The pharmacy business is one of the most important, as well as socially significant and socially responsible in the modern economy. Currently, the pharmacy sector of the Russian pharmaceutical market is experiencing a high level of development of the competitive environment and the search for competitive advantages of pharmacy organizations. However, the problem of social responsibility of the subjects of the pharmaceutical market remained outside the sphere of scientific interests of domestic scientists. The aim of the study was to study social responsibility in the pharmacy business. The main method of collecting and analyzing information in the study was content analysis of materials from the official websites of Russian pharmacy chains. A practical argument for the choice of Internet resources as an empirical basis for the study was the desire to conduct a large-scale analysis of the features of the development of social responsibility of pharmacy chains with different economic opportunities. The article presents the main characteristics of national regulatory documents on SSR issues, presents the results of the analysis of public information posted on the official websites of the TOP 100 pharmacy chains in Russia.

The contemporary approaches to the development of territories are considered in the article. It is noted that the integrated European approach to the development of territories is increasingly being applied in Ukraine. The essence of integrated development, the stages of development of the Integrated Development Strategy (Concept Strategy), emphasized that understanding of the role and functions of government and local self-government in the development and implementation of integrated development of territories should be perceived not only as the current management task, but also as social responsibility to the community and society. The key aspects of socially responsible behavior of authorities and local self-government in ensuring integrated development of territories are determined. It is noted that the perception of the fulfillment of its functions as social responsibility will allow to effectively plan and implement the development plans of the territories, compete for investments and the best jobs; use the local resource of the territory to create competitive advantages of the region, provide motivation and the ability of "key players" to use competitive advantages and to cooperate effectively; create and maintain institutions that promote the use of intellectual potential, ongoing modernization and innovation in the region; to ensure the willingness and ability of key institutions to adapt to the challenges of the global economy.

Currently, a new company is claimed that includes the principles of sustainability and results in its actions, generating satisfaction for all stakeholders. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) seeks to create a balance between economic benefits and social welfare directly impacting various operational levels. This analysis concludes that companies must stop viewing CSR as an additional cost, since they can obtain sustainable competitive advantages by developing proactive strategies, based on the possession of certain resources and capabilities, because they can innovate to be socially responsible , increase their productivity and expand their markets in search of new growth opportunities using as a competitive strategy various social responsibility programs that include the participation of their own employees and that these programs are for the benefit of society in general, such as afforestation campaigns , assistance or prevention programs for various social health programs, promotion of youth entrepreneurship, technology products, national and international travel, etc.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a current important strategy in organizations today. Numerous factors that affect the global functioning of organizations have determined the need to incorporate a look towards sustainable development. This implies considering the integration of not only economic, but also social and environmental concerns in the day-to-day of the companies. We move, therefore, under the perspective of the Triple Bottom Line. In addition, the exercise of CSR will motivate the achievement of competitive advantages for organizations. Given this, this article seeks to analyze the numerous benefits derived from the implementation of socially responsible actions in companies. These are structured from different organizational approaches: personal sphere, organizational field, personal and organizational fields and financial area. Together with them, the implementation of the CSR may entail the need to incur certain costs, which are also referred to in the study. Finally, we propose some future lines of research

<p>El ejercicio de la Responsabilidad Social y la divulgación de sus resultados son aspectos a tener en cuenta por las empresas en el contexto actual. Su importancia se encuentra en las diferentes ventajas competitivas que puedan obtener de la puesta en marcha voluntaria de medidas socialmente responsables, lo cual proporcionará ventajas competitivas a la empresa. Uno de los aspectos fundamentales de la responsabilidad es de índole interna, consistente en una gestión eficiente de los Recursos Humanos, proporcionando mayores índices de calidad laboral y repercutiendo directamente en la competitividad de la empresa. Con esta base teórica este trabajo analiza el sector del automóvil en España intentando determinar hasta qué punto la divulgación de acciones responsables de las empresas del sector están considerando las políticas de gestión del capital humano como un eje vertebrador de la misma.</p><p>The exercise of social responsibility and disclosure of results are issues to be considered by companies in the current context. Its importance lies in the different competitive advantages they can get from the start up of socially responsible voluntary measures, which will provide the company competitive advantages. One of the fundamental aspects of accountability is internal, consisting in the efficient management of human resources by providing higher rates of labor quality and directly affecting the competitiveness of the company. With this theoretical basis, this paper analyzes the automobile sector in Spain trying to determine to what extent the disclosure of responsible actions of companies in the sector are considering policies to manage human capital as a backbone of it</p>

In this article, we present a thorough evaluation of semantic password grammars. We report multifactorial experiments that test the impact of sample size, probability smoothing, and linguistic information on password cracking. The semantic grammars are compared with state-of-the-art probabilistic context-free grammar ( PCFG ) and neural network models, and tested in cross-validation and A vs. B scenarios. We present results that reveal the contributions of part-of-speech (syntactic) and semantic patterns, and suggest that the former are more consequential to the security of passwords. Our results show that in many cases PCFGs are still competitive models compared to their latest neural network counterparts. In addition, we show that there is little performance gain in training PCFGs with more than 1 million passwords. We present qualitative analyses of four password leaks (Mate1, 000webhost, Comcast, and RockYou) based on trained semantic grammars, and derive graphical models that capture high-level dependencies between token classes. Finally, we confirm the similarity inferences from our qualitative analysis by examining the effectiveness of grammars trained and tested on all pairs of leaks.

In recent years there has been greater concern among companies to include responsible practices in their goals. To achieve this aim, companies are beginning to manage economic, social and environmental factors following socially responsible practices. Adopting a strategy of Corporate <br />Social Responsibility (CSR) may influence the different policies implemented by the company, one of which is that regarding innovation.  In this study, we analyze the opinions of 95 European companies, 42 of which form part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and 53 of which belong to the Dow Jones General Index (DJGI), concerning their CSR policy, the innovation carried out and the relation between the two concepts. Our results show that the DJSI companies, unlike those belonging to the DJGI, consider their CSR strategy to be a key factor in generating competitive advantages and profits. Moreover, the companies surveyed have implemented innovations that are more incremental than radical, and these innovation practices are found to be influenced by CSR strategies. <br /><br />

The author develops ideas about the origin of social inequality during the evolution of human societies and reflects on the possibilities of its overcoming. What makes human beings different from other primates is a high level of egalitarianism and altruism, which contributed to more successful adaptability of human collectives at early stages of the development of society. The transition to agriculture, coupled with substantially increasing population density, was marked by the emergence and institutionalisation of social inequality based on the inequality of tangible assets and symbolic wealth. Then, new institutions of warfare came into existence, and they were aimed at conquering and enslaving the neighbours engaged in productive labour. While exercising control over nature, people also established and strengthened their power over other people. Chiefdom as a new type of polity came into being. Elementary forms of power (political, economic and ideological) served as a basis for the formation of early states. The societies in those states were characterised by social inequality and cruelties, including slavery, mass violence and numerous victims. Nowadays, the old elementary forms of power that are inherent in personalistic chiefdom are still functioning along with modern institutions of public and private bureaucracy. This constitutes the key contradiction of our time, which is the juxtaposition of individual despotic power and public infrastructural one. However, society is evolving towards an ever more efficient combination of social initiatives with the sustainability and viability of large-scale organisations.
