Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.
The HSE International Laboratory for Logic, Linguistics and Formal Philosophy studies logic and rationality in a transformed world characterised by a diversity of logical systems and rational agents. The laboratory supports and develops academic ties with Russian and international partners. The HSE News Service spoke with the head of the laboratory, Prof. Elena Dragalina-Chernaya, about its work.
Ilya Venediktov graduated from the Master’s programme at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics through the combined Master’s–PhD track and is currently studying at the HSE Doctoral School of Engineering Sciences. At present, he is undertaking a long-term research internship at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, where he is preparing his dissertation. In this interview, he explains how an internship differs from an academic mobility programme, discusses his research topic, and describes the daily life of a Russian doctoral student in China.

Results of Chebyshev and Bernstein about polynomials with the smallest deviation from zero in a weighted norm are extended to entire functions of exponential type. Suppose that a function \rho_m belongs to the Cartwright class, is of type m, and is positive on the real axis. Let \sigma\geqslant m. Functions that have the smallest deviation ...

For more than a century, the constructive description of functional classes in terms of the possible rate of approximation of its functions by means of functions chosen from a certain set remains among the most important problems of approximation theory. It turns out that the nonuniformity of the approximation rate due between the points of ...
