The communication through wireless medium is very popular to the developed society. More specifically, the use of the internet as well as the use of social networking sites is increasing. Therefore, information security is an important factor during wireless communication. Three major components of it are confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information among authorized users. Integrity level is maintained through various digital authentication schemes. Fuzzy logic is an important soft computing tool that increases the digital watermarking system in various ways. In this chapter, different popular and high secured watermarking schemes using fuzzy logic are analyzed with their mathematical and experimental efficiency.

The use of the Internet, and particularly social networks, has changed the way people inform themselves about potential tourist destinations today. People are often browsing the Internet to find inspiration for their next trip. A nice photograph or a video posted on a Facebook page, for example, can motivate them to further explore the destination and become interested in visiting it. Since local tourist organizations in Serbia play an important role in promoting and supporting tourism on a local level, they need to use the marketing potential of social networks to its fullest. This paper provides an overview of the most commonly used social networking services and the benefits of their use. It also sheds light on the use of Facebook by the local tourist organizations of popular Serbian destinations. The author has investigated Facebook pages of five Serbian local tourist organizations and conducted a comparative analysis according to the number of their fans (i.e., total page likes), total page likes growth comparing to the previous week, the number of their posts in the observed week, and the engagement rates of their fans (in the observed week).

The reasons were based on an article by Morahan – Martin and Schumacher. The reasons were arranged as a questionnaire. This questionnaire was completed by 156 volunteer students of Shiraz University. The results indicated that Reasons of S.N.S Use Scale is both reliable and valid. The result of factor analysis showed that two dimensions (Positive and Negative reasons of S.N.S use) explains total variance acceptably.

Abstract. The use of social networking sites such as LinkedIn in recruitment is ubiquitous. This practice may hold risks for older job seekers. Not having grown up using the internet and having learned how to use social media only in middle adulthood may render them less versed in online self-presentation than younger job seekers. Results of this research show some differences and many similarities between younger and older job seekers' impression management on their LinkedIn profiles. Nevertheless, independent of their impression management efforts, older job seekers received fewer job offers than younger job seekers. Only using a profile photo with a younger appearance reduced this bias. Implications for the role of job seeker age in online impression management and recruitment are discussed.

Internet has been a very facilitating medium and making lives easier for many of us. Internet is increasingly becoming a channel through which people, and especially adolescents, socialize and be in constant contact with their family, relatives and friends. More than a medium of acquiring knowledge, for adolescents, it has become a medium of expression of their implicit feelings and to know what is happening in their peer group. The current research aims to study the prevalence and nature of Internet use among adolescents. Population for the research included adolescents of Vadodara District in Gujarat. A total of 1657 adolescents were taken as the sample for the study. A survey research was conducted on 1657 adolescents using a self developed questionnaire along with Young’s Internet Addiction test. Results indicate that 44.8% of the participants are Average Users of the Internet, while 14.6% of the participants belong to the category of above average users of the Internet. The present study also shows that participants use the Internet mainly for social communication and social networking sites are the most commonly used sites on the Internet.

Studies of online campaigning tend to focus on the supply side: the way political parties communicate and campaign using the Internet. This chapter explores the online presences of the main candidates and their parties who stood in the 2012 French presidential election. The research focuses not only on the supply side but also explores demand, utilising data from the Mediapolis survey to ascertain what citizens search for online and in particular what citizens seeking help with their voter decisions seek online. The data shows that citizens are provided with a rich online experience during election campaigns. Information is presented in engaging ways and candidates attempt to mobilise their supporters and offer various opportunities to interact with the campaign and other Website visitors. Interaction is augmented in particular by the use of social networking sites. Citizens, however, appear to mostly go online to find detailed information on the policies and programmes of the candidates. There appears little call for engaging communication, interactive opportunities, or details on the personal lives or personalities of the candidates. The data may, therefore, suggest that information may need to be packaged for accessibility and presented in a way that allows voters to make up their own minds, rather than following the norms of corporate sales campaign Websites.
