The article carries out a comprehensive study, clarification and systematization of the conceptual foundations of social responsibility in the system of public administration. The evolution of the concept of "social responsibility" from the corporate sector to public administration is studied. The importance of incorporating social responsibility into public administration and its role in achieving sustainable development is highlighted. The author's definition of the concept of "social responsibility in the public administration system" is proposed. The theoretical foundations of social responsibility in public administration are considered. Such theoretical approaches to social responsibility as ethical, economic, legal and others are presented. An integrated approach to social responsibility in public administration is considered. The relationship between social responsibility and sustainable development in the context of public administration is determined. It is explained that an integrated approach to social responsibility allows to harmonize the social, environmental and economic aspects of public administration. The advantages and challenges associated with the application of an integrated approach to social responsibility in public administration are presented. The role of stakeholders in the formation of social responsibility of public administration is considered. The classification of stakeholders in public administration is provided and their role in the formation of social responsibility and influence on the decision-making process is shown. The mechanisms for ensuring social responsibility in the public administration system are investigated. The tools for assessing and measuring social responsibility in public administration are presented, which help to assess the impact of the activities of public authorities on social aspects. The role of standards, regulations and recommendations in ensuring social responsibility, which act as regulators and determine the norms of behavior of public administration, is considered. The considered aspects of the development of the concept of "social responsibility", theoretical foundations, an integrated approach, the role of stakeholders and mechanisms for ensuring social responsibility allow us to understand the meaning and role of social responsibility in public administration.

The article analyzes the extent of conformity of actual Russian regulation in public service and federal education standards in public administration to the goals of the development of digital economy. For this purpose the authors analyze the following topics. First - the actual strategic documents in the field of the digital economy, including the main risks of the development of information technologies on the public service. Second, the present situation with higher and postgraduate education of public servants, regulation of public service and requirements for some positions connected with the information technologies. Third, the digital competences of the graduates of the public administration education programs from the federal education standards of bachelor and master level. The authors come to the conclusion that education standards in public administration pay little attention to the skills in information technologies, as well as the actual regulation of public service and public administration education needs in the digital economy. As possible ways of adaptation the authors suggest integration of competences for digital economy in education standards and creation of courses and education programs of bachelor, master and postgraduate levels corresponding to the goals of the development of digital economy.

The article examines the existing practice of using blockchain technology in law, politics and public administration, as well as the prospects of its further use in these areas. The authors approach the problem from the point of view of a systematic approach, which allows to justify the applicability of this technology to solving the problems facing modern law, politics and public administration in a dynamically developing information society. Considering the features of blockchain technology application in each of the three selected areas, the authors establish a pattern according to which the introduction of this technology into the sphere of policy is usually preceded by its introduction into legal and bureaucratic practice. Based on the identified features and patterns of the process of introduction of blockchain technology in law, politics and public administration, the authors analyze the prospects of expanding the scope of this technology in these areas, compare Russian practice with foreign experience.

The subject of the study is the concept of the principles of administrative responsibility, as well as the problems and trends of their provision in the context of active reform of domestic legislation on administrative responsibility. Taking into account the fact that the institution of administrative responsibility should be based on the general principles of public administration and legal responsibility, the author considers the principles of administrative responsibility as a fundamental element of public legal responsibility. The principles of administrative responsibility are studied by the author from the standpoint of highlighting the principles of establishing and applying administrative responsibility as principles of a more specific order. The subject of the study also includes the formation of a correlation of such concepts as: principles of administrative responsibility, principles of legislation on administrative offenses, principles of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. They are studied by the author in the context of a comparative legal analysis of the provisions of the current Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation and individual drafts of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. When working on the topic, the following research methods were used: comparative law, methods of systematic and comparative analysis, methods of legal formalization, structuring and classification. The main conclusions of the study are the following: 1) the list of principles of administrative responsibility can be recognized by a system in which different types of principles have been prioritized and significant in different historical periods; 2) with regard to the principles of administrative responsibility, the principles of establishing administrative responsibility and the principles of applying administrative responsibility should be distinguished (the first group of principles is addressed to the legislator, the second group of principles is enshrined in the legislation on administrative offenses and is used by bodies and persons within the framework of specific procedures for bringing to administrative responsibility); 3) as the basic principles of administrative responsibility, it is necessary to highlight: legality; equality of persons brought to administrative responsibility before the law; personalization of administrative responsibility; presumption of innocence; justice. A special contribution of the author to the research of the topic is an overview of the consolidation of the principles of administrative responsibility in the projects of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that it is necessary to consolidate the principles of administrative responsibility in the updated legislation on administrative offenses.

Background: Approximately 21,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. Because inflammation is thought to affect ovarian carcinogenesis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin and ibuprofen, and other medications such as acetaminophen and histamine receptor antagonists, may affect the risk of ovarian cancer. However, existing epidemiological evidence on these associations is mixed. Methods: We assessed the relationship between medication use and risk of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer in the California Teachers Study (CTS), a prospective cohort of former or current female public school teachers and administrators in California. Analysis included 104,184 women, of whom 420 were diagnosed with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer during follow-up through December 31, 2007. Self-reported medication use from the baseline CTS questionnaire (1995-1996) was used to classify exposures. Relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained using Cox proportional hazards methods. Results: Regular use, defined as at least once a week, of aspirin (RR 0.96; 95%CI 0.76 − 1.19), non-aspirin NSAIDs (RR 1.04; 95%CI 0.80 − 1.30), acetaminophen (RR 1.13; 95%CI 0.85 − 1.50) or histamine receptor antagonists (RR 0.85; 95%CI 0.58 − 1.20) was not associated with ovarian cancer risk. Ovarian cancer risk was not associated with daily use of aspirin (RR 1.04; 95%CI 0.77 − 1.45) or non-aspirin NSAIDs (RR 0.85; 95%CI 0.56 − 1.31) but was associated with daily use of acetaminophen (RR 1.82, 95%CI 1.01 − 2.95), and the latter association persisted after excluding ovarian cancers diagnosed during the first one to five years of follow-up. Two-thirds of the daily acetaminophen users also reported using acetaminophen for more than three years, but there was no association between increasing duration of use and ovarian cancer risk. Conclusion: Our results do not support the hypothesis that these medications reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. Conversely, the finding that daily acetaminophen use was associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer differs from previous studies and may warrant further investigation.

The article reveals and explores the main approaches to understanding the category of «administrative re-sponsibility». The authors explore and study the achievements of modern administrative-legal doctrine, as well as the achievements of Soviet-era administrative scientists who are making their first attempts to justify the interpretation of the category of «administrative responsibility». The current administrative and tort legislation does not contain and does not disclose the concept of «ad-ministrative responsibility», which causes a lot of controversy and discussion both in the scientific community and among legal practitioners. The paper analyzes statistical data and the dynamics of the administrative-tort situation in the Russian Federation as a whole, on the basis of which it is concluded that there is a need for high-quality legislative regulation of all key aspects related to administrative responsibility. The authors pay special attention to the Draft of the new Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, which contains a legislative definition of administrative responsibility and signs of administrative responsibility. In addition, the paper examines and analyzes the basic principles of administrative responsibility, which should be enshrined in administrative-tort legislation. On the basis of the analysis, taking into account the scientific diversity of the existing positions of admin-istrative scientists regarding the interpretation of the category «administrative responsibility», the authors propose their own concept of the category»administrative responsibility».

The article is devoted to a critically important, in the author’s opinion, issue of the ethical regulation of public servants’ official behavior. He considers the complex of ethical-legal mechanisms as one of the most effective ways in order to correct the obviously unsatisfactory current situation of public life in this field. As long as it is not only Russia’s trouble and many other countries pay considerable attention to ethical aspects, the author reflects the situation in the frames of a broader theoretical position and also addresses the international experience. In particular, he gives much attention to Canada, where the ethical regulation of public service is developed sufficiently well and the country has achieved serious success in this respect. Ethical codes are considered as "moral navigators" in the contemporary complicated world, because vitality and legitimity of a political system much depends on whether political institutions and behavior of high rank public officials correspond to the prevailed public values and ideals, accord with the norms and standards of public morality, or they do not. A degree of public trust to holders of public posts depends critically on it. The administrative ethical codes of different levels and the "ethical infrastructure" that provide their fulfillment have been thoroughly analyzed. Special attention is paid to the role of the leader, to moral self-restrictions of public servants and to exercising control over them. The balance between moral and legal norms has been considered in details, as well as the modern situation of Russia in this field.

Arendt emphasizes the political dimension of human action and it is a part of her republican political philosophy that human beings at all levels of their existence must be personally responsible and morally sensible according to critical judgment. This is necessary in order to protect humanity and human dignity in organizations, bureaucracies, and their environments. In this chapter, we will discuss the relation between responsibilities, judgment, moral thinking and imagination in management and public administration. This chapter presents moral thinking and imagination as a necessary response to the failures of business administrators and public leaders and administrators in the context of decision-making in organizations and bureaucracies. Such problems and issues lead to a discussion of ethical formulation competency as judgment and moral thinking.

The contribution will be concentrated on one of the most fundamental ethical values and principles applied in public administration environment - responsibility and personal accountability of public officials and administrators who have to be liable and answerable for their deeds and actions towards certain community, regional or local, and towards general public as well. The introductory part puts its attention on the explanation of two concepts in question, responsibility and accountability regarding the processes of making, guardianship and managing agreements, decisions and expectations in any relations covering the area of public administration from the ethical point of view. The theoretical contemplation takes into consideration teleological and deontological conceptions followed by practical summing up of public administration accountability mechanism. Having in mind the inner and outer influences on administrator`s and public officials` accountability which is connected with their behavior and decision – making processes some basic ethical aspects and accountability levels are dealt with.
