SUMMARY:Seminar: “The Islamization of the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago - main theories and contemporary approaches”
DESCRIPTION:On October 11\, Professor of the Technological University of Malaysia\, visiting scholar at the G. Tsereteli Institute of Oriental studies\, Tatyana Denisova will deliver a lecture on the seminar of the Institute of Oriental Studies: “The Islamization of the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago: main theories and contemporary approaches”. \nAnnotation \nThe spread of Islam led to the fundamental changes not only in religious\, but also in the intellectual\, social and economic life of the population of the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. However\, despite the fact that Islamisation was a watershed event in the life of the Malay world\, its history is still poorly understood. The basic questions\, such as: 1. Who brought Islam?2. Islam come from where?3. When Islam begin to spread in the Malay world? are still the subject of debate. \nThere are 5 main theories of the Islamization of the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. Each of them answers these questions in their own way. And there is some modern discourse by Malay Muslim scholars who give their own assessment of these theories and express their arguments on the history of the Islamization of the region. The latest contemporary approach formulated by Professor S.M.N. al-Attas. \nTime: 11 October\, 16:00 – 17:30 \nLocation: Ilia State University\, building S. 3\, Acad G. Tsereteli Str. Acad. Thomas V.

SUMMARY:Nino Sharikadze's public lecture within the framework of the “Alumni Talks” project
DESCRIPTION:Nino Sharikadze\, a graduate of the doctoral program of Ilia State University\, will read a public lecture on the topic “Regulation of steroid hormones in the adrenal gland by the Sigma-1 receptor” within the framework of the “Alumni Talks” project of the International Doctoral School on October 3\, at 14:00. \nAbout the lecture \nStress is a well-known risk factor in the development of addiction and addiction relapse vulnerability. Stress leads to changes in corticotropin-releasing factor in the brain\, which in turn impact drug addiction. Moreover\, stress is argued to impact all three stages of the addiction cycle – excessive drinking/intoxication\, withdrawal/negative effect and preoccupation/anticipation -exposing the animal to an emotional allostatic load and state that forms the growing motivational pathology of addiction. \nSigma 1 receptor (Sig-1R) is a chaperone protein on mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum ER membranes (MAMs) which\, by interacting with inositol 1\,4\,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R)\, affects the transport of Ca 2+ between the ER and mitochondria. Sig-1R is overexpressed in the central nervous system and brain regions involved in emotion and neuropsychiatric disorders and agonists are a class of drugs for the treatment of depression and anxiety. Preclinical studies have shown that targeting Sig-1R alone is sufficient to produce an antidepressant-like effect. This effect has also been demonstrated in preclinical trials in humans\, in which Sig-1R agonists exhibited a strong antidepressant effect. Based on all of the above\, the aim of the research is to study the role of Sig-1R in stress and stress response molecular mechanisms\, as well as the release and synthesis of stress hormones (e.g.\, corticosterone) from the adrenal gland. \nAbout the speaker \nIn 2013\, Nino Sharikadze was awarded a master’s degree in Biopharmacy from Ilia State University. In 2018\, she successfully defended her PhD thesis at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering and became PhD in Molecular Biotechnology and Biochemistry. Her PhD thesis was about “Flavonoid Nobiletin’s Action on Mitochondrial Bioenergetics”. She published 2 articles in high-impact refereed journals during her PhD. \nIn 2015-2016 Nino Sharikadze participated in the MID Erasmus Mundus exchange program between the University of Bordeaux and Ilia State University\, where she did part of her PhD research in Cell Energy Metabolism Laboratory (Bordeaux\, France). \nFrom 2013 to 2019\, she worked as a researcher at Institute of Chemical Biology of Ilia State University. From 2019 she became a postdoctoral fellow at Integrative Neuroscience Branch\, Cellular Pathobiology Section\, NIDA\, National Institutes of Health. \nTime: October 3\, 14:00 \nLocation: Auditorium T 102\, Technology Building (Cholokashvili Ave. N3/5) \nWorking language: Georgian \nAttendance is free. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Webinar on Public Opinion Research in a Time of War
DESCRIPTION:On June 15\, Wednesday\, at 14:00\, Inna Volosevych\, Deputy Director of InfoSapiens\, and Michael Druckman\, IRI Program Director of Ukraine\, will speak at the Webinar on Public Opinion Research in a Time of War. \nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine constitutes a violation of international law and undermines the democratic principles of international politics. In a time of war\, the political and social processes fundamentally change. Understanding the attitudes and opinions of the population and discussing the challenges the public opinion researchers experience under siege is equally important. In March and April\, Ukrainian pollsters – InfoSapiens and Rating Group conducted several polls to understand the popular opinions on politically and socially relevant issues. For instance\, InfoSapiens surveyed to what extent are Ukrainians resilient against Russian aggression and disapprove the ban on Ukraine’s accession to NATO and EU. The Rating Group conducted the eight national polls to study popular attitudes on war-related topics\, including the psychological markers of the war\, adaptation of Ukrainians to the war conditions\, assessment of the situation in Ukraine\, international support of Ukraine and the guilt of the peoples of Russia and Belarus. Reputable international organizations such as IRI Ukraine conducted public opinion polls showing overwhelming support for the Ukrainian President\, the confidence of the Ukrainian people in winning the war\, as well as willingness and readiness to join the European Union. \nInna Volosevych\, Deputy Director of InfoSapiens and Michael Druckman\, IRI Program Director of Ukraine\, will discuss topics related to the organization and conduction of these polls in sociological and methodological terms. They will also bring insights into the interpretation of poll results to contextualize the surveyed attitudes. \nInna Volosevych will focus on “What Do Surveys Tell us about the Public Opinions in the Period of War: The Comparative Analysis of Ukraine and Russia” \nMichael Druckman will focus on “Understanding Ukrainian Citizens’ Sentiments on Domestic Politics\, International Support and Geopolitical Alignments” \nDate: June 15 Wednesday \nTime: 2 pm. Tbilisi Time \nModerator: Prof. Dr. Zarina Burkadze\, Secretary General of the Georgian Association for Public Opinion Research \n20 minutes discussion for each speaker that is followed by a 10 minutes Q & A session \nLanguage: English \nShort biographies of speakers: \n\nInna Volosevych\nMichael Druckman \n\n2022 \n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]
