The paper considers an approach to the creating an information system for supporting scientific and educational activities (ISSEA). Such a system is designed to systematize knowledge and information resources on the required educational and scientific topics, ensure their integration into a single information space and provide meaningful access to them. The conceptual approach to the development process of ISSEA is based on combining the most important components of Semantic Web technology, in particular, the use of ontology to represent the semantics of information educational resources and support their intellectual analysis and knowledge management methods to improve the effectiveness of access to heterogeneous loosely connected information on various aspects of educational and scientific activities. Such information systems (is) represent information objects of knowledge (in the form of a network of knowledge and data), search for them, and ontology-driven navigation. ISSEA is equipped with an ergonomic web user interface and special editors designed to manage the knowledge integrated into it.

The article focuses on the terminology standard development in the library and information environment. The establishing of terms proceeds under the influence of two trends: borrowing the concepts of regular language (usus) and standardization of terminology. The need to develop linguistic standards for the innovative areas has enhanced activity in the field of standardization and provided the revision and development of some new standards in the librarianship. The pecularity of standardization of the national terminology lies in the principles of standardization, which only allow the use of sustainable lexical units. The following selection criteria for terminological units are used when developing national standards: inambiguity, productivity, linguistic accurateness (originality and use of words of the native language), frequency of term use in the subject area and related fields of knowledge. The selection of lexical units and their interpretation should be focused on the actual characteristics of the subject area. A significant feature of modern standardization in the librarianship is the use of relational terminology from the information technology.

The article analyzes the role that the Russian media should perform in forming the national Institute of public health, and demonstrates what opportunities these media have for this purpose. The article reveals the concept of public health, Institute of public health, explains why and how these concepts have entered international practice, and describes the situation in Russia. However, the focus of interest of researchers is the media attitude to public health. The authors of the article consider historical and theoretical background, which show that the media community of the country is able to act as a stakeholder, i.e. one of the direct participants of the formation of the Institute of public health as a system of interdepartmental, inter-group, interpersonal interaction based on the care of human health, and recognized as the most important social value. In this regard, special attention is paid to the priority tasks of journalists and bloggers, who will apply a new approach to the coverage of health, significantly expanding the usual problems. The article considers competitive programming activities as a suitable for present conditions means of organization of information support of events in this area and offers a matrix for the development of such programs. Another important means for organizing information processes, according to the authors, lies within the principles of reflecting the formation of the Institute of public health in the media publications. They offer five such principles for consideration: actual reliability, integrity and logical literacy of interpretation, balance of rational and emotional arguments of the author's position, visual recognition of publications on the subject of public health as a single cycle, stability of periodicity and structure of publications on the topic of public health.

The article analyzes the philosophical and cultural view of “doctor’s professional culture” as a result of centuries-old practice of human relations, which is characterized by constancy and passed from generation to generation. Medicine is a complex system in which an important role is played by: philosophical outlook of a doctor, philosophical culture, ecological culture, moral culture, aesthetic culture, artistic culture. We have found that within the system “doctor-patient” the degree of cultural proximity becomes a factor that influences the health or life of a patient. Thus, the following factors are important here: 1) communication that suppresses a sick person; 2) the balance of cultural and intellectual levels; 3) the cultural environment of a patient which has much more powerful impact on a patient than the medical one.At the present stage, the interdependence of professional and humanitarian training of future specialists is predominant, as a highly skilled specialist can not but become a subject of philosophizing. We outlined the sphere where the doctors present a genre variety of philosophizing (philosophical novels, apologies, dialogues, diaries, aphorisms, confessions, essays, etc.). This tradition represents the original variations in the formation of future doctor’s communicative competences, which are formed in the process of medical students’ professional training.A survey conducted among medical students made it possible to establish their professional values, which are indicators of the formation of philosophical and culturological competence. It was found out that 92% of respondents believed that a doctor should demonstrate a high level of health culture (avoid drinking and smoking habits, etc.)99% of respondents favoured a high level of personal qualities of a doctor which would allow methods and forms of medical practice to assert higher human ideals of truth, goodness and beauty that are the subject area of cultural studies and philosophy.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problems of the essence and content of judicial ethics in the new conditions of the technical revolution and with other social needs for legal regulation. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The work used a systematic, activity-personal approach to the study of moral and ethical standards of the conduct of judges. This made it possible to reveal a new and broader view on judicial ethics, which is not simply a set of moral restrictions and obligations imposed on a judge. Results. The work has identified and analysed the signs of judicial ethics at the current stage of development. It is argued that ethical regulation is precautionary in relation to the legal regulation of the independence of judges, for they complement ethical rules and reinforce legal norms. The ethical conduct of judges is an instrument guaranteeing judicial independence in all of its manifestations, including in organisational and judicial relations. The new realities of our time recognise the expansion of boundaries and the subject area itself of ethical regulation. A broader view on judicial ethics, which differs from the traditional one, is hereby justified. The latter is defined in two ways – namely both as a system of professional values, as well as a means of judicial administration based on the principle of self-regulation. By its very nature, judicial ethics is the result (and the way) of judicial self-governance, developed on the basis of the experience of functioning bodies of the judicial community. Discussion and Conclusion. Conclusions are drawn on both the instrumental and the managerial impact of the categories of ethics. The subject of judicial ethics has been defined, which constitutes the rules of conduct of judges in the performance of their professional duties and beyond – namely the set of general principles of work of a judge, as well as the personal qualities of a judge personifying the judicial power. Proposals on the optimisation of the mechanism of ethical influence, differentiation of ethical and disciplinary norms have also been substantiated.

Achievement test is of very important assessment tool to evaluate the student’s current level of knowledge and skill acquired from classroom instruction. This test is designed to evaluate the student’s level of achievement in a particular subject for a particular class prescribed under the board or the university. In other words, to assess how much the pupils have achieved the educational objectives in teaching learning process at the end of the course and if achieved then to what extent, it has been achieved. Achievement tests are proved to be very helpful in various ways to the people who are involved in the field of education such as the teachers, the administrators, the planners, to the parents as well as for the students. The teacher very carefully develops and conduct achievement test in the class which enable the teacher to get an overall idea of the progress or the level of achievement of his students in the subject area. The teacher can determine the pupil’s strength and weakness in the subject area. So, based on this the teacher can take necessary remedial instructional strategies for the betterment of the pupil’s progress. In the same time, it also provides feedback for the teaching efficiency of the teacher.As with the time changes there have been many educational reforms taken place and in between syllabus had also been changed under different Boards of Studies. In order to maintain uniform standard of education the Government has formulated a policy to implement NCERT syllabus common to all School Boards throughout the country and accordingly the State Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) follow NCERT syllabus and to evaluate students’ achievement in terms of the policy formulated by the Board. Till now, no any standardized achievement test has been conducted for the secondary school students of Assam. Therefore, the investigators felt to construct and standardize an achievement test in the subject General Science which will definitely help in educational research.

In an ideal world, assessment should be synonymous with effective learning and reflect the intricacies of the subject area. It should also be aligned with the ideals of education: to provide equitable opportunities for all students to achieve and to allow both appropriate differentiation for varied contexts and students and comparability across various contexts and students. This challenge is made more difficult in circumstances in which the contexts are highly heterogeneous, for example in the state of Queensland, Australia. Assessment in music challenges schooling systems in unique ways because teaching and learning in music are often naturally differentiated and diverse, yet assessment often calls for standardization. While each student and teacher has individual, evolving musical pathways in life, the syllabus and the system require consistency and uniformity. The challenge, then, is to provide diverse, equitable, and quality opportunities for all children to learn and achieve to the best of their abilities. This chapter discusses the designing and implementation of large-scale curriculum as experienced in secondary schools in Queensland, Australia. The experiences detailed explore the possibilities offered through externally moderated school-based assessment. Also discussed is the centrality of system-level clarity of purpose, principles and processes, and the provision of supportive networks and mechanisms to foster autonomy for a diverse range of music educators and contexts. Implications for education systems that desire diversity, equity, and quality are discussed, and the conclusion provokes further conceptualization and action on behalf of students, teachers, and the subject area of music.
