Orna face analysis

Aim: Facial aesthetics is a dynamic field requiring precise professional assessment, considering beauty concepts, variability in cultural and ethnic facial features, and patient perception. This study aimed to develop the Orna Face Analysis (OFA), an integrated tool for detailed facial evaluation to improve the planning of aesthetic treatments. Methods: The OFA integrates multiple analysis methods, considering key aspects such as youthfulness, average appearance, symmetry, and dimorphic features to create a comprehensive evaluation protocol based on a critical review of the scientific literature searched through PubMed, Scielo, Web of Science, and Scopus databases without language or time restrictions. Results: The OFA was designed as an electronic form that can generate a printed file, allowing for a deep understanding of patients faces by highlighting these essential aspects. This approach enables detailed and personalized diagnostics essential for effectively planning facial aesthetic treatments and meeting patient expectations. The OFA emerges as a complementary and integrative tool in facial aesthetics, promoting a personalized and evidence-based approach to facial harmonization. After constructing the OFA prototype in electronic and printed formats, the tool was tested in a clinical setting (TRL 6 – technology readiness level) to assess its objectivity, clarity, coherence, precision, and usability. TRL 6 indicates that the system has been demonstrated in a relevant environment but requires further testing for full validation. Conclusion: A preliminary evaluation by a facial harmonization specialist confirmed that the OFA enables the creation of highly personalized treatment plans, accurately reflecting a range of aesthetic outcomes. Further validation will solidify its applicability across diverse patient populations and settings.

Beauty Re-defined: A Comparative Analysis of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Ideals and Traditional Standards.

Background Traditional methods for assessing facial beauty rely on subjective measures like averages or "golden ratios." However, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a data-driven approach to analyzing attractiveness. This study explores how AI-generated beauty criteria compare to established ideals, considering cultural influences and the evolving concept of beauty. Methods To explore how AI-generated beauty ideals compare to traditional standards, we used three AI text-to-image generation tools (Dezgo (Dezgo SAS LLC, France), Freepik (FreePik Company, Malaga, Spain), and ImagineArt (Vyro, Islamabad, Pakistan)) to create images from a specific prompt. The first four generated images for each gender that met our criteria were included in this study. A single researcher used MediaPipe Studio software to identify ten key facial landmarks on each image. Landmark distances were measured twice in Adobe Photoshop 2023 (Adobe, San Jose, California, United States) and averaged for each measurement. The average values were then used to calculate 23 facial proportion ratios based on established neoclassical canons and golden facial ratios. We then compared these AI-generated ratios to the ideal values using one-sample t-tests in IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 29 (Released 2023; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States), p < 0.05 significance, to assess alignment with traditional beauty standards. Results AI-generated faces displayed statistically significant differences, p < 0.05, from established beauty standards in both neoclassical canons and golden ratios for both males and females. Differences were seen in facial width, upper and lower face proportions, and eye symmetry. Conclusion AI-generated faces deviated from traditional beauty standards of neoclassical canons and golden ratios for both genders. This suggests AI incorporates factors beyond established ideals, potentially reflecting contemporary preferences, cultural biases, or emerging trends.

Exploring the Impact of Makeup on Gendered Ideas of Femininity among Transgender Women in India

Abstract: In the context of India, where gender norms are deeply entrenched in patriarchal structures and the binary understanding of gender, this research investigates the impact of makeup on the gendered ideas of femininity among transgender individuals. Makeup serves as an expression of the self and a means for self-evaluation and self-enhancement. Transgender individuals are judged by society according to cisnormative gender stereotypes that include many components of gender characteristics and traits.1 The focus of this study is the perceptions of beauty, specifically the perceptions of transgender women’s beauty. Gender norms around femininity and masculinity are reflected in the gendered concept of beauty, which frequently determines what is seen as beautiful for each gender. Traditional ideas of femininity, for instance, place a strong emphasis on qualities like grace, gentleness, and nurturing. These characteristics may manifest as desires for physical features such as long hair, radiant complexions, and hourglass bodies. In contrast, characteristics linked to masculinity, such as power, aggression, and dominance, may affect how attractive men are perceived, emphasizing muscularity and angular features. Stereotypes related to physical attractiveness are a presiding element of gender stereotypes, as they are strongly and consistently associated with other components of gender stereotypes.2 While makeup is often associated with femininity, its significance and implications for transgender individuals within the cultural context of India remain understudied. Through qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews, demographic questionnaires followed by focus groups as well as thematic analysis, along with discrepancy theory and self-image congruity, this study explores how transgender individuals in India navigate femininity through makeup practices, examining their experiences, perceptions, and challenges. Within a culture that enforces criteria on acceptable appearance for women, transgender women (i.e., those who were assigned male at birth and identify as women or feminine) may internalise cultural messages about ideal attractiveness related to traditional feminine gender presentation norms such as thinness and beauty (Serano, 2007). The hypothesis suggests a positive correlation between the use of makeup and perceived femininity. By investigating the experiences and narratives of transgender individuals, this research seeks to provide insights into the impact of such an invention on self-perception. Additionally, the study will investigate potential factors that may influence the relationship between the two, such as socio-cultural norms, and support systems. The findings of this research may contribute to a better understanding of the needs and challenges faced by transgender individuals in India and inform the development of more inclusive cosmetic policies.

Unveiling the Strategy Behind Blackfishing: Kim Kardashian's Instagram and the New Beauty Discourse

As a fashion and beauty icon in America, Kim Kardashian is one of the public figures who supports the new beauty discourse. The emerging concept of new beauty in America challenges conventional limits for the delineation of beauty. This idea emphasizes that beauty is not limited by skin color, body shape, age, and hairstyle; instead, it emphasizes the need of embracing of natural body. This study examines how Kim Kardashian's personal Instagram posts from 2014-2023 showcases new notions of beauty via the lens of semiotic theory by Barthes (1964) and the concept of blackfishing. New forms of beauty discourse displayed by Kim Kardashian are accused of being blackfishing by excessively darkened skin, curvy body shapes, full lips, and hair. According to the findings of this study, there is a sense of ambivalence towards black women's bodies. Consequently, white people have internalized certain characteristics of black bodies without appreciating the unique qualities of black women. Kim Kardashian promotes a new beauty discourse that is considered blackfishing through her collaboration with the fashion and beauty industry and building her own cosmetics business. This demonstrates the participation of other influential individuals in the fashion business who endorse Kim's blackfishing appearance so that this appearance continues to appear in public and is normalized.

SEMANTIC SPACE OF THE PHYTOPHORIC NAME SARDAANA: MOTIVATING FEATURES

The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the semantics of the female name Sardaana in the Yakut language. The premise of the study was that the existing dictionaries of Yakut names do not give the whole story of this name. The lack of research in the cultural and historical context caused the formation of a kind of a hole in identifying the etymology of the name. The linguistic gap not only lies in establishing the motivating features of the anthroponym itself, but also in the appellative of the name. A selection of dialectal synonyms of the phytonym sardaana was made from dialectological dictionaries of the Yakut language. It was discovered that the plant's habitat mainly coincides with the Olekma-Viliuy dialect zone of the Yakut language, which is quite consistent with the plant's growing area. However, it was noted that in dialectal phytonyms, the emphasis is made not on the flower of the plant, but on its edible tuber. The anthroponym Sardaana is a relatively new name, since its presence has not been identified in folklore texts, including the olonkho epic. In all likelihood, If we take as a basis the memoirs of the bearer of the name Sardaana, the folklorist Sardaana Platonovna Oyunskaya (1934-2007), the name appeared in the 30s of the twentieth century. To clarify the motivating features of the personal name, homonymous lexical units related to military vocabulary were used: the names of arrowheads sardaan okh, sardaana okh, which, in all likelihood, project the shape of the sardaana flower. However, these lexemes do not reveal the full picture of the personal name. Identical names have not been identified in Turkic and Mongolian anthroponymicons, thus we come to the conclusion that the name Sardaana like the phytonym sardaana is a product of the isolated development of the Yakut language. Thus, the main motivating feature of the name Sardaana is the symbolic image of the phytonym sardaana ʻlilyʼ, compared with the concept of feminine beauty and tenderness.

The Relative Stability of the Beauty Connotations across a Lifespan and its Gender Differences

The concept of beauty is multifaceted and subject to various influences that include the age and gender of the perceiver. This study aimed to explore the relationship between age and the connotations associated with the concept of beauty over a lifespan. A sample of 1,558 adults aged 19 to 89 years provided connotations of beauty through free production tasks with the objective to investigate changes in the occurrence of connotations associated with the concept of beauty in relation to the age of the evaluator. Occurrences of sixty-two connotations were analysed with respect to age using Spearman's correlation. The results showed that only three percent of the connotations had a significant correlation with age, suggesting that the concept of beauty is relatively stable over time. Specifically, associations with the terms "man" and "God" decreased as age increased, particularly among women. Separate analyses by gender revealed distinct patterns, with women reporting stronger associations between age and connotations related to "man," "God," and "friend." In contrast, men reported correlations with connotations such as "flower," "sea," "joy," and "figure," suggesting shifts in perception away from physical attractiveness to natural scenery. The findings show the relative stability of the beauty concept over a lifespan, but also underscore the importance of considering gender in our understanding of the dynamics of the perception of beauty.

Perception of dental appearance and aesthetic analysis among patients, laypersons and dentists.

Current concepts of beauty are increasingly subjective, influenced by the viewpoints of others. The aim of the study was to evaluate divergences in the perception of dental appearance and smile esthetics among patients, laypersons and dental practitioners. The study goals were to evaluate the influence of age, sex, education and dental specialty on the participants' judgment and to identify the values of different esthetic criteria. Patients sample included 50 patients who responded to a dental appearance questionnaire (DAQ). Two frontal photographs were taken, one during a smile and one with retracted lips. Laypersons and dentists were asked to evaluate both photographs using a Linear Scale from (0-10), where 0 represent (absolutely unaesthetic) and 10 represent (absolutely aesthetic). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test analysis were measured for each group. Most patients in the sample expressed satisfaction with most aspects of their smiles and dental appearance. Among laypersons (including 488 participants), 47 pictures "with lips" out of 50 had higher mean aesthetic scores compared to pictures "without lips". Among the dentist sample, 90 dentists' perception towards the esthetic smile and dental appearance for photos "with lips" and "without lips" were the same for 23 out of 50 patients. Perception of smile aesthetics differed between patients, laypersons and dentists. Several factors can contribute to shape the perception of smile aesthetic.

Music as incarnated beauty in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion: a neoplatonic reading

Abstract In this study I examine key conceptual parallels between J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary imagination and a Neoplatonic mythopoetic. Specifically, I discuss how Tolkien’s Silmarillion deploys a transcendental conception of Beauty that, I argue, suggests similarities with the notion of Beauty discussed by Plotinus in his Enneads. Following the scholarship of Lisa Coutras (2016) and Michael John Halsall (2020), this study analyzes key sections from Tolkien’s work to demonstrate a Neoplatonic influence. This influence, I argue, is best understood via an incarnational logic that understands musical harmony and tonal beauty to be signs that signal an ultimate transcendent source in Tolkien’s legendarium. Falling short of arguing for a direct influence of the Neoplatonic tradition on Tolkien, this study seeks to demonstrate only a plausible link between Neoplatonic sources and Tolkien’s work.

There Is no Universal Standard of Beauty.

This article discusses the various factors that contribute to facial beauty and the different contexts in which they are significant. The authors examine the roles of the golden ratio, ideal proportions, symmetry, and specific facial features in what constitutes an attractive face. They also investigate the influence of cultural and evolutionary perspectives on facial beauty and the impact of social media on our perception of beauty. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and emphasises the significance of facial beauty and its impact on our lives. The authors acknowledge that the concept of beauty is difficult to define with absolute precision, and that the objective-subjective argument regarding facial beauty remains unsolved. However, they argue that physical attributes undoubtedly influence perceptions of attractiveness, but beauty extends beyond surface-level features. They also suggest that embracing diversity in beauty standards fosters a more inclusive society that celebrates the unique qualities of every person.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Morrison’s Blue-Eyed Golem

This article deals with Toni Morrison’s first novel, The Bluest Eye, as a possible interweaving of Aristotle’s Third Man Argument into both societal and psychological aspects of the contemporary world. Rooted in this philosophical background, it follows the decline of Pecola Breedlove’s mental stability throughout three segments that mimic the argument’s structure. The degradation of archetypes and the character’s conception of beauty articulate our thesis as it attempts to present the novel as a reenactment of the philosophical theory resorting to Borges’ poem “El golem” to strengthen the connection between Morrison’s take on Afro-American realities and Aristotle’s position regarding the degradation of the ideal.

Volumétrie frontotemporale pour rajeunir et re-féminiser le visage

The author became interested in facial volume in the 1990s, during the period when he oversaw the feminization of the facial skeleton to improve the social integration of male transsexual patients. At that time, it was skeletal surgery. Very quickly, these techniques were extended to genetic women who wanted a more feminine face. The study of facial aging allowed the author to define criteria for frontotemporal aging, particularly an evolution with age towards a frontotemporal masculinization. The volumetric frontotemporal correction has thus become an essential element of facial rejuvenation. The evolution then, naturally took place towards the concept of frontotemporal beauty.

Towards an Abolitionist Concept of Beauty: The Aesthetics of Counter-Communities

Abstract: Many oppressed groups describe their forms of life in aesthetic categories. This article explores the implicit conception of beauty and the shared characteristics of counter-communal aesthetic practices. It reconstructs the hegemonic conception of beauty via a reading of Schiller and explores two exemplary discourses on the beauty of counter-communities: Peter Weiss' reflections on the aesthetics of resistance and Saidiya Hartman's description of Black fugitive aesthetics. What both examples share is that they locate beauty not in harmony, but in conflict and struggle. They lay the foundation for an aesthetic standpoint theory: counter-communities are economically, politically and culturally marginalized, but they are more beautiful than dominant forms of life.
