A short history of some of the most controversial commutative contracts in Islamic economics \nAnnotation \nBayʿsalam/salaf – as sale of an object with a future delivery and on-spot payment – is arguably one of the most curious ones among commutative contracts deemed ḥalāl in Islamic economics. Being a sale of an object not in the possession of the seller—more often than not due to its nonexistence at the time when the contract is being concluded—and with the resulting uncertainty over their ability to deliver the subject-matter\, the transaction should theoretically be forbidden under the rules governing gharar (exorbitant risk/uncertainty)sales. However\, most scholars consider salam contract permissible on account of a ḥadīth\, according to which it was allowed by the Prophet himself\, as well as the belief that in this particular case “the requirements of law yielded (rakhkhasa) in face of the people’s need for it”( al-Sarakhsi\, al-Mabsut\, vol. 9). Against this background\, during the talk I will trace the provenience of bayʿsalam and explore the collective thought process that led to its establishment as one of the core Islamic financial contracts. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/public-lecture-by-katarzyna-sidlo/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/56105.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20200210T143000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20200210T143000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162753 CREATED:20200113T093315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T092220Z UID:10000882-1581345000-1581345000@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Workshop “Grounded Theory” for Doctoral Students and Young Researchers DESCRIPTION:Ilia State University’s International Doctoral School offers a workshop on Grounded Theory (GT) for doctoral students and young researchers. This workshop interactively examines the basic ideas and concepts of GT methodology in theory and practice. In the first phase\, we will discuss GT’s philosophical origins as well as its main methodological perspectives. Then we address key issues such as what is a GT research question and how to phrase questions that are appropriate to the GT imperative of openness in order to discuss the main features of a GT study design. In a third phase\, we will analyze potential challenges and pitfalls of the research practice. GT concepts that might seem blurry\, e.g. “saturation of data” and “theoretical sampling”\, will be clarified.\nUpon completion of the workshop\, an attendance certificate will be issued for each participant. \nMandatory Reading: Corbin\, Juliet/Strauss\, Anselm (1990): Grounded Theory Research.

Anti-Semitism has taken many forms in different countries – religious and psychological intolerance\, segregation\, forced exile of Jews\, genocide\, abuse\, etc. The fact that Russian thinking was mainly concerned with the problems of the history of philosophy during the nineteenth century was greatly promoted by the active interest of Russian religious thinkers in the Jewish problem. Some Russian intellectuals sought to determine Russia’s future in the context of the religious philosophy of history. Those who intend to use a religious basis for the philosophy of history cannot bypass the question of God’s chosen people\, whose history has been central to religious events. Furthermore\, the Russian national-messianist ideology\, developed in the nineteenth century\, would eventually oppose the religious messianism of the biblical nation. This issue became a test of religious tolerance for Russian religious thinkers. Unfortunately\, many Russian thinkers failed the test with dignity. The purpose of Kheoshvili’s research is to highlight some of the manifestations of religious-worldview intolerance towards the Jews that have been raised by prominent Russian religious thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (including V. Soloviev\, N. Berdyaev\, S. Bulgakov\, P. Florenski and Al. Losev). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/ilia-state-university-science-week-2019-presentation-of-savle-tsereteli-institute-of-philosophy/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/55975.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20191213T190000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20191213T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162753 CREATED:20191211T073325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T092240Z UID:10000967-1576263600-1576263600@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:How Innovative Products are Created- Lecture by David Chechelashvili DESCRIPTION:On December 13th\, David Chechelashvili- a visiting lecturer at Ilia State University and a pre-acceleration programme mentor will deliver a lecture in the frames of the Zoomout Pre-Accelerator’s pre-acceleration programme. \nThe title of the lecture- How innovative products are created.  \nThe pre-acceleration programme is delivered in the frames of the British Council’s Creative Spark: Higher Education Enterprise Programme in collaboration with the UWE Bristol and the Aldridge Institute. \nThe programme is also partnered with the Georgia’s Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA) and the US Embassy grant project \,\,Paving the Way to Knowledge-based Economy: Enhancing University Research and Entrepreneurial Skills in Georgia”. \nThe program is built on the recommendations and syllabus of Europe’s most experienced B2B accelerator Startup Wise Guys. \nFacilitator Profile \nDavid Chechelashvili \nDavid has been an entrepreneur and held numerous strategy and business development positions in hi-tech startups since 1999.

To improve the quality of clinical workflow and increase the patient care level\, researchers have developed a wide range of algorithms that based on machine learning and computer vision concepts\, automatically or with small supervision handle images and deliver actionable insights. Sefide Almas\, lead engineer of Silicon Valley based AI Imaging Startup Ninesai\, will look into some of these techniques and their impact on healthcare. \nAbout the Speaker  \nSepideh Almasi started her research in medical image processing at Radiology department of Harvard Medical School in 2011.  After finishing her PhD at Tufts University in electrical and computer engineering\, she joined school of medicine at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow focusing on improving the resolution of microscopy images. Currently\, she is an AI lead engineer at Ninesai\, an early stage startup developing machine learning techniques for enhancing radiology pipeline and patient survival.\n\n \nLanguage: English \nTime: 26 November 2019\, 10:30 \nVenue: T102\,  Ilia State University (3/5 Cholokashvili Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/ai-in-medical-imaging/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/55306.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20191125T103000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20191125T103000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162753 CREATED:20191122T132738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T092254Z UID:10001015-1574677800-1574677800@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Startup Culture in Silicon Valley DESCRIPTION:On 25 November\, 10:30 Jouya Jadidian will host a public lecture: “Startup Culture in Silicon Valley”. \nEver wondered why silicon-valley has been and continues to be a hub for unicorn start-ups in all disciplines?
