The conference “Probability Methods in Discrete Mathematics” is a regular event and this year it was dedicated to the 90th anniversary of birth of the Soviet and Russia scholar, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Academician of the Russian Cryptography Academy and a co-founder of the “Discrete Mathematics” journal Valentin F. Kolchin. The scientist has significantly influenced the advancement of mathematical research in Karelia and contributed to the establishment of the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS.
The aim of the conference is to foster the development of modern probabilistic methods in discrete mathematics. The conference featured review lectures on V. F. Kolchin's main research areas and the impact of his results on the development of the theory of random mappings and random graphs. The participants discussed the latest advancements in the theory of random graphs and hypergraphs, the theory of branching processes, probabilistic combinatorics, game theory and stochastic optimization, statistical and simulation modeling.
Financial support for the event was provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education Russia grant for establishment and promotion of the World-class Mathematics Center Steklov Mathematical Institute RAS) and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

Ligula tapeworm manipulates the physiology and behavior of the infected fish host by means of an array of proteins
Biochemists at the KarRC RAS have elucidated how a widespread parasite – ligula tapeworm – affects the physiology and behavior of cyprinid fishes, particularly bream. The scientists conducted a proteomic analysis of swabs from the parasite-host contact zone to trace their molecular-level interactions. It turns out, Ligula can use a set of proteins to not only suppress the host's immune system and regulate nutrient availability but also to reduce the fish's vigilance, making it easier prey for birds – the definitive hosts in the tapeworm's life cycle.

Geophysicists from the KarRC RAS search for historical burials in Pechenga using GPR
Employees of the Institute of Geology of the Karelian Research Centre RAS are participating in archaeological exploration on the territory of the Trifon of Pechenga Holy Trinity Male Monastery and the Church of 116 Monk Martyrs of Pechenga in the Murmansk Region. Geophysicists are conducting ground-penetrating radar surveys to locate burials and other archaeological features that will help reconstruct the area’s historical background. In August, the researchers performed a detailed GPR survey over an area of more than 7 hectares and tested a new methodology.
