cybersecurity and digitalization in SMEs through the lens of protection motivation theory
Published on 2026-10-16 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the relationship between cybersecurity and the digitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Digitalization is conceptualized as a gradual, path-dependent process in which firms adopt digital technologies over time, increasing both connectivity and exposure to cyber threats. Drawing on protection motivation theory (PMT), we interpret digitalization as a form of motivated protective behavior shaped by two cognitive mechanisms: threat appraisal and coping[...]
Our summary: This study explores how cybersecurity influences the digitalization of SMEs using protection motivation theory. It finds that cybersecurity practices positively correlate with digitalization, influenced by SMEs digital maturity. Early digitalization is driven by perceived cyber risk, while established cybersecurity routines facilitate further digital adoption.

Temporal coupled-mode theory and topological charges for resonances in parity symmetric layered media with arbitrary loss and gain
Published on 2026-09-23 by Tiecheng Wang and Yichi Zhang @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: The traditional temporal coupled-mode theory (TCMT) is used to explain the resonances in the resonators where material loss or gain is zero or small, such that the energy of the resonance is exactly or approximately conserved. However, with the development of non-Hermitian optical theories and experiments, a more widely applicable TCMT is required. In this work, we derive the TCMT suitable for parity symmetric layered structures with arbitrary degrees of non-Hermiticity, and obtain specific expr[...]
