Leaflets still remain unexplored resource in local lore. Distribution of sheet material as a printed advertising in different regions of Russia opens new pages of informational local lore. The history of local printed collections keeps names of few figures and projects connected with forming of “flying sheets” funds. The involvement of national libraries into this process allows for experts to predict the importance of ephemerae catalogues for the system of union library catalogues in our country.

We found and genetically described two novel SARS-like coronaviruses in feces and oral swabs of the greater (R. ferrumequinum) and the lesser (R. hipposideros) horseshoe bats in southern regions of Russia. The viruses, named Khosta-1 and Khosta-2, together with related viruses from Bulgaria and Kenya, form a separate phylogenetic lineage. We found evidence of recombination events in the evolutionary history of Khosta-1, which involved the acquisition of the structural proteins S, E, and M, as well as the nonstructural genes ORF3, ORF6, ORF7a, and ORF7b, from a virus that is related to the Kenyan isolate BtKY72. The examination of bats by RT-PCR revealed that 62.5% of the greater horseshoe bats in one of the caves were positive for Khosta-1 virus, while its overall prevalence was 14%. The prevalence of Khosta-2 was 1.75%. Our results show that SARS-like coronaviruses circulate in horseshoe bats in the region, and we provide new data on their genetic diversity.

This paper examines the history of statistical publishing by governments, looks at other kinds of government publishing, and provides brief case studies of the collecting of government documents by libraries in Europe and the United States. These are revealing of attitudes toward government documents and in some cases show a relationship between government-document collecting and the goals of the library. The author argues that collecting and disseminating statistical information was a conscious decision made by governments on the grounds that information would lead to public support. It is arguable that the budget increases for national libraries in Britain and France, which occurred as well in the 1830s, derived from the value those governments placed on disseminating information. A connection in one era between library support and what is considered to be knowledge and the value placed on it suggests a way of looking at libraries in other periods. Indeed, for all libraries, policies and practices in collecting government documents may be indicative of a library's goals.

Приведен обзор сейсмичности Северной Евразии в 2013 г., включающей 15 регионов России и сопредельных стран. На указанной территории действовало 581 стационарная сейсмическая станция, из них 529 цифровых, 52 аналоговых и 8 сейсмических групп. Кроме того, в ряде регионов работали временные станции. Данными сетями зарегистрировано свыше 28 тыс. тектонических и около 6 тыс. вулканических землетрясений, для которых определены и опубликованы основные параметры. Для 595 землетрясений определены механизмы очагов. Согласно собранным в рамках ежегодника данным, в 2013 г. на территории Северной Евразии ощущались 506 землетрясений, о которых поступило более 1500 сообщений из более чем 934 населенных пунктов. Некоторые населенные пункты в течение года испытывали сотрясения несколько раз. Восемнадцать землетрясений были обследованы, результаты для большинства из них описаны в отдельных статьях данного выпуска Ежегодника, вместе с данными о механизмах очагов, предшествующей сейсмичности, особенностях афтершокового процесса и с привлечением элементов сейсмотектоники очаговых зон. В обзоре дан сравнительный анализ характеристик сейсмичности по всем 15 регионам. Сильнейшее в 2013 г. Охотоморское-III землетрясение 24 мая 2013 г. с Mw=8.3, произошедшее под акваторией Охотского моря на глубине h=630 км, явилось и крупнейшим за всю историю сейсмологических наблюдений среди мантийных землетрясений. Оно имело огромную площадь макросейсмического воздействия, но при этом из-за большой глубины нигде не вызвало разрушений. A review of the seismicity of Northern Eurasia in 2013, which includes 15 regions of Russia and neighboring countries, is presented. 581 stationary seismic stations operated in the territory, of which 529 digital, 52 analog stations and 8 seismic groups. In addition, temporary stations operated in some regions. These networks recorded over 28 thousand tectonic and about 6 thousand volcanic earthquakes, for which the main parameters were determined and published. Focal mechanisms have been determined for 595 earthquakes. According to the data collected as part of the yearbook, 506 earthquakes were felt in Northern Eurasia in 2013, of which more than 1500 messages were received from more than 934 settlements. Some settlements experienced shocks several times during the year. Eighteen earthquakes were inspected, the results for most of them are described in separate articles of this issue of the yearbook, together with data on the focal mechanisms, previous seismicity, features of the aftershock process and involving elements of seismic tectonics of focal zones. The review provides a comparative analysis of seismicity characteristics for all 15 regions. The strongest in 2013, the Okhotsk-III earthquake on May 24, 2013 with Mw=8.3 occurred under the Sea of Okhotsk with h=630 km, was also the largest in the history of seismological observations among mantle earthquakes. It had a huge area of macroseismic impact, while due to the great depth it did not cause destruction anywhere.

Jika melihat dari jenisnya, ada beberapa jenis perpustakaan, antara lain perpustakaan sekolah, perpustakaan universitas, perpustakaan pribadi, perpustakaan nasional, dsb. Perpustakaan sekolah menyajikan produk terkait dengan pendidikan sekolah dasar sampai SMA, perpustakaan universitas menyajikan produk yang terkait dengan pendidikan di bangku kuliah, perpustakaan pribadi menyajikan bahan bacaan yang disukai yang mencerminkan kepribadiannya, sedangkan perpustakaan nasional seharusnya menyajikan produk-produk yang mencerminkan negara tersebut. Sejarah sebuah bangsa yang besar akan bisa dilestarikan dari generasi ke generasi melalui perpustakaan nasional. Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara yang memiliki indegenous knowledge (kearifan lokal) serta kekayaan budaya yang besar dan tersebar dari sabang sampai merauke. Selayaknya kearifan lokal serta kekayaan budaya yang dimiliki tersebut dapat dikoleksi di- dalam sebuah perpustakaan. Melalui perkembangan teknologi informasi, pengembangan perpustakaan menjadi sebuah jawaban agar koleksi kearifan lokal dan kekayaan budaya tersebut dapat diakses oleh bangsa Indonesia dari sabang sampai merauke dengan harapan mampu memperkuat serta mempertahankan identitas nasional Indonesia. Namun sejalan dengan pengaruh globalisasi dan kemajuan teknologi,semakin terindikasi adanya ancaman terhadap lunturnya kearifan lokal dikalangan generasi penerus. Oleh karena itu,dibutuhkan manifestasi baru agar perpustakaan nasional menjadi hal yang menarik untuk diakses dan ditelusuri oleh generasi muda penerus bangsa, agar identitas nasional tetap dapat dipertahankan. Salah satunya adalah dengan mengembangkan perpustakaan melalui teknologi yang akan memberikan pengalaman yang lebih menarik terhadap “petualangan pemustaka” ketika menelusur sebuah perpustakaan.If you look at the type, there are several types of libraries, including school libraries, university libraries, private libraries, national libraries, etc. School libraries present products related to elementary to senior high school education, university libraries provide products related to college education, private libraries provide the preferred reading material that reflects their personality, while the national library should present products that reflect the country. The history of a great nation will be preserved from generation to generation through the national library. Indonesia is known as a country that has indegenous knowledge and great cultural wealth and spread from Sabang to Merauke. Just as well as indegenous knowledge and cultural wealth owned can be collected in a library. Through the development of information technology, library development becomes an answer so that the collection of indegenous knowledge and cultural wealth can be accessed by the Indonesian nation from Sabang to Merauke in the hope of strengthening and maintaining Indonesia’s national identity. But in line with the influence of globalization and technological progress, the more indication of threats to the dissolution of indegenous knowledge among the next generation. Therefore, a new manifestation is needed to make the national library interesting to be accessed and traced by the younger generation of the nation, so that the national identity can be maintained. One way is to develop libraries through technology that will provide a more interesting experience with “ readers adventures” when searching for a library

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern processes of interregional cooperation in the Far East in the context of regionalization. The analysis was based on Russian-Chinese interregional interaction. Based on the theory of new regionalism, the contemporary role of regions in the 21st century was determined. The Russian foreign policy strategy “Turn to the East”, outlined in 2014, has established new prospects for interaction between Russian and Chinese regions in the Far East. An analysis of the work of Russian and Chinese scientists, plans, programs for maintaining Russian-Chinese cooperation, annual reports of departments, committees for international cooperation under the administrations of the Russian regions allows us to highlight the general trade, economic, economic, socio-cultural and scientific-technical problems of interregional cooperation. The main ones include: spontaneity and randomness of interaction between the regions of Russia and China in the last decade of the twentieth century; mutual trust in Russian-Chinese interregional relations; imbalances in the development of transport and logistics infrastructure of the Northeast of China and the Far East of Russia; problems of sectoral complementarity of the border regions of Russia and China.

Beginning in the late 1920s, the central driving force responsible for the preparation of specialists for work in the Northern, Siberian, and Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation has been the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, St. Petersburg (Herzen University), primarily led by the Institute of the Peoples of the North. Here, linguists are trained in twenty-three languages of Northern indigenous minorities. Notably, several languages of these minority groups—such as Nganasan, Dolgan, Itelmen, Enets, Ul’ta—are taught only here. The university also provides training in the field of traditional cultures of indigenous peoples (methods of traditional applied arts and crafts of the peoples of the North; dance and musical folklore; museology, etc.). However, not all experts in Northern studies are aware of the educational programs and scientific schools within the Department of Theory and History of Culture at Herzen University, under which the committee for the defense of doctoral and candidate dissertations has been working jointly with the Institute of the Peoples of the North for thirty years. The chairman of the council, doctor of arts, Professor L. M. Mosolova is the founder of the department and the head of the scientific school for the study of the culture of the regions of Russia, the countries of Northern Europe, and Eurasia. A significant amount of research completed by students—from undergraduate to postgraduate levels—is dedicated to the history and current issues of the various regions of Russia, including Siberia, the Far East, and Northern Europe.
