description: Background:Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are first-line regimens for HIV treatment. We aimed to examine their impact on cognitive performance and depressive symptoms in women with HIV (WWH).Setting:Women's Interagency HIV Study, a multisite, prospective, cohort study.Methods:WWH who started or switched to INSTI-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) and completed neuropsychological testing and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale before and after INSTI start/switch were included in the analyses. Primary outcomes were demographically corrected cognitive domain T-scores. Linear mixed-effects models adjusted for relevant covariates were used to examine effects of start/switch of any INSTI and individual INSTI drugs on cognition and CES-D scores.Results:Six hundred thirty-nine WWH, median age 49 (interquartile range 12) years, 66% Black non-Hispanic, had neuropsychological and CES-D scale data before and after INSTI start/switch. Although 14% started INSTI-based ART, the remainder switched to INSTI-based ART from another regimen. Overall, any INSTI use was associated with poorer learning post-INSTI. Specifically, use of dolutegravir and elvitegravir, but not raltegravir, was associated with poorer learning. In analyses restricted to INSTI switch, any INSTI use, and dolutegravir use, was associated with poorer learning. Among those switching from a PI-based regimen, INSTIs overall and dolutegravir remained associated with poorer learning; switching from a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor to dolutegravir was also associated with poorer learning. INSTI start/switch was not related to depressive symptom changes.Conclusions:INSTI use was associated with poorer learning among WWH. These changes were mainly observed in elvitegravir and dolutegravir users, indicating that the impact of INSTI on cognition in WWH may not be a class effect.

description: The EU-7 PIM (potentially inappropriate medication) criteria represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date tool for evaluation of PIM prescribing in Europe. In some EU countries, the lower availability of PIMs from EU-7 PIM list was confirmed which may decrease applicability of EU-7 criteria in clinical pharmacy (CP) research in these countries, however it might also decrease the use of PIMs. The aim of our study was to document approval rates, availability and prescription limits of EU-7 PIMs in several Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) in order to describe the applicability of EU-7 tool and availability of PIMs when prescribing to older patients.

description: Globally, the productive utilization of biomass has paid serious attention to fulfilling the energy requirements laid out by the international standards, as to reduce related carbon footprints. Therefore, this study investigates date palm waste leaves which aims to produce environment friendly H2 gas using gasification technology. The results of 25 experimental runs exhibited that the higher H2 produced at higher temperature which was mainly supported by water-gas-shift and steam-methane reforming reactions. H2 prediction was modeled using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN). The RSM model exhibited a strong interaction with the regression coefficient (R2) and p-value of 0.89 and 0.000000, respectively. ANN data was disseminated thru K-fold contrivance with back-propagation algorithm. Hence, the training (80% data) and validation (20% data) datasets were found with R2 and root mean squared error (RSME) of 0.90 and 0.28, and 0.86 and 0.39, respectively. Kinetics of the process estimated the activation energies (Ea) using Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW), Starink (STK), and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) models. Hence, the values of Ea and R2 at conversion degrees (a) 0.1 to 0.8 were ranged between 129.40 and 326.64 kJ/mol and 0.92 to 0.97, respectively. Optimum H2 production of 49.03 vol% (with LHV of 11.10 MJ/Nm3) was produced. This finding is thought to be a better source of energy which can be an appropriate fuel for Fischer Tropsch process for manufacturing of transportation fuels.

description: Increasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration in the atmosphere has become a crucial problem because it has greatly contributed to global warming. Previously, Aprotic Heterocyclic Anions (AHAs) based Ionic liquids (ILs) have been developed for post combustion CO₂ capture applications. In order to design the proper combination of ILs which balance the chemical and physical properties, the understanding of fundamental interactions between cations and anions is essential. Particularly, the hydrogen bonding between cations and anions has been identified as a crucial interaction that affects the determination of properties. In this study, we have selected imidazolium and phosphonium cations with good fluidity and thermal stability, pairing them with AHAs with varying basicity and geometry. We investigated the effect of hydrogen bonding in the selected ILs on chemical and physical properties by measuring and correlating the strength of hydrogen bonding with those chemical and physical properties. We found that the role of hydrogen bonding on the determination of physical properties in the selected IL is somewhat different depending on the choice of cation and different geometries of the anions. Furthermore, the structural and chemical knowledge that we gained was applied to the study of electrochemical CO₂ reduction. To focus on the utilization of ILs as additives to effectively catalyze CO₂ reduction on the surface, we have investigated the CO₂ chemistries of the different basic AHAs in diluted organic solvent, acetonitrile (MeCN) with a supporting electrolytes, and eventually compared with the CO₂ chemistries which were observed in the corresponding systems of neat ILs. Then, we have investigated the role of different CO₂ complexes on electrochemical CO₂ reduction. We found that cation-CO₂ complexes with imidazolium ILs did not improve electrochemical CO₂ reduction in non-aqueous systems. Also, unfortunately, anion-CO₂ complexes were not observed in non-aqueous systems due to the solvent effect. Finally, upon addition of water, the formation of bicarbonate with the reprotonated anions led to a slight improvement in electrochemical CO₂ reduction

description: OBJECTIVE: To assess longitudinal changes in cognitive performance across menopause stages in a sample comprised primarily of low-income women of color, including women with HIV (WWH). METHODS: A total of 443 women (291 WWH; 69% African American; 18% Hispanic; median age = 42 y) from the Women's Interagency HIV Study completed tests of verbal learning and memory, attention/working memory, processing speed, verbal fluency, motor skills, and executive function first at an index premenopausal visit and thereafter once every 2 years for up to six visits (mean follow-up = 5.7 y). General linear-mixed effects regression models were run to estimate associations between menopause stages and cognition, in the overall sample and in WWH. We examined both continuous scores and categorical scores of cognitive impairment (yes/no >1 standard deviation below the mean). RESULTS: Adjusting for age and relevant covariates, the overall sample and WWH showed longitudinal declines in continuous measures of learning, memory, and attention/working memory domains from the premenopause to the early perimenopause and from the premenopause to the postmenopause, Ps < 0.05 to < 0.001. Effects on those same domains were also evident in categorical scores of cognitive impairment, with the increased odds of impairment ranging from 41% to 215%, Ps < 0.05 to < 0.001. The increase in predicted probability of impairment by menopausal stage (% affected) ranged from 4% to 13%. CONCLUSIONS: Menopause stage was a key determinant of cognition in a sample of low-income women of color, including WWH. Many of these changes reached a clinically significant level of cognitive impairment.
Tell Me What You've Read and I'll Tell You What You Can Write: Mental Models and Shakespeare's Authorship Question 400 years after the First Folio

Subjects: Shakespeare authorship, Mental Model

description: This article assumes that the performance of intellectual activities presupposes a corresponding Mental Model. The mental model of a man of letters like Shakespeare is based on his intellectual experience derived from access to libraries and books, attentive reading, experience in the court issues, traveling and mastering languages. The article raises the hypothesis that William of Stratford had a Mental Model as a businessman and not as a man of letters, author of Shakespeare's works. This hypothesis is based on existing information about Willian's intellectual background, as well as on recently discovered information about his activities as a grain merchant, theater owner and manager. The method used to support my hypothesis is to point out all the possible references contained in Shakespeare's works, showing that William could hardly have had access to these references, as he did not have books, there were no libraries at his disposal and he was not in the habit of reading. Some authors mention that Willian could have overcome this difficulty through the use of friend´s libraries, but there is no indication that this actually happened. The paper also mentions that the most likely candidates for Shakespeare's authorship (Francis Bacon and Edward De Vere) had wide access to books and libraries, intellectual training and the habit of reading and studying, necessary for the formation of the mental model represented in the constructions. Finally, the article concludes that the Mental Model framework can be a complementary and promising tool to help clarify the question of Shakespeare's authorship.

description: Eugene Wigner's much-discussed notion of the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" as applied to describing the physics of empirical reality is simultaneously both trivial and profound. After all, the relevant mathematics was (in the first instance) originally developed in order to be useful in describing empirical reality. On the other hand, certain aspects of the mathematical superstructure have by now taken on a life of their own, with at least some features of the mathematical superstructure greatly exceeding anything that can be directly probed or verified, or even justified, by empirical experiment. Specifically, I wish to raise the possibility that the real number system (with its nevertheless pragmatically very useful tools of real analysis and mathematically rigorous notions of differentiation and integration) may nevertheless constitute a "wrong turn" (a "sub-optimal" choice) when it comes to modelling empirical reality. Without making any definitive recommendation, I shall discuss several reasonably well-developed alternatives.

description: Cognitive complications persist in antiretroviral therapy(ART)-treated people with HIV. However, the pattern and severity of domain-specific cognitive performance is variable and may be exacerbated by ART-mediated neurotoxicity. 929 women with HIV(WWH) from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study who were classified into subgroups based on sociodemographic and longitudinal behavioral and clinical data using semi-parametric latent class trajectory modelling. Five subgroups were comprised of: 1) well-controlled HIV with vascular comorbidities(n = 116); 2) profound HIV legacy effects(CD4 nadir <250 cells/μL; n = 275); 3) primarily <45 year olds with hepatitis C(n = 165); 4) primarily 35–55 year olds(n = 244), and 5) poorly-controlled HIV/substance use(n = 129). Within each subgroup, we fitted a constrained continuation ratio model via penalized maximum likelihood to examine adjusted associations between recent ART agents and cognition. Most drugs were not associated with cognition. However, among the few drugs, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors(PIs) were most commonly associated with cognition, followed by nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTIs) and integrase inhibitors(IIs). Directionality of ART-cognition associations varied by subgroup. Better psychomotor speed and fluency were associated with ART for women with well-controlled HIV with vascular comorbidities. This pattern contrasts women with profound HIV legacy effects for whom poorer executive function and fluency were associated with ART. Motor function was associated with ART for younger WWH and primarily 35–55 year olds. Memory was associated with ART only for women with poorly-controlled HIV/substance abuse. Findings demonstrate interindividual variability in ART-cognition associations among WWH and highlight the importance of considering sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral factors as an underlying contributors to cognition.

description: We propose and analyze an overlapping Schwarz preconditioner for the $p$ and $hp$ boundary element method for the hypersingular integral equation in 3D. We consider surface triangulations consisting of triangles. The condition number is bounded uniformly in the mesh size $h$ and the polynomial order $p$. The preconditioner handles adaptively refined meshes and is based on a local multilevel preconditioner for the lowest order space. Numerical experiments on different geometries illustrate its robustness.

description: The interactions of a hydrophilic surface with water can significantly influence the characteristics of the liquid water interface. In this manuscript, we explore this influence by studying the molecular structure of liquid water at a disordered surface with tunable surface-water interactions. We combine all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with a mean field model of interfacial hydrogen bonding to analyze the effect of surface-water interactions on the structural and energetic properties of the liquid water interface. We find that the molecular structure of water at a weakly interacting (i.e., hydrophobic) surface is resistant to change unless the strength of surface-water interactions are above a certain threshold. We find that below this threshold water's interfacial structure is homogeneous and insensitive to the details of the disordered surface, however, above this threshold water's interfacial structure is heterogeneous. Despite this heterogeneity, we demonstrate that the equilibrium distribution of molecular orientations can be used to quantify the energetic component of the surface-water interactions that contribute specifically to modifying the interfacial hydrogen bonding network. We identify this specific energetic component as a new measure of hydrophilicity, which we refer to as the intrinsic hydropathy.

description: We consider a semi-linear heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions and globally Lipschitz nonlinearity, posed on a bounded domain of R^N (N $\in$ N *), assumed to be an unknown perturbation of a reference domain. We are interested in an insensitizing control problem, which consists in finding a distributed control such that some functional of the state is insensitive at the first order to the perturbations of the domain. Our first result consists of an approximate insensitization property on the semi-linear heat equation. It rests upon a linearization procedure together with the use of an appropriate fixed point theorem. For the linear case, an appropriate duality theory is developed, so that the problem can be seen as a consequence of well-known unique continuation theorems. Our second result is specific to the linear case. We show a property of exact insensitization for some families of deformation given by one or two parameters. Due to the nonlinearity of the intrinsic control problem, no duality theory is available, so that our proof relies on a geometrical approach and direct computations.

One one hand, this lets us tell when one rubber band network is looser than another, and on the other hand tell when one conformal surface embeds in another. We apply this to give a new characterization of hyperbolic critically finite rational maps among branched self-coverings of the sphere, by a positive criterion: a branched covering is equivalent to a hyperbolic rational map if and only if there is an elastic graph with a particular "self-embedding" property. This complements the earlier negative criterion of W. Thurston.

description: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is inconsistently associated with depression. These associations may depend on factors such as biological sex, age, and health status. Identifying such factors may help optimize treatment of HIV and depression. We implemented a novel approach to examine interindividual variability in the association between ART agents and depressive symptoms. 3434 women living with HIV (WLWH) from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) were computationally divided into subgroups based on sociodemographic (e.g., age) and longitudinal (from 1995 to 2016) behavioral and clinical profiles (e.g., substance use, HIV RNA, CD4 counts). Five subgroups (n’s ranged from 482 to 802) were identified and characterized as those with: controlled HIV/vascular comorbidities; profound HIV legacy effects; younger women [<45 years of age] with hepatitis C; primarily 35–55 year olds; and poorly controlled HIV/substance use. Within each subgroup, we examined associations between ART agents used over the past 6 months and item-level depressive symptoms on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Tenofovir (4 of 5 subgroups) followed by efavirenz, emtricitabine, stavudine, lopinavir, etravirine, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and maraviroc were the most common agents associated with depressive symptoms, although the pattern and directionality varied by subgroup. For example, lopinavir was associated with fewer symptoms among the subgroup with a legacy HIV effect but more symptoms among the subgroup with well-controlled HIV/vascular comorbidities. Unexpectedly, dolutegravir and raltegravir were not associated with depressive symptoms among any subgroup. Findings underscore marked interindividual variability in ART agents on depression in WLWH. Sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral factors are important determinants of the relationship between ART agents and depressive symptoms in WLWH.

description: We have developed a Python package ZMCintegral for multi-dimensional Monte Carlo integration on multiple Graphics Processing Units(GPUs). The package employs a stratified sampling and heuristic tree search algorithm. We have built three versions of this package: one with Tensorflow and other two with Numba, and both support general user defined functions with a user-friendly interface. We have demonstrated that Tensorflow and Numba help inexperienced scientific researchers to parallelize their programs on multiple GPUs with little work. The precision and speed of our package is compared with that of VEGAS for two typical integrands, a 6-dimensional oscillating function and a 9-dimensional Gaussian function. The results show that the speed of ZMCintegral is comparable to that of the VEGAS with a given precision. For heavy calculations, the algorithm can be scaled on distributed clusters of GPUs.

description: In this article, we study the maximal length of positive Dehn twist factorizations of surface mapping classes. In connection to fundamental questions regarding the uniform topology of symplectic 4-manifolds and Stein fillings of contact 3-manifolds coming from the topology of supporting Lefschetz pencils and open books, we completely determine which boundary multitwists admit arbitrarily long positive Dehn twist factorizations along nonseparating curves, and which mapping class groups contain elements admitting such factorizations. Moreover, for every pair of positive integers g,n, we tell whether or not there exist genus-g Lefschetz pencils with n base points, and if there are, what the maximal Euler characteristic is whenever it is bounded above. We observe that only symplectic 4-manifolds of general type can attain arbitrarily large topology regardless of the genus and the number of base points of Lefschetz pencils on them.

description: Aufgrund des demographischen Wandels und der zunehmenden Bevölkerungsdichte im urbanen Raum wird es in Zukunft zu neuen Herausforderungen in der Planung und Vorbereitung von Katastrophenlagen in Städten kommen. Dabei wird vor allem der Nutzen von IKT für ältere Menschen in Bezug auf (Groß-)Schadenslagen von hoher Relevanz sein, der in der bisherigen Forschung nicht angemessen betrachtet wurde. Mittels eines nutzerzentrierten Ansatzes wird untersucht, wie eine geeignete Krisenkommunikation durch IKT für ältere Menschen funktionieren könnte. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Vorbereitung für die ältere Population in Großstädten im Falle einer (Groß-)Schadenslage zu untersuchen und zu unterstützen. Gerade für das System Stadt sind die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit von Relevanz und können helfen, den urbanen Raum resilienter gegen mögliche Katastrophen zu gestalten.

description: With the increasing demand for predictable and accountable Artificial Intelligence, the ability to explain or justify recommender systems results by specifying how items are suggested, or why they are relevant, has become a primary goal. However, current models do not explicitly represent the services and actors that the user might encounter during the overall interaction with an item, from its selection to its usage. Thus, they cannot assess their impact on the user's experience. To address this issue, we propose a novel justification approach that uses service models to (i) extract experience data from reviews concerning all the stages of interaction with items, at different granularity levels, and (ii) organize the justification of recommendations around those stages. In a user study, we compared our approach with baselines reflecting the state of the art in the justification of recommender systems results. The participants evaluated the Perceived User Awareness Support provided by our service-based justification models higher than the one offered by the baselines. Moreover, our models received higher Interface Adequacy and Satisfaction evaluations by users having different levels of Curiosity or low Need for Cognition (NfC). Differently, high NfC participants preferred a direct inspection of item reviews. These findings encourage the adoption of service models to justify recommender systems results but suggest the investigation of personalization strategies to suit diverse interaction needs.

description: Cognitive impairment remains frequent and heterogeneous in presentation and severity among virally suppressed (VS) women with HIV (WWH). We identified cognitive profiles among 929 VS-WWH and 717 HIV-uninfected women from 11 Women's Interagency HIV Study sites at their first neuropsychological (NP) test battery completion comprised of: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised, Trail Making, Symbol Digit Modalities, Grooved Pegboard, Stroop, Letter/Animal Fluency, and Letter-Number Sequencing. Using 17 NP performance metrics (T-scores), we used Kohonen self-organizing maps to identify patterns of high-dimensional data by mapping participants to similar nodes based on T-scores and clustering those nodes. Among VS-WWH, nine clusters were identified (entropy = 0.990) with four having average T-scores ≥45 for all metrics and thus combined into an “unimpaired” profile (n = 311). Impaired profiles consisted of weaknesses in: (1) sequencing (Profile-1; n = 129), (2) speed (Profile-2; n = 144), (3) learning + recognition (Profile-3; n = 137), (4) learning + memory (Profile-4; n = 86), and (5) learning + processing speed + attention + executive function (Profile-5; n = 122). Sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical variables differentiated profile membership using Random Forest models. The top 10 variables distinguishing the combined impaired vs. unimpaired profiles were: clinic site, age, education, race, illicit substance use, current and nadir CD4 count, duration of effective antiretrovirals, and protease inhibitor use. Additional variables differentiating each impaired from unimpaired profile included: depression, stress-symptoms, income (Profile-1); depression, employment (Profile 2); depression, integrase inhibitor (INSTI) use (Profile-3); employment, INSTI use, income, atazanavir use, non-ART medications with anticholinergic properties (Profile-4); and marijuana use (Profile-5). Findings highlight consideration of NP profile heterogeneity and potential modifiable factors contributing to impaired profiles.

Critical Stokes number for the capture of inertial particles by recirculation cells in 2D quasi-steady flows

description: Inertial particles are often observed to be trapped, temporarily or permanently, by recirculation cells which are ubiquitous in natural or industrial flows. In the limit of small particle inertia, determining the conditions of trapping is a challenging task, as it requires a large number of numerical simulations or experiments to test various particle sizes or densities. Here, we investigate this phenomenon analytically and numerically in the case of heavy particles (e.g. aerosols) at low Reynolds number, to derive a trapping criterion that can be used both in analytical and numerical velocity fields. The resulting criterion allows to predict the characteristics of trapped particles as soon as single-phase simulations of the flow are performed. Our analysis is valid for two-dimensional particle-laden flows in the vertical plane, in the limit where the particle inertia, the free-fall terminal velocity, and the flow unsteadiness can be treated as perturbations. The weak unsteadiness of the flow generally induces a chaotic tangle near heteroclinic or homoclinic cycles if any, leading to the apparent diffusion of fluid elements through the boundary of the cell. The critical particle Stokes number Stc below which aerosols also enter and exit the cell in a complex manner has been derived analytically, in terms of the flow characteristics. It involves the non-dimensional curvature-weighted integral of the squared velocity of the steady fluid flow along the dividing streamline of the recirculation cell. When the flow is unsteady and St > Stc, a regular motion takes place due to gravity and centrifugal effects, like in the steady case. Particles driven towards the interior of the cell are trapped permanently. In contrast, when the flow is unsteady and St < Stc, particles wander in a chaotic manner in the vicinity of the border of the cell, and can escape the cell.

description: I study horizontal inequalities in higher education, paying particular attention to gender imbalances. I evaluate policy interventions to understand how imbalances arise and how we can best correct them. Additionally, I study further consequences of the imbalances, primarily by analysing the interaction between advantaged and disadvantaged groups. My first paper explains university admission systems’ role in generating horizontal gender segregation in tertiary education. The paper exploits an admission system reform that improves application scores for students who graduate with a GPA higher than their high school average. I test whether the reform is neutral to gender and examine its effect on students’ career choices. I find that (1) the reform improves women’s application scores relative to men’s, and (2) that students who benefit from the reform are more likely to apply and enrol in better-paid fields. The second paper evaluates two gender affirmative action interventions implemented in engineering schools. First, I use a difference-in-difference approach to estimate the effectiveness of the policies. Then, a peer effects model to explore further consequences of the reform on students’ academic performance and drop-out rates. I find (1) that both interventions successfully increased female participation in engineering school, (2) they led to lower first-year drop-out rates among women, and (3) indirectly improved performance in collaborative projects for men and women. Finally, the third paper expands on the effects of peers on students’ outcomes by examining interactions in small teams. The chapter tests how gender composition and the share of non-native English speakers affect students’ academic performance, and perceptions of their team dynamics. We find (1) that an increased percentage of women improves students’ grades and perceptions of whether they felt heard during discussions, and (2) the achievement gap between native and non-native speakers diminishes when more women and non-native peers are in the team.
Partitioning de Bruijn Graphs into Fixed-Length Cycles for Robot Identification and Tracking

description: We propose a new camera-based method of robot identification, tracking and orientation estimation. The system utilises coloured lights mounted in a circle around each robot to create unique colour sequences that are observed by a camera. The number of robots that can be uniquely identified is limited by the number of colours available, $q$, the number of lights on each robot, $k$, and the number of consecutive lights the camera can see, $\ell$. For a given set of parameters, we would like to maximise the number of robots that we can use. We model this as a combinatorial problem and show that it is equivalent to finding the maximum number of disjoint $k$-cycles in the de Bruijn graph $\text{dB}(q,\ell)$. We provide several existence results that give the maximum number of cycles in $\text{dB}(q,\ell)$ in various cases. For example, we give an optimal solution when $k=q^{\ell-1}$. Another construction yields many cycles in larger de Bruijn graphs using cycles from smaller de Bruijn graphs: if $\text{dB}(q,\ell)$ can be partitioned into $k$-cycles, then $\text{dB}(q,\ell)$ can be partitioned into $tk$-cycles for any divisor $t$ of $k$. The methods used are based on finite field algebra and the combinatorics of words.

description: Mountainous Karabakh is a regional conflict in the recent territory of Azerbaijan with the population of ethnic Armenians. It is a part of historical Karabakh and the reason why it had given autonomy, was to underline an ethnic factor of its population. All member states of the United Nations, beside Armenia, recognize Mountainous Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory with ethnic Armenian population. Mountainous Karabakh is a disputed territory between Azerbaijan and Armenia and both sides have their claims on this territory. Historical sources about Mountainous Karabakh are various and confusing. In 14th century, Safavid Empire gave autonomy-like status to Mountainous Karabakh and this status was retained during the next four centuries. Until 1991, Mountainous Karabakh was a little isolated region with aoutonomous oblast status within the Azerbaijan SSR. In 1992, Mountainous Karabakh declared itself as independent republic, which resulted in armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh is a clash of political ambitions. Positions of parties still exclude each other.The scientific research ‘Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh’ is based on the qualitative research method and analyzes primary and secondary documents. It includes: introduction, main part, major research, conclusion and bibliography. Major research represents reasons of the conflict and the security dilemma: geographical factor, ethnographic factor, nationalism, Russia, ethnic affinity problem, different historical sources and economic factor. The last part of this work involves recommendations for the conflict resolution.
