Ruslan Almukhametov tells about the most interesting events of the day

Ruslan Almukhametov reports about the 7th day of the Third LCSR Summer school, which takes place in Zelenogorsk at the Gulf of Finland these days.

Another day of Summer School started with practical workshop held by Hermann Dulmer (University of Cologne) and his assistant Kirill Zhirkov (LCSR, Saint-Petersburg). Students started working on a multilevel model using their own research data and knowledge gained during the main course of the school. Prof. Dulmer and Kirill provided substantial assistance to every participant.

After the lunch break LCSR Progress Reports session started with Marina Goroshit’s (Tel Hai College, Israel) presentation on her current research “The Determinants of European Countries Citizens’ Engagement in Protest Behavior”. The session continued by Natalia Soboleva’s (LCSR HSE, Moscow) final report on “Gender Attitudes in the Word of Work: Cross-Cultural Comparison”. The last presenter was Vladimir Koslov (HSE Moscow), who made a final report on “Regional Descrepancies in Subjective Well-Being of Birth Cohorts in Europe after the Threshold of Age 60”.

After a short break Francesco Sarracino (Ceps/Instead, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luzembourg) presented a lecture on “Subjective Well-being and Easterlin Paradox”. Not only did he update school participants on diverse methods of measuring subjective well-being, he also conducted an experiment by measuring students’ subjective well-being during the lecture.

Irina Nikiforova (HSE, St. Petersburg) with her course on “Data Analysis using R and SQL” concluded studying sessions for the day.

In the evening students cold enjoy a game of volleyball or warmth of sauna.
