While computer programs were purely tools for people to perform their creative activities 50 years ago, computer programs today, so called Artificial Intelligence(AI), can create intellectual ...products independently from people. The US has a leading role over all other countries in top-tier AI research, as well as most AI-related patent application filing. Does the US protect such inventions? If not, how does the US deal with liability concerning AI application? How does the development of AI call for intellectual property right law reforms in the US? The paper aims at addressing the above questions. Moreover, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis on AI-related patent in the US in comparison with the Vietnamese legal system. Descriptive legal research, analytical approach, comparison of legislation and case studies are employed in the paper.
Smartness has recently emerged as a desirable characteristic of governments, cities, communities, infrastructures, and devices. Within the public sector, smart city has become a popular term and ...municipal governments around the world are using multiple strategies to become smarter. However, there is no consensus about what smartness means and how to identify its key components or dimensions. Some definitions highlight information technology and data, while others pay attention to sustainability, openness, innovation, or resiliency. Based on a review of current literature, this paper identifies multiple dimensions of smartness and proposes an integrative view that highlights how each dimension contributes to the understanding and development of smart governments. We argue that smartness should be conceptualized in a broad and multifaceted way. The framework we present serves as a foundation to understand and measure smartness in government and provides guidelines for the comprehensive development of smart governments. Some of the dimensions have been identified and studied explicitly in the realm of smart government. A number of other dimensions are embedded in the literature as individual characteristics of a good government; although they are not explicitly referenced in relationship to smart government, we argue that they are important components of a government being smart. The paper also suggests that public managers do not control all dimensions equally. Some dimensions could be seen as relatively direct outputs of their actions, while others could be better understood as outcomes that could be affected, but not solely determined, by strategic interventions or deliberate actions.
The article deals with crossing the borders between artistry (from an aesthetical perspective), management (as a way of efficient organising) and creativity (as a fundamental issue in today’s ...competitive world). After adding an aesthetical lens (theory of aesthetic situation), the opposite areas of artistry, management and creativeness reveal fundamental links and common areas. Creativity, a driving force of human behaviour, should be a crucial element in artistry and management. After analysing the literature, the common denominators of arts, management and creativity are revealed: efficiency, a servant role towards goals, becoming above being, adaptation, and a tendency to drive towards kitsch traps. The particular role of performative arts for the transposition of improvisation and contextual inspiration into management and creativity is also analysed.
The article deals with the role of contextual inspiration and motive in persuasive creativity based on the theory and practice of performative art improvisation (Kaiser, 2018; Nisula, & Kianto, ...2018). This framing and the theory of the aesthetic situation (Gołaszewska, 1984) enable us to arrive at the conclusion that being a persuasive creator requires having a solid and conscious motive and proper trigger in the form of inspiration driven by the environmental context. Furthermore, as the improvisation process does not entail the possibility of its correction or repetition, performative art improvisation offers meaningful insights into understanding persuasive creativity. Therefore, the creator can manage the process of persuasive artistic creativity to achieve goals by understanding the creative process and its phases, realising different motives and appropriate igniting inspirations towards specific audiences, and developing his/her identity as a conscious creator.
Introduction: Creativity is a multi-dimensional structure measured by a variety at methods. Aim: This study has been done with the aim of comparing creativity among hypomanic and highly schizotypal ...with normal individuals.

The sample size was 1570 student were selected Using randomized cluster sampling and completed schizotypy personality questionnaire (Raine & et al 1994) and Hypomania Checklist (Forty & et al 2010) and were divided into 3 groups of normal, highly schizotypal and hypomanic, afterward they completed Abedi Creativity Test (Daemi and Moghimi 2004), Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking Verbal Form B (Torrance, 1988) and drawing with Latin letters (made questionnaire). The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. Results: The results showed that hypomania and highly schizotypy groups (psychosis-prone individuals) obtained significantly higher scores than normal groups in creativity assessment tools. (P<0.05). Conclusion: Schizotypy and Hypomania are related to creativity and the results of this study can be used as on evidence to confirm the relationship between inverted-U creativity and psychopathology.

This book traces the development of British psychoanalyst Marion Milner’s (1900–98) autobiographical acts throughout her lifetime, proposing that Milner is a thinker to whom we can turn to explore ...the therapeutic potentialities of autobiographical and creative self-expression. Milner’s experimentation with aesthetic, self-expressive techniques are a means to therapeutic ends, forming what Emilia Halton-Hernandez calls her "autobiographical cure." This book considers whether Milner’s work champions this site for therapeutic work over that of the relationship between patient and analyst in the psychoanalytic setting. This book brings to light a theory and practice which is latent and sometimes hidden, but which is central to understanding what drives Milner’s autobiographical work. It is by doing this work of elucidation and organisation that Halton-Hernandez finds Milner to be a thinker with a unique take on psychoanalysis, object relations theory, creativity, and autobiography, working at the interstices of each. Divided into two fascinating sections exploring Milner’s distinctive method and the legacy and influence of her work, this book will appeal to psychoanalysts, art therapists, philosophers, and art and literary researchers alike.
