AI, Creativity and Authorship: Understanding the Human Role in Generative AI

-
Image
Generative artificial intelligence has introduced a new kind of creative workflow. Instead of producing every visual element manually, artists and creators can describe an idea, generate multiple possibilities, evaluate the results, make changes, and continue the process until a desired outcome develops. But this technological shift raises an important philosophical question: If an AI system generates an image, what exactly is the human contribution to the resulting creative work? This question is explored in the research article “When Generation Becomes Creation: Distinguishing Human Creativity from AI Derivation” by Choi B., published in Philosophy International Journal , Volume 9, Issue 3. The article introduces generative agency as a way of understanding when human involvement in AI-assisted generation becomes artistically significant. Why AI Challenges Traditional Ideas of Creativity Traditional discussions of creativity often focus on concepts such as originality, intentio...

Smart Ergonomics in Physiotherapy: How Technology Could Transform Occupational Health

-
Image
Physiotherapy is designed to improve movement and physical health—but who is protecting the health of the physiotherapists themselves? Physiotherapists regularly perform manual therapy, assist patients, maintain clinical positions, and carry out repetitive movements. While these activities are essential to patient care, they can also expose professionals to considerable physical strain. An opinion article published in the Ergonomics International Journal explores how emerging technologies could change the way occupational ergonomic risks are identified and managed in physiotherapy. The article, titled “Smart Ergonomics in Physiotherapy: From Reactive Injury Prevention to Predictive Occupational Health,” examines the transition from traditional ergonomic practices toward technology-assisted, data-driven occupational health. Why Ergonomics Matters in Physiotherapy Physiotherapists are trained to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance patients' quality of life. Ironically, t...

Metamodernism and the Recovery of Metaphysics: Can We Think About Reality Again?

-
Image
Metaphysics has always asked some of the most fundamental questions human beings can formulate. What exists? What is reality? What does it mean to exist? Can human beings genuinely know reality? Does existence have meaning? For centuries, philosophical traditions attempted to answer these questions through comprehensive systems of thought. However, modern philosophy increasingly examined the limits of human reason, while postmodern philosophy challenged assumptions about universal truth, stable meaning, language, and objective knowledge. Despite these challenges, metaphysical questions have never disappeared. Instead, they continue to return in different forms. The article “Metamodernism and the Recovery of Metaphysics” examines whether metaphysics can be reconsidered within the emerging framework of metamodernism. Rather than attempting to restore traditional metaphysical certainty, the discussion proposes a more cautious and open approach to questions of reality, existence,...

AI-Generated Fiction Is More Than Fluent Text: How Can We Tell If an AI Story Actually Works?

-
Image
Artificial intelligence has changed creative writing. With generative AI, producing a paragraph, short story, or even a lengthy fictional narrative can take only a few prompts. The resulting text can be grammatically correct, descriptive, imaginative, and stylistically convincing. But there is a major difference between writing sentences and building a coherent story . A successful long-form narrative needs characters who remain recognizable, events that connect with one another, symbols that have meaning, and decisions that make sense within the fictional world. This raises an important question: How can we evaluate AI-generated fiction systematically? A recent study published in the Open Access Journal of Data Science & Artificial Intelligence explores this question through an Arabic fiction case study, The Temple . The research proposes a reproducible matrix for evaluating narrative coherence, character continuity, and ethical narrative development. What Is AI-Generated...

Aggressive Tooth Brushing and Gum Recession: Causes, Symptoms, Prevention and SCTG Treatment

-
Image
A bright, healthy smile depends on more than keeping your teeth clean. Your gums play an essential role in protecting and supporting your teeth, and the way you brush can influence their health. Many people believe that applying more pressure while brushing will produce cleaner teeth. However, aggressive tooth brushing may contribute to gum irritation and gingival recession , particularly in individuals who are susceptible to recession. Gingival recession can expose the root surface of a tooth, potentially leading to sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. Fortunately, modern periodontal procedures can help manage selected cases of gum recession. A recently published case report highlights the successful use of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Grafts (SCTG) to treat gingival recession and achieve complete root coverage. What Is Gum Recession? Gum recession, clinically known as gingival recession , occurs when the gum tissue surrounding a tooth moves downward or away from the tooth, exposin...

Can Education Help Us Live Longer? Exploring the Link Between Education, Health and Longevity

-
Image
What if going to school and gaining more years of education could influence more than our careers? Education is commonly associated with better employment opportunities, higher income, and personal development. Yet public health research increasingly draws attention to another possible connection: the relationship between educational attainment and long-term health. A newly published study in Public Health Open Access explores this relationship, highlighting how higher education is strongly linked with better health outcomes and longer life. The Connection Between Education and Health Our health is shaped by many factors. Genetics, environment, healthcare access, lifestyle, socioeconomic circumstances, and personal behaviors can all influence how healthy we are and how long we live. Education may be another important piece of this complex picture. People with higher levels of education may have greater access to health information and may be better equipped to understand health risks ...
