The authors’ research scope includes the professional activities of designers and managers. These activities being a synergy of a creative and an analytic approach, the authors focus on the scientific analysis and the creative process as essential and foundational for professional activities of creative occupations. In the article, the authors analyse the correlation of the scientific and creative components in modern design. The authors raise the issue of technocracy pervading creative activities and link the problem to the active application of computer technologies to creative processes. The authors dwell on the content of such concepts as «scientist» and «artist», «creativity» and «execution» in science and arts, demonstrate the unity and contradiction between the individual-personal and the technocratic in science and arts, discuss the processes of technocratization of creative occupations and a search for a balance between market and human interests, an identify the advantages and challenges that technocratization (or «technical extension of man») offers. Creativity and marketing management are considered in the article as united by design goals and methods. The authors emphasize that modern society is a product of the human mind, creativity and modern technologies.

The Creation

В статье представлен обзор выставки современного декоративноприкладного искусства Ленатавр, проходившей в Красноярском художественном музее имени В.И.Сурикова. Описание совместного творческого проекта музея и художников керамиста Елены Красновой и живописца Елены Лихацкой наглядно иллюстрирует технические трудности и творческие процессы, возникающие в совместной работе авторов произведений и куратора выставки. Автором с позиции куратора рассматривается подготовка выставки как творческий процесс и экспозиция выставки как самостоятельный художественный объект, при создании которого необходимо учесть множество взаимодополняющих факторов, соблюсти определенные условия экспонирования на музейной площади, совместить творчество разных художников, избежав диссонанса. Главная задача куратора состоит в том, чтобы представить произведения художников с такой позиции, при которой у посетителей возникает необходимость изучения творчества представленных авторов, которая вызывает побуждение к размышлению, привлекает внимание к животрепещущим вопросам современного общества, рассматриваемым в работах Елены Красновой. The article presents an overview of the Lenataur exhibition of contemporary arts and crafts, which took place in the Krasnoyarsk Art Museum named after V.I. Surikov. A description of the joint creative project of the museum and artists (ceramist Elena Krasnova and painter Elena Lihacka) vividly illustrates the technical difficulties and creative processes that arise in the joint work of the authors of the works and the curator of the exhibition. From the position of the curator, the author considers the preparation of the exhibition as a creative process and the exhibition as an independent artistic object, the creation of which requires taking into account many complementary factors, meeting certain conditions of display on the museum square, combining the work of various artists, avoiding dissonance. The main task of the curator is to present works of artists from such a position, in which the visitors need to study the works of the submitted authors, which causes an incentive to reflect, draws attention to the burning issues of modern society, considered in the works of Elena Krasnova.

The Brain

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a stage of sleep that evolved in part to provide a privileged time in each day when the brain is disconnected from sensory input and freed of intentional, directed thought. The neurochemistry and neurophysiology of the brain during REM sleep is optimized for the exploration of normally ignored connections and associations within the brain’s vast repertoire of stored information. This includes changes in the activity of dorsolateral prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and medial orbital frontal cortices and the hippocampus, and reductions in norepinephrine and increases in acetylcholine in the cortex. This exploration of normally weak associations is critical to the creative process, and REM sleep can thus be considered a period of unbridled creativity. Much of this creative process is reflected in the content of dreams. Even without waking dream recall, changes within associative networks produced by the brain mechanisms of dream construction can leave these brain networks—and the individual—primed for reactivation at a later time, leading to the “discovery” of creative insights. Some, but not all, of these brain changes are also seen during periods of quiet rest with activation of the default mode network (DMN). When active, this network can likewise provide a state of enhanced creativity. Nevertheless, REM sleep and dreaming provide a protected two hours every day when creative processes run at full speed.

World Economic Crisis

The Epilogue describes how economic and social shocks of the late 2000s, in particular the 2008 world economic crisis, affected local fusion musics in Central Europe. It discusses changes in artistic personhood, musical sociality, creative processes, and connections to the West European musical market; efficiency penetrated the creative process, and more aspects of the individual became monetized. The Epilogue describes how far-right nationalism and its musical expression strengthened in the late 2000s, and how others made musical interventions against these trends. It describes how musicians changed their relationships with large arts institutions, detailing how by the 2000s, intellectually oriented musicians established some connections to the Western European world-music industry and to new modes of musical production and distribution. It concludes that few artistic experiments could continue after socioeconomic shock.

We consider some issues of modern society related to the growing trend of social and emotional isolation of the individual, changes in their worldview, leading to the degradation of thinking and intellectual abilities. There is need to search for psychological and pedagogical ways, means and methods to activate the intellectual, emotional and creative development of the individual. A possible way to solve the identified social issues is the possibility of forming a person's skills for improvisation. We consider the implementation of this process in educational and creative activities of an amateur theater group as a sphere that provides ample opportunities for creative self-realization of the individual. We define the term “improvisation” as a universal ability of the individual, which is manifested in various creative processes, as well as in many other aspects of human life. An actor forms improvisational skills in an amateur theater group due to the organization and implementation of a number of pedagogical conditions, such as: creating a climate of psychological comfort that promotes the self-disclosure of individual and creative abilities of participants in an amateur theater group; using the etude method in the process of mastering the elements of acting improvisation by an amateur actor; mastering the basics of “effective thinking” through specific training exercises. The content component of the implementation of these pedagogical conditions, according to the authors, activates the course of the described process.

Intellectual Potential

Education today is an area around which heated discussions are unfolding, both at the state level and in society. The processes of integration and globalization are especially active today, but they should not replace the content of national cultures and educational systems on which they occur. It should combine an openness of education with its general availability at all levels, in the interaction of interested parties and, above all, the state, in all components of this process in order to preserve society’s intellectual potential. Scientific analysis of any phenomenon involves considering it from several positions. Nowadays, modern society is going through complex processes of revaluation of basic values in all spheres of life - material, spiritual, socio-political, social (in the narrow sense) against the background of various activation of the human factor in the above areas. The analysis of global problems should consider the principal objects of influence of these problems and the subjects whose activities cause their aggravation. In other words, it is necessary to distinguish between the spheres of interaction between the individual, nature, society (in this case, the world community), which comprises states with different forms of social structure, economy, national-state organisation, different mentality, legal systems, and the like.

An important task of education, in addition to the transfer of special knowledge and skills, is the formation of the structural components of the personality, which will ensure the high efficiency of future professional activities. The processes of integration of the Ukrainian education system into the European world educational space pose for educational institutions the problem of improving the quality of educational services, ensuring the proper level of the educational process. Modern society is largely interested in the psychological resources of the individual as the basis of all other resource components of the development of civilization. That is why the qualities of the person, which allow her to independently and actively act, make decisions, flexibly adapt to changing conditions of life, achieve success, professionally self-realize, should be formed and developed at all stages of education. Тhe main purpose of the article is to analyze the mechanisms of formation and functioning of the individual in the process of learning and professional activity and to provide recommendations to future specialists on their effective use of methods of psychological tools, the formation of psychological culture for the successful implementation of their personal and professional self-realization. The relevance of the topic is due to the current important changes in the educational system, related, in particular, to the understanding of a person as an entity - a person and a subject of professional activity. Special attention is paid to the problem of the development of the personality of a specialist, the formation of his professional values. We concentrate on the need to ensure the productive orientation of the individual, updating the motives for achieving it, increasing the need for self-development and self-realization, as well as increasing the adequacy of the tasks of the educational process to the real tasks that applicants have to solve at different stages of vocational training.

How Designers transcend the barriers to creativity to achieve an ideal state of flow during their creative process? Tracing parallels between Design education and industry-based practice, Flow is an article that explores the mindsets and behaviours of Designers in their ecosystems and the challenges surrounding them. The exploratory journey advanced in the manuscript is based on foundational art essays blended with different points of view from traditional designers and Positive Psychology concepts. Aditionally, it builds on the author’s previous research developed on Flow and aimed to challenge paradigms and contrast core design principles and philosophies. Its purpose is to better understand what are the tensions between the different creative processes like the individual spark of creativity, the playful serendipity, the inventor’s light bulb, the apprentice master craftsmanship model and other contemporary methodologies such as Design Thinking and Agile. Nevertheless, it inspect how all of these approaches relates to the context of the designers’ ecosystem and the challenges they face when designing. As a piece of research, Flow does not offer final crystalised answers or solutions yet instead poses critical questions and offers an open dialogue with diverse points of view.

Abstract When an individual falls due to a nonwork-related episode of dizziness, hits their head and sustains injury, do workers’ compensation laws consider such injuries to be compensable? Bearing in mind that each state makes its own laws, the answer depends on what caused the loss of consciousness, and the second asks specifically what happened in the fall that caused the injury? The first question speaks to medical causation, which applies scientific analysis to determine the cause of the problem. The second question addresses legal causation: Under what factual circumstances are injuries of this type potentially covered under the law? Much nuance attends this analysis. The authors discuss idiopathic falls, which in this context means “unique to the individual” as opposed to “of unknown cause,” which is the familiar medical terminology. The article presents three detailed case studies that describe falls that had their genesis in episodes of loss of consciousness, followed by analyses by lawyer or judge authors who address the issue of compensability, including three scenarios from Arizona, California, and Pennsylvania. A medical (scientific) analysis must be thorough and must determine the facts regarding the fall and what occurred: Was the fall due to a fit (eg, a seizure with loss of consciousness attributable to anormal brain electrical activity) or a faint (eg, loss of consciousness attributable to a decrease in blood flow to the brain? The evaluator should be able to fully explain the basis for the conclusions, including references to current science.
