Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

‘Speech, Facial Expressions, and Gestures Cannot Lie
Would you like to know whether a speaker’s trembling voice or an accidental gesture can give them away? At HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod, researchers are developing an algorithm that analyses speech, facial expressions, and gestures, and determines whether information is truthful with 92% accuracy. The project has applications ranging from forensic examination and bank recruitment to fundamental research. Anna Khomenko, head of the research group and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Language and Brain at the HSE Faculty of Humanities in Nizhny Novgorod, explains how students and researchers are working together to create a corpus of video recordings, train a classifier, and prepare to introduce computer vision technology.

The Economically Inactive Population in Russia

Sociological Research. 2016. Vol. 55. No. 4. P. 274–290.
Varshavskaia E., Denisenko M.

This work is an analysis of the level and dynamics of economic inactivity in Russia in the 2000s, describing the main sociodemographic characteristicsof economically inactive people and the reasons for their nonparticipation, making a cross-country comparison of Russia and the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The empirical basis consists of population surveys on employment issues. The reserves for increasing the labor supply from those ages twenty-five to forty-nine are found to be almost exhausted for women and significantly limited for men. Reduction of economic inactivity of the population is possible mainly by drawing on younger and older people. This requires institutional and socioeconomic changes (increasing the retirement age, increasing the diversity of forms of employment, creating opportunities for combining study and work, improving health, etc.).

Факторы устойчивой интеграции университетских музеев в образовательный процесс
Rossinskaya A., Борусяк Л. Ф., Киктева К. С. et al., Высшее образование в России 2026 Т. 35 № 7 С. 144–168
Статья посвящена анализу образовательной деятельности университетских музеев России. Актуальность исследования обусловлена противоречием между высоким образовательным потенциалом музеев и фрагментарностью его реализации, а также отсутствием в литературе системного анализа условий интеграции музеев в учебный процесс высшей школы. Несмотря на признание музеев важными центрами сохранения наследия и популяризации науки, вопрос об их реальной включённости в повседневную образовательную жизнь вузов ...

Формирование экономики замкнутого цикла: анализ инструментов вовлечения потребителей в практики ответственного потребления
Kolesnik N. A., Общество и экономика 2026 № 1-2 С. 114–134
Стремительно растущее население планеты и рост объемов индивидуального потребления при низкой включенности населения в экологические практики признается ключевым препятствием на пути к экономике замкнутого цикла. В статье анализируется использование огромного рекламно-коммуникационного потенциала крупных торговых сетей для вовлечения населения в экономику замкнутого цикла через повышение экологической сознательности и популяризацию ответственного потребления. Эмпирической основой исследования стала база данных коммуникации шести ...

Что такое Свобода? Свобода воли, свободы личности, конституционная модель и законодательное регулирование
Момджян К. Х., Кржевов В. С., Poddiakov A. et al., М.: Новые печатные технологии, 2025.
При всей кажущейся ясности и недвусмысленности понятия «свобода» дать ему исчерпывающую научную дефиницию весьма затруднительно. У каждой отрасли знания свой подход к трактовке этого многоаспектного понятия. В ходе обсуждения, материалы которого вошли в настоящий сборник, свобода рассматривается с позиций философии, социологии, юриспруденции, психологии, нейрофизиологии и т.д. Участники дискуссии рассуждают о границах свободы воли и субъектности человека, о соотношении свободы и ...

Sociological texts on zombies are mostly interested in human problems (capitalism, pop culture, etc), not in zombies as such. Zombies as a specific form of (non) life remain a blindspot for sociologists. Scientists of other disciplines, like epidemiology and neurosciences, have already declared their ways for studying zombies. Our task is to outline the concepts ...

Mapping Business Model Adaptation: A Systematic Review of Definitions, Antecedents, and Typological Patterns
Boltachev M., Ymer 2026 Vol. 25 No. 8 P. 130–161
The field of business model adaptation (BMA) remains conceptually fragmented: definitions, antecedents, and typological patterns are scattered across isolated empirical studies, precluding cumulative theory-building. This systematic review aims to synthesise the existing literature on BMA by mapping how the construct is defined, what drives it, and what typological patterns can be identified. Following the SPAR-4-SLR ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
