In this article, we present a selection of Internet resources covering subject areas found in standard medical education curricula. Basic sciences and clinical resource sites are explored. We also review Web sites that offer useful materials that can be downloaded to handheld devices such as palmtop computers, smartphones, and portable media players. We judged the sites based on their potential to enhance the learning process, provide practice questions or study guides for examinations, or aid in the preparation of manuscripts. Medical students, residents, educators, and practitioners of podiatric medicine and surgery who require a quick reference source to either the basic science foundations of podiatric medicine or the clinical side of basic medicine, may find this paper useful.

This research is concentrated in the increasing of education issue studies using the management of potential data on Websites for Communicating Research in the field of Education. This research relates with several web sites, i.e: https://puspendik.kemdikbud.go.id/hasil-un/, and https://dapo.dikdasmen.kemdikbud.go.id/sekolah/ Furthermore, this research is also purposed in order to elucidate the potentials and challenges of internet data for education to demonstrate a selection of relevant literature so that a wide spectrum of topics can be reached. A part of this data represents a large and increasing part of everyday life which sometimes could not be measured. The data used are a timely data which are potentially following a factual process, moreover they typically involve large numbers of observations, and they allow for flexible conceptual forms and experimental settings. In this paper, the data that are gained will be managed such that some academic articles are produced. Some data at the Internet had successfully been applied to a very wide range of detecting education issues (e.g. spatial analysis for relation a number of male and female students and score of mathematics and foreign languages test), we review the current literature attempts to incorporate the Internet data into the mainstream of scholarly empirical research in our research and guide the reader through this Special Issue. We provide some insights and a brief overview of the current state of research.

The internet makes it possible to search in an endless variety of information. However, not all information is valid and reliable. Googling the term schizophrenia gives over 10 million hits. Among these hits there are some high quality websites, but also many sites with useless or even misleading or false information. With this workshop the editors-in-chief of the website www.psychiatrynet.eu will present search strategies for the participants, which they can apply in their daily practice. In June 2008 the English version of www.psychiatrynet.eu has been launched modelled after the Dutch website www.psychiatrienet.nl (launched in 2001). The lead of the website is ‘An independent selection of high quality links by your colleagues’. Independency is a basic value and the financial support comes from the Foundation of the Netherlands and Flemish Journal of Psychiatry. The current editorial board consists of over 50 mainly Dutch and Flemish psychiatrists, who select links and provide a short description of the links. In the forthcoming years members from different European countries will be selected to join the European editorial board. The goal is to become a key website for psychiatrists in Europe.

Purpose – The internet provides a mechanism by which buyers and sellers meet in order to exchange goods and services online with the utmost convenience. However, there are many risks associated with the internet which, if left unattended, could continue deterring the adoption of e-commerce. These risks ultimately diminish online consumer trust in e-commerce. Web assurance models have been designed in an attempt to encourage online consumer trust through assurance. Unfortunately, many of these models have been inadequate in certain areas and this research aims to improve on them. Design/methodology/approach – It presents a comprehensive empirical survey on trustworthiness issues and e-commerce assurance models and proposes a new compliance-based e-commerce assurance model that integrates adaptive legislation, adaptive e-commerce-related standards and cooperative rating. The intelligent cooperative rating is based on the analytic hierarchy process and page-ranking techniques. Findings – Some findings of this research study influence the thinking that some of the untrustworthy sites are posing as trustworthy sites because they display web seals. The findings can be used as a reference guide to understand e-commerce assurance models, as well as the effectiveness of ensuring the trustworthiness of these models. Practical implications – The research presents deployment analysis on the use of the proposed compliance model through real life scenarios categorized as trustworthy and untrustworthy e-commerce web sites. Originality/value – This research is relevant to information management and computer security in e-commerce as a development of a newly proposed e-commerce assurance model for trustworthiness safety inspections and knowledge generation as a reference guide to understand e-commerce trustworthiness in general and e-commerce assurance models in particular detail.

Особлива увага приділяється широкому використанню інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій у реаліях сьогодення в усіх галузях життєдіяльності населення різних країн світу та вікових категорій.Указано на зацікавленість наукової спільноти у вивченні окресленої теми. Важливим є дослідження в групах медичних працівників та студентів, що зумовлено їх частим звертанням до інтернет-джерел для задоволення професійних потреб в актуальній інформації, яка швидко оновлюється. Автор звер-тає увагу на вплив інтернет-мереж на фізичне та психічне здоров’я користувачів. Так, зазначається, що інформаційні джерела можуть призводити до підвищення тривожності, зниження уваги, розладу пам’яті, депресії.Метою статті є здійснення аналізу популярних серед студентів-медиків інтернет-ресурсів та їх впливу на формування інтернет-адикції в представників цих академічних груп.Методи. Для вирішення поставлених завдань використано комплекс теоретичних методів дослідження: вивчення і аналіз психологічної літератури з теми статті, узагальнення і систематизацію мате-ріалів, що дало можливість охарактеризувати основні аспекти, за якими ведуться наукові дослідження явищ інтернет-залежності. Результати. Проаналізовано популярні інтернет-ресурси та їх використання як чинників формування інтернет-залежності в студентів. зазначено, що поодиноке використання інтернет-ресурсів, спрямованих на медичну галузь, не може призвести до інтернет-залежності (за умови правильної організації та використання). З’ясовано, що інтернет-залежність негативно впливає на успішність студентів та професійність майбутніх лікарів.Висновки. Для зменшення наслідків впливу Інтернету на його користувачів, зокрема студентів-медиків, необхідною є комплексна організаційна робота самих студентів, викладачів та кураторів курсів. Основним завданням є скорочення часу перебування здобувачів освіти в інтернет-просторі для розв’язку навчальних завдань, що дасть змогу зберегти психічне здоров’я майбутніх лікарів та запобігти зниженню якості надання медичних послуг.Ключові слова: медична інформація, навчання, психічне захворювання, тривожність, увага, пам’ять, депресія, інтернет-ресурс, інтернет-залежність, студент.
