Does Cultural Hofstede dimension "Indulgence versus Restraint" impact the Corporate Performance

Jordan, as an Arab country located in the Middle East, began to pay attention to change. Jordanian society began to move from an old-style state to a contemporary state. Where globalization had a significant impact on culture, either in terms of individual culture and organizational culture. On the other hand, many studies emphasized that culture through its dimensions has an important role in influencing the corporate atmosphere or corporate social responsibility, as well as affecting the financial performance of companies. Moreover, the literature indicates that cultural dimensions influence the conduct of individuals and the performance of firms. . The literature indicated that there are different dimensions of culture, including Hofstede's dimensions of culture, which are Power Distance Index; Individualism versus collectivism; Masculinity versus Femininity; Uncertainty Avoidance index; Long-versus Short- Term Orientation; Indulgence versus Restraint. This study focused on the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension, as a recent dimension, where through the literature it can be predicted the existence of a critical role for the indulgence dimension on performance. After reviewing the literature related to the Indulgence dimension, it was found that there is a shortage and almost no local studies conducted in Jordan regarding the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension. Since this dimension is new, this paper stresses the importance of more research on this subject to expand the local literature on Indulgence and its impact on the performance in the Jordan context and compare it with other countries in order to provide important and useful results for the policymakers.

Functional human genes typically exhibit epigenetic conservation

Recent DepMap CRISPR-Cas9 single gene disruptions have identified genes more essential to proliferation in tissue culture. It would be valuable to translate these finding with measurements more practical for human tissues. Here we show that DepMap essential genes and other literature curated functional genes exhibit cell-specific preferential epigenetic conservation when DNA methylation measurements are compared between replicate cell lines and between intestinal crypts from the same individual. Culture experiments indicate that epigenetic drift accumulates through time with smaller differences in more functional genes. In NCI-60 cell lines, greater targeted gene conservation correlated with greater drug sensitivity. These studies indicate that two measurements separated in time allow normal or neoplastic cells to signal through conservation which human genes are more essential to their survival in vitro or in vivo.

CENTRAL MUSEUM OF THE ARMY: AN OBVIOUS EXPRESSION OF ALGERIAN SOVEREIGNTY AND A MODEL TO PRESERVE THE NATION’S MEMORY

Through this research, we are trying to reach knowledge of the importance of the relationship between tourism and museums, we learn about the concept, emergence and development of museums and tourism, and its impact on the economy, there is an indication that tourism has a positive impact on the prosperity of the economy of the countries that developed their museums, where visiting museums has become An individual culture develops from the birth of the individual, as a large audience flocks to visit the museum and tourist attractions, and the Central Museum of the Army in Algeria is a great monument that attracts a large number of audiences annually, compared to other museums in Algeria.

SOCIAL ACCULTURATION, WORKPLACE INCIVILITY AND DIVERSITY

The advent and dissemination of technology had made it possible for people to move from one region to another. The movement of people from one geographical area to another resulted in the transfer and exchange of cultures and ways of life. When individuals move from one location to another, they often experience culture shock, given that the culture they are used to is different from the one they have gone to. To adapt, these individuals had to learn and accept the new way of life so as to successfully live and work in a new environment. The process by which an individual acquire, adjusts, and adapts to a new culture is known as social acculturation. In this article, an analysis is made on the impact of social acculturation on the efforts to fight workplace incivility and in the promotion of diversity and inclusivity. The analysis showed that. Through social acculturation, individuals who visited a new environment for the first time experienced acculturative stress. The stress caused those affected to behave in a way that fostered incivility at the workplace. Some of the incivil behaviors expressed by immigrant workers include absenteeism, laziness at work, depression, among others. Social acculturation had also played a role in the assimilation of bad behaviors carried from one culture into a new one by replacing them with the most dominant culture, thus eliminating work-related incivility among new immigrants. Social acculturation had also been crucial in enhancing inclusivity and diversity. Social acculturation enabled the sharing of different cultures through the exchange of food, language, and religion. These cultural phenomenon played important roles in bringing people from diverse backgrounds together, thus fostering diversity and inclusivity regardless among global populations regardless of individual culture and social backgrounds. Acculturation had also played a key role in enhancing globalization which is the most significant arena where diversity and inclusivity play out. By exchanging and adapting to a new culture, people were able to work and live together in peace and harmony.

Assessing MITRE ATT&CK Risk Using a Cyber-Security Culture Framework

The MITRE ATT&CK (Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge) Framework provides a rich and actionable repository of adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures. Its innovative approach has been broadly welcomed by both vendors and enterprise customers in the industry. Its usage extends from adversary emulation, red teaming, behavioral analytics development to a defensive gap and SOC (Security Operations Center) maturity assessment. While extensive research has been done on analyzing specific attacks or specific organizational culture and human behavior factors leading to such attacks, a holistic view on the association of both is currently missing. In this paper, we present our research results on associating a comprehensive set of organizational and individual culture factors (as described on our developed cyber-security culture framework) with security vulnerabilities mapped to specific adversary behavior and patterns utilizing the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Thus, exploiting MITRE ATT&CK’s possibilities towards a scientific direction that has not yet been explored: security assessment and defensive design, a step prior to its current application domain. The suggested cyber-security culture framework was originally designed to aim at critical infrastructures and, more specifically, the energy sector. Organizations of these domains exhibit a co-existence and strong interaction of the IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) networks. As a result, we emphasize our scientific effort on the hybrid MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise and ICS (Industrial Control Systems) model as a broader and more holistic approach. The results of our research can be utilized in an extensive set of applications, including the efficient organization of security procedures as well as enhancing security readiness evaluation results by providing more insights into imminent threats and security risks.

The concept of the individual «culture of self-education of a modern» university graduate student

Актуальность статьи обусловлена процессами глобализации и международной интеграции, определившими новые требования к компетенциям и основным трудовым функциям работников на всех уровнях, которые лежат в основе определения компетенций. Это, в свою очередь определило изменение парадигмы образования, что нашло отражение в государственных стандартах высшего образования. Одновременно с концепцией образования в течение всей жизни, расширением коммуникативного поля, особую значимость обретают не только процессы самообразования и саморазвития выпускника учебного заведения, но и процесс формирования культуры его самообразования. Цель статьи заключается в определении сущности и содержания данного понятия, которое сформулировано авторами на основе анализа и классификации психолого-педагогической, философской и социологической литературы. Статья предназначена для педагогов высшего, среднего профессионального уровней образования. Тhe relevance of the article is devoted to the discussion of the processes of globalization and international integration, which have defined new requirements for the competencies and basic labor functions of employees at all levels. These, in its turn, are the basis for the definition of students’ competencies as the main subject of research. It also helps to define changes in the educational paradigm, which is reflected in the state standards of higher education. Simultaneously with the concept of Lifelong Learning (LLL) and the expansion of the communicative field, it is not just the processes of self-education and self-development, but the process of forming a culture of self-education of a graduate student of an educational institution that is of particular importance. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and content of this concept (culture of self-education), which is formulated by the authors on the basis of the analysis and classification of psychological, pedagogical, philosophical and sociological literature. The article is intended to be useful for teachers of higher and secondary professional levels of education.
