Researchers Discover How Spelling Errors Slow Down Reading in Russian
Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.

HSE Develops App for Assessing Phonological Processing in Children
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.

Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

It is suggested in the article that a closer examination of the manuscript readings might help to explain two notoriously problematic items in Pliny the Elder's list of Egyptian nomes (NH 5.49), viz. Latopolites and Panopolites, both placed out of the geographic order. In particular, it is argued that the inclusion of both readings in ...

Географ и правитель: «География» Страбона как дидактическое произведение
Samokhvalova N., В кн.: Атлантика. Записки по исторической поэтике. Вып. XVIВып. XVI.: М.: МГУ, МАКС Пресс, 2019. С. 95–106.
Считая географию частью философии, Страбон создаёт произведение, призванное наставлять государственного деятеля и сопоставимое по всеохватности с политическими достижениями Римской Империи. Осмысление закономерностей политического, социального и культурного развития племен оказывается важнее практических географических сведений, которые Страбон не считает необходимыми для его адресата. Дидактизм «Географии», обращенный к правителю, и создание «империи знания», которая одновременно и служит пользе государства и сопоставима с ним ...

О заключительном параграфе Херсонесской присяги
Makarov I., В кн.: Pentekontaetia. Исследования по античной истории и культуре.: М., СПб.: Издательство РХГА, 2018. С. 296–298.
Статья посвящена интерпретации заключительной части присяги граждан Херсонеса Таврического. Трудности интерпретации этого параграфа, как показал автор, следует объяснять ошибочным присоединением В.В. Латышевым фрагмента, хранящегося в Херсонесском музее к основному тексту полисной клятвы. Осмотр памятника в музейных фондах подтвердил принадлежность этого фрагмента другой херсонесской надписи, являвшейся скорее всего посвящением или эпитафией. Это позволило предложить новое восстановление текста надписи ...

Варвары, греки и римляне в "Географии" Страбона: стратегии географического нарратива
Samokhvalova N., В кн.: Атлантика. Записки по исторической поэтикеВып. XIV.: М.: МАКС Пресс, 2017. С. 100–109.
Хронологическая неоднородность исторического нарратива Страбона объясняется различными способами, от утверждений о компилятивной природе его "Географии" до стремления автора исследовать прежде всего пути развития и взаимодействия народов. В свете последнего объяснения в статье анализируется стратегия описания варваров, греков и римлян в "Географии". Классический подход, выделяющий ряд бинарных оппозиций ("греки vs варвары", "римляне vs неримляне" и "цивилизованные ...
