Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

The Battle for the Next Energy Frontier: The Russian Polar Expedition and the Future of Arctic Hydrocarbons

Oxford : Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, 2007.
Yenikeyeff S.

The recent Russian expedition to the North Pole has highlighted the growing strategic importance of the Arctic. This comment, by Shamil Midkhatovich Yenikeyeff and Timothy Fenton Krysiek, examines the Arctic’s potential as a new hydrocarbon producing region, analyzes the Kremlin’s regional development strategy, and explains the response of the other circumpolar countries the United States, Canada, Denmark, and Norway. This opinion piece also reviews the challenges to Arctic development, describes the implications of a traversable Northern Sea Route and Northwest Passage, and argues that the Norwegian energy companies and Anglo American supermajors are best positioned to take on upstream projects in the region.

Kazakhstan, the second-biggest oil-exporter in the former Soviet space behind Russia, is China’s key energy partner in Central Asia. Even though energy relations between China and Kazakhstan have so far been mutually beneficial and corresponded to the interests of both states, China’s expansion in Kazakhstan’s oil sector promotes a Sinophobic backlash and increasing neocolonial concerns ...

This chapter explains how and with what effect China’s and Russia’s energy paradigms are manifested and enacted in their bilateral energy relations. The demand for and of imports of oil on China’s part has been rising steadily since the mid-1990s, yet Russia hesitated to enter long-term agreements with China until the end of the 2000s. ...

How does modern China define and communicate its identity in international energy relations, and how does China make its energy choices? This is the central question that this chapter addresses. It starts with China’s quest for “self-reliance” in the 1950s and the story of the Daqing oilfield. Further, it discusses the legacy of “self-reliance” and ...

This chapter critically reviews the major theoretical debates that provide the basis for the study of energy politics in the realm of International Relations (IR). It identifies a number of blindspots in the existing mainstream realist and liberal scholarship on energy politics.

Contested crude: Multiscalar identities, conflicting discourses, and narratives of oil production in Canada
Kuteleva A., Leifso J., Energy Research and Social Science 2020 Vol. 70 Article 101672
Canadian politics is alive with references to what oil means to the country and its residents. However, the existing research only intermittently and often superficially discusses how Canada recognizes itself as a petrostate and negotiates its identities in relation to oil. Seeking to fill the gap, this paper offers a nuanced, dynamic, and comprehensive picture ...

The extreme transformation from energy self-sufficient to energy dependent development that China has experienced over the past three decades has received substantial international attention. China’s global search for energy resources has become a particularly sensitive issue in Sino-American relations. While, in general, China’s rapid and powerful rise is triggering complex responses in the US, ranging from admiration and support to ...

Kuteleva A., Problems of Post-Communism 2020 Vol. 67 No. 1 P. 78–92
Vladimir Putin’s regime has struggled to restore Russia’s great power status. The discourses that have emerged around Russian energy wealth play a particularly significant role in this struggle and shape Russia’s identity in international relations. These multiple and contradictory understandings of energy resources are encapsulated in the two dominant discourses: the energy superpower and the ...
