Soil pollution with salts of heavy metals, radionuclides, pesticides and other pollutants. Intensive farming leads to deep degradation of agricultural soils: changes in granulometric composition and hydrological properties, against the background of negative climate change. Solution - the application of pyrrolidinium polymers binds salts of heavy metals and radionuclides, which reduces up to 3-5 times the transfer to the above-ground part of plants and agricultural products. Properties of polymers are provided by unique technology of synthesis and developed method of application.
Emergency medical care is an integral part of any country's health care system, providing care in extreme situations. Due to the need to provide high speed and high volume of expensive help, the economic costs of the emergency medical service have always been quite high. For this reason, the questions of optimizing this service, how in terms of resource saving, directly to field teams (and as a result, and increasing the availability of assistance in cases, when it is vitally important), and their ongoing advisory support are extremely important. It should be noted that although multidisciplinary distance counselling services have been successfully realized in some large megalopolises of the Russian Federation, such as Moscow, Kazan, Tver a long time ago (for example, it has been operating in Moscow since 1938), experience of its successful organization in large regions, heterogeneous in their territorial, climatic, economic-infrastructural and demographic characteristics are still unknown. Meanwhile, a big part of the population in need of qualified, emergency and urgent care lives in them, which determines the importance of our project. In the Moscow region, we realized a project to set up a multi-disciplinary remote counselling service, in the situation of a region that is large in its territory, heterogeneous in its sub-regions in the level of infrastructural and general economic development and population density. It was based on the following factors: 1. Relative autonomy (independence from a single dispatch service); 2. Organization of a network of regional centers of counselling, connected according to the hierarchical principle into a single structure; 3. Creating and refining mechanisms to enable quickly and flexible adaptation to peak daily and seasonal activity; 4. A separate personnel system; 5. Developing and implementing a lean human resources management system, which made it possible to create and save the most exclusive team of professionals in the conditions of general staff deficit of medical specialists. The main problems, which have mostly been successfully resolved with the realization of our project: I. Reducing the number of calls to the ambulance service, which objectively do not need a team visit and, as a result, reducing the load on the brigades; II. Counselling support for people who call the ambulance service (or their family members) on self-help before the arrival of the ambulance team; III. Consultative support of ambulance teams by ‘narrow’ specialists during service of profile calls by general-purpose teams during the whole duration of the call;
The project aims to create outdoor simulators that can be used by people with various physical disabilities, including people with disabilities. The main idea is to give everyone the opportunity to play sports, regardless of physical limitations. The simulators are designed in such a way that both people with and without disabilities can practice on them at the same time. It promotes social integration. Outdoor inclusive simulators will be made of durable materials that are resistant to weather conditions and vandalism. This guarantees the durability and safety of the equipment in all conditions.
The proposal seeks to improve data management using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The focus is on evaluating solutions that increase information systems' interoperability, addressing information fragmentation in the various management systems. Fragmentation is a challenge faced by managers, impacting decision-making and administrative processes. The project aims to understand how a prototype's implementation influences an organization's informational dynamics. An area will be identified for testing the use of AI to assist workers in the administrative routine. The creation of intelligent agents aims to facilitate the analysis of non-sensitive data, optimize time, minimize errors, and achieve problem-solving capacity based on learning from previous actions.
Medical malpractice is an increasing public health concern among healthcare providers worldwide. Some specific examples include the following: more than 30% of false-negative diagnostic result, the decreasing number of qualified professionals, low efficiency of procedures that require preliminary medical testing (for example, in vitro fertilization efficiency in Russia is approximately 35% after the first try and 40% after the second try). Another reason is growing need to reduce increasing healthcare costs (e.g. increased buy/use of ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic) Z-med platform is software for enhancing the accuracy of the diagnosis based on the results of computed tomography, fluorography, mammography, spinal MRI, histology, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) through AI-based analyzing, processing and markup of medical data, including pathology image segmentation and preparing of a formalized description of the particular study. Multi-model platform allows to connect shortly any model for DICOM (technical standard for the digital storage and transmission of medical images and related information) Additionally, the platform aids in predicting the success of medical procedure. For example, through deep data analysis from age, history of previous IVF cycles, endometrial condition, and other factors, the platform automatically determines parameters (embryo structure, development, and health) and generates more accurate prognosis for the likelihood of successful implantation, increasing the chances of a successful IVF procedure completion.
Problem: Building a project team takes around 2 months, which adds approximately 33% to the project timeline. The process of searching for and evaluating candidates is done manually, leading to inefficiencies. Scoring of resumes is often subjective, and only 10-20% of interviews result in a successful match, depending on the role and requirements. Additionally, significant time is wasted on back-and-forth communication between the client and the staffing agency. Solution: Project team formation is reduced to 2 weeks, with individual specialists being onboarded in just 48 hours. The platform uses objective resume scoring (UCB, LASSO) and vector-based candidate search (FAISS), resulting in a 40% increase in successful interviews. No more back-and-forth with account managers — an AI assistant handles all details, schedules interviews, prepares interview plans, and analyzes candidate responses.
Soil is the foundation of life on Earth. Climate change, food availability, water quality and renewability, human health and well-being, peace and prosperity - soil is the foundation of all this. Soil fertility is its ability to provide plants with nutrients, water and air. It depends on: organic matter ( it improves structure, retains moisture, nourishes microorganisms), chemical matter (macro- and micronutrients), living organisms (microorganisms decompose organic matter, fix nitrogen), and physical properties (structure, moisture, acidity). However, soils are rapidly degrading: 100 million hectares lose fertility every year. At this rate, the Earth's fertile soil layer will be sufficient 80-100 harvests. This threatens food security and the climate. Causes are intensive agriculture, excessive use of chemicals and crop rotation. Consequences are climate change, loss of organic carbon in soils increases the greenhouse effect, reduced crop yields, degraded soils are less fertile, resulting in lower yields. And after all, there is only one solution - adopting sustainable agricultural practices to store carbon in the soil, that is an integral part of combating global warming and preserving our planet. It works with optimising the carbon to nitrogen ratio. For soil biota to develop, an optimal carbon to nitrogen ratio of 25 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen must be maintained. Apply agronomic practices that favour carbon storage. It is necessary to use agronomic practices that increase the content of organic carbon in the soil. Biona offers an innovative approach to solving the problem of soil degradation, which simultaneously contributes to carbon storage and the fight against global warming. The basis of this approach is the return of organic matter to the soil, which allows to effectively manage the process of carbon accumulation and increase land fertility. The technology is based on the product ‘Effect Bio SC’, which includes Bacillus subtilis spores, Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma lignorum spores, as well as their metabolites (enzymes, phytohormones and biologically active substances), stabiliser, microbial growth accelerator. Treatment of plant residues with this product and their subsequent incorporation into the soil leads to the following results: 1. Increase in the content of organic matter and carbon in the soil. 2. Suppression of pathogens and improvement of soil microflora. 3. Improvement of soil structure and stimulation of soil formation. 4. Return of nutrients to the soil. 5. Preventing soil degradation. Thus, not only our technology does increase yields, but also helps to preserve soil fertility and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Benefits are increased yields (by reducing the need for chemicals), environmental conservation (the technology helps to restore soil biodiversity and reduce pollution).

While coffee is one of the most popularly consumed beverages on the planet - consumers often do not realize that coffee-related waste has a severe impact on both the earth and its atmosphere. On a global scale, more than 9 billion kilograms of coffee are consumed annually, resulting in 99% of the spent coffee grounds being treated as waste. The bulk of this waste is sent to landfills, where it decomposes and releases methane—a greenhouse gas that is 86 times more harmful to the environment than CO2. The environmental repercussions of decomposing 1 ton of coffee waste each year are equivalent to the emissions produced by 10 million cars. The main agricultural and industrial residues from coffee production include spent coffee grounds (SCG), coffee silver skin (CS), coffee pulp (CP), and coffee husk (CH). The coffee processing industry generates substantial agricultural waste, constituting 30 to 50 percent of the total coffee weight produced. This agricultural waste occupies significant land space, decaying over several months and contaminating the area until it is eventually incinerated by farmers, causing further environmental harm. Additionally, industrial residues and by-products from roasting and preparation processes constitute major urban waste challenges. We utilize sustainable industrial biotechnology to convert coffee waste in Africa into all-natural ingredients for personal care, food, and beverages. Our inaugural offerings include an award-winning, eco-friendly, active, and multifunctional coffee oil, flour, and fiber, all derived from recycled coffee grounds. At COFFEE RESURRECT, we prevent these materials from ending up in landfills through collecting this optimal raw material from our industry partners and small-scale coffee growers. We then convert them into flour, fiber, and oil using a proprietary, environmentally friendly process. This innovation recycles and then upcycle what was previously regarded as waste into nutrient-dense food ingredients, versatile personal care and cosmetic ingredients. In contrast, most products on the market are obtained from green or roasted beans, which end the coffee lifecycle and create significant waste each year. For every ton of spent coffee ground upcycled, we avert the emissions of 340m3 of methane into the atmosphere. As a result, we've become a significant player in the circular economy, using coffee by-products to promote a more sustainable future for all.
