The world is navigating through unfamiliar and incomprehensible times – COVID-19, international economic crisis, and crumbling healthcare systems. The United States (US) healthcare industry is grappling with an increased workload and advancing digitization technological concerns. The failure of organizations to offer suitable cybersecurity controls within the critical infrastructure leads to advanced persistent threat (APT) that could have incapacitating effects on organizations. A keen understanding of cybersecurity is vital for leaders and the need is referenced in US policy that advances a national unity of effort to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. Akin to the Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 21 Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, leaders’ goals should be to reduce vulnerabilities, identify and disrupt threats, minimize consequences and hasten response and recovery efforts related to critical infrastructure. To address the concern, it is necessary to review how AI and AR serve as co-technologies to support security of patient care and monitoring, examine impacts on individuals’ and overall healthcare organizations, address how enhanced comprehension of AI and AR could guide medical professional leaders’ decisions and boost the overall patient experience. Therefore, this literature review examines AI and AR connections to cybersecurity for the healthcare environment.

This inquiry concerns managerial adaptability and strategic planning of a mental health organization attempting to adapt to the marketplace and business disruption of COVID-19. The medical group has seen a noteworthy decreased in revenue of more than three-quarters (80 percent). It is for this reason, that it is imperative for the MHMG to carefully examine the presented issue and immediately strategize ways to address such issue. This analysis intends to review the literature and engage in action organizational development research to provide an understanding of the issue, its severity and spread as well as propose appropriate recommendations that could alleviate the business complexities that have been created by the pandemic.

In today’s modern digitizing manufacturing landscape, new and emerging technologies can shape how an organization can compete, while others will view this as a necessity to survive as manufacturing has been identified as a critical infrastructure. Universities struggle to hire university professors that are adequately trained or willing to enter academia due to competitive salary offers in the industry. Meanwhile, the demand for fields such as Artificial Intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity continuously rises with no foreseeable drop in demand in the next several years. This results in organizations deploying technologies with an inadequate staff that understands what new cybersecurity risks they are introducing into the company. Examined are how organizations can potentially mitigate some of the risk associated with integrating these new technologies and developing their workforce to be better prepared for looming changes in technological skill need. With the over a 10 % growth in organizations deploying Artificial Intelligence, the current cybersecurity workforce needs are over half a million. A struggle to find a viable workforce this research paper aims to serve as a guide for Information Technology managers and senior management to foresee the cybersecurity risks that will result from the incorporation of these new technological advances into the organization.

The aim of this work is to provide a cogent review of biomarketing. This review work will pave the way for the study of how brand engagement and buying decision could be understood through the biological perspective by holistic and strategic marketing communications. The methods used was the mining of relevant literature and websites on marketing with perspective of biology. Biomarketing is an emerging discipline that traverse the fields of social and biological science. Biomarketing pose that the interactions between salespeople and customers can be studied from a biological perspective. The emerging research in marketing studies of buyer–seller interactions has explored the role of genes, hormones, and pleasure and pain processes. Clarity in health communication aid customer understanding of brand information. Future work in biomarketing field would be to investigate the mechanistic association of biomarkers in brain and blood of customers with the brand and the market benefits.

Military and civilian higher education institutions play a particularly important role in training future specialists. Changes in society, globalization, competitiveness, increased competition for human and financial resources are some of the factors that drive change within civilian higher education institutions and increase the pressure to achieve performance at an increasingly higher level. In the case of military higher education institutions, the pressure to achieve higher and higher performance is higher because, in addition to the factors that determine changes within civilian higher education institutions, there are also factors specific to the military environment, a dynamic environment, in constant transformation. In order to cope with change, to develop and increase the quality of the educational act, military and civilian higher education institutions must become “learning organizations”, becoming flexible, adaptable, involving teachers in achieving the proposed goals, using creativity, and their knowledge.

The protection of forces in the new world conflicts has become a particularly important issue for all the world’s armies. Therefore, ensuring an optimal level of protection, combined with maintaining freedom of movement in the tactical field has become a very important topic for research teams. This goal can be achieved by using materials in the protection of forces with a relatively low mass, but to ensure a substantial reduction in the kinetic energy of ballistic penetrators. In this paper are presented some considerations on how the ballistic penetration process is affected by the presence of ceramic materials.

The field of campaign services is currently the most complex area of logistical support, as it covers a wide range of services, requires cooperation between military bodies and various institutions, entities involved in providing them and requests promptness from planning and logistics management bodies in immediately solving the various problems that may arise. I set out to make an “radiography” of this complex field of logistics aiming to identify its general aspects in the processes of organization and assurance, as they manifest themselves at the level of a tactical unit

The planning process in every domain represents the first fundamental process; also, the physical and sport activity needs meticulous planning of the activity so that the density of the physical lessons and the efficiency to be at a high level. Our study is based on a questionnaire undertaken by ten physical education teachers from Sibiu City regarding planning the PE activity, the efficiency of the methods used in planning the activity, and other essential problems that occurred in the process of planning the PE activity. The research found out that the planning activity must be changed and adapted to children’s new needs in teachers’ opinion. Also, the documents are often too many and sometimes useless occupying teachers’ time and not being so efficient. The research conclusions are that planning the PE activity is a significant activity and new ways of planning and new curriculum should be added, and many inefficient documents should disappear so that the teachers’ time is used more efficiently.
