Published: April 2023

The article considers the evolution of methodological approaches and prospects for the use of modern marketing technologies in the development of creative industries in Ukraine. The authors note the emergence of a new concept of economy - creative economy, which forms new economic models, new types of social relations, and, accordingly, the requirements for different management methods, activities, and hence the marketing process. The subject of research is a set of marketing technologies that should be used for the development of creative industries in our country. The purpose of the article is to study the current state and prospects of development of marketing of creative industries in Ukraine. The study was conducted on the basis of system-functional, integrated scientific approaches, using scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, systematization of statistical data, modeling. The following results were obtained. The study confirms the relevance of using SMM-marketing to promote creative industries. All creative industries can use social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to promote, less social networks such as Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. The least functional at the moment is the social network TicTok, this is due to the fact that it is just beginning to be used to promote business. Holding or attending events is an important part of the strategy of attracting sponsors, events help to gather an audience that is interested in your field of activity, product or new opportunities in general.According to the authors, marketing of impressions is the best way to promote creative industries due to its specifics. Given a positive impression, consumers not only return to the institution, but also "advertise" it among their friends and subscribers. Conclusions. The use of modern marketing technologies, such as SMM-marketing, event-marketing and impression marketing, in the promotion of enterprises in the creative sector of the economy gives a competitive advantage, helps to expand the audience and succeed in the market. Thus, in modern conditions of market development, a necessary condition for the existence and development of small and medium enterprises is the formation and implementation of the correct marketing strategy.

Published: April 2023

Taking into account the significant impact of tourism on the development of society and the current crisis, the study of factors affecting the speed of its recovery requires great attention. Previous outbreaks of infectious diseases were smaller in scale, so their impact on international tourism was local. In addition, the current state of society has new circumstances. The subject of the study is the modern factors of recovery of international tourism after COVID-2019. The goal is to study the current features of the recovery of tourism after COVID-2019 and to determine the factors that slow it down. Tasks: research on the importance of international tourism, the impact of COVID-2019 on its development and the identification of negative factors for recovery. The method of systematic review of scientific publications on this topic, as well as informative materials of various international organizations, was used in the research process. The results of calculations of relative indicators of the development of international tourism are presented using a graphical method based on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Research results have shown that international tourism is recovering after COVID-2019 at a rather slow pace. Quarantine measures, the emergence of a new strain of the virus, economic factors and the war in Ukraine are preventing faster recovery. Conclusions: the main risk for the recovery of international tourism is Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, which has a negative impact on the recovery of international tourism due to flight bans, rising oil prices, and disruption of food supply chains. In the near future, this will affect the decrease in incomes of the population and the reduction of the number of jobs and, as a result, the decrease in the tourist flow. The increase in oil prices requires the transition to renewable energy sources and the introduction of energy-saving technologies. This reinforces the need for greening the tourism industry and requires increased investment, as well as the application of a comprehensive policy aimed at increasing the number of international tourists and expanding the use of clean energy.
Policing Architecture: fostering wellbeing through police station [re]design
Authors:   , Cadle Alysha
Published: April 2023

The architecture of New Zealand Police (NZP) stations is in a pivotal place, uniquely positioned to empower, mediate and facilitate interactions between the general public, police staff and vulnerable members of our community including offenders and victims. However, the current police station environments embody outdated policing philosophies, with little spatial reflection of modern community or wellbeing values.

This thesis explores the hypothesis that police station architecture can proactively contribute to wellbeing outcomes desired by police and the community. Using design as a tool, it looks at both the process of design and design outcomes to explore how wellbeing values can be integrated into a built policing environment, historically dominated by technical values of safety, authority, and social control.

The thesis recognises the unique characters of the general public, police staff, detained persons, and vulnerable people as catalysts of wellbeing, and proposes a conceptual police station environment that addresses this. Using an iterative design process, the thesis synthesises design experiments into a culminatory police station building located in Wellington, New Zealand. It reflects on this process and comments on the ability of design to empower communities and NZP to create safer neighbourhoods together.

Published: April 2023

High dimension of the factors, their noisiness, subjectivity of the human factor breed high uncertainty in the implementation of effective monitoring and productive management in the areas of production and consumption, and hinder the optimal decisions making. In these conditions, it is appropriate to apply intelligent data analysis procedures based on artificial neural networks. Purpose of the study is to substantiate the technology for constructing of effective neural network models for automatic assessment of the object states and their control by finding the optimal values of input factors based on the analysis of the initial set of retrospective data. The desired product is set of neural network models for simultaneous assessment of the current object states and the calculation of the input factors values that ensure the achievement of the required objective function indicators. To automate the processes of recognizing the states of the study object and adapting the factors that bring the current state to the target one, a functional dependence of the states and factors is found based on forced learning of a synthesized models ensemble. The proposed technology and technical tools make it possible to automate the processes of classifying the states of the study objects, adapt the input factors to the target states, and evaluate the quality by model testing. The practical significance of the study results is in the creation of a universal toolkit for a whole class of objects in the tasks of automatic state classification and search for input factors space that is adequate to the target state space. Functionally, the ensemble of trained models can be implemented as a data analysis software unit in the format of two subsystems: for recognizing the states of the study object and adapting input factors to target states. Automation of the state classifying tasks and adapting the input set in the proposed technology that is performed on the basis of standard technical data analysis packages, makes it possible to increase the efficiency of decision-making and reduce financial costs in the implementation of industrial and commercial projects.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of mentorship program on professional development of the mentees. This study is guided by case study. The case, in this study, is each of four chemistry teachers who took part in mentorship program as mentees in order to better understand the mentorship program. The data collection tool employed in this study is the reflective journals kept by the mentees throughout the mentorship practice (for eight weeks). Participants filled out reflective journals for evaluation after they completed the lessons (material, lesson plan, etc.) they prepared in the group mentoring sessions held every week. These forms have five questions that might lead mentees to reflect on their implementation of the plans and their professional development in the course of the mentorship program. The data obtained suggest that the mentees had qualified reflections on their current practices as well as future practices. The mentors frequently noted in their weekly reflective journals form that the mentorship program has a positive impact on their teaching methods competencies while implementing the co-designed lessons plans. On the other hand, the most important problem that the mentees uttered is the need for extra time as they could not complete the activities within the planned time frame. In light of the findings, it can be deduced that the mentorship program has improved the professional practices of the mentees.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of the survey conducted with scientific and pedagogical workers of 23 higher education institutions which was aimed at revealing the attitude of scientific and pedagogical workers to student self-government bodies’ activity and its influence on the development of higher education students’ leadership qualities. Emphasis is placed on the relevance of the chosen research subject, determined by the significant impact of student self-government on various aspects of student life in higher education institutions. The extent to which scientific and pedagogical workers of the higher education institutions are informed about the activities of student self-government bodies and their opinion about the leadership qualities of higher education seekers on the basis of a survey of 104 respondents is revealed. The author’s questionnaire consisted of three blocks of questions. The first block made it possible to collect information about the respondents. With the help of the second block, the scientific and pedagogical workers’ awareness of the activities of student self-government bodies was revealed, and in the third, the scientific and pedagogical workers’ assessment of the influence of student self-government bodies on the development of leadership qualities of higher education students was defined. The α-Cronbach reliability coefficient was calculated in order to check the internal consistency of the questionnaire. Based on the statements of the respondents, it was proven that the representatives of the teaching community are familiar with the activities of the student self-government bodies in the higher education institutions according to their place of work and the methods of student self-government. More than half of the surveyed scientific and pedagogical workers consider the influence of student self-government bodies on the organization of the educational process in higher education institutions and the development of leadership qualities of higher education students to be significant. Constructive judgments of the respondents regarding the improvement of student self-governance activities for the successful development of leadership qualities of higher education students are given.
EDUCATIONAL DIALOGUE AS A METHOD OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT OF SCHOOL STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES
Authors: Vaschenko Lidia
Published: April 2023

The article discusses the use of educational dialogue for the organization of formative assessment and assessment discussions. We are talking about educational dialogue as a teaching method, a kind of interpersonal communication in which experience, relevant knowledge and skills are exchanged. The role of educational dialogue in the organization of formative assessment is to create an educational environment in which students develop the ability to reason and solve problems. The research conducted among teachers and students gives reason to conclude that educational dialogue is used in domestic school practice, but it is not widely used for evaluating learning results. Only a third of the interviewed biology teachers admitted that they use dialogues to evaluate the results of educational activities. Half of the teachers who took part in the study believe that they have enough knowledge and practice to organize the assessment. Educational dialogues involve students' ability to ask questions. This skill demonstrates the student's level of awareness of the educational material and is related to the search and processing of information. However, only a third of teachers agreed that they assess students' ability to formulate questions. Half of the biology teachers believe that in their pedagogical practice there is no assessment of students' ability to ask questions. Most students are also convinced that such practice does not exist at school. The results of the survey indicate a difference in the views of teachers and students on assessment during educational dialogues.
The image of Borys Grinchenko and its contexts in Maryana Angelova’s play “The Grinchenko Syndrome”
Authors: Bondareva Olena , Bitkivska Halyna , Bracki Artur
Published: April 2023

The article examines Maryana Angelova’s play “The Grinchenko Syndrome”, which modelled the author’s artistic version of the dystopian transition of the Ukrainian language to the status of “dead” when it is not used all the time, as well as the situation of its recollection and “revival”. The guides of this “reincarnation” of the language are the unique 4-volume Dictionary and its compiler, Borys Grinchenko. It is not by chance that the author labels the genre of the work as “vocabulary drama”. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the problem of a radical revision of the catalogue of personalities, key to Ukrainianism today, is directly related to the development of the decolonial Ukrainian identity, memory studies, and revision of the Ukrainian cultural pantheon, which is difficult to imagine without the figure of Borys Grinchenko, who fits into this pantheon quite sporadically. The subject of the article is the analysis of artistic strategies of non-biographical writing involved in the creation of a biographical image in modern drama, the object of which is the text of Maryana Angelova’s play “The Grinchenko Syndrome”. The goal is primarily to present and interpret an interesting dramatic work. This text, created in 2013, is interpreted from positions relevant for literary studies in 2023, against the background of the war for Ukrainian identity in the face of Russian aggression. The research methodology is based on identity theory, modern Ukrainian memory studies, ecocritical writing theory. The study's novelty can be seen in the fact that the play's text was analyzed for the first time, and ways of studying it were created for philological researchers and modern theatre practitioners. As a result of the research, it was concluded that Maryana Angelova appeals to the ancestral collective linguistic memory of many generations of Ukrainians, creating the polysemantic and polyvariate image of the Dictionary as its meaningful and verbalized territory. She offers many artistic anti-colonial manifestations, centred around repressed Ukrainian letters, forgotten meanings, dead words, dictionary pages forever destroyed by censorship, backward language, linguicide, and xenoglossy coma. The 4-volume dictionary is mentioned more frequently in the play than its biographical compiler. Instead, the image of Borys Grinchenko himself, while retaining several biographical micro-plots, essentially loses its actual biographical character and acquires the mythological features of the “heavenly Grinchenko” — the “ancestor” of the modern Ukrainian linguistic personality.
The Use of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Technologies in Teaching Foreign Languages
Authors: Rudnik Yuliia
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to analyzing the educational potential of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies in teaching foreign languages, specifically in the professional training of future teachers. The possibility and benefits of introducing AR technologies in the system of teachers’ professional training are based on the experience of the discipline «Modern Technologies of Teaching a Foreign Language to Preschool Children», which is taught during the first (bachelor's) level of education to students of the 012 Preschool Education Specialty at the Faculty of Pedagogical Education in Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. The literature analysis and the description of the empirical experience of the interaction and implementation of AR and VR technologies in the course content are the major research methods used in this article. The article performs an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of AR and VR technologies in foreign language teaching. The didactic potential of both aforementioned technologies is identified, including the improved learning environment, increased motivation, interaction, and content retention, the richness of multimedia modes, better visualization, and suitability for special learning needs. The article emphasizes the influence on multiple language skills and vocabulary development (vocabulary acquisition, phonics, pronunciation, comprehension, writing, reading, speaking, improved communication, and general learning skills). The data received proves the suitability and benefits of implementing current AR technologies in the professional training of future teachers and language teaching in general, as opposed to VR technologies that are limited due to their drawbacks that outweigh their current advantages, but still allow them to be considered a very powerful tool in the near future. Still, their partial accessibility by learners gives them the right to be used in terms of the realization of individual approaches. As a result of this article, a list of AR and VR technologies that could be used in foreign language teaching is revealed. The perspective of future research could focus on the analysis of specific technologies from AR or VR groups

Business Cards: Rolodex Half-Life, An Exposed Life Told in Cards
Authors: Zárate Salvador
Published: April 2023

This contribution to the “Housewife’s Secret Arsenal” intimately explores the domestication of toxicity through two pieces of material culture: a Bracero Program (1942–1964) identification card and a residential gardening business card. Both cards belonged to my father. I use these cards to tell how my father’s access to the domestic space of the nation’s agriculture fields and into the domestic exterior space of people’s gardens in Southern California was predicated on his availability to chemical exposure as a racialized body. In the wake of my father’s death from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, both images have been reworked and reimagined with a ghostly imprint of a saturating but barely visible history of toxic exposure. I have reworked each card by adding the chemical compounds for DDT and glyphosate. This entry seeks to query how the domestication of war and toxicity accumulates more for certain bodies and how these histories of exposure might also be reworked to imagine otherwise foreclosed forms of sociality and memory.
This essay is a part of the Roundtable called “The Housewife’s Secret Arsenal” (henceforth HSA); a collection of eight object-oriented engagements focusing on particular material instantiations of domesticated war. The title of this roundtable is deliberately tongue-in-cheek reminding readers of the many ways that militarisms can be invisible to their users yet persistent in the form of mundane household items that aid in the labor of homemaking. Juxtaposing the deliberately stereotyped “housewife” with the theater of war raises questions about the quiet migration of these objects and technologies from battlefield to kitchen, or bathroom, or garden. Gathered together as an “arsenal,” their uncanny proximity to one another becomes a key critical tool in asking how war comes to find itself at home in our lives.
Scripting Consenting Fictions in Sex Techology Imaginaries
Authors: Nguyen Josef
Published: April 2023

This article examines how the intended and implied uses and users of emerging commercial sex technologies negotiate understandings of sexual consent as a social fiction articulated as contractual-yet-contingent autonomy and transactional access that is framed as a prerequisite obstacle to sexual gratification. To do so, I analyze the design and marketing of consent-recording applications and sex robots programmed to refuse consent. I draw on science and technology studies, media studies, and feminist and queer theory to investigate both how sexual consent is imaginatively scripted into digital technologies and how imagined digital technologies suggest that we approach and value sexual consent. My analysis foregrounds critical readings of the design imaginaries of promissory digital technologies—speculatively suggested through design and marketing materials—to situate them within cultural politics of consent and digital technology as they express desires for specific worldbuilding fantasies about gender and sex.
