The Organic and the Eclectic in César Daly’s “De l’architecture de l’avenir”

Abstract In The Organic and the Eclectic in César Daly’s “De l’architecture de l’avenir,” Gary Huafan He explores Daly’s concept of eclecticism as a critical discourse in the context of nineteenth-century ideas about naturalism and architectural style. In the 1869 essay that is the focus of this article, Daly narrated the “social evolution” of architecture as a process oscillating between organic and eclectic phases and mapped the history of style onto a parallel movement of French political regimes from antiquity to the Second Empire. Written after the fierce academic debates that took place in Paris in the 1860s and immediately prior to the tumultuous events of 1870–71, “De l’architecture de l’avenir” demonstrates the critical intersection between the romantic theory of architecture and nineteenth-century French politics. This key text in Daly’s oeuvre challenges contemporary understandings by demonstrating the vital role of eclecticism in the development of a modern architectural style.

Women Design Synagogues: Gender Insights into the History of Modern Israeli Synagogue Architecture

Women have been active as architects in Israel since 1921, designing projects of varied types and scales, including synagogues. The first woman to design a modern synagogue in the country was Judith Segall Stolzer, who in 1935, won a prestigious competition for Hadera's central synagogue. A few decades later Genia Averbuch designed three synagogues in a remarkably innovative modern style. These female architects were noteworthy partners in the endeavor to develop a local style in the design of synagogues. This article engages with four synagogues designed by two of the country's first female architects and explores their symbolic style against the built environment of the day. It examines the architectural planning process—references, concepts, and ideas—as well as the unusual commissioning of women as architects for these projects, with an emphasis on their contribution to Israeli culture, the development of a local style in modern architecture, and synagogue design.

A Research on the Relationship of Social Intelligence and Cultural Intelligence with Leadership Styles

Technological and social changes have made the organizational nature more open and accessible than ever. In recent years, modern leadership styles are used to efficiently manage these radical changes, and social intelligence and cultural intelligence concepts are used to get an edge over these changes correctly. In this study, based on the interaction of different intelligence types with the leadership styles exhibited, the factors affecting the leadership style were examined. The concept of leadership was carefully considered by associating the sub-dimensions of social intelligence and cultural intelligence, and assessing them in terms of demographics. The research sample is selected as Technopark employees in Istanbul. The sample reflects one of the increasingly widespread Technology Development Zones in Turkey, and welcomes technological developments as well as foreign cultural companies within. By analyzing the obtained data from 354 participants with descriptive and explanatory statistical methods, the relationships between leadership styles in the Multi-Factor Leadership Questionnaire, a comprehensive leadership tendency measurement tool, and social intelligence and cultural intelligence have been revealed. In addition, the effects of social intelligence’s and cultural intelligence’s sub-dimensions on four different leadership styles, and demographic differentiations are detected. The research provides guiding outputs for future research and business reflections.

Alberto III Pio, Baldassarre Peruzzi e la Sagra di Carpi: la messa in scena del Medioevo

Alberto III Pio (1475-1531), prince of Carpi and leading man of politics and culture at the beginning of the sixteenth century, entrusted Baldassarre Peruzzi with the project for a new cathedral in the Emilian town.
 The previous building (the “Sagra”) was not demolished but shortened and completed with a new façade designed by Peruzzi. The new façade contained three new inscriptions, two of which quoted medieval inscriptions from the “Sagra” itself, and one taken from the old Romanesque portals which was reused and placed in the center of the new façade.
 The intention of the prince was to combine Peruzzi’s new and modern architectural style with the existing medieval forms, themselves visible proof of the Catholic faith of past centuries: the Christian tradition that a few years later Alberto will try to defend in the controversy against Erasmus of Rotterdam.

Analysis of pairings of colors and materials of furnishings in interior design with a data-driven framework

Abstract Color–material furnishing pairing is known as a “black-box” for interior designers. The overall atmosphere of a space can be changed by modifying furnishing combinations, e.g., to express modern or classic styles. Designers carefully choose pairings of colors and materials that fit their intended interior design styles based on experience and knowledge. However, no specific principles or rules have yet been established. Therefore, this study aims to derive a furnishing pairing principle based on a novel framework comprising object detection, color extraction, material recognition, and network analysis. We used the proposed framework to analyze large-scale interior design image data (N = 24194) collected from an online interior design platform. We also used the authenticity algorithm to analyze the relative influence of styles. By using the data-driven method from large-scale data in each of the eight interior styles, we derived authentic color, material, and furnishing combinations. Our study results revealed that images with high authenticity values in each style matched existing style descriptions. Additionally, the proposed framework allows interior style image retrieval based on a specific color, material, and furnishing combination. Our findings have implications for research on the development of style-aware furniture retrieval systems and automatic interior design generation methods.

Paleoproterozoic Plate Tectonics Recorded in the Northern Margin Orogen, North China Craton

AbstractThe occurrence of plate tectonic processes on Earth during the Paleoproterozoic is supported by ca. 2.2–1.8 Ga subduction‐collision orogens associated with the assembly of the Columbia‐Nuna supercontinent. Subsequent supercontinent breakup is evidence by global ca. 1.8–1.6 Ga large igneous provinces. The North China craton is notable for containing Paleoproterozoic orogens along its margins, herein named the Northern Margin orogen, yet the nature and timing of orogenic and extensional processes of these orogens and their role in the supercontinent cycle remain unclear. In this contribution, we present new field observations, U‐Pb zircon and baddeleyite geochronology dates, and major/trace‐element and isotope geochemical analyses from the northern margin of the North China craton that detail its Paleoproterozoic tectonic and magmatic history. Specifically, we record the occurrence of ca. 2.2–2.0 Ga magmatic arc rocks, ca. 1.9–1.88 Ga tectonic mélange and mylonitic shear zones, and folded lower Paleoproterozoic strata. These rocks were affected by ca. 1.9–1.8 Ga granulite‐facies metamorphism and ca. 1.87–1.78 Ga post‐collisional, extension‐related magmatism along the cratonal northern margin. We interpret that the generation and emplacement of these rocks, and the coupled metamorphic and magmatic processes, were related to oceanic subduction and subsequent continent‐continent collision during the Paleoproterozoic. The occurrence of ca. 1.77–1.73 Ga mafic dykes and ca. 1.75 Ga mylonitic shear zones along the northern margin of the North China craton may have been related to a regional mantle plume event. Our results are consistent with modern style plate tectonics, including oceanic subduction‐related plate convergence and continent‐continent collision, operating in the Paleoproterozoic.

Improving microservices extraction using evolutionary search

Microservices constitute a modern style of building software applications as collections of small, cohesive, and loosely coupled services, i.e., modules, that are developed, deployed, and scaled independently. The migration from legacy systems towards the microservice-based architecture is not a trivial task. It is still manual, time-consuming, error-prone and subsequently costly. The most critical and challenging issue is the cost-effective identification of microservices boundaries that ensure adequate granularity and cohesiveness. To address this problem, we introduce in this paper a novel approach, named MSExtractor , that formulates microservices identification as a multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed solution aims at decomposing a legacy application into a set of cohesive, loosely-coupled and coarse-grained services. We employ the Indicator-Based Evolutionary Algorithm (IBEA) to drive a search process towards optimal microservices identification while considering structural and semantic dependencies in the source code. We conduct an empirical evaluation on a benchmark of seven software systems to assess the efficiency of our approach. Results show that MSExtractor is able to carry out an effective identification of relevant microservice candidates and outperforms three other existing approaches. In this paper, we show that MSExtractor is able to extract cohesive and loosely coupled services with higher performance than three other considered methods. However, we advocate that while automated microservices identification approaches are very helpful, the role of the human experts remains crucial to validate and calibrate the extracted microservices.

The Stylistic Classification of Modern Chinese Adverbs for Automatic Style Recognition

In natural language understanding, different styles are generally identified by the characteristics of words and sentence patterns. However, the current research on style in linguistics mainly focuses on the construction of the Chinese style system and its characteristics. It has not yet involved the classification of style for specific words, which has the problem of mismatch between theory and application. In the linguistic field, adverbs are generally classified from the perspective of semantics, while this paper is oriented toward the automatic identification of style. Therefore, we classified the adverbs from the perspective of style. Firstly, the modern Chinese style is regarded as a hierarchical system, and we divide it into formal and informal styles, with formal style including elegant style and written formal style, and informal style including spoken mandarin style and dialect style. Secondly, we proposed the criteria for classifying Chinese adverbial style, and they are composition characteristics, rhyme, morphology, and frequency. Finally, we also proposed the concept of "cross-style adverbs" and introduced it. It can not only provide a reference for the corpora classification of other Chinese words but also provide a database for the automatic recognition of Chinese corpora, and further improve the accuracy of the automatic recognition of corpora.

Femoroacetabular impingement in ancient Nubia 1400-656 BC.

There is significant recent interest in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in orthopaedics. The etiology of the cam deformity is unknown but has been hypothesized to be due to stresses from sporting activities in our modern society. Few archeological studies exist of femora and FAI. This study reviewed proximal femoral anatomy in a skeletal collection from the ancient Nile valley archeological site at Tombos 1400-656 BC. Digital photographs of the femora were used to obtain angular measurements of the apparent neck shaft, true neck shaft, version, inclination, and α and β angles of Nötzli. All photographs were reviewed by two orthopaedic surgeons for cam and pincer lesions. Sex and age of the specimens was determined when possible. A cam lesion was defined as any femur demonstrating an α angle > 50° or when a cam deformity was seen on visual inspection by both orthopaedic surgeons. Pincer lesions were identified upon visual inspection by both orthopaedic surgeons, when the femoral neck demonstrated impaction lesions, as pelvis radiographs could not be obtained. There were 126 unique femora; 69 female and 57 male. Age estimates were possible in 100 and was 15-24years in 14, 25-34years in 33, 35-49years in 28, 50-69years in 17, and ≥ 70years in 8. There were nine femora (seven individuals) with cam lesions (7%) and five femora (four individuals) with pincer lesions (4%). One demonstrated a combined lesion. FAI existed in ancient Nile valley inhabitants and is thus not only a product of modern day life style athletics. This contrasts with Native Americans living in Ohio 700-1000 AD where no FAI was identified. This difference is likely due to combinations of different types of activity, diet, and genetics. Further research of ancient populations is needed to further answer this question. IV-cohort study.

Assessing the Emotional Affordance of Brand Image and Foreign Image Based on a Physiological Method Using Examples from Dubai: Exploratory Study

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country with few restrictions on architectural styles. The main aim of this paper was to investigate a group of participants’ unconscious emotional responses to images of traditional and modern architectural styles in the UAE. All images were from the city of Dubai, but participants were from elsewhere to avoid the influence of familiarity. A physiological method was used to measure the unconscious emotional responses to the images’ visual contexts, specifically the emotions of stress, engagement, interest, focus, excitement, and relaxation. Six architects working in the UAE were then interviewed for their interpretations of both the images themselves and the participants’ emotional responses. A sample of 29 male laypeople (aged 18–45) participated in this study, divided into locals from Al Ain city, locals from the northern emirates, and nonlocals. The results showed that the brand image provided observers with better emotional quality than the foreign image for local participants from Al Ain, and that nonlocal participants showed strong emotional responses to the traditional architecture, but the northern Emiratis remained neutral. The findings of this study contribute to emotion studies in the field of meaning in architecture. It also validates the effectiveness of a physiological method of investigating the emotional responses to architectural styles.

Проблема традиції та новацій жіночої поезії середньовічного Китаю: на прикладі поетичного циклу “Ши про десять розлучень” (“十離詩”) Сюе Тао (薛濤, 768–832)

The article presents the first Ukrainian translation as well as a detailed historical and literary analysis of the cycle Ten partings (“十離詩”) written by Xue Tao (薛濤, 768–832), one of the “Four Greatest Female Shi Poets of the Tang Dynasty” (“唐代四大女詩人”). This cycle can be dated back to 789 or 809. It consists of ten quatrains, one of which is written as “ancient style poetry” gutishi (古體詩) while others are written as “modern style poetry” jintishi (近體詩). A detailed analysis of the cycle has shown that the nine jintishi are not only written according to the strict rules of versification, but also have some identical elements: the balance between a level tone ping (平) and an oblique tone ze (仄), the number of rhymes (韻), compositional structure, etc. The fourth poem “Parrot leaves the cage” (“鸚鵡離籠”) stands out in the cycle. It is not only written in different style (gutishi), but can also be seen as an example of the creation of a new poetic image. Thanks to “Fu on the Parrot” (“鸚鵡賦”) by Mi Heng (禰衡, 173–198) the image of a caged parrot is traditionally considered as a symbol of a gifted man or a poet whose talents lead to the loss of his freedom. But Xue Tao completely reinterprets this image by giving it a new connotation: now the caged parrot is a symbol of a lonely woman imprisoned in the luxurious inner chamber like a bird in a cage. Moreover, this image is ambivalent: it can be interpreted as a caged bird in the inner chamber to entertain a woman as well as a metaphor for a woman herself, who spends almost all her time there as in a cage. The very new interpretation of the parrot was highly appreciated by both contemporaries and successors of Xue Tao: they repeatedly borrowed and used this image not only in shi, but also in the other genres of poetry.

PERANCANGAN READY-TO-WEAR UNTUK ANAK MUDA DENGAN BATIK PHOENIX KONTEMPORER PADA BRAND DRL

Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO, batik in Indonesia has diverse motives and in each region has unique and different characteristics. The batik technique was originally handmade batik which was processed using canting and wax, as well as the process of using human labor, because of that it has more value and high price. But as the times evolve, various batik techniques emerge which process is faster, by using mechanical power so that it can be sold at a cheap price, the technique is of various kinds, one of which is stamp batik. This modern batik technique makes it possible to make motifs that are more modern and most commonly found on the market. Therefore, batik also requires the development of motifs so that it can compete with other batik techniques, moreover handmade batik is an original technique that must be preserved. Batik in the past was quite in demand in the field of fashion, but with the rapid development of the world with the influence of technology and culture from outside which also influenced fashion trends. Because of that batik began to lag behind, because it was considered too formal, old-fashioned, so that young people are less interested. Therefore the development of batik needs to be done so that it can continue to compete with other fashion trends, and so batik is not forgotten because it is inferior to other developing trends. Therefore the research was conducted with interview techniques and surveys of experts and extreme users, and it is known that batik can develop through motifs and designs. And from the results of research on the target market can also be known colors and designs that are preferred. From these results obtained ideas to design batik with contemporary motif designs, as well as modern styles that follow fashion trends.

Visualise the tastes from the label: A study on the taste-colour crossmodal association of crisp and dry.

Colour is an important guideline for selection and consumption. It also draws attention to the designers, as some modern design styles require them to illustrate the taste of the product with a limited number of colours. In this case, a precise description of the taste-colour association is required. The present study explored the colour-taste crossmodal association of two tastes, crisp and dry, which are normally found in beers and are the preferred flavours of Chinese consumers. Experiments were carried out to determine the characteristics of the colours associated with the two tastes. And the strength of the tastes perceived from the colours with different hue angles was investigated. The results of this study reveal that the hue and chroma can both affect the perception of these tastes. Both tastes can be perceived from the same colour, but the strength of the taste can be varied from different hues.

SOME FEATURES OF NEOPROTEROZOIC GEODYNAMICS

Some features of the geodynamics of the Neoproterozoic are considered: the formation of supercontinents, changes in the nature of subduction, an increase in the area of continental plates and the speed of their movement, the manifestation of asymmetry in the tectonic development of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. These changes largely predetermined the transition to the modern style of geodynamics and new global ecological, biogeochemical and other conditions.

The Role of Virtual Museums in Restarting Tourism Post- Covid19

Virtual museums are designed as interactive websites in which information is communicated smoothly by allowing the possibility of 3Dvirtual tours in the museum and obtaining information through a database. These websites represent virtual entities in order to display a number of museum holdings that exist in different places with the possibility of commenting on them. Additionally, these museums rely on digital audio and visual technologies created on the Internet with the aim of promoting a museum. It is possible that this museum does not have a real presence on the ground to preserve artifacts like paintings, pottery, and sculptures and the like.
 The current study explores this new boom (the era of electronics, computers, the international information network, e-mail and other achievements and developments that made it easier for people to obtain high speed and accurate information about any place, from their homes). The use of modern technologies has an important and pivotal role in distinguishing the work of the tourist guide, especially by relying on virtual reality techniques that contribute effectively to simulating the natural reality of tourist attractions. The main aim of this study is to focus on how to improve virtual museums to help people with special needs and qualifying tourist guides in the use of modern technologies, scientific tourism, and educational, academic and artistic museums. These museums contain an integrated virtual electronic guide that contains all the information related to tourist attractions and archaeological sites that could be useful for tourists.
 The research then investigates potentialities of working to increase the average number of nights of residence, by expanding the base of tourist attractions of all kinds to overcome the problem of seasonality and reducing the prices to encouraging incentive tourism and holding carnival shows to attract tourists to spend more days and nights in the tourism destination.
 This research first examines relevant literature on possibility to develop virtual museums’ important and pivotal role in spreading the culture of tourism and the development of the tourism processes from the traditional towards the modern style that depends on artificial intelligence techniques. Findings revealed that modern technologies have an important and pivotal role in the development of tourism and facilitate the processes of museums to integrate practical reality with virtual reality. The study provides recommendations that could encourage more tourists to enjoy their visit and improve marketing efforts, to increase the number of visitors of tourist destinations.

Stylistic way of Chisinau archtecture from the end of the XIX to the beginning of XX centuries

The evolution of the architecture of Chisinau from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century was conditioned by different historical, political, economic factors, etc., which imposed a certain stylistic typology of eclectic nature. The conceptual-stylistic and typological character of the architectural monuments in Chisinau was determined by the regulations imposed by the new authorities based on the observance of urban projects specific to the Russian Empire, the preferences and aesthetic taste of architects and, to some extent, the wishes of sponsors. The conceptual-decorative aesthetics of the buildings generally reflect the synthesis of two basic styles, interpreted in a rich variation of plastic forms – neoclassicism and the modern style. During that period, several architects with training in the field and extensive knowledge in “historical” architecture were active. The architects who have left their mark on the image of Chisinau are: Alexandru Bernardazzi, Henrich von Lonsky, Mitrofan Elladi, Vladimir Țiganco, Alexei Sciusev and others. Among the buildings made in a “classical” language can be named: the the Girls’ Gymnasium of Bessarabian Zemstvo, Rascanu-Derojinschi House, etc. The modern stylistic peculiarities are visible in the City Duma Building, the Girls’ Gymnasium “Princess Natalia Dadiani”, Vladimir Herța’s House, etc., which are characterized by a pronounced eclectic aspect.
