On the Tension between Copyright and the Conceptions of Collective Creation in some Mapuche Poetry

America has many Indigenous peoples in its territory, with their own cultural, artistic and intellectual ways of communicating. In this sense, the Mapuche people, who traditionally lived in the South of Chile and Argentina, have faced a dichotomous process of integration and resistance, in which the transmission of values and cultural/artistic elements across generations has been fundamental to preserving a common cultural base. Those values have been transmitted, among other things, through poetry. However, it seems that some cultural expressions find it very difficult to accommodate the rigid legal structure of Copyright. One of the main reasons is that Copyright understands creation as something individual, or at least as made by specific individuals. But the Mapuche understands that some of their artistic creations belong to the community as a whole, and not to one individual. This article attempts to show the existing tension between the individualistic tendency of the legal framing of Copyright and the collective characteristics of Mapuche poetry, to propose a review of the adequacy of Copyright norms to regulate those specific and traditional cultural expressions.

ELEŞTİREL MÜZİK ANLAYIŞINDA YARATICILIK: ALEXANDER SCHUBERT’İN MÜZİK PRATİĞİ

This research aims to investigate the possibility of a critical music language in contemporary art music scenes through the concept of creativity. Under the light of related literature review, attention will be particularly focused on the diverse creative experiences of Alexander Schubert who managed to transgress normative standards and find his critical voice. By doing that, the paper aims to reveal the epistemological challenges inside academia in which it claims the necessity of an embodied and relational perspective that operates beyond binary oppositions. There has been a rising academic interest in creativity since the 1950s, predominately in sociology, psychology, and education. In the interest of “objective” evidence, cognitive sciences attempted to define and assess creativity by measuring the innovative processes of human minds. In the domain of music research, it has been mostly addressed in fields outside of composition, often connected with music psychology. Yet, the approaches in psychology mostly focused on the measurement of creativity rather than the creative acts of the individuals-failing to report the real-world experience of people-. So, this paper plans to pull this issue to composition and contemporary art music. With the introduction that induces a debate about the definitions and historical roots of creativity, the chronological development of the concept and its interrelations will be discussed. Its expansion from cognitive sciences to humanities and music will be briefly exemplified. After that, its connection with critical composition will be exhibited by the practice of Alexander Schubert, a prominent 21st-century composer and multi-media artist. Readings from cognitive sciences, musi- cology, critical studies, and sound studies will establish a historical gaze and pursuit of a contemporary epistemology that may incorporate a more extensive description and investigation of creativity.

Philosophy as the creation of concepts: Deleuze's libertarian implications through Leibniz.

La contribución principal de este trabajo consiste en un análisis específico de la filosofía de Gilles Deleuze que muestra cómo la creación de conceptos en la filosofía puede tener implicaciones libertarias, para ello el autor parte del supuesto de que el sistema filósófico de Deleuze se contrapone a todo emprendimiento filosófico que pretenda justificar el presente bajo su forma de sistema capitalista. En un primer momento, se analizará la filosofía en tanto que creación de conceptos y la manera de cómo esta creación se vincula cómo se vincula con las líneas de fuga, así como los procesos de subjetivación. Después, el análisis se concentrará en la lectura que hace Deleuze de Leibniz para destacar las implicaciones libertarias de la filosofía deleuziana.

Abstract The rapid development of the new media era has brought brand new opportunities for visual communication design, and the creation concept and expression of visual communication design have undergone obvious changes. In this paper, the ant colony algorithm is applied to automatically arrange graphic text in visual communication design to achieve the purpose of visual communication design innovation. Additionally, an image synthesis model based on generative adversarial networks is proposed for visual communication design, and examples are analyzed to analyze visual communication design in the context of future media. As a result of the study, the average loss values of the generator and discriminator of its generative adversarial network model are 9.894 and 2.319, respectively, and the Inception score (3.74) corresponding to the GAN is undoubtedly the highest, which has a high communication effect. This study enhances the effectiveness of visual communication design, promotes efficient communication and interaction with the audience, and promotes the innovative practice and theoretical exploration of visual communication design.

ДИСЦИПЛИНЫ ПО ВЫБОРУ В СИСТЕМЕ СОВРЕМЕННОГО ВУЗОВСКОГО МУЗЫКАЛЬНОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ

The article contains a description of the discipline “Texture in Music of the XXth century”, which emerged from an optional author course and since 2004 has occupied a firm place in the curriculum of the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music. Together with “Rhythmics in Music of the XXth century”, this course has become a bearer of strategic functions of modern music education in the block of elective disciplines. It is taught to bachelors in the field of computer music and arrangement and to composers, as well as within the framework of the course “Actual Problems of Theoretical and Historical Musicology” to postgraduate students in the specialty 5.10.3. — “Types of Arts (Musical Art”). The author substantiates the expediency of referring to texture as an integral component of the composer’s style, which is studied in interaction with vocal science, harmony, timbre, compositional techniques and shaping processes. The specificity of the subject of the study requires the introduction into musicological usage of a system of concepts that contribute to the creation of an integral concept of texture, the main provisions of which become the foundation of integral analysis.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ СИСТЕМ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛЬСКИМИ СТРУКТУРАМИ

The article highlights and substantiates the role of socio-economic research of business management systems from the point of view of scientific validity. Three epistemological principles of applying the qualimetric approach, that is, alternating processing of qualitative, quantitative and financial information to build and test hypotheses, are analyzed and substantiated: the principle of contradictory intersubjectivity; the principle of cognitive interactivity; the principle of general unpredictability. The scientific novelty and practical significance of the work lies in the identification of research interventions in the management system of business structures, based on socio-economic research, which allow to deepen scientific knowledge about current and future realities through the creation of complex concepts, methods and tools for effective management of an entrepreneurial structure.

LINGUOSYNERGETIC VECTOR OF STUDYING CONTEMPORARY UKRAINIAN DISCOURSE (ON THE MATERIAL OF “VOROSHILOGRAD” BY SERHIY ZHADAN)

This study delves into the linguosynergetic approach to analyzing language within contemporary Ukrainian discourse, specifically through the lens of Serhiy Zhadan’s novel “Voroshilovgrad”. In this context, language is perceived as a complex adaptive system, characterized by nonlinear interactions and self-organization. By employing principles of linguosynergetics, such as open systems, non-linearity, self-organization, and bifurcations, the research uncovers the mechanisms through which language evolves in response to varying socio-cultural environments. The novel “Voroshilovgrad” serves as a quintessential example of this dynamic process. Through its narrative, the novel captures the essence of a society in flux, where linguistic elements are not merely passive conveyors of meaning but active participants in the creation of rich and multifaceted literary concepts. The concepts exemplify how language and culture are intertwined, each influencing and shaping the other in a continuous feedback loop. By integrating the principles of linguosynergetics, this study not only enhances our understanding of Zhadan’s work but also contributes to the broader field of linguistics and literary studies. It showcases the relevance of linguosynergetics in analyzing literary texts, particularly in contexts marked by rapid social and cultural transformations. Through this approach, the research underscores the intricate relationship between language and culture, affirming the significance of linguistic studies in interpreting and understanding the evolving narratives of post-Soviet societies. In sum, this study offers valuable insights into the dynamic processes through which language and culture interact, evolve, and coalesce to form the rich tapestry of contemporary Ukrainian discourse.

The need and prerequisites for conducting an unaccountable form of VAT calculation

The article discusses the prerequisites for the creation of a new concept of VAT calculation based on the transfer of the function of calculating VAT to tax authorities through invoices, with the simultaneous cancellation of tax reporting on this tax. This concept implies that sellers issue invoices in electronic form through an electronic document management operator, who will transfer them to the tax authorities for their calculation of tax and billing to the taxpayer for payment. This approach will eliminate the need for businesses to comply with frequently changing tax laws and reduce the risks of tax evasion. The topic of the article is relevant because the current concept of the procedure for calculating and declaring taxes was introduced in the last century and is aimed at self-calculation of taxes by the taxpayer with subsequent preparation and filing of tax returns. However, modern conditions raise the issue of effective tax calculation in a new way and allows shifting these functions to fiscal authorities. The purpose of the study is to determine the readiness of the current situation for the introduction of a new concept of VAT calculation, the subject is the current VAT calculation mechanism. This work has practical significance, which consists in the potential introduction of a new concept of tax calculation. Before considering the issue outlined in this article, it is necessary to understand the conceptual apparatus, however, the study of tax terms does not relate to the topic of this work, which is why it will not be given. Therefore, for the purposes of this article, the calculation and procedure for calculating taxes means a set of actions of a taxpayer (or a tax authority in the case of transfer of such a function to it) to determine the amount of tax due to the budget.

Leveraging digital solutions for enhanced sustainability management in production systems: a case study in Baden-Württemberg

The industrial transition towards sustainable production systems is a fundamental step for companies to achieve environmental, social and economic goals. This transition includes implementing sustainable practices across the entire value chain, by which sustainability management can quickly become data intensive and increasingly complex. The integration of digital solutions into sustainability management can massively increase the efficiency of data collection and aggregation, prevent errors and data inconsistencies, besides further supporting industrial decision-making based on sustainability data evaluation. This paper presents a case study with a manufacturing company in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, in which its sustainability management system is evaluated and screened for digital optimization opportunities. The development and creation of a digital solution concept is comprised of the initial assessment through a detailed requirement analysis, then a systematically determination of an information system architecture that fulfills all requirements and can be implemented to improve the sustainability performance of the company. This developed approach assists the company to reach environmental reporting obligations through the continuous evaluation of internal sustainability KPIs. The insights gained and the developed concept can further support other companies in making their sustainability management more efficient and transparent through digitalization.

Ornamentation in the musical-theoretical teaching of Giusto Dacci: a didactic standard

The article draws attention to the system of musical ornaments given in the didactic standard of the Italian teacher of the mid-XIX century Giusto Dacci. Created in the conditions of the changed practice of performance, where the importance of reading the musical text as close as possible to the composer's intentions, Maestro Dacci's ornamentation system not only offered teachers their unification in the form of abbreviated letter signs, but also set standards for their decoding. In relation to the content of the music theory, section related to the study of ornamentation, the Dacci system has become the organizing construct that has acquired a stable form of didactic generalization. The types of ornamentation highlighted by Giusto Dacci: appoggiatura – accaccatura – mordent – gruppetto – trill, these are the elements of musical theory that retain universality to this day. They were introduced into the didactic standard at a special historical moment of the active creation of methodological concepts that provide theoretical and technological foundations for pedagogical work in professional musical educational institutions in Italy. Such work not only enriched the musical culture of the XIX century. In the formation of basic coloring skills, it remains an important educational guideline today. 1.In music theory, it captures the experience of accurately encoding ornaments. This experience, in fact, is the key to the visualization of an unchanging sound. For musicology, it is of interest from the point of view of studying the history of the formation of the cycle of musical-theoretical disciplines and its content. 2.In educational practice, it expands the existing format of knowledge, opens up the opportunity for teachers to include this educational material in their practical work. 3.In performance, it allows to understand the facets of possible performing freedom in deciphering jewelry in works taken from a particular time chronotope.

Академик АН СССР А. Н. Ефимов: истоки интеллектуальной биографии

Anatoly Efimov, a Soviet academician, exerted a significant influence on the theory, methodo­logy, and practice of long-term planning and forecasting for the national economy during his leadership at the Research Institute of Economics under the State Planning Commission of the USSR in Moscow. However, his foundational years as a scholar and organizer unfolded in Sverdlovsk. This article seeks to explore the early stages of his intellectual journey. Methodologically, the study employs the intellectual history approach, intertwining the history of ideas with an analysis of contextual factors that shaped the emergence, institutionalization, and development of specific viewpoints. The research relies on Efimov’s publications and archival materials from the library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The article suggests that the backgrounds of scholars shape the creation and development of important theories or concepts. Efimov’s va­ried roles as an economist, including his work in the cooperative movement and industrial production, coupled with his positions as a teacher at the Ural Industrial Institute and the head of the Department of Economics, impacted the organization of his research, choice of topics, and the validity of his conclusions. Particularly noteworthy is Efimov’s practical orientation and steadfast connection with production.

Kyiv’s Minusnyky: Regime Bans for “Uncertain” Citizens

The article deals with a special category of residents of the capital of Ukraine who were recognized as “socially dangerous” and punished by expulsion from the city, along with a ban on settling in a number of areas of the USSR; as well as with categories of citizens who were banned from living in Kyiv for other reasons. Those expelled by judicial, and more often extrajudicial, authorities received a sentence where the territories prohibited for them were designated as “minus 6”, “minus 12”, and “minus 15” (the numbers meant the number of designated areas, and the word “minus” entered Soviet slang as a root construction of the concept of “minusnyky”, which denoted the community repressed and discriminated against in this way). These and other persons mentioned above had a corresponding entry made in their passports, which made it impossible for them to stay in the capital of the Ukrainian SSR. The purpose of the article is to reveal the Kyivans-minusnyky population, a category of repressed people who for a long time were practically “invisible” to researchers. It also aims to transfer the concept of “minusnyky” with all its narrow and broad connotations from Soviet repressive slang to the academic historical dictionary. The research objectives are to analyze the logic behind the creation of regime prohibitions for “socially dangerous” persons, to highlight certain stages of “cleansing”/“sanitation” of the capital of the Ukrainian SSR and the 50-km zone around it, to consider the circumstances of punishment and discrimination, and to reconstruct the process of adaptation of minuscule population to the regime’s everyday life. The research methodology combines the tools of historical and legal analysis, social anthropology, and the concept of social creation of space. The scientific novelty is to expand the general understanding of political terror and its consequences for the Kyiv community. The atmosphere of regime rule in the capital of Ukraine is analysed as an organic component of the functioning of the totalitarian regime and the punitive and repressive mechanism, the first turns of which occurred simultaneously with the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks. The author traces the progressive growth of the Kyiv minuscule group, the reasons for their acquisition of such a status and strategies for survival in exile. It is proved that in the arsenal of total terror, in addition to the most severe repressions, targeted geographical isolation was actively used against Kyiv residents, which became an effective means of “cleansing” the capital of the Ukrainian SSR from “socially dangerous” persons, a mechanism of social engineering of prolonged effect. The creation of a large detachment of Kyiv’s “minusnyky” was part of the process of atomization of society, construction of spatial hierarchy, and social alienation of people and territories.

Value Creation in a Coach Developer Social Learning Space: Stories of Openness and Making a Difference

Previous studies concerning coach developer learning have demonstrated notable deficiencies in the provision offered to practitioners, commonly reporting what they experienced was prescriptive instruction on how to deliver coach education courses—a practice starkly in contrast to the espoused theoretical underpinnings of the courses themselves. This Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection investigation aimed to better understand the value created for, and through, 10 participants recruited to a 9-month coach developer professional development program that was designed not to prescribe, but to guide, their learning. Data were collected through individual and group interviews, field notes, and professional discussions. Additionally, this study aimed to investigate the extent to which the identification of short and long value flows could provide insight into coach developer learning. Two main themes were constructed, namely (a) openness to finding new ways of developing others and (b) making a difference. Embracing the concepts of value creation, as well as short and long value flows, illuminated the importance of consideringcoach developers’ predispositions, nonprescribed guidance by program facilitators, and the power of value creation stories. These findings illustrate how value creation concepts can potentially help to understand coach developer learning.

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ СИСТЕМЫ СОЗДАНИЯ СТОИМОСТИ ОБЕЗУГЛЕРОЖИВАНИЯ ПРОИЗВОДСТВ НЕФТЕГАЗОВОГО СЕКТОРА ЭКОНОМИКИ

In modern conditions, the speed of changes taking place in the economy negatively affects the value created by the business for stakeholders. The architecture of business models of responsible consumption and transfer of responsibility developed by the author makes it possible to adapt familiar profit-making models to the existing conditions of transition to the principles of sustainable development and decarbonization of production in the oil and gas sector of the economy. In turn, the studied theoretical platform for value formation and the construction of business models by elements allows us to refine existing concepts of profit creation models, taking into account the new conditions for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The concept of value creation by transferring responsibility and changing the input level of value creation (resource provider) also provides for a system of indicators to assess the social, managerial and environmental effects of implementing the architecture of the proposed business models.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ МАРКЕТИНГОВОГО ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ КРЕАТИВНОСТІ

In the article, a theoretical study of the formation of the concept of creativity is carried out, the stages of its transformation of the concept of creativity are considered. It has been proven that at the current stage of development of the national economy one of the most pressing issues is the development of creative industries. This is confirmed by studies conducted by the World Bank on the structure of gross national income in countries. According to the obtained results, which are given on its official website, it can be seen that creative industries make a significant contribution to increasing the country's national income. On the other hand, the analysis and generalization of the achievements of both domestic and foreign scientists shows the importance of their role in increasing the country's competitiveness. The article also proves the complexity of the category "creativity", which includes creative, psychological, cultural and digital components. This thesis is emphasized in most of the scientific works that were analyzed. It is also important to determine the key guidelines that will guide the development of the creative economy in Ukraine. This may include supporting talented individuals, creating an enabling environment for creative entrepreneurship, and developing educational programs aimed at developing creative skills and innovation. The article discusses the evolution of the creativity category and proves that it has a high degree of innovation due to the presence of a creative component in it. That is, from considering creativity as an individual trait to recognizing its social and environmental impact on society. This made it possible to form a hypothesis that for the effective development of creative industries, it is necessary to use digital marketing tools. It is they who will contribute to the best disclosure of all potential opportunities of creative industries. This is possible if the tools of marketing are formed, which help in the development of creative industries in the state. Choosing a certain system of their use will allow you to effectively use all their advantages.

Діагностика особистісної креативності керівника закладу освіти: визначення та готовність до інноваційної управлінської діяльності

The article presents the results of the analysis of the phenomenon of creativity of managerial activity, which is objectively due to the change of the educational paradigm in the discourse of new challenges of civilization development. The authors state that in modern conditions it is important to substantiate the essential principles of the need to move to a new architectonics of economic reality, which is characterized by a change in the content and nature of managerial activity, transformation of management technologies and the very philosophy of management on the basis of recognizing the priority of the conception of creativity. Creative competence is considered as a managerial problematic issue, which is included in the top issues of scientific research in various spheres of society as generally recognized and extremely relevant. The necessity of comprehensive use of the creative potential of the individual and a holistic, fundamental, systematic, problem-based approach to the educational process is proved. The need to develop new theoretical, methodological, methodical and practical methods and approaches to activation, rational and effective use of creative and intellectual human potential as the main source, as a strategic tool for the effective use of the main productive force – people – in the post-industrial society is substantiated. The phenomenon of creative management activity is defined as an essential feature of the national economy, which reproduces specific forms of transformation of intellectual potential into dominant predictors of positive changes in socioeconomic processes of the educational system. It is stated that the theory of creative management activity and the analysis of its components have not become widespread in the educational sector due to the lack of skills and experience of creative management among the heads of educational institutions, also due to the lack of unified approaches to creative management in organizations in the educational sphere. Proving the importance of the scientific and practically-oriented problem of creativity determines the expediency of determining the criteria according to which the creative management activity of the head of an educational institution demonstrates an ability to generate sustainable competitive advantages, a high level of innovation activity. It is found that the diagnosis of creativity should be approached as a «miniature model of the creative act», while the choice of approaches to the problem of diagnosis can no longer be determined by «na?ve reflection». It is proposed, in the context of the problem field of diagnosing the creativity of the head of an educational institution, to actualize the phenomenon of «intellectual activity», as well as to apply a system of coefficients that characterize creative managerial activity.

Game journalism as a new media communication format

Game journalism, which combines the format of the media of local interests, at the present stage occupies a separate information area designed for a special audience. Nevertheless, the communication principles inherent in media information apply in the same way to any niche branches of the media market, as well as to the principles and functions of journalism in general. A computer game, having become a specific phenomenon of virtual culture, has made its own adjustments to the concepts of creativity and communicative relations with the audience. Since the game is based on an artistic image and a spatiotemporal organization, its aspects are similar in spirit to the communicative formats of the media. In addition, the main difference between a multiplayer game is considered to be an established virtual world, which develops even when the player is out of the game. And it also brings the functions of gamification closer to the functions of the media market, in the space of which the concept of gaming journalism is firmly established. The article examines the features of the interaction of game journalism as a communicative process with the audience through the prism of its formation and the possibilities of further development and substantiates the need for scientific discourse on this topic

EEG-based study of design creativity: a review on research design, experiments, and analysis.

Brain dynamics associated with design creativity tasks are largely unexplored. Despite significant strides, there is a limited understanding of the brain-behavior during design creation tasks. The objective of this paper is to review the concepts of creativity and design creativity as well as their differences, and to explore the brain dynamics associated with design creativity tasks using electroencephalography (EEG) as a neuroimaging tool. The paper aims to provide essential insights for future researchers in the field of design creativity neurocognition. It seeks to examine fundamental studies, present key findings, and initiate a discussion on associated brain dynamics. The review employs thematic analysis and a forward and backward snowball search methodology with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to select relevant studies. This search strategy ensured a comprehensive review focused on EEG-based creativity and design creativity experiments. Different components of those experiments such as participants, psychometrics, experiment design, and creativity tasks, are reviewed and then discussed. The review identifies that while some studies have converged on specific findings regarding EEG alpha band activity in creativity experiments, there remain inconsistencies in the literature. The paper underscores the need for further research to unravel the interplays between these cognitive processes. This comprehensive review serves as a valuable resource for readers seeking an understanding of current literature, principal discoveries, and areas where knowledge remains incomplete. It highlights both positive and foundational aspects, identifies gaps, and poses lingering questions to guide future research endeavors.

Концептуальні засади створення компетентної організації в умовах інтенсифікації євроінтеграційних процесів в Україні

The obvious transformation of the world economic space puts forward new requirements for the adaptive properties of Ukrainian organizations in the context of their adaptation to new threats and challenges. Of critical importance is the creation and development of organizations that, due to their internal characteristics, are able to gain the status of competent both in the European and post-war Ukrainian markets. The aim of the article is to develop a conception for the creation and functioning of a competent organization, which consists of a set of interrelated provisions, which will allow to develop methodological support for this process, taking into account the specific characteristics of each stage of the organization’s life cycle. The article characterizes the procedure for carrying out scientific research of a competent organization at the metatheoretical level of cognition, which harmoniously combines the use of methods of empirical and theoretical levels, combining them into a group of general scientific ones. The necessity of adopting a synergetic paradigm of research, which provides an opportunity to study competent organizations as systems that are difficult to describe with a small number of variables and almost impossible to measure empirically, to identify the synergetic effect of their functioning, while developing ways to enhance it, is substantiated. The expediency of integrating the provisions of various organizational theories, the formation of a system of scientific principles as a methodological basis for research, the choice of a set of cognitive methods for an in-depth study of the problem has been proved. The formation of the methodological foundations of scientific research has become the basis for the development of the conception of creation and functioning of a competent organization, which is based on the construction of a system of interrelated provisions and allows taking into account the specifics of organizational activities at different stages of the life cycle of an organization. Further research will be aimed at determining the necessary components of organizational competence to solve priority management tasks at each stage of the life cycle, identifying those that require additional development, which will allow Ukrainian organizations to increase the level of their own competence in the modern market.
