Copyright, platforms and NFT digital collections: exploring the proper regulatory mode in China

Abstract Non-fungible token (NFT) technology heralds a transformative era for the creative industry, offering unprecedented advantages to individual creators. For a robust and sustainable NFT trading ecosystem, it is imperative to ensure rigorous copyright protection. This article posits that an NFTized digital copyrighted work should be perceived as a virtual property, with its intrinsic value residing in the token itself. Given that NFT transactions implicate the exclusive rights of copyright holders, they ought to be under the purview of these rights holders. Yet, it is crucial to recognize that NFTs, in isolation, are not a panacea for addressing copyright infringements related to them. Given the pivotal role of NFT platforms in facilitating these transactions, this article advocates for a holistic regulatory framework that governs the conduct of these platforms, thereby fostering the sustainable growth of the NFT ecosystem in China.

Creativity and Attention Control: An Individual Difference Approach

ABSTRACT Prior work suggests that attention is related to creativity, in large part because creative individuals are more likely to attend to and remember irrelevant auditory information. However, the specific role of attention in those studies is unclear because the results may reflect memory processes rather than attention. In two experiments, we used a dichotic listening task to experimentally manipulate attention control (focused, divided) without memory demands. Analyses tested whether individual differences in dichotic listening performance covaried with creative achievement and creative performance on lab-based tests. Results from both studies showed that misperceptions in the dichotic listening tasks were negatively related to creative performance, with mixed results for their relations to creative achievement. There was also a negative relationship between the ability to focus attention and divergent thinking. We speculate that misperceptions may index periods of attentional lapses, which are also likely to limit creativity. Additionally, focused attention may hinder divergent thinking. Taken together, the findings suggest that individual differences in attention control contribute to performance on lab-based creativity tests.

Early childhood preservice teachers’ beliefs of creativity, creative individuals and creative environment: Perspectives from China

This qualitative study employs a phenomenological approach to comprehensively investigate the beliefs of early childhood preservice teachers (PTs) in China regarding creativity, creative individuals (children and teachers), and the creative learning environment. Data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 13 PTs. The findings suggest PTs exhibit limited understanding regarding the concept of creativity, which consequently affects their beliefs of creative individuals. PTs perceive both general personal characteristics and specific capacities relevant to the ECE context. However, motivation-related traits were not identified by PTs. Three themes concerning PTs’ beliefs about the creative environment emerged. PTs demonstrate positive attitudes toward fostering creativity in the ECE context, and they perceive multiple strategies of creative pedagogy. However, a gap exists between PTs’ attitudes valuing creativity and their actual pedagogical practice. The reasons contributing to the gap were discussed in the study. The findings have important implications for early childhood teacher education programs.

Категорія стилю (ідіостилю) як літературознавче явище

The article summarises modern approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the concepts of «style» and «individual style of a writer». The universality and interdisciplinary nature of the definition of «style» lies in the fact that the term is used by linguistics, cultural studies, aesthetics, art studies and literary studies. And this gives rise to a certain difficulty in understanding of the term, sometimes leading to unwanted synonymy and blurring of conceptual boundaries. Various interpretations of this concept can be observed in literary studies. For example, scientists distinguish the style of a time and the style of a tendency and direction; the writer’s style and the style of a certain period of his (or her) creativity; the style of a work and the style of its individual element. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that scientists have not yet developed common approaches to the study of this category. Therefore, the most widespread thing in literary studies is the understanding of style as an individual creative manner, the «creative face» of a particular writer. The concept of «style» is widely used to comprehend the trends of the literary process, to clarify the national specificity of literatures and the creative individuality of authors. The article highlights the essence of the concept of «individual style of a writer», which is based on the works of famous literary critics. It is established that the problem of idiostyle is one of the most relevant in literary studies when researching a literary text. The correlation between general style and idiostyle is analysed. It is determined that they are generally interrelated and to a certain extent determine each other. Often, style is also considered as a display of the essence of many individual styles, united by common features. Therefore, individual style can be considered as a space of interaction between the author and the recipient, each of whom is looking for the most optimal means of expression and cognition. The style carriers and stylistic dominants laid down by the writer help the reader to «build» the «author’s image». The individual style of a writer is defined as an extremely complex phenomenon, which can be explained by a whole complex of style-forming factors. Among them literary critics distinguish socio-historical and cultural conditions, correlation of biased traditions and special innovation in a particular work of a writer or in hisentire creativity, specific generic and genre features of the work, tone of the narrative, worldview, artist’s talent, freedom of creativity, fictional truth and creative conjecture.

Caregiver Psychological Maltreatment Behaviors Toward Children on TikTok.

We examined TikTok user engagement when parents post videos engaging in psychological maltreatment (PM) behaviors towards their children, using the APSAC-endorsed definition of PM. A new TikTok account was created and seeded with PM behavior videos identified previously; similar videos then appeared on the new account's "For You Page" (an algorithmic feed curated by TikTok). Researchers identified 35 creators who had posted at least one PM behavior video, resulting in their full profile being coded (N = 2684 videos) for five engagement metrics, presence of children, and presence of PM behavior. Non-parametric paired comparisons (Mann-Whitney tests) were made within individual creators for: (1) engagement metrics before and after the first PM behavior video, (2) engagement metrics for PM behavior videos versus non-PM videos, (3) engagement metrics for child videos versus non-child videos, and (4) proportion of videos containing children before and after the first PM video. All but one analysis was significant (effect sizes from .28 to .59, average r = .46). We discuss directions for future research, as well as how child welfare and content moderation policy can be updated to change social norms around sharenting.

Creative and Happy Individuals Concerned about Climate Change: Evidence Based on the 10th Round of the European Social Survey in 22 Countries

Previous studies, to some extent, link creativity, well-being, and environmental concerns. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the associations between self-reported creativity, psychological well-being, and climate change concerns. This study was based on data derived from the European Social Survey’s 10th round and applied several items from sections H, B, and C. The findings revealed that creativity was positively linked to climate change concerns and psychological well-being, while psychological well-being was, to some extent, negatively related to climate change concerns. The SEM model demonstrated an acceptable fit, χ2 = 1627.862; Df = 7; CFI = 0.959; TLI = 0.876; NFI = 0.958; RMSEA = 0.078 [0.075–0.082]. Additionally, the findings indicated that more creative and happy individuals were also more concerned about climate change; they were more prone to believe that climate change is caused by human activity, they felt a higher personal responsibility to reduce climate change, and they were significantly more worried about climate change. This implies that as creative and happy individuals have a heightened sense of responsibility for climate change, these individuals may indeed play a key role in promoting climate change awareness and actions, including communication on sustainability, sustainability-related projects, and other activities; thus, tailored campaigns could be developed within the frames of citizen science. The findings also suggest implications for policy development: policymakers could consider the perspectives of creative and happy individuals when crafting climate policies, potentially leading to more effective and widely accepted solutions.

New structurical model of economics of higher education: European context

This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of European higher education development, driven by the increased dynamics of globalization processes, the implementation of digital learning technologies, and the convergence of curricula and programs. It emphasizes the importance of differentiation, cooperation, and conglomerations in many higher education disciplines, which have become more accessible and financially lucrative. The key characteristics of the European educational environment in the early 21st century are identified as high academic mobility, creativity in the educational process, active population aging, feminization of teaching, behavioral relationships between teachers and students, model diversity, and the significant (sometimes unjustified) influence of university rankings on the commercialization of educational and scientific products. The article substantiates the peculiarities of modernizing the contemporary European model of higher education, including the increasing demand for creative individuals, innovative diffusion, the expansion of specific educational services, the creation of cybernetic networks, and the formation of polystructural competence production platforms. It argues for the existence of new hybrid relationships in higher education (westernization, digitalization, synchronization, autonomization, heterogenization), collectively shaping a new structural model of European higher education. The role of EU institutions in managing the development processes of higher education institutions is underscored.

Importance of Blogging in Language Teaching

It is widely acknowledged that teachers should support student autonomy and encourage learners to develop foreign language skills outside the classroom to keep learners motivated enough to show the possibility of using languages in the immediate future outside class. Incorporation of technology in classrooms is considered one of the effective tools that brings a lot of opportunities and fun in language teaching and learning. However, applying technology in language teaching shouldn’t be only fun. Following paper introduces how blogging can be used as an instructional tool for language learning and teaching considering several important basic benefits such as effects on building intercultural competence, enhancing student interaction and communication , improving basic language skills, boosting learner motivation and language authenticity, as effective assessment technique and a great learner autonomy builder. Wrede (2003) states that if teachers want students to become autonomous, creative, and cooperative individuals, educational institutions must actually allow them to practice exactly these skills by incorporating blogging into curriculum since it fosters dynamic motivation for learning through authentic practice of language learning.

MODEL OF PERSONALITY TRAITS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS TEACHERS

Modern trends in the development of education, increased professional requirements towards the personality of the teacher have necessitated forming the teacher's creative individuality and unlimited realization of his or her creative skills. Dealing successfully with the demands depends not only on the professionalism of the teacher but on his or her personality, in particular, on the teacher’s personal qualities.The aim of the research provided in this article was to develop a hypothetical model of professionally valued personality traits of the physical education and sports teacher of a general education institution and its experimental verification on the Georgian population. The research has shown that there is a certain difference between the hypothetical model and the personality traits obtained through the research. The experimental study conducted on the Georgian population has revealed seven key personality traits characteristic of the physical education and sports teacher: high level of rule-consciousness, high level of self-control, relaxed, socially boldness, emotional stability, and sensitivity. It has also been found that only a small number of teachers (38.8%) are open to change. A large proportion of the participants are characterized by low (28.2%) and average (50.4%) level of creativity.
