Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

‘Speech, Facial Expressions, and Gestures Cannot Lie
Would you like to know whether a speaker’s trembling voice or an accidental gesture can give them away? At HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod, researchers are developing an algorithm that analyses speech, facial expressions, and gestures, and determines whether information is truthful with 92% accuracy. The project has applications ranging from forensic examination and bank recruitment to fundamental research. Anna Khomenko, head of the research group and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Language and Brain at the HSE Faculty of Humanities in Nizhny Novgorod, explains how students and researchers are working together to create a corpus of video recordings, train a classifier, and prepare to introduce computer vision technology.

Homonymous Roots Between Exegesis and Textual Criticism: The Case of חבלי־מות and חבלי שאול in Ps 18,5-6

Biblica. 2024. Vol. 105. No. 4. P. 494–505.
Yurovitskaya M.

Discussing the variants חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 and משברי־מות in 2 Sam 22,5 I join Talmon in considering them not transmission errors, but synonymous readings. However, I demonstrate that the equating of these two terms as both denoting “birth pangs” is not attested in the Hebrew Bible but is a later exegetical development. I argue that חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 should be interpreted as “destructions of death” (from the root ḫbl). In this sense, it constitutes an appropriate synonymous pairing for משברי־מות  “breakers of death”, and its juxtaposition with the expression חבלי שאול “cords of Sheol” in verse 6 is an intended wordplay.

Variation and Diachronic Change in Epistemic Stance: Testing Promotional Trends in NSF Grant Proposal Abstracts.

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...

A Note on Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX
Yurovitskaya M., Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 2026 Vol. 138 No. 3 P. 392–400
I propose to relate the puzzling rendering of סָבְאָם  as Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX to the only other occurrence of סֹבֶא  “strong drink, wine, or beer”, Isa 1:22, where the term is translated in the LXX as οἱ κάπηλοι “retailers”. Given that כְּנַעֲנִי  “Canaanite” functioned as a designation for “trader”, I argue that both verses ultimately reflect ...

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

Translation of Hebrew tenses in the Greek Psalter: choosing between past, present, and future
Seleznev M., Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies (JSCS) 2024 Vol. 57 P. 73–93
In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the ...
