Madrasa grape variety, juice, pulp, wine material, auxiliary materials, technological methods and tools were taken as the object of research. Madrasa is an autochthonous grape variety belonging to the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. The lack of full study of the quality resources of this variety, especially its color (red, pink and white) and lack of research in the direction of producing wines that differ in quality remains a problem. The sugar-acid index and phenolic ripeness were determined in Madrasa grape variety, reflecting the optimum ripeness. Active color and Colagel Clar were used in order to obtain natural wines with different colors. As the dose of the drug increases, the corresponding decrease in the amount of these substances is noticed. At the dose of 80 g/hl of the drug, both total and monomer anthocyanins were not matched and the sample became colorless. While the wine sample that was not stored and matured (control) received 7.7 points, the wine sample stored for 6 months in internally burned barrels had 7.9 points, and during that time, the internal the sample of wine stored in an unburnt barrel was rated 8.5 points. A sample of wine stored in internal fired barrels for 12 months was evaluated with 8.6 points and a sample stored in non-internally fired barrels with 8.7 points. An apparatus-technological scheme for the production of wine, which differs from the autochthonous Madrasa grape variety in terms of color and quality, has been developed. The technological scheme allows the production of wine varieties that differ in terms of gin and maturation period, based on the existing flow line for the production of red wine [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychological well-being and mental health of elderly inmates are investigated by the international organizations, committees, and researchers. One of the main factors that influence their quality of life, daily mood, and well-being is interpersonal relationship. Numerous empirical data confirm the importance of interpersonal relationship, and attitudes toward aging. A definition of attitude item can be explained as an evaluation of a stimulus as reflected in our cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses to the problem (Fiske &Taylor, 1991). In the field of geriatric psychology, research has focused on the problem of interpersonal relationship between elderly people and workers in prison environments. Prison officers are in interpersonal relationship with inmates and have responsibility for the safety, and security of the prison facility, and also for managing organizational demands (Schaufeli & Peeters, 2000). Some researchers have shown that the health, and wellbeing of prison officers remain poor, and risk of being affected by different mental health problems, as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (Viotti, 2016). A systematic review of research and policy papers, articles that published on interpersonal relationship between elderly inmates and officers in correctional facilities, also effective programs outcomes were conducted. The main symptoms of the problem were measured with a special checklist and questionnaires. The quality of life was measured QOL survey that was made based on WHO (World Health Organization) QOL questionnaire. 200 elderly prisoners have been involved in the research from different prison regimes of Azerbaijan correctional facilities between 2019-2020.
