Diminishing Justice and Third-Party Intervention: Explaining Russia’s ImpartialStance During the 2020 Karabakh War Abushov, Kavus; Babayev, Azar This article examines Russia’s impartiality during the second Karabakh war between Azerbaijan andArmenia in 2020, despite its close military-strategic alliance with the latter. Russia’s behavior representsa twofold deviation: a weakening of its security commitments to Armenia, and a more balanced policy ina frozen conflict in the post-Soviet space. Four factors are examined that could account for explaining thispuzzle, namely increasing bandwagoning of Azerbaijan with Russia, rising opportunity costs of interven-tion due to Turkey’s support to Azerbaijan, Russia’s potential discontent with Armenia after the 2018Velvet Revolution, and the role of a justice motive in Russian policy toward the conflict.

The partisan politics of foreign policy: explainingTurkey’s ‘nationalist turn’ and its involvement in the 2020 Karabakh war Babayev, Azar; Jumayeva, Lala This article addresses the party politics of foreign policy through a theoretically informed analysis of the political survival imperative in a domestic context. Building on recent research on party ideologies and political survival/power-seeking, it offers a fresh perspective on the influence of partisan politics on foreign policy. Drawing on qualitative data, including expert interviews, the article uses the case of Turkey as a hybrid, and thus unstable, regime to examine the partisan aspects of foreign policy with a focus on two basic links between party politics and foreign policy behaviour: party ideologies and party leadership. Specifically, the article argues that the ruling AKP’s need for domestic survival led to increasingly nationalist, populist behaviour and the formation of an alliance with the main nationalist party MHP, which in turn led to the dominance of a nationalist discourse in Turkish foreign policy, contributing to coercive or risky international moves. This is best exemplified by the AKP government’s strong support for Azerbaijan in the 2020 Karabakh war.

Azərbaycan Respublikasında Ali Məktəb Məzunlarının Məşğulluq Məsələləri Əliyeva, Gülsabah Qloballaşma proseslərinin sürətlənməsi Azərbaycan Respublikasını da dünya əmək bölgüsünə daxil etdi. Azərbaycanın dünya iqtisadiyyatına inteqrasiyası neft emalı sahəsinə yatırım dalğasına səbəb oldu və bu sahədə yeni iş yerləri yaradıldı. Buna baxmayaraq, Azərbaycanın əmək bazarında tələb və təklif arasında böyük fərq özünü göstərir. Ali məktəb məzunlarının hazırlığının əmək bazarının tələbləri ilə uyğunsuzluğu ali təhsil sisteminin peşəkar standartlar sisteminə keçidi və ixtisas çərçivələrinin müəyyən edilməsi zərurətini yaradır. Gənc mütəxəssislərin işlə təminatı məsələsinə bir tərəfdən təhsil sisteminin səciyyəvi cəhətləri, digər tərəfdən isə əmək bazarında yaranan dəyişkən tendensiyalar təsir göstərir. Məzunların əmək bazarına çıxışı ilə bağlı problemlərin həlli məqsədilə əmək meyillərinin müəyyən edilməsinə, tələbələrin peşəkar motivasiyası və əmək davranışına həsr olunmuş monitorinq tədqiqatlarının aparılmasına ehtiyac var. Hazırda, peşə təhsili sisteminin əmək bazarının tələbləri əsasında təkmilləşdirilməsi Azərbaycanın dövlət siyasətinin prioritet məsələlərindən biridir. Səriştələr əsasında hazırlanmış peşə standartlarının tətbiqi milli işçi qüvvəsinin rəqabət qabiliyyətliliyinin artırılması və onun beynəlxalq əmək bazarına inteqrasiyası üçün əsas alətdir.

Pilot study: impact of school director-led workplace professional development training for in-service teachers Olubunmi Sodiya, Oluwaseyi; Hajiyeva, Samira Teacher’s attitudes and strategies can be influenced by workplace professional learning, which in turn affects student engagement and learning. Although educators are accountable for their professional development, the school must be learning-centered and able to provide resources for all members of the institution to improve their teaching and learning skills for the overall development of the school. The project's goal was to perform a pilot intervention study on the impact of school director-led workplace professional development for in-service teachers to provide evidence and recommendations on the impact of school director-led workplace professional development training for teachers. The intervention study on school director-led workplace professional development training for teachers on formative assessment indicates that there were significant changes in teachers’ understanding and use of formative assessment. The result found that there is statistical difference between the teacher’s pre- and postintervention survey response on formative assessment workplace professional development training. The evidence stands as a recommendation for school directors, teachers, the ministry of education and other stakeholders for quality teaching and whole school development

Apollonius Problem and Caustics of an Ellipsoid Aliyev, Yagub In the paper we discuss the Apollonius Problem on the number of normals of an ellipse passing through a given point. It is known that the number is dependent on the position of the given point with respect to a certain astroida. The intersection points of the astroida and the ellipse are used to study the case when the given point is on the ellipse. The problem is then generalized for 3- dimensional space, namely for ellipsoids. The number of concurrent normals in this case is known to be dependent on the position of the given point with respect to the caustics of the ellipsoid. If the given point is on the ellipsoid then the number of normals dependends on the position of the point with respect to the intersections of the ellipsoid with its caustics. The main motivation of this paper is to find parametrizations and classify all possible cases of these intersections.

Energy Usage, Health Issues, and Pro-Environmental Behaviour: Exploring the Link and Promoting Energy Change in Kyrgyzstan Hamelin, Nicolas; Bhatti, Ishaq M. Background: This study examines the relationship between energy usage, health issues, and pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) in Kyrgyzstan amidst the country’s commitment to transition from coal-based energy to renewable sources, in line with the Paris Agreement. The purpose is to investigate citizens’ attitudes towards PEB and their intentions to engage in environmentally friendly actions, focusing on gas, electricity, and coal. Methods: Drawing upon the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) framework, a survey was conducted among 1455 respondents to explore attitudes towards PEB and energy sources’ impact on health issues. Results: Decarbonization efforts in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia are in their early stages, with coal remaining a primary energy source. The study emphasizes the importance of governmental policies and citizen action in achieving decarbonization goals. Rising electricity costs outweigh the increase in indirect energy costs for food, posing challenges for households adapting to changing energy dynamics. Conclusions: Targeted interventions and communication strategies are crucial to promote pro-environmental behaviour and facilitate the transition to sustainable energy sources. Understanding the relationships between health concerns, air pollution awareness, PEB, and energy source choices can inform policymakers and organizations to ensure a sustainable and healthy future for Kyrgyzstan and other Central Asian countries.

Modeling Techniques and Boundary Conditions in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Analysis: Latest Developments in Simulation and Integration of Machine Learning and Data-Driven Approaches Ramazanli, Burcu; Yagmur, Oyku; Sarioglu, Efe Cesur; Salman, Huseyin Enes Research on abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) primarily focuses on developing a clear understanding of the initiation, progression, and treatment of AAA through improved model accuracy. High-fidelity hemodynamic and biomechanical predictions are essential for clinicians to optimize preoperative planning and minimize therapeutic risks. Computational fluid dynamics (CFDs), finite element analysis (FEA), and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) are widely used to simulate AAA hemodynamics and biomechanics. However, the accuracy of these simulations depends on the utilization of realistic and sophisticated boundary conditions (BCs), which are essential for properly integrating the AAA with the rest of the cardiovascular system. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) techniques have introduced faster, data-driven surrogates for AAA modeling. These approaches can accelerate segmentation, predict hemodynamics and biomechanics, and assess disease progression. However, their reliability depends on high-quality training data derived from CFDs and FEA simulations, where BC modeling plays a crucial role. Accurate BCs can enhance ML predictions, increasing the clinical applicability. This paper reviews existing BC models, discussing their limitations and technical challenges. Additionally, recent advancements in ML and data-driven techniques are explored, discussing their current states, future directions, common algorithms, and limitations.
