  • Russian Citizens’ Health Self-assessment Dynamics

    Polina M Kozyreva, Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology RAS et…ARTICLESotsiologicheskie issledovaniya2020

    Работа посвящена анализу динамики самооценок здоровья россиян в постсоветский период на основе данных «Российского мониторинга экономического положения и здоровья населения НИУ ВШЭ (RLMS-HSE)». Уровень воспринимаемого здоровья россиян остается невысоким. Несмотря на трудности последнего десятилетия, когда население вновь столкнулось со снижением уровня жизни, люди стали оценивать свое здоровье немного лучше, чем в период посттрансформационного во…

  • Warming in the Nordic Seas, North Atlantic storms and thinning Arctic sea ice

    Open AccessV A Alexeev, John E Walsh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Arctic sea ice over the last few decades has experienced a significant decline in coverage both in summer and winter. The currently warming Atlantic Water layer has a pronounced impact on sea ice in the Nordic Seas (including the Barents Sea). More open water combined with the prevailing atmospheric pattern of airflow from the southeast, and persistent North Atlantic storms such as the recent extremely strong Storm Frank in December 2015, lead to…

The main focus of the paper is the analysis of the Russian Constitution and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. In particular, the authors consider a recent majo…

  • A Perspective on the Role of Minerals in Prebiotic Synthesis

    Martin Schoonen, Martin A A Schoonen et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2004

    The possible role of minerals in prebiotic chemistry is discussed. Reactions involving the transformation of inorganic forms of the biogenic elements into simple organic molecules are emphasized. Three central issues are presented in detail: i) the types of reactions minerals could possibly have promoted; ii) the availability of minerals with catalytic potential on early Earth; and iii) the available research strategy and methods to evaluate the …
