Abstract A demand model was developed and applied to a nationally representative sample of unmarried, pregnant teenagers drawn from the National Longitudinal Surveys in order to identify the economic determinants of abortion Measures of the opportunity costs of pregnancy were found to play a major role in the individual's decision to give birth or to abort Economic variables in the analysis included predicted wages, local area unemployment rates, other family income, poverty status, and school enrollment status Other factors found to be significant were age, ethnicity, and religiosity In general, young women in favorable economic circumstances were substantially more likely than others to abort a pregnancy

Die Dynamik, mit der sich das Internetrecht weiterentwickelt, ist ungebrochen: eBay, Keyword Advertising, den Verbraucherschutz im eCommerce, Filesharing und grenzüberschreitende Onlinesachverhalte. Allein die hierzu seit der vergangenen Auflage ergangene Rechtsprechung sowie die gesetzgeberischen Aktivitäten hätten eine Neuauflage erforderlich gemacht. Die vorliegende Auflage behandelt zudem neue Entwicklungen wie Cloud Computing, Soziale Netzwerke, Screen Scraping und Geodatendienste, die alle eine ganze Reihe neuer Rechtsfragen, insbesondere im Bereich des Datenschutzes aufwerfen. Die Konzeption des Buches ist unverändert. Eingeführt wird in die Grundlagen des Rechts des Internet, insbesondere des elektronischen Handels in seiner praktischen Anwendung. Einführungsfälle, die den einzelnen Kapiteln vorangestellt sind und die im Laufe der Darstellung gelöst werden, erleichtern den raschen Einstieg in die Materie. Auch in seiner Neuauflage fokussiert der Band wiederum die wirtschaftlich relevanten Fragen des Internetrechts. Dem hieran interessierten Juristen in Ausbildung und Praxis wird er daher eine wertvolle Hilfe sein. (Verlagswerbung)

The article deals with the problem of ethnic identity of Tajik teenagers studying in high schools in Novosibirsk. Special attention is paid to the relationship between ethnic identity and self-esteem of Tajik adolescents. Self-esteem can indirectly influence adaptation in society. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the fusion of ethnic identity with self-esteem was shown in Tajik adolescents, which explains the difficulties of inculturation among them and the tendency to stay closer to their fellow tribesmen. The study involved Tajik teenagers, citizens of the Russian Federation who speak Russian, aged 15-17 years, high school students of secondary schools in Novosibirsk, (76 people). There are 40 girls and 36 boys among the subjects. To study self-esteem, the "Self-Confidence Test" by G. Romek and the "Self-Confidence Scale" by S. Reizas "RAS" were used. To study ethnic identity, the methodology "Types of Ethnic Identity" by G.U. Soldatova was used, as well as the methodology "Structure of Ethnic Identity" by J. Finney. It is shown that Tajik teenagers who tend to adequately perceive their ethnic identity, as well as those who tend to place excessive emphasis on ethnic identity, have higher self-confidence indicators. The ethnic identity of the studied group is quite harmonious. There were direct moderate links between ethno-fanaticism, ethno-isolationism and self-confidence, and ethno-nihilism correlated with self-doubt. It is concluded that the self-confidence and self-esteem of Tajik teenagers is associated with their ethnic identity, which gives them a sense of belonging to 'their own group'. Their self-confidence depends on being included in a group of fellow tribesmen, being an integral part of collectivism. The titular ethnic group, Russians, are not perceived as 'their own group'. The practical significance is seen in the possibility of using the results obtained in psychocorrective work with Tajik adolescents who experience difficulties in psychosocial adaptation in Russia.

The purpose of this study is to examine how demographics, addiction symptoms, information literacy, parenting styles and internet activities can predict 'internet risks'. Data were gathered from a probability sample of 718 adolescents and teenagers, aged 9–19 in Hong Kong, using face-to-face interviews. Results show that adolescents who are often targets of harassment tend to be older boys with a high family income. They are targets probably because they spend a lot of time on social networking sites (SNSs) and prefer the online setting. Adolescents who encounter a lot of unwelcome solicitation of personal or private information online tend to be older girls. In information literacy, they are generally very competent with publishing tools but are not structurally literate, especially in understanding how information is socially situated and produced. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
