The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
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.

Vulnerable sides of cities aiming for carbon neutrality: contribution of wastewater treatment plants and landfill sludge disposal to greenhouse gas emissions

Environmental Science and Pollution Research. 2026. Vol. 33. No. 8. P. 3252–3265.
Dregulo A.

The present study focuses on greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment and sewage sludge disposal at landfill. Traces of ammonium, dihydrosulfide, phenol, formaldehyde, various hydrocarbons, and mercaptans have been identified. The dynamics of these gases are especially intense during the purification process from grids to aerotanks. Methane concentrations fluctuated more than sixfold in the wastewater treatment cycle, while methane concentrations exceeded those of other compounds by more than 40–100 times. Greenhouse gas emissions from sewage sludge landfills were observed 10 years after cessation of unstable sludge disposal. The highest emissions occurred in the summer and autumn, accounting for up to 50% of annual emissions. The detected traces of pollution in the air near the border of the sanitary protection zone showed an increase in dihydrosulfide concentrations exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations (MPC). Results provide new insights into improving mechanisms for reducing greenhouse gas emissions both inside and outside the treatment plant site and for monitoring these emissions.

Balaban M., Vasilizhenko A., Karachurina L. B. et al., Regional Research of Russia 2026 Vol. 16 No. 1 P. 151–169
The population dynamics of settlements are determined by many different factors, including, as research shows, the availability of educational and healthcare facilities (i.e., basic social infrastructure) close to home. One can assume a two-way relationship: a decrease in population entails a reduction in the number of assigned students in schools and healthcare institutions and, as a result, the ...

Социально-экономическая география зарубежных стран: материалы к курсу. Часть 1. Основные концепции региональной наук
Zamyatina N., Rusakov D., Evgeny V., Издательские решения, 2022.
Десятилетиями социально‑экономическая география зарубежных стран представляла собой по большей части сбор данных о размещении отраслей хозяйства — с довольно слабой концептуальной базой соответствующих процессов. Это не удивительно, если вспомнить, что отечественная экономическая география занималась размещением хозяйства в условиях социализма. Сама возможность применения отечественных концепций к «зарубежным капиталистическим странам» вызывала жаркие споры в профессиональной среде отечественных экономгеографов — многие представители старшего поколения помнят, как ломались копья в дискуссии о том, например, возможны ли территориально‑производственные комплексы в условиях капитализма. Между тем параллельно в «зарубежных капиталистических странах» формировались целые группы научных школ в сфере изучения размещения хозяйства и регионального развития, зачастую на стыке региональной экономики и собственно экономической географии (за рубежом всё чаще используется обобщающее наименование — региональная наука, или региональные исследования: regional science/regional studies). Анализируя экономико‑географические проблемы зарубежных стран, современные исследователи используют широкий набор понятий, сложившихся в последние примерно три десятилетия, и пока ещё, к сожалению, довольно слабо знакомых отечественным географам (от «перетоков знания» до «тройной спирали»). Часть зарубежных разработок — вроде теории кластерного развития — вошли и в отечественную науку; однако нередко зарубежные концепции используются в несколько суженной и искажённой трактовке (как правило, в силу инерции парадигм мышления, чуждых используемым концепциям). Зачастую исследователи, наоборот, не видят потенциал применения тех или иных концепций на нетрадиционном материале. Институт регионального консалтинга (ИРК), в котором начинали свой путь в профессиональную аналитику уже десятки выпускников кафедры социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран географического факультета МГУ, принял решение способствовать овладению актуальными концепциями в сфере региональной науки как студентами указанной кафедры, так и всеми российскими исследователями в сфере экономической географии и регионального развития. При финансовой и организационной поддержке ИРК уже подготовлена серия учебных пособий «Институт регионального консалтинга — студентам». Ранее вышедшее пособие «Эволюционное страноведение: материалы к курсу. Часть 1. Смета траектории регионального и странового развития: разбор примеров» призвано продемонстрировать спектр возможностей применения актуальных концепций региональной науки в страноведении и анализе развития отдельных регионов России и зарубежных стран (в 2022 году подготовлено второе издание пособия, исправленное и дополненное). Для нового пособия по социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран отобраны ключевые (на взгляд редактора) направления, необходимые современному специалисту для понимания развития мировой региональной науки. В абсолютном большинстве это концепции актуальной экономической географии; кроме того, добавлены экономические понятия, без знания которых затруднено понимание мейнстрима региональной науки (так, например, тема убывающей и возрастающей отдачи является ключевой для понимания направления так называемой «новой экономической географии» в экономике), а также системы популярных прикладных мер в региональном развитии («новая промышленная политика», понятие «зависимости от колеи» и др.). Разумеется, это не исчерпывающий спектр концепций и подходов экономической географии (не говоря уже о том, что в пособии совсем не затронуты концепции социальной и других направлений общественной географии); работа над подготовкой новых материалов продолжается. Появлению пособия в немалой степени поспособствовал труд магистранта кафедры социально‑экономической географии зарубежных стран географического факультета МГУ имени М. В. Ломоносова Фёдора Чернецкого в рамках прохождения производственной практики в Институте регионального консалтинга. Авторами разделов стали студенты указанной кафедры. В ходе практической части курса «Социально‑экономическая география зарубежных стран» они выполняли задание не только тщательно описывать методологический контекст и суть той или иной концепции, но и продемонстрировать её работу на конкретном примере — российском или зарубежном. Разработка задания и общая редакция проведена Надеждой Замятиной, их преподавателем и одновременно заместителем директора Института регионального консалтинга.

Quantifying and Modelling the Effect of Cloud Shadows on the Surface Irradiance at Tropical and Midlatitude Forests
Кивалов С. Н., Fitzjarrald D., Boundary-Layer Meteorology 2018 Vol. 166 No. 2 P. 165–198
Cloud shadows lead to alternating light and dark periods at the surface, with the most abrupt changes occurring in the presence of low-level forced cumulus clouds. We examine multiyear irradiance time series observed at a research tower in a midlatitude mixed deciduous forest (Harvard Forest, Massachusetts, USA: 42.53◦N, 72.17◦W) and one made at a similar tower in a tropical ...
