HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Digital Transformation and Internationalization of SMEs: Digital Maturity as a Tool for Overcoming Institutional Barriers

Ymer. 2025. No. 3. P. 1064–1081.
Sikachev A.

This article examines how digital maturity can enhance the resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the dynamic institutional environment of emerging economies. Using in-depth interviews from two companies—a transportation business reliant on physical infrastructure and an online travel agency built around digital platforms—the study finds that enterprises dependent on capital-intensive assets face greater vulnerability to sanctions, banking restrictions, and logistical costs. In contrast, firms with robust digital infrastructure can swiftly adapt to regulatory changes and implement alternative payment solutions. The research highlights that adopting digital tools and flexible partnerships enables SMEs to reduce transaction costs and maintain international expansion despite institutional barriers.

Bounds on the derivatives of the log-cumulative distribution function of the multivariate normal distribution
Potanin B., Dolgikh S., Statistics and Probability Letters 2027 Article 110984
We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

When do institutional actors drive green innovation adoption vs. generation? Evidence from tax, customer, and network pressures
Aleksandra Sidorenko, International Journal of Management and Sustainability 2026 Vol. 15 No. 2 P. 330–344
The prevailing approach in green innovation research merges adoption and generation into a single measurement, and while traditional innovation studies indicate that these modes can have dissimilar antecedents, this distinction remains unexplored for green innovation. Addressing this gap, this study draws on institutional theory to examine which specific institutional actors: state authorities (environmental tax), corporate ...

The crowd is your ace: Playing FMCG’s internationalization game
Tekic A., Nguen C. M., Business Horizons 2026 Article In Press, Journal Pre-proof
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms face intense pressure to internationalize, yet the traditional playbook—lengthy R&D cycles, costly market research, and standardized campaigns—often struggles to deliver local relevance at speed. This article argues that crowdsourcing—digitally mediated, large-scale consumer participation—can complement established internationalization tools by mobilizing local knowledge and community endorsement to mitigate key aspects of the ...
