Information Seeking Behavior - Science topic

Many business companies in internet marketing collect and analyze comments, posts, entries, etc. from social media portals.

It is also done by some financial institutions, banks acquiring additional information about potential borrowers and insurance companies against possible conclusion of insurance contract. Commercially operating companies and financial institutions operate in this area on the border of the law on the protection of personal data.

Until this type of acquisition of information about potential customers is legally regulated, then commercially operating companies and financial institutions will conduct such activity. In addition, the issue of the security of this type of data about users of social media portals is of particular importance, as there have been effective cybercriminal attacks that resulted in the theft of personal data of users of social media portals.

I invite you to the discussion

The problems of the analysis of information contained on social media portals for marketing purposes are described in the publication:

I invite you to discussion and cooperation. Greetings

Dear Muhammad Haidhar Bin Ibrahim,

The rhetorical structure underlying the abstract encompasses at least five moves some of which are obligatory and some are optional. In the abstract, move one is optional and is used to establish a general background for the topic. Move two introduces the research problem. Move three discusses the methodology required for solving the problem. Move four reports the research findings. Finally, move five, which is also optional, reports the possible implications. Naturally, the conclusion section involves an entirely different rhetorical structure with its own unique moves. The conclusion should report the following :

1) Resrare the research topic and explain why it is important,

2) Breifly summarize main points,

3) interpret the results,

4) Make a logical generalization,

5) Point out implications,

6)Point out limitations ,

7) Provide suggestions for further research

There are tons of literature about adult patients receiving diagnosis of a terminal illness, but only a handful about parents' reactions towards their children receiving the diagnosis of ASD. Actually, individual family's reaction depends largely on different cultures, family climate, parents' education and socioeconomic backgrounds, understanding of their children's condition, as well as their perceived information and instrumental social support available.

For example, in Singapore context, generally well-educated (both parents have at least diploma or degree education), middle-income families are mostly concerned about the child's schooling and available intervention programmes following a diagnosis. They do not really over-react to, deny, or are angry about the diagnosis as long as the condition and available supportive services is well communicated to them.

If you would like to know more about their specific emotions towards having a child diagnosed with ASD, may be you can read these two articles:

I suggest you ask medical professionals at different stages of their careers. There are many sources of information and what are the go to sources vary widely according to context.

Increasingly reliable, curated and condensed sources of information are being used. Popular sources for doctors in training include Up To Date, Wikipedia, online electronic pharmaceutical advice portals such as MIMS, curated platforms overseen by professional societies, medical journals and professional guidelines.

In addition some individuals are now leveraging social media platforms for the purposes of information streaming such as Twitter, Facebook and Google+. The advantage of using social media for this purpose is that you can tailor the inflow of information according to your needs. A number of professional organizations and quality medical journals are now active via these particular platforms.

I agree with Davida about approaching your local librarian. In addition the Journal of Medical Internet Research has a number of publications over the last 2-3 years which are relevant to this topic.

I understand that cultures at the individual, organizational ad national levels are related and therefor

Furthermore, every organization creates its own "habitus"

Therefore information culture of organization is more of a sociological term than a technological term, and it must consider the K* perspective

Thank you, Michele!

HI

Dear Lonny, sorry it took me a while to respond! Your post is very interesting. The complexity of the relationship between genetic expression and behavioural ones is immense. This brings me back to the possible mediators of these relationships. I did have an idea, which is not based on any specific research, it is only a humble hypothesis based on the works of others. The construction of schemas from early life have a physiological basis, as I do not think that they are separate systems, we just do not have enough convergence of evidence to indicate definite relationships and would need far more sophisticated technology , which will still take time. Depending on the emotions associated with a schema, certain external events may trigger physiological vulnerabilities, and it is viable that discomfort/anxiety is a form of early warning system that multi-level organic and psychological damage may occur unless specific events are in some way avoided. That being said,different meta cognitive processes, direct cognitive processes,locking in certain dysfunctionalities (or functions) - see the works of Beck, and Wells and Matthews - that in turn may then trigger physiological reactions (with gene expression being altered) in an attempt to protect the emotional homeostasis of an individual and avoid allostatic load. I presume that this can be both functional and dysfunctional, so it could act as a protective factor from disease, or play a major role in it. The concept of a fear of disease/mortality could be conceptualized differently by people, and the need to maintain psychological functioning may override other factors, however once specific physiological alterations have occurred, dysfunctionality may be increased and interpreted from a content viewpoint as internal evidence of threat to homeostasis, thus the idea of different way to survive makes a great deal of sense to me.

Hope that I have explained myself well, let me know if I have.
