In opening up the black box of what entrepreneurship education (EE) should be about, this study focuses on the exploration of relationships between two constructs: opportunity identification (OI) and complex problem-solving (CPS). OI, as a domain-specific capability, is at the core of entrepreneurship research, whereas CPS is a more domain-general skill. On a conceptual level, there are reasons to believe that CPS skills can help individuals to identify potential opportunities in dynamic and nontransparent environments. Therefore, we empirically investigated whether CPS relates to OI among 113 masters students. Data is analyzed using multiple regressions. The results show that CPS predicts the number of concrete ideas that students generate, suggesting that having CPS skills supports the generation of detailed, potential business ideas of good quality. The results of the current study suggest that training CPS, as a more domain-general skill, could be a valuable part of what should be taught in EE.

Transforming education or business starts with transforming one’s mind, and that inner transformation starts with opening up to—indeed welcoming—the inevitable bursts of creativity available to everyone. Sidney J Parnes, one of the world’s leading experts on creative problem-solving (CPSI), innovation and creativity, said, “I dream a dream, a vision great…my world will appreciate” (Parnes, 2004). Parnes’s life is the theme for this issue of Gifted International: Creativity Through Life. He is a lifelong researcher, author, and world-class educator who has presented thousands of seminars and courses on creativity and CPS for leaders in business, education, and government on five continents. For over 50 years, Parnes has worked in the “living laboratory” of the Creative Problem-solving Institutes sponsored by the Creative Education Foundation (CEF), which was established in Buffalo, New York.

The precision of mathematical reasoning, the abstractness of mathematical language, the profundity of mathematical thought and method, as well as the excessive formalization of mathematics teaching have formed an impassable gap, hindering students in approaching mathematics. This has concealed the beauty of mathematics and the light of mathematical culture. However, if students are able to cross this gap, they would find that mathematics is a vast world full of vitality, imagination, wisdom, poetry, and beauty. The pursuit of mathematical beauty is one of the motivations for scientists to research this field. Experiencing mathematical beauty is of great significance to students’ learning and growth. In teaching, the value of mathematical beauty is explored, such as stimulating emotions, opening up to the truth, and cultivating goodness. Several effective ways are suggested in this article to guide students to discover the mathematical beauty in life while finding it in problem-solving methods and exploring it in knowledge systems.

AbstractAn important form of coordination between track one and track two diplomacy revolves around unofficial problem-solving workshops at the level of politically influential individuals that make contributions to the process and outcomes of official negotiations. These contributions typically occur during the prenegotiation phase through the opening up of communication, the improvement of attitudes, the analysis of conflict issues and dynamics, the development of frameworks, the creation of options directed toward resolution, and so on. In order for these effects to be maximally beneficial, coordination between unofficial and official interventions is essential. This study describes connections between track two and track one peacemakers through a comparative analysis of four successful instances where workshops made important prenegotiation and paranegotiation contributions to the official peace processes. The analysis finds that such coordination was limited mainly to information sharing and indirect sequencing of efforts, and that in only one case did it involve the more engaging activities of joint strategy planning and collaboration in implementation. The article concludes that there are inherent limitations to coordination between track one and track two, given their unique and independent roles, but that both domains are evidencing more acceptance and respect for the other, which augurs well for the field of conflict resolution in terms of coordination toward greater effectiveness.

Patent is an exclusive right granted by the State to the inventor of the results of his invention in the field of technology, which for a certain period of time carries out his own invasion or gives his consent to other parties to implement it. (Law 14 of 2001, Ps. 1, v. 1). Meanwhile, the meaning of the Invention and Inventor (contained in the above definition, also according to the law, is):•Invention is an Inventor idea that is poured into a specific problem-solving activity in the field of technology can be a product or process, or an improvement or development of a product or process. (Law 14 of 2001, Ps. 1, v. 2)•Inventor is a person who or some person who jointly carries out an idea poured into an activity that produces an invention. (Law 14 of 2001, ps. 1, v. 3)The word patent comes from the English patent, which originally came from the word patere which means opening up (for public examination), and also comes from the term letter patent, which is a decree issued by the kingdom that gives exclusive rights to individuals and certain business actors. From the definition of the word patent itself, the patent concept encourages inventors to open knowledge for the betterment of society and instead, inventor gets exclusive rights for a certain period. Given that the patent does not regulate who has to do a patented invention, the patent system is not considered a monopoly right.Explanation of the Patents and Systems Applied in Indonesia Regarding the Application for Patent Rights

Speech Model

The paper explores the processes by which children use private speech to regulate their behaviors. The first part of the paper explores the ontological development of self-regulating private speech. The theories of Vygotsky and Luria are used to explain this development. The second part of the paper applies these theories to pedagogical settings. The process by which children are exposed to dialogue strategies that help them solve problems is outlined. The strategy has children posing and answering four questions: What is the problem? How will I solve it? Am I using the plan? How did it work? It is argued that this model helps children systematically mediate their problem solving processes.

Despite the considerable advances in molecular biology over the past several decades, the nature of the physical–chemical process by which inanimate matter become transformed into simplest life remains elusive. In this review, we describe recent advances in a relatively new area of chemistry, systems chemistry, which attempts to uncover the physical–chemical principles underlying that remarkable transformation. A significant development has been the discovery that within the space of chemical potentiality there exists a largely unexplored kinetic domain which could be termed dynamic kinetic chemistry. Our analysis suggests that all biological systems and associated sub-systems belong to this distinct domain, thereby facilitating the placement of biological systems within a coherent physical/chemical framework. That discovery offers new insights into the origin of life process, as well as opening the door toward the preparation of active materials able to self-heal, adapt to environmental changes, even communicate, mimicking what transpires routinely in the biological world. The road to simplest proto-life appears to be opening up.
