Статья посвящена исследованию одной из малоизученных проблем механизмов распространения металла из центров его получения/изготовления на периферию. В Центральной Азии металл появляется с III тыс. до н. э. Далее на восток (Забайкалье, Приморье, Якутия, Манчжурия, Корея) металлические вещи проникают в конце II - начале I тыс. до н. э. Территории Саяно-Алтая, Монголии и Забайкалья богаты месторождениями металлов. Далее к востоку богатые металлами районы входят в Тихоокеанский металлогенический пояс. Описаны имитации металлического оружия (копий и кинжалов), изготовленные из местного сланца. Выделены три хронологические группы: предметы сейминско-турбинского облика, карасукского облика и кинжалы тагарского типа. Результаты спектрального и металлографического исследования металлических изделий с территории юга Дальнего Востока России указывает на развитые традиции металлообработки, не имеющие местных корней. Изучение изотопов свинца показало, что металл изделий происходит с территории Восточных Саян или из Западного Прибайкалья. Предложен вывод о том, что длительное взаимодействие групп населения, пришедших на Дальний Восток с запада и обладавших металлом, с местным населением не привело к кардинальным изменениям в технологическом развитии дальневосточных племен, несмотря на наличие богатых рудных ресурсов. The paper explores one of the understudied issues related to the spread of metal from extraction/production centers to the periphery. Metal appeared in Central Asia in III mill. BC. Subsequently, metal items penetrated the eastern regions (Trans-Baikal region, Primorye, Yakutia, Manchuria, and Korea) at the end of II - early I mill. BC. The Sayan-Altai region, Mongolia and the Trans-Baikal region are rich in metal deposits. The regions rich with metals located further to the east form part of the Pacific metallogenic belt. The paper describes imitations of metal weapons (spearheads and daggers) made from local shale rock. Three chronological groups of such replicas were singled out: items of the Seyma-Turbino type, items of the Karasuk type, and daggers of the Tagar type. The spectral and metallographic studies of metal artifacts from the southern Far East of Russia demonstrate developed traditions of metalworking that do not have local origin. In accordance with the data of lead isotope analysis, the metal the artifacts were made from, originated from the eastern Sayan Mountains or the western Baikal region. We may reasonably infer from this analysis that the population groups bringing metal had come to the Far East from the west. Yet long-term relations between them and the local population did not lead to drastic changes in the technological development of the Far East peoples despite abundance of rich ore deposits.

В статье приводится характеристика основных этапов развития экономико-географических исследований в Тихоокеанском институте географии с момента его организации. Выделено 5 этапов и представлены наиболее важные результаты экономико-географических исследований, полученных в лаборатории территориально-хозяйственных структур за 50 лет. Научные направления исследований определялись общими задачами, решаемыми Тихоокеанским институтом географии, в первую очередь это комплексные прогнозно-географические исследования разномасштабных геосистем Дальнего Востока России в контактной зоне «суша–океан». В основу выделения этапов исследований положены изменения тем научно-исследовательской работы лаборатории. Основным направлением в течение большого периода времени было изучение разноранговых территориально-хозяйственных структур Дальнего Востока, географических, в т.ч. природно-ресурсных, и геополитических факторов их развития. Изложены основные результаты, полученные сотрудниками лаборатории на разных этапах, в т.ч. теоретических и методологических исследований географического пространства и разноранговых пространственных систем, географических и геополитических факторов формирования разноранговых территориально-хозяйственных структур, в том числе трансграничных и аква-территориальных, разработки предложений для Программ устойчивого развития регионов, методов исследования производственно-природных отношений в локальных и районных территориально-производственных системах, оценки территориальных сочетаний природных ресурсов, изучения особенностей трансформации территориально-отраслевых структур, районирования территории и прибрежной акватории Дальнего Востока и т.д. Отдельные экономико-географические исследования имеют и большое практическое значение. В первую очередь, это разработанные в лаборатории предложения для Стратегий и Программ социально-экономического развития Дальнего Востока, Приморского края, агломерации Владивостока и других территорий. The article describes the main stages in the development of economic - geographical research at the Pacific Institute of Geography (now Pacific Geographical Institute) since its organization. The authors identified five such stages and presented the most important results of economic and geographical research accomplished in their laboratory of spatial-economic structures for 50 years. Scientific directions of these researches were determined by the general tasks solved by the Pacific Geographical Institute, in first turn, comprehensive forecasting and geographical research of different-scale geosystems of the Far East of Russia in the ‘land-ocean’ contact zone. The selection of the research stages was based on changes in the topics of the laboratory’s research work. For a long time its main topic was in the studies of multi-ranked territorial and economic structures of the Far East, and geographical factors of their development including natural resource and geopolitical ones. The main research activities of the laboratory staff at different stages included theoretical and methodological studies of geographic space and different-ranked spatial systems; geographical and geopolitical factors in the formation of multi-ranked territorial and economic structures, including transboundary and aqua-territorial ones; working out of proposals to the state programs of the sustainable development of regions; methods of researching the productive-natural relations in local and regional territorial-production systems; assessing the territorial combinations of natural resources; studying the features of the transformation of territorial and sectoral structures; zoning the territory and coastal waters of the Far East, etc. Separate economic and geographical studies are also of great practical importance. In first turn, there are proposals developed in the laboratory for strategies and programs of the socio-economic development of the Far East, Primorsky Kray, Vladivostok agglomeration and other territories.

The Impact

The results of studies of anthropogenic landscapes functioning with an assessment on the processes of natural self revegetation are summarized. The principles of accelerated restoration of the ecological and aesthetic value of disturbed landscapes at the permafrost zone are substantiated, based on the data obtained during studying the selfrevegetation processes on disturbed complexes. Development of placer and ore deposits of mineral resources is leading to deep transformation of landscape and to destruction of soil-vegetable complexes. The processes caused by mining-technical activity are leading to variable mechanisms of degradation of soil and vegetables often having complex impact. Results of study of sustainability of soil-vegetable complexes to the impact of mancaused activity have showed the dependence from the structure of the soil profile and it characteristic, from the character of genetic horizons, frozen status of the landscape elements, form the structure and biomass and productivity of vegetation cover.

The second part of the eleventh session of the Council of ICAO was convened in Montreal on September 27, 1950. The government of Spain dispatched a delegation to Montreal to take part in the meetings and arrange for that government's entry into the International Civil Aviation Organization. The agenda included: 1) appointment of members to serve on the Air Navigation Commission, Air Transport Committee, the Committee on Joint Support of Air Navigation Services, and the Finance Committee; 2) the proposals of the Secretary-General, Dr. Albert Roper, for reorganization of the secretariat and the question of his successor for 1951; 3) the site for a permanent office for the far east and the Pacific; 4) schedules for meetings of the subordinate bodies of the organization for 1952; and 5) a preliminary scale of contributions for 1952. The work of the Air Navigation Commission was surveyed in the report of the commission on 1) “differences” from ICAO standards, 2) sites for AIR, OPS and COM division meetings, and 3) necessary changes in abbreviations and symbols. Special attention was given to the formulation of ICAO's position on charges for airline operated agency messages carried over the aeronautical network and a study of this problem was to be undertaken in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union. The Council also was to discuss the communication to the Universal Postal Union on air mail charges upon which the member governments had made comments.

At the turn of the nineteenth century, modern insurance started to spread from the British Isles around the world. Outside Europe and the European offshoots in North and South America, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, it began to compete with other forms of risk management and often met with stiff opposition on religious and cultural grounds. Insurance arrived in Southeast Asia via British merchants living in India and Canton rather than through agencies of European firms. While the early agency houses in Bengal collapsed in the credit crisis of 1829–1834, the firms established by opium traders residing in Macau and Hong Kong, and advised by insurance experts in London, went on to form the foundations of the insurance industry in the Far East. Until the early twentieth century, they sought to use the techniques of risk management that they had developed in Europe to win Europeans and Americans living in Southeast Asia as clients, along with members of the local population familiar with Western culture.
