On October 23, 2018, Askold Rafailovich Beketov, a professor at the UrFU Institute of Physics and Technology, suddenly died. After graduating from the Faculty of Physics and Technology of UPI (now UrFU), Beketov worked for 57 years at the Department of Rare Metals and Nanomaterials, which he headed from 1992 to 2012. In 1964 he successfully defended his candidate's dissertation, and in 1991 - his doctoral dissertation.
Askold Beketov was a major scientist who made a great contribution to Russian science. Together with his co-authors, he published more than 400 scientific papers, brochures, monographs, textbooks, and received more than 65 copyright certificates for inventions and patents. He was a well-known specialist in Russia and abroad in the field of technology of composite and refractory non-metallic materials for special purposes, functional and structural ceramics. Under his leadership, new erosion-resistant high-temperature materials and protective coatings were developed, the production technology of which was introduced at a number of enterprises in the country.
With the direct participation of Askold Beketov, more than 1,600 specialists were trained for high-tech industries. 26 candidates and five doctors of science were trained. For many years he was an active member of the academic council of USTU-UPI, chairman of two dissertation councils, worked as deputy dean of the Faculty of Physics and Technology (1967-1972), dean of the Faculty of Physics (1986-2004), and advisor to the rector on nuclear education (2004- 2007), head of the Center for Nuclear Industry Technologies (2002-2010), president of the Ural Branch of the ATN of the Russian Federation (since 1994).
For his conscientious long-term work, Askold Beketov was awarded the “Order of Honor” and the medal “For Valiant Labor. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin”, the badge of the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR “For excellent success in work”, gold and bronze medals of VDNKh, Certificates of Honor of the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR, State Education of the USSR, Ministry of Atomic Energy of Russia, awarded the title “Honorary Worker of Higher Education” ", "Veteran of the nuclear industry." Included in the university honor book.
Askold Beketov was a wonderful person, a happy father, his love of life and energy seemed to have no limits. The memory of this outstanding person and scientist will forever remain in our hearts.
The team of the Physicotechnical Institute of UrFU expresses deep condolences to the family and friends of Askold Beketov, his colleagues, friends, and students.
The farewell will take place on Friday, October 26, in the lobby of the Physicotechnical Institute from 10:00. The funeral will be held in the canteen of the UrFU food processing plant, Sofya Kovalevskaya 5a. Starts at 15:00.
UrFU is a participant in Project 5-100, the key result of which should be the emergence in Russia by 2020 of modern leading universities with an effective management structure and an international academic reputation, capable of setting trends in the development of global higher education.
The building is located in the center of Yekaterinburg - opposite the Opera and Ballet Theater, it is convenient to reach from anywhere in the city. There are many cafes, canteens, etc. nearby. True, during the break (long break from 13.50 to 14.30 - 40 minutes) they are full of students, and it is often difficult to find a place or you have to stand in line for a long time, but nevertheless.
I am a 2nd year student, on a budget-funded form of education.
Regarding studying at a university:
Pros (applies only to my faculty):
- Very qualified teachers
- Availability of media audiences
- Good renovation (offices, restrooms, main hall)
- Cleanliness at the faculty (the floors are constantly washed and tidied, and this does not bring any inconvenience)
- Availability of many scientific, artistic, etc. publications (subscription to the library, incredibly convenient and cozy reading room with many sections and separate zones, equipped with computers with Internet access) (all this is located in the building nearby, on Turgeneva, 4, you can get there through the passage)
- There are also separate libraries: a history room, an art history room, a rare books department, etc.
- Temperature in the building: always warm. We don’t wear jackets in winter, but in summer we can ventilate the classrooms. Comfortable.
- Availability of two guarded wardrobes
- No bribes (I think this should be listed as a plus, because I see that many universities have this problem). Never paid for an appraisal and no one ever asked for it.
- I think it’s a HUGE PLUS that for almost 2 years while I’ve been studying here, I’ve never heard any of the teachers, methodologists, assistants or other workers not only insult me or anyone else, but never even voice didn't raise! At the faculty, everyone treats each other with respect and warmth, and will always help with advice (for which special thanks to the inspector of the dean’s office, Ch. A. E., who has incredible patience, endurance and a big, responsive heart!)
- I consider the existing mentoring system to be ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE: senior students help first-year students get comfortable at the university. A freshman who comes from school to university usually looks scared, or at least definitely nervous. The mentor helps him in everything: introduces him to the group, explains where the classrooms are, the restrooms, how to get to the library, how to find a teacher, what to do if you have lost your student card and much more, and most importantly, the freshman sees next to him a person who has already gone through everything this and therefore experiences much less stress. I had mentors who helped a lot. And this year I myself am a mentor and still support my freshmen.
Minuses:
- The point-rating system by which we study (this means that all your work and answers will be assessed by points; the system does not always work properly, but, as a rule, all shortcomings are resolved, and no problems arise in the end, but this takes away the nerves and tires. Moreover, in such a system, the student’s motivation is often not knowledge, but getting a high score)
- Dining room: long lines, sometimes you don’t have time for a couple because of this. Therefore, most of our students bring yoghurts, apples, bars, etc. with them to university.
- The building in which physical education takes place is not in building No. 1, and not even nearby, but close to the building on the street. Mira (i.e., go 6 stops, almost in a straight line, but you still need to go).
General information: since last year, our physical education has been divided into sections. Those. there is the opportunity to engage in athletics, swimming, fitness, and recreational physical exercise (for those with health problems) (there are about 30 sections in total, if I’m not mistaken). But you don’t always (and even often) end up in the wrong place. But in principle, everyone gets used to it over time.
I can say that, on the whole, I am very pleased with the university. Our faculty has a Center for Contemporary Culture, where various exhibitions are organized (including by the students themselves). This is interesting! And it’s very nice to see such an environment around you.
CONCERNING THE HOSTELS.
I myself do not live in a hostel.
But two of my classmates are not local. They live in a hostel, no one kicks them out. They needed to fill out some documents for the renewal (I know all this because I am the headman), everything was legal.
