Decoding decorative motifs: Visual perception and spatial understanding in Buddhist image houses

This study aims to investigate the impact of designs, coupled with the main pictorial program, on the perceptions of individuals within the organizational and spatial framework of a Buddhist image house. The study seeks to understand the influence of these designs on both the overarching artistic theme and the individuals experiencing them while considering the diverse roles inherent in this setting. Consequently, it elaborates on three different roles within this context of the research inquiry regarding the application of different styles alongside the main story theme in a Buddhist image house. In addressing the research question concerning the rationale behind incorporating decorative motifs alongside the main thematic narrative in a Buddhist image house, this study delineates three roles: supportive, objective, and subjective. It explores how these decorative motifs in the main pictorial program shape the perceptions of individuals and their subsequent effects. Emphasizing the multifaceted roles assumed by decorative motifs, this research contributes insights into the diverse functions served by these elements. The study posits that such variations not only serve as guides to religious practices but also offer a means of expressing the elevated creative qualities inherent in Asian art through the utilization of motifs.

Development of leadership qualities in athletes by means of physical education

The article raises the important issue of developing leadership qualities in athletes through physical education. It is emphasized that modern athletes must be able to make decisions, take responsibility, properly interact and communicate with other athletes, coaches, referees, work in a team and demonstrate leadership qualities. It is determined that a leader is a member of a group who has the necessary organizational skills, plays a central role in the structure of interpersonal relationships in the team and contributes to the organization and management of the group to achieve its goals. It is substantiated that the leadership qualities of a personality are manifested in the personal qualities that ensure effective leadership, namely: individual-personal and socio-psychological characteristics of a personality that influence the group and lead to the achievement of a common goal. It is emphasized that in order for the process of developing leadership qualities in athletes to be effective, the coach should work in tandem with a psychologist. The joint work of a coach and a psychologist can ensure the development of: individual psychological qualities of athletes, communicative and creative qualities, organizational and business qualities, social and group qualities. It is concluded that the state of development of the problem of leadership and development of leadership qualities in sportsmen by means of physical education has an insufficient level of research on this issue. The development of leadership qualities in athletes helps them to develop the ability to analyze their own strengths and weaknesses, set personal and professional goals and achieve them. Conducting leadership training, involving young people in decision-making, and implementing leadership education programs prepares athletes for leadership. Prospect for further research is the development and testing of a training program for the development of leadership qualities in athletes through physical education.

Relevance of Lev Karsavin’s Ideas on State Cultural Policy

The article substantiates the expediency of using domestic philosophical heritage in the development of concepts and other normative documents of Russia’s cultural policy in the current situation. At present, Russian society has gained an understanding of the need to abandon the strategy of catch-up modernization and to implement socio-cultural development on the ways of deepening the country’s traditional spiritual values and its own historical vision of the multipolarity of the world. The ideas of the Russian religious philosopher L.P. Karsavin concerning such fundamental aspects of cultural policy as the peculiarities of the development of state ideology, the design of culture and state cultural programmes, the vocabulary and language of cultural studies are considered. Special attention is paid to Karsavin’s understanding of Russian culture as having Orthodox origins and developing on the basis of Orthodoxy. Attention is drawn to the importance of ensuring the unifying and living, creative character of Russian culture, the conditions of equality of different cultures and, at the same time, the presence of a hierarchy of interpenetrating cultural spheres. The development of some of L.P. Karsavin’s ideas by his followers is outlined, including the need to clarify the Christian meaning of atheism and to overcome the “irreconcilable” antagonism between religious and atheistic worldviews. The study outlines a line of enrichment of cultural theory with little-known works by L.P. Karsavin and A.A. Vaneev, which, according to the authors of the article, opens prospects for further development of new approaches to understanding the essence of cultural policy.

Autism-Linked Traits and Creativity: Empathy and Sensory Sensitivities in Children Predict Creative Activities and Openness

ABSTRACT Several studies have investigated the relationship between autism-linked traits and creativity in adults across the general population, but far fewer in developmental populations. Here we examined how creativity in children is linked to the autism-linked traits of empathy (i.e. ability to understand and engage with another’s emotions and feelings) and sensory sensitivities (i.e. over/under-responding to incoming sensory stimuli). Our study collected data from 659 children aged 6–12, treating autism-linked traits as global and domain level features. We collected two sets of creativity data, focussing on a personality trait associated with creativity (Openness to experience; with two facets of Ideas and Aesthetics) and engagement in creative activities (with two facets of Performance and Art). After controlling for age and gender, our global measure of empathy predicted all four creativity outcomes, especially Ideas (strongly linked to curiosity, inventiveness and idea generation). Similarly, children with greater Emotional empathy displayed more creative across all four creativity outcomes, particularly creative activities (Performance, Art). Social-cognitive empathy was associated with both Openness facets, particularly Ideas. Finally, we found that sensory sensitivities predicted several trivially-size effects. Our study contributes to a broader understanding of how autism-linked traits in the general population interact with features of creativity in children.

People-centric variables in the fourth industrial revolution: an application of SWARA methodology

PurposeThe accelerating business transformation through Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is expected to create significant value in the manufacturing industry by delivering considerably high productivity, superior quality, better efficiency and effectiveness. However, its evolutionary processes have far-reaching challenging for humanity. This has triggered a need to analyze the impact of I4.0 on various people-centric variables (PCVs).Design/methodology/approachThis paper attempts to analyze the interrelationship dynamics between the PCVs in the current digital-industry ecosystem using a focus-group approach and causal loop diagrams. Application of the SWARA (stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis) methodology has provided its prioritized ranking in terms of importance.FindingsThe study has highlighted that I4.0 has a significant influence on five of the 13 PCVs – human quality of life, digital dexterity, high-skilled talent, low-skilled employment and creativity which contribute to 80% of the total impact.Originality/valueThe prioritized weights of the human factors from the SWARA approach have facilitated the assessment of the Human Resource Development Index (HRDI). The study is also contributing in enriching the literature on the human impact of the growing I4.0 and triggered the researchers to study further its adverse impact on critical human factors.Key pointsThe paper pertains to debates on a very critical issue of impact of integration of the current intelligent digital technologies in manufacturing and services to transform businesses to be more flexible and agile.This paper features I4.0 as a technology that allows integration of new products in the existing production lines, one-off manufacturing runs and high mix manufacturing.The paper also highlights major adjustments in operational activities, processes, supply chain, and organizational redesign due to I4.0 adoption.The current research study has significantly enriched the literature on the I4.0 impact on people-centric variables (PCVs) using the SWARA method. The use of the Causal Loop Diagram has very aptly brought out the type of causality (polarity) between the different PCVs in the growth of I4.0.

Analysis of Creative Character Needs and Effective Communication for Aceh Vocational School Students

Effective communication and creative thinking are soft skills that are very necessary in the 21st century. Character is a set of traits which means personality and morals. This research aims to describe the analysis of needs for designing instruments for assessing effective communication and creative thinking for Aceh vocational school students in carrying out assessments of effective communication and creative thinking. Data was obtained from a questionnaire of 65 Aceh Vocational School students. The sample used was 65 Aceh vocational school students. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to the entire sample. Data were analyzed using the social sciences statistical package version 25.0 for frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The research results show the need to study effective communication and creative thinking as a reference in preparing students to enter the world of work and industry. This is done because so far there has been no assessment of effective communication and creative thinking because there are no instruments, so it cannot be concluded whether students who have completed vocational education so far have done well or not in meeting government and industry expectations. The character of effective communication and creative thinking is an important and necessary consideration in the industrial world known as atitut. On this basis, it can be concluded that it is necessary to design an instrument to assess the character of effective communication and creative thinking

The art of playful mess: Co-choreographing the early years dance pedagogical practices

This article presents explorations of co-choreographing the early years dance pedagogical settings through dialogical and intra-active approaches in the context of artistic research. It discusses how to choreograph the pedagogical settings in such a manner, that the distribution of the artistic agency would become more equal, and the complex relational aspects and diversities would have time and space to emerge. The significance and possible consequences of co-choreographing the dances as well as the pedagogical arrangements will be also examined, followed with practical examples of what might the materiality of the space suggest and how to respond to it. The paper presents the Storyboard Method as a drawing-based method created by children for co-creating and writing choreography. It proposes the Storyboard Method having potential to open possibilities for working together with all ages and different linguistic skills in a participant-driven and playful manner. The work also suggests that by deconstructing the adult-child dichotomy and re-distributing the authority of knowledge, for example, through drawing-based playful methods, we could enhance the respectful encounters and allow the messy and complex qualities of creativity to emerge and enrich the artistic work.

Operationalizing Essential Characteristics of Creativity in a Computational System for Music Composition

We address the problem of building and evaluating a computational system whose primary objective is creativity. We illustrate seven characteristics for computational creativity in the context of a system that autonomously composes Western lyrical music. We conduct an external evaluation of the system in which respondents rated the system with regard to each characteristic as well as with regard to overall creativity. Average scores for overall creativity exceeded the ratings for any single characteristic, suggesting that creativity may be an emergent property and that unique research opportunities exist for building CC systems whose design attempts to comprehend all known characteristics of creativity.

Urban Heritage, and the Theory of Fragmentation: The Development of Archaeology in the City of Turku, Finland

ABSTRACT Despite the shift from object- to landscape-based approaches in urban heritage management, the analysis of heritage as objects is still viable, as the current archaeological theories of material culture do not see objects in the same manner as the object-based approach. To reveal the broader significance of urban archaeology for the cityscape, the relationship between the discipline and urban space is analyzed in the framework of fragmentation theory. The theory is based on prehistoric archaeology but modified to describe urban archaeology and its effects in the contemporary city. It is argued that fragments, regardless of their connection with the past and their central role in heritage work, also have autonomous potential to distract and act as agents disconnected from their original objects. The creative character of urban fragments should be explored further by archaeologists and heritage management. These ideas are scrutinized using the development of urban archaeology and heritage in the city of Turku in Finland as an example.
