The article provides an overview of theoretical and methodological concepts presented by domestic and foreign researchers on the development of physical culture and sports social institution, in order to study its role in the formation of personality and the production of social changes. The emphasis placed on the prerequisites and conditions for the emergence of the sociology of sports as a direction of sociological science in our country and abroad seems to be important. The analysis of researchers' opinions on understanding the specifics of the categories "physical culture" and "sport" is presented. Some theoretical and methodological approaches, such as institutionalism which substantiates the role of social institutions sports in the social practice of different groups of population; a historical approach that allows to analyze the transformation of meanings of terms "physical culture" and "sport"; a sociocultural concept that makes it possible to consider physical culture and sports as elements of a broader category of "culture", as well as the work of modern domestic and foreign scientists in the field of sociology of sports are presented in the article. The author uses the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, content analysis of documents; analysis of statistical data. The novelty of the research issue lies in the critical understanding of the current state of physical culture and sports as social institutions from the standpoint of theoretical and methodological sociological concepts, including the analysis of different points of view on the content of the terms "physical culture" and "sport". The author comes to the conclusion about the absence of a unified approach and interpretation of concepts, their hierarchy: on the one hand, physical culture, considered as a derivative of the concept of "culture", which is basic and includes the concept of "sport"; on the other hand, despite the close semantic meaning, the terms are independent and have characteristic distinctive features. The current situation of instability, high risks caused by a conglomerate of political, economic, epidemiological and other problems affects all spheres of life, including the field of sports, which dictates the need for further sociological research to make motivated decisions at all levels of government in a nutshell and long term.

The main advantages and contradictions of the formation of electronic democracy in Russia have been identified. The main prospects for the formation of the institution of electronic democracy in Russia are analyzed. The authors argue that the institution of electronic democracy allows to quickly discuss socially significant state decisions, enhances the integration of citizens into the political sphere and, in general, increases the level of trust in state institutions.
The scientific article provides a historical analysis of the doctrinal approach to the legal characterization of the right of operational management. Particular attention is paid to the scientific works of Professor S. M. Korneev and his position on the right of operational management as a subjective real right. The position of Professor S. M. Korneev is presented. on the distinction between the right of ownership and the right of operational management, which became the basis for the author's conclusion that the subject of the right of operational management manages the property of the owner for the purposes that the owner sets for the first. The article touches upon the question of the possibility of transferring the powers of the owner to the subject of the right of operational management, the answer to which was given at one time by Professor Korneev S. M., who believed that the owner, transferring this or that power, does not transfer it completely. The author also examines the current problems of applying the norms of the civil legislation of the Russian Federation on the right of operational management, which in most cases take place in relation to private institutions. The question is raised about the subsidiary liability of the founder of the institution for the debts of the latter. It is concluded that it is necessary to revise the main features of the right of operational management in the new economic conditions, which are different from those that took place in the Soviet period of Russia's development.
The paper attempts to analyze artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data phenomenon as institutions of new technological generation of economy, referring to A. P. Loktev's concept of 'Internet as metainstitution'. The represented institutional conception of artificial intelligence is based on A. A. Zinoviev's fundamental intellectology study as an integrated set of all sciences. The authors confirm that weakening of natural intelligence in the contemporary world is offset by artificial intelligence development within the framework of digit-induced technology. The research evolves Yu.M. Osipov's thesis that artificial intelligence is closer to modern neuro=cyber=technicized human being than to robotized technics as it is. The article provides the findings on artificial intelligence and Big Data drawing on evidence from Russia and some European countries. The authors identify the reasons for institutional traps mostly presented in the form of inefficient institutions that run contrary to certain human rights and emerge with introduction of artificial intelligence into the economic activity.
Promotion of "green" economy, that assumes increasing of the population welfare, social justice and improving of environmental quality, is one of the most important trends in the development of many countries including Russia. For our country building of "green" economy is also linked to the modernization and breaking with export-dependence on raw materials. Higher education institutions could contribute to the development of this process: traditionally both in the world and in Russia at universities environmental initiatives could be implemented and future environmental leaders could grow. To speed up the transition to of "green" economy we have proposed an approach "University as a model of "green" economy". It is based on the possibility of developing, testing and further replication of "green" technologies at universities – in the areas of energy efficiency, waste management, eco-friendly transport, etc. We carried out the analysis of the pilot projects in the field of "green" economy – two cases of separate waste collection: in the Main building of Lomonosov Moscow State University (LMSU) and the LMSU branch in Sevastopol. We conclude that there is a significant potential of the implementation of "green" technologies for the development of "green" economy and for the development of universities themselves.
In conditions of financial institutions' development it is crucial to examine the transformation in the form of a collective investment institution under the influence of digitalization and, in particular, the emergence of cryptocurrencies. The subject of the research refers to the features of ICO functioning as a transformation of a financial institution for collective investment. The goal is to explore the ICO as a new form of collective investment. The results of the research are achieved through a comprehensive comparative analysis of ICO and IPO as a basic tool of financial institutions. The paper highlights the advantages and disadvantages, identifies the factors, analyzes the institutional regulation of ICO and proposes development vectors from three angles: for project creators, investors, regulators. The results can be used in policymaking, the functioning of joint investment platforms, in training specialists in the field of digital economy and financial markets.
Access to health care is a key component that determines the possibility of the earliest-possible promotion of health and well-being in the context of everyday life. The article analyzes the spatial accessibility of health services for the population of certain areas of the North of Russia. Urbanized and rural areas in the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions and the Yamal-Nenets autonomous region were studied. OpenStreetMap data was used, including information about the location of medical institutions and settlements, and the configuration of road network. Using the ArcGIS Network Analyst toolkit, different accessibility zones were identified for each study area. It was revealed that large cities located in the north of Russia are sufficiently provided with medical care in terms of spatial accessibility. More relevant is the issue of providing specialized types of medical care. Even cities located close to each other show unequal possibilities of obtaining specialized health care. The concentration of specialized care in several centers, without taking into account their transport accessibility, requires additional time and carries risks for the population because of the untimely access to medical care. Rural population remains the most vulnerable in terms of the access to medical care.
Due to the development of technologies, particularly internet technologies, there appear new opportunities to promote products and services through appropriate channels of communication, such as websites, social networks, databases, various aggregators, applications, etc. The methods and tools of work with new channels of communication are designed and updated on a regular basis. Under conditions of growing competition in the market of goods and services, particularly among institutions of higher education, such marketing method as the promotion of services through internet channels becomes ever more relevant and leads to considerable economic effect when applied. The purpose of writing this article is to provide, based on the results of the study: 1) characteristics of educational services, additional educational services as their integral part as well as non-educational services of the institutions of higher education; 2) designed marketing mix for their promotion on the internet. During the study we applied the methods of system and comparative analysis, generalization and systematization. The features of educational services were considered. The range of services of the institutions of higher education was researched and the main ways to promote these services were identified, the efficiency of promotion tools on the internet was assessed. It was found during the study that the main educational services are promoted on the internet by the institutions of higher education by using websites and social networks pages. The authors also found that educational institutions have a capacity to provide a wide range of additional educational and non-educational services. It is proven that these services are not currently promoted by anyone. Based on the above, we designed a project of developing a separate website with additional services of the institution of higher education of Grodno State University named after Yanka Kupala and the algorithm of promotion of additional services of the University on the internet. The scientific novelty of the conducted research is in the proposal to study, share and develop additional services of an educational institution based on the use of the algorithm, designed by the authors, of promotion of additional services on the internet through the website. Practical significance of the performed research is in the possibility of applying the proposed algorithm to promote the services not only by the institutions of higher education, but other institutions that provide a range of essential and additional services. The confirmation of the practical significance of the study is the implementation of its results into the practical activities of the marketing and advertising department of Grodno State University named after Yanka Kupala (Belarus). Promising subject for further scientific research is to explore the efficiency of the website www.market.grsu.by and the methods of its promotion, to study economic efficiency of the project of launching the website with additional services by the institution of higher education of Grodno State University named after Yanka Kupala.

On the basis of the synthesis of the ordoliberal concept of economic policy and the methodology of wave front analysis of social processes, the role of rent income in economic development is examined using the statistical method. The first prerequisite was the division of entrepreneurial activity into profit seeking and rent seeking and the differences in their impact on the welfare of society. As a second prerequisite, a provision was made that rent-seeking behavior of economic agents is caused by the institutional system of the state. The article presents the results of a research of the relationship between the size of rental income and the level of economic development according to data from 166 countries for the period from 1997 to 2017, and the relationship between indicators of the quality of the institutional system and the level of rental income (share of rent in GDP) according to data from 161 countries for 2017. It is concluded that there is an average level of negative relationship between such indicators of the quality of the institutional system as "Voice and Accountability", "Government Effectiveness", "Regulatory Quality" and the share of rent in GDP. It was also stated that there are no sufficient grounds to assert that at the present stage, the absence of rent income or low level of such an income hinders economic development. ; На основе синтеза ордолиберальной концепции политики хозяйственного порядка и методологии волнофронтального анализа социальных процессов с применением экономико-статистического метода исследована роль рентных доходов в экономическом развитии. В качестве первой предпосылки принималось деление предпринимательской деятельности на поиск прибыли (profit seeking) и поиск ренты (rent seeking) и отличия в их воздействии на благосостояние общества. В качестве второй предпосылки принято положение об обусловленности рентоориентированного поведения экономических агентов институциональной системой государства. Изложены результаты исследования взаимосвязи величины рентных доходов и ...
