Scientists Discover Why Europium 'Misbehaves'
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.

HSE Economists Reveal How the Wage Gap Emerges Among Vocational School Graduates
HSE researchers examined the careers of 600,000 graduates of Russian secondary vocational education programmes and found that at the start of their careers, the gender wage gap reaches 23%, doubling after three years. This disparity is largely due to male and female students choosing different occupations when enrolling in vocational schools. These were the findings made by Sergey Roshchin, Natalya Yemelina, and Ksenia Rozhkova from of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The article has been published in Educational Studies.

HSE Researchers Make Aldehydes Perform Dual Function
Chemists from HSE University have discovered a way to carry out a reductive addition reaction without using an external reducing agent. Instead, the required 'resource' is supplied by the aldehyde itself, one of the reaction participants. This approach helps prevent unwanted side reactions, reduces toxicity, and simplifies the production and synthesis of organic molecules, including those used in the manufacture of medicines. The study has been published in Journal of Catalysis.

Beyond Global Studies. An Introductory Lecture into a Big History Course

P. 321–328.
Grinin L. E., Korotayev A., David B.

Global studies can be made not only with respect to the humans who inhabit the Earth, they can well be done with respect to biological and abiotic systems of our planet. Such an approach opens wide horizons for the modern university education as it helps to form a global view of various processes. However, we can also ask ourselves whether the limits of our studies can be moved further. Would not it be useful for the students to understand the evolution of our planet within the context of the evolution of our Universe? The need to see this process of development holistically, in its origins and growing complexity, is fundamental to what drives not only science but the human imagination. This shared vision of the grand narrative is one of the most effective ways to conceptualize and integrate our growing knowledge of the Universe, society, and human thought. Note that the respective discipline already exists and it has been developing quite successfully for more than three decades; it is denotes as Big History.

Does the pedicle exist in craniiform brachiopods?
Plandin F., Temereva E., Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2025 Vol. 205 No. 2 Article zlaf139
Although Brachiopoda represent a relatively small phylum, they exhibit significant morphological diversity. One of the central issues in understanding the evolution of the ancestral brachiopod body plan pertains to the homologies among body compartments across the different brachiopod subphyla: Craniiformea, Linguliformea, and Rhynchonelliformea. In this context, the pedicle stands out as one of the most ...

Relative Chaoticity of Natural Languages
Yerbolova A. S., Tomashchuk K., Kogan A. et al., Complexity 2026 Vol. 2026 No. 1 Article 5519690
Tis paper presents a novel approach to analyzing and grouping natural languages based on the degree of their chaoticity. It clusters 52 languages from 18 language families, according to the value of the entropy–complexity pair, to reveal the chaotic properties of semantic trajectories. Te obtained clusters appear to be closely correlated with the family of ...

Complexity for probability logic with quantifiers over propositions
Speranski S. O., Journal of Logic and Computation 2013 Vol. 23 No. 5 P. 1035–1055
In the present article, the quantifiers over propositions are first introduced into the language for reasoning about probability, then the complexity issues for validity problems dealing with the corresponding hierarchy of probabilistic sentences are investigated. We prove, among other things, the $\Pi^1_1$-completeness for the general validity and also indicate the least level in the hierarchy ...

Notes on the computational aspects of Kripke’s theory of truth
Speranski S. O., Studia Logica 2017 Vol. 105 No. 2 P. 407–429
The paper contains a survey on the complexity of various truth hierarchies arising in Kripke’s theory. I present some new arguments, and use them to obtain a number of interesting generalisations of known results. These arguments are both relatively simple, involving only the basic machinery of constructive ordinals, and very general. ...

Infinitary action logic with exponentiation
Kuznetsov S., Speranski S. O., Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 2022 Vol. 173 No. 2 Article 103057
We introduce infinitary action logic with exponentiation — that is, the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus extended with Kleene star and with a family of subexponential modalities, which allow some of the structural rules (contraction, weakening, permutation). The logic is presented in the form of an infinitary sequent calculus. We prove cut elimination and, in the case ...

Infinitary action logic with multiplexing
Kuznetsov S., Speranski S. O., Studia Logica 2023 Vol. 111 No. 2 P. 251–280
Infinitary action logic can be naturally expanded by adding exponential and subexponential modalities from linear logic. In this article we shall develop infinitary action logic with a subexponential that allows multiplexing (instead of contraction). Both non-commutative and commutative versions of this logic will be considered, presented as infinitary sequent calculi. We shall prove cut admissibility ...

An ‘elementary’ perspective on reasoning about probability spaces
Speranski S. O., Logic Journal of the IGPL 2025 Vol. 33 No. 2 Article jzae042
This paper is concerned with a two-sorted probabilistic language, denoted by QPL, which contains quantifiers over events and over reals, and can be viewed as an elementary language for reasoning about probability spaces. The fragment of QPL containing only quantifiers over reals is a variant of the well-known ‘polynomial’ language from [Fagin et al. 1990, Section 6]. ...

Sharpening complexity results in quantified probability logic
Speranski S. O., Logic Journal of the IGPL 2025 Vol. 33 No. 3 Article jzae114
We shall be concerned with two natural expansions of the quantifier-free ‘polynomial’ probability logic of [Fagin et al. 1990]. One of these, denoted by QPL-e, is obtained by adding quantifiers over arbitrary events, and the other, denoted by p-QPL-e, uses quantifiers over propositional formulas — or equivalently, over events expressible by such formulas. The earlier proofs ...

Complexity in Big History. An Introductory Exploration
LePoire D., Grinin L. E., Korotayev A., Journal of Big History 2025 Vol. 8 No. 3 P. 98–139
Building on foundational work in systems theory, thermodynamics, and evolutionary theory, this paper argues that complexity can serve as a conceptual bridge across disciplines. It explores the role of complexity dynamics in Big History through an integrative theoretical framework that spans physical, chemical, geological, biological, social, cognitive, and civilizational domains. By examining how complexity emerges, ...

Beliefs about a Brighter Future for All Humanity as an Evolutionary Adaptation to Pathogen Prevalence
Haas B., Lou X., Yeung V. W. et al., Personality and Individual Differences 2025 Vol. 247 Article 113398
An important question in cogntive and evolutionary psychology is how the human mind anticipates the future and copes with stress and risk of disease. The parasite-stress model suggests that many patterns of human behavior and thought are adaptations to varying levels of exposure to parasites and pathogens. A growing body of health psychology research shows ...

LePoire D., Leonid Grinin, Korotayev A., , in: Navigating Complexity in Big History. Exploring Periodization Across Cosmic and Biosocial Dimensions.: Springer, 2025. P. 495–525.
This volume, “Navigating Complexity in Big History—Exploring Periodization Across Cosmic and Biosocial Dimensions” explores the aspects and proposals for periodization of Big History. This includes considering cross-cutting aspects of measuring complexity (e.g., energy, information, or a combination), considering different mechanisms of natural selection, developing a set of criteria to base the evaluation of frameworks, and ...
