Designers must be equipped with methods to contribute to sustainability transitions. Scenario planning arose as approach to integrate future uncertainties while the low-tech concept promotes technological discernment. This paper looks at how low-tech fuelled scenario planning. Analysing institutional and archetypical scenarios shows a partial integration through high and low-tech extremes. However, more nuanced considerations are lacking. This paper shows that low-tech can bring an interesting dimension to future scenarios and thus contributes to method development for sustainable design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The burgeoning management science fields have produced and continue to produce vast quantities of advice, frameworks, and checklists for owners, leaders, and managers. Evidence is emerging that the proliferation of management science may be overwhelming and that the advice is not sufficiently integrated and only addresses discrete parts of the enterprise, not the whole enterprise system. One would expect to find evidence of repeating patterns in the general class of socio-technical systems known as enterprises. This article presents evidence of such an archetype and proposes a framework for management based on the finding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Myths and legends about heroes could be considered obvious determinants of the formation of a superhero archetype that has naturally established itself in consciousness of individuals. Gradually, however, the superhero archetype has transformed itself into media production where it has become an ostensible element in production of narrative contents. Massive popularity of this phenomenon has thus led to it being constantly used in creation of media products, especially cinematographic works. By recycling the conventional archetypal patterns, the producers of superhero audiovisual pictures started to contribute permanently to various adaptations of the aforementioned concept. Although the majority of films with this topic are based on an almost identical premise, we are able to define some different typological characteristics of individual protagonists. Therefore, the main objective of the submitted study is to identify the forms of expression specific for media superheroes of the 21st century. For deeper comprehension of the issue in question, we have used significant publications by renowned authors, such as R. J. Gray, B. Kaklamanidou, E. C. Arenas, N. Wolf, J. Radošinská, and A. Plencner or various other relevant journal and digital sources. Our ambition is not only to generalize the forms of expression representing contemporary superheroes, but also to present topical theoretical ground related to the discussed issue. The basic aim of the paper is simply to clarify the nature of superhero archetype in current media, or audiovisual production influenced by the current situation closely related to the spread of coronavirus. For the purposes of reaching the set objective, we are using the methods of logical analysis of text in combination with qualitative content analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proves that the basis of cognitive phraseology is a linguophilosophical postulate which says that 1) any objects, matters or phenomena are verbalized by indirect derived means only through giving them a special meaning; 2) any facts, that are parts of a verbalizable denotative situation, become a single generalized figurative frame. This is due to the combination of discursively actualized meanings of archetypal and symbolic origin within the logoepisteme, which is under review. The interpretation of its essence is dual. It is based on the ontological interaction between linguistic consciousness and human existence. Two models of epistemes are distinguished: a) a generalized model of a cognitive-philosophical nature, and b) a private model that structures information about individual elements in the view of the world. The authors also raise the problem of the archetypal and the symbolic in signs of indirect derived nomination. The place of archetypes, myths, symbols in the logo-epistemological structure is explored by a phrase. In the course of study, the authors use a method of logoepisteme modeling, analysis of archetypal, mythological, figurative components that underlie phrasemic logo-epistemological structure.

The article presents the living idea of the creation of places of worship and religious encounter and dialogue between Christian communities against the background of the division between the Christian East and West and the hidden potential of its returning to ecumenical unity. Based on a short case study, it demonstrates the architectural design of the All Saints Temple as an academic ecumenical chapel in the campus of the Bialystok University of Technology. By referring to the universal symbolism of forms and orders, common for all Christians from the times predating the division, it shows a solution to the experimental holy space, which is an ideal preparation for this meeting.

Two-thousandth years of history of Christianity proved that a main criterion of a value of church architecture was not based on architectural precursors. This architecture was sacred because it was a carrier of a "truth of God" and-like a liturgical mysterion and iconography art-it was a theological comment. It was a codified language of the transposes of religions essences and orders, into the form of architectural expression. This was in an East Christianity and this happens there up to this day. This paper presents selected examples of interaction between theology, iconography and architecture in contemporary sacred art of the last decade in Poland. It also shows the process of evolution of traditional spatial and functional archetypesymbolical structures and application of new conventions in the Orthodox temples. The effects of design and creation work serve as a basis to classify these objects as traditional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is presenting the project of adaptation and development of Gardzienice Theatre, aims at transforming Gardzienice village into a place for creative encounters of people representing various traditions, cultures, nations and religions. This project is trying in the ideological way to adapt for the multi-cultural ethos of the theatre. Using language of symbols and archetypes through forms and orders of architecture and the landscape planning composition he is trying to transfer ideological values of the theatre initiation to the space of history of the culture and the nature.

The purpose of this paper is to empirically develop an innovation archetype with a focus on the aerospace industry. This is important because the existing literature reflects an absence of more holistic and integrated frameworks explaining innovation from an archetypical perspective and in relation to the aerospace industry. One case study, based on 19 semi-structured interviews with a range of individuals in one aerospace organisation was developed using naturalistic inquiry, constant comparison methods as well as first and second order conceptions. The main outcome of this paper is an innovation archetype of an aerospace organisation, which includes feature of the organisational structure, the management systems and the interpretive scheme. A practical implication of this study is that the innovation archetype offers a good heuristic to analyse individual and all-inclusive dimensions of innovation activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies on the validation of minimum data sets from international information standards have drawn the attention of the academic community to the identification of necessary requirements for the development of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The primary motivation of such studies is the development of systems using archetypes. The aim of this study was to validate the minimum data set that should be used when constructing an archetyped EHR for prenatal care applications in telehealth. In order to achieve this, a data validation tool was built and used by nine expert obstetricians. The statistical analysis employed was the percentage of agreement and the content validity index. The study was conducted in three steps: 1) Literature review, 2)Instrument development, and 3) Validation of the minimum data set. Of the 179 evaluated pieces of data, 157 of them were validated to be included in the archetyped record of the first prenatal consultation, while 56 of them were allocated for the subsequent consultation record. The benefit of this research is the standardization (data validation for an archetyped system) of prenatal care, with the perspective of employing, both nationally and internationally, an archtyped telehealth system.

open EHR is a flexible and scalable modeling methodology for clinical information and has been widely adopted in Europe and Australia. Due to the reasons of differences in clinical process and management, there are few research projects involving openEHR in China. To investigate the feasibility of openEHR methodology for clinical information modelling in China, this paper carries out a case study to apply openEHR archetypes to Clinical Data Repository (CDR) in a Chinese hospital. The results show that a set of 26 archetypes are found to cover all the concepts used in the CDR. Of all these, 9 (34.6%) are reused without change, 10 are modified and/or extended, and 7 are newly defined. The reasons for modification, extension and newly definition have been discussed, including granularity of archetype, metadata-level versus data-level modelling, and the representation of relationships between archetypes.

The traces of fairy-tale and mythological structure of initiation can be found in Medieval tales of chivalry, in the nineteenth-century psychological novel and in the modernist novel of the twentieth century. V. Kaverin's early novels represent a complicated modernist structure which is based on cultural archetypes reflecting the traditions of folklore and the world literature. The present article studies the motif of initiation in V. Kaverin's (1902 - 1989) novels "The Unknown Artist" (1931) and "The Fulfilment of Desire" (1936). In traditional sense the initiation means the hero's admission to adulthood. In Kaverin's novels the elements of the initiation rite present the cultural paradigm correlating with the most ancient mode of education. The model of initiation transforms into the artistic technique implementing a plot-constructing function in the novel structure. The narrative is characterised by traditional hero's moves in the space, ordeals, imaginary death and rebirth. The way of self education becomes one of the most difficult tasks for Nicolay Shpektrov ("The Unknown Artist") and Nicolay Trubachevskiy ("The Fulfilment of Desire") who have to complete a hard course in the school of life consisting of endless chain of ordeals. In the result of the initiation rite the initiates receive a new look at the world, new knowledge, skills and power. In the process of searching for the purpose of life the hero of Kaverin's neomyth gets a new soul and becomes a new man, thus, demonstrating the surviving theme of "eternal beginnings" and "collective memory".

Beginning with the second half of the XIXth century, the Romanian space has known a powerful stylistic orientation, with its own main purpose to exploit the archaic, archetypal chant and melody, specific to the oral traditional Romanian music. The impact was strong and generalized, gathering a great number of composers who, through the approach of all musical genres, have developed the musical language up to a maximal degree of complexity, in a perfect synchronicity with the musical tendencies and currents promoted at the international level. In this context, our study aims to realize a synthesis of the main aspects of style and language reflected in the choral music of the last decades; the guiding marks of analysis and musical systematics point towards both the characteristics of the modal melody, and the diversity of types of writings (polyphonic, harmonic, heterophony etc.).

Health and social care systems are currently facing complex challenges that continually require more sophisticated answers. The integration of health, social and informal care and the care personalization are important issues in the organization of existing health and social systems. For that information architectures are required to accommodate a wide range of information objects. The paper presents an architecture that follows an open management information paradigm, where the knowledge model adjusts the information model to the requirements of each specific domain application. This can contribute to the integration of health and social care information records with Ambient Assisted Living and user generated information. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

China has issued and implemented standard clinical pathways (Chinese standard CPs) since 2009; however, they are still paper-based CPs. The aim of the study is to reorganize Chinese standard CPs based on related Chinese medical standards, by using archetype approach, and develop an Open platform for CP (openCP) in China.

In 2001, we developed an EHR system for regional healthcare information inter-exchange and to provide individual patient data to patients. This system was adopted in three regions in Japan. We also developed a Medical Markup Language (MML) standard for inter- and intra-hospital communications. The system was built on a legacy platform, however, and had not been appropriately maintained or updated to meet clinical requirements. To improve future maintenance costs, we reconstructed the EHR system using archetype technology on the Ruby on Rails platform, and generated MML equivalent forms from archetypes. The system was deployed as a cloudbased system for preliminary use as a regional EHR. The system now has the capability to catch up with new requirements, maintaining semantic interoperability with archetype technology. It is also more flexible than the legacy EHR system.
