Generative Literature: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Writing Process

This study explores the emerging phenomenon of AI-generated literature and its implications for creative writing, focusing on the characteristics of AI-generated texts, the impact of AI-human collaboration on the creative process, and the challenges posed by these technologies for traditional concepts of authorship, originality, and creativity. Through a comparative analysis of selected AI-generated literary works and a case study of the "Pharmako-AI" project, this research reveals the distinct stylistic, thematic, and structural features of AI-generated literature, as well as the complex dynamics of AI-human collaboration in the creative process. The findings suggest that while AI can serve as a powerful tool for creative exploration and experimentation, it also has limitations in terms of consistency, coherence, and emotional depth, and requires significant human input and judgment to shape the final literary output. The study contributes to the understanding of AI in creative writing by providing concrete insights into the capabilities and limitations of these technologies, and by highlighting the need for new frameworks and models to understand the nature of creative agency in the age of AI. The implications of AI-generated literature for the field of literature and future literary practices are discussed, including the potential for new forms of literary expression, new modes of authorship and collaboration, and new challenges to traditional concepts of originality and creativity. The study concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of new theoretical and methodological approaches to analyze and evaluate AI-generated literature.

Complex integrative-creative activity in the educational process

Modern education presents the student not as a passive recipient of knowledge, but as an active participant in the educational process. Special attention in the higher medical school is paid to the development of the mental abilities of students. At the same time, many new views on the creative process appear, which contributes to the generation of new educational approaches to the concept of creativity in the educational process.

Path-based Design Model for Constructing and Exploring Alternative Visualisations.

We present a path-based design model and system for designing and creating visualisations. Our model represents a systematic approach to constructing visual representations of data or concepts following a predefined sequence of steps. The initial step involves outlining the overall appearance of the visualisation by creating a skeleton structure, referred to as a flowpath. Subsequently, we specify objects, visual marks, properties, and appearance, storing them in a gene. Lastly, we map data onto the flowpath, ensuring suitable morphisms. Alternative designs are created by exchanging values in the gene. For example, designs that share similar traits, are created by making small incremental changes to the gene. Our design methodology fosters the generation of diverse creative concepts, space-filling visualisations, and traditional formats like bar charts, circular plots and pie charts. Through our implementation we showcase the model in action. As an example application, we integrate the output visualisations onto a smartwatch and visualisation dashboards. In this article we (1) introduce, define and explain the path model and discuss possibilities for its use, (2) present our implementation, results, and evaluation, and (3) demonstrate and evaluate an application of its use on a mobile watch.

Az egyetemi hallgatók vállalkozási hajlandósága és motivációi

In recent decades, the concepts of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship have become key players in modern economic development and have received increasing attention both in the European Union and in our country. At present, the SME sector accounts for more than half of the workforce, which is why it is important to monitor their development and performance, as they have a significant impact on the performance of the domestic economy, and thus entrepreneurship and the promotion of entrepreneurial activities are a priority economic policy issue, and can contribute significantly to economic growth, job creation and the competitiveness of the country. As a result of our research on entrepreneurship and its determinants, it can be concluded that entrepreneurship depends on a number of factors, including personal characteristics, attitudes, motivations, educational and cultural background, economic and legal environment, market opportunities and challenges. The results show that more than 90 percent of university students have a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship and nearly 10 percent of them already have a business during their university years. Among the personal motivational factors, the most common responses from those surveyed were financial security, self-fulfilment and social recognition and challenge. This suggests that university students perceive self-employment as more stable than employment. The high influencing factors of self-fulfilment and challenge factors clearly show that university students are not self-employed by necessity, but would start a business for a good business opportunity, to achieve their own plans and goals. The most negatively influencing factors for starting a business according to respondents are financial risk, lack of start-up capital and lack of information, all of which could be addressed by government grants and start-up tenders and other funding opportunities. Despite the fact that the vast majority of students are open to starting a business, very few are aware of the public grants and other funding opportunities available to support entrepreneurship. When asked whether they would like to receive information on starting a business or developing a business idea in the future, nearly 90% of students would like to receive information in the context of compulsory university courses, optional courses and dedicated events.

Institutional Economics in the Mirror of 2023 Publications

Bibliographic studies of scientific publications have become popular nowadays. This paper attempts to answer the question – what is happening with institutional economics in Russia. The empirical base is data from the scientific electronic library Elibrary.ru on articles of 2023. At the first stage of the study, a selection of journals was carried out (76 in total). The selection criterion was belonging to Q1 of the Higher Attestation Commission list and inclusion in the top 100 journals according to the Science Index rating (Economics, Economic Sciences). The selected journals are characterised by their founders, place of publication and year of foundation. It is revealed that institutional economics is mentioned in the editorial policy of nine journals. At the second stage, we selected articles published in 76 journals by the presence of the terms "institution" and "institutional" in their titles and keywords (a total of 191 articles). We found a rather high concentration of these articles in the core of journals whose editorial policy either mentions institutional issues or whose thematic orientation is extremely broad. At the third stage, articles were sorted by annotations and keywords by expert means, and publications related to economic institutionalism (96 in total) were singled out. The distribution of these articles across journals and affiliations is shown, and the characteristics of co-authorship and collaborations are identified. The metadata of the articles was then used to conduct a content analysis of the nature and thematic focus of the articles, the data and methods used, and the terminology of the research. To better understand the nature of the research being conducted, the content analysis was supplemented by reviewing the content of the articles. The analysis made it possible to draw a conclusion about the predominance of empirical studies. Among theoretical articles there is an orientation towards the formation of original author's concepts on the basis of "synthesis" and "interdisciplinarity", as well as the so-called "conceptual creativity". In a significant part of empirical works the elaboration of theoretical foundations of research is insufficient.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE STATE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE THEORY OF JUSTICE

The article is devoted to the study of an important problem - how to build a reliable model of interaction between the state and the individual based on the idea of social justice in modern society. This issue is especially relevant against the background of rapid political and social changes that require the unification of citizens around common values and a vision of the future. Renewal of the ideological foundation, which is the basis of national identity, as well as the formation of a unified outlook on social justice can become a powerful driver of the state’s development.The main goal of the article is to find effective approaches to the modernization of society through the creation of a nationwide concept of social justice, which is able to unite society around common values and contribute to the formation of trust in social institutions. For this, the article refers to the theory of John Rawls «justice as honesty», which has already proven itself in European countries as an effective basis for establishing social harmony. The study also examines two main ethical concepts – «correctness» and «goodness», which complement Rawls’s theory and provide an opportunity to build a more stable ideological foundation for Ukraine.The research methodology includes systemic-analytical, historical, comparative and structural-functional approaches, which allow a comprehensive assessment of how mass attitudes and social attitudes affect the formation of the concept of justice in the country. Sociological methods were also used, which helped to identify shortcomings in the attitude of citizens towards state institutions and to determine the main directions for strengthening public consensus.The results of the study demonstrate that there is a lack of a generally accepted vision of social justice in Ukrainian society, and the lack of a single ideological reference point makes it difficult for citizens to consolidate around national priorities. Sociological surveys indicate a low level of trust in state institutions, which significantly slows down reform processes. Therefore, the implementation of the concept of social justice requires active cooperation between the public and the political elite, efforts to restore trust and build a positive vision of the future.As a result, the author of the article concludes that in order to build a just and prosperous society, it is necessary to update the existing approaches to social policy. Only through the creation of a common ideological field based on justice and an active citizen position, it is possible to achieve sustainable development of the country and ensure the consolidation of the nation.

Управление результативностью микрофинансовых организаций предпринимательского финансирования с использованием алгоритмов машинного обучения

Article discusses theoretical problems of performance management of microfinance organizations as a hybrid form of entrepreneurship with dual objectives. The paper presents scoring models of decision-making on granting loans by public microfinance organizations of entrepreneurial finance based on forecasting the growth of borrowing companies. The models are built on the basis of data from 252 SME companies that received financial support from state microfinance organizations in Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krai for the period 2019-2022. The results demonstrate the high accuracy of the obtained models and their performance is confirmed by out-of-sample forecasting results. The theoretical result of the study is the development of an approach that allows integrating the principles of strategic management with the concept of value creation of public microfinance organizations. The practical significance stems from the development of a flexible decision-making algorithm that allows the management of microfinance organizations to adjust the criteria for selecting borrowers in accordance with the organizations’ strategic objectives. The algorithm assumes an ensemble structure of decision-making, where the manager of a microfinance organization receives an automated decision, but remains responsible for its result.

The Rise of the Term ‘Analytic Philosophy’ in Britain in the Early 1930s and Its Contemporary Evolution: Conceptual Creativity and Conceptual Engineering

Ernest Nagel’s two-part article entitled “Impressions and Appraisals of Analytic Philosophy in Europe” undoubtedly played a crucial role in the development of analytic philosophy in both Europe and the United States. Nagel articulates the shared metaphilosophical assumptions embraced by philosophers from various centres, including Prague, Vienna, Lviv, Warsaw, and Cambridge. Nevertheless, it is important to note that philosophers began to describe themselves using the term “analytical philosopher,” or a similar term, particularly within the intellectual centre of Cambridge, in the early 1930s in Britain. In this article, I shall compare how these philosophers conceptualized “analytic philosophy” with the metaphilosophical assumptions outlined by Nagel. Then, I shall draw a comparison between the understanding of analytic philosophy in the early 1930s in Britain, and contemporary conceptions such as “conceptual creativity” and “conceptual engineering.” As it turns out, a part of contemporary analytic philosophy is more open to social-practical issues than it was in the early 1930s in Britain, especially in the intellectual centre that was Cambridge.

Modern Artistic Space: the Problem of Anthropological and Aesthetic Transformation

Introduction. The problem of analyzing the contemporary artistic space has its own evolution, its genesis is reduced to understanding different kinds of transformations in relation to the traditional art as a form of creative perception of reality based on spiritual values. As a result of the evolution of the creative process, most of the contemporary art practices, especially conceptual ones, «expel» anthropological and aesthetic origins from art. To understand why do such processes occur in the field of low-aesthetic reality, the author analyzes the problem of anthropological and aesthetic transformation of modern art, the main trends and place of a person in the contemporary artistic process.Methodology and sources. The author uses, first, hermeneutic methodology of analysis of artistic texts and conceptual approaches of authors; secondly, a set of artistic-aesthetic and artistic-historical methods aimed at identifying and generalizing materials, Dedicated to specific works of art; and, thirdly, philosophical-anthropological methodical analysis of the postmodern cultural situation and place of a person.Results and discussion. As a result of the discussions it was revealed that the characteristics of the current elitist conceptual practices of the postmodern period are: pluralism and offbeat from any canons; frank citation and borrowing; conceptualization of any gestures of the artist; the multiplicity of interpretations; multi-level perception; rejection of imagery; experimenting with new forms; creating the illusion of a «game of reality»; irony, pastiche, black humor and shock value; and finally, the author’s death and the loss of one’s own «I».Conclusion. In modern culture conceptualism becomes an articularized form of expression of the artistic consciousness of postmodernism. As art moves beyond its boundaries, it completely transforms its ontological foundations, then its anthropological core disappears and the author’s «death» occurs. The products of conceptual creativity are some kind simulacrums of language, style or symbols, which simulate pre-existing human values. Such art neantisates person with traditional values, perverts the meaning of creativity itself, transforms the aesthetic and the anthropological attitudes of the creative process.

Legal construction and its types in the complex of elements of law-making technique

Legal construction is a key tool in the law­making technique, ensuring the systematicity, logic and consistency of regulatory legal acts. The article considers legal construction as a methodological category of the theory of state and law, its place and role in the formation of legal systems. The relevance of the study is due to the need for theoretical understanding of the basic principles and methods of constructing legal constructions in the modern law-making process of Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the role of legal constructions in the theory of state and law as the basis for the formation of the categorical apparatus of law, law­making activity and law enforcement. In domestic law, interest in the study of legal construction is increasingly evident. This applies mainly to industry disciplines, rather than general theoretical research. The latest developments in this area, as a rule, focus on the analysis and assessment of specific legal constructions already embedded in Ukrainian reality. The general issues of the nature and functioning of legal constructions remain outside the scope of discussion, in particular the rules and principles of their creation, the conditions of effectiveness, the principles of co­organization into an effectively operating system, the conditions of “transfer” from one legal system (branch) to another, the mechanisms of functioning and interaction, etc. It is shown that legal constructions are the basis for the creation of legal concepts, institutions and doctrines that ensure the stability and effectiveness of the legal system. The study focuses on the importance of legal constructions for building concepts of legal personality, legal relations, legal facts and other basic elements of the theory of law. The main types of legal constructions (basic, functional, complex) are identified and their practical significance is analyzed. The article also focuses on the problems that arise when forming and using legal constructions in law-making activities, such as inconsistency of terminology, lack of unified methodological approaches and insufficient adaptation to international standards. In the context of modern challenges, ways of improving law-making techniques through standardization, an interdisciplinary approach, and digitalization of legal activity are proposed. The proposed recommendations are aimed at developing the theoretical basis of jurisprudence and improving the law-making process in Ukraine in order to increase its efficiency in accordance with modern social challenges.

Sound creation and cross-cultural communication in contemporary Chinese art: From the 1980s to the present

This study explores how Chinese sound art in exhibition contexts has evolved since the 1980s and examines its interactions with Western sound art. It provides a detailed analysis of representative exhibitions and works to investigate the creative concepts, cultural backgrounds, and international influences shaping Chinese sound art. While Chinese sound art has roots in local experimentation, it has increasingly integrated into the international exhibition system, gaining recognition through frequent exchanges and participation in global events. The study highlights a gap in academic attention toward the unique challenges and opportunities present in the exhibition environments of Chinese sound art. By adopting a methodological approach that combines historical analysis with case studies of key exhibitions, it traces the transformation of sound art into an independent artistic language in China. In addition, it examines conceptual, technical, and cultural distinctions between sound art in China and the West, shedding light on how these differences shape artistic practices and audience experiences. Ultimately, the study argues that Chinese sound art has developed a distinctive sound esthetics that intertwines traditional cultural symbols with contemporary global influences, marking its significance as a critical component of the evolving international sound art discourse.

Considering African philosophy as a way of life through the practice of philosophical counselling

Contributions of Pierre Hadot pertaining to the notion of philosophy as a way of life have had a profound and enduring influence upon philosophical counselling. Philosophical counsellors, such as Robert Walsh and Arto Tukiainen, embrace this imperative by living their philosophical counselling practices. A prevailing trend among these practitioners lies in their almost exclusive reliance upon either ancient Greek philosophical traditions as expounded by Hadot and Martha Nussbaum, or in their adaptation of Western philosophy. Regrettably, a conspicuous omission prevails regarding the incorporation of contemporary African philosophy, notably their philosophical praxes as a way of life/living, within the philosophical counselling discourse. The integration of African philosophy into philosophical counselling holds significant promise, particularly concerning the potential to impact ways of living within a southern African context. Within the wider landscape of contemporary African philosophy, certain authors have already conceptualised Ubuntu philosophy as a way of life/living. Notwithstanding, I undertake to introduce two additional African philosophical practices, namely hermeneutic African philosophy and conversational philosophy. I advance a novel interpretation of both by positioning them as relevant praxes for philosophical counselling. Emphasis is placed on interpretative actualisations in response to lived experiences, contextualised within a conversational framework. The implications for philosophical counselling are threefold: first, there is a disclosing of alternative ways of living/becoming along with the creation of new concepts; second, the relational dimension of philosophising is emphasised; and third, methodological constraints concerning the practice of philosophical counselling are transcended while embracing the transformative potential of reflective, creative and critical conversations.

The role of intellectual stimulation on students creativity improvement in higher education: A systematic literature review

In Higher Education, intellectual stimulation as a key aspect of transformational leadership, plays a vital role in fostering creativity and critical thinking among students. Several efforts have been made to improve students’ creativity in teaching and learning. Intellectual stimulation in Higher Education plays a significant role in fostering keen interest for learning and preparing students for future challenges. It creates a dynamic educational experience that benefits both the educators and students. However, there are still many institutions that have not optimized their students’ capacity development. For this reason, intellectual stimulation is considered as a strategic means for the improvement of creativity in education. All over the world, educational institutions encourage transformative teaching and learning skills design so as to implement a shift from the traditional pedagogy and be more creative with their teaching activities. Nevertheless, teaching and learning accomplishments in Higher Education are often faced with the challenge of resistance to change which slows down the improvement of students’ creativity improvement. This study comprises a systematic literature review using PRISMA approach to track related researches on the role of intellectual for the improvement of creativity in teaching and learning in Higher Education. The study defines the concept of intellectual stimulation and creativity in teaching and learning. The significance of intellectual stimulation in Higher Education is to enhance teaching strategies, influence policies and guide future research by providing a clear and impactful contribution through the promotion of active learning, encouraging student feedback on their thinking processes, directing funding towards innovative teaching methods and technologies that enhance intellectual stimulation in order to build supportive learning environments and finally, policy makers can use findings on intellectual stimulation to advocate for curricula that emphasizes problem solving, creativity and real world application .Results obtained indicate that intellectual stimulation plays a crucial role in improving students’ creativity. Findings from the study can be linked to potential policy changes for enhancing educational practices and improving education policies serving as advocates for inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills. The potential contribution of this review study will prompt educators to encourage questioning, introduce diverse learning activities such as group projects and case studies, critical thinking exercises, foster a growth mindset in students, connect to real world issues.

Unlocking Employees Creative Potential: The Role of Self-Efficacy and Innovation in Sustainability

From the Pakistani perspective, the current study reveals the crucial role of employees in improving sustainability, mediated by self-efficacy and innovation. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between employees’ self-efficacy and the potential for sustainable development through innovation. Data was gathered using questionnaires from 200 individuals operating in Pakistan's high-tech manufacturing industry of Hayatabad industrial state, Peshawar. The national language of Urdu was used for the questionnaires, but respondents also had the option to choose English. The questionnaire replied to questions about employees’ creative potential in fostering sustainability, mediated through self-efficacy and innovation. SPSS data analysis software was utilized for statistical analysis when processing the data. Regression is employed to test hypotheses. Research shows that talented employees have essential skills in the workplace. The results also reveal that self-efficacy and innovation mediate the relationship between employee creative potential and sustainability, providing significant insights into organizational behavior and sustainability. This study not only expands our knowledge on the mediating role of self-efficacy and innovation but also highlights the crucial role of policymakers in enhancing employees' creativity and sustainability through personal effectiveness and innovation. It underscores the urgent need for supportive policies in this area, urging immediate action.

The Scenario Quality Assessment Method: A New Technique for Verifying the Quality of Scenarios

ABSTRACTIn a modern world faced by increasing uncertainty and crises, the importance of scenarios to inform the strategic decision‐making processes of governments and corporations has become paramount. This necessitates that those scenarios are rigorous and of high quality. A challenge is that research articulating how to classify and ensure the quality of a scenario is not prolific. This paper addresses this challenge by developing a framework of criteria for assessing scenario quality based on the futures and foresight literature and then using this to offer a new method for specifically assessing the quality of scenarios in the context of crisis management. The Scenario Quality Assessment Method infuses both the critical thinking and creativity required to develop quality scenarios. The method was empirically verified with scholars and practitioners in the industry to determine inter‐rater reliability before its intended use in the analysis of a data set for a scenario planning research project in the context of crisis management. This paper contributes theoretically to future and foresight research by including the concept of creativity when assessing the quality of scenarios and offers practitioners in crisis management an effective technique to assess the quality of their own scenarios.

Trenule for viola and cimbalom by Igor Iachimciuc: compositional and stylistic particularities

The works of contemporary composer Igor Iachimciuc are distinguished by original approaches that contribute significantly to enriching the national cultural landscape, incorporating strong influences of folklore. His works represent a fusion of the fundamental layers of musical culture: folklore, European professional tradition and mass musical culture. His vision focuses on the concept of cohesion within the contemporary musical sphere and on the exploration of seemingly opposing components such as folklore and traditional jazz, modern compositional techniques and pop music. The work Trenule for viola and cimbalom is subtitled Improvisation on a Romanian folk song, in this case, it is about the well-known urban song Trenule, mașină mică/ Train, little car. The composer demonstrates a postmodernist approach to the folkloric phenomenon, treating the source also through the prism of a specific folkloric element – improvisation. The instrumental piece is an eloquent example of the fusion of elements specific to folklore and jazz based on improvisation, the component that is here part of the composer’s very way of thinking about music, largely marking both the process of constituting the form and the dramaturgical concept of creation.

Creativity in crisis communication: a systematic review

This systematic review explores the concept of creativity in crisis communication, a widely used but poorly conceptualised phenomenon. It draws on empirical research and case studies to highlight the diversity of creative approaches during major crises such as natural disasters, health crises, or conflicts. The focus is particularly on situations where these crises are protracted, and creativity is required to deal with the “fog of warning” caused by repeated alerts. It is also important to exercise creativity in order to control the meaning of information and combat the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories. Creativity in crisis communication during major crises is described as the dynamic generation of novel and contextually relevant strategies using unconventional or metaphorical elements to engage audiences, reshape their understanding, and drive behavioural change for effective crisis resolution and recovery. The study provides a framework for understanding creativity in crisis communication by synthesising existing academic knowledge. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses methodology, 42 articles were analysed and categorised into three areas of communication: meaning making, behaviour framing, and reputation preservation. The framework illustrates the multiple facets of creativity: metaphorical creativity promotes critical reflection; visual representation enhances accessibility; humour and creative solutions engage and motivate diverse audiences; artistic elements, serious games and creative scenarios facilitate behaviour change. This framework underscores the critical role of creativity in crisis contexts, bridging the gap between standard communication and innovative, contextually relevant strategies in crisis communication strategies.
