The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.
Linara Khadimullina works in the field of low-carbon development. In an interview with the Young Scientists of HSE project, she spoke about why nature is not just a beautiful backdrop, her research on the role of sustainable corporate governance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and growing plants as a source of inspiration.
In late September, HSE University hosted a roundtable discussion titled Civil Society in African Countries and Youth Participation in Public Diplomacy. Representatives of non-governmental organisations from Ghana, Ethiopia, and Russia, along with students from HSE University’s Bachelor’s Programme in Public Administration, discussed how young people without official diplomatic status can influence relations between countries and how the nonprofit sector can remain sustainable amid declining grant funding.

The threshold aggregation rule used to rank alternatives that are evaluated against a set of criteria is known in decision theory. The generalization of the threshold aggregation rule to the case when the estimates in the alternatives are described by fuzzy numbers is considered in the paper. The fuzzy threshold aggregation procedure has been developed ...

Some distortions are possible in the process of preference aggregation. For example, one voter who is pivotal for some preference profi le may not read instructions properly and accidently submit wrong preference. We study how different voting rules react to these distortions for three, four and fi ve alternatives with computer modelling. One of the ...

In the case when alternatives are ranked by several equivalent criteria on the scale of three grades (bad, average,
good) we develop the axiomatics of preference functions for the superposition of the Borda and threshold preference
orders and present the explicit formula for the evaluation of the enumerating preference function. ...

The problem of axiomatic and algorithmic constructions of the threshold decision making is studied in the case when individual opinions are given as m-graded strict preferences (with m ≥ 3). It is shown that the only rule satisfying the introduced axioms is the threshold rule. Two explicit algorithms are presented: the ordering algorithm, under which ...
