Implementation Learning Based Project To Creativity Study PPKn Class X SMAN 14 Medan

Writing work scientific aim count influence implementation learning with a project focus to improvement creativity Study student in class X at SMAN 14 Medan. Study This started from background behind problem ie exists problem learning happens in the classroom so that hinder the learning process teaching, As for the problem the is students are less open to input where students are reluctant to change bad habits such as picking on friends, being noisy in class and not paying attention to the teacher, then students are less creative in answering questions, the average answer they say and write is the same answer and monotonous, students are less having a sense of responsibility for what is done and no lack of a sense of independence dominates the classroom, where there are only a few students who are able to complete challenges uniquely and uniquely and the rest only look at and follow the answers in book language, so that the answers given tend to be the same. This problem refers to a lack of student creativity because it shows creativity indicators. The low level of student learning creativity means that students are limited in developing themselves, this is because they do not feel the freedom of expression, so solutions must be immediately provided so that learning can take place optimally. Researchers provide a solution in the form of implementing a project-based learning model so that students are free to provide and express unique and unique ideas with supervision and guidance from the teacher. This research uses a quantitative approach with systematic data presentation regarding the assessment of statistical figures which are presented objectively and straightforwardly so that the results obtained are a real picture in the field and not the result of the researcher's subjectivity. The type of research method used is classroom action research or PTK which is carried out in two cycles, where the first cycle is carried out as a solution to problems that have not been resolved in the first cycle. Each cycle is carried out with two meetings. Classroom action research is carried out through four stages, namely the planning stage, action implementation stage, observation and reflection. The subjects in this research were students of class X IKM 5 SMAN 14 Medan with a total of 38 students in one class unit. The results in this research are with results observation about mark creativity Study student so found that's it giving action on the cycle First Not yet find maximum results and not yet passed the graduation limit namely 75%. So that researcher must carry out study cycle second. There are problems that must be solved repaired and found in implementation cycle First is a teacher lacking provide stimulus, too much explanation fast, and giving problem in missing projects concrete so that give rise to interpretation double by participants educate and collaborate group Still in threshold value 55-70 where mark the Still classified to category low value, problems in cycle I create Work The same in group less than optimal and adequate so that must given improvements to the cycle furthermore. exists significant improvement about implementation learning based project to creativity Study PPKn student Where show the average figure was 83% at meetings First with status from not enough become OK, then on to the meeting both also experienced high increase ie of 88% which shows already in category completeness and visibility Work The same in group experience increase Where the average level obtained initially only by 60% increase to 80-85%. So that can concluded that increase the show there is good influence in application of learning models based project in improvement cooperation participant educate in group.

Enhancing creative divergent thinking in older adults with a semantic retrieval strategy

ABSTRACT Creative divergent thinking involves the generation of unique ideas by pulling from semantic memory stores and exercising cognitive flexibility to shape these memories into something new. Although cognitive abilities decline with age, semantic memory tends to remain intact. This study aims to utilize that memory to investigate the effectiveness of a brief cognitive training to improve creative divergent thinking. Older adults were trained using a semantic retrieval strategy to improve creativity in the Alternate Uses Task (AUT) and the Divergent Association Task (DAT). Participants were tested on the AUT and DAT across three time points: before the strategy was introduced (T0 and T1) and afterward (T2). Results showed that the strategy enhances idea novelty in the AUT; additionally, participants that initially scored lowest on the AUT showed the greatest increase in AUT performance. This finding suggests that older adults can use a semantic retrieval strategy to enhance creative divergent thinking.

Design optimization of phononic-fluidic resonator systems

Phononic-fluidic resonators utilize an acoustic fluid domain as a defect inside a solid metamaterial lattice, which can be used used to precisely measure acoustic properties of liquids. The design goal is to offer ideal boundary conditions for the acoustic resonator by matching defect resonance with phononic band gap. The design space of metamaterial or phononic crystal and fluidic resonator is nearly unlimited, especially when utilizing fully three-dimensional structures. In this work, we explore numerical shape and topology optimization to focus acoustic energy into the fluid domain and maximize the quality factor of the defect resonance. This requires the use of complex multi-frequency objective functions, while taking into account practical limits such as finite size and losses in the fluid and solid domains. Results highlight notable but limited improvements of quality factor with shape optimization starting from an initial design constrained by the maximum deformation possible. On the other hand, topology optimization results offer unique and unexpected ideas, and thus a deeper dive into the design space.

Exploring the Ability of ChatGPT to Act as a Research Aid in Otolaryngology

AbstractRecently artificial intelligence (AI) platforms have developed at a rapid pace. To date no studies have explored AI platform ChatGPT’s ability to serve as an aid in research in the field of otolaryngology. The objective of our study is to evaluate the ability of ChatGPT to generate unique research ideas relevant to Otolaryngology. ChatGPT was tasked to generate novel research project ideas. Seven categories for all otolaryngology subspecialties were created: general otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, rhinology and skull base surgery, pediatrics, head and neck oncology, laryngology, and otology/neurotology. Within each of the subspecialties, ChatGPT was prompted to provide research ideas for two specific research topics in order to gauge ChatGPT’s ability to explore specific domains. Ten prompts were entered for general otolaryngology, and five prompts were entered for each subspecialty and subspecialty topic. ChatGPT was subsequently prompted with the same query to generate systematic review ideas for each category. Ideas were deemed novel if there were no similar systematic reviews retrieved during the literature review on PubMed, Scopus, or Web of Science. Ideas were graded for Clinical Relevance on a scale of 0 to 5, 5 being considered highly relevant/would contribute greatly to patient care and 0 being considered not relevant/not beneficial to patient care. Two reviewers graded each response. Out of 100 systematic review ideas generated by ChatGPT, we found that the artificial intelligence platform was incapable of creating unique systematic review research ideas. However, the ideas that it did generate were largely feasible and clinically relevant. Future studies should investigate the ability of ChatGPT to generate research inquiries with non-systematic review methodologies and in more specific otolaryngology topics.

The Impact Of Female Entrepreneurs On Local Economies

This paper looks into the contribution of female entrepreneurs to regional economies and gives further detail on the contribution they may make to innovation, economic growth, and community development. It proves that women-owned businesses do not give variety to the market but are also significant in generating employment and reinvesting revenues into their local communities, which causes a trickle effect and increases well-being within the general economy. The paper will discuss case studies on successful and famous female entrepreneurs: Mindy Kaling, founder of Kaling International; Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx; Whitney Wolfe Herd, co-founder of Bumble; and Nadia Hussain, owner/creator of Nadia's Kitchen. The study of each woman will show precisely how these women have revolutionized industries and sparked local economies through their unique ideas and the leading force of this entrepreneurship. Success and stories of Sara Blakely with Spanx also prove that one entrepreneurial vision can change an entire industry in the blink of a second by creating a new market segment and thousands of jobs. Also, the creation of Bumble has disrupted not only social networking and dating apps but also created great economic benefits with regard to jobs and technology. Mindy Kaling’s impact through Kaling International showcases the potential for creative entrepreneurs to shape media and entertainment, influencing cultural narratives while supporting local talent and economic growth. Nadia Hussain’s Nadia’s Kitchen underscores the role of culinary entrepreneurship in promoting cultural diversity and community engagement, alongside creating new employment opportunities. The paper also explores the critical success factors contributing to the achievements of these female entrepreneurs, including access to funding, robust support networks, educational opportunities, and favorable policy environments. It highlights how these factors together help bring about entrepreneurship among women, succeeding in their barrier-breaking business enterprises with unique strengths. It therefore points to wider economic and social benefits of female entrepreneurship through in-depth examination of these factors. It goes further to argue for the necessity for continued and increased support for women in business through policies and initiatives that can further make their impact on local economies more solid. This, the research argues, is how investing in female entrepreneurs helps build economic development into more inclusive and resilient communities

An Empirical Study on the Impact of Cyclical and Non-Cyclical Theories on Retailers Productivity, Profitability and Competitiveness

The retail industry is growing faster and because of the absence of a basic understanding of the concept, retailers just randomly open shops only based on area and consumer trends (Abikzar, 2017). However, these cyclic and non-cyclic theories of retailing will act as a base to create effective strategies and retail operations to sustain in the market for the long- -term (Avenal & Caprice, 2005). This study explores the concept of cyclic and non-cyclic theories of retailing about productivity, profitability and competitiveness (Buttle, 2007). It analyses the questions regarding whether the theories are practically possible to implement in the present period or not (Higon, 2010). This study is exploratory and focused on qualitatively exploring more factors of the theories. The secondary data is collected from journals, research papers and articles (Burns, 2022). Pricing strategies differ and effect the lifecycle of the retailer (Lazear, 1984). New trends are effective on the lifecycle of the retailer and their sustainable competitive advantage while the conflict creates new opportunities and unique ideas (Moore, 2022). The dynamic environment can bring loss or profit, and proper tools and strategies are to be used.

Identifying interventions that improve medication safety & rational use of medicines in India.

Background & objectives Medication-related harm is known to be the cause for about 1/10th of hospitalizations. Some estimates from India show that about 90 per cent of medicines consumed are inessential or irrational and contribute towards high out-of-pocket expenditure on health. In this context, the Indian Council of Medical Research in 2022 constituted a National Task Force (NTF) to explore possible solutions that could improve safe and rational use of medicines (SRUMs). The objective of this study was to identify research ideas in the field of SRUM through a survey of relevant stakeholders, and further to prioritize the research ideas using a pre-identified set of criteria. Methods The responses from the identified stakeholders were assessed using the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative method, which is an established research priority-setting methodology. First, the NTF asked for two to six research ideas from relevant Indian and global stakeholders on solutions to improve SRUM. The ideas were checked for duplicates, re-phrased where necessary and classified into various sub-themes. Subsequently, the research ideas were scored by Indian experts with relevant technical expertise using a pre-defined set of five criteria: innovativeness, effectiveness, translational value, answerability and applicability. Each research idea received from a stakeholder was assigned a score under each of the five criteria. The overall research priority score was calculated as a mean of all five criteria-specific scores and converted into a percentage. Results The final output of the prioritization process was a list of research ideas or questions, ranked by their scores. Total 209 unique ideas were received from 190 respondents, which were scored by 27 experts. The top three research topics on medication safety focused on cost-effective strategies for improving antimicrobial stewardship, safe use of poly-pharmacy in geriatric patients and drug take-back policy interventions. Regarding the rational use of medicine, the top three topics included testing mobile application-based antimicrobial stewardship interventions, development of diagnostics for antimicrobial resistance, and behavioural interventions. Interpretation & conclusions Several priority ideas found in this study also align with those of global priority, e.g., safe disposal practices and enhanced pharmacovigilance, rational use of medicines. Patient engagement, which underlines many of the top scoring ideas found in this study, is also inclined with the top research priorities reported by the WHO priority exercise on research into the safe use of medicines. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first such work from a low- and middle- income country on medication safety and rational use of medicines. The findings of this research priority-setting exercise can help to guide research for the development of policy-relevant and novel interventions to improve SRUM in India.

Creative Problem Solving and Communication in Entrepreneurship

This abstract introduces a plug and play set of materials designed for teachers to use as flipped learning tasks in the context of proposal writing and persuasive presentations. These materials were developed based on interview videos featuring young local entrepreneurs, who provided valuable insights and perspectives into the importance of research, creative problem solving, communication and language skills. PolyU students in discipline-specific subjects engage in project-based learning, where they write proposals and deliver persuasive presentations based on their unique understanding and ideas within their respective disciplines. Given the constraints of a tight 13-week schedule, flipped discovery and consolidation materials based on the interview videos have been developed, covering a range of topics related to research, proposal writing, and presentation skills. This submission centers around two plug-and-play sets: Creative Problem Solving and Communication, which can be seamlessly integrated into existing teaching and learning materials as flipped warmer and consolidation activities. Students have expressed in focus group interviews how these materials have made their learning experience more authentic and transferable. By incorporating relatable real-world examples and practical insights, these plug-and-play sets offer teachers a convenient and effective way to introduce engaging warm-up activities into their existing materials. Students are guided to reflect on their research process, creative problem-solving skills and communication skills which are essential for successfully communicating their discipline knowledge and ideas in proposal writing and persuasive presentations.

Exosomal microRNAs in lung cancer: a narrative review.

Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, which can release bioactive macromolecules, such as microRNA (miRNA) to receptor cells. Exosomes can efficiently penetrate various biological barriers which mediate intercellular communication. MiRNA are a class of non-coding RNA that primarily regulate messenger RNA (mRNA) at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNA is abundant in exosomes, which plays an important role by being transported and released through exosomes secreted by lung cancer cells. This review aims to elucidate the roles of exosome-derived miRNAs in lung cancer. We focused on the roles of exosome-derived miRNAs in cancer occurrence and development, including angiogenesis, cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, immune escape, drug resistance, and their clinical value as new diagnostic and prognostic markers for lung cancer. Exosomal miRNA can not only affect angiogenesis of lung cancer, induce epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, and promote reprogramming of tumor microenvironment, but also affect immune regulation and drug resistance transmission and participate in regulating lung cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, understanding the regulatory roles of exosomal miRNAs in tumor invasion and metastasis can provide new ideas for the treatment of lung cancer. Exosomal miRNA can provide some unique ideas on how to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the future. Targeting tumor-specific exosomal miRNA represents a new strategy for clinical treatment of lung cancer, which can provide potential non-invasive biomarkers in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Investigation of the involvement of exosomal miRNAs in the occurrence and progression of tumors can yield new opportunities for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Research on the Legal Relationship between Tax Treatment and Tax Penalty under the Background of Judicial Remedies

The diversity of tax processing decisions and tax penalty decisions, as well as the complexity of taxpayers seeking remedies, have sparked many controversies in practice and theory. There have been cases where some taxpayers file lawsuits against tax penalty decisions in order to revoke tax processing decisions. The courts have different opinions on this matter, and long-term coexistence of different opinions will hinder the unity of tax enforcement standards and the maintenance of tax management order. This article is divided into four parts. Through legal analysis of the problems exposed in the administrative penalty case of "Jushantang" Pharmaceutical Group, unique ideas are provided for the controversial practical issues, effectively promoting the prompt resolution of conflicts and social harmony and stability. The first part of this article introduces the concept and types of judicial remedies, as well as the legal basis of tax treatment and tax penalties. The legal relationship between tax treatment and tax penalties under the background of judicial relief is the research object of this article. After reasonable division, the basic theory of judicial relief is clarified, and the legislative and practical status of tax treatment and tax penalties is explored, providing theoretical support for this study. The second part elaborates on the administrative penalty case of "Jushantang" Pharmaceutical Group, extracts the core issues in the case, and raises the issue of the correlation between tax processing decisions and penalty decisions through this case. The following text will conduct a legal analysis around related administrative acts. The third part provides specific solutions to the core issues extracted from the case, by abolishing the "pre tax payment" rule and constructing an administrative self correction system to solve the problems from a legislative perspective, providing taxpayers with more comprehensive relief channels. At the same time, in judicial practice, the exercise of taxpayer relief rights is guaranteed through the court's judicial recommendations and the Supreme Court's issuance of guiding cases, and the issue of judicial disputes is resolved from the source. The fourth part draws the conclusion of the article. This article believes that due to the complexity of tax dispute relief channels and the diversity of practical situations, it is not advisable for some taxpayers to file a lawsuit against tax penalty decisions to revoke tax processing decisions, which is a way to avoid the "double pre emptive" relief rule. In response to this, the "pre tax payment" rule should be abolished, the threshold for taxpayers to seek legal remedies for tax disputes should be lowered, and the conditions for legal remedies should be relaxed.

A Comprehensive Literature Review of Traditional and Spatial Methods for Black Spot Identification in Road Crash Analysis

The desire to greatly reduce traffic accidents, enhance road safety, and remove black spots from junctions has led to an increased interest in researching the various black spot (BS) identification systems. Conventional and spatial Black spot detection systems are created using a variety of concepts and methodologies; however, as each approach has a unique input and output based on zones, area, size, and other factors, it might not be suitable for every situation. The next step in this research is to conduct a comprehensive literature review of various Black spot detection approaches and the technology tools that support them. The goal is to identify, evaluate, and assess the acceptability, feasibility, accuracy, and appropriateness of various scenarios and parameters. Through accounting for several types of inadvertent correlation between the location of the accident and traffic information, the research discovered multiple methods for Black spot identification, each based on unique ideas and a range of methods and instruments. According to the study, each BS identification method has particular advantages and disadvantages. The principal objectives of this review are to assess the principal methods for evaluating traffic accidents, identify black spots, and explore possible distinctions between traditional and spatial traffic data analysis. To execute the statistical outcomes of occurrences that are examined, both the conventional method and GIS are used. This review paper provides an overview of three basic GIS approaches, explains a traditional method for identifying traffic incidents, and provides some often-used accident analysis tools for traffic safety.

Simulation of gradient period polarization volume gratings for augmented reality displays

Augmented reality (AR) displays are gaining attention as next-generation intelligent display technologies. Diffractive waveguide technologies are progressively becoming the AR display industry's preferred option. Gradient period polarization volume holographic gratings (PVGs), which are considered to have the potential to expand the field of view (FOV) of waveguide display systems due to their wide bandwidth diffraction characteristics, have been proposed as coupling elements for diffraction waveguide systems in recent years. Here, what we believe to be a novel modeling method for gradient period PVGs is proposed by incorporating grating stacking and scattering analysis utilizing rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) theory. The diffraction efficiency and polarization response were extensively explored using this simulation model. In addition, a dual-layer full-color diffractive waveguide imaging simulation using proposed gradient period PVGs is accomplished in Zemax software using a self-compiled dynamic link library (DLL), achieving a 53° diagonal FOV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. This work furthers the development of PVGs by providing unique ideas for the field of view design of AR display.

Teamwork in a Multicultural Context: The Driver of Creativity

This paper deeply explores the complex and dynamic relationship between team creativity and cultural factors and reveals how subtle cultural differences can play a dual role in shaping team creativity. Central to the study is an in-depth analysis of interactions between team members from different cultural backgrounds and how these interactions significantly influence the collective output of the team's creation. This detailed review of the extensive literature illustrates the important impact of team diversity, communication patterns, and leadership style on the profile shaping of team creativity. The center of the discussion is the dual nature of the organizational culture: it has both the potential to stimulate creativity within the team and the potential to inhibit it. Research shows that while cultural diversity brings unique perspectives and ideas that create mature environments for innovative thinking, it also presents significant challenges, including communication barriers and the generation of possible misunderstandings. Without skilled management, these problems can hamper the flow of ideas. Furthermore, this paper highlights the importance of fostering leadership styles and communication strategies for an open and supportive environment critical to thriving team creativity. In the text section, I integrate these findings into practical, actionable strategies that provide some feasible suggestions for organizations seeking to improve innovation. These strategies are deeply embedded in an understanding of cultural dynamics and aim to reform organizational practices to add some possibilities for us to achieve greater innovation and success in an increasingly diverse business world.

Empowering Palestinian Students: Overcoming English Speaking Barriers throughSamr Model-Inspired Digital Storytelling Based on Gaza Children's Stories during the War

Nowadays, many educators seem to have overlooked the potential of incorporating media as a valuable instructional tool, as indicated by a study delving into the realm of digital-based learning resources. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the enhancement of students' speaking abilities through the integration of digital storytelling, utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative elements. The study involves sixteen 10th-grade students from Nabi-Saleh Secondary School, adopting a single group pretest-posttest design. A comprehensive speaking skill rubric, encompassing aspects such as pronunciation, grammar, word selection, speaking fluency, and overall content, was employed to assess students speaking skills throughout the research. In addition to quantitative measures, qualitative data, including student reflections and perceptions, were gathered through interviews and open-ended survey questions. The quantitative analysis revealed a significant value (2-Tailed) of 0.000 in the One Sample Test. The significance of less than 0.05 led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Hα), suggesting a notable improvement in students' speaking abilities through the integration of digital storytelling. According to the SAMR approach (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition), digital storytelling has become an essential instrument for encouraging students' unique ideas and creating a lively and stimulating learning environment. This redefines the entire learning process, going beyond simple replacement. The introduction of the SAMR model contributes additional insights into the transformative role of technology in education. This research not only highlights the quantifiable improvements in speaking skills but also delves into the qualitative aspects of students' experiences with digital storytelling. It emphasizes the importance of adapting digital media to cater to students' needs, presenting it as an innovative teaching tool in the classroom. To enhance the study's relevance to current events, a suggestion is made to incorporate narratives that resonate with the lived experiences of Palestinian children facing the challenges of the Gaza-Israel war. Including stories that showcase their resilience and strength in adversity can significantly engage students, connecting the study to impactful narratives emerging from Gaza.

Empirical Research of Professional Creativity of the Head of Educational Institution

The aim of our research is to show the concepts of “professional creativity” and “creativity in the process of professional activity”; to organize the experimental research and to analyze its results; to describe the processes cause a creative reinterpretation of stereotypes – meaning-making – and changes in the entire life process – life-making; to show the results of empirical researches of professional creativity of the head of educational institutions. Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling and generalization. The experimental method was the method of organizing empirical research. The results of the research. We proved, that if there was no personal meaning in the process of professional activity, for the sake of which professional activity would be carried out, and only the objective orientation of this activity was expressed. Then such activity would not take the form of creative activity, it would not reflect the actual spiritual search on oneself that is meaningful for a person. The internal objective determinants, the objective orientation of the process of professional activity allows the manager to find his/her own personal meaning, and only when the manager clearly understands why he/she will carry out creative activity, its goals and values will be determined. Only in the case when the process of professional creativity acquires a personally significant meaning for the manager, only then this activity can be considered in a creative aspect, in the paradigm of the manager’s acquisition of personal meanings and the formation of his/her creative individuality. Thus, the professional creativity of a manager is understood by us as a conscious, purposeful, active process of the unique activity of its kind, aimed at finding a new, independent, innovative and original way of managing the activities of subordinates with the aim of highly effective creative resolution of managerial tasks and problems. Conclusions. The results of professional creativity are: a new understanding of the subject of activity – the creation of new ideas, programs, concepts, projects, paradigms, aimed at obtaining fundamentally new results, which make it possible to involve a wider social community in creative cooperation; the emergence of new ways of carrying out professional activities, hitherto unknown technologies, activity algorithms, etc. Professional creativity of the manager is accompanied by constant personal development – the need for new, original, non-standard and unique ideas.
