The article dwells on the dangers which seismical threats pose on the world-, Russia- and individual-Russian-region-wide scale if carried out. The author studies the latestprojects by the Institute ofGeophysics, the Russian Academy of Sciences, aimed at mitigating the current risks and forecasts the development of Russia with the innovations implemented in the real economy and 'no change 'scenario in effect.

The earliest of the manuscripts available in the world, "Kitab al-Qanun fi-t-tibb" ("Canon of Medicine"), by the great Abu Ali ibn Sina (980-1037), dating back to the 12th century, is kept in the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. This major work has been the most complete encyclopedia of medicine for a millennium. As early as in the 12th century, it was translated in Europe from Arabic into Latin by the Italian Gerard of Cremona (1114-1187) and then disseminated in many manuscripts. "The Canon of Medicine," Avicenna began writing when he was twenty years old and completed this work in 1020-at the age of forty, when Avicenna's medical and life experience was vast. This article is just an attempt to lift the veil over the mystery of the genius' formation, and how this priceless folio, created in the ancient Uzbek land, came to St. Petersburg.

The world economic crisis that, since 2008 has also struck the real economy, cannot be attributed only to the United States bubble which in 2007 involved the mortgage credit market, but it is the result of a series of factors among which the imbalance of the financial market, of the public accounts of the main economies and the real sector. Also agriculture, which has always been considered an anti-cyclic sector, has seen a strong slowdown with a plunge in the trade flows. This paper analyses the changes which happened to the competitive position in the world market of some Mediterranean countries and of France, Italy, Spain and Turkey in particular trying, moreover, to understand the vulnerability of the countries belonging to the EU concerning their integration into an economic and monetary union. The results show how much the crisis has involved all the countries bringing, on the whole, a reduction of the competitive potential in the international market which has been less strong in Turkey, the country characterized by a low per capita income and a low public debt. It can be seen, in particular, how the sectors with a strongest commercial specialization have showed a better resistance to the pressure of the recessive trend.

The relevance of the work is due to the need to study the mineralogy of granite pegmatites of the Lipovskiy vein field, a unique object that gave the world a large amount of crystal raw materials of colored tourmaline Purpose of the work: study of zincohögbomite found in granite pegmatites of the Lipovskiy vein field (Middle Urals). Research methodology: quantitative analysis of the chemical composition of magnetite was carried out using the X-ray spectral electron probe microanalyzer CAMECA SX 100 (The Zavaritsky Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg). The chemical composition of zincohögbomite was determined using the Jeol JSM-6390LV scanning electron microscope with an INCA Energy 450 X-Max 80 energy dispersive attachment from Oxford Instruments (The Zavaritsky Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg). Results. When studying the surface of magnetite crystals, pore spaces were found inlaid with flattened grains of an unknown mineral, mainly triangular, less often hexagonal, in shape, up to 2–3 microns in size. Based on the data on its chemical composition, this mineral was assigned to zincohögbomite. Based on crystallochemical calculations, it was found that the mineral corresponds to zincohögbomite-2H2S or zincohögbomite-8H according to the old classification. Conclusions. A new mineral was found for granite pegmatites of the Lipovskiy vein field – zincohögbomite-2H2S. It was found in the form of inclusions in magnetite individuals in common intragranite pegmatites. This is the second find of zincohögbomite in the Urals and, most likely, the first one in the world in granite pegmatites. The formation of zincohögbomite is associated with retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite facies, when primary spinels become unstable and decompose into several mineral phases. Zincohögbomite from Lipovskiy field was formed as a result of the decomposition of primary magnetite during the cooling of granite pegmatite.
