SUMMARY:ISU REPORT ON ITS SCIENTIFIC-RESEARCH ACTIVITY –INSTITUTE OF LINGUISTIC RESEARCH
DESCRIPTION:The report will focus on the Modern Standards of Documenting Language and Research and Linguistic Resources of the Georgian Language Corpus (Georgian Language Corpus- http://corpora.iliauni.edu.ge/) that was created in Linguistics Research Institute. The presenters will shed light on the issues with which they are faced in the process of computer processing of the Georgia language. \nThe report on the topic the Research of Cultural Semantics of the Caucasus and Gergia will be given by Professors Nino Doborjginidze and Tamar Kalkhitashvili. \nAnnotation \nThe report will focus on two research projects of Linguistic Research Institute that are created according to digital humanitarian standards. \nThe Epigraphic Corpus of Georgia (http://epigraphy.iliauni.edu.ge/) the electronic publication of ancient Aramaic\, Greek\, Jewish and Georgian epigraphic heritage is made according to EpiDoc\, the digital heir to Leiden Convention. Georgian Epigraphic includes almost all strata of cultural groups of the ancient world which is why it is deemed to be the most international field of Kartvelology. \nThe prosopographic database of the first Georgian Republic and social cluster analysis (http://prosopography.iliauni.edu.ge/)\, the database created according to the standards of digital prosopography constitutes the most important tool for the research of social history. The report highlights the problems of Georgian language research materials\, sources and documents which makes it impossible to embark on systematic revision of our history written within the framework of empirical projects. \nDate and Time: December 14\, 18:00 \nVenue: room E 207\, Cholokashvili Ave.\, #3/5\, ISU \nAll are welcome to attend the event. \n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:ISU REPORT ON ITS SCIENTIFIC-RESEARCH ACTIVITY –INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL BIOLOGY
DESCRIPTION:On December 14\, at 17:00\, at room E207 of Ilia State University (ISU)\, within the framework of the report on scientific-research activity of ISU\, the presentation on scientific-research projects will be held by the Institute of Chemical Biology of the University. \nThe presentation of 2 scientific-research projects will be conducted. \nThe report on the topic Molecular Mechanisms of Recognition Memory of Imprinting in Chickens will be given by Prof. Revaz Solomonia. \nAnnotation \nThe prime difficulty in perceiving molecular bases of memorization and memory is an identification of those areas of the brain that participate in the processes of preservation. This difficulty has mainly been surmounted for visionary imprinting that constitutes the process of memorization during which newly-born domestic chickens learn and later decipher the characteristics of an object in question. Before imprinting\, no visionary memorization has any effect on the brain. There exists firm overlapping data that enclosed area of frontal lobe\, intermediate and medial mesopalium (IMM) keeps the information from imprinting and other memorization process (1). Through this model\, it becomes possible to correlate quantitative-behavioral figures to quantitative figures of biochemical changes of the area. On the basis of the priority of these qualities it became possible to determine specific series of molecular changes incorporating different cellular processes. The report will focus on specific changes for memorization and memory in microRNAs\, epigenetic changes of chondriosome DNM\, etc. \nA microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule (containing about 22 nucleotides) found in plants\, animals and some viruses that functions in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. We compared changes in a microRNA spectrum\, after 24 hours from the act of memorizing\, in the IMM of the left hemisphere of chickens with a good and bad memorizing ability.  These comparison revealed 12 microRNAs the expression of which is considerably different between the groups. For further validation\, from microRNAs\, was chosen mir-130b\, which is characterized by average frequency expression. We demonstrated specific declension for mir-130b memory in the left IMM. \nThe report on the topic Engagement of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 in Macrophage Plasticity will be given by Lali Shanshiashvili. \nAnnotation \nMacrophages play a significant role in protecting hosts and preserving homeostasis. Functional macrophages are heterogenic cells and\, according to their dependence on microenvironment\, are polarized in two groups:  classically activated M1 and alternatively activated M2 phenotypes. Glutamate acid and glutamate receptors may be involved in the plasticity of macrophages. We carried out transfection RAW-264.7 of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 in macrophagic cells. Comparative analysis of transfected and non-transfected cells demonstrated that transfected macrophages adsorb more glutamate that controlling cells. Intercellular concentration of glutamate correlated with the expression of transporter 2 of cationic amino acids. In addition\, in transfected macrophages the expression of receptor-g increased. \nWe assume that the increase of concentration of intercellular glutamate and glutamate metabotropic receptor 5 can cause metabolic rearrangement of macrophages and formation of immunosuppressive M2 phenotype. \nDate and Time: December 14\, 17:00 \nVenue: E 207 room\, Cholokashvili Ave.\, ISU \nAll are welcomed to attend the event \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:ISU REPORT ON ITS SCIENTIFIC-RESEARCH ACTIVITY –INSTITUTE OF BIOPHYSICS
DESCRIPTION:On December 13\, at 17:00\, at Ilia State University (ISU) E 207 room\, (Cholokashvili Ave.\, #3/5)\, within the framework of the report on scientific-research activity of ISU\, the presentation on scientific-research projects will be held by the Biophysics Institute of the University. \nThe presentation of two scientific-research projects will be held. \nThe report on the topic Quadruplex Priming Amplification (QPA) for Molecular Diagnostics will be given by Levan Lomidze. \nAnnotation \nQuadruplex priming amplification (QPA) constitutes a method which allows isothermal amplification of DNA and possesses intrinsic real-time detection mechanism. The key mechanism of QPA is DNA pattern GGGTGGGTGGGTGGG (G3T)\, which forms strong thermal stability structure Quadruplex. G3T\, which in its 3’-praim end lacks guanine\, is used as a primer in the reaction. Missing guanine residues is critical for quadruplex formation\, and since it is missing quadruplex cannot be formed. However\, when polymers add guanine to primer\, GST folds into a quadruplex in the wake of what primer\, in an isothermal way\, is separated from the target DNM\, and the primer end is free to attach the next primer. Also primers incorporate fluorescent nucleotide\, e.g. 3-methylisoxanthopterin\, which is characterized by amplifying fluorescent signals after the formation of quadruplex\, and this proves to be an effective means for determining signals without fluorescent signaling molecules. We created QPA reaction\, which allows an effective\, fast and isothermal amplification of DNM; the aforementioned method can widely be applied to discover biomedical\, molecular biology\, genetics and forensic science diseases and pathogenic microorganisms\, as well as in scientific research. \nThe report on the topic Laser-induced Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer to Study Defects in DNM Dual Spiral will be delivered by Irina Khutsishvili. \nAnnotation \nFluorescent resonance method for transferring nanoscale energy allows to determine concentration of DNM dual spiral areas that is useful for intercalation. This method enables us to hold DNM comparative analysis in different damaged DNM structures. Through Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Method (FRET) has been studied DNM complexes with recovered silver and copper ions and silver particles; the effect of temperature on DNM dual spiral has also been explored. \nDate and Time: 13 December\, 17:00 \nVenue: E 207 room (Cholokashvili Ave.\, #3/5)\, ISU \nAll are welcomed to attend the event. \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:AMERICA: 25 Years after Independence
DESCRIPTION:With democracy still young and untested\, agression from a foreign power forced America to unite as a nation and a people. \n A lecture by American historian Ian Toll \nWith an introduction by Ambassador Ian C. Kelly \nDATE: Wednesday\, November 9\, 2016 \nTIME: 19:00 \nLOCATION: Ilia State University\, 32 Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue\, auditorium B 202 \nMr. Toll’s lecture will focus on the state of the American nation shortly after independence\, and the internal and external pressures that forced America’s leaders to fight to protect their soverignty. In 1801\, our freedom would be tested by the might of the British Empire\, our former rulers. But economic uncertainty\, feuding political parties and pistol duels threatned to tear the country apart. Unless the people could unite and find a common cause\, American democracy would have no future.    \nIan Toll is an American author and political/military historian known for his examination of U.S. federal government decision making during international maritime conflicts. He is best known for his examinations of the escalation and conflicts between the United States and Great Britain in the War of 1812 and the WW II Pacific Theater against the Japanese. His books have won broad critical acclaim and were selected for the Samuel Eliot Morison Award\, the William E. Colby Award\, and New York Times “Editor’s Choice” list. \nBorn in Japan while his father was on a Fulbright scholarship abroad\, Toll received a Bachelor’s degree in American History at Georgetown University and a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Prior to writing historical non-fiction\, Toll was a Wall Street analyst\, a Federal Reserve financial analyst\, and a political aide and speechwriter.  \nThe lecture is free and open to the public \nEvent Link: facebook.com/events/683645825128738/ \n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

In the lecture macroeconomic and microeconomic implications\, both theoretical and practical aspects of the distributed profit taxation system for Estonia are discussed. The main focus of the presentation lies on the results of previous scientific and applied studies. \n\nTime: 4 November\, 14:00 \nVenue: room G106\, G.
