Georgia's Main External Threat and Insurance External Orientations
Authors: Jemal Gakhokidze Jemal Gakhokidze , Nukri Gelashvili Nukri Gelashvili
Published: January 2023

Since the beginning of mankind, concern for survival and therefore safety has been one of the main components of human life. History remembers states and empires that ceased to exist as a result of wars and conquests. The recent past shows that the main threat to Georgia is the unfriendly neighbor Russian Federation with imperialist intentions. This fact is clearly stated in the conceptual documents of our country.
The present paper discusses the important stages of the Russian-Georgian relations since the 15th century and the problems that these relations brought to Georgia. Russia's aggressive policy and aspirations to constantly expand its borders at the expense of conquering natural-geographically protected territories are described.
The author reviews the traditional concepts of Russian politics presented in the scientific literature, which originated in different periods. Special attention is paid to the more radical and extremist direction than "Eurasianism" to "Russism", the same "Rachism", which is the unofficial name of the political ideology of the ruling regime of Russia.
In the visions of modern ideologues of Russia lies the denial of law and the assertion of the priority of force, disrespect for the sovereignty of neighbors and self-assertion at the expense of disorder and violence. The center of the ideology of Russism is the cult of the national leader, who will have the power to restore glory to Russia. This glory lies in its restoration within the borders of "historical Russia", I.E. the Soviet Union, which is the biggest challenge for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia.
The Russian leadership uses the military as one of many tools to shape its "near abroad" and global positions. It has wide interests in the South Caucasus from the military, political, economic and energy point of view. But, the current political leadership of the Russian Federation, objectively, acts from the position of military and economic inferiority towards NATO. It is clear that at this stage, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization appears as one of the main restraining forces of "Russianism" and therefore of Russia's expansionist policy.
According to the author, where the powerful states determining the world order want to create an alliance that will guarantee the protection of their civilizational choices, the preservation of their identity and statehood, Georgia's failure to declare a clear foreign orientation will be disastrous. Accordingly, he believes that Georgia is obliged to clearly express its foreign policy. e. year Balanced politics and the desire to put the conflicting interests of large countries to their own service is an illusory approach that may have once worked.

The Essence of Business Plan and Its Drawing Up Methods
Authors: Sergo Rukhadze Sergo Rukhadze
Published: January 2023

Business Plan is the basic form for planning an entrepreneurial activity and the management - responsible function of the planning.
Any entrepreneurial activity begins with creation of Business Plan.
Business Plan is a document with synthetical content where prognosis with pragmatic (beneficial) nature are given, but in all cases, it plays the advertisement function as well. The included information there should be precise, convincing, and it should provoke optimism of a reader and enthusiasm towards the opportunity offered. It`s obvious that the plan consists of some risky elements as well, but it is not necessary to focus on them.
Furthermore, the tone of plan should be business in order to be seriously perceived by reader. We should foresee that Business Plan will be read by many persons and their attention will be attracted by positive and bright opinions. However, they will turn their back the plan, where the material will be obscurely expressed with the boring tone, with fully unrealized, incorrectly structured text full of orthographical and editorial errors. Besides, the Business Plan is the manual document for fulfilment of business functions. It may be used to check for some entrepreneurial ideas intended.

Published: January 2023

Along with the increasing pace of globalization, the volume of passenger and cargo movement between countries is steadily increasing. International supply chain in modern business activities includes not only the planning of shipment of goods, but much attention is paid to cargo clearance procedures. The growing role of customs authorities has become particularly striking in the face of the international transport collapse caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. If not for timely and correct action, the economic losses caused by the crisis would be much greater than what we are facing today.
Modern business processes are widely related to the transfer of services and goods between countries. Logistics includes a specific group of activities. One part of them includes process supervision. Customs authorities control the movement of goods, vehicles and people across the economic border. What tariff and non-tariff control mechanisms are used to determine the amount of goods and taxes that have the right to enter the country.
These factors accelerated the formation of new directions of logistics.

Published: January 2023

Siendo el cultivo de tomate una hortaliza cultivada en Chone, en las fincas que se dedican a su manejo es fundamental considerar un ajuste en los métodos post cosecha que realizan. El trabajo realizado muestra los resultados obtenidos, revelando la ausencia de un adecuado manejo post cosecha del tomate. El problema se centra en una carencia de buenas prácticas de manejo post cosecha del tomate en sitios productivos dedicados al mismo dentro del cantón Chone. El estudio se aplicó a 20 productores de tomate de 5 poblaciones de rurales del cantón, cuyo objetivo fue determinar y cuantificar las pérdidas post cosecha, en la fase recolección-comercialización, analizando las pérdidas sufridas en la calidad del pimiento debido a factores de manejo, empaque y condiciones de transporte entre las fincas y el centro de comercialización. Los resultados mostraron la clara ausencia de prácticas post cosecha adecuadas y de igual forma los productores no consideran importante la aplicación de estos principios durante la recolección transporte y comercialización del tomate, llegando a la conclusión de que es necesario crear una guía de manejo post cosecha para el cultivo de pimiento para ser aplicado en fincas del cantón Chone.

Authors: Pico Mieles José , Erazo Delgado José , Delgado Gonzembach Janeth
Published: January 2023

El ajedrez surgió en el sur de Europa en la segunda mitad del siglo XV, como evolución del juego persa “Shatranj”, que a su vez tubo origen del más antiguo “Chaturanga”, en la actualidad constituye uno de los juegos de tablero más populares del mundo. Su inicio como deporte y práctica competitiva, se remonta al siglo XVI; su primer campeón mundial fue Wilhelm Steinitz en 1886. Desde el siglo XX, dos organizaciones internacionales, la Federación Mundial de Ajedrez y la Federación Internacional de Ajedrez por correspondencia han organizado y supervisado las competiciones y el funcionamiento de la disciplina.

Su amplia práctica ha llevado a la creación de escuelas que se especializan en su enseñanza y también se ha introducido como asignaturas en instituciones educativas de diversos niveles. Algunos autores describen que su práctica estimula el desarrollo del pensamiento. Con el artículo se pretende argumentar la riqueza que posee en la activación y dinamización de las inteligencias del ser humano, muy en especial en las y los estudiantes. En la construcción del resultado se realizó un análisis de la literatura mediante el cual se pudo determinar los aspectos esenciales de su evolución como deporte y en su introducción en la enseñanza. Como resultados relevantes destaca el análisis teórico de dicha evolución y la propuesta de acciones basadas en temas para incluirlo como actividad curricular en la universidad.

DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH OF A VIBRATING DRYER FOR PROCESSING OF WET DISPERSED WASTE OF FOOD INDUSTRIES
Authors: Ivan Sevostianov
Published: January 2023

One of the most urgent problems of Ukrainian food industry enterprises (in particular, sugar, alcohol, brewery, coffee), as well as enterprises producing fruit and berry juices, is the processing of wet dispersed waste with an initial moisture content of 90-95%. As practice has shown, these wastes after dehydration to a moisture content of 20-25% can be effectively used as valuable additives to agricultural fodder or as fuel. At the same time, the specified final humidity can be ensured by the sequential implementation of mechanical methods of dewatering the processed material on a vibrating screen, in a screw press and vibrating impact load in a closed press-form, which allows to significantly reduce energy costs compared to thermal dehydration. But for longer storage of the specified waste, a moisture content of no higher than 8% is required, which can be achieved only after their additional heat treatment. The article proposes a scheme of a combined dryer in which processed waste sequentially passes through the stages of mechanical dehydration in screw feeders, grinding in a hammer crusher, processing on vibrating screens with spatial dynamic loading and final thermal dehydration in a fluidized state in jets of hot air or steam, which are secondary products of this enterprise. At the same time, the offered dryer provides a closed working process, which allows, if it necessary, to dehydrate the same portion of waste several times until the optimal final moisture is reached. The article also presents equations and dependencies for determining the duration of waste dehydration at each stage of the dryer's work process, its productivity in terms of dehydrated waste and the total power of the electric motors of the proposed equipment. All this allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the considered dryer in comparison with other machines of a similar purpose.
Simulation Study of Thermal Comfort in Residential Building Types: The Case of Lokoja, Nigeria
Authors: Ochedi Ekele Thompson
Published: January 2023

Thermal comfort is an important factor for the design of buildings that offers comfortable indoor environment for the wellbeing of building occupants. There are several residential building typologies at different locations in the world. These includes bungalows, duplexes and block of flats. Despite previous studies on thermal comfort in Nigeria, there is a lack of research data on the performance of different building types, especially in terms of thermal comfort. Hence, this study evolved to investigate three popular types of residential buildings in Nigeria. The research outcome aims to provide data for theoretical evolution on the thermal behavior of these building types. The paper used dynamic thermal simulation, natural ventilation mode to analyze three residential buildings in Lokoja, Nigeria using hourly weather data for a period of 10 years. The simulation results showed that the annual operative temperature for the three cases were 33.360C, 33.620C and 33.650C. This revealed that there is no significant difference between the operative temperatures of the three case studies. However, there were marked differences between both the monthly and annual solar gains of the case buildings. The total annual gains for the three case studies were 24118.27kWh, 20497.90kWh, and 39493.09kWh. Although there was no significant difference in the performances of the case buildings, there performed differently in terms of both operative temperature and solar gains. The simulation results confirmed thermal discomfort in residential buildings in the study area. This calls for improvement in the design of residential buildings in the study area to enhance thermal comfort and reduce energy demand due to overdependence on mechanical cooling systems. This study has provided data that is expected to guide design professionals and other stakeholders in the building industry in their decisions regarding the thermal performance of residential building types in the study area and in similar climates.

Authors: E. Krishna Chaitanya
Published: January 2023

Teacher’s action research is one of the most powerful means of continual professional development (CPD) for English language teaching (ELT) professionals. It is an action-based research which is initiated, conducted and monitored systematically by individual/group of teacher-researchers. It is a method which involves teachers in the assessment and development of their teaching practices.
The study aims to elicit whether English teachers working in engineering colleges of Telangana State have necessary support and opportunities for continuous professional development. It intends to understand the kind of training they have had in designing tailored materials and using appropriate methods in their classroom. Additionally, it investigates whether the use of teacher action research helps teachers in overcoming their problems and to contribute for their professional effectiveness. The research was conducted in two phases i.e. preliminary study and main study. Preliminary study was an attempt to explore problems and challenges faced by the teachers working in professional colleges through structured questionnaires and semi structured interviews. It reveals findings such as limited opportunities for professional development, unsure of designing tailored material and using appropriate methods. These findings led to designing main study where teacher participants were offered two week training on teacher action research. This phase encouraged teachers to identify problems in their texts. prepare model course material to strengthen their texts and test out the material for their effectiveness.

The results of the study indicate that TAR has primarily developed their teaching practices (analysing their teaching systematically, taking feedback for improvement, planning remedial measures collaboratively etc). Secondly, it has enhanced their research skills (searching for required information, reviewing various integrated task types, designing a model course material, publishing classroom research experiences etc). Finally, it has developed awareness of their teaching profession and learners’ problems besides helping them to learn and grow personally and professionally.

He was Born and brought up in India during the 1930s when the freedom struggle in India was at its zenith, World War which lasted from 1939 to 1945 and immediately after that the event of Independence and chopping up of the country, there is a certain trauma involved for the writer who was British in color and blood but Indian in his sensibilities. One of the most important questions which he tries to raise through his fiction is the “abjection “of the Anglo -Indian and English families which remained behind after the independence. The black and white world of the British Raj has been depicted in the ghost stories of Ruskin Bond which are an allegory of wrecked world of the colonizing mission of the empire. The concerns which Bond raises in these stories don’t pertain so much to the natives. These stories underline the decayed situation of the white families left behind after the Raj was over. His ghost stories are a constant reminder of empires hollowed mission in the East and what it has done to its own people.

MOOCs provide a chance for anyone to learn and grow from anywhere in the world. MOOCs must be made accessible to everyone because we all need to be educated about our world to make it a better place. MOOCs offer a variety of educational opportunities that can help students in life-long learning. Massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are free and open to anyone who wants to take them. MOOCs are designed to provide content that is accessible to a wide range of students. The courses are usually self-paced and do not require any formal, on-campus registration. They can be viewed from any gadget with an stable internet connection. The massive open online course has many components out of which one is a pre-course survey to know the background of the students enrolled in it. The objective of present study is to examine a pre-course survey that can help MOOC course developers and instructors to get to know their learners and get a indepth background of the students enrolled in their courses. The survey consists of a demographic questionnaire and was also a question related to their intention and motivation to enroll in the course. Findings revealed that the majority of the students were unaware of what is MOOC and also they are interested to enrol in the present MOOC to explore online learning and engage in life-long learning.

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) imaging of NGC 7469 with the Near-Infrared Camera and the Mid-InfraRed Instrument. NGC 7469 is a nearby, z = 0.01627, luminous infrared galaxy that hosts both a Seyfert Type-1.5 nucleus and a circumnuclear starburst ring with a radius of ∼0.5 kpc. The new near-infrared (NIR) JWST imaging reveals 66 star-forming regions, 37 of which were not detected by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. Twenty-eight of the 37 sources have very red NIR colors that indicate obscurations up to A
v ∼ 7 and a contribution of at least 25% from hot dust emission to the 4.4 μm band. Their NIR colors are also consistent with young (<5 Myr) stellar populations and more than half of them are coincident with the mid-infrared (MIR) emission peaks. These younger, dusty star-forming regions account for ∼6% and ∼17% of the total 1.5 and 4.4 μm luminosity of the starburst ring, respectively. Thanks to JWST, we find a significant number of young dusty sources that were previously unseen due to dust extinction. The newly identified 28 young sources are a significant increase compared to the number of HST-detected young sources (4–5). This makes the total percentage of the young population rise from ∼15% to 48%. These results illustrate the effectiveness of JWST in identifying and characterizing previously hidden star formation in the densest star-forming environments around active galactic nuclei (AGN).
Abba, a new monotypic genus of orb-weaving spiders (Araneae, Araneidae) from Australia
Authors: Castanheira Pedro de S. , Framenau Volker W.
Published: January 2023

A new monotypic genus in the orb-weaving spider family Araneidae Clerck, 1757 is described from Australia:Abbagen. nov., withAbba transversa(Rainbow, 1912)comb. nov.as the type species. It differs from all other genera in the family by somatic characters, specifically a patch of approximately five long spines on the prolateral surface of the first leg in males and an abdominal colouration with a pair of two central spots dorsally on a creamy-white surface. Specimens ofA. transversacomb. nov.have been collected in Queensland and New South Wales, where the species is largely summer-mature. We also provide a genus level summary of all Australian Araneidae, currently consisting of 230 described species and eight subspecies in 46 genera.

4. L’apport de Pigou pour réinventer la fiscalité incitative
Authors: Pharo Julien
Published: January 2023

Le présent article examine l’apport de Pigou sur la fiscalité incitative des entreprises en vue de repenser les principes qui la sous-tendent. En mettant en évidence les effets externes des différentes structures organisationnelles, Pigou a ouvert la possibilité d’utiliser des critères organisationnels pour déterminer, au sein d’un secteur donné, quelles sont les entreprises qu’il conviendrait de taxer ou de subventionner. Alors que l’interprétation habituelle de la taxe Pigou simplifie sa démarche en réduisant cet outil à un moyen d’internaliser les externalités dans le fonctionnement des marchés, l’approfondissement de son intuition éthico-politique de la fiscalité incitative des entreprises pourrait en renouveler les objectifs.
