a serious need for a safe, effective product with a wide range of activities that could be used both on an industrial scale and on private farms to improve crop yields and the quality of crop products
With the rapid development of industry and mining, cadmium (Cd)pollution is increasingly serious in farmland soil. Cd with mobility and high toxicity is easily absorbed by crops and accumulation in edible parts, enters the body through the food chain, thus affect human health. In order to reduce the Cd content in edible parts of crops in heavy metal contaminated farmland and ensure food safety in production, it is particularly important to develop and explore a set of environmentally friendly, safe and effective Cd pollution prevention and control technologies. Microbial remediation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly remediation method for heavy metal pollution. It can not only reduce the bioavailability of Cd in soil by changing soil medium structure and biomeralization, but also indirectly regulate soil microbiome-driven element cycling to promote nutrient absorption by plants. Functional microorganisms can improve soil fertility and soil health, and have good application prospects in the safe production of food from contaminated farmland.
Modern society faces the growth of chronic diseases and a weakened immune system. Vinibis develops and produces innovative biotechnological products based on bee products to improve public health.
Currently, the range of food products is becoming more and more diverse. At the same time, the number of people with health problems associated with incorrectly selected nutrition, leading to the development of such common diseases as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (celiac disease and lactase deficiency), is increasing. On the other hand, the development of these diseases and the metabolic response on food are genetically determined. The contribution of genetic factors in development of these diseases varies from 40 to 70%, depending on the nature of the disease. Thus, elucidating the genetic causes of these diseases can help identify appropriate preventive and therapeutic interventions, including diet, to prevent the development of diseases or treat them more effectively. The current capabilities of genetic analysis make it possible to identify an individual reaction to certain nutritional components and prevent diseases associated with an imbalance or intolerance to certain nutrients. That's why nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics significantly developed in recent years, and a large number of studies have been conducted to determine the possible interaction between specific types of diet and genotype and to personalize recommendations for dietary disease prevention and intervention. A sufficient number of studies were accumulated indicating the benefits of taking into account genetics when choosing a treatment strategy and preventing excess weight, metabolic and nutritional disorders (including vitamin and mineral deficiency, lactose intolerance, celiac disease etc.). Platform for nutrition personalization based on genetic and personal data can help identify risk groups for these diseases, personalize their prevention and treatment, and increase people's involvement in improving their own health. We have developed a range of genetic panels with systems for interpretation and recommendations based on individual human genetic data. Our developments are based on the latest data from genetic research, clinical trials and gene-environment (including gene-diet) interactions. For genetic analysis, we use modern, highly accurate and high-tech molecular genetic methods: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Personalization and consulting based on personal genetic characteristics will not only contribute to the increased effectiveness of treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases, vitamin deficiencies, etc., but also to increased patient involvement in their own health improvement.
A lot of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide diagnostics and therapy of a large number of diseases, mainly cancer, have been developed in Russia. However, a significant part of them are not registered in Russia. It makes them unavailable for patients with terminal stages of malignant neoplasms. In 2020 the Russian Ministry of Health issued Orders No. 1218n (12.11.2020) and No. 780n (31.07.2020), which provided wide opportunities for medical organizations to manufacture radiopharmaceuticals, including those, which are not registered in the Russian Federation. In 2021, a radiopharmacy (nuclear pharmacy) was organized in A. Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Centre – a branch of Federal State Budgetary Institution «National Medical Radiological Centre» of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. To date, the following therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are manufactured in radiopharmacy: 1) «Lutaprost-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical radiopharmaceutical based on low molecular weight PSMA inhibitor (PSMA-617) and lutetium-177 for radioligand therapy of patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer; 2) «Prostactin-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on PSMA-617 and alpha-emitting radionuclide actinium-225 for radioligand therapy of patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer; 3) «Hepatoren-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on human blood albumin microspheres (20-40 μm in diameter), labeled with rhenium-188, for hepatic artery radioembolization and inoperable liver cancer treatment; 4) «Artroren-MRRC» - radiopharmaceutical based on human blood albumin microspheres (5-10 μm in diameter), labeled with rhenium-188, for radiosynovectomy of knee joints with synovitis; 5) 177Lu-DOTATATE - radiopharmaceutical based on octreotide analog and lutetium-177 for radioligand therapy of patients with neuroendocrine tumors. The radiopharmacy has all authorization documents for working with radioactive substances and for manufacturing radiopharmaceuticals for the needs of the medical organization. These radiopharmaceuticals are not registered in Russia, but the possibility of their manufacturing makes them available for treatment patients in Russia.

The shortage of radiologists and their workload. The medical decision support system allows you to automate the process of initial viewing and identify alarming images (with suspected pathology).
On the market there is a lack of a software product that can predict man-made disasters. This gives us the opportunity to prevent an accident. Unlike monitoring systems that warn of accidents in the range of a few minutes to several hours, which is very short, we will be able to predict accidents in the range of several years. If you give notice of an accident for several hours, the plant employee will only have time to turn off the emergency equipment. Managing the life cycle of an industrial enterprise is a complex process associated with large risks and areas of responsibility. Companies constantly need to monitor product output and compliance with the technological process, thousands of employees and tens of thousands of pieces of equipment. It is difficult to predict breakdowns and plan repair work without disrupting the production chain. Managing the assets of an entire enterprise is even more difficult. Software products, including those that we are developing, make it possible to simplify the life of an enterprise by digitalizing these operations and data. Furthermore, in 2022, Russian industry faced new challenges: due to the withdrawal of many Western companies from the market and import restrictions, domestic companies lost access to foreign equipment, materials and technologies critical for the operation of the enterprise as a whole. The situation is further aggravated by the outflow of highly qualified personnel moving to more marginal segments of the economy and foreign companies. At the same time, the problem with the obsolescence of the technological park of large industrial enterprises only continued to worsen. Simple RBI is a software product that completely replaces foreign competitors in the Russian market.
Electric power substitution for heavy-duty trucks is a crucial entry point for achieving the "dual carbon" goals in the transportation sector. China has long maintained the world's leading position in railway and highway passenger and freight volumes, port throughput, and power generation, but freight emissions remain high. Trucks account for about 11% of the total number of vehicles but contribute approximately 65% of the sector's total carbon emissions. In Beijing, heavy-duty fuel trucks alone account for about 80% of all motor vehicle carbon emissions. Since 2019, China has been promoting new energy medium and heavy-duty trucks in industries such as thermal power, steel, coal, coking, non-ferrous metals, and cement, as well as in logistics parks and major freight corridors for bulk cargo transportation. Developing zero-emission freight fleets has become a necessary path for the clean and high-quality development of China's freight transportation. The penetration rate of new energy heavy-duty trucks is steadily increasing, achieving a significant scale in energy saving and emission reduction. Since the introduction of battery-swapping (BS) heavy-duty trucks in 2019, they have quickly become one of the core solutions for new energy heavy-duty trucks. From 2021 to 2023, the compound annual growth rate of new energy heavy-duty trucks reached 90%. Among them, pure electric trucks (including BS) consistently accounted for about 90% of new energy heavy-duty trucks. The compound annual growth rate for BS heavy-duty trucks was about 73%, while for charging heavy-duty trucks it was 81%, with the ratio of BS to charging being approximately 1:1. Other solutions, such as hydrogen fuel heavy-duty trucks, are mainly driven by policies; methanol and 5 / 38 hybrid heavy-duty trucks are still in the early stages of development and are not yet mature. Since the beginning of 2024, driven by the advantages of fuel economy, the sales and market share of pure electric heavy-duty trucks have continued to rise. From January to May, a total of 19,592 pure electric heavy-duty trucks were sold, including 11,353 charging heavy-duty trucks and 8,239 BS heavy-duty trucks, marking a yearon-year growth of 149.5%. The proportion of pure electric heavy-duty trucks among new energy heavy-duty trucks increased to 92.5%. In May 2024, the penetration rate of new energy heavy-duty trucks in the domestic market reached 10.8%, achieving a single-month penetration rate exceeding 10%. Based on the estimated over 10 million heavy-duty fuel trucks in China, replacing 30% of them with electric heavy-duty trucks, equivalent to 3 million vehicles, would result in an annual increase in electricity consumption by 432 billion kWh, a reduction in diesel consumption by 129.6 billion liters, and a reduction in CO2 emissions by approximately 341 million tons. This replacement would also reduce the emissions of four major pollutants by a total of 2.3846 million tons, highlighting the significant impact on carbon reduction.
The prototype of the artificial intelligence model was developed on the basis of the Sberbank Geometry platform by Sberbank specialists together with the Sakhalin Artificial Intelligence Center with the support of the Government of the Sakhalin Region.
