To narrow the search results, you can refine the query by specifying the fields to search on. The list of fields is presented above. For example:
You can search across multiple fields at the same time:
logical operators
The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all the elements in the group:
research development
Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values in the group:
study OR development
Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:
study NOT development
Search type
When writing a query, you can specify the way in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search based on morphology, without morphology, search for a prefix, search for a phrase.
By default, the search is based on morphology.
To search without morphology, it is enough to put the "dollar" sign before the words in the phrase:
$ study $ development
To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:
study *
To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:
" research and development "
Search by synonyms
To include synonyms of a word in the search results, put a hash mark " #
" before a word or before an expression in brackets.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthesized expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one was found.
Not compatible with no-morphology, prefix, or phrase searches.
# study
grouping
Parentheses are used to group search phrases. This allows you to control the boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:
Approximate search the words
For an approximate search, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word in a phrase. For example:
bromine ~
The search will find words such as "bromine", "rum", "prom", etc.
You can optionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1, or 2. For example:
bromine ~1
The default is 2 edits.
Proximity criterion
To search by proximity, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:
" research development "~2
Expression relevance
To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the sign " ^
" at the end of an expression, and then indicate the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the given expression.
For example, in this expression, the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":
study ^4 development
By default, the level is 1. Valid values are a positive real number.
Search within an interval
To specify the interval in which the value of some field should be, you should specify the boundary values in brackets, separated by the operator TO.
A lexicographic sort will be performed.
Such a query will return results with the author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in an interval, use square brackets. Use curly braces to escape a value.
Reformation Russian education implies its global restructuring at all levels. A huge number of changes sometimes sows panic among both applicants and their parents. To avoid unpleasant situations and unnecessary worries, you need to carefully monitor the information. This is especially true before the start of the exam and the admissions campaign. What changes will take place this year?
A round table was held at the Russian State Hydrometeorological University on the topic: "Features of the admission campaign to the universities of St. Petersburg in 2011." The event was organized by the information and reference portal GlavSprav with the support of leading educational institutions of St. Petersburg.
The main task of the last round table is to discuss pressing issues and determine the “pain points” of the upcoming admission campaign, such as the transition of specialties to areas of study and the difficulties associated with this, the demographic hole, benefits for Olympiads, etc.
The discussion was attended by vice-rectors of universities for academic work and executive secretaries of the admission committees of the leading St. Petersburg universities - it is they who solve all these issues, organize the admission campaign.
The event opened with a report by the editor-in-chief of the GlavSprav. Education" Elena Zagalskaya. She reminded the audience about the results of the 2010 admission campaign:
“The transition to a two-level system “bachelor's degree - master's degree” is being completed. The specialty was preserved only in a few areas (technology, engineering, healthcare). At the same time, the budget reception has increased for them.
Despite the demographic hole, the number of applicants in St. Petersburg universities has increased, mainly due to non-resident and foreign students (the latter - about 3% of the total volume of applicants).
But the main part Russian universities due to the shortage of applicants, they were forced to take children with low USE scores. A natural question arose about the reduction of "unpopular" universities and the creation of elite ones. A single vertical of "status" universities is being created in the country, from national (Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State University) and federal, to research.
For the first time there was a set for an applied bachelor's degree - experimental training at the expense of the state budget, the synthesis of higher and secondary vocational education.
For the first time, a restriction on the submission of documents has been introduced (“5 universities in 3 directions”). This was supposed to eliminate the so-called. "educational tourists" who submitted an unlimited number of copies of documents to all universities in a row. The number of university competitions has been reduced, the status of the winners is in question, because The level of the Olympiad is announced only at the end of spring.”
With a report on round table Academic Secretary of the Council for the Coordination of Admissions to St. Petersburg Universities delivered a speech Nikolai Alexandrovich Veshev:
“Despite the decrease in the number of those Olympiads that are included in the state list and provide benefits for admission, the number of participants is increasing. Last year, the number of applications from winners and prize-winners of Olympiads in St. Petersburg universities increased from 13,000 to 15,000.
In Petersburg GPA according to the results of the first session, those enrolled in the USE and participants in the Olympiads are 4.2 and 4.22, respectively. At the same time, Olympiad students have fewer academic debts than other students.
Until 2009, increased check digits admission to universities, in 2010 a slight decrease is noticeable, but nevertheless, the numbers remain quite high.
The number of applications from nonresident students in St. Petersburg is steadily increasing: 52% of applicants in 2009, and 54% in 2010.
There are changes in the order of admission. There is no official order yet, but Minister of Education Fursenko has repeatedly announced that the winners and prize-winners of school Olympiads will be able to apply for preferential admission to only one university, and in it - to one direction.
So far, this is the biggest expected change.”
At the round table GlavSprav discussed in detail the requirements of the admission campaign in 2011 universities of various directions.
Representatives of technical, humanitarian, medical and creative universities spoke.
Andrey Vadimovich Moskvin, First Vice-Rector of the St. Petersburg State Chemical Pharmaceutical Academy:
“A pharmaceutical cluster is being created in the country, which includes the largest companies. Our academy is one of its components in terms of training specialists for this cluster. The industry development program has been adopted at the state level, and we are actively working to implement it.
The academy has the same problems that everyone else has, but some are avoided. For example, we do not suffer from a demographic "pit" - the competition for us is always high. We try to maintain the quality of reception on the very high level: minimum score for pharmacy was 219 points last year.
The main problem that I would like to note is the level of preparation of St. Petersburg applicants. It is often lower than that of nonresident students, so more than 70% of students are visitors. However, we have no problems with dormitories and resettlement.”
Gennady Ivanovich Boltunov, executive Secretary admission committee Petersburg state university information technologies, mechanics and optics:
“Compared to last year, there are no special, fundamental changes in admission. It will still be difficult and interesting for both applicants and technical universities to compete with each other.
With the transition to directions and profiles, it became unclear to applicants where they are going - each university must carefully prescribe this on websites, explain it in the selection committees.
If we talk about how the competition is going - by profiles or by areas of study, it can be noted that each university establishes this for itself and indicates everything in the order of admission.
ITMO accepts in areas of study and faculties.”
Vladimir Borisovich Ivanov, executive secretary of the admission committee of the Russian State Hydrometeorological University:
“We expect changes from the Ministry of Education and Science in the admission procedure and in the list entrance examinations. Many will agree that it is no longer advisable to make such changes now, and it is better to leave them until 2012. We should start the admission campaign in the near future, but official documents and government decrees are not yet ready. Each university solves these problems independently.
Now universities, in fact, independently set the passing score, but the time is not far off when this will begin to be controlled from above. What if students with less than 50 points cannot enter universities? We have an average score of 52, and many would not be able to enter, because this is practically the threshold.
In some universities, the competition will be held according to profiles, in some - according to faculties. In our university, the competition is held in the areas.
Evgeny Alexandrovich Filippov, Executive Secretary of the Admission Committee of the Russian State Pedagogical University them. A.I. Herzen:
“Compared to previous years, in 2011 there are no global changes. For us, the transition to a two-level system is not new; we have been implementing this technique for 16 years.
It is essential for our university that in connection with the transition to third-generation standards, instead of a number of areas, we will be implementing one large area (pedagogical) with profiles in 22 faculties.
At the university, the competition is held by faculties, and, in fact, by profiles. The number of applicants continues to decline, so in the struggle for them educational establishments increasingly using different means of communication, social networks, various media - in a word, each has found its niche in the information space.
Andrey Evgenievich Khrenov, executive secretary of the admission committee of the St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts:
“Speaking about the peculiarities of admission to creative universities, it should be noted that there is a need to combine the results of professional creative selection with USE results. This combination can become a barrier for the most talented in the competitive selection. This is a common problem for all creative universities.
Recently, an open letter from leading cultural figures to the Minister of Education was published protesting this. If we are talking about the Bologna process, then it is important to know that in Europe it has always been advisory in nature, flexible and mobile, while in our country it immediately took the form of a rigid framework.”
Tatyana Nikolaevna Rozova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the St. Petersburg humanitarian university trade unions:
“When we apply for creative specialties, we first of all pay attention to a creative test. We take gifted students. Unified State Examination - of course, is taken into account, but the creative test is extremely important. It is very difficult to work due to the fact that there are many unapproved standards. Perhaps they will be legalized only by the beginning of the admission campaign, which will create certain problems. Applicants and parents used to be interested in what specialization we will give them? Right now, we cannot yet answer a similar question regarding the profiles they will apply for. With the approval of many standards, the Ministry of Education and Science was clearly delayed.”
Sergei Yurievich Mikadze, executive secretary of the admission committee of St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance:
“If we talk about the demographic hole, then our university does not feel it. Last year, we had about 7,500 applicants, and more applications than we could accept - 17,000. If you look at the numbers of admission and the number of applications across the country, we can conclude that the hole is somewhat far-fetched.
A lot depends on the university and on the work of the selection committee, its competent policy to attract applicants. From our experience of working with the Ministry of Education and Science, I can say that there are often flaws in the work of the ministry, and universities cover them up with themselves. However, this can also be done well. For example, when a list of entrance examinations or any other unapproved projects appears, we post them, but indicate that they are not yet official and may change. Thus, the student is already oriented. Information can be found, it must be done for the sake of future students and for yourself.”
Nikolay Vladimirovich Lysenko, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI":
“Universities are to blame for all the troubles, but one must understand that they are hostages of the situation. However, we can still manage.
In previous speeches, I heard notes of nostalgia for the old system. Are we against level training, colleagues? In modern conditions and the pace of life, a specialist is less suited for effective training frames. In a rapidly changing economy, I am in favor of a two-tier system. There is no need to be afraid to tell applicants which profile they will fall into.
Enormous work has been done in all universities, we have been doing this for many years. After all, new educational standard gives much more freedom of choice, you need to understand and explain this. In such a situation, it is necessary to work very actively with both parents and applicants in the regions.
Petersburg in many areas can provide a better education than anywhere else. We must provide both hostels and scholarships, and organize targeted admissions. Our university has always fought for a motivated student. This is facilitated by target and admission, and the Olympics - all this contributes successful learning. First, the bachelor gets the position of engineer, but to move on, you need to continue your education in the magistracy. We are actively working on continuing education. In this regard, it makes sense to give students the opportunity to decide on a profile in the second year, when they already have an idea about the profession.”
