This article addresses the continuing resilience of two post-Soviet governments – Azerbaijan and Lithuania – against community-based engagement and social protection of HIV-positive people by exploring the challenges of two social activists. The analysis shows how basic social and medical needs of people living with HIV/AIDS remain unmet, while stigmatisation informs the local health policies and manifests as a protective mechanism against contrary promotion effects. The findings call for urgent policy changes to prevent the further suffering of these people because of poor state strategies. The aim is to help further intervention practices and improve social care services for HIV-positive people in the two countries.
This paper presents the results of a study on the odonate fauna in Azerbaijan The survey was conducted in the summer of 2021 and covered 24 localities in twelve districts. A total of 34 species from 9 families was recorded. New localities for Gomphus schneiderii Selys, 1850 and Libellula pontica Selys, 1887 are reported. A formerly published record of Gomphus vulgatissimus from Khachmaz, Nabran village, has to be corrected into G. schneiderii.
Boudot et al. (2021) extirpated, without any discussion, G. vulgatissimus from the list of Azerbaijan Odonata, subsuming all records of this taxon under G. schneiderii. This is contradictory to the fact that G. vulgatissimus was documented for Azerbaijan by Bartenef (1912). We discuss the current knowledge of the two taxa G. vulgatissimus and G. schneiderii, document a new record of G. vulgatissimus for Azerbaijan, and map all known findings of the two taxa that have been reported to date as well as the potential distribution (search area) of G. vulgatissimus in northern Azerbaijan.
