Authors:   National Aviation University, Radchenko Olena , Voichenko Tetiana ,   State University Infrastructure and Technology, Kazanska Olena ,   National Aviation University
Published: February 2023

The article examines the use of marketing audit as an effective tool in the field of managing the activities of a transport enterprise. In the conditions of an unstable economy and intensifying competition on the market, transport companies are offered the use of modern marketing tools, which will allow timely response to changes in the external and internal environment and will serve as a basis for justified management decisions with the aim of increasing the efficiency of functioning and improving competitive positions in the markets. It is noted that the marketing audit in the control system of the transport enterprise has not yet become widespread, which is connected with the unpreparedness of the managers of enterprises for new approaches to the analysis and assessment of business based on a high level of marketing theory. Marketing audit tools were adapted to assess the efficiency of transport enterprises, in particular, the efficiency of the enterprises' use of non-traditional methods and techniques of market activity. The use of a group of evaluation factors and questions that need to be answered during the marketing audit of a transport enterprise is proposed as a methodological technique of the audit. The authors claim that a marketing audit allows for an analysis of the compliance of the company's goals, mission, and strategy with consumer requirements and its correction if necessary; to determine the correspondence between the needs of consumers and the products (services) provided by the enterprise, the level of their satisfaction with the product (service) and possible ways to improve it; conduct an analysis of the enterprise environment at the micro and macro levels in order to determine negative and positive factors of influence; develop measures to minimize the impact of negative factors, as well as a set of actions to maximize the use of favorable factors to obtain additional profit; conduct an analysis of the competitive environment and the company's place on the market to determine competitive advantages and strengthen them; conduct an analysis of the effectiveness of the company's marketing policy and its competitiveness relative to the main competitors, as well as the development of optimization measures. It was concluded that marketing audit services are a rather promising direction for the development of an independent form of control, since marketing audit can become one of the tools of business analysis and assessment. At the same time, this type of audit does not prevent cooperation with other control bodies, and in many respects complements them.

Authors:   National Aviation University, Kolesnyk Maksym
Published: February 2023

This article examines the development of corporate values of international companies, the formation and implementation of which in subsidiaries or other controlled companies allow to achieve a stable economic activity on domestic markets. The research was based on a study of the practical operations of the Swiss transnational corporation ‘Nestlé Société Anonyme’ (below Nestlé), one of the world’s largest producers of food products. This company’s business model involves owning and controlling a large number of controlled entities in a large number of international markets. The analysis of the world sustainability indices shows that the company has achieved considerable success in shaping a sustainable development of its activities both in the commercial aspect and in the implementation of the ideas, approaches and principles of corporate social responsibility. Despite more than 100 years of historical formation of corporate principles of Nestlé’s activity management, our analysis detected the presence of correlation of their values with the current principles of corporate social responsibility, which is also the case in their subsidiaries. The systematization of the above mentioned and stakeholder management methods allowed us to propose a conceptual model of marketing strategy for a modern sustainable positioning of an international company in the international markets, further induction of which will allow to activate scientific research in this way.

Argumentative Logic and Forms of Dialogismin Epistolary Discourse
Authors:   Ilia State University, Dokhturishvili Mzagho
Published: February 2023

The present work deals with the study of some peculiarities of an epistolary dis­course in fiction on the basis of argumentative logic and the forms of dialogism. The problem of relationship among dialogism, polyphony and intertextuality are also discussed. Although many conference sand works focuse on this problem quite a few books have been written about the relationship among these three phenom­enons. Existence of a discourse depends on these phenomenons. The work discusses the novel ‘La Vagabonde’ – by Colette. The novel is char­acterized by a number of noticeable peculiarities of style. Narration is given in the first person. The appearance of the different genre of discourse – epistle is in the third part of the novel. But it is not given in a perfect way. Narrator that is cited as prototype of the author gives quotations from her letter. To know the answers of the addressee is possible by reading the letters of Renée Néré.
The Introduction to Kartlis Tskhovreba and its Historical - Territorial Conception
Authors: Pataridze Lela
Published: February 2023

The Karthlis Tskhovreba, a corpus of writings of historiographic character, occupies a central place in medieval Georgian historiographic tradition reflecting the history of Georgia from the beginning to the 17th century inclusive. The corpus comprises historical writings of different periods, among which most controversial in modern scholarship is its opening part, in which, traditionally, historical narrative is identified as from the beginning to the 5th century, and from the 5th to the 8th century inclusive. Both these parts are also referred to in the specialist literature as the opening part of the Karthlis Tskhovreba . The first work is entitled The Life of the Kings and Forefathers and Descendants (in brief: The Life of the Kings). According to the view accepted in Georgian scholarly circles, its author is Leonti Mroveli (11th cent.), while the other _ entitled The Life of Vakhtang Gorgasali _ is attributed to Ilarion Juansheri, an author of the same century. Notwithstanding the established view, both the composition of the opening part of the KTs, the dates of its writing and editing, as well as the attribution of the text is still the subject of debate among scholars. Some researchers date it to the 8th century (Manana Sanadze, Giorgi Anchabadze, Edisher Khoshtaria-Brosset), but there are attempts to date individual sections of this source to a still earlier period (Vakhtang Goiladze, Manana Sanadze). I believe that such divergence of opinions is due to the lack of consideration of the genre specificity of the KTs as an integral and continuous historiographic tradition and inadequate research into the ideological and world view aspects of its individual sections.
The Nekresi ‘‘Big Square‘‘
Authors:   Ilia State University, Kipiani Guram
Published: February 2023

The Nekresi “Big Square” illustrated that a new architectural idea has been conceived, however it could not expand. It was an attempt of monastery concept development and we could not even suppose how this religious doctrine may appear in reality. However, it obviously created a new Georgian architectural theme – so-called “three-church” basilica, the type of basilica where walls divide naves, but not columns. “Three-church” basilica (the term established by Giorgi Chubinashvili) is suggested to be a Georgian phenomenon. It is worth of mentioning that Nekresi early Christian monastery complex (fourth-seventh centuries), which overlooks the Nekresi “Big Square”, consists of several churches of “three-church” basilica type.
Times to Fight and Times to Relax: Singing and Humming at The Beginnings of Human Evolutionary History
Authors: Jordania Joseph
Published: February 2023

The article discusses the function of music in human evolution and suggests that music initially had a binary form of expression, serving several important adaptive functions of physical survival. These two main forms of expressions were: (1) Loud and rhythmically precisely organized singing, coupled with threatening body movements, loud drumming and stone throwing. This form was a key factor for (a) defending hominids from predators, (b) providing them with protein-rich food via aggressive scavenging, and (3) strengthenng bonds between the group members; (2) Soft and gentle humming, which was a key factor to allow hominids (1) to maintain contact within group, (2) to watch out for predators, and (3) to relax.

Logic of Divination on the Evidence of De divinatione by Cicero
Authors:   Ilia State University, Sukhishvili Tamar
Published: February 2023

This paper demonstrates the logical basis of the philosophic opinions of the Stoics and New Academy on divination; it focuses on the essence and needs assessment of divination phenomenon in general. Cicero’s treatise has been studied for the following reasons: it provides valuable information not only about the ancient practice of divination but also the Stoic divination theory. The paper discusses both the arguments that back up divination practice and the counter arguments based on the logical ground. Though the popular arguments supporting divination are hardly convincing and in Cicero’s opinion have no logical proof, divination remains to be a very popular phenomenon. It is noteworthy that in his discourse Cicero concentrates on the scheme suggested by the Stoics: if x… then y. According to him there is a conflict between these propositions (x and y), where the first proposition is not a true conditional and thus could not be the basis for the following conclusions. Thus, the opinions of Cicero and the Stoics clash over the issues of logic which lead to the differences in argumentation.
Cultural Continuity at Samshvilde
Authors:   Ilia State University, Demetradze Irina
Published: February 2023

Recent archaeological excavations conducted near the village of Samshvilde in eastern Georgia have helped to document striking elements of cultural continuity through a long period of time. A small parcel of land, ca. 2400m2 in area, revealed traces of human activity from four separate cultural periods. A multi-layered site, Samshvilde yielded Chalcolithic, Late Bronze Age, Hellenistic, and Medieval materials. In addition pottery fragments attributed to Middle Bronze Age (Trialeti culture) have been found out of context on the site. Important floral and faunal data obtained from the site also established a number of environmental sequences and provided useful historical insights. Field investigations came in the form of rescue excavations carried out in quite difficult circumstances occasioned by natural demolition and pipeline construction. Consequently, full documentation was not always possible. However a number of key overall research themes were identified, each of which relate to questions of importance to Georgian Archaeology. Namely, the presence of critical links between the chalcolithic and the subsequent Kura-Araxes culture and the persistence of certain, specific settlement patterns and building methods through a number of different cultural periods. We hope, the presentation of these results will stimulate the further exploration of these various themes.
The Chronotope of Shota Rustaveli’s Romance “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” in the Context of Theory of Liminality
Authors:   Tbilisi State University, Elbakidze Maka
Published: February 2023

The Knight in the Panther’s Skin, the most significant text of Georgian Literature, written by Shota Rustaveli in the late Middle Ages, belongs to a chivalry romance from the standpoint of genre. Conceptually it represents the worthy reintegration of Medieval Georgian literary processes in European literary traditions. Within the scope of comparative analysis, the Georgian author, in general, reveals various interesting reference to the European authors of chivalry romances (Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram Von Eschenbach, anonymous authors of English Gawain and he Green Knight, and Spanish El Cantar de Mio Cid (The Lay of The Cid), etc). However, at present the subject of our interest is the analysis of the texts of The Knight in the Panther’s Skin alongside the European chivalry romance in the context of anthropological theory of liminality. From this viewpoint, it is crucial to observe the chronotope of The Knight in the Panther’s Skin, where an alternative characteristic of liminality is clearly pointed out (real/ adventurous time; “self”, well-organized space/ “others”, chaotic space). Similar alternatives are singled out in European chivalry romances – due to the specificity of the genre, time-spatial paradigm is strongly connected with the individual paradigm of a character. An inseparable part of the above mentioned problem is the study of personages’ images in order to explain their psycho-emotional side: the motif of wandering, questing, intermingled with the convention of roaming captures the personage in the gap existing between the worlds, the alternative structures to be found “here” and “there”. The individualization of personages is pointed out against the background of “mystical travels”, “transitivity” and alternative time-space dichotomy.
The Notion of “Chosen People” in Georgian Hagiography
Authors:   Ilia State University, Tchkoidze Eka
Published: February 2023

For the study of religious factor’s influence on shaping a national identity during the medieval period Georgian hagiographic texts of 10th-11th c. are of special interest. We shall refer to three texts: the long version of the “Life of Hilarion the Georgian” by an anonymous author (10th-11th c.), the “Life of John and Euthymios” by George the Athonite (11th c.) and the “Life of George the Athonite” by George the Hieromonachos (11th c.). All of them contain information about Georgian messianic belief and they were composed outside Georgia. This is quite logical because such a belief needs special environment. The role of such an environment played the Georgian Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos.
Language of Hand in Homeric Epic
Authors:   Ilia State University, Sukhishvili Tamar
Published: February 2023

The paper focuses on the somatic word hand and its uses in Homeric epic. The paper aims at defining the functions and meanings of this body part in Homeric poems as well as sorting out how these meanings are reflected in the language. The chief lexeme for denoting hand in old Greek is ή χείρ with the basic meaning of upper extremities of a human, hand, hand and arm. It is used also to denote paw or hand of an animal, but there is no evidence of this meaning in Homer, it is found in the later texts. The high frequency of the uses of this word is not unusual. Hand is a body part that can speak symbolic language. Speaking about the frequency of somatic words during the process of metaphorization, J. Vendryes mentions that the metaphor of hand is one of the most widespread one. According to him, hand is the main human instrument; a man usually does his work by his hands, and there is a variety of jobs done with the help of hands. Having considered the above-mentioned opinion the frequency of figurative phrases containing the word hand becomes evident [Vendryes 1931:203] (cf.monkeys do not have hands, they have body parts for catching the things. A hand is a human attribute; the attribute of the living creature that has speaking ability, i.e. cognition). The basic contextual uses of χείρ (hand) in Homeric epic are as follows: 1. Hand is a basic instrument of daily life. 2. Hand is an instrument of gesticulation. It is widely used in body language. 3. Hand symbolic is a source for metaphorization. And in all these three cases hand refers to the connection between human and environment.

On the Origin of Mtskheta (Urban Space, Time and Geography)
Authors:   Ilia State University, Kipiani Guram
Published: February 2023

The article presumes that the river Aragvi changed its direction in the late 1st c BC and before that its bed directed to a totally different direction. Thus, if that was the actual state of affairs, the kings settled in Armaztsikhe could not have designated any urban area on the territory of modern Mtskheta. Without the r. Aragvi it would have been entirely unattractive for urban development. Only later, when the Aragvi created an unequaled environment for urban development, the kings of Armazistsikhe immediately started building a new capital of Kartli. The history of Leonti Mroveli, according to which Mtskheta had been the capital of Kartli from the very beginning, can be explained by his desire to involve the capital of Georgia into the cultural-historical processes from the very start.

The Vestiment Of The Body Politic (From The King's Vestiment To The National Dress)
Authors:   Ilia State University, Andronikashvili Zaal
Published: February 2023

This article reconstructs Georgian political theology of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by analysing the vestimentary code as reflected in the portraits of Georgian kings. Political theology had not been the subject of explicit juridical, political or historiographical discourse since the fourteenth century, and therefore has to be elicited from other sources. The author demonstrates how Georgians kings, starting from Teimuraz I, had been confronted with issues of the proper representation of their kingship, and dealing with the awkward fact of being Christian kings and vassals of Muslim emperors at the same time. This article focuses on their strategies of legitimizing their kingship by means of various representational methods. The final two chapters demonstrate how the national body politic was born after the disappearance of the monarchical body and the way it inherited the previous problems of representability, both in terms of the body politic per se, as well as that of the national body; and how the solution to the above problems was provided by the ‘tergdaleulebi’ generation, the architects of the modern Georgian nation educated abroad.

On Some Implications of Ilia Chavchavadze’s Barakala
Authors:   Ilia State University, Doborjginidze Nino
Published: February 2023

Georgia’s unification with Russia has been assessed on many occasions from various perspectives: artistic and metaphorical, cultural and historical, political and pragmatic, and many others, whether mixed or homogeneous. Two of these assessments stand out most clearly in our memory: Nikoloz Baratashvili: “The road was opened and the Iverians were given hope to receive education from there”; Ilia Chavchavadze: “What? Twenty generals in this handful of people! [...]Barakala! [Bravo!] Orthodox Russia! Fame and glory! Wherever it treads, it establishescivilization”.This article in no way means to question these two perspectives or to offer a third one. Rather, it is aimed at researching the essence of the perspectives. I mean research into the explicit content of Ilia Chavchavadze’s metaphorical assessment – Barakala! – on the basis of hitherto unknown or little known Georgian-Italian sources. These sources include materials kept in the historical archives of Propaganda Fide in Rome, and in the archives of the Capuchins, Theatines, and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.

The results of the study explain that the use of production inputs for the two rice farming patterns of the Tabela system and the Tapin system is not significantly different except for the use of seeds. Tabela rice farming system is more responsive to the use of production inputs. Farmers’ preferences for production risk are risk takers. The allocation of the use of urea fertilizer and pesticides is a risk averter, while the use of seeds, NPK fertilizer, and labor is a risk taker. Productivity, revenue, income, RC ratio, and profit were higher in the Tabela farming system than the Tapin system and were significantly different.
