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.

Neither Realism nor Constructivism: The Tractarian Conception of Language

P. 32–34.
Bronzo S.

This paper proposes a disjunctivist interpretation of the relation between Tractarian "symbols" and Tractarian "signs" and shows why, if such an interpretation is correct, the Tractarian conception of language is netiher realist nor constructivist.

FROM LECTURER TO CHATBOT: EVALUATING A HYBRID TEACHING MODEL
Ravedovskaya U., Didenko A., Journal of Teaching English for Specific and Academic Purposes 2025 Vol. 13 No. 3 P. 529–538
Emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing teaching and evaluation in higher education. Early adopters have already demonstrated how large language model (LLM) conversational agents can serve as on-demand tutors, yet empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness in facilitating conceptual learning in non-computational domains is scant. Based on constructivist learning theory, this paper presents a ...

Рекламный проект versus «творческая артель»: феномен творческого поведения в контексте авангардистских сообществ (на примере двух постановок «Победы над Солнцем»)
Anna S., Филологические науки. Научные доклады высшей школы 2024 Т. 1 № 2 С. 79–91
В статье исследуется феномен творческого поведения в деятельности авангардистских сообществ. Творческое поведение становится необходимым для понимания авангардистского текста, обрамляющим текст знаковым образованием. Утверждается, что при присущем авангардистскому творчеству фокусе на соучастии читателя реализация этой прагматической доминанты вариативна и зависит от комплекса институциональных обстоятельств и коммуникативного пакта между авторами и публикой. В качестве примера выбраны два ...

Hintikka's independence-friendly logic meets Nelson's realizability
Odintsov S., Speranski S. O., Shevchenko I., Studia Logica 2018 Vol. 106 No. 3 P. 637–670
Inspired by Hintikka’s ideas on constructivism, we are going to ‘effectivize’ the game-theoretic semantics (abbreviated GTS) for independence-friendly first-order logic (IF-FOL), but in a somewhat different way than he did in the monograph ‘The Principles of Mathematics Revisited’. First we show that Nelson’s realizability interpretation — which extends the famous Kleene’s realizability interpretation by adding ...

This article examines Yan Satunovsky’s literary-critical and theoretical legacy. Although relatively small, this corpus is significant. Satunovsky’s analysis of the poetics of children's folklore, specifically counting rhymes, as well as the works of his predecessors and contemporaries (V. Mayakovsky, K. Chukovsky, G. Sapgir, and others), helps the poet formulate his own creative principles. . The ...

This paper examines the problem of Japanese foreign expansion through the lens of constructivist international relations theory. The Oriental studies tradition to describe and explain such phenomenon frequently lacks the question why it was Japan that managed to overcome its subalternity and start its own colonial policies, but other Asian nations failed to perform it.
