Biologists Discover Unique Properties of MiR-93-5p MicroRNA in Prostate Cancer
Researchers at the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems of the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology investigated how different isoforms of the same microRNA influence gene function in prostate adenocarcinoma. The study found that in some cases, microRNAs can reinforce each other’s effects by targeting and suppressing the same genes. This finding offers a fresh perspective on the molecular mechanisms underlying tumour development and on the search for disease biomarkers. The results have been published in PeerJ.

Demographic characteristics as determinants of retail customers’ credit behavior. Evidence from Russian regions

Procedia Computer Science. 2023. Vol. 221. P. 1091–1098.
Arkhipova N., Karminsky A. M.

This paper investigates and defines the concept of "credit behavior". A number of factors influencing credit behaviour of the population were identified. Among them are economic factors, e.g. income and expenses, debt burden, unemployment, interest rates, etc. Another important group of factors impacting credit behavior is social aspects, i.e. level of education, social status, financial and digital literacy, and others. The next important group is demographic factors which include gender and age characteristics, family composition, etc. The research found rigid and positive dependence between the volume of per capita lending with per capita income, which can be explained by the fact that the amount of income directly determines “solvency” of a client. A positive relationship is also observed when assessing the link between the volume of per capita loans and availability of hospital beds.

Определение минимального размера выборки для задачи экстраполяции резервов при наличии корреляции дефолтов
Penikas H. I., / Банк России. Серия доклады Банка России "Серия докладов об экономических исследованиях". 2024.
In 2016, the Bank of Russia developed two ordinances to set forth a procedure using a limited sample of loans to conclude whether the level of loss provisions in the portfolio of uniform loans is sufficient or not and whether the bank’s capital is adequate. The existing procedure of reserve sufficiency evaluation previews as a rule considering only a part of the loan portfolio and transfer (extrapolation) of the provision thus assessed for the overall portfolio. Moreover, the acting approach to define the minimum loan sample size assumes the absence of the default correlation. Author’s contribution ...
