A proposal of ethical competence model for cyber security organization

A proactive cyber security plan to safeguard confidential information and privacy still lacks initiatives to avoid frequent harmful attacks. Cybersecurity professionals must possess ethical competence and prove worthy of overseeing valuable information for efficient decision‐making since ethical competence is fundamental for daily practice. There is a need to define what it means to be ethically competent in the era of IR4.0. The previous competence models still lack consideration of both artificial intelligence (AI) and emotional intelligence (EI) skills. AI brings new opportunities to cyber security organizations that focus on AI skills related to cognitive Intelligence or intelligent quotient (IQ). EI, which refers to emotional quotient (EQ), is a good predictor of ethical competence as it can perceive and express emotions precisely to facilitate thought to understand and manage emotions. However, practically, most cyber security organizations focused on AI skills and disregarded EI skills' roles. This research proposes a cyber artemotional model that blends AI skills and EI skills for cyber security employees. This research would benefit cyber security organizations with cyber artemotional model as employees ethical competence assessment, and it is in line with the demand of IR4.0.

Repercussions of Emotional Intelligence on Leaders Behaviour

There are many factors that influence the behaviour of Human Being and so as the behaviour of a Leader. The repercussions of emotional intelligence on the behaviour of the Leader are to be studied. The term Emotional intelligence (EI) is considered as an ability or capacity or skill or self-perceived ability to identify, assess and manage the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups. It becomes one of the key indicators of employee’s success at workplace. EI matters most than the Intelligent Quotient (IQ) under the premise that some people are academically good but still fail in their social and interpersonal associations. With the right emotional intelligence skills, one can have control over these emotions and be successful at workplaces. Life at workplace can be so much more enjoyable sans this emotional spitefulness. EI helps people to get to more personal and professional relationships and progress further at workplace. It is the ability to identify oneself and analyze and solve problems that enables one’s own development.

The Contribution of Personality and Intelligence Toward Cognitive Competences in Higher Education

Personality and cognition are found to be two interrelated concepts and to both have a predictive power on educational and life outcomes. With this study we aimed at evaluating the extent to which personality traits interact with cognition in acquiring cognitive competences during higher education. In a sample of university students at different stages of their career and from different fields of study, we collected Big Five traits, as a measure of personality, and Intelligent Quotient (IQ), as a proxy of cognition. A set of multiple regressions served to explore the relative contribution of IQ and personality traits on the performance on two cognitive competences tests: literacy and numeracy. Results showed that IQ highly modulated numeracy but had a moderate or no impact on literacy while, compared with IQ, personality affects literacy more. In a further explorative analysis, we observed that both the effects of personality and IQ on cognitive competences were modulated by the level of the students' career (freshmen, undergraduates, and bachelor graduates). Different traits, and particularly conscientiousness, increased or decreased their impact on achieved scores depending on the educational level, while IQ lost its effect in undergraduates suggesting that personal dispositions become more influential in advancing the academic carrier. Finally, the field of study resulted to be a predictor of numeracy, but also an important covariate altering the pattern of personality impact.

The impact of Emotional intelligence in the Digital Age

In today’s digital and automation obsessed world emotional intelligence is one important aspect which can differentiate a man from a machine. In this superbly technologically oriented world where most of us are crippled without a machine to help us it is a necessity for all of us to maintain our uniqueness in respect to machine. The uniqueness which differentiates us from a machine is our emotions towards different situations and people around us and how intelligently we handle these situations in a more human way. Simply put emotional intelligence is an aspect of human nature which helps all human being to understand themselves and others and try to overcome any problems or situations in a better way. Previously companies used to give more importance to IQ (Intelligent quotient) but now most of the companies are hiring those employees who are high on Emotional intelligence. The difference between intelligent quotient and emotional intelligence is that in intelligent quotient, people make smartdecisions irrespective of people’s feelings but in case of emotional intelligence, people make smart decisions by keeping people’s feelings in mind. The decision made by keeping in mind people’s feelings makes people happy and creates a happy and motivatedenvironment within the organization. Intelligent quotient is from birth but emotional intelligence depends on the environment we are born in and our surroundings and this can be changed according to the situation. In this digital age where the environment is constantly changing and full of challenges where people have stopped thinking about others feeling, emotional intelligence is the only way where people would start feeling a sense of belonginess, start being happy, relieved, motivated and start enjoying life to the fullest. This case study sheds light on the fact that emotional intelligence is very important in today’s automated world and also can also be a secret weapon which will help us survive and maintain our uniqueness before machine takes over human being in workplace.

Waist to Hip Ratio and Intelligent Quotient; Any Association in a Sample of Nigerian Female Population?

The assumption that intelligence and wait-to-hip ratio are inversely correlated has been a subject of debate. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between waist-top-hip ratio and intelligence quotient. A total of one hundred and fifty Nigerian women between the ages of 18 to 28 years volunteered for the study. A modified method of Stanford Binet test for intelligent quotient was administered together with the measurement of the waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) to determine the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). In addition to assessing the relationship of WHR and IQ of the whole volunteers, the volunteers were further grouped into four categories based on WHR to evaluate how WHR relate to IQ in each group. The data obtained were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test and test of correlation value at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the present study shows that the average age, WC, HC, WHR, IQ and correlation value (r2 ) of the volunteers were 22.49 years, 72.17 cm, 96.51 cm, 0.75, 53.35, 0.0009 respectively. The Pearson correlation values were poor and insignificant (P= .05) for all classes of WHR versus IQ. The study shows the correlation between WHR and IQ is poor and not significant and therefore does not support the assumption that WHR is inversely correlated to IQ.

Association between intelligent quotient and oral health conditions among 13–15 year old intellectually disabled children

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the relationship between intelligence quotient and oral health conditions among intellectually disabled children.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 13–15 year old intellectually disabled children at National Institute of Mental Health, Hyderabad. The survey comprised of classification of intellectually disabled children based on their intelligent quotient (IQ) levels along with clinical oral examination using World health organization (WHO) oral health assessment form (2013). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 21.0. p<0.05 was statistically significant.ResultsThe mean age of study participants was 13.73 ± 3.04 years. Based on IQ levels, majority of the participants had moderate retardation (41.8%) and when oral health problems were compared, greater than 50% had gingivitis with mean DMFT scores of 2.48 ± 2.1. A significant higher mean DMFT scores were observed with profound retardation (4.74 ± 2.17) (p=0.000) whereas greater preponderance for oral health problems was observed among moderately retarded subjects.ConclusionsOverall majority of the study participants were moderately retarded children and had gingivitis. The higher mean DMFT score was observed with profound retardation with statistical significance. However, Greater percentage of oral health problems were among moderately retarded children. Hence intellectually disabled children should be encouraged to take care about oral health themselves under the guidance of their care takers.

Adversity Quotient in neurosurgical training

Modern education system around the world is based on training to acquire knowledge and skills. How much a student gains largely depends upon his intelligent quotient (IQ). As IQ is not the only factor to determine success in life, some institutions have tried to assess their potential candidates by emotional quotient (EQ). As we build our career, we try develop our Spiritual Quotient (SQ) by behaving with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace. However, we remain largely unware of our Adversity Quotient (AQ), an index which actually measures how an individual face and deals with unpleasant situations so common in neurosurgical practice and present-day competitive world. Over 1500 researches from over 100 universities and institutions globally have supported its role.1,2 The leaders and the successful people have uniformly been shown to display highest AQ! If IQ measures one’s capability, EQ the will, SQ the purpose then AQ measures one’s response to adversity.
