A brief overview of the history of the Internet and social networks in the world and in Russia in particular has been provided. The concepts of social network, user profile and properties inherent in any social network – virtuality, interactivity and multimedia have been сharacterized and revealed. Dynamic data on the state of digital technologies for 2019 in the world and in Russia in particular have been analysed. The history and prospects for further development of social networks have been considered. Statistical data on the number of users of the 9 most popular social networks in Russia, namely: their activity, the amount of time spent on the Internet and in social networks, age and gender specifics and preferences of the technical devices used and types of Internet connection have been adduced. General recommendations to marketers on accurate targeting of ads placed in social networks have been given. To do this, companies should work with groups of users, that are united by a number of parameters, as well as create communities in social networks by companies that convey new information to users. Using data on the age, gender and other attributes of the target audience of social networks, marketers will be able to successfully solve the problems of increasing brand awareness and loyalty, attracting new customers, influencing the search promotion of external resources (sites and communities) containing information about the brand, products and services, and using them as effective tools for attracting potential customers.

Abstract Grandparents raising grandchildren experience multiple challenges as they take on the unexpected role of caring for their grandchildren, which usually occurs under stressful and stigmatizing conditions. Many of the challenges grandparents experience are well documented in the research. Less attention is given to understanding how a grandparent caregiver’s social network changes when s/he becomes a caregiver and how her/his social network influences resilience. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use social network analysis (SNA) to examine the relation between social networks and resilience in grandparents raising their grandchildren. This was done by conducting face-to-face interviews with twenty grandparents raising grandchildren after they completed a survey measuring social support, social isolation, and resilience. The interview protocol included questions related to participants’ social network, social support, and services. Prior to the interviews, using data from the surveys participants were identified as representing one of four resilience quadrants: resilient, maladaptive, competent, and vulnerable. Qualitative analysis of grandparent’s social networks across groups indicated resilient grandparent caregivers’ networks were structured in a way that provided more opportunities for the inflow of new information and resources. Whereas the proportion of professionals in maladaptive grandparent caregivers’ networks tended to be less than for other networks. This could suggest that for grandparent caregivers, having professionals in one’s network can be beneficial. Findings from the current study provide opportunities for future research such as identifying ways to help grandparent caregivers structure their social networks to promote resilience.

Social networks have become a way of life for many people who use them to connect and communicate with the world at large. Social media is defined as any tool or service that uses the Internet to facilitate conversations. Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites (SNSs) and has a total of 55 million active users worldwide with an average of 250000 new registrations per day. After Yahoo, MySpace and Google, Facebook is also the fourth most popular SNS in South Africa. The purpose of the paper was to determine whether social networks have an influence on higher education students’ lifestyles and behaviour. This research was descriptive and quantitative in nature. The sample comprised 386 students studying at the Durban University of Technology (DUT). The results indicated that the majority of the respondents preferred Facebook as their social network of choice. More than half of the respondents indicated that they access their preferred social network five times or more per day. The majority of the respondents agreed that social networks allow for global interaction and that maintaining relationships has become easier with social networking,

Il decoro dell’esercizio professionale è la dimensione esterna del professionista, il modo in cui si mostra agli altri, l’immagine che un soggetto costruisce di se stesso nell’ambiente lavorativo. Sebbene la professione infermieristica sia in continuo mutamento, dovendosi adattare ai cambiamenti dettati dal contesto socio-culturale nel quale opera, il decoro professionale è un valore costante che contribuisce a determinare la credibilità e la rispettabilità della famiglia professionale. Il nursing, negli ultimi anni, opera non solo nei classici setting di cura ma anche all’interno di una grande piattaforma multimediale, internet, che oggi è il canale di informazione più utilizzato e veloce. Sebbene ciò consenta di accrescere il senso di identità professionale della categoria, mettendo in comunicazione infermieri di tutto il mondo e riunendoli in grandi community, rappresenta uno strumento ‘pericoloso’. Infatti, non pochi sono i casi nei quali gli infermieri, nei social network, sono stati protagonisti di eventi che hanno leso la privacy degli assistiti e il decoro della famiglia professionale di appartenenza. Per questo nasce l’esigenza di comprendere il significato del decoro e come esso si esprima nelle azioni e nei pensieri di coloro che saranno i professionisti di domani. Nel presente studio viene effettuata un’analisi in ambito deontologico e normativo del significato di decoro, distinguendolo da quello dell’etica e della dignità professionale. Attraverso poi un’indagine empirica viene ricercato come gli studenti infermieri definiscano, tutelino e perseguano il decoro professionale sia nell’attività lavorativa quotidiana sia all’interno della grande piattaforma multimediale. ---------- The decorum concept can be conceived as the external dimension of the professional, the way in which he/she shows himself/herself to others, the image that he/she builds of himself/herself in the working environment. Considering that, although the concept of nursing is constantly changing, in order to adapt to the adjustments dictated by its socio- cultural context, the professional decorum remains an unquestionable value that contributes to determine the credibility and respectability of the professional family. Furthermore, the contemporary nursing assets do not operate only in classic care settings but also within a large multimedia platform, the internet, embodied in the most currently used and fast communication system. While this has allowed to enhance the sense of professional identity, with the possibility to connect nurses from all over the world and to gather them into one big community, the internet still represents a very ambiguous tool. Quite a few cases have been reported in which nurses, especially in social networks, made themselves responsible of acts that have damaged not only the privacy of the patients but also the dignity of the professional family they belong to. Therefore it seems urgent to reconsider the meaning of dignity and how it can be expressed through the actions of the incoming nursing assets. In the present study, a first analysis of the meaning of decorum is made by a deontological and normative perspective with the aim of distinguishing it from that of ethics and professional dignity. Then, through the results of an empirical survey, it is shown how nursing students define, pursue and preserve the professional decorum in the daily working activities, but also, and more importantly, within the multimedia platform.

Popularity of the social media and the amount of importance given by an individual to social media has significantly increased in last few years. As more and more people become part of the social networks like Twitter, Facebook, information which flows through the social network, can potentially give us good understanding about what is happening around in our locality, state, nation or even in the world. The conceptual motive behind the project is to develop a system which analyses about a topic searched on Twitter. It is designed to assist Information Analysts in understanding and exploring complex events as they unfold in the world. The system tracks changes in emotions over events, signalling possible flashpoints or abatement. For each trending topic, the system also shows a sentiment graph showing how positive and negative sentiments are trending as the topic is getting trended.

Research on the relationship between fertility and gender ideology revealed inconsistent results. In the present study, we argue that inconsistencies may be due to the fact that such relationship may be nonlinear. We hypothesize a U- shaped relationship between two dimensions of gender ideology (i.e. primacy of breadwinner role and acceptance of male privilege) and fertility rates. We conducted a cross-national analysis of 60 countries using data from the World Values Survey as well as the World Population Prospects 2019. Controlling for gross domestic product, we found support for a U-shaped relationship between gender ideology and fertility. Higher levels of fertility rates were found at lower and especially higher levels of traditional gender ideology, while a medium level of gender ideology was associated with the lowest fertility rate. This curvilinear relationship is in agreement with the phase of the gender revolution in which the country is located. Traditional beliefs are linked to a complementary division of private versus public sphere between sexes, while egalitarian attitudes are associated with a more equitable division. Both conditions strengthen fertility. Instead, as in the transition phase, intermediate levels of gender ideology’s support are associated with an overload and a difficult reconciliation of the roles that women have to embody (i.e. working and nurturing) so reducing fertility. The present study has contributed to the literature by addressing the inconsistencies of prior research by demonstrating that the relationship between gender ideology and fertility rates is curvilinear rather than linear.

Исследуется кризис вербальности контента в интернет-дискурсе, его активная визуализация, связанная с новыми открытиями в области компьютерных технологий. Цель работы - дать полиаспектную характеристику этому явлению и обозначить перспективы его влияния на речемыслительную деятельность подрастающего поколения, составляющего большую часть пользователей социальных сетей. Актуальность данной проблематики обусловлена обеспокоенностью филологической общественностью тем, что мир становится все менее лингвистическим. Новизна заключается в том, что впервые интернет-дискурс рассматривается в контексте кризиса вербальности контента. При таких темпах визуализации медиатекстов вполне вероятно обострение кризиса вербальности, последствия которого могут негативно сказаться на мыслетворческой деятельности у подрастающего поколения, которая возможна только при высокой языковой компетенции. The paper examines the crisis of content verbality in the Internet discourse, its active visualization associated with new discoveries in the field of computer technology. The aim of the work is to give a multi-aspect characterization of this phenomenon and outline the prospects of its influence on the speech-thinking activity of the younger generation, which makes up the majority of users of social networks. The relevance of this issue is due to the concern of the philological community that the world is becoming less and less linguistic. The novelty lies in the fact that for the first time Internet discourse is considered in the context of the crisis of content verbality. At such a rate of visualization of media texts, it is likely that the crisis of verbality will aggravate, the consequences of which can negatively affect the thinking activity of the younger generation, which is possible only with high linguistic competence.

Getting involved in the Internet, using social network language, humanity, distorting their language, forget about great traditions of each nation, about originality, harmony, euphony of a language. In this case, we are talking about rich and expressive Russian language.
