pathologic 3 save & sound 2024 presentation

this is a quick attempt at a transcript of the presentation. I think I got most of it but there are some words I was unable to hear, I can't say I have a lot of practice doing this and that's on me so if any of you guys can help me I'll edit it asap

Ressa Schwarzwald: I'm Ressa from Gameowdio. Our team has been working on Pathologic 3 with Vasily Kashnikov and his apprentice Nikolai. This video will feature some of the audio stuff we've made together.

Our goal regarding audio direction was to give the real experience of being in the epicenter of an epidemic. Fully realistic, no bullshit. So we are obviously shooting this video in The Town. We realized pretty early that the game was quite different from the original Pathologic 2 because of the time travel mechanics. So for the prototype we built a time travel machine [the date November 1924 shows on screen], which appeared to be quite useful to record some source sounds, and [date changes to November 3024] make this video in just half a second using existing technology.

Let's start with the music.

Vasily Kashnikov: Hi, I'm Vasily Kashnikov, audio director of Pathologic 3 project. I'll tell you how our music is structured. We were already thinking about how the Bachelor's game would sound when we were working on Patholgic 2 and writing music for Haruspex. In Pathologic 2, the music had more ethnic and real motives (motifs?) and instruments. Since the city and its customs are familiar with Haruspex since he was a child, he is involved in the traditional way of life. In the case of Pathologic 3, this is the view of an outsider who evaluates everything from the point of view of rationality and science. Therefore, we are trying to make the Pathologic 3 soundtrack colder and more detached from the steppes and ethnicity in character. There is more synthesis, guitars at the same time, the Bachelor communicates with those in power so the soundtrack contains a large share of minimalist so-called furniture music that could sound in the beginning of the last century. Piano etudes and references to composers of that time: Satie, Debussy, etc. The soundtrack is a rather eclectic mix of dreampop, downtempo, and (?) minimalism.

In the city when the Bachelor is alone with himself, we emphasize the cold mind of the rhythm section: less emotional harmony, and sometimes electronic timbres. In the rooms where we need to separate the main character from those he interacts with, we use more expressive harmonies and more classical instruments: piano and guitar passages.

When we designed the interactive music system, we assumed that time is finite, and the music had to change depending on the amount of time the Bachelor had left. However, we later abandoned this system and now the music changes depending on the state of the Bachelor himself, who can fall into apathy or psychosis. To emphasize these states, we apply filters and effects to different layers of our tracks and get a slower, muffled sound in the case of apathy, and wired (?) nervous, glitchy in the case of psychosis. In the infected quarters, there are interactive systems that... [screen begins to distort] oh my god, Nataliya! Please stop this!

Nataliya Radina: Whoops, hehe, sorry. But yeah, basically the other system we created reflects everything you hear in the game. Such as... If we use our gun when dealing with the local thugs, the longer we aim the weapon at the people, the less sounds of the outside world we hear and the louder becomes the heartbeat. To add to the intensity, sharper tone was used along with a high pitch tinnitus sound. If the psychosis level goes to the maximum, it starts to damage Bachelor's health, which is accompanied by flashes on the screen, as well as low heartbeat and short breathing sounds.

Vasily Kashnikov: In the infected and rebel's quarters, there are also interactive systems that change the character of the music by adding or disabling instrument layers depending on the state of the world or the Bachelor's equipment to fight the plague. As a result, we have 12 tracks for each day spent in the city. they can freely switch between each other and several dozen themes for locations and characters, and all the music is subject to change depending on the state of the Bachelor.

Nataliya Radina: Since the game has a weather changing system, we also wanted to reflect that in our audio feedback as well. The game has global wetness parameter that shows how intense the rain is. The more it rains, the more squishy and muddy are the steps of the outside surfaces. Moreover, if you come closer to the window, you can hear the rain pondering on the glass. Even in the middle of the plague, we always have room for cozy moments, right? My favorite part of that system is involving cows. [cow moo]. So, when it's raining, you can actually hear very very soft sound of raindrops dropping on those bovine butts. And I personally think it's beautiful.

Artur Ramanouski: Hi, my name is Artur, and I was also involved in creating some sound assets for the game.

Probably the hardest thing to record were the footsteps. I had everything planned out: bought the equipment, got every type of surface, but...there was one small thing I overlooked: I live in a city with over 12 million people. Noise everywhere. The solution was simple and ingenious: I recorded everything on a Sunday, because in Buenos Ares, Sunday is the one day when no one does anything.

Nataliya Radina: One of the most important places in the game is the cathedral. There we have a system of ladders that control the speed and direction of time. Direction wise, we can have it flow normally, or reversed. [entire presentation is rewound very quickly so it's back to Ressa]

Ressa Schwarzwald: She is super professional.

Nataliya Radina: As for the speed, we can make it stand still, go twice as fast, or half normal speed. We created an audio system that has to (?) understand what is actually happening around (inaudible). When we reverse time, spatial effects are added to the surrounding sounds. Ambience, steps, and the mechanism itself. When time stands still, we increase the low frequencies in the ambience, and all the other sounds are muted to zero. Now lastly, when the time goes twice as fast, or half the original speed, the pitch of the surrounding sound changes accordingly.

The coolest part of this system is that it's been actually implemented into the game engine using only one parameter.

Ressa Schwarzwald: Thank you for watching. See you here, later!

[inthegardenofprayers]

"It is not possible to walk away from such things unscarred, to keep living when the universe dies around you..." it's my single favorite quote from Sion and I think it's because it made me realize the motif of trauma. Most major characters in KOTOR II experience an extremely traumatic event in their lifetime. Hanharr can't handle owing a lifedebt to Mira and goes insane. Bao-Dur still feels immense guilt over his activation of the Mass Shadow Generator. Same with Atton and his guilt over being an assassin. Sion was defeated in battle, literally dying. Visas had her planet destroyed by Nihilus, who in turn was murdered by the Mass Shadow Generator. Kreia was exiled and eventually betrayed by her sith apprentices. Even though G0-T0 is a droid, his purpose is to fix the mass trauma of an entire civilization. Lastly, Meetra Surik (or just the exile) cut off from the force to survive the stress of the Mass Shadow Generator. As an exception, I'd say Disciple and Handmaiden don't necessarily have personal trauma but this is because they are introduced to the exile as a novice and will grow alongside you and reflect your decisions. The entire galaxy underwent trauma in the Mandalorian wars, and the story of KOTOR II is how react to your own trauma, the trauma of your companions, and ultimately the trauma of the republic.

|

I see the light side and dark side choices in game as the way you dealt with your trauma and how you help others through theirs, rather than explicit rejections or embraces of Jedi/Sith teachings. After all, you aren't even a member of the Jedi Order anymore and you left a long time ago because you didn't agree with them. Think about it like the restoration project on Telos, but with the emotional and mental health of every character in the game. When Sion tells you that nobody could walk away from such things "unscarred" its up to you whether or not that's even true. Do you walk the path of the light side and find redemption/healing through community, altruism, and self sacrifice? Or do you walk the path of the dark side: hardening yourself for protection and seeking power at the expense of others' wellbeing? Sion and Nihilus chose the latter and take take the idea to its apex. Neither can survive without the force and they are restricted by their relationship to it. Kreia makes a point to say that Nihilus does not know true power as he cannot control himself, or his abilities. He is completely beholden to a primal urge to feed. Sion loses to you in the very clip because you have the stronger will. While they survived their trauma, they are weaker because they never healed. They are "scarred" as Sion says.

|

Kreia offers a third way, based off your own survival at Malachor. Reliance upon the self, upon willpower and strength of mind is the only way to survive. After all, you did survive Malachor not because of your connection to the force, but because you were strong without it. It is the synthesis of Sith and Jedi ideas, which she combined after spending time as a great master of both orders. But is this a true way to heal from trauma? It may never be possible to heal from trauma, but look at how far your companions come and only after YOU took the time to influence them. They are strong on their own, surviving years on dangerous planets or designing weapons that bring armies to their knees, but through their connection to YOU, to a community, they unlock their true potential.

[ducotte-real]

please share more abt the fankids I think they’re so cool !!!

aaa thank you! a quick summary of their concept (spoilers for the HSS propogation quests and Penacony storyline!):

Ruan Mei pushing against the boundaries of genetic engineering again, practicing her work at DNA replication and gene synthesis before perfecting it fully to continue her project with Tazzyronth. She teams with one Dr. Veritas Ratio in workshopping a method of short-term life forms that would age rapidly, to study the process of decay and growth in order to tweak it in later tests down the line.

The life forms in question? intelligent organisms born from meshing genetic sequences from material donated (or subtly stolen in some way). The test subjects are cultivated, given a strict curriculum, an extensive wealth of online and archived knowledge to learn from and test their talents. TLDR: we made fankid love children from characters in HSR.

——————————————————————-

CAVAE RATIO: (Ratio // Aventurine)

[imaginary Remembrance 💠💠💠💠]

- take Aventurine’s knack for convoluted machinations and Ratio’s intense drive towards a singular goal: Goldberg Slot Machine!

- A workaholic mechanic with a talent for both the hardware and software of their projects, dabbles in abstract inventions

- Don’t tell them about transhumanism there will be no going back

GAIUS RATIO: ( Ratio // Ruan Mei )

[fire Erudition 💠💠💠💠💠]

- This kid’s defining, persistent curiosity stems from both parents. Combine it with Ruan Mei’s connections to the organic, with Ratio’s more clinical perspectives of logic into a physical sense: faux flora, paper flowers, and a wistful wanderlust

- They want to see the world outside their ivory tower of academia, and to learn first hand about the universe itself. Excitedly dogs the poor scientists handling everyone’s monitored exams to reply to Gaius’ questions for once- “A test! Answer me!”

- The Little Prince in a tower, having read all the books they own ten times over

- Gaius and Cavae are technically siblings, sharing Dr. Ratio as a donor! they treat each other as such and use nicknames for one another (GaiGai and CaeCae respectively)

“APOLLYON”: ( Dan Feng // Yingxing )

[wind Hunt 💠💠💠💠💠]

- Current design is on the left. prototype concept on the right!

- Not much information is disclosed about this subject’s donors. Nothing Ruan Mei could properly obtain from the Xianshou Ten-Lords Commission, at least. Perhaps Apollyon’s dogged determination to both learn everything about their ‘parents’, as well as defy whatever assumptions are made about themselves, are traits passed down altogether

- Very big fan of the legal system. The orderly process of a court trial is appealing to them. They’ve also thrown themselves into the law to subvert Dan Feng and Yingxing/Blade’s history of criminal notoriety

- Technically the oldest, but not the *eldest*. Because of their Vidyahara genetics, he still has a baby face (gets teased for it). The subjects all still age faster than normal though

“BELPHAGOR”: (J▪️n▪️ ▪️▪️an // ▪️▪️▪️▪️ ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️)

[electric Abundance 💠💠💠💠]

- If Apollyon’s donor information is hard to uncover, then Belphagor’s is buried under centuries of incryption, perhaps never even being added to the databank in the first place. Or— out of the spirit of secrecy disguised as easy transparency— the info was scrubbed some time after being inputted

- Calm, collected, with connections throughout the Herta Space Station and beyond. Belphie even has routine ‘storyboarding’ sessions with Madame Herta and her Genius coworkers. Their secret contributions to the flavor text of the Simulated Universe help weave the story into a cohesive narrative, tricks the AI into believing the fabrication more easily

- Also has game nights with a slippery hacker online. They trade the #1 spot for the universal high score of Puyo Puyo Tetris III Deluxe Online (sponsored by the IPC’s entertainment branch)

“MATEO” : ( Boothill // Argenti )

[physical Destruction 💠💠💠💠💠]

- Mateo has a fair amount of information about his donors. No matter how many files he can access to read about them, though, he still craves a true connection. He doesn’t just want donors— he wants parents. Maybe that Curio he swiped from Herta’s collection could be his ticket off the station?

- Headstrong, steadfast, impatient, and honest. Desperately wants to prove himself through acts of valor and impulse snap decisions to help others. His heart’s in the right place

- the Curio he swiped? turns into a biplane. when not in flight mode? turns into a JETPACKKKKKKK YEAAHH BABY

MISC. INFO: ( Bullshit // Braindump)

- Mateo and Gaius first met each other while Mateo was testing his Curio’s jetpack function outside the HSS. Gaius saw him through the window, enthusiastically wrote notes on big slats of paper to communicate, and they were stuck by the hip ever since

- Cavae has a habit of self-isolation and social withdrawal when having emotional struggles. They drown themselves in their inventions without any time to bond with the others. The other kids have tried to reach through to them, Gaius and Apollyon especially, but the only progress made is when Cavae does it themselves

- Apollyon loves to put on mock trials. Belphagor and Gaius, the most skilled writers in the group, often create theater performances or fake court trials for Apollyon to play the Prosecutor for. Cavae contributed the props and stage tech, with Gaius and Mateo playing as secondary roles. Mateo often gets put as the Judge so he can have a fake beard (but he puts on the best show as the convict)

- Gaius is skilled at origami

- Belphagor is on the most amicable terms with Ruan Mei. Mostly because, out of all the subjects, they’re the one most willing to *accept* being a test subject. Thus they hold no hard feelings towards Ruan Mei about the experiment they’re born from

- Ratio has a check-up scheduled to interview his subjects coming up. The reminder got sent in the mail, though a particularly nosy merchant may have rummaged through his deliveries while the good Doc was running a bath.

[circumlocutive]

Fuckin

Semi masturbatory caffeinated ramble reflecting on skills acquired in my PhD

Thinking about how broad and interdisciplinary my project is and the kinda of things I have to be familiar with or an expert in. I get down on myself sometimes for progress but looking at all the shit I've learned.... Without formal classes or a senior grad student or (for the majority of it) no post doc. And a PI who can't help bc she's really a business lady at this point not a professor. Maybe shouldn't be hard on myself?

Like. I did completely different projects in undergrad (biotech/proteins/genetics/regenerative medicine, advanced manufacturing/composite fabrication/CNC/welding/process statistics, translational neuropharma studies of addiction/rodent handling and operant training and behavioral video analysis/neural tissue slicing n staining/hand making neuroelectrodes for implantation, design and fabrication of impedance spectroscopy based electrochemical sensors/automation of sensor fab and use w a micro fluidic flow cell)

Like. Since I've started I've learned:

- how to do multi-step air-free water-free chemical synthesis (with glove box and schlenk line) and purification (extraction, filtration, chromatography) of light sensitive amphiphiles (extra tricky)

- how to get and read NMR even for massive fucking molecules and interpret weird peaks (I can casually see if I've got water or any of my common solvents contaminating the spectra without referencing a table at this point)

-how to fucking take down and set up and fix everything in our chemical synthesis lab (because we moved and all our shit was abused for years) and all the intricate non-unified and sometimes conflicting rules for hazardous chemical storage

- the theory/math and how to actually use the equipment to do optoelectronic/photophysical characterization (e.g. using the UV vis spectrometer and writing python to convert the data files into readable tables and figures, learning theory so I can develop equations to relate photon flux to change in absorbance of an actinometer ((light sensitive molecule with a consistent quantum yield)) then obtain quantum yield of charge transfer in a different molecule but same setup, how to use the fluorimeter and get intensity and quantum yield, how to set up lasers and LEDs, what cuvettes to use, how to get fluorescence lifetimes or take two photon excitation data, how to spin coat wafers n do thin film transistor studies), more theory about how photo induced electron transfer voltage sensors work and the importance of angle of insertion on sensitivity (and how to measure it with polarization microscopy) other voltage sensing dye mechanisms like FRET or electrochromic dyes and why to use intensity vs lifetime vs whatever when interpreting signal readouts and the extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting that interpretation.

- how to do vesicle fabrication and immobilize for imaging, typical membrane compositions and dynamics (e.g. phase orders depending on cholesterol concentrations, significance of packing parameters to membrane organization), measurimg particle radius with DLS, controlling inner cargo and gradients over a membrane by manipulating the bulk solution, the interplay between non radiative decay and the stiffness of the membrane microenvironment around a fluorophore

- the math and bio behind electrophysiology/advanced neuroscience pertaining to modeling and calculating and quantifying signalling/equivalent RC circuit analysis, what spatiotemporal requirements there are for studying this shit <- though this was through a class, not self taught

- I already had cell culture experience and did some adherent and suspended cultures, some live dead imaging assays, etc, but I've learned new facets like how to go about picking electrically exciteable lines (ease of growing? What media requirements? time to multiply and differentiate? What agent to differentiate? How to induce firing without a patch clamp?) and troubleshooting uptake/optimizing staining and imaging parameters (what media or buffer for growth vs staining vs washing vs imaging? Can it have serum? Can it have calcium and magnesium? What salts, how is it buffered, whats the osmolarity I can get away with? What concentrations work for what # of cells? What dilution factors? Do I need to admix equivolumes of dye solution and cell solution? Do I prep the organic solvent+ dye + aqueous solution with sonication or filtration or vortexing before mixing? Is DMSO or ethanol or DMF a better organic for dispersal or biocompatibility? What's the Ideal incubation time for uptake and viability? How long before I absolutely need to image or the dye gets internalized? If it's retained long, how many days could I image for?) for my tricky aggregation-prone non-diffusive thermodynamically-partitioned dye. Also stuff like what commercially available live imaging dyes can I compare to or complement my visualizations with or use for colocalization studies (other lipophilic membrane dyes that insert in the bilayer with preferences for diff order regions? What about comparison with surface adhering dyes like WGA-iFluor that bind surface sugars, to show that our dye can laterally diffuse to areas blocked by cell-cell contacts?), what fluorescence specific parameters do I need to characterize (photo toxicity/photo bleaching time?)

And then there's other shit I've picked up like. Idk. How to make orders in the particular institute I'm in. Better citation managers and ways to search literature. Recognizing what groups and journals and conferences are major players in the fields I'm touching. Getting comfy presenting my shit.

I need to learn a little more about microscopy (especially FLIM and how to build a polarizer module into the scope we have for polarization microscopy), and a little more about the state of the art for voltage dyes and live-imaging dye characterization but man. I think I'm getting somewhere. I'm starting to know enough to see the end of this project and pick my directions moving forward and argue when my PI is wrong

Gahhhhhh

A: Yes! Project CORALINE was originally founded for the purpose of promoting the founder's original story, Reliving Dead Memories, which has been in the works since 2015. While this is still partially the case, it has since expanded.

The vocal synthesis division has now been expanded with the purpose of helping others in the vocal synthesis sphere, by providing them a way to both publish and make their own vocal libraries! We offer the resources and funding to help make new ones possible.

However, we feel the need to state that we will not own any vocal synths, as we are primarily just a publisher now! The creator and voicer still retain full rights to their libraries, and are free to leave whenever they see fit. No one is forcing them to stay under us! The only vocal libraries that really count as being Project CORALINE property at the time of writing this are Sahimura Korarin, Ignatius Kadin and Mahalia Paz Kadin. Flora has zero say regarding voice banks that they have not created directly.

❔️ Q: What's the story division about, then?

A: Its primary purpose is to be a publisher and promote Reliving Dead Memories, a psychological horror story that has been in the works since 2015, and is hoping to be released sometime in the near future.

‼️PLEASE DO NOTE THAT RELIVING DEAD MEMORIES IS INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE, AS THERE ARE DEPICTIONS OF ABUSE, HORROR, DEATH, AND TRAUMA. IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.‼️

❔️ Q: So, could I make a voicebank under Project CORALINE?

A: Perhaps! Contact @florageist for more information, and they can help you from there!

Big Data and AI: The Perfect Partnership for Future Innovations 

Innovation allows organizations to excel at differentiation, boosting competitive advantages. Amid the growth of industry-disrupting technologies, big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) professionals want to support brands seeking bold design, delivery, and functionality ideas. This post discusses the importance of big data and AI, explaining why they matter to future innovations and business development. 

Understanding Big Data and AI 

Big data is a vast data volume, and you will find mixed data structures because of continuous data collection involving multimedia data objects. A data object or asset can be a document, an audio track, a video clip, a photo, or identical objects with special file formats. Since big data services focus on sorting and exploring data objects’ attributes at an unprecedented scale, integrating AI tools is essential. 

Artificial intelligence helps computers simulate human-like thinking and idea synthesis capabilities. Most AI ecosystems leverage advanced statistical methods and machine learning models. Their developers train the AI tools to develop and document high-quality insights by processing unstructured and semi-structured data objects. 

As a result, the scope of big data broadens if you add AI integrations that can determine data context. Businesses can generate new ideas instead of recombining recorded data or automatically filter data via AI-assisted quality assurances. 

Why Are Big Data and AI Perfect for Future Innovations? 

1| They Accelerate Scientific Studies  

Material sciences, green technology projects, and rare disorder research projects have provided humans with exceptional lifestyle improvements. However, as markets mature, commoditization becomes inevitable. 

At the same time, new, untested ideas can fail, attracting regulators’ dismay, disrespecting consumers’ beliefs, or hurting the environment. Additionally, bold ideas must not alienate consumers due to inherent complexity. Therefore, private sector stakeholders must employ scientific methods to identify feasible, sustainable, and consumer-friendly product ideas for brand differentiation.  

AI-powered platforms and business analytics solutions help global corporations immediately acquire, filter, and document data assets for independent research projects. For instance, a pharmaceutical firm can use them during clinical drug formulations and trials, while a car manufacturer might discover efficient production tactics using AI and big data. 

2| Brands Can Objectively Evaluate Forward-Thinking Business Ideas 

Some business ideas that a few people thought were laughable or unrealistic a few decades ago have forced many brands and professionals to abandon conventional strategies. Consider how streaming platforms’ founders affected theatrical film releases. They have reduced the importance of box office revenues while increasing independent artists’ discoverability. 

Likewise, exploring real estate investment opportunities on a tiny mobile or ordering clothes online were bizarre practices, according to many non-believers. They also predicted socializing through virtual reality (VR) avatars inside a computer-generated three-dimensional space would attract only the tech-savvy young adults. 

Today, customers and investors who underestimated those innovations prefer religiously studying how disrupting startups perform. Brands care less about losing money than missing an opportunity to be a first mover for a niche consumer base. Similarly, rejecting an idea without testing it at least a few times has become a taboo. 

Nobody can be 100% sure which innovation will gain global momentum, but AI and big data might provide relevant hints. These technologies are best for conducting unlimited scenario analyses and testing ideas likely to satisfy tomorrow’s customer expectations. 

3| AI-Assisted Insight Explorations Gamifies Idea Synthesis 

Combining a few ideas is easy but finding meaningful and profitable ideas by sorting the best ones is daunting. Innovative individuals must embrace AI recommendations to reduce time spent on brainstorming, product repurposing, and multidisciplinary collaborations. Furthermore, they can challenge themselves to find ideas better than an AI tool. 

Gamification of brainstorming will facilitate a healthy pursuit of novel product features, marketing strategies, and customer journey personalization. Additionally, incentivizing employees to leverage AI and big data to experiment with designing methods provides unique insights for future innovations. 

4| You Can Optimize Supply Chain Components with Big Data and AI Programs 

AI can capture extensive data on supply chains and offer suggestions on alternative supplier relations. Therefore, businesses will revise supply and delivery planning to overcome the flaws in current practices. 

For instance, Gartner awarded Beijing’s JD.com the Technology Innovation Award in 2024 because they combined statistical forecasting. The awardee has developed an explainable artificial intelligence to enhance its supply chain. Other finalists in this award category were Google, Cisco, MTN Group, and Allina Health. 

5| Academia Can Embrace Adaptive Learning and Psychological Well-Being 

Communication barriers and trying to force all learners to follow the standard course material based on a fixed schedule have undermined educational institutions’ goals worldwide. Understandably, expecting teachers to customize courses and multimedia assets for each student is impractical and humanly infeasible. 

As a result, investors, policymakers, parents, and student bodies seek outcome-oriented educational innovations powered by AI and big data for a learner-friendly, inclusive future. For instance, some edtech providers use AI computer-aided learning and teaching ecosystems leveraging videoconferencing, curriculum personalization, and psycho-cognitive support. 

Adaptive learning applications build student profiles and segments like marketers’ consumer categorizations. Their AI integrations can determine the ideal pace for teaching, whether a student exhibits learning disabilities, and whether a college or school has adequate resources. 

Challenges in Promoting Innovations Based on Big Data and AI Use Cases 

Encouraging stakeholders to acknowledge the need for big data and AI might be challenging. After all, uninformed stakeholders are likely to distrust tech-enabled lifestyle changes. Therefore, increasing AI awareness and educating everyone on data ethics are essential. 

In some regions, the IT or network infrastructure necessary for big data is unavailable or prone to stability flaws. This issue requires more investments and talented data specialists to leverage AI tools or conduct predictive analyses. 

Today’s legal frameworks lack provisions for regulating AI, big data, and scenario analytics. So, brands are unsure whether expanding data scope will get public administrators’ approvals. Lawmakers must find a balanced approach to enable AI-powered big data innovations without neglecting consumer rights or “privacy by design” principles. 

Conclusion 

The future of enterprise, institutional, and policy innovations lies in responsible technology implementations. Despite the obstacles, AI enthusiasts are optimistic that more stakeholders will admire the potential of new, disruptive technologies. 

Remember, gamifying how your team finds new ideas or predicting the actual potential of a business model necessitates AI’s predictive insights. At the same time, big data will offer broader perspectives on global supply chains and how to optimize a company’s policies. 

Lastly, academic improvements and scientific research are integral to developing sustainable products, accomplishing educational objectives, and responding to global crises. As a result, the informed stakeholders agree that AI and big data are perfect for shaping future innovations.

Deinstitutionalization Discussion Question One: What is the importance of a historical literature review? Literature review, a critical step in research procedure, is a synthesis of what is published concerning a selected topic by accredited researchers and scholars, and it provides an explanation of the literature pertinent to a certain topic or field. Literature review helps in expanding knowledge relating to a specific topic besides helping researchers to demonstrate their skills in critical evaluation and information seeking (Kumar, 2005). The review of literature also helps researchers in ascertaining major gaps in literature that forms the basis of their research. Literature review despite being challenging offers a theoretical framework to the target audience. Literature review helps the audience in understanding the research problem and the techniques applied. Moreover, literature review shows that the researcher is familiar with diversity and breath of literature that concerns the problem subject to research. Literature review is part of well-built research project and offers the foundation of a research topic through past research, determines methodology, and facilitates identification of the research problem (Kumar, 2005). Sound literature ensures that a researcher does not by accident replicate work that has already been done. Additionally, literature review assists in preventing use of research instruments and design that never performed well in the past, besides facilitating identification of research instruments and processes that have been effectively used in the past. The underlying principle behind literature review is to convey to the target audience the ideas and knowledge that has been established on the topic besides facilitating understanding of the weaknesses and strengths of the established ideas and knowledge (Kumar, 2005). Precisely literature review limits and defines the research problem, places the research in historical perspective, prevents unnecessary duplication and assesses successful and practical research methods. Discussion Question 2: The current literature focuses on research performed in the last 5 years. Why is this important? Creating literature review is a crucial and an intricate task that researches faces. Literature review calls for inclusion of numerous skills that include scientific writing, library research and practical information arrangement. Literature review is the initial process in research and calls for involvement of recent scholarly articles or books. Recent scholarly materials give researchers latest issues, findings and ideas regarding the research topic. According to Cottrel & McKenzie, (2010), assessing material for the past ten years is sufficient for university or school-bade research reports. However, this research reviewed literature from articles and books written within the past five years. While there was no unbreakable and fast decree for choosing publications by date, publications that are more than ten years old are suspect of their currency in social research and nursing research (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010) . Using current literature is important in social research as they provide up-to-date and recent data. Current resources bring the researcher up-to-date with pertinent literature and create the foundation of validation of the research. Discussion Question Three: What role does database selection play in finding appropriate literature? A good literature review provides an overview of the information concerning the selected research topic. Certain places such as journals are good sources of literature reviews. A researcher must develop a search strategy to ease the literature review process and to provide relevant sources (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010). Initial sources include indexes and database that holds a collection of abstracts, full text articles and bibliographic data for an extensive range of subjects and are easy to get to on compact disks, print form or via online services. Most preliminary utilized sources include computerized databases such as ProQuest, JSTOR and EBSCOhost. The computerized databases are a fabulous resource for the researcher in the literature review process. Through databases, a research can discover scores of references through only some keystrokes on the computer. Given the tremendous coverage offered through databases, one should engage a search of suitable databases in the literature review procedure. Database selection helps in lowering the overhead of database management. Database selection also offers an efficient and effective way of searching for pertinent literature. Question Two Discussion Question One: Scholarly writing is a synthesis rather than a review of the literature. Explain the difference. Scholarly writing is the form of writing students produces in reaction to a content they have learnt in academic atmosphere. Literature review is any compilation of different materials on a specific topic while a synthesis refers to an arrangement of different ideas from different sources to generate new knowledge. Literature review examines published information concerning a particular subject. Literature review can be a mere synopsis of sources but it holds an organizational blueprint and integrates synthesis and summary (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010). Summary is a review of the significance information in a given source while a synthesis entails a reshuffling or a re-organization of information. A synthesis offers a novel understanding of old sources or integrates new ideas with old explanations. Literature review, on the other hand, may assess sources and recommend the most relevant source to the reader. The main idea of a scholarly writing is to create novel arguments, and this explains why it is a synthesis rather than a review of the literature. Literature review focuses in summarizing and synthesizing ideas and arguments presented by different writers without appending novel contributions. Literature review offers information concerning what other researchers have done in the past, and helps in generating prospective direction to a given research (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010). In performing literature review, one tries to synthesize the results of past research. This is an intricate task given that researchers experiences conflicting results from studies that engaged divergent processes. Creating logic from these results and trying to derive conclusions is an intricate task. Discussion Question Two: Why is it important to provide some opposing points-of-view in the literature review? The main objective of literature review is to show the audience that one has read and understood major readings regarding a given topic. Research objectives, thesis or research problem guides one in literature review. However, it is important that literature review take a critical discussion point rather than be a mere description of what different authors have written in summaries. Critical discussion displays awareness and insight of divergent arguments, perspectives and theories. In this regard, literature review should be an analysis and a synthesis of pertinent published work, connected to the rationale and purpose of the research. Literature review should contrast and compare different views by different authors on the topic, pass judgment on methodology aspects, note areas where writers are in incongruity, underscore gaps in study besides demonstrating how the study connects to past studies (Kumar, 2005). High-quality literature review criticises what different authors have written, determines conflicting areas, and determines which areas requires further research. In addition, a good review calls for a lucid line of ideas and acknowledgement of ideas that do not support ones thesis because ignoring opposing opinions makes ones argument weaker. In this regard, acknowledging opposing points makes the argument stronger, realistic and consistent. Through acknowledging opposing view, the research traces the historical development of the research problem and constructs relating to the problem. Question Three Discussion Question One: Why is it important to evaluate theoretical frameworks? Hypotheses are generated to predict, explain and comprehend a certain phenomena, and they challenge and expand existing information. Theoretical framework is a structure that support or hold a research study's theory, and it describes and introduces the presumption that explains the existence of the research problem. Theoretical framework is part of a research study, it comprises of ideas and their descriptions, and available theories employed in a particular research study (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010). Theoretical framework shows knowledge of concepts and theories that are pertinent to the research topic and links to expansive knowledge field of the study areas. To find the most appropriate theoretical framework for the research, the researcher reassesses course readings besides other relevant research literature. Theory selection depends on its suitability, explanatory power and application. Theoretical framework offers a certain perspective through which a researcher examines the topic besides helping in examining the research topic. In addition, theoretical framework is important as it help the researcher in focusing on a particular factor of his/her topic, directs the assessment of the research topic and offers unpredicted knowledge into the history. Theoretical framework entails collection of ideas, idea maps or abstract models that shows a certain theory that is to be assessed as the foundation of the research study. Overall, theoretical framework is the fundamental structure of concepts to be examined in a study. Evaluating theoretical framework helps in determining whether the theoretical basis of the research is sound. Absence of a specific theoretical framework makes the study weak and makes it less capable of contributing to the entire body of the study field (Cottrel & McKenzie, 2010). A crucial component of research evaluation entails finding the absence or presence of a sufficient theoretical structure that is the foundation of the research study. Besides ascertaining the soundness of the theoretical structure, evaluating theoretical framework helps in conveying its expediency for the research study. Evaluating theoretical framework also assists in determining whether the structure directs the research study. This process entails identification of constructs or concepts, assessment of definitions, relationships, variables, hypothesis, methodology and findings. Discussion Question Two: Will there always be a theoretical framework that aligns with your chosen topic of study? Why or why not? Theoretical framework entails the collection of combined concepts that are not essentially well established (Aparasu, 2011). Theoretical framework determines the things a researcher measures and the statistical link to look for. Through theoretical framework, researchers engage preconceived ideas. For instance, some people deem that human beings are untrustworthy and lazy. Such basic beliefs regarding human temperament influences how a researcher views things when conducting a research. In this regard, not understanding the actual framework is an enormous concern. Theoretical framework directs the researcher to what he/she views in his/her environment, and what he/she does not notice in his/her environment. Researchers do notice aspects that fail to fit their framework. Getting around this issue is not easy, but researcher can minimize the problem through making implicit theoretical frameworks explicit (Aparasu, 2011). When implicit theoretical framework is made explicit, the researcher can consider other theoretical frameworks and view the situation being studied via different lenses. A theoretical framework of a given study may be overtly identified in published report or sometimes not identified. While authors do not report a theoretical basis, it does not imply that they did not use one. In this regard, theoretical framework can be based on the defined concepts, the manner in which the ideas link and the references utilized. Sound research and effective interventions depend on lining up the most suitable practice strategies and theories for a particular research (Aparasu, 2011). Divergent theories are suitable to differing practices. For example, in assessing the how a nurse practitioner can help deinstitutionalized person through establishing a wellness and recovery center, the Health Belief Model was applied. This model is useful in creating interventions to the problems those mentally ill persons from state-run psychiatric hospitals experiences once they are released to the society. The sufficiency of a theory depends in its internal consistency or logic in not producing mutually paradoxical derivations. Researchers must also consider the degree to which the theory is prudent or widely pertinent with use of manageable ideas. Selected theory must show credibility while linked to other major theories in nursing. Theories are assessed with regard to practices of researchers and practitioners (Aparasu, 2011). Practitioners may sometime pertain to the realistic criterion of expediency to particular theory, and, as a result, would be looking for the consistency of the theory with daily observation. Researchers on the other hand, make scientific assessment of ecological validity of a given theory or judges a theory to the degree in which it matches the observable veracity when tested empirically. According to Aparasu (2011), theories are intrinsically abstract and are only logically constructive when applied to certain problems. As a result, to apply a given theory effectively, a researcher must operationalize concepts so that they can be measured and links tested. Variables functions between observation and theory. Concepts should be operationalized carefully as this marks the phase where empirical reality and theory are joined (Aparasu, 2011). From this perspective, attention should be given to the aspects of the selected population, its surrounding environments and research problem particulars. Description of variables determines the major links between empirical work and theoretical. Researchers must search for a theory that assists them in explaining their empirical occurrence of importance. This initial stage entails the conceptualization procedure where researchers must seek for suitable theoretical constructs to fit their experimental problem. For instance, this research employed Health Belief Theory. Interventions founded on the health belief theory are more effective in assisting deinstitutionalized persons (Aparasu, 2011). However, the choice of the most appropriate theoretical framework starts with identifying the research topic and culminates with choosing a theoretical framework that is best suitable to the research problem. Nursing researcher does holds major theory that guides the profession, but a massive amount of theories can be used from other disciplines as well. However, the theoretical framework selected should relate to the research topic. Misapplication of theory lowers the researcher's knowledge of the occurrence that is being tested and compromises successive advances in the knowledge foundation in their field of study (Aparasu, 2011). Sometimes it may be hard to find a theoretical framework that corresponds to the chosen research topic. When this happens, some researchers may artificially fit the research topic to the selected theoretical framework. However, in an applied, virtually oriented field like nursing, care must be taken when artificially fitting the study problem to the selected theoretical framework. This is because the hypothesis and theory derived from theoretical framework directs the research design, data collection methods, data analysis and interpretation of research findings. Question Four Discussion Question One: Why is it important to know where data about the problem can be found before determining the methodology? Data collection is a crucial factor in any given research. Incorrect data collection negatively affects the results and it leads to achieving of invalid results (Beck & Faan, 2013). At this point, in research, the study problem has been determined and the researcher had the prospect of reading a lot of literature linked to the study problem. From this perspective, the researcher probably holds a good idea of who to include in the study and where to collect the data. Determining the source of data is crucial, and this process must be done before selecting the research methodology. Understanding the data source gives the researcher the chance to select feasible research methodology that gurantees valid results. Data selection, which entails assessing the most suitable data source and type, comes before the real data collection practice. Selection of data source depends on the research questions subject to investigation. Quantitative data collection procedures depend on random sampling while structured data gathering instruments are suitable for different experiences. Quantitative research tests hypothesis drawn from a theory, and considering the research question, participants may be chosen randomly. Determining the source of data for researcher before selecting the methodology to be used allows the researcher to determine what form of instruments to use on the study population (Kumar, 2005). For instance, qualitative data collection methods are crucial in offering facts applicable in comprehending the procedure behind observer findings. While study population determines the most appropriate methodology, researchers determine what data source to use to collect data. Data sources include interviews, observations, and physical artifacts. Once the researcher has determined the most appropriate data source, he/she is able to collect information in a systematic way and orderly manner. The researcher is also able to close-validate the information. For instance, in the capstone project, nurse practitioners were interviewed on the feasibility, importance and strategies of establishing a wellness and recovery center. Equally significant with gathering and analyzing data sources is the sample selection. Discussion Question Two: How would you determine the availability of the population for the study? Population study refers to a group of people drawn from a general population who hold similar characteristics, which a researcher wishes to study. Study population includes the overall members of a delineated class of individuals chosen because of their relevancy to the research problem. For instance, the capstone projects involve nurse practitioners with over five years experience in the field of mental health. The study population has to involve registered and qualified nurses who have meet legal, state and education requirements to practice in the mental health field. In the capstone, the study population has been delineated with respect to certain characteristics with both genders involved in the study. The definition of the study population is subject to the problem being investigated and the study objectives. The availability of study population depends on the research problem and the study objectives. However, there are different nurse practitioners practising in different specialities, but the project required psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioners wishing to enter into own practice. As a result, the research included people who were easily accessible. However, even with a well-delineated study population, some potential respondents may make it unrealistic to engage everyone in the research study. In such a situation, researcher performs sampling procedure to determine the best-suited respondents. Read the full article
