‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

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.

Mobile Web Surveys: A Total Survey Error Perspective

Ch. 7. P. 133–154.
Couper M. P., Antoun C., Mavletova A. M.

While mobile phones or cell phones have been a challenge for telephone survey researchers for
some time, the Internet or Web capabilities of mobile phones have begun to receive attention in
the last few years. There are a number of ways that Internet-enabled smartphones can affect
survey data collection, and the implications of these for various sources of errors are only
now being fully explored. There are three broad approaches to the opportunities and challenges
posed by mobile Web.

Grid and Item-by-Item Formats in PC and Mobile Web Surveys
Mavletova A. M., Couper M. P., Lebedev D., Social Science Computer Review 2018 Vol. 36 No. 6 P. 647–668
While grids or matrix questions are a widely used format in PC web surveys, there is no agreement on the format in mobile web surveys. We conducted a two-wave experiment in an opt in panel in Russia, varying the question format (grid format and item-by-item format) and device respondents used for survey completion (smartphone and ...

Device use in web surveys: The effect of differential incentives
Mavletova A. M., Couper M. P., International Journal of Market Research 2016 Vol. 58 No. 4 P. 523–544
Previous studies have not found effective ways of encouraging participants to use smartphones to complete web surveys. We hypothesize that conditional differential incentives (the amount depending on the device the respondent uses to complete the web survey) can increase overall participation rates and the proportion of respondents who use a particular device in web surveys. ...

A Meta-Analysis of Breakoff Rates in Mobile Web Surveys
Mavletova A. M., Couper M. P., , in: Mobile Research Methods: Opportunities and challenges of mobile research methodologies.: L.: Ubiquity, 2015. P. 81–98.
In this paper, we conduct a meta-analysis of breakoff rates in mobile web surveys. We test if an optimization of web surveys for mobile devices, invitation mode (SMS vs. e-mail), survey length, expected duration in the invitation, survey design (scrolling vs. paging), prerecruitment, number of reminders, design complexity (grids, drop-down questions, sliders, images, progress indicator), ...

Grouping of Items in Mobile Web Questionnaires
Mavletova A. M., Couper M., Field Methods 2016 Vol. 28 No. 2 P. 170–193
There is some evidence that a scrolling design may reduce breakoffs in mobile web surveys compared to a paging design, but there is little empirical evidence to guide the choice of the optimal number of items per page. We investigate the effect of the number of items presented on a page on data quality in ...

Mobile Web Survey Design: Scrolling versus Paging, SMS versus E-mail Invitations
Mavletova A. M., Couper M. P., Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology 2014 Vol. 2 No. 4 P. 498–518
There is some evidence that questionnaire design (scrolling or paging) and invitation mode (SMS or e-mail) have an impact on response rates in web surveys completed on personal computers (PCs). This paper examines whether these findings can be generalized to mobile web surveys. First, we explore the effect of scrolling versus paging design on the ...

Sensitive Topics in PC Web and Mobile Web Surveys: Is There a Di fference?
Mavletova A. M., Couper M., Survey Research Methods 2013 Vol. 7 No. 3 P. 191–205
A large number of findings in survey research suggest that responses to sensitive questions are situational and can vary in relation to context. The methodological literature demonstrates that social desirability biases are less prevalent in self-administered surveys, particularly in Web surveys, when there is no interviewer and less risk of presenting oneself in an unfavorable ...

Data Quality in PC and Mobile Web Surveys
Mavletova A. M., Social Science Computer Review 2013 Vol. 31 No. 6 P. 725–743
The considerable growth in the number of smart mobile devices with a fast Internet connection provides new challenges for survey researchers. In this article, I compare the data quality between two survey modes: self-administered web surveys conducted via personal computer and those conducted via mobile phones. Data quality is compared based on five indicators: (a) ...
