Down closed-quasi-injectivity of partially ordered acts

Action of a pomonoid on partially ordered sets ([Formula: see text]-posets) has beautiful aspects in practical subjects such as automata theory, projection algebra and theoretical computer science which makes it always capture the interest of mathematicians. On the other hand, the study of different kinds of weakly injectivity (which category theory inherited from homological and commutative algebra) is an interesting subject for mathematicians. One of the important kinds of weakly injectivity is quasi-injectivity. In this paper, we study quasi-injectivity in the category of [Formula: see text]-posets with respect to special kind of order embeddings, namely, down-closed embeddings (dc-quasi-injectivity).

Understanding Connections between Nature and Stress among Conservation-Engaged Adolescents Using Photovoice Methodology.

While the literature supports positive associations between nature and adolescent mental health, mechanisms are not well understood, and assessment of nature varies widely among existing studies. To partner with the most insightful informants, we enrolled eight adolescent participants from a conservation-informed summer volunteer program, applying qualitative photovoice methodology to understand their use of nature to relieve stress. Across five group sessions, participants identified four themes: (1) Nature shows us different aspects of beauty; (2) nature helps us relieve stressful experiences by balancing our senses; (3) nature gives us space to find solutions; and (4) we want to find time to enjoy nature. At the conclusion of the project, youth participants reported that the research experience was overwhelmingly positive, enlightening, and inspired appreciation of nature. We found that, while our participants unanimously reported that nature relieved their stress, prior to this project, they were not always intentional in seeking time in nature for this purpose. Through the photovoice process, these participants noted the usefulness of nature for stress relief. We conclude with recommendations for leveraging nature to decrease adolescent stress. Our findings are relevant for families, educators, students, healthcare professionals, and anyone who works with or cares for adolescents.

Идеал красоты в жизни науки (вчера, сегодня, завтра)

The devotee of Beauty Nikolai Ivanovich Kiyashchenko believed that the aes­thetic should permeate all spheres of life and any work. He thought of Beauty as the basis of a high culture and, accordingly, a worthy development of a person, a harmonious co-evolution of a person, society and nature. Researchers have re­peatedly raised the topic of beauty in science in literature, but with a new itera­tion of scientific, technical and cultural development, the concept took on new meanings. Plato did not think of the ideal of beauty separately from the ideals of goodness and truth, which is reflected in the concept of good. The idea of a synthesis of thought, word and action passes through many cultures. In the an­cient Russian mentality, good as an ethical aspect of thought at the level of its origin (thoughts) was conveyed through the concept of justice – “direct knowl­edge of the truth”, an impulse that originates in the depths of the heart and does not require proof. Modern transitional era proposes a leap in cognitive evolution: from the differentiation of cultural spheres to their convergence on the path of dialogue, interpenetration, and the emergence of synthetic forms of creativity. The aesthetics of life of science returns to the origins of the synthesis of science, art and religion, but on a new basis. The concept of post-non-classical rationality by V.S. Stepin leads to synthesis, which implies a wide dialogue between science and non-scientific forms of cognition and experience, cementing the space of creative contacts. The objective aspects of beauty are embedded in the funda­mental categories of natural science. In a technogenic civilization, science aes­theticizes its tools. Thought in action is realized in engineering, design, ecodesign.

The role of ambassadors, influencers, and a brand in co-developing gendered well-being: The case of selected Dove Philippines campaign

With the changing trends in business, it is essential to understand how different actors involved in a campaign enable a brand’s objective. This study aims to understand how internal stakeholders of advocacy campaigns can lead to a positive outcome in terms of external stakeholders’ social well-being, particularly in advocating gender well-being. This study utilized qualitative data collection methods to gather perspectives from both internal and external stakeholders to understand how the roles and responsibilities of internal stakeholders collectively help initiate brand advocacy campaigns. In this study, collaborative networks, partner selection, and research and development were assessed with respect to the co-development business model that leads to positive gendered well-being. It was found that there is an existing tension between the normative aspects of beauty and the internal perceptions of consumers. However, respondents shared that the advocacy campaigns facilitated by both influencers and ambassadors as part of the Dove Philippines projects launched in 2020 and 2021 were effective, since they enhanced their self-acceptance, self-esteem, and self-empowerment. The findings from the study can be used as a foundation for future research regarding influencer and ambassador marketing in the Philippines. In addition, it provides a practical application of the co-development business model not only to achieve mainstream business and marketing goals, but more importantly, advancing well-being.

Beyond Confirmation

Abstract While Michael Polanyi’s epistemology is fruitful for considering beauty’s epistemological significance, this article shows that Polanyi’s epistemology lacks explicit development of an important aspect of beauty’s contribution to knowledge formation—as mediator. The treatment unfolds by first assessing how Polanyi does treat beauty, and second by establishing the grounds for beauty to serve as a mediator, as well as its fittingness within a Polanyian epistemology. The article considers an expansion of Polanyi’s epistemology to further and more clearly elucidate beauty as mediator of knowledge. Concluding remarks consider how beauty as mediator of knowledge opens the door to pursuit of questions regarding beauty’s role in theological epistemology—i.e., in mediating knowledge of God specifically.

Uslub Tasybih in Malay Figurative Language in the Novel Suriati from A Fine Arts Approach

One of the elements that liven up the storyline of a piece of work is uslub. Uslub or language style is the pulse that moves the process of writing. A language style that is not appropriate or ambiguous will affect the storyline. In studying a text with Islamic elements, it is important that the uslub of the text matches the content. The analysis of uslub is important in order to understand the message of a particular text. Therefore, this study analyses uslub tasybih, in the context of Malay figurative language from the novel Suriati (1993) written by Azizi Haji Abdullah from the Fine Arts Approach through the Religious Methodology contained in the Malay Methodology Theory (1989). This study uses the Malay Methodology as the analytical framework. It analyzes the relationship between uslub tasybih in the context of Malay Figurative Language and the literary work with Islamic elements in the novel Suriati. The focus of this study is to show whether the uslub tasybih in the context of Malay Figurative Language that were applied match the novel studied and reflect the aspects of Islamic beauty, thus conforming to the approach adopted in this study. The findings show that the uslub tasybih in the context of Malay Figurative Language have a direct relationship in Islamic literary work and highlight the Fine Arts Approach features which emphasize the aspect of beauty based on Islamic aesthetic values. Therefore, uslub tasybih should be in accordance with the requirements of Islam in the pursuit of perfection, civility, and order in all activities carried out by Muslims.

BEAUTY, UGLINESS, SUFFERING AND SOCIAL INEQUALITY AS THE MAIN MORAL ISSUES OF “THE YOUNG KING” BY OSCAR WILDE

A great deal of recent studies have focused on the interpretations of aesthetic ideas in the whole collection of fairy-tales A House of Pomegranates by Oscar Wilde, and less attention has been paid to each one individually.

Hair, identity, and stigma: seeking beauty and media alternatives from the trajectory of curly and coily-haired Brazilian women

ABSTRACT Human hair can convey aspects of gender, race, culture, beauty, and media. This paper addresses the manipulation and modification of curly and coily hair textures to discuss the relationship between hair, identity, and stigma among Brazilian women while emphasizing the specificities of Brazilian society. Following the pre-analysis of 8,000 spontaneous comments posted on a Brazilian YouTube channel, a corpus was prepared and analysed, leading to two main results. (i) Curly and coily-haired Brazilian women are exposed to the “pain” that characterize power situations because they bear a stigmatized body attribute; (ii) the construction of the self by these women is articulated with the social identity imposed on them, pointing to a social transformation by which other references are incorporated into the notion of beauty, thus creating an alternative for them to be accepted with their “natural” characteristics.

Title: Tracing the Aspects of Beauty, Segregation, and Racial Identity in Quicksand and Passing Novels by Nella Larsen

In this research work, Nella Larsen's two novels Quicksand and Passing explores the structures of the African American female identity. It investigate the textual depictions of Beauty, segregation and racial identity, and how these demonstrations are based in Harlem Renaissance literature and the broader literary canon on the stereotypes of the American women's identity. This study also demonstrated how both texts novels defy stereotypes of African American women by portraying women capable of liberty while condemning a culture that deprives them of their freedom and identities. Talking about race still causes discomfort, especially when trying to demonstrate how strategies for maintaining whiteness work as a hierarchical process, and that is why it is necessary that identities become key elements to open this path that is sometimes so tortuous and thorny. Passing exemplifies that the very notion of Whiteness must be questioned in order to illustrate that the debate about identities must not be dissociated from the question of race. Quicksand explores modern modes in which African American women represent identity by struggling to find their place in society in Larsen's first novel. Both novels challenge stereotypes of African-American women by depicting independent women and criticizing a culture that denies them agency and identity. This work portray protagonists and how fights against racial stereotypes, despite the difficulties they faced. For characters in Passing, beauty is very important, whom Larsen portrays as constantly assessing the physical appearances of other people, taking care of their own and worrying about how they appear. Also examines how Larsen employs mirrors, an unreliable speaker and unclear states to comment on the inefficient and dangerous effects on American society of segregation and assimilation. Her use of a distrusted, yet loyal-race heroine has revealed the traps in enabling the division between racial and social duties of a complete civilization.

Interior Computer Graphic in Seating Facility Design with Concept Metaphor of Creativity Process with Narrative Approach

This study describes how the application of interior computer graphics can explain the concept of metaphor seating facility design with the narrative approach method based on the aspects of strength, beauty, and function compared to the narrative approach method based on the narrative only. The research is based on the results of UNIKOM students' work in the furniture class in 2021. The problem of this research is how to use interior graphic applications in explaining the work stages of students using the narrative approach method to create seating facility forms through the concept of metaphor and the factors of interior computer applications which can translate and convey the message of the narrative. This research uses a participatory method. Several student works became the object of research. The stages in the design process are making narratives with basic design ideas, elaborating narratives, translating narrative elements on design stools in metaphorical forms, working drawings and prototype designs, using the SketchUp application, and Auto Cad. The results of the study indicate that the use of interior computer graphics makes it easier to convey messages from three aspects of seating facility design, namely beauty, strength, and function as well as messages from methods that only use narrative. However, if the ability to use the interior graphic application is limited, the delivery of messages will be hampered

(Neuro)Aesthetics: Beauty, ugliness, and ethics.

The objective of this essay is a holistic view of aesthetics, ethics, and neuroaesthetics. After a few introductory case studies, aesthetics is systematically introduced as a philosophical subdiscipline. This perspective is then expanded from aesthetics to neuroaesthetics. Using various art forms as well as current media formats, the aspects of beauty and ugliness are discussed, and aesthetic properties are expanded to include ethical implications. These can be expressed through ideals of beauty and the compulsion for body transformation. This perspective is then expanded from aesthetics to neuroaesthetics. From this point of view of art, the so-called golden ratio will play a central role. It will be shown how representations affect people and what ethical implications are associated with the effects. Therefore, this essay first has to look at art from the perspective of neuroaesthetics, and then consider the ethical aspects of the beautiful and the ugly. The considerations lead to a brief discussion of Socrates's three sieves.

What is Beauty?

In the current study, the authors attempt to thoroughly investigate the concept of beauty from different perspectives in different historical periods and offer their personal thoughts about it. The authors performed a comprehensive and across-the-board literature review about 'beauty', including beauty from a philosophical perspective, beauty perception by human mind, beauty from a biopsychological perspective, beauty of the face, body and breast, models of beauty and beauty in cosmetic surgery. From Plato to modern neuro-psychological studies, the concept of beauty has always been a theme for adamant debates and passionate thoughts. Different aspects of beauty, from intellectual to pure physical, have received a tremendous amount of attention. The true definition of the concept of beauty is still ambiguous, and there is not a unanimous explanation for it. It seems that the definition of beauty differs in every individual's mind and over the history of humankind. Although beauty is a very important concept and the seek for achieving it is a very natural behavior, one must remember that the importance of beauty should not overshadow the fact that every human being is made up of similar internal organs. We strongly encourage the reader to look beyond the hedge, to be aware that each of us is made up of internal organs, beyond the external appearance.

Standards of Classical Architecture Criticism: Between Mathematics and Philosophy

Criticism is an intellectual process that primarily searches for beauty aspects in the works of art, including architecture. This article explores the mathematical and philosophical principles of classical architectural criticism. It is hypothesized that design criteria during the Classic period were clear and specific. The research presents theories of classical art that focus on the process of beauty interpretation. It also assesses the mathematical evaluation of architectural art and beauty through “The Golden Ratio” and “The “Fibonacci Sequence.” Classical philosophy, and its perception of beauty, is discussed as an essential basis in any artistic critical activity. The research asserts that the science of aesthetics is both objective and subjective, which explains the difference in aesthetic evaluation across eras. Objectivity stems from conditions of proportionality that must be met for an architectural art to be aesthetically judged as beautiful. Subjectivity lies in the time and place of the architectural work, whereby tendencies, tastes, and needs related to the human and geographical environment can affect the standards of beauty. This makes the evaluation of beauty in classical architecture a delicate and complex process in which many aspects must be considered to have an objective, fair, and correct judgment.
