В статье автором проводится анализ законодательных памятников права Московского государства XV-XVI вв. и публично-правовых грамот. Выявляется проблема отсутствия законодательного закрепления таких понятий, как «коррупция», «коррупционное правонарушение». Предпринимается попытка определения данных понятий. Сравнивается понимание указанных явлений в XV-XVI вв. с современной правовой интерпретацией. Анализируются и раскрываются основные аспекты и особенности коррупционных правонарушений, характерные для периода Московского государства. Перечисляются меры противодействия коррупции на современном этапе и в рассматриваемом временном периоде. Изучаются не только такие известные памятники российского права, как судебники, но также и иные источники права периода XV-XVI вв. Перечисляются и раскрываются меры юридической ответственности за совершение коррупционных правонарушений. Дается краткая характеристика видам юридической ответственности, применяемым за совершение коррупционных правонарушений. Подчеркивается тяжесть уголовной ответственности, которую несли низшие судебные чиновники за совершение коррупционных правонарушений. Автор обращает внимание на то, что законодатель рассматриваемого периода придавал большое значение борьбе с чиновничьим произволом на местах. В ходе исследования автор приходит к выводу о том, что расширение видов мер юридической ответственности за коррупционные правонарушения, назначение тяжких телесных наказаний за совершение такого рода деяний не привело к искоренению коррупции в рассматриваемом историческом периоде.

And this is right, because   the changes in the regulations of administrative responsibility should consist of an analysis of legal relations’ dynamics at the present stage due to the fact that the legislation on administrative responsibility as one of the types of legal responsibility requires a unified approach to develop a clear scientific concept and improve it.

In 1908, the American Sugar Refining Company (ASR) reversed its long-held policy of secrecy as to its financial condition and performance. Prior work, applying contemporary capital market methods to ASR security price data of that period, has suggested a value to ASR shareholders of this policy reversal. This paper examines the historical record of that time and presents additional evidence on this matter, particularly in terms of identifying potentially confounding events occurring during the period under study. The results of this analysis suggest a difficulty in attributing observed abnormal returns to ASR's secrecy policy reversal on the basis of the results obtained from applying capital markets methods. This analysis is useful for scholars interested in applying modern capital market methods to historical data. It highlights the significance of the possible effects of contemporaneous historical events, focuses attention on the importance of a deep understanding of the historical period studied, and suggests a value in combining historical and empirical-markets methods to gain a richer understanding of the events and conditions in the time period under study.

The general theoretical and sectoral aspects of the problem of the functions of legal responsibility are considered. The author proceeds from the fact that the main methodological mistake of supporters of the restorative function of legal responsibility is that they often identify measures of legal responsibility and protection measures.

The authors analyze the positions of Ukrainian, Russian and other scholars of the post-Soviet and the EU countries regarding the essence and categorization of offenses and ensuing legal responsibility, as well as the place that criminal offenses hold among them and responsibility for these offences. They draw attention to the discrepancies in the positions of those authors who believe crimes and misdemeanors to be socially dangerous and the requirements in the Criminal Codes of many countries that state directly that due to its insignificance an action stops being socially dangerous and criminal. In this connection it is not logical that Ukraine and a number of other countries have introduced such categories as criminal offenses and criminal misdemeanors. The authors suggest solving this problem by introducing a fifth category of crimes based on the degree of gravity — the mildest crimes. Using new approaches of different researchers, the authors present their own solution of the problem: they define and categorize offenses into criminal ones (crimes – actions that have all the indicia and elements of a crime; underage acts — committed by persons who have not reached the age of criminal responsibility; insane acts — offenses committed by mentally incompetent and partially mentally incompetent persons; guiltless acts — when there is not guilty party; accidents — acts of natural forces, including acts of animals without the activity of a person) and non-criminal (constitutional, administrative, disciplinary, civil, business) offences that are further categorized in the same way into misdemeanors, underage acts, insane acts and special cases, whose essence is determined similarly to the corresponding types of criminal offenses. New approaches of different scholars allowed the authors to present their own variant of determining the essence and structure of legal responsibility and its categorization into administrative, disciplinary, civil and business responsibility with further subdivision, using the example of constitutional and criminal responsibility, of all types of legal responsibility into positive and negative (punitive-educational, restorative and concomitant).

In recent years, an explosion of interest in neuroscience has led to the development of "Neuro-law," a new multidisciplinary field of knowledge whose aim is to examine the impact and role of neuroscientific findings in legal proceedings. Neuroscientific evidence is increasingly being used in US and European courts in criminal trials, as part of psychiatric testimony, nourishing the debate about the legal implications of brain research in psychiatric-legal settings.In this paper, we aim to examine the impact of Neuroscientific evidence in the assessment of criminal responsibility. We start with a brief historical survey of the relation between brain sciences and criminal law. We then present two criminal cases in the context of which neuroimaging techniques were introduced as evidence of diminished responsibility or irresponsibility and continue with a presentation of some significant limitations and difficulties that neuroscience faces in the assessment of penal responsibility. These limitations are scientific, legal but also of philosophical and conceptual nature.We conclude that addressing moral or legal responsibility might depend on scientific data, but requires entry to very different conceptual domains. The legal system cannot delegate to another field, scientific or otherwise, the ascription of legal meaning. Neuroscientific data, however accurate and reliable they may become in the future, cannot contribute to the assessment of criminal responsibility, unless they are contextualised and completed -or even confronted- with data collected on other levels of analysis, in particular on a psychological, anamnestic, sociological and economic level. Neurosciences, as sciences, can offer functioning and biological models of behaviours, while the assignment of responsibility is a normative issue. Although neuroscientific evidence can provide assistance in the evaluation of penal responsibility by introducing new determinisms in the behavioural analysis of offenders with mental disturbances, it does not dispense with the need to define the limits of responsibility and irresponsibility of the accused. This analysis, while it needs to take account of social, moral and political factors - in addition to elements contributed by experts - ultimately belongs to the legal sphere.
