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.

The influence of online communications on the dynamics of protest activity holds one of the central places in modern political communication research.

Mapping Environmental Protests in Russia
Semenov A., Snarski Y., Tkacheva T., Russian Politics 2024 Vol. 9 No. 4 P. 503–523
Environmental protests have been a major strand of contention in Russia, yet the cross-regional variation in ecoprotests has not been systematically studied. In this paper, combining several protest event datasets we analyze the patterns of environmental activism across time and regions. The data cover more than 1000 protest events with an environmental agenda in the period 2007–2021. ...

Сталинов Г. А., Мир России: Социология, этнология 2024 Т. 33 № 2 С. 56–76
This study investigates how long-haul truck drivers, who work predominantly in solitude between warehouses and communicate mainly with dispatchers and warehouse staff, cultivate a sense of occupational solidarity despite the absence of a traditional work collective. Identifying as long-haul truckers rather than logistic workers, they engage in collective actions like unionizing and striking. This research ...

Отключение интернета как теоретическая проблема политической науки, или что мы (не) понимаем в сетевой протестной мобилизации
Akhremenko A. S., Полис. Политические исследования 2024 № 2 С. 118–134
The influence of Internet communication on “street” protest activity is the focus of this paper. In recent years, there has been some stagnation in this area of research: a shortage of breakthrough works that indicate new research directions or at least significantly strengthen the empirical foundation of already established hypotheses. The paradox is that when ...

Navigating Emergencies: A Theoretical Model of Civic Engagement and Wellbeing during Emergencies
Blitstein-Mishor E., Vigoda-Gadot E., Mizrahi S., Sustainability 2023 No. 15(19) Article 14118
The intensity and impact of emergencies on communities and societies are on the rise. They call for better preparedness, responses, and coping strategies by all those who are involved, especially citizens and the government. This paper introduces the concept of emergency-oriented civic engagement (EOCE), which includes citizens’ attitudes and behaviors aimed at influencing the community ...

Collective action against corruption in Western and non-Western countries: Cross-cultural implications of the Axiological-Identitary Collective Action Model
Grigoryev D., Gallyamova A., Conway L. G. et al., Frontiers in Psychology 2024 Vol. 15 Article 1269552
People sometimes protest government corruption, yet our current understanding of why they do so is culturally constrained. Can we separate pancultural factors influencing people’s willingness to protest government corruption from factors culturally specific to each socioecological context? Surprisingly little cross-cultural data exist on this important question. To fill this gap, we performed a cross-cultural test ...

Testing the expanded dual chamber model of collective action to help socially disadvantaged groups
Prusova I., Ananyeva O. A., Current Psychology 2025 Vol. 44 No. 10 P. 8304–8321
Prosocial behavior research is usually based on emotional and cognitive approaches that shed light on factors that facilitate the readiness to help. Encountering groups that need help, e.g., socially disadvantaged, might cause dissonance among people who perceive themselves as part of the social system that induced such problems. To deal with this conflict, people might ...

Gleb V. Aleksandrov, Frontiers in Political Science 2022 Vol. 4 Article 804673
In the early XVII century, when the New England colonies were established, the English Crown, preoccupied with domestic matters, interfered little with matters of colonial administration. The government system created by the colonists, was inspired to a certain degree by the religious ideas shared by many Puritan colonists but was shaped by political necessity and ...

The Internet Shutdown during the Protest: a Model of Changing the Network Structure with an Adjustable Level of Continuity of Connections
Andrei Akhremenko, Sergey Zheglov, Petrov A. et al., , in: 2022 15th International Conference Management of large-scale system development (MLSD).: M.: IEEE, 2022. Ch. 4 P. 1–5.
The paper introduces a new approach to modeling Internet shutdown during the process of protest mobilization. The central point of the approach is the sequential use of two networks, with different topologies built upon the same set of individuals. Some endogenously set proportion of connections is shared by both networks. A model of protest dynamics ...

Reflecting on the recent book by Marina L. Butovskaya and Victoria V. Rostovtseva, the author discusses altruism and selfishness as preconditions for cooperation of humans in society for collective actions, as a result of which its sociocultural transformations take place. It is argued that the problem of sources of cooperative behavior is by no means ...

Rallying Hashtags as a Tool for Societal Change in Fashion
Karamalak O., Cantoni L., , in: Fashion Communication: Proceedings of the FACTUM 21 Conference, Pamplona, Spain, 2021Issue 1.: Springer, 2021. P. 237–249.
The influencing power of hashtags cannot be overestimated since they can be used as facilitators of some societal change calling for collective action. Following the influential social identity model of collective action (SIMCA) presented by Van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears (2008), social identity together with collective efficacy beliefs and perceived injustice lead to collective action. ...

Contemporary Russia has a low level of trust. Collective leisure can shape trusting behavior. There is a variety of leisure activities, including nightlife — places that work after midnight. Although such places are often associated with deviant behavior, in many European cities nighttime leisure begins to institutionalize. At the same time, nightclubs in the capital ...

Количественные текстовые характеристики как фактор успешности продвижения публикаций в рамках протестной коммуникации в социальных сетях
Philippov I., Контуры глобальных трансформаций: политика, экономика, право 2020 Т. 13 № 2 С. 249–268
Полноценный анализ протестной активности в XXI в. невозможен без учета сложной взаимосвязи между онлайн- и офлайн-поведением различных акторов. Социальные медиа и, более широко, все интернет-пространство становятся площадкой для новых форм состязательной политики и делают возможными формы поведения, трансформирующие классические методы протеста. При этом цифровые площадки не являются нейтральными по отношению к самой коммуникации: взаимодействие пользователей ...

Latent Factors of Protest Participation: A Basic Computational Model
Akhremenko A. S., Yureskul E., Petrov A., , in: 2019 Twelfth International Conference "Management of large-scale system development" (MLSD).: M.: IEEE, 2019. P. 1–4.
In this paper, we propose an agent-based model of protest participation. We take into account latent factors, such as individual anger with the system and group belief in the protest's success, as well as the risk of repression. We run a number of experimental simulations and look at distributions of protester numbers under various initial ...
