Can social skills and creativity protect against bullying? Adolescents’ views

ABSTRACT Background Bullying is a global problem that has a substantial mental and physical impact on students’ lives. It has been identified as one of the most relevant educational problems today. Research suggests that well-developed social skills, and to a less well explored extent, creativity, may be protective factors in conflict and bullying situations. Purpose The aim of this qualitative research was to explore the perceptions of a sample of adolescent students in Spain regarding social skills, creativity and bullying, and to better understand the relationship they perceived between these. We posed the following research questions: How do adolescents understand the concepts of social skills and creativity?; What behaviours do students exhibit according to their levels of social skills and creativity?; Have students experienced bullying at their school?; and What are the characteristics of young people involved in bullying (victim and aggressor)? Method The research involved in-depth one-to-one online semi-structured interviews with 33 students aged between 14 and 18, across six schools in the Almeria region of Spain. They each answered a series of questions related to their experiences of bullying; the characteristics of bullying perpetrators and victims; and their understandings of the nature and value of social skills and creativity. Findings Study participants tended to believe that social skills and creativity influenced social relations and the creation of original ideas. They judged that high levels of social skill and creativity could make individuals more empathetic, have a sense of humour and know how to express themselves well. Conversely, deficits could lead to disruptive behaviour, low self-esteem and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Analysis showed a similarity between the reported characteristic features of people with social skills and creativity deficits, and people involved in bullying. Conclusion In general, study participants believed that social skills and, to a lesser extent, creativity, could have a potentially moderating effect on bullying. Based on these findings, it may be beneficial to further support the development of social skills and creativity among students, to reduce the incidence of bullying situations.

MultiBooth: Towards Generating All Your Concepts in an Image from Text

This paper introduces MultiBooth, a method that generates images from texts containing various concepts from users.Despite diffusion models bringing significant advancements for customized text-to-image generation, existing methods often struggle with multi-concept scenarios due to low concept fidelity and high inference cost. MultiBooth addresses these issues by dividing the multi-concept generation process into two phases: a single-concept learning phase and a multi-concept integration phase. During the single-concept learning phase, we employ a multi-modal image encoder and an efficient concept encoding technique to learn a concise and discriminative representation for each concept. In the multi-concept integration phase, we use bounding boxes to define the generation area for each concept within the cross-attention map. This method enables the creation of individual concepts within their specified regions, thereby facilitating the formation of multi-concept images. This strategy not only improves concept fidelity but also reduces additional inference cost. MultiBooth surpasses various baselines in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, showcasing its superior performance and computational efficiency.

More Narcissistic, More Charming: Investigating Human-Agent Collaborative Innovation from an Internal Compatibility Perspective

The common perception of machines is that they are cold and stiff, making the concept of creativity seem unrelated. This mismatch suggests that human-agent collaborations could suffer greatly in innovative contexts. Infusing AI with narcissistic traits, typically considered human, could alter this scenario. Drawing from the theory of human-agent compatibility, two experiments were carried out, with AIs programmed to exhibit either high or low levels of narcissism. The aim was to assess how AI narcissism affects the willingness of humans to engage in creative collaboration with machines, and to understand the psychological reasons behind these effects. It was discovered that narcissism in AI substantially boosts how creative and emotionally capable people perceive the AI to be, increasing their willingness to cooperatively innovate with it. Furthermore, perceived creativity and emotional capacity were found to independently mediate the relationship between AI narcissism and human-agent innovative collaboration willingness. The research focuses on the nuances of human–machine interaction, offering both theoretical and practical contributions. The findings underscore the beneficial impact of AI narcissism while deepening our understanding of the pivotal role compatibility plays in fostering human-machine innovative collaboration. Practically, this study provides actionable advice on harnessing narcissistic traits in AI to bolster collaborative innovation. Specially, it suggests developing AI personality algorithms tailored to various task scenarios and compatibility pathways, thereby enhancing human-machine cooperation.

The Nature of Human is Islamic Perspective and its Implications for Islamic Education

This research is a Library Research, previous studies as primary data, which is then analyzed and conclusions can be drawn. research objective is to The first know the nature of man in Islamic perspective. Second, to know the implications of human nature in the Islamic perspective on Islamic education. The results of the study, first, in Islam, humans have a special position as creatures created by Allah SWT who are given reason, spirit, and responsibility in the world. The Qur'an uses three main terms to refer to humans, namely al-insân, al-basyar, and Bani Adam. The Qur'an explains that humans were created through several stages, starting from the ground which then developed into nutfah, alaqah, mudghah, until finally perfected by the inhalation of the spirit by Allah SWT. The purpose of human creation is to recognize and worship Allah, with reason or intellect as a tool for thinking and the heart as a tool for believing in the Essence that cannot be achieved by reason. Second, the implication of human creation with Islamic education has a very close relationship, because Islamic education must be balanced between the science taught and the science of the hereafter. That Islamic education must be based on the concept of human creation in order to have a clear direction in developing human nature in a balanced manner. Human identity as a perfect Muslim can only be realized if all of his potential as a creature of God, educator, learner, servant, and khalifah is well integrated. Islamic education must be based on the integration between qalbiyah (heart) and aqliyah (reason) education in order to form intellectually intelligent and morally superior humans. Islamic education must also be able to develop all human potential through hard skills and soft skills, become a means of transforming Islamic knowledge and culture, and internalize Islamic values in individuals.

Fast Fourier Asymmetric Context Aggregation Network: A Controllable Photo-Realistic Clothing Image Synthesis Method Using Asymmetric Context Aggregation Mechanism

Clothing image synthesis has emerged as a crucial technology in the fashion domain, enabling designers to rapidly transform creative concepts into realistic visual representations. However, the existing methods struggle to effectively integrate multiple guiding information sources, such as sketches and texture patches, limiting their ability to precisely control the generated content. This often results in issues such as semantic inconsistencies and the loss of fine-grained texture details, which significantly hinders the advancement of this technology. To address these issues, we propose the Fast Fourier Asymmetric Context Aggregation Network (FCAN), a novel image generation network designed to achieve controllable clothing image synthesis guided by design sketches and texture patches. In the FCAN, we introduce the Asymmetric Context Aggregation Mechanism (ACAM), which leverages multi-scale and multi-stage heterogeneous features to achieve efficient global visual context modeling, significantly enhancing the model’s ability to integrate guiding information. Complementing this, the FCAN also incorporates a Fast Fourier Channel Dual Residual Block (FF-CDRB), which utilizes the frequency-domain properties of Fast Fourier Convolution to enhance fine-grained content inference while maintaining computational efficiency. We evaluate the FCAN on the newly constructed SKFashion dataset and the publicly available VITON-HD and Fashion-Gen datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the FCAN consistently generates high-quality clothing images aligned with the design intentions while outperforming the baseline methods across multiple performance metrics. Furthermore, the FCAN demonstrates superior robustness to varying texture conditions compared to the existing methods, highlighting its adaptability to diverse real-world scenarios. These findings underscore the potential of the FCAN to advance this technology by enabling controllable and high-quality image generation.

교육신경학에 기초한 집단창의성의 재개념화

Objectives This study attempted to reconceptualize the existing concepts of group creativity that have been discussed in various ways from an educational neurological perspective in relation to the effects of learner brains and other nervous systems, and suggested useful educational implications. The reconceptualization of group creativity from an educational neurological point of view is to provide a significant link through which individual creativity can lead to group creativity based on an understanding of changes in the nervous system, including the brain. Methods In this study, the basic search term was set as group creativity, and domestic research mainly focused on papers for doctoral degrees and higher along with papers published in the Korea Citation Index (KCI). In the case of overseas research, academic databases such as Academic Search Premier, ERIC, Education Source, Google Scholar, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched and cross-checked through peer evaluation by referring to impact factors. Also, the reviewed documents were examined for their degree of relevance and consistency to the content of books on collective creativity and neurology. Results In this study, group creativity was reconceptualized as 'the tendency or ability of a group to produce new and useful ideas and outcomes by reorganizing the patterns of interactions between members of groups into types that are different from existing connections based on changes in individual nervous systems. The important point here is that both group creativity and individual creativity are based on changes in the nervous system including the brain, and changes in the effects of individual nervous systems that create multifaceted interactions within groups become an important link for individual creativity to lead to group creativity. Conclusions Reconceptualizing group creativity from an educational neurological perspective in connection with changes in the effects of the nervous system signifies that both individuals and groups can perform higher-order functions such as creativity based on the modularity and connectivity of the nervous system, and that group creativity can connect to individual creativity in various ways based on changes in the nervous systems of members in the group. In the future, research on how learners' individual creativity can develop in harmony with individual learners' unique characteristics and lead to creativity in various group creativity should be fully supported. For this, group creativity based on collaborations among various academic fields in addition to Educational Neurology will be required.

Evolution of clinical and genetic concepts of cardiomyopathies

The definitions and classifications of cardiomyopathies are presented from a historical perspective based on an analysis of databases on platforms such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, using appropriate keywords. It is noted that the implementation of high-tech research methods is accompanied by the creation of concepts of cardiomyopathies, establishing etiological and pathogenetic links that are being transformed into clinical signs, which require stratification, risk factor assessment, and prognosis. The diagnostic value of structural and functional heart anomalies for ranking classical phenotypes of dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive cardiomyopathies, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is аnalyzed. A description is provided of a new phenotype of non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy and syndromes associated with cardiomyopathy phenotypes such as left ventricular hypertrabeculation (non-compaction) and takotsubo syndrome. The possibilities of genetic research in determining the primary etiological factors of myocardial damage, risk groups for-ming are analyzed. It is noted that the prerequisite for the application of laboratory genetic methods in practical work is genetic analysis at the family and individual level with establishing genealogical, sex-age, phenotypic, and other characteristics of patients and their relatives. It is determined that the interpretation of the results of a comprehensive clinical examination and complete genetic testing provides a fundamental base and practical tools for the stratification of symptoms and differentiation of cardiomyopathies, timely implementation of measures to eliminate arrhythmias, prevent sudden cardiac death in patients, and for providing consultation on prognostic and preventive medical recommendations to family members.

Main trends in ensuring legal protection of copyright and related rights in the digital environment

The article is dedicated to the study of the peculiarities of legal protection of copyright and related rights in the context of the digital environment. It proposes to consider the digital environment as a unique and modern space in which processes related to the processing, storage, and transmission of information, as well as its direct creation, take place. It is noted that judicial protection of violated copyright in the Internet network is often ineffective due to the lack of specialization among judges and the unresolved issue regarding the functioning of the Higher Court for Intellectual Property Matters. It is established that Internet piracy is one of the most widespread violations of copyright and related rights on the Internet, significantly affecting the author’s ability to exercise intellectual property rights and generate income from the economic potential of their created work. Based on an analysis of the legal definition of Internet piracy, it is concluded that defining all unauthorized methods of using a work as piracy significantly broadens the scope of this concept. The author states that today, the starting point for determining the protectability of works created with the help of artificial intelligence technology is the level of human intellectual creative activity involved in optimizing the process of creating a specific intellectual property object by using AI to enhance the effectiveness of the creative concept’s realization. The following vectors of essential and substantive transformation of legislation in the field of copyright and related rights are highlighted in the context of the development of information technologies and the use of the digital environment for the creation, placement, and distribution of creative works: improvement of the legal protection mechanism for copyright and related rights objects on the Internet; ensuring a balance between the interests of authors and Internet users; refining the legal regulation of the status of objects created using AI without human creative activity; harmonizing national legislation with the legislation of the European Union; ensuring the effective functioning of the Higher Court for Intellectual Property Matters.

How experiential creation drives use experience in the metaverse: Focused on the interaction effect between item popularity and need for uniqueness

ABSTRACT Despite considerable research on how social proof influences consumer decision-making in digital contexts, relying solely on popularity cues does not fully capture the evolving nature of metaverse-based consumer behavior. Drawing on the concept of experiential creation, this study investigates how perceived item popularity and hands-on creative engagement jointly affect purchase behavior for virtual fashion items in the Metaverse, as well as whether self-congruity mediates these effects. An experiment was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicate that item popularity positively influences purchase behavior when consumers exhibit a low need for uniqueness (NFU). In contrast, when NFU is high, the impact of popularity on purchase behavior is negligible. Furthermore, self-congruity mediates this interaction between item popularity and NFU, demonstrating that an alignment between personal identity and virtual products can either enhance or attenuate social proof effects. By synthesizing social proof and creativity-driven uniqueness motives, this study extends current knowledge of digital consumer engagement and shows how identity-based customization can modify the appeal of popular products. These insights offer strategic implications for virtual retailers, highlighting the value of flexible product offerings and user-oriented creative tools to better meet diverse consumer preferences in immersive digital environments.

The Christian Approach to Divine Creation in the Context of Scientific Worldview

The paper examines the main components of the Christian view of creation in light of a scientific worldview. Although no scientific theory can refute or corroborate the doctrine of creation, the current state of natural sciences does have some impact on the formation of creationism. The author underlines this influence and depicts the importance of a rational and aspectual approach to the Christian idea of creation and the Creator–creation relationship. The concept of creation is also presented as having significant consequences for the expression of various elements of religious doctrine, including the place of man in the world.

In Praise of the Playful, Silly, Goofy Middle School Music Teacher

Anecdotal evidence from observing masterful middle school music educators suggests they often place emphasis on inside jokes, quirky puppets/mascots/artifacts, imaginative conversations, and a mode of teaching that invites laughter and fun. This type of playfulness can satisfy both community-building and instructional purposes. Despite the prevalence of such playfulness, this important aspect of middle school music teaching has been long neglected in scholarly journals. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to recognize the effectiveness of middle school music teacher playfulness and the approaches built around such an ethos. I first define teacher playfulness and relate it to the concepts of play, pedagogical creativity, and adolescent brain development. I give examples of how ensemble teachers engage with purposeful playfulness in their classrooms, and I give recommendations and considerations for the music teacher interested in infusing their teaching with playful ideas. Although there are possible objections to playfulness in secondary ensemble classrooms, I aim to persuade middle school teachers to acknowledge the value of being silly and using humor to derive positive effects on community and learning.

The use of AI in german design- and advertising agencies – the influence on the organizational structure and the actions of individual actors

The advent of ChatGPT software has profound implications, permeating various industries in recent months as AI capabilities continue to evolve. The creative sector is no exception, with AI shaping human perspectives on creativity and the creative process. AI enhances innovation and automation in content creation, integrating diverse technological methods for more engaging output. Giddens' 'structuration theory' from 1997, posits that actions and structures interact, and actors influence social conditions through their actions. As AI transforms actions and knowledge about them, it prompts interest in exploring resulting structural changes. Organizations can also confirm or restrict actions, as evidenced by a qualitative content analysis of advertising industry expert interviews (n=10). This analysis unveils current AI tools' impact on human creativity requirements, examining evolving tasks and actions. The study also considers potential changes in organizational structures due to AI and its impacts. The premise is that the ability to control and effectively use AI will redefine the concept of creativity, transforming the organizational structure.

IoT‐Enhanced Meta‐Heuristic Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Predicting Cotton Leaf Diseases

ABSTRACTIn the textile industry, cotton serves as a crucial raw material; however, diseases affecting cotton leaves can result in substantial financial losses for farmers. Conventional illness detection techniques are frequently costly, time‐consuming, and inaccurate. Existing deep learning models can detect and classify affected leaves, but they face several limitations, including high error rates, excessive time consumption, a tendency for overfitting, and suboptimal performance. To overcome these issues, this work proposes a hybrid deep learning model with meta‐heuristic support integrated with Internet of Things applications to efficiently classify cotton plant diseases. This creative concept seeks to give the textile sector and farmers a more precise and efficient solution. The proposed approach consists of two phases: first, high‐resolution images of cotton leaves are captured using a Canon EOS 450D digital camera, and potential diseases are identified through IoT sensors. In the second step, advanced techniques like pre‐processing, segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection, and classification are implemented. Disease segmentation is accomplished via the modified dilated u‐net (MDU‐Net) model. Feature selection utilising the Binary Guided Whale‐Dipper Throated Optimizer (BGW‐DTO) helps to identify the most relevant properties. Using the Harris Whale Optimization Method, the best weight coefficients for every classifier are found; next, a stacking ensemble model using the most recent deep learning approaches performs classification. In a collection of photos of cotton plant leaves, the optimal ensemble model shows a 99.66% classification rate, thereby precisely diagnosing a range of illnesses comprising Army Worms, Powdery Mildew, Bacterial Blight, Aphids, and Target Spots.

Development of Women's Image and Women's Consciousness Awakening in Media Perspective

The awakening of contemporary women's consciousness has gradually emerged as a mainstream development factor and has influenced the direction, aesthetics, and values of literary and artistic creation. With the advancement of information technology and media communication, Western feminist theories have gradually diffused into China since the 1980s and 1990s, and the women’s consciousness awakening in China has had a profound impact on the creation of Chinese films and literature from its inception to its gradual development under the backdrop of reform and opening up and has undergone empirical verification. This paper employs the case study method to analyze the alterations in the image of women in the three mainstream media, namely film, television, and new media, by vertically sorting out the characteristics of media development, to explore the influencing factors of women’s consciousness awakening. It has been discovered that women-themed literary creations can effectively stimulate the awakening consciousness of the audience, and through the wide dissemination of media platforms, an increasing number of audiences are inspired, making the awakening of women’s consciousness a hot topic of discussion. This study hopes that analyzing the transformation of women's images can assist contemporary literary workers in providing feasible reference significance based on the value orientation, audience positioning, and dissemination concepts of women's theme creation.

"Postmodern" Turn in Contemporary Art History and its Influence

In contemporary art history, the "postmodern" turn is a highly symbolic and controversial phenomenon, which marks a profound change in artistic style and creative concept, and has caused extensive discussion and reflection in the writing, evaluation system and cultural context of art history. The post-modern turn does not occur in isolation, but is closely related to many social and cultural changes in the middle and late 20th century. From the rise of mass culture, the formation of consumer society to the rise of post-structuralism philosophy, these factors have jointly shaped the pluralistic face of post-modern art.. It breaks the linear development logic and elite aesthetic standards advocated by modernism, and instead emphasizes the pluralism, openness and cross-culture of art. Through collage, appropriation and deconstruction, post-modern art re-examines the essence and boundary of art, changes the way of artistic creation, and also poses new challenges to the writing of art history, prompting people to rethink the value and significance of art.

Platformed creativity: Female chuktubers in Korean football media

This study proposes the concept of platformed creativity to examine how new technologies have engaged in the social dynamics of creative practices. In recent years, a few Korean female digital creators have become visible by producing and sharing gender-bound football media content on YouTube. Based on a critical discourse analysis involving the channels of four female Korean chuktubers, I found that this user-generated media platform offers these female digital creators the opportunity to capitalize on their unpopular and unconventional characteristics and narratives, allowing them to transform their creative practices into collective resistance against gender norms and hierarchies in the football media industry. However, YouTube also limits these chuktubers’ creative possibilities to the extent that it does not fundamentally intervene in the existing gender architecture within society. This study concludes that user-generated media platforms invigorate the social dynamics of creative practices while simultaneously controlling the social potential of creative imagination.
