Reference excerpt

Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya (17 November 1895, Khankendi, Russian Empire – 16 September 1977, Baku, Azerbaijan SSR) was an Azerbaijani Soviet zoologist, helminthologist. Doctor of Biological Sciences (1953), professor (1954), and a Honored Worker of Science of the Azerbaijan SSR (1960).

Life Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya was born in 1895 in Khankendi. She began her career in 1916 as a teacher at a women's gymnasium. From 1922, until the end of her life she worked at the Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University. At first she was the dean of the biological faculty, and since 1937 she was the head of the department of zoology. Her research was mainly aimed at the study of parasitic worms of water and marsh birds of Azerbaijan. Shakhtakhtinskaya is the author of scientific papers and textbooks, she trained a lot of scientific personnels. She was awarded the Order of Lenin and medals. She died in Baku in 1977.

Awards Order of Lenin

Family Her husband Nemat Shakhtakhtinsky studied in St. Petersburg and worked for a long time at the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University. Their children, Togrul Shakhtakhtinsky was also a scientist and did research in the field of petrochemistry. Zahra was a descendant of the Agayevs, one of the most famous noble families in Azerbaijan. She was a relative of Faraj bey Aghayev.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya

In research: Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1895 births, 1977 deaths, 20th-century women biologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Zahra Shahtakhtinskaya outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
