In 2015, the seismic monitoring in Kazakhstan was conducted by two Organizations: Seismological Experience-Methodical Expedition of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SEME), and the Republican State Enterprise Institute of Geophysical Research of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IGR). The paper presents detailed information on seismic observation networks. The joint catalogue based on the data of two organizations was compiled. It includes 489 earthquakes having energy class KR=6.6–12.2. The largest earthquake occurred on January 20, 2015 near the Semipalatinsk Test Site. The earthquake had magnitude MPVA=5.3, energy class KR=12.2, and was felt in a range of Kazakhstan settlements.

The article presents the detailed information on seismic observation networks and catalogue of seismic events in Kazakhstan for 2014 made by data of two organizations - Seismological Experience-Methodical expedition of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SEME), and the Institute of Geophysical Research of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IGR). The catalogue includes 559 earthquakes with energy class КР=6.6–13.6. The largest earthquake of the year occurred on November 14, 2014 at the southern side of the Issyk-Kul Lake, near Kadzhysay settlement. The earthquake magnitude was MPVA=6.2, energy class КР=13.6. The most interesting was the earthquake occurred at aseismic region of Central Kazakhstan near Karaganda on June 21, 2014. The earthquake was recorded by the seismic stations of Kazakhstan and the world (MPVA=5.2, КР=11.7), it was felt in many settlements. The authors suppose that this earthquake is a natural-induced event.

The work presents the results of data analysis of the earthquake on January 20, 2015, mb=5.6 occurred at the low-active region of Eastern Kazakhstan near the border of the former Semipalatinsk Test Site. The work briefly describes the seismicity of the Semipalatinsk Test Site related to aseismic regions according to the acting map of general seismic zoning. The earthquake was recorded by permanent seismic stations of the Institute of Geophysical Research of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan and by two strong-motion accelerometers. The earthquake was felt at distances up to 300 km from the epicentre, its maximum intensity was noted at Medeu settlement where the shaking intensity was 56 by the MSK-64 scale. The earthquake focal mechanism is shown, the parameters of seismic effects and response spectra are calculated.

In 2013, seismic monitoring in Kazakhstan was conducted by two organizations: the Seismological Experience-Methodical expedition of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SEME), and the Institute of Geophysical Research of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IGR). The station network consists of three-component stations and seismic arrays. The work presents detailed information on seismic observation networks. The catalogue of seismic events of Kazakhstan is made by da-ta of above mentioned Organizations. It includes 1036 earthquakes with energy class КР=6.6–14.7. The catalog contains several additional sheets with Attachments: Microseismic data on felt earthquakes, parameters of focal mechanisms of 55 earthquakes, information on coordinates of 29 urban areas with felt shakes, parameters of 1123 aftershocks, and two forshocks of Saryzhas (Narynkol) earthquake in the range of energy classes КР=4.5–11.8. Two maps of earthquake epicenters are shown in the paper: for the whole Kazakhstan territory with КР≥8.6 and for Northern Tien Shan territory with КР≥6.6. The largest earthquake of the year was the Saryzhas earthquake that occurred in Northern Tien Shan on January 28, MS=6.0, КР=14.7. The earthquake was felt on the territory of Kazakhstan and China and was followed by numerous aftershocks. For the first day, only its number exceeded 500. It was noted that the total released seismic energy in 2013 exceeded significantly the same parameter of 2012.

The results of the study of ecological and geochemical features and assessment of the water quality of water sources located on the territory of the Semipalatinsk test site are presented. The studied waters are diverse in chemical composition: 14 % of the samples had hydrocarbonate, 69 % – sulfate, and 17 % – chloride types of waters. On the basis of the revealed features of the elemental composition of the underground waters of the Semipalatinsk test site, decreasing series of excess of the average concentrations of elements in water in relation to the composition of waters of the zones of hypergenesis and continental salinization were constructed: U14 > Mo8 > Sr8 > V3 (hypergenesis zone), U5 > Mo3 > Sr3 > V2 (zone of continental salinization). For the groundwater of the Semipalatinsk test site, specific elements were identified, such as U, Mo, Sr and V. The water quality was assessed for the studied chemical components based on comparison with the standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the World Health Organization (SaNPiN No. 209, WHO 2011).

Рассмотрено развитие сейсмологических наблюдений на территории Республики Северная Осетия-Алания. Создание локальных сетей сейсмических наблюдений является составной частью комплексных геофизических наблюдений в регионе и позволяет разработать геолого-геофизических аспекты устойчивого развития горных территорий, исследовать напряженно-деформированное состояние горного массива при технологическом вмешательств и, наконец, исследовать опасные эндогенные и экзогенные процессы и сопутствующие им опасные геологические явления. The article considers the development of seismological observations on the territory of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Creation of local seismic observation networks is a component part of complex geophysical observations in the region and it allows developing geologic-geophysical aspects of sustainable development of mountain territories it also allows investigating strain-stress massif condition under anthropogenic impact and, finally, it allows investigating hazardous endogenous and exogenous processes and accompanied geological phenomena.

Abstract Introduction Bedtime Procrastination (BP) is defined as the behavior of voluntarily delaying going to bed, without having external reasons for doing so. Recent research on procrastination behavior suggests that when negative emotions are elevated, procrastination behaviors can be triggered in order to find pleasure to avoid and alleviate them. Procrastination can also occur when there is difficulty regulating emotions. In addition, the reason for bedtime procrastination may be different depending on whether the individuals present with insomnia. According to previous studies, patients with insomnia may exhibit more pronounced negative avoidance of bedtime due to prolonged sleeplessness. Therefore, this study compared the difference between of the bedtime procrastination and the emotional regulation strategies between the insomnia group and the healthy group. Methods This study was conducted in 582 adults (mean age 23.06 ±2.16 years), 81.6% females. Individuals scoring higher than 15 on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were classified into the insomnia group (n=375), and those less than 15 were classified into the healthy group (n=207). Participants completed the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS), Emotional Regulation Strategies Checklist. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi square test, and independent t tests. Results The insomnia group had significantly higher bedtime procrastination scores than the healthy group (t=-6.241, p<.001), and also the avoidant/distractive regulation style score was significantly higher (t=-1.969, p<.05). In addition, the score of active regulation style was significantly lower in the insomnia group than in the healthy group (t=3.050, p<.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the support-seeking regulation style. Conclusion Based on these results, it was confirmed that there was a difference in the bedtime procrastination and the emotional regulation strategies between the insomnia group and the healthy group.
