Brain in Space: What Happens to the Human Nervous System in Weightlessness
While Roscosmos is discussing future manned flights to Mars, NASA plans to open the International Space Station for commercial tourism, and SpaceX is testing its Starship Mars prototype, scientists are seriously concerned about the impact of prolonged stay in space on the human body. While the effects of weightlessness on bones, muscles and the vestibular system are well known, how the human brain copes with microgravity has yet to be fully examined. IQ.HSE has compiled the latest research on this topic.

Microgravity Changes Brain Connectivity: What Happens to the Human Brain in Weightlessness
An international team of Russian and Belgian researchers has found out that space travel has a significant impact on the brain: they discovered that cosmonauts demonstrate changes in  brain connectivity related to perception and movement. Some areas, such as regions in the insular and parietal cortices, work more synchronously with other brain areas after the space flight. On the other hand,  connectivity of some other regions, such as the cerebellum and vestibular nuclei,  decreases. The results of the study were published in Frontiers in Physiology.

Democracy Isn’t for Everyone: Russians Adopt Western Values but See Them in Their Own Way
Europe wants to live in a democracy. This is especially true for residents of countries of Northern Europe, but less so for those of former socialist countries, especially Russia. While almost everyone has a positive attitude towards democracy, people have different understandings of it. Alla Salmina studied the relationship between attitudes and understandings of it using the data of 28 countries that participated in the European Social Survey (ESS).

Тенденции развития вариативности в согласовании сказуемого с подлежащим, включающим числительное "несколько"

С. 99-103.
Кувшинская Ю. М.

The paper deals with the development of predicate agreement with the quantifier phrase, containing "neskolko", during 18-21 centuries. Analyzing the data of the National Russian lcorpus and the results of statistic research of the 60-70s, as well as debating with the conception proposed by the author's team included M. Krasovitsky, G.Corbett and others, the author offers an explanation for the inconsistency fluctuations of the predicate in a number observed in expressions  with "neskolko". Given the influence of speech sphere on a predicate number choice, the author concludes that the expressions, including "neskolko" demonstrates a clear trend to the choice of a plural predicate agreement.

Числовые формы сказуемого при подлежащем, выраженном количественно-именным сочетанием: современные тенденции (по данным НКРЯ).
Кувшинская Ю. М. В кн.: Русистика в начале третьего тысячелетия: проблемы, итоги, перспективы.. Петрозаводск: Петрозаводский государственный университет, 2012. С. 72-76.

The article deals with the problem of the predicate number choice in the quantifier expressions with the definite quantifier meaning. On the base of the data for the last decade (2000-2010) from the National Russian Corpus the main factors that influence the predicate agreement are discovered. The special attention is paid to the conditions that cause the singular predicate.

О коммуникативной обусловленности предикативного согласования с именными группами со значением неопределенного количества
Кувшинская Ю. М. Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. Труды института лингвистических исследований. 2015. Т. XI. № 2. С. 659-688.

The paper is focused on the influence of Theme-Rheme-structure on predicate agreement with quantifier phrases which contain a mention of an indefinite quantity. The author considers the dependence of the predicate choice on theme or rheme position of the quantifier phrase and reveals that the possibility of implementing different Theme-Rheme structures and its influence on predicate choice are unequal in the sentences with different quantifiers. The communicative conditions for singular or plural predicate agreement with quantifier phrases which contain neskolko, mnogo, nemalo, are described. The author concludes that singular predicate corresponds to the focus on the quantifier phrase (rhematic position or thematic position in contrast), the plural choice is conditioned by the focus on the other part of the sentence. Some specific communicative strategies such as superposition of rheme are considered.

Согласование сказуемого с именной группой, включающей слова "сколько", "столько", "много", "немало", "несколько"
Кувшинская Ю. М. Научно-техническая информация. Серия 2: Информационные процессы и системы. 2014. № 9. С. 24-32.

This study considers predicate agreement with quantifier phrases that include the words neskolko, stolko, skolko, mnogo, nemalo. We analyze the evolution of  predicate agreement with neskolko, stolko, skolko, nemalo and mnogo and describe the modern standard of usage based on the data from the Russian National Corpus. The influence of grammatical properties of the numeral on the predicate choice as well as certain factors that favor  the non-typical plural predicate (such as predicate  type, animacy of the NP, syntactic  structure of the NP) are also considered.
