Article Queer Lives in the Social Media Prism: Precarious LGBTQIA Plus Visibility and Lateral Surveillance in Azerbaijan(Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Seyidov, Ilgar; Pentzold, ChristianIn countries where state institutions and the public largely reject LGBTQIA+ identities and issues, queer people struggle with visibility. Next to governments and technology providers, what queer people do, who they connect to, and how they express themselves is being watched and scrutinized by their families and proximate relations. This lateral surveillance is afforded by social media that establish, as we argue in this article, a prism. Here, LGBTQIA+ lives become refracted as extensive though incoherent patterns of digital traces. How queer people respond to this situation where the binary of visible versus invisible falls apart is poorly understood. To address that gap, we interrogate the precarious management of visibility attempted by LGBTQIA+ people in Azerbaijan with its heteropatriarchal, honor-driven culture. Based on our exploratory interview study, we find that queer Azerbaijanis were confronted with a highly ambivalent scopic setup where context collision loomed large. In effect, they supported LGBTQIA+ visibility but had personally decided not to live or promote it. Yet whilst their attempts to remain opaque may contradict their activistic compliancy, this was a logical reaction to too hard to handle terms of visibility.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Experimental Evaluation of Surveillance Capsule Assemblies for Life Assessment of Chasnupp Unit-1 Reactor Pressure Vessel(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Sahin, Sumer; Saeed, AsimNeutron flux and energy spectrum were determined at the surface of three in-vessel Surveillance Capsule Assemblies (SCAs) removed from CHASNUPP Unit-1 after 2nd, 4th, and 9th fuel cycles for the life assessment of reactor pressure vessel belt line region. Dosimetry data were measured from radiometric sensors irradiated in base material section of SCAs. Fast neutron flux (E > 1.0 MeV) was best estimated at the surface of three SCAs corresponding to the center of C-1 core using the least square method by employing LSL-M2 package. These results were compared with fast neutron flux calculated using DOT3.5 code and both results are within good agreement of +/- 20% acceptance criteria as described in Regulatory Guide 1.190. Therefore, calculational model was validated by dosimetry evaluation and these results can be used in the life assessment of CHASNUPP Unit-1 pressure vessel belt line region. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
