However, in the countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, approaches to accounting for MI often do not comply with international standards, which makes it difficult to accurately reflect its value in financial statements. The paper analyzes the problems of accounting for MI, models (initial cost and fair value), valuation methods and ways to increase the transparency of reporting solutions, including the introduction of unified accounts and the adaptation of international standards, which improves accounting and increases the investment attractiveness of companies.</p> Rakhmonova Yulduz Sharofitdinovna Copyright (c) 2025 https://grnjournal.us/index.php/AJRCS/article/view/6530 Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0500 The Effect of Learning through Collaborative Artistic Projects Using Digital Platforms on Improving Teamwork Skills among Students in the Department of Fine Arts https://grnjournal.us/index.php/AJRCS/article/view/6582 <p>The importance of using digital technologies in education has been steadily increasing, and learning through collaborative artistic projects is considered an effective method that contributes to developing artistic and academic skills. This research employs digital platforms within a creative educational environment to enhance teamwork skills among students. The study focuses on understanding how this method impacts the development of collaboration among students and improves their problem-solving and teamwork skills. The research explores the effect of learning through collaborative artistic projects using digital platforms on developing teamwork skills among students in the Fine Arts Department at the College of Basic Education, Al-Mustansiriya University. The sample consisted of 60 students selected randomly. The study follows an experimental approach, where a practical experiment was conducted on students in the Fine Arts Department using digital platforms to complete collaborative artistic projects. The students were divided into small groups and used digital tools to develop and implement their joint art projects. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and performance assessments before and after the project implementation to measure the improvement in teamwork skills. The study's findings include:</p> <ol> <li>Results showed that digital platforms enhanced students' communication and interaction while working on artistic projects.</li> <li>It was found that collaborative projects via digital platforms helped students improve their skills in cooperation, joint planning, and collective decision-making.</li> </ol> Noor Sabah Sahi Copyright (c) 2025 https://grnjournal.us/index.php/AJRCS/article/view/6582 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0500 Impact of Small Industrial Zones on the Economy of Regions https://grnjournal.us/index.php/AJRCS/article/view/6589 <p>This article examines the importance of small industrial zones in the development of regional economies.

Many creative thinking tools are highly structured and the same methodical patterns occur again and again. This paper is a start to collect and connect the basic patterns of creative thinking. It will not present any new method but will try to generalize the commonalities of similar methods and approaches. There are many descriptions of creativity methods and tools out there. What motivates the description as patterns is the generalization of similar methods, the reasoning for the actual form in terms of forces, and the contextualization and connection of the methods/tools. Very often a specific method implies other methods to follow up or it can be combined with other methods. A pattern language captures such relations.</p> Fayziyeva Ra’no Raximovna Copyright (c) 2025 https://grnjournal.us/index.php/AJRCS/article/view/6623 Mon, 20 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0500
