Published: June 2024

Georgia faces significant challenges, the main of which is the rapid and sustainable development of the country's economy in adherence to the principles of the free market, the establishment of institutions relevant to the modern European and universal democratic values system, the provision of social welfare, and integration into the European and Euro-Atlantic space. Overcoming these challenges and building a modern democratic state requires systemic changes in the management and implementation of state policy. Despite the legislative reforms implemented in the field of migration in recent years, the improvement of legal mechanisms for regulating this area remains a challenge, while certain issues still require legal regulation due to the needs of the beneficiaries. Based on the results of the survey, it is advisable to implement the following measures in order to better integrate internationally protected persons: promoting the teaching of the Georgian language, improving access to public services, employment assistance, budget increase of integration programs.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Sopromadze Zaza , Gvetadze Nino ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: June 2024

Georgia urgently needs pension reform. The disadvantage of the existing pension model was its pressure on the state budget. At the same time, the resent demographical changes, the increase in the life expectancy of pensioners, active aging in the demographic sector, the tendency of the labor force to decrease, the introduction of universal health insurance and other factors have had a significant impact on the country's economy and have highlighted new challenges that have put the sustainability of the state pension system at risk. The discussion of the need of the pension system reform in Georgia has become more and more active in recent years. It should be emphasized that within the expenditure allocation of the state budget, the largest proportion is attributed to social expenditures, with the state pension system claiming the most significant share. The pension scheme operating in Georgia does not guarantee a sufficient standard of living, it provides only a basic income, and that is why the government has prioritized the need of pension reform on the agenda so that the system responds more to the needs of aging populations and ensures their honorable old age as much as possible.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Kokolashvili Irma , Keleptrishvili Shalva ,   Georgian Technical University, Shatilava Irina ,   Georgian National Museum
Published: June 2024

The Sarmatian deposits (Volhynian, Bessarabian and Khersonian regiosubstages) of Eastern Georgia were studied by pollen analysis. In the composition of flora 165 components were determined. Among them are 44 cryptogams, 33 gymnosperms, and 88 angiosperms. The palynological complexes were interpreted by landscapephytocoenological method and in the development of vegetation six stages were established, which reflect the changes in composition of vegetation. The I and II stages correspond to the lower part of Volhynian. The II stage was the initial moment of increasing of grass cover on territory of Eastern Georgia. The III stage, which embraced the most part of Bessarabian, was the climatic optimum, simultaneous in both regions of Georgia. The widening of open stands was reduced in the IV stage and stopped in the V stage (end of Bessarabian and beginning of Khersonian). On territory of Eastern Georgia, the upper part of Khersonian (VI stage) was the time of more broad distribution of open landscapes. As a result, during the Sarmatian stage, the climate in Eastern Georgia was unstable, and humidity levels dropped permanently. The sharper character this phenomenon received in the end of Khersonian stage, after which on territory of Eastern Georgia the open landscapes widely expanded.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Kopaliani Alex , Drdzelishvili Mamuli ,   Georgian Technical University, Nebieridze Vakhtang ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: June 2024

Zero energy buildings belong to the class of low energy consumption buildings, and in them the cost of thermal energy for heating and ventilation systems is reduced to a minimum (almost zero) compared to buildings under construction today. The primary energy expenditure for heating and ventilation, electric and hot water supply of these buildings does not exceed 120 kWh/m2 per year. The said energy is produced on site at the expense of renewable energy, which eliminates the need for fossil heating, including natural gas, in these buildings. The amount of CO2 emitted from these buildings into the environment is zero. Such buildings significantly reduce energy consumption in heating and ventilation systems, that is, they reduce harmful emissions to the environment, which are caused by the burning of fossil fuels in the corresponding heat generators. Zero energy buildings, or zero buildings, as they are often called, are widely implemented in many countries of the world, and their implementation in Georgia is an important issue for the development of the country, which is provided by the law of Georgia on energy efficiency. The use of the materials presented in the article will contribute to the saving of heating and energy resources in the country in such an energy-intensive direction as construction.

Authors: Al-Hayany Sarah Ali Muhammad , Obaid Ayad Assi Obaid
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to find an accurate propagation program for the rootstock of peach Prunus persica cv. Garnem. The apical shoots and nodes of this rootstock were used as explants for the stages of initiation and multiplication, and they were planted on MS medium after adding different concentrations of Active Charcoal (AC), Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), and Benzyl adenine (BA). The shoots were planted for the purpose of rooting on MS medium containing different concentrations of salts (1/4 MS, 1/2 MS and full MS salts) with different concentrations of IBA. In the establishment phase, the apical shoots grown on medium supplied with AC were given the highest response rate, the highest average length of plantlet, and the highest number of leaves. The best multiplication of explants in terms of the number of shoots and their length were obtained when cultivated on a medium supplemented with BA at 1 and 2 mg.L-1, whereas the application of BA at 1 mg. L-1 to the cultivated nodes gave the highest number of leaves. The best rooting percent was obtained when plantlets were s treated with 2 mg. L-1 was applied to 1/4 MS medium. The highest number of roots was obtained from plantlets grown in 1/2 MS medium treated with IBA at 3 mg.L-1, whereas the longest root was obtained from plantlets grown in 1/2 MS medium treated with 1 mg.L-1IBA.

Authors: Aseyev Georgii
Published: June 2024

The analysis of the preservation of funds of documents of national memory and identity as a part of the cultural heritage of the country of funds of libraries, archives, and museums is carried out. Classic methods of preserving documents, such as restoration and conservation on the one hand are quite expensive, on the other hand, do not provide wide access to users. Even under all favorable conditions and with maximum funding, it is impossible to achieve 100% preservation of documents. Over time, paper documents still "age". Progressive is the way to obtain electronic files, especially for older copies, using contactless scanners. Their recommendations for working with such various funds, which are in libraries, archives, and museums, are given. The analysis of these funds showed that they have different local goals and objectives and the level of automation. The interaction of libraries, archives, and museums can be productive and find new meanings only at the level of seminars, conferences, scientific, exhibitions, publishing, information-educational projects, etc.

The relevance of the chosen topic of communicative effectiveness of promotion on Instagram is based on the need to increase the use of evidence-based research, which would provide the analysis of techniques, components and methods of promotion through social networks, including in particular the Instagram platform. The purpose of this research is to determine the algorithm for the formation of communicative effectiveness of entertainment projects on Instagram social network on the example of case studies of such companies as Netflix, Epicfunnypage, Be.bloome, implemented in 2019. The methodological basis of the study is the set of scientific research methods such as analysis and synthesis, comparison and system approach. The study results have revealed the peculiarities of how brands form the systems of promotion complexes through the social network. The analysis has identified the main metrics of the studied Instagram pages, which are elements of the strategy formation of each project. Special attention is paid to the fact that the projects of different scales and entertainment areas have required different promotion strategies, which have showed communication effectiveness, in particular, the followers' number and engagement, the number of reactions on the page, the speed of effective project promotion. After considering all of the examples mentioned above, it has been found that there is no universal way to promote Instagram page. The study has confirmed the assumption that the entertainment projects promotion on the Instagram platform requires a comprehensive, attentive and situational approach to the choice of not only the page promotion methods, but also the efficacy evaluation of the promotion itself. The results of the study revealed that the new projects can be promoted and hold the lead by occupying a specific niche and choosing the right set of performance efficacy evaluation under conditions of high competition of entertainment projects on Instagram.
