‘Happy Diwali’
OREL STATE UNIVERSITY hosted a traditional evening of Indian culture

02.11.2024

It was dedicated to Diwali: Festival of Lights, a major Indian and Hindu holiday. Its main elements are luminous lanterns, lights and lit candles symbolising the victory of good over evil. The festival was organised by Medical Institute of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev

"Diwali is a festival of fire, light and goodness, in many ways similar to the Russian New Year. There are 800 students from India studying at the Medical Institute now, and for the tenth year in a row we have been creating such a holiday for all our students.The key moment is a colorful concert of Indian art, but before it starts, everyone can enjoy various Indian traditions: see the traditional Rambuli ornament of the Indians, which is painted in front of the house and the exhibition "The diversity of Indian culture and life", visit a corner where beautiful Indian women will help you try on your favorite sari, as well as the most popular - henna painting on the skin Mehendi. This year's innovation is a master class in Indian dance, which is being held right now by Raghav Sharma, a fourth-year student - the leader of the students from India, and third-year student Honey Sharma. I wish you a happy Diwali, peace to all our homes and families. Let the friendship of nations always be a priority!’, - said Paitsar Danielyan, festival organiser, responsible for working with foreign students of Orel State University Medical Institute.

The culmination of the evening was the concert program. It started with the important tradition of lighting the Diwali fire. The guests of honor - Acting First Vice-Rector Andrey Pashin, Director of the International Relations Department of Orel State University Svetlana Aronova, Head of Orel Branch of the Assembly of the Peoples of Russia Galina Glazova, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Medical Institute Lyudmila Kachmarskaya, Head of Student Dormitories Ivan Silkin and Commandant of Dormitory No. 3 Natalya Shoshina symbolically lit candles and were marked with the famous Indian bindi - a colored dot that Hindu women draw in the center of their foreheads, the so-called "third eye".

"Wishing you a good time tonight and cheering everyone on loud and loud. This event is great because we Russians will learn much more about India, gain respect and a deeper understanding of Indian culture. And you will understand us Russians more. Let's build good, kind, friendly relations between our countries with great traditions and colourful cultures”,Andrey Pashin wished the audience.

The spectacular concert combined energetic hip-hop with Indian songs, traditional dances and songs of India, modern pop compositions in Indian language, as well as a fascinating dance duet of a Russian woman and an Indian man. The audience actively supported the performers, sang along with them as if with karaoke, lit up flashlights on their phones to lyrical songs, shouted festive lines and the unchanging "Happy Diwali" after each number.

"India is one of our largest diasporas. When the sun begins to set in Russia, India gives a small piece of light, lighting it in its own hearts and in the hearts of all those involved in the holiday. I wish you that the light we light every year never goes out, ‘ Svetlana Aronova said from the stage.

The performances ended with a powerful mass dance and ceremonial speeches by Indians – representatives of companies that are involved in attracting Indian students to study at Orel state University.

 

BRICS Universities Ranking 

 

The Association of Ranking Compilers (ARC) has prepared the first pilot version of the BRICS universities ranking. The idea of the ranking was proposed in 2023 by representatives of South Africa, and in the same year it was enshrined in the declaration following the meeting of BRICS education ministers. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously approved the idea of preparing BRICS university ranking based on the “Three University Missions” family of rankings developed by the Russian Rectors’ Union since 2012. This initiative was put forward on February 8 at the meeting of the Presidential Council for Science and Education by Viktor Sadovnichy, President of the Russian Rectors’ Union and Rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The final list included 600 educational institutions from ten Commonwealth countries: Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and South Africa. The leaders of the BRICS universities ranking were Peking University (1st place), Lomonosov Moscow State University (2nd place) and Tsinghua University (3rd place). The largest number of universities in the ranking — 207 — are located in China. The second country by number of participants in the ranking was Russia (161 universities), third place in this parameter was taken by India (93 universities). Next comes Brazil (55 universities) — the BRICS country with the highest concentration of strong universities outside Eurasia. Iran is represented in the ranking by 27 universities, all other participating countries have less than 20 universities in the final list.

The top hundred of the ranking included 24 universities from Russia. The highest positions, in addition to Moscow State University, were taken by Saint Petersburg State University (5th place), Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (6th place), National Research University Higher School of Economics (10th place) and National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (15th place).

Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev entered the group of world universities with the position 401+. The strongest side of Russian universities is the quality of education, which is also typical for our University. The entry of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev into the ranking of universities of the BRICS countries with such positions is another result of the recognition of the University's work at the global level.

The head of the International Research Laboratory “Problems of Social and Territorial Heterogeneity”, head of the Department of Romance Philology at orel state University Tatyana Retinskaya will take part in the work of the XX International Scientific Conference on Onomastics, organized by the National Archives of France and the University of Caen.

   

For reference.
Onomastics is a section of linguistics that studies proper names, the history of their origin and transformation as a result of their long-term use in the source language or in connection with borrowing into other languages.

The event will take place from 11 to 13 September. Tatyana Ivanovna will present the results of her research on regional variants of French in a remote format.

‘The study emphasises the importance of territorial linguistic features and their impact on cultural identity. In the context of such growing challenges as migration and global media influence, understanding and respect for linguistic diversity and regional dialects as an intangible cultural heritage become especially important,’ notes the Orel sociolinguist.

Tatiana Retinskaya was the only Russian scholar invited to participate in the conference.

Tatiana's work on sociolinguistic analyses of French corporate argot and regiolects is known not only in Russia, but also abroad. She is constantly involved in field research of French speech practice, for whom unconventional (non-conforming - ed.) lexical units are a natural and organic source of word usage. Tatiana Retinskaya has published more than 220 scientific and educational works on this problem, including 8 articles in scientific journals indexed in foreign databases (Scopus, Web of Science) and in RSCI.

The results of Tatyana Retinskaya's participation in the scientific conference will be posted in the social networks of the Department of Romance Philology.

 

orel state university Tour League successfully completed a scientific and educational expedition to the Kola Peninsula

 

13.08.2024

From 27 July to 5 August the team of OSU Tourist League traditionally carried out the annual expedition to the heart of the Khibiny Mountains.

Every summer the Tourist League together with the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of Orel State University organises hiking trips to different corners of our vast country from the Crimea to the Caucasus. One of such corners is the Khibiny mountain tundras on the Kola Peninsula. These are very old mountains, their age is more than 300 million years.

‘It was the first time we participated in this kind of activity, so ten days in tents seemed unusual, but the company was great. We overcame ourselves, learnt to think ahead, bathed in a mountain stream and slept on rocks, and also observed incredible beauty. Most memorable was conquering one of the highest peaks. Physically it was difficult, but when you reach the top, stand on the very edge and watch the scenery, you realise - it was not in vain. We would go again, because ten days were not enough to learn all the secrets and beauty’ - said Maxim Korotkov and Tatiana Koshcheeva, a student of the Institute of Instrumentation, Automation and Information Technology of OSU and a student of the Faculty of Art and Graphic Arts of our University.

This year the expedition team consisted of 45 people of different ages and cities of Russia, including students and graduates of Orel State University. Within 10 days, the travellers successfully made a trip beyond the Arctic Circle, to the Kola Peninsula in the Khibiny Mountains!

‘My husband and I love travelling, but it was the first time we went on such a serious camping trip. The experience of small trips helped, as we already had the skills of cooking over a fire, sleeping in a tent and so on, but during the excursion no one was left without attention and even beginners adapted quickly. Physical endurance increased and a strong social circle was formed. We had a lot of bonding activities, from daily campfire meetings to rafting across the river. We even played real KVN game, where we divided into teams and performed humorous skits. Of course we were engaged in scientific activity - we found different mineral rocks. Next year we plan to go on an expedition to Arkhyz or conquer the Elbrus region with the Tour League’ - shared Anastasia Evdokimova, a graduate of Orel State University and a participant of the expedition.

Each expedition includes an updated route – after all, the global goal is to mark safe trails for tourists, for example, throughout the Kola Peninsula. During the expedition, we managed to survive various weather conditions, fully experience the nature of the Khibiny Mountains, the romance of hiking conditions, and even get to the period of white nights in the north.

‘We have been visiting the Kola Peninsula since 2013, we have found a lot of interesting artefacts and evidence. It is a mystical place, along with Tibet and the Pyramids of Egypt. This year, when we took a new route to Akademicheskoye Lake, we saw how rain and clouds really form. In the process of rain a sun funnel was formed in the sky, from which a ray of light was coming, despite the fact that the rest of the sky was covered with clouds. We brought a lot of stones and minerals, which were traditionally handed over to the Department of Chemistry for spectral analysis and further joint study. We had even more than we needed. The second task was to mark safe trails, both in the field and in electronic navigators, so that the route could be visited by anyone, even without the participation of professional tourists and guides. The most important thing, of course, is that the guys learnt to live in tents, to climb ropes, to cook food over a fire, to live in camping mode, to master the skills of mountaineering and physical training. In 10 days we became ready for more serious expeditions. Nobody got sick or had conflicts, we lived as a big family. Now we are preparing to leave for Arkhyz, then to Prielbrusie. Then we hope to make a regular ascent to Elbrus’ - said Stanislav Makhov, head of the Tourist League, lecturer of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Physical Education and Sports at Orel State University.

The research potential of the League's expeditions is high and attracts both professionals and amateurs.

‘We are looking for stones for the second year, for me studying them is a hobby. At first I just asked to bring them back, last year I travelled there myself. In the Khibiny massif the most common minerals are astrophyllite or otherwise Khibiny gold, eudialyte, aegirine with green casts, orthoclase of white colour. Very rarely there are stones made of one mineral, mostly they contain several minerals. Habinite is common - a mineral of greenish colour with black inclusions. In the final version we make souvenirs out of them and also study them together with the Department of Chemistry’ - said Tatyana Rtischeva, Deputy Director  for Information Technologies of the University Scientific Library.

Having united people of different ages, cities and worldviews, the expedition made it possible to realise all the planned goals: to build new safe routes in the Khibiny Mountains, to study minerals and nature, to teach travellers the basics of mountaineering and mountain tourism. Experienced TourLiga instructors, former travellers and beginners became a friendly team in 10 days.

‘The participants showed themselves perfectly, became more confident in the process of the classes. We implemented an updated route, which became more interesting and touched the Academic Lake. We continued marking trails, found many springs with drinking water. In a few days we are heading to Arkhyz - a more southern, colourful, flowery mountain section. As instructors, we try to support, advise, teach and give confidence to the participants. We are waiting for everyone to join our instructors, we will teach you everything from scratch. We are always happy to welcome guests and those who have been with us for many years’. - concluded Alexey Timashov, League instructor.

All team members coped with the ascents, overcame their fears and insecurities, and were able to experience the severity, beauty and majesty of the Khibiny Mountains! The next large-scale expedition to the Caucasus Mountains to Arkhyz will take place from 15 to 22 August.

Round table “French argotology in Russia”

07.06.2024

On June 5, the Department of Romance Philology of the Institute of Foreign Languages organized a round table “French argotology in Russia”, dedicated to the 5th anniversary of the International Research Laboratory “Problems of Social and Territorial Heterogeneity”.

The event united sociolinguists of different generations: teachers, postgraduates, dissertation researchers who are preparing to defend their theses, and students making their first steps on the path of studying youth and professional argot at the Boiling Point venue of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev.

The speakers brilliantly presented the results of their scientific research and interested the audience with dictionaries of substandard units that clearly mark the speech of French people of different social strata: policemen, farmers, couturiers, artists, perfumers and others. The jury had difficulties in choosing the best presentations, as the scientific component of all the presentations was more than worthy. However, having consulted, the teachers awarded prizes - ‘Dictionary of Argo of French Students’ by Tatiana Retinskaya - to Maria Zarubina, a student of group 13LNG, for a complex analysis of the stylistically reduced vocabulary of the novel Kiffe kiffe demain by Faiza Gene, and to Evgenia Molchanova, a student of group 13PGOi, for her report on the argot of French bakers and confectioners, accompanied by an interactive quiz, which allowed to familiarise the audience with the elements of this professional argot in a playful way.

 

The students who took part in the anniversary meeting of the laboratory mastered the methodology of systematic description of French argotisms, which can be applied both to the characterisation of a separate sublanguage and to the comparative analysis of several social variants of the national language; they learned to inventory linguistic material and analyse argotic units in the fabric of a work of fiction. Special attention was paid to the characterisation of the convergent approach to the choice of research directions, which contributes to the identification of universal and specific features of the functioning of elements of argotic vocabularies.

This meeting of the scientific community was also an excellent occasion to sum up the work of the International Research Laboratory “Problems of Social and Territorial Heterogeneity”.

The Faculty of Training for Foreign Students held the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture

31.05.2024

“And there were words of wondrous beginning...”

A project with the same name, dedicated to the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, was implemented at the Faculty of Training for Foreign Students by teachers of the Department of Russian as a Foreign Language and Intercultural Communication Larisa Aleshina and Tatyana Shadrina, as well as students of groups 8 and 9 of the Preparatory Department.

The first event “History of the Russian alphabet” (round table) took place on May 18. The students learned the history of the holiday, became acquainted with the life, scientific and educational feats of the brothers Cyril and Methodius.

On May 21, a master class “Learning to write in Cyrillic” was held. Listeners continued their acquaintance with the history of the development of writing and the stages of its formation (subject, pictographic, hieroglyphic, syllabic, alphabetical). We compared the first Slavic alphabets with the modern Russian alphabet and learned to write using the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet. A drawing competition was held in two categories: “Disappeared letters of the Russian alphabet”; “The most beautiful letters in ancient books”, and the winners have been announced.

The final event of the project took place on May 25. The students enjoyed the atmosphere of linguistic games and competitions: they solved puzzles, charades, riddles, crosswords, played word lotto, etc.

 

New publication in the journal Q1 from the research and development Center of Biomedical Photonics and foreign colleagues

30.05.2024

The team of the Cellular Physiology and Pathology Laboratory of the Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics of OSU named after I.S. Turgenev (A.Yu. Vinokurov, M.Yu. Pogonyalova, A.Yu. Abramov) together with colleagues from University College London (Plamena Angelova) and Miticholine Ltd company (Larisa Andreeva) published an article "Energy substrate supplementation increases ATP levels and is protective to PD neurons" in the journal Current Research in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery (Q1, IF 3.97).

The pathology of Parkinson's disease is very complex and involves many cellular and molecular factors, such as oxidative stress, calcium signaling, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Any change in the bioenergetics of mitochondria affects the function of brain cells, which opens up prospects for regulating the metabolism of astrocytes and neurons using physiologically active substances.

The published work showed that mitochondrial substrates: pyruvate, succinate, choline, choline succinate and nicotinamide, as well as combinations of these compounds, increase mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial NADH accumulation and ATP levels. In this case, the combination of succinate salt, choline and nicotinamide turned out to be the most effective. The compounds that were most effective at increasing ATP levels also further protected familial Parkinson's disease cells from glutamate excitotoxicity.

We congratulate the authors on their publication and wish them further success in their research!

"Pilots of the Future" is a large-scale project of the Movement of the First organisation. It is aimed at developing in-demand drone control skills among young people, as well as gaining knowledge about the use and improvement of unmanned aircraft systems.

The regional stage of the Championship is held across the country from April 8 to 28. In Orel region, the co-organizers of the regional stage were Orel State University and the Federation of Drone Racing of Orel region.

As part of the opening ceremony of the regional stage, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Russian Movement of Children and Youth "Movement of the First" and the Russian Drone Racing Federation.

The competition was attended by 22 teams from 12 municipalities of the region. Each team consisted of 4 people: 2 pilots, 1 engineer-technician and 1 mentor. The regional stage of the Championship was held in two disciplines: drone racing simulator and testing. While the pilots of the teams were speeding through a specially designed course, the engineers and technicians were testing their knowledge of the UAV device.

Nail Sharifov, Acting Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering at Orel State University and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Automated Control Systems and Cybernetics, acted as the main judge of the regional stage.

In addition to the competitions, schoolchildren also took part in a master class of the University students in the control of real drones in the flight cube and visited the scientific laboratories of the Scientific and Technical Center of Biomedical Photonics, the Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering and the Department of Automated Control Systems and Cybernetics.

One of the main events of the regional stage of the Championship was the round table "Development of small unmanned aviation in Orel region". The discussion was attended by Alexander Fedotov, Rector of Orel State University, Irina Patronova, Head of the Department of Education of Orel region, Anton Gomozov, Council Chairman of the Movement of the First regional branch in Orel Region, and his deputy Denis Orlov, Andrey Katunin, Director of the Mtsensk branch of Orel State University, Viktor Lantsev, Head of the children's Technopark "Quantorium", and other guests.

The round table participants shared their experience in the use of unmanned aircraft and the development of this particularly relevant area today, and also discussed support measures for the popularization of UAVs among young people in the context of the new national project “Unmanned Aircraft Systems”.

“The University has been working on the topic of unmanned aerial vehicles since 2019. It came naturally because it was interesting and modern. It is interesting for both our teachers and students. It so happens that we already have some success in this area. We periodically declare ourselves at the federal level, including taking first places in team competitions.

The University is investing a lot of effort in the development of unmanned aviation in the region, because we understand that this is very important now, including in order to interest our students and motivate them to stay in their native region,” noted Alexander Fedotov.

At the closing of the regional stage, all teams were awarded certificates of participation, and the names of the winners were announced.

“First of all, I want to thank everyone for taking the time and taking part in our Championship. Secondly, we are happy to demonstrate that within the walls of our University there are all conditions for practicing drones, and if you want to develop in this direction, then be sure to come to us. Today we saw a lot of sparkling eyes from guys who are really interested in this and who already have experience working with UAVs. I wish them not to give up this business and develop, because not only aircraft, but ground and watercraft are unmanned. If you want to connect your life with this sphere, we will help you to implement it,” noted Nail Sharifov

current results of the space experiment by scientists from OSU named after I. S. Turgenev are published on federal media resources

19.03.2024

The LASMA space experiment has been conducted aboard the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) since December 2021 (it will continue until 2025). Orel State University acts as one of the co-producers of this targeted work on board the ISS.

The experiment is devoted to the study of blood microcirculation and fluorescence of biotissues in microgravity conditions. The current results were published in the journal Aerospace and Environmental Medicine. The scientists' study was also published in TASS.

The paper presents for the first time the results of the study of blood microcirculation in weightlessness conditions, obtained using portable laser analyzers "LAZMA-PF" with the participation of pilot-cosmonaut, hero of Russia Alexander Misurkin and space tourists Yusaku Maezawa and Yozo Hirano during the expedition visit EP-20.

During the first 2-3 days in weightlessness, the astronaut experienced redistribution of blood to the upper part of the body, after which the mechanisms of blood flow regulation were activated, and on the 6th day of flight the blood microcirculation system returned to normal. In the second cosmonaut (space tourist), who used special leg bands, which do not allow the fluid to leave the lower part of the body, such an effect was not observed, and in the first few days of flight, the work of the endothelial layer of blood vessels was activated.

In general, in the process of reorganization of the blood microcirculation system under microgravity conditions, the most pronounced changes in the parameters occurred in the temporal region of the head and in the region of the lower extremities on the 2nd and 3rd days of flight and were characterized by a significant decrease in tissue perfusion, increased vascular tone with a gradual recovery of preflight values by the 6th day of space flight (SF).

Thus, for the first time a method of registration of blood microcirculation parameters and oxidative metabolism in weightlessness using portable analyzers was developed and successfully tested. Thus, our scientists managed to send on board the international space station the newest domestic devices "LAZMA PF" for recording the functional state of peripheral vessels and tissue metabolism, where with their help cosmonauts assess the adaptation of the organism to the conditions of space flight, conducting measurements on the skin of temples, hands and feet.

Currently, the experiment on board the ISS continues with participants of the 70th long-term expedition - Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Alexander Grebenkin.

Days of OSU named after I. S. Turgenev at the International RUSSIA EXPO

24.01.2024

On January 24-25, Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev presents its exposition in the pavilion of  Orel region at the International RUSSIA EXPO as part of the “Decade of Education and Science”. University teachers and students prepared many interesting and educational activities for visitors of the exhibition.
Anyone can test their knowledge in the field of financial literacy using a quest in the “YourFinGuide” mobile application, developed as part of the strategic project “Orel is a Literary Capital”.
“Our application does not collect any personal data and at the same time makes it possible to complete quests and quizzes in an interactive format - linked to geotags and geoposition,” said Irina Maslova, Acting Director of the Institute of Economics and Management, Deputy General Director of the Association for the Development of Financial Literacy.

This location turned out to be popular among different generations of people. Especially for older guests of the exhibition, for whom it is very important to improve their knowledge in the field of financial literacy and security, so as not to fall for scammers in the future.
Another useful part of the University exhibition was the “Professional Kaleidoscope”, thanks to which visitors get acquainted with medical professions and first aid skills using simulators. It is represented by OSU Medical Institute, headed by director Irina Snimshchikova, responsible for educational and career guidance work, Liliya Koroleva and students.
“We talk about our most interesting simulators so that young visitors can try themselves in the role of future doctors: perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, help a person if he is choking, and also show how dentists actually work so that they are not afraid of them. And, of course, we teach first aid for common injuries and abrasions,” shared Polina Potselueva, a student of the Medical Institute.

 

The University demonstrates the cultural wealth of Orel region at the master classes “Making a souvenir based on the patterns of the Orel Spis embroidery" and “ “Bird” and “Bunny on the finger” folk finger puppets. Visitors paint blank souvenirs and make dolls from templates.
“At our table, with the help of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology student, Margarita Korobetskaya, guests are making a talisman - a textile bell doll from blanks that we made in advance. At the same time, adults rejoice like children and hang it around their necks.
In addition, here you can get acquainted with the literary heritage of Orel region - make postcards with your own hands, placing on them small portraits of Orel writers and their quotes (which still need to be correctly correlated). You can also decorate the postcard with symbols of Orel region, for example, a picture with Orel Spis embroidery. Guests can decorate keychains with the same pattern as a souvenir,” said Elena Alekseenko, Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Primary General Education at the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology.

When talking about the University, one cannot fail to mention its scientific activities. Young and adult guests of the exhibition can get closer to serious science and advanced technologies at the “Nano is Nearby” master class, conducted by the head of the Department of Chemistry, Evgeniy Gribanov.
Visitors will get acquainted with high-tech equipment and will be able to observe the peculiarities of the organization of the surface of materials at the nanolevel.
“Online we can observe the study of the surface of gold as one of the materials. We see the structural elements of the surface, their characteristic dimensions, etc. This is necessary to conduct targeted synthesis of materials,” noted Evgeniy Gribanov.

Let us recall that on the basis of a scanning probe microscope, which is part of the presented complex, the “Nanoprobe” was created and launched into low-Earth orbit - a satellite that online allows you to study the influence of high-energy cosmic dust, for example, on the skin of spaceships. There, at the exhibition, using a special website, it was possible to see the current location of the satellite.
Those who enjoy reading can learn to write an amateur essay based on popular original literary works on a given topic thanks to a master class “How to write fan fiction ” by a senior teacher of the Department of History of Russian Literature of the 11th-19th centuries at OSU named after I.S. Turgenev Maria Fedorchuk. You can find out what “fan fiction” is in our interview with Maria Alexandrovna as part of the project “OSU Scientists Speak.”

In addition, each visitor will be able to try on the image of a 16th-century archer and listen to a short story about excavations at Sudbischi battlefield.

 The exposition of Orel State University named after I. S. Turgenev was visited by a representative of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Oleg Mugin. Vice-Rector for Research, Design and Innovation Activities Larisa Borisoglebskaya told him about what innovation projects the University is currently implementing and what high-tech enterprises it is collaborating with.

In addition, Oleg Olegovich got acquainted with the campus project, which will open on the basis of OSU named after I. S. Turgenev in 2026. The concept of the future campus was presented by the head of the Department of Scientific and Innovation Projects Denis Danilevich.

Upon arrival in the city, the students went to the Transfiguration Cathedral, where they saw part of the service, learned about the history of the founding of the temple from Komova Marianna Alexandrovna. Climbing the bell tower left a special impression. At an altitude of 76 meters, the guys managed to take beautiful photos, touch the ancient bell, look at the picturesque landscapes with many temples and cathedrals. Students fully felt like bell ringers. The next point of the excursion plan was the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity, a cultural monument of the 17th century. In it, the students were told about the life of St. George of Kosovo in Orel.

After the visit to the temples there was a break for lunch, which was also Orthodox in character. All the dishes at Cafe 777 were exclusively from the Lenten menu. The afternoon was set aside for a visit to the Bolkhov Museum of Local Lore. An excursion were devoted to the history of Orel region, Bolkhov district in particular, writers and poets of the region, everyday life and customs of the city.

By the end of the event everyone's cheeks were hurting from smiling. On a joyful note, the trip ended with a joint photo.

Participants of the trip note that they learned a lot about the traditions and Orthodox holidays.
"This day will stay in my memory for a long time. Thank you very much for the wonderful tour, for the interesting story. We have seen churches many times, we passed by some of them every day, but we knew nothing about them. Now we will look at them with different eyes. It is wonderful that Russians keep the memory of their past. It's very important for young people. This we can learn from the Russians," one of the participants shared his impressions of the trip.
"In this trip we were able to show the important through the prism of the simple. The main goal of this event was to help international students to get acquainted with our cultural heritage and spiritual values, to give foreign students and Russian-speaking people an opportunity to learn a little more about our faith. In my opinion, this goal has been achieved," said Albina Agaeva, Associate Professor of Theory and History of State and Law Department.

FOREIGN STUDENTS OF OSU LAW INSTITUTE SELEBRATED MASLENITSA FESTIVAL

22.02.2023

One of the good traditions of the Law Institute in recent years has been the involvement of international students in the daily life of our country through good, well-established traditions. One of these holidays was the Russian Pancake Day(Maslenitsa). It is a holiday of both Russian tradition, analogies of which are found in almost all nations whose lives are connected with the arrival of spring, and all the charm that lives in the festive Russian national clothes.

 

Students of the Law Institute of OSU named after I.S. Turgenev selebrated with traditional pancakes, jam, bagels and other symbols of both Russian cuisine and a traditional student feast. There were pancakes from several housewives, and, as they say, from a domestic manufacturer. It is both possible and necessary to understand another country through what and how they eat here.

It is no secret that another country, in which you have not just to live for several years, but also to study in another language, does not immediately become familiar. In order to smooth the difficulties of cultural exchange and understanding the culture of the new country, OSU Theory and History of State and Law Department constantly helps foreign students studying international and comparative law at Law Institute to feel closer to what is called the Russian culture.

New in this year's carnival was the fact that undergraduates of the Theory and History of State and Law Department, studying in the profile "Historical and Legal Education", within the framework of pedagogical practice, took the most lively, and bilingual participation in this event, carrying both the word and the music of the great Russian classical composers to the student audience.

"OUR NEXT TARGET IS THE PLAYOFF!"

HOCKEY PLAYERS OF OREL STATE UNIVERSITY BEAT THE FORMIDABLE FAVOURITE TWICE AT HOME.

24.01.2023

In the last round of the Student Hockey League hockey players of Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev hosted Kazan "Krylatye Bars". Home games with Tambov "Derzhava" already made the newcomers to the elite of student hockey look at the team in a new way. The players of Orel team are gradually getting used to the new tournament, getting hard knocks and starting to believe in themselves. The games with the Bars only confirmed that.
The home team didn't give their opponents or fans the slightest chance to think they might lose. At some points, they still lacked chemistry, but they more than made up for those deficiencies with individual skill and the home court factor. Orel fans saw bright hockey in person at home, and it will be the matches of the last tour that will draw more attention to the team of Orel State University.

Both games pleased the fans with a large number of goals scored and two beautiful victories of the Orel team: 5:3 and 8:5.
Samvel Davtyan, captain of the I.S. Turgenev OGU team: "The valuable thing about this victory is that we defeated a strong opponent. The guys are the winners of the Student Hockey League. These victories are a big success for us. I hope that's just the beginning. These matches confirmed that we are gradually becoming a team. We're getting to know each other from the game point of view and we're improving our tactics. I don't think we're thinking about the playoffs yet - there are still too many games to play. We must give our best in every game. Playing against tough opponents like we did in our group is a big opportunity for each player to grow. And that growth is sure to pay off. More precisely, it has already begun."

Adel Galiullin, player of HC "Krylatye Bars" (Kazan): "After home games there was some self-confidence. Maybe we underestimated our opponent somewhere. But excuses are the lot of the weak. We have what we have. I have to give credit to our opponent; their mood was very different from how it was in Kazan. We saw a completely different team here. They had a great commitment. Last week, when the Orel hockey team played with Tambov and put up a very good fight, you could see that the team is getting used to it. The foundations were being laid. They had to take a shot. And they did."

 Gennady Skiba, the coach of Orel State University team: "The meeting with Kazan hockey players in the first round ended unsuccessfully for us - we lost both games with a large score. There were many reasons for that, we were brought down by injuries and illnesses. I admit that we were expecting a hard fought game in this round. In the last round, in games against Tambov Derzhava, we showed an equal game. And there was hope for the development of success. And everything has turned out".

 

THE RESULTS OF THE SCHOOLCHILDREN'S CONFERENCE TITLED "BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES THROUGH THE EYES OF YOUNG RESEARCHERS"

17.01.2023

On January 10, 2023, the traditional annual Scientific and Practical Conference of schoolchildren "Biological sciences through the eyes of young researchers" was held at the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biotechnology of Orel State University. The organizer and ideological inspirer of the Conference is Associate Professor of the Department of Botany, Physiology and Biochemistry of Plants, Ph.D. Tatyana Tsutsupa.
The online Conference was attended by students of grades 5-11 of secondary schools and gymnasiums, as well as institutions of additional education in the city of Orel and Orel region. The format of the Conference was not chosen by chance. Weather conditions and the epidemiological situation do not always allow young participants to get to the venue of the event from remote areas of the region.

The meeting of young researchers was opened with a welcoming speech by Angela Tyapkina, director of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biotechnology. Natalia Kondykova, the Institute Career Guidance Coordinator, spoke about the specifics of the areas of study and the specifics of the admissions campaign in 2023. This information has undoubtedly become important for students in grades 10-11 and will help them in choosing directions for their future studies at the University.
Eight sections were organized in the work of the Scientific and Practical Conference: "Applied Ecology", "Bioecology", "Biotechnology", "History of the development of natural science", "Diversity, protection and rational use of animals", "Botany", "Physiology, biochemistry of plants and biophysics", "Anatomy and physiology of man". The reports of the participants caused a heated discussion of the jury members and many questions, since each work revealed the topics that are relevant today.
In particular, the speech of Mikhail Kolesnikov (Grade 11, MBOU-Secondary School No. 6, Orel) revealed the seriousness of self-harm - an urgent problem for modern teenagers. The report demonstrated the personal example of the author in solving the pressing issue of helping teenagers get rid of the obsessive idea of inflicting bodily harm on themselves.

An interesting report was made by Denis Chirkov (grade 7, MBOU-school No. 51 of Orel), in which he demonstrated practical work on making shampoo from natural products, which allows you to maintain healthy hair and scalp.

The work of Alina Korotkova and Anton Pervykh (10th grade, Educational Institution of Orel Region "Constellation of Orel") attracted special attention. The children managed to screen nitrogen-fixing bacteria for their ability to stimulate plant growth. The data obtained are undoubtedly of interest to scientists-microbiologists, plant breeders and biotechnologists.

The works and reports of the participants of the Conference were evaluated by the members of the jury - leading teachers of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Biotechnology, who have scientific degrees of candidates and doctors of sciences.
According to the results of the Conference, the jury determined the winners and prize-winners, who were given diplomas of appropriate categories. The work of supervisors and mentors of the Conference participants was noted by letters of gratitude.
