When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

The Politics of Curatorial Themes: Immortality from Conception to Display in the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art

Journal of Curatorial Studies. 2021. Vol. 10. No. 1. P. 72–92.
Philimonos A., Kompatsiaris P.

Using the fifth edition of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art: Immortality (Yekaterinburg, 2019) as a case study, this article examines the inconsistencies across a curatorial theme, its development in discourse, and its materialization in the exhibition. The article posits that these inconsistencies stem from fraught relationships between the global and the local developed by the curatorial framing of the exhibition’s principal theme ‐ immortality and its relations with Russian cosmism. Through exploring the politics of biennial themes, the article puts pressure on the idea of the curator as the indisputable author and highlights the complex politics involved in curatorial practice, such as the contradictions that can occur between the conceptualizing of a theme and its materialization in an exhibition.

Когда ссылки ведут в никуда: как работать с библиографией, созданной ИИ. Статья 9
Fedorov A., Современная библиотека 2026 № 4 С. 34–39
В статье рассматривается актуальная проблема появления «библиографических конфабуляций» (галлюцинаций) в списках литературы, созданных с помощью генеративного искусственного интеллекта. Автор анализирует механизмы возникновения таких ошибок, объясняя их способностью больших языковых моделей генерировать статистически правдоподобный, но фактически недостоверный текст, не обращаясь к реальным базам данных. Предложена системная типология библиографических искажений: полная фабрикация, «химеры» (гибридные ссылки из фрагментов ...

They are sites of a seemingly peaceful cohabitation between the elitist and the popular, where the likes of Jeff Koons encounter the ...
