Artificial Intelligence—A Puzzle for Super-skilled Future Obstetricians and ART Specialists

Педагогічні умови формування емоційного інтелекту майбутнього магістра музичного мистецтва у процесі інструментальної підготовки

Тhe article is devoted to determining the peculiarities of the process of forming the emotional intelligence in a future master of musical art in the process of instrumental training. In a world emotional intelligence is heralded as a cornerstone of personal and professional success. Historically, EQ assessments have been the realm of human-to-human interaction, relying on nuanced perceptions and experiences to judge one’s ability to manage emotions, both their own and others’. The most important type of soft skills is emotional intelligence since it constitutes a pivotal part of our lives. In this way three pedagogical conditions are considered and substantiated, which are the basis of the strategy of forming emotional intelligence in a future musical art master. The first pedagogical condition is the activation of students; polymotivation to emotional interaction in the process of instrumental training. The second pedagogical condition is the creating an artistic communicative and reflective environment as a means of conscious regulation of the emotional field in the process of instrumental training of future musical art masters. The third pedagogical condition is the introduction of training technologies for teachers and students. Presented the ways of forming emotional intelligence in the professional preparation of future musical art master’s, namely: activation of future master’s motivation for emotional interaction in the process of professional preparation; creation of appropriate artistic educational environment; active creative process of development in the future musical art master’s emotional intelligence through introduction of training technologies, etc.

The Effectiveness of using Artificial Intelligence for Building Professional Competencies of Future Specialists in Art Majors in Higher Education Institutions

The research aims to study the impact of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in higher education institutions (HEIs) on building professional competencies of future art specialists. The research employed quantitative and qualitative methods (in particular, modeling methods, pedagogical experiments, and survey of respondents to assess the impact of AI tools on building professional competencies). The author’s definition of the concept of “professional competencies of art specialists” is proposed. Targeted tools were selected and used for building components of professional competencies. For example, VocalAnalysis AI tools were used to form the perceptual component — for students majoring in Musical Art; Art Vision AI — for students majoring in Fine Arts; ChoreoVision AI — for students majoring in Choreography. The results of the study show that students rated their level of ability to use AI as higher than medium. The questionnaire designed to study the impact of the use of AI on building professional competencies of future specialists in art majors, demonstrated a high level of agreement between the assessment of the impact of the use of AI tools on the formation of various components of professional competencies. Further research can be aimed at the development and testing of an algorithm for objective expert evaluation of specific AI tools for the implementation of art projects by students of the specified art majors.

Art therapy as a bridge to expand burn care beyond surgery: Providers’ perspectives in an inpatient burn center

Burn injuries necessitate resource-intensive multidisciplinary care and psychosocial support. Incorporating art therapy in burn centers could enhance patient and provider care. However, research on the impact and reception of art therapy within the context of burn care is scarce. A doctoral dissertation study introduced art therapy intervention for burn patients. As part of this research, we conducted a qualitative study to explore health-care providers’ experiences, with a focus on their perspectives on burn-care and art therapy to inform research and clinical practice. Using thematic analysis in qualitative research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 health-care providers from varied disciplines and identified the following three themes: a) Burn care is a “multifaceted problem” as well as an impact-driven, rewarding experience for providers; b) The visuality of art therapy coupled with physical activity is perceived as a necessary “emotional outlet” for burn patients; and c) Future art therapy research/practice goals are linked to complex patient presentations, specific multidisciplinary team challenges, and the critical care environment. Positive perceptions reinforced that art therapy could contribute to inpatient care as part of multidisciplinary burn teams. More research is needed to address the identified psychosocial, functional, and interprofessional needs of patients and providers.

Interactive art: fueling creative development

The aim of the research is to analyse the impact of interactive art projects on the development of creative abilities of future artists and musicians. The research employed testing methods (Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT), Creative Skills Assessment, Divergent Thinking Test). The reliability of the methods was tested by using Cronbach’s alpha. The results were tested using standard statistical methods, namely chi-square, mean deviation, t-test. The experimental group (EG) demonstrated statistically significant better idea generation (p = 0.04, d = 0.23) and flexibility (p = 0.02, d = 0.43) compared to the control group (CG). The study found a statistically significant difference between the EG and the CG on some measures of creativity and divergent thinking. The EG demonstrated better idea generation and flexibility compared to the CG. The obtained results confirm the research hypothesis and testify to the positive impact of virtual art projects on the students’ creative development. Studies with larger numbers of participants and better control for extraneous factors are needed to definitively confirm and better understand the reasons for these discrepancies.

Psychological Predictors of Attitude toward Integrated Arts Education among Chinese College Students Majoring in the Arts.

This study investigated the psychological factors related to the attitudes of Chinese arts college students toward integrated arts education. It also examined predictive models incorporating psychological variables, demographic profiles, and art education-related characteristics to offer valuable insights for future research and art education practices. The sample comprised 303 Chinese college students majoring in arts and aged 18-22 years. The predictive models were examined using stepwise regression and decision tree analyses. The results indicated positive correlations between attitudes toward integrated arts education and several psychological variables, including extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), hardiness, creativity, self-efficacy, and purpose orientation for personal growth. Neuroticism and the Behavioral Activation System (BAS) were negatively correlated with attitudes toward integrated arts education. Further, extraversion accounted for the greatest variance in attitudes toward integrated arts education. Extraversion, self-efficacy, purpose orientation for personal growth, BIS, and commitment accounted for approximately 38.3% of the variance. The decision tree model, predicting the attitudes of college students majoring in the arts toward integrated arts education, included extraversion, self-efficacy, teaching experience in their major, and academic year. This study contributes to a better understanding of the psychological and educational factors that shape the attitudes of Chinese arts students toward integrated arts education and provides a predictive framework that can inform future research and educational practices.

Micro‐Raman Spectroscopy for the Identification of Drawing Materials Used Throughout the 17th and 20th Centuries

ABSTRACTThe study explores drawing materials from the 17th century to the present using noninvasive techniques like Raman spectroscopy in selected cases supplemented by x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. This publication is an effort to expand knowledge across diverse periods and materials. A collection of six drawings spanning from 1700 to 1899 from the National Museum in Krakow and a 20th‐century birch bark artifact were analyzed. Noninvasive techniques facilitated the systematic analysis of drawing materials, providing insights into diverse substances over centuries. Identified materials include hematite, calcite, graphite, bister, sepia, iron gall ink, and crystal violet dye. Understanding the chemical composition aids conservation and is a reference for future art history and preservation studies.

THEORETICAL MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PERFORMING ARTISTS

Creative industries stimulate the development of a modern innovative economy, which necessitates the quality training of professionals in the field of creative industries – highly qualified, creative, self-motivated , nationally conscious, civically active, and socially responsible. Future performing artists, provided their development of professional, digital, entrepreneurial, and other competencies crucial for the post-war recovery of Ukraine, will be able to make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of society. To ensure a comprehensive vision of the development of entrepreneurial competence among future performing artists, the method of theoretical modeling was applied. Therefore, the article theoretically justifies a model for developing entrepreneurial competence future performing artists in vocational colleges, which consists of four interconnected blocks (perspective and target, theoretical and methodological, content and process, control and result). The result of implementing this model is the justification of conditions necessary for improving the training of future performing artists for entrepreneurship. Future artists should be capable of independently managing their lives and careers, able to enter the labor market as employees or self-employed individuals, and also to establish their own business with a cultural direction. A promising direction of research is the development of a methodology for the development of entrepreneurial competence future performing artists, which includes describing a set of relevant methods, systems of techniques and methods.

전국 교육대학교 실과교육과정 비교 분석

This study aimed to identify an optimal direction for curriculum development by comparatively analyzing the practical arts curriculum at universities of education nationwide. To this end, the study analyzed the curriculum for the class of 2024 at 10 universities, categorizing the curriculum into liberal arts and major courses, with subjects offered and corresponding credits (hours) analyzed. The study found significant differences in practical arts-related subjects offered across the universities. There were almost no required courses offered in general education, no elective subjects in the subject education and practice areas of the major curriculum, and no required subjects in the creative experiential activities. However, in the advanced course area, both required and elective subjects were offered for each practical arts education academic area, with home economics science being the most open. These results suggest a need to increase subject offerings in areas with insufficient or no availability and to ensure their incorporation into future practical arts education courses. For the practical arts curriculum of universities of education, the direction and content of curriculum innovation should reflect changes in the future educational environment. Moreover, efforts should be made to develop a platform to share and utilize information related to the practical arts curriculum.

Understanding how to design an engaging hard martial arts programme to improve quality of life among older people: a preliminary study

Background/Aims Improvements to the quality of life of tai chi practitioners have been demonstrated in the literature; however, less is known about the possible effects on the quality of life of practitioners of harder styles of martial arts in older populations. The aim of this study was to identify what facets of a modified hard martial arts programme motivated participants to attend and therefore guide the design of future programmes. Methods A total of nine community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 75 years (± 7.3 years) who participated in 12 weeks of modified hard martial arts training were asked if they had perceived any changes to their health or quality of life over the participation period. A self-reported survey instrument, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, was used to measure change pre- and post-intervention, and semi-structured interviews were used to explore participants' motivators for participating, perceived benefits and concerns. Results Five themes emerged which were: (1) a general feeling that quality of life had increased; (2) an increase in social interaction; (3) increased physical abilities; (4) the need to preserve a safe training environment; and (5) a sense of loss relating to the study ending. Positive and Negative Affect Schedule scores indicated clinically significant improvement but did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions These themes may have important implications when designing future hard martial arts programmes aimed at attracting older persons who prefer to engage in vigorous exercise. Implications for practice As populations around the world age, engaging older adults in activities that promote fitness and social inclusion becomes increasingly important to maintain health into older age. Providing diverse and non-mainstream niche opportunities to older adults such as this programme will maximise engagement and potentially reduce loneliness and physical morbidity in older adults.

Enhancing the Creative Arts Skill of Generalist Teachers in the Ga East Municipality, Ghana

The objective-based curriculum previously in use was replaced by a standards-based curriculum for the 2019–2020 school year, bringing a fresh approach to the fundamental study of visual arts. However, the current curriculum places greater emphasis on art history and cultural practices, presenting challenges for generalist teachers in the Ga East Municipality who lack significant training or experience in creative arts. This study aimed to explore the impact of different levels of educational leadership on enhancing the teaching skills of generalist teachers in creative arts education. Employing a convergent parallel mixed methods approach, both qualitative and quantitative data were analysed. The study collected a total of 210 questionnaire responses and conducted interviews with 3 participants. The respondents included 185 generalist teachers, 25 headteachers, and 3 municipal education officers, selected through purposive sampling. The study held importance for the practical ability of generalist teachers to navigate complex artistic concepts through adaptability and flexibility in their teaching methods. The findings demonstrated that implementing innovative intervention strategies, such as collaborative projects, professional development training, integration of online resources, and pre-service education into the curriculum, while equipping generalist teachers with enhanced skills, can effectively inspire and engage students. Additionally, it highlighted the necessity for generalist teachers to exhibit passion, enthusiasm, instructional prowess, and imaginative skills to foster creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression in students through creative arts, ultimately influencing the quality of future art education.

A nationwide analysis of upper extremity injuries in martial arts.

Given the rise of martial arts within the fitness and recreational industry, it is important to study trends in injury and note that practicing martial arts comes with a risk of injury, particularly to the upper extremities. By studying consumer product-related injuries to the upper extremities and addressing the current gap in the literature, future martial arts equipment can come with increased safety features, better provide information to healthcare providers treating such injuries, and improve risk mitigation through the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System Database was analyzed to collect data on martial arts equipment-related injuries on the upper extremities within the last 10 years. Over the most recent span of 10 years (2013-2022), there were approximately 78,680 injuries reported to the ED. The majority of them took place in 2013 (12.8%). Men were 2.4 times more likely to get injured than women. Injuries peaked in the age group 10-19-year-olds (33%) and particularly age 12 (4.8%). The upper extremity most commonly affected was the shoulder (29.1%), and the most common diagnosis group was a fracture (29.2%). Most injuries presented to the emergency department were not hospitalized (98.7%). This study highlights the occurrence of upper extremity injuries due to martial arts within the last 10 years and provides new information on the prevalence of such injuries. The results highlight that these injuries are usually non-severe and most commonly affect adolescent males; however, future research should explore performance-based recovery post-injury and long-term pain.
