Organizations underperform, or fail, when members do not partner with managers (through subtle resistance, disagreement, protest, or walk-out) to achieve common purpose. A manager boosts partnering not with a pretense of leadership but with a nuanced balance of managerial authority and understanding of members’ point of view. The main objective of this article is to sharpen attention on the concept of partnership with organization members and how it relates to some of the important previous literature. We also provide our perspectives on how some of the previous work attributes to misconceptions related to these concepts. Our raison d'etre is forward looking: the dangerous societal and cultural differences clearly evident in the world, differences that surround management’s decisions that may induce an overuse of authority to quash disquiet. Using our experiences in both industry and academia, we argue that the activating link between managers and members is leadership, not “leadership” thought of as directional and inspirational, but leadership as building a relationship toward common purpose through partnership. “Lead” and “leader” are sorely misused, and worse, substituting “leader” for “manager” is just plain wrong. We believe that a leader is not a leader until followers agree to follow, not when the manager steps forward energetically with direction. Managers are cheated by mistaken definitions. Reviewing past perspectives about what makes “good” leaders and managers, we rethink ways to enhance organizational harmony particularly through a clearer understanding of managership, leadership, followership, and partnership. We discuss how managers and members thinking and acting as partners in “common purpose” is the core of success in organization endeavors.

In this paper, we study how to learn a harmonious deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based lane-changing strategy for autonomous vehicles without Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication support. The basic framework of this paper can be viewed as a multi-agent reinforcement learning in which different agents will exchange their strategies after each round of learning to reach a zero-sum game state. Unlike cooperation driving, harmonious driving only relies on individual vehicles' limited sensing results to balance overall and individual efficiency. Specifically, we propose a well-designed reward that combines individual efficiency with overall efficiency for harmony, instead of only emphasizing individual interests like competitive strategy. Testing results show that competitive strategy often leads to selfish lane change behaviors, anarchy of crowd, and thus the degeneration of traffic efficiency. In contrast, the proposed harmonious strategy can promote traffic efficiency in both free flow and traffic jam than the competitive strategy. This interesting finding indicates that we should take care of the reward setting for reinforcement learning-based AI robots (e.g., automated vehicles) design, when the utilities of these robots are not strictly in alignment.

PurposeWith the increasing digitalization processes taking place in different industries, the success of family small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) appears to be more under threat than for any other types of organizations, especially when information technologies (ITs) are not adequately used and managed. To grow and increase the chances of survival, family SMEs need more than ever IT. Stemming from agency theory, the aim of this article is to understand whether family harmony impacts the performance of family SMEs and to what extent IT mediates this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe research follows a quantitative approach, based on a sample of 182 family SMEs. Structured equation modeling, through SmartPLS, was employed to validate the research model.FindingsThis study’s main findings suggest that family harmony positively impacts firm performance and that IT governance and strategy mediate positively this relationship.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, the relatively limited number of respondents limits the degree of representativeness of all family SMEs. Replicating the research with a larger number of respondents could strengthen the findings. Second, this study is limited to French firms and future research could extend the findings by looking at cross-country comparisons.Practical implicationsFamily SMEs are encouraged to link their IT governance with their IT strategy in order to increase their organizational performance. A favorable family harmony will make it easier to choose and implement a richer IT strategy and put in place an adequate IT governance function.Originality/valueThis research offers an enriched knowledge of the roles of family harmony and technological innovation in family SMEs and IT contexts as significant predictors of organizational performance. It contributes to family firm theory through the identification of three determinants of family SMEs' performance.

Knowledge exchange is the key to help knowledge-intensive firms (KIFs) innovate and communicate with their clients. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many assumptions have been challenged, and as a consequence, this study aims to investigate the effect of the pandemic on knowledge exchange processes in KIFs and how firms responded to the pressing challenges that consequently emerged. This study illustrates how KIFs managed to navigate through the pandemic and exchanged knowledge with their clients in a new dynamic landscape despite the challenges that affected their client base and knowledge workers alike. Using multiple data sources, including 27 interviews, observation, informal conversations, and virtual guided tours, the article provides a three-phase framework with the assistance of a simplified process lens. The framework phases (disharmony, normalisation, and harmony) illustrate how KIFs responded to the challenges, developed capabilities, and provided support.

Diabetes is one of the four major non-communicable diseases, and appointed by the world health organization as the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. The scientists have turned over every rock in the corners of medical sciences in order to come up with better understanding and hence more effective treatments of diabetes. The continuous research on the subject has elucidated the role of immune disorders and inflammation as definitive factors in the trajectory of diabetes, assuring that blood glucose adjustments would result in a relief in the systemic stress leading to minimizing inflammation. On a parallel basis, microbial infections usually take advantage of immunity disorders and propagate creating a pro-inflammatory environment, all of which can be reversed by antimicrobial treatment. Standing at the crossroads between diabetes, immunity and infection, we aim in this review at projecting the interplay between immunity and diabetes, shedding the light on the overlapping playgrounds for the activity of some antimicrobial and anti-diabetic agents. Furthermore, we focused on the anti-diabetic drugs that can confer antimicrobial or anti-virulence activities.

This research focused on the Nyangahatn ritual in Dayak Kanayatn indigenous people in West Kalimantan. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach with an emphasis on literature study. This paper uses the cultural theory, human ecology, and Disaster Mitigation and shows that there is a connection between those theories in Nyangahatn people’s rituals. Nyangahatn ritual related to the cultivation practices carried out based on the rice planting cycle. The results showed that the Nyangahatn ritual is a pearl of local wisdom, which is an effort in mitigating and adapting to disasters, especially regarding the planting and harvesting seasons. Forests or land cleared for cultivation are very calculated to avoid degradation and air sources. The Kanayatn Dayak indigenous people are very understanding about natural signs. In the process of land clearing for agriculture, it is essential to consider the ​​​​land area is to be planted so that it does not disturb the forest ecosystem.

Purpose This study aims to investigate an underexplored behavioral factor, knowledge hiding, that connects employees’ perceptions of organizational politics (POP) with their diminished promotability, while also considering the moderating role of employees’ harmony motives in this process. Design/methodology/approach The research hypotheses are tested with multisource, three-round data collected among employees and their supervisors. Findings Employees’ beliefs about self-serving organizational decision-making increase their propensity to hide knowledge, which, in turn, diminishes their promotability. This intermediate role of knowledge hiding is more prominent when their disintegration avoidance motive is strong but less prominent when their harmony enhancement motive is strong. Practical implications A refusal to share knowledge with organizational colleagues, as a covert response to POP, can create a negative cycle for employees. They are frustrated with decision-making practices that are predicated on favoritism, but by choosing seemingly subtle ways to respond, they compromise their own promotion prospects. To avoid this escalation, employees should adopt an active instead of passive approach toward maintaining harmony in their work relationships. Originality/value This research contributes to extant research by detailing a hitherto overlooked reason that employees’ frustrations with dysfunctional politics may escalate into an enhanced probability to miss out on promotion opportunities. They respond to this situation by engaging in knowledge hiding. As an additional contribution, this study details how the likelihood of this response depends on employees’ harmony motives.

In general, the evolution of values in crisis conditions ensures the development of the person himself with all his needs, which leads to an understanding of the common good and the humanistic dimension of being.

The power of “the grapevine” to create its own organizational content is real. Ignoring its importance to staff members can be detrimental to employee satisfaction, patient outcomes and organizational goal attainment. Intentional deployment of authentic leadership skills can minimize its potentially negative effects. The nurse leader can coexist in harmony with the informal communication networks, harnessing their power to benefit the staff, patients, and the communities they serve.

Purpose of the article is to turn to the analysis of event practices as an effective tool of public relations for the conceptual understanding of its value potential, which is expressed in communication, contacts, in the harmony of man with the world around him. Methodology is based on the application of general scientific and special methods of cognition, including methods of generalization, synthesis, and analytics, which allow studying event practices as an effective means of social communication. Scientific novelty. Currently, there is a lack of scientific analysis of the key role of domestic event practices in the general system of public relations. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the theoretical generalization of the problem and the definition of categorical statements related to the research topic. Conclusions. As a result of the research, the need to form a new Ukrainian culture of self-realization of individuals, which is due to fundamentally new modifications of socio-cultural institutions, among which the latest event practices used in modern public relations. The impact of PR-methods can be both negative and positive. The nature and functional purpose of these methods depends in general on those who manage and own the technology and their practical implementation. As a result, the role of some PR - technologies in society, to a greater extent, is defined by us as the manipulation of the consciousness of citizens, the role of others - as enlightenment. Due to significant civilizational, technical and technological progress, including the development of the media, the transformation of event technologies in the world and Ukraine has accelerated. Event practices shape public opinion in various cultural spheres and promote positive changes in the mass consciousness. The transition of an essential component of the structure of event practices into a virtualized space will be the essence of the culture of the future. With the development of visual technology, events have acquired new functions - they have become an instrument of political and ideological struggle, a weapon of rebellion, a form of shock, which is an effective tool of modern public relations. This trend, accordingly, increases the role of event practices in the cultural process and in general in public life, stimulates the interest of scientists in their further research.

The article reveals the peculiarities of the use of conceptual provisions of music education in the artistic and educational space of the new Ukrainian school; the content of historically formed concepts of music education is revealed; the reformist requirements of the new Ukrainian school for the development of artistic and educational space were revealed. Through sensory, rational and emotional-image influence, the artistic-educational space forms the aesthetic consciousness of students, models the image of the world, attitude to nature, culture and people. In different periods of development of art pedagogy the conceptualization of music education was carried out by figures of Ukrainian and foreign culture E. Jacques-Dalcroze, Z. Zhovchak, D. Kabalevsky, Z. Kodai, K. Orff, O. Rostovsky, O. Rudnytska, V. Shatska, B. Yavorsky and others. In the process of historical and pedagogical development, the problem of music education has undergone certain modifications: from the priority of the idea of music education in addressing the national folklore heritage using relative solmization (according to Z. Koday) and the requirement to connect music education with vital needs and demands. child, the general educational purpose of the formation of vital competencies as personally acquired abilities. The reform called "New Ukrainian School" conceptualizes the ideas of modern art education: focus on the student's personality, creating an artistic and educational environment to provide students with opportunities for self-knowledge, self-development, acquisition of vital competencies, opportunities to learn about the world and communicate with language and music. art. The process of music education in primary school forms the student's ability to perceive, understand and create music, develops a sensual attitude to the world in alternative definitions of harmony, order, rhythm – chaos, beautiful – ugly, tragic – comic; high, valuable – low, low, insignificant; true, truthful – deceptive, false, etc.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the artistic and stylistic features of men's costumes in R. Balayan film "Flights in Dreams and Reality" (Polyoty vo sne i nayavu) as significant for Ukrainian cinema and design of the 1970s-1980s. The proposed research contributes to the history of costume in cinema, considering it as an object of design in the context of the 1970s-1980s fashion, world and domestic cultural paradigm. Methodology. Work on the chosen topic involves the following theoretical methods: an analytical research method for generalization and delineation of issues; comparative analysis to identify the features of men's costume in cinema in the context of domestic and world cultural heritage; the art history method will serve to understand the contribution of the visual series in the film to modern design and culture in general. The scientific novelty of the study is to explain the correlation of men's costume in cinema and the fashion mainstream of the late 1970s - early 1980s on the example of the film "Flights in Dreams and Reality". It should be noted that previously the analysis of R. Balayan's work was primarily directed to find the origins of visual imagery and its semantic content; the place and role of costumes in his films, the socio-cultural context in which they were created were not previously considered in detail. Despite the numerous bibliography of materials devoted to the work of R. Balayan and especially "Flights…" (Может нужно было полное название "Flights in Dreams and Reality") which covered the most various artistic aspects, still such as an important component of R. Balayan's films as the costume has been practically ignored. Conclusions. Understanding of the role of costumes in domestic cinema on the example of the film "Flights in Dreams and Reality", which reflects not only the visual part of the film but also the cultural and artistic context of the film, gives a new starting point for studying the history of men's costume and its contribution to modern fashion. The laconism and harmony of figurative solutions of the 1970s experience their last years of popularity in the early 1980s, right before their disappearance, giving us an example of the perfect combination of simple form and deep filling, which can serve as an example to follow in modern men's clothing design.

There was a long way from the first police officer courses organized in 1946 to the National Public Service University. A number of difficult questions have to be answered in the process of founding a law enforcement school. They range from the entry requirements through designating training levels to distribution of appropriate shares between theory and practice. Searching the route is on the agenda even today. The perspective of police academy education has a starting point according to which training of law enforcement officers requires an institutional system transferring the internal world of police agencies into the Alma Mater. As opposed to that, education of the leading intelligentsia of law enforcement has to search for a harmony between university autonomy and the strict regime of policing organs. The study gives an overview of these options

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to suggest that, to build a digital sustainable society, core terminal and instrumental values of sustainability and sustainable development should be followed across different worldviews, and in the formulation of policies or other initiatives form private and public stakeholders. These values are normative, they support the coordination of efforts of different stakeholders and can serve as guidelines for driving the development trajectory of technologies contributing to a sustainable society. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper defines digital sustainability from the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development. From the Rio Process (1992), through the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), this paper analyzes and theoretically discusses the intersection between digital aspects of human life and wider sustainability concerns for humanity and the planet. Technologies and digital processes are functional catalysts to the achievement of the UN 2030 SDGs and crucial for individuals’ everyday life, but their adoptions is also conditional to a variety of conflicting worldviews. Findings This paper focused on the role of digital technologies in innovation and transformation and their impact on the environment, individuals, society and economy, from a theoretical point of view. Digital technologies have changed the way in which people communicate, study, work, interact and even look for friends, relationships and love. It is, therefore, important to reflect upon the impact that this revolution would have on the individuals and on the wider socio-economic, political and environment context. In this vein, this paper attempted to reflect on the sustainability of this revolution, by sketching the concept of digital sustainability drawing upon the concept of sustainability. Originality/value Digital sustainability – like sustainability – relies on three universal values: equality, harmony, self-determination. In fact, to be sustainable, the use of digital technologies should be led by the equality value, namely, the need to not compromise the future generations, both in terms of exploitation of natural resources to produce them and in terms of to create and nor reduce job opportunities for future generations. Second, digital technologies might help tackling both the ecological and social crises through a universal collaboration according to the harmony’s value. Finally, the third value for digital sustainability is self-determination. It applies to individuals and social formations and it refers to the capability of being in control of your destiny.

This paper introduces narratives in entrepreneurial ecosystems as drivers of effectuation vs. causation. Drawing on 43 interviews with successful players in Silicon Valley, Munich, and Singapore, we found ecosystem-specific narratives indicate what is common, appropriate, and successful in each ecosystem, and these narratives encourage either effectuation or causation. Our findings indicate that the narratives in the ecosystem in Silicon Valley facilitate effectuation, in Munich causation, and in Singapore a cautious balance of both. Our research suggests that narratives can explain mechanisms how ecosystems influence entrepreneurship: the national culture, market characteristics, available resources, and networks in an ecosystem spark ecosystem-specific narratives, which in turn shape tendencies towards effectuation and causation. Thereby, we introduce a new ecosystem-focused perspective on predictors of effectuation and causation. The ecosystems in Silicon Valley, Munich, and Singapore spark different narratives about entrepreneurship, which indicate what is common, appropriate, and successful in the ecosystem and in turn encourage different kinds of entrepreneurial approaches. We conducted 43 interviews with successful players in Silicon Valley, Munich, and Singapore. We found ecosystem-specific narratives indicate what is common, appropriate, and successful in an ecosystem and encourage different kinds of entrepreneurial behavior and decision-making. Those narratives seem to shape tendencies towards specific strategic logics. The narratives either encourage “effectuation” (i.e., when they focus on building partnerships and utilizing the networks, and when they encourage confidence and speed) or “causation” (i.e., when they focus on developing systematics and structured plans, and when they encourage harmony and conformity). Narratives in Silicon Valley seem to facilitate effectuation, in Munich causation, and in Singapore both. Our research suggests that narratives explain mechanisms how ecosystems influence entrepreneurship: the national culture, market characteristics, available resources, and networks in an ecosystem spark ecosystem-specific narratives, which in turn shape tendencies towards effectuation and causation. Thereby, we introduce a new ecosystem-focused perspective on predictors of effectuation and causation. Our findings suggest specific strategies and success factors in each ecosystem. For example, the narratives prevalent in Silicon Valley have a sales focus, in Munich a need for detailed plans, and in Singapore value conformity. Thus, our findings provide insights for entrepreneurs for strategic location choices and on how to position their new venture at a specific location. VCs and policy makers gain from insights into how to leverage strengths and how to counteract problematic mechanisms in an ecosystem.

The phenomenon of infographics as a visual strategy to attract readers of digital newspapers in order to realize the importance of the protocol issued by WHO and the government of the Republic of Indonesia in an effort to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, is currently quite prevalent by online media press. The visual form of infographics published by the digital-based press (online) is usually derived to accompany the main article on the front page (headline). The important message of the infographic that is prioritized is not to spread quickly, namely by maintaining social distancing, encouraging work at home, and always maintaining cleanliness and wearing a mask when leaving the house, even then with restrictions. How the form of visual communication design in the form of an infographic is able to provide aesthetic appeal in visual rhetoric to readers who will be the attention of this study.

The availability of the accounting and other records of a religious communal society (the Harmony Society) provides for a study that adds to the literature on accounting in religious organizations, a need highlighted in Carmona and Ezzamel’s article in Accounting History that discusses: (1) the unique spiritual dimension of religious institutions and its impact on accounting, and (2) the ‘sacred/profane divide’ (p. 122). The Harmonists’ communal beliefs were derived from Biblical interpretations and were necessitated by the need for shared labor and resources. Harmonists’ accounting records were sophisticated but did not account for labor costs provided by members. The interplay of these beliefs and the greed of the leaders impacted the group’s accounting system and created a spiritual/profane divide. The study explores the interplay between the role of accounting and the community’s beliefs and goals.

Introduction: As the COVID-19 spread across the world, many activities had to adapt to the new challenging scenario, involving new safety measures such as strategies of social isolation. Since professional sports have a considerable potential of causing agglomerations, they also had their competitions suspended or postponed. However, as the situation lasted longer than previously expected, there was a necessity to get these tournaments resumed with adaptations. So that could happen safely and in agreement with the current moment, the creation of effective protocols and in harmony with the medical guidelines became essential. Objective: To compare the protocols published by the institutions of some professional sports events and leagues and to point possible contributions that can be given by the medicine, especially sports medicine at a COVID-19 pandemic scenario. Methods: This is a narrative review made in two research phases: in databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scielo) and in official sites and wide visibility daily journals. The data were collected during 2020 August. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), National Basketball Association (NBA) and Confederacao Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) protocols were selected. Results: Different strategies established by the institutions against COVID-19s dissemination were found. UEFA and NBA converged with the strict rules’ definition for the players and staff members isolation, virus testing guidelines and teams transfer between games. These resources, however, were not present in CBF’s politics, since the organization did not follow the same rigidity. The organizations, nevertheless, had one common proposition: the crowd suspension during the games. Besides that, in both protocols, the athletes’ physical integrity issue was not approached. Conclusion: The organizations’ measures focused on control of the virus transmission and the safety of all involved during COVID-19’s pandemic, that demonstrates a cooperative work and a close medical participation with the sports community. Either way, a better clinical perspective in muscular health and athletes’ immunity was demonstrated necessary.

In recent decades, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has become a powerful forum for trade liberalization and regulatory harmonization. OECD members have worked to reconcile divergent national regulatory approaches, applying a single framework across sovereign states, in effect determining whose knowledge-making practices would guide regulatory action throughout the industrialized world. Focusing on US regulators, industry associations, and environmental groups, this article explores the participatory politics of OECD chemical regulation harmonization in the late 1970s to early 1980s. These efforts were conditioned by differential institutional access and resources among stakeholders who sought to shape regulatory knowledge rules. Facing competing European and US approaches to chemical data—a minimum “base set” of test data versus case-by-case determinations—OECD members chose the European approach in 1980. However, US regulatory politics shifted with the election of President Reagan, prompting industry associations to lobby the US government to block the agreement. Examining the micropolitics of these standards in the making, I demonstrate that while long-term structures advantaged industrial actors, ideological alignment with the US government precipitated their decisive influence. The case illustrates the importance of attending to the distinctive politics of international harmonization and the effects on transnational knowledge-making and regulatory intervention.

Mass customization (MC) is recognized as a new manufacturing paradigm for market competition, and several empirical studies have discussed elements of organizational structure that are conducive to MC. A previous study proposed a model of quality at source and identified cultural values that can be changed by cultural artifacts, such as the stop-the-line system and the Andon system. This paper explores the impacts of three groups of MC enabler variables (personalized design, modular design, and automated processes) on two internal dimensions of organizational culture (work cooperation and relationship harmony).This paper surveyed 160 samples across five manufacturing industries. The results confirm that the three MC enablers (personalized design, modular design, and automated processes) correlate positively with two internal dimensions of the organizational culture of Chinese manufacturers (work cooperation and relationship harmony). Of the two internal dimensions, work cooperation enhances organizational performance, while relationship harmony has no impact on organizational performance. Modular design, automated processes, and work cooperation are powerful tools in the implementation of MC and organizational performance. Personalized design and relationship harmony are useful in MC. However, these tools are intermediate and limited, and they do not contribute to the general performance of the entire organization. Thus, in terms of internal- and team-oriented cultural factors, work cooperation is more important than relationship harmony in the implementation of MC. Relationship harmony is a tool for managing work atmosphere, and this is a new characteristic feature of MC as a new operational paradigm.

With the widespread use of computers, in the design world, rule-based design methods, which can work in harmony with computer logic and can be easily adapted to the computer environment, have come to the fore. It is possible to analyze the logic of a design made with the rule-based design method. It is even possible to change the design which is placed on the rule base by removing the rules, in the computer environment, or creating new designs with the same design logic. In this paper, a new hybrid model is proposed based on Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (IT2 FANP) and Interval Type-2 Fuzzy TOPSIS (IT2 Fuzzy TOPSIS) for the evaluation of store plan alternatives produced with rule-based design method. The IT2 FANP method is used to determine the weight of criteria determined by experts in the selection of store plan alternatives. Then, the IT2 Fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to obtain the ranking of alternatives with Interval Type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The originality of the paper comes from the first-time usage of a hybrid approach based on IT2 FANP and IT2 Fuzzy TOPSIS methodology in the prioritizing of store plan alternatives produced with rule-based design method.

The relevance of the distribution of clothing, designed in the style of Family look, is the result of the social demand for expressing family values by the consumers. Updating this style requires the introduction of new types of combinations of the system of artistic images and the development of an assortment concept of creating a capsule wardrobe. The problem of style modernization eliminates such classification features as gender, age, range. The image level of motivation in choosing the range of Family look style is based on the principle of “unisex”, which is due to the condition of the ensemble of the standard items set. The capsule approach to novelty of a family wardrobe provides stylistic balance of subject combinations due to the optimization of qualitative characteristics of a typical set in the Family look style. On the basis of normative definitions of components of family wardrobe the nomenclature of principles of identification of imagery of Family look models is formed. The application of the principle of ensemble of a capsule of a standard set in social function of clothes of Family look on the bases of hierarchy of structure of designing levels is considered: object, gender and age signs, social group, application of subjects. A typological series of options for combining assortment units in the gender and age groups of family members has been developed. The mirror image of the “unisex” principle has been studied by the method of uneven scaling of the areas of standard kits in the grid of product dimensions by the coefficient of proportionality in gender and age groups. A verification database for determining the harmony of the standard set has been developed, which differentiates the information for the scaling procedure: the appearance of the model, assortment units (top, bottom), models’ area, the coefficient of proportionality. The identification methods of the harmony of the typographic set have been offered: rhythm metrics, dimensional copying of the mirror image, stylistic harmony of subject combinations. Quantitative parameters of proportional ratios of areas of assortment units do not contradict the proportions of control measurements of design dimensions. The proposed technique can be recommended as a basic one in the development of a capsule wardrobe and in determining the items harmony.

The purpose of the article. The article explains the ways to find harmony in modern clothing design projects. The research methodology consists of the analysis application in the field of fashion, as well as methods of source, aesthetic and structural-compositional analysis. The scientific novelty of the work lies in determining and systematizing the main ways of searching for harmony in clothing design 2010-2020. Conclusions. Design forms and expression, its orientation change not only due to a technology change but primarily due to changes in social demands, value systems, mental guidelines, of which the search for harmony is also important – external and internal. Designers solve this aspect in various ways: from formalized proportioning and the color wheel usage to the use of natural motifs and folk art archetypes. Another way is “green”, ecological, “ethical”, “sustainable” fashion – directions that not only demonstrate the possibilities of processing but also generate a particular worldview, draw attention to the artist’s ability to return people to the beauty and diversity of the world.

The fashion industry analyzes the value of its essence with ecological design and is expressed as an innovative sculpture using digital technology. Accordingly, this study explores ecological images and digital technologies, categorizes types and derives their meanings through analysis of ecological images shown in modern digital fashion. A literature survey was conducted on ecological images and digital technology as a theoretical background. To analyze the expression type and internal meanings of ecological images, designs with ecological formability were selected and analyzed from related journals, books, and internet sites. The finding are as follows: The expression type was first identified as organic curved garment silhouettes of a non-material liquid with digital retouching. Second, ecological fashion design includes structural shape that applies the silhouette of an organism and patterning of the ecosystem. Third, ecosystems consist of interactions between components of an ecosystem that appear in the interactive type. Accordingly, the internal meanings of ecological images in modern digital fashion are: first, digital fashion can encircle the inherent concepts of nature as organic collections of individuals; second, digital ecological images emphasize a sense of community with coexistence and harmony, playing a complementary role; and finally, the images express perceptual features by providing people with transcendent experiences. This study is significant as it analyzes new formative features based on ecological systems in the digital fashion environment, establishes an aesthetic system through internal meanings, and enhances awareness of human-natural relationships.

This study aims to examine the ability of ‘Z Generation’ students to interpret poetry. The z generation lives in the digital technology era where they tend to possess liberal and intelligent character. Poetry was chosen since this literature type has historical closeness to Keroncong music, especially in the Keroncong Stambul and Keroncong eras in the 1950s. The issue of Keroncong, whose development has been stagnant since the 1980s, is expected to trigger the Z generation to emerge a solution in the form of Keroncong music. The action research model used in this research was implemented through 6 stages: preparation, implementation, production, mixing and mastering, discussion and evaluation, upload, and publication. This project was applied to 33 students who were divided into five groups of 6 to 7 members each. Each group received a different poem. The project resulted in 5 Keroncong works and emerged a new Keroncong music genre called ‘Kroncongisasi Puisi.’ The study found that the learning achievements of the Z generation were achieved due to several factors: (1) their brilliant abilities in accessing various information digitally; (2) the digital age contains all the information they need; (3) their liberal nature makes them open to modernity.

This study result was recommended to the Keroncong community, government, and education community.

The fact of the Japanese economic miracle is rarely associated with the environmental crisis. Getting out of this crisis might be considered as another Japanese miracle – the ecological one, which turned the country into an area of a harmony between man and nature. This unique phenomenon is usually associated with traditions of Shinto, but this is only one part of the national realities. Another part is connected with the beneficial effects of the eco-cultural revolution of recent decades. Development of environmental education was the most important component. This article presents the results of a study of higher environmental education in Japan, which has acquired a nationwide scale and has become an important link in the state environmental policy. This is precisely the mission of environmental education – to be the most important tool for ensuring the ecological culture of environmental professionals and the entire population of the country in a whole. The empirical basis of the study is provided by thematic publications in Japanese, English and Russian, materials from targeted surveys and interviews of Japanese universities’ teachers within the framework of the project of the Russian Geographical Society, as well as a diverse authors’ experience of communication with employees and students of Japanese universities over the past 10 years. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the development of higher environmental education in Japan and the specifics of its current stage. The most important of these features are the development of universal environmental education in the country; systematic “greening” of higher education; a synthesis of national cultural traditions and scientifically based innovations; creation of an attractive image of environmental specialties; using environmental education as a platform for the paradigm of an education for sustainable development. The revealed features convince that Japanese society is aware of the high price of environmental costs, while considering environmental education as a decisive factor in its optimization. In this regard, the original Japanese practice of higher environmental education is of undoubted interest for other countries of the world including Russia.

Color is of great importance, equal to the importance of the drawing itself, because the color inside the characters and backgrounds helps to show the whole idea, and it undoubtedly controls the general atmosphere completely, and every color or color scheme has its strength and weakness that must be controlled by the background artist who wants to transfer his theories to the screen. The colors of the elements must be consistent and in harmony with the colors of the accompanying background. The colors of the elements are dramatically translated into the events and situations that are going on inside the moving images, which is due to the artist in his ability to choose a group of colors that are homogeneous plastically and dramatically. The color has the possibility to achieve the success of the scene or not, and the color also has the ability to make the communication process successful because of its many meanings and connotations that support the desired idea of ​​the design. Its elements Therefore, animation designers must study color theory and research its content, properties and relationships with the rest of the elements of composition. The artist must link between the homogeneity of colors and their association with events, and what they evoke from the feelings of the viewer. The diversity in the color contrast within the background must be consistent with the dramatic contrast within the film, and the color has physiological aspects within the background. It is best to study the colors of the characters in each scene separately so that some details of the elements and characters do not disappear with the colors of the backgrounds added to them. Each scene has its own colors and lighting.
