SUMMARY:"Omics Data Integration – Tbilisi 2018"
DESCRIPTION:Omics Data Integration – Tbilisi 2018 is a two-day intensive course on the analysis of multi-omics data. An international panel of instructors will provide practical examples about how to analyze\, visualize and integrate high-throughput biological data using the\nR Statistical Software. Transcriptomics (RNA-seq)\, methylation (Methy-seq) and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) data will be the focus of the course. \nThe course offers several hands-on sessions\, where attendees will be guided in solving real data-analysis challenges. At the end of the program the participants will be able to perform basic analyses on single omics data\, and will know the main strategies for performing integrative analyses on the considered omics types.\nOmics technologies allow us to investigate cellular mechanisms that are at the basis of all biological processes. Omics data have profoundly changed biology and biomedicine\, fostering novel areas of research such as precision medicine. \nInstructors \n• David Gómez Cabrero\, Head of the Translation Bioinformatics Unit\, Navarrabiomed\, Pamplona\, Spain.\n• Núria Planell Picola\, Bioinformatician\, Translation Bioinformatics Unit\, Navarrabiomed\, Pamplona\, Spain.\n• Vincenzo Lagani\, Associate Professor in Bioinformatics\, Ilia State University\, Tbilisi\, Georgia. \nRequirements\nThe following prerequisites are recommended. \n• Knowledge of basic cellular processes: RNA transcription and epigenetics mechanisms. Preliminary material will be made available before the course for attendees without background in biology.\n• Basic experience in programming\, preferably in the R language. Participants without programming skills will be able to understand the concepts and ideas presented in the course. To benefit from the hands-on sessions\, participants without experience in programming should consider learning the basics of the R language: a four-hour course about R is offered for free in DataCamp.\n• Participants should bring their own laptops. \nOmics Data Integration – Tbilisi 2018 as a Mirror Event \nThe Omics Data Integration – Tbilisi 2018 course is a mirror event of the STATegra Summer School on NGS and Data Integration held in Navarrabiomed between 24 and 28 September\, 2018. \nThe idea behind Espurna2K mirror events is to replicate high-level educational initiatives in locations that are outside the circuits where such initiatives are usually held. The scope of mirror events is to maximize the dissemination of knowledge\, sparkling virtuous processes that should produce self-sustainable communities of interest on highly specialized topics. \nVenue: Ilia State University\, Room E207\, 3/5 Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave.\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nDates: 26 and 27 November\, 2018 \nFee: the course is free of charge. \nRegistration: candidates shall apply online through this form not later than the 18th of November\, 2018. Participants will be selected based on eligibility: priority will be given to the candidates whose profile better matches the course requirements. \nContact: contact@espurna2k.org \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Presentation "Food Safety and Essentials of Risk Assessment"
DESCRIPTION:On November 8 2018\, at 11:00\, Stylianos Koulouris\, Scientific Cooperation Officer at European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)\, will deliver a presentation on Introduction to Food Safety and Risk Assessment at ISU G 106. \nStylianos Koulouris supervises European Food Risk Assessment Fellowship Programme (EU-FORA) and is responsible for cooperation with EU neighborhood countries. \nEFSA is a European agency funded by the European Union that operates independently of the European legislative and executive institutions (Commission\, Council\, Parliament) and EU Member States. EFSA was set up in 2002 following a series of food crises in the late 1990s to be a source of scientific advice and communication on risks associated with the food chain. The agency was legally established by the EU under the General Food Law – Regulation 178/2002. \nThe General Food Law created a European food safety system where responsibilities for risk assessment (science) and for risk management (policy) are kept separate. EFSA is responsible for the former area\, and also has a duty to communicate its scientific findings to the public. Thanks to this system\, European consumers are among the best protected and best informed in the world as regards risks in the food chain. \nLanguage: English \nTime:  8 November 2018\, 11:00 \nVenue:  Room G106\, Ilia State University (1 G.

SUMMARY:Public lecture by Dr. Rebekah Kim: Probing the Mysterious Relationship Between Chinese Characters and the Hebrew Bible
DESCRIPTION:On 7 November 2018\, Dr. Rebekah Kim of Harvard University will deliver a public lecture called Probing the Mysterious Relationship Between Chinese Characters and the Hebrew Bible at ISU B 201\, at 17:00. \nThe exact origin of Chinese characters has long been a mystery and subject of much academic conjecture. However\, it is commonly understood that these characters have a meaning and story which have survived the rigors of etymological developments through the ages. \nIs there a common thread that ties together the Book of Genesis from the Hebrew Bible and Chinese characters? Did the obscure religion of a seemingly insignificant nation which lay between the great Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations have any impact on the language and culture of another ancient civilization in the East\, separated by a distance of four thousand miles? \nDr. Rebekah will discuss the meaning behind different Chinese characters and explore the potential influence of the Hebraic religion and beliefs on these characters as adopted by the Chinese\, Korean\, and Japanese languages. \nLecture Purpose: \nThe purpose of this lecture is for students who are interested in linguistics and cross-cultural studies\, as well as anyone interested in East Asian cultures and languages\, to discover the potential linguistic link between the most influential literature of the Ancient Near East and the Far East Asian language with over 50\,000 characters. \nTime: 7 November 2018\, 17:00 \nVenue: B 201 Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nWorking language: English \nScope of Audience: Open to all ISU students\, as well as students from surrounding universities in Tbilisi. We will also have visitors from America and Korea. \n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Public Lecture by Paul Manning: "The City of Gardens: Three Garden Heterotopias of Old Tbilisi"
DESCRIPTION:On 26 October 2018\, at 18:00\, ISU (Room A101) Professor Paul Manning\, of the Trent University\, will be speaking about The City of Gardens: Three Garden Heterotopias of Old Tbilisi \nLong ago\, Tbilisi\, the old walled city that is also known as K’ala\, was ringed with suburbs\, Garetubani\, which were filled with gardens. The famed description of Tbilisi by Vakhushti in the 18th century does not describe any of these suburban gardens specifically\, only drawing attention to the extraordinary number of them. Tbilisi was in this sense a typical Persian city\, defined by a central opposition between city and suburban gardens\, contrasting models of spatial order that exist side by side. \nWhat kinds of gardens were there in and around Tbilisi? What kinds of heterotopias\, “other spaces” –spaces that announce themselves as mythic or real worlds apart from the ordinary– did they represent? What kinds of everyday practices\, of drinking and walking\, what urban genres of writing and song\, were associated with these different gardens? And how did they differ not only from the ordinary spaces – the streets and houses– of the city\, as well as from each other? Tbilisi is haunted by the after-images of these gardens. Today I want to talk about three such urban garden heterotopias: suburban walled royal gardens from the Safavid period of Sololaki\, which all were destroyed in 1795\, new Russian colonial gardens typified by Alexandrovski Garden\, and lastly\, Ortachala’s gardens\, the gardens of the poetry of Old Tbilisi. \nLanguage: English \nTime: 26 October\, 18:00 \nVenue: Room A101\, Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Public Lectures  Minimally Invasive Surgery
DESCRIPTION:On 23 October 2018\, at 18:00\, Dr. William V. Braun and Dr. Konrad Karcz will deliver public lectures at ISU G106. \nWilliam V. Braun\, Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons\, will speak about Complications of Bariatric Procedures. \nEach method used in bariatric surgery has pros and cons. Dr. Braun will discuss bariatric surgery procedures and postoperative complications\, as well as improvements in psychological and nutritional status following the procedures. The speaker will review the Australian healthcare system and surgical training opportunities. \nW. Konrad Karcz\, Professor\, Dr. med. PHM\, Head of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich will deliver a lecture on Boundaries of Laparoscopic Oncosurgery. \nThe main objective of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce surgical traumas. Performed in 1987\, the first laparoscopic cholecistechtomy was a breakthrough in abdominal surgery. Reduction of surgical traumas improves the outcomes of surgical treatment. Advancements in imaging and robotic technologies have contributed to the development of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery\, significantly expanding the boundaries of endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment of benevolent diseases. Moreover\, minimally invasive surgery has become crucial in diagnosing and treating malignant diseases. Nevertheless\, many questions related to the scope\, potential and limitations of laparoscopic oncosurgery still remain to be addressed.  Professor Karcz will try to answer some of such questions in connection with two vital organs\, pancreas and liver. \n\nLanguage: English \nTime: 23 October\, 18:00\, Ilia State University (1 G. Tsereteli Str.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Public Lecture from Professor Hans Ulrich "Sepp" Gumbrecht
DESCRIPTION:On 22 October 2018\, at 18:00\, ISU Ligamus Book House will host Professor Hans Ulrich “Sepp” Gumbrecht’s public lecture called “Does Silicon Valley Have and Need An Epistemology? ”\nIf Hegel was to re-appear in the 21st century to ask his obsessive question where does spirit dwell?\, his attention would be captured by avant-garde engineers developing artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley. Being unable to fit within the established frames of thought\, which most of us associate with philosophy\, Silicon Valley inhabitants are obviously disregardful of traditionally-minded intellectuals. \nHowever\, do they need epistemological frames? What stands beyond their amazing and frightful fecundity? \nAbout the speaker:\nHans Ulrich “Sepp” Gumbrecht \, Honorary Doctor of the Ilia State University\, is among the most influential literary and cultural theorists. Professor at Stanford University\, he specializes in literature and philosophical traditions of France\, Spain\, Germany and Portugal. Gumbrecht is the author of The Powers of Philology (2003)\, In 1926: Living on the Edge of Time (1998)\, In Praise of Athletic Beauty (2006)\, Vom Leben Und Sterben Der Grossen Romanisten: Karl Vossler\, Ernst Robert Curtius\, Leo Spitzer\, Erich Auerbach\, Werner Krauss\, Hanser (2002)\, Production of Presence: What Meaning Cannot Convey (2004) and many others that have been translated into different languages of the world. \n\nLanguage: English \nTime: 22 October 2018\, 18:00 \nVenue: Ligamus Book House\, Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Meeting with employees of Czech University of Life Science in Prague
DESCRIPTION:On July 11th \, 19:00\, in room E207\, Ilia State University will host employees of Czech University of Life Science in Prague. \nSpeaker : Martin Kulma\, Researcher from Czech University of Life Science in Prague. \nThe topic of the lecture: How can insects feed the world? \nDescription : The currently increasing world population\, with increasing per capita consumption and \ndietary habit changes\, poses higher demands on the nutritional resources production for both animals \nas well as for humans. In the limited and exploited resources\, livestock farming is becoming \nunsustainable. Production of sufficient high-quality protein with minimalisation of the environmental \nfootprint has thus become one of major challenges for humans. Insects are considered to be one of \npotential alternatives. The presentation will provide both basic and novel information about their \nnutritional value as well as about the experimental usage as feed for farm animals. \nSpeaker : Veronika Tůmová\, aquaponics specialist from Czech University of Life Science in Prague \nThe topic of the lecture: Sustainable food production using aquaponics – current state and future \nperspectives. \nDescription: Nowadays\, building aquaponic systems has become trandy because of its advantage \ncombining hydrophonic and aquaculture systems together. The presentation will provide you \ninformation about the benefits of aquaponic systems. Following questions will be addressed by the \nspecialist: Can be aquaponics successful way of producing food? What are the main issues? What are \nfuture perspectives of aquaponics? \nDate: 11.07.2018 \nTime: 19:00 \nLocation: E207 room\, (3/5\, Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave\, Tbilisi\, Georgia)\, Ilia State University. \nAll are welcome to attend the event. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]

SUMMARY:Public lecture by Dr. James W. Ingram
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture “Is There a Logic to Politics?” will be delivered by the professor of Political Science Dr. James W. Ingram. “This lecture brings together Max Weber’s great and famous “Science as a Vocation” and “Politics as a Vocation” lectures into one synthesis. The lecture will contend that politics are logical\, and that they can thus be subjected to the scientific method\, enabling us to ensure that politics works toward the goals that humanity needs to accomplish” – says Dr Ingram. \nBiography for James W. Ingram III \nIngram began his career at SDSU in spring 1993\, and has taught there continuously ever since. Ingram has taught over 200 different sections of Political Science and began his 16th new course at SDSU in spring 2018\, POLS 346 (Law and the Political System). Ingram has won many teaching awards over the years in recognition of his efforts on behalf of his students.\nIngram’s doctoral dissertation won the American Political Science Association’s Urban Politics Dissertation of the Year Award for 2008. His thesis focused on local constitutional reform. As part of his fieldwork he worked for charter commissions in Los Angeles and San Diego and participated in giving both cities strong-mayor charters patterned on the U.S. Constitution. He was a pro bono volunteer\, a paid staffer\, and a professional consultant on charter change for the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego\, as well as for the San Diego Citizen Commission. He has also consulted for the California cities of Fallbrook\, Pasadena and Sacramento on issues of charter reform.\nIngram has published monographs and articles on charter change\, and is the only scholar to both be asked to write and to have written a chapter for both volumes of The Development of Los Angeles City Government: an Institutional History\, 1850-2000. Ingram regularly comments on local\, state and national politics for NPR\, the local TV news stations in San Diego\, and journalists seeking material for their newspaper articles. He also regularly writes opinion pieces on politics and government for the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper. \nLanguage: English \nDate and time:  2018/06/20\, 6:00PM \nVenue: Iliauni Bookstore Ligamus (Chavchavadze N32)\, Ilia State University \nAll are welcome to attend the event. \n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]
