Feminist visualisation challenges: Methodological innovation, opportunities, and lessons learned

AbstractIn this paper, we detail the process of organising and facilitating a visualisation challenge as part of a larger project centring visual methods. We explore how the visualisation challenge specifically operated to highlight feminist epistemological and methodological principals, and practically, what worked and what didn't. We conclude that visualisation challenges offer exciting potential to jumpstart creative and innovative project development, but if a challenge is to be successful, context matters, and so too do practical and logical considerations. We believe that feminist visualisation challenges offer exciting models to share findings and data, learn from emerging research practices, and build community within and beyond the academy.

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF POST-CONFLICT REGIONS: PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE

The purpose of this article is to research innovative strategies of the European Union, which are aimed at the economic recovery of post-conflict regions, as well as to determine the possibilities of their adaptation for use in Ukraine. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that after the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, etc. oblasts were under the terror of the occupiers, which negatively affected their residents, infrastructure and development of these territories. Their restoration requires the use of new approaches, including the introduction of innovative technologies and tools. The European Union has a lot of experience in this area, and its strategies can be useful for Ukraine in terms of accelerating the reconstruction process and creating favorable conditions for economic growth. The methods of system analysis, comparative analysis and the case study method were used to achieve the research goal. The systematic analysis made it possible to study a set of economic, social and political factors that influence the recovery of post-conflict regions, and the comparative method helped to determine the most effective European strategies that can be adapted to Ukrainian realities. The case study method made it possible to analyze in depth successful examples of the application of innovative strategies in EU countries, such as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is of great importance for the development of recommendations for the implementation of similar approaches in Ukraine. The results of the study show that innovative strategies play an important role in the reconstruction of post-conflict regions. The European Union has developed a number of tools for the reconstruction of destroyed territories, among which investments in digital transformation, development of small and medium-sized businesses, infrastructure restoration and introduction of "green" technologies occupy an important place. In particular, the European Structural and Investment Funds provide financial support to rebuild infrastructure and stimulate economic growth in conflict-affected regions. The «Horizon Europe» program also contributes to the financing of scientific research and the development of technological innovations, which can be extremely useful for the recovery of Ukraine. The practical value of the article lies in the development of a recommendation on the adaptation of innovative EU strategies for the reconstruction of the de-occupied territories of Ukraine. The implementation of these strategies can not only contribute to economic growth, but also help create new jobs, restore infrastructure and increase the investment attractiveness of regions. In addition, the introduction of "green" technologies and digital transformation can contribute to the sustainable development and integration of Ukrainian territories into the European economic system. An important aspect is also the development of human capital through educational programs and vocational retraining, which will ensure long-term growth and social stability in regions devastated by military actions.

Research on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Rectangular Otter Board in Different Work Postures Based on a Dynamic Model

This paper investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of a rectangular otter board in different working postures by using a dynamic model. Dynamic models are mainly based on dynamic mesh techniques. The results of the dynamic model are, compared to the model test, carried out in a flume tank. Furthermore, different rotation speeds of dynamic model were analyzed. The research results are as follows: compared to flume tank results, the maximum error of the dynamic model is 23.77%. Moreover, the influence of rotation speed on the hydrodynamic board is not obvious, and 2 deg./s was chosen as the rotation speed. When the board is tilted slightly (including four working postures), its lift-to-drag ratio first increases slightly and then gradually decreases. Compared with the other three working postures, the pressure center coefficient of the board does not change significantly when it is tilted inward. When studying different working angles (including AOA and tilt angle) of the otter board, the numerical dynamic model significantly reduces repetitive setup work, making simulations more efficient. Its ability to provide continuous curves and a large volume of results offers researchers a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the board’s hydrodynamics. Additionally, the dynamic model supports innovative fishery equipment development by allowing more accurate and continuous numerical simulations.

The aim of this research is to determine the standard recipe, the level of preference for the product, and a business analysis. This study employs a research and development approach, and data collection was conducted through organoleptic testing with five expert panelists. The findings indicate that the appropriate standard recipe consists of the following: choux: 200g eggs, 120g water, 120g UHT milk, 100g margarine, 2g salt, and 150g wheat flour; craquelin: 100g butter, 100g wheat flour, and 90g granulated sugar; kolak pisang cream: 250g whipped cream, 7 pieces of jackfruit bananas, 200g palm sugar, 3 pandan leaves, 1g salt, 100g instant coconut milk, and 200g palm sugar. The business analysis revealed a food cost of Rp. 2,870 per piece, with a selling price of Rp. 8,000. The break-even point is reached by selling 442 pieces. To achieve a target profit of Rp. 3,000,000 per month, the author must sell 1,451 pieces per month. This research hopes to contribute to innovative developments in kolak pisang-based products.

FORMATION OF A SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES OF MOTOR TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES ENGAGED IN FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The article discusses the importance of implementing innovations at road transport enterprises in the context of achieving the region's sustainable development goals. The author emphasizes that road transport enterprises are significant sources of harmful emissions and environmental pollution, so using innovative technologies, such as electric vehicles, hybrid cars, and alternative fuels, is an important tool for reducing the negative environmental impact. In particular, these technologies help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful substances, which is in line with Sustainable Development Goals 7 (access to modern energy), 13 (combating climate change), and 15 (protecting terrestrial ecosystems). In addition, innovations in transport technologies, such as automated driving systems, help to improve road safety and reduce the number of road accidents, which is in line with Goal 3 (good health and well-being). The creation of new jobs and infrastructure development through the construction of electric charging stations and the introduction of intelligent transport systems (smart cities) are also linked to Sustainable Development Goals 9 (sustainable infrastructure) and 11 (sustainable urban development). The author analyses the performance indicators of innovations at motor transport enterprises, taking into account economic, social, and environmental aspects. Particular emphasis is placed on the adaptation of these indicators to the current realities of Ukraine. Using game theory, the article develops a model for the selection of optimal strategies for motor transport enterprises and the region. This model allows us to find the Nash equilibrium - a situation where both parties achieve the optimal result. Enterprises that implement innovations not only improve their own performance indicators, but also contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals of the region. The article also presents two sets of strategies: for the development of logistics activities of a motor transport enterprise and the sustainable development of the region. Both approaches aim to comprehensively improve the region's environmental, economic, and social situation. The conclusions emphasize the importance of implementing innovation development assessment systems as a tool for making strategic decisions and improving the efficiency of logistics operations.

A sociotechnical history of an AI video chatbot: Mapping AI chatbot innovation trajectory for information policy design

This study traces the patent citation network of U.S. Patent 11,107,465 Natural Conversation Storytelling System (Gustman et al, 2021) to map the innovation trajectory of AI Chatbots. This patented AI video chatbot enables the reanimation or digital resurrection of humans in video form. As GLAMs continue to experiment with new technologies such as historical figure chatbots to increase engagement through gamification and empathy, a critical examination of technologies that are designed to appear human-like is warranted as they often skirt credibility, accuracy, and likely insert bias. Furthermore, the rise of generative AI tools and the propensity for producing hallucinations (Christensen et al, 2024) increases ethical issues for the implications on humans and truth (Ranalli, 2022; Stahl and Eke, 2024). Patent citation network analysis is frequently conducted as a competitive strategy for mapping the trajectory of technological development and patented inventions (Érdi et al, 2013; Jain et al, 2020). Drawing from this method, innovation trajectory routes or pathways will be traced through the patent citations to identify the most prominent or critical patents in the AI video chatbot innovation trajectory and analyze which features of technical innovation are retained across its pathway. These methods are frequently utilized to understand changes, patterns, and development in innovation to predict economically viable futures and can be utilized to predict the needs for information policy (Frohmann, 1995) by understanding the implications asymmetrical power on society.

This quantitative study analyzed components related to epistemic meanings, organization, design, and curricular policies, as well as operational conditions for the development of curricular innovations in teacher training. A Likert-scale survey was administered to academics from public universities in Chile that train teachers. The method of analysis used SPSSv28 software, establishing a descriptive and inferential analysis through descriptive statistics of sex, age, gender, and position in the organization. The results show that operational conditions, academic teams, organizational aspects, updating of regulatory frameworks, infrastructure, and curricular policies are essential for the success of curricular innovations. We conclude that curricular innovations at the institutional level require the generation of curricular policies that contemplate the design, monitoring, and evaluation of the curriculum to favor the processes of curriculum review and quality assurance.

Ukrainian Musical Culture: Integrative Component

The purpose of the research to study the current state of Ukrainian musical culture and to prove the importance of its European integration. Research methodology. To achieve the set goals, the following research methods were used: historical - to study the emergence, formation and development of Ukrainian musical culture; systematic method – for a comprehensive study of the musical culture of Ukraine; cultural – which reveals the complexity of socio-cultural processes and phenomena; axiological method – which allowed to investigate the phenomena of mass culture in view of their valuable nature. Scientific novelty the article consists in the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the influence of the European space on the Europeanisation of Ukrainian culture in Ukraine and beyond. Conclusions. The disclosure of the concept of Ukrainian culture showed that the constituent parts of any culture are the people with their customs, beliefs, traditions, as well as innovations in this field, which are closely intertwined with the past heritage. Enrichment of culture is possible only if the experience of past generations is successfully combined with modern manifestations of cultural development. Having considered the main factors and determining factors of national culture, we proved that art itself, in particular music, are determining factors of culture. It is music that is capable of enriching and elevating the spiritual value of the Ukrainian people, because the feeling of beauty aesthetically directs the personality, contributes to value orientations and conscious being. The interpenetration of different cultures and generations leads to the development of innovations, while the use of some of the latest technologies loses the meaning of national culture. It is necessary to enrich the spiritual culture of Ukraine – as an important factor in the development of a modern, educated personality. National musical heritage is the primary source of formation of national consciousness and identity. Integration processes and cultural dialogue are a necessary condition for the development of Ukrainian musical culture, as well as any culture in general. A dialogue that involves active interaction, mutual enrichment of equal cultural subjects, a desire to understand one's own and others' peculiarities and uniqueness.

Decentralization of power in Ukraine is one of the priority reforms of the modern state system, which has caused serious changes in the financial and innovation policy of territorial communities, and also acts as an institutional basis for the economic progress of territories, which requires an in-depth analysis of the financial capacity of territorial units and their innovative activity to identify potential and threats on the way to sustainable development. The purpose of the research is theoretical substantiation and development of management approaches to eliminate financial and innovative challenges of territorial units in conditions of decentralization of power, in particular in Transcarpathian region, as well as providing practical recommendations on strengthening local budgets and promoting innovative progress. The object of the research is the financial self-sufficiency and innovative activity of the territorial units of Ukraine, in particular the Transcarpathian region. The methods of the research used in the research are general scientific methods, in particular, historical, dialectical, comparative, phenomenological, systemic analysis and the method of generalization. The hypothesis of the research is that effective management of financial resources and purposeful development of innovative activity in territorial communities will contribute to stable economic growth in conditions of decentralization. The statement of basic materials. The decentralization of power in Ukraine has led to significant changes in the financial and innovation policy of territorial communities, providing greater autonomy in the management of local budgets and increasing responsibility for their effective use. In Transcarpathian region, the reform process took place more slowly due to the uneven distribution of resources and economic assets, which limited the even development of communities. Despite these difficulties, decentralization has created conditions for strengthening financial independence and stimulating innovation at the local level. During 2021-2022, a general increase in revenues to the budgets of territorial communities was observed, in particular due to the contributions of six districts of Transcarpathia, which confirms the positive impact of the reform on economic development. However, the war in Ukraine negatively affected the financial capacity of communities, creating new challenges that require innovative solutions and adaptation to ensure sustainable economic growth. The originality and practical significance of the research lies in the development of management mechanisms for overcoming financial and innovative challenges of territorial communities, in particular in the Transcarpathian region. Conclusions and perspectives of further research. Decentralization of power is a positive change for the financial and innovative development of territorial communities, as it has managed to significantly increase their self-sufficiency. Further scientific research should focus on a more detailed thorough analysis of the impact of decentralization on the financial capacity of territorial communities of the Transcarpathian region, as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of existing and potential innovative strategies at the local level.

Assessing health technology implementation during academic research and early-stage development: support tools for awareness and guidance: a review.

For successful health technology innovation and implementation it is key to, in an early phase, understand the problem and whether a proposed innovation is the best way to solve the problem. This review performed an initial exploration of published tools that support innovators in academic research and early stage development with awareness and guidance along the end-to-end process of development, evaluation and implementation of health technology innovations. Tools were identified from scientific literature as well as in grey literature by non-systematic searches in public research databases and search engines, and based on expert referral. A total number of 14 tools were included. Tools were classified as either readiness level tool (n = 6), questionnaire/checklist tool (n = 5) or guidance tool (n = 3). A qualitative analysis of the tools identified 5 key domains, 5 innovation phases and 3 implementation principles. All tools were mapped for (partially) addressing the identified domains, phases, and principles. The present review provides awareness of available tools and of important aspects of health technology innovation and implementation (vs. non-technological or non-health related technological innovations). Considerations for tool selection include for example the purpose of use (awareness or guidance) and the type of health technology innovation. Considerations for novel tool development include the specific challenges in academic and early stage development settings, the translation of implementation to early innovation phases, and the importance of multi-disciplinary strategic decision-making. A remaining attention point for future studies is the validation and effectiveness of (self-assessment) tools, especially in the context of support preferences and available support alternatives.

Exploring the impact of digital economy on energy transition: Insights from natural resource rent dynamics

Digital economy is of great significance for countries to achieve energy transformation and sustainable development. However, the limited nature of natural resources has affected the development of digital economy. Although the research on digital economy and energy transition is increasing, few studies systematically link digital economy to energy transition from the perspective of natural resource rent. The FMOLS line regression and threshold nonlinear regression approaches are developed to quantify the linear and non-linear impact of digital economy on energy transition. The results of the linear model demonstrate that digital economy plays a more substantial role in driving energy transition in high-income countries compared to low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, there exists a threshold effect of natural resource rents on the impact of digital economy on energy transition. In cases where natural resource rents are low, the development of digital economy significantly promotes energy transition. Robustness tests, such as shortening the sample period and increasing control variables, confirm the reliability of regression findings. This study contributes by uncovering regional heterogeneity in the relationship between digital economy development and energy transition. Particularly for low- and middle-income countries with low natural resource rents, fostering digital technology’s positive impact on energy transition yields higher marginal benefits. High-income countries should continue investing in innovation and research and development for sustainable energy technologies, while low- and middle-income nations should seek international financial support and investment while maintaining minimal reliance on natural resources to harness the potential advantages offered by digital technologies.
