Effective communication of horticultural information over long distances requires the ability to present and receive not only text-based information but also images, sounds, and live-action video. Until recently, the Internet enabled users to communicate in each of these four modes, but not simultaneously. However, as a result of the World-Wide Web (WWW) project and the creation of NCSA Mosaic software, Internet users are able to access and deliver practically any form of communication, as long as it can be digitized. Information from around the world on literally thousands of subjects is now available 24 hours a day. Opportunities to communicate with the general public, primary and secondary science students, or practicing horticulturists are no longer limited by publication delays, travel distances, or media limitations.

It is generally observed throughout the world that in the last two decades, while the average speed of computers has almost doubled in a span of around eighteen months, the average speed of the network has doubled merely in a span of just eight months! In order to improve the performance, more and more researchers are focusing their research in the field of computers and its related technologies. World Wide Web (WWW) is one of the services provided by the Internet medium for sharing of information. As a result, millions of applications run on the Internet and cause increased network traffic and put a great demand on the available network infrastructure. With the increase in the number of Internet users, it is necessary to enhance the speed. This paper addresses the above issues and proposes a novel integrated approach by reviewing the works related to Web caching and Web pre-fetching.

The Internet is a set of rules for computer communications that has created easy access to electronic mail, electronic mailing lists, and the World Wide Web. The "pediatric Internet" consists of a growing collection of Internet resources that deal specifically with the health care of the young. Locating this information, judging its quality, and determining its appropriate use presents difficulties, but the ubiquity of the Internet makes it imperative for child health professionals to learn the skills necessary to access and provide information via this medium. The Internet will be used increasingly for scientific publishing, the original purpose of the World Wide Web. This article presents basic definitions for the Internet, some characteristics of the pediatric Internet, guidance on how to locate information, and what the future of the pediatric Internet holds.

Because of the exponential growth of the internet and ICT, we, as promoters of education, should always be aware of the changes that society is endorsing outside of the classroom. The student is no longer the same introverted child that studied in the workbenches years ago. Today students belong to a time with smartphones, tablets, and a wide range of new portable technologies. Today's students are used to seeking different forms and ways of motivation in and out of the classroom, and they want the teaching and learning process to integrate with society and its latest technologies. The number of internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2014. The first billion was reached in 2005, the second billion in 2010, the third billion in 2014. This means access to the world wide web is increasing rapidly. In 2020, the percentage will rise again, and consequently, an incredibly large number of people, youngsters and adults, will have access to the internet. The slogan that drives the world today is anywhere… anytime!

The World Wide Web, which has been widely implemented for roughly two decades, is humankind's most impressive effort to aggregate and organize knowledge to date. The medical community was slower to embrace the Internet than others, but the majority of clinicians now use it as part of their everyday practice. For the practicing oncologist, there is a daunting quantity of information to master. For example, a new article relating to cancer is added to the MEDLINE database approximately every 3 minutes. Fortunately, Internet resources can help organize the deluge of information into useful knowledge. This manuscript provides an overview of resources related to general medicine, oncology, and social media that will be of practical use to the practicing oncologist. It is clear from the vast size of the Internet that we are all life-long learners, and the challenge is to acquire “just-in-time” information so that we can provide the best possible care to our patients. The resources that we have presented in this article should help the practicing oncologist continue along the path of transforming information to knowledge to wisdom.

The advent of the Internet has forever changed the way people interact, communicate, and share information. The World Wide Web allows Internet users to send a letter in a matter of seconds, to instantly find out the latest sports scores and stock prices, or to learn of breaking world news. The Internet even allows people to have realtime conversations with other Internet users anywhere around the world. The Internet has also provided users a medium through which they can engage in any number of illicit acts. One of the more popular illicit acts, engaged in by millions of Internet users, involves trading music files across file sharing networks. Users accomplish this file sharing, or pirating, by copying the music from a compact disc onto their computers and uploading a file of the copied music onto a network created by software such as Kazaa or Napster. An infinite number of other users can then access this network, providing them an instant ability to copy the file of that song to their own computers.

С момента наступления эпохи Web 2.0 и по сей день в Интернете востребованы истории о всевозможных ужасах, в обилии представленные на его просторах в виде различных жанров и форм и именуемые самими пользователями крипипастой. Но, как это ни парадоксально, существуя в виде самодостаточной традиции сетевой культуры более пятнадцати лет и продолжая развиваться, данное явление до сих пор остается слабо изученным. Чтобы разобраться в этом обилии присутствующих в Интернете страшных историй и родственных им явлений, мы были вынуждены ввести два интерферирующих понятия: «сетевой “страшный” фольклор» и «“страшный” фольклор в Сети», а также исследовать повсеместно употребляемый интернет-пользователями в отношении содержимого обоих понятий термин «крипипаста». По нашему определению, «“страшный” фольклор в Сети» - это все представленные в Интернете и каким-либо образом ассоциирующиеся со страшным у пользователей и/или исследователей произведения народного творчества как сетевого, так и несетевого происхождения. Сетевым «страшным» фольклором мы назвали пласт собственно интернет-фольклора, к которому относятся подпадающие под его определение произведения, тематически и функционально связанные с переживанием страха, а также все возникшие в Интернете пародии на них, рьяно эксплуатирующие макабрическую стилистику оригиналов, но на деле лишь прикидывающиеся пугающими. Что же касается термина «крипипаста», то, суммируя множество пользовательских трактовок, мы выделили три самых распространенных его понимания: 1) как жанра «страшного» интернет-фольклора; 2) как традиции сетевого «страшного» повествования; 3) как семантической категории, включающей в себя все каким-либо образом связанное со «страшным» в Интернете. From the beginning of the era of Web 2.0 and to this day, stories about all kinds of horrors are in demand on the Internet. They appear in abundance on the World Wide Web in a wide variety of genres and forms, called “creepypasta” by users themselves. But, paradoxically, this phenomenon, which has existed as a self-sufficient tradition of network culture for about fifteen years and continuing to develop, remains insufficiently explored. In this article, we offer two intersecting definitions of this material: “scary” folklore on the Web and the web’s “scary” folklore, and we also explore the term “creepypasta,” which is generally used by Internet users in relation to both phenomena. “‘Scary’ folklore on the Web” indicates all works of folk art, both of web and non-web origin, presented on the Internet and perceived by users and researchers as related to what is frightening. “The web’s ‘scary’ folklore” designates Internet folklore itself that is thematically and functionally related to the experience of fear, as well as Internet parodies which energetically exploit the macabre style of the originals, but in reality only pretend to be frightening. As for the term “creepypasta,” we sum up three of its most common understandings: 1) as a genre of the web’s “scary” folklore; 2) as the web tradition of “scary” narration; 3) as a semantic category including everything in any way connected with the “scary” on the Internet.

The study will to identify the characteristics of the manifestation of victim behavior and counteract the commission of sexual violence on the Internet by influencing the behavior of potential victims. The development of information technology (as well as, sometimes, unstable general mental state of society) makes Internet users a vulnerable category concerning the offenses committed on the Internet. Thus, so far, there have been several crimes that are not enshrined in criminal procedure law but often occur in everyday life and pose a real threat to each individual and the values of society as a whole. The peculiarity of committing violence on the Internet is the voluntary entry into such a relationship of a person who, as a consequence, finds himself/herself in the role of a victim. It is not uncommon for a person to subconsciously provoke violence by his/her actions, so in-depth study of a person's victim behavior on the Internet is an essential aspect of developing a mechanism to prevent violence on the World Wide Web. That is why the topic covered in the study is relevant. The methodological basis of the work consists, in particular, analysis, synthesis, dialectical method, statistical method, and observation method. The result of this work is to characterize the relevant behavior on the Internet as a victim, as well as to offer effective ways to prevent sexual violence on the Internet by influencing the behavior of potential victims.
