RUDN has summed up the results of a competition of scientific projects in the direction of "Modern Languages"
The goal of the project is to identify and systematize the ethnocultural features of communication of representatives of different cultures in the form of dominant features and communication styles. In the conditions of modern migration turbulence, the search for a solution to the problems of intercultural interaction is important for the migration attractiveness of countries.
The second winner is the project “Functional Dynamics and Representations of Languages and Cultures of Internal and External Migration in an Urban Environment”, scientific advisor is Svetlana Moskvicheva (Russia), co-director is Alain Dominique Vio (France).
The research focuses on group characteristics of migration languages. The goal of the project is to identify and describe the most characteristic signs that determine the dynamics of the languages of migration of a city. The Armenian, Azerbaijani and Tatar communities of Moscow were selected as specific migrant communities. Based on the results of the research, it is planned to predict the future of these languages in the context of modern migration processes.
Biologists from RUDN University working together with their colleagues from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Flax studied the genes that determine the fatty acid composition in flaxseed oil and identified polymorphisms in six of them. The team also found out what gene variations could extend the shelf life of flaxseed oil. This data can be used to improve the genetic selection of new flax breeds. The results were published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
A specialist in spacecraft movement control analyzed the process of placing vehicle stages, boosters, and other space debris into the so-called disposal orbit and suggested cleaning lower orbits up with a spacecraft that has modules with engine units on board. These modules will attach to space debris objects and move them away. As for the geostationary orbit, a preferable way to clean it up would be a towing spacecraft that transports space debris objects into the disposal orbit. The research was carried out in collaboration with a team from Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
