With the development of information systems and technologies, their spread and improvement, mankind has invented a large number of ways to make life easier with the help of the Internet and electronics. The economy is also not standing still: for example, a few years ago, online stores became very popular, offering customers a wide range of products. Thanks to them, many different economic transactions are conducted every day via the Internet. As a result, the concept of e-commerce has developed rapidly. This term means doing business on global networks. In a simpler sense - trade via the Internet. In addition to stationary stores, various companies also open online ones. As a result, such companies have the opportunity to increase competitiveness, reduce costs associated with the sale of products and provide more useful and high-quality information about goods to their customers.

Objective: To analyze the quality of health information on the Internet on hemorrhoids across 5 Western languages and perform a comparative analysis of website sponsors. Summary of background data: Hemorrhoids are a common condition affecting the hemorrhoid cushions of the anal canal. Many treatment options are available. Information on the Internet on hemorrhoids is considered variable, but there is little data analysis to support this. The World Health Organization's Health On the Net (HON) accredits medical and health websites based on a code of conduct and publishes a toolbar that aids identification of such accredited websites. Methods: Using the Google search engine (http://www.google.com, Google, Mountain View, California), searches were performed using 11 keywords related to hemorrhoids in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Health On the Net accreditation was determined to assess quality website information. The first 150 websites in each language had their adherence to the HON principles analyzed, and English websites were analyzed to determine sponsorship source. Results: Of the 8250 websites analysed, 586 (7.1%) were found to HON-accredited. The rate of HON accreditation ranged from 2.0% (piles) to 10.0% (hemorrhoids), with higher-ranking results having higher rates of HON accreditation (P < 0.001). Conclusion: There is a paucity of high-quality information on the Internet; however, the Google search algorithm prioritizes high-quality information in its web search results.

Because of the extreme demands made by continuously escalating offender populations on already scarce prison space and program resources, a number of laissez-faire management approaches have been exposed as deficient. Forcing offenders to adhere to availability-driven models results in frequent misalignment of correctional responses, often with excessive financial and human costs. A developing trend toward data-based, objective approaches and the use of high-quality information systems has direct implications for prison resource management. Decisions regarding both individual offenders and systemwide policy can benefit from these evolving models. However, management ingenuity will not be equal to the task if extraprison forces are not simultaneously examined and modified.

In this article we discuss the effort made by the Internet Pilot to Physics (TIPTOP) project to develop a uniform and open information infrastructure for physics research and education. We discuss concepts such as communication in research and education, the importance of distributed indexing and catalogs, and briefly the use of new technology such as VRML and Java. We also stress the importance of developing and using standardized protocols and formats such as the Summary Object Interchangeable Format (SOIF) and Thematic Uniform Resource Agents (TURA). TIPTOP has rapidly grown to be one of the most popular physics Internet knowledge servers, and the recently established collaboration with the European Physical Society is an important step forward in developing a stable framework of high quality information for researchers and educators.
