Intergroup Contact and Personal and Cultural Stereotypes in Intercultural Relations: A Case of the Stereotype Content in Moscow for Belarusians, Chinese, Uzbeks, and Chechens
Authors: Grigoryev Dmitry Sergeevich , Komyaginskaya Elizaveta Shamilevna
Published: April 2023

The authors use the Stereotype Content Model to consider the relationship between positive and negative intergroup contact and personal and cultural ethnic stereotypes. The introduction poses the theoretical foundations through defining acculturation and adaptation, and also outlining their relationship with stereotypes and intergroup contact in the context of intercultural relations. The empirical part examines intergroup contact and ethnic stereotypes in Moscow about Belarusians, Chinese, Uzbeks, and Chechens with a gender-balanced sample consisted of 316 ethnic Russians aged 16 to 68 (34 years on average). Three competing hypotheses about the correspondence of valence of intergroup contact and stereotypes were considered: (1) constant valence asymmetry; (2) usefulness of stereotype-inconsistent information; (3) epistemic defense. As a result in linear mixed models that (1) personal stereotypes were more positive than cultural ones; (2) however, they were located relative to each other in accordance with the quadrants of cultural stereotypes; (3) intergroup contact was associated with personal stereotypes in the direction according to the valence of the contact; (4) no evidence for interaction between negative contact and cultural stereotypes, whereas the beneficial effect of positive contact was stronger for those ethnic groups with more negative cultural stereotypes. It was concluded that personal experience has only limited scope for improving an already positive attitude, or worsening a negative one. Therefore, only a social policy aimed at changing cultural stereotypes might be efficient.
The Role of Civic Identity, Religiosity, Sex, and Education in Young People's Commitment to Various Forms of Social Activity
Authors: Shamionov Rail M.
Published: April 2023

The problem of social activity of young people is in the field of research attention of psychology, sociology, law, pedagogy and other sciences. The social activity of young people is an important basis for the dynamic and innovative development of society. Studying the factor structure and the role of socio-psychological characteristics in integral (combined) forms of social activity is an important task of modern social psychology. The aim of the study is to investigate the structure of social activity of young people and, based on a path analysis, to determine the role of civic identity, religiosity, sex, and education in commitment to various (combined) forms of social activity. The study involved 305 people aged M = 21.2; SD = 2.95 (men - 35.4%), 17.4% of the participants were married. A questionnaire aimed at fixing socio-demographic characteristics, civic identity, religiosity, attitudes of social activity, and developed scales aimed at measuring commitment to various types of social activity were used. To assess this commitment, previously developed scales were used. Civil identity was determined using A.N. Tatarko’s scale. Descriptive statistics methods, factorial, correlation, regression and path analyses were also applied. It has been shown that the four-component (civil-political, protest-subcultural, spiritual-educational, leisure) factor model of forms of social activity is acceptable for all the analyzed dimensions. As a result of modeling, a direct relationship between gender and education is established with the manifestations of educational-developing, civil-political and leisure, educational-developing activity respectively. Civil identity is a positive factor in civil-political activity and a negative factor in protest-subcultural activity. At the center of the model is the commitment to spiritual and educational activity, which contributes to the prediction of all the other forms of activity, i.e., civil-political and leisure (directly), and protest-subcultural (indirectly). The facilitating or hindering and mediating role of civic identity, religiosity, gender, and education in commitment to various forms of social activity can be used in organizing social activity of young people as well as in developing “guided” socialization programs.

Authors: Yakushina Anastasia A. , Leonov Sergey V. , Nevmerzhitskaya Ekaterina V.
Published: April 2023

To achieve high results in sports, both motor and cognitive skills are important. However, the formation of cognitive components of sports activity can be influenced by personality traits, for example, such a multidimensional trait as perfectionism. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between various parameters of perfectionism and the cognitive component of skill in sports. The study involved 311 athletes aged 14 to 32 years (M = 19.5; SD = 2.03). The following instruments were used in the study: The Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale 2 and The Three-Factor Questionnaire of Perfectionism (for diagnosing perfectionism); Questionnaire of Metacognitive Involvement in Activities (for diagnosing metacognitive involvement); and The Mental Image Inventory in Sports (to determine the frequency of using mental images). It has been shown that the athletes with more pronounced perfectionism are able to better understand and evaluate their performance; they can more accurately notice mistakes and more often use mental images in the training process. Also, as a result of a series of regression analyzes, it has been found that such parameters of perfectionism as “high personal standards” and “regime organization” affect the frequency of using cognitive and motivational images, as well as metacognitive involvement in the activities of the athletes who took part in the study. Thus, perfectionism has a significant impact on various parameters of the cognitive component of skill development, which in turn can affect the performance of an athlete in training and competition.

The article reveals the issues of the relationship between the risks of trust and industrial development, taking into account the inclusion of socio-cultural factors in the analysis of economic dynamics. The study characterizes the concept of trust and identifies the directions and areas of its impact on industrial development in the transition to the neo-industrial paradigm. The high role of the authorities and the openness of public structures in the formation of trust is substantiated. The study determined that it is advisable to use Data mining tools to assess the level of trust. It is proved that Social Mining technologies make it possible to determine the level of trust and, with subsequent conjugate analysis of the dependence of the level of neo-industrial development and the level of trust, to conduct a proactive risk analysis, identifying them at an earlier cyclical level for timely regulatory impact.
Islamic Resilience as Spiritual and Psychological Coping Strategies for Muslims during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gumiandari Septi , Madjid Abd. , Nafi’a Ilman , Safii Safii , Hidayat Abas
Published: April 2023

This study aims to explain the concept of resilience from the Islamic perspective. This study used qualitative methodology with a literature approach. The results showed that the phenomenon of religious human behavior should not only be judged by the lens of modern secular psychology theory, but also by the theory of psychology based on Islamic values. It is because they have different frames in looking at reality; and resilience in Islam is an obligation. Having resilient personalities, in Islamic teaching, means individuals’ iman (faith) should be tested. Humans are motivated to have resilience after getting life’s problems with the Covid-19 issue. Individuals’ faith has not reached a high level of spirituality when they have not been tested. There are some personalities in Islam that are in line with the concept of resilience for overcoming the Covid-19 issue in positive psychology such as sabr, tawakkal, shukr, rida, ikhlas and tawbah. In order to increase resilience in overcoming the Covid-19 issue, Sufis provide spiritual training such as takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli.
More focal is not always better: effects of conventional versus high-definition transcranial direct-current stimulation on implicit motor sequence learning
Authors: Firouzi Mahyar , Baetens Kris , Saeys Manon , Duta Catalina , Baeken Chris , Overwalle Frank Van , Swinnen Eva , Deroost Natacha
Published: April 2023

Conventional transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) delivered to
the primary motor cortex (M1) has been shown to enhance implicit motor
sequence learning (IMSL). Conventional tDCS targets M1 but also the
motor association cortices (MAC), making the precise contribution of M1
to IMSL presently unclear. We aimed to address the roles of these areas
by comparing conventional tDCS of M1 and MAC to High-Definition (HD)
tDCS, which more focally targets M1. In this sham-controlled, crossover
study in 89 healthy adults, we used mixed-effects models to analyze
sequence-specific and general learning effects in the acquisition,
short- and long-term consolidation phases of IMSL, as measured by the
serial reaction time task. Conventional tDCS did not influence general
learning, improved sequence-specific learning during acquisition
(anodal: M=42.64 ms, sham: M=32.87 ms, p=.041) and deteriorated it at
long-term consolidation (anodal: M=75.37 ms, sham: M=86.63 ms, p=.019).
HD tDCS did not influence general learning, slowed performance
specifically in sequential blocks across all learning phases (all
p’s<.050), and consequently deteriorated sequence-specific
learning during acquisition (anodal: M=24.13 ms, sham: M=35.67 ms,
p=.014) and long-term consolidation (anodal: M=60.03 ms, sham: M=75.01
ms, p=.002). Our findings indicate that generalized stimulation of M1
and MAC enhanced acquisition, but hindered consolidation of IMSL. In
contrast, focal M1 stimulation by HD tDCS worsened overall performance,
likely due to cathodal inhibition of MAC as induced by the return
electrodes. Consequently, this disruption of performance supports the
notion that these areas fundamentally contribute to IMSL as an integral
part in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical network.

Published: April 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by either inadequate or dysfunctional
insulin. It is one leading causes of Diabetic retinopathy (DR). Many
synthetic medications have serious adverse effects that exacerbate the
diabetic patient’s condition. The discovery of phytochemicals from
medicinal plants offers a promising possibility for the creation of
novel therapies for diabetes and its complications including DR. This
review highlighted pathological mechanism of DR and also describe
numerous plant-derived small compounds (phytochemicals) that have been
studied in pre-clinical and clinical settings for their potential to
have retinal cytoprotective effects. This also emphasise the mechanism
retinal cryoprotection of phytochemicals. The sources were retrieved
from various database such as Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed,
Medline etc. In various studies, phytochemicals reduced inflammation,
apoptosis pathways and oxidative stress, which inhibited the development
of DR. Numerous phytochemicals, including flavonoids, lignan,
glycosides, phytoestrogen etc., inhibited the production of Reactive
Oxygen Species (ROS) and downregulation the inflammatory markers such as
Interleukin-6(IL-6), Interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and Tumor necrosis factor-α
(TNF-α). Overall most of the phytochemicals shows retinal cryoprotection
by reducing generation of free radicals and inflammatory mediators.
Dose-, time-, and sex-dependent effects of pegfilgrastim on the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii)
Authors: Wolmarans De Wet , JP Strydom , Brand Linda , P Francois Viljoen
Published: April 2023

An increasing body of research implicates inflammatory processes,
including alterations in the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), in the
pathophysiology of psychiatric illness. The deer mouse (Peromyscus
maniculatus bairdii) is commonly studied for its naturalistic
expression of compulsive-like behaviour. Towards future efforts to gain
an understanding of how innate and adaptive immune processes might be
involved this model, we set out to study the effects of pegfilgrastim, a
pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
(g-CSF) analogue, on the NLR of both male and female deer mice. Briefly,
54 deer mice (equally distributed between sexes) were exposed to a
single injection with either control or pegfilgrastim (0.1 or 1 mg/kg) (
n = 18 per group). Six mice of each group were euthanized on days
two, four and seven post-administration, blood collected and the NLR
calculated. Our results showed that irrespective of dose, pegfilgrastim
resulted in higher NLR values in mice of both sexes at days four and
seven of testing, but that female mice exposed to the higher dose,
presented with significantly higher NLR values irrespective of time,
compared to male mice exposed to the same. These data highlight
important dose and sex-specific areas for consideration and provide a
useful basis for further study of both immunological and brain-immune
crosstalk processes in deer mice.
Complete mitogenomes of pangasiid catfishes and their phylogeny for taxonomic implications for Pangasiidae and the suborder Siluroidei
Authors: Duong Yen , PHAM THI KHANH LINH , LE THI KIM XUYEN , Nguyen Ngọc-Tran , Azizah Siti , Le Hoa
Published: April 2023

Although Pangasiidae (four genera: Pangasius, Pangasianodon,
Helicophagus, and Pseudolais) is known to be a monophyletic family, the
generic and phylogenetic relationships, as well as inter- and
intrafamilial relationships of the catfish families in Siluroidei, are
poorly resolved. In this study, we obtained complete mitogenomes from
three catfish species of the Mekong River in Vietnam: Pangasius
mekongensis (16,462 bp), Pangasius krempfi (16,475 bp), and
Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (16,523 bp) and reconstructed a
comprehensive phylogeny with 117 mitogenomes of 32 recognized siluriform
families. The genomic features of the three mitogenomes were similar to
those of previously reported pangasiids, including all regulatory
elements, extended terminal associated sequences (ETAS), and conserved
sequence blocks (CSBs) (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3, and CSBs, A to F) in the
control region. The phylogeny established Pangasiidae as monophyletic
and a sister group of Austroglanididae. The [Pangasiidae +
Austroglanididae] + (Ictaluridae + Cranoglanididae) + Ariidae] clade
is a sister group to the “Big Africa” major clade of Siluriformes.
Furthermore, both phylogenies constructed from the single barcodes (83
partial cox1 and 80 partial cytB, respectively) clearly resolved the
Pangasiidae’s intrafamilial and intergeneric relationships.
Pangasianodon was monophyletic and conclusively as a sister to the
(Pangasius + Helicophagus + Pseudolais) group. Pangasius. mekongensis
was placed as a sister taxon to P. pangasius within the genus Pangasius,
while Pangasius sanitwongsei was found to be related to and grouped with
Pangasianodon. However, in the single-gene phylogenies, this species was
assigned to the [Pangasius + Helicophagus + Pseudolais] group. The
datasets in this study are useful for reappraising pangasiid taxonomy,
as well as for siluriform catfish identification, DNA barcoding,
systematics, phylogenetics, population genetics, and timeline and mode
of diversification studies.
Fabrication and Integration of a Low-cost 3D Printing-based Glucose Biosensor for Bioprinted Liver-on-a-chip
Authors: Lee Jaehee , Maji Somnath , Lee Hyungseok
Published: April 2023

In the last two decades, there have been significant advancements in the
development of more physiologically relevant organ-on-a-chip (OOC)
systems that can mimic the tissue microenvironment. Despite the
advantages of these microphysiological systems, such as portability, the
ability to mimic physiological flow conditions, and the reduction of
reagents required for preparation and detection, they lack real-time
detection of analytes with high accuracy. To address this, biosensor
technologies have been integrated with OOC systems to enable
simultaneous analysis of different analytes in a single device. However,
integrating biosensors with OOC systems is challenging due to the
competing demands for low-cost, simple fabrication processes, and speed.
This study presents the fabrication of a glucose sensing device
integrated with a liver-on-a-chip (LOC) platform. The conductive
PLA-based three-electrode system was printed using FDM 3D printing
technology to simplify the fabrication process. The sensitivity of the
glucose biosensing device was enhanced by adding multi-walled carbon
nanotubes on the electrodes. The biosensing integration study using a
perfusion-based LOC showed the stability, biocompatibility, and
sensitivity of the glucose sensing devices. Furthermore, drug toxicity
studies on the LOC platform demonstrated the device’s ability to detect
a broad range of glucose concentrations and its enhanced sensitivity.
Volatility spillover networks of credit risk: Evidence from ASW and CDS spreads in Turkey and Brazil
Authors: Gunay Samet , Cevik Emrah , Dibooglu Sel
Published: April 2023

This study examines received and transmitted volatility spillovers of Credit Default Swap (CDS) and Asset-Swap Spread (ASW) for Brazil and Turkey. The empirical analysis is implemented using two country-based (stock markets and exchange rates) and two global (volatility index and global economic activity index) variables to account for the impact of integration into global markets. Empirical results suggest that both countries display distinctive features in their spillover networks. While exchange rates and the stock market figure prominently in Brazil as a source of spillovers, for Turkey, the primary element in spillovers appears to be credit risk indicators. Time-varying analysis results show that the European Debt Crisis of 2010-2011 and the global liquidity crunch of 2018-2019 are two critical periods in volatility spillovers that occurred toward credit risk indicators. Brazil displays more sensitivity to the developments of the pandemic than Turkey, likely due to its dependence on global economic activity and energy prices. Finally, for both countries, the leading variable in spillovers to credit risk indicators during financial turbulence episodes appears to be foreign exchange markets. This result highlights both economies? fragility and vulnerability to foreign exchange market-based shocks. Thus, we suggest effective and solid measures in this regard. Otherwise, those shocks could potentially induce a higher cost of financing in both economies due to the negative impacts on CDS and ASW spreads.

pertur?bation method. It is used in conjunction with the homotopy
perturbation approach in this method. To further showcase the Elzaki
transform-homotopy perturbation technique?s competence and reliability, we
have provided solution the parabolic linear PDE. It was found that both HPM
and Laplace decomposition method were similar when compared to resulting
analytical solutions. Results suggest that the Elzaki transform in
conjunction with the homotopy perturbation technique is capa?ble and
practicable for use in these cases.

Published: April 2023

Objective of the present investigation is intended to study the MHD Casson
fluids flow through an exponentially stretching surface. This free
convective flow is in?vestigated in thermally stratified porous medium. Also
viscosity along with thermal conductivity is varying with temperature. With
the exponential decay for the inter?nal heat generation in the region and
buoyancy force, the natural-convection is induced. Then the transformed set
of equations of the flow after applying suitable similarity solutions were
encountered by Shooting Technique in conjunction with the fourth ordered
Runge-Kutta method. Outputs illustrates that with increased viscosity
parameter an increasing velocity profile is noticed but a decrement is
observed for temperature field in entire domain and near the wall for
temperature gradient profile. Also with increased Casson fluids parameter
decreasing velocity profile is noticed but an increment is observed for
temperature field in entire do?main and for temperature gradient profile
near the wall.
The 3-D study on flow around two wall-mounted cylinders in side by side arrangement
Authors: Jiang Tongxiao , Ying Yuxiang , Nie Deming
Published: April 2023

To investigate the characteristics of flow over two finite-height cylinders
in side-by-side arrangement, 3-D numerical simulations are performed using
the CFD technology for gap ratios (G = S/d, where d is the diameter of the
cylinders, and S is the separation gap between the cylinders) between 1 and
4 at a Reynolds number of 100. The height-to-diameter ratio (h/d = 8, where
h is the height of the cylinder) is fixed at 8. The drag and lift
coefficients of the cylinders, as well as the Strouhal number are presented
and compared with those of their 2-D counterparts. Our re?sults show that
the wake of the cylinders indicates a transition from the anti-phase state
to the in-phase state at large gap ratios, accompanied by a decrease in the
lift coefficients of the cylinders.

Published: April 2023

In this article, we propose a new technique based on 2-D shifted Legendre
poly?nomials through the operational matrix integration method to find the
numeri?cal solution of the stochastic heat equation with Neumann boundary
conditions. For the proposed technique, the convergence criteria and the
error estima?tion are also discussed in detail. This new technique is tested
with two exam?ples, and it is observed that this method is very easy to
handle such problems as the initial and boundary conditions are taken care
of automatically. Also, the time complexity of the proposed approach is
discussed and it is proved to be O[k(N + 1)4] where N denotes the degree of
the approximate function and k is the number of simulations. This method is
very convenient and efficient for solving other partial differential
equations.

Numerical simulations of the flow around a finite-height circular cylinder under turbulent
Authors: Ying Yuxiang , Jiang Tongxiao , Nie Deming
Published: April 2023

To investigate the 3-D characteristics of the flow around a finite-height
circular cylinder, this study was based on the CFD technology. The flow was
numerically simulated between Re = 1000 and 10000 using the large eddy
simulation method to verify and analyze the results. Comparing the
instantaneous contours of vorticity for different heights at the same
Reynolds number, it can be seen that the free end influences vortex
shedding. The instantaneous contours of vorticity for a complete period of
vortex shedding were analyzed to explain the causes of lift force
generation. Analysis of the effect of Reynolds numbers on the Strohal
number was done. The analysis focused on the wake structure of the column at
Re = 1000 and Re = 10000, and a significant difference was found between the
two cases.

Published: April 2023

The viscous fluid-flow over a stretching (shrinking) and porous sheets of
non-uniform thickness is investigated in this paper. The modeled problem is
presented by utilizing the stretching/shrinking and porous velocities and
variable thickness of the sheet. Consequently, the new problem reproduces
the different available forms of flow motion maintained over a
stretching/shrinking and porous sheet of variable thickness in one go. As a
result, the governing equations are embedded in several parameters which
can be transformed into classical cases of stretched/shrunk flows over
porous sheets. A set of general, unusual and new variables is formed in
order to simplify the governing PDE and boundary conditions. Three different
series solutions of the final ODE are presented. A single analytical
solution is not sufficient to predict the exact effects of all parameters on
the flow field properties. The problem is solved by a power and two
asymptotic series methods. The results are verified by providing a powerful
numerical solution the problem. A complete set of solutions is provided and
comparison of the solutions with classical models is established for
appropriate values of the parameters which is shown in different graphs and
tables.

This study explores the growth of heat transfer rate for hybrid
nanofluid-flow through two rotary plates fixed parallel. For improvement of
thermal conductivity nanoparticles of Cu and graphene oxide have dispersed
in water. The fluid-flow has been influenced by thermal radiation. Magnetic
effects with strength, B0, has employed in the normal direction the plates.
The set of equations that controlled the fluid-flow system have been shifted
to dimension-free form employing suitable variables. The resultant set of
equations has been solved by HAM. It has revealed in this work that with
upsurge in the values of magnetic and rotational factors the linear velocity
retarded while micro-rotational velocity upsurge. Intensification in
volumetric fractions of nanoparticles results in retardation of fluid motion
in all directions and growth in thermal flow profiles. Thermal flow profiles
are also sup?ported by the augmenting values of radiation factor. It has
further revealed that hybrid nanofluid has a better flow performance in
contrast of traditional nanofluid.

In this work, we define fractional derivative of order ? > 0, with no
restrictions on the domain of the function, and give its geometry. We derive
some rules and properties for the proposed new approach and show that if
fractional order converges to an integer order, then each rule converges to
the corresponding rule of derivative under this integer. On applications
side we show that it has ability to convert various type of FDE to ODE and
vice versa. Finally, we solve several FDE given in literature through the
new approach.

As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt worldwide, the tourism sector was forced to seek ways of reinventing itself. Two decades prior to this crisis, in varied rural areas and island contexts, small-scale, community-based creative tourism had appeared as a sustainable place-making solution to foster place vitality, competitive distinctiveness, regenerative development and destination resilience. From an island perspective, this article presents the theoretical framework, methodological approaches, and empirical practices of the Creatour Azores project, which was carried out in the North Atlantic archipelago of the Azores from 2019-2022. Given this timeframe, the investigators and pilot projects that implemented this research-practice project were confronted with the COVID-19 pandemic, which accentuated the isolation and remoteness that tend to characterize islandscapes, especially peripheral islands such as the Azores. At the same time, however, this devastating global pandemic, which impacted the tourism sector especially, ended up offering unexpected opportunities along with special challenges, seeming to underscore the relevance of studies focused on the isolation and remoteness that characterize islandscapes. After describing the project methodologies and practices, as well as the adjustments adopted due to the pandemic, this article considers future possibilities for creative tourism on islands, in general, and in the Azores.
Paradiplomacy of Jersey: Opportunities and challenges in the post-Brexit era
Authors: Zhao Youlin
Published: April 2023

This paper explores challenges that Jersey faces in the post-Brexit era, and how Jersey can utilize paradiplomacy to overcome obstacles and broaden opportunities. Due to its constitutional status, preexisting international arrangements, and turbulences resulting from Brexit, the Bailiwick of Jersey is in a complicated context. Since May 2021, fishing conflicts have erupted off the coast of Jersey after the Jersey government adopted a post-Brexit fishing licensing scheme that requires French fishing boats to provide data showing they have a history of fishing in Jersey’s waters. On the other hand, Jersey’s export industry is stuck due to the island no longer benefiting from the free movement of goods after Brexit. In future negotiations, Jersey can use paradiplomacy to resolve post-Brexit difficulties. Jersey’s interests will be best served by actively pursuing paradiplomacy with the EU and its members in order to achieve more beneficial trade and fishing arrangements for both parties. Jersey’s paradiplomacy is not synonymous with protodiplomacy. It would be preferable for Jersey to remain under the sovereignty of the UK to maintain the substantial economic advantages and preferential treatment granted by the metropolitan territory.

5. Visual Communication in Cultural Media. The Rashomon Effect in the Image Globalization Paradigm
Authors: Soreanu Cătălin , German Lavinia
Published: April 2023

The nowadays communication paradigm shifts in the context of new media emergence, as we consider the internet and social media as sovereign communicative mediums. From cinema to press, advertising, art, or new-mediatic context, we assist to a global communication process which encompasses both the technological virtues of digitality, and the subjective truths of a collective cultural memory process. Based on the active principle of “the Rashomon effect,” we will investigate the advertising patterns, the news dissemination, and the everyday culture of images, and we will attempt to summarise the outcome of our position as (inter)active players in this globalised media environment. Since we are both creators and consumers of cultural information in the “global village,” we work with a wide array of communication supports which define our very identity as “information matrix processors.” We are creating both the context and the vehicle of this paradigm where the information is the main currency, and the visual communication become a medium by itself which opens a variety of directions of analysis for critical understanding of today’s cultural phenomenon

Authors: Grigoraș Florin
Published: April 2023

Recent research carried out in various fields of knowledge have led to significant results, which are also decisively imposed in the sphere of the arts. These contributions expand not only the area of artistic practices (new means of artistic production are established), but also the range of approaches from art theory, related to these practices. Our study illustrates this fact through a review of the scientific literature: articles, specialized publications, monographs and programmatic documents of some relevant institutions. The complexity of the information constellation in which the practice and theory of art are circumscribed, in the recent period, is thus highlighted, which necessarily leads to new specific requirements regarding the instructional design in the field of arts higher education.
