The distribution of American and European minks is analyzed to demonstrate the principle of choosing an optimal method for analyzing the environmental characteristics that determine the distribution of species and for mapping and estimating the quality of habitats and the probability of track detection. Outlooks and some problems of implementation of the proposed approach are discussed.

  • Viral Tragedy in the Islamic Republic of Iran By-Apurbaa Sengupta, Research Intern, AIDIA 1 August 2020
    Viral tragedy in the Islamic Republic of Iran By-Apurbaa Sengupta, Research Intern, AIDIA 1 August 2020 Introduction: The spread of a virus, as fatal as the Coronavirus, constitutes an enormous threat to mankind anywhere in the world. The beginning of the new decade observed the entire world plunge into an extraordinary global public health crisis, the first of its kind in centuries. A respiratory disease, popularised worldwide as the Coronavirus broke out from the Huanan Seafood Market in the Chinese province of Wuhan and eventually trickled into every corner of the world1. The politically instable and disturbed region, such as the Middle East was not an exception. Within two months of the viral outbreak, the Islamic Republic of Iran acquired the second position after China, in terms of the worst affected countries and emerged as an epicentre of the epidemic2. The country which had for so long been debilitated by international sanctions and economic fallouts now wrestled to cope with a health emergency. What further exacerbated the plight of Iranians was a belated, haphazard government response to counter the looming threat and politicisation of the invisible enemy by leaders to gain political dividends. The initial outbreak of the global infection: The location of Iran is several thousand kilometres away from the original epicentre of the global infection. How then did the invisible global enemy reach the Islamic Republic? Iran reported its first confirmed case of Coronavirus on February 19, 20203. Reports from the authorities suggest that the widening outbreak began in the holy city of Qom and the authorities acknowledged the presence of the virus only after the city reported two COVID deaths.

Grau Foreign Military Studies Oce ABSTRACT In the history of warfare, ground and naval forces frequently have to cooperate. There are usually problems putting these two forces together since their missions, equipment, training, communications and mutual unfamiliarity get in the way. These problems are common during transport of ground force equipment and personnel aboard naval vessels, exacer- bated during amphibious landings and assaults and very di- cult when operating together along major rivers. This article analyzes the Soviet history of defensive river otilla combat during the rst period of the Great Patriotic War (World War II against Germany).

  • Preglacial Geomorphology of the Northern Baltic Lowland and the Valdai Hills, North-Western Russia
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, Vol. 84, 2012, pp 58–68 Preglacial geomorphology of the northern Baltic Lowland and the Valdai Hills, north-western Russia A.Y. KROTOVA-PUTINTSEVA AND V.R. VERBITSKIY A. P. Karpinsky Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI), Sredny pr. 74, 199106 Saint-Petersburg, Russia Abstract The aim of the ongoing investigation is to reconstruct the development history of preglacial (including deeply-incised) river network of the northwestern East European Platform during the Cenozoic. This paper describes the orography of the region. The results of studying the structure of modern and preglacial (pre-Quaternary) geomorphology are given. This synthesis is based on the geological information that has been acquired as a result of systematic state geological surveying and scientific investigations and also on the analysis of published materials for the study area. The hypsometric map of the pre-Quaternary surface is presented. Generalization of the above mentioned materials on a unified basis and at regional level allowed a new reconstruction of the preglacial river network in the Ilmen Lowland area, drainage from which to our opinion was to the west. Analysis of the preglacial and modern topography correlation shows that the latter, in general, is inherited. This leads to the conclusion on a quiet tectonic regime in the study area at least since the Mesozoic. Therefore, the question on the causes of deeply incised valleys requires further study. Keywords (GeoRef Thesaurus, AGI): geomorphology, topography, paleorelief, preglacial environment, drainage patterns, rivers, Cenozoic, Novgorod Region, Russian Federation Corresponding author email: [email protected] Editorial handling: Pertti Sarala 1.
