1) The document analyzes internet addiction levels of individuals according to various variables based on a survey of 596 people in Kırşehir, Turkey.
2) It finds that most individuals had low levels of internet addiction according to age groups, gender, and profession, though students and those under age 19 tended to have higher addiction levels.
3) Males generally had higher internet addiction scores than females, and scores differed significantly between those aged 19 and below versus older age groups.
Internet causes some challeges as well as it gives adolescents some opportunities. One of the most important negative effect of Internet usage is Problematic Internet Using (PIU). PIU can be defined as “use of the Internet that creates psychological, social, school, and/or work difficulties in a person's life”. The main aim of the present study is to investigate the differentiation situation of PIU levels with respect to gender, age, Internet usage time, having a tablet, computer, smartphone, Internet access at home and purpose of Internet usage. Analyses are created with t-test and one-way variance analysis (ANOVA). The Results has shown that PIU level is higher for boys, older age, have higher Internet usage time, Internet access at home, a computer, a smartphone and use the Internet for entertainment. In addition, groups using the Internet for entertainment have higher PIU level than those who do not use Internet for these purposes. Backwords, the groups using the Internet for doing homework/school project, searching a subject for his/her own personal interest and for reading have lower PIU level than those who do not use the Internet for these purposes.

Introduction
Qualitative research majorly concentrates on collection of non-numerical information. Qualitative research is generally a process of naturalistic inquiry which seek the comprehension of social phenomena in a deeper context. This generally complies with their natural settings. The research essentially concentrates on why on the phenomena unlike other researches why focus on the what of the social phenomena. In this case, the qualitative research on the internet addiction in adolescents will tend to analyze on the why of this social assessment. This include an analysis of why teens are often indulged in internet addiction. The factors that may aggravate their indulgence in internet addiction which explains the question why the social phenomena happen to the adolescents. The qualitative research will utilize the numerous systems of inquiry for the study of human phenomena which include biography, case study, historical analysis, discourse analysis, ethnography, grounded theory as well as phenomenology of the case in which adolescents are often involved in the internet addiction.

Although there have been high rates of cases of the identity theft very little amount of information is known about the people who indulge in this type of crime. This paper has been researched to provide some information on the people who engage in this type of crime. To be able to accomplish this, various people have been evaluated and evaluated on their views regarding identity theft. The individuals who were interviewed have received sentencing and are serving their time in prison. The outcome has indicated that identity theft includes different people which include the low-level and the high-level people. The motivating factor which was singled out from the assessment is that the people engaging in identity theft were driven by the quick need of cash. They were able to use a different kind of techniques to be able to have access to the information which they were able to convert it to cash. For example, they were able to buy information, steal the information, or even being able to access it from those individual people who own the specific information (Andringa et al., 2018).
Through the development of different skills in computer science and computer technology; for example the computer system skills, the fraudsters on identity theft were able to accomplish their mission with success. Through the findings of this paper, it can be recommended that having well tested situational crime prevention methods can be very effective through the process of trying to reduce the identity theft through the process of trying to increase the employed efforts. However, also through the findings in this paper, this method may become ineffective at some point, due to the fact that new way can be discovered by the crime offenders. Having an assessment from the crime offenders and basing that information, this sample has been developed which is purposed at trying to do away with the excuses which may result to the few cases of having identity theft.
In the United States of America, identity theft has been able to grab the attention of the country as it has sort to become a very common economic an computer crime. Through the statistical analysis which have previously been conducted, there are many cases of people who have been complaining and have gone ahead to report the crimes. Although so many cases have been filed regarding the identity theft in a computer with the police, not much has been done for the purposes of trying to identify the how this fraud can be controlled with more effective computer methods. For this reason, I have come up with a research that is meant for the examination of those people who have engaged in identity theft to try and understand their own perspective why they do that. The main goal and purpose if provide information on how the process identity theft is conducted and how those people th.

Literature Review
Since the introduction of electronic devices, the world has shifted into a new technological era with great assistance from the development of the internet. The technology then became more portable and commercial, which made the mechanisms more accessible, affordable and evidently more desirable. The popularity of these internet associated devices rose quickly and still continue to rise, as it becomes the norm for individuals to own at least one electronic device. The purpose of these devices it to assist with an individual’s daily task along with many more possibilities, and because of its influential power, questions like how it affected with the development of humans in the modern era begin to surface.
The purpose of this study is to discover how the interactions and communications between humans have evolved since the involvement of internet and electronic technology. This topic has peaked interest of many researchers, and popular themes concerning the topic includes relationships and intimacy between individuals via the internet from computers and phones. Some previous research that has been chosen to be used as references all follow along a similar pattern, regarding the sample size and diversity, methodology, and theoretical influences.
One method that is popular to the researchers in the field of sociology is known as Ethnography, which is “the systematic description of human behaviour and organizational culture based on first-hand observation” (Howard, 2002, p.553). But because of the new technological advancement, using such a traditional procedure may be unable to fully analyze the subject. One research decided to adapt to the technologic subject and develop a different form of Ethnography to accommodate any flaws the tradition method had; the new methodology is called Network Ethnography.
Network ethnography involves with passive or active observation, extended immersion, and in-depth interviews, following the processes of ethnographical research methods. The contribution Network ethnography provides is that it does not limit the researcher into choosing territorial field sites, but also has the opportunity to select multiple social networks as field sites.
Another reason why they believe Network Ethnography is a valid method of examining social behaviour and different technological mediums is that a researcher can manage sample bias whether it be extreme, snowball or any other sampling method. The reason being is that “snowball sampling for example, does not allow the researcher to control the direction of sample growth, but social network analysis will identify some of the most significant informants in the network (Howard, 2002 pg 562).” Researchers can use the in.
The aim of this study was to verify the dimensions of Internet addiction in
Albanian. This study employed “Internet Addiction Scale for Adolescents” to
determine internet addiction. The verification of language equivalence, the
scale form was administered to 164 university students studying at AAB
College Faculty of Psychology and 61 High School students studying at the
British School of Kosovo (altogether 245). In addition, the Cronbach Alpha
internal srability coefficient was found to be .828. It was observed that the
factor load values of the scale items varied between .56 and .72. The KaiserMeyer-Olkin
coefficient (KMO) was 0.82 and the Bartlett x2 Sphericity
value was 605,874 (p<.000). In confirmatory factor analysis, it was seen that
the one-dimensional structure of the scale provided a good fit. [x

ABSTRACT : The Internet of Things (IoT) is a significant research topic with many challenges and affects
many areas of our lives, including healthcare. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of
knowledge on Internet addiction and online privacy and security issues, with a focus on identifying gaps in the
literature, quantifying the research, and areas in need of further research. This paper aims to provide guidance
for creating insightful and helpful systematic literature review articles in the field of International Business. In
this paper, we present a thorough review of the different security and privacy risks, which threaten the wellbeing of OSN users in general, and children in particular. We also present an overview of existing solutions that
can provide better protection, security, and privacy for OSN user’s identities, identities, and lives. In addition,
we provide a comprehensive survey on how recent and ongoing advances in technology have motivated the
development of affordable healthcare gadgets and connected health services using IoT. The COVID-19
pandemic has led to new cyber security threats and privacy issues.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ABSTRACT
The concept of internet addiction refers to the excessive use of internet which in turn causes various problems in
individual, social and professional aspects. The aim of this study was to determine internet addiction levels of
internet users from all age groups. The study used survey model. Study group of the study consisted of a total of
596 people from all age groups. “Personal Information Form” and “Internet Addiction Scale” were used for data
collection. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, independent sampling and t test, ANOVA and LSD tests were
performed on collected data. The findings of the study revealed that the individuals had low levels of internet
addiction both in sub-scales and in the general of the scale according to age groups. It was found that there was a
significant difference between internet addiction scores of the individuals who belonged to the age group of 19
and below and 30 and below. There was a significant difference between the internet addiction scores of students
and other professional groups. It was found that internet addiction levels of males were higher than those of
females. The results of the study were discussed together with the results of different studies and suggestions
were made.
Keywords: Internet, Addiction, Individual
INTRODUCTION
During the years of Cold War, United States of America supported all kinds of inventions to fulfill their military
objectives. To achieve this aim, Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was established in 1958. Today’s
internet was developed as a result of long studies carried out in ARPA (Musch, 2000). The World Wide Web
(WWW) was developed and began to be widespread in 1991 (Hecht, 2001). While number of wide band internet
users in Turkey was 18.604 in 2003, it reached 8.7 million by the end of 2010 (Information Technology and
Communication Institution, 2011).
Rapid development of computer technology in information society and particularly the invention and
advancement of internet led to major changes in human life. Today, thanks to internet, it is possible to shop from
virtual stores, to meet new people and make new friends via social networks, to easily access information and
sources required for any subject or to be informed about any event that takes place anywhere in the world (Çalık,
Çınar, 2009). In addition to many positive effects, it is possible to discuss negative effects of computers,
particularly of internet on individuals and society (Çalık, Çınar, 2009; Khasawneh, Al-Awidi, 2008; Kelleci,
2008: Weiner, 1996). Internet addiction might be listed among these negative effects (Chou, Condron, Belland,
2005).
The concept of internet addiction, which was first used by Goldberg in 1995, has recently turned out to be a
phenomena, which is tried to be defined through various terms such as “net addiction”, “internet addiction”, “online addiction”, “internet addiction disorder”, pathologic internet use” and “cyber disorder” (Eichenberg & Ott,
1999). Although there is not a standard definition for internet addiction yet (Chou, Condron, Belland, 2005) the
most basic symptoms can be listed as inability to restrict internet use, to continue internet use despite social or
academic hazards and feeling a deep anxiety when access to internet is restricted (Öztürk et al, 2007).
Internet addiction is not still defined as a disorder in “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”
(also known as “DSM-IV-TR”) published by the American Psychological Association in 2000. It was suggested
that pathological gambling disorder was viewed as most akin to internet addiction (Köroğlu, 2001; Öztürk et al.,
2007). Young, who first introduced the definition of internet addiction and determined the first diagnosis criteria
concluded that “pathological gambling” under the title of impulse control disorders in DSM IV was viewed as
most akin to internet addiction. Internet addiction does not involve misuse of any substances (Greenfield, 1999:
Cited by. Arısoy, 2009).
The concept of internet addiction refers to the excessive use of internet which in turn causes various problems in
individual, social and professional aspects. Internet addiction recently began to be analyzed as a psychological
problem in association with various psychological problems in the academic world. Particularly educators,
psychological counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists tended to carry out various researches on internet
addiction (Zimmerl, 1998; Eichenberg and Ott, 1999; Morahan-Martin and Schumacher, 2000; Young, 2006;
Ayaroğlu, 2002; Bölükbaş, 2003; Orhan and Akkoyunlu, 2004; Cengizhan, 2005; Esen 2007; Turnalar Kurtaran,
2008). These studies generally investigated the relationship between excessive use of internet and loneliness,

depression, having antisocial values and low emotional intelligence, the relationships with the family,
particularly with mother and friends, playing online games, searching and shopping, depressive symptoms,
decreased social interaction, psychological well-being of the individual, social, verbal and academic functions.
The literature contains only a limited number of studies which investigated internet addiction levels of different
age groups. For this reason, this study aimed to determine internet addiction of internet users from different age
groups and thus to produce concrete and applicable solutions to overcome this problem. It is believed that this
study differed from other studies in the literature from these aspects.
The main problem of this study was to determine the levels of internet addiction which cause excessive use of
internet by the individuals from different age groups and in turn leads to experiencing various problems in
individual, social and professional aspects.
Aim of the Study
The aim of this study was to determine internet addiction levels of individuals from all age groups in terms of
various variables. To achieve the aim of the study, the following questions were tried to be answered:
1. What are the internet addiction levels of the individuals?
2. Do internet addiction levels of the individuals vary according to age group?
3. Do internet addiction levels of the individuals vary according professional group?
4. Do internet addiction levels of the individuals vary according to gender?
METHOD
Study Model
This is a descriptive study which used survey model. As it is known, survey models aim to indicate an existing
situation as they are (Karasar, 1999). In this framework, we tried to determine internet addiction levels of the
individuals from all age groups.
Study Group
Population of the study consisted of the individuals living in Kırşehir province of Turkey. Among random
sampling methods, simple random sampling method was used to determine the study group. Study group of the
study consisted of a total of 596 individuals from different age groups living in Kırşehir city center.
Of the individuals in the study group, 284 (47.7%) were male, 312 (52.3%) were female. As for the distribution
of the study group according to age groups; a total of 109 (18.3%) belonged to the age group of 19 and below;
98 (16.4%) belonged to the age group of 20-29;155 (26.0%) belonged to the age group of 30-39; 141 (23.7%)
belonged to the age group of 40-49; and 93 (15.6) belonged to the age group of 50 and above. As for the
distribution of the participants according to professional status, it was found that 191 (32.0%) were students; 221
(37.1%) worked in various professions; 39 (6.5%) were unemployed; 119 (20.0%) were housewives and 26
(4.4%) were retired.
Study Instruments
“Personal Information Form” and “Internet Addiction Scale” were used for data collection.
Personal Information Form: This form consists of four questions on the data about the independent variables of
the study.
Internet Addiction Scale (IAS): The scale, which was designed by Hahn and Jerusalem (2001), aims to determine
internet addiction levels of the individuals. The original title of the scale is “Skala zur Erfassung der
Internetsucht”. The scale was adapted into Turkish by Şahin and Korkmaz (2011).
The scale contains 19 items and 3 factors. The first factor is “Loss of Control-LC”; the second factor is
“Tolerance Development-TD” and the third factor is “Negative Consequences for Social Relationships-NCSR”
Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin (KMO) and Bartlett test analyses were performed to test structural validity of the scale.
KMO= 0,919; Bartlett test value was x2= 6087,383; sd=171 (p=0,000). It was found that the items within the
scale concentrated on three factors and explained 68.095% of total variance. Confirmatory factor analyses
showed that the model had an acceptable adaptation. To calculate discriminative power of items, the correlations
between the scores obtained from each item and the scores obtained from the factors were calculated and it was
found that each item had a significant and positive relationship with factor score. Internal consistency analyses
were conducted to calculate internal consistency of the scale. Analyses revealed that internal consistency
coefficients of the factors varied between 0.887 and 0.926 and that internal consistency coefficient for the
general of the scale was 0.858.

Data Analysis and Interpretation
Each of the items in internet addiction scale was scaled as Never (1), Rarely (2) Sometimes (3), Generally (4)
and Always (5). In parallel with the structure of the scale, for three sub-factors, averages of the response of the
individuals to five-item Likert type scale were calculated severally. High averages indicate high level of internet
addiction while low averages indicate low addiction levels. The scores obtained from the responses of the
individuals to five-item Likert type scale did not show a standard character due to the differences in number of
items in the sub-factors. For this reason, obtained raw scores were converted into standard scores (minimum 20;
maximum 100).
The levels corresponding to the scores obtained from sub-scales can be summarized as follows: low internet
addiction (20-51), mean internet addiction (52-67), high internet addiction (68-100).
In this framework, internet addiction levels of the individuals were analyzed using arithmetic mean, standard
deviation, t test, ANOVA and LSD analyses. p<.05 level was considered as adequate for the significance
between the factors.

made to determine whether these differences were significant. The results showed that there was not a significant
difference between TD (F(4-591)= .879, P>0.05) and NCSC (F(4-591)= 1.710, P>0.05) scores. It was found that
there was a significant difference between LC (F(4-591)= 30.089, P<0.01) and IA general total scores (F(4591)= 11.224, P<0.01). LSD test was performed to determine the groups which caused difference. LSD test
results revealed that there was a significant difference between the internet addiction scores of 19 and below age
group and other age groups.

Table 3 indicated that internet addiction scores of the students were higher in terms of sub-scales and IA general
when compared to other professional groups. An analysis was conducted to determine whether these observed
differences were significant. Analysis results showed that the difference between NCSC(F(4-591)= 1.919;
P>0.05) scores of the individuals according to professional groups was not significant; while the difference
among LC (F(4-591)= 22.073; P<0.01) and TD (F(4-591)= 2.569; P<0.05) and IA (F(4-591)= 16.305; P<0.01)
total scores was significant. LSD test was performed to determine the groups which caused difference. LSD test
results showed that there was a significant difference between the students and other professional groups in LC
sub-dimension; among housewives, students and the individuals who were working in TD sub dimension;
between students and other professional groups in IA general total.

It was understood from Table 4 that internet addiction scores of males were higher from those of females in subscales (LC, TD and NCSC) and in the general of the scale. An analysis was performed to determine whether
these observed differences were significant. Analysis results showed that the difference between internet
addiction scores of males and females according to LC subscale was not significant (t(594)=-.913; P>0.05); DFO
(t(594)= -5.396),. However, it was found that the difference between internet addiction scores of males and
females according to TD (t(594)= -5.396), NCSC (t(594)=-4.148) sub scales and IA general total (t(395)=4,916) was significant
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
It was found that the individuals had low level of internet addiction in sub-scales and in general of the scale
according to age groups. This finding is consistent with literature data. The literature contains various studies
carried out in different societies which reported significantly low number of individuals with internet addiction

(Saville et al., 2010; Chaw, Black, 2008). Similar studies found that the majority of the individuals had a low
level of internet addiction (Niesing, 2001; Hahn and Jerusalem, 2001).
It was found that internet addiction levels of 19 and below age group was high. It was observed that there was a
significant difference between internet addiction scores of the individuals who belonged to the age group of 19
and below and 30 and below. Similarly, Choi et al., (2008) reported that internet addiction was more common
among young people, and for this reason, young people should be permanently monitored. Öztürk et al., (2007)
reported that internet addiction turned out to be a serious risk factor particularly for 12-18 age group. Hahn and
Jerusalem (2001) reported that the individuals belonging to the age group of 20-29 used internet more, while
internet addiction scores of the individuals belonging to the group of 19 and below was higher than other groups
and that this situation varied according to gender.
It was found that there was a significant difference between internet addiction scores of the students and other
professional groups. The study of Seville et al, (2010) conducted on high school students reported that internet
addiction of the students who recently started high school was higher than that of other students. Chin-Chung
and Sunny (2003) reported similar results.
Internet addiction levels of males were found to be higher than those of females. These findings are supported by
the findings of various studies in the literature. In a study carried out by Choi et al., (2008) it was reported that
the case of internet addiction was more common in male students when compared to female students. Karaman
and Kurtoğlu (2009) found that male pre-service teachers were more addicted to internet than female pre-service
teachers. Hahn and Jerusalem (2001) reported that males used internet more when compared to females;
however internet use levels of females increased in years.
Internet addiction is described as the use of internet in increasing amounts of time in order to achieve
satisfaction. Research shows that Internet addiction results in personal, family, academic, financial, and
occupational problems. Because internet addicts by definition will have difficulty moderating their use on their
own, therapy techniques can be employed to help them to become more motivated to reduce their use, and to
become more conscious of how they get into trouble with the Internet. For this reason, in some countries,
therapy centers are founded to identify and treat Internet addiction. Parents need to be aware of the signs of the
internet addiction to help their children. For families, schools should organize such seminars as the symptoms of
internet addiction, communication techniques, and how to take a proactive stance.
