Egymással a biztonságért

The basic reason for foundation of the Counter-terrorism Information and Criminal Analyses Centre (further CICAC) in 2016 were the changes in the field of terrorism and criminality, first of all of organised criminality and extremist organisations, which required to set up an organisation that can support the decisions of the government by tactical and strategic analysis and proposals in overall security approach. This new type of task system, like information fusion and information sharing tasks, demands from colleagues of the new organisation a significantly more information conscious, and from their leaders a knowledge-management based cooperation and communication. This new organisation received a wide-ranging authorisation for fulfilment of tasks, it can gather data even by direct electronic data connection. Therefore, there are special competence requirements for colleagues of CICAC – beside the general requirements – an outstanding level of reliability, solid morality and loyalty to the organisation. All these aspects were not only reasonable but even necessary to take into consideration in formation of the new organisation management system of CICAC. The sustainable competitiveness of the new organisation demanded to lay down basics for a special, self-developing organisational culture at the earliest opportunity. For that was unavoidable that the continuously appearing new values at CICAC – especially organisational values – find expression in the daily practice, even that they become a solid value system. This value-based approach could result in development of – by now already clearly existing – integration community. Beyond that appeared as a prominent duty the formation of an effective and fruitful cooperation with partner organisations, emphasised with law enforcement organisations, with organisations of national security and of public service. Simultaneously the cooperation can only reach a high-level if its content and formal frames are clearly defined for and accepted by everybody. CICAC will celebrate its fifth anniversary this year. The organisation has chosen the slogan „Together for Security” for the five years jubilee. In this context, Dr. Tibor Takács, pol. major general, director general of CICAC was interviewed by Dr. Valér Dános, editor-in-chief of Belügyi Szemle.

In recent years, one of the government’s key strategic objectives has been to recruit adequate staff for the civil service and to employ well-prepared, committed and dedicated staff. For this it is necessary to know exactly organizational expectations regarding the entrants and to define the competence requirements. In our study, we present the partial results of an empirical research (KÖFOP 2.1.5. project) on the basic expectations of public service organizations in relation to new entrants. In the research we used an interview and questionnaire method. The results show that organizations expect compliance, effective work, and psychological resilience from career starters. It also turned out that there are significant differences between the competence requirements of law enforcement, central administration and local government in several cases. It should be emphasized that, the actual level of competence of career starters almost always falls short of organizational expectations. Our results show that public administration and law enforcement organizations must pay special attention to the definition and development of competencies, their application in the selection of the workforce, and the operation of competency management. Emphasizing also that the mismatch between organizational expectations and the needs of the younger generation hinders the integration and retention of the workforce and raises the issue of career management, generational change and the competitiveness of the civil service.

Published: August 2021

Gifted workers form a special group within the work organizations. Their complex intellectual abilities, special behavior and personality characteristics allow a unique way of seeing things. This is the basis for deviation from the traditional solutions, and an outstanding domain-specific performance, too. The aim of this study is to present the psychological foundations of the new law-enforcement talent management system. We describe the particular traits of the gifted adults, and their specific occupational preferences. We overview the talent concepts existing within the specific context of the world of work. We present the intrapersonal dynamics of the talented worker’s personality, furthermore we discuss the possible problems which can derive from the interactions between the talented person and the work environment. Finally, we discuss how can we help their integration, and how can the gifted individuals contribute to the organisational innovation.
A kompetenciafejlesztés lehetőségei a rendészetben

This paper endeavours to examine the trends, possibilities and good practices in competence development in Hungarian law enforcement. In the past decades, competence-based approaches have appeared in law enforcement and, parallel with it, in law enforcement training. Leadership competences in law enforcement have been identified (Malét-Szabó, 2013), and, based on these, a new procedure for leader selection in law enforcement has been created along with the renewal of leader-training. The other major area of competence development, this paper aims to highlight, is the identification of basic competences (Malét-Szabó et al., 2018) as well as the formation of leadership competency profiles and talent competency profiles. A complex competency system has been developed, serving as a basis for the Two-Level Integrated Aptitude Testing System (KLIR). Two important elements of the recently introduced new aptitude system (see Ministry of Interior Decree No. 45/2020 BM) are a competency test supported by the KOMP system, and an individual competence development plan. These inevitably require the continued improvement of the competence-based nature of our training and training system.

Authors: Suarez Francisco Tobar , López María Fernanda , Gavilanes María José , Monteros Marco Federico , García Tatiana Santander , Graham Catherine Helen
Published: August 2021

Three new species of Lepanthes from Ecuador are described and illustrated. These additions to the Ecuadorean flora were recorded in evergreen montane forest and páramo as part of three different research projects conducted during the last five years (2016–2021). Lepanthes oro-lojaensis was discovered in the southwest of El Oro province and is similar to L. jimburae, differing mainly in the much smaller plants, inflorescences and floral parts. Lepanthes microprosartima from the western slopes of Pichincha volcano in northern Ecuador resembles L. obandoi but differs in the coloration of the leaves, the inflorescence that are shorter than the leaves and the smaller floral appendix. Lepanthes caranqui, found in eastern Pichincha and Imbabura, is most similar to L. pachychila but differs from it in its much larger plants and different shape of the petals and the floral appendix. Preliminary assessments of the conservation status of the three taxonomic novelties are provided, using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
Du mot à la chose : le travail (dé)construit par le droit ?
Authors: Didry Claude
Published: August 2021

En dépit des réformes El Khomri et Macron, le droit du travail demeure la référence majeure pour une population active où prédomine l’emploi stable. Pour expliquer une telle situation, le texte revient sur la genèse du droit du travail. Il s’interroge en premier lieu, à partir d’une lecture du Capital , sur la difficulté de saisir le travail pour les acteurs, dans une société rurale dominée par la production à domicile où domine la référence au louage d’ouvrage. Concept analytique de l’économie classique, le travail devient progressivement un concept opératoire pour observer une réalité sociale, avant d’entrer dans la langue du travail à partir de l’adoption d’un code du travail. Résultat d’un travail normatif contribuant à son identification par les acteurs dans leur vie sociale, le travail comme objet du contrat de travail représente l’activité d’un individu, le travailleur, pour un autre, l’employeur. Mais le contrat de travail constitue également la porte d’entrée dans une collectivité, le personnel de l’établissement en ouvrant la voie à une représentation syndicale et élective porteuse d’une normativité du travail .
Co-construire les services publics locaux : une approche stratégique de la participation des parties prenantes externes. Cas de l’analyse des besoins sociaux dans des centres communaux d’action sociale
Authors: Carmouze Laura , Alaux Christophe , Fouchet Robert
Published: August 2021

Cet article cherche à comprendre comment les managers territoriaux se représentent le processus de co-construction des services publics locaux. Nous retenons de la littérature un modèle de co-construction issu de l’analyse de l’action privée et de l’action publique à l’échelle nationale. Le management stratégique et la co-création de valeur renvoient aux caractéristiques de la co-construction, l’innovation managériale / sociale et l’ empowerment sont des opportunités. Le modèle est confronté au terrain à travers une analyse d’entretiens et d’observations dans le secteur de l’action sociale à l’échelle communale. Les résultats confirment les dimensions et variables issues de la littérature et les complètent en proposant notamment une nouvelle dimension, celle des déterminants de la co-construction. Enfin, trois apports pour les managers territoriaux se dégagent : le management des conflits inhérent à l’action collective, l’influence du contexte et des interactions comme levier de développement, la co-construction pour améliorer la légitimité de l’action publique.
De l’expérience à la satisfaction patients : force d’amélioration en France
Authors: Sebai Jihane
Published: August 2021

La qualité de services et la satisfaction client deviennent la préoccupation de certains secteurs publics. Le secteur de soins et de santé n’est pas épargné malgré ses particularités. À la recherche d’une meilleure performance dans un contexte marqué par de fortes restrictions budgétaires, la qualité de service occupe le devant de la scène et devient le défi notamment dans le cadre de la démarche de certification. Cette situation ne peut être que bénéfique pour les usagers dont la satisfaction et la « fidélisation » deviennent déterminantes dans les processus d’amélioration de la qualité et la sécurité des soins promulgués. De ce fait, le déploiement d’une politique globale d’amélioration continue et la concentration sur les besoins du patient et les attentes des bénéficiaires en termes de qualité des services octroyés (Kröger et al ., 2007 ; Donabedian, 1980) deviennent des enjeux capitaux. Qu’en est-il du secteur hospitalier en France ?
Re- « panser » les stratégies d’internationalisation : l’alternative régionale en Asie du Sud-Est ?
Authors: Winkler Florence
Published: August 2021

Alors que l’internationalisation demeure l’un des principaux moteurs de croissance pour la majorité des entreprises, les failles de l’environnement mondial ont remis en question la globalisation des chaînes de valeur et mis à mal les stratégies de localisation des entreprises. Bien comprendre les différents concepts, les débats en cours et leur impact est indispensable pour ne pas risquer de céder à des phénomènes de « désinternationalisation ». Les modèles, les stratégies et les géographies de « localisation » doivent ainsi être renouvelés, repensés, afin d’intégrer l’internationalisation comme un facteur de résilience et non comme un processus de délocalisation. Capitaliser sur des stratégies régionales dans des zones de croissance telles que l’Asie du Sud-Est offre ainsi une alternative d’internationalisation stratégique pour les PME françaises.

The main purpose of this paper is to study local regularity properties of the fourth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the half line. We prove the local existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on initial data in low regularity Sobolev spaces. We also obtain the nonlinear smoothing property: the nonlinear part of the solution on the half line is smoother than the initial data.
Expressões de violência verbal e reflexividade face ao modelamento sociocognitivo e discursivo da pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Bentes Anna Christina , Morato Edwiges Maria
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo, articulamos a análise de um conjunto de falas públicas produzidas pelo Presidente da República Jair Bolsonaro (JB) em diferentes contextos ao longo do ano de 2020: (i) o exercício reiterado da violência verbal, atribuída a JB, no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19; (ii)  a construção de um modelamento sociocognitivo e discursivo para esse evento. Analisamos também práticas linguísticas reflexivas e críticas de diversos agentes sociais em relação à categorização do uso de máscara de proteção facial como “coisa de viado”. A metodologia de análise é de natureza qualitativa, envolvendo pressupostos teórico-metodológicos dos estudos da cognição social e dos estudos do texto e do discurso. As análises revelaram que o modelamento sociocognitivo e discursivo da pandemia da Covid-19, por JB construído, configurou o novo - em termos de práticas e cenários - em algo já dominado, superado; esse modelamento, junto com oficialização e a legitimação da violência verbal em relação a diversos agentes sociais, auxiliou na normalização dos efeitos letais da pandemia. A reflexividade linguística operada por setores da sociedade brasileira possibilitou novos modelamentos de certas práticas sociais relacionadas ao enfrentamento da pandemia de Covid-19 produzindo crítica e realinhamento sociais em larga escala.

Onde está o vírus? Manipulação política da linguagem sobre o coronavírus
Authors: Moura Heronides
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo, tento mostrar que alguns discursos políticos radicais, seja de direita ou de esquerda, manipulam a linguagem sobre o coronavírus, com o objetivo de justificar afirmações enviesadas e sem evidências sobre a pandemia da Covid-19.  Este tipo de manipulação está em conformidade com a percepção de que a manipulação política da linguagem se baseia numa fusão de verdades parciais e de mentiras completas (Katukani, 2018). Os dados foram coletados no site de notícias brasileiro de extrema-direita criticanacional.com.br e no livro Vírus soberano?, escrito pela filósofa pós-moderna e de esquerda Donatella di Cesare. A análise dos dados mostra que a manipulação mais importante encontrada nestes discursos políticos é a ocultação de informação relevante sobre a localização do vírus. A grande maioria das sentenças sobre vírus encontradas no corpus não oferece nenhuma indicação sobre a localização do vírus e sobre sua propagação. Será mostrado que esta ocultação favorece as informações infundadas que são propagadas pelos dois discursos políticos radicais analisados neste artigo. A fim de estabelecer uma comparação com os resultados dessas análises, foram também coletados dados no jornal Folha de São Paulo. A conclusão é que as sentenças deste corpus jornalístico são muito mais precisas em relação à localização do vírus.

The Siemens Digitalization Strategy in a Value-Based Management Framework
Authors: Cozmiuc Diana Claudia , Petrisor Ioan I.
Published: August 2021

The digital economy is growing at unprecedented speed and scale. Digital technologies generate the digital transformation of everything – organizations, industries, society. Digital technologies and digital business models disrupt industries in a digital vortex to a different degree by industry. In the new business context, value creation changes from the classical net present value of discounted cash flow or economic value added. Changes are given mostly by uncertainty. Reconciling classical value with digitalization becomes a research topic – the topic of this chapter. The chapter is a case study on Siemens, a Harvard Business Review case in digitalization, and one of the most important value-based management practitioners in the world, in the view of the economic value added model and in the view of journals indexed in Web of Science. The Siemens case is used to explore how economic value added and digitalization can work together and finds that they do in different stages that follow the logic of the innovation lifecycle.
Scientific Community-Driven Ecosystem as a Supporter to Co-Create and Co-Evolute Science
Authors: Ferenhof Helio Aisenberg , Alves de Sousa Marcos Paulo
Published: August 2021

One critical aspect of science is the ability to reproduce the same experiment by another researcher. In other to do so, the same ambient, variables, data, setup should be considered. The method tells how the original researcher planned and did their research, but how can others replicate or even advance the preview research? The scientific community has been focusing on efforts to increase transparency and reproducibility and develop a “culture of reproducibility.” When researchers share their data, their workflow, and co-evolute a way of doing research, all the players win. The value co-creation is established in a business ecosystem. The actor who is part of the business platform by the co-creation can leverage the advantage of one or more partners that make up the platform. Thus, the knowledge created from the interaction between the different technological domains and knowledge shared on the platform can improve all the research and researchers. Stating that, this chapter proposes a business ecosystem model to ensure research repeatability.
A Study on COVID-19 Prediction and Detection With Artificial Intelligence-Based Real-Time Healthcare Monitoring Systems
Authors: Rani Sonia
Published: August 2021

COVID-19 is a major pandemic disease exploited in this century in the whole world. COVID-19 was started om Wuhan, China in November 2019. The main reason for spreading this disease was that test kits were not available in huge amounts to diagnose the COVID-19, and no vaccine was available to cure this disease. Many researchers are trying to make a vaccine for the treatment of this disease. Prevention is better than cure. Therefore, prevention from this epidemic disease is diagnosis at early stages, and treatment should be given to the patient at an accurate time so that patient can escape death. Millions of people were infected by this disease, and most of them lost their lives after suffering from this disease. As we all know, this disease diagnosis test is complicated. Therefore, many smart apps like Siri, Cova App, Arogya Setu App, etc. and digital systems are used to detect and diagnose cases of infected people. These systems are embedded with artificial intelligence techniques. For diagnosis, the COVID-19 computer tomography is based on deep learning convolutional neural network.
Designing a Real-Time Dashboard for Pandemic Management
Authors: Rai Rahul
Published: August 2021

COVID-19 is very dynamic in nature, and it is varying drastically with time, and this requires continuous monitoring of the situation for better resource management during the pandemic such as medical facilities and daily necessities. The situation needs to be evaluated on a regular interval by all the stakeholders such as all the government officials for making strategic decisions such as lockdown or lifting lockdown in a phase-wise manner. In order to manage pandemics such as COVID-19, the administration needs to know statistical information, trends, forecasting, and overall aggregated real-time information, and this can be achieved through a well-designed dashboard. A dashboard is used for efficient monitoring of continuously evolving situations, and it provides an overall picture in addition to historical information. This chapter proposes a real-time dashboard design for COVID-19, and it will provide insight about different elements such as design and application of the dashboard in pandemic management.
Brand Humour Advertisements on a Social Network Platform and Their Impact on Online Consumer Engagement
Authors: Akbar Tooba Ali , El-Gohary Hatem
Published: August 2021

Past studies on humour have predicted that the right humour technique can attract attention and lead to organic engagement from the viewer. However, limited research has been conducted concerning the use of humour by brands on social media. Based on Speck's taxonomy of humour, this research aims to clarify whether online brand humour advertisements have an impact on consumer engagement on a visual social media platform like Instagram. This chapter analyses the influence of comic wit and satire on product involvement, brand familiarity and gender, and their impact on online consumer engagement on the social network platform. A survey was developed and distributed online and a total of 216 participants from Qatar voluntarily filled out the questionnaire. Data was then analysed using SPSS and structural equation modelling. Results provide evidence that both humour techniques have a significant impact on consumer engagement when product involvement is mediating their relationship. Managerial implications of the results and future research prospects are also discussed.

Authors: Ammari Nedra Bahri , El Hassoumi Ines
Published: August 2021

What if customer experience was the primary driver of digital transformation? Indeed, new hybrid experiences have emerged thanks to daily-life technologies that fused both digital and physical worlds. This kind of experience uses applications and connected objects (IoT) to adapt and respond to consumer needs. Augmented reality and virtual reality are one of the most functionally and emotionally memorable phygital experiences that create value for customers. In this chapter, the authors chose heritage tourism as the study field for different reasons. While the adoption of augmented and virtual reality is gaining grownd, cultural heritage sites have started to consider the possibilities offered by these new and innovative technologies. This industry is starting to integrate AR and VR in several ways to attract more people. However, it is necessary to study how modern technology can be developed and implemented in a meaningful way to improve the tourist's experience. An AR- and VR-based mobile application has been developed and tested at Antonine's Baths in Carthage, Tunisia.

Towards a Learning Organization
Authors: Bose Anindita A. , Furness Colin D.
Published: August 2021

A learning organization is one that is consistently capable of adaptive change in response to signals from its environment. However, knowledge management initiatives to enact learning organizations have not been uniformly successful. This chapter focuses on the role of the psychological environment of the individual in enabling or hampering organizational learning. Six theories drawn from multiple fields are reviewed to identify both opportunities and barriers to fostering change at the level of the individual. These include orientation to learning, motivation to act, and capacity for change. However, the authors argue that organizations ought to be regarded as complex social systems. Change strategies intended to foster a learning organization are more likely to succeed if they embrace the idea that designing change for complex social systems requires a special approach: design thinking. This is characterized by iterative prototyping, experimenting, trialing, and piloting changes to work processes, structures, and tasks.

Authors: Oliveira Daniela , Gardoni Mickael , Dalkir Kimiz
Published: August 2021

One of the greatest challenges of effectively managing knowledge in an organization is promoting seamless connections of operations between departments. Historically, information systems supporting operations have been developed with a specific department's culture in background. Therefore, connecting data, information systems, and people across the product lifecycle is an ongoing puzzle for organizations. Theorists and practicians agree on the need to include employees' expertise and vision in this process. This chapter explores a tacit knowledge capture tool and a methodology to use it as a means to voice the interaction and negotiation among employees to support KM and IT strategy and development choices. Concept maps collaborative creation can provide a usability tool focused on meaning throughout the product lifecycle. A literature review of the challenges involved and of the proposed tool is presented, followed by a use case and the methodology for the concept map collaborative creation session, concluded with recommendations drawn from theory and practice.
Application of Image Processing for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Bedi Pradeep , Goyal S. B. , Kumar Jugnesh , Kumar Shailesh
Published: August 2021

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most common diseases that cause difficulties for an individual to express his/her emotions or to understand other's emotions. ASD has become a challenging problem as its symptoms are unpredictable. The main symptoms of ASD include problems such as abnormal social reciprocity, nonverbal communication, sensory abnormalities, etc. To understand such abnormalities, there is a requirement of some learning tools. It has been witnessed that facial expression images, eye tracking, and neuroimage have been shown as effective tools for analysis of abnormalities that had occurred in both grey and white matter of the brain. Many researchers focused their work on the classification problem of ASD disorder from healthy subjects but still didn't reach effective diagnosis and healing tools. As with the advancement of digital image processing, it has become feasible to use these technologies for accurate diagnosis of ASD subjects. These technologies are integrated with deep learning for the identification and treatment of ASD.
Judging the Subordinate Judiciary
Authors: Singh Rattan
Published: August 2021

The subordinate judiciary of a nation plays an important role in the administration and dispensation of justice. A judicial officer in the subordinate courts performs a “pious duty” in the service of justice. A majority of the members of the society come in contact with the trial court judges rather than with the appellate or higher court judges. No law, court, precedent, or custom can provide guidelines for better administration of justice, because there is no fixed formula to find the solution of the problem. In such situations, personal qualities, experience, training, and worth of a trial judge make themselves manifest. Through the image of subordinate judiciary and its functioning, the true picture of judiciary presents itself to the nation. The mind of the judiciary can be known to the millions only through the actions and working of the subordinate or trial court judges. In this chapter, researcher has pointed out some problems faced by subordinate courts and judges due to the backlog, and the daily increase, in legal cases.
Challenges Facing Mediation as a Means of Court-Connected Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Ashanti Region of Ghana
Authors: Barnes Ebenezer , Obeng Alex Somuah
Published: August 2021

In 2012-2016, the number of cases referred to CCADR for mediation was 14,900. And out of these cases, 5,789 were successfully resolved to represent 38%. The total number of mediated cases pending were 9,111, representing 62%. Though there seems to be an improvement in terms of a decrease in pending cases, the number of pending cases leaves much to be desired. Premising on the above statistics, it has been noted that 9,111 ADR cases were pending in CCADR. Meanwhile, mediation under the CCADR program is known to be faster, affordable, and to reduce the overloaded courts' dockets. This has boosted the interest, trust, and confidence people had in mediation, and this has resulted in the increasing number of cases referred to ADR for mediation. However, the system, which was instituted to reduce overloaded courts' dockets, is bedeviled with challenges. The study seeks to explore the challenges confronting mediation as a means of ADR approach.
Collaborative Learning Environments for Autistic Children in the Inclusive School
Authors: Patrascoiu Loredana Adriana
Published: August 2021

One of the major challenges facing inclusive education for children with ASD is the identification and the removal of barriers of learning, ranging from attitudinal barriers to those related to how we organize workspaces and the conception of educational resources. The collaborative approach is one of the most effective ways of learning, and it has the benefit to develop the culture of inclusion in schools. In fact, the major challenge of the system is to personalize the educational therapeutic approach, respectively to create learning environments that generate meaningful learning experiences for each beneficiary. When the authors refer to the personalization of inclusive learning environments during pandemic period, they think both of indoor environments, but also of outdoor environments, as well as virtual environments, models of innovative practices regarding the preparation and organization of personalized collaborative spaces both in classrooms and also in learning spaces from the community, having a multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary approach in order to develop life skills.
Technology-Aided Interventions to Reduce Challenging Behaviors for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Zygopoulou Maria
Published: August 2021

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display a variety of challenging behaviors, such as tantrums, aggression, stereotypy, and disruption. Challenging behaviors can have a serious negative impact on the development of social relations, in the learning process, and education. To this aim, there is a need for appropriate interventions in order to improve the quality of life of individuals with ASD. This chapter aims to provide data with regard to different types of interventions and technological tools used for the reduction of challenging behaviors of students with ASD. Functional communication training with the use of speech-generating devices, video self-modeling, self-monitoring with the use of technological devices, and social stories presented in electronic form reflect types of interventions used for challenging behavior reduction. Research data indicate that technology-aided interventions are generally effective in reducing challenging behaviors of students with ASD.
The Challenges of Vocational Training for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Sarri Kyriaki
Published: August 2021

Employment is considered to have a great impact on people's quality of life. However, it is thought to be one of the major problems adolescents and young adults have to face during their transition to the adulthood. Given their impairments, individuals with ASD face several barriers to their vocational rehabilitation. Yet many of them are capable of being independent and working effectively when they are well supported. Since they deal with several challenges due to their condition, high rates of unemployment or underemployment are very common among them. This chapter provides a view of the barriers that can affect the employment outcomes of this population and strategies (e.g., supported employment programs and technology-based interventions) for overcoming those barriers. In particular, the social deficits that characterize ASD may result in difficulty in developing and maintaining high-quality social skills and competence in communication, which are important for finding employment and staying in a work position.

Authors: Tran Xuan
Published: August 2021

The low supply of vaccines for COVID-19 has disrupted tourism development in Asia. The question is if the vaccine may change cultural divergence into cultural convergence at the tourist destination. The purpose of this study is to examine the culture and price elasticity of hotel demand to find the cultural convergence. The study has conducted autoregressive distributed lag model to test whether the vaccine would change the price and income elasticities of hotel demand to find the cultural transformation from divergence to convergence through tourism. Findings indicate that the impact of the vaccine on transferring culture from divergence to convergence was confirmed. Tourists from the divergent cultures specified by less levels of Hofstede's cultural dimensions will visit the country destination with high levels of Hofstede's cultural dimensions after COVID vaccination. Japan and the US that possess divergent levels of power will visit Vietnam for power convergence. China, Korea, and Russia that possess divergent levels of indulgence will visit Vietnam for indulgence convergence.

As the challenge of big data impacts how we understand cultural differences, a motive-integrated model of culture is becoming an effective strategy to study current culture divergence by the fourth industrial revolution called “Industry 4.0.” This study examines the impact of Industry 4.0 with COVID-19 vaccines on motives and cultures of the world and Asia in the post-COVID-19 era. Structure equation modelling has been conducted on the data in 38 countries during the period of 2006-2021. Findings indicate that Industry 4.0 has enhanced the achievement motive in the reactive culture and the power motive in the multi-linear culture, but it has decreased the affiliation motive in the linear active culture. In addition, Industry 4.0 has enhanced the gross domestic product per capita (GDP) in the linear active and reactive cultures, but it has decreased the GDP in the multi-linear cultures. Finally, Industry 4.0 has made the power and affiliation motives in Asia decrease, but it has increased the achievement motive in Asia.
