HR POLICY OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN CRISIS CHALLENGES

The article is aimed at researching new strategies for management decisions focused on the development of human resources in the context of crisis challenges.
 It has been established that management decisions in the field of educational management are currently being implemented under conditions of financial constraints, and, accordingly, the further high-quality functioning of the education system and its strategic development, in the face of crisis challenges, requires modeling a new paradigm of the realized importance of human resources in the national higher education space, which in turn stimulates the search for new approaches to the implementation of management strategies in the field of higher education and the creation of new non-standard concepts of HR management in war conditions.
 It is proved that in the current conditions of increased risks, the strategy of HR policy of a higher education institution is aimed at maintaining the effectiveness of educational and scientific activities of participants in the educational process through modernization of the HR management system, ensuring a safe educational space, changing models of incentives and motivation for the professional development of research and teaching staff, creating internal financial resources by expanding the practices of providing additional educational services by a higher education institution, directing such revenues to the professional development of research and teaching staff and the creation of safe conditions for professional activity.
 It is determined that the main measures to manage the development of the scientific and pedagogical potential of a modern Ukrainian higher education institution in today's conditions should be concentrated in four key areas: creating safe labour conditions; forming a system of incentives and motives for high-quality professional activities, including material incentives; creating conditions for continuous staff development to ensure their psychological comfort; focusing on additional educational services, focusing on additional educational services, project activities and interdisciplinary programs as a strategic direction to compensate the financial constraints of educational institutions. These measures will help to increase the competitiveness of educational institutions and the quality of educational programs.

Richard Wagner – The Genius Mark Of A Simmering Brew Of Pursuits, Anxieties And Contrasts

Regardless of the artistic formula, of whether we are referring to classical theater or lyrical theater, the performer's status, with all its similarities and differences, remains the same. For the artist, it is important not only to have a deep understanding of the text/score, but also of the general context, both of the role itself inside and outside the work from which it originates, as well as of the author, the understanding of the historical moment to which it belongs, from which it is claimed, for deciphering their intentions and the message they tried, at the time of creation and looking towards posterity, to convey it publicly. In this paradigm, at some point, the personal encounter with creation and, by extension, with Richard Wagner's conception of creation constituted a moment of revelation transformed into fascination, a lesson that I tried to pass on. Because, like any genius, Richard Wagner aroused not only admiration or controversy, but above all passion. Knowing his life, turmoil, creation and peculiarities we all become part of the existence of the spirit that forever revolutionized one of the most complex and successful forms of art, lyrical theater.

Comparative analysis of the philosophical and historical views of S.L. Frank and V.V. Zenkovsky

The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of the historiosophical views of S. L. Frank and V. V. Zenkovsky, which were based on specific ontognoseological concepts about the essence of being and the possibilities for a creative person to comprehend it. Based on the ideas about the place and role of man in natural and socio-historical processes characteristic of Christian personalism, thinkers, interpreting the concepts of creation and the Fall in different ways, came to dissimilar conclusions about the practical meanings of the cognitive and transformative activity of the individual. When conducting the study, comparative analysis methods were used, which involved a reasoned and consistent identification of the similarities and differences in the historiosophical positions of S. L. Frank and V. V. Zenkovsky, as well as hermeneutical methods used to better understand the semantic content of their texts. The author of the article, having consistently examined the views of S. L. Frank and V. V. Zenkovsky on evolution, social utopianism, conciliarity, on the place and role of the Church in the socio-historical process and on the eschatological perspective of humanity, comes to the conclusion that, despite the fact that both philosophers have significant disagreements regarding their solution to the problem of theodicy, the theme of overcoming evil in the world is fundamental for their philosophical and historical constructions. However, due to the incompatibility of their ideological approaches, the difference in the ontognoseological ideas of philosophers about the types of connection between the Absolute and the created world (essential and beneficial) and about the cognitive capabilities of man affected their understanding of both the goal of historical development and the methodology for achieving it.

Simplified Methods for Generative Design That Combine Evaluation Techniques for Automated Conceptual Building Design

Smart design and construction have emerged as pivotal forces in the construction industry. Numerous studies have been conducted in the realm of design optimization, using artificial intelligence data-driven approaches and optimization theories. This increase in research has sparked interest in generative design, a process that automatically generates algorithm-based design alternatives, thereby reducing human effort and time by a significant margin. The objective of this study was to explore the potential of generative design to boost productivity within architectural practices and reduce redundant and unnecessary tasks for an aging construction workforce. Specifically, it illustrates the process of selecting superior alternatives by generating various three-dimensional layouts, using a generative design methodology. This occurs during the creation of a building layout concept with subsequent partial evaluations. The methodology of this study was mainly divided into four stages: objective setting, design algorithm development, the establishment of evaluation methodology, and the comparison of the results’ values. The findings of this study confirmed that the design algorithm and evaluation methodology form a single loop, generating a multitude of design alternatives that satisfy the algorithm designer’s evaluation criteria.

The Inner Form of the Word and Meaning Construction in the Poetic Speech (Based on the Russian and English Languages)

The article deals with the problem of semantic perception of a poetic text, in which the reader’s attention is de-automized by such foregrounding technique as the defamiliarization of the inner form of the word. Relying on the methodological frameworks of creative linguistics and cognitive linguistics, the author of the article aims at describing the inner-form-defamiliarization technique in terms of its functioning in poetic speech. Particular attention is devoted to identifying the factors of verbal and conceptual creativity, which determine the possibility of speech conventions transformations in poetry. The article provides a terminological clarification of the notions of “the inner form of the language” and “the inner form of the word”; emphasis is placed on the importance of studying these phenomena from the non-conventional meaning construction perspective. It is shown that the technique of the inner form defamiliarization has a complex implementation in poetry and contributes to performing a number of interrelated functions of the poetic language — cognitive, expressive, poetic and metalinguistic. Based on the examples of Arkadii Dragomoshchenko’s essays from the book “Phosphorus” and Charles Bernstein’s essay-poem “Artifice of Absorption”, the linguo-creative intentions of the poets are reconstructed. The techniques of the inner form defamiliarization, typical of these poets, are described, including poetic etymologization of the word through its occasional definition; paronomasia; renomination and attribution of occasional formmeaning motivation to the word. The cognitive universality of linguo-creative techniques of the inner form defamiliarization is described in relation to general functional mechanisms for switching and developing verbal associations, which provide for the non-conventional meaning construction.

The Philosophical and Pedagogical Heritage of Yakiv Mamontov: The Concept of Pedagogical Creativity

The article considers Mamontov’s philosophical and pedagogical heritage through the prism of modern approaches to the development of pedagogical creativity. The aim is a deeper understanding of the topic in the context of actualising the issues of organising the activities of the participants of the educational process in the frames of the creation of a new educational paradigm. The philosophical and pedagogical heritage of the teacher has been singled out as an important component of their integral system of views on the meaning of pedagogical creativity and the system of education and upbringing of children and youth. Materials: monographs, educational publications, scientific articles, reviews, are presented and analysed in the article – altogether, 21 works can be attributed to the little-known or unpublished pages of the creative heritage of Mamontov. All these works were considered de visu.A historiographical analysis of the latest works of researchers who studied the pedagogical work of the teacher was carried out and, on this basis, the special contribution of Mamontov to the progress of pedagogical science was revealed. It was concluded that the current creation of a new pedagogical paradigm contributes to a wider acquaintance with the creative work of the teacher and makes prerequisites for considering the concept of pedagogical creativity as a basic component of the advancement of modern education. Through historical-pedagogical knowledge and rethinking, sufficient ideas, forms and methods of organising the educational process are introduced, which contribute to the establishment of the view of Mamontov as a philosopher-thinker, humanist and reformer of pedagogy.

Konsep Penciptaan Manusia Dalam Perspektif Ronggowarsito


 
 
 
 Each faith has its own belief in the process of human creation, and this research will discuss the concept of the creation of the first human in Ronggowarsito's view by reviewing a few stories written in the Paramayoga fiber. This research aims to show the practice of the concept of human creation with the concept of Wihdatu-l-wujud or Manunggaling Kawulo Gusti and to review the concept of the creation of the first human from the perspective of the Javanese poet Rg. Ronggowarsito. The method used in this library research is qualitative analytical descriptive using a text approach model as well as a philosophical and historical approach. From this research it can be concluded that Ronggowarsito concluded that humans were created with seven dignities which at the end point are a manifestation of God and his servants and this is what is called the Manunggaling Kawulo Gusti concept. In the Paramayoga fiber, it is told about Adam as the first human with many very strong syncretic manifestations between Javanese, Hindu and Islamic traditions. From this mixing, a practice emerged from the concept of human creation in Ronggowarsito's view.
 Keywords: Ronggowarsito, Human Creation, Java.
 
 
 

The Animal within Creation: Thoughts from Christian Theology

The article’s topic is animal in Christian religion and concept of creation. It describes how Christian theology has reflected the status and significance of animals in the historical development, which positions it has created or preferred in this matter and how they have changed from biblical times until our post-modern present age. Methodically this cross-section through history means that each period is conveyed in its basic features and presented through selected authors, works or texts of the given time. Along with the historical line, the text also follows the principal question of the nature of the relation between human and animal from a theological viewpoint. The object of reflection is thus also the theoretical basis for a morally justifiable relation of post-modern people to other living creatures. The text mainly deals with the following key aspects: a) anthropocentrism and its difficulties in relation to the position of animals in the western, traditionally Christian culture, b) possible ethical perspectives and consequences of the theological concept of creation for the status of animal today.

An Analysis of Cao Yus Creative Conception of Female Images Transformation in His Plays

As the Pioneer of Chinese Drama, Cao Yu has contributed a series of distinctive and representative female images to contemporary Chinese literature. However, it exists a great transformation in female image creation and aesthetics in his plays. Divided from 1938, modern women represented by Fanyi, Chen Bailu and Hua Jinzi full of passion for life were celebrated by Cao Yu during the pre-time, while traditional women with classic Chinese flavors got well recognized by him during the post-time, such as Doctor Ding, Sufang and Ruijue. The transformation related closely to his creative conception, reflecting Cao Yus re-choice of his aesthetic interests, values, and cultural stance. This article analyzed Cao Yus creative conception from the differences between his two periods of female image creation and aesthetics before and after 1938. In recent years, feminism has been on the rise in China. Therefore, it will not only be beneficial to the Chinese womens liberation movement, but also to the worlds womens liberation movement.

Модель интегральной оценки креативности на основе ее частных показателей

The problems of quantitative assessments of the creativity phenomenon are considered. The necessity of developing a model that allows obtaining a quantitative assessment of the respondent’s creativity is substantiated. The concept of 4K creativity proposed by D. Kaufman is proposed to be used as a basis for developing a model. In accordance with the concept, the creativity indicators are determined. The features are highlighted that are advisable to use in the interests of evaluating the considered indicators characterizing creativity. The elements of critical thinking, creative thinking, communication and cooperation are examined as the dominant indicators that most fully characterize an individual’s creativity. The relationship between the creativity indicators and the individual’s abilities in which they manifest themselves is shown. The structure of the generalised model of creativity in the field of acceptable values of its characteristic indicators is presented. An analytical description of the creativity model is developed. The transition to qualitative indicators of the creativity model is substantiated. Its verbal description is given justifying the permissible limits of indicators within which there is an area of intersection of permissible values of indicators. Applying the tests “Communicative skills” by L. Mikhelson, “Cooperation” by R. Belbin, “Critical thinking” by L. Starkey and “Creative thinking” by S. Mednik for quantitative assessment of creativity indicators in accordance with the developed model is justified. The model validity results in relation to Jerome Bruner test are presented on the example of studies conducted with adjuncts of the Military Academy of the Signal Corps. Conclusions are drawn and directions for further research are determined.

Keeping creativity in English education: A review of Creativity in the English Curriculum: Historical Perspectives and Future Directions

AbstractThis article provides a book review of Creativity in the English Curriculum: Historical Perspectives and Future Directions by Lorna Smith. Smith's work provides a robust chronology of how the concept of creativity has evolved across education policy documents since the inception of subject English in the late 19th century to its current state in England's National Curriculum. It also presents aspirational conceptions of child‐centered and humanistic learning that both stem from the origins of subject English and can inform new generations of imaginative English education and research, for which educators and professionals within and adjacent to English education in England and in other national contexts can benefit.

Being and Essence of Creation in Liber de Causis and Aquinas’s Reception

Derived from Proclus’s Elementatio Theologica, Liber de Causis (LDC), with the concept of “creation” at its core, provides a substantial monotheistic adaptation of the former that was absorbed and criticized by medieval philosophers represented by Aquinas. Taking Aquinas’s classical distinction between being and essence as the axis of inquiry, this paper first points out that, in contrast to Proclus, LDC not only introduces the concept of creation but also includes in this concept the distinction between being and essence. By reviewing the different readings of Avicenna and Aquinas on the division, this paper then sketches out two different tendencies in the medieval Arab and Latin worlds to either accept the concept of creation in LDC that both being and essence of individua are given from the One via intelligence or to take a further monotheistical transformation, which declaims the One bestowing the being of creations directly. Through this case study, this paper attempts to show the influence of LDC on Aquinas’s thought and demonstrate the civilizational transitions, fusions, and exchanges that characterized medieval philosophy.

“There was much new to grok”: an analysis of word coinage in science fiction literature

Abstract As can be witnessed in projects such as The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction (Prucher, Jeff. 2007. Brave new words: The Oxford dictionary of science fiction. Oxford: Oxford University Press), science fiction has been fertile ground for the creation of new words and concepts. Whereas the aforementioned dictionary was constructed by eliciting examples and citations from volunteers, this paper presents an initial foray into data-driven methods for uncovering lexis unique to science fiction. Words unique to science fiction texts are extracted by comparing a science fiction corpus against the British National Corpus (BNC Consortium. 2007. The British National Corpus, XML edition. Oxford Text Archive. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12024/2554 (accessed 29 June 2022)) to produce a list of 306 neologisms from 74 texts. In addition, this study seeks to examine the ways in which authors impart the meaning of such words to the reader, drawing on frameworks of semantic word relations and work in cognitive linguistics. This reveals the use of definitions and glosses by the authors, both in narration and direct speech, co-occurrence with synonyms, and the drip-feeding of attributes pertaining to the concept being referenced. In addition, characters can be shown to struggle with the concepts to which neologisms refer, allowing authors to explore themes of alienation and other-worldliness.

Differentiation Learning Models in Mathematics: A Review of Literature

Differentiated learning has become known in Indonesia since the existence of a “Guru Penggerak” program which was first held in 2020. Differentiated learning is a teaching and learning process that allows students to study subject matter based on their talents, preferences, and individual requirements. Differentiated learning can support the development of learning competencies, one of which is learning mathematics. A literature review is the research approach used in this study. The publications utilized in this study were published during the previous ten years, from 2013 to 2023. Based on the search results using Google Scholar, 34 articles were found that were appropriate and related to this research. The results of the study found that the application of differentiated learning was able to improve learning outcomes, and understanding of the concept of creativity, achievement, interest, and motivation to learn.

The Cinematic Symphony of Sound: An Analysis of the Music and Sound Effects in "Tenet"

This article presents a thorough dissection of the sound design within the film "Tenet," investigating the crucial role of sound in narrative cinema, and how judiciously chosen sound elements can amplify the emotional resonance of a film. As technology has raced forward, film scores have embraced an eclectic mix of musical styles, including neosymphonic, minimalist, pop, and jazz influences, increasingly blurring the lines between electronic music and other sonic sources. Director Christopher Nolan is celebrated for his unique artistic framework and his penchant for non-linear narratives, while composer Ludwig Göransson has infused the score with avant-garde electronic music styles and techniques to articulate the film's complex temporal narrative. The analysis underscores the exactitude in sound selection, the consonance between musical themes and the cinematic story, the alignment of character idiosyncrasies with the temporal and spatial context of scenes, and the indistinct boundaries between sound effects and music. Moreover, by melding electronic music technologies with Wagnerian leitmotif methods, the film is endowed with a distinctive auditory style. The article's ultimate goal is to transpose these cutting-edge creative concepts into the realm of music composition for various media formats.

Lagrange-enhanced GRA method for probabilistic simplified neutrosophic MADM: Yaozhou porcelain decoration design quality evaluation

Yaozhou ware is located in Huangbao Town, Tongchuan City. It began in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Its warm and jade like glaze color, exquisite decorative techniques, and rich and varied utensil shapes all give it a very important position in history. The traditional Yaozhou porcelain contains the ancient people’s concept of creation and their attitude towards humans and nature. Each artifact of Yaozhou porcelain contains the designer’s understanding and emotions about the world, establishing a dialogue between people and objects to form a desired lifestyle. The production method of Yaozhou porcelain that has been preserved for thousands of years shares many similarities with modern design ideas. The quality evaluation of Yaozhou porcelain decoration design is viewed as multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM). The grey relational analysis (GRA) is a useful tool to cope with the MADM issue. The probabilistic simplified Neutrosophic set (PSNSs) is easy to characterize uncertain information during the quality evaluation of Yaozhou porcelain decoration design. In this paper, in order to obtain the weight information, an optimization model is constructed to obtain a simple and exact formula which can be employed to derive the attribute weights values based on the Lagrange function and the probabilistic simplified neutrosophic (PSN) grey relational analysis (PSN-GRA) method is originated for MADM to rank the decision alternatives. Finally, a numerical example for quality evaluation of Yaozhou porcelain decoration design is used to verify the practicability of the PSN-GRA method and compares it with other methods.

Entrepreneurial marketing strategy in craft-based businesses in an emerging market: a qualitative interpretivist approach

PurposeThe primary aim of this study is to gain insight into the entrepreneurial marketing strategy (EMS) decisions made by microenterprises in the craft sector and draw comparisons between the marketing strategy formulation and implementation of conventional businesses and those of craft-based microenterprises with a specific focus on the context of emerging markets, particularly India.Design/methodology/approachThis paper follows a qualitative interpretivist paradigm using a multiple-case methodology approach. It tracks craft-based microenterprises that make furniture or home décor products in India. The study participants were the founders, principal designers, studio managers or craftspersons.FindingsThis study’s findings reveal that craft-based microenterprises implement an EMS that adopts a hybrid form of market orientation strategy. In this approach, the product or creative concept is at the centre of the decision-making, and the customer needs are factored in at a later stage for customisation. These microenterprises prioritise product positioning over segmentation and targeting strategies.Research limitations/implicationsThis study tries to understand marketing strategy decision-making processes among craft-based microenterprises in India. Given that study participants came from only two-product-based craft businesses, this limits the generalisability of the findings to similar or related contexts. This study provides a framework and methodology for replication in other contexts and industries to formulate a nuanced understanding of micro, context-specific, craft-based businesses.Originality/valueThis study uses qualitative analysis to understand EMS in craft-based businesses in India. This study contributes to this fledgling stream of literature at the interface of marketing and entrepreneurship to understand entrepreneurial marketing. This study analyses the marketing strategy of craft-based businesses using the framework of Morgan et al. (2019).

The Liturgical Music in the Italian Church

The modern era of liturgical music in the Church in Italy has favored a situation in which a multiplicity of languages, styles and genres that probably characterize its uniqueness in the world scene coexist. We certainly cannot say that we live such a happy era from this point of view. After almost 60 years in which a false concept of liturgical creativity has been operating almost undisturbed, we are faced with an immense variety of situations within which – even in the presence of virtuous and significant experiences – a sort of generalized mediocrity is imposed which is almost all The cornerstones dictated by tradition and redefined by Vatican II. It is more than ever necessary to rediscover some fundamental concepts: the functionality of liturgical music; the music that wears the word; musical forms; thechoice of the repertoire; the need for training; The task of the liturgical music composer.

Creation of Universal Application and Project Management in Georgian Companies

Developing an universal concept is a creative process. Their effective production is related to the development of production. Studying the concepts of development of well-known leading Georgian companies, both large and medium production, clearly indicates that the competitive advantages they use, are individual. The fundamental points must first be reflected in the universal and original adaptive system of company management proposed by the enterprise. Each new universal concept must correctly reflect the core values of the brand. The universal concept is designed to connect the important problems of enterprise company management, all constituent components and provide a common focus on brand identity. This universal concept is also used by Georgian companies. After the completion of the project development and implementation stages in Georgian companies, the developer carries out a full audit of the enterprise's activities. The development of goods and services is one of the main points of the universal concept. Georgian companies with successful brands are constantly improving their products and services. This process takes many forms, both improving the product itself and accompanying services. Therefore, an important problem of company management is related to the adaptive system of correct management of the company. A universal concept will be created when the development of an innovative product begins, based on the creation of new ideas and concepts. The universal concept of product development is multifaceted and complex; And the closer the competing firms' products are, the more important it is to consider the entire range of values.
