The article compares the processes of dissemination of modern information and communication technologies in government bodies in Russia and abroad. It is stated that Russia began the transition to «electronic government» later than the developed countries, in which this process was launched within the framework of large-scale and comprehensive programs for reforming public administration in the 1980s and 1990s. However, to date, there is an alignment in the pace and content of digitalization tasks. At a new stage in this process, the concept of «electronic government» under the influence of such newest phenomena of the emerging information society as methods of analysis of «big data», «artificial intelligence», «Internet of things», «blockchain» is being transformed into the category of «digital government». Achievements and prospects of public administration digitalization are considered on the example of countries with the highest ratings — Denmark, Australia, Republic of Korea, Great Britain, USA and Russia.

1.Neodiplostomum intermediumPearson is recorded from four new hosts; as an adult from the water rat,Hydromys chrysogasterGeoffroy, and as a metacercaria (diplostomulum), from tadpole and adult of an undescribed tree frog,Hylasp., tadpole of (Hyla latopalmata(Günther)Mixophyes fasciolatusGünther and frog of an unidentified leptodactylid.2. The life cycle ofNeodiplostomum intermediumwas followed experimentally; the hosts were:Pettancylus assimilis(Petterd), a fresh-water limpet, as first intermediate host; tadpole ofHyla pearsoniCopland as second intermediate host;Hyla caerulea(Shaw) a tree frog, andHemisphaerodon gerrardiPeters, the pinktongued skink, as paratenic hosts; andRattus assimilis(Gould) and laboratory rats as definitive hosts.3. Descriptions are given of the morphology of the miracidium, mother sporocyst, daughter sporocyst, cercaria, and diplostomulum, with special reference to the structure of the miracidium and of the cercarial tail.4. Observations are given on the embryology of the miracidium, hatching of the egg, transformation of the miracidium into the mother sporocyst with special reference to the germinal cells, the route and manner of escape of cercariae from the snail host, the development of the diplostomulum with special reference to the reserve excretory system, and the movements of diplostomula during metamorphosis of the tadpole host.5. The haploid chromosome number is ten, as determined from squashes of testes. One paratype and a series of experimental adults have been compared with and found different fromNeodiplostomum(Fibricola)sarcophilusn.comb. The orthography and formal proposing of the names of the species ofFibricolatransferred toNeodiplostomumby Pearson (1959b) are corrected.The writer wishes to thank Dr M. J. Mackerras, Queensland Institute for Medical Research, for generously supplying water rats; Professor J. F. A. Sprent, University of Queensland Veterinary School, for his criticism of the manuscript; Mr K. Webber and his sons for their assistance in catching rats and for permission to collect snails, frogs and tadpoles from their streams; and Mr R. J. Ballantyne for technical assistance. This study was supported by a grant from the Rural Credits Fund of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Public value is a new and important concept in the field of public administration. A large number of researchers has focused on the concept of public value during the last 10 years or so. This concept gives a new idea of public management with the theme of people’s first approach to facilitate them. Public value creation is the main concern of public managers in today’s public sector organizations. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 413 articles published on the topic of public value in Scopus index journals from 1995 to 2018. A large number of articles on public value shows the importance of the concept of public value. This systematic literature review reveals that most of the work on public value has been done in developed countries like USA, UK, Australia, and Netherland and developing countries are far behind on the research of public value.

This article investigates the unique role of applied public service colleges in engaging with communities through economic development and entrepreneurship-related activities. Schools of public administration, affairs, and service are often distinctively tasked with being public facing, connecting and working with outside agencies, nonprofits, and other stakeholders. Using a case study of Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, which employs a public-private partnership model to find solutions to challenges facing communities, the economy, and the environment, the authors discuss the emerging engagement role of these schools using a typology of strategies brought forth by the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities. The authors outline seven specific programs run by the Voinovich School and discuss the activities, services, and intensity of each. As opposed to other forms of civic or community engagement, this article focuses primarily on economic engagement, such as technical assistance, business development, and related activities that drive regional and rural economic growth. Having a deeper comprehension of how such programs operate to enhance engagement and interaction between academics and outside stakeholders can be an important aspect of growing similar connections in other schools to further pursue regional connectivity and development.
