Assessing innovative and responsive young leaders in public service: Lens from community clientele

Youth leadership brings new perspectives, innovative ideas, and a dynamic approach to addressing contemporary issues. Young leaders often possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by their generation, enabling them to develop solutions that are relevant and impactful. Their involvement in public service fosters a sense of responsibility and civic engagement, encouraging a culture of active participation and community building. This study examined the innovative and responsive characteristics of young leaders in the Philippines. This exploratory paper expected to provide understanding on how community clientele like community residents, elderly people, persons with disability, perceived innovative and responsive traits of community youth leaders. Convenience sampling (n=12) was carried out to select the participants seeking assistance from barangays leaders. Findings indicated that the community clienteles described these young leaders as possessing creative minds capable of ‘thinking outside the box’ to address evolving challenges and meet community needs. Youth leaders were noted for their commitment to effective communication, gathering feedback, and working collaboratively with the community to resolve issues. They are accessible and approachable, demonstrating empathy and attentiveness to the concerns of those they serve. The perception of community clientele emphasized how young leaders integrate creative and innovative approaches to problem-solving with proactive and empathetic engagement to the community, and their commitment to transparency and effective communication. These qualities collectively contribute to the community's positive view of youth leadership, recognizing the potential of young leaders to bring about meaningful and lasting change.

Creative Minds in a Polarized World

ABSTRACTIn today's digital milieu, characterized by pervasive media exposure, the intricate interplay between individual differences and cognitive processes has garnered significant scholarly interest. A notable facet of this interrelation pertains to the nexus between cognitive flexibility and individuals' engagement with online information. Recognized as essential for creative cognition, cognitive flexibility encompasses various facets of human reasoning vital for adapting to new information and challenging entrenched perspectives. This review expands the traditional “out‐of‐the‐box” thinking paradigm beyond creative cognition to encompass a comprehensive reasoning framework that questions entrenched viewpoints and fixed cognitive schemas. By analyzing recent scholarly discussions on fake news and polarization, we underscore the pivotal role of cognitive flexibility in guiding individuals' critical navigation of the digital information landscape, promoting nuanced and less polarized perspectives. Introducing the concept of Socio‐Cognitive Polarization, we elucidate how individuals with differing ideological backgrounds can exhibit escalating cognitive divisions and absolutist tendencies. Leveraging insights from existing literature, we present methodological strategies for combating misinformation and nurturing critical thinking to counteract the detrimental impact of deceptive narratives on societal discourse. This scholarly exposition advances the understanding of the challenges associated with misinformation dissemination and offers empirically grounded approaches for enhancing critical cognition in the digital era.

Penggunaan Media Komik dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Menulis Karangan Narasi Siswa Sekolah Dasar

The significance of creating grade school understudies' story paper composing abilities using acquiring media, particularly comic media. Indonesian is a language that should be shown in schools, and composing is an essential piece of the language educational experience. Be that as it may, numerous understudies experience hardships recorded as a hard copy story expositions, which can influence how they might interpret the language. It is trusted that the utilization of comic media as a learning device can expand understudies' advantage in learning and assist them with defeating troubles recorded as a hard copy. The exploration was done utilizing a subjective methodology, noticing straightforwardly in the field and gathering information from logical writing. The exploration results show that the utilization of comic media in figuring out how to compose account papers can further develop understudies' composing abilities, animate their creative mind, and make learning more tomfoolery and understudy focused. The examination stages incorporate preparation, execution, perception and reflection, which mean to keep on further developing learning until it accomplishes the ideal objectives

RUSSELL REVIEW Soil carbon stewardship: Thinking in circles

AbstractThe words we choose to describe our research ultimately directs its course. A dominant term in soil science now, is ‘sequestration’, referring to the removal of carbon (C) from air and its irreversible seclusion in soil, ideally as stable soil organic carbon (SOC). An emerging view, however, now sees SOC as an inherently dynamic assemblage of forms, all potentially vulnerable to decay, with no discrete, measurable fraction holding C in ‘sequestered’ form. Rather than speaking of C ‘sequestration’, then, we might refer instead to SOC ‘stewardship’. This word, now, enfolds the entire spectrum of SOC, not merely some elusive ‘persistent’ or ‘stable’ fraction, perhaps redirecting inquiry; for example, does C need to be ‘sequestered’ in stable form for SOC to serve as effective repository of excess atmospheric CO2? ‘Stewardship’ explicitly accepts the relentless turnover of SOC, emphasizing the need to manage not only fixed stocks of C, but also the cyclical flows of C through ecosystems that drive their functions. Among other benefits, ‘stewardship’ might motivate us to consider all functions of SOC (not only climate mitigation), consider the entire C cycle (not only enhancing soil C), and preserve existing troves of SOC (not only augmenting them in selected places.) Perhaps most fundamentally, by its etymology, ‘stewardship’ poses a compelling, timeless question: for whom do we steward SOC? Asking why look after SOC, not only reflects our own underlying quest for resilience, but also expands our potential audience and entices the more creative minds that must succeed us. Although ‘stewardship’ may elicit new and fruitful inquiry, we may need to look for words even more evocative, more alluring, more true to our mandate of living well within the circling C that must always sustain us.

Artificial intelligence enabled smart design and manufacturing of advanced materials: The endless Frontier in AI+ era

AbstractFuture‐oriented Science & Technology (S&T) Strategies trigger the innovative developments of advanced materials, providing an envision to the significant progress of leading‐/cutting‐edge science, engineering, and technologies for the next few decades. Motivated by Made in China 2025 and New Material Power Strategy by 2035, several key viewpoints about automated research workflows for accelerated discovery and smart manufacturing of advanced materials in terms of AI for Science and main respective of big data, database, standards, and ecosystems are discussed. Referring to classical toolkits at various spatial and temporal scales, AI‐based toolkits and AI‐enabled computations for material design are compared, highlighting the dominant role of the AI agent paradigm. Our recent developed ProME platform together with its functions is introduced briefly. A case study of AI agent assistant welding is presented, which is consisted of the large language model, auto‐coding via AI agent, image processing, image mosaic, and machine learning for welding defect detection. Finally, more duties are called to educate the next generation workforce with creative minds and skills. It is believed that the transformation of knowledge‐enabled data‐driven integrated computational material engineering era to AI+ era promotes the transformation of smart design and manufacturing paradigm from “designing the materials” to “designing with materials.”

Diaphanous Bodies: A Hauntology of the Mediating Image

AbstractThe contemporary world is so dependent on the virtual, with its constantly morphing and invisibly magical potentialities, that it is somewhat paradoxical that the speculative, explorative aspect of architectural drawing is so undervalued in this context. The profession's computerised quick‐fix, feed‐me, satisfy‐me normative mentality has limited truck with the intangible. Peter J Baldwin writes an ode to the phantasmagorical and the ephemeral, citing it as a useful tool to enhance and liberate the creative design mind. Allied with tactics of re‐reading and post‐rationalisation, he constructs a spectral ‘machine’ for making work.

Creative Minds: Altered Salience as a Bridge Between Creativity and Psychosis, a Case–Control Study

ABSTRACTPrior studies suggest a multifaceted relationship between creativity and psychopathology, indicating that mild psychopathology might enhance creative behavior. Moreover, similar brain regions may be implicated in both creativity and psychosis. Although aberrant salience (AS) is often associated with psychotic disorders, it could also enhance creative capabilities. This study assesses salience alterations among healthy individuals, artists, and patients with psychosis to investigate its influence on creativity. Three groups were studied: 196 healthy controls, 50 artists from Florence Academy of Fine Arts, and 84 outpatients with a diagnosis of psychosis. They were assessed with the Aberrant Salience Inventory (ASI). We compared ASI scores among the groups using ANOVA, followed by post‐hoc t‐tests, and adjusted the scores for age, gender, and education through ANCOVA. The ANOVA revealed significant differences in ASI scores among the groups, with artists displaying notably higher ASI scores than both controls and patients. ANCOVA confirmed that group membership was a significant factor influencing ASI scores, while age, gender, and education were not. Additionally, antipsychotic treatment did not significantly impact ASI scores among patients. Rather than an unequivocal marker of pathology, AS might also be interpreted as an anthropological asset, enhancing creative faculties alongside unique perceptual experiences. Education may help individuals in channeling their AS mechanisms through art.

Navigating Intellectual Property Rights: Patentability and Market Exclusivity for Orphan Drugs in The Evolving Landscape

Intellectual property is an intangible property created with the endeavor of human intellect. This concept is formulated for the recognition and value for the inventions, creation of mind, literary or artistic work, designs, and traditional knowledge can be given recognition by providing Intellectual Property Rights. Intellectual property is necessary for the progress and well-being of the humanity so that new inventions and creations, further innovations are encouraged. Patent gives exclusive rights for product and process whereby without the permission of the patent owner invention cannot be commercialized. Patent Law is developed as per the standards prescribed in the TRIPS agreement globally. Patent rights are also granted for drugs as pharmaceutical research is expensive and unpredictable. Pharmaceutical sector protects their inventions by product or process patent rights. Nowadays rare diseases or orphan’s diseases caused by genetic alterations have become a threat for human life. It has become a necessity to develop new drugs or orphan drugs to treat these rare disorders even though it is fewer in numbers. In US and EU once a drug receives the status of orphan is attained the protection is limited to 10 to 12 years of protection from commercialization. In such scenario the companies who have spent millions for their Research and Development will not be in a situation to take back the investment. High revenue or capital investment is hindering the development of orphan drugs. Orphan drug exclusivity with the patent protection will definitely help in encouraging more inventions for rare diseases thereby generating a world without disease. This paper surmises upon the importance of patent to orphan drugs and exclusivity to the manufactures which can be achieved only by appropriate policy decisions and regulatory framework.

This study aligns with global educational trends emphasizing the need for empathetic and comprehensive learning experiences, offering insights into the potential of EDT to enrich creative education for primary students, educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers.

PENGARUH TREN MENJADI CONTENT CREATOR TERHADAP ANGKATAN KERJA GENERASI Z

The labor force is the productive-age population that is doing a job, has a job or is looking for a job. The focus is on people who are looking for work, indirectly they are still unemployed and waiting for work. Generation Z itself is one of the contributors to the labor force in Indonesia. Born in an era where technology is increasingly developing, Generation Z has a creative mind that can create new jobs in this digital era such as Content Creator. The purpose of this study is to find out the generation Z workforce who are interested in content creator jobs, and the effect of becoming a content creator on the generation Z workforce. The content creator trend as a job in this digital era affects the generation Z workforce and can reduce the existing unemployment rate. In addition, it can develop the talents and interests possessed by generation Z because they have creativity so that they can hone the skills they have. The trend of content creators as a job in this digital era affects the generation Z workforce and can reduce the existing unemployment rate. In addition, it can develop the talents and interests possessed by generation Z because they have creativity so that they can sharpen the skills they have.

Architecture, Poetry, and Everyday Life

Abstract There is an exhibition currently hanging in the penthouse of the Museum of Modern Art in New York: Far removed from the clamor of the street and the jostling of the crowd, a selection of delicately conceived and exquisitely executed drawings remind us that, even in the age of pragmatism, ideal architecture still preoccupies creative minds. From the recent past and the lived present, these studies speak of impossible futures, irresistible impulses, and inconsequential fantasies. Hoary technotopia from Archigram; satyrical dreamscapes from Superstudio; metalinguistics from Argentina's nouvelle vague; eclecticism, superrationalism, and painterly metaphor from New York's (and Princeton's) Five add up to form a picture of the whole tangled web of idealism and counter-idealism that has constituted today's attempt at visionary architecture. This exhibition raises, as do all such manifestations of the realm of utopia, questions as to the relation between art and daily life.

A Nineteenth Century Rural Crime in Western Queensland?

In August 1895, Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson was visiting his fiancée at Dagworth Station near Winton in western Queensland, Australia, when he was moved to write a bush ballad that became more prominent than even he might have expected. The question arises as to what was or were the circumstances or events that stimulated the creative mind of Paterson to write such a spirited ballad. A rural crime was certainly committed down by the billabong in the ballad, but there were real events playing out throughout the western sheep grazing country of Queensland at that time and had been for some years. This research note argues that, in identifying crimes, we can observe a dichotomy of opposites with some boundaries being contained, while others are large and fluid. Each have a particular fragility as well as a strength. Contained boundaries have a placement that has strength, but vulnerability to encroachment by powerful forces: the need to protect is ever present. It is also argued that this ballad, which contextualises a rural crime, serves as an allegory symbolising a sense of injustice, of resistance against injustice and excessive use of power.

A Wandering Mind is Not Always a Creative Mind: How Thought Dynamics Explain the Relationship between Mind Wandering and Creativity

ABSTRACTA wandering mind is not always a creative mind. Anecdotes about ideas spontaneously entering awareness during walks, showers, and other off‐task activities are plenty. The science behind it, however, is still inconclusive. Creativity might result from how thought context—whether thoughts are on‐task or off‐task—relates to thought dynamics—how thoughts unfold. To explore this, study 1 (n = 85) surveyed creative professionals about a single idea they had earlier in the day. The spontaneity of thoughts positively correlated with self‐reported creativity, whereas off‐task thoughts or doing something else did not. Study 2 (n = 180) replicated these findings in a student sample during an idea generation task and added that free movement of thoughts also correlates with self‐reported originality during idea generation. As indicated by expert ratings, no relationship of thought dynamics and thought context was found with population‐level creativity. Herewith, this study suggests that thought dynamics, rather than thought context, explain the often suggested relationship between mind wandering and creativity.

Towards Relevant and Viable Telehealth Technologies

Disruption of the healthcare system was more pronounced in low- to middle-income countries than in developed countries during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.1 A reduction of about a third of the patient cases was observed, especially for the mild to moderate conditions.2 Considering that non-severe cases are most amenable to remote management throughtelehealth, the latter was a popular alternative to going to a health facility. Among its benefits include connecting patients with health providers at their convenient time and place, avoiding exposure to infection, saving time, responding early to medical emergencies, providing e-prescriptions, accessing even remote areas, among others.3
 In this issue of the journal, the article by Gonzales et al., on developing and implementing mobile health technologies presents the Philippine scenario in the development of mobile health (mHealth) technologies. It is noted that the average cost to develop and roll out mHealth is around PhP 4,018,907 (US $78,650). This figure may not be too onerous for those with the means but is challenging for most developers. Thus, the government plays an indispensable role in supporting these ventures for health especially during the pandemic. With taxpayers’ money going to these technologies, it is advantageous to weigh the benefits over the investment. Cost-benefit analyses are important to undertake before plunging into specific projects.
 During the pandemic, some of these telehealth services were funded by the government and the developers faced challenges inherent in public funding.4 When the government ceases to fund these projects, entrepreneurs have to rely on their own resources. Financial viability is linked to market success.
 To make any product or service successful in the market, it should be designed from the outset, based on the needs of its intended customers. The design thinking principles are important to consider in the design process of mobile health technologies.5 At the core of these principles is that the product is co-designed with the consumers. From the very start of the project, the ‘needs’ of the consumers and not just their expressed ‘wants’, should be well delineated. This can be teased out from qualitative interviews with consumers about their experiences so that the problematic areas can be explored more deeply to bring out the real needs that even the consumers themselves may not realize. In so doing, the developer can design the technology addressing those needs, thus making the product more relevant and acceptable in the market.
 For innovations emanating from the university, it is beneficial that academe-industry collaboration be established from the start. There are a number of mechanisms where this can be achieved. In the so-called “reverse-pitching”, companies present their needs to the professors and researchers for them to initiate studies to address those needs. Usually, innovators are the ones pitching their technologies to companies who may potentially take on the product to be commercialized. Often, the perspective of the industry sector is not heard which is key to having a marketable product. Thus, in reverse pitching, the companies present the market needs to the creators of the technology, resulting in more relevant and useful innovations.
 The academic community can co-create with the industry the relevant products and systems that the consumers will patronize. In some countries, there are laboratories and similar facilities built by the industrial companies within the university campus to facilitate the collaborative efforts between academe and industry in devising innovations. Those seminal workswill then be further developed and scaled by the company, and eventually be brought to market. Such mechanisms fuse the creative minds of the academe with the pragmatic acumen of the industry sector to address the needs of the community with better products and services.

A teacher's role in developing early social intelligence at daycare

This research is aimed at learning the role of teachers in promoting social intelligence for younger age children. This type of research is a descriptive qualitative. The research is done in kindergarten in the great wrwanman village, the jombang district, jember. Based on the research that has been done that the development of emotional social aspects in preteen age should be considered. The importance of developing emotional social relationships for a child at a young age helps him to understand the environment, the importance of emotional social aspects for a child because he or she is able to socialize. At an early age, children can be taught to build social relationships. Through introduction, children begin to interact and share. Teachers are one of the critical components of the education and teaching learning process. There are three roles of teachers in the process of developing emotional social parenting at rahman's kindergarten. Among other things: a teacher's role as a model in a teacher's learning activity provides a good example for children to appreciate each other, to speak politely (saying please, thank you and sorry). The teacher's role as inspiration in teacher learning is discovering new ideas related to the learning process, inspiring teaching is developing a more creative mind pattern of the child and leaving the child dependent not in class, but becoming a lifelong learning. The teacher's role as a motivator, in developing a child's emotional social through activity

Outline for Empathy-Based Medical Education

Empathy has been recognized in recent years to play a central role for the successful practice of medicine. Hence, developing empathetic skills needs to be the underlying objective during the training of undergraduate medical students as well as in continuous education of health professionals. However, during the process of medical education, the quality of empathy that is naturally present within the student has been found to decline. The task is to achieve the process of learning medicine and at the same time preserve and foster the quality of empathy. Spontaneous learning based on one’s own interest, is a form of self-directed learning that taps the student’s sense of curiosity about the problem and concern for the patient. Knowledge is acquired in a case-centered manner. All evaluations to be done through case-based discussions. The textbooks in each subject are to be treated as knowledge repositories for choosing the topics that need to be learnt. The ‘self-directed spontaneous learning’ ensures creativity in approach to problems, optimum utilization of one’s time and avoids stress. The student’s connection with his or her own ‘inner self’ is crucial for a focused and creative mind; therefore, its cultivation through the process of meditation is important. Empathy-based medical education-EBME facilitates the training of doctors who are competent as well as empathetic. Keeping the subjective aspect of education as the base while acquiring the objective aspect, leads to balance between competence and empathy.

ЭПАТАЖЕН ЛИ ГЕНИЙ, ОКАЗАВШИЙСЯ ТРАНСГРЕССИВНОЙ ЛИЧНОСТЬЮ?

The object of the study was a genius from the world of art. The research methods were phenomenological and existential onesl. Based on them, the author tries to understand the mechanisms that became the source of the emergence of the masterpiece as new, spiritually significant for humanity. Creativity, being the true existential of the artist’s existence, contributes to his transitions into imaginary worlds. This fact allows us to call a genius a transgressive personality. As a free and volitional act, transgression takes place within the person, involving them in imaginary worlds. The creative mind of a genius, through contemplation and imagination, perceiving various impulses and creatively transforming them, expands spaces, making it possible to touch theessence of existence and convey what is known in a work of art. Transgressive transition for the creator turns out to be a natural practice, allowing one to go beyond the boundaries of what is permitted. But from the outside, the genius, his ideas, emotions, actions and works look provocative, which allows them to be characterized as shocking. Breaking social norms and shocking people around, the genius and theur outrageousness outline new paths for the development of art.
