The proliferation of internet access, encompassing nearly 60% of the global population, has ushered in an era of unprecedented connectivity and information exchange. However, this digital revolution is marred by a significant challenge: a substantial portion of internet users lacks the fundamental knowledge and awareness necessary to navigate online risks securely. This paper addresses the urgent need to bolster network security in academic institutions through user education and awareness programs. Drawing from a comprehensive study, we assess the impact of these initiatives on students, faculty, and staff. We find that while awareness and participation levels vary, these programs have positively influenced network security awareness and practices. Notably, they have increased awareness of potential threats, improved incident reporting, and reduced phishing attempts. However, challenges persist, including the need for more extensive and dynamic program delivery. This paper contributes valuable insights into the critical role of user education and awareness programs in fortifying academic network security and fostering a culture of cyber resilience.

Los pacientes con hipertensión pulmonar (HP) tienen un mayor riesgo de mortalidad y morbilidad perioperatoria. Los objetivos de la consulta preanestésica son garantizar que el estado del volumen intravascular, la oxigenación, la presión arterial (PA) y la frecuencia cardíaca (FC) se encuentren en un rango óptimo. Los tratamientos crónicos deben continuar sin interrupción en el periodo perioperatorio y así minimizar los factores que exacerban la enfermedad y empeoran el pronóstico.

Journal Area:ABSTRACT:
The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of the roles played by the stakeholders on the structure of a coopetition between very small entreprises. This structure is perceived through the prism of cross-views between clients, chargers and clandos. Our approach is constructivist, adopting an exploratory qualitative methodology with primary data collected from a questionnaire, administered to 14 chargers, 321 clandos and 335 clients. We used factorial correspondence analysis to process the data. The results indicate that stakeholders playing the roles of controller and regulator favour cooperative coopetition. When they play the roles of mediator and facilitator, they favour balanced coopetition in which cooperation and competition are equal. Finally, when stakeholders play the roles of communicator and coordinator, they favour competitive coopetition. The theoretical implication of this research complements the theory of coopetition by showing that stakeholders in a coopetitive environment influence the structure of coopetition. As a managerial contribution, we suggest that organizational managers take into account the influence of stakeholders in a coopetitive ecosystem in order to implement a dynamic strategy based on the actors involved. One prospect is to test our results using a quantitative approach and hypothetico-deductive reasoning with an analytical framework based on the theory of dynamic capabilities.
