Lyrics, images and performance in mainstream music videos in Spanish

The relationship between lyrics and visual band in music video is a singular form of interaction in the audiovisual production. The work aims to analyze the correspondences between the images and the song, considering music and lyrics in the most recently successful music videos in Spanish. From a wide sample of starting, a total of fifteen musical themes in Spanish of various mainstream styles (pop, hip hop, reggaeton) have been selected for the final analysis and the enunciation, structure and gestures are studied both in the song and in music video for publicity. Moreover, we studied other related elements such as the visual and aesthetic world model represented in the music video´s images and the semantic fields of the song lyrics. The findings are aimed at clarifying a differentiation by musical genres in terms of the relationship between lyrics and music. Reggaeton uses poor and vulgar semantic fields, resorting to the use of repetitive sounds within the lyrics. Rock and pop seek a co-expressiveness between music and the visual, and use gestures such as the performer's hand to build the relationship with the fan/listener.

The expression of "Balanced Harmony" aesthetic paradigm in aesthetic and artistic concepts

The so-called "Balanced Harmony" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics emphasizes the reconciliation and unity between two conflicting and confronting aspects of aesthetic things and aesthetic systems, or between two extremes and two ends. The so-called "neutral" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics, when interpreting the ontology of "beauty is harmony", puts emphasis on the reconciliation and unity between the two conflicting and confronting aspects of aesthetic things and systems, or between the two poles and the two ends of the …… system, which are balanced and neutral. The so-called "neutral" aesthetic paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics interprets the ontology of "beauty is harmony" and regards this state of reconciliation and unity, which is balanced and neutral, as the highest ideal, principle, goal and realm of aesthetics and art. The so-called "neutral" aesthetics paradigm simply means that Chinese aesthetics pays special attention to the coupling structural relationship between things of beauty and within artistic events, pays special attention to thinking between two opposing aesthetic contradictions, and is particularly good at using the simple and dialectical "dichotomous" method to understand and explain the aesthetic world.

Mortality Anxiety and Aesthetic Engagements: A Reading in Katherine Anne Porter's Pale Horse, Pale Rider

The article analyses the effect of performance arts (dance, music, and writing) on the central character Miranda in Katherine Anne Porter's novella Pale Horse, Pale Rider. The study situates itself within the discourse of pandemics and the discourse of expressive arts. In addition to establishing the correspondence between mortality anxiety and aesthetic engagements, it explores the testimonies of performance arts in Pale Horse, Pale Rider and its impact on its central character Miranda who lives a stressful life induced by the Spanish influenza of 1918 and World War I. Dancing, singing, and writing are expressive activities that belong to the world of aesthetics and senses. Besides, as the findings of the study suggest, they are affirmative responses of Porter against the war and pandemic of 1918. They offer pleasure, ecstasy, escape, and liberty.

The Recent Use, Patient Satisfaction, and Advancement in Digital Smile Designing: A Systematic Review.

Digital smile designing (DSD) is a concept of dentistry which combines the old and the new and becomes a different world in the world of smile aesthetics and functionality. Dental aesthetics is not just a cosmetic issue but a multidimensional part of oral health that has a great impact on psychological well-being, social life, functional capabilities, and, hence, the quality of life. To put it simply, the recognition of its significance stresses the necessity of complete dental care which is the one that combines beauty and function as well as health. This systematic review aims to analyze the recent use and patient satisfaction of DSD and to show the recent advances in DSD. A thorough literature search was conducted across the online databases for articles about the implementation of digital smile analysis in dentistry. The articles that were published between 2013 and 2023 on DSD were selected which included randomized and non-randomized trials and observational studies covering the effectiveness, advantages, and patients' opinions about the treatment. The National Institutes of Health tool was applied for bias assessment. Ten studies were selected to address the use of DSD in dentistry based on the inclusion criteria. The findings from these studies suggest that DSD is useful in improving communication, reducing working time, minimizing errors, enhancing patient satisfaction, and providing clinical adequacy for final prosthetic pieces, indicating the usefulness of this approach in dental procedures.Smile designing using digital technologies has the potential to improve dental aesthetics and treatment procedures while showcasing their reliability and clinical effectiveness.

Case study: the rise in dissolving unnatural-looking fillers in aesthetics

Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Chelsea Sharp describes her experience managing a patient with migrated lip fillers. In the constant changing world of medical aesthetics, there has been a notable shift in recent years towards a more natural aesthetic look. Increasingly, patients are choosing to dissolve unnatural-looking fillers to embrace their natural features with more natural rejuvenating treatments. Chelsea Sharp promotes a holistic approach for all of her patients and strives for a natural look. Therefore, when she assesses a patient in consultation as being ‘overfilled’ she will often suggest dissolving previous work before retreating.

Exosomes in the Real World of Medical Aesthetics: A Review.

Exosomes are cell-derived nanovesicles that transport proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids and play a significant role in almost every physiological process in the human body. They have generated great interest, especially in the field of tissue regeneration. Studies in the last decade support their great regenerating and rejuvenating potential. However, the lack of standardized procedures, limited knowledge regarding their action mechanism, and little clinical evidence impair their implementation and approval in the medical setting. This review aimed to identify published studies and clinical trials using exosomes in human patients for clinical treatments in aesthetic medicine. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed database using the search term "exosomes" and 25 terms related to aesthetic medicine treatments in human patients. Additionally, a search was conducted in the ClinicalTrials.gov database for interventional clinical trials using exosomes for aesthetic treatments in adults 18 to ≥ 65 years of age. Nine articles were selected after debugging the initial list of published articles in which exosomes were related to Aesthetic Medicine (633 articles). Nine studies were identified from the initial search on ClinicalTrial.gov (104 trials with exosomes). There is no doubt about the scientific basis of exosome regenerative potential and the growing interest in exosomes in Aesthetic Medicine. However, companies must spend more on research to develop standardized and reliable procedures to obtain exosomes for their approval and application in clinical practice. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 . This review highlights the large amount of published research on exosomes related to aesthetic medicine and, at the same time, the lack of products approved by regulatory agencies. Several issues have been suggested to elucidate a response, such as the need for standardized protocols and more knowledge to ensure safe treatments. It also highlights the few clinical trials conducted to evaluate exosome properties in aesthetic medicine treatments.

A comprehensive review of the medical and cosmetic applications of exosomes in dermatology.

Exosomes are a subset of extracellular vesicles that are released by all cell types and are theorized to play a crucial role in intercellular communication. Ranging from 40 to 160 nm in diameter, exosomes contain a variety of genetic materials including DNA, RNA, mRNA, metabolites, proteins, and lipids depending on their cellular origin. Given that intercellular communication is abetted by the exchange of cellular components via exosomes, their applied use can have important implications for disease pathology and exosome-based therapeutics. We provide a comprehensive review of the current application of exosomes in medical (and skin) diseases and in cutaneous medical aesthetics. A literature search was conducted on PubMed reviewing exosomes and their application in medical and aesthetic fields. While the therapeutic use of exosomes in the treatment of medical and cosmetic dermatological procedures is promising, it is also important to note that most studies implementing exosomes as therapeutic agents have been conducted in preclinical models, thus highlighting the need for additional studies and clinical trials. One more important note in the aesthetic world associated with exosomes is that in the United States, at the time of this writing, exosomes may only be topically applied and not injected into the skin, as is done in many countries worldwide. There is a need for additional studies and clinical trials to evaluate the safety and therapeutic effect and safety of exosomes in medical and aesthetic fields.

From Monism to Pluralism: Cassirer’s Interpretation of Kant

Kant’s theory of cognition aimed to explain the possibility of scientific knowledge. Aesthetics and life science were not considered by Kant in the context of cognition. By contrast, Cassirer set himself a philosophical task to extend Kant’s theory of cognition to all forms of culture, including pre-scientific knowledge and aesthetics. The present study demonstrates how Cassirer explained the possibility of different objective forms, named symbolic, by employing and transforming Kant’s theory of cognition. For this goal, Cassirer took the following steps: modified the definitions of a priori synthesis (the act of understanding) and pure intuition (the forms of space and time) - main building blocks of Kant’s cognition; indicated the necessary correlation of intuition and synthesis; characterized a priori synthesis and the intuition as notions which include contradicted meanings. Cassirer called this contradiction “twofold oppositions” as characteristic of a priori synthesis. The first argument of the article is that the possibility of various synthetic acts is rooted in the nature of a priori synthesis which carries together two different meanings: the act of uniting elements and the initial unity. One synthetic act forms the world of nature and is connected to scientific space and time, and the other is the product of immediate perceptional space and time, from which the world of myth and aesthetics appears. Thus, Cassirer expanded the scope of “pure” synthesis. The second argument is that Cassirer specified a priori synthesis and pure intuition as a functional concept. The functional concept belongs to the model of concept as-relation that Cassirer has elaborated. It includes moments that are separated and united simultaneously. This definition of concept breaks the rules of consistency. The concept of as-relation justifies the contradictory characteristics of a priori synthesis and pure intuition, which include both the combination of moments in a synthesizing act and the initial unity of intuition.

Integrating an Intercultural Aesthetic World: Hong Liu’s The Magpie Bridge and The Touch

ABSTRACT Representing China’s history is a narrative tradition of Anglophone Chinese literature, and it is usually considered an effective way for authors to participate in multicultural marketing. This study, however, expounds that Hong Liu’s two novels on Chinese history, The Magpie Bridge and The Touch, featured with cultural translation, represent cosmopolitan literary practice beyond the frame of nation-state and ethnicity. Both address the Chinese in diaspora: their present lives are frequently linked with the past via specific Chinese symbols – the ‘mirror’ and the ‘touch’, which are endowed with English connotations through translation and reveal the intercultural aesthetic world Liu crafts. Analysis of intercultural symbolism, where different aesthetic traditions are treated equally, distinguishes her writing from the marketing of exoticism that subordinates the ‘foreign’, demonstrating her contribution to the discursive diversity of English-language literature by minority writers. In this sense, Liu’s narrative performance of Chinese history engages in the negotiated process of transformation of Anglophone Chinese literary discourse and practices post-Eurocentric cosmopolitanism towards boundary-crossing world literature.

Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes Following Spreader Graft Placement in Deviated Noses: A 5 Year Experience

Aim: To describe the functional and aesthetic outcome following rhinoplasty using spreader grafts in post traumatic deviated noses. Design: Rretrospective cohort study Place and duration of study: July 2017 to August 2022 Methods A retrospective data analysis of patients was done who had undergone Rhinoplasty for post traumatic deviated noses using spreader grafts from July 2017 to August 2022. Patients undergoing revision rhinoplasty, incomplete description of preoperative deformities and per operative maneuvers to correct the deformities, and incomplete photographic record were excluded. The study population consisted of 11 female patients and 19 male patients. Mean (Standard Deviation) age of the patients was 30 (8) years (range 16-48 years). The follow up post-operatively was from 12 - 26 months (mean, 15±3 months). Postoperative aesthetic outcome was assessed by the patient him/her self and 2 independent surgeons using pre and postoperative photographs. Functional outcomes and complications were also evaluated. Results: Study by two plastic surgeons found that out of the total 30 patients 22 had no post operative residual deformity, 7 had residual deformity not requiring revision and only 1 patient had a residual deformity that would require revision surgery. The patient outcome showed that out of the total 30 patients 20 were satisfied with their postoperative result, 9 thought that their postoperative nose was better than their preoperative nose and 1 patient was dissatisfied with the postoperative result. Over all the obstructive symptoms improved after surgery and only two patients complained of unilateral partial nasal obstruction at one year follow up. No complication occurred in any patient. Practical implication Conclusion: We conclude that the use of spreader graft as we have achieved good functional as well as precise aesthetic results, without recurrence of the problem. This will open new gateways in world of aesthetics and reconstruction . Keywords: Spreader grafts, nasal valve collapse, deviated nasal septum, post operative assessment.

The prism of self-translation: poiesis and poetics of Yu Guangzhong’s bilingual poetry

ABSTRACT The activity of self-translation may be seen as a mise-en-scène of the hybrid auctorial self, as well as an ideal stage for a reconstruction of meanings, through a second original. As a (re)creative paradigm, self-translation echoes the concept of poiesis as a ‘bringing into appearance’, according to Heidegger’s interpretation, namely as a crystallisation of the refracted facets of language and self. In this connection, the genetic approach may represent a tool to access the aesthetic world of the writer (the poietes) and to explore his (re)creative process. This paper discusses the case-study of the distinguished Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong (1928–2017), and his self-translated poetry collected in Shouye ren 守夜人/The Night Watchman. Through a comparative reading of three selected bilingual poems with their manuscript versions, this paper aims to investigate Yu’s poetics of self-translation, while observing through the multi-layered spectrum of a linguistic and cultural rendering.

Through the development of soft sculpture art, the development space of sculpture art is expanded, so that the audience can experience the warm and soft artistic characteristics of soft sculpture art through the unique texture of fiber materials.

The Specter of Slavery in the British Art Museum

In Pieter Wonder’s oil painting, Patrons and Lovers of Art (1830), considered to be an idealised prefiguration of London’s National Gallery, we can identify sixteen British gentlemen collectors and connoisseurs, and forty-four Old Master and British paintings which are today considered collection highlights of major art museums across Europe and North America. This essay focuses on the lives of two of Wonder’s sitters in order to better understand how transatlantic slavery is deeply ingrained in Britain’s cultural past. The painting provides a useful springboard for considering the cultural legacies of slave-ownership, highlighting the myriad connections between the brutal system of colonial slavery and the world of aesthetics and taste, and encouraging reflection about a history that has for so long remained silent. In uncovering the sources of wealth which helped to facilitate the development and lavish display of such grand collections, it becomes possible to reconsider our understanding of the history of art collecting in the early decades of the nineteenth century. The essay argues that today art museums across Europe and North America are faced with an urgent moral imperative to acknowledge and better understand the extent of their debt to transatlantic slavery.

Женское мировоззрение писателя или эстетический мир литературы (размышления о термине «женская проза»)

Modern Chuvash literature, like other national literatures, is developing in many ways. This is clearly shown by those works in which new phenomena are formed that were previously alien to the literature of the Soviet period. The relevance of the article is connected with the need to determine the place and role of the concept of "women's prose" in Chuvash artistic creativity. The artistic world of Chuvash literature is primarily based on the worldview of the people and the uniqueness of the Chuvash language. Therefore, very often typical phenomena of Russian and world literature for the Chuvash literature become insignificant. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to present arguments in favor of the statement that the aesthetic world of the work is not directly related to the author's gender. The subject of the research in this article is the prose works of Chuvash women writers (Yu. Silem, U. Elmen, R. Prokopieva). In the course of the study, the following results were obtained: the writer's worldview includes many components, the most significant of them are the gender and nationality of the author; the concept of "women's prose" is not relevant for Chuvash literature, since it manifests itself only within the framework of individual works and is mainly associated with philosophical, psychological and lyrical the style of the writer.

Intertextuality in Native Advertising of International Glossy Magazines (of Tatler Magazine)

The article is devoted to the problem of intertextuality in native commercial advertising as one of the most modern technologies for promoting goods and services on the market. The types of intertextual inclusions in the international glossy magazine Tatler” is systematized in the paper and their functional potential is described. The choice of the research source is due to the significant influence of transnational media on the process of homogenization of cultural pictures of the world of different ethnic groups and the prototypical nature of the journal as an encyclopedia of the lifestyle of a successful person. It is proved that the native advertising discourse of “Tatler” magazine is characterized by the presence of a complex system of verifiable intertextual units, including quotes from fashion designers, models, actors, etc., transformed and non-transformed text applications from different source areas, precedent names, hashtags with an allusive function. It is noted that the analyzed units are multifunctional and perform informative, attractive, expressive, suggestive, compositional-playing and other functions. The author comes to the conclusion that the whole system of intertextual inclusions of “Tatler” native advertising is aimed at creating and maintaining a myth about the existence of a special “Tatler man” in the visually aesthetic world of luxury, whose image becomes a tool for forming the social status identity of the addressee of the advertising message.

Review: <i>On an Empty Stomach: Two Hundred Years of Hunger Relief</i>, by Tom Scott-Smith

Sources of abdulla aripov's literary and aesthetic world

This article discusses the sources of Abdulla Aripov's literary and aesthetic world. The author analyzes the poet's work on the basis of sources. The poet interprets the criterion of destiny in connection with the names of these two great creators. Fate is an industry that is difficult for anyone to understand. For in the face of destiny, the maple and the hash are equal. The most important aspect of Mirtemir's teaching status is that he treats students with respect and can set an example for them in the area of responsibility. He mentions their name with great reverence and respect. Because one of them is the truth for the poet, the second is the symbol of courage, the third is the symbol of struggle, and the fourth is the symbol of humanity.

РОСЛИННА ОБРАЗНІСТЬ В ЕСТЕТИЦІ КУЛЬТОВИХ ПРАКТИК ВІРМЕНСЬКОЇ АПОСТОЛЬСЬКОЇ ЦЕРКВИ

The article is devoted to the study of plant imagery as an important aesthetic-semantic component of the cult practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The Armenian Apostolic Church is not only a unique, ancient institution among the circle of Christian churches, but also represents an original cultural world, manifested in a cult rich in its theological content and artistic form, that's why it deserves to be present in the religious studies, aesthetic, cultural, historical research discourses. Using textological, semiotic and phenomenological methods, the authors analyze the implicit content of individual plant images of the cult space of the church. Various elements of the Armenian sacred art were used to reveal the foundations of the dogma, which ensured the formation of an original the-aesthetics. Armenian sacral art formed the aesthetic world of imagery of the Christian religion. The organic inclusion of plant imagery in the general Christian picture of the world, reflected in the artistic representations of the art of sacral sculpture and church poetry, the inspiration of which was the biblical and early Christian imagery, which symbolic interpretations deepened the understanding of the evangelical truths and constituted the original aesthetic world of the Armenian national culture was proved. In the article, the authors pay attention to the study of plant imagery in cult practices, in particular with the example of monumental khachkars, liturgical texts of the shakarans dedicated to the Holy Virgin and the Christian saints, which are especially popular among the Armenian people, first of all St. Gregory the Illuminator. Thus, the plant imagery occupies an important place in the temple cult practices of the Armenian Apostolic Church, as well as in the aesthetic sphere of the Armenian national culture and ethno-consciousness.
