INNOVATIVE ASPECTS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SMES: EXPERIENCE OF THE EU AND UKRAINE

Innovations and their use in the competitive struggle, both at the level of national economies and at the level of enterprises, are undoubtedly becoming the main driver of development in modern conditions. This goal can only be achieved through a profound technological re-equipment of scientific, technical and productive potential, which requires an intensification of investment activity in the economy. The latter is a necessary condition for ensuring sustainable growth and strengthening the competitive advantages of national economies in global markets through their modernisation and technical reconstruction. That is why, at the present stage, the only way to develop the world economy to meet the global challenges and increase the level of international competitiveness is to create an innovation and investment economy. However, many factors hinder such development in European countries, and certainly in Ukraine. It is particularly difficult to implement innovations in the small and medium-sized business sector. The reasons for this gap include the low interest of the financial sector and large companies in financing small and microenterprises, underdeveloped mechanisms for cross-sectoral capital flows, and weak levers to stimulate the introduction of high-technology, high-cost innovations for small and microenterprises. As a result, innovation does not become a means of enhancing the competitiveness of the economy. The purpose of the article is to summarise theoretical approaches and practical aspects of determining methods and instruments of regulation of economic development of innovations in the sector of small and microbusinesses in Ukraine. The article is also aimed at a comparative analysis of foreign experience of state regulation of modernisation transformations in the economy on an innovative basis and at making proposals for their implementation in Ukraine. This study uses the methodology of interdisciplinary science. The theoretical underpinning is based on the content analysis of research by scholars from different countries, the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and the integration of heterogeneous characteristics into one system. This has allowed certain results to be formulated, substantiated and conclusions to be drawn. In particular, the comparative analysis of the development of innovation in SMEs, the identification of trends in the development of small and microenterprises in Ukraine under martial law, the determination of the role of innovation in the post-war economic recovery of Ukraine, and the consideration of methods of regulating the implementation of innovation in SMEs in the EU. The global paradigm of the European Union's "new innovation perspective" is that by implementing active policies to promote innovation and new knowledge, EU member states are contributing to the fact that regional policy, which used to be redistributive in nature, is increasingly taking on the features of a structural innovation policy. The synergistic effect is achieved by combining the member states' own national innovation strategies and their participation in supranational, pan-European innovation programmes. At the same time, a feature of recent years is that the EU supranational institutions prefer to assist regions not through direct funding, but by motivating the development of their innovation infrastructure as part of the development of innovation policy. The development of innovative activities should become a tool for strengthening cooperation with other countries and Ukraine's entry into the global innovation community. Participation in international innovation programmes, projects and conferences will facilitate the exchange of experience and technologies between countries, as well as attract foreign investors to Ukraine. Cooperation between the state, business and research institutions will be the basis for creating an innovative ecosystem in Ukraine. Efficient use of national resources and potential, attraction of talented professionals and start-ups, which will contribute to economic development and improve living standards, will ensure the creation of a favourable environment for innovation activities of small and microbusinesses.

PLANTdataHUB: a collaborative platform for continuous FAIR data sharing in plant research.

In modern reproducible, hypothesis-driven plant research, scientists are increasingly relying on research data management (RDM) services and infrastructures to streamline the processes of collecting, processing, sharing, and archiving research data. FAIR (i.e., findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) research data play a pivotal role in enabling the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and facilitating the comparison and synthesis of a wide range of analytical findings. The PLANTdataHUB offers a solution that realizes RDM of scientific (meta)data as evolving collections of files in a directory - yielding FAIR digital objects called ARCs - with tools that enable scientists to plan, communicate, collaborate, publish, and reuse data on the same platform while gaining continuous quality control insights. The centralized platform is scalable from personal use to global communities and provides advanced federation capabilities for institutions that prefer to host their own satellite instances. This approach borrows many concepts from software development and adapts them to fit the challenges of the field of modern plant science undergoing digital transformation. The PLANTdataHUB supports researchers in each stage of a scientific project with adaptable continuous quality control insights, from the early planning phase to data publication. The central live instance of PLANTdataHUB is accessible at (https://git.nfdi4plants.org), and it will continue to evolve as a community-driven and dynamic resource that serves the needs of contemporary plant science.

Expert and non-expert at the same time: knowledge integration processes and dynamics in interdisciplinary teamwork

Contemporary sustainability issues require the integration of diverse knowledge to study and address them holistically. How interdisciplinary knowledge integration arises in teamwork is, however, poorly understood. For instance, studies often focus on either individual or team processes, rather than studying their interplay and thereby contributing to understanding knowledge integration in an integral manner. Therefore, in this study we aimed to understand how knowledge integration processes are shaped by interactions in interdisciplinary teamwork. We present insights from an ethnographic case study of interdisciplinary teamwork among eight master’s students. In this student team, we observed two dynamics that impeded knowledge integration: (1) conformative dynamic manifested as avoiding and ignoring differences, and (2) performative dynamic as avoiding and ignoring not-knowing. Based on earlier work, we expected that contributing one’s own and engaging with each other’s knowledge would ensure knowledge integration. However, the dynamics exposed that it did not only depend on whether knowledge was contributed and engaged with, but also which knowledge was exchanged and manipulated in the teamwork. We coin the concept ‘relative expertise’, which emphasizes that interdisciplinary teamwork requires that collaborators act simultaneously as expert—in relation to their own contributory expertise—and non-expert—in relation to others’ contributory expertise. The dynamics hampered acting as a relative expert, and we saw that this was shaped by an interplay of students’ individual epistemic competencies, shared assumptions about teamwork, and social context. The insights may help recognize dynamics and underlying factors that impair knowledge integration, and thereby inform targeted interventions to facilitate knowledge integration.

A REVIEW OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE LINKED OPEN DATA ONTOLOGIES AND MODELS

Abstract. In recent years, there has been a trend towards synergies among cultural heritage institutions, such as GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) collaborations in the field of information resource management. These institutions have been actively promoting the construction of digital humanities projects. Such projects primarily target data resource construction and digital humanities services, which are in line with the service functions of GLAM institutions. With the development of networking and digitisation, museums have been making more prominent contributions to knowledge sharing and dissemination.Digital technology has brought about profound changes in the academic research environment. The expansion of traditional research and the emergence of new questions in the digital environment have promoted novel perspectives, thinking, and methods. With the increase in digitisation of cultural heritage, the scale of data has grown rapidly, and the types of data available have been continuously enriched, from knowledge aggregation to knowledge organization and even knowledge transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the tools of digital humanities, which constitute an important means of knowledge production, and to work with traditional GLAM institutions to promote digital thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge integration methods. At the technical level, methods such as knowledge graphs and ontologies are used to construct a multi-layered and systematic knowledge system. This paper presents a review focused on three cultural heritage models, CIDOC CRM, Europeana and the Sampo Model, and reflects on three aspects of the current models: technical framework construction, digital resources, and service systems.

Vascularized organ bioprinting: From strategy to paradigm

Over the past two decades, 3D bioprinting has become a popular research topic worldwide, as it is the most promising approach for manufacturing vascularized organs in vitro. However, transitioning from bioprinting of simple tissue models to real biomedical applications is still a challenge due to incomplete interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge and imperfect multi-technology integration. This review examines the goals of vasculature manufacturing and proposes new strategic objectives in three stages. We then outline a bidirectional manufacturing strategy consisting of top-down reconstruction (bioprinting) and bottom-up regeneration (cellular behaviour). We also provide an in-depth analysis of the four aspects of design, ink, printing and culture. Furthermore, we present the 'construction-comprehension cycle' research paradigm and the 'math-model-based batch insights generator' research paradigm for the future, which may have the potential to revolutionize the biomedical field.

Designing AI Using a Human-Centered Approach: Explainability and Accuracy Toward Trustworthiness

One of the major criticisms of Artificial Intelligence is its lack of explainability. A claim is made by many critics that without knowing how an AI may derive a result or come to a given conclusion, it is impossible to trust in its outcomes. This problem is especially concerning when AI-based systems and applications fail to perform their tasks successfully. In this Special Issue Editorial, we focus on two main areas, explainable AI (XAI) and accuracy, and how both dimensions are critical to building trustworthy systems. We review prominent XAI design themes, leading to a reframing of the design and development effort that highlights the significance of the human, thereby demonstrating the importance of human-centered AI (HCAI). The HCAI approach advocates for a range of deliberate design-related decisions, such as those pertaining to multi-stakeholder engagement and the dissolving of disciplinary boundaries. This enables the consideration and integration of deep interdisciplinary knowledge, as evidenced in our example of social cognitive approaches to AI design. This Editorial then presents a discussion on ways forward, underscoring the value of a balanced approach to assessing the opportunities, risks and responsibilities associated with AI design. We conclude by presenting papers in the Special Issue and their contribution, pointing to future research endeavors.

Integrating Innovation and Entrepreneurship into Medical Education: A Framework for Reform

This research paper delves into the subject of innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of medical education in China. It reviews relevant literature on education reform on medical innovation and entrepreneurship and identifies the challenges that higher medical education in China needs to address. These challenges include the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, the need for in-depth integration of professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education, the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education, and the lack of an innovation and entrepreneurship education management system. Additionally, the paper explores the current state of innovation and entrepreneurship education in the United States and highlights the importance of a teaching goal in medical innovation and entrepreneurship education. The study suggests that the United States' approach emphasizes participation rather than the result, which China can learn from. Furthermore, the paper analyzes three aspects: the lack of a system, the insufficient combination of professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education, and the teaching management concept. The study proposes countermeasures to improve the construction of innovation and entrepreneurship integration systems, deepen the reform of medical courses, and innovate medical management mechanisms. The proposed strategies aim to provide references for the innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese medical colleges and universities based on the new medical science. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights and recommendations for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese medical education.

Роль самостійної роботи студентів у підготовці майбутніх висококваліфікованих спеціалістів

The concept of higher medical education is an integrated approach to the formation of a harmoniously and comprehensively developed personality of a specialist. The training of modern specialists should be at such a level that tomorrow they will confidently and on equal terms compete professionally not only in Ukraine but also abroad, be able to creatively and quickly solve non-standard production, scientific, educational tasks with the best possible result. Today, independent work of students is an obligatory part of the educational process, the importance of which is constantly growing in the conditions of the credit-modular system of education and is considered as one of the active forms and methods of teaching. During the educational process in higher medical institutions, various types of independent work of students are used, such as individual preparation for practical, seminar classes and final module controls, preparation for the defense of case histories, participation in the work of the student scientific circle, speeches and participation in scientific and practical conferences, forums, master classes, practically oriented competitions, etc. Information about the content, amount of time allocated, evaluation of students’ independent work is given in the curriculum and syllabus of the discipline and aims to expand and deepen knowledge and skills in this course, help to form clinical thinking, creative imagination and modeling of doctor’s tactics in a specific clinical situation, improve the assimilation of interdisciplinary integration of knowledge and skills, teaches to work with literary sources - to analyze, generalize, compare, thereby activating the creative component. Purpose - to analyze the forms of organization and to determine ways to improve the independent work of students as a component in the system of the educational process during the study at a medical university. Results and conclusions. Therefore, independent work of students is a mandatory, important form of the educational process, which allows to significantly increase the effectiveness of the training of a future specialist, helps to form the student’s skills of clinical thinking, independence and creative imagination. It provides an opportunity for the student to acquire new knowledge at the same time, to master the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization of information and to practically improve them.

Artificial Intelligence‐Assisted Repair System for Structural and Electrical Restoration Using 3D Printing

The characteristic of material accumulation makes 3D printing competitive in remanufacturing and repairing. However, conventional repair methods require additional equipment and manual intervention to sequentially finish complicated processes such as global scanning and reverse modeling, which results in efficiency reduction and usage restriction. To address the existing shortcomings, an automatic repair system with artificial intelligence (AI) assistance is developed, which includes a semantic segmentation module, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) module, and composite printing device. The damaged part features are extracted by semantic segmentation from the captured real‐time images to establish DRL maps, where the print motion is simulated and transmitted to the printer. The results indicate that the applied bilateral segmentation network (BiSeNetV2) is 59.03% and 29.90% faster than pyramid scene parsing network (PSPNet) and DeepLabV3+ architecture with satisfying accuracy. The established DRL model based on actual printing achieves the optimization of agent learning speed and print quality. The automatic system improves the repair efficiency by 294% compared to the conventional methods, and enables both structural and electrical repair through high‐temperature polymer–metal printing. This intelligent system enables industrial robots to independently handle unexpected tasks in complex and changeable environments through interdisciplinary knowledge integration of advanced manufacturing and AI.

“It’s something that I do every day.” Exploring interdisciplinarity and stakeholder engagement in tsunami science

Tsunamis are natural hazards that can have devastating societal impacts. While tsunamis cannot be prevented, their risk to coastal communities can be mitigated through targeted measures such as early warning, evacuation training or tsunami-aware spatial planning. The particularities of tsunamis–being rare events with high impact and a short yet operable time span for warning–structure the associated research approaches and sociotechnical innovations. In this paper, we explore interdisciplinary knowledge integration and stakeholder engagement in tsunami science based on interviews with researchers from various tsunami-related fields. We find that the interviewees’ academic identities are typically grounded in a disciplinary core, out of which they subsequently cross boundaries. For all respondents, however, it is a matter of course that becoming and being a member of the tsunami community includes the need to communicate across boundaries. Our results show that the idea of early warning unites the tsunami field. Notably, however, it is not the material technology but the political goal of effective early warning that holds an integrative function across disciplines. Furthermore, we find modelling to be seen as the “backbone of everything” tsunami-related, which in combination with visualisation techniques such as a global map of tsunami risks also serves to integrate stakeholders beyond the tsunami research community. Interviewees mention the interaction between scientists and engineers as the exemplary interdisciplinary collaboration in tsunami science. There were fewer examples of collaborations with social scientists, rendering this a demand rather than a lived reality in current tsunami science. Despite the widely shared view that stakeholder engagement is an important element of tsunami science, respondents emphasise the associated challenges and indicate that this practice is not yet sufficiently institutionalised.

Embracing humanities in computer science: An autoethnography

Humanities enrolment in higher educational institutions across the globe has been falling considerably in favour of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers, like Computer Science. While students eagerly pursue these disciplines, in doing so, they have simultaneously lost the possible grounding Humanities can provide in contextualising their knowledge. The overall purpose of this study is to use my unique perspective as a student of both disciplines to show the value Humanities can bring to the field of Computer Science and make a case for the need of an interdisciplinary approach for these seemingly unrelated disciplines. Because the study uses my experience as the basis for making this case, the research methodology used was an Autoethnography. The data was sourced from my own recorded self-reflective narratives and supported with my assignment feedback forms, assignments and excavation log. The findings were coded and organised by emergent themes which were then analysed using the interdisciplinary knowledge integration theory. The results show that while Humanities and Computer Science have a polarised approach to methodologies and perspectives that makes it particularly challenging for the integration of knowledge, it does provide significant competencies that can transfer and transform the learning experience and skills of students. These include communication, critical thinking, adaptability, and self-learning skills. It is for these uncovered benefits to students’ development that institutions should consider an interdisciplinary approach to higher education.Keywords: interdisciplinary; higher education; humanities; computer science; Trinidad and TobagoPart of the special issue Autoethnography in online doctoral education <https://doi.org/10.21428/8c225f6e.9415e58d>

A Review on the Advanced Maintenance Approach for Achieving the Zero-Defect Manufacturing System

Recently, a revolutionary change is taking place in manufacturing and production systems thanks to the development of various advanced technologies such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), CPPS (Cyber-Physical Production System), digital twins, big data analytics, AI (Artificial Intelligence), and so on. One of the change is that manufacturing and production systems are now trying to transform into the ZDM (Zero-Defect Manufacturing) system. For a manufacturing company, quality takes precedence over any other competitive factors, so the implementation of a ZDM system is very important. For the implementation of ZDM, many fundamental technologies are required. Among them, the advanced maintenance approach for the facilities/equipment of the manufacturing and production system is much more important because it could support the zero-defect and high-efficiency operation of manufacturing and production systems. The advanced maintenance approach, which is often called by various terms such as predictive maintenance, condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+), and PHM (Prognostics and Health Management), requires various interdisciplinary knowledge and systematic integration. In this study, we will review previous works mainly focusing on advanced maintenance subject among ZDM research works, and briefly discuss the challenging issues for applying PHM technologies to the ZDM.

HISTORY OF THE ISSUE OF FORMATION INTERNATIONAL ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY

The historical milestones of the development of international anatomical terminology are considered.The works in which already in the Homeric epoch it is possible to find a number of anatomical and nosological names which were used by Hippocrates and which are used in modern medical science are analyzed. The key role of bright historical figures who have made a huge invaluable contribution to the development, formation and formation of the international anatomical nomenclature is highlighted.In turn, such a long-awaited list of Latin, Ukrainian and English equivalents of anatomical terms in the latest Latin-English and Ukrainian anatomical nomenclature should contribute to the optimal integration of modern Ukrainian medicine into a single global scientific and educational space. The need to involve a number of measures to promote the systematic updating of terminological knowledge, interdisciplinary integration of knowledge gained in Latin and morphological departments, improving the anatomical and clinical terminological literacy of not only students but also health professionals.

Interdisciplinary knowledge integration as a unique knowledge source for technology development and the role of funding allocation

This study examines the relationship between interdisciplinarity in knowledge integration (interdisciplinarity) for research and the extent to which the research serves as a unique knowledge input for technology development. To understand the role of the funding allocation therein, we additionally examine how research funding allocation shapes this relationship. To this end, we develop a simple bibliometric method to measure the uniqueness of research impact on technology development by using paper-patent citation network information. Our analysis of the metadata of over 0.7 million journal papers published in 2010 shows that the interdisciplinarity of research is positively associated with uniqueness in its contribution to technology development only when the research has funding support. We also find that interdisciplinarity in knowledge integration is positively associated with the non-unique impact of research on technology development regardless of funding support. Our findings suggest that interdisciplinary research may serve as a unique knowledge source for technology development, while the funding allocation process functions as an institutional instrument for selectively supporting interdisciplinary research that could have a unique technology impact. We discuss implications for science policymakers, research evaluators, and technology firms.

Artistic and Figurative Thinking in the Structure of Educational Activity of Future Masters in Music Art

The purpose of the article is to reveal the neuropedagogical aspects of artistic and figurative thinking of future masters of music in the structure of their educational activities. The neuropedagogical approach as a scientific direction is still in its infancy and needs significant support in the educational environment. The degree of demand for continuous education of music specialists to make the right methodological decisions in their professional activities is emphasized. Artistic thinking in the system of training masters in music is a priority and is one of the most important tasks of their educational process at this scientific level. But the search for innovative methods of artistic and figurative perception of musicians is often complicated by an empirical approach to solving this problem.&#x0D; The specifics of neuropedagogical training for the development of artistic and figurative thinking of higher education students, which is associated with the creative interaction of teacher and student is analyzed. The regularities of training future musicians which are due to the need to solve problems for the development of creative musical and professional thinking  are revealed. The importance of interdisciplinary integration of humanitarian, music-theoretical and special knowledge is emphasized, which is the basis for the formation of a high level of professionalism of future masters in music. The interaction of intellectual, auditory and emotional components in the process of development of artistic and figurative thinking of the future musician is substantiated.

STRUCTURAL-COMPONENT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROSPECTIVE TEACHER’S READINESS TO FOSTER THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ATTITUDE OF JUNIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS

The aim of the paper is to present science-based approaches to structuring entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activity, entrepreneurial competence of future experts, given which the structural components of the future teacher’s readiness to promote entrepreneurial spirit in junior school students are determined. To achieve the objective, the following research methods were used in the paper: analysis of the academic literature with regard to the issue of concern; interpretation and analytical method, synthesis, systematization, generalization. The focus is on scholarly studies that present evidence-based approaches to structuring entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial competence of the experts to-be, and entrepreneurship readiness, which are significant through the lens of the discussed issue. It is mentioned in the article that preparation of future teacher to be ready to foster the entrepreneurial attitude of junior school students is a systematic process during which the students acquire theoretical foundations of professional training based on interdisciplinary integration of knowledge, practical skills, develop ways of thinking, entrepreneurial qualities, moral and ethical values, necessary for teacher’s professional activities regarding the development of entrepreneurial attitude of junior school students. When structuring the concept of «future teacher’s readiness to foster the entrepreneurial attitude of junior school students» we consider it as a strong personal and professional feature, founded on the conscious entrepreneurial activity of students and the result of training. From this perspective, we highlight and describe the following components of the prospective teacher’s readiness to promote entrepreneurial spirit in junior school students in terms of analysis of the academic and educational literature: goal-incentive, contentknowledge, activity-reflexive. The selected components will provide the basis for defining the criteria of future teacher’s readiness to foster the entrepreneurial attitude of junior school students, conducting monitoring research on the issue under consideration.

Enhancing customer satisfaction through open innovation communities: A comparison of knowledge management approaches

Organizational learning integrates core specialized tacit resources and knowledge to facilitate development of strategic interdisciplinary knowledge development, integration, management and innovation. To promote open innovation within a gig economy, we address three problems: first, to identify which knowledge management view may contribute more in deriving, creating and increasing value and customer satisfaction; second, to educate users to learn, improve, and transfer the value to his/her designs via the user innovation community’s (UIC) feedback; third, from the reviews and findings, to identify implications/factors that we should pay more attention to when synergizing strategies and technology amidst co-evolving markets. Scoping our research to individual and additive/incremental Resource-based view (RBV-KM), Knowledge-based view (KBV-KM), and Mixed-based view (MBV-KM) knowledge management approaches, the UIC are framed (positioned) as novice product designers-customers learning via HerAll, a Malaysian B2C niche card design e-commerce website. Hypothetically, RBV-KM may evidence more participation; KBV-KM more meaningful knowledge-sharing, moderated by the leader’s design and leadership skills; MBV-KM better design outcomes, knowledge sharing and the highest designer-customer satisfaction. Findings indicate 75.85% overall average customer satisfaction for RBV-KM, 71.40% KBV-KM and 81.35% MBV-KM. These correspond with the Diamond model and Customer Relationship Models. With perceived value in the midst of inter-connected, co-evolving business models as motivator, customer satisfaction is influenced most by familiarity with the learning environment and tasks, followed by the type and quality of leadership, feedback/comments from the UIC, which influence the development of community and identity, ability, and cultural fit. Findings on the type and timing of rewards and (intelligent) guidance concur with prior literature.
