Program Committee II International scientific and practical conference “Information technologies and intelligent decision making systems” (ITIDMS-II-2021)

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.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia for supporting the project, as well as to the host organization and colleagues, without whose help it would have been difficult to successfully carry out the research.

In a constantly changing world, any production activity, including transport, requires scientific support, which, in turn, involves the active participation of scientists, as well as the possibility of exchanging views between theorists and practitioners. One of the most effective formats for this is a scientific conference, which allows discussing long-term trends in the development of the industry and ways of early adaptation to them. In the railway sector, scientific conferences have become a regular and effective tool for discussing promising trends in the industry.President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin declared 2021 the Year of Science and Technology. In this regard, it is symbolic that on August 26–27, 2021, the 1st International Scientific and Practical Conference “Science 1520 VNIIZHT: Look Beyond the Horizons” was held on the territory of Test Loop of the JSC “VNIIZHT”. The JSC Railway Research Institute, a leader in the development, creation, testing and implementation of railway equipment and technologies in the 1520 mm track space organized the conference. At the conference, reports were presented both by practitioners and acting managers, and by theoretical scientists. The conference was organized in the form of parallel working sections, the main results of which were discussed at a panel discussion. According to the presentation of the heads of the thematic sections, the best speakers were awarded with diplomas, including many young scientists. According to the assessments of managers and employees of railway enterprises and suppliers, the conference was a useful and longawaited international event in railway science and practice.

  This article examines the use of anglicisms as a tool for attracting audiences in Kazakhstani media discourse. Based on an analysis of 2024 media texts sourced from Kazakhstani news portals on social networks, the main motives for using anglicisms are identified. The findings demonstrate how anglicisms contribute to the popularization of materials and enhance their competitiveness in the context of globalization and the digital transformation of media. A sociological survey was also conducted among 460 respondents from Kazakhstan to explore their attitudes toward the use of anglicisms in media. The survey results revealed that most respondents view anglicisms as a sign of modernity and globalization, although some expressed concerns about their impact on linguistic culture and traditions. The study highlights the main reasons for using anglicisms, including adding modernity and relevance to texts, linguistic economy, resolving semantic ambiguity, the absence of equivalent terms in the recipient language, creating emotional expressiveness, and fulfilling social functions.The research results can be useful for journalists, editors, and media communication professionals in developing content that balances global trends with the cultural characteristics of the Kazakhstani audience.

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.

International Scientific and Practical Conference on Agrarian Economy in the Era of Globalization and Integration (AGEGI 2018)October 24-25, 2018, Moscow, RussiaThe International Scientific and Practical Conference on Agrarian Economy in the Era of Globalization and Integration was held on October 24-25, 2018 in Moscow, Russia. The conference was organized by the Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas – All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of the Organization of Production, Labor and Management in Agriculture (VNIOPTUSKH), and the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Conference aimed to bring leading scholars, educators, and practitioners in the fields of agricultural economics, environmental studies, agricultural engineering, and sustainable development to share their research results, insights, and experiences and to discuss actual trends, challenges, and solutions. The focus of the Conference, its interdisciplinary approach, and international outreach allowed to create a truly engaging and intellectually challenging atmosphere.The conference was held in the Headquarters of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia and brought over 300 speakers and participants representing various universities, research institutions, as well as the leading agricultural and industrial enterprises from Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and a number of Central Asian nations. We were also very honored to have representatives of the emerging African countries. In particular, the conference was marked with participation of Mohamed Ali Kamil, the Emergency and Authorized Ambassador of the Republic of Dzhibuti in Russia, and Dr. Anisset G. Kochofa, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Benin to the Russian Federation and Former High Commissioner of the Eurasian Economic Cooperation Organization for International Cooperation. 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.
