The performed 40Ar/39Ar geochronological studies yielded the first reliable age of trachyandesites of the Mogot volcanic field (115 ± 3 Ma), which, together with the age of trachyandesites of the Bomnak volcanic field (117 ± 1 Ma), gives ground to recognize a new stage (117-115 Ma) of evolution of the Stanovoi volcanoplutonic belt superposed on the igneous and metamorphic complexes of the Dzhugdzhur-Stanovoi superterrane of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and Stanovoi structural suture. The trachyandesites of the Mogot volcanic field are similar in geochemical features to adakites. Their parental melts resulted from the transformation of Precambrian continental crust under postcollisional extension after the formation of the Mongolo-Okhotsk orogen or under sliding along the boundary between the North Asian craton and the Amur microcontinent.

A Late Cretaceous dismembered ophiolite unit in the south of Kahramanmaraş belongs to the Peri-Arabian ophiolite belt in southern Turkey. The ophiloitic rocks include, from bottom to top, metamorphic sole (plagioclase-amphibole schist and plagioclase amphibolite), mantle tectonites (serpentinized dunite and harzburgite), ultramafic cumulates (mainly websterite), mafic cumulates (olivine gabbro, gabbro, and olivine gabbronorite), and isotropic gabbros (olivine gabbronorite). The whole-rock geochemistry of the cumulates suggests that they can mainly be classified as Low-Ti ophiolite and cumulate rocks derived from an island-arc tholeiitic magma source. Chondrite-normalized REE and N-MORB-normalized multielement patterns and tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams show that fractional crystallization was important during the formation of the cumulate rocks. The presence of highly magnesian olivines (Fo_78.24-81.89), clinopyroxenes (Mg#_71.46-85.82), and orthopyroxenes (Mg#_62.63-87.18) as well as highly calcic plagioclases (An_81.88-97.40) in the mafic cumulates indicates a subduction-related tectonic environment. The geochemical, petrographical, and field data suggest that the ophiolitic rocks in the studied region formed in a suprasubduction zone environment in the southern branch of Neotethys in the Late Cretaceous.

The platinum-group minerals (PGM) in placer deposits provide important information on the types of their primary source rocks and ores and formation and alteration conditions. Different characteristics of minerals can be determined by a set of conventional and modern in situ analytical techniques (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA)). A study of PGM from placers of southern Siberia (Kuznetsk Alatau, Gornaya Shoria, and Salair Ridge) shows that the morphology and composition of PGM grains, the texture, morphology, and composition of silicate, oxide, and intermetallic microinclusions, and the type of mineral alteration can serve as efficient indicators of the primary sources of PGM. The widespread rock associations in the Kuznetsk Alatau, Gornaya Shoria, and Salair Ridge, the compositions of PGM and microinclusions in them, and the dominant mineral assemblages testify to several possible primary sources of PGE mineralization: (1) Uralian-Alaskan-type intrusions; (2) ophiolite associations, including those formed in a subduction zone; (3) ultramafic alkaline massifs; and, probably, (4) rocks of the picrite-basalt association. The preservation of poorly rounded and unrounded PGM grains in many of the studied placers of the Altai-Sayan Folded Area (ASFA) suggests a short transport from their primary source.

Three-dimensional inversion of magnetotelluric fields made by 3D block modeling of magnetotelluric (MT) fields of geoelectric models permitted construction of alternative models fitting real MT data. Based on their analysis, highly conductive zones have been identified at different depths of the crust. Their correct interpretation requires the use of reliable gravity, temperature, and seismic data. Sensitivity analysis of 3D MT model curves with respect to conductive crustal blocks has shown that it is advisable to use the maximum curves of the phase tensor to estimate the electrical conductivity of the crustal and mantle parts of the section. The information value of these curves is close to that of the maximum induction curve on mapping conductive blocks in the upper and middle crust. It is also shown that the real Wiese-Parkinson vectors provide high resolution on estimating the excess integralted conductivity of the crustal blocks. Therefore, magnetovariational sounding in the Northern Tien Shan should be continued.

The article explores the process of social personal adaptation. The research is aimed at structuring the process of social adaptation for further formation of general methodology of research and formation of the mechanism of its management in specific conditions. The authors pose that specific features of adaptation as special ontologic form of personal life are expressed in hetero ontologic character that assumes three parts: natural, psychological and social. The authors represent definition of social adaptation reviewed as a process of solving the contradiction that arises between personality and society and results in development and socialization by means of experience received. The authors highlight the main components of the structure of social adaptation process as follows: adaptation resources (adaptability), adaptive behavior and adjustment. The main criteria of adaptability are defined as cognitive, axio-cultural, communicative and behavioural ones. The paper outlines the strategies of adaptive behavior: active, passive and active and passive. It is shown that constructive vigorous adaptive activity always assumes personal growth and development through expansion and increase of level of search, informative activity, mobilization of all adaptive resources on a solution. The authors describe subjective and objective criteria of adjustment caused by adaptation process. The demarcation of concepts of adaptability, adaptive behavior and adjustment allows to avoid semantic confusion and substitution of concepts of research practice of scientists. Structuring of adaptation process allows applying new methodology and the new ways of the mechanism of precision management of social adaptation.

The relevance of socio-philosophical features of the global world of information management is explained by the formation of new characteristics of social evolution. Due to expansion of global processes, we can observe the transfer of society to new system stage that poses the problems related to management as significant ones. Information culture of society is targeted at computers that is the important factor that makes modern system of management. The problem is that internet changes significantly the conditions for development of power, money, right and knowledge, which are the main sources of national management. Information management of the global world becomes relevant and necessary condition for realization of social structure that defines specific features of practical changes of social relations. Informatization is a strong source of various processes in social development therefore informatization keeps strategical relevance in civilization development. It means that development of new social and energy technologies, science, education and culture have prior position. This is a fundamental feature of social informatization; it explains its specific role in civilization development; it puts forward civilization development in national and international policies. The globalization of new computer information environment of the world society and its expansion in all countries and regions is a new wave in modern information revolution.

The article explores the military progress as an essential component of social progress. This investigation includes a whole range of modern relevant as war, peace, peaceful coexistence, especially in science and technical progress. The analysis of the various concepts of military progress makes favorable conditions for lighting features modern global-regional world order, which has many conflicts. The study of military progress is relevant due to the fact that western world order, which poses itself as a unipolar world, shows its invalidity. The structure of military threats implies a certain level of military progress, which is considered as development of relations between societies on the principles of unity of the world and the relationship of phenomena. Military progress in the modern world order loses its traditional form, it is modified and gains new features by means of ambiguous concepts such as transhumanism, cyber war, that threaten the very nature of a man, posing new challenges for researchers and experts. There is a relation between enhancement of military threats and the nature of military progress: the military threats should correspond to the military progress. This prevents the armed conflict.

Objective: To evaluate the contribution of IL1β gene polymorphisms rs1143634 and rs16944 in the development of myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel coronary artery disease in patients with CAD. Material and Methods: 303 patients with stable coronary artery disease were included in the study. Serum IL1β levels were measured with commercial kits (Bender MedSystems, Austria). TaqMan genotyping assays were performed in 96-well plate. Results: Women, who were homozygous carriers of the IL-1β rs1143634 G major allele, had a 4-fold decreased risk of developing multivessel coronary artery disease (p = 0.046) as well as a 2-fold decreased risk of myocardial infarction (p = 0.0198). The variable site of the IL1β rs1143634 was significantly (p = 0.0025) associated with a reduced risk of MI according to the dominant inheritance pattern (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.29- 0.77), and rs16944 - with a five-fold increased risk (p = 0.0022) according to the co-dominant model (OR = 5.12, 95% CI = 1.82-14.42). The risk of myocardial infarction in men, who were homozygous carriers of the IL1β rs16944 T minor allele, was six times higher than that in women (p = 0.0093). The AC haplotype (rs1143634- rs16944) was associated with a 2-fold reduced risk of myocardial infarction and PICS (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.29-0.81, p <0.0059), with the most pronounced effects in the age of 65 years (p = 0.0031). However, the GT haplotype rs1143634-rs16944 in younger patients (<65 years) was associated with the development of myocardial infarction (p = 0.0074). Conclusion: Genetic markers should be taken into consideration as an independent predictors of myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease.
