A monograph prepared based on the results of the research carried out within the framework of the project “Stages of development of glazed ceramic ornament and its scientific cataloging (Grant No. FR-21-8738)”. The research was carried out at the LEPL N. Berdzenishvili Kutaisi State Historical Museum. Man began making ceramic vessels and painting them with intricate ornaments in prehistoric times, and since then this activity has become an integral part of his life. The foundation for covering ceramic vessels with glaze has been laid since time immemorial. Its history spans millennia. The development of this field in Georgia is mainly associated with the Middle Ages (VIII-XVIII centuries). In this regard, the territory of the city of Kutaisi is no exception, as evidenced by the very interesting fragments and artifacts of glazed ceramics discovered during archaeological expeditions led by Professor Omar Lanchava in 1984-2010 years. These materials are valuable in that they can provide a clear answer to many questions related to the problem of identifying analogies and characteristic features of glazed ceramics, the study of historical, cultural, and socio-economic relations with near and far abroad, etc. The collection includes materials made by local craftsmen as well as materials brought from other regions; in addition, there are samples molded on the basis of foreign traditions. Despite the diversity of the collection, the traditions of glazed ceramics production in the territory of the city of Kutaisi and the history of its development have not yet been sufficiently represented in scientific literature; the ornamental decor of ceramics with historical and ethnographic references, aspects of its artistic and stylistic development, traces of foreign influences, etc. have also been poorly studied. In this regard, the Kutaisi collection is considered a rich source. Here are fragments of pottery, which were decorated with various ornamental motifs – geometric (lobes, rings, concentric circles, ovals), floral (stylized leaves, flowers, branches, curls); floral-geometric; Zoological (various birds, fishes, wild animals), abstract compositions and various symbols (religious, solar disk and dragon). The mentioned ornaments have significant artistic and scientific value. From here, we consider it a worthwhile task to study and analyze the stages of early development and introduce them into scientific discourse. Within the scope of the above-mentioned project, the history of glazed ceramics production was elucidated through the analysis of the remains of ceramic workshops and glazed artifacts found as a result of archaeological research in the Kutaisi region, in particular, in the territory of the Kutaisi Fortress and the city; structural-typological analysis and grouping of ornamental decor; Analysis of its historical and artistic transformation from the earliest epoch – through comparison with the ornamentation of ceramics of neighboring regions and the search for parallels on other monuments (monumental and miniature painting, stone reliefs, embossed icons, decorative enamel, textiles). An unofficial article and report for symposia – both in Georgia and abroad – were prepared and published by the project authors: Kartsidze N., Lanchava O., Ugrekhelidze I., Sulaberidze D., Sarava N.

A great number of policy experts and policy makers took part in the conference and presented their challenging views on the state of agricultural economy in the Eurasian Economic Union and its development prospects in the era of globalization and integration.We are pleased to introduce the Conference Proceedings containing a selection of high-quality papers from contributed presentations in the conference. These papers present an integrated approach to agricultural systems, economic development, and the environment, which is highly necessary in order to respond to a number challenges in conditions of increasing globalization and integration. The intensification and diversification of agricultural systems is observed due to the rapid social development and economic growth in different parts of the world. Such tendencies cause increasing impact on natural resources and lead to unpredictable environmental consequences. Also, agricultural systems are under stress from climate change, environmental degradation, and population growth. The current institutions, policies, and agricultural technologies can hardly cope with such rapid changes. The featured papers present a wide variety of opinions and address these challenges in a comprehensive and innovative ways. Thus, the resulted collection of papers is of interest to a wide audience, including not only specialists and experts with a detailed knowledge of the topic, but also scholars, lecturers, and undergraduates of various fields of economics.Aleksei V.

The results of evaluation of 30 collection varieties of tobacco on podzolized chernozem in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine at the Tobacco Research Station of the National Scientific Centre «Institute of Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine» by a set of basic morphological and economically valuable features with the aim of the parent pairs selecting for hybridization have been presented in the article. The sources of valuable features that will be involved in the selection-and-seed process for the creation of new competitive varieties and hybrids of tobacco in the soil-and-climatic conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine have been identified. Factor and cluster analysis of tobacco varieties which allowed obtaining a comprehensive evaluation by their complex of studied features was carried out. The application of the factor analysis in the process of synchronous study of the features influence on the seed productivity of all studied varieties showed that they can be divided into three clusters, which sufficiently explain 73.32% of their total variation. The application of the factor analysis gave the possibility to determine the main features, on which the formation of the seed productivity depends - inflorescence density, capsules amount in the inflorescence, seeds weight from the inflorescence and seed yield. Three clusters containing information on the level of features formation by to the complex of the seed productivity elements of the plants were specified according to the results of the cluster analysis of the factor values of the collection tobacco varieties. The third cluster including eight tobacco varieties: Ternopilskyi 7, Ternopilskyi 14, Krupnolystyi 52, Hostrolyst Zhovtyi 3, Hostrolyst Yuvileinyi novyi, Bravyi 200, Virginia 27, Temp 321 had a selection value.

Social networks as an Internet phenomenon have emerged relatively recently, but almost from the moment of their creation, social networks have become the object of close attention of sociologists, marketers and psychologists. Users unite in groups or communities, certain social relations arise between them, while users create unique public content, exchange information. It is this unique layer of information that arouses interest among researchers. Currently, issues of studying social networks have entered the field of interdisciplinary research. A number of dissertations have been defended on the issue of social networks, several interdisciplinary studies have been conducted in the field of psychology, sociology and information technology, monographs and scientific articles have been written, the issue of social networks has been the topic of scientific conferences, such as the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Step into the Future”, the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Actual Problems of Social Communication”, etc. Representatives of business, government, culture and education show the greatest interest in the social processes and mechanisms that occur due to the use of social networks, since social networks have become an integral part of the life of a modern person: through social networks we communicate, work, receive information about any events, make purchases, search for certain information. That is why the problem of studying various aspects of social networks is relevant and practically significant. According to the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) for 2023, the maximum level of involvement in social networks is observed among young people — in the 18–24 year old group, among them 94% use social networks almost daily. Modern man lives in the time of technical progress and rapidly changing and developing environmental conditions. Lifestyle, communication and activity are transformed and acquire new forms, not only the form of communication changes, but also economic processes. We can also say about the increase in the speed of personal and social processes, which is due to virtualization. The advent of the Internet and social networks has led to the expansion of the communicative field of the individual, changed the nature of communication, provoked accompanying effects: along with the change in communication capabilities, the personality of the Internet user changes, he has more opportunities for communication in this environment, self-presentation and self-realization. That is why we were interested in the question: how are personal characteristics of a person reflected in a person’s behavior in social networks, or rather how they manifest themselves in his personal profile, and how this knowledge can be used in economics, sociology, jurisprudence.
