The online publicity/advertising is a form of promotion utilizing the internet as a quasi-exclusive mean of marketing, serving to attract new customers in larger numbers at costs as low as possible. The online advertising is considering actions by which the organization submits to general or specific audience information on its products and services, its brand names or more about itself. The online advertising success depends significantly on a solid knowledge of the advertising domain in general, on a good knowledge of internet as a medium of communication and prompt information, as well as on the consumer reaction and feedback.As it is an area of utmost interest, where time equals money literally, the air transportation and especially the low-cost air transportation involves a need for a versatile and offensive online advertising.The case analyzed is paradoxical underlying perhaps the microeconomics principle of communicating vessels applicable to any system, but favorable to consumers (in this case). Even inconveniencies occurred (extra fees, more curious requirements regarding luggage, services on board…), by overall, hence in a balanced situation, the possibilities to get sound and in a shorter time at destination, is more appreciated by the consumers (passengers).We speak about a psychological aspect in the relationship customer- service provider, meaning that the consumer retains the needed information, brand, even under the publicity form and becomes attached to the activity or service which brings him profit (tangible or not tangible).

Electronic health literacy skills and competences are important for empowering people to have an active role in making appropriate health care decisions. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to (1) examine the frequency of use of the Internet for seeking online information about chronic pain, (2) determine the level of eHealth literacy skills in the study sample, (3) identify the factors most closely associated with higher levels of eHealth literacy, and (4) examine self-efficacy as a potential mediator of the association between eHealth literacy and measures of pain and function in a sample of adults with chronic pain. One-hundred and sixty-one adults with chronic pain completed measures assessing internet use, eHealth literacy, pain interference, anxiety, depression, and pain-related self-efficacy. Results indicated that 70% of the participants are active users of the Internet for seeking information related to their health. The level of eHealth literacy skills was not statistically significantly associated with participants’ age or pain interference but was significantly negatively associated with both anxiety and depression. In addition, the findings showed that self-efficacy fully explained the relationship between eHealth literacy and depression and partially explained the relationship between eHealth literacy and anxiety. Self-efficacy should be considered as a treatment target in eHealth literacy interventions, due to its role in explaining the potential benefits of eHealth literacy.

Abstract. Background: Research has already acknowledged the importance of the Internet in suicide prevention as search engines such as Google are increasingly used in seeking both helpful and harmful suicide-related information. Aims: We aimed to assess the impact of a highly publicized suicide by a Hollywood actor on suicide-related online information seeking. Method: We tested the impact of the highly publicized suicide of Robin Williams on volumes of suicide-related search queries. Results: Both harmful and helpful search terms increased immediately after the actor's suicide, with a substantial jump of harmful queries. Limitations: The study has limitations (e.g., possible validity threats of the query share measure, use of ambiguous search terms). Conclusion: Online suicide prevention efforts should try to increase online users' awareness of and motivation to seek help, for which Google's own helpline box could play an even more crucial role in the future.

The increasing need for security in microcontrollers Security has long been a significant challenge in microcontroller applications(MCUs). Traditionally, many microcontroller systems did not have strong security measures against remote attacks as most of them are not connected to the Internet, and many microcontrollers are deemed to be cheap and simple. With the growth of IoT (Internet of Things), security in low cost microcontrollers moved toward the spotlight and the security requirements of these IoT devices are now just as critical as high-end systems due to:
