The seismic monitoring system consisting of seven digital stations continued to operate in Tajikistan in 2015. This network has registered 9071 earthquakes with KR=8.6–17.0, 6427 of which were Pamir-Hindu Kush earthquakes with intermediate depths (h=70–300 km), and 2644 were shallow events. The total seismic energy released was E=1.8151017 J. The strongest for 2015 was the Hindu Kush earthquake on Octo-ber 26 with Mw=7.5, h=230 km (hpP=217 km) that occurred near the southern borders of the Republic. This earthquake caused significant damage and the death of at least 115 people. It was felt on the territory of 14 states, with a total shaking area of more than 14106 km2. A detailed isoseismal map of this earthquake is given for the Tajikistan territory only. The earthquake was accompanied by a series of over 1400 aftershocks with KR=8.6–12.8, unexpectedly numerous for a deep earthquake. Within the borders of the Republic, the Sarez-II earthquake occurred near the Lake of Sarez on December 7 with Mw=7.2, h=20 km, I0=8, was the strongest one. Undoubtedly, it was triggered by the Hindu Kush earthquake on October 26. In total, more than 500 houses were damaged, dozens of people were injured, and there were human casualties. A detailed isoseismal map of this earthquake was made for four levels of intensity – I=7, 6, 5 and 4. The number of its aftershocks for 24 days only was 1342, with KR=8.6–13.9. As a result the level of seismicity in Tajikistan in 2015, both in terms of the number of earthquakes and the level of released seismic energy, was the highest during the period of instrumental observations.

In 2014, a seismic monitoring system, restored with the participation of the Swiss government, continued to operate in Tajikistan. Seven digital stations Trident+Trillium-40 devices, provide registration of events located in Tajikistan and hundreds of kilometers beyond. This network recorded 5306 earthquakes with КР=8.6–14.5, of which 4308 are deep-focus Pamir-Hindu Kush earthquakes with h=70–270 km and 998 are shal-low, scattered throughout the territory. The total seismic energy released in the sources of all earthquakes amounted to Е~6.61014 J. Within the borders of the Republic, the most powerful earthquake (with КР=13.3) was on September 13. The earthquake located in the southern spurs of the RushanRange at the end of the system of dual Karakul-Sarez faults dividing the Pamirs into Western and Eastern parts. It was felt with an intensity of Ii=4–5 in Khorog and Roshtkal, Ii=4in Rushan and on the lake Sarez. Shocks with Ii=4–5 from the November 1 earthquake with KP=12.1 were also felt in Rogun, at the site of Rogun hydropower plant under construction. The maximum deepest earthquake (КР=14.5, Mw=5.4, h=200 km) occurred on June 14 in the Afghan subzone. Due to the great depth, the area of its perceptibility Ii=3 amounted to 220 thousand km2 in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. However,in general the seismic process in the Republic proceeded in the background.

The catalog of Tajikistan earthquakes for 2013 contains 4997 earthquakes with КР=8.6–15.0, of which 3865 are deep-focus Pamir-Hindu Kush earthquakes with h=70–250 km and 1132 – shallow earthquakes scattered throughout the territory. The total seismic energy released in the foci of all earthquakes amounted to Е=1.461015 Joules. Immediately within the borders of the Republic the largest perceptible (КР=12.4, Mw=4.7, I0=6) was the earthquake on November 10 in the Wakhdat region. The largest among deep earth-quakes in 2013 occurred in the Afghan subzone on April 4 with КР=14.0, Mw=5.4, h=250 km. Due to a big depth, it caused shocks of low intensity (I3) in the epicentral zone but was felt in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan. However, in general, the seismic process in the Republic proceeded in the background regime.

In the Republic of Moldova, the main factor contributing to the floods is the torrential rains from the warm semester of the year, which create favorable conditions for triggering strong, sometimes catastrophic floods in the rivers of the republic, especially in the smaller ones. During the study period, 40 floods with significant damage were recorded in the country, with an annual frequency ranging from 0 to 12 cases. In the administrativeterritorial profile, the damages caused by the aforementioned floods varied greatly. Based on the statistical data, a digital map was developed reflecting the degree of exposure of the territory of the Republic of Moldova in the administrative-territorial aspect to the mentioned risk, expressed by the value of the damages caused. In order to reduce the impact caused by the flood floods, measures have been developed to prevent, reduce and combat the negative effects of that risk.

The retrospective epidemiological study was carried out concerning infections related to medical care support registered in population on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2002-2015. The reason of such a study was because of late identification and registration of infections related to medical care support, significant damage to population health, development of complications in significant percentage of hospitalized patients and necessity of investigation of patterns of development and outspread of nosocomial infections. The epidemiological analysis was implemented using report form of the Federal statistical observation № 2 of the Federal service of control of sector of defense of rights of consumers and human well-being “The data of infectious and parasitic infections”. The dynamics, structure of many years morbidity and main parameters of manifestation of epidemic process were investigated. The derived data was used as a basis to provide epidemiological characteristic of many years' dynamics of various classes of infections related to medical care support. The indices of morbidity are calculated with consideration for average annual population size. The priority nosologic forms of infections related to medical care support were established concerning newborns (pyodermatitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, omphalitis, sepsis, etc.), puerpera (pyo-septic infections, mastitis, sepsis), adult population (postoperative and post-injection complications, infections of urinary tracts, nosocomial pneumonia, viral hepatitis, etc.) which dynamics was characterized by positive and negative rate of increment of indicator. The obtained data was compared with indices represented in national and foreign publications. The implemented study testifies the necessity of development of measures epidemiological monitoring of decreasing of morbidity because of infections related to medical care support in medical organizations.

This paper shall review of the development of environmental criminal – legal protection in the Republic of Latvia. One of the most complicated valuation terms in Criminal law is essential harm. The adverse effects of marking, used assessment concept – "essential harm" to the Criminal Law Section 11, provisions are included as a criminal offense frame sign. Valuation concept „essential harm” or “significant damage” is widely used. Material injury is one of the mandatory features of the objective of acriminal offence defining the legal classification of the offence and, inany particular case, to assess the nature and consequences of thedamage in relation to the interests laid down by the law. In all cases, regulation is not specified. Significant damage and other interests protected by law in nature and severity to determine the natural environment, human health can be an expert evaluation. In deciding the question of material injury, which is especially qualifying characteristic of the Criminal Law Article 109, followed to the Special Law Annex 1 "Criteria for the detectable threat or significant risk to the law protected the interests of the forest environment conservation." With regard to essential harm the forest environment, evaluation is embedded in the law and are applied in practice.

Abstract. Rockfalls are common instabilities in alpine areas and can cause significant damage. Since high mountains have been affected by an increasing number of these phenomena in the last years, a possible correlation with permafrost degradation induced by climate change has been hypothesized. To investigate this topic, a monitoring system, made of 5 triaxial geophones and 1 thermometer, was installed in 2007 at the Carrel hut (3829 m a.s.l., Matterhorn, North-western Alps), in the frame of the Interreg IIIA Alcotra project n. 196 "Permadataroc". The preliminary data processing relates to the classification of recorded signals, the identification of the significant microseismic events and the analysis of their distribution in time and space. The first results indicated a possible correlation between clusters of events and temperature trend, and a concentration of events in specific sectors of the rock mass. Research is still in progress. The recording of data for a longer period is planned to fully understand seasonal trends and spatial distribution of microseismic activity, and possible relations with permafrost degradation. Nevertheless, the preliminary observations prove that the monitoring system can detect noises generated by rock slope deformation. Once fully developed, this technique could become a helpful tool for early warning and preliminary stability assessments.

The Impact

In recent decades in the world, and in the Republic of Belarus in particular, the question of the impact of weather conditions on the development of sectors of the economy and life of the population has become acute. The sudden changes in weather conditions can lead to adverse and dangerous weather phenomena that cause significant damage to the country’s economy. This paper examines the frequency of dangerous weather phenomena in cyclones of different trajectories that moved through the territory of the Republic of Belarus during the period of 1995–2015. It is identified that southern and western cyclones caused dangerous weather events over the territory of Belarus. The interannual and seasonal frequency of cyclones causing dangerous weather phenomena in Belarus was analyzed. It is shown that the largest number of southern and western cyclones was characteristic mainly for the summer period, as well as the transitional seasons of the year, therefore the dangerous weather phenomena were associated mainly with the development of severe convection on atmospheric fronts. Such phenomena as very heavy rain, snowfall and wind had the highest frequency in cyclones, as in southern as western trajectories. The share of strong sticking of wet snow and large hail were isolated cases and these phenomena were recorded locally over the territory of country.

The analysis of the studying of the problem of identifying and evaluating of typical and rare landscapes was carried out, which showed that quite a lot of knowledge has been accumulated in this area of the identification of such landscapes and the criteria for their assessment. It is established that insufficient attention is paid to the classification and mapping of landscapes, the use of mathematical methods for their assessment. A scientific concept is proposed for the study of typical and rare landscapes, which contains four levels of their study (country, regional, subregional, local), the scale of work corresponding to the level, landscape classification units, criteria and indicators for their allocation are determined. So, at the country level, the criterion for assessing typical landscapes is the degree of representativeness, depending on bioclimatic factors and the large size of the landscape contour, at the regional (provincial) – the contour size of the dominant landscapes of the province and the index of landscape diversity, at the subregional – the intensity of anthropogenic transformation, at the local – characteristic value of attractiveness. The main criteria for assessing rare landscapes at the country level are the small size of the contour and the criteria of uniqueness, at the regional (provincial) indicator of occurrence, at the subregional – naturalness, at local – vulnerability. A geographic information database has been created, a methodology has been developed for identifying typical and rare landscapes and their typology. An assessment of landscape diversity was made and the map showing that typical landscapes are characterised by a high and medium level of diversity, and rare landscapes are characterised by medium and low was created. An assessment of the occurrence of rare landscapes was carried out, which made it possible to distinguish three groups – low, medium, and high occurrence; their list and a map of occurrence were created. It has been determined that unique landscapes, which are part of a group with low occurrence, require special protection. A direct correlation has been established between the level of landscape diversity and occurrence. The proposed criteria for identifying and assessing typical and rare landscapes can be used in organising or transforming nature protected areas, in the design of their passports and conservation obligations.
