in the last decade of the twentieth century, the field of international relations studies witnessed a theory based on which a model was introduced to solve complex equations in the field. the theory was introduced by joseph s. nye and expanded by the united states diplomacy. the theory is based on “the influence of the cultural attractions and values on creating power” in civilizational domain....

If social learning is more efficient than independent individual exploration, animals should learn vital cultural skills exclusively, and routine skills faster, through social learning, provided they actually use social learning preferentially. Animals with opportunities for social learning indeed do so. Moreover, more frequent opportunities for social learning should boost an individual's repe...

Many engineering optimization problems can be state as function optimization with constrained, intelligence optimization algorithm can solve these problems well. Cultural Algorithms are a class of computational models derived from observing the cultural evolution process in nature, cultural algorithms in the optimization of the complex constrained functions of its superior performance. Experime...

Cultural species can - or even prefer to - learn their skills from conspecifics. According to the cultural intelligence hypothesis, selection on underlying mechanisms not only improves this social learning ability but also the asocial (individual) learning ability. Thus, species with systematically richer opportunities to socially acquire knowledge and skills should over time evolve to become m...

The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) has recently attracted a great amount of interest from HR practitioners and academics alike. Whilst the majority of research in this area has been conducted in Western countries, recent studies have begun to assess the generalisability and validity of the EI concept in cross-cultural settings.
