With increasing concern about Internet intelligence, this paper proposes concepts of the Internet and Internet subsystem IQs over search engines. Based on human IQ calculations, the paper first establishes a 2014 Internet Intelligence Scale and designs an intelligence test bank regarding search engines. Then, an intelligence test using such test bank is carried out on 50 typical search engines from 25 countries and regions across the world. Meanwhile, another intelligence test is also conducted in the human age groups of 6, 12 and 18 years using the same test bank and rules. Next, the absolute IQ and the relative IQ of the 53 test subjects are calculated in accordance with the test results. Finally, the data mining method is applied to find out the features of search engines reflected in the Internet intelligence test and the intelligence difference between search engines and human beings.

Assessment Of Intelligence

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is the most widely used intelligence test in the world. Now in its fifth edition, the WISC-V has been translated and adapted for use in nearly a dozen countries. Despite its popularity, numerous concerns have been raised about some of the procedures used to develop and validate translated and adapted versions of the test around the world. The purpose of this article is to survey the most salient of those methodological and statistical limitations. In particular, empirical data are presented that call into question the equating procedures used to validate the WISC-V Spanish, suggesting cautious use of that instrument. It is believed that the issues raised in the present article will be instructive for school psychologists engaged in the clinical assessment of intelligence with the WISC-V Spanish and with other translated and adapted versions around the world.

El periodismo se ocupa de lo que sucede. Pero también se ocupa o puede ocuparse de lo que ha sucedido, va a suceder y piensa la gente. De entre los miles y miles de acontecimientos que ocurren cada día en el mundo, los relacionados con la salud tienen una gran importancia para los seres humanos. Internet ha impuesto el dominio de la inmediatez -aquí y ahora-, que produce informaciones de salud sin el análisis que aporta las claves para entender lo que sucede y podrá suceder. Con la anticipación, el periodismo analiza en profundidad las informaciones pretéritas y presentes, para descubrir implicaciones. Observa causas, averigua nuevos datos, busca nuevos enfoques, predice consecuencias. El periodismo de anticipación no se basa en las conjeturas o profecías del periodista. Suministra información de antecedentes de lo no sucedido, pero cuyos genes mediáticos impregnan la realidad presente. Busca el interés humano en los acontecimientos de salud futuros, suministrando información de calidad, y procura dar respuesta al cuándo ocurrirá y qué consecuencias acarreará para los receptores, su familia, el medio ambiente y el mundo. La anticipación se convierte así en una herramienta periodística que debe unir periodismo y salud.Palabras clave: periodismo; salud; Agustín de Hipona; internet; inmediatez; periodismo de anticipación.AbstractJournalism aim is to inform about what happens. But it also deals -or may deal – with what have happened, will happen and what people think. Among all the events that occur every day in the world, the ones relatedto health have a great importance for human beings. The internet has brought the domain of immediacy – here and now- that produces information about health without analysing the keys to understand whathappen and what could happen. With the anticipation, journalism analyses in depth past and present information, to discover implications. It observes the causes, finds out new data and looks for new approaches and predicts consequences. Anticipation journalism isn’t base on conjectures o journalist’s prophecies. Provides background information on facts that didn’t occur, but whose media genes permeatepresent reality. It seeks human interest on future health events, providing quality information and trying to respond when it would happen and what consequences will bring to the receivers, their family, environmentand the world. This way, anticipation becomes a journalistic tool that join journalism and health.Keywords: journalism; health; Augustine of Hippo; internet, immediacy; anticipation journalism

The Internet, which is an information super high way, has practically compressed the world into a cyber colony through various networks and other Internets. The development of the Internet and the emergence of the World Wide Web (WWW) as common vehicle for communication and instantaneous access to search engines and databases. Search Engine is designed to facilitate search for information on the WWW. Search Engines are essentially the tools that help in finding required information on the web quickly in an organized manner. Different search engines do the same job in different ways thus giving different results for the same query. Search Strategies are the new trend on the Web.

Over the last decade, the Internet has emerged as an important channel for marketing products and/or services to consumers around the world. Interactive Web sites, advertising submitted to search engines, mass e-mailings, and a broad range of other innovative virtual-based marketing techniques are utilized to build interest in an organization’s current and/or future offering(s). Similarly, individuals use the Internet to seek out information, to buy and sell products/services, and to communicate with their friends, relatives and associates. Throughout the complex matrix that forms current Internet communications, an enormous number of “gathering spots” have developed in recent years where individuals and organizations, alike, can share common interests and meet differentiated user needs and wants. These “gathering spots” are called virtual communities.

Global Study

More people in the world now have access to the internet than access to justice. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), only 46 per cent of human beings live under the protection of the law, whereas more than 50 per cent of people are now active users of the internet in one way or another. Annually, one billion people are said to need ‘basic justice care’ but in ‘many countries, close to 30 per cent of problem-owners do not even take action’. As for public funding of legal and court services, it was found in a leading global study of legal aid, involving 106 countries, that around one-third ‘have not yet enacted specific legislation on legal aid’ and that the ‘demand for legal aid for civil cases is largely unmet in most countries.’4 Meanwhile, the courts of some jurisdictions are labouring under staggering backlogs—for example, 100 million cases in Brazil (as noted), and 30 million in India. Even in those legal systems that are described as ‘advanced’, court systems are under-resourced, and the resolution of civil disputes invariably takes too long, costs too much, and the process is unintelligible to ordinary people. The broad case for change is self-evident—in varying degrees, the court systems of our world are inaccessible to the great majority of human beings.

Image Enhancing

Aims and Objectives: Performance- and Image-Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) refer to all known forms of substances, that can enhance either the morphology or the physiological performance or both simultaneously. The exponential rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) for PIEDs is a major public issue, for which control protocols are to be deployed.Materials and Methods: It would be a waste of time and resources to track and/or shut down all PIED-promoting websites one by one. Cyberspace is vast; the PIED “product managers” will always adapt to surveillance-control policies over their illegitimate online businesses. A more rational approach would be to track, challenge, and tackle the same resources upon which PIED electronic commerce is based: the infrastructure of the World Wide Web (the Internet).Results: Concerning PIED e-commerce, the main resources are Google and AOL (search engines); YouTube, Wikipedia, and Facebook (social media sites); and Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay (major e-commerce websites).Conclusion: Illegal PIED e-commerce became a major public problem. The major drivers are the Internet search engines, social media sites, and major e-commerce websites. Effective protocols toward these resources would hinder any future progress of this illegitimate worldwide phenomenon.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(4) 2016 88-93

BACKGROUND The Internet has become an established source for health information. The number of individuals using the Internet to search for health information, ranging from healthy lifestyle advice to treatment and diseases, continues to grow. Scholars have emphasized the need to give greater voice and influence to health consumers. Hong Kong, being one of the most technologically advanced and connected cities in the world, has one of the highest Internet penetration rates in the world. Given the dearth of research in an Asian context, Hong Kong is an excellent platform to study individuals’ perceptions (eg, benefits and limitations on seeking health information online and how the information is used) on health information seeking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to study individuals’ perceptions on health information seeking and to document their Internet information–seeking behaviors. METHODS Five focus groups (n=49) were conducted from November 2015 to January 2016 with individuals across different age groups (18 years or above). Focus group contents were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. RESULTS Older (55+ years) and less educated respondents were less likely to use the Internet to search for health information. Among individuals who obtained health information via the Internet, regardless of the severity of the health issue, the Internet was always the first source for information. Limited doctor consultation time and barriers to accessing professional health services were the main reasons for using the Internet. Convenience and coverage were regarded as the main advantages, whereas credibility and trustworthiness of health information were noted as limitations. The use of Web-based health information varied among individuals; hence, the implications on the doctor-patient relationship were mixed. CONCLUSIONS The prevalent and increasing use of the Internet for health information seeking suggests the need for health care professionals to understand how it can be optimally utilized to improve health outcomes. Strategies for communicating and disseminating credible health information in a form that users can understand and use are essential. Due to the rapid technological and related behavioral changes, online health information seeking and its effects need to be closely monitored.

Google ist nicht nur ein weltumspannender Konzern, der wie kein zweiter für die Macht einer Suchmaschine im Besonderen und des Internets im Allgemeinen einsteht. Barbara Cassin analysiert in diesem Gespräch aus dem Jahr 2009 die Rhetorik und das Sendungsbewusstsein von Google, das darin besteht, »die gesamte Information der Welt zu organisieren«. Dieser von Cassin als global, gewalttätig und total charakterisierte Anspruch beeinflusst auch zeitgenössische Vorstellungen von Demokratie, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Dass dieser Einfluss nicht nur positive Effekte hat, wird im Verlauf des Gesprächs deutlich. </br></br>Google is not only a worldwide enterprise that represents like no other the power of search engines and the Internet in general. In this interview from 2009 Barbara Cassin analyzes Google's rhetoric and sense of mission, which is “to organize all the information in the world.” Cassin characterizes this claim as global, violent and total, and shows that it also influences contemporary notions of democracy, culture and science. In the course of the conversation, it becomes clear that this influence not only has positive effects.
