Creative Media

Interactive, transmedia and immersive nonfiction creations gain projection in Brazil from 2018 on, with the academy as a great ally. Universities, as spaces for innovation, manage to foster projects of excellence, despite the scarce and high investments required, bringing together people, technological resources and strategic partnerships. In the XR (extended realities) ecosystem of the Brazilian creative industry, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, one of the most prized, largest and oldest public institutions of higher education in the country, through its Post Graduate Program in Creative Media (PPGMC) becomes a reference center. The institution launches innovative and experimental creations, which would hardly receive private funding, due to the adverse economic situation that the creative sectors are currently facing. This article presents and analyzes recent productions in terms of thematic approaches, technologies and languages. Applied methodologies for the creation of interactive and immersive works are also discussed, from the perspective of how these creative methods have been fostering the practice-based research output at PPGMC, and the currently achieved results.

Research Findings

Absenteeism is seen as a critical problem in public organizations, since the factors that generate it negatively impact the productivity of organizations. In this sense, considering that Federal Institutions of Higher Education represent almost half of the entire workforce existing in the Federal Executive Branch, this article aims to identify absenteeism, as well as its typification, in addition to measuring its accounting reflex. The methodology adopted was panel data analysis, through the analysis of the absenteeism index with time series from 2008 to 2018. The research findings reinforce that absenteeism is more representative when it is due to a stricto sensu graduate program and medical licenses. Furthermore, it was found that the absenteeism rate doubles every 5 years.

The Status

The primary function of Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah (Faculty) of Laws, at the very beginning of its inception, was that of teaching civil law and Sharî’ah subjects. As it matured, its vision has been varied from teaching to that of research with the aim of attaining the status of a full research institution that provides both quality research and best legal education in the region. Similar to other institutions of higher education in Malaysia, the responsibility of research is a shared function of both graduate students and the academic staff. The research output, on the part of the students is mostly composed of either Master Dissertations or PhD Theses. The academic members of the Faculty, however, are involved either in direct research, individually or jointly, supervision, and publications of their findings. By investigating and analyzing factors influencing research activities at AIKOL in the past twenty years, the researchers will be able to identify the general trends and development of research as it unfolded over years. The researchers hope that the policymakers, at both Faculty and University levels, will use the findings to improve research quality by boldly addressing the problems hampering research progress at AIKOL.

Abstract Introduction:The authors of this paper base their research on the following assumption: the development of both geragogic education (older adult education) and profession is conditioned by the existence of a study program of geragogy provided by departments of geragogy created at universities (as public institutions of higher education). The fact remains that a qualified training of geragogues is absent in the Slovak conditions. Purpose:When compiling a graduate profile, inclusive of a list of competences that a geragogue should possess, a range of specific local circumstances needs to be taken into consideration. Subsequently, it is necessary to define a position of a geragogue. Geragogue is a professional working in the field of senior education, just like a pedagogue or an adult educator work in their fields. It is also important to identify and accentuate the philosophical and social context in which these professionals are confronted with the demands of today’s society, in a form of a society based on knowledge, questions of the ongoing social changes and defining the meaning of life. Results:The task of creating the department and program of geragogy is formulated as a social demand of the time, debunking the current myth of the crisis of universities. In history, a university was a vital place where the values serving social integration emerged. It was also a practice field for the educators to train so they could spread these values and transform them into social skills. Conclusion:In the conclusion, the authors propose key areas of undergraduate training of geragogues, including the definition of institutional anchoring, with the goal to contribute to ongoing professional discussion and to creation of the department and the program of geragogy.

El trabajo de investigación que se reporta busca hacer observables los posibles cambios en las trayectorias y perfiles del personal académico que podían atribuirse a la aparición e implementación, en la mayor parte de las Instituciones de Educación Superior públicas del país, de programas que tenían como objetivo el mejoramiento de los perfiles formativos, de producción e inserción internacional de los académicos, y que emplearon diferentes mecanismos de evaluación, diferenciación de ingresos y apoyos a la continuación de su formación. A través de definir una periodización que reflejara la aparición y modificaciones de dichas medidas, la propuesta de una tipología de las instituciones de educación superior y la adopción de una forma de organizar la diversidad disciplinaria, se intentaron controlar analíticamente los efectos paralelos que estos aspectos pudieran tener en la variación de condiciones de trabajo y socialización de los académicos. Con esta forma de organizar la diversidad se analizaron la evolución formativa, la combinación de actividades, el uso del tiempo, las opiniones y los resultados reportados por los académicos del país en la encuesta aplicada en 2001. Finalmente, en el trabajo que se presenta se subrayan algunos de los logros, tensiones y riesgos que parecen derivarse de las lógicas coexistentes en los mecanismos impulsados, especialmente en los ámbitos del compromiso institucional y la renovación de la planta académica actual.AbstractThe work of investigation that is reported looks for making observable the possible changes in the trajectories and profiles of the academic personal that could be attributed to the appearance and implementation, in most of the public Institutions of Higher Education of the country, of programs which  had like objective the improvement of the formative profiles, of production and international insertion of the academics, and that used different mechanisms from evaluation, differentiation of income and supports to the continuation of their formation. Through defining a periodization that reflected the appearance and modifications of these measures, the proposal of a typology of the institutions of higher education and the adoption of a form to organize the disciplinary diversity, were tried analytically to control the parallel effects that these aspects could have in the variation of conditions of work and socialization of the academics. With this form to organize the diversity were analyzed the formative evolution, the combination of activities, the use of the time, the opinions and the results reported by the academics of the country in the survey applied in 2001. Finally, this work emphasizes some of the profits, tensions and risks that seem to derive themselves from the coexisting logics in the impelled mechanisms, especially in the scopes of the institutional commitment and the renovation of the present academic plant.

The Right

Problem setting. Leasing out property that is involved in educational, academic, training and production, scientific activities by the public institutions of higher education often leads to violation of the rights of other participants in educational activities. They are sure to be a result of violating the limits, established by the current legislation, of exercising the rights to leasing out property by the public institutions of higher educational. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of state property lease have been studied by many scholars. Basic research in this area has been conducted by I. Spasibo-Fatieieva, O. Lipetsker, Ye.Kazarenko, V. Steshenko, M. Pronina, S. Puhinsky, T. Potapenkova, Yu.Basin, D. levenson, N. Khashchivska, N. Milovska and other scientists. Target of research. The aim of the paper is a comprehensive study and analysis of the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: 1) to define the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property; 2) to determine the legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by the public higher educational institutions in violation of current legislation. Article’s main body. The article conducts a general study and analysis of the right of the public institutions of higher education to lease property. The author emphasizes that public higher educational institutions have the right to lease out only real estate and other individually identified property. The legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by public higher educational institutions in violation of the current legislation have been studied. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the results of the study we can formulate the following conclusions. The public institutions of higher education have the right to lease out real estate and other individually determined property in the manner prescribed by law and subject to statutory restrictions (without the right of redemption and sublease, when it does not worsen the social and living conditions of persons studying or working in the educational institution). While leasing the property, the public higher educational institution realizes primarily their own property interests, at the same time, indirectly realizing the property interests of the state. If the lease agreement of real estate and other individually determined property of higher educational institutions is recognized as invalid, it may be recognized as invalid only for the future.

Determining Factor

This article contributes to the literature on gender inequality in the creative workforce. Motherhood has been attributed as a determining factor of female under-employment or unequal representation in the creative industries, a problematic claim that distracts attention from operational excluding structures. The article considers why motherhood has become an identified explanation for female under-representation by considering the question: what sort of mother are we referring to when we talk of the creative worker? Revising the genealogy of literature on maternal practice from second wave up to recent concepts of neoliberal feminism, this article explores how class-based practices associated with motherhood have an influence on how all women are valued as creative workers. This is in direct contrast to men whose employment value increases following parenthood. The term ‘value’ explores how individual choices emerge in response to wider structural issues, providing a framework to consider the relationship between gender and class in the context of the neoliberal, creative industry.

Purpose Each of Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education list information literacy (IL) as either an institutional outcome or general education outcome for their students. Despite this, communication between the four campuses on this topic was limited. Librarians from these institutions applied to be part of the grant-funded Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program to find ways to collaborate with each other and with teaching faculty to support the development of IL skills in transfer students. Design/methodology/approach Librarians from Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education, with funding from the Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program, held a one-day IL summit to bring librarians and teaching faculty together to unify objectives and create a seamless IL transition for transfer students. Findings Creating an opportunity for librarians and teaching faculty to discuss the definition and potential applications of IL in courses and assignments led to positive outcomes. Teaching faculty learned about library resources and took steps to begin collaborating with their campus librarian(s). Librarians also learned about different academic expectations in various disciplines, made new connections and made plans for future IL-focused collaborations. Originality/value Studies have demonstrated that IL is a key component to student transfer success. However, this is not an element in education that can be achieved by one department alone. The collaborative effort described in this paper can serve as a model for other librarians hoping to foster dialogue and cooperation amongst their regional institutions.
