Mirvahedi, Seyed Hadi. "Medical tourism and its niched impact in Tabriz, Iran." Linguistic Landscape. An international journal 4, no. 2 (August 27, 2018): 128–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/ll.17032.mir.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Tourism with all its concomitant economic and sociocultural influences across the globe accounts for today’s largest mobilization of people, money, and culture. This study explores how the arrival of medical tourists from the Republic of Azerbaijan in the city of Tabriz in Iran over the last few years has had a niched impact on the linguistic landscape of the city. Drawing upon theoretical developments within the sociolinguistics of globalization and mobility and linguistic landscapes, the research sheds light on how Azerbaijanis in Tabriz mobilize certain semiotic resources to both construct locality and channel mobility for their co-ethnic medical tourists, both establishing a sense of ‘at-homeness’ and attracting more travelers and economic gain. Given the legal prohibition of using foreign languages on public signage, the research also uncovers contesting language ideologies which may contribute to the development of a tension between Azerbaijani, as the largest minority language, and Farsi, the only official language, challenging the semiotic domination of Farsi over Azerbaijani.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the March Events of 1918: city-wide fighting for control of Baku that involved the Bolshevik party, the Red Guards, and various Armenian and Azerbaijani militias. Besides many of these combatants, thousands of innocent Azerbaijanis and others (Caucasus peoples and Persians) perished in the hostilities. Focusing on the Events as an exercise of power and violence, I argue that the establishment of the Baku Commune (like the later formation of the multi-national Soviet Union) was indivisible from these circumstances of national and sectarian war. Drawing from Azerbaijani sources long-suppressed by the Communist regime, I recount some of the key contexts, mechanics, and legacies of the Events. As an elucidation of the facts, this study sets out to help historians calibrate their interpretations, better weigh the nature of Soviet power, and refine what we usually term “Armenian” or “Azerbaijani” aggression. These peoples were not preternaturally disposed to violence. Suffering was not the exclusive province of either community. Rather, political strategies have drawn them into cycles of violence and bonds of recrimination that have recurred sporadically into the present day.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present study is to examine the existing position of Azerbaijani women regarding managerial jobs in the spheres of education and public sector, as well as individual experiences and perspectives of a group of Azerbaijani women related to this. Drawing upon secondary data analysis and interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), the research seeks to explore how Azerbaijani women are positioned statistically with regards to managerial jobs in the spheres of education and public sector, how a group of Azerbaijani women in the fields of education and public sector reflect on their individual case and relevant trends in the country; to what extent they relate their situation to external influences such as access to quality education, organizational stereotypes and discrimination, family restrictions and women’s internal inclinations sourcing from cultural predisposition. Based on the study results, this paper argues that women’s existing internal limitations due to cultural norms and expectations do not seem to allow research participants to see or set career as one of their primary striving and advancing points in life. Accordingly, it significantly leads to the underrepresentation of women in managerial jobs in education and the public sector.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Following Stilo’s (2018) study of small-inventory classifier systems in a number of Indo-European, Turkic, Kartvelian and Semitic languages of the Araxes-Iran Linguistic Area, the paper presents an account of numeral classifiers in Udi, a Nakh-Daghestanian (Lezgic) language spoken in northern Azerbaijan. Being a peripheral member of the linguistic area in question, Udi possesses an even more reduced version of a small-classifier system, comprising one optional classifier dänä (Iranian borrowing, most likely via Azerbaijani) used with both human and inanimate nouns. A dedicated classifier for humans is lacking, although there is a word tan (also of Iranian origin) only used after numerals or quantifiers, but predominantly as a noun phrase head. The behaviour of dänä and tan is scrutinized, according to a set of parameters, in both spoken and written textual corpora of the Nizh dialect of Udi. Drawing in the data from the related Nakh-Daghestanian languages, the paper shows that among the languages of the family Udi may be unique in possessing classifiers (albeit as a result of contact), Khinalug possibly being the only other exception.

Mammadova, Fidan. "Franghiz Alizadeh’s Composition ‘Wahe’ (‘Oasis’) for String Quartet and Tape Recorder." Bulletin of Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. Series in Musical Art 4, no. 2 (December 3, 2021): 188–200. http://dx.doi.org/10.31866/2616-7581.4.2.2021.245793.
Full textAbstract:
The article examines the chamber-instrumental work of Franghiz Alizadeh, a prominent representative of the modern Azerbaijani school of composition, People’s Artist, awarded the honorary title of ‘Artist of Peace’ by UNESCO. The article also highlights the characteristics of the musical and harmonic language, original timbre combinations, unusual dynamics, methods of using modern musical techniques of chamber-instrumental works of Franghiz Alizadeh, which is an area of her creative work that combines East-West music synthesis. The article analyzes Franghiz Alizadeh’s composition ‘Oasis for tape recorder and string quartet and gives specific features of the work. The article emphasizes that Franghiz Alizadeh’s presentation of Oriental thought in a synthesis of modern methods in the composition ‘Oasis’ is a unique feature of the work. The purpose of the research is to analyze the composition of Franghiz Alizadeh’s ‘Oasis’ and to determine the individual stylistic features of the composer. The interpretation of important innovations in Franghiz Alizadeh’s chamber-instrumental work and the discovery of its connection with modern music culture is especially emphasized. The basis of the research is the involvement of Franghiz Alizadeh, a prominent representative of the modern Azerbaijani school of composition, in the research work of the composition ‘Oasis’, which has not been subjected to scientific and theoretical analysis. The research methodology is based on music-analytical, theoretical, and historical analysis. It was noted that Franghiz Alizadeh’s chamber-instrumental work was formed in the context of the development of modern music, and modern technical methods were manifested uniquely. At the same time, the methodological basis of the article is based on the scientific-theoretical principles and research of Azerbaijani and foreign musicologists. The scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time, the general features of Franghiz Alizadeh’s chamber-instrumental creative work were studied within the framework of Azerbaijani music science, and the composer’s composition ‘Oasis’ was analyzed in detail. At the same time, based on the analysis, the article presents a detailed scientific study of the composition ‘Oasis’, which is of great importance in the work of the composer. Conclusions. The comprehensive analysis of Franghiz Alizadeh’s chamber-instrumental work and especially the composition ‘Oasis’ in the presented article allows drawing important conclusions about the features of the composer’s creative style. Franghiz Alizadeh is a modern Azerbaijani composer distinguished by her original creative style, and it was noted that the deep content of her works, distinguished by her unusual style of performance, is important in our national music art. It was noted that the East-West synthesis is dynamically manifested in the composer’s work, and this feature is directly felt like her works. From this point of view, F. Alizadeh’s camera-instrumental work is distinguished by the difference of modern writing techniques with rich images, and she has achieved great success not only in her native Azerbaijan but also far beyond its borders. It should be noted that Franghiz Alizadeh’s works, which combine East-West synthesis, have been performed in many countries and met with success. From this point of view, the composition of ‘Oasis’ differs by its rhythmic structure, artistic content, and texture form. It is especially emphasized that the unusual performance of the composition ‘Oasis’ was used to reveal a certain image. It is noted that the composition has a different musical language, along with deep content and non-traditional features. The combination of serial technique and mugam elements gives the composition ‘Oasis’ originality. It is noteworthy that the tape was used as an integral part of the camera-instrumental work. It was noted that the composition "Oasis", as a work of synthesis of theatre and music, has a theatrical effect. Franghis Alizadeh is currently living the period of wisdom in her work and enriches the professional music of Azerbaijan with her unusual works of modern type, which combine East- West synthesis.

Full textAbstract:
Language is an important factor that constitutes national identity. Language policies have become a state structure that aims to unite peoples under state rule, as well as organize and reorganize their lives. The establishment of a political central authority that dominates the society’s thoughts through language is the most essential element of social construction processes in the new world order. This study examines the current situation of Azerbaijani Turkish in Borchali (Georgia) and South Azerbaijan (Iran) from socio-political and sociolinguistic perspectives. In this context, language policies, language planning and language rights, and monolingualism with its assimilationist characteristics, are included in the theoretical framework for the first part of this research. The second part explains the language policy implemented in Georgia and discusses the mother tongue education problems faced by minorities. Data on language policy practices in Iran, the position of Azerbaijani Turkish against the titular language, and the problems related to South Azerbaijan Turks’ right to education in their mother tongue are interpreted in the third part. In the last section, attention is drawn to the role of language policy in Azerbaijan’s multi-culturalism model, as a solution method for the aforementioned problems.

Full textAbstract:
It is a study of literary interaction questions and the identification of mutual enrichment patterns that currently acquire particular significance. The concept of foreign literary experience becomes ever more profound and diverse and is realized by a creative rethinking (not imitation or adoption) of another literature’s achievements. This paper aims to identify the profound influence of world literature on Tolstoy and vice-versa: the influence his creative works had on European literature. The paper shows the need to study the originality of Tolstoy’s artistic legacy’s foreign reception and, therefore, complement the overall picture of perception and functioning of the writer’s creation in the foreign literary context and cultural environment. The study of this theme is very significant from the standpoint of modern globalization, dialogue between cultures. The novelty here lies in the fact that the question of how Tolstoy’s works have been received within the context of creative cross-cultural dialogue has not been given sufficient attention within international comparative studies. There is no systematizing and summarizing research in the national science about a writer’s perception and peculiarities of appraisal of writer’s works involving the Azerbaijani studies material, drawing parallels with the national literature. For this consideration of Tolstoy’s work, the conception of Azerbaijani prose writing is taken to represent a World literary context. The outstanding playwright Elchin Efendiyev had due regard for Tolstoy’s creative work and his particular creative perception of the world. This work’s theoretical purpose is to develop a scientific paper that will expand understanding of the reception of an outstanding writer’s creative work by a western creative consciousness and will present a picture of international cultural ties.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a brief history of relations between the Armenian and Azerbaijani population of Karabakh and provides a concise chronological sequence of the resettlement of Armenians. It focuses on the consequences of the conflict that lasted for 30 years. As a result of the conflict, cultural heritage sites were destroyed on the territory of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and millions of residents lost their homes when they were evicted from their ancestral lands. The investigated events brought a significant amount of troubles and sufferings to the Azerbaijani people, the number of its victims is estimated in the thousands. The Khojaly tragedy went down in history as the cruelest massacre of the civilian population. The military clash affected not only the population, but also the cultural heritage of the Azerbaijani people. Karabakh was the birthplace of many leading figures of Azerbaijani culture, such as Uzeyir Hajibeyli (Hajibeyov), Bulbul, Rashid Behbudov and others. Before joining the Russian Empire, these territories were part of the Karabakh Khanate and its main city was the impenetrable fortress of Shusha, the main population of which was Azerbaijanis. However, after joining Russia, Armenians from Iran, Turkey, and Syria began to move to these territories. After the creation of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, this region was preserved in its structure under the name of the Nagorno — Karabakh Autonomous Region, which later became a bone of contention between the two peoples. Emphasis in the article is given to museums and historical monuments destroyed as a result of the conflict. On the basis of facts, the authors trace the milestones of the destruction of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage — archaeological sites, museums, mausoleums, mosques, and churches. Ancient Albanian temples underwent armenization. Attention is drawn to the facts of violation of international conventions and normative legal acts on the preservation of cultural heritage.

In the article, a coin hoard consisting of 46 coins which was found from the village of Chilagir of Guba region and now preserved in the Numismatic Fund of the National Museum of the History of Azerbaijan of ANAS, was studied for the first time. This treasure, handed over to the museum in 2006, consists of copper coins bearing the names of Azerbaijan atabegs Muhammad Jahan Pehlivan (1175 – 1186), Abubekr (1191 – 1210), Uzbek (1210 - 1225) and vassals of Azerbaijani atabegs, emirs of Derbend – Muzaffar (1136 – 1160), Bekbars (1160 – 1180), Abdal-Malik (1180 – 1225) and meliks of Ahar in South Azerbaijan Bishtekin ibn Muhammad (1175 - 1210). The coins of this hoard, explaining the monetary economy, also confirm that the main faith of the period was the Islamic religion, and the inscriptions and drawings of the coins tell about military history and craftsmanship. In the article, the author emphasizes that copper coins of the atabegs of Azerbaijan and their vassals were in different types and weights and the increased demand for a coin during the period of "silver crisis" was met by Azerbaijani city-mints (Ganja, Barda, Beylagan, Shamkir, etc.). The treasure of Chilagir, which has come down to modern times, is one of the valuable findings of our national numismatics. It is the duty of every citizen to collect, to study and to preserve such facts.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the response of Azerbaijanis to life situations of change. Since the situations of change are characterized by dynamism, uncertainty and a great expenditure of resources, and the perception of such events is often associated with stress and threat, the phenomenon of responding to changes and structural uncertainty may be studied in the context of coping. The empirical research was conducted out within the framework of mixed methods approaches and included two stages. At the first stage, the quantitative data of the Azerbaijani sample (N = 278) were analyzed. The indicators of consistency and intercorrelations of scales, descriptive statistics, as well as the results of the exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire “Types of response to a changing situation” were considered. Changes in the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were identified. In order to explain the discovered facts at the second stage, qualitative data were analyzed: descriptions of response models to changes (N = 42; using the method of grounded theory in the version of K. Charmaz) and explanations of the drawings “Image of changes” (N = 88). It was found that the majority of Azerbaijani respondents report a rare preference for structural uncertainty and a frequent desire to maintain the stability of the situation. The difference between the models of response to changes described by Azerbaijani and Russian students-psychologists is shown. While the methods are called similar (planning, positive reappraisal, etc.), their combination in models, and categorization (whether the action refers to acceptance or rejection of changes) diverge. Based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, an ambivalent response is described: the use of both accepting and rejection the change strategies. The results are discussed in two contexts: 1) cultural values of Azerbaijan (collectivism, orientation on rules); 2) the need to comprehensively consider of coping strategies. The study expands the understanding of the mechanisms of cultural determination of coping with the situation of change, and offers a new data analysis scheme that allows to identify cultural differences.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book brings together dozens of the world’s leading scholars in memory studies to explore national memory in an age of populism. Drawing on disciplines ranging from cognitive science to history, these scholars address issues such as how memory is tied to individual and collective identity, how national pasts create political presents, and how a range of disciplines can contribute to an integrated account of national memory. Several chapters examine how these issues play out in the United States, but others take them up in countries such as Israel, China, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Germany, Japan, and Poland. The book provides a foundation for understanding the vexing issues of national memory and identity that promise to shape the future of countries throughout the world.

Full textAbstract:
This book is a study of the politics and practices of managing national minority identifications, rights, and communities in the Soviet Union and the personal and political consequences of such efforts. Titular nationalities that had republics named after them in the USSR were comparatively privileged within the boundaries of “their” republics, but they still often chafed both at Moscow's influence over republican affairs and at broader Russian hegemony across the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, members of nontitular communities frequently complained that nationalist republican leaders sought to build titular nations on the back of minority assimilation and erasure. Drawing on extensive research conducted in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Dagestan, Georgia, and Moscow, the book argues that Soviet nationality policies produced recursive, nested relationships between majority and minority nationalisms and national identifications in the USSR. The book pays particular attention to how these asymmetries of power played out in minority communities, following them from Azerbaijan to Georgia, Dagestan, and Iran in pursuit of the national ideas, identifications, and histories that were layered across internal and international borders. What mechanisms supported cultural development and minority identifications in communities subjected to assimilationist politics? How did separatist movements coalesce among nontitular minority activists? And how does this historicization help us to understand the tenuous space occupied by minorities in nationalizing states across contemporary Eurasia? Ranging from the early days of Soviet power to post-Soviet ethnic conflicts, the book explains how Soviet-era experiences and policies continue to shape interethnic relationships and expectations today.

The collection presents the reports of participants of the Global Food Forum organized by Moscow State University of Food Production (MSUFP) jointly with the Council for Science and Continuing Education of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, with the support of the Federation Council Committee on Agriculture and Food Policy and Environmental Management of the Federal Assembly and the assistance of Moscow Office of the Food and Agriculture Organization. The Global Food Forum 2021 became a venue for wide-ranging discussion of plans and actions realised in the Russian Federation and a number of foreign organisations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. A number of proposals were made towards coordination of inter-sectoral actions along the entire chain of food systems (production, transportation, storage, distribution and consumption), drawing special attention to the problems coupled with Sustainable Development Goals in scientific research, their expansion and allocation of necessary resources for these purposes, training of required personnel, including highly qualified staff. The Forum was attended by representatives of 28 universities and research institutes from such countries as: Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Germany, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, Tajikistan, Bulgaria and the UAE. The global attention to the Forum is accounted for by the importance of uniting world community efforts for identification and prevention of internal and external threats to food security, for development of common constructive decisions on improvement of food systems, on achieving progress, through the food resource, in respect of all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals with the view of sustainable reproduction of healthy and full-value life.

AbstractA protracted ethnic conflict generates strongly nationalist and exclusive rhetoric through the processes of dehumanizing and othering externally, and promotion of militarism and patriarchy internally. Drawing from theories of gender and conflict studies, this chapter illustrates how, in Armenia and Azerbaijan, some women oppose an inclusive culture of peace in favour of nationalist and dehumanizing discourses. Evidence from the two countries suggest that grassroots and community-driven approaches to peacebuilding can constitute confidence-building measures that transform the paradigm of “women as victims” into “women as agents of change.”

This chapter homes in on the disputed territory of Nagorny Karabakh, and its role in post-Soviet Armenian and Azerbaijani geopolitical cultures. It shows how Nagorny Karabakh has been an unstable territorial referent, with distinct understandings evolving from 1988 to the present. Drawing on field observations, interviews and popular geopolitical culture, the chapter charts the movement of this contested territory from the geographic periphery to the conceptual centre of both Armenian and Azerbaijani geopolitical cultures from the late 1980s to the present day.

The success of organizations is evaluated by measuring performance. This chapter examines the financial performance of banks in Azerbaijan. The analysis was carried out using the SECA method, based on the information obtained from the official websites of 23 banks operating in Azerbaijan in 2022. The SECA method is a multiple-decision method in which performance evaluation and the weighting of the decision criteria are determined simultaneously. Indicators of liquidity, capital adequacy, and profitability are used as decision criteria. Despite the growing number of studies on performance measurement, there is still a gap in the application of multiple decision-making methods in the banking sector. This chapter is structured as follows: Initially, literature related to the banking sector in Azerbaijan and SECA analysis is presented. Subsequently, the methodology employed in the SECA method is elucidated. Following this, there is an examination of the financial performance of banks operating in Azerbaijan. Finally, the study's findings are assessed by drawing on relevant literature.

This chapter discusses the politics and practice of empathy in peace research. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Armenia and Azerbaijan, it shows how empathetic research relations impacted the methodological design for a study of women's nongovernmental organisations and peacebuilding. Although developing friendships with some participants led to important insights and broadened the scope of the research, there were ethical risks associated with power relations and emotionally and politically sensitive information. Drawing on feminist methodologies, the chapter argues for reflexivity as a way of navigating relationships responsibly and making sense of the researcher's changing subjective position. On leaving the field, reflexivity is required in order to analyse and represent information ethically, and to understand the implications of power and empathy in the politics of knowledge production.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter investigates the archaeological landscapes of the frontiers of the Sasanian Empire. Drawing on evidence from current and archived archaeological surveys, in combination with high-resolution remote sensing datasets such as CORONA spy photography, we compare the organisation of settlements and defensive structures of the Sasanian frontier zones in response to a variety of external pressures. These varied from the Roman Empire in the west to less centralised entities, including nomadic groups, in the south-west and north-east. Following a general discussion of the multiple manifestations of Sasanian frontiers drawn from southern Mesopotamia (Iraq), northern Syria and north-eastern Iran, the main focus of the chapter is on the complex frontier landscape of the southern Caucasus, particularly the area of modern Azerbaijan, Georgia and Daghestan. We discuss the role of linear barriers, including the Gorgan Wall in north-eastern Iran and the Ghilghilchay and Derbent Walls in the Caucasus, irrigation systems, and alignments of fortifications and settlements in shaping their local landscapes. By placing the archaeological remains of the Sasanian Empire in a wider context we are able to examine the relationships between military installations, settlement patterns, infrastructure and geographical features such as mountain ranges and rivers. Comparing the different case studies allows us to conclude with some general statements on the nature of Sasanian power in the frontier territories of the empire.

This chapter describes techniques to estimate division and multiplication by certain numbers. The purpose is to help in test taking. By knowing some ways to approximate answers rapidly, some potential answers can be eliminated, enhancing the chance of choosing the correct answer from the smaller number of remaining options. It presents easy ways to determine whether a number is divisible by 11, 17, and 19. It introduces sphenic numbers, cannonball (or square pyramidal numbers) in relation to the Kepler Conjecture, as well as the Kaprekar number. Examples are drawn from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and two triple dead heats in dog racing.

Abstract In this chapter I present the basic elements of Armenian phonetics and phonology, focusing on the phonemes and their allophones, and syllable typology. This being the first systematic theoretical study of Armenian phonology (useful non-theoretical studies include Abeκjan, 1923; 1932; Fairbanks, 1948; Allen, 1950; Johnson, 1954; Atf atjan, 1971; Xathjatrjan, 1988; Sukiasjan, 1989), I have drawn my material directly from primary sources, which are cited in the appropriate locations. Throughout this study I concentrate on standard eastern Armenian (SEA), spoken in Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Iran, primarily because it distinguishes in pronunciation the three consonant series (voiced, voiceless, and voiceless aspirated) employed in both western and eastern orthography. I also make use of standard western Armenian (SWA) and various non-literary dialects where they help to shed light on the phenomena under consideration or themselves manifest interesting phenomena not found in SEA.

Full textAbstract:
The paper evaluates Nurbahş Kuhistani and Silsile-i Evliya, who lived in the 15th century. In his work, Nurbahş Kuhistani deals with Azerbaijani sufis, in which he includes names and short biographies. It is given about other Sufis who lived in the same geography and time zone as Sayyid Nesimi. This information aims to understand how Sheikh Zahid and other Sufis emerged in a geography of knowledge. Identifying the names of many Sufis from Azerbaijan, drawing attention to the Sufis that exist in their life and culture environment will contribute to the understanding of the Sufi thought and cultural environment. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the personalities of the Azerbaijani Sufis from a broader perspective.
