You'll need to provide more context. Perhaps a circuit diagram? We don't have your homework materials in front of us to look at, and we can't read minds!

So in that attachment they are looking at Thevenin equivalents. Despite the language issue, it should be obvious that ##V_{TH}## is the Thevenin voltage, ##I_N## would be the Norton current which is also the short circuit current ##I_{cc} (presumably the "cc" is an abbreviation for "short circuit" in that language).
