This article is part of an investigation which used the institutional ethnography of Dorothy Smith, aiming to describe women's process of choice in planned home birth. It used interviews held with 17 women who gave birth at home between 2008 and 2010 in Rio de Janeiro. We selected one category: information - a step for the option for planned home birth. The category was constructed based on six subcategories: knowing persons who had a home birth; knowing persons with negative experiences; the Internet as a source of information; books as a source of information, information from health professionals; and, the exchanging of information between women. The information acts as a network of knowledge, reports and experiences in their symbolic dimensions, favoring the raising of consciousness and the social organization of support. These knowledges and practices are a foundation for a social understanding and the women's discourse in the option for planned home birth.

Media use plays an important role in the social, emotional, and cognitive development of young individuals and accounts for a large portion of their time. For this reason it is important to understand the variables that contribute to improve the use of the Internet as a source of information and knowledge in formal and informal contexts. How is it possible to exploit the huge potential of this tool to help people learn? What are the cognitive and social characteristics that help individuals experience the Internet without being overwhelmed by its negative effects? What skills are needed to select and manage information and communication? What type of Internet use creates new relationships and ways of learning? A sample of 191 subjects was examined to determine certain characteristic differences between subjects with high and low levels of Internet use. The results show that individuals with high levels of Internet use have higher extroversion and openness scores. The research analyses the use of the Internet in informal contexts to determine the benefits that may result from Internet use in education which may include the development of the skill set necessary to evaluate information critically and analytically and build independent attitudes. El uso de Internet ofrece un importante espacio para el desarrollo social, emocional y cognitivo de los jóvenes y ocupa gran parte de su tiempo libre. Por lo tanto, es muy importante observar algunas variables que contribuyen a mejorar su uso como fuente de información y conocimiento en contextos formales e informales. ¿Cómo, entonces, aprovechar el enorme potencial de esta herramienta para ayudar a las personas en su aprendizaje?, ¿cuáles son las características cognitivas y sociales que ayudan a utilizarla sin que les afecte negativamente?, ¿qué habilidades se necesitan para seleccionar y gestionar la información y la comunicación?, ¿qué tipos de usos de Internet suscitan aprendizaje y nuevas y diferentes relaciones? En una muestra de 191 sujetos se examinan las diferentes características entre los sujetos con alto y bajo nivel de uso. Los resultados muestran que los individuos con alto nivel de uso de Internet tienen una puntuación más alta en lo que se refiere a las características de extroversión y apertura. La investigación se basa en un marco teórico que parte del análisis del uso de en un contexto informal para llegar a una reflexión sobre las posibilidades y ventajas que pueden derivarse de su uso en la educación, y del conjunto de habilidades que es necesario desarrollar para utilizar y evaluar la información de manera crítica y analítica y para construir una mente abierta y una actitud independiente.

BACKGROUND: Statistics shows a decrease in the birth rate in Russia. This is alarming fact that obliges to take some measures, including preventive ones. Since the reproductive health of students will determine demographic indicators for many years to come, it is very important to choose methods of prevention in one direction or another, taking into account modern technical trends and hobbies of young people. AIM: To explore the knowledge of students of different specialties in matters of reproductive health, reproductive culture. To suggest the way of preventive measures based on the data obtained. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved students from the Ural, Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. 537 questionnaires were processed. The questionnaire indicated the social status of the participants (gender, age, university profile). According to the latter criterion, the sample was divided into four groups: natural sciences, medical sciences, technical sciences, and humanities. An anonymous survey was conducted in the “Google form”. The respondents answered questions about the most pressing problems of reproductive health and reproductive culture. RESULTS: 64% of the respondents assess their reproductive health as good; the most popular source of information on contraception for university youth is the Internet. According to the analysis of the data obtained, in the event of an unwanted pregnancy, only 24% of the women surveyed would have the pregnancy kept, which may indicate a low reproductive culture of students. CONCLUSION: To take attention to reproductive health and prevention issues among students in accessible terms, blogging on social networks by specialists in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, urology and andrology, senior medical students or clinical residents can be proposed.

This chapter examines how the rapid diffusion of social media and Mobile Web is impacting personal healthcare management amongst those living with chronic disease. Despite a recent increase in research in this area (Moorhead, et al., 2013), evaluating the “social” still poses challenges to conventional notions of the “Internet empowered” patient and the best ways to support the management of chronic disease (Østbye, et al., 2005). The chapter argues that there is a need for advancing conceptual thinking on how health and IT are now interacting at the level of individual patients/citizens and how this is continuing to transform health professional-patient interactions (Glasgow, et al., 2008). By drawing on examples of e-health research, the chapter illustrates how notions of the “social” and “technology” have evolved over time from medically centred e-health through to patient-centred e-health. The chapter considers how this evolution may lead to a future focus on community-centred personal healthcare of chronic disease supported by “social” e-health tools, applications, and services that continue to blur the more conventional boundaries between health professionals, patients, and their social networks.

The article substantiates the need to use Internet monitoring as a priority source of information in countering extremism. Various approaches to understanding the defi nition of the category of «operational search», «law enforcement» monitoring of the Internet are analysed, the theoretical development of the implementation of this category in the science of operational search is investigated. The goals and subjects of law enforcement monitoring are identifi ed.

In the course of the study hermeneutic, formal-logical, logical-legal and comparative-legal methods were employed, which were used both individually and collectively in the analysis of legal norms, achievements of science and practice, and development of proposals to refi ne the conduct of operational-search measures on the Internet when solving extremist crimes. The author’s defi nition of «operational-search monitoring» of the Internet is provided.
