On the History of the Name Ruslan
No full textВ публикации постулируется тезис о существовании общего пласта российского антропонимикона, формирующегося в результате взаимодействия национальных именников. Основная часть сообщения посвящена истории прецедентного в российском антропонимиконе имени Руслан. Прослеживается генетическая связь антропонима с широко распространенным в тюркских языках именем Арслан, имеющим доономастическое значение ‘лев’, выявляются варианты имени в архивных документах, исторических источниках XV–XVII вв., русском сказочном фольклоре. Оценивается роль поэмы А. С. Пушкина «Руслан и Людмила» в формировании ассоциативного фона исследуемого антропонима. Особое внимание уделено производным от имени патрониму и фамилии, а также образованному от него женскому имени Руслана. Прослеживается динамика именования, определяется период его наибольшей популярности в советское и постсоветское время. Отмечается, что имя приобретает определенную семантическую ауру и популярность особенно на Кавказе; оно становится своеобразным маркером российской идентичности, что способствует объединению российского социума и формированию единого антропонимического пространства. Этот вывод подтверждается данными социологического опроса, в котором участвовало около 40 респондентов — представителей разных народов Кавказа. Участники опроса отмечают положительные коннотации имени, ощущают его связь и с исходным тюркским антропонимом Арслан, и с именем пушкинского героя. Ряд респондентов воспринимает имя как «немусульманское», многие авторы анкет оценивают его как русское и подчеркивают, что именно так оно воспринимается за границами России. Культурная история имени Руслан, его трансонимизация представляются перспективными для научного исследования, особенно в условиях новых возможностей интернет-коммуникации и формирования новых ономастических дискурсов.The authors postulate that there exists a common stock of Russian personal names resulting from a partial blending of national anthroponymicons. The main part of the paper focuses on the history of the personal name Ruslan which has etymological ties with the widespread Turkic name Arslan having the pre-onomastic meaning ‘lion’. The authors study the variation of the name in Russian folklore and in the 15th–17th centuries documents and historical sources. They also pay particular attention to the role of Pushkin’s poem Ruslan and Ludmila in the formation of the associative background of the studied name and to various onomastic derivatives, the latter include patronyms, surnames and the female name Ruslana. The author conclude that the name Ruslan became especially popular in Soviet and post-Soviet periods when it acquired a specific “semantic aura”, namely, in Caucasus where Ruslan became a kind of mark of Russian identity and, thus, contributed to the unification of the anthroponymic space. This conclusion was verified in the course of a survey done among 40 respondents representing different peoples of Caucasus. For most respondents the name has positive connotations and is associated with the Turkic name Arslan and the name of Pushkin’s character. However, some respondents consider it as a “non-Muslim”, Russian name and point out that it is often perceived as such outside Russia. The history of the name Ruslan and the ways of its transonymisation can be an interesting object for further research, especially due to the emergence of new communication technologies and onomastic discourses
Protected quantum bits and Josephson junction arrays
No full textIn this thesis we consider a Josephson junction device whose symmetry is described by the point group Td. It can be visualized as a tetrahedron that contains two Josephson junctions on each edge. We find the conditions under which the ground state of the system is degenerate or almost degenerate. In this case, the low-energy degrees of freedom can be mapped to the Hilbert space of a quantum spin 1/2. We evaluate effects of different physical perturbations on the degenerate ground state and find that they are small for most perturbations. We argue that this system can be considered as a very promising candidate for a protected quantum bit with built-in error correction. We propose and discuss an experimental method that allows to test validity of some of the theoretical results obtained for the tetrahedral Josephson junction array and other similar symmetric circuits. We have chosen a simpler pyramidal array to demonstrate the main ideas of our method. Even though the noise resistance and theoretical decoherence time of the pyramidal array are worse than those of the more complex tetrahedral systems, it is much easier to realize the pyramid experimentally. The proposed design can be used with any symmetric Josephson junction circuit. We explore a natural generalization of the tetrahedral quantum bit and consider devices whose symmetry can be described by one of the higher-order permutation groups Sn. We study the level structure and the associated built-in protection of some conceptually simple circuits and show that these circuits have many interesting properties. In particular, their ground state can be highly degenerate and stable with respect to perturbations violating the symmetry. Unfortunately, these highly symmetric systems consist of a large number of identical Josephson junctions. This makes them too complicated for experimental realization.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Ruslan Usmano
Author gender identification for Urdu articles
No full textThis is an accepted manuscript of an article published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science on 21/09/2022. The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published versionIn recent years, author gender identification has gained considerable attention in the fields of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. This task has been extensively investigated for resource-rich languages such as English and Spanish. However, researchers have not paid enough attention to perform this task for Urdu articles. Firstly, I created a new Urdu corpus to perform the author gender identification task. I then extracted two types of features from each article including the most frequent 600 multi-word expressions and the most frequent 300 words. After I completed the corpus creation and features
extraction processes, I performed the features concatenation process. As a result each article was represented in a 900D feature space. Finally, I applied 10 different well-known classifiers to these features to perform the author gender identification task and compared their performances against state-of-the-art pre-trained multilingual language models, such as mBERT, DistilBERT, XLM-RoBERTa and multilingual DeBERTa, as well as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). I conducted extensive experimental studies which show that (i) using the most frequent 600 multi-word expressions as features and concatenating them with the most frequent 300 words as features improves the accuracy of the author gender identification task, and (ii) support vector machines outperforms other classifiers, as well as fine-tuned pre-trained language models and CNN.

ISBN 978-9975-155-25-0.This article describes how to recognize and account for differences in amount. The author presents the way of recalculation of receivables and liabilities expressed in foreign currency or conventional units at various official exchange rates of the MDL or exchange rates established in the contracts concluded between the residents of the Republic of Moldova. The tax treatment of the amount differences is presented as a price adjustment, the manner of issuing the tax invoice. Based on some examples, it is analyzed how these differences are reflected in the accounting accounts in different practical situations. JEL:M46
Unemployment and labor market dynamics in Russia
Full text linkThe past 15 months have seen the beginning of structural change in Russia but a failure of the economy to stabilize. The balance sheet, conclude the authors suggests that a return to centralized control remain almost impossible, but the dencentralization that has occurred contain many undesirable features. In framing their analysis, the authors draw on aggregate data and firm-level data from the first-round results of a 1992 survey covering 41 firms in the Moscow region. The survey results suggest that the greater autonomy of firms has facilitated the exploitation of market power while failing to dampen the demand for easy credit from the budget or banking system. For the most part, demand has been satisfied, enabling firms to meet current wage claims and, to a lesser degree, sustain output levels. Buoyant nominal profits can be traced either to pricing behavior derived from market power or to transfers or subsidies channeled through the fiscal monetary system. This in turn has artificially sustained the revenue side of the government accounts. Official employment was no more than 1 percent of the labor force by the end of 1992, but evidence on the importance of marginal unemployment indicates that the underlying pass-through into open unemployment will be great. By the third quarter of 1992, this"augmented"unemployment rate approached 4 percent of the labor force. Even so, the authors observe non-trivial outflows from unemployment to jobs and in some regions to jobs in the private or collective sector. In Russia, outflows to state sector jobs dominate. Survey evidence shows considerable turnover in the state sector and resilient hiring. Much of the churning in labor markets seems to be through voluntary separations and job transitions. Net changes to employment have been limited, and have involved mostly ancillary or clerical staff. The authors discern a core or membership rule dominating Russian firms'decisions which it would be dangerous to assume will be maintained. They interpret it as a holding strategy in a complex game the firms have been playing with government. Lack of a credible reform program has weakened any impulse toward large-scale restructuring of firms. Wages have been more volatile and have regional dispersion, but the authors predict no large consistent shift in relative wages. Rather the wage path has probably been governed by current streams and additional transfers, and then set consistent with the stable employment rule. The path of wages over 1992 is clearly associated with changes in Russia's monetary and fiscal stance and allied institutional features.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,Markets and Market Access,Access to Markets
On the analysis of the tin-inside-H3S Mössbauer experiment
No full textA simple analysis is presented of the particular experiment used to prove the bulk nature of very-high-Tc superconductivity in H3S compound under ultra-high pressure. In the experiment, an internal magnetic field was sensed by the synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy in tin placed inside the H3S sample. The experiment showed peculiar anisotropy with respect to the direction of the applied field at first sight. By considering actual experimental geometries and parameters of the experiment, we show that this particular observation is consistent with the expectations for a regular type-II superconductor with Meissner expulsion and pinning.This is a manuscript of an article published as Prozorov, Ruslan, and Sergey L. Bud’ko. "On the analysis of the tin-inside-H3S Mössbauer experiment." Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism 35, no. 10 (2022): 2615-2619.

Wage and employment decisions in the Russian economy : an analysis of developments in 1992
Full text linkThe authors analyze changes in the Russian labor market in 1992. They focus on the path of wages and employment in a context of partial price liberalization and considerable ambiguity about government and central bank policy. Under the former Soviet economy, the firm was the bedrock of the centrally planned system. The relaxation of centralized controls did not result in substantial employment losses partly because of the implicit moral economy of the system and partly because of continuing constraints on wages. In 1992, the wage structure and employment levels in the economy's state sector exhibited surprising stability, reflecting the system's immense inertia. Despite announced regime changes, at the end of 1992 the number of jobseekers was no more than 1.5 percent of the labor force. But significant changes have been made: wage and employment decisions have been widely liberalized; some restraints on labor mobility have been removed; changes have also been made in ownership title; and there has been some expansion in the private sector, as yet largely concentrated in services. These substantive changes are important for future expectations about entitlements to jobs and incomes, but the changes remain restricted and the sources of these restrictions imply significant economic costs. The underpinning of the current stagflation is the inability to break the soft budget constraint on state firms and to impose realistically a systematic, transparent set of constraints on the firms'financing demands. This has combined with the firms'continuing ability to exercise market power alongside weak controls on wage claims. Employment transitions have been dominated by high levels of quits at the base of the skill structure. Involuntary separations have been limited, involving mostly women and white collar workers. Firms commonly provide de facto unemployment compensation to workers in the form of minimum wage payments with little or no work requirement. There is evidence of some increase in the proportion of laid-off workers among the unemployed, but firms seem to prefer hoarding labor in light of uncertainty about policy, firm, or product-specific market prospects. Wages have been more volatile. Wages initially bore almost all of the adjustment costs, but have shown mild recovery thereafter. Lax monetary policy and decentralized insider power, giving rise to relative employment stability and real wage rigidity, are powerful ingredients for hyperinflation.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management
Karboxyláty kovů v malířství - studium jejich vzniku, vlastnosti a chovaní.
Full text linkTitle: Metal carboxylates in paintings - the study of their formation, properties and behaviour Author: Mgr. Ruslan Barannikov Supervisor: RNDr. Jiří Plocek, Ph.D. Abstract: The formation of crystalline metal carboxylates in painted artworks presents a significant conservation challenge, as these compounds can compromise both the structural integrity and aesthetic appearance of cultural heritage objects. While lead carboxylates have been extensively characterized due to their prevalence in degraded areas containing lead-based pigments, crystalline mercury carboxylates, recently identified in portrait miniatures containing cinnabar (HgS), remain insufficiently investigated. My dissertation work aims to elucidate the formation mechanisms, structural characteristics, and thermal behaviour of mercury carboxylates, comparing them with lead analogues in the context of painting degradation to understand their potential synergistic effects. Through a systematic approach, simple and mixed mercury carboxylates of general formula Hg(C16)x(C18)2-x (where C16 stands for C15H31COO‾ and C18 je C17H35COO‾ while x = 0.0-2.0) were synthesized and characterized using complementary analytical techniques. The combination of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) revealed that mercury...Název práce: Karboxyláty kovů v malířství - studium jejich vzniku, vlastnosti a chovaní Autor: Mgr. Ruslan Barannikov Vedoucí práce: RNDr. Jiří Plocek, Ph.D. Abstrakt: Tvorba krystalických karboxylátů kovů v malířských dílech představuje významný konzervátorský problém, neboť tyto sloučeniny ohrožují jak strukturální integritu, tak estetické kvality objektů kulturního dědictví. Zatímco olovnaté karboxyláty byly již důkladně charakterizovány vzhledem k jejich častému výskytu v degradovaných oblastech obsahujících olovnaté pigmenty, krystalické rtuťnaté karboxyláty, nedávno identifikované v portrétních miniaturách obsahujících rumělku (HgS), zůstávají nedostatečně prozkoumány. Má disertační práce si klade za cíl objasnit mechanismy vzniku, strukturní charakteristiky a tepelného chování rtuťnatých karboxylátů a porovnat je s jejich olovnatými analogy v kontextu degradace maleb pro pochopení jejich potenciálních synergických účinků. Systematickým přístupem byly syntetizovány a charakterizovány prosté i směsné rtuťnaté karboxyláty obecného vzorce Hg(C16)x(C18)2-x (kde C16 odpovídá C15H31COO‾ a C18 je C17H35COO‾ x = 0,0-2,0).
