			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The total authorized capital of Russian banks is increasing. The situation is still influenced by the giants of the banking sector. However, even the Russian monster is far from the requirements of international standard.</p>
<p>As of April 1, the total registered share capital of credit institutions amounted to 1 trillion 283.533 billion rubles, according to the report of the Bank of Russia. For the three months to Russian banks managed to increase the authorized capital to 69.19 billion rubles. Earlier this year, up from 1 trillion 214.343 billion<br />
<span id="more-442"></span><br />
Dynamics of the capital adequacy ratio of domestic credit institutions in the current year compared to the previous one, speaks of the decline of this most sufficiency, despite the increase in registered capital, experts say. &#8220;When we talk about the adequacy of the level of the share capital of the banking system, we sometimes forget that the sector includes more than the big players,&#8221; &#8211; said the expert IFC &#8220;Solid&#8221; Nikita Ryazanov.</p>
<p> Small banks and banks middling becoming harder to find the money to continue. Recall that in January of this year have raised the level of capitalization for banks by half &#8211; from 90 million rubles to 180 million rubles. Then the market had to leave about 20 credit institutions. However, before the banks can not wait another blow: the Ministry of Finance is discussing an initiative to increase the capitalization of Russian banks to 1 billion &#8211; the amount of fabulous and unattainable for the banks, not included in the first hundred. Learn more about <a href="http://shrewsbury.trud.co.uk/">shrewsbury jobs</a>!<br />
How many banks<br />
As of April 1, 1110 Russian works of credit institutions (in two banks less than at the beginning of 2012), including 1045 banks (minus six by the beginning of the year) and 65 non-bank credit institutions (their number has increased by 4 since the beginning of the year).</p>
<p> According to experts, in the domestic banking system, there is a certain imbalance &#8211; a major problem with the banks capital adequacy is not, and so far the lion&#8217;s share of &#8220;giants&#8221; meets the requirements of regulators, but one-eighth of the number of small bank on the verge of a foul.</p>
<p> However, even the largest credit institutions have much to ponder. At the global level and the largest Russian banks at a disadvantage. For example, in the first quarter of this year, S &#038; P estimated shortfall of 30 major domestic credit institutions in the € 15 billion</p>
<p>&#8220;It turns out that for all possible positive shifts of the Russian banking system, including the largest organizations are still very far from the requirements that apply at the international level&#8221;, &#8211; said Nikita Ryazanov.</p>
<p>CB also counted the number of foreign banks. As of April 1 in the domestic banking sector, the number of credit institutions with foreign participation has increased by four since the beginning of the year (to 234). Credit institutions with 100% foreign-owned yards in the capital has increased by two, ie 79. More than half of foreign money in the capital have, as at the beginning of the year, 36 organizations.</p>
<p>According to experts, the number of foreign banks to the domestic financial system is optimal.</p>
<p>&#8220;In our market, leaving only those who have long-term growth plans and sufficient funds for funding subsidiaries. The years 2010-2011 were a turning point for the industry, and those foreign financial institutions that relied on rapid credit growth in Russia and were not prepared to take higher risks with our market away, &#8220;- said the head of analytical department Firstnews IR LMS Dmitry Kumanovsky.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Central Bank insists on tighter control over the activities of foreign credit institutions. The day before, at the round table to protect the interests of the financial sector to join the WTO, academician Abel Aganbeg called for tighter control over the activities of &#8220;foreigners&#8221; in the Russian market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The discovery of graphene, with its unique properties prompted scientists to look closely at other materials in the search for analogies.</p>
<p>For example, researchers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) found that a thin film of bismuth and antimony compounds (Bi1-x Sbx) shows characteristics similar to graphene. According to MIT professor Mildred Dresselhaus (Mildred Dresselhaus), electronic conductivity of the compound has a property known as the Dirac cones.<br />
<span id="more-439"></span><br />
This characteristic, which describes the features of the electron energy as it moves in the materials is most pronounced in graphene.</p>
<p>Theoretically, the presence of Dirac cones indicates the possibility of motion of the electrons in the material with the speed of light. Learn more about <a href="http://widerank.com">Widerank.com</a>!</p>
<p>In terms of electronics, it will speed up the transmission of signals within the chip several times. In addition, films of bismuth-antimony compounds possess thermoelectric properties, which greatly expands the range of possible applications.</p>
<p>This can lead to the creation of new materials for energy generators as well as for efficient cooling systems.</p>
<p>However, according to the scientists themselves, to the practical application of such films are still very far away. Studies of the material has only just begun, and the properties of real evidence discovered so far.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exam test questions have repeatedly been criticized by Russian experts. For example, in the social studies test in 2008 a student asked to choose the correct answer to the question:<br />
<span id="more-436"></span><br />
What characterizes the sign of a person as a person?<br />
1. Features of the exterior<br />
2. Social Activity<br />
3. Properties of temperament<br />
4. Physical development.</p>
<p>Professor of Moscow State University, Doctor of Psychology, Dmitry Leontiev, commented on the job: &#8220;I have the personality psychology for 25 years and I can say that modern science has no clear idea of ​​what features characterize a person. On this account, there are several theories, each of which requires a response. Such questions can not be specified. I do not know which option should be considered right for the student, but whatever it was, I do not like the categorical choice. The answer to this question is characterized by not knowing the student, but the subjective opinion of the author&#8217;s textbook. &#8221; Learn more about <a href="http://www.essay-writing-tips.com/write-my-essay.html">write my essay</a> service!</p>
<p>Criticized the statement of issues in the test exam and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev: &#8220;To answer the question, what changes have occurred in the Red Army during the war, gives the following answer choices: put shoulder straps, the introduction of a field office of the priest, the formation of a special service for the redemption of captives from the enemy! It&#8217;s amazing, monstrous! If we continue to prepare our textbooks so students, imagine what they will have knowledge of the period of the war? &#8220;.</p>
<p>The first experiment for the unified state examination passed in 2001. Then the students passed the tests of the Chuvash, Mari El and Yakutia. The following year, students passed the exam for 16 regions of the country. Since 2008, the USE passed more than a million students in schools across the country. Exam is conducted in mathematics, Russian language, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, literature, foreign languages ​​(English, German, French, Spanish), social studies and science.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>German scientists from the Goethe Institute have discovered errors in the tests of Russia&#8217;s Unified State Examination (CSE). Experts have found jobs in the German language as used incorrect prepositions, grammatical and typographical errors. </p>
<p>Another was the presence of their claim to the test tasks, where the student asked to choose the correct title for the text, although, according to native speakers of correct answers in the job a few. In addition, the censure of the Institute of Goethe in the tests led to the use of outdated language exam and explicit crippled with the Russian language.<br />
<span id="more-430"></span><br />
&#8220;Tests exam using older, just biblical word that never existed expressions, as well as direct copies from the Russian language. One of the themes for the essay offers a description of the German New Year, which is literally translated from Russian as &#8220;New Year&#8217;s holiday.&#8221; But since no one in Germany, says, &#8220;- quoted the employee of the Institute&#8221; Kommersant &#8220;. All this, according to German experts, could seriously affect the final estimates of Russian students who passed the exam. Learn more about <a href="http://www.writemypapers.org/can-you-write-my-essay.html">do my essay for me</a>!</p>
<p>In the Moscow branch of the German Institute declined to comment, noting that such criticism &#8211; the personal opinions of individual employees. Officially, the organization &#8220;is not going to interfere in the internal affairs of Russia and criticized its education system.&#8221;</p>
<p>Employees of the Russian Commission on the German language, which is responsible for the preparation of the unified state examination, believe that all comments are subject of German experts in nature. &#8220;Examples of jobs taken from German newspapers and magazines. Therefore, the claims because of errors is not addressed to us, and German journalists. So they use some momentum, which are not included in the standard rules of the German language &#8220;, &#8211; stressed the representatives of the Commission.</p>
<p>It should be noted that in 2010 no Russian student did not pass the German language exam at 100 points. In Rosobrnadzor formal complaints have been reported.</p>
