About

Dear colleagues,

The massive volume of publications from our conference is available at https://medialing.spbu.ru/news/43-138.html. Very soon I will upload the volume details and the whole text at ELIBRARY (РИНЦ database). It will be impossible to upload each text by author (due to its huge amount), but the whole volume in PDF will be available in the РИНЦ database.

Happy holidays!

Kind regards,
