The objective of this research was to gain a deeper comprehension of how individuals perceive and respond to cybersecurity and how various internal and external factors influence these behaviors and attitudes. Conducted at ABC organization in Saudi Arabia, the study employed the qualitative methodology. Two online focus groups were employed featuring open-ended questions. The data were subsequently analyzed thematically using inductive and deductive coding techniques. Several theories were used as theoretical lenses to analyze the data. After the collected data had been analyzed, three main themes emerged: (a) perceived safeguards and threats, (b) personal and professional experience in information security, and (c) necessity of education and raising awareness. Additionally, two sub-themes were revealed: (a) costs and benefits and (b) necessity of safeguard measures and attaining trust. The study’s identified themes and sub-themes offer a thorough comprehension of the demographic, social, cultural, and internalized factors influencing cybersecurity-related behavior. The identified themes could potentially be applicable to other settings. Future qualitative research could further explore the transferability of these findings by conducting similar studies in different organizational, cultural, and linguistic contexts. It is also recommended for future quantitative research to delve deeper than surface-level data and consider underlying meaning, factors, connections, or relationships that may skew the results. It is crucial to delve into hidden meanings, not just accept data at face value.

Herein, modern green synthesis approaches are studied to assemble N-heterylarenes scaffolds via a non-catalyzed intramolecular 5/6-exo-dig cyclocondensation reaction based on the in-situ generation of arenehydrazonopentan-/hexan-2-one. Accordingly, the formation of two N-heteryl moieties, pyrazol-1-yl and pyridazin-1(4H)-yl, was initially studied. Therefore, appropriate fluorophenyl was first converted into their respective phenylhydrazine by SNAr reaction and then reacted with different trigonal carbonyl bielectrophiles (-CO-, -CO₂R, and -CO₂H) in ethanol in the presence of US, MW, IR, and an IR· US irradiation mixture. Cyclic nitrogenous cores were best obtained when subjected to microwave irradiation with ketone and arylhydrazine as starting reagents, allowing them to get excellent yields quickly. Arylhydrazine reactants featuring Π-donor groups underwent the best 5/6-exo-dig type annulment reaction. Presumably, the observed improvements in EDG-dependent reaction efficiency reflect changes in the nucleophilicity of arylhydrazines intermediates as α-nucleophilic reactants.

A series of new 4-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-containing polysubstituted pyrroles 3 a-k has been synthesized by a preparative convenient method from ethyl 5-chloro-4-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates 1 a-e, which were selectively transformed into the corresponding polysubstituted pyrrole-4-carboxylic acids 2 а-е using sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizer. Further, they were transformed into the target compounds with a high yield using the cyclocondensation with N-mono- or N,N-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides in the boiling phosphorus trichloroxide. As seen from the screening of antimicrobial activity, the synthesized compounds exhibit the inhibiting and bactericide activity against some bacteria and fungi. The highest activity has been established for the compounds 3 a, c, e-h, j against the strain Klebsiella pneumoniae (МІС=31.25 µg/mL). The calculated HOMO energy level proves that the compound 3 с is the most reactive ligand for the interaction with a protein receptor. The molecular docking data show that the compound 3 h has the highest affinity to the ThiM Klebsiella pneumoniae kinase.

An examination of two areas of promotion and assortment planning in an environment is attempted in this paper. Sales promotion is a marketing strategy used by retailers to increase sales and profits by retaining customers and preventing them from switching to their competitors. Various products are available on the market that can substitute each other, so the best product assortment must be determined as well. In order to model the above subject, a nonlinear integer programming problem is proposed. Model solution involves rephrasing the problem as mixed integer linear programming. Small- and medium-sized problems can therefore be solved using MIP solver software. Firefly algorithms are designed to solve large-scale problems. According to the numerical results, determining the best product assortment for stores must also be done simultaneously with finding the optimal promotion. As a matter of fact, the promotion of the products significantly affects the assortment scenarios for the stores. Consequently, the selection of the promotional discount may result in large profit losses if the assortment planning is not taken into consideration. In order to assess the importance and sensitivity of the model parameters, a sensitivity analysis is conducted. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the model is able to respond to changes in market demand and competition, and provides an effective tool for chain stores to optimize their promotion and assortment strategies. To further validate the effectiveness of the model, a case study is conducted in Tehran, Iran. The results of the case study demonstrate the ability of the model to effectively optimize promotion and assortment strategies in real-world settings. Overall, the proposed model provides a valuable tool for chain stores to optimize their promotion and assortment strategies, and improve their market competitiveness.

The aim of this study is to assess and rank Anadolu Sigorta Company's sustainability performance between 2018 and 2022 using the hybrid SWARA-MEREC-COBRA model.
