Psycholinguists from the Centre for Language and Brain at HSE University–St Petersburg have shown that words that are frequently misspelled are processed more slowly by readers, even when presented with the correct spelling. The researchers confirmed this effect for the first time using Russian-language materials and found that response speed is most strongly linked to how confidently individuals can distinguish the correct spelling of a word from an incorrect one. The study has been published in The Mental Lexicon.
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain have developed a new digital tool for assessing children's phonological processing skills—the ZARYA (Sound Analysis of the Russian Language) test battery. It is the first standardised application in Russia designed to provide a fast and reliable assessment of children's ability to distinguish speech sounds, retain them in working memory, and perform phonemic analysis. The app runs on Android tablets and smartphones and is available for download from RuStore. Details of the test validation have been published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.
Europium is a rare-earth metal responsible for the pure red glow in displays and other luminescent materials. For a long time, however, it refused to emit light when surrounded by certain organic molecules known as acylpyrazolone ligands. Chemists have now uncovered the reason: in europium complexes with these ligands, a 'black window' appears—a charge-transfer state in which the energy absorbed by the ligand is dissipated as heat rather than emitted as light. Understanding this mechanism opens the way to designing more efficient red-emitting materials for displays, fluorescent thermometers, and chemical sensors. The results have been published in Dalton Transactions.
Книга посвящена комплексу проблем взаимодействия различных мигрантских групп и местных сообществ в переселенческом обществе Сибири в контексте этномиграционных процессов. Через изучение отдельных проблем и ситуаций (кейсов) делается попытка выявить ключевые характеристики и тенденции взаимоотношений мигрантов и переселенческого общества, с одной стороны, и противоречий и конфликтов относительно миграционной проблемы в самом принимающем обществе, с другой. Воздействие ...
Монография посвящена сравнительному анализу роли этномиграционных процессов в формировании переселенческого общества Сибири. Ставится задача сравнить ситуации рубежей XIX-XX и XX-XXI веков. Рассматриваются проблемы государственной политики и управления этномиграционными процессами, воздействие миграций на расселенческую структуру, модели экономического поведения и адаптационных практик мигрантов, механизмы и динамика диаспоростроительства, формирование фобий и стереотипов как одной из реакций принимающего общества ...
