Proceedings of the 16th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education Research

NY : ACM, 2017.

Academic editor: S. M. Calkin, M. Joy

Koli Calling is a vibrant single-track conference with a program including a keynote address, paper presentations and a poster session. At Koli Calling 2017, Professor Katrina Falkner from the University of Adelaide, Australia, presented a keynote address on the topic What Can We Learn about Teaching from MOOCs? Although the conference had a strong Computational Thinking flavour this year, the paper and poster presentations also covered a variety of topics including teaching and learning programming; program design; affect and emotion expression in CS and while programming; reflection, feedback and assessment; program plagiarism; and visualisation tools.

Адаптация и валидация двух шкал оценки вычислительного мышления на российской популяции: психометрическое исследование

Nikiforova K., Kulikova S., Platonova T. et al., Journal of Modern Foreign Psychology 2026 Vol. 15 No. 3 P. 98–113

The increasing prevalence of technology in daily life has led to a rising demand for IT specialists. In response, educational curricula have been adapted to incorporate coding lessons as early as primary school. However, the cognitive processes underlying computational thinking (CT) — the ability to apply a systematic problem-solving approach akin to computer logic — ...

A Three-Party W-State Quantum Secret Sharing Protocol with X-Gate Encoding and Forbidden-Outcome Detection

Teregulov T., Loubenets E. R., / Series Quantum Physics "arXiv". 2026. No. 2609.31472.

We develop a new three-party quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol based on a three-qubit W state. This protocol encodes the secret-sequence bits using X gates and employs randomly selected Hadamard operations and measurement bases to generate information and security-test rounds. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol and analyze its security against an internal adversary ...

Vanishing Vanguard: Decline of Leadership in Revolutionary Mass Mobilization since the 19th Century

Ustyuzhanin V., Zinkina J. V., Korotayev A., / Series "SocArXiv". 2026.

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

On calibration of remote sensing retrievals of ecosystem respiration (Reco) with tower measurements over,Russian forests and wetlands

Shabanov N., Kuricheva O., Kurbatova J. et al., / Series Working Papers SSRN "Department of Economics Ca’ Foscari University of Venice". 2026.

The carbon balance of an ecosystem is the difference between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (Reco) as expressed by Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE). While remote sensing retrievals of GPP have reached maturity, Reco estimation remains underexplored and ultimately cast bias on NEE. Here we present an end-to-end multi-scale analysis of the mechanism of ...

Three Algorithms for Merging Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graphs

Ponomarenko A., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2025.

This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

Growth in noncommutative algebras and entropy in derived categories

Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

Multilinear nilalgebras and the Jacobian theorem

Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2025.

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...

How Universal is the Cool Water Effect? Evidence from the Unlikely Case of Russia

Kravtsova M., Musaev A. U., Welzel C., / Series "SSRN Working Paper Series". 2026.

Elaborating on Welzel et al.'s "Cool Water Theory," our study zooms into the more limited (albeit still varied) framework conditions of Russia's huge territory. Within Russia's confines, we examine how the combination of moderately cool seasons with steady rain (i.e., Cool Water) affects sub-national areas' contemporary societal progress in two modernization indicators: material prosperity in ...

Почему растущие доходы не делают людей счастливее: эмоциональное объяснение парадокса Истерлина (Why Growing Incomes Do Not Make People Happier: an Emotional Explanation of the Easterlin Paradox)

Vorchik A., / SSRN. Серия Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026.

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

ML-based Fast Simulation of FARICH Responses

Shipilov F., Barnyakov A., Ivanov A. et al., / Series Physics "arxiv.org". 2026.

A fast simulation of the detector response is a vital task in high-energy physics (HEP). Traditional Monte-Carlo methods form the backbone of modern particle physics simulation software but are computationally expensive. We present a machine-learning-based approach to fast simulation of the Focusing Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov (FARICH) detector response. Given a particle track and momentum, ...

Algorithmic overlaps as thermodynamic variables: from local to cluster Monte Carlo dynamics in critical phenomena

Pilé I., Deng Y., Shchur L., / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2604.10254.

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms.

Using predefined vector systems to speed up neural network multimillion class classification

Gabdullin N., Androsov I., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2026.

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

Metasystem Transitions in Education: Human-AI Interactions as Catalysts for Computational Thinking

Patarakin Y., Korchak A., Burov V. et al., BRAIN. Broad Research In Artificial Intelligence And Neuroscience (Romania) 2025 Vol. 16 No. 4 P. 72–85

The paper explores how human–AI interactions, particularly with generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI), serve as catalysts for developing computational thinking (CT) as a creative meta-competence. Grounded in a theoretical framework that synthesises Vygotsky’s mediated learning, Lotman’s Semiosphere, and Turchin’s Metasystem Transition theory, the study conceptualises education as a process of collaborative meaning-making within human–machine teams. Two ...

Parandekar S., Patarakin Y., Yayla G., , in: Key Competences and New Literacies: From Slogans to School Reality.: Springer, 2023. Ch. 13 P. 367–390.

This chapter discusses a new dimension of domain-general literacy pertaining to working with information—coding. The authors make it clear why everyone today needs to have some level of coding skill, and how the latter can be developed. Coding is a dimension of instrumental literacy (based on specific tools): It is about one’s ability to use ...
