This document provides an overview of a study assessing regional innovation potential in Russia. It begins with stating the object, hypothesis and purpose of the study, which is to identify regions with the highest innovation potential to most effectively support innovation activities. The document then outlines the structure of the study, including theoretical background on concepts like regional innovation systems and diffusion of innovation. It presents results on Russia's national innovation system performance and maps regional differences in innovation potential, innovativeness, and priority clusters. The conclusion is that Russia's innovation space can be described by a core-periphery model, with negative trends since the Soviet collapse not yet overcome.
Zemtsov et al. Determinants of Russian regional innovation output Stepan Zemtsov
Spending on innovation increased annually in the 2000s in Russia’s regions, but innovation productivity varies greatly between regions. In the current climate of sanctions between Russia and Western countries and limitations on international technology transfer, there is a growing need to analyse the factors influencing regional innovation.
Previous empirical studies have found that the key factor of the growth of regional innovation is greater spending on research and development (R&D), thus confirming the main assumptions of a knowledge production function model.
Our research show that the quality of human capital, as measured by the number of economically active urban citizens with a higher education (the so-called creative class) has the greatest influence on the number of potentially commercializable patents in regions of Russia. Other significant factors were spending on acquisition of equipment, which indicates a high rate of wear and tear of Russian machinery, and spending on basic research, which creates the foundation for developing new technologies.
Russia’s innovation system has a ‘centre-periphery’ structure that favours the migration of highly qualified researchers to leading regions; proximity to such regions negatively influences innovation levels of the sending regions. However, at the same time, we see significantly fewer limitations on knowledge spillovers in the form of patents and – in this case – proximity to the ‘centres’ is a positive factor.

A research in progress on smart cities globally. We look at cases in China, Japan, Malaysia, United States and Spain within Europe. We are also working on an ecosystem of people interested in smart city development and policies we invite you to join at https://plus.google.com/communities/108050236028662715756?partnerid=ogpy0
Smart Cities greatly affects Urban Planning, Architecture and Art decisions. The reverse is true as well. The right Urban Planning, Architecture and Art can become great magnets to attract Smart People. One cannot have a Smart City w/o all those key ingredients.
The concept of knowledge-based urban development has first come to the urban planning and development agenda during the very last years of the 20th century as a promising paradigm to support the transformation process of cities into knowledge cities and their societies into knowledge societies

On the basis of internationally comparable methods (Frey, Osborne, 2017; Manyika et al, 2017), it was estimated that about 44% of the workers in Russia can be replaced, which is lower than in most developed countries. In the regions, specializing in the manufacturing industry, this value is higher, the least values are in the least developed regions. Some people will be not ready for life-long learning, competition with robots, and accordingly there is a possibility of their social exclusion in the future.

Zemtsov S. Inclusive (sustainable) growth and regional resilience in RussiaStepan Zemtsov
The article presents a methodology for inclusive growth assessment in the Russian regions by building an appropriate comprehensive index. We sought to understand how years of economic growth, based on high energy prices, have reduced inequality, poverty and environmental pressures in the regions, and what trends have emerged in recent years. The article shows that a number of the most developed regions have significantly improved their performance, e.g. St. Petersburg, Moscow region, the Republic of Tatarstan, Sverdlovsk, Voronezh and Tyumen regions, especially in the field of longevity, income, reducing the environmental burden. But in the period from 2012 to 2015, the value of the inclusive growth index in Russia fell to the level of 2007, and its differentiation between regions has increased dramatically. Accordingly, the results of a decade work to improve the sustainability and equity of regional development have been partially nullified. In 2016, the index recovered to the level of 2011. For policy recommendations, it is important that the regions, where economic growth was accompanied by positive externalities in social and environmental sectors, were more resilient to external shocks. The developed index makes it possible to assess the dynamics and differentiation of socio-economic development of regions in terms of sustainability and inclusiveness.

Национальный доклад о развитии высокотехнологичного бизнеса в регионах России впервые подготовлен РАНХиГС и АИРР, совместно с Группой «Интерфакс». Доклад основан на результатах рейтинга «Инновационный бизнес в регионах России» , презентованном на Гайдаровском Форуме 2017. Тогда же разрабатываемая система мониторинга поддержана главами регионов АИРР.
Высокотехнологичный сектор вносит значимый вклад в российскую экономику (около 22,3% ВВП, 36,6% числа работников, около 15% в сборе налогов на прибыль), играет важнейшую роль в импортозамещении и обеспечении национальной безопасности страны. В современных условиях низких темпов роста национальной экономики и с учетом ограничений на импорт технологий и оборудования поддержка высокотехнологичного бизнеса в регионах России становится одной из наиболее актуальных задач.
Глобальная цель Доклада – определить потенциальные точки несырьевого роста российской экономики на основе анализа региональной структуры и основных тенденций развития высокотехнологичного бизнеса за 2010 -2016 гг.
Предлагаемая в Докладе система показателей учитывает условия для развития высокотехнологичного бизнеса и его вклад в региональное развитие. В качестве условий учитываются ресурсы капитала, труда, научный потенциал, институциональная среда, инфраструктурная обеспеченность и объем госзакупок в регионах. Дана оценка вклада в валовый региональный продукт (ВРП), экспорт, создание рабочих мест, формирование бюджета и выращивание нового бизнеса.
Разработанная система мониторинга дает возможность отслеживать ежегодную динамику развития высокотехнологичного сектора в России и отдельных регионах, что важно для принятия взвешенных политических решений. Сравнение со среднерегиональными значениями позволяет выявить сильные и слабые стороны развития каждого региона.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

multinational families (%), percentage of Internet-users (%), and mobile
phones per capita.
The second factor (Index of innovation potential):
SESP:
• economic-geographical position (points)
TSES:
• percentage of residents in cities with population more than 200 thousand
people (%)
• percentage of people with a higher education in the population (%)
RIS:

• percentage of employees in R & D sector in total employment (%)
• number of registered patents per 1000 employees
• percentage of organizations with a website (%)
24. III.3. Bass model (Bass, 1969)
Bass considered a population of Nmax
individuals who are both innovators
(those with a constant propensity to
purchase, a) and imitators (those whose
propensity to purchase is influenced by the
amount of previous adopters, b) in socalled mixed-influence model The model
can be rewritten from original differential
form in terms of its discrete analogue
N(t+1) – N(t) = a*Nmax + (b*Nmax – a) *N(t) – b*N(t)2 =
A1 + A2*N(t) + A3* N(t)2 + e(t)
where a = A1/Nmax, b = – A3* Nmax, Nmax = (–A2±√(A22 –4*A1*A3))/2*A3)
28. IV.1. Regional innovation clusters in ‘Environmental
management’
130 organizations: two universities – forecasting centres and 12 universities – members of the
network, interacting with outside universities (12 organizations), research organizations (42) and entities (62)
The index of competence ( I KMP )
I KMP ( I C ( I NT I VTZ ))
– subindex of the number of university competencies, I NT – subindex of new technologies,
where I C
IVTZ – subindex of transfer centres
The index of interaction( IVZ )
I VZ I SV I TR I SR ,
where I SV – subindex of the number of associated organization (or interactions), I TR – Shannon
index of the share of connections between different cities, I SR – Shannon index of the share of
organizations of different stages of the innovation cycle.
29. IV.2. Regional and interregional innovation
clusters in ‘Environmental management’
30. V. Conclusion
• Russian innovation space can be described by core-periphery model:
the largest cities are the centres for generation and diffusion of innovation
on the northern and southern agrarian peripheries.
• After the collapse of the Soviet Union the innovation space was divided
into a number of isolated and poorly connected centres,
concentration increased, variety of functions declined, and "lifeless"
periphery was formed. These negative processes have not been overcome,
despite the economic achievements of the 2000s.
• Hierarchical model of diffusion from the main centres to secondary
prevails in Russia. Factor of geographical location (borderlands and
seaside location) also play a crucial role. At the initial stage, many regions
have similar level of saturation (parameter a), but further absorption
stops in the northern regions due to the low population density, and in the
southern regions because of agricultural specialization and high
institutional barriers.
• High correlation between the territorial structure of urban settlements,
innovation potential of cities and new innovation centres was identified.
The territorial structure and the potential of the clusters indicate the
possible direction of the shift of innovative activity.
