This theoretical article examines the persistent problem of the “leaky pipeline” for women in
Nigerian higher education, where increased representation in male-dominated STEM fields is undermined

interpretive synthesis, it aims to demonstrate how the concept of reflexive modernization explains why
stereotype threats ...

Механизм происходящих в мире изменений носит эволюционный, а не экологический характер. Иначе говоря, Человечество столкнулось с кризисом развития, который имеет три независимые составляющие: кризис индустриального общества (фазовый кризис), кризис научного мышления (эпистемный кризис) и кризис формата существования разума (социосистемный кризис). Доклад посвящён аспектам этого триединого кризиса и возможным путям его преодоления, не сводящимся к первичному ...

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched
in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression
across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong
promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...

AI literally comes to us from the future, not because it exists in some distant temporal reality, but because we, by attempting to construct an expected future through the experiences and affections evoked in us by the idea of AI, are unwittingly creating the conditions for the future's sudden arrival. No matter how much we ...

The digital today constitutes an environment of affects: it touches, enchants, captivates, incites, and frightens. What it does not do, however, is provide knowledge; rather, it takes knowledge away. Previously, the subject of cognition was the human being, though cognition itself was largely grounded in institutions, social contacts, performative rituals, and the activity of human-scale ...

“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 ...

«Левиафан» Томаса Гоббса — один из самых известных политических трактатов. Его название, отсылающее к ветхозаветному чудовищу, стало нарицательным для обозначения государства — всемогущего и безжалостного. Интерпретации знаменитой книги, впервые вышедшей в свет в 1651 году, продолжают множиться. а феномен «возвращения государства», о котором заговорили с концом глобализации, делает политическую философию Гоббса еще более актуальной.
