Design Thinking Scale Development: Assessing Reliability and Validity
Authors: Ergin Atilla , Diker Coskun Yelkin 
Published: August 2024

This study aims to develop a scale to measure the design thinking process and to evaluate the reliability and validity of this scale. It fills this gap by introducing a 36-item scale specifically designed to measure design thinking abilities across the five key stages of the design thinking process: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test, to provide an accurate assessment of individual abilities across these stages. Aligned with the well-established design thinking process, the scale comprises five sub-dimensions, each focused on a specific stage. It employs a 5-point Likert-type response format, ensuring nuanced feedback. Rigorous psychometric evaluations confirmed the scale's trustworthiness. Internal consistency within each sub-dimension was exceptional, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients exceeding .80 across all stages. Remarkably, the overall scale achieved an outstanding .95 Cronbach's alpha, signifying unparalleled cohesiveness and reliability. Validity was further established through rigorous statistical analyses. Exploratory component analysis (EFA) accounted for 60% of the variance, confirming the structure and demonstrating strong item-to-factor loadings (ranging from .31 to .74). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided additional validation, with all fit indices exceeding established benchmarks, solidifying the scale's accuracy and applicability. Beyond these impressive psychometric qualities, the study offers several key advantages. The concise 36-item format ensures efficient administration and analysis, while the five distinct sub-dimensions allow for targeted evaluation of specific strengths and weaknesses within each stage. This detailed feedback holds immense value for researchers, educators, and professionals seeking to cultivate design thinking capabilities in diverse settings. By providing a validated and reliable tool for design thinking assessment, this study empowers a comprehensive understanding of individual strengths and weaknesses across the five critical stages. This, in turn, enables targeted interventions and fosters the development of effective design-thinking skills in various contexts.
Unsterbliche Werte: Über Historizität und Historisierung
Authors: Trüper Henning 
Published: August 2024

Eine neue Erschließung des Zusammenhangs von Geschichtlichkeit, Moral und Wert Was soll es bedeuten, dass etwas geschichtlich ist und nicht nur vergangen? Diese nur scheinbar harmlose Frage führt in ein Labyrinth verschiedener Antworten. Hier tut sich eine oft behauptete und ebenso oft bestrittene Beziehung von Geschichtlichkeit und Unsterblichkeit als Leitlinie auf. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert entsteht auf eher zufällige Weise eine Ideenkonstellation, in der die Unsterblichkeit der menschlichen Gattung und der einzelnen menschlichen Seele gegeneinander ausgespielt, kombiniert oder auch gemeinsam abgewiesen werden. Erschließbar durch Lektüren geschichtsphilosophischer Beiträge von Leibniz, Nietzsche, Benjamin und anderen, scheint sich für das 20. Jahrhundert zunächst abzuzeichnen, dass die Verschränkung von (Un-)Sterblichkeitsbehauptungen verschwunden ist. Doch tatsächlich hat sie sich vor allem verwandelt und verlagert. Insbesondere zeigt sich im modernen Verständnis von Normen als in die Unsterblichkeit überführten Werten ein unterschwelliger Fortbestand der älteren Konstellation. Die Studie erarbeitet eine neuartige Konzeption von Historizität, Historisierung und deren Zusammenhängen in kulturellen Erscheinungen wie der Totenfürsorge, des Humanitarismus und der Lebensrettung. Damit lassen sich zeitgenössische Welt- und Krisendeutungen bis hin zu derjenigen des Anthropozäns neu erklären.

Decarbonisation and the Structural Challenges of the Neoliberal State: The Case of the Coal Region in Slovakia
Authors: Filčák Richard , Škobla Daniel 
Published: August 2024

The transformation of the regional economy after the closure of the coal mines can be analysed from Joseph Schumpeter's perspective as a creative destruction and industrial mutation from the "old" to the "new". Policy narratives of decarbonisation operate with the goals of revolutionising the economic structure into a new climate-resilient system that will resurrect regional development and provide new employment opportunities. However, such a process faces multiple challenges as it confronts neoliberal state policies, globalisation, market competition and multiple structural barriers at different levels. In this study, we analyse the Horná Nitra coal region in Slovakia, where the government, with the support of the European Union, has decided to close the coal mines in 2023. The transformation of the regional economy from post-World War II industrialisation has been driven by political pressure and purposeful government spending supporting the development of more decentralised economic structures, based primarily on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Building on quantitative and qualitative research, the article focuses on mapping and analysing the structural obstacles and possible factors supporting the transition. In doing so, this article illustrates the possibilities but also the limitations of targeted interventions in the context of neoliberalism and describes the limits to balancing the social and economic risks that transformation entails.

Direct Calculations of the Dielectric and Optical Parameters of Some Compound Semiconductors: A Study Using the Lorentz Oscillator and Wemple-DiDomenico Models
Authors: Abboudy S. , Alfaramawi K. , Abulnasr L. , Hefny Basma K. 
Published: August 2024

The Lorentz single oscillator model is widely utilized to describe the electron-phonon interaction in solids. The use of this model to calculate the dielectric function and optical parameters of compound semiconductors represents a novel approach in materials science which may lead to develop new materials with tailored optical properties and consequently can offer vast applications in areas such as quantum computing and quantum information processing. This work presents direct calculations of the complex dielectric function and some optical parameters, such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, and reflectivity for some selected III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors using Lorentz oscillator model. The dielectric and optical dispersion parameters among the infrared and visible electromagnetic spectra follows the so-called Transmission-Absorption-Reflection-Transmission (TART) trend. The TART curve provides information about how a material interacts with light at different wavelengths, which is crucial for understanding and optimizing various optoelectronic devices. Moreover, dielectric loss functions such as loss tangent, surface energy loss function and volume energy loss function are investigated. The refractive index dispersion is analyzed using Wemple–DiDomenico single effective oscillator model and Sellmeier equation. The energy of the effective single oscillator (Eo) and the dispersion energy (Ed) are estimated.

The artstic research as a journey experience
Authors: Gomes F.R.B. 
Published: August 2024

Este ensayo propone reflexiones acerca de la posibilidad de pensar la investigación artística como una experiencia de viaje. Con esta analogía, se intenta estudiar los aspectos importantes acerca del proceso creativo de las personas artistas como un recorrido en busca de nuevas perspectivas y autodescubrimiento. Considerar la investigación artística como un viaje es destacar la relevancia del desarrollo investigativo-creativo, ya que centra la atención en vivenciar, experimentar, aprender y encontrar caminos diversos con el intuito de enriquecer tanto las obras de arte, como la producción de conocimientos y las experiencias de las personas investigadoras. Cada obra producida durante la investigación puede ser vista como un testimonio del itinerario del viaje. La investigación artística entendida como viaje invita a las personas artistas a abrazar la aventura, a explorar con curiosidad y a permitir la fluidez de la creatividad, generando un ciclo continuo de aprendizajes y descubrimientos.
This essay proposes reflections on the possibility of considering artistic research as a journey. With this analogy, an attempt is made to study important aspects of the creative process of artists as a journey in search of new perspectives and self-discovery. Considering artistic research as a journey highlights the relevance of the investigative-creative development, as it focuses on experiencing, experimenting, learning, and exploring diverse paths with the aim of enriching both artworks and the production of knowledge, as well as the experiences of the researchers. Each work produced during the research can be seen as a testimony of the journey's itinerary. Artistic research understood as a journey invites artist to embrace the adventure, explore with curiosity, and allow the fluidity of creativity, generating a continuous cycle of learning and discoveries.
Ramblings and fixations to work with a naked libertarian. José Pérez Ocaña (Ocaña)
Authors: Pineda R.R. , Rigo J.M.P. 
Published: August 2024

Encarnando adjetivos como histriónico, ácrata, provocador y fugaz, José Pérez Ocaña (Ocaña) (1947–1983) se erige, desde su creación artística, como una de las figuras públicas más evidentes del proto-movimiento LGTBIQ+ en la Barcelona y la España del posfranquismo. A partir de su contextualización geográfica e histórica, así como de la narración de su trayectoria vital de manera rizomática, las autorías del texto tratan de: 1) componer un retrato tentativo de Ocaña, hecho de interrelaciones de conceptos (como arte-vida y arte-sujeto); 2) reflexionar sobre su validez como creador poliédrico (performer, actor de teatrillo y pintor naíf) de referencia, haciendo énfasis en sus contradicciones; y 3) traerlo al presente como herramienta de trabajo en una pedagogía del arte contemporáneo que explore conceptos de diversidad, subalternidad, proximidad y honestidad. Las autorías concluyen con argumentos para activar la figura de Ocaña, libertario y desnudo, desde una memoria histórica activa, para contestar visiones actuales de la cultura que muestran tintes neorrancios.
Embodying adjectives such as histrionic, anarchist, provocative, and fugacious, José Pérez Ocaña (Ocaña) (1947–1983) stands, from his artistic creation, as one of the most evident public figures of the proto-LGTBIQ+ movement in the post-Francoist Barcelona and Spain. Contextualizing his figure geographically and historically, while narrating in a rhizomatic way, the authors of this text aim: 1) to compose a tentative portrait of Ocaña, made of interrelationships of concepts (such as art-life and art-subject); 2) to reflect on his validity as a multifaceted creator (performer, theatre actor and naïve painter) of reference, emphasizing his contradictions; and 3) to bring it to the present, as a working tool in a pedagogy of contemporary art that explores concepts of diversity, subalternity, proximity and honesty. The authors conclude with arguments to activate the figure of Ocaña, libertarian and naked, from an active historical culture perspective, in order talk back current visions of culture that show neo[1]rancid overtones.

History and dynamics of Fennoscandian Ice Sheet retreat, contemporary ice-dammed lake evolution, and faulting in the Torneträsk area, northwestern Sweden
Authors: Ploeg Karlijn , Stroeven Arjen Peter 
Published: August 2024

Abstract. The prospect of alarming levels of future sea level rise in response to the melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets affirms an urgency to better understand the dynamics of these retreating ice sheets. The history and dynamics of the ephemeral ice sheets of the Northern Hemisphere, such as the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, reconstructed from glacial geomorphology, can thus serve as a useful analogue. The recent release of a 1 m LiDAR-derived national elevation model reveals an unprecedented record of the glacial geomorphology in Sweden. This study aims to offer new insights and precision regarding ice retreat in the Torneträsk region of northwestern Sweden, and the influence of ice-dammed lakes and faulting on the dynamics of the ice sheet margin during deglaciation. Using an inversion model, mapped glacial landforms are ordered in swarms representing spatially and temporally coherent ice sheet flow systems. Ice-dammed lake traces such as raised shorelines, perched deltas, spillways, and outlet channels, are particularly useful for pin-pointing precise locations of ice margins. A strong topographic control on retreat patterns is evident, from ice sheet disintegration into separate lobes in the mountains to orderly retreat in low-relief areas. Eight ice-dammed lake stages are outlined for the Torneträsk Basin, the lowest of which yield lake extents more extensive than previously identified. The three youngest stages released a total of 26 km3 of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) through Tornedalen, changing the valley morphology and depositing thick deltaic sequences in Ancylus Lake at its highest postglacial shoreline at around 10 cal ka BP. The Pärvie Fault, the longest-known glacially-induced fault in the Sweden, offsets the six oldest lake stages in the Torneträsk Basin. Cross-cutting relationships between glacial landforms and fault scarp segments are indicative of the Pärvie Fault rupturing multiple times during the last deglaciation and, indeed, before deglaciation. Precise dating of the two bracketing raised shorelines or the ages of the corresponding GLOF sediments would pinpoint the age of this rupture of the Pärvie Fault. Collectively, this study provides data for better understanding the history and dynamics of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet during final retreat, such as interactions with ice-dammed lakes and rupture or re-activation of faults through glacial isostatic adjustment.
