HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

Нескончаемый спор о морали (Лев Толстой и Лев Шестов)

С. 51–68.
Porus V. N.

Leо Tolstoy’s «moralism» is a call for purification of moral universals that comprise the basis of culture. And the within the culture there is no contradiction between the values of individual life and values of social «peace». Being ethical means: either follow absolute moral requirements, making certain actions, or to focus on the final goal of perfect motion, taking responsibility for deviation from them and correcting errors. The subordination of the individual behavior of the general rules or laws needs in both cases. «Moralist- preacher» has to possess some main requirements. First, he has to comply with the principles of his teachings. Secondly, he has to sure that he speaks from name of the well-known truth. Otherwise, his preaching will be deception and destruction, but not the creation of moral culture.Shestov rejects preaching pathos as incompatible with the existential (individualistic) perception of the world. Moral preaching paradoxically turns as «amoralism»: the conviction of human weakness leads to violence, to indifference towards the human suffering,  humiliation and insult «accidents», rejected morality. Shestov puts absolute human individuality in the place of «absolute morality» (It’s a synonym for God in views of Tolstoy). But this Absolute is not compatible with moral universalism and other cultural property (including Rationality). This opposition assumes the impossible of choice between culture without personality or individuality and personality without culture.

Emotions in Meaning-Making: Toward a Sociological Theory of Cathexis
Kurakin D., Sociological forum 2025 P. 1–12
The role of emotion in meaning-making remains undertheorized in cultural sociology. This article argues that emotions and affect are intrinsic to meaning-making and proposes cathexis—the attachment of emotions generated in social interaction to objects, symbols, and ideas—as the fundamental mechanism by which emotions co-constitute cultural meanings. Durkheim implied this constitutive role of affect in his theory ...
