Physicists Discover What Happens Inside a Stable Vortex
Large vortices with characteristic spiral arms are often observed in the atmosphere and the ocean. Physicists from HSE University have explained how these structures form and why they retain their shape. The researchers found that velocities at points located along the same vortex arc remain correlated even over long distances. At the same time, this correlation weakens rapidly with increasing distance from the vortex centre. These differences help explain the formation of spiral arms and may improve models of atmospheric and oceanic currents. The findings have been published in Physical Review Fluids.

"Служилое государство" в постсоветской России: II реинкарнация "Матрицы Московии"

Гл. 3. С. 46–68.
А.П.Заостровцев

The article reviews the institutional core of the Russian society (Muscovite matrix) in the long historical period. The six basic features of this core are distinguished and its transformation in the framework of traditional society is described/ These features are: authoritarian rule (samovlastie), imperialistic spirit (imperstvo), power-ownership, anti-personality, social estates and administrative rent. Soviet socialism is treated as traditional society of modern type (TSMT-1.0), and modern Russia as TSMT-2.0. The article concludes that the Russian Sonderweg is caused by her antagonism to Western (based on the rule of law) civilization and represents its path dependence. The way out of this path dependence has low probability because of the embedded political and economic culture.

Культурные факторы географической дифференциации социально-экономического развития: зарубежные подходы
Zamyatina N., Региональные исследования 2015 № 2 С. 4–14
Роль культуры в социально-экономическом развитии территории определяется ее тесными связями с другими аспектами человеческой деятельности: культура определяет мировоззрение и легитимирует определенные модели поведения, в том числе экономические. Соответственно, географические различия в социально-экономических процессах формируются, в числе прочего, в результате пространственных различий в доминирующих культурных установках. Культура влияет на социально-экономическое развитие как на макрорегиональном, так и ...
