NRO-stylization: A novel algorithm for regular octahedral stylization aesthetic modeling of three-dimensional surface mesh

Stylization of 3D shapes has been a prominent topic in computer graphics. Geometric stylization, as a category within 3D shape stylization, has garnered widespread attention due to its distinctive geometric aesthetics. This paper introduces a novel and simplified method for achieving regular octahedral stylization, capable of transforming the input shape into the regular octahedral style while preserving the content of the original shape. The proposed method achieves regular octahedral stylization by using face normals. Its implementation is straightforward because it incurs a cost only in terms of solving several linear systems. To demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, extensive tests were conducted on models with varying levels of complexity and topological structures. The results highlight the exceptional capability of the proposed method to generate geometric shapes with an aesthetically pleasing regular octahedral style.

Cleaning: Practicing Everyday Aesthetics and Care

Performing various tasks to manage our daily lives does not fit comfortably with the predominant model of aesthetics, which consists of a disinterested spectator making a judgment on the aesthetic value of an object. Taking ‘cleaning’ as an example, this paper illuminates its rich aesthetic potential, which includes sensory and bodily engagement, development of aesthetic sensibility, activation of imagination, and cultivation of a care relationship with other people and the world.

Intelligent Evaluation Method of Interactive Experience Aesthetics Based on Eye Movement Data

The traditional intelligent evaluation method of interactive experience aesthetics has the problems of low evaluation accuracy and long evaluation time. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes an intelligent evaluation method of interactive experience aesthetics based on eye movement data. Based on three kinds of eye movement data indicators, namely, search index, processing index and other indicators, an intelligent evaluation index system of interactive experience aesthetics is constructed according to the principles of rationality of interaction mode, conformity of information structure with users’ habits and consistency of interface. Seven intelligent evaluation indexes of interactive experience aesthetics, such as density, vertical symmetry and balance, are obtained according to the evaluation index results. The obtained evaluation indexes are preprocessed by cluster analysis. According to the preprocessing results, an intelligent evaluation model of interactive experience aesthetics is constructed by the entropy method, and the evaluation results are obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high accuracy and a short evaluation time.

TOWARD A TELEMATIC AESTHETICS

This paper focuses on the Czech-born philosopher Vilém Flusser’s notion of telematic society, arguing that it implies a media-theoretical revision of Friedrich Schiller’s project for an aesthetic model of civic education, according to which aesthetic effectivity is reconsidered in light of a history of media based on a technological alternation of images and texts. After a brief overview of Schiller’s aesthetic letters, it examines the ways in which Flusser repositions and expands upon Schiller’s vision of an aesthetic education (most importantly, the aesthetic condition or middle disposition), highlighting the role that Flusser assigns to the evolution of codes inherent in the most important cultural and media techniques, namely, images, texts, and technical images. It then shows how this modification results in a forecasting of a telematic model of aesthetic education, before concluding by addressing the prospects of such a model in a post-digital world of automated media bias.

Evaluating the safety and aesthetic of a city park (Case study: Saee Park in Tehran)

Proximity to green spaces, waterside, and various cultural or recreational objects increase the quality of life. Nevertheless, the neighborhood with the urban park also has adverse effects on the quality of life. The purpose of this research is to investigate the state of aesthetics and safety in urban parks. Aesthetic service is considered as cultural services and safety service is considered as regulatory services in the park. District 6 of Tehran was selected as a case study. The aesthetic model was used to evaluate the aesthetic quality of Saee Park and the Fuzzy DEMATEL model was used to evaluate the safety of the park. The results of the aesthetic quality assessment of this research indicate that due to the presence of Saee Park in the northeast of this region, the aesthetic quality of this region is maximum in this part and the aesthetic quality of the southwest part of this region is minimum. The results of the safety evaluation in the park also show that the guards are the most influential and the paths through the parks are the most affectability. The management of the park has the most interaction with other factors of the safety system in the park. Finally, it is concluded that the management of the park is suitable for maintaining the safety of the citizens, and in combination with other factors affecting the safety of the park, it can provide a safe environment for the citizens.

ЭСТЕТИЧЕСКИЕ МОДЕЛИ ВХОЖДЕНИЯ ВОССТАНАВЛИВАЕМЫХ ПРОМЫШЛЕННЫХ ОБЪЕКТОВ В СТРУКТУРУ ОКРУЖАЮЩЕЙ ЗАСТРОЙКИ

The article presents models of aesthetic formation of reconstructed industrial objects of the Soviet period in the surrounding development in the context of sustainability at the level of the city structure, taking into account the growth of the urban fabric. The industrial enterprises in question, as a rule, initially located on the outskirts of the city. Due to the dynamics of urbanization processes, they have become tightly integrated into the urban fabric, and are currently so-called exclusion zones, since they are large-sized relative to the surrounding development objects, including residential buildings and elements of the infrastructure of its social and domestic services. It is also necessary to note the enterprises that are city-forming and located in the structure of the historical center of the urban settlement, where it is especially important to preserve the authenticity of the historical development: to introduce reconstructed industrial facilities as delicately as possible (to select the aesthetic model of the reconstructed enterprise) into the historically established visual and aesthetic code of the city. Thus, two models of aesthetic inclusion of existing industrial enterprises being restored into the city structure have been identified: mimicry, related to objects located in the historical part of the city, and accentual – forming a visual center of attraction outside the historical part of the city, on the periphery and outside the city. The article also examines options for aesthetic inclusion of industrial objects being reconstructed depending on their urban development features: the presence of buffer zones and sanitary protection zones, the presence of external railway routes adjacent to the objects

3D evaluation model of facial aesthetics based on multi-input 3D convolution neural networks for orthognathic surgery.

Quantitative evaluation of facial aesthetics is an important but also time-consuming procedure in orthognathic surgery, while existing 2D beauty-scoring models are mainly used for entertainment with less clinical impact. A deep-learning-based 3D evaluation model DeepBeauty3D was designed and trained using 133 patients' CT images. The customised image preprocessing module extracted the skeleton, soft tissue, and personal physical information from raw DICOM data, and the predicting network module employed 3-input-2-output convolution neural networks (CNN) to receive the aforementioned data and output aesthetic scores automatically. Experiment results showed that this model predicted the skeleton and soft tissue score with 0.231±0.218 (4.62%) and 0.100±0.344 (2.00%) accuracy in 11.203±2.824s from raw CT images. This study provided an end-to-end solution using real clinical data based on 3D CNN to quantitatively evaluate facial aesthetics by considering three anatomical factors simultaneously, showing promising potential in reducing workload and bridging the surgeon-patient aesthetics perspective gap.

The Cultural Codes of Home in Indian Cinema

The housing typology introduced by architects in India after independence departed dramatically from traditional settlement patterns. This break, as in Chandigarh, was an attempt to forge a new future. Concurrently, Indian cinema too set out to emphasize domesticity, yet one that alluded to real and imagined traditions. There were distinct differences, and between the two, it is cinema which ended up furnishing a more acceptable cultural and aesthetic model. Even today, cinema’s home contrasts sharply with the placeless geography of an actual house. This paper traces cinema’s typology of home in post-independence India.

Художественное решение проблемы современной молодежи в прозе А. Мизова

This paper attempts to identify the aesthetic models of Kabardino-Circassian literature in its evo-lution, through the patterns of affirmation of ideals, stereotypes and cliches, appropriate for de-termining authors and specific time periods. The object of this study is the works of one of the brightest representatives of rural prose, a follower of the “writers of the sixties” Ahmed Mizov. The work focuses on identifying the peculiarities of the modern artist’s worldview, the connection of his works with life and a pronounced attitude to the reliability of the presentation. The rele-vance of the research topic is determined by its innovative nature associated with the analysis of unexplored works of Kabardino-Circassian literature. Researchers drew the following conclusions based on their scientific research of the prose writer's work: a) A. Mizov is a master of the short story; b) a sensitive perception of the surrounding world allowed the author to create a whole gal-lery of artistic images, memorable for their immediacy; c) significant changes in social and polit-ical life, in everyday life, in the psychology of the ethnic group over the past decades, the artistic need to understand and show them underlie the novels, short stories, short stories by Ahmed Mi-zov. He fills his novels, short stories, and short stories with an artistic vision of the world. Their heroes are lively, original people, young people, mostly rural and their problems. In the course of the study of the writer’s work, a set of scientific methods was applied, including comparative, comparative-historical, description and literary analysis, which, from the point of view of usage, makes it possible to determine both structural models and the content-conceptual aspect of the artist’s work. The practical significance of the article is the results obtained, which can become a theoretical aid in further research of the work of modern authors and in the study of Kabardino-Circassian literature. They can also be used to prepare undergraduate and graduate students in philological faculties, as well as lecture courses on linked peoples’ literature and Russian litera-ture. The article is intended to facilitate the entry of works of national literature into the all-Russian cultural context.

Transforming urban industrial landscapes through art tourism – a gentrification aesthetics model from Abu Dhabi’s case

Purpose This paper aims to explore the opinions of business owners in an industrial area of Abu Dhabi that could be potentially turned into an art tourism destination. Design/methodology/approach By mobilizing the concept of “gentrification aesthetics,” the authors use a recall technique to explore support toward art from business owners, regression analyses to understand how the type and content of art predicts gentrification support and chi-square to research the differences between respondents who support the area to become a creative place and those who do not. Findings A model that explains the connection between gentrification aesthetics and art tourism is presented. Research limitations/implications The authors’ proposed model results from testing the possibilities for expanding art tourism specifically and may not apply to other types of tourism. Future research is needed to understand whether and how the model can be applied to other forms of tourist consumption. Practical implications The current research presents a case study on how tourism can be strategically expanded into more rural places in a city. Social implications The authors found significant differences between respondents who would like to see Mussafah becoming a creative place in five years and those who believe Mussafah needs to be(come) something else. Originality/value While work on tourism gentrification has been conducted, the nexus between gentrification aesthetics and art tourism cannot be found. Their relation can help to expend (art) tourism from busy cultural attractions to industrial areas. The present research fills this gap.

Foucault, Kant, and Antiquity

Michel Foucault’s return to classical antiquity at the end of his career coincides with a turn away from institutional critique and a return to Kant. This is no coincidence. Foucault’s Introduction to Kant’s “Anthropology” (1961) completely anticipates his approach to ancient subject formations, which reflects Kant’s theory of the liberal, self-enterprising, and enlightened subject as this is outlined in Foucault’s “What Is Enlightenment?” (1984) and elsewhere. Foucault’s final studies surface isolated, private, and autonomous subjects who are at once premodern, proto-Christian, and uncannily modern. Fashioned by ascetic and aesthetic models of self-care, they testify to “a genealogy of the modern subject.”

Variables that explain disordered eating behaviors among women: the mediating role of body dissatisfaction

PurposeTo analyze the role of body dissatisfaction in the relationships of sociocultural influences, depression, and anxiety with disordered eating behaviors (DEB) in a sample of female Mexican university students.MethodsA nonrandom sample of 526 female Mexican university students aged 18 to 25 years completed the Questionnaire of Influence on the Aesthetic Model of Body Shape (CIMEC-26), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-8D) and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26).ResultsThrough the mean model (χ2/df (5, n = 526) = 7.298, p = .199; NFI = .996; CFI = .999; RMSEA = .030; SRMR = .011), body dissatisfaction was found to mediate the relationships of influence of advertising, influence of social models and anxiety with DEB (restrictive dieting and bulimia). The variable with the most direct effect on restrictive dieting and bulimia was the influence of advertising. Body dissatisfaction partially mediated this relationship, as the influence of advertising had a significant direct effect on restrictive dieting and bulimia. The final model of direct and indirect effects explained 43% and 22% of the variance in restrictive dieting and bulimia, respectively.ConclusionThe present study showed that body dissatisfaction partially mediated the relationships between influence of advertising, influence of social models, and anxiety with DEB among women. Thus, these variables should be taken into account in prevention and intervention programs targeting BED.

A Critical Assessment of the Construction of the Image of Middle-aged Women in the Chinese Variety Show Sisters Who Make Waves

With the progress of society and the development of education, the status of women has gradually risen. However, under the patriarchal aesthetic model, middle-aged women are still forced to accept the judgement of patriarchy and gradually lose their "selves". This paper aims to critically assess the image of middle-aged women in the Chinese reality TV variety show Sisters Who Make Wavess to emphasise that women of different ages have the same subjective consciousness and voice on TV and in the media, and to call on middle-aged women to break away from the shackles of age, to show their self-confidence and maturity, as well as to reflect on the role of the media in the promotion of women's development and gender equality.

Evaluating the Effects of Integrating Music and Painting Aesthetics in Children’s Education: A Quantitative Study

The scope of aesthetics is often bound by the limits of sensory perception. In appreciating music and painting, information is typically processed through distinct perceptual channels. However, at the cerebral cortex and nervous system level, these modes of perception can interact and integrate, influenced by collected audiovisual information, thereby enriching the aesthetic experience and improving aesthetic efficiency. The domain of audio-visual interactive aesthetics holds significant potential in aesthetic education, yet current research in this area has made limited substantial advancements. This paper explores the functionality and impact of an audio-visual interactive aesthetic model, combining music and painting, within practical aesthetic education through a series of applied experiments. By incorporating Chinese traditional music and painting into children’s regular curriculum, we conduct a quantitative evaluating and analysis of the benefits of audio-visual multi-sensory aesthetics over single-channel perception in enhancing children’s emotional, aesthetic experiences, and cognitive abilities.

Construction of a cultural image visual perception and aesthetic model based on a deep learning algorithm

This article studies the perceptual quality evaluation method of humanistic images based on the characteristics of human vision. First, this study obtained the disparity map of the human visual cultural image and used the edge map and saliency map to correct the weight of the disparity map. The weighted disparity map was then integrated into a perceptible score using a Minkowski fused deep neural network. A multi-scale method was employed to process the image to obtain the visual effect score. Taking Polytechnic University of Lausanne (EPFL) as an example, an experimental study was conducted on the three dimensional visual quality assessment method proposed in this article. The test results with the EPFL library show that the target score obtained by this method has good consistency and monotonicity with the subjective score of the EPFL library. The article's results verify the effectiveness of the visual effects and aesthetics evaluation method proposed in this article.

For Poetry's Sake: Resistance to Translation in the German Versions of Oscar Wilde's THE BALLAD OF READING GAOL

While Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol is frequently examined within the genre of prison writing, translations of the poem push one to consider the relevance of its aestheticism within the genre of poetry. This article comparatively examines three German-language versions of the poem by Emma Clausen, Wilhelm Schölermann, and Albrecht Schaeffer to show how the practice of poetry translation resists the source object, translating for poetry’s sake. Key refrains reveal individual translators embracing their own artistic aims to create more poetry, even as the source poem simultaneously resists translation in its own way. Consideration of the genre of poetry, or what Walter Pater describes as its formal “width, variety, [and] delicacy,” ultimately encourages one to follow an aesthetic model of translation, rather than an interpretive model such as that of Lawrence Venuti. This article also draws out the value of thinking about German translations of Wilde’s prison poem, which are consistently underexamined yet prolific in number, for situating the aestheticism of one of the most widely translated literary authors in modern times.

Tamil Esthetic Tradition in a Foreign Genre: A Study of Jeyamohan’s Kaadu (2003)

In the second half of the twentieth century, the early modernist writers in Tamil, whose enthusiasm for the newly imported genre of the novel occupied most of their creative endeavors, felt the need to outgrow the confinements of their own literary tradition. However, after many decades of irreconcilable tensions with tradition, a new generation of novelists, in the last decade of the century, began to reengage with traditional esthetics through the genre of the novel itself. The advent of postmodernism into the Tamil literary scene prepared the ground for this new turn in the esthetics of Tamil writing. This paper argues that the result of this new engagement is a synthesis of traditional esthetic systems and the supposedly foreign literary genre, the novel. The argument is exemplified through a detailed analysis of a Tamil novel titled Kaadu (2003), written by Jeyamohan. Though the novel engages with modern Tamil life, it inherits multiple esthetic frameworks from the extensive Tamil literary tradition, including ancient Sangam poetics, bhakti literature, and different forms of folklore. It strings together these temporally distanced esthetic models on its narrative canvas through a multi-layered narrative structure. The analysis will show how the protagonist Giritharan’s perception of the world is mediated and shaped by different esthetic frameworks and how the novel, through a synthesis of those oppositional frameworks, creates a vision of life that belongs neither to the Tamil tradition nor to the Western esthetic models.
