The book contains new models of bibliometric analysis based on centrality measures in network analysis, pattern analysis and stability analysis. A distinctive feature of these centrality measures is that they account for the parameters of vertices and group influence of vertices to a vertex. This reveals specific groups of publications, authors, terms, journals and affiliations ...

Beginning in the mid-1920s Aleksandr Vvedensky, Daniil Kharms,
and Konstantin Vaginov became acquainted with the circle of the poet, writer, and
playwright Mikhail Kuzmin, and by the close of this decade, they became regular
visitors to his residence. The interactions between Kuzmin and the Oberiuts has
been sufficiently developed; however, numerous studies have shifted the focus to the
pragmatics of ...

Contemporary education faces a fundamental problem: students often acquire
factual knowledge but struggle to develop a systematic understanding of a discipline. This is
particularly relevant in the humanities, which require working with ambiguous concepts and
interdisciplinary connections. In this context, the concept of threshold concepts — key ideas
that transform and integrate subject matter — presents a systemic solution ...

The analytical possibilities of using semantic network analysis in qualitative research are considered. A scheme for constructing a semantic map and its integration with the results of the qualitative stage is proposed. It is shown that the implementation of semantic networks for analyzing qualitative data enables validation of conclusions. ...

The proposed article makes the readers focus on the evolution and prospects of social science education in Russia, taking into consideration the reform of the school subject curriculum of 2024. The importance of considering social science education is motivated not only by its perception as a tool of consolidation and state-building, but also by the ...

It has long been generally accepted in Political Science that distributed elite networks, rather than institutions, are crucial to the functioning of the Russian political system. One of the important factors in the formation of such networks is ethnicity. Of particular interest is the ethnic dynamics in those regions, where there is no dominant ethnic ...

This study examines methods for assessing the levels of abstraction of scientific concepts, which, unlike everyday concepts, often lack explicit representation in daily experience. The aim is to systematise approaches to their classification by abstraction level and develop a method based on concept maps and dictionary definitions. Using a sample of seven experts in statistical ...

This study examines concepts as systemic elements within a conceptual structure, drawing on the theoretical framework of L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology. A key characteristic of concepts is their level of abstraction, which reflects their degree of generalization within a system. However, existing classification methods lack a unified approach, complicating empirical research. The current study aimed ...

The present study is devoted to the phenomenon of gerrymandering on the example of US Congressional elections. The boundaries of US Congressional electoral districts were used for the analysis. The division of states into districts was based on census data from 2000 to 2020. Data on small administrative units (counties) similarly relied on census data. ...

Cognitive load theory describes the mechanisms for the transfer of information from human working memory to long-term memory. This theory posits that increasing the number of interactive elements, such as interconnections, may increase cognitive load. This study investigates the impact of interconnections in concept maps on cognitive load, exploring whether they act as interactive elements ...

In light of the “gardening” of the public sphere in autocracies, the question of how power is distributed in the media field calls for empirical investigation. We use computational methods of network analysis, topic modeling, and semantic analysis to test if the Russian media landscape is organized around the three “publics” as suggested by earlier ...

Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are regarded as ideal breeding ground for knowledge-intensive entrepreneurs (KIEs). Yet, as EEs are mostly considered isolated from each other and their connectedness is neglected, there is a lack of research on their capacity to attract KIEs rather than to locally nurturing them. Inadequate data has been a major obstacle to this ...

New centrality indices Bundle and Pivotal, were introduced to identify key vertices taking into account parameters of vertices and an influence of vertices to a vertex. However, the Bundle and Pivotal indices are constructed in that way that they do not take into account directly the weights of arcs – important information about interaction among vertices ...

This paper explores the use of the Core Discussion Network (CDN) methodology for analyzing personal networks. We discuss the method’s origins and the specifics of its implementation, followed by a brief overview of findings from international studies. Using data collected in 2021 from 270 first-year undergraduate and graduate students at a top-tier Russian university, we ...

The situation of deep uncertainty is defined by the absence of any statistical evaluations of the situation development. For instance, such situations may include events that occur for the first time. We use scenario analysis to model the potential outcomes of events affecting networks under deep uncertainty. Centrality indices are used to identify vulnerable vertices ...

This study examines how conceptual maps can be used in secondary school history, geography, and social studies courses to empirically test the thresholds of concepts. This helps to connect different subjects in the learning process. The results show that the integrative characteristics of threshold concepts help in the formation of a system that, as a ...

Identification of central elements in networks is an ill-defined problem. Hence, a large number of centrality measures have been proposed in the literature. We present a survey of existing axioms, which characterize certain properties of centralities. We also perform a perturbation analysis of centrality measures in real and artificial networks. ...

We propose new models to find the vulnerable countries in terms of food security. These models are based on network analysis under deep uncertainty. The conditions of deep uncertainty affect the supply and demand of food, namely, carbohydrates of the countries. Under such conditions networks of the carbohydrate supply between countries are constructed. The countries ...
