Full textAbstract:
Objective: This research was carried out with the aim of examining the relationship between internet use in pregnant women and their thoughts about the health of their baby.
Method: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 216 pregnant women registered in two Family Health Centers between November 2021 and February 2022. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Prenatal Decision-Making Scale for Pregnants, and the Prenatal Self-Assessment Scale's Thoughts About Self and Baby's Health Sub-dimension.
Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the abortion/abortion history, number of pregnancies and current pregnancy desire status of the pregnant women and the total mean score of the Internet Decision Making Scale for Pregnants. A statistically significant difference was determined between the current pregnancy-related risk/disease status of pregnant women and the means cores of the Opinions About Self and Baby's Health Sub-Dimension. It was determined that the mean score of the Pregnant Women's Decision-Making Scale on the Internet was 34.75±7.13 and the Sub-dimension of Thoughts About Self and Baby's Health was 23.71±5.16. A positive correlation was found between the total and sub-dimensions of the Pregnant Women's Internet Decision-Making Scale and the Opinions About Self and Baby's Health Sub-dimension.
Conclusion: As the decision-making level of pregnant women increases via the internet, their thoughts about improving their own health and the health of their baby also increase.

Full textAbstract:
This paper outlines some of the problems facing women as Internet users. In the context of exponential growth of the Internet, issues of access and motivation, content and quality are examined. Recent studies on gender and equity and the relevance of the Internet to women, particularly rural and remote women, are considered. As women will only get 'a fair go' on the Internet when they know how to use the technology and participate in the areas that matter, this paper concludes with practical guidelines for setting up a website.

Full textAbstract:
Gender inequality is often cited as a barrier to improving women’s sexual and reproductive health outcomes, including contraceptive use. Indonesia is ranked at 85th place out of the 153 countries in Global Gender Gap Report 2020, which indicates gender inequality. Although positive increases in women's participation in the economy, health and education have been shown since 2014. Keeping in view this fact, we investigated the impact of women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use among married women age 15–49 years in Indonesia. Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 data has been used for analysis by ordered logistic regression. Women’s participation in making four household decisions: food purchases, household purchases; freedom to visit family and relatives and contraceptive use have been used as women’s decision-making autonomy. The results indicated that women’s decision-making autonomy has been positively associated with contraceptive use. Women’s age, job status, education level, number of children, domicile status, internet access, and household wealth status also been found statistically significantly associated with contraceptive use. The current study suggests integrating the interventions for women’s decision-making autonomy into family planning programs.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of new media, the term appearance anxiety has appeared in the eyes of the public. This paper will analyze women's appearance anxiety through the frequency of words used on the internet and analyze the consequences of appearance anxiety by analyzing the words that accompany appearance anxiety. According to studies, the number of women who are concerned about their beauty is growing. Women can become uneasy when they hear words that condemn their bodies. Capitalists use appearance worry to make money. According to the findings, women's beauty worry is increasing in the modern world due to the rapid development of new media. What people say on the internet stimulates women's appearance worry. Buzzwords create beauty trends that people want to follow. Furthermore, women are readily swayed by beauty worry into doing activities that are damaging to them. As a result, we must struggle against the definition of beauty. Rather than being defined by others, be the unique version of yourself.

Full textAbstract:
The discussion about women's access to and use of ICTs in developing countries has been an unsettled issue. Some schools of thought claim that due to engagement with household chores, traditional social norms, and values, women are less interested in ICTs, while others argue that like other social products, technology is not gender-neutral. However, this research conducted an empirical study on the self-employed women in rural areas of the Chittagong District of Bangladesh. A mixed-method was applied to analyze the collected data. The study tries to explore the impact of mobile phones and mobile internet on rural women’s income generation activities; and how gender relation at the household level has been transforming due to access to mobile phones. The findings reveal that having access to mobile phones, rural self-employed women are performing better than women who have no access to mobile phones and mobile internet. From both social and economic perspectives, the uses of mobile phones assist rural women to take part in decision-making, awareness build-up, increase movement, and control over income. However, strong patriarchal norms and traditional cultural constraints sometimes create barriers in access to mobile phones for rural women. Notwithstanding, the study depicts that ensuring gender-sensitive ICT policy and social awareness activities might lessen the barriers of women’s access to mobile phones and the internet in the periphery areas. However, this research puts these issues to an empirical test.

Full textAbstract:
Gender equality is crucial to a thriving, contemporary economy that will ultimately benefit everyone in addition to being a fundamental human right. The emergence of the digital era has created new opportunities for the economic empowerment of women and has the potential to advance the cause of gender equality. Internet, digital platforms, mobile phones, and digital financial services may empower women to earn more money, expand their employment alternatives, and gain access to general information and expertise. They will be able to advance past men because they will have access to these opportunities. The goal of the study was to ascertain how gender affected South African household demand for mobile broadband. The findings show that the demand for mobile broadband among South African households is significantly influenced by gender. The data shows that compared to being female, being male increases the probability of needing mobile broadband service. The fact that males had 1.812 times more likelihood than females to pursue mobile broadband may be due to gender-based disparities in the availability of income. In order to increase women's levels of productivity, economic security, and overall quality of life, the study's findings recommend that the government implement programmes to promote their use of mobile broadband. Affordability, a lack of education and skills, and technological literacy should also be at the centre of policy objectives designed to increase women's desire for internet access.

Full textAbstract:
Starting from the understanding conveyed by Severin and Tankard (2005: 93), the audience is considered active in selecting the media they use. In this case, the Women's Cooperative 64 Bahari Group has tried to choose the mass media according to their needs as a medium for doing business. Through the internet, they personally sell seafood, either fresh or processed fish, although they are still experiencing some difficulties. Selling online activities using either Facebook (FB) or Instagram (IG) is easier and cheaper. However, not every person from the 64 Bahari Women's Cooperative Group has an Android, and even if it does, it doesn't mean that they can operate it properly, especially to use FB or IG.
The result is that even though it is already in the selective retention stage, the results of the selective level are still low. Many factors cause this, some of which are the ability of the 64 Bahari Women's Cooperative Group in the use of Information and Communication Technology. This condition ultimately affects the selectivity of the media, especially the 64 Bahari Women's Cooperative Group in using Facebook and Instagram as a medium for doing business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increasing number of women leaving the labor market. Using Sakernas data 2019-2020, this study estimates the determinants of women leaving the labor market using logistic regression. The results obtained are that the presence of children under the age of five, employment status as self employed, use of the internet, and a place to work at home will increase women's chances of leaving the labor market during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the status of women as heads of households, employment status as workers/employees, higher education, and the use of digital technology will reduce women's chances of leaving the labor market during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Technology plays a significant role in bridging gender gap in labour market outcomes. This paper investigates gender differential in broadband Internet usage and its effects on women‘s labour market participation. Employing an instrumental variable approach, findings suggest that exogenously determined high-speed broadband internet usage leads to increases of about 14.1 and 10.6 percentage points in labour market participation for single women and married women with some level of education, respectively. Moreover, further analyses suggest that married women are generally less likely to use the Internet to search for job opportunities and this could partly explains their low labour market participation rate. The findings suggest that more policy effort is required to bridge gender differentials in digital technologies and employment opportunities in South Africa.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of internet technology and social demographic variables on women's decisions to work at home. Using National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) conducted in February 2018, this study observed working women aged 15 years and over, which amounts to 36.378 observations. The model in this research is using logistic regression. The result shows that women who use the internet for primary jobs are more likely to work at home than those who do not use the internet. This study argued that internet supports flexible work for women. In general, internet technology is used for communication with consumers and promotional needs. Further analysis suggests that a policy is needed to improve communication infrastructure in rural areas as well as internet use to develop brand and transaction effectiveness. The younger woman, highly educated, experienced in training and living in rural areas are more likely to prefer working at home.

Full textAbstract:
The world of today's youth cannot be separated from the internet. In addition to using the internet for learning needs, teenagers also use the internet to interact in cyberspace through social media. Although it provides many benefits, social media in cyberspace also has the potential to cause negative impacts in the form of cyberbullying, namely mental violence by a person or group of people against another person or group of people in cyberspace so that the victim feels mistreated. According to Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE), cyberbullying is categorized as a crime and has legal sanctions. The purpose of the science and technology activity for the community "Legal Aspects of Cyberbullying Among Adolescents in the Perspective of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions" is to provide understanding to students at the Purwokerto Muhammadiyah Women's Orphanage about cyberbullying. and its regulation in the ITE Law so that female students can use social media on the internet wisely.

Pregnant women need high-quality, timely information for self-management. The extent to which digital education resources meet their needs is unclear. This study elucidated how low-income pregnant women characterize their digital information needs and seeking processes and identified barriers/facilitators to meeting them. Focus groups bookending field-testing of a digital maternity education resource elicited barriers to and facilitators of Internet access, Internet use patterns, preferred methods to access information, and explored acceptability and desired features of online resources. Content analysis was used to analyze transcripts and six thematic categories were identified. Digital maternity education resources should be flexible, easily shared with loved ones, and responsive to users' experiences. Although helpful, digital resources are insufficient to meet pregnant women's need for social support.

Background: Women use the Internet more often to access health information than men.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the socio-demographic effect on women's access to health information via the Internet in Indonesia.
Methods: This study uses data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The sample include 19,389 women aged 15-54 years. The independent variables include age, education, working status, ownership index, type and area of residence. The dependent variable is the use of the internet to access health information. Data analysis with Chi-Square and binary logistics using the Stata application version 15.1.
Results: Education level, age, wealth index, working status, type and area of residence were found to influence the behavior of Indonesian women in searching for health information through the Internet. Health information is sought more frequently by women who are younger, highly educated than older people and by those who have higher levels of wealth and status as working women. In addition, the search for health information is more often carried out in urban areas than in rural areas, and more in western Indonesia than in eastern Indonesia.
Conclusion: Access to health information by Indonesian women on the Internet is influenced by various socio-demographic factors, taking into account sociodemographic characteristics and differences, all women should have equal access to reliable health information

Full textAbstract:
This study examines whether there are differences in men's and women's use of computers and the Internet in the United States and Japan and, if so, how this gender gap has changed over time. We focus on these two countries because information technology is widely used in both, but there are substantial differences in institutions and social organizations. We use microdata from several surveys during 1997–2001 to examine differences and trends in computer and Internet usage in the two countries. Controlling for socioeconomic characteristics, our results indicate that there were significant gender differences in computer and Internet usage in both countries during the mid-1990s. By 2001 these gender differences had disappeared or were even reversed in the United States but persisted in Japan. People not currently working have lower levels of information technology (IT) use and skills in both countries regardless of gender, but working women in Japan have lower levels of IT use and skills than working men, a difference that generally does not occur in the United States. This suggests that employment status per se does not play a large role in the gender gap in Japan, but type of employment does. The prevalence of nonstandard employment among female workers in Japan can explain much of the gender gap in information technology use and skills in that country.

Full textAbstract:
Generally, this study aims to describe the characacteristics of modern contraception users in fertile age women in Indonesia. Specifically, this study will examine the effect of the children's sex preferences on the use of modern contraception. Furthermore, the control variables used are age, education taken by the mothers, mothers' working status, marital status, Family Planning Field Officer (Petugas Lapangan Keluarga Berencana/PLKB) visits, and internet usage. The data used in this study was taken from the results of the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. Data analysis was using descriptive and inferential analysis. Descriptive analysis used is in the form of a single table and a cross-tabulation, while the inferential analysis used is binary logistic regression. Based on the descriptive analysis results, it can be concluded that 79.35% of fertile age women (15-49 years old) in Indonesia do not have particular sex preference on their children. Moreover, the inferential analysis results with a significance level by 1%, it appears that child's sex preference will reduce the chance of modern contraception use. Women's age, the number of children that safely delivered, marital status, and FPFO visits are having the positive effect on the modern contraception use, while the residential area, education taken, and internet usage are negatively affect the modern contraception use.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I use methods from corpus linguistics to examine patterns pertaining to the representation of women in online Arabic- and English-language political corpora. I highlight the discursive differences and similarities that characterise the two corpora. Using word sketches, I identify representational categories in each corpus that are indexed by patterns of collocation. Analysis of semantic preference and prosody in each corpus reveals the ways in which women are represented. An exploration of the representations of women and gendered agency in both corpora reveals incongruities between the message of women's empowerment that the outlets promote and the implicit discursive representations of gender and gendered agency.

AbstrakDampak dari temuan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) telah menyebar ke seluruh dunia dengan cepat dan memengaruhi kehidupan kita. Meskipun teknologi ini diciptakan untuk kemajuan peradaban manusia, banyak orang menggunakannya untuk tujuan jahat demi keuntungan pribadi semata. Pornografi, sadisme, dan aneka tipu daya dengan mudah diekspos dan kemudian menyebar secara viral, serta sangat mudah diakses oleh anak-anak. Dalam Islam, internet dipahami sebagai wasilah (cara) bukan ghayah (tujuan). Layaknya sebuah pisau, baik atau buruknya internet bergantung pada bagaimana orang yang menggunakannya. Program Pelatihan Budaya Internet Islami (BUNETI) ini dirancang menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif di mana mitra akan terlibat langsung dalam mengidentifikasi masalah dan menemukan solusi generik yang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Kelompok perempuan (PKK) desa Sriwulan, kecamatan Sayung kabupaten Demak menjadi sasaran kegiatan. Keluarga merupakan unit terkecil di masyarakat. Orang tua, memiliki peran yang sangat penting bagi tumbuh kembang anak-anak mereka. Orang tua khususnya seorang ibu perlu membekali diri mereka dengan pengetahuan internet, sehingga mereka dapat menjadi mitra dan pendamping bagi anak-anaknya. Pelatihan ini diikuti oleh 40 peserta yang sangat antusias. Dalam evaluasi bersama pelatihan dalam penggunaan internet secara sehat yang sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Islam telah memberikan pengetahuan dan meningkatkan kesadaran bagi seorang ibu tanpa harus anti terhadap perkembangan teknologi.Kata kunci: internet sehat, keluarga, nilai-nilai IslamAbstractThe impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) findings has spread throughout the world quickly and affects our lives. Although technology created for the advancement of human civilization, many people use it for evil purposes for personal gain. Pornography, sadism, and various tricks are quickly exposed and then spread viral, and are very accessible to children. In Islam, the internet understood as wasilah (way) not ghayah (purpose). Like a knife, the good or bad of the internet depends on how people use it. The Islamic Internet Culture Training Program (BUNETI) is designed using a participatory approach where partners will be directly involved in identifying problems and finding generic solutions that are in line with Islamic values.

Full textAbstract:
Twitter played a dominant role during the 2014 general elections in India, ushering a right-wing party into power. Political leaders employed Twitter to augment their public image and push right-wing campaign agendas to millions of followers. A prominent and strategic use of Twitter was credited to Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, portrayed as a visionary leader supporting economic development, social empowerment and good governance. Within this narrative, women's empowerment debates underwent multiple transformations. Through this article, we aim to establish the nature of discussions lying at the intersections of feminist thinking and internet technology. We study the discursive trajectory of women's empowerment against the backdrop of a right-wing political (Hindutva) ideology playing out on Twitter. Utilising the qualitative methods of Thematic Analysis and Feminist Relational Discourse Analysis, we study two cases highlighting feminist campaigns beginning in 2014: instant triple talaq, and the Sabarimala verdict. We analyse tweets in relation to these incidents and highlight the rhetorical inconsistency of right-wing leaders and supporters. We further discuss the implications of this inconsistency for the simultaneous suppression of voices demanding empowerment and amplification of those justifying religious tradition. Finally, we conclude by introducing the idea of the ‘controlled empowerment’ of women in support of our analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The article is part of a research project dedicated to the specifics of modern motherhood in the context of the transformation of the gender order. The main goal is to study and describe the scenarios of motherhood that are relevant for the Russian society in the focus of non-maternal practices. Based on the assumption that the conservatism of the social system most affects the rhythm of women's lives after the birth of children, the authors use the concept of "non-maternal practices of mothers", defining it as a set of actions of women during maternity leave aimed at meeting social, economic, psychological needs. On the basis of the results of applied research (online survey, N=146; study of Russian-speaking profiles of young mothers, N=720), possible scenarios of non-maternal practices were formulated: professionally oriented, educational, entrepreneurial, activist, self-promotion, leisure and risky. The choice of research optics is due to the fact that a significant part of maternal activities are implemented in the online space, which makes it possible to overcome the social isolation of this period. It is shown that the thematic field of the modern maternal community is formed not only around specific child-parent topics, but also serves as a way for mothers to integrate into social and economic processes. Most scenarios are based on women's desire for communication, self-realization and earnings, which is understandable in terms of gender analysis and economic realities. The riskiness of the digital environment is associated with the vulnerability of mothers to Internet fraud and the formation of Internet addiction. The main result of the study is to fix the fact of non-maternity practices of mothers, identify possible scenarios for their implementation and describe options for the application of the data obtained to optimize the system of social protection of motherhood.

AbstractA current empirical study explores how Austrian women aged 60 to 70 use and ascribe meaning to ICTs such as television, radio, mobile phone, computer or the Internet. In the study, life-graphs, semi-structured interviews, and indoor walking interviews are used to examine the everyday usage and interpretation of ICTs by older women, coming from various social backgrounds and living in the Austrian region of Styria. Analysing empirical material of the study, this paper focuses on the interrelation of generation-specific media practices and individual (media) biographies as they both influence older women's usage of and attitude towards ICTs. By using Maierhofer's concept of “anocriticism” as a frame for the analysis of the material in addition to Mannheim's idea of “generation location”, it becomes possible to elaborate on a more nuanced understanding of the relation between collective experiences within time and individual life-course perspectives in the context of ICTs.

It is undeniable that the significance of mobile phones in our daily life and activities is endless. The reason for this is because the mobile phone is undergoing a huge transformation and is no longer the normal communication device of the past. It has become a huge concern for entities and industries alike due to the variety of incredible features and openings that mobile phones offer. This study sounds to explore the use of mobile phone services in educational settings, banking systems, irrigation facilities, women's safety, etc., and explore the nature of mobile use in today's society. This review talks about mobile phone applications and their challenges used by mobile internet users and various applications. Today, given the large number of mobile phones and users, the security of mobile applications is very important. Identifying these challenges will assist the industries to be ready for efficient mobile application development and enable them in the successful completion of mobile application development projects. It is recommended that practitioners would contribute more attention to the frequently mentioned challenges identified in academia and industry. In future, more empirical studies are needed to revise the existing studies with more diverse practitioners.

Although this essay is about reading texts from the past, I begin with the present, with a US president who was elected despite widespread knowledge that he had infamously boasted about how he often starts kissing beautiful women without consent. “I don't even wait,” he crowed. “When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” The internet was soon flooded with angry feminist responses to his crass admission of sexual violence, retorts that appropriated his use of vulgar language with wit and resistance, the most prevalent being the meme “Pussy Grabs Back!” (see fig. 1). The Pussy Hat Project soon followed. As we know, the pussy hat phenomenon offended some who felt it was racist (not all vulvas are pink) and/or transphobic (not all women have pussies). Nevertheless, a sea of pink pussy hats, worn by persons of many embodiments and identity categories, would be seen in protest, worldwide, at the record-breaking post-inauguration Women's Marches across the globe. If “Grab ’em by the pussy” rightly offended, “Pussy Grabs Back!” gained traction.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of people towards COVID-19 and to evaluate compliance with practices such as social isolation, curfews, mask use and hand hygiene.
Methodology: A month after the COVID-19 infection was observed in Turkey, a standard questionnaire link was sent to participants via the online questionnaire platform to determine the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the public. The survey results of 503 people were evaluated.
Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic 81.2% of the participants stayed at home, 79.1% of the participants wore a mask, 74% of the participants expressed to be following social distancing rules, 54.1% confirmed the use of hand sanitizers and 43.9% confirmed the use of gloves (43.9%), which are considered to be personal protective measures. The knowledge of terms such as ‘quarantine’ and ‘isolation’ was 94% and 97.4% respectively and 37.2% of the participants were of the opinion that the COVID-19 virus was produced in a laboratory environment. Within the research group, a rate of 65.6% of the participants found their own knowledge of COVID-19 to be sufficient. The participants found the announcements of official institutions more reliable than the announcements on television programs, the internet and social media.
Conclusions: The public information on COVID-19 was found to be sufficient. In order to prevent the spreading of the pandemic, participants were partially compliant to rules such as staying at home, using masks, maintaining hand hygiene and social isolation. Compared to men, women's use of protective equipment was higher.

Community Service is one of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, especially at Garut University, it is hoped that with this community service the existence of universities can contribute to the development of scientific application to the community. In the current era of technology, which requires all small industry players to improve their abilities in the field of communication and information technology, currently internet-based technology creates a business environment that is no longer concerned with time and distance. The implementation of sales education through social media is a service to the community with the aim of helping the Sabilulungan Women's Farmers' Demplot Group to increase sales and income so that the Demplot Farmers' Group can survive in today's business competition. The activity method in community service uses a technique of delivering material verbally to the participants, this community service has a background problem because agricultural products from the Demonstration Farmer Group still sell conventional products and have not made good use of online sales using social media and e-commerce platforms. The results of the research carried out were able to innovate marketing which was originally conventional into marketing that utilizes technological developments, namely by conducting electronic marketing by utilizing social media and E-commerce platforms as sales media.

Full textAbstract:
Current empirical evidence suggests that successful adoption of eHealth systems improves maternal health outcomes, yet there are still existing gaps in adopting such systems in Uganda. Service delivery in maternal health is operating in a spectrum of inadequacy, hence eHealth adoption cannot ensue. This study set out to explore the challenges that impede eHealth adoption in women's routine antenatal care practices in Uganda. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews was employed to document challenges. These challenges were classified based on a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology constructs. One hundred and fifteen expectant mothers, aged between 18 and 49 years, who spoke either English or Luganda were included in the study that took place between January to May 2019. Thematic analysis using template analysis was adopted to analyse qualitative responses. Challenges were categorised based on five principal unified theories of acceptance and use of technology constructs namely: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and behavioural intention. Facilitating conditions had more influence on technology acceptance and adoption than the other four constructs. Specifically, the lack of training prior to using the system, technical support, computers and smart phones had a downhill effect on adoption. Subsequently, the cost of data services, internet intermittency, and the lack of systems that bridge the gap between mothers and health providers further hindered technology uptake. In conclusion, strategies such as co-development, training end-users, garnering support at the national and hospital levels should be advocated to improve user acceptance of technology.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in women's issues does not only come from women's groups, but also from men's groups. The word "masculine" which is often attached to men and "feminine" to women is in fact a form of social construction which in practice is absolutely interchangeable. It is important to trace the existence of men in the Islamic feminism movement with the aim of seeing how religion regulates the position of men and tracing the causes of discrimination against women under the guise of religion. This research is included in library research that refers to several scientific sources such as books, journals and the internet. The method used is historical continuity and interpretation to trace history and its relation to actual issues related to the existence of men and the Islamic feminism movement. From the results of the study, it was found that the existence of men in the Islamic feminism movement is a form of concern and support for issues related to gender inequality and violence against women in the name of religion as the basis of Islamic law. In addition to thinking support, the researcher also found that there was support in terms of action. For example, the campaign from the New Men's Alliance which supports the gender equality movement, that there is nothing wrong if men also help in the domestic area because cleaning the house and taking care of children is not an absolute nature of women. In addition, the existence of men can also be seen from the ideas of characters such as Asghar Ali Engineer and KH Husein Muhammad. In general, both are equally critical of the conservative views of Muslims. Criticizing the commentators who only use the Qur'an and Hadith as the only source of Islamic law without contextualizing it with the progress of civilization. As a result, misogynistic verses appear that are detrimental to one party, in this case women.

Introduction. Studies have shown that despite the fact that advertising management tools, including tools for promoting goods on the Internet have a high degree of development in the scientific works, many problems caused by the new economic conditions have not yet been reflected in them. Assessing the effectiveness of the use of various online advertising tools and the feasibility of their use for specific types of consumer goods has become extremely relevant for many businesses affected by the 2020 crisis. The purpose of this article is research of target advertising as a tool of advertising management and evaluation of its effectiveness. Results. In this article, such an advertising management tool as target advertising was analyzed, key indicators of its effectiveness were evaluated in social networks Facebook and Instagram in different periods of 2020 on the example of Instagram-women's shoe store, as well as the impact on these indicators of 2020 crisis and quarantine measures, which were introduced in Ukraine during the year. The dynamics of such indicators as the cost of a click on the ad, the cost of 1000 ad impressions, the cost of the order, etc. The dynamics of such indicators as cost of 1000 impressions of an advertisement, cost of a click (transition on advertising), CRT (click-through rate) and cost of one order of goods are analyzed. The analysis was conducted in different periods of 2020: before quarantine, in the spring, during quarantine, after quarantine. The vector of attention in the article is aimed at determining the causes and factors that caused significant fluctuations in the effectiveness of consumer goods advertising on social networks. Conclusions. The Internet as a media channel is characterized by high efficiency due to the significant spread and the ability to attract the target audience. Target advertising is one of the most effective tools of advertising management, as it focuses on the interests, habits, tastes and preferences of the target audience. Thus, it demonstrates its high efficiency, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, when most consumers shop online. Keywords: marketing, advertising management, online advertising, target advertising, social networks, key performance indicators, cost per click, cost per 1000 impressions.

Objective To estimate the extent of use of over the counter food supplements in women attending menopause clinics in the West Midlands Study design Questionnaire survey of women attending menopause clinics in Solihull Hospital, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Rugby and Walsgrave Hospitals and Birmingham Women's Hospital. Main outcome measures Type and rate of use of food supplements in hormone replacement therapy (HRT)users and nonusers and perceived benefits. Results Three hundred and forty women completed the questionnaire. 95% (n = 326) belonged to the white European ethnic group. The median age was 53 years, with 50% (n = 170) in the 50–59 years age group, and 30 % (n = 95) in the age range 40–49 years. Overall use of over the counter supplements in the clinic was 43% (n = 147), with Oil of Evening Primrose (53%) and vitamins (44%) being the most commonly used preparations. 71% (n = 242) women were users of conventional HRT. Of these, 46% were also using food supplements. The use of food supplements was higher amongst HRT users (46%) as compared to non-HRT users (32%). The use was similar between smokers and non-smokers. The most commonly perceived benefit was a feeling of well-being, 39% (n = 58/147). The proportionate use was highest in social class I and class II (51% and 54% respectively), in keeping with amount of disposable income. Friends (27%), the internet (26%) and magazines (20%) were the most commonly quoted sources of information. 79% (n = 116/147) were spending up to £10 each month on alternative remedies. 10% (n = 14/147) of women were visiting practitioners of alternative remedies. Conclusions The use of food supplements is widespread and particularly in those already taking conventional HRT. This study was not designed to test confidence in orthodox medicine, but the prevalence of use of supplements amongst menopausal women attending menopause clinics. The most commonly perceived benefit is a feeling of well-being, but users of food supplements are unsure of any additional benefit when supplements are taken in conjunction with conventional therapy. There is a misapprehension that “herbal” or “natural” equals safe. In addition, the correlation between supplement use and side effects is very seldom made, as these compounds are mistakenly considered almost universally safe, and physicians often fail to enquire about their use in routine history taking.

The implementation of sharia in business and economy makes great progress, however, in society, there are many doubts, such as in marriages. Globalization and the internet have produced a disruptive context where past habits and knowledge changed dramatically. This article shows the disruptive context, by using critics of society as a concept and use women and marriage as a case. The arguments are marriage is a local context, as well as global, the mobility of people, have made marriage accessible from people of different religions, and nationalities, however, the registering is problematic. The research uses ‘controversial’ marriage in terms of religiosity, on sirri marriage, its bat (registered marriage), contracted marriage, and marriage between people with different religions. All of these cases are ’controversial due to ineligibility to register that should be based on one religion and cases of people who resist the registering. This qualitative research finds out that marriage is a long-lasting debate and discourses that continues until now, the government has made that registering the marriage is an obligation after the marriage process in front of the religion. Marriage has changed from societal norms, a specific ritual with many symbols, to civil rights and duties. Only people with such a legitimate marriage process can claims protection under the law. Those who support polygamy, child marriage and sirri, use religious arguments, neglecting women's and children's interests. The result shows women as unprotected citizens due to polygamy, child marriage, and marriage between people with different religions. This is an agenda for the discourse of Sharia in the state and societal level that should be able to produce justice and belongings, to all citizens.

Background: Almost three-quarters of American adults use the Internet. Eighty percent of these adults use online health information resources. Ask-the-Pharmacist (ATP) services provide individualized clinical information to online consumers. Objective: To characterize the content of online queries submitted by or on behalf of women to an ATP service. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of online queries submitted to the Blue Shield of California ATP service between 2003 and 2004. Questions were characterized and analyzed using Analysis ToolPak package and SPSS software (version 12). Results: A total of 1,056 submitted queries were analyzed. The mean age of female consumers was 45.6 years (range 18–88). Thirty-three percent inquired about drug adverse effects; of these, 19% reported experiencing acute adverse reactions. Drug efficacy or indications were the subject of 26% of queries. The most common drug-related queries were about antidepressants (8.6%) and contraceptives (8.2%), with a majority interested in the adverse effects of these drug classes. Over-the-counter products accounted for 4.9% of the queries. Contraception and dermatology were the most frequent indications listed for women aged 18–35 years; for women over the age of 50 years, menopause was the most frequent indication. Conclusions: The questions asked regarding the health of female consumers reflect the fact that consumers need more information to make treatment decisions. Women want to know the differences in drug efficacy and adverse effects among different medications. Healthcare providers should be aware of these issues to better anticipate women's healthcare needs. In addition, this information may help health plans to develop specific materials targeted toward these issues.

<span>The regulation and policy in the teaching and learning process are changing during this pandemic (Covid-19). The face-to-face learning process is altered by online learning. This evolution faces numerous obstacles throughout the world including in Indonesia. Information Communication and Technologies (ICTs) have a pivotal role in supporting materials and media for tutors or teachers in learning English because teachers can provide videos, music, and any other materials in e-learning that can be accessed everywhere and anytime by pupils. Collaborative learning could boost students’ motivation to learn English so that learning can be more interesting, easier, and interactive. The aims of this research are to identify students’ attitudes towards collaborative learning with ICTs through e-learning and to compare women's and men’s attitudes towards collaborative learning with ICTs through online learning. This research is mixed research namely quantitative research with a 5-point Likert scale using a questionnaire and qualitative by interviewing the students. The research results show that most of the students agree that collaborative learning through ICTs has a positive impact on learners’ attitudes during the pandemic. Then, females have a higher percentage than males in most of the items; however, males have much more interest in using the internet for their daily life. It is expected that government should provide some training to students not only on how to use the technology but also how to utilize the technology to gain appropriate materials; then blended learning would be much better to strengthen good communication and interaction between students and educators.</span>

Full textAbstract:
Promoting rural women’s participation in off-farm work is an important way to increase their income and alleviate a shortage of off-farm labor supply. The widespread use of the Internet provides new opportunities to promote their participation in off-farm work. This paper draws on data from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) to analyze the impact of Internet use on rural women’s off-farm work participation by using a logit model and propensity score matching method. The results show that, relative to groups who do not use the Internet, rural women who use the Internet demonstrate an eight-percentage point increase in their participation in off-farm work and a greater enhancement effect on the employed model than the self-employed model. Further analysis reveals that Internet use primarily affects rural women’s participation in off-farm work in four aspects: increasing the efficiency of access to information; increasing human capital; increasing the accumulation of social capital; and changing the perception of gender roles. The heterogeneity analysis finds that when rural women are younger and more educated, Internet use will have a more pronounced effect on their off-farm work participation. As the number of minors in the household increases, Internet use has a more positive effect on rural women’s off-farm work participation. Additionally, rural women in China’s eastern and central regions are more likely to be positively impacted by Internet use than counterparts from the west. The findings provide new empirical evidence that contributes to the government’s use of the Internet to promote rural female off-farm work participation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The objective of the study was to role of social interpersonal communication on abortion decision making.Methodology: This study used a Desk top review. The analysis was largely based on literature review from previous surveys, program reports and internet search on secondary information relating to the social, interpersonal and communication.Results: From the reviewed literature, the study found out that sexual health education can help provide adolescents with decision-making information skills and Peer-reviewed programs, strategies, and resources for sexual health, mental and emotional health, injury prevention, tobacco and substance abuse, and exercise and healthy eating and issues of abortion. It was found out that programs which included knowledge, perceived risks, values, attitudes, perceived norms, and self-efficacy were found to be effective in guiding behavioural change. Adolescents showed that they are aware of the use of contraceptives but they are not easily accessible and the main reason for them to terminate the unwanted pregnancy was due to fear of rejection in the society and family. Worldwide, the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing. The second most common reason - socioeconomic concerns - includes disruption of education or employment; lack of support from the father; desire to provide schooling for existing children; and poverty, unemployment or inability to afford additional children. In addition, relationship problems with a husband or partner and a woman's perception that she is too young constitute other important categories of reasons. Women's characteristics are associated with their reasons for having an abortion: With few exceptions, older women and married women are the most likely to identify limiting childbearing as their main reason for abortion.Recommendation: Since the findings of this study was based on literature review/desktop review, the study recommends for the use of semi structured questionnaires and unstructured interview guides to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data respectively. In so doing, it will enable the researcher to compare the findings with those obtained from the desk top review. This research recommends the use of Convergent Parallel research design to arrive at an integrated summary of the predictors (quantitative research), and views and personal experiences (qualitative research) on decision making on abortion.

Full textAbstract:
The implications of digital technologies for the transformation of gender relations and identities have been discussed since the early days of the internet. Although gender studies have identified clear gender gaps in terms of digital inclusion as well as potentialities for the transformation of women’s subjectivity, there is a lack of empirical evidence of the impact of digitalization in terms of time use from a gender perspective. Public policies have begun to address the digital gender gap, but the incorporation of a gender perspective in digital inclusion programmes which promotes women’s emancipation by challenging the gender division of time through use of the internet has been not incorporated in the digital policies agenda. This article aims to provide empirical evidence of the mutual interrelation between the time allocation and digital inclusion from a gender perspective. It considers how gender inequalities in time use shape women’s experience of digital inclusion and, at the same time, how digital inclusion promotes the reconfiguration of time in women’s everyday lives. Qualitative analysis based on episodic interviews explored the representations and practices of internet use by women in their everyday lives. The sample was made up of 32 women who were digitally included through a lifelong learning programme in Spain and had experienced the effects of the Spanish economic crisis. The article argues that digital inclusion does not automatically lead to a more egalitarian allocation of time use for women, but rather places greater value on women’s free time.

The rapid development of Internet and communication technologies raises the question of what role these media and communication interfaces play in social and political movements and development in individual countries. Although activities in cyberspace, including blogging, participation in social networks and other facilities provided by the Internet for its users are a new phenomenon, they have profound effects on social and political relations in the communities involved. In the information era, Internet is an important part of social movements in democratic societies and local communities. When the government blocks other ways to mobilization, Internet may bring like-minded people together and help them to find support for action. Internet has provided a new space for social movements and the effect of the virtual activities of the users on the actions and, often on the lack of social movements is of high importance.
Meanwhile, the Iranian women’s movement, like other social movements in contemporary Iran, realizes the impact and position of cyberspace and has made use of it. Many activists, for whom other ways for expressing their demands have been blocked, have entered this space and taken advantage of it for expressing their opinions and communicating information to other people. In fact, the dominant socio-political forces and the atmosphere of repression, and fear have led many Iranian women to use the virtual space to campaign for women’s empowerment and equal rights. They have realized that the Internet may inform the outside world of the movement’s goals and activities and facilitate maintaining contact with other members of the movement. In fact, the open space that provides a platform for sharing information and has given the chance to the Iranian women’s rights activists to perform their activities in a space with a decentralized structure where there is less pressure than there is in the real world. Campaigns formed following the cyberspace market boom indicate that cyberspace has indeed ushered in a new era in the history of the Iranian women’s movement.
The present study provides an analysis of the role of the Internet in the activities of the women’s movement and explores the extent to which cyberspace has been assisting the women’s movement in achieving its objectives. By interviewing 50 active women inside Iran, the article investigates whether there has been successful interaction between cyberspace and the Iranian women’s social movement resulting from a dynamic adaptation between functions of social and political groups in the real world and the virtual world. It also examines how factors such as social participation, increasing awareness, changing beliefs, traditional views of women and social mobility have been affected by the application of the Internet, and whether cyberspace has been able to make women’s voices heard in Iran’s patriarchal society.

"The Influence of Internet Usage Frequency on Women’s Fertility Intentions—The Mediating Effects of Gender Role Attitudes."

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to verify the influence of internet usage frequency on women’s fertility intentions and to examine the mediating effects of gender role attitudes, under the influence of internet usage frequency that affects women’s fertility intentions, combined with the specific Chinese cultural context. A cross-sectional secondary data analysis was conducted using a sample of 3113 women of childbearing age in the Chinese General Social Survey in 2017 (CGSS2017). The results of the negative binomial regression model showed that, under the premise of controlling individual characteristic variables, the higher the frequency of internet usage, the lower the fertility intention (p < 0.01). The results of the mediating effect model show that the more frequently women use the internet, the lower their fertility intentions, and the less they agree with Chinese traditional gender roles, which are “men work outside to support the family while women stay at home to take care of the family”. These findings have implications in formulating public policies aimed at increasing the fertility rate; that is, it is not enough to increase women’s fertility intentions under China’s universal two-child policy. Moreover, public policy formulators need to consider gender role attitudes and the influence of the internet as a method for dissemination of information.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s use of supports for their general health, for smoking cessation, and the health of babies or children, and analyzed the women’s predictors for seeking types of support. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women were recruited for a cross-sectional survey in two regions of NSW N = 132. The 19-item survey questioned the likelihood that the participant would use the various supports for their health, to quit smoking, and for a baby or child’s health. Logistic regression analyses were performed on N = 98 with complete data. Older participants were less likely to use Facebook or the internet for their health, or the health of a child, but were more likely to consult with health professionals. Women who had quit smoking were less likely to use an app for their health compared to smokers. Women who had a child living in their household were less likely to use the internet for a child’s health. This community-based study revealed age-related differences for access to health services and differences according to smoking status. Patterns of internet and app use warrant further consideration when planning strategies to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children’s health.
