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.

When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

Очевидное зло? Неочевидное благо?

Вопросы философии. 2015. № 11. С. 187–198.
Nosov D.

The article traces the influence of Cristian moral traditions that perceiv virtue and sin as diametrical opposites, on subsequent European culture (from the theory of ethical sentimentalism to Marxism). Various situations in which such a dichotomous approach fails are being discussed. A detailed analysis of how obvious evil in fact becomes non-obvious good is given.
