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

Sustaining the development of MSEs in Indonesia: the moderating effects of the environment
No full textMSEs contribute much to the Indonesian economy and play a crucial role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Unfortunately, MSEs still have limited access to finance. Financing access (SDGs’ issue), support from the government (environmental aspect), and entrepreneurial traits (inside the MSEs) are central for MSEs’ sustainability. This research investigates the role of a business environment built by the government to ease financial constraints and support self-efficacy in MSEs’ sustainable growth. This research applies the Structural Equation Model method to 750 respondents. Initially the direct factors are estimated and then a moderating factor is added. The results find that financial constraints MSEs’ experience limits the their sustainability, whereas self-efficacy enhances it. Although MSEs possess strong entrepreneurial characteristics as the basis for their growth, financing access remains a burden. The research confirms that the business environment created by the government is an effective strategy to facilitate MSEs’ sustainability. However, MSEs’ sustainability cannot be improved merely by government schemes but must be supported by the financial and banking sectors
The Role of Innovation Ambidexterity in Enhancing MSME Performance: Insights from the Fashion Industry
No full textThis study examines the influence of leadership characteristics and intellectual resources on organizational performance through innovation ambidexterity mediation in MSMEs in the fashion industry in Bandung. In a competitive environment, MSMEs need to adopt explorative and exploitative innovations to achieve optimal performance. The results show that adaptive leadership and risk tolerance support Combined Innovation Ambidexterity (CIA), which has a positive impact on MSME performance, while Balanced Innovation Ambidexterity (BIA) is less relevant. Intellectual resources (human, structural, and relational) also play a significant role in driving MSME innovation and performance. This study recommends the development of adaptive leadership, increasing risk tolerance, and managing intellectual resources effectively to help MSMEs become more competitive through flexible innovation strategies. The CIA approach allows MSMEs to adapt to market changes and provides new contributions to the innovation ambidexterity literature
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. The code base and the corpus can be found at: https://github.com/raheem23/Gender_Identification_Urdu
Ambiguity towards Multiple Historical Performance Information Signals: Evidence from Indonesian Open-Ended Mutual Fund Investors
No full text This study focuses on the behavior of open-ended mutual fund investors when encountered with multiple information signals of mutual fund’s historical performance. The behavior of investors can be reflected on their decision to subscribe or redeem their funds from mutual funds. Moreover, we observe the presence of ambiguity within investors due to multiple information signals, and also their reaction towards it. Our finding shows that open-ended mutual fund investors do not only have sensitivity towards past performance information signals, but also have additional sensitivity towards the ambiguity of multiple information signals. Because of the presence of ambiguity, investors give more consideration to negative information signals and the worst information signal in their investment decisions.

"#KonotopIsTheLandOfTheLegends" by Ruslan Horovy: the strategies of comic creatin
No full textThe article is devoted to poetical features and narrative strategies of the cycle “#KonotopIsTheLandOfTheLegends” by Ruslan Horovy. Their choice is due to the peculiarities of the recipient’s perceiving of the texts in Facebook and the author’s notion about the reader of his writings. The author achieves the comic effect by combining a number of techniques: the standard narrative schema, the conciseness and the savings of language means, the unexpected end, the predominantly smart and sympathetic main character, the reader’s doubts about the reliability of the narrator, intertextuality, and the mockery.Статтю присвячено поетикальним рисам і наративним стратегіям циклу “#КонотопЗемляЛегенд” Руслана Горового, вибір яких зумовлений особливостями сприймання реципієнтом текстів у Facebook та уявленням автора про читача його дописів. Комічного ефекту автор досягає за допомогою комбінування низки прийомів: стандартна схема наративу, лаконічність і економія мовних засобів, неочікувана розв’язка, переважно кмітливий і симпатичний головний персонаж, сумніви читача в надійності наратора, інтертекстуальність, стьоб тощо
