Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

Use of Virtual Reality Technology for Training Standing Shooting, Postural Balance, and Rifle Stability in Biathlon: A Pilot Study

Psychology. Journal of the Higher School of Economics. 2025. Vol. 22. No. 3. P. 434–448.
I.S. Polikanova, Gasanov A. A., Leonov S. V.

Success in biathlon depends on physical fitness, psychophysiological parameters, and biomechanics. Key aspects include the speed and accuracy of shooting, which affect body oscillations and the stability of the "body-rifle" system. The level of stress, environmental conditions, and ski preparation are also important. This study is aimed to provide a thorough theoretical analysis of the factors affecting the standing shooting performance in biathlon, and to conduct a pilot study using VR to validate it as a training tool based on the observed parameters. This study utilized the Biathlon-2024 Virtual Environment, which simulated skiing and standing shooting in classical biathlon. This Virtual Environment is developed on Unity 3D platform and includes two stages: 1) VR skiing, 2) shooting. Subjects performed shooting at virtual targets, whereby the VR visualization fully simulated a biathlon shooting range. The results confirmed that stability of bodyrifle system is crucial for successful shooting in biathlon. It was observed that elite athletes demonstrate a better postural balance and a lower sway compared to beginners. The data analysis obtained with Antilatency system trackers showed a distinct correlation between the limb and rifle positions, which highlights the importance of a fine postural control and reaction time when shooting. The study emphasizes that success in biathlon depends not only on physical fitness and shooting techniques, but also on environment, psychophysiology, and individual attributes such as tremor. This therefore makes an integrated approach to athlete training essential for high performance.
