Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

The Determinants of Sporting Success in the Brazilian Football League

International Journal of Sport Finance. 2018. Vol. 13. No. 2. P. 183–197.
Angel Barajas, Thadeu Gasparetto

The determinants of sporting success in Olympic Games and international football
have been analysed. Nevertheless, few studies are found on football club-level. The
aim of this paper is to identify the determinants of sporting success at professional
club-level studying the Brazilian League. The dataset comprises all 30 football clubs
that competed in the First Division of the Brazilian League from 2010 to 2014. The
econometric approach consists in an ordered logit regression. The dependent variable
is the final position of each club. The findings reveal that team payroll, placement in
a city with higher standard of living, the number of previous participations and a
current title in the State Championships maximize the likelihood of success. However,
the number of players used negatively affects the sporting performance. The
peculiarities of Brazilian football are used to discuss the findings. Further papers on
European football are recommended as some determinants could vary.
