The impacts of seismicity on the landslide activity in Kyrgyzstan have been in the focus of our study since 2010 [Kalmetyeva et al., 2010]. As the study progressed [Kalmetyeva, Moldobekov, 2012, 2013; Kalmetyeva et al., 2013, 2014], the initial problem statement has been revised as follows: do earthquake influence the occurrence of land‐ slides, and, if so, what is the mechanism of this influence. This paper presents the results of detailed analysis of the distribution of earthquakes and landslides in space and time in correlation with focal mechanisms (azimuth and plunge of the principal compression stress axis) of earthquakes occurred in the Fergana basin and its mountainous frame. These are grounds to conclude that the landslide activity is mainly influenced by the response of the internal structure of the upper crust to local stresses. The mechanism of influence of strong earthquakes on the landslide activity is redistribution of local stresses, which results from partial release of regional stresses due to rupturing in the source zones of strong earthquakes. Using this concept of the landslide activity, a methodology of landslide‐hazard mapping is the goal of our future studies aimed at the following: (1) zoning of the study area with respect to the features of the internal structure of the upper crust, (2) geological, geophysical and seismological studies of the state of stresses in the study area, (3) instrumental monitoring of landslides movements in the zones that differ in the structure of the upper crust, and (4) analysis of preparation and consequences of past strong earthquakes that took place in the study area in comparison with the landslide activity.

The author, having received a male wombat alive from one of the islands in Bass’s Straits, had an opportunity of observing its habits in a domesticated state, and of examining the peculiarities of its internal formation after death, particularly the mechanism of the bones and muscles of its hind legs, which have not been described either by Geoffroy, in his account of its internal form, or by Cuvier, who has described several parts of its internal structure in his Lecons d’Anatomie Comparée . The stomach of the wombat resembles closely that of the beaver, and differs so much from that of the kanguroo, and other animals of the opossum tribe, that it forms an extraordinary peculiarity. An account of the dissection of a female wombat having been received from the late Mr. Bell, Surgeon to the Colony at New South Wales, Mr. Home has inserted Mr. Bell’s description, with remarks especially on the state of the uterus, which was double, and impregnated on each side; that on the right side was as large as a pullet’s egg. The os tincæ was filled with a thick gelatinous substance. When a longitudinal incision was made into its cavity, its coats were found lined with the same jelly, in the centre of which was an embryo wrapped up in very fine membranes, that appeared to have no connexion by vessels with either the uterus or the gelatinous matter. These facts, says Mr. Home, throw considerable light on the mode of propagation of this very curious tribe of animals. They confirm, in the most satisfactory manner, the observations contained in a former paper on the kanguroo, which required further evidence, as the specimen on which the observations were made had been sent to England preserved in spirits, and the parts had become very indistinct, from being coagulated and long kept.

An ATOVS and MERRA data archive containing temperature values at isobaric levels from 1000 to 50 hPa was formed to study the atmospheric effects observed over the foci of two strong earthquakes with magnitudes M = 7,3. The first seismic event was recorded on August 19, 1992 in the northern Tien Shan and the second on November 12, 2017 in the border areas of the Zagros folded mountain belt. According to USGS intense aftershock activity in these regions began with these seismic events. Using correlation and spectral analysis we studied the vertical profiles of temperature and pressure in a disturbed atmosphere over seismically active regions. The modified anomaly index was calculated at isobaric levels from 500 to 50 hPa and on its basis the registered temperature anomalies were investigated.

Natural Way

I want to consider some features of the position put forward by Julian Barbour in The End of Time that seem to me of particular philosophical interest. At the level of generality at which I'll be concerned with it, the view is relatively easy to describe. It can be arrived at by thinking of time as decomposing in some natural way linearly ordered atomic parts, ‘moments’, and combining an observation about the internal structure of moments with an epistemological doctrine about our access to the past. The epistemological doctrine, which I'll call ‘Presentism’, following Butterfield, is the view that our access to the past is mediated by records, or local representations, of it. The observation is that the state of the world at any moment has the structure of what Barbour calls a ‘time capsule’, which is to say that it constitutes a partial record of its past, it is pregnant with interrelated mutually consistent representations of its own history.

The Rose

This paper analyzes the rose diagrams of the directions of 439 faults of the Variscian province, 476 faults of the Caledonian province, and 603 presently active faults of Tien Shan. It is shown that more than half of the faults of the Caledonian province of Tien Shan are a result of Late Paleozoic orogenesis, which spanned its entire territory. Our data indicate that seismic events of Tien Shan have resulted in no formation of new disjunctive dislocation in many cases exhibiting displacements along Paleozoic faults.

Assessment of local seismicity caused by human engineering activity is a necessity after several earthquakes have been recorded in world practice, which destroyed a hydraulic structure, a dam and accompanied by human casualties. The Tupalang, Gissarak and Pachkamar reservoirs, operated in southern Uzbekistan, are located in the mountain system of the southern part of the Tien Shan seismogenic fault. According to the general seismic zoning, the zones where these reservoirs are located are classified as 8-9 magnitude shakes during strong earthquakes. Localisation of local earthquakes associated with the operation of these reservoirs is necessary for taking operational measures to prevent possible emergencies associated with an increase in the level of technogenic seismicity. Methods for assessing the local seismic regime were used to track the level of local seismicity. The catalogs of local earthquakes occurring in the zone of active influence of reservoirs have been compiled. The seismic activity levels and changes in the angle of inclination of the recurrence of earthquakes were determined for each object separately. The dependence of the variation in the level of local seismicity on the mode of operation of reservoirs has been revealed. Several evidence of the negative impact of large hydraulic reservoirs on the deformation and seismic state of the zones of influence of reservoirs in southern Uzbekistan have been identified.

The main goal of the article is to provide a comparative legal analysis of the historical characteristics and the current state of state protection of some foreign states. The author considers the mechanisms and the results of ensuring the security of heads of states. The main conclusion: despite the fact that each of the State Security Services of the considered states has been developed in different ways and at different speeds, most of them are currently very similar in their internal structure and functions.

This chapter sets out definition of the State to which the rule of immunity applies, which is an important element in the operation of the rules and UNCSI's treatment of this subject. In conjunction with this, the chapter discusses two (of three) aspects of the State within the context of State immunity: the external attributes of the State as a legal person by reference to international law; and the internal attributes of the State, as determined by its constitutional and domestic law, which make up its internal structure comprising its organs, departments, agencies, and representatives. Both the external and internal attributes of statehood are also the subject of the general law relating to the State as a subject of international law.
