    AZERBAIJAN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 1999 There is no copyright attached to this publication. It may be reproduced in whole or in part without permission from the United Nations Development Programme and its partners. However, the source should be acknowledged. United Nations Development Programme Printed by , 1999 Baku, Azerbaijan Republic Third, a complex task of institutional transition and development lies ahead. Foreword Appropriate institutions are essential to well-functioning markets and democracy. The rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms, free and fair elections, an active civil society, and public sector accountability depend entirely on the institutions that support them. The necessary institutions have begun to emerge in Azerbaijan, but an unwavering dedication to their continued creation and development is needed. As a final note, I would like to call attention to some areas where improved data col- lection and dissemination would enhance local and international efforts to analyze and address human development concerns. Azerbaijan would benefit greatly from regular, comprehensive studies of household income, income distribution, unemployment, and health. Disaggregated data by gender, region, and the displaced and resident popula- tions are also needed. The publication and ready availability of such data to all inter- ested parties—including government officials, non-governmental organizations, the international community, academics, the media, and the general public—would facili- tate the design of policies and programs to advance human development. For the past ten years, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has It is my sincere hope that this edition of the Azerbaijan Human Development Report advocated the concept of human development: the expansion of economic, political, will expand current understanding of human development concerns in Azerbaijan and and social choices for all people in society.

  • Analyzing the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Human Brucellosis In
    Abdullayev et al. BMC Infectious Diseases 2012, 12:185 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/12/185 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution of human brucellosis in Azerbaijan (1995 - 2009) using spatial and spatio-temporal statistics Rakif Abdullayev1†, Ian Kracalik2,3†, Rita Ismayilova1, Narmin Ustun1, Ayden Talibzade1 and Jason K Blackburn2,3* Abstract Background: Human brucellosis represents a significant burden to public and veterinary health globally, including the republic of Azerbaijan. The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the spatial and temporal aspects of the epidemiology of human brucellosis in Azerbaijan from 1995 to 2009. Methods: A Geographic information system (GIS) was used to identify potential changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of human brucellosis in Azerbaijan during the study period. Epidemiological information on the age, gender, date, and location of incident cases were obtained from disease registries housed at the Republican Anti-Plague station in Baku. Cumulative incidences per 100,000 populations were calculated at the district level for three, 5-year periods. Spatial and temporal cluster analyses were performed using the Local Moran’s I and the Ederer-Myer-Mantel (EMM) test. Results: A total of 7,983 cases of human brucellosis were reported during the 15-year study period. Statistically significant spatial clusters were identified in each of three, five year time periods with cumulative incidence rates ranging from 101.1 (95% CI: 82.8, 124.3) to 203.0 (95% CI; 176.4, 234.8). Spatial clustering was predominant in the west early in the study during period 1 and then in the east during periods 2 and 3.
