When most families find out their child is diagnosed with a developmental disorder, they have a fear of the unknown. A fear that their child will not grow up with the same opportunities as other children, a fear they will never learn the life skills necessary to live on their own, a fear they will never make friends. While the initial diagnosis can be scary, learning more about this spectrum disorder can be encouraging for any family. Education is key and we are here to help.
The Good: While there is no cure for Autism, early intervention is very important. When your child is identified early, many of the hurdles your child will face can be improved and in some cases, overcome completely. Be sure to contact your pediatrician if you see any of the signs and suspect your child may be on the spectrum.
The Bad: Autism is the fastest growing developmental disorder, yet the most underfunded. It affects 1 in 68 children- boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed than girls. Will you consider making a donation to fund more research in this field? To make a donation, visit Autism Speaks.
The Beautiful: Autism CAN be overcome and your child can function in society. Raising a child is never easy, no matter who they are and what they are diagnosed with. Every child will learn differently and at their own pace- children on the spectrum are just the same as the rest. Beautiful individuals who love, work, and live in our society. While there is no "cure" for Autism, it is not a helpless diagnosis. In fact, many people on the spectrum have started their own businesses, written books, found meaningful jobs, and live on their own. To learn about more inspiring individuals with developmental disorders, check out these success stories.

Public Release: 30-Jun-2014
Efficacy doubts over pre-IVF hysteroscopy
Results from a large randomised European trial
European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology
Munich, 30 June 2014: A large multicentre trial seems finally to have resolved one of IVF's long-running controversies - whether the outlook for women with a poor IVF record can be improved by routine hysteroscopy performed before further IVF treatment.(1) For the TROPHY study, whose results are reported today at the 30th Annual Meeting of ESHRE in Munich by Dr Tarek El-Toukhy from Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital, London, has now found no significant difference in IVF success rates between those who had outpatient hysteroscopy performed before their IVF and those who didn't. "Based on these findings, outpatient hysteroscopy before IVF doesn't significantly improve IVF results and cannot be considered essential for women with recurrent IVF failure," said Dr El-Toukhy.
Only around one-third of IVF cycles achieve a pregnancy, and unsuccessful attempts (implantation failure) can usually be explained by embryonic or uterine factors. As a result, outpatient hysteroscopy is performed routinely in many fertility clinics before further attempts, first diagnostically to visualise the surface of the uterus and check for any abnormal growths, and then operatively during the same procedure to remove these growths. Several studies have suggested that this can be beneficial prior to further IVF.
However, the TROPHY study has now found such benefit to be less than previously suggested.
This was a large randomised trial performed in eight IVF centres in Europe between 2010 and 2013. More than 700 women were randomised to IVF with hysteroscopy (in the preceding cycle), or IVF without; all were under the age of 38, without known uterine pathology, and had history of unsuccessful IVF (two to four failed cycles).
First, results showed that some abnormality of the uterine cavity was found in 11% of the patients having hysteroscopy.
Second, outcome results following IVF showed no significant difference between the two groups - a live birth rate per patient of 31% in the hysteroscopy group and 29% in the control group.
"The results indicate that routine outpatient hysteroscopy prior to IVF in women who have experienced two to four failed IVF attempts do not significantly improve the subsequent IVF outcome," said Dr El-Toukhy. However, he acknowledged that other studies had indicated that hysteroscopy may well be beneficial before IVF. For example, a meta-analysis performed by Dr El-Toukhy himself in 2008 had provided some evidence that outpatient hysteroscopy might improve IVF results.(2)
However, if the gold standard of a randomised trial has now failed to show any significant benefit of outpatient hysteroscopy before IVF, where might the source of any benefit lie? "It is possible that endometrial scratching rather than routine outpatient hysteroscopy could be responsible for the previously reported improvements," said Dr El-Toukhy, referring to a procedure which too has raised controversy in recent years. Several studies - and study reviews - have shown that "injury" to the surface of the uterus (endometrium), which includes scratching, biopsy or even hysteroscopy, may improve implantation following embryo transfer in IVF.
One recent review of endometrial scratching described endometrial receptivity as one of the key factors regulating embryo implantation and proposed "that mechanical trauma to the endometrium alters gene expression, enhances secretion of growth factors and makes it more receptive for implantation".(3) Results of the review suggested that endometrial scratching is 70% more likely to result in pregnancy than no treatment. A more recent review - but examining the same studies - concluded that "hysteroscopy and/or endometrial scratching in the cycle preceding ovarian stimulation should become a standard for patients with [recurrent implantation failure]. The optimal timing and number of scratches remains to be determined in randomized controlled trials".(4)
Commenting on the impact of hysteroscopy in women with recurrent implantation failure in IVF, Dr El-Toukhy explained that in this study it was mainly applied diagnostically - although "when an abnormality was found and deemed treatable by the surgeon, it was treated either at the same hysteroscopy or at a latter date under anaesthetic". In view of the neutral results of the study it seems possible that some of the abnormalities found "had little clinical significance" - although the study was not designed to test this.
Meanwhile, infertile women with recurrent IVF failure in IVF remain a challenging treatment group, with still little consensus on how they might best be treated.
Abstract O-066, Monday 30 June 17.00 CET
A multi-centre randomised study of pre-IVF outpatient hysteroscopy in women with recurrent IVF-ET failure: The TROPHY Trial
Outpatient hysteroscopy is one of the common investigations proposed after recurrent IVF failure. It is a well-tolerated minimally-invasive procedure, which allows visual assessment of the cervical canal and uterine cavity and provides the opportunity to perform therapy at the same time. Intrauterine pathologies, such as polyps, have been shown to be present in up to 25% of infertile patients, and can be a valid reason for implantation failure. Thus, routine hysteroscopy prior to IVF has been suggested by a number of investigators to ensure normality of the uterine cavity before embryo transfer.

For more than two decades the StarCraft series has been providing role-playing enthusiasts with complex games of strategy set in the 26th century. Long ago StarCraft Brood War and StarCraft Remastered added enhanced features that have helped to create the real life parallel universe where players and their audiences continue to enjoy the fascinating strategies of these militaristic dramas that are played out online. Through esports betting audiences can experience a true sense of camaraderie by supporting their favourite players as they battle with an infinite number of global tournaments and world championships. If you are unfamiliar with StarCraft betting you will find it easy to understand and even easier to place a bet.
What is StarCraft Brood War and StarCraft Remastered Betting?
South Korea in particular has developed a thriving professional circuit which prompted the creation of KeSPA, the Korean esports Players' Association. Competitions, tournaments and single matches attract a massive amount of lucrative sponsorships and contracts with television companies. Coverage is constantly available through online video platforms that specialise in esports entertainment such as Amazon's Twitch TV and South Korea's own AfreecaTV. You can join in the entertainment with real money StarCraft betting. There are many reliable and trustworthy online betting sites to choose from as you can see from the list at the top of this article. Each of them will have a real time display featuring the latest StarCraft betting odds which can fluctuate as in the betting of any other game or sport.
You can place real money wagers on a variety of predicted outcomes such as individual players or teams and the winners of matches or tournaments. There isn't just a first past the post wager but complex bets predicting phases within a match. The more spectators understand and appreciate the strategy involved, the greater their enjoyment of the matches and the art of SCBW betting will be. If you would like to participate in StarCraft betting, you can increase your chances of success by studying individual players' profiles and detailed match histories including their strategic strengths and weaknesses against other players.
How does StarCraft Betting work?
When you wager money on StarCraft the betting structure isn't the same as in horse racing. It's in a format more similar to spread betting where the amount you win is a simple multiplication of your stake. StarCraft odds are quoted as straightforward numbers such as 1.50 or 2.10 and you will usually find online betting sites include calculators to help you determine your potential winnings. Where the fun really starts in StarCraft betting is what you can place wagers on. One of the most popular bets is predicting the match winner. This bet is also referred to as a head to head, a straight or a money line. The prices quoted are based on the online betting site's perception of the individual players' skills and potential as winners.
Placing an SCBW wager on an outright winner means you are choosing the victor of an entire tournament rather than a particular match. Each match has several phases or maps to test the players' strategic skills. This bet allows you to predict who might win each map. A variation of this is placing a wager on a correct map score which is similar to a football score. You can also predict the number of matches a particular player might win during a tournament. Most spectators develop a natural affinity with different wagering options for StarCraft betting or StarCraft Remastered betting.
Why should you bet on StarCraft Brood War and StarCraft Remastered?
The audiences watching StarCraft tournaments have reached phenomenal levels over the years. Live streaming on Twitch, AfreecaTV and even occasional viewings on traditional television has made tournaments instantly accessible. StarCraft betting or StarCraft Remastered betting adds a level of involvement for the spectators. The whole point of betting on StarCraft is to have fun and enjoy yourself as a participant rather than a bystander. Bets need only be small to create an atmosphere of excitement. Placing large bets can have the opposite effect by causing stress and anxiety over the amounts involved. Organisations such as BeGambleAware.org are always on hand to help if you think your wagering is irresponsible.
However, it's through StarCraft betting that many spectators are prompted to immerse themselves in the StarCraft fantasy world. Some will spend hours analysing how different players approach various aspects of their strategies and tactics. They will acquire a deep appreciation of the skills involved. Placing successful wagers is a talent in its own right. Since 2017, the StarCraft series has been available as a free download which should provide a thorough knowledge of the game to help you evaluate the players' skills.
Where can I start betting on StarCraft?
Always ensure that your StarCraft betting activity is only conducted through a reputable online site that's fully licenced. Some of the most well-known are listed at the top of this article and you'll no doubt agree that there are plenty to choose from. One thing in a spectator's favour is that there is a great deal of competition between the different sites resulting in special offers and welcome bonus packs when you open an account. A typical welcome bonus includes a 100% free bets package on your first deposit. Some sites emphasise continued customer loyalty. Take time to check them all out before registering.
If you have decided to set yourself a certain limit for betting you can increase the size of your available funds considerably with prize money from these free bets. You can pay for your SCBW betting fun by a number of methods such as bank transfer, credit or debit cards and online money wallets including PayPal. Some will even accept e-currencies. Your data will be safely stored and through encrypted security monetary transactions will be free of fraud. You can place online bets at any time every day of the year providing perfect accessibility. The prices for betting are displayed in real time to help keep you updated on the form of the participating players.
Many of the stalwarts of the game have been playing StarCraft since they were in their teens. When the StarCraft circuit for professional players became established it was mainly centred in South Korea. Intense TV coverage and interest from sponsors have produced many lucrative contracts. Players at the peak of their game regularly earn four figure salaries. Red Na Da, alias Lee Yun-Yeol, reportedly earns six figures. Prize money for an individual match can be very generous. One such encounter entitled "The Ultimate Title Fight" between Bisu (Kim Taek Yang) and Jaedong (Lee Jae Dong) included a sequence of five matches and a reward of twenty-five thousand American dollars.
Other famous names include Flash, Larva and Rain. Victories in 2018 have brought rewards of two million Korean won (£1,300) for Soulkey and forty-eight million Korean won (£32,500) for EffOrt. Professional players such as Hero, Miso and Dewalt take their gaming strategy very seriously and regularly train for days practising different tactics to ensure they have the best possible chance of success. Although the game play takes place online, many professional players prefer to visit a game's venue in person to eliminate the problems of a time lag slowing their tactics. College clubs have become established in America with teams from Princeton and Rutgers universities leading the field in the Collegiate Star League.
Matches in the StarCraft series feature the life and death struggles between three species of aliens who are constantly at war with each other. Players choose to represent the humanoid Terran, the Protoss or the Zerg, a colony of insects. These factions appear in hundreds of tournaments held throughout the year with matches available on a daily basis. The World Championship series is by far the largest competition and features qualifying matches from different global regions such as Oceania.
Play typically consists of a two stage format with sixteen players progressing to the final bout where just two places are available for the Championship finals. When participating in StarCraft betting there are plenty of games available for you to choose from. Some of the main matches are played in the MBC Game StarCraft League (MSL), the OnGame Net Starleague (OSL) and the Afreeca TV Starleague (ASL). Other competitions include the Global StarCraft II League (GSL). Each year the players who have reached the top ten rankings enter a two phase competition known as the Blizzard Cup.
Whether you decide to place bets or not, the StarCraft BroodWar and Remastered series provide enthralling entertainment. If you do want to add that extra, exciting edge to your experience, placing wagers is quick, easy and worry-free with reputable online betting sites. With an interesting choice of bets and a simple multiplier system, you will soon be enjoying real money prizes while you watch some fascinating games.


Sony NSZ-GS7 review | What Hi-Fi?
It's no secret that Google has done a rather good job of catching up with (some might say 'surpassing') Apple in the mobile phone market with its Android operating system.
And now it's looking to do the same thing in the media streamer market with this, the Google TV platform. It's seen for the first time here, built into a Sony-built device, the Sony NSZ-GS7.
The interface is a very simple, desktop-like one, with a wallpaper that can be user-selected and a row of icons along the bottom to give quick access to apps and the user guide.
If you're not a fan of the apps on this home screen, simply swap them for those you'd prefer from the 'All Apps' page. You can add widgets to the home screen, too. It has to be said that there are only two available right now – a clock and a Twitter feed – but we expect many more to follow in a short while.
Apps are, of course, a big part of Google TV, and there are a couple that come pre-installed that are well worth a mention. First is Netflix, which might badly lack quality in the movies stakes but does have a fairly robust catalogue of TV shows available to stream, as well as excellent video quality and a great interface.
Much better is Sony Entertainment Network (SEN), which includes both a Spotify-style music subscription service and a pay-as-you-go movies-on-demand portal.
The former lacks the catalogue and audio quality of its best rivals, but thanks to a very good, up-to-date library, 1080p quality and great surround sound the video store is perhaps the best on the market after iTunes.
If your (not unreasonable) expectation is that the NSZ-GS7 will have all the functionality of Sony's other media streaming devices as well as a Google skin, you could end up a bit disappointed.
As of right now there's no iPlayer app, for example. LoveFilm and Spotify are missing, too, as is Facebook. These are exactly the apps that we'd expect to join the Google TV bandwagon sooner rather than later, but we're not in the habit of counting chickens before they've hatched, so it needs to be raised as a weakness.
There is, though, a workaround, and that is Google Chrome. Unlike all of the dodgy custom browsers you get on other media streamers, Google Chrome is a fully functioning web browser that's been optimized for use on a television.
In combination with the GS7's remote control (above) it provides the best internet-on-TV experience we've had, and because it has full support for embedded video you can simply navigate to the iPlayer or Lovefilm websites to access their delicious content. It's not as neat as using a dedicated app, but it works.
So that's internet content taken care of, but what about streaming your own media? Well, incredible though it is to believe, the Sony doesn't handle this natively at all.
Instead you need to download the Plex app from the Google Play store as well as install the Plex Media Manager on your computer or a NAS (if you're lucky enough to own one that's supported).
True, Plex is a fine piece of software, it costs just 65p, and if you've got some nice HD video files they'll look lovely when played through it, but we can't help but feel that it shouldn't be necessary, and the fact that it doesn't support music leaves a real gap in the Sony's repertoire.
We're sure that more apps that handle DLNA will appear, but as with other areas of the performance we're not going to absolutely bank on it, which is why for now the GS7 has to make do with four stars.
If the Google TV store develops as we hope and expect, we'll be more than happy to add a fifth at a later date.

ANTHONY ANDERSON SAYS HE LEFT 'LAW & ORDER' TO CREATE MORE SHOWS LIKE 'BLACK-ISH'
Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson has revealed why he left the reboot of the popular NBC television drama Law & Order.
Frazier caught up with Anderson in South Lake Tahoe, California while the actor was in town for the American Century Championship.
Anderson reprised the role in 2021 for the reboot of the hit show created by Dick Wolf in 1990.
Anderson explained that he had only signed a one-year contract.
He accepted the role because he knew that he had other projects in mind that he wanted to create and have ownership in.

Conversation with Jenny Flanagan, Co-Founder Dairy-Free Down Under
Conversation with Jenny Flanagan, Co-Founder…
With the Naturally Good Expo happening at Sydney's Darling Harbour on June 2-3 2019, the event organisers caught up with Jen to talk about our whirlwind journey since officially launching at the same event a year ago. If you're in Sydney, come visit us at stand number "i09".
1. Why, when and how did you become interested in producing a dairy free 'dairy' substitute? Probably a HUGE question, but I guess it'd be great to get a bit of background about why you are, and were so passionate about this, prior to launching your brand?
Jen: Dairy-Free Down Under was born from our desire for our family of five to all sit around the table and enjoy the same meal, despite one of their daughters' intolerance to dairy. We wanted to create quality, tasty, dairy-free alternatives that truly catered for all meals.
We went to work to develop a range of vegan cheeses, sauces and dips that could become easy substitutes for dairy-free eaters, vegans and flexitarians, but could slip through unnoticed for those without dietary restrictions.
Our family wanted a melting style cheese for pizza nights, parmesan for spaghetti nights and cheese style slices for lunches, so we started with this in mind.
Dairy-Free Down Under's growing product range includes mozzarella and cheddar-style shreds, cheddar-style blocks, mozzarella slices, cheddar slices, cashew cream cheese, cashew parmesan, aioli, mayo, sour cream and cheese and cracker snack packs.
We had a few struggles during the research and development phase, but it has already proven incredibly successful.
We give everyone a seat at the table – it doesn't matter if you're dairy-free, vegan, flexitarian or lessatarian.
Dairy-Free Down Under's products offer almond, cashew, soy and coconut options to cater for various allergies – all products are also GMO-free.
Dairy is linked to skin and digestive issues as well as many other health concerns, so it's no surprise that health-conscious consumers tend to avoid it.
Since launching the brand in March 2018 after three years of research and development, our Gold Coast-headquartered Dairy-Free Down Under has grown multi-fold, reflecting the demand for dairy-free and vegan products in Australia.
2. Following on from that, how, when and why did that journey culminate in the launch of Dairy Free Down Under?
Jen: Naturally Good Expo in April 2018 was a huge turning point for us – it represented our first official public launch, even though we spent more than three years researching and developing our range of dairy substitute products.
We're big believers in being "face-to-face" with our customers. Our stand at the Naturally Good Expo last year was literally inundated with interest from buyers, retailers and distributors during the entire show. We had five people on our stand, but even so, there was barely a moment for a toilet break. The event gave us the confidence to really back our brand and focus our energy and resources on making it the best it could be. The feedback we received played a huge role in informing our product development. You can't pay for that level of market research.
Upon our return, we immediately started working with a local PR expert to ensure that we established clarity on our vision and communicated it with our customers. It's not enough just to achieve wins – we've also got to talk about them. We're a proud, family-owned, Australian business and it's important that we share our story and our philosophy about food inclusivity.
We've been very fortunate to gain incredible media exposure from TV, radio, print and online media. We're very proud of the community we've created online via Facebook and Instagram. Every ripple of communication matters, so we're staying as close as we can to our customer to ensure we're responsive to their needs. Many of our products have been developed following requests from our customers.
We also were very honoured to win the Emerging Business category of the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards for 2018. There were so many impressive companies, we really didn't think we were in the running. While it might have appeared that we were an overnight success, winning the award was a reward for many years of hard work. We owe it to our team – there isn't a single staff member out of our 30 employees who isn't passionate and dedicated to our journey.
3. How much – and fast – has the business grown since those early days? And has that growth rate surprised you in any way?
Jen: Thanks to our participation in the Naturally Good Expo, we secured our first distributors and now, a year on, we are in more than 900 retail and fast food outlets.
We're now in independents like IGA, Foodstore, Flannerys, GoVita and Healthy Life, as well as Costcos. We've had huge interest from fast food chains, including Zambrero, which launched our vegan sour cream to their 180 restaurants on November 1 last year to coincide with World Vegan Day. Our rapid growth is a sign of the times with veganism on the rise and more people move away from dairy and embracing healthier or more conscious lifestyles.
We're lucky that this isn't our first Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) business – we also own cut fruit wholesaler Family Fresh – so from the beginning we've been geared up to manage and scale our growth. Developing Dairy-Free Down Under was also a way for us to diversify. Having survived the GFC, we wanted a branded product that could future-proof us and provide us with the resilience required to survive and thrive in this competitive economic landscape.
Another event we participated in during 2018 was the Gold Coast City Council's Buyer's Showcase event during the Commonwealth Games, which helped introduce us to international markets and as a result, we were able to begin exporting within our first year of launching Dairy-Free Down Under.
As a direct result of these introductions and the back-up support by both Trade Investment Queensland and the Gold Coast City Council, we've now been exporting since late October 2018.
Each month, our export orders are growing. This is particularly helpful for our cash flow as we simultaneously build on our distribution within the Australian market. We're now in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore.
4. What do you think the ever-increasing demand for your products tells us about the direction Australians are heading in, in terms of dietary preferences and the swing towards veganism?
Jen: There is a growing niche for non-dairy and vegan-friendly food and very compelling health and humanitarian benefits associated with these lifestyles.
At Dairy-Free Down Under, we're all about food inclusivity. Everybody deserves a seat at the table and the freedom to enjoy healthy versions of their favourite foods.
Turning a blind eye, or worse still, being judgemental or intolerant to those with dietary restrictions is actually going to make you appear "behind the times" and outdated.
There's too much politics happening in the area of food – people need to accept that the world is changing and if you're not providing vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and GMO-free options, you'll be left behind. It's not just about health and ethics – taste counts too. It's not acceptable to serve food that tastes like cardboard. That's why our tagline is "a delicious choice".
Customers who value their health tend to make more conscious buying choices, so it's also important for them to buy locally. There have been similar products available from overseas manufacturers, but we are the first Australian company to successfully develop and commercialise dairy-free cheese alternatives on a large scale.
5. Lastly, for a health food/product retailer wondering if veganism is just a 'passing fad' like a whole lot of other 'diets', as someone with first-hand experience of this market, what would your advice be?
Jen: We predict plant-based diets and veganism are only going to increase – it might seem like a passing fad for those who don't understand the deeper meaning behind it, but it's definitely not a fad. Ignore it at your peril!
Businesses like Dairy-Free Down Under make a huge difference in the accessibility of dairy-free products and they're helping more people make the switch to dairy-free or plant-based diets.
The vegan community is very united, passionate and strong. As more documentaries and films are being released about the meat industry and more glowy influencers come out as vegan, more will get on-board the plant-based movement. Even if they're not 100 per cent vegan, many people simply aspire to eat more plants because it's better for their health and the environment.
I think we could all be more inclusive by creating meals that are vegan-friendly or dairy-free at social gatherings so people feel like they're part of the gathering and not expected to eat something that doesn't make them feel good either mentally or physically. If more people show genuine interest about "why" people choose to eat the way they do, rather than focusing on the "what", we believe it would result in increased food harmony and acceptance. It doesn't have to be complicated, after all, diversity is the spice of life!

presser RolandGarros2011
RG: Rafa/Veic Presser Transcript
5/28/2011Rafaholics
World no.1 Rafael Nadal notched up another routine win on the red clay of Roland Garros and is beginning to look considerably more the fearsome warrior that we have come to expect after a couple of tepid early round matches. On Saturday, Nadal eased past 23-year old Croatian qualifier Antonio Veic in straight sets 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 with the first and third set combined taking just a minute more than the second.
Q. Obviously you played a lot better today than compared to the first two matches. Is it a big relief for you to see that your game is improving?
RAFAEL NADAL: I think so. I think I did a few things much better than the previous days. Happy for that.I have to continue for this way, I think. I think I played a solid match almost all the time. Just the beginning of the second, for moments of the second set, I had a few more mistakes.But for the rest of the match, I think I started to have better control of the ball. The position was more inside. The return was much better, I think, longer.And after that shot, having the chance to go inside with the forehand and try to have the control of the point, changing directions, no. I think I played longer, too, so, in general, happy about the improve, no?That's something not gonna be from 0 to 100, but now I improved, no, like two first days.
Q. I wanted to wait for more tennis questions. Nobody's asking, so I'm asking you: Tonight there is a Barcelona match, and I'd like to know, since you're a big supporter of Real Madrid, what you really support tonight.
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, no, I know a few people from inside of Barcelona. You know, always I know Guardiola; I know Estiarte. They are there. I met the past few players of them, so from Manchester I really don't know not much.So I prefer Barcelona. That's true. I am big supporter of Real Madrid, but I prefer Barcelona. But what I really want to see is a fantastic football match tonight. I love football, and these kind of matches are always special.
Q. So you will watch it tonight?
RAFAEL NADAL: For sure, yeah.
Q. Djokovic and Del Potro are on court at the moment. You spoke the other day about it being disappointing that they have to play each other so early. Do you think there's anything that could be done to stop that kind of thing happening in terms of when somebody's coming back from injury?
RAFAEL NADAL: I say is different things to do; not only for that. I think to try to have a longer careers for the players, I think for sure have shorter calendar. But that's to have a longer career, to have less problems on this is have two years of ranking; not only one year of ranking.In my opinion, that's put a lot of pressure for the players. If one player gets injury for three months, five months, six months, the ranking is not done.For sure if you stop being No. 5 of the world, you not gonna be No. 6 when you come back, but maybe you gonna be No. 14, 15. But this way the ranking is done today, that's not happening. If you have an injury for three months, five months, you are done. Your ranking is very tough for everybody, I think. So I say it a lot of times in the council. I know a few players are happy with that.
Q. With the idea of changing?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I know that. A few important players. But, you know how difficult it is, all the changes. And, seriously, for me sometimes it is tiring for me to be all the time fighting and trying to have new ideas for improve. But I think changes a few things since three years or two years than when we are on the council. But, seriously, all the changes needs lot of time, and that's disappointing, no? Seems like I am working all the time for the next generations, and I would love to have something for my generation, no?
Q. I know you're always being asked about time and time violations and all that, but you got another one today. I know at Wimbledon the referee has said that they're really going to be a lot tighter on the time situation. What are your views on the time rules as they stand at the moment?
RAFAEL NADAL: The rule is the rule. If I am slow, I am slow. That's what I can say. No, no, if it's time violation, it's time violation. I have to go faster. That's my fault if I am slower.
Q. You said the other day in Spanish that you feel the pressure to have to defend your ranking every day, every week. Is it a new feeling, or did you have this feeling the years before?
RAFAEL NADAL: No one new feeling. Is my ninth year on the tour. Is completely the same feeling every year. Well, is my seventh being top 2 in the rankings, so is nothing new to have to defend points today, no? But, you know, that's for the players in the mental part, physical part. You can't. You don't have the chance to stop, never, you know. I think for that situation we have a shorter career. So having a different model of ranking, a different moment, a different model of competition, I think we can have longer career, no? Because in my opinion, you know, I have almost 25, but seems like I am playing for 100 years here on the tour. (Laughter.) So I think that's not possible. And I have this feeling, too, but I have this feeling because is too much every year, every week, you know. I didn't spend a weekend at home right now since the week of Davis Cup after-- before Indian Wells, you know.In my opinion, that's too much. In my opinion, the tennis is a very demanding sport mentally and physically. And mentally is special, too. Because you win a tournament, the winner of Roland Garros-- well, it happened to me. I won Roland Garros five times, but next Monday I am practicing on Queen's.So that's makes the career shorter for everybody, my opinion, no? And that probably is difficult, have a difficult solution, because we have four Grand Slams, we have nine Masters 1000, and the year is 12 months. But what have a better solution is have a little bit longer stop at the end of the season. I know that they're gonna reduce two weeks next year, but, seriously, is not enough.It's something that I don't gonna have these changes for my generation, but hopefully for the next generations to have a better sports life. Because I think you need two months, two months and a half of rest at the end of the season. You have to practice.I never able to practice and to try to improve the things during the offseason, and that's something I think terrible. Because then it's like, you know, that's the game. The game is challenging to keep improving, try to be better player all the time, and you only can try that in the tournaments.It's good to try to have one month and a half to say, Come on, let's go and try to serve this way one month without the pressure to have to compete in two weeks. So that's not happening.Sometimes it's like work. And, in my opinion, tennis is not work. Is passion. Is different -- the perspective, in my opinion, is different. With this calendar and with these rankings all the time, it's like work.
Q. I mean, if not even the No. 1 player in the world can change all this, what can we do? Because we can't write about. I do agree with all what you just said. But, I mean, you and Federer and Djokovic were all in the pro council.
RAFAEL NADAL: Djokovic, no.
Q. Well not now, but he has been maybe once, I think.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah.
Q. So I say if you cannot change yourself, who can change it?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, is something -- I think is something very difficult. I know is interesting part right now. But is something very difficult, because, you know, is a lot of interest on the tennis, and I know what -- the thing that cannot happen is the tournaments that they invest on our sport, you cannot right now say, Well, you are out of the tour because we need a shorter calendar. I understand that, and I think all the players make sense about that and everybody understand that. But there is different solutions. You can have the same calendar. If you want to have 11 months of calendar, is no problem.But if you have two years of ranking and you put the Masters-- well, play US Open, play two more weeks and play the Masters. After you can keep having tournaments until December if you want, but don't have 1000 tournaments or Masters Cup at the end of the season, because that's obligatory to play if you want to be in the top positions of the ranking.But if you pull out these tournaments on October, November, yeah, and you play 250 tournaments at the end of the season, for all the players that they have ranking 40, 30, 15, 70, or even No. 1, if they have an injury during the season or they want to keep playing, they gonna have the chance to keep playing. But if you want to stop, you cannot stop. Now is not an option to do.And this is something that I understand. All the changes seems like is the end of the world for the tournaments. But for the tournaments, they gonna have probably better chances to have Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer in one tournament at the end of the season after that, because sometimes we play exhibitions, too.And if they have enough good conditions for the players to be there, they gonna have his chances better than today. Let's see how many 250 tournaments or how many 500 tournaments we play around the season. Is impossible.I don't know how many matches I am playing this season. But, for us, I think is impossible to have an election to play more tournaments.
Q. In English you were saying that you improved your game. Is there anything that you were still missing today?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I think I improved in all compartments of my game. I was more aggressive; I made less mistakes. I think that at the moment I have more control over the ball. I play very well on my forehand. I opened the court with a cross shot. I had points on my forehands; my backhand has improved quite a lot.That's how I managed to play far better on the court, even though I made some mistakes. But that's a process on which you can't say things go from 0 to 100. Everything has to evolve. It's progressive, but it's positive. It cannot be a drastic evolution. It can't go from black to white over one night.So by and large I'm very happy with this match, except for the beginning of the second set where I made some mistakes. But I also-- you also have to realize what a challenge it is to improve your game day after day.But I have very good feelings. It's very positive. I have confidence. I had very good practice this morning. I feel I'm more in control on the court, and it increases my self-confidence.p
Q. With regards to the balls, did you have time to practice in Mallorca? Because Roger was saying just the same thing yesterday. He said he had not had time to adapt to the Masters 1000. But yesterday was serving very high. Are you practicing on your serve?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, honestly, I didn't have much time to practice. I was focusing on other points than my serve because I had played so many matches over such a short period of time. But maybe tomorrow I can spend a bit of time and work on that point.Now, with regards to the balls, I mean, for the three days I was in Mallorca I did not practice at all. I didn't have time. The balls are different than on the Masters 1000. Once again, I like the balls we play with this year.But all changes are important. For us, the balls are obviously very important. But I think you don't want to blame the balls for my mistakes. The balls are okay. They suit my game. They wanted to have a ball that looks like the ball we had last year, because they thought Dunlop would engineer the same balls to play on clay. But, in fact, there's not so much difference.So I think the ball is very similar to the Dunlop ball that we had on Roland Garros last year.
Q. Ljubicic and Verdasco, one of them will be your next opponent. Who would you prefer playing?
RAFAEL NADAL: Prefer? None of them. But I will prefer the one I will be playing, obviously. I wish it was Fernando, because he wins and we have a great friendship.
Q. This is a technical question. When you walk on the court and he has this cross shot on his backhand, what would have been the best way to respond to that type of game? Because apparently this is what everyone wants to do, to be deep in the court and play on your backhand.
RAFAEL NADAL: No. In fact, I had played a very short ball. I remember that. It was a very short ball. And when you play against an opponent who can hit the ball very strong, I had no difficulties. The best response was to return as deep as possible, and this is what he did. When the ball goes higher it becomes more powerful. If I play long balls, they won't win a point against me on this, with this shot.
Q. Can you explain what is special about the central court here? Because apparently players who very often play on the Chatrier Court have an advantage because there are special things about this court.
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, it's a very big court. Well, you know, it's a tennis court. Maybe there are some changes, but after the US Open, it's the most difficult central court to play on because it's very open. In the US Open it's not very big, but it's totally open; whereas in Wimbledon it's more enclosed.So all these open-air courts with the wind, as is the case here in Roland Garros, well, it's true that the wind comes in and makes our job a bit more difficult.The idea of playing on such a big court is quite impressive. Federer has played many times on this court. He's been in Roland Garros for many, many years. I don't think it's gonna be a problem for him. It's true that everything is in your head, really. It's more a psychological issue.
Q. During the last press conference, you were saying that you were trying to find solutions to your problems. Did you find solutions to your problems?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I improved my game. You know, solutions don't come from heaven. I mean, you can't change everything in one day. And you know what? I had not forgotten to play tennis for a week, but I played better today. I try and find solutions day after day when I practice, and then I try and implement that during the matches.But, as I said, it's not just a problem of tennis practice or technique. I also had problems with my mental concentration. I made a great step forward. I have more confidence, and that's a major step forward for me. Now, for the second week we'll see if I have changed and if I can make it till the end. If I cannot, well, it doesn't matter. Well, it's not all that serious, but I'll fight all the way, as usual.

Die Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften (RAW;  – Rossijskaja akademija nauk, kurz RAN) ist die nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften in Russland.

Sie wurde 1724 von Peter dem Großen gegründet und gefördert und hieß zwischen 1925 und 1991 Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR (Академия наук СССР). Heute ist sie die ranghöchste Forschungseinrichtung der Russischen Föderation mit 13 Fachabteilungen, drei regionalen Abteilungen, 15 regionalen Wissenschaftszentren und zahlreichen Wissenschafts- und Forschungsinstitutionen in ganz Russland. Der Hauptsitz der Akademie war ursprünglich in Sankt Petersburg, wurde aber 1934 nach Moskau verlegt.

Ziele und Struktur

Allgemeines
Die Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften stellt ihrem Wesen nach eine Arbeitsgemeinschaft von russischen Wissenschaftlern dar, die sich in akademische Mitglieder (das heißt Vollmitglieder) und korrespondierende Mitglieder, ferner wissenschaftliche Angestellte und andere Gelehrte und Spezialisten unterteilt. Mit den von der Akademie betriebenen Wissenschafts- und Forschungsorganisationen stellt sie das Hauptzentrum der grundlegenden Forschung im Bereich von Natur- und Sozialwissenschaften in Russland dar. Hervorragende Persönlichkeiten, die keine russischen Staatsbürger sind, können zu ausländischen Mitgliedern werden.

Die Vollmitglieder der RAN sind berechtigt, den akademischen Titel Academicus (Acad.) vor dem Namen zu tragen, welcher als Zeichen höchster Anerkennung betrachtet wird.

Zum Zeitpunkt Oktober 1, 2022 gab es 877 Voll-, 1130 korrespondierende und 474 ausländische Mitglieder (s. Namenslisten).

Die letzte Wahl neuer Akademiemitglieder hat vom 30n Mai bis 3n Juni 2022 stattgefunden. Die Besonderheit der Wahl 2022 genauso wie der Wahlen 2016 und 2019 war ein ziemlich großer Anteil der mit Altersobergrenze versehenen Ausschreibungen, wobei der Kandidat für eine korrespondierende Mitgliedschaft jünger als 51 (2016, 2022) oder als 56 (2019) und für eine Vollmitgliedschaft jünger als 61 (2016, 2022) sein sollte.

Seit 2015 verleiht die Akademie außerdem den Status/Ehrentitel des Professors der RAN an die russischen Spitzenforscher. Die Anzahl der Inhaber solches Titels ist heutzutage 715; die 163 von diesen Personen sind schon zu korrespondierenden Mitgliedern geworden und die 16 Professoren sogar zu Vollmitgliedern.

Die Organisationsstruktur der Akademie vereinigt ein breites Netzwerk von Forschungsinstituten und Laboratorien, die an Forschungsarbeiten in den meisten Bereichen der modernen Wissenschaft beteiligt sind. Ausnahmen hiervon sind Pädagogik, Künste sowie Architektur und Bauwesen: Für diese Gebiete existieren in Russland jeweils separate wissenschaftliche Akademien, die genauso wie die RAN als staatlich betriebene Forschungs-Dachorganisationen gelten.

Die Akademie ist eine staatliche Organisation, die in ihrer Tätigkeit der Gesetzgebung sowie dem eigenen Statut folgt. Letzteres wird ausschließlich durch die Generalversammlung der RAN ohne staatliche Einmischung angenommen oder verändert. Die Akademie führt eine freie Aufsicht über die Kontrolle der Tätigkeit der Institute, Laboratorien und anderer Organe im Bereich der grundlegenden Forschung und Ausbildung von Spezialisten.

Ziele
Zu den primären Zielen der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften gehören vor allem grundlegende Forschung im Bereich von Natur-, Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften, die auch dazu beitragen soll, die soziale und geistige Entwicklung der russischen Gesellschaft voranzutreiben. Dies schließt auch die Auswahl und Förderung von begabten Nachwuchsforschern mit ein. Durch die vielseitige Forschungsarbeit unter Einsatz qualitativ hochwertigen Personals soll auch das Renommee der Wissenschaft und der soziale Status von Akademikern in Russland erhöht werden. Außerdem verfolgt die RAN das Ziel, die gegenseitige Integration der Forschungsaktivitäten in der Akademie, den Hochschulen und der Industrie zu fördern, um möglichst viele Synergieeffekte zwischen Wissenschaft, Ausbildung und Kultur zu erzielen und damit eine gemeinsame wissenschaftliche und technische Politik im Land zu verwirklichen.

Zur Erhöhung der Effizienz ihrer Aktivitäten fördert die RAN internationale Zusammenarbeit zwischen russischen und ausländischen Wissenschaftlern, unter anderem durch Kooperationsübereinkommen mit ausländischen Akademien der Wissenschaften und anderen Forschungsorganisationen. Außerdem richtet sie internationale Forschungszentren in Russland ein und führt internationale Kongresse, Konferenzen und Seminare durch.

Vorstand
Präsident der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften ist seit 20. September 2022 der Physiker und E-Techniker Gennadi Krasnikow (sein Name wird manchmal auch als "Gennady Krasnikov" transliteriert); die Amtszeit beträgt fünf Jahre.

Das Präsidium der Akademie besteht, einschließlich des Präsidenten, aus 82 Mitgliedern, die, genauso wie Krasnikow, von der Generalversammlung der RAN Ende September 2022 gewählt wurden. Darunter sind die zehn Vizepräsidenten. Im Präsidium gibt es die Vertreter aller Fach- und Regionalabteilungen. Bis auf vereinzelten Ausnahmen sind sie akademische Mitglieder der RAN. Sowohl der Präsident persönlich als auch das gesamte Präsidium sind der Generalversammlung der RAN rechenschaftspflichtig.

Fach- und Regionalabteilungen
Die gegenwärtige (Stand: 2017) RAN gliedert sich in dreizehn Fachabteilungen sowie drei Regionalabteilungen und 15 regionale wissenschaftliche Zentren.

Die Fachabteilungen der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften sind:

 Abteilung für Mathematikwissenschaften
 Sektion für Mathematik
 Sektion für angewandte Mathematik und Informatik
 Abteilung für Physikwissenschaften
 Sektion für allgemeine Physik und Astronomie
 Sektion für Kernphysik
 Abteilung für Energiewirtschaft, Maschinenbau, Mechanik und Steuerungsprozesse
 Sektion für Mechanik
 Sektion für Maschinenbau
 Sektion für Energiewirtschaft
 Abteilung für Nanotechnologien und Informationstechnologien
 Abteilung für Chemie und Materialwissenschaften
 Sektion für Chemie
 Sektion für Materialwissenschaften
 Abteilung für biologische Wissenschaften
 Sektion für physisch-chemische Biologie
 Sektion für Biologie
 Abteilung für Geowissenschaften
 Abteilung für Gesellschaftswissenschaften
 Sektion für Philosophie, Soziologie, Psychologie und Recht
 Sektion für Wirtschaft
 Abteilung für Geschichts- und Sprachwissenschaften
 Abteilung für Medizin
 Abteilung für Agrarwissenschaften
 Abteilung für Physiologie
 Abteilung für globale Probleme und Internationale Beziehungen

Die vier letztgenannten Abteilungen existieren seit 2014. Sie erschienen wegen Anschlusses ehemaliger staatlicher Akademien der Medizin und der Agrarwissenschaften an die RAN sowie wegen etlicher Umstrukturierungen.

Jede Fachabteilung verfügt jeweils über eine bestimmte Zahl von Forschungseinrichtungen, die sich auf bestimmte engere Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte spezialisieren. In vielen Fällen handelt es sich hierbei um Forschungsinstitute auf einem bestimmten Gebiet. Einige dieser Institute sind international bekannt, wie beispielsweise das Informationszentrum WINITI, das Steklow-Institut für Mathematik oder das Lebedew-Institut.

Darüber hinaus ist die RAN nach regionaler Präsenz unterteilt: Sie hat drei Regionalabteilungen – die Abteilung Sibirien in Nowosibirsk, die Abteilung Ural in Jekaterinburg und die Abteilung Fernost in Wladiwostok – sowie insgesamt 15 Wissenschaftszentren in Wladikawkas, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkarien, Kasan, der Republik Karelien, der Republik Komi, in Tschernogolowka, Puschtschino, Samara, Sankt Petersburg, Nischni Nowgorod, Saratow, Troizk, Ufa und Rostow am Don.

Geschichte

18. und 19. Jahrhundert
Die Gründung der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften war einer der Bestandteile der Reformen von Zar Peter I., dem Großen, die vor allem zum Ziel hatten, den russischen Staat zu modernisieren und somit auch seine Wissenschaft und Forschung möglichst auf einen mit führenden europäischen Ländern vergleichbaren Stand zu bringen. Hierbei sollten sämtliche vor allem strategisch wichtige Wissenschafts- und Forschungsaktivitäten des Landes unter dem Dach einer Institution vereinigt werden. Letztere sollten dem Staat gehören und diesem auch unterstehen. Dieser Aspekt unterschied die neu gegründete Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften von vergleichbaren Institutionen des europäischen Auslandes, die mehr Autonomie vom Staat genießen konnten.

Als Gründungsdatum der Akademie gilt der 8. Februar 1724, als der von Peter dem Großen initiierte Erlass über die Einrichtung der Akademie vom Regierenden Senat verabschiedet wurde. Der feierliche Gründungsakt der neuen Akademie, die ihren Sitz in der neuen Hauptstadt Sankt Petersburg erhielt, wurde am 27. Dezember 1725 begangen. Ihr erster Präsident war der renommierte Mediziner Lorenz Blumentrost (1692–1755). In den Anfangszeiten war die Akademie nach ihren Haupttätigkeitsfeldern in drei Fachabteilungen unterteilt: die mathematische, die physisch-naturwissenschaftliche und die geisteswissenschaftliche. Peter der Große, der sich sehr für Wissenschaft und Technik interessierte und die Einrichtung der Akademie als eines seiner wichtigsten Reformvorhaben betrachtete, setzte sich auch nach deren Gründung dafür ein, dass die neue Institution nicht nur innerhalb Russlands an Ansehen gewann. Hierzu wurde eine Reihe von verdienten ausländischen Akademikern nach Petersburg eingeladen und zu Mitgliedern der Akademie ernannt, darunter Nikolaus und Daniel Bernoulli, Christian Goldbach, Georg Bernhard Bilfinger, Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, Leonhard Euler und Gerhard Friedrich Müller. Zudem erhielt die Akademie mehrere wichtige wissenschaftliche Einrichtungen des Landes unter ihre Verwaltung, darunter die Petersburger Kunstkammer, ein astronomisches Observatorium, einen botanischen Garten, ein anatomisches Theater und eine Druckerei.

Die ausgedehnte Infrastruktur der Akademie und die Mitarbeit renommierter in- und ausländischer Forscher haben bereits wenige Jahrzehnte nach der Gründung zu herausragenden Leistungen in diversen Bereichen der russischen Wissenschaft geführt. So konnte von der geowissenschaftlichen Abteilung bereits 1745 die erste vollständige geographische Karte Russlands angefertigt werden. Zu den wichtigsten Errungenschaften der Akademie in den ersten Jahren ihres Bestehens zählen unter anderem die vielen Entdeckungen des Universalgelehrten Michail Lomonossow im natur- und geowissenschaftlichen Bereich, die mathematischen Forschungsarbeiten Eulers sowie mehrere Forschungsexpeditionen in vormals unerschlossene Gebiete des Russischen Reichs, darunter die Zweite Kamtschatkaexpedition. Ab 1728 verlegte die Akademie ihre eigene Forschungszeitschrift auf Latein.

Auch im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Tätigkeit der Akademie von herausragenden wissenschaftlichen Leistungen geprägt. Zu nennen ist in diesem Zusammenhang beispielsweise die erste russische Weltumsegelung in den Jahren 1803–1806 unter dem Kommando Johann Krusensterns sowie die 1820 erfolgte Entdeckung der Antarktis bei einer Expedition Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausens und Michail Lasarews. 1841 wurde die noch 1783 gegründete Petersburger Akademie für Russische Sprache, zu deren Mitgliedern berühmte Literaten wie die Dichter Derschawin und Puschkin gehörten, in die Akademie der Wissenschaften als Fachabteilung für Russische Sprache eingegliedert. Wichtige Arbeiten im Bereich Mathematik und Statistik leistete im 19. Jahrhundert Pafnuti Tschebyscheff, ebenfalls Akademiemitglied. Im späten 19. Jahrhundert und in den ersten Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts war die Akademie Arbeitsort weltbekannter russischer Naturwissenschaftler wie Dmitri Mendelejew, Alexander Butlerow und Wladimir Wernadski. Zwei Akademiemitglieder, nämlich die Mediziner Iwan Pawlow und Ilja Metschnikow, gehörten zu den ersten Trägern des Nobelpreises.

Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR

In der Zeit des politischen Umbruchs in Russland im Anschluss an die Oktoberrevolution 1917 stand die vormalige Kaiserlich-Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften zunächst vor einer ungewissen Zukunft, auch weil ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Teil ihrer Mitglieder der Machtübernahme durch die Bolschewiki offen ablehnend gegenüberstand. Dennoch ging der Forschungsbetrieb auch in den ersten Jahren nach der Revolution weiter. Zu den wichtigsten Aktivitäten der 1920er-Jahre gehörte unter anderem die Erforschung der riesigen Kursker Magnetanomalie im Südwesten Russlands, der Bodenschätze der Kola-Halbinsel sowie die Erarbeitung des staatlichen Plans GOELRO zur flächendeckenden Elektrifizierung des Landes. Außerdem wurden in den frühen 1920er-Jahren umfassende strukturelle Reformen innerhalb der Akademie durchgeführt. Dabei entstanden innerhalb der Akademie die ersten Forschungsinstitute, außerdem stieg bis 1925 die Zahl der wissenschaftlichen Angestellten der Akademie um das Vierfache im Vergleich zu 1917.

Eine wichtige Veränderung brachte die Oktoberrevolution von 1917. Bereits 1918 begann in den späteren Unionsrepubliken der Sowjetunion die Bildung eigener Akademien der Wissenschaften – die erste von ihnen war die in jenem Jahr eingerichtete Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften der Ukraine. 1925 erhielt die Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften den Status der übergeordneten Wissenschafts- und Forschungsinstitution der Sowjetunion. Dabei wurde sie offiziell in Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR umbenannt. 1934 wurde ihr Hauptsitz in die Hauptstadt Moskau verlegt, wo er sich bis heute befindet. Ende der 1930er-Jahre belief sich die Anzahl der Fachabteilungen der Akademie bereits auf acht.

Neben ausgedehnten strukturellen Veränderungen war die Arbeit der Akademie im 20. Jahrhundert vor allem von der raschen Industrialisierung der Sowjetunion geprägt, was zu jener Zeit einen enormen Bedarf an Forschungsarbeit vor allem in verschiedenen Bereichen der Naturwissenschaften hervorbrachte. Auch die militärischen Erfolge des Sowjetstaates, die ihm letztlich den Supermachtstatus gebracht hatten – so auch die Entwicklung der ersten sowjetischen Atombombe – waren in vielen Fällen renommierten Akademiemitgliedern zu verdanken. Zu den weiteren Forschungsschwerpunkten innerhalb der Akademie zur Sowjetzeit gehört die Entwicklung des sowjetischen Raumfahrtprogramms, die Erschließung zahlreicher neuer Rohstoffvorkommen durch Geologen, vor allem aber die Arbeiten in der Kernforschung und anderen Bereichen der Physik. So waren unter den sowjetischen Nobelpreisträgern besonders viele Physiker: 1958 Pawel Tscherenkow, Ilja Frank und Igor Tamm, 1962 Lew Landau, 1964 Nikolai Bassow und Alexander Prochorow, 1978 Pjotr Kapiza.

Vor allem in der Nachkriegszeit entstanden in mehreren Regionen der Sowjetunion regionale Abteilungen der Sowjetischen Akademie der Wissenschaften sowie große Wissenschaftszentren in teilweise extra hierfür erbauten Städten wie Akademgorodok, Dubna, Troizk, Puschtschino oder Tschernogolowka. Außerdem war die Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR maßgeblich an der Gründung vieler neuer Hochschulen auf dem Gebiet der Sowjetunion beteiligt.

Nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion
Mit der Auflösung der Sowjetunion war auch das Ende der Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR als solcher besiegelt. Am 21. November 1991 wurde die Akademie nach einem Erlass des damaligen russischen Präsidenten Boris Jelzin in die Russische Akademie der Wissenschaften (RAN) umbenannt. Auf dem Gebiet der Russischen Föderation wurde die RAN Rechtsnachfolger der ehemaligen Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR.

Zugleich erlebte die Akademie kurz nach dem Ende des Sowjetstaates erneut eine Phase ungewisser Zukunft, als mit der Bildung unabhängiger Staaten aus ehemaligen Teilrepubliken der Sowjetunion die Rolle der RAN als übergeordnete Akademie entfiel und die ehemaligen Republiksakademien nunmehr selbständig wurden. Hinzu kam ein schwerer wirtschaftlicher Niedergang Anfang der 1990er-Jahre in ganz Russland, der auch die Akademie der Wissenschaften in extreme finanzielle Schwierigkeiten stürzte. Diese Krise, in deren Folge es zu einer Abwanderung vieler hochqualifizierter, aber schlecht bezahlter wissenschaftlicher Kräfte in die USA und ins europäische Ausland gekommen ist, dauerte rund ein Jahrzehnt. Die Folgen der Unterfinanzierung der RAN sind teilweise bis heute spürbar: So verdoppelte sich das durchschnittliche Alter der wissenschaftlichen Geräte der RAN von 1990 bis 2006 von 7,5 auf rund 15 Jahre.

Reform (2013–2018)
In den Jahren 2013–2018 wurde die Reform der staatlichen Akademien der Wissenschaften in Russland durchgeführt, mit folgenden Maßnahmen:
 Die Russische Akademie für Agrarwissenschaften und die Russische Akademie für Medizinwissenschaften wurden an die RAN angeschlossen, dadurch entstanden die neuen Fachabteilungen der erweiterten RAN.
 Die sogenannte Föderale Agentur für Wissenschaftliche Organisationen — FAWO () wurde gegründet, in deren Zuständigkeit das Eigentum und die Immobilien der RAN übertragen wurden.
 Die Bewertung der Forschungsinstitute der RAN wurde vorgenommen und die Institute auf dieser Basis in drei Kategorien eingruppiert: die führenden, mittleren und schwachen (die letzten können später umstrukturiert werden).
 Die Gehälter wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter erhöhten sich bis zum doppelten Durchschnittsgehalt im öffentlichen Dienst der jeweiligen Region; ferner wurde der Russische Wissenschaftsfonds () ins Leben gerufen, dessen Grants wertvoller sind, als die der bisher funktionierenden ähnlichen Stiftungen.
 Zur Tätigkeit in Direktoraten der Institute der RAN wurden Personen relativ junger Generationen aktiv herangezogen; auch führte man etliche Altersbeschränkungen bei der Wahl der Akademiemitglieder ein.
 Für die Fachexpertise der großen staatlichen Projekte ist der RAN die Hauptrolle zugeordnet worden.

Die Fusierung der Akademien, die Initiative mit dem neuen Fonds sowie die Steigerung des Anteils junger Forscher in leitenden Positionen werden im Allgemeinen positiv oder neutral angesehen.

Aber die Übergabe des Eigentums der RAN an die FAWO verursachte Missvertrauen in den wissenschaftlichen Kreisen. Angeblich solle dieser Schritt dafür dienen, dass die Forscher von solchen Nebensachen, wie Wartungsarbeiten an den Gebäuden, befreit werden. Trotzdem gab und gibt es den Verdacht, dass das Eigentum im Endeffekt in die Hände der Machtinhaber oder sogar von Kriminellen kommt und so von der Akademie endgültig entzogen wird. Besonders stark waren die Proteste gegen diese Übergabe am Anfang der Reform 2013, auch weil diese Reform ganz spontan eingeleitet wurde. Die Ideologen der Reform hatten zuerst vor, die drei Akademien überhaupt abzuschaffen und eine neue staatlich-öffentliche Organisation als Ersatz zu stiften. Wegen kräftiger Proteste, auch auf der internationalen Ebene, wurde das Reformgesetz "gemildert". Allmählich hat sich die Situation teilweise beruhigt.

Offiziell wurde das Ende der Reform während der Gesamtversammlung der RAN im März 2018 verkündet.

Am 15. Mai hat der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin die FAWO abgeschafft. Gleichzeitig wurde das bisherige Ministerium für Bildung und Wissenschaft in zwei separate Ministerien aufgeteilt — für Bildungswesen (umfasst Erziehung, Schul- und Berufsausbildung) und für Wissenschaft und Hochschulangelegenheiten. Das letztgenannte muss die ehemalige Struktur der FAWO miteinschließen und die Institute der RAN weiterhin verwalten.

Brand 2015

Ein Brand am 30. und 31. Januar 2015 im Gebäude des Instituts für wissenschaftliche Information zu den Gesellschaftswissenschaften der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (INION RAN) in Moskau zerstörte größere Gebäudeteile, insbesondere die Bibliothek. Zahlreiche wertvolle Dokumente wurden zerstört oder schwer geschädigt. Zu den zerstörten Beständen gehört unter anderem eine einzigartige Sammlung von UN-Dokumenten. Gegen Juri Piwowarow, zum Zeitpunkt des Brandes Direktor des Instituts, und Kremlkritiker wurde von staatlichen Medien eine Verleumdungskampagne gestartet. So wurde dem Wissenschaftler unter anderem vorgeworfen, mit der NATO zu paktieren und für Korruption im Institut verantwortlich zu sein. Das Strafverfolgungskomitee der Russischen Föderation eröffnete schließlich im Zusammenhang mit dem Brand am 20. April 2015 gegen Piwowarow ein Verfahren wegen Fahrlässigkeit.

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
"Elizabeth's first love is back," touts an ABC/SOAPnet promo for Jonathan Jackson's Oct. 27 return. (Check it out here) Uh, guys…? Elizabeth's first love NEVER LEFT. He's right there. In Port Charles. Wearing Greg Vaughan's face.
I mean, I can only imagine how hamstrung the ABC/SOAPnet promotional department was, realizing that they couldn't go "the real Lucky returns!" route — darn all those fans for finding that genius move for AMC's Greenlee offensive! — but was it necessary to sit around and think of something just as bad?
Guess what, GH: Lucky and Liz have always been a permanent lock. It doesn't matter if it was Jackson or Jacob Young or Greg Vaughan in the role. But way to confirm, yet again, for viewers that the Lucky character has had no value for the last decade…that all of that history and character work and the times Lucky and Elizabeth have been drawn together as lovers and as parents hasn't rated because it wasn't Jonathan Jackson. To outright say that is really, really bold.
I guess I imagined the 2005 wedding and all the adorable family scenes with Cameron and Jake, because Elizabeth's only hookups were with Jason, Ric and Zander. And what about Jacob Young's Daytime Emmy? I guess he won that for AMC's JR…even before he got the role.
It's really disrespectful. That's what it boils down to. Greg Vaughan aired just yesterday, in beautiful scenes welcoming Elizabeth to the Spencer family once more…while the network he airs on has already written him out of the Spencer clan. I know it's not Jonathan Jackson's fault. He's got a family to feed, too, and a right to be employed. But someone needs to be held accountable for the bad taste here. I honestly thought the network had learned something from their own "real Greenlee" debacle, but it's clear they haven't.
Page me when my first love, the real GENERAL HOSPITAL, is back.
