Abstract
In the frame of an International Atomic Energy Agency Technical Cooperation project, a radiological survey was performed in the Araks and Kura Rivers (Azerbaijan). Sediment samples, and where available, aquatic plants were collected along these two rivers and their inflow and tributary rivers. 137Cs, 238U, 234U, 239+240Pu, 238Pu, 90Sr and 241Am activity concentrations were measured. The radionuclide levels measured were relatively low, and in most cases below the detection limit, as compared with those from other areas of the world which have been directly affected by effluents from nuclear installations or influenced by the Chernobyl accident. The results indicated that the radionuclides are of natural origin or attributable to the atmospheric fallout from nuclear weapons tests or to the Chernobyl-derived deposition.
A study on the fauna of snout beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) of East Azerbaijan Province (Northwest Iran) was conducted in 2014 to 2016. A total of 19 species, belonging to 4 subfamilies (Baridinae, Entiminae, Lixinae, and Molytinae) and 18 genera were collected and identified.
The article is written for the most part on the basis of the author's original field investigations. It represents the main aspects of upbringing process in modern rural Azerbaijani families in the second half of the 20th century, as well as the relationship between new and traditional in the course of upbringing. Interrelation between members of a family, their part and status in the process of socialization of the rising generation are exhibited. The main methods of upbringing, which are accepted among Azerbaijanies are under analysis. The major part of the article is concerned with labor, physical and moral education. Ethnographic investigations in Azerbaijan give ground to the expectation that boys, as a rule, go through more intensive socialization than girls. Masculine roles are inculcated harder and more consistently than feminine ones. This is a direct result of the differentiation of socialization purposes: girls are trained mainly to do the housework, but boys are trained to do the public work outside the family. However, at present, socialization among girls reveals itself in orientation not only toward limited family roles, but also toward definite public activities.

Hexaploid synthetic wheat, derived from crosses between durum wheat and Aegilops tauschii, is widely accepted as an important source of useful traits for wheat breeding. During 2015 and 2016, three groups of synthetics were studied in Azerbaijan (3 sites) and Russia (1 site). Group 1 comprised CIMMYT primary synthetics derived from eastern European winter durum wheats crossed to Ae. tauschii accessions from the Caspian Sea basin. Group 2 included lines derived from CIMMYT synthetics × bread wheat crosses. Group 3 consisted of synthetics developed in Japan by crossing durum variety Langdon with a diverse collection of Ae. tauschii accessions. Varieties Bezostaya-1 and Seri were used as checks. Group 1 synthetics were better adapted and more productive than those in group 3, indicating that the durum parent plays an important role in the adaptation of synthetics. Compared to Bezostaya-1 synthetics produced fewer spikes per unit area, an important consideration for selecting bread wheat parents for maintenance of productivity. Synthetics had longer spikes but were not generally free-threshing. All synthetics and derivatives had 1000-kernel weights comparable to Bezostya-1 and significantly higher than Seri. All primary synthetics were resistant to leaf rust, several to stem rust, and few to stripe rust. Superior genotypes from all three groups that combine high expression of spike productivity traits and stress tolerance index were identified.
Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Safavid and Mughal empires forged a remarkable history of dynastic interaction through the frequent exchange of correspondence and gifts. The ‘regifting’ of luxury objects and exotic goods across physical and cultural boundaries was a common practice in the early modern period. Safavid and Mughal rulers mainly regifted precious items of a rare nature to impress their counterparts. The paper examines the intermediary role of the Safavids in the circulation of objects between India, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire.
