The paper presents selected problems related to the quality assessment from the statistical perspective of survey data based on Internet sources. Internet access is consequently expanding all over the world. In parallel with the running development of other new technologies, it is pervading daily life and business activities more and more. It also has influenced surveys practice to a large extent as a research tool for collecting both primary and secondary data, and it also challenges surveys to research the Internet population. Moreover, as the Internet and its entities are able to register all activities that are performed on the web, issues related to big data and organic data processing as well as their applications arise. As a result of decreasing response rates and increasing survey costs, Internet data collection is constantly growing. Due to many advantages, Internet surveys are used widely and this process seems to be inevitable. However, it needs to be emphasised that Internet surveys are developing in practice faster than the methodology in this area. Hence, a lot of problems can be identified, especially when considering the quality of data based on Internet sources. The following issues are discussed as the most far-reaching in the prism of statistical survey methodology: determination of the sampling frame, self-selection and related estimates bias, as well as under/over-coverage.

A crescente preocupação da sociedade a respeito de questões ambientais está desencadeando certa pressão nas organizações. Cobram-se práticas responsáveis e rejeitam as agressões ambientais, estimulando a busca de alternativas ambientalmente corretas. Aliados a essa realidade surge um “novo” turista, com escolhas ambientalmente responsáveis e que preferem montar seus próprios roteiros de viagem utilizando a internet como base para suas pesquisas. Percebe-se então uma ligação importante entre as novas tecnologias e o Ecomarketing no desenvolvimento do turismo, assim, esse artigo surge da falta de estudos sobre o uso de estratégias de Marketing ecológico nas empresas turísticas de Parnaíba-PI e suas divulgações utilizando os recursos das novas tecnologias buscando investigar inicialmente os websites das empresas turísticas de Parnaíba para divulgação de seus serviços analisando a existência do uso de Ecomarketing nos mesmos. Espera-se com isso que esse trabalho contribua para uma visão ambientalmente responsável nas empresas turísticas de Parnaíba, aliando as preocupações ambientais com estratégia de marketing que influenciam positivamente no produto, preço, distribuição e promoção de seus serviços e estimule a maior visibilidade das empresas turísticas da cidade de Parnaíba na Web. Como metodologia, foram utilizados levantamento bibliográfico e estatístico e pesquisa exploratória com observação informal e aplicação de questionários cujas perguntas buscavam investigar se empresários e gestores conhecem as estratégias ecológicas. A partir do estudo proposto, identificou-se um despreparo das empresas no uso das tecnologias e no aproveitamento do Ecomarketing para desenvolver tanto seus negócios quanto o turismo local.

New technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, machine intelligence, and the Internet of Things are seeing repetitive tasks move away from humans to machines. Humans cannot become machines, but machines can become more human-like. The traditional model of educating workers for the workforce is fast becoming irrelevant. There is a massive need for the retooling of human workers. Humans need to be trained to remain focused in a society which is constantly getting bombarded with information. The two basic elements of physical and mental capacity are slowly being taken over by machines and artificial intelligence. This changes the fundamental role of the global workforce.

Consumers pay for hundreds of goods and services each year, but across households and across goods, consumers do not choose to pay the same way. This paper posits that payment choices depend in part on consumers' propensity to adopt new technologies and in part on the nature of the transaction. To test this hypothesis, this paper analyzes consumer's payment instrument use at the point of sale and for bill payment. The sample includes consumers surveyed in 2001, who are primarily users of the Internet. The results indicate that consumers who use new technology or computers are more likely to use electronic forms of payment, such as debit cards and electronic bill payments. Particularly, the use of direct deposit is a significant predictor of electronic payment use. Furthermore, the results indicate that payment choice depends on the characteristics of the transaction, such as the transaction value, the physical characteristics of the point of sale, and a bill's frequency and value variability.

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) focuses on reduction of nutrients in individual water bodies. Innovative drainage filter technologies currently being tested in Denmark could facilitate nutrient reductions at the sub-river basins and catchment levels. The implementation strategy for these technologies, however, remains a challenge. Using both primary and secondary data, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of the role of these technologies in implementation of the WFD in Denmark. Concepts of impact assessment are used to identify the most suitable approach for incorporating these technologies into environmental measures based on a three-faceted policy instrument typology. A voluntary approach supported by investment subsidies, or incentives that could replace existing requirements, is deemed more appropriate.
