Empirical Analysis of Georgian Trade Pattern: Gravity Model
Full text linkThis paper investigates and analyzes the Georgia’s data of trade, export and import. The data cover the periods from 2000 to 2011 using the panel data gravity model of trade. For this purpose the large country sample and long time series and a balanced data have been used. The findings through results of analysis revealed that Georgia’s trade is positively determined by the size of the economies, GDP per capita, and common history found to be significant factors influencing Georgia’s trade pattern. The results also confirm the hypothesis that foreign direct investment (FDI) is positively correlated with trade
Relationship between Entrepreneurship and Unemployment: The Case of Georgia
Full text linkThe research paper employs the regression analysis of two variables entrepreneurship and unemployment rate from year 2003 to 2013. Entrepreneurship development as a phenomena generating jobs plays a vital role in particular to alleviate high unemployment level in countries like Georgia. It concludes that for Georgia a country in transition entrepreneurship development plays a vital role for solving the unemployment problem. The analyses of two effects “Schumpeter” and “Refugee” have been tested. The effect of entrepreneurship has been found to be statistically significant

The Economic Factors Affecting Emigration Process in Georgia
Full text linkThe problem of emigration become one of the vital problem not only in Georgia but in all developing countries. The aim of this paper is to analyses the economic factors that are affecting to this process in Georgia. The paper is based on the regression analysis between economic variables and the level of emigration between years of 2000 to 2014.Regression analysis modelshows 80, 7 percent significance level of economic indicators.For the economic reason the emigration disposition is still high in the population of Georgia. Despite the fact that the intensity of stationary emigration in recent years fall, the level of illegal emigration is still high. The possible further emigration process would worsen the demographic situation in Georgia
Detection of virulence factor genes, antibiotic resistance genes and biofilm formation in clinical Gram-negative bacteria and first report from Türkiye of K.oxytoca carrying both blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-51 genes
No full textThe Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from various samples and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed. The strains were screened by PCR for class 1 integron, virulence and antibiotic resistance genes. blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-51 genes positive samples were cloned into the pGEM-T vector and the plasmids were sent for DNA sequence analysis. The isolates were showed resistance to quinolone, cephalosporin, aminoglycoside, carbapenem and penicillin group antibiotics. Virulence factor genes were identified in 121 strain. The most common virulence gene was determined to be aer (29.78%), followed by sfa (28.19%), afa (27.12%), cnf (21.27%), pap (12.76%) and hly (12.76%). In addition, 34 different virulence patterns were observed. Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes were detected 15 of67 quinolone-resistant isolates. Among carbapenem resistant strains, blaOXA-23 gene was detected in 16 and blaOXA-51 gene in 19 isolates. The strains producing OXA-23 and OXA-51 were Klebsiella oxytoca, Acinetobacter baumannii, E.coli and P.mirabilis. In this study, clinical isolate K. oxytoca carrying both blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-51 genes were identified first time from Türkiye. A high predominance (88.82%) of class 1 integron was detected. In addition, determined that 46.27% of the isolates had the ability to form biofilms. In conclusion since the limited treatment options of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogens that cause serious infections are an important problem in terms of public health it is important to investigate antibiotic resistance, virulence factor genes and biofilm formation in these pathogens. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Plant Science and Biodiversity Centre, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), Institute of Zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), Institute of Molecular Biology, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS)
Determinants of Bilateral Trade Balance Between Georgia and China
Full text linkThis paper aims to empirically examine the drivers of the bilateral balance of the trade model for the Georgian-Chinese economy from 2000 to 2020 and the influence of the Georgia-China free trade agreement on the Georgian-Chinese balance of trade. The Error Correction Model (ECM) of the ARDL was used to see if the balance of trade and its predictors have a long-term relationship. One of the ARDL’s defining properties is that it may be utilized in circumstances when there is minimal data, regardless of the level of variable integration. According to the findings, a perceived effective exchange rate has a statistically significant positive impact on the balance of trade in the long run and a statistically significant negative impact on the balance of trade in the short run. The output is shaped to favor the presence of the elasticity attitude’s J-Curve impact. The study also found that the comparative supply of money (MS) and GDP have only a minor impact on the trade balance in the medium and long run. The sponging and monetary methods are ineffective in characterizing the bilateral trade deficit between Georgia and China
Investigation of Antibiofilm and Antibacterial Properties of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Aqueous Extract of Rumex sp.
No full textThe decrease in the effectiveness of conventional drugs as a result of the growth of resistance to antibiotics has increased the need for innovative tools to control the infections. At this point, metallic nanoparticles, in particular silver nanoparticles, have appeared as a promising method. In the current study, the extract of Rumex sp. (Labada, dock) leaves was used as a reducing agent for the formation of silver nanoparticles. Unlike similar studies, in this study the synthesis conditions were optimized by changing the extract ratio and silver nitrate concentration. Morphological investigations of synthesized silver nanoparticles showed that spherical homogeneous particles at size under 100 nm had been produced. SEM/EDS and FTIR analyses showed that plant components are involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles. It was also determined that higher extract ratio reduced nanoparticle size. The antimicrobial effects of the synthesized nanoparticles against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were tested, and it was determined that all nanoparticles exhibited activity against both groups. Rumex sp. silver nanoparticles (NPs) were revealed to exhibit antibiofilm activity against three different isolates with moderate and strong biofilm-forming ability. The NPs reduced the biofilm-forming capacity of Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonaie by 2.66-fold and 3.25-fold, whereas they decreased the Escherichia coli biofilm-forming capacity by 1.25-fold. The investigation of microbial biofilm could play an important role in developing new strategies for treatment options. Our results suggest that Rumex sp. silver NPs may have a high potential for use in the treatment of pathogenic strains. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.PMID: 3732941

The effect of information technological investments on labor productivity with the view of new economical connections
No full textAzer, Özlem Arzu (Arel Author)Towards the end of the 20th century, it is often encountered with "New Economy" concept. This concept has come into being with the main development of information technology. With this development, fast globalization process has made time and place differences useless. At the same time it has caused national economies to turn into industrial ones. Because the arrangement in "New Economy" has been changing both in structure and in content, similar situations mentioned above forced governments to invest on information technology on the basis of "New Economy". In this study, analyzing investment data on information technology in the USA, which some researchers think is a leading country, it will be tried to lay out their effects on labor productivity. With the results derived from the study, the future of the world countries is going to be evaluated. © EuroJournals, Inc. 2011
