Last week the Tomsk State Pedagogical University held the XI International Conference "Quantum Field Theory and Gravitation" in course of which authoritative scientists from more than 20 countries of the world discussed modern achievements in the theory of gauge fields, supersymmetric quantum field theory, string theory, higher-spin field theory, gravity and cosmology.

On 9 August, a conference on modified theories of gravity was held at the University of Nagoya. At the conference, a well-known expert in this field, professor of the TSPU Sergey Dmitrievich Odintsov, made a speech from TSPU via video call.

The conference is dedicated to the sixtieth anniversary of the co-author of Professor Odintsov, honorary professor of the TSPU Shinichi Nojiri, who is included in the list of the

In the interview to Tomsk television company, one of the key scientists of the Tomsk State Pedagogical University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergei Dmitrievich Odintsov have answered the questions about the recent international conference «Quantum field theory and gravitation» held in the TSPU as well about theoretical discoveries in physics and death of the Universe.

Last week, TSPU hosted a number of important scientific events. TSPU professor, theoretical physicist Sergei Odintsov, in collaboration with a colleague from Greece, has created a model showing the possible death of the universe. Scientists have shown that the singularity of a dynamical system is not always identical with a physical one. "We found out that singularity can not arise, and then the universe can evolve for an infinitely long time. But for this, it must be described by alternative gravity" Odintsov said. A singularity is understood as the state of the universe, when all the parameters describing it, in particular, curvature, gravitational field intensity and energy, are equal to infinity. Calculations show that the death of the observed world can occur in 30-40 billion years.

In addition, about one hundred scientists from 20 countries of the world who arrived at the TSPU to participate in the XI International Conference "Quantum Field Theory and Gravitation" shared their discoveries in the field of theoretical physics.

The11th International Conference "Quantum Field Theory and Gravitation" was held at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University. The scientific event was organized by the Center for Theoretical Physics of the TSPU were scientists from around the world discuss the fundamental problems of theoretical physics within the scope of this traditional conference.

The conference is devoted to the modern achievements in the gauge field theory, supersymmetric quantum field theory, string theory, higher spin field theory, gravitation and cosmology, the theory of physical processes in external fields.

The conference gathered specialists from Moscow, Dubna, Protvino, Kazan, Chernogolovka, Tomsk. Foreign participants came from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Poland, the United States, Japan and other countries.

Scientific communication takes place in the library of TSPU (66 Herzen Street). The international conference will end on August 4, 2018.

A student of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports Valeria Anisimova time and successfully represents our university and the city at sports competition of different levels in sambo. And she did it again on the summer sports day of the youth of Russia, held in the city of Penza. In the 64 kg weight category, Valeria won a gold award.

"In general, I am pleased with the result, I really wanted to come home like a champion, I'm glad how everything turned out. Now I am planning to rest, I think I deserve a short vacation" - said Valeria Anisimova.

"The competitions were very hard for us, the girls are simply emotionally squeezed out after a hard season. I want to make adjustments for further training on arrival, the girls should have a good rest, and from the middle of August we will start preparing for the forthcoming autumn world championships ", said Denis Vyshegorodtsev, the coach.

 Internship is an integral part of the educational process at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University. Each faculty organizes Internships for students, taking into account the training course that students chose. For instance, third-year students of the faculty of Biology and Chemistry (FBC) revive theoretical knowledge acquired during the last academic year by working at agrobiological TSPU station and practicing in plant physiology at the faculty building and on the territory of agrobiological station. During the internship on the basics of agriculture, which was organized in the department of vegetable cultures of agrobiological station, third-year students of FBC mastered the technology of cultivation of vegetable and melon crops on open and closed ground. Students also tplanted tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cabbages, carrots, beets, celeries, zucchini, pumpkins, beans and other crops.

REFERENCE: The history of Agrobiostation began in 1947, when Professor G.N. Blinkov organized a fruit and berry garden with an area of 0.75 hectares at the estate of the institute. In the garden, vegetables and potatoes were grown, and later greenhouses were built there. The Agrobiological Station has become a base for internship in plant physiology, teaching methods of biology, the basics of agriculture. Agrobiological station became a platform for research work of employees and students of biological departments. Currently, the station is a place for conducting internship in plant physiology, genetics, the biological basics of agriculture, botany, floriculture, floristics.

 Traditionally, during the summer holidays, students of the Tomsk State pedagogical University participate in pedagogical internship based on summer camps of Tomsk and other cities of Russia. The future teachers get an opportunity to try themselves as camp counselors after passing the «Counselor school» of TSPU and participating in special training in «Voshod» camp. Some of our students prefer to develop their teaching skills in Tomsk region and others travel to Krasnoyarsk or Krasnodar regions.

Initially the «Summer internship» was meant only for the future social teachers and psychologists but after introduction of Bachelor training it became obligatory for all students who are undergoing training in «Pedagogical education» and «Psychology and pedagogical education». The main goal of internship is to form professional trades: ability to cooperate with children, to organize their collaboration, support their activity, initiative and independence, to develop their creative abilities. The main feature of TSPU internship is that students immerse in the process by working as counselors in a summer camp. For many years, our camp-partners provide us with grounds for this internship: «Zdorovie», «Voskhod», «Cosmonaut» sanatorium, «Prometheus» sanatorium and others), the camps of the Kemerovo Region, the Krasnodar Territory, and the famous «Orlyonok» camp. In total more than 40 out-of-town and school camps participate in the internship.

The doors of the admission office of the Tomsk State Pedagogical University are open to everyone from 9.00 to 17.00 on weekdays, and also on Saturday from 9.00 to 13.00. Specialists of the university are ready to answer all questions, to help in choosing the faculty, the direction and profile of the training, to consult on the issues of filling out applications to the budget paid basis education, to tell about the target places, and also about the master study of the TSPU.

Students of TSPU are waiting for you at the interactive sites located in the halls of the building and on the street territory of the university. They will share details about the directions of student activity, extramural practices, wide opportunities for the realization of their talents within the walls of the best pedagogical university of the country.

On our website you will find all the information you need to enter our university. If you have any questions, ask them TSPU representatives on-line: in private messages and conversations of the official community in the university group on the VK social network.

We are waiting for you at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University!

The international sambo tournament of “A” category for prizes of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held in Astana. Valeria Anisimova the student of the faculty of physical culture and sport of TSPU had successfully defended honor of Tomsk and our university at the competitions. At the tournament, which brought together about 250 athletes from 16 countries, Valeria won a gold medal.

"I am pleased with the performance of the girls, the tournament is very demanding, serious and prestigious that's why almost all the strongest athletes arrived in Astana. I am very happy for Valeria, finally she managed to rise to the highest step of the pedestal. From the first meetings it became clear that she aimed for victory, but before the final meeting, we all felt tension in the air. Her final rival, Russian Aiko Ri - very uncomfortable for Lera, in Tomsk at the Russian championship among the students Lera got injured fighting with her, but this time she won. Right after the tournament, the girls will go to Kislovodsk, where they will continue to prepare for the next rounds as part of the Russian national team" said the coach, Denis Vyshegorodtsev.

With the coming of the new academic year, the staff of the Biology and Chemistry Faculty of the TSPU will organize the tenth All-Russian international school of young scientists "Swamps and the Biosphere". This year the scientific event will be dedicated to the 120th anniversary of S. S. Dragunov (1898-1994) the leading specialist in peat chemistry and will be held in the city of Tver.

Traditionally the professor of the TSPU, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Lidia Ivanovna Inisheva will become the head of the school. She told us about what to expect from the tenth school and why the event is not losing its relevance from year to year.

Lydia Ivanovna, for what purpose has the school of "Swamps and the Biosphere" been organized for tenth time? Who will participate in the jubilee series of scientific events?

If we take into account that Siberian region takes the first place in the world in number of peat and marsh areas, the swamp theme, of course, is very important for Russia: large areas are occupied, almost every fifth hectare is a marsh. Unfortunately, there is no special faculty of peatology, apparently, it will be created in the future, and there are a lot of problems now. They all require a solution, because the marsh is an ecosystem that lives, develops, captures new territories, unique animals and plants are situated here. Peat is used in the production of medicines, for construction and for agriculture, in general, it is incredibly widespread. Young people, of course, are less immersed in this subject and in order to attract young specialists to this industry, we are conducting schools "Swamps and the Biosphere". This year will be the tenth school, the first eight we held in Tomsk, the ninth was held in Vladimir, and the tenth anniversary school will be organized in Tver. We want to transfer our knowledge to more people.

How is the school conducted?

The school traditionally consists of two parts: the first - lectures or lecture symposium, and the second - a symposium of participants. At the school the reports of the speakers are analyzed: the participants share their impressions and knowledge, especially the lecturers are representatives from the Moscow State University, Kira Ivanovna Kobak (St. Petersburg), who survived the blockade; For a long time she has been teaching in Poland, Olga Leopoldovna Lis, who travelled West Siberian marshes far and wide and many others.

We also have a tradition of raising the flag and awarding prizes for the best report of young scientists, we take everyone on an excursion to the swamp or peat enterprise, and we usually end up with a bonfire and the performance of the school's hymn.

Someone from the TSPU students will represent the university at the school?

Six reports from TSPU are presented and one of them is the work of the young, budding student of DA. Denisenko.

It is planning to share international experience at the school?

Yes, we are actively working with colleagues from Poland: joint articles for various journals, joint analyzes. But in Tver, as it is the central part of Russia, a greater flow of foreign scientists from Germany, Sweden and Finland is expected.

The peculiarity of this school of young scientists is that simultaneously with it there will be an adult conference of peatologists - this is a unique scientific event, since such an event is happening for the first time in 15 years. Young people will be able to listen to reports at an adult conference, present their own work are a youth conference, and even get prizes!

Are there such schools in other countries?

There is an international peat society, whose representatives previously only held conferences, but literally about 5-7 years ago I saw information in their magazine “International Peat Society” about how individual products from peat are demonstrated by schoolchildren. I think that the organization of such schools on peat is a priority of Russia, and in particular of Siberia, since the first school was organized in our Tomsk State Pedagogical University.

Director of the Institute of Psychology and Pedagogy of TSPU L.G. Smyshlyaeva acted as speaker on two communication platforms of the All-Russian Youth Educational Forum "Territory of Meanings on the Klyazma". The "Education of the Future" forum gathered about a thousand of school teachers and university professors, chairmen, coordinators, curators and leaders of the Russian Movement of School Students (RMSS), representatives of student media and bloggers.

Elena Ulyanova, President of the Institute for Acceleration of Economic Development (Rybakov Foundation) and Larisa Smyshlyaeva, organized a "conversation on an equal footing" with young Russian teachers to discuss the problems and pressing challenges of developing inclusive education in Russia.. Rybakov Foundation initiated the creation of the Russian digital platform "Equality of Opportunity", where the best Russian experience of inclusive education will be demonstrated. Presenting the university community of our city, Tomsk State Pedagogical University will become an active participant in the process of creating a source of technologies for inclusive education.

In addition, Larisa Germanovna had held a workshop for the forum’s participants "Professional development of the teacher: meanings and scenarios". On the platform, the professional development of a modern teacher was discussed.

During the shift, the participants merged into profile communities, depending on the direction they represent: teachers of general education; chairmen, curators and coordinators of the RMSS; students of pedagogical specialties of universities and representatives of media communities. In the groups, they learned to determine trends for the design of personal and team tracking of tactical and strategic changes, discussed global trends in the field of education, set goals for the coming year, both personal and professional. Each team chose a mentor from among the organizers, moderators, experts or participants to work together on the implementation of the plan.

The personal development program also included interdisciplinary workshops, networking, lectures and discussion clubs.

The partner of the event was the public-state children's and youth organization "Russian movement of schoolchildren".

The guests of the educational platform in 2018 also became Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Andrei Fursenko; Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilyeva; First Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Grigory Trubnikov; Chairman of the Committee of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation for Science, Education and Culture Zinaida Dragunkina; Hero of Russia, pilot-cosmonaut, Chairman of the RMSS Sergei Ryazansky; Rector of the Higher School of Economics Yaroslav Kuzminov; the head of the educational program of the Higher School of Economics, the academic head of the programs "Pedagogical Education" and "Teacher for Russia" Oleg Fedorov; director of the Institute of Education Isak Frumin.

At the closing of the shift, Deputy Director for Information Policy and Projects of the Russian Children and Youth Center, Dmitry Pokrovsky and Program Director of the "Territory of Meanings on Klyazma" Matvey Navdaev addressed the participants and thanked the young teachers for their interest and desire to grow and develop.

Territory of meanings on Klyazma" for the fourth time is held in the Vladimir region. This year there are six shifts, two of which have already taken place. The next profile site "Digital World" starts on July 13. The forum is organized by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs.

This year, together with speakers Elena Ulyanova, President of the Institute for Accelerating Economic Development (Rybakov Foundation) Foundation, and Larisa Smyshlyaeva, Director of the Institute of Psychology and Pedagogy of Tomsk State Pedagogical University, participants discussed the features of inclusive education in our country.
