Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Development and validation of the Mental Health Self-Care Scale for the general adult population

Public Health. 2026. Vol. 258. Article 106405.
Mikhaylova O., Zhyrgalbek J., Sofia Yanis, Valyaeva D., Serebrennaya E., Ekaterina Fedotenkova, Nikita Bogachev, Ekaterina Bochanova, Fomicheva E., Maksimova O., Zyrenova R.

Objectives: To develop and psychometrically validate the Mental Health Self-Care Scale (MHSCS) for assessing mental health self-care behaviours in the general adult population.

Study design: Cross-sectional survey.

Methods: A 62-item initial pool grounded in the updated Middle Range Theory of Self-Care was refined through expert review (n = 11) and cognitive interviewing (n = 24), then administered to 600 Russian adults recruited via an online panel. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Criterion-related validity was examined using correlations and adjusted linear and logistic regression models predicting depressive symptom severity and clinically significant depression (PHQ-8).

Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported a six-factor structure (Basic Routines, Active Lifestyle, Existential, Self-Compassion, Health-Adaptive, Professional Engagement) comprising 45 items (CFI = 0.826, TLI = 0.815, RMSEA = 0.052, SRMR = 0.060). Subscale reliability was acceptable (McDonald’s omega 0.737–0.883). Higher Existential, Active Lifestyle, Basic Routines, and Self-Compassion scores were associated with lower PHQ-8 scores, whereas Professional Engagement and Health-Adaptive scores were associated with higher PHQ-8 scores. Basic Routines and Self-Compassion were associated with lower odds of clinically significant depression, while Professional Engagement and Health-Adaptive behaviours were associated with higher odds.

Conclusions: The MHSCS provides a multidimensional, theory-informed measure of mental health self-care behaviours in the general adult population. The findings support preliminary use in public health and research settings, with further refinement and cross-cultural validation warranted.
