Efficacy of new-generation antidepressants assessed with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, the gold standard clinician rating scale: A meta-analysis of randomised placebo-controlled trials
Authors: Hengartner Michael P. , Jakobsen Janus Christian , Sorensen Anders , Plöderl Martin
Published: November 2019

Background: It has been claimed that efficacy estimates based in the Hamilton Depression Rating-Scale (HDRS) underestimate antidepressants true treatment effects due to the instrument’s poor psychometric properties. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy estimates based on the HDRS with the gold standard procedure, the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating-Scale (MADRS).Methods and findings: We conducted a meta-analysis based on the comprehensive dataset of acute antidepressant trials provided by Cipriani et al. We included all placebo-controlled trials that reported continuous outcomes based on either the HDRS 17-item version or the MADRS. We computed standardised mean difference effect size estimates and raw score drug-placebo differences to evaluate thresholds for clinician-rated minimal improvements (clinical significance). We selected 109 trials (n=32,399) that assessed the HDRS-17 and 28 trials (n=11,705) that assessed the MADRS. The summary estimate (effect size) for the HDRS-17 was 0.27 (0.23 to 0.30) compared to 0.30 (0.22 to 0.38) for the MADRS. The difference between HDRS-17 and MADRS was not statistically significant according to both subgroup analysis (p=0.47) and meta-regression (p=0.44). Drug-placebo raw score difference was 2.07 (1.76 to 2.37) points on the HDRS-17 (threshold for minimal improvement: 7 points) and 2.99 (2.24-3.74) points on the MADRS (threshold for minimal improvement: 8 points). Conclusions: Overall there was no difference between the HDRS-17 and the MADRS. These findings suggest that previous meta-analyses that were mostly based on the HDRS did not underestimate the drugs’ true treatment effect as assessed with MADRS, the preferred outcome rating scale. Moreover, the drug-placebo differences in raw scores suggest that treatment effects are indeed marginally small and with questionable importance for the average patient.

Proses Pemilihan Umum dan PILKADA
Authors: Hrp Adewiyatun Rahma , Pulungan Rohayani , Suryani
Published: November 2019

Pemilu dalam negara demokrasi Indonesia adalah suatu proses pergantian kekuasaan secara damai yang dilakukan secara berkala sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip yang digariskan konstitusi. Prinsip-prinsip dalam pemilihan umum yang sesuai dengan konstitusi antara lain prinsip kehidupan ketatanegaraan yang berkedaulatan rakyat (demokrasi) ditandai bahwa setiap warga negara berhak ikut aktif dalam setiap proses pengambilan keputusa kenegaraan. Sebuah negara berbentuk republik memiliki sistem pemerintahan yang tidak pernah lepas dari pengawasan rakyatnya. Adalah demokrasi, sebuah bentuk pemerintahan yang terbentuk karena kemauan rakyat dan bertujuan untuk memenuhi kepentingan rakyat itu sendiri. Demokrasi adalah sebuah proses, artinya sebuah republik tidak akan terhenti di satu bentuk pemerintahan selama rakyat negara tersebut memiliki kemauan yang terus berubah. Ada kalanya rakyat menginginkan pengawasan yang super ketat terhadap pemerintah, tetapi ada pula saatnya rakyat bosan dengan para wakilnya yang terus bertingkah karena kekuasaan yang seakan akan tak ada batasnya. Berbeda dengan monarki yang menjadikan garis keturunan sebagai landasan untuk memilih pemimpin, pada republik demokrasi diterapkan azas kesamaan di mana setiap orang yang memiliki kemampuan untuk memimpin dapat menjadi pemimpin apabila ia disukai oleh sebagian besar rakyat. Pemerintah telah membuat sebuah perjanjian dengan rakyatnya yang ia sebut dengan istilah kontrak sosial. Dalam sebuah republik demokrasi, kontrak sosial atau perjanjian masyarakat ini diwujudkan dalam sebuah pemilihan umum, rakyat dapat memilih siapa yang menjadi wakilnya dalam proses penyaluran aspirasi, yang selanjutnya menentukan masa depan sebuah negara. Indonesia sebagai salah satu negara berkembang dan juga sebagai demokrasi yang yang sedang berusaha mencapai stabilitas nasional dan memantapkan kehidupan politik juga mengalami gejolak-gejolak sosial dan politik dalam proses pemilihan umum. Dalam perkembangan kehidupan politiknya, Indonesia selalu berusaha memperbaharui sistem pemilihan umum baik itu dengan mengadopsi sistem yang ada di dunia Barat (walaupun tidak semuanya bekerja efektif di dalam negeri kita) untuk mencapai stabilitas nasional dan politik.
Merekonstruksi Format Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Ala BPN
Authors: Nurrokhman Arsan
Published: November 2019

Pekerjaan pemberdayaan berada di dua domain utama, yaitu peningkatan kapasitas/agency dan penciptaan peluang/akses. Peningkatan kapasitas dilakukan dengan kegiatan pendidikan masyarakat, sedangkan penciptaan akses dilakukan dengan melakukan fasilitasi dan advokasi. Fokus peran BPN yang paling tepat adalah di kaki pembuatan akses/peluang bagi masyarakat untuk mendapatkan hak-haknya. Sebab, BPN adalah institusi pemerintah yang memiliki kewenangan yang tidak dimiliki oleh masyarakat secara umum. Sedangkan peningkatan kapasitas melalui pendidikan nampaknya akan lebih efektif jika lembaga swadaya masyarakat yang melakukannya
Can we reduce facial biases? Persistent effects of facial trustworthiness on sentencing decisions
Authors: Jaeger Bastian , Todorov Alexander , Evans Anthony M , van Beest Ilja
Published: November 2019

Trait impressions from faces influence many consequential decisions even in situations in which decisions should not be based on a person’s appearance. Here, we test (a) whether people rely on trait impressions when making legal sentencing decisions and (b) whether two types of interventions—educating decision-makers and changing the accessibility of facial information—reduce the influence of facial stereotypes. We first introduced a novel legal decision-making paradigm. Results of a pretest (n = 320) showed that defendants with an untrustworthy (vs. trustworthy) facial appearance were found guilty more often. We then tested the effectiveness of different interventions in reducing the influence of facial stereotypes. Educating participants about the biasing effects of facial stereotypes reduced explicit beliefs that personality is reflected in facial features, but did not reduce the influence of facial stereotypes on verdicts (Study 1, n = 979). In Study 2 (n = 975), we presented information sequentially to disrupt the intuitive accessibility of trait impressions. Participants indicated an initial verdict based on case-relevant information and a final verdict based on all information (including facial photographs). The majority of initial sentences were not revised and therefore unbiased. However, most revised sentences were in line with facial stereotypes (e.g., a guilty verdict for an untrustworthy-looking defendant). On average, this actually increased facial bias in verdicts. Together, our findings highlight the persistent influence of trait impressions from faces on legal sentencing decisions.
On the nature of explanations offered by network science: A perspective from and for practicing neuroscientists
Authors: Bertolero Maxwell A , Bassett Danielle S
Published: November 2019

This article is part a forthcoming Topics in Cognitive Science Special Issue: "Levels of Explanation in Cognitive Science: From Molecules to Culture," Matteo Colombo and Markus Knauff (Topic Editors). Network neuroscience represents the brain as a collection of regions and inter-regional connections. Given its ability to formalize systems-level models, network neuroscience has generated unique explanations of neural function and behavior. The mechanistic status of these explanations and how they can contribute to and fit within the field of neuroscience as a whole has received careful treatment from philosophers. However, these philosophical contributions have not yet reached many neuroscientists. Here we complement formal philosophical efforts by providing an applied perspective from and for neuroscientists. We discuss the mechanistic status of the explanations offered by network neuroscience and how they contribute to, enhance, and interdigitate with other types of explanations in neuroscience. In doing so, we rely on philosophical work concerning the role of causality, scale, and mechanisms in scientific explanations. In particular, we make the distinction between an explanation and the evidence supporting that explanation, and we argue for a scale-free nature of mechanistic explanations. In the course of these discussions, we hope to provide a useful applied framework in which network neuroscience explanations can be exercised across scales and combined with other fields of neuroscience to gain deeper insights into the brain and behavior.
Reports from Twin Earth: Both deep structure and appearance determine the reference of natural kind terms
Authors: Haukioja Jussi , nyquist mons , Jylkkä Jussi
Published: November 2019

Following the influential thought experiments by Hilary Putnam and others, philosophers of language have for the most part adopted semantic externalism concerning natural kind terms. In this paper, we present results from three experiments on the reference of natural kind terms. Our results confirm some standard externalist assumptions, but are in conflict with others: ordinary speakers take both appearance and underlying nature to be central in their categorization judgments. Moreover, our results indicate that speakers’ categorization judgments are gradual, and proportional to the degree of similarity between new samples and familiar, “standard” samples. These findings pose problems for traditional theories, both externalist and internalist.
Between Stars and Stripes: Regions for American Healthcare Reform
Authors: Coyle Brian M
Published: November 2019

Analyzes government administration healthcare reform requires. Defines vast scaling of enterprise to cover the entire US. Reviews management constraints to supervise and learn. Always requires hierarchies. Too many layers pass effectiveness thresholds. Proposed reforms: "Medicare for All," may extend UK NHS-like program to US residents; "Public Option" may extend government insurance to US residents who choose it. Debate thus far about costs. Administrative requirements more critical to success (or failure.) Ignored in some plans. Examine how scale is managed in healthcare delivery, in smaller and some large nations. Administration of major medical reforms across US market will take a decade plus to roll-out. Must be carefully managed, to meet healthcare expectations and maintain political support. Success will exploit regionalisation, seeding new programs in areas with equal population sizes and ethnic compositions. Nationalization of some insurers is better than "putting them out of business," could smooth Public Option surge. But perfection is enemy of good: success will follow Moynihan's rule: show benefits to the privileged to serve the underprivileged.
Big Data de Transporte Público na Análise da Variabilidade de Indicadores da Acessibilidade às Oportunidades de Trabalho e Educação
Authors: Braga Carlos Kauê Vieira
Published: November 2019

Accessibility, defined as the potential of opportunities for interaction, is a key concept in urban planning. Traditionally, the measurement of accessibility relied on methods that used simplified information on transit networks. Recent developments of public transport structured data through Global Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) fostered the creation and standardization of many tools to estimate travel times between origin-destination pairs, feeding the calculation of accessibility indicators. However, researchers are beginning to better understand to what extent differences between scheduled GTFS data and real services can affect accessibility estimates. The aim ofthis dissertation is to analyze the variability of accessibility indicators by public transport to work and education opportunities using location data and smart card data in a large transportation system. This variability of accessibility is investigated through three main hypotheses: 1) there is a difference between measuring it with Scheduled GTFS versus Empiric GTFS; 2) there is a difference between measuring it with Empiric GTFS based on median observed travel times versus based on a dispersion measure of observed travel times on the network; 3) there is a difference between measuring it to different departure times within peak hour. Initially, the proposed method consolidates and integrates one month of big data database, preparing them to the GTFS reconstruction approach. Using geoprocessing techniques, it starts by transforming raw GPS points to a structured transit timetable. The timetable times are then aggregated by 15 minutes intervals and segments between stops, determining the median and 85 percentile travel time to produce two empiric GTFS files. These files, alongside the Scheduled GTFS, are then used to estimate travel time between origin-destination pairs, making possible to estimate accessibility indicators based on scheduled and real-time data at different departure times within peak hour. Smart card data is used to estimate time thresholds to calculate cumulative indicators. The results corroborate the three hypotheses of variability on the spatial distribution of accessibility indicator by work and education activities. This variability is higher for access to jobs opportunities given its strong concentration on the central area of Fortaleza. These results suggest that decision makers take this variability into consideration when they assess the accessibility impacts of future interventions.
Labour Imaginaries in Samuel R. Delany’s Nova
Authors: Rivera Lysa M.
Published: November 2019

This article analyses the place and significance of labour in Samuel Delany’s 1968 novel Nova. It traces the ways in which the novel, albeit conventional in its adherence to the space opera science fiction sub-genre, manages to deviate from mainstream science fiction at the time by recalibrating the genre in order to explore and interrogate the afterlife of European colonialism and the violent legacies of racialized labour that made it possible. More specifically, it traces the ways in which Delany’s speculations into the future of labour extrapolate from not only incipient cybernetic technologies but also real-life histories of violent slave labour under colonialism and Empire.
Work That Causes Harm: Violent Labour and the Ecology of Suffering
Authors: Noiseux Joshua
Published: November 2019

In this article, “violent labour” is framed as work that causes harm: work that is necessarily situated in overlapping global contexts of contemporary technological capitalism, and harm that is always itself ecological, in the senses of distributed, relational, and complex. To explicate these senses, I sketch a political ecological case study of the harmful effects of global high-technology industries through the entirety of a causal spectrum that has mineral extraction in central Africa on one end, office jobs in California in the middle, and globally distributed e-waste processing on the other end. Conventional philosophical, legal, and common-sense perspectives that feature intention as the central salient component of violence are critiqued. A consequentialist and phenomenological alternative is proposed wherein the suffering of sentient beings within broadly conceived relational ecologies replaces the violent intent of discrete actors as the key metric for understanding the impacts of work that causes harm, or violent labour.
Weeks’chiloowew: Resistance and Disidentification in Tomson Highway’s Kiss of the Fur Queen and Jean de Léry’s History of a Voyage to the Land of Brazil
Authors: Olesen Jan
Published: November 2019

This article examines the relationship between symbolic and physical violence toward First Nations peoples in the Americas. It examines the mutual sympathies of symbolic and physical violence, and the interdependence between them. Through an examination of how colonial and postcolonial narratives recount symbolic violence—through problematic narratives—and physical violence—through institutions like residential schools—the article charts how resistance to this violence is both actively mobilized and innate. Developing José Esteban Muñoz’s theory of disidentification, where resistance to colonial influence is neither an acceptance of dominant ideology nor overt resistance or opposition to it, early modern colonial documents are examined, and contemporary fictional texts demonstrate a third way of responding to dominant ideologies.
Effect of anodization treatment on the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of AA2017-T4 aluminum alloy Al–Cu–Mg1
Authors: Debih Ali , Ouakdi El Hadj
Published: November 2019

Aluminum alloy 2017, as one of the aluminum alloys which are used in aircraft structures, is a precipitation-hardened and anodized material. It was heat treated to the natural aging condition (T4). An electrolyte containing sulfuric acid and chromic acid (SCA) was used for anodization treatment of the AA 2017 T4 alloy. The present work investigates the effect of anodized film of 7 μm in thickness on hardness, mechanical strength and fatigue behavior of the alloy. The results showed that the ultimate strength, yield strength and hardness of the heat treated alloy increased by 96, 98.5 and 7.6 % respectively as compared with that of the untreated one. Similar results showed that the hardness of the anodized specimen increased by 12.5 % with a slight decrease by 1.9 and 4.6 % in tensile ultimate and yield strengths respectively as compared with that of the unanodized one. The anodized film affects the fatigue behavior under the rotating–bending fatigue test of R = –1. The effect of anodized film on fatigue lifetime at low and high stress levels is discussed.
Effect of in-situ formation of AlP on solidification of hypereutectic Al–Si alloy
Authors: Chen Shuying , Zhang Lei , Yue Xudong , Chang Guowei
Published: November 2019

The effects of in-situ AlP formation on the solidification process of an Al-20 %Si alloy were studied by examining the change law of the solidification microstructures after the addition of Cu–P alloy to the melt and stirring. During the early stage of stirring, the eutectic Si was clearly refined and Si mainly existed in a point-like shape. During the middle stage of stirring, the typical eutectic microstructure disappeared, and the microstructure consisted of fine primary Si uniformly distributed in the α matrix. Many AlP precipitates with sizes near the critical nucleation radius of primary Si were formed after the Cu–P alloy was dissolved in the Al-20 %Si alloy and stirred. These AlP precipitates became the nuclei of the primary and eutectic Si. The Si-poor layers around the primary Si provided the conditions necessary for the precipitation of the primary α phases when the primary Si grew. For finer primary Si, the distance between the primary Si was reduced, and lower temperature facilitated the formation of a complete α loop or continuous α phases around the primary Si. During the eutectic reaction, the ultrafine AlP caused the eutectic Si phases to nucleate alone and grow; the eutectic α phases grew based on the primary α phases, which resulted in the formation of divorced eutectic microstructures.
Effect of heat treatment and extrusion on wear properties of AZ91-Pr alloy
Authors: Li Ning , Yan Hong
Published: November 2019

The effects of extrusion and T6 heat treatment on the microstructure of AZ91-Pr alloy and its wear properties under different applied loads were investigated. The extrusion refined the grains by dynamic recrystallization and grain breakage. The T6 heat treatment resulted in a more uniform distribution of β-Mg17Al12. Compared with the as-cast alloy, the hardness of the extruded alloy was increased by 18.8 %, and the T6 heat-treated alloy was increased by 58.4 %. The wear rate and friction coefficient of the three alloys increased with load. Under the same conditions, the values of the alloy after T6 treatment are the lowest and the values of the as-cast alloy are the highest. Abrasion and delamination were the wear mechanisms at the load of 30 N, and delamination and oxidation were the wear mechanisms at the load of 60 N. The wear mechanisms at 90 N load were plastic deformation and delamination.
SLOVAKIA AND AUSTRIA – A COMPARISON OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECTORS
Authors: Bartóková Ľudmila
Published: November 2019

Input-output tables with input-output data represent a relatively simple but useful tool to analyze the structure of the economy or undergoing structural changes. These tables enable to quantify direct and indirect linkages within each economy, as well as to study demand or supply relationships between particular sectors. The aim of this paper is to present and compare the main characteristics of 2 selected sectors for Slovakia and Austria. The focus is on the agriculture and food sector and their characteristics using the input output data and analysis. We compared basic input and output multipliers in order to verify the similarities in the position and the development of these sectors in selected countries. Other objectives were analysis of sectors’ backward and forward linkages, “measuring” of their strengths, the identification of key industries and concentration of their impacts. With accordance to our previous research and general trends, we expected a certain decline of importance over the analyzed period of 2000-2014.

Published: November 2019

Education is a key area, the results of which play an important role in the development of each society. The role of education focused on the inclusion of children into school groups, to prepare students to enter the labour market or continue their studies in the context of tertiary education is a sufficient argument to enable beginning to look for answers and possible solutions to the difficult question of the quality of schools. Constant pressure from the public forces them to monitor and improve the provision of public services, and continually enhance their own performance in order to achieve long-term existential security. These facts consequently require a comprehensive measurement of their performance. This opens up opportunities for applying the concept of Value For Money based on the principles of New Public Management. The purpose of the scientific study is to show the potential uses of Value for Money on the example of education. The suggestion of methodology of VFM to measure the performance in education presented in this study shows possibilities to measure, evaluate, monitor and achieve necessary and especially relevant information about the situation of education and subsequent decision-making not only for public forces, but also, it can be the suitable tool for public grammar schools themselves.

In connection with reduction of volumes of transporting of gas through the gas-transport system of Ukraine the issue of the day is the rational loading of the compressor stations taking into account the technical state of gascompressor units. The mathematical model was developed in the article on principles of fuzzy logic, that gave an opportunity to define the technical state of gascompressor units that are working in parallel taking into account such parameters as the productivity of supercharger, expense of fuel gas, pressure and temperature on an entrance, pressure and temperature on the exit of centrifugal supercharger, temperature of products of combustion on an exit from the turbine of LP, frequency of rotation of shaft of the supercharger, temperature and pressure of environment, vibrospeed and vibroacceleration, speed of accumulation product of triggering in agile olive, concentration oxide nitrogen and carbon in exhaust-gas.

The expense of fuel gas, that is measured by facilities of regular automation, depends on many factors such as atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature, physical and chemical properties of fuel gas, technical state and type of turbo-engine. All that grounds to consider the expense of fuel gas an unclear value. Experimental researches on the base of Bohorodchany compressor station showed, that unclear value the "expense of fuel gas" has Gauss function of belonging. Therefore the task of choice of optimal amount of aggregates working in parallel is formalized as a task of integer of the linear programming, the criterion of optimality in that is a cost of fuel gas that consumes the compressor station taking into account the technical state of gascompressor units and unclearness of expense of fuel gas.

Efficiency of the worked out method is confirmed by calculations that are based on industrial data received  during exploitation of Bohorodchany compressor station.

Published: November 2019

At present, it is possible to achieve the desired level of management of any enterprise only if there is complete and up-to-date source information about the current state of affairs in this enterprise. Growing size of an enterprise complicates the collection of necessary information and its processing. The speed and completeness of data collection is also influenced by many other factors associated with the specifics of specific enterprises. In particular, oil and gas companies have a large number of objects located at large distances from each other (including in remote and hard-toreach areas). In addition, these enterprises operate a variety of equipment and uses a large range of different matetechnical values. Quite often, for certain managerial needs, equipment and material and technical values can be moved within a single unit located in a large area or between units of one oil and gas undertaking. In connection with the aforementioned present, the enterprises of the oil and gas complex require the introduction of modern effective systems for collecting information on available material and technical values and their location at a certain point in time. In order to solve this problem, an analysis of modern wireless specialized digital networks was carried out and identified from them, which can be used at enterprises of the oil and gas complex for the monitoring of the location of the objects. Also, the basic characteristics of wireless specialized digital networks (which can be used for systems for monitoring the location of objects), by which they can be classified, are also established. A classification of wireless specialty digital networks (which can be used for objects monitoring systems) is created, which allows the specialists of control and measurement equipment and automation services to select the most appropriate wireless digital network for monitoring the location objects of oil and gas enterprises.

Study Design: A retrospective radiographic analysis.Purpose: The aim of the current study is to assess endplate changes after the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).Overview of Literature: A few recent reports had revealed endplate abnormalities due to PEEK cages, which may lead to nonunions.Methods: A retrospective computed tomography (CT)-based analysis of the endplate cavities and fusion status following PLIFs with PEEK cages was conducted by two independent observers. The term “cavity” was used to describe the endplate changes. The vertebral endplate cavities were assessed according to the size, multiplicity, location, and presence or absence of sclerosis.Results: There were 86 fixed levels in 65 consecutive patients, with a mean age of 35.44±19.60 years. The mean follow-up was 16.5±10.1 months (range, 6–57 months). Definite fusion was seen in 56 levels (65.12%) by observer 1 versus 44 levels (51.16) by observer 2. The strength of agreement was moderate. Endplate cavities were observed in 42 levels (48.84%) by observer 1 versus 47 levels (54.65%) by observer 2, with fair agreement. The strengths of agreement for the locations, multiplicity, and size were moderate, fair, and poor, respectively. Neither age, sex, etiology, levels, nor follow-up period was significantly associated with the presence of cavities. With regard to fusions, the nonunions detected by observer 1 were significantly associated with the presence of cavities (p<0.0001). However, those detected by observer 2 were nearly significant (p=0.05).Conclusions: There was a high rate of unfavorable radiographic findings in the form of endplate cavities in PLIF cases with PEEK cages. A more comprehensive classification for the assessment of fusions and endplate cavities should be formulated. We strongly recommend further CT-based studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up periods.

The article explores and systematizes the strategic aspects of the methodology of using the work of internal auditors when assessing the entity’s ability for doing business as a going concern. The main principles of the internal auditors’ work are formulated. Methodological and methodological approaches to the direct use of the internal audit of a business entity during the conduct of procedures to determine the adequacy of the use of the going concern principle by management personnel when preparing financial statements are further elaborated.
Studies devoted to assessing the risk of activity termination in conducting external audit procedures using the results of internal audit or the internal audit work can significantly reduce the scopes of audit procedures without affecting their quality.
The assessment of the application of the going concern principle as one of the key phases of the audit, in particular in the aspect of internal audit, requires further consideration and adaptation to current practice.
The purpose of the article is to study and develop methodological and methodological approaches to use of internal auditors’ work in assessing the entity’s ability for doing business as a going concern.
A characteristic feature of the audit of doing business as a going concern is large scopes of information and issues that need to be investigated separately or jointly in order to adequately assess the appropriateness of applying the assessment of the entity’s ability for doing business as a going concern by management personnel, which requires the use of the work of internal auditors when assessing the entity’s ability for doing business as a going concern.
It is argued that the recommendations on the use of internal audit work in the aspect of testing going concern, provided by international auditing standards, require clarification of the task statement and the nature of work that can be done with internal audit.

In Ukraine, the culture of contracting outsourcing services is not yet fully developed, which in turn leads to a fuzzy understanding of the responsibility of the parties to such relationships, and therefore the security of their partner cooperation in the domestic market. The purpose of the research is to develop the main provisions of the Contract on outsourcing services as a guarantee of the responsibility of the outsourcing company for violating the confidentiality, timeliness, completeness and quality of the work performed in order to ensure the economic security of the enterprise-customer of such services. The structure of the Model Agreement on outsourcing services (which is the most comprehensive, expanded and systematically provides the system of liability of the parties to the agreement) is proposed, as well as the conditions that reduce the risk of disclosure of information constituting confidential information and trade secrets in the course of the use of maintenance services accounting outsourcing company. The results of the research substantiated the expediency of conducting a number of organizational measures among the employees of the outsourcing company (getting acquainted with the clauses of the Agreement regarding the non-disclosure of commercial secrets, ranking the levels of access to customer information, etc.), which contributes to the maximum protection of all types of information and, accordingly, the quality of provision outsourcing services for the business efficiency. In general, the proposed instruments contribute to the precise regulation of partnership relationships when outsourcing to the development of a culture of drafting such agreements, which in turn leads to a clear understanding of the responsibilities of business parties, which is the foundation of the investment attractiveness of domestic business entities for the global community.
