‘Landscapes’: Andy Warhol and Victor Hugo’s collaborations in gay sex and art

ABSTRACT In 2014, the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University received 3600 contact sheets from Andy Warhol’s Minox 35EL camera, charting the full range of his black-and-white photography from 1976 until his death in 1987. A remarkable subset of the sheets capture explicit gay sexual activity, most shot for Warhol’s late-1970s Torsos and Sex Parts series. I provide a history and visual analysis of these pornographic images, many of which star Warhol’s friend, artist Victor Hugo. Warhol had been interested in ‘sex parts’ since the 1950s, but in Hugo he found his ideal muse and sexual performer. As Warhol’s paid collaborator, Hugo procured men whom Warhol and his studio assistants photographed nude and engaged in sex with Hugo. Scrutinizing gestures visible in the contact sheets, I argue that Hugo was engaged in a competition for artistic authorship and control in these photo shoots: the ‘art’ of gay sex was where Hugo could outshine Warhol.

Machine learning approach to assess the association between anthropometric, metabolic, and nutritional status and semen parameters.

Many lifestyle factors, such as nutritional imbalance leading to obesity, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiency, have been identified as potential risk factors for male infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between semen parameters and anthropometric, metabolic and nutritional parameters. Relationship was first assessed individually, then after the application of a previously constructed and validated machine learning score that allows their combination. Anthropometric, metabolic, antioxidant, micronutrient, and sperm parameters from 75 men suffering from idiopathic infertility from four infertility centers in France (Jean-Verdier ART Center Hospital, Bondy; North Hospital ART Center, Saint-Étienne; Navarre Polyclinic ART Center, Pau; and Cochin Hospital ART Center, Paris) between September 2009 and December 2013 were collected. After assessing standard correlation analysis, a previously built machine learning model, providing a score ranging from 0 (the poorest) to 1 (the most favorable), was calculated for each man in the study cohort. This machine learning model, which separates infertile/fertile men with unexplained infertility on the basis of their bioclinical signature, provides a more holistic evaluation of the influence of the considered markers (anthropometric, metabolic, and oxidative status). We observed a significant correlation of some anthropometric, metabolic, and nutritional disorders with some sperm characteristics. Moreover, an unfavorable machine learning score was associated with a high level of sperm DNA fragmentation. Favorable anthropometric, metabolic, and oxidative patterns, which may reflect an appropriate lifestyle, appear to positively impact overall health, in particular reproductive function. This study, consistent with previous publications, suggests that beyond semen quality parameters, in an essential assessment of male fertility, other key factors should be taken into account. In this regard, the application of emerging artificial intelligence techniques may provide a unique opportunity to integrate all these parameters and deliver personalized care.

IJCM_425A: Outcomes of Second Line Anti-Retroviral Therapy Among a cohort of people living with HIV/AIDS attending an ART Centre in Mangalore

Background: Anti-Retroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS has been effective, but the mortality rate remains to be high, resulting in the use of second line of ART treatment for better results. Objectives: 1) To estimate the number of deaths among PLHIV between the years 2011 and 2017. 2) To assess the clinical immunological and virological outcomes among these patients. 3) To find out the association of outcomes with the socio demographic characteristics. Methods: In this record-based study, medical records of PLHIV seeking treatment from an ART center associated with KMC, Attavar. between the years 2011 and 2017 were reviewed. The data was extracted using a data extraction sheet consisting of sections on demographic, clinical and treatment details of the patient. Results: The baseline median CD4 count before starting ARTs was found to be 253 (IQR 150-351). After starting second line ARTs it was found to be 461 (IQR 326-651). The correlation of CD4 count after initiation of second line ART with viral load among 34 patients measured was found to be -0.371 (P<0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that the outcomes of second line ARTs in the present study were found to be satisfactory. The average CD4 count after the initiation of ARTs was significantly high as compared to the CD4 count before the ARTs, implying that second line ARTs had a good, long-term and positive immunological outcome on PLHIV and attending a second-line ART clinic.

Reflection of Aesthetic Concepts of Russian Realism in Chinese Visual Art

This paper examines the impact of Russian realism on Chinese visual art, focusing on how Chinese artists have adapted and reinterpreted Russian aesthetic concepts. The study highlights the role of cross-cultural exchanges in enriching both traditional Chinese art and the broader understanding of realism. Through a detailed analysis, the author explores the reflection of Russian realism's social criticism and humanistic ideals in Chinese artistic practices, and how these influences have fostered new artistic forms and themes within China.The research employs comparative analysis of artworks and artistic traditions alongside historical and cultural contexts of both Russia and China. This approach underscores the importance of international artistic exchanges in creating a more diverse and multicultural art world. The study's novelty lies in uncovering the mechanisms of cultural integration and innovation through artistic exchanges between the two countries, detailing how Russian realism has not only shaped Chinese art but also spurred the creation of unique forms that reflect contemporary societal and cultural demands.Significantly, the fusion of Russian realism and traditional Chinese aesthetics has led to a new artistic direction in China that melds global artistic trends with local cultural values. This synthesis has facilitated deeper cultural dialogues and mutual understanding, enriching the artistic traditions of both Russia and China. Artists have been provided with new opportunities to explore innovative ideas and forms, thus strengthening cross-cultural ties and expanding the boundaries of artistic interaction. The paper emphasizes the transformative power of this artistic merger in enriching the global art space and fostering a more inclusive and varied artistic milieu.

The Effect of Digital Game Design Supported Coding Education on Gifted Students' Scratch Achievement and Self-Efficacy

Coding tools that use blocks to create programs are popular among kids and play a key role in learning how to code. The effectiveness of the coding courses that are available nowadays depends on how well the tools match the students’ needs. The aim of this study is to reveal the impact of digital game design supported coding education with Scratch on gifted students' Scratch academic achievement and self-efficacy. The research was conducted with one-group pre-test post-test experimental design. The sample of the study consists of 40 3rd grade gifted students studying at a Science and Art Center in Türkiye. Scratch achievement test and Scratch self-efficacy scale were used as pre-test and post-test before and after the training. The data of the study were analyzed with dependent groups t-test. Post-test scores of the students obtained from Scratch achievement and self-efficacy scale showed a statistically significant increases compared to the pre-test scores. It was revealed that digital game design supported education contributed positively to students' Scratch achievement and self-efficacy in coding.

Evaluating the Plausibility of Euploid Embryos Transfer on Day-5 by Reanalysis of Day-3 Single Aneuploid Embryos: A Case Series.

During preimplantation development, single aneuploidies are more commonly tolerated than complex aneuploidies. Some studies have reported that blastocysts with aneuploid karyotypes on Day-3 embryo biopsy can exhibit a normal karyotype on Day-5 rebiopsy, suggesting that single aneuploidies may have a higher likelihood of presenting a normal karyotype on Day-5. The purpose of the current study was to assess the benefit of reanalyzing the karyotypes of Day-3 single aneuploid embryos on Day-5. Day-3 and Day-5 biopsies of preimplantation embryos were subjected to array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). A proof of concept case series study was conducted involving 13 Day-5 embryos from 4 couples across 3 ART centers, collected between October 2019 and June 2020. Each center provided one normal embryo and 3-4 embryos with single aneuploidy based on Day-3 aCGH results. The karyotype of each Day-5 embryo was compared with its corresponding Day-3 karyotype. Among the 10 embryos with single aneuploidy on Day-3, 3 (30%) exhibited discordant karyotypes on Day-5, while the remaining 7 single aneuploid embryos and 3 normal embryos maintained the same karyotype from Day-3 to Day-5. None of the Day-3 single aneuploid embryos displayed a normal karyotype on Day-5. Contrary to previous reports suggesting the potential correction of single aneuploidies in some embryos, the findings of this study did not support such a possibility in the analyzed embryos. Genomic reanalysis of Day-3 single aneuploid embryos on Day-5 does not appear to be a reliable method for identifying euploid embryos suitable for transfer.

Anxiety scale for parents of gifted children (ASPGC): Validity and reliability study

This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the anxiety levels of parents with gifted children. The participants were selected using a convenient sampling method. The sample of this study consisted of 550 parents of gifted middle school students attending 12 Science and Art Centers throughout Turkey in the 2022-2023 academic year. This study utilized the "Anxiety Scale for Parents of Gifted Children," developed by the researchers in this study, which consisted of 30 items, to obtain quantitative data. A Personal Information Form was used for demographic information. The scale’s validity was assessed through face, content, and construct validity, and its reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item discrimination, and test-retest analyses. Expert opinion and a pilot study were conducted for face and content validity, whereas EFA and CFA were performed for construct validity. The data of 300 randomly selected participants (229 females and 71 males) were used for EFA, while the data of the remaining 250 participants (189 females and 61 males) were used for CFA. As a result of the EFA, eleven items were excluded, and CFA was conducted. The analysis yielded the following fit indices for the scale: RMSEA= .054, GFI= .912, CFI= .937, and IFI= .939. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was .890. Based on the analyses, a valid and reliable scale comprising 19 items and five factors was developed to assess the anxiety levels of parents with gifted children.

The Southwest Silk Road: artistic exchange and transmission in early China

Abstract In examining wares discovered from the cultures of Sanxingdui and Jinsha and from the former site of the ancient kingdom of Dian in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, this article highlights a number of shared features and trends that suggest a continued artistic, technological and cultural transmission through time and space. The article aims to supplement established theories on the rich material culture of this region. It will look in particular at the development of its striking bronze metallurgy, largely deriving from the established traditions of the Yellow River valley in China’s Bronze Age. It highlights the function of a dense network of trading routes, referred to in modern scholarship as the “Southwest Silk Road”, as an important facilitator of cultural and artistic exchange and reciprocation from ancient times.

Mundane Joy as Emergent Strategy: Community Storytellers on “Happiness,” “Resilience,” and the “Good Life”

This essay traces how community-based activist storytellers make room for emergent strategies in perilous times. It was sparked by the authors’ experience of working between two distinct communities that are both deeply invested in understanding the function of story-and-art-making in troubled and troubling times. For brevity’s sake, we will refer to the first community as the collective of “arts-based community-making” groups with whom we work under the auspices of the Centre for Community-Engaged Narrative Arts in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Our second community is the Spain-based RESHAP international group of literary and cultural studies scholars who are studying the theme of “Narrativas de la felicidad y la resiliencia / Narratives of Happiness and Resilience.” In the context of “risk society”—the widespread perception of life on earth as dangerous, vulnerable, and fraught with complex hazards—popular media, governments, and corporations, in addition to school systems, public think tanks, and the self-help industry often urge people to generate what Sara Ahmed has called “happiness scripts,” to keep positive and be resilient. These “scripts” become directive, insofar as stories of happiness, the good life, or resilience become mechanisms of discipline or coercive governance that can elicit what Lauren Berlant has called “cruel optimism.” Our essay teases out the emergent possibilities, the creative potential, that we see arising from community-based story-makers’ navigation of the tension between these (required) stories of the “good life” and the everyday, emergent strategies they invent in the midst of challenging times.

Research on the Origin and Evolution of Hu Jia

The Silk Road originated from the Western Han Dynasty. The word Silk indicates that it was originally a trade route, which eventually developed into a bridge for economic, cultural, and artistic exchanges between the East and the West. It connected Central Asia, West Asia, and countries around the Mediterranean, allowing different countries and different styles of music and dance to collide, promoting music exchanges and development in the surrounding countries along the Silk Road. As for the introduction of musical instruments and music into the Central Plains, the Silk Road has undoubtedly had a positive impact on the development of Chinese music. It can be said to be a music canal that runs through the East and the West. Jia, with its mournful sound, is originally a musical instrument played by the Hu people. The wooden Hu Jia of the Han Dynasty was introduced to the Central Plains by Zhang Qian's expedition to the Western Regions, while the reed Hu Jia was popular in Mongolian ethnic regions. This ancient ethnic musical instrument has almost disappeared and has gone through a legendary journey. Its structure and changes are of great research value. This paper uses methods of literature analysis and case analysis to study the playing techniques of Hu Jia and its evolution from the Western Han Dynasty to the present. Through the argumentation in this paper, it is discovered that the three-hole Hu Jia used in the Xinjiang Altay region in 1985 was still the same as those used in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, indicating that Hu Jia has not been lost.

The Origins of the Abbey: 1947–1950

One of the new models for thinking the production of art in a new decolonialised art history might be the artist colony. Certainly, in Australia, one of the revolutions Aboriginal art has brought about lies in the way it takes place in a series of artist colonies: self-identifying and -regulating cultural centres that have little or nothing to do with any imagined national art. Australian artists have been involved with any number of artist colonies throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, not just in Australia but around the world. This article will address just one: the Abbey Art Centre in New Barnet, just outside of London. Owned by gallerist and ethnographic art collector William Ohly, the complex of studios operated from the late 1940s until the late 1950s as the base for a generation of Australian artists and art historians, who enjoyed an entrée into the English art scene offered to no others either before or after. In particular, we examine the artists Robert Klippel, James Gleeson and Mary Webb, who stayed between 1947 and 1949, and the art historian Bernard Smith, who stayed between 1949 and 1950.

Solah Bawa Free Movement as a Whole Person Art Practice

Solah bawa, a meditative free movement dance, was developed by Sitras Anjilin (the head of Padhepokan Seni (art center and workshop) Tjipta Boedaja, Tutup Ngisor, Kabupaten Magelang, Central Java). A participatory observation towards a group named Komunitas Sabtuan, guided by Sitras Anjilin, and an etic interpretive analysis of the activity’s details found that solah bawa free movement reflects whole person aspects of human quality development. This article explicates how such art activity as free movement dance can be done by individuals to enhance whole person development. It argues that regular art practice can help individuals develop themselves holistically, and thus, it can promote balanced life.

The Relationship between TPACK and Self-Efficacy of the English Teachers of Gifted Students in Science and Art Centres: A Sample of Türkiye

Modern technology has been incorporated into all the aspects of daily life. The relevant changes are transforming our routines and are being integrated into our lives at varied speeds. This transition is also having an impact on teaching and learning practices. To integrate the aforementioned changes into their everyday practices, substantial effort has been invested by the participants within these contexts, namely, the students and their teachers. The necessity for proficiency in technology tools and applications, coupled with the exploration of whether there exists any correlation between technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) levels and self-efficacy levels, stands as a phenomenon that warrants examination in literature. Although previous studies succeeded to emerge TPACK level of English language teachers from different backgrounds, it was aimed to fill the gap for those (124) of gifted students through the current study. A case study was used; also, TPACK-EFL survey and the English Self-Efficacy Belief Scale were preferred as the instruments. The results indicated that the TPACK level of English language teachers of gifted students was quietly high, and they were aware of instructional strategies, student engagement, and classroom management from the perspective of self-efficacy within four language skills such as; reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Otkriti nâs nama samima – Josef Strzygowski i Ljubo Babić

Ljubo Babić (1890-1974) - one of the pivotal figures in twentieth-century Croatian art and culture - frequently addressed the research and theses of Josef Strzygowski (1862-1941) in his writings on various topics, directly or indirectly. Babić’s interest in the work of the renowned Austrian art historian and theorist primarily revolved around formulating ideas that emphasized the significant role of art in shaping national identity. In essence, Babić’s complex views on the role of art in moulding a distinct artistic expression - as a central and constitutive part of cultural identity - can be traced, among other things, to his contemplation of Josef Strzygowski’s though-provoking yet contentious theories on Croatian preRomanesque art and national cultural heritage in general. This paper investigates Strzygowski’s impact on the comprehension and appreciation of Croatian cultural heritage during the interwar period, i.e. on the overall atmosphere in which a broader discourse emerged on the relationship between artistic centres and peripheries, while the pursuit of national artistic expression began to dominate a major part of the Croatian cultural landscape. Consequently, the paper examines connections between Strzygowski and the Croatian cultural milieu between the two world wars. Finally, Strzygowski’s importance to Babić is highlighted, delineating the aspects of his theoretical work that the Croatian artist, critic, and art historian used to support his own viewpoints. Josef Strzygowski’s influence on Croatian culture was undoubtedly profound. Besides positioning himself as a connoisseur and advocate of Ivan Meštrović’s art, this Viennese scholar centred his interest on art-historical material from Croatia. Despite often eliciting direct counterreactions from the professional community - exemplified by Ljubo Karaman’s early theoretical writings on “ancient Croatian monuments” as a critique of Strzygowski - his focus on “our” material secured him an important place within the national cultural milieu of the time. Ljubo Babić, who was at the peak of his creative prowess in the late 1920s, approached Strzygowski’s work without critical detachment, integrating certain segments of the latter’s assumptions into his own theoretical framework. While direct influence cannot be unequivocally asserted, it is apparent that Babić found substantial support for his formulation of the “our expression” strategy in Strzygowski’s views. Both scholars believed that the characteristics of a specific body of art were crucially determined by the geographical area of its creation, with the national component being a pivotal aspect. Consequently, they embraced the concepts of soil, race, and blood, which makes them apologists of cultural nationalism. The relevant ideas of the distinguished Viennese art historian lent Babić additional confidence in presenting his own thoughts as indisputable and firmly established, thus framing the hypothesis that the Croatian people had inherited distinctive features of artistic production from their ancestral homeland - regarding them as a form of “our expression” in the past. Moreover, Babić endorsed Strzygowski’s call for further scholarly research into the history of Croatian cultural heritage, viewing adherence to the principles of geographical and national predisposition of artistic production as facilitating the consensus on “our expression” in contemporary times. Additionally, he concurred with the suggestion to investigate folk art, incorporating the interpretation of colours on folk costumes into his strategic framework. Through his writings and artistic oeuvre, Ljubo Babić strove to help us “reveal ourselves to ourselves,” and the work of Josef Strzygowski provided significant support in this endeavour. The prominent position of the renowned Viennese art theorist within Croatian culture certainly lent credibility to this support. Therefore, the relationship between Strzygowski and Croatian culture should not be solely construed as a kind of rivalry with Ljubo Karaman or as merely stimulating the formulation and development of a significant theoretical scope within Croatian art history, even if devoid of scholarly foundations. Rather, it can also be understood within the context of cultural nationalism during the Croatian interwar period. Such a perspective reveals that Josef Strzygowski and Ljubo Babić inhabited the same intellectual universe, which played a vital role in shaping modern European culture.

Silencing the rolling thunder: An almost unthinkable acoustic isolation facade solution
