EXPLORE THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSMEs)

Indonesia is a country with a large number of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sectors. MSMEs must apply creativity and innovation in order to face increasingly competitive levels of business competition. Understanding and awareness of the importance of creativity and innovation among MSMEs is still low. Understanding the differences between creativity and innovation is still felt to be ambiguous and wrong. The application of the concepts of creativity and innovation is still considered unimportant, considering that many business people want to succeed in their business instantly, without thinking too much, which can drain their mind and energy. The research explores the differences between creativity and innovation, the concept of the importance of creativity and innovation in MSMEs, and the results of research on the importance of creativity and innovation in MSMEs comprehensively examine these things as has never been done before. The aim of the research is to explore the importance of creativity and innovation in MSMEs. The method used is library research, using critical analysis techniques. The results of research exploring the importance of creativity and innovation in MSMEs show that there are 14 differences between creativity and innovation. The importance of creativity and innovation is: (1) creativity and innovation have been accepted in the fields of business/business and management, and can only be achieved through creative and innovative solutions; (2) creativity and innovation in business are two things that business people need to have and develop for success; and (3) creativity and innovation are so important in the business world, that it is necessary to optimize creative and innovative abilities and ideas. Research studies on the importance of creativity and innovation in MSMEs include: the importance of creativity and innovation, the role of creativity and innovation, the impact of creativity and innovation, and the influence of creativity and innovation. The research on the importance of creativity and innovation examines the following 12 things: (1) entrepreneurship (ability, competence, intention, spirit and entrepreneurial mindset); (2) business success/success; (3) continuity/sustainability of business; (4) business development/progress; (5) increasing competitiveness/competitive advantage; (6) buying interest; (7) purchasing decisions; (8) increasing consumer purchasing power; (9) consumer satisfaction; (10) increasing the value of products/services; (11) increase in sales volume/income turnover; and (12) business/marketing performance.

Identification, extraction, and application of orange peel color extracts for silk fabric coloration

Under-utilized orange peel waste contains natural colorants that might be used for textile dyeing. Research into orange peel waste as natural colorants provides benefits for both the agricultural and fashion industry with a creative and sustainable solution. This research performed the extraction of colorants from the orange peel as plant dyes and investigated their potential dyeing capability of silk fabrics. With full factorial analysis, we determined the optimal extraction conditions by comparing 100 % ethanol, 70 % ethanol, and water, aiming to achieve the highest absorbance for the extracted solution. Conditions obtained with the best performance include an extraction temperature of 60 °C, an extraction time of 120 min, and a material-to-liquor ratio of 1:20 (wt/vol) for both 100 % and 0 % ethanol. To attain the highest K/S values on textiles with orthogonal experimental design, the optimal dyeing profiles of silk fabrics with water solution were found to be 100 °C, 60 min, pH 3, and Liquid Ratio of 1:15. Colorfastness results of crocking, washing, and sunlight are in favor of the usage of orange peel color extracts for textile application.

Nursing Students' Perceptions of Academic Literacy Education - Reflections from the Swedish Red Cross University

Academic literacies refer to academic writing as social practices. This study describes first-term nursing students’ perceptions of the academic literacy education provided and its significance for their forthcoming training and clinical practice. Nine student nurses at the Swedish Red Cross University participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using latent content analysis. Two categories were identified: A challenging but rewarding step focused on the students’ struggles to become academically literate. A professional outlook targeted the students’ perceptions of the requirement to acquire academic literacies for their training and future clinical practice. The results provide insights of dichotomous perspectives among nursing students regarding their need to acquire academic literacies. Some of the students convey a resistant and sceptical view of adding academic education to nursing training. Others acknowledge the requirement of being academically literate, a competence sometimes hard-won. However, in their struggles, teacher guidance was requested; an appeal that needs to be met with creative solutions. Repetitive approaches by teachers combined with the use of student initiatives are proposed to enable improved academic literacy levels among the students.

CONNECTING THE DOTS: COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AMONG OLDER ADULTS, STUDENTS, AND INSTRUCTORS

Abstract Although the aging process is a universal phenomenon, misconceptions regarding late adulthood are prevalent, such as loneliness and dependency, which often lead to negative stereotypes and poor developmental outcomes (Kotter-Grühn, 2015); thus, it is important to minimize these stereotypes in an educational platform. Intergenerational discussions have been shown to be a robust approach in reducing stereotypes (Canedo-García et al., 2017; Golenko et al., 2019); especially if it is used to dismantle “othering” the groups by creating community and collectivist perspectives (D’Antonio, 2020). My goal is to explore how intergenerational discussions can be used in the classroom to facilitate collaborative learning among older adults, students, and instructors. In the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters, I partnered with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) to connect undergraduate students with older adults from the community. The course centered around the students’ social innovation project- address how current systems may not adequately support older adults and propose a creative solution. The students interviewed the OLLI members throughout the semester about course content (e.g., their awareness of age-related discrimination and barriers in their community). At the end of the semester, students used their accumulated information from both the OLLI members and the course material to propose their social innovation to the OLLI members. The OLLI members asked questions, made recommendations, and highlighted limitations in the students’ work. I observed collaborative thinking and sharing across both groups during these presentations. Overall, intergenerational discussions were a valuable tool in the classroom.

The Intersections of Innovation

To unlock the power of creativity and innovation, it is very important to engage the entire in- novation ecosystem so that the full potential can be unveiled. These collaborative intersectional spaces between different disciplines — academia-industry, faculty-administration, and faculty-students — can open new dimensions for creative excellence, and thus, such intersectional spaces need to be created and nurtured. To this end, here, the pillars of innovation: creativity, motivation, ecosystem, and support, are discussed and their impacts on generating innovations are presented. While existing challenges in the academic setting are acknowledged, the role of faculty and the technology transfer offices and their positive interactions have a very critical role in the success of generating impactful innovations and their transfer to commercialization. In addition to the pillars of innovation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are crucial components for creating impactful and sustainable innovations. Embracing diversity in all its forms, providing equitable opportunities for all, fostering an inclusive environment, and ensuring justice for all members of the ecosystem can lead to a broad range of perspectives and ideas, ultimately resulting in more creative and impactful solutions to the current and future challenges of the 21st century.

Development of small and medium entrepreneurship in the Republic of Kazakhstan in transition from resource-based to innovative economy

In today's dynamically changing world, the small and medium-sized enterprise sector ensures the competitiveness of the state. Small business serves as a catalyst for innovation, a generator of creative solutions, and its presence creates a springboard for the country’s dynamic breakthrough. The small business sector is able to quickly respond to external turbulent changes and focus on producing in-demand goods and services for both domestic and foreign markets. Large-scale work is underway in Kazakhstan to support the SME sector. However, the share of innovative products in the GDP structure remains low. The transition from a resource-based to an innovative economy is possible with the activation of small and medium-sized businesses. The purpose of the article is to apply the concept of the quadruple helix to enhance the innovative activities of SMEs by intensifying partnership interaction. The research methodology is based on presenting the role of SMEs in the innovative development of the state. Based on the calculated correlation indicators of the effectiveness of investments in innovation in Kazakhstan, the authors made conclusions about the need for state support in segments that provide breakthrough innovations. The authors used general scientific, statistical, correlation, and retrospective methods of analysis. In the context of digitalization of economic sectors, a model of interaction between stakeholders of a regional digital technology platform has been proposed to enhance the innovative activities of SMEs. The results can be used by government agencies and representatives of higher education to ensure the transition from a resource-based to innovative economy.

Mental Health and Environmental Coping Mechanisms of the Diabetic Patient and Implications on Hospitalization Duration

Introduction. Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological and social well-being, where the individual manages to successfully manage daily life, valuing himself and others, while being socially integrated, happy and fulfilled. Adaptability to the environment is the ability of the person or organism to adjust, to transform, according to the changes and demands of the environment. These skills require learning from experiences, finding creative solutions and developing the ability to cope with stressors. Integration into the environment requires constant personal development. Unfortunately, we live in times when the environment is changing at a speed that is difficult for the human body and psyche to manage and follow. Material and method. In this study, part of a larger study, 80 diabetic patients aged between 19 and 70 years were included. The longitudinal research period was 2015-2022, following the number of days of hospitalization and the length of hospitalization for each hospitalization in “Sf. Ap. Andrei” Emergency Clinical Hospital Galati. The patients, in compliance with data protection and legislation in force, were administered a psychological questionnaire tracking their adaptability to the environment and their rational and irrational beliefs in relation to life. The data were centralized and analysed in the SPSS statistical software, looking for correlations between psychological aspects and hospitalization duration/frequency, assuming that patients with significant test results are patients suffering from diagnosed or not yet diagnosed psychosomatic disorders. Conclusions. The results of the questionnaire and the anamnesis revealed that most of the patients had irrational beliefs and attitudes towards themselves, others and life, completely dysfunctional. Extrapolating that these patients also have psychosomatic disorders, we can state that the statistical results obtained predict that a person with psychosomatic disorders will have more frequent presentations to the doctor, while each hospitalization will be longer than that of patients with the same pathology, without associated psychosomatic disorders. In this sense, both the correlations obtained and the linear regression with predictive value, force us to think in the long term and bring to light the need to implement a diagnostic tool at the disposal of the diabetologist, internist and emergency physician, for further collaboration with the psychiatric physician, all for the ultimate good of the patient.

Technology for dementia care: what would good technology look like and do, from carers’ perspectives?

BackgroundThe development of technology in dementia care has largely been without consultation with carers, and has primarily focused on safety, monitoring devices, and supporting activities of daily living. Further, while involving end-users in the design of technology has been recommended, this is yet to become common practice.MethodWe conducted a mixed methods study with the aim of investigating carers’ values and priorities for technology development, including prior experiences, barriers to use, and what they would like technology to do. Importantly, we asked carers for their design ideas and bespoke technology solutions for future development.ResultsCarers of people living with dementia (N = 127), including both unpaid (n = 102) and paid carers (n = 25) residing in Australia, completed an online survey. In addition, a subsample of carers (n = 23) participated in semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrate that carers want technology to be person-centred, customisable, and to increase opportunities for meaningful social connection. Findings also demonstrate the ability of carers to generate creative design solutions for dementia care.ConclusionsThese findings and implications will be discussed in relation to the importance of co-design with carers and engineers during the design phase of assistive technology. Also, the importance of technology to enhance, not replace, human-to-human social interactions is highlighted.

PELATIHAN PENULISAN KREATIF DALAM MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN DI DESA SINDANGSARI

Writing activities are basically good activities for children to do. By writing, children's creativity can be increased and a child is like immersing himself in the creative process which means the child creates something which also means asking questions, experiencing doubts and confusion until finally finding a solution. And when the creative process is increasingly practiced, it becomes easier for children to transfer their skills to other fields that also require creative solutions, such as school and other activities. From the results of observations of junior high school children and adolescents in the village of Sindangsari, Cabangbungin District, Bekasi Regency. has a high interest in reading short stories and is quite interested in trying to write stories, but there are still some children who have minimal interest in reading and writing, therefore the writer is interested in helping them develop their abilities and express feelings through writing stories in the service of the writer's KKN It is hoped that it can attract children's interest and motivation to write by using an approach that emphasizes the importance of the learning process for students, namely Story Telling or Reading stories, and Writing Training.

FORMATION OF SPEECH SKILLS OF FUTURE TEACHERS USING ELEMENTS OF THEATRICALIZATION AND PSYCHODRAMA

In the process of searching for ways to better prepare future foreign language teachers for professional activities, the effectiveness of using elements of linguistic theater and psychodrama for the formation of speech skills at a higher level has been experimentally proven. This article discusses the advantages of integrating elements of linguistic theater and psychodrama into the traditional educational process, which makes it possible to create a favorable atmosphere, introduce variety into the process of forming speech skills, motivate students to further work on the foreign language they are learning, and encourage them to fi nd new creative solutions to communicative problems. This method develops such speech skills as monologue-message, monologue-persuasion, monologue-reasoning and monologue-description. Specific social roles that students try on in linguistic theater activate the reactivity of dialogical speech and motivate productive speech dialogic statements. The use of elements of psychodrama also makes it possible to create situations of verbal interaction between several participants in a psychodramatic action, which requires students to be able to perceive information, analyze it and express their opinions adequately to the accepted norms of speech etiquette of the country of the language being studied, which forms speech skills at a higher level. The spontaneous nature of psychodrama gives students impulses for improvisation, for moving away from memorized speech clichés, for productive statements. The article discusses the stages of applying the elements of linguistic theater and psychodrama: the introductory part, the psychodramatic action and the fi nal refl ective-analytical stage. The authors emphasize that this method requires lengthy preparation, as a result of which its integration into the educational process is not always possible, however, the use of its mini-forms within traditional classes creates an atmosphere of creativity, involves each student in speech interaction, helps to overcome language and psychological barriers and form speech skills at a higher level

Decision making processes and power dynamics in timber production co-management: A comparative analysis of seven Brazilian Amazonian community-based projects

Power asymmetries are a major obstacle to inclusive and robust decision making in collaborative management (or co-management), whereby multiple actors, principally government and local communities, jointly make decisions to achieve natural resource management goals. We compared seven community-based timber projects under different co-management arrangements within three Brazilian Amazonian extractive reserves to illuminate how decision making was organized (structure) and how it actually operated (function) with respect to power dynamics among multiple actors. Over a 15-month field season, we conducted participant observation and 52 semistructured interviews, systematically analyzed over 30 key timber management decision-making meetings, and employed Q-methodology to ascertain diverse actor perspectives of power dynamics. Our overall analysis revealed that decisions across all seven timber projects were gradually made through multiple meetings at community, extractive reserve, and beyond extractive reserve levels – a positive approach that can lead to continuous problem-solving. The 16 Q-sorters perceived decision making in these meetings to be participative, respectful of all actors' rights to speak, and allowed for some knowledge exchange, suggesting that unequal power dynamics (as observed in our study) does not necessarily prevent the opportunity to voice one's opinion. This participation also decentralized decision-making processes, boosting chances that community-level actors used their crucial local knowledge and advocated for their interests. Still, in one reserve, community members were ill prepared to make informed decisions, lacking sufficient technical training and trusted long-term support from non-governmental external actors. Furthermore, some Q-sorters noted insufficient community-level actors in decision-making processes, because deliberative spaces were beyond their physical reach. Yet in two reserves, innovative logistical strategies were developed to compensate and accommodate this challenge. In the third reserve, however, in the absence of intentional and creative solutions to geographical and cultural distances, there were limited interactions among the communities and external actors, giving rise to minimal information flow and weakened representation of community interests in decision making. We also demonstrated that actors in power (government forest administration officers) or those with perceived power (financial or forest technical providers, community leaders), sometimes acted strategically over other actors, particularly those perceived as without power (community residents), to alter their behavior, constrain their choices, and influence their expectations regarding decision outcomes. We conclude that power asymmetries can be overcome in natural resource co-management decision making, using deliberate, thoughtful, and creative participatory approaches.

The article examines the main problems of the XXI century, the overcoming of which led to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015, replacing the Millennium Development Goals. The authors systematically consider the governance process in sustainable development, paying particular attention to the structural-functional and information-behavioral subsystems of governance. Also, special attention is paid to the development of information technology and civil society, as well as other changes that took place in the late XX – early XXI century. These changes have influenced the concepts of public administration, which are fundamental to achieving the SDGs. The article aims to determine the methodological approaches necessary for the functioning of the public administration system in the context of sustainable development. The main research method used was a bibliographic study, both descriptive and analytical. The analysis of scientific literature allowed the authors to conclude that the following modern concepts of public administration in the context of sustainable development can be implemented: "management of public values," "digital citizenship," "political networks," "smart (receptive/reflective) governance," results/goals-based management, FAST-concept, "Open Government," and "Activating State." The importance of involving people in addressing sustainable development issues related to significant social, economic, and environmental problems, policy-making, and public service delivery is hardly disputed today. As shown, modern concepts are aimed at enabling citizens to participate in such processes. These include access to and availability of information and the development of communication technologies, including social media. In the XXI century of Knowledge Societies, the most creative solutions will be created through open interaction and reliance on shared resources. The extraordinary events (the pandemic and the war in Ukraine) have significantly slowed down the process of achieving Sustainable Development Goals and, in some cases, made it impossible to achieve any results for some goals. As a result, a new model of public administration in the context of sustainable development will be required. The prospects for further research include defining a new concept of public administration and its provision, which will consider the advantages of modern concepts and ensure their synergistic effect so that the sustainable development agenda is adopted not only by the state but also by business and society.

Człowiek i superbohater – Marvelowskie spojrzenie na Jana Pawła II


 
 
 The subject of interest in the paper is the comic book biography The Life of Pope John Paul II. In the 1980s, John Paul II was not only treated as the head of the Catholic Church, but held a place in popular culture. The article points out that the Marvel comic book was one of the works that positioned the Pope within an axiological community of superheroes who, in the most general perspective, showed what a life full of heroism should look like. Thus, the paper analyses the elements of the superhero rhetorical model and features typical of the comic medium that highlight the uniqueness of John Paul II’s biography. Furthermore, to fully reveal the persuasiveness of the creative solutions employed in this work, situating the Pope between a man and a superhero, the author refers to the analytical propositions of Roland Barthes and Michał Rusinek concerning the rhetoric of visual representations.
