In 2015, the network of Azerbaijan seismic stations included 35 digital stations, which continued to operate unchanged. The set of parameters determined for estimating the earthquake magnitude has decreased – determination of the MPVA magnitude and КР energy class has ceased. Only the local magnitude MLАзр was measured. The total number of earthquakes recorded by the Azerbaijan network of stations in 2015 amounted to 6419, however, only 128 of them with MLАзр3.0 are given in the catalogue of earthquakes of Azerbaijan published in the Appendix to this article. Seismic activity in the study area remained unchanged. The released seismic energy changed insignificantly compared to its value in 2014 and was close to the background level for the period 1993–2014. The increase in the number of earthquakes of the representative level (K≥8.6, MLАзр≥2.8) in comparison with the long-term average annual value is due to aftershocks of earthquakes on January 26 with MLАзр=4.9, June 3 with MLАзр=4.6, and September 4 with MLАзр=5.9. The 2015 most significant seismic event on the territory of the Republic was the earthquake on September 4 with MLАзр=5.9 and seismic intensity at the epicenter of I0=7.

In 2014, a network of 35 digital seismic stations of Azerbaijan continued to operate unchanged, while significant changes occurred in the work of analog stations – they were completely stopped in May 2014. The set of parameters determined for estimation of the earthquake magnitude decreased – determination of MPVA magnitude and KP energy class ceased. Only the local magnitude ML Azr is measured, which is converted then into energy class K. The total number of earthquakes recorded by Azerbaijan network of seismic stations amounted to 5754, but the Azerbaijan earthquake catalog published in the Appendix to this article contains 135 of them with ML Azr3.0 only. An increase in seismic activity in the study area was noted. This is expressed in increase in 2014 of number of representative earthquakes (K≥9) compared with both their number in 2013 and the average annual value for 1993–2013. The seismic energy released in 2014, after its reduced values in 2013, approached the background level. In 2014, the most significant seismic event on the territory of the Republic was the February 10 earthquake with ML Azr=5.7 and intensity in the epicenter of I0=6.

In 2013, four digital stations («Horadiz», «Agdam», «Beylagan», «Yardimli») were opened. The complete network consisted of 35 digital stations. The network of analog stations continued to operate unchanged. In 2013, the set of parameters for estimating the earthquake size decreased – determining the magnitudes MPVA and the energy classes КР was stopped. Only the local magnitude ML Азр is measured and then recalculated into energy class КР. The seismicity of the territory of Azerbaijan is analyzed. Maps of epicenters of earth-quakes are given. The total number of earthquakes in 2013 was 5248 with ML Азр>0.1, of which only 165 with ML Азр3.0 are published in the Yearbook. A decrease in the seismic activity of the studied territory was noted. Powerful seismic activity, observed in 2012, was replaced in 2013 by a decrease in seismicity to the background level. The most significant seismic event on the territory of the Republic was the April 18 earth-quake with ML Азр=5.3 with macroseismic effect I0=4.

Iron (Fe) is one of many heavy metals that is corrosive resistant, dense, and has a low melting point. If accumulated in the body, the metal can cause some medical conditions, such as irritation to skin and eyes, breathing problems, and in the long term, cancer. This research aims to know generally the spread of metallic iron (Fe) in the river Pasar in Belangwetan, Klaten. This study was conducted using an observational method in which researchers did not examine the effects of interventions. Sampling was done using purposive sampling method taken from three points, namely the upper, middle, lower. Determination of iron levels by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) obtained a positive result, and the data was processed using SPSS to determine the Mean and Standard Deviation. Of the research result, it could be known the Mean score was 2.33 ppm and SD was 0.0352. The result of this research indicated that the levels of iron in the river Pasar in Belangwetan were 2.33 ppm. It means that the levels violate the regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, which is not more than 1mg/L (1ppm) in the clean water

The copper ore deposit situated in the south-west of Poland is mined by three underground mines owned by KGHM Polish Copper JSC. Exploitation has been accompanied by rock burst hazard since the beginning. Thus, numerous different preventing measures have been developed such as temporary, organizational and long-term ones. However, no one has been able to predict the time, place and energy of a seismic event. The group winning blasting, with maximum number of blasted faces, is the most effective operation to reduce seismic threat. The more faces are blasted the more seismic energy should be reduced. The study aims at assessing the blasting effectiveness in inducing rock bursts and tremors. For this purpose, the seismic activity induced by mining and blasting were investigated. The number of blasting works and blasted faces as well as length of time between subsequent blasting works were analysed and related to provocation effectiveness. The linear correlation and different regressions were calculated to determine these relations. Moreover, the seismic energy reduction in the rock mass was evaluated by means of SRMS Index, which is a factor measured directly before and after blasting. The analyses covered one mine panel in the Polkowice-Sieroszowice copper mine over four-year period.

The nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria addressed a number of official demands to the Ministry of Health, one of them was to work out a long-term strategy for the development of standards, including detailed minimal requirements for the number of staff for both hospital, and outpatient care. Objectives: The goal of the current report is a summary of the regulatory documents, concerning the number of nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria, in context of the global practices. Methods: Current medical standards in the Republic of Bulgaria are being taken into account, and methods for determining the number of nurses in other countries. Results: In the period between November and December 2020, within the public consultations for projects of different Regulations for approval of medical standards, the proposed and developed methods by the Bulgarian association of health professionals in nursing to be included in the standards, which concern calculating the necessary staff of nurses, was not admitted for inclusion in any of those standards. Conclusions: Until now, the number of active nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria in all active medical standards is calculated either on the basis of doctors (not patients), or it’s pointed out that the methods of calculating the sufficient number of nurses may be applied. It should be noted that the International Council of Nurses, actually does not recommend universal methods for all countries worldwide.

The annual review of seismicity of Amur and Primorye based on the data of permanent seismic stations of Sakhalin branch GS RAS and the data of other Russian and foreign seismological agencies for 2014 is made. A detailed description of the seismic situation in different areas of the region is given. For the first time the Sikhote-Alin area (№5), where an earthquake of intensity I0=5 occurred, has dominated by terms of the released seismic energy level. Three tangible earthquakes were recorded in the region during the year. The most significant of them (Imax=5) earthquake occurred on April 12 at 21h22m east of Lake Khanka, in the ter-ritory of Primorye. Previously this territory was in the state of a seismic calm. A comparative analysis of the seismic situation in 2014 with the data of long-term observations is carried out. In 2014 the seismic energy of crustal earthquakes released in the region was one of the lowest for the past 15 years (2000–2014), except for 2006. The level of deep focus seismicity in 2014 also has low indicators. According to the methodology for assessing the level of seismic activity, the SOUS*09 scale, in 2014 the territory of Amur and Primorye is characterized by a lower background level of seismic activity.

Toxocariasis is a widespread socially significant zoonotic helminthiasis. Infestation with human toxocariasis occurs through the ingestion of infected Toxocara eggs, which mainly accumulate in the soil. The aim of our study was long-term sanitaryparasitological and immunological observations of toxocariasis in a number of territories in southern Russia. For sanitary and parasitological analysis of soil from 2002 to 2019 in the territory of the Rostov region and the Republic of Adygea, 1664 samples were taken and examined. Determination of indicators of contamination of soil samples with eggs of helminths and invasiveness of Toxocara spp. carried out using the methods outlined in 4.2.2661-10 "Methods of sanitary and parasitological research". During the same period of time, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of 6831 blood serum of a conventionally healthy population of the Rostov region and the Republic of Adygea was carried out using the diagnostic test systems "Toksokara-IgG-IFA-BEST". According to the results of ELISA, high seroprevalence values were obtained, indicating the frequency of contact of the population with the causative agent of toxocariasis and indicating a possibly higher incidence rate than the officially registered one. The results of the conducted sanitary and parasitological studies, which showed a consistently high degree of contamination of the soils of the studied territories of southern Russia, indicate the continuing risk of infection of the population and animals with toxocariasis.

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.
