Nowadays terminology issues are getting more and more important due to the introduction of informational technologies into all professional areas including records and archives management. But are the terminological systems used in records management, archives and IT well coordinated? There are international organizations on standardization (e.g. ISO and IEC) which are responsible for the compatibility of international terminology through developing international standards. This article presents the results of our research into the main ISO and IEC standards (e.g. ISO 5127-2017, ISO 15489-2016) used in records and archives management and IT in terms of compatibility of standardized international terminology in these spheres. The main method of our research was the comparative analysis of various definitions of the same terms given in international standards created for experts in the above mentioned areas. Understanding the difference between the «data», «document», «record» is very important for choosing the ways of the protection and storage of the actual objects denoted by these terms. The research has shown that it is too early to speak about the compatibility of terminological systems even used in such close areas as records management and archives. The same is actual for IT terminology when it penetrates these spheres. Yet their terminological systems do not seem fully integrated even in ISO and IEC standards elaborated for these professional areas. However, it will be practically impossible to develop these spheres without coordinating their terminological systems. ISO and IEC standards might be real tools for solving this problem but they are still not appropriately used.

One of the most severe complications of metastatic lesion of the skeleton is the development of a pathological fracture, which not only affects the quality of life, makes it difficult to carry out adequate systemic treatment, but also has a negative effect on survival. In case of a pathological fracture, the main method of treatment is a surgical method. The main goal of the correction is to achieve stability and reduce metastatic pain in the area of damage or fracture. Today, the most popular organ-preserving operations for metastatic lesions of the femur in combination with pathological fractures are endoprosthesis and intramedullary osteosynthesis. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the results of their use is carried out, the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods are described.

Introduction. The article presents a comparative analysis of existing algorithms for calculating the h-index and a number of its modifications that use the same basic idea or make use of its algorithm as the starting point. What makes the study relevant is the significant demand for a better approach to assessing the publication activity of researchers over the existing h-index algorithm. Methods. The study looks at the following 7 indexes that assess a researcher’s scientific output: h-index; g-index (by Leo Egghe); j-index (the Mikhailov index); gh-index; hp-index; ghp-index; w-index. The main method used in the study is analysis; other formal logic methods that were also used in the study include synthesis, classification, deduction, and induction. Results and Discussion. The quantitative and qualitative indicators proposed in the article were used to carry out the compar-ative analysis of the algorithms behind all of the aforementioned indexes. One common feature of all these algorithms is that they all rely on the basic h-index procedure, while the difference is the degree to which each index takes into account all the publications and citations of a specific researcher. It was established that only the algorithms used in the gh-, hp-, and ghp-indexes take into account the entire set of a given author’s publications. Meanwhile, the gh-index should best be regarded as an index of basic publications (it establishes the significance of the researcher’s publications), while the hp-index is best viewed as a measure of the intensity of the researcher’s work. As far as the ghp-index is concerned, it should only be used in situations in which the gh- or hp-indexes produce the same results. Amongst the algorithms for all the indexes reviewed in the article, the ones that best reflect a researcher’s achievements are the gh-, hp-, and ghp-indexes, but they are somewhat more complex than the h-, g- и j-indexes. Conclusion. The analysis we carried out should make it possible to select the best algorithm depending on the complexity of the distribution of citations of published papers in order to achieve the desired level of assessment of a researcher’s publications.

The Difference

English is one of the most common languages in the world, and it has become one of the most important subjects in various countries. The native languages of China and Thailand are not English, and both countries are located in Asia and have many similarities in geographical location and cultural background. The Ministries of Education of the two countries have successively put forward relevant policies to promote the development of English education in the country. The implementation of these policies has promoted the development of college English course teaching in the country. These factors determine that the two countries have similarities in college English course teaching for Non-English majors. However, there are differences in teaching mode and teaching staff in the two countries because of their different national conditions, which make many differences, exist in college English course teaching for non-English majors in the two countries.During the author’s career as an exchange student in Chiang Mai University, she experienced the difference of college English course teaching for non-English majors in Thai universities, so the author did some researches on the basis of the understanding of English course teaching in Thai universities. Therefore, this thesis takes Sino-Thai college English course teaching for non-English majors as the research object—takes Jiujiang University and Chiang Mai University as example, and analyses their present situation from the aspects of the development and evolution, the teaching mode, and teaching staff of college English course teaching for non-English majors. On this basis, the author make a comparative analysis of the English course teaching for non-English majors in two selected universities, then find their respective advantages and disadvantages, and put forward some suggestions on the development of Sino-Thai college English course teaching.

Fetal Fraction

Estimating the fetal fraction of DNA in a pregnant mother’s blood is a risk-free, non-invasive way of predicting fetal aneuploidy. It is a rapidly developing field of study, offering researchers a plethora of different complementary methods. Such methods include examining the differences in methylation profiles between the fetus and the mother. Others include calculating the average allele frequency based on the difference in genotype of a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Differences in the length distribution of DNA fragments between the mother and the fetus as well as measuring the proportion of DNA reads mapping to the Y chromosome also constitute fetal fraction estimation methods. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these main method types are discussed. Moreover, several well-known fetal fraction estimation methods, such as SeqFF, are described and compared with other methods. These methods are amenable to not only the estimation of fetal fraction but also paternity, cancer, and transplantation monitoring studies. NIPT is safe, and should aneuploidy be detected, this information can help parents prepare mentally and emotionally for the birth of a special needs child.

The subject of the research – is a set of organizational-economic relations arising in the process of structural transformation of financial and credit relations in the agricultural business. The purpose of the article is a retrospective analysis of structural transformations of financial and credit relations in the agricultural business, evaluation of the effectiveness and feasibility of the introduction of agricultural receipts as a new instrument of lending to the agricultural business of the regions. Methodology of work – system-structural and comparative analyzes (to determine the effectiveness of the crediting mechanism according to the agricultural receipts of the farmers of the region); monographic (when studying the problems of the functioning of the mechanism of lending to agrarians by agrarian receipts) economic analysis (when carrying out a comparative analysis of the mechanism of classical bank lending to the agrarian business and the mechanism of lending to agrarians according to agrarian receipts); modeling and forecasting (when determining ways to overcome the existing deficiencies in the mechanism of lending to agrarian business entities of the region according to agrarian receipts). The results of the work – a retrospective analysis of the structural transformation of financial and credit relations in the agricultural business was carried out. The mechanism of crediting agrarians according to agrarian receipts and the scale of its distribution in the agrarian business of the region are considered. A comparative analysis of the mechanism of classical bank lending to the agrarian business and the mechanism of lending to agrarians according to agrarian receipts was carried out. In the framework of the pilot project “Agrarian receipts in Ukraine” of the international financial corporation (IFC) in partnership with the Swiss Confederation in Ukraine, the example of the Poltava region defined the effectiveness of the crediting mechanism according to the agrarian receipts of the agrarians of the region. The advantages and disadvantages of the mechanism of crediting the subjects of the agrarian business on agrarian receipts are noted. The ways to overcome the existing shortcomings of the mechanism of crediting the subjects of the agrarian business of the region according to agricultural receipts are determined. Conclusions – according to the results of the conducted research, the effectiveness of the mechanism of lending to the agricultural business of the regions according to agricultural receipts was proved, its advantages and disadvantages were noted, and attention was also focused. Proposed in Art. 7 of Law No. 5479-VI clearly delineate cases and restrictions on the debtor’s reimbursement of expenses incurred by the lender with the acquisition of the right to grow and harvest the pledged crop of agricultural products, which will ensure the principle of equality of parties on economic benefits and distribution of credit risks according to agricultural receipts.

The Right

No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, this book challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. The book explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic. The book asks what is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? The book contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But it also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world. Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, the book demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend.
