Methods for assessing risks in the aviation safety management system

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the civil aviation of the Republic of Azerbaijan is intensively implementing the recommendations of the international organization ICAO on the “Theory and Practice of Risk Management” in order to reduce the accident rate in air transport. It is proposed to determine the safety indicators of aviation systems through risk in order to carry out an objective measurement of the level of safety, taking into account many possible risk factors. The problem of risk management currently cannot be solved in an integrated form, since the necessary tools are missing. Therefore, a particular problem is proposed for solution, which consists in risk management exclusively in the field of flight safety. Investigated based on the results of a synthesis of materials from scientific foreign publications on the problems of creating promising flight safety management systems in civil aviation using risk management methods in the sense of ICAO definitions. This article also discusses the problem of risk identification, risk definition, many different risk management methods and different principles for their classification. A generalization is made on risk management within the framework of new directions for assessing flight safety, taking into account statistical data and monitoring results in civil aviation (CA).

STUDYING THE COMPLEXATION OF V(V) WITH 3-[2-HYDROXY-3- SULFO-5-NITROPHENYLAZO]-PENTADIONE-2,4 IN THE PRESENCE OF A THIRD COMPONENT

In the present study, we investigated the formation of the complex vanadium c 3-[2-hydroxy-3- sulfo-5-nitrophenylazo]-pentadione-2,4 (R) in the presence of cationic surfactants (CPAS) including cetylpyridinium chloride (CPCl), cetylpyridinium bromide (CPBr), and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr). The study on the pH dependence of complexation revealed that the release of the VR complex occurred at pH=4 with a maximum absorption at λ=425 nm, while the reagent exhibited a maximum absorption at 383 nm. In the presence of the third component, three-component compounds VR-СPBr, VR-CPBr, and VR-CTMABr were formed. The absorption maxima of the mixed-ligand complexes V(V) were bathochromic relative to the absorption maxima of the binary complex, with λmax values of 437 nm, 449 nm, and 454 nm, respectively. The optimal pH for complexation was found to be in the acidic region at pH 4.0, 3.0, and 3.0, respectively. The impact of the third component and reagent concentrations on complex formation was also investigated, with the maximum yield of VR complex was achieved at a concentration of 8·10-5 M R, VR-CPCl at 8·10-5 M R and 8•10-4 M CPCl, VR-CPBr at 8•10-5 M R and 8•10-4 M CPBr, and VR-CTMABr at 8•10-5 M R and 8•10-4 M CTMABr. The optimal ratio of reacting components was determined to be 1:2 and 1:2:2, respectively. The compliance with Beer's law was confirmed, and molar absorption coefficients were calculated from saturation curves. The developed method was applied to the determination of vanadium (V) in the waters of the Akstafa rivers in the Kazakh region of the Azerbaijan Republic. Keywords: complexation of vanadium(V), cationic surfactants, cetylpyridinium chloride, cetylpyridinium bromide, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

Silk Road in the aftermath of Arab conquest: Trade routes traversing Azerbaijan

The article summarizes the outcomes of the clash between Khazar Turks and Muslim Arabs in wars for the South Caucasus. More than hundred years of permanent military struggle stabilized the border along Great Caucasus Range and inevitably resulted in a search for partnership options to resume mutually advantageous long-distance trade on Silk Roads. Located on the northern littoral lands of the Caspian the Khazar khaganate occupied important space on the juncture of nomadic Eurasian steppes and lands populated by various northern peoples, Finno-Ugrian and Slavic tribes. Starting from the end of VIII century Scandinavian merchants and warriors emerged in the region claiming for their share in international trade by swords and loads of commercial goods. The article describes the system of trade communications and control established by Khazar khaganate involving various nations to Silk Road trade, as well as analyses magisterial trade routes of the time of Arab-Khazar partnership in trade. Tracking of trade flows and description of trade structure and commodities allow to conclude that magisterial trade routes went traversing the territories of Arran (modern Azerbaijan republic) and the province of Azerbaijan in the north of contemporary Iran. Con­sequently, the gradual economic interconnection, human mobility, rise of local production to serve the interests of long-distance trade and to provide local commodities demanded in the markets of Silk Road geography, generated a start of gradual economic and cultural conve­rgence between two regions of international trade transit of the time considered herein in the publication.

Linguistic activity of Shahtakhtli during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic

The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries are considered a period of revival of national awakening, self-awareness and the emergence of ideas of independence in the aesthetic and public opinion of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic occupies a special place in the history of state independence of our people. In the Republic of Azerbaijan, special importance is attached to the literary language. Azerbaijani linguistics has an ancient history. Studying the history of this linguistics, determining the role and place of outstanding linguists, enlightened intellectuals who played an important role in its development, is of great importance in terms of writing a complete history of the linguistic thought of our scientific linguistics. The Azerbaijani people, with a rich history and enormous scientific heritage, have produced outstanding public figures. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, one of the greatest linguists of Azerbaijan, who rose to the level of European standards, was the great public figure Muhammad Agha Shakhtakhtli. The prominent prose writer M. Shakhtakhtli tried to implement the ideas of education by publishing journalistic articles in the Russian-language press of the Caucasus, raised with government authorities the importance of educating the people through the media, and preached the need to reform the alphabet. . Studying and working in Europe, in the capital of France, Paris, M. Shakhtakhtli grew up as an outstanding linguist and published numerous articles in the European press about Eastern culture, the development of Azerbaijani education, and the reform of the Arabic alphabet.

Results of the Paleobotanical Researches at the Territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan

The article indicates the results of paleobotanical research in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. Materials for fossil plants in the territory Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic show that the development of the Mesophytic era covers the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, during which existed Neomesophyte and Palaeomesophyte flora. Сenophytic era covers Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary period. Flora of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic relates to Mesophytic and Сenophytic era. Modern vegetation of the region is dominated by open and semi-open coenosis i.e. rather primitive in its phytocenotic essence. These xerophilous coenosis have deep ancient roots of its origin. Flowering flora originated on the globe in the first half of the Cretaceous period. The oldest plant residues, which are known in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, refer to the end of the Cretaceous period. Found that modern flora and vegetation of their origin, above all, connected with the ancient Iranian, mainly Asia Minor or North Iranian flora penetrated here with Tertiary and being penetrated at the moment. From the more important temperate eastern slopes of the Lesser Caucasus in the Tertiary period, the study area was fenced off by the high perched Kongur-Alangez mountains and Zangezur.

EVALUATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THE NEW CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTION OF SUCKER-ROD PUMP

As is known, in our country, oil production is carried out both in the Caspian Sea and in oil fields on land. For the mechanized exploitation of oil fields on land, in most cases used different type of sucker-rod pumps. The main object of the study of the article is a new constructive solution of the pumping unit, the novelty of which is approved by the ownership certificates of the Eurasian Patent Organization and the Intellectual Property Organization of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The main factor characterizing the operation of pumping units is its quality indicators such as metal consumption, reliability, efficiency and energy consumption. When switching from a balanced sucker-rod pumping unit to an unbalanced the efficiency factor decreases from 0.834 to 0.65 and decreases from 0.605 to 0.312. In this case, power losses increase sharply not only in transmissions, but also in energy distribution networks. If the engine is not fully loaded or is not selected correctly, then these energy coefficients decrease even more. The selection of engine power is performed according to the worst conditions, i.e. the cyclic mode of operation of an unbalanced pumping unit. Despite this, it can be said that in almost all oil fields, the power of asynchronous motors is greatly exaggerated, which causes additional losses. In article proposed expressions for determining the optimal power of the electric motor were proposed, taking into account the efficiency factor of the balancing device during the balancing of the proposed new constructive solution of the beamless pumping unit with a combined, movable counter weights and rotary counter weights. This allows to prevent excess energy consumption and reduce energy costs. Which is very important in the era of globalization, when energy prices are rising sharply.

The The implementation mechanism of military diplomacy (the republic of Azerbaijan as a case study)

Purpose: is to study the relationship between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in formulating effective military diplomacy. Method: comparative analysis, and synthesis. Findings: Military capabilities and means have always been used in diplomacy. As a result, military potential plays an important role in supporting state diplomacy and creates conditions for ensuring the country's national interests. The formation of diplomatic strategy at the national level can be systematically implemented. In order to improve military diplomacy, a document on diplomatic policy (white paper) should be prepared. Currently, the Azerbaijani Army has a branch within the International Military Cooperation Department that coordinates the activities of military attachés, but this branch does not have the potential to carry out special tasks related to military diplomacy or prepare for long-term strategies. From this point of view, a Center for military diplomacy might be established at the base of that department, and one of the priority issues should be the formation of the potential to develop strategies that reflect the long-term perspectives of Azerbaijan's military diplomacy. Theoretical implications: There are many different approaches and theoretical lenses with which to study international relations and to make sense of events, trends and processes. Although such established theoretical lenses as realism, liberalism, constructivism, Marxism, feminism and others exist, neoclassical realism has been chosen as the means to make sense of this case study. Practical implications: Practitioners in the field of foreign relations will be able to understand the role of the military diplomacy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in ensuring national interests and they will be able to have a clear picture of the ways of its optimization and the factors influencing this role. Value: the study examines the role of the military diplomacy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in ensuring national interests and presents a clear picture of the ways of its optimization and the factors influencing this role. Paper type: theoretical.

Characteristic of mutual Agreement procedure in case of the double taxation treaty between Azerbaijan and Ukraine

The article is dedicated to comparative and legal analysis of the provisions on mutual agreement procedure in Art. 25 of the Convention between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of Azerbaijan Republic on Avoidance of Double taxation and Prevention of Tax Evasion regarding Taxes on Income and Capital dated 30 July 1999 in the context of recommendations included in Art. 25 of the OECD Model Tax Convention. The latter one is widely recognized source of interpretation of norms of bilateral double taxation treaties in many countries including Ukraine. This analysis, on the one hand, is aimed at finding ways of improvement of normative basis of mutual agreement procedure taking into consideration the risk of high number of tax disputes (for example, the replacement of the term ‘person’ with the term ‘resident’ in the first sentence of Art. 25(1) of the abovementioned Convention creates the risk of ambiguity in the context of personal scope of mutual agreement procedure in case of non-compliance of contracting state with the duties on non-discrimination regime) and, on the other hand, is assisting in the determination of compliance of Art. 25 of the abovementioned Convention with other international commitments of both contracting states (e.g., both contracting states have accepted commitments to introduce three-year minimum term for initiation of mutual agreement procedure by taxpayers according to the framework of the global campaign on counteracting base erosion and profit shifting but Art. 25(1) of the mentioned Convention does not mention such limitation in contrast to the provisions of Art. 25(1) of the OECD Model Tax Convention). Moreover, the author also admits that Art. 25(2) of the bilateral Convention does not include reference to the duty on implementation of mutual agreements concluded between competent authorities under the mutual agreement procedure without the link to the domestic time limits that is also not in accordance of the multilateral commitments. On the basis of this analysis, the author determines the need of amendments of Art. 25(1) and Art. 25(2) of the mentioned Convention that could improve efficiency and effectiveness of mutual agreement procedure as a mechanism of dispute resolution.
