SELECTING THE OPTIMAL ROUTE FOR MUNICIPAL WASTE TRANSPORTATION USING THE EDAS METHOD
No full textWhen solving problems related to capital investments in a company, it is necessary to elaborate on the issue in detail and consider as many influential parameters as possible in order to make the optimal decision. One such problem is the selection of a transfer station and the location of a regional landfill. Once these locations are selected, the next problem that arises is choosing the optimal route for transporting municipal waste from the transfer station to the regional landfill. To successfully solve such complex problems, multi-criteria decision-making methods can be applied.
In this paper, the EDAS method will be applied to select the optimal route for municipal waste transportation
ETHNOCENTRIC ELEMENTS IN PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES
No full textEthnocentrism, as the perception of one’s own culture as superior to others, represents a significant sociocultural phenomenon with profound implications for the educational process. This paper focuses on identifying and analyzing ethnocentric elements in pedagogical sciences and their impact on educational practice. The aim is to highlight the presence of ethnocentric content in curricula, textbooks, and teaching approaches, which often unconsciously contribute to the creation of cultural hierarchies and limited intercultural sensitivity among students.The research was conducted through a qualitative analysis of relevant pedagogical literature and teaching materials, using descriptive and comparative methods. The results indicate that ethnocentric elements are most prominent in subjects within the fields of humanities and social sciences, where the national perspective tends to dominate over intercultural dialogue. Such educational models may lead to the development of narrow attitudes, stereotypes, and intolerance toward diversity
METHODS OF EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS OF PEOPLE\u27S SENTIMENTS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
No full textThis study explores methods for extracting and analyzing people\u27s sentiments from social media, utilizing advanced natural language processing and machine learning techniques. The goal is to recognize sentiments and based on them to categorize posts and comments as positive, negative, or neutral in order to understand users\u27 attitudes and emotions. The algorithms used for sentiment classification in this research include Naive Bayes, SVM, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest. Additionally, the study analyzes and compares the performance of these algorithms in terms of accuracy, recall, and F1 score, providing a comprehensive overview of their effectiveness. It also emphasizes the importance of hyper-parameter tunning to improve the accuracy of classification algorithms. The results of this study can be used to assist social media platforms, researchers, and policymakers in developing strategies to manage and improve user experiences, as well as to make informed decisions based on user reactions
ANNULMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS IMPOSED ON JUVENILES
No full textThe role of the juvenile court does not end with imposing an educational measure, which is the specificity of the court\u27s position in criminal proceedings against juveniles. Formally speaking, although the legal provisions on supervision over the implementation of educational measures fall within the scope of the implementation of criminal sanctions, they are regulated in the procedural part of the Juvenile Justice Act. When supervising the implementation of educational measures, the juvenile court may annul the effects of this criminal sanction during the enforcement procedure. For the suspension of the implementation of an educational measure or the modification of this decision, there is no need to declare claim for legal remedies. The supervisory role of the juvenile court allows for the annulment of the effects of educational measures regardless of the procedure for initiating a review of the factual and legal basis of decisions (made in proceedings against juveniles) in proceedings on legal remedies. However, this does not mean that decisions on criminal sanctions made in proceedings against juveniles cannot be challenged by legal remedies. On the contrary, the effect of criminal sanctions imposed in proceedings against juveniles (especially juvenile prison sentences) may be annulled in proceedings initiated by claiming legal remedies.
Keywords: supervision, suspension, modification, legal remedies, educational measure
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN AND NEW ZEALAND CORPORATE LAWWITH A FOCUS ON FUTURE CHALLENGES
No full textIt is an undeniable fact that Europe is losing ground in global competition. The European Union, originally founded to enhance economic competitiveness, now requires a fresh perspective— particularly in corporate law. One key area for reform is reducing administrative burdens on businesses. This study explores whether adopting elements of simpler, business-friendly legal systems, such as New Zealand’s, could enhance Europe’s corporate competitiveness. The research employs doctrinal legal analysis and case studies to compare corporate governance, liability frameworks, and taxation policies in the EU and New Zealand. The second part of the study examines practical applications through a case studie: the corporate legal challenges behind The Lord of the Rings film production. By assessing the adaptability of different corporate legal systems, this study provides insights into whether regulatory simplification can foster innovation while maintaining legal certainty. The findings contribute to the broader discussion on corporate law reform in Europe, offering valuable perspectives for policymakers, legal scholars, and business leaders navigating an increasingly complex global economy.

PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME EUROPEAN STANDARDS ON THERIGHT TO LIFE AND HEALTH OF THE CHILD IN GEORGIA
No full textGeorgia has been a candidate country for EU membership since 2023, and the Association Agreement between Georgia and the European Union has been in force since 2016. Accordingly, Georgia is implementing reforms of the existing legislation and policies in the field of children\u27s rights, with the aim of implementing European and international standards. For this purpose, the Code of Rights of the Child was enacted in Georgia, which protects the right to life and health of the child and obliges the state to create guarantees for the protection of rights. Legislative reform involves harmonizing Georgian legislation with EU legislation, reflecting the requirements of various EU directives in Georgian legislation. One of such important areas is food safety and food product control, creating a healthy environment, which affects the realization of the right to life and health of the child. Despite the changes made to the legislation, non-compliance with regulations remains a problem. This paper analyzes Georgian legislation, European Union and international standards, and Georgian judicial practice regarding violations of the child\u27s right to life and health and presents specific recommendations for improving the protection of rights.
Keywords: Child. European Union. Georgia, Healthcare. Food Safety

BENEFITS OF THE EUROPEAN MARKET IN THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
No full texthe European market represents the world’s largest economic area and stands as one of the European Union’s most significant accomplishments. It has established a zone of over 500 million people with no internal borders or regulatory barriers that could restrict the free movement of goods, services, people, and capital (European Commission, n.d.). The EU is the most deeply integrated trading bloc globally, as around two-thirds of trade conducted by its member countries takes place within the Union itself (European Commission, 2020). The EU’s gross domestic product accounts for about 22% of the global economy—second only to that of the United States—and its members benefit from a vast internal market that provides stability in times of global trade disruptions (World Bank, 2023). Within the single market, citizens enjoy the freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in the EU, while businesses can freely produce, sell, and invest across borders (European Commission). Numerous technical, legal, and administrative obstacles that once limited trade and movement among member states have been eliminated to encourage seamless interaction within the European market (European Commission, 2020). The purpose of this analysis is to examine the current condition of the EU’s free movement of goods and services and to identify the remaining untapped potential in areas such as trade, competition, and productivity-particularly those hindered by weaknesses in the enforcement of single market rules
