World-wide activity in geophysics exploration by the petroleum industry was slightly decreased in the year 1957 as compared to 1956, which was a record year. Significant gains reported in the Eastern Hemisphere were not sufficient to off-set fully the decline in activity in the Western Hemisphere. As in past years, the Committee did not receive statistical information from all countries of the world. It is known that some geophysics exploration work was done in countries from which no activity information is available. For example, according to unconfirmed reports, 320 seismic crews were in operation in Russia during 1957. Since this information could not be verified, it is not included in this report. According to reliable data received, an average of 1,122 geophysical crews of all types were employed in the search for petroleum during the year. An average of 1,136 crews were engaged in geophysics exploration in 1956, and in 1955 the average was 1,119 crews.

World‐wide activity in geophysical explorations by the petroleum industry, after reaching a record high in 1955, declined by approximately 2 percent in the first six months of 1956. An average of 1098 geophysical crews of all types were employed in the first half of 1956 compared to the 1955 average of 1119 crews. The decline in global activity can be attributed to reductions in the use of the three principal geophysics methods, seismic, gravity and magnetic in the western hemisphere. Increased use of all methods, except magnetic which showed a small decline, was reported in the eastern hemisphere.

Geophysical activity by the petroleum industry in 1959 was reduced in all the major areas of the free world except in the Far East where a small over‐all gain was reported. An average of 957 geophysical crews of all types operated in world‐wide exploration during the year. In 1956, a record high year, the world‐wide average was 1,136 crews.

The distribution of mineral deposits and the distribution of chemical elements on the globe are characterized by heterogeneity. A wide range of publications of domestic and foreign specialists - geologists, geographers, geochemists, economists - were dedicated to mineral resources of the world, mineral deposits. During processing the material the comparative-geographical, cartographic (analysis of minerals maps, mineral resources in the context of continents and regions of the world, cartographic interpretation of Mendeleev periodical table), monographic (analysis of fundamental works of leading domestic and foreign geologists and resource scientists, geologists and geologists, and geologists and geologists) directories, multi-volume editions devoted to geology and mineral resources of individual countries and regions of the world) methods, systematic approach, and GIS technologies - all these were used for received data processing and systematization. Explored mineral deposits (current and potential) form on the planet both individual local deposits and geochemical zones – areas where economically valuable chemical elements and their compounds are concentrated, which are diverse in genesis, stocks, and possibilities of exploitation. The largest of the latter is the Appalachians in the US - the Western Hemisphere, the Highveld in South Africa, Khibiny and the Ural Mountains inRussia - the Eastern Hemisphere. The leading countries in which most geochemical resources are extracted from the subsoil are the United States (65% of the total elements of Mendeleev periodical table), Russia (48%), China (38%), Canada (38%), South Africa (30%), Australia, (27%), Kazakhstan (19%), India (14%), Mexico (13%). The ideas about the level of provision of mineral resources and minerals in individual countries and territories of the world were systematized. The Mendeleev periodical table and its mineral and raw content were presented as an objective factor in the international geographical distribution of labor. The illuminated issues are confirmed high density of interdisciplinary links (geology, geography, chemistry, geochemistry, ecology, economics, regional studies, zoning).

AbstractFe XIV 530.3 nm coronal emission line observations have been used for the estimation of the green solar corona rotation. A homogeneous data set, created from measurements of the world-wide coronagraphic network, has been examined with a help of correlation analysis to reveal the averaged synodic rotation period as a function of latitude and time over the epoch from 1947 to 1991.The values of the synodic rotation period obtained for this epoch for the whole range of latitudes and a latitude band ±30° are 27.52±0.12 days and 26.95±0.21 days, resp. A differential rotation of green solar corona, with local period maxima around ±60° and minimum of the rotation period at the equator, was confirmed. No clear cyclic variation of the rotation has been found for examinated epoch but some monotonic trends for some time intervals are presented.A detailed investigation of the original data and their correlation functions has shown that an existence of sufficiently reliable tracers is not evident for the whole set of examinated data. This should be taken into account in future more precise estimations of the green corona rotation period.

The limited fossil reserves, spiraling price and environmental impact due to usage of fossil fuels leads the world wide researchers’ interest in using alternative renewable and environment safe fuels that can meet the energy demand. Biodiesel is an emerging renewable alternative fuel to conventional diesel which can be produced from both edible and non-edible oils, animal fats, algae etc. The society is in dire need of using renewable fuels as an immediate control measure to mitigate the pollution level. In this work an attempt is made to review the requisite and access the capability of the biodiesel in improving the environmental degradation.

The article provides an overview of the activities of the European Union Forum on kids' safety in Internet — Safer Internet Forum (SIF) 2019, which was held in Brussels, Belgium, in November 2019. The current Internet risks addressed by the World Wide Web users, especially children, are described.
