Inkulturasi dalam Pertunjukan Wayang Wahyu: Katekese Iman Melalui Seni

After the Second Vatican Council, the Church showed an open attitude towards local cultural influences as an integral part of its pastoral mission. In Indonesia, the Church responded to this current by adopting various forms of inculturation that went beyond ritual and worship aspects. Br. L. Timotius Wignyosubroto, FIC, responded to this challenge by developing the concept of Wayang Wahyu as an innovative means of faith catechesis through art. Through the establishment of the Ngajab Rahayu group in Surakarta, Wayang Wahyu became a medium that combines elements of traditional Wayang Kulit art with biblical narratives from the Old and New Testaments, as well as religious figures such as the founder of the Order and saints. In every Wayang Wahyu performance, theological dimensions are manifested, such as the Trinity, Christology, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology, and Anthropology. Wayang Wahyu is not just a performing art, but also a creative instrument to instill Christian values and deepen faith catechesis in the local cultural context.

MEMORY AND TIME IN OLES ILCHENKO’S PHOTOPOETRY

The paper considers new creative approaches to the established types of poetry. Building on the theoretical definitions, taxonomies and observations formulated in the works of Aleida Assmann, Roland Barthes, Nina Chamata, Robert Crawford and Norman McBeath, Michael Nott, Irina Rajewski, James Smith, Susan Sontag, et al., the research argues that the artistic practices of photopoetry (“a form of photo-text that takes, for its primary components, poetry and photography”, Michael Nott) offer new ways to interpret certain topics of metaphysical poetry. The material for analysis is taken from a black and white photo-text book “Some Dreams or Kyiv That No Longer Exists” (2007) by a Geneva-based Ukrainian poet and artist Oles Ilchenko. The detailed analysis of it seeks to clarify the structural, stylistic, and semantic characteristics of Ilchenko’s photopoetry. The special attention is paid to the mechanics of cyclization, forms of intermedial interactions, and types of artistic collaboration in this project. It is also noted that the interpretative co-operation with the audience here depends on the readers/viewers’ personal memories and emotions evoked by these photographs and poems. Focusing on the motifs of memory, nostalgia, and transience of life, Ilchenko’s photopoetic cycle explores the metaphysical theme of Death and Time in its connection with the urban space of Kyiv. This project demonstrates that the long form photopoetry provides the 21st century author with some efficient creative instruments to interpret the realities “of peculiar kind” (James Smith), such as time and memory. The contrasting combination of verbal and visual elements in this book creates an effect of double visualization, which accentuates the dynamics and dramatic tension between the poems and the images. The cyclic composition of texts paired with the fragmented and modified photographs transforms the real urban space into a powerful metaphor of memory and personal loss.

Analisis Korelasi Kemampuan Berpikir Divergen dengan Kreativitas Ilmiah pada Mahasiswa Calon Guru IPA

This research aims to analyze the relationship between divergent thinking abilities and scientific creativity. That creativity is stated to originate from divergent and convergent thinking. Quantitative descriptive methods with a correlation approach were used in the research. A total of 100 prospective science teacher students were research subjects using random sampling techniques. Measuring divergent thinking abilities uses an instrument that adapts Graphic Convergent Thinking (GCT), consisting of the Gestalt Completion Test (GCT) and Snowy Picture Test (SPT). The scientific creativity instrument adapts the Scientific Creativity Test (SCT), which contains the dimensions of unusual use, problem finding, product improvement, creative imagination, problem solving, science experimentation, and product design. Correlation analysis was carried out using the Pearson correlation test. The results of the correlation test analysis obtained a Pearson correlation index of 0.932 with a significance of 0.000. These results state that divergent thinking has a very strong correlation with scientific creativity. Divergent thinking gives individuals the ability to produce many solutions with many ways of solving problems. The accuracy of the solution provided depends on the initial knowledge or information that the individual already has. Divergent thinking does not always produce new solutions.

Application of LMS, Google Meet, and PhET Interactive Simulations as an Effort to Develop Student Creativity and Communication Skills in Waves and Optics lectures

This research aims to describe the application of the Learning Management System (LMS), Google Meet, and PhET interactive simulations as an effort to develop student creativity and communication skills in Waves and Optics lectures. This research, which uses a one shot case study design, was carried out in the 2023 academic year (odd semester) at the Physics Education Study Program, FKIP, University of Mataram. The research subjects included all University of Jambi students who took Waves and Optics courses with code 133414. These students took part in the Independent Campus program, namely the Independent Student Exchange (ISE), with a total of 20 people. The instrument for creativity uses a product assessment sheet uploaded to the LMS, namely SPADA Unram, while the instrument for communication skills uses an observation sheet during product presentations via Google Meet. The product in question is a paper that discusses a particular topic accompanied by data from PhET interactive simulations. The assessment score for each indicator for both creativity and communication skills uses a scale of 4. The scores for creativity and communication skills are expressed in percentage form. The research results show that the average score for student creativity is 83.0 (B+ criteria), while student communication skills are 86.8 (A criteria). The lowest score in the creativity aspect is 75 (B criteria) with the highest score being 90 (A criteria). The lowest score in the communication skills aspect is 80 (B+ criteria) with the highest score being 90 (A criteria). Thus, implementing LMS, Google Meet, and PhET interactive simulations can be an alternative in developing creativity and communication skills. Optimizing learning media needs to be done to produce better creativity and communication skills

Application of the ASICC Learning Model (Adapting, Searching, Interprenting, Creating, and Communicating) to Increase Physics Creativity

This research aims to improve students' physics creativity skills through the application of the ASICC learning model. This research is considered necessary because the results of the initial ability analysis of students through teacher and student respondents gave low results of 55 with less categories. This study is a class action research conducted as many as two cycles. Matter in the first cycle is sound waves and matter in the second cycle is light waves. This research was conducted at SMAN 1 Perhentian Raja Kampar regency, Riau province, with the research subjects of grade XI science students as many as 25 people, 10 men and 15 women. This step in research starts from the precycle stage (initial capability analysis), making learning tools and instruments, validating devices and instruments, actions, evaluation, and reflection. Assessment of student creativity is carried out every time the meeting is assessed by the teacher himself through the instrument of student creativity. The student work created is a simple work that can be completed in one meeting. The students' work is in the form of concept maps, poster designs, and data graphics. The average results of students' creativity skills obtained for cycle 1 to cycle 2 are, for cycle 1 with an average of 70.85 and cycle 2 with an average of 77.5. This increase can be seen from the change in the value of creativity for the same work in different cycles

Impact of neck percutaneous interferential current sensory stimulation on swallowing function in patients with Parkinson's disease

Dysphagia is the clinical name for difficulty with swallowing. It can occur with some neurological diseases such as Parkinsonâ–™s disease and, given the rapidly ageing population, the numbers of patients with Parkinsonâ–™s disease and dysphagia is on the rise. Despite being quite commonplace, the complex mechanisms of dysphagia mean that the condition is not well understood. Assistant Professor Masahiro Nakamori is a clinical neurologist investigating the mechanisms of neurological disease, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases and dysphagia. A current focus is on dysphagia and silent aspiration in people with Parkinsonâ–™s disease. He is based in the Department of Clinical Neuroscience and Therapeutics, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Japan. So far, Nakamori has explored several different techniques, including tongue pressure measurement and tongue ultrasonography, which are both used in swallowing evaluation. He is interested in non-invasive techniques that are simple to implement and wants to develop new creative instruments and techniques. In his current research, Nakamori and his collaborators are experimenting with multichannel surface electromyogram to gain a comprehensive understanding of neuromuscular activity. The goal is to develop new techniques and instruments that will help advance clinical neurology and dysphagia research and, of course, benefit patients; improving outcomes and quality of life.

Instrument teachers’ practices, beliefs, and barriers regarding musical creativity: Exploring the creative process of interpretation

Instrumental music teaching traditionally emphasizes the cognitive, motor, and motivational processes of score reproduction, often at the expense of creative musical activities, such as improvisation or composition. Since today’s international art school curricula prominently include creativity competencies, opportunities to integrate creativity in instrumental lessons must be explored. This study investigates instrument teachers’ conception of musical creativity: its scope, opportunities, and risks. About 273 teachers completed an online questionnaire on their use of creative class time, beliefs, and barriers to creative instrument teaching. Although the majority acknowledged the benefits of creative activities for score-playing, they invested little in improvisation and composition due to a lack of time and training in musical creativity. Teachers considered interpretation a valuable form of musical creativity, next to improvisation and composition, but questioned its feasibility in instrument lessons. Implications for instrument-teacher training are discussed.

Development of Inquiry-Based Teaching Materials to Improve the Creativity of Prospective Physics Teachers

This research is part of development research at the development stage. Inquiry-based teaching materials developed to increase the creativity of physics teacher candidates have been validated by experts and declared fit for use. At this stage, the aim is to determine the effectiveness of the developed teaching materials in increasing the creativity of prospective physics teachers. The effectiveness of teaching materials developed by researchers can be known by increasing students' creativity based on the results of the N-Gain test after being given a pretest and posttest. The creativity instrument used is a description test which is divided into verbal and figural creativity tests. The pretest average score for the verbal and figural creativity instruments was 62.71 and the posttest average score for creativity was 93.50 both verbal and visual. This value was then analyzed using the N-Gain test with a calculation result of 82.07%, which means that this value is classified into the high increase category. So it can be concluded that the development of inquiry-based teaching materials to increase the creativity of prospective physics teachers is valid and effective

What kind of schools parents choose when they have more options? Effects of school transport subsidies

It seems that facilitating access to a higher spectrum of schools implies that students will attend higher quality schools, as measured by students’ end-of-class test scores. We test this hypothesis showing new evidence for the effects of school transport subsidies targeting low-income students on school choice in the context of a developing country (Colombia) using a unique panel dataset involving a public-school population with approximately 15 million records. We built a creative instrument deducing unobserved optimal commute decisions, which seems to satisfy the exclusion and relevance conditions, and we found by means of two-stage least squares that metro and bus subsidy beneficiaries choose statistically and economically significantly better schools, approximately a 33% and 37% improvement in the quality school index, respectively. In addition, we found using endogenous ordered probit models that these subsidies increase the probability of attending very high-quality schools by 59% and 94% for the representative beneficiary, respectively. These results suggest that the reduction of costs of transport not only increases accessibility and the set of school choices among low-income students, but also targets students enrolled in better quality schools. Therefore, the local government should increase efforts to get more subsidies targeting uncovered areas.

Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) Machine be Granted Inventorship in India?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is prolific emerging algorithmic general purpose technology that helps inventors in the innovation process or is a component of an invention. AI-assisted inventions and other computer-related inventions (CRIs) generally have few significant differences. A simple instrument for creativity, machines are now a significant contribution to creation because to AI advancements. Medical researchers are using AI machines to find new drugs. These automated systems, also known as “innovative AI”, have been helping to develop new inventions with little to no human involvement.1 Since AI's contribution and autonomous invention process is exponentially growing, there have been instances where a patent applicant has opted to name an AI programme as the inventor in a patent application. The patent offices of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and New Zealand recently rejected a patent application seeking inventorship for an AI computer. Australia and South Africa, on the other hand, have recognised AI as an inventor. In light of the various approaches used around the world, this article examines the key question that emerges in patent granting: can an AI system that is not a natural person be recognised as an inventor and granted a patent in India, including inventorship and ownership?

Of the 8 constructs that emerged, they formed 24 dimensions. The implication of this study is to identify the elements needed to enhance the creativity of TVET students from the experts' point of view.

The Melancholic Persona in Susan Evance’s Sonnet To Melancholy

This paper analyses the sonnet To Melancholy by the English Romantic writer Susan Evance in terms of the representation of the melancholic mind of the authorial persona. The study suggests that the implied author experiences melancholy as a form of mood state rather than a type of disorder or disease peculiar to the melancholic writers of the present and the past. Therefore, the author applies melancholy as a creative instrument and poetic inspiration in the narrative of the poem and a principal way to self-actualize as a Romantic writer. The literary representation of a melancholic mood thus causes the authorial persona to melancholize deliberately not only for her own sake, but also for the sake of both implied and historical readerships. With the aim of realizing her artistic potential, the poetic persona withdraws from the other and rejects society, experiencing a deliberate melancholy detachment for aesthetic reasons and a literary concern. This causes the subjective experience of melancholic suffering to turn out to be a social problem rather than simply a personal issue. Using the terminology of Julia Kristeva and Karen Horney, the paper analyses melancholy as a textual mode and a transient mood that removes self-estrangement but brings about social alienation.

Islamic Banking Under Vision of Green Finance: The Case of Development, Ecosystem and Prospects

The Central Asia-Pacific Conference of the Pakistan Securities Commission - World Bank Group IOSCO Asia Pacific specifically examined "Bridling Islamic Finance for a Green Future" the capability of Islamic money to help environmental change relief and transformation endeavors, including the utilization of Islamic monetary instruments to fund green exercises, including sustainable power, regular assets and energy proficiency projects. It inspected the political, administrative and institutional components fundamental for the feasible utilization of Islamic means to battle environmental change. Furthermore, the meeting introduced a progression of contextual investigations on the new utilization of green sukuk to back projects in Pakistan and Indonesia, as well as the conceivable replication of these instruments in other endlessly developing business sectors. This report intends to sum up the substance of the conversations examined at the gathering. The innovative methodology no longer works inside the ongoing peculiarity of environmental change. While it has been some time since the world has perceived the significance of tending to environmental change, ongoing environment occasions have featured the requirement for pressing activity. The monetary area assumes a fundamental part given how much monetary assets expected to help environmental change alleviation and variation drives. Given the tension on open spending plans, activating confidential area finances through creative instruments becomes fundamental. There are serious areas of strength for a between Islamic money and green money. The meeting featured the genuine hole between Islamic money and green money, or all the more by and large economical money. One issue that has been featured all through has been the normal fit between Islamic money and green money considering its fundamental standards of shared hazard and manageability, which could demonstrate pivotal to supporting speculations to battle environmental change, which frequently include inventive exercises and advances. Islamic money has encountered fast development, and today absolute Sharia-consistent resources are assessed at around $2 trillion. This offers huge potential to help the environmental change plan. Decrease green financial advancement in endless monetary areas, for example, transport and energy squander. A reasonable message from the meeting was that the greener the economy, the better the environmental change peculiarity will be made do. This prompts the quest for adjusted monetary improvement programs that fit well with the essential standards of Islamic funding, which depends on the idea of Maqasid al-Shariah. Development in structures means a lot to expand the degree of subsidizing for projects that benefit the climate. The UN Commission on Trade and Development (UNSTAD) gauges that by 2030, a yearly speculation of $5 trillion to $7 trillion will be expected to support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in non-industrial nations. There should be a drawn-out multilateral way to deal with tending to environmental change, and Islamic money can make a critical commitment by offering different funding arrangements and taking advantage of a more extensive financial backer base. Islamic green money requires a steady biological system to become quicker. The green security market has filled dramatically lately, and Islamic money has the chance to profit by this worldwide pattern. There is a misinterpretation that green bonds are more complicated and costly to issue, and this should be remedied. The green security market is an illustration of how the ordinary capital market has moved its concentration to tending to environment worries in monetary and speculation matters. The Islamic capital market section of Follows is reasonable for the distribution of the green sukuk and, all the more as of late, for the sovereign green sukuk. There are a lot of cases on how Sukuk has been utilized to help ensured green tasks. Key perspectives stick out, for example, working with factors with the execution of lines, the arrangements gave, as well as the involvement in the utilization of sukuk. Principles and rules as key structure blocks for Islamic Green Finance. The fundamental structure and environment are possibly significant drivers for defeating Islamic money and green industry. Controllers are looking for a superior comprehension of the key factors that work with the capital market environment for manageable supporting. This incorporates the improvement of manageable resource classes like green securities/sukuks, assets and records. The gathering featured a portion of the structure impedes that could end up being useful to make ready for Islamic green money. This incorporates examining norms and rules, as well as establishing a climate for Islamic green money, for example the job of global foundations and controllers in making the essential environment.

Visuelle oder klangliche Spuren?

This article focuses on the emerging ethnographic field 'refugee camp' and the challenges it poses in terms of an "engaged ethnomusicology" inscribed into a larger discussion about "public ethnography" and ethically informed collaborative practices. The prevailing focus of mass media and artists serves as a starting point, as they represent migratory phenomena primarily through the visual lens, through material artefacts, denying their multisensory character, particularly their immaterial and sonic aspects. Taking as examples the artistic work of Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei and exhibition concepts presented at the documenta 14 and at the Biennale in Venice 2019, the article questions the predominance of the material approach, the inaudibility of migration because of its compatibility with our "museological thinking'" and an abstract idea of "cultural heritage" as promoted by established cultural institutions in Western Europe. The article argues that sound should instead be taken more seriously into consideration. This includes reflecting on the prominent links between human existentiality and suffering, as well as musical production and performance. It is argued that the temporariness of refugee's musical practice is related to their precarious life conditions in camps suspended in time and space. As practical examples from the French camp of Calais demonstrate, music making in this context offers refugees one possible way to counter-act imposed policies of infantilization, passivity and an omnipresent experience of waiting. In a situation where creative space and musical instruments are a limited resource, social media and music apps generate particular forms of musical creativity and assume a fundamental role which should be acknowledged in research to a larger extent. Such conditions influence also largely the ways in which migrated musicians construct their self-image as "refugee musicians". Taking as an example Syrian pianist Aeham Ahmad, the article shows that such self and foreign attributions may be reductive and result in an ethically problematic branding with commercial intentions. The second part of the article presents a collaborative grassroot-music theatre project realized in a German Erstaufnahmeeinrichtung over a span of 4 months. It offers insights into the limitations of "making audible", or "voicing migrants" everyday concerns through artistic practice. It also questions the idea of developing an "artistic agency" and an equal "cultural participation" in a working context characterized by social and power hierarchies, emotional instabilities, and a constant flow of individuals and ideas. In this context the role of the ethnomusicologist as a (cultural) translator with multiple responsibilities is crucial. Not only does he/she balance out different levels of musical professionality or different aesthetic preferences, but he/she also opens up spaces for creativity for disadvantaged or marginalized individuals in the camps. On another level the researcher's responsibility lies in the task to make practices public which originally were self-referential or of local relevance in a socially segregated space. Despite numerous obstacles to make such interventions "culturally sustainable", the article shows the potentiality of producing bottom-up "counter-images" or "counter-soundings', which could generate counter-discourses to the main media narratives on migration.

MATHEMATICS CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS INSTRUMENT TO SOLVE CUBE AND RECTANGULAR PRISM VOLUME PROBLEMS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Mathematical creative thinking skills can help students solve mathematical problems with diverse, unique, and detailed solutions and strategies. This study aims to produce an instrument capable of obtaining information about students' mathematical creative thinking skills to solve the cube and rectangular prism volume problems for elementary school students. Research and development are applied in this research. The population of this research was sixth-grade elementary school students in Jakarta and West Java. The participants were 33 students in East Jakarta and 15 students in Purwakarta. The sample is based on purposive sampling. The instrument developed was an essay test question. The item validity test shows that the three items are considered accurate for measuring mathematical creative thinking skills correctly. The instrument is considered consistent for measuring mathematical creative thinking skills and can measure mathematical creative thinking skills on similar subjects at different times and places. The difficulty level of the three items is moderate, so that belonging is not too difficult or easy. The discrimination power of the questions is very good to discriminate the skills of students who are classified as high and low. Thus, the mathematical creative thinking skills instrument can be used to understand the mathematical creative thinking skills of sixth-grade and can also be used to measure the mathematical creative thinking skills of fifth-grade elementary school students on the same material for further research.
