An interdisciplinary comparison between artistic and juridical phenomena

This article aims to analyze the interdisciplinarity between the artistic and legal phenomenon. Within this topic, the potentialization of Art and Law are exposed, since, together, they can present a tool that goes beyond artistic entertainment and legal dogmatics, therefore, conferences and analogies will be made between the studied objects. Through Art, some concepts will be addressed and conceptualized, they are: logopathic understanding and the “image-concept”, artistic themes that are linked with filmic language. The contextualization of both concepts takes place through the use of cinema in Varguista propaganda. At the end of the article, there is a resumption of the interdisciplinary analysis between artistic and legal phenomena under the bias of Aristotle’s Poetics, work responsible for exploring the representation of reality through two concepts that the philosopher called: Mimesis and Catharsis. Other authors from the field of Politics, Communication and Language will be mobilized to achieve the respective objective of the article.

Issues of integrated teaching of Georgian language in connection with art subjects

The integrated lesson is the most common form of interdisciplinary teaching. Interdisciplinary teaching itself is a method or a set of methods, which is used for interdisciplinary teaching of the subjects provided by the curriculum (study plan). It sort of brings together separate disciplines in terms of studying/solving a common topic, issue or problem. For this purpose, we focused on the teaching of Georgian language and literature by integrating it with art subjects (film art, folk and classical music, fine arts). We focused on individual disciplines around a common theme and taught the students the issue in a multifaceted, integrated way. We became convinced of the power of song, namely, the lullaby; using integrated teaching, the phenomenon and power of the lullaby; In the power that returned the girl who turned into a woman from Leki to her Georgian roots.

THE QUEST FOR UTOPIA IN BLACK THEATRE: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF NGUGI WA THING’O’S THE BLACK HERMIT

Utopia, the idea of a perfect society, has been a central theme in literature, philosophy, and art for centuries. The desire for utopia has inspired countless visionaries and reformers, who have sought to create a better world through various means, such as religion, ideology, science, or art. However, utopia has also been criticized and ridiculed as an impossible or even dangerous dream, that distracts us from the reality of our imperfect and flawed world.
 Ngugi Wa Thing’o, a prominent Kenyan writer and activist, has addressed the theme of utopia in many of his works, including his play The Black Hermit. Written in the 1960s, at a time of great political and cultural upheaval in Africa and beyond, The Black Hermit offers a complex and nuanced exploration of the quest for utopia in the context of black theatre. Through the character of the Black Hermit, a revolutionary who withdraws from the world to live in solitude, Ngugi raises questions about the nature and meaning of utopia, and its relationship to the struggles and aspirations of black people.
 The aim of this research is to deepen our understanding of Ngugi's work and thought by analysing The Black Hermit as a text that engages with the theme of utopia in a creative and thought-provoking way. It also examines how Ngugi uses the play to critique and challenge various utopia-building projects, and to propose his own vision of utopia as a process of becoming. The research also considers the relevance and significance of Ngugi's utopia to the contemporary world and the ways in which it speaks to universal human concerns.

“Autophagic landscapes: on the paradox of survival through self-degradation” – a science-inspired exhibition

ABSTRACT The Complexity Science Hub Vienna is hosting an autophagy-based art exhibition that shows the artwork by Ayelen Valko and Dorotea Fracchiolla, two artists who are also scientists engaged in autophagy research. This exhibition, called “Autophagic landscapes: on the paradox of survival through self-degradation”—which will be open to the general public from January to May 2023—proposes a visual journey from entire organisms toward the interior of a single cell. The core ideas represented in the exhibited artworks are the molecular mechanisms and vesicular dynamics of autophagy-two phenomena that have been feeding the imagination of the two artists, inspiring the creation of art that depicts intriguing subcellular landscapes. Although the microscale bears very valuable aesthetic features, it is not a common subject in art. Correcting this is the main aim of this exhibition and of the two artists.

Între viață și cărți. Despre neajunsurile și beneficiile ratării

This study analyses the relationship between failure and success from two perspectives: creative psychology and sociology of creation. By starting from Angelo Mitchievici’s recent book, “Farmecul vieților distruse. Câteva reflecții despre ratare” [The Charm of Failed Lives] (2022), which explores one of the favorite themes of decadent literature and art (failure), I aim to highlight the most relevant existential postures in a writer’s life: the anti-bourgeois aristocratic posture (the dandy) and the proletarian-democratic posture (the bohemian). It is not by chance that Mitchievici dwells on the works the Romanian-French writer Emil Cioran, who tried to build an image of a secluded writer, close to anonymity, avoiding to cultivate both the bohemian and the dandy style, by adopting a lifestyle shaped by the cult of work and discipline, in the spirit of the Protestant ethics theorized by Max Weber. Mitchievici explains very convincingly how, once he emigrated to Paris, Cioran completely abandoned the Romanian language, in which he was convinced he was failing as a writer, in order to devote himself exclusively to writing in French, with the idea of conquering global glory. In addition to Cioran, the authors in focus are Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Dino Buzzatti, Mihail Sadoveanu, Mircea Cărtărescu, etc., which provides the critic with the opportunity to reconnect with his former books (e.g. “Decadență și decadentism în contextul modernității românești și europene”, 2011) and to show a refined and mature essayist’s vein.

The Importance of Street Art in Rejuvenating Urban Tourism in Bandar Hilir, Melaka

Objective: Street art is typically done in public locations and conveys a strong political or social message. Historically, street art has been associated with deviating from standard traditions in subjects or artistic forms. Graffiti motifs, such as huge bubble text or smaller decorative scripts, are frequently used in artists' works. Many know that street art is a piece created illegally; the urban planner’s scale and duration are often crucial variables in making street art. Artists commonly use spray paint and stencils to paint big surfaces, such as walls, in a short amount of time. The research focused on Bandar Hilir Melaka’s street arts and the transformation of unappealing street stores into a distinctive reflection of Melaka as a historical city. This research aimed to discover how important street arts are in Bandar Hilir from a tourism standpoint. The study's goal, however, is to look at the situation from the perspective of local tourists and conduct an observation analysis. The researchers used Nvivo 12 to analyze the study's data, providing a framework for model content configuration and insightful information. The information was gathered by interviewing 18 people using simple sampling and observation techniques. To produce the original model, qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, which included the construction of codes and themes, as well as enlarged ideas for the literature of each main theme and five themes. Findings: At Bandar Hilir, the primary themes of street art are accessibility in walking, followed by serenity, the landscape environment, family togetherness, and the image established by street art. Finally, the street art characteristics of the streets significantly impact the tourism business.

Using E-Textiles to Challenge Gender Perceptions in STEM, Design and Career Aspirations of Secondary School Students

STEM subjects in the secondary school curriculum are largely the domain of boys, and the creative arts subjects are predominantly the territory of girls. This disparity permeates into higher education and leads to a gender imbalance in the workforce. This paper investigates issues of gender bias in the secondary school curriculum and explores student perceptions and self-efficacy for future academic success. Using the medium of electronic textiles (e-textiles) the research considers if multidisciplinary and co-design approaches to teaching could create a more gender-equitable environment, bring about a mindset shift in students’ gender perceptions, and alter their perspectives for future university choices. A mixed-gender group of 32 secondary school students from different subject disciplines across science, technology and art and design took part in a year-long study. They were given opportunities to work on a co-design project which sought to break down barriers between subject disciplines and challenge stereotypical perceptions of the “type” and gender of student in each discipline. Students were introduced to an e-textiles project called “ElectroTex” which sought to challenge the current hidden-gendered curriculum. It drew upon curriculum topics from physics, computing, technology and art and design. The research was underpinned by overlapping frameworks of Social Cognitive Theory and Value Expectancy Theory. A mixed methodology approach comprising Action Research and Co-design was sandwiched between pre- and post-project questionnaires which determined how students’ perceptions had altered as a result of the project. The experiential learning demonstrated that students were able to connect science with design and harness the value of their collaborative knowledge by applying it to real life situations. The outcomes show that a multidisciplinary approach to learning can re-frame students’ perspectives on gender in the curriculum, empower them to consider design and science in mutually beneficial contexts, and raise their aspirations for future success.

Placement model for students into appropriate academic class using machine learning

Choosing the right academic major for junior secondary students into senior secondary school will assist both students and their teachers toward achieving the academic goal. Traditionally, students seeking admission into senior classes (Gambia, Sierra-leone, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria) must have passed stipulated examinations like Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and/or West Africa Junior Certificate Examination, which are done at the end of year three (at a sitting). They must pass the exam(s) satisfactorily with no emphasis on any of Science, Art or Commercial related subjects. Some schools use “Mock exam” or “Placement exam” as the basis for their placement of students but all are done at a sitting (end of year three). Though this method is to an extent valid but associated with some challenges (bias) as it does not carry along the student’s academic history in making decision for placement into appropriate class. However, we proposed a model that predicts appropriate academic class of Science, Art or Commercial for Junior students based on their progressive academic performances (history) of their predecessors on related subjects using ten supervised machine learning techniques. Two evaluation techniques were applied (70/30 splitting and 10-fold cross validation). The highest results of this research showed accuracy of 93% with Random forest, 98% precision with random forest, 99% recall with Decision tree and 94% f1 score with Random forest and KNN (cross validation). The correlation coefficient of the proposed model recorded 0.3 higher than that of the existing method. This research will benefit all stakeholders in education and students in particular because their academic performances over time stands a better chance for appropriate placement.

입체조형을 통한 초등미술 교육의 확장

This paper aims to examine the development potential of elementary art education through educational methods and examples through various production methods based on the overall understanding of the three-dimensional form, one of the genres of elementary art education. In the past, sculptures were simply subject to objects, and had a strong monumental tendency to deal only with form and physical properties. However, in contemporary art, the ways and objects of the realm of stereoscopic art are diverse, and the spatial occupation of stereoscopic art stimulates human perception and is developing endlessly into expressions, forms, and spaces that stimulate it. Therefore, this study will examine our lives and cultures through contemporary stereoscopic art, various media and spaces, childhood when aesthetic communication ability first occurs through creative expression, and art education and characteristics of elementary school students. Discuss teaching methods and children's cases related to elementary art subjects, after-school schools, and external elementary art classes, which are basic education. It is a meaningful study to examine the meaning, current achievements, and development plans by comparing and analyzing the cases of formal learning in school and expanded education in the suburbs through learning suitable for various fields, spaces, and situations of elementary art education.

A Study on the Operation of College Liberal Arts Education for the Improvement of Quantitative Reasoning Competency as Data Literacy

The goal of this study is to suggest the potential and significance of quantitative reasoning education as a college liberal arts program and to come up with methods to improve it. To do so, this study analyzed the case of <Quantitative Reasoning and Computational Thinking> at S National University, presenting its achievements, weaknesses, and improvement plans. From the first semester in 2020, <Quantitative Reasoning and Computational Thinking> at S National University has been offered as a semi-compulsory subject with the purpose of cultivating quantitative reasoning based on quantitative relationships and computational thinking for everyday algorithms. In the class, instructors refrain from using mere problem solving using mathematical and/or scientific formulas, and instead an activity-oriented learning approach is emphasized. This allows for the students to interpret quantitative data based on logical algorithms. According to a survey about this subject, most students were satisfied with its contents and reported that it had helped them solve problems creatively based on quantitative and computational thinking. Nevertheless, various problematic issues such as the low enrollment of students in the humanities and social sciences, the dualization of subject operation between classes, and the difficulty in securing lecturers, were raised. To address these issues, it is necessary for us to expand awareness among students that <Quantitative Reasoning and Computational Thinking> aims to promote thinking ability through the understanding and interpretation of quantitative data. Also, it is important that we have faculties that operate on a consistent basis, so that the courses offered are able to meet the goals of the subject. By applying these improvements, the effort to develop liberal arts subjects that enhance students’ data-driven scientific thinking should be continued.

Investigating Online Art Search through Quantitative Behavioral Data and Machine Learning Techniques

Studying searcher behavior has been a cornerstone of search engine research for decades, since it can lead to a better understanding of user needs and allow for an improved user experience. Going beyond descriptive data analysis and statistics, studies have been utilizing the capabilities of Machine Learning to further investigate how users behave during general purpose searching. But the thematic content of a search greatly affects many aspects of user behavior, which often deviates from general purpose search behavior. Thus, in this study, emphasis is placed specifically on the fields of Art and Cultural Heritage. Insights derived from behavioral data can help Culture and Art institutions streamline their online presence and allow them to better understand their user base. Existing research in this field often focuses on lab studies and explicit user feedback, but this study takes advantage of real usage quantitative data and its analysis through machine learning. Using data collected by real world usage of the Art Boulevard proprietary search engine for content related to Art and Culture and through the means of Machine Learning-powered tools and methodologies, this article investigates the peculiarities of Art-related online searches. Through clustering, various archetypes of Art search sessions were identified, thus providing insight on the variety of ways in which users interacted with the search engine. Additionally, using extreme Gradient boosting, the metrics that were more likely to predict the success of a search session were documented, underlining the importance of various aspects of user activity for search success. Finally, through applying topic modeling on the textual information of user-clicked results, the thematic elements that dominated user interest were investigated, providing an overview of prevalent themes in the fields of Art and Culture. It was established that preferred results revolved mostly around traditional visual Art themes, while academic and historical topics also had a strong presence.

Data collection uses test results in the form of a pretest and posttest. The data analysis used is descriptive, hypothesis test, and gain test. The results showed that the average post-test value of 73.75 was higher than the average pretest value of 40.47. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the Sig value was <0.001, which means it is smaller than α (0.05), then H0 was rejected, which showed a significant difference in the use of Microsoft Sway application media to cultural arts learning outcomes. The average value gain was 0.5466 (52.79%). The table of n-gain criteria shows that 0.3 ≤ 0.5466 ≤ 0.7, which belongs to the medium category. This shows that using Microsoft Sway application media can effectively improve student learning outcomes.

Risk assessment of first-line treatment failure in untreated HIV patients in Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation

The HIV infection epidemic in Russia continues to evolve, and HIV infection cases have been registered in all territorial entities of the Russian Federation. 2021 Treatment coverage was 82.2% and 56.4% individuals under dispensary observation and living with diagnosed HIV infection. 79.9% receiving ART subjects were shown to achieve undetectable viral load. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) currently represents a combination of three (less frequently four) antiretroviral drugs targeting pathways involved in various stages of HIV replication in vivo. Treatment failure is a problem facing doctors and patients using HAART. The most common cause of therapeutic failure is the development of HIV drug resistance. The emergence of resistance is associated with processes involving mutation occurring in the viral genome influenced by evolutionary factors. Therefore, it is important clinically and programmatically to learn more about the rate of first-line treatment failure, the rate of switching to a second-line ART regimen, and to identify patients at risk to develop strategies for preventing development of further failure cases. The study was aimed at analyzing ineffectiveness of first-line ART therapy in patients in Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. Sequencing reactions were performed using the AmpliSens HIV Resist-Seq. Assembly of consensus sequences from fragments obtained during sequencing was carried out using Unipro UGENE software. Isolate genotyping was performed using the MEGA-X software with the Neighbor-joining algorithm. Results. The HIV pol genes in 239 patients with first-line ART failure and 100 nave patients were sequenced; all sequences genotyped as HIV-1 subsubtype A6. According to analysis, 82% of patients had at least one significant mutation associated with drug resistance for the corresponding viral subtype. In total, we encountered 87 different drug resistance mutations. Conclusion. We have shown increased proportion of patients with first-line ART failure among all patients with treatment failure. The main cause for such changes is probably related to the prevalence of primary drug resistance, estimated here at 8%. Specific differences were found between drug resistance mutation profiles in patients without suppressed viral load and patients with virological breakthrough. The overall results of the study indicate a need to diagnose and characterize HIV drug resistance prior to initiation of therapy in order to avoid ineffective first-line antiretroviral treatment.

Architectural Design Method Suggestion with Machine Learning Technologies Based on Voronoi Diagram Principle

Today, computer and new art themes are important resources that can reflect its own logic to architectural design inputs and architectural products by opening new horizons in architectural concepts. The fact that art, and therefore architecture, has started to benefit from digital technologies that change the boundaries of life and can be produced with digital media tools, creates a new conceptual discussion and application environment open to development, transformation and experimentation. In the literature, many theories have been produced on the development of digital art, architecture and technology. However, studies should be conducted on the effective/possible methods in architectural design such as digital technologies and digital arts, interactive/text-based artificial intelligence interfaces, and how these methods will transform and change architectural design and architectural identity. With the creation of the architectural form through text-based artificial intelligence interfaces, a new design and production process is envisaged for the discipline of architecture with its possibilities such as autonomous and rapid alternative generation according to various contexts. In this study, architectural plan and form experiments were carried out with the principle of Voronoi diagram, which is a productive and algorithmic system with text-based artificial intelligence interfaces. In this context, it would not be wrong to say that the Voronoi diagram is fractal representations for the resulting products obtained in a fast and autonomous process with multiple alternatives. Architecture, which is in a constant transformation depending on time, technologies and users, will seek a new aesthetic with new production and expression techniques.

Penguasaan Tangga Nada Bagi Pelajar Kelas X SMAN Benlutu Melalui Latihan Bermain Pianika

KKN is a form of implementation of the dharma of service that provides work and learning experience for students in community empowerment. One form of activity in the KKN program is training activities to master scales for students of Class X SMA N Benlutu through pianika playing exercises. This activity aims to make students know how to operate the pianika musical instrument. The stages of service implementation began with observation, core activities of introducing the pianika instrument and documentation. Based on the results of observations and interviews, one of the factors causing the low ability to play the pianika instrument is the absence of a music teacher so that the art subject teacher teaches music. In addition, the lack of teacher knowledge about music learning is because teachers are more dominant in providing information than implementing learning through practice or training. The results of this training showed an improvement in the participants' ability to master scales in music. The participants also showed a greater love and interest in music, as well as a passion to continue learning and developing their skills in music. This training activity is expected to be one of the efforts to increase interest and achievement in music, especially among SMA N Benlutu students

Christian images in the operas by the European composers of the nineteenth century

Statement of the problem. Undoubtedly, the operas by G. Rossini, G. Verdi, F. Halévy, and G. Meyerbeer, which appeared in the Romantic era, belong to secular culture. However, all of them, in one way or another, used plots and motifs from the religious experience of people, delineating the image of a man of faith (Homo Credens) as a cross-cutting theme of art, the “crossing point” of the secular and religious worlds. Therefore, researchers and performers of opera music face the problem of understanding the religious and spiritual component of the opera genre through the assimilation of the imagery and plot specificity and genre symbolism of the musical language, which goes back to Christian services. The identification of Christian influences helps to understand the depth of the spiritual content of the opera work, through musical symbolism to feel the religious and ethical “resonances” of the existence of a new European person who makes sense of his history, which is inseparable from Christian culture. This makes it possible to reproduce both the objective factors of the Christian worldview embedded in the plot, as well as the hidden meanings of the spiritual content of the opera work, its musical and linguistic resources. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the article is to trace the connections between the vocal and stage images of romantic opera with Christian religious themes, the interpretation of which is often a performance problem for modern artists-vocalists. The performance aspect of the problem of the presence of Christian content in opera works has not yet come under the “focus” of the researchers of this topic. The attempt to reveal Christian influences on the vocal and scenic images of opera works in this article is carried out on the platform of spiritual-semantic analysis (Aleksandrova, 2018) of genre and stylistic specificity of the operas by G. Rossini, G. Verdi, F. Halévy, and G. Meyerbeer. Results and conclusion. The opera works of Western European composers of the 19th century demonstrate the constant presence of images related to the Christian religious tradition, in particular biblical ones. This is the introducing of characters that are connected to Church life, or plot lines and motifs that unfold against the background of Christian history. In G. Rossini’s opera “Moses in Egypt” we meet the case of the most complete approximation of the libretto to the story from the Old Testament. A sign of the presence of Christian imagery in the semantic range of a secular opera work is the prayer genre represented by arias or choruses. Observations on the embodiment of religious themes (plot motifs that go back to Christian history, characters of personages related to church life, ideas and symbols of Christianity, genre semantics, interpretation of iconic figures by famous singers F. Furlanetto and R. Raimondi) in the operas of the Romantic era led us to certain conclusions about the specifics of vocal-stage reproduction of figurativeness of the Christian tradition. ● Vocal intonation is derived from the way of thinking and worldview. Therefore, due attention to the performer’s understanding of Christian imagery and plot is important for the correct use of vocal and stage techniques that contribute to an adequate interpretation of the image and the work as a whole. ● If the artist’s interpretation of the vocal and stage image corresponds to the spiritual and religious content of the work, then in this case it embodies and presents to the viewer certain aspects of the spiritual ideal – the Christian image of a person, Homo Credens. Therefore, revealing the connections between opera as a secular genre and the Christian value system on the basis of the spiritual-semantic analysis of the opera image contributes to the self-improvement of performers, the growth of their spiritual maturity, general erudition and culture.
