Abstract. The starting point for economic policy analysis is the difference between what exists and what should exist. Therefore, opinions (views) about what should be, can be used to assess the observed economic situation and development. Therefore, it is possible to come up with recommendations on how to avoid differences between what exists and what should exist. In reality, we find factual events that any person can check. There are also desirable events that go beyond such a check. It is on the basis of their comparison that the content of both evaluations and recommendations is formed. Normative views express subjective desires, so the result of the evaluation can not be considered "right” or “wrong”. It is possible that the entity (or economic interest group) will consider them acceptable or even reject them. In the context of shaping economic policy, in the process of determining the long-term socio-economic development prospects of the country, it is very important to ensure the Targeted orientation of macroeconomic parameters. In addition, the level of economy and social sphere of a particular country, the state of entrepreneurial activity, and the business environment in general, the peculiarities of cultural characteristics should be taken into account. The systematic representation of the goal complex and its reflection in the process of economic policymaking becomes especially relevant in development emergencies and in conditions of increased uncertainty. Knowledge economics and digital technologies allow the development of a long-term socio-economic strategy with more adequate and better goal orientation.

Abstract. This article explores the efficacy of the Agile method in managing business projects, which enables companies to attain a competitive edge and sustain dynamic capabilities amidst rapidly evolving global circumstances.
The article focuses on the "Agile" transformation, which is identified as a key priority for companies facing unpredictable changes in both the global context and in Georgia. This transformation is being implemented gradually, in line with contemporary challenges, and involves reshaping the hierarchical structure of organizations and redistributing functions based on employees' abilities, with the goal of creating professional teams. Consequently, the study aims to develop a strategy for efficient project management in Georgian companies and explore effective ways to implement it.
The research findings uncovered the primary obstacles to companies transitioning to the method of rapid management of innovative business projects: challenges pertaining to organizational culture, resistance to change, lack of management support, unmotivated teams, and low skills among team members.
The challenges associated with implementing the Agile methodology in the project management process were identified as follows: gaining competitiveness in the international and regional market, limited practical experience in IT Agile, and introducing innovations that do not align with user needs when using the waterfall method.
The positive aspects of the rapid management of innovative business projects were assessed as follows: flexibility, customer collaboration, enhancement of goods and services through the implementation of short cycle processes, and incremental innovations aimed at meeting customer requirements.
Through research, the alignment of the values of companies utilizing modern project management methods in Georgia with the principles of Agile project management was examined. These principles include teamwork, increased autonomy, high trust, customer feedback, enhanced adaptability to change, improved communication within and between teams, and the implementation of a results-oriented control process.
The effectiveness of the Agile method was found to be contingent upon the development of a long-term motivational strategy. This strategy is based on two key factors: firstly, the creation and maintenance of a competent team, and secondly, ongoing collaboration with customers.

Abstract: Proper management of logistics systems in the 21st century is one of the most important prerequisites for business development. In the modern post-covid period, against the background of the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, the sanctions imposed by the West on Russia, the cancellation of the visa regime by the Russian Federation with Georgia and the restoration of air traffic allowed Russian citizens to enter European countries through Georgia, which further increased the transit attractiveness of Georgia. The study of the specifics of logistics systems management, the detection of existing problems in this field was on the agenda.
The purpose of the research is to study the specifics of the transit-logistics corridor of Georgia, to study the challenges in this field and to search for ways to solve them. In this article, based on the review of various literary sources, the main issues of management of the logistics system of Georgia are analyzed.
In this article, the methods of analysis, synthesis, collection and grouping of materials were used, on the basis of which the transit potential of Georgia was identified and the ways of its implementation were determined.
As a result of the research, the factors hindering the sustainable development of the logistics system of Georgia were identified, the elimination of which will help to increase the competitiveness of the logistics system of Georgia and the qualification level of the personnel employed in them.
In order to eliminate the challenges in the logistics systems of Georgia, we have developed recommendations, the consideration of which will significantly improve the management mechanism of modern logistics systems.

Abstract. Business activity and its various directions change parallel to global political-social-economic processes, and they frequently must adjust to new, occasionally unanticipated situations and change their activities fundamentally. The sustainability of entrepreneurial activity is ultimately impacted by how responsive it is to external influences and how frequently appropriate management techniques of the processes must be changed. The paper analyzes the legal grounds of the status of small and medium-sized business organisations in Georgia and their classification criteria, and discusses the historical experience and international practice of giving such status. The article also analyzes the dynamics of economic indicators and special taxing regimes, based on which conclusions are formed taking into account the particulars of various business entity categories and special regimes. The article discusses various theories and offers recommendations, which will be interesting and noteworthy for a wide audience with an interest in this topic.

Published: August 2023

PurposeThe early diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) enables early intervention for the modifiable risk factors of the disease. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected incidentally on standard noncontrast chest computed tomography (CT) provides an opportunity for the early diagnosis of CAD. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that CAC should be routinely reported when evaluating thoracic CT examinations. Routine reporting of CAC will contribute to the early diagnosis of CAD.Material and methodsThe present study included 279 patients who underwent conventional coronary angiography (CAG) and CT within one month before undergoing CAG. The CAG and CT images of the patients were evaluated retrospectively. The levels of coronary artery stenosis were determined in reference to the CAG images. The CAC scores of the patients were calculated using the Weston method based on their chest CT images.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 63.2 ± 11.5 (range, 41-93) years, and 172 (61.6%) of them were men. The Weston score (WS) was 0 in 18.9% of the patients with obstructive CAD (OCAD), whereas it was ≥ 7 in 27.9% of patients. All patients with a WS of ≥ 7 had OCAD. All patients without luminal stenosis or < 50% stenosis had a WS of < 7.ConclusionsThe CAC score is useful for the diagnosis of CAD and OCAD. If CAC is identified on standard noncontrast chest CT, it should be scored and reported accordingly. The WS can be used for CAC scoring.

PurposeThe purpose of this work was to establish a database of tissue sodium concentration (TSC) in the normal brain of healthy volunteers. Tissue sodium concentration can be used as a sensitive marker of tissue viability in stroke or radiation therapy monitoring.Material and methodsThirty-seven volunteers were scanned with a 23Na protocol in the span of one year; within this group, 29 studies were of acceptable quality. The study was approved by the Local Bioethics Committee. Data were acquired during a single magnetic resonance (MR) scanner session. The single scanner session consisted of <sup>23</sup>Na 3D radial gradient echo (GRE) acquisition, MPRage, SPACE-FLAIR, and Resolve-DTI. MPRage images were segmented to obtain masks of the grey matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which were registered to the sodium image space for image analysis. Images were transformed into TSC maps – a signal calibration curve obtained from the reference phantom of known sodium concentration and known relaxation time.ResultsThe collected data were analysed in 2 different ways: volunteers were divided by sex and by age. No significant differences in TSC were found between sexes. In all comparisons there was a significant difference in TSC between younger and older volunteers. In healthy volunteers mean TSC were as follows: GM 33.21 ± 4.76 mmol/l, WM 28.41 ± 4.03 mmol/l and for CSF 41.3 ± 6.69 mmol/l.ConclusionsThis preliminary work is a base for further work with sodium imaging in brain lesions. The entirety of the col­lected data will be useful in the future as a baseline brain TSC for comparison to values obtained from pathologies.

Authors: Baba Akira , Kurokawa Ryo , Kurokawa Mariko , Srinivasan Ashok 
Published: August 2023

PurposeCurrently, there is no definitive consensus on the optimal imaging modality for determining the treatment response in patients with skull base osteomyelitis (SBO). This study aimed to investigate the utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as treatment response markers of SBO.Material and methodsThis study included 6 patients with SBO, who underwent both pre- and post-treatment DCE-MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Quantitative DCE-MRI parameters and ADC of the region-of-interest were analysed. These normalized parameters were calculated by dividing the region-of-interest by the reference region. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare these parameters between pre- and post-treatment periods.ResultsThe normalized fraction of the extravascular extracellular space (V<sub>e</sub>) and ADC of the post-treatment status of SBO was significantly lower than those of pre-treatment measures (<i>p</i> = 0.03). The normalized fraction of blood plasma (V<sub>p</sub>), normalized rate of transfer from the blood plasma into the extravascular extracellular space (K<sub>trans</sub>), and normalized backflow leakage of material from the extravascular extracellular space into the blood plasma (K<sub>ep</sub>) demonstrated no significant differences between pre- and post-treatment.ConclusionsDCE-MRI parameters V<sub>e</sub> and ADC demonstrated a significant reduction when comparing measures across the pre- and post-treatment periods. These parameters may potentially serve as a valuable surrogate treatment response marker for SBO activity.

Published: August 2023

Müzik gelenekleri, yaşayan ve toplumsal bir olgu olarak doğası gereği değişim ve süreklilik ikiliğinde bir denge arayışındadır. Bu ikilik durumunda değişime yönelik eğilim, o toplumun ortak çıkarlarıyla ilişkili olmalıdır ve bir konsensüse ihtiyaç duyar. Sivil toplum örgütlerinin bu değişim üzerindeki rolü kamuoyu üretebilme, kurumsal olarak tekrar eden pratiklerle ve mensuplarının toplu çabalarıyla bunu içinde bulundukları toplumun kültürel yaşamına sirayet ettirebilme güçleri bakımından önemlidir. Hatta oluşturdukları kamuoyu ile rızaya dayalı bir gündem oluşturabilme kabiliyetlerinden dolayı devletin baskıcı politikalarından çok daha hızlı ve kalıcı etki gösterebilmeleri dikkat çekicidir.
Osmanlı Devleti’nin yönetim anlayışında odaklanılan alanlardan biri olmayan kültürel hayat, dönemin sivil toplum örgütü niteliğindeki yerel veya ülke sınırlarında farklı yerlerde kurumsal yapılanmasını inşa etmiş lonca ve tarikat gibi oluşumların ürettiği kamuoyundan etkilenmiştir. Mevlevihaneler de başta Konya ve İstanbul olmak üzere Osmanlı Devleti sınırları boyunca pek çok noktada devletin ihmal ettiği müzik alanında kurumsal himayesi ve oluşturduğu sanat kamuoyu ile günümüzde sivil toplum örgütlerinin oynadığı rolü yerine getirmiştir. Bu çalışma, Mevlevihanelerin Osmanlı ve Konya müzik kültüründeki önemli etkisinin sivil toplum örgütü rolü bağlamında nasıl gerçekleştiğini incelemeyi amaçlar

Lagu yakni bagian dari jenis dari hak cipta yang telah mendapatkan perlindungan hukum dari perbuatan yang merugikan pencipta lagu sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 mengenai Hak Cipta. Setiap orang maupun kegiatan usaha seperti restoran/café boleh memanfaatkan lagu dari seorang pencipta secara komersial dalam pelayanan publik asalkan memenuhi persyaratan dan mekanisme yang ditentukan serta membayar royalti. Namun secara yuridis normatif, baik Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 maupun Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 56 Tahun 2021 tidak menjelaskan pengertian pemanfaatan lagu secara komersial tersebut serta mengenai prosedur pembayaran royalti, masalah ini tentunya memerlukan kepastian hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, maka Pertama, Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 56 Tahun 2021 telah menentukan mengenai pemanfaatan lagu secara komersial dalam pelayanan publik. Namun tidak menentukan dan menjelaskan maksud dari pemanfaatan lagu secara komersial dalam pelayanan publik, hal ini perlu pengaturan secara jelas demi kepastian hukum. Kedua, Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 56 Tahun 2021 menentukan maka setiap orang yang memanfaatkan lagu secara komersial dalam pelayanan publik wajib membayar royalti. Namun tidak ditentukan mengenai prosedur pembayaran royalti tersebut, hal ini perlu diatur secara jelas demi kepastian hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemanfaatan lagu secara komersial dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 56 Tahun 2021 mengenai Royalti Hak Cipta Lagu dan/atau Musik. Kemudian bagaimana prosedur pembayaran royalti atas pemanfaatan ciptaan lagu secara komersial dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 56 Tahun 2021 mengenai Royalti Hak Cipta Lagu dan/atau Musik. Penelitian ini memakai jenis penelitian hukum normatif, yaitu penelitian terhadap data sekunder berupa bahan-bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier yang dikumpulkan melalui studi Pustaka.
Vedere il Barocco
Authors: Cavanna Pierangelo 
Published: August 2023

La documentazione fotografica delle architetture barocche, qui considerate in alcuni esempi piemontesi, ha accompagnato la crescita della loro fortuna critica. Essa ha costituito però anche una feconda occasione di verifica delle stesse modalità narrative della fotografia, testimoniando il passaggio dall’intenzione descrittiva, propria della cultura ottocentesca, e quindi dalle formalizzazioni moderniste, ad una volontà più compiutamente interpretativa, dove la fotografia si rivela essere strumento di lettura critica tanto più efficace quanto più aderente alle logiche della visualità barocca, fino a rischiare una reinvenzione fotografica di quelle stesse architetture.

Published: August 2023

This research was conducted to identify and analyze the main character of The Nightingale film using a literary psychology approach with the objective to analyze the depiction of the main character. This was a qualitative method. In obtaining the data, this research was conducted by watching The Nightingale film several times and analyzing Clare as the main character in the film. The researcher also uses the theory of emotion’s classification from David Krech. Results of the research found out that Clare as the main character of The Nightingale film had carried seven classifications of emotions, those data were one datum of guilt concept, two data of penetrated guilt, two data of punishing yourself, one datum of shame, four data of sadness, four data of hatred, and three data of love. From those 7 classifications, it was dominated with hatred concept. This proves that the driving force that causes change is very strong compared to other concepts. It can be seen from the storyline of the main character in The Nightingale film, that Clare's character was actually a kind person, but unfortunately she was always treated badly by people around her. This is the reason why Clare was full of resentment and determined to take a revenge for all kind of miserable things she went through.
