Dichotomy of Family Relations of Azerbaijani Society in the Process of Globalization

This article examines the issues related to the fundamental social changes that are taking place in all countries with a transition economy. It is noted that against the background of globalization of the world, a systemic transformation of modern Azerbaijani society takes place, which influences the formation of new family relations in the country. Tracing the main trends in the formation of new family relations in Azerbaijan in the context of the formation of civil society, contradictions and dif-ficulties in this area and indicating ways to overcome them is of urgent importance both in scientific and theoretical/philosophical and sociological, philosophical, and socially practical terms

Octane improvement of gasoline with porous solids

In this work is performed the study of the hexane isomers separation with MOFs in order to improve the octane number of gasoline. The studies were performed with MOFs: MIL-125-Amine, MIL-53(Fe)-Cl, MIL-53(Fe)-Br and Fe-TazBz(DMF). It was observed that higher loadings were obtained for high pressure and low temperature. With MOFs like MIL-53(Fe)-Cl and MIL-53(Fe)-Br the components weren’t separated. In MIL-125-Amine hexane isomers were separated according to their boiling point, but the selectivity was small. The best result was obtained with MOF Fe-TazBz(DMF), because of the higher affinity of n-hex with this MOF, the separation from the other isomers was easier.Neste trabalho, mostra-se a capacidade de separação de isómeros do hexano com MOFs para aumentar o índice de octano da gasolina. O estudos fizeram-se nos MOFs: MIL-125-Amine, MIL-53(Fe)-Cl, MIL-53(Fe)-Br and Fe-TazBz(DMF). Observou-se que as maiores capacidades obtêm-se para a temperatura baixa e pressão alta. Nos MOFs MIL-53(Fe)-Cl e MIL-53(Fe)-Br os componentes não foram separados. No MOF MIL-125-Amine os isómeros foram separados seguindo aponto normal de ebulição dos compostos mas a selectividade é baixa. O melhor resultado obteve-se para o MOF Fe-TazBz(DMF) devido à maior afinidade deste composto com o MOF separando-o dos outros isómeros

PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PRISONERS (AZERBAIJAN CASE)

The main object of this study is to assess the prevalence of mental illness (diagnosis) and symptoms of psychopathology, evaluate the correlation between variables. (Independent variables: age, imprisonment years, marital status. Dependent variables: psychopathological symptoms). The survey study was conducted among inmates at correctional facilities in Azerbaijan. Participants were conducted from January 2023-March 2023. A total of participants was 45 male prisoners. Prisoners reported lifetime or current diagnosis of depression, anxiety, guilt feelings, tension, mental retardation and other disorder, as well as current mental health symptoms. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-BPRS was used to measure the symptoms, and SPSS program for analyzing the statistics. Of the 50 inmates invited to participate, 45 (90%) of them were consistent with research (mean [SD] age, 41,1 [5.3] years; 45 [100%] male; imprisonment years 9,51 [2.9]; 26 [57,8%] of them have previous imprisonment experience, 19 [42,2%] of them don’t have any punishment before). A statistically significant positive correlation was examined between the increasing age factor of the prisoner and the symptoms of somatic anxiety, thought disorders, tension, mannerism and posturing, slowness of movements, disruption of social cooperation, unusual content of thoughts, blunting of affect (r= 0.633* *,*p<0.05, **p<0.01); a positive significance statistical correlation was examined between the increasing sentence duration  and the mental health problems (r= 0.459**,*p<0.05, **p<0.01);  Mental health problems of persons who had previous prison experience were higher than persons convicted for the first time, respectively: 31.7±10.1 and 28.53±9.4 (F=2.64; p=0.111; t=-1,08; df=43);  Lack of family support was followed by negative consequences in their mental health. Thus, the total index of mental disorders in unmarried persons is 25.4±9.8; 27.06±6.4 in married people; 40±5.6 was obtained in divorced and isolated individuals. Moreover, educational factor of the prisoners shows its effect in maintaining their emotional stability and knowledge about mental health problems

The Role Of Valwes In Forming The Identity of Migrants

On the leading role of values for the development of identity and ensuring the effective adaptation of migrants to the new ethnocultural environment, during the research process, we set the task to identify the values of migrants living in Azerbaijan. At the same time, such factors as the length of residence in the country and the age of the respondents were taken into account. The study involved 235 migrants, of whom 98 are Koreans and 137 Turks, who have been living in Azerbaijan for at least five years, aged 18-40. There are 55 women among Koreans, 43 men, 87 men and 50 women among Turks. The results of our study showed that the lower the level of national identity, the greater the opportunity for migrants to choose a marginal adaptation strategy. This behavior strategy leads to dissatisfaction, social and psychological safety of the migrant. Having lost the values of their culture, the migrant loses an adequate standard “image of the world”, which underlies the adaptation of the individual to the social environment. This means that the individual lacks values, patterns of adequate behavior, he has lost the significance of his culture, and therefore cannot adequately assess and accept the values of the host culture. Research has shown that a high level of indicators on such scales as the scale of interactivity (19%) and the scale of adaptation (18%) indicates that respondents feel confident enough in the new environment, are open to cooperation and are focused on self-realization, which gives them a sense of social and physical security. This situation, naturally, lowers the indicator on the scale of depression, which indicates the absence of serious emotional problems

Students’values and their Mental Health During Pandemic

Values are widely studied concept by many researchers  trying to explore how basic values influence the way individuals think, feel and behave (Durkheim, 1964; Weber, 1958; Hitlin & Piliavin, 2004; Rohan, 2000; Schwartz, 1992; Smith & Schwartz, 1997; Schwartz, 2006; Williams, 1968). Values are playing crucial role in the formation of individuals’ personality and this influence can be better explained by the components of these values which consist of how student perceive the reality, what they know, how they feel and the way they react to various situations.  Taken together these components help to form certain attitudes toward different objects, other people and situations and serve as a basis for students’ motivation. Therefore, by influencing the attitudes and motivations of individuals values are having various consequences. The current study attempted to understand some of the psychological consequences of values on students’ mental health.  The results of the study show that there are value differences for male and female students. In addition, the degree of anxiety and depression was assessed, and statistical analysis of the data shows that females are more anxious (F=0.24, p < 0.001) and depressed F=8.04 (p< 0.001) compared to male students and these differences were found to be statistically significant.Conformity, tradition, universalism, and power values were greater for females compared to males and these differences were statistically significant. Self-direction value was found to be more important to male students compared to female students and the difference was statistically significant. These findings lead to the conclusion that values that are having greater importance for females could be one of the factors contributing to their level of anxiety and depression while values being important for male students could be the factor helping them to cope with stressful situations. The development of further research would be suggested to explore the contribution of certain values to the level of anxiety and depression for students with more diverse and large sample
