Poetic and Artistic Aspects of Digital Fabrication in Architecture

New production techniques and digital design tools allow new possibilities in architecture and digital fabrication laboratories provide an environment for these new opportunities. In addition to its potential in terms of science and technology, digital fabrication creates many opportunities for artistic aspects of architecture. Therefore we aimed to make a theoretical discussion and try to provide a new perspective for an evaluation of the phenomenon in the context of artistic and poetic aspects. From this perspective, to clarify the artistic aspects of architecture in the context of digital fabrication technologies and to understand how the subject is covered in the literature clearly, a comprehensive literature review has been made. Initially, the literature review was limited to the themes of digital fabrication and architecture to extract from out-of-context articles and 197 peer review journals written in the last 10 years were examined. Then, a pre-coding schema was prepared from two authors and extended after a detail literature review. The extended coding schema was grouped in terms of their semantic distance and these groups were used to make an assumption about papers. The software MAXQDA, which is commonly used in the social science, assist us to identify the semantic codes related to the research context without any omission. Articles were investigated with the keywords created after precoding. The remaining 51 articles on the field of Architecture were analysed through these codes. Our aim is not to prove if there is sufficient paper that discuss the artistic aspects of digital fabrication. However this methodology helps us to understand the focus of the papers and the tendencies as an approach in this context. In general, the subject of digital fabrication in architecture is studied more about materials, structures, processes, technology and how to use digital fabrication tools instead of why it was examined in the literature. From perspective of artistic dimension, the reviewed papers mainly emphasize ‘characteristic, identity, variety, style, concept, customization, subjective, subjectivity, formal, composition, tectonic, geometry, form’. On the other hand, ‘aesthetic, beauty, expression, art, stereotomy, craft, artifact, are less discusses codes. Words directly related to art and craft are not discussed in the articles and there is less discussion on the aesthetic values of digital fabrication. ‘Sense, experience, perception, intuition’ are also less discussed codes even if these are strong relationship with architectural context. Although not included in the academic literature, the issue of digital fabrication has begun to be discussed in the context of experience, through art installations in 1:1 scale produced by digital fabrication tools. In a nutshell, the issue of art is at least as valuable as the most frequently asked question of how in digital fabrication, and this aspect should be given more place in scientific research.

Code Generation with Hybrid of Structural and Semantic Features Retrieval

Due to the growing need for faster software delivery, code generation has attracted more and more attention, since it could improve code maintainability by providing suggestions for coding. In the model of generating program source code from natural language (NL), the most effective method is to generate an intermediate architecture (such as Abstract Syntax Tree) combined with a deep learning model. However, these models have the following drawbacks: (1) The data structural information is underutilized and the correlation between samples is not considered. (2) Lack of the ability to memorize large and complex structures, so that complex codes cannot be generated correctly. To address these issues, we propose HRCODE model, a code generation architecture based on Hybrid of structural and semantic features Retrieval CODE model. We transform the NL description into an intermediate structure with structural features. Then, the NL and the intermediate structure are embedded into a vector through weight mixing, and we calculate the similarity score between each vector to retrieve the most relevant samples. Finally, the new input is brought into the PLBART model to generate code. Experiments show that HRCODE is at least 4.7% higher than the state-of-the-art models in the ACC metric and at least 10.3% higher in the BLEU-4 score. We have released our code at https://github.com/jesokang/HRCODE.

ЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЯ КОНЦЕПТА «ДОМ» В ПАРЕМИОЛОГИЧЕСКОМ ФОНДЕ РАЗЛИЧНЫХ ЛИНГВОКУЛЬТУР (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ПОСЛОВИЦ НА РУССКОМ, АНГЛИЙСКОМ И ИСПАНСКОМ ЯЗЫКАХ): К ВОПРОСУ О ФОРМИРОВАНИИ КОММУНИКАТИВНОЙ КОМПЕТЕНЦИИ ПРИ ИЗУЧЕНИИ РУССКОГО ЯЗЫКА КАК ИНОСТРАННОГО

Статья посвящена вопросам репрезентации концепта «дом» в лингвокультурах русско-, англо- и испаноязычных стран. «Дом» рассмотрен как один из базовых концептов, входящих в национальную концептосферу и широко представленных в русских, английских и испанских пословицах. Определены возможности концепта «дом» для формирования коммуникативной и лингвокультурологической компетенций студентов в процессе изучения русского языка как иностранного в полиэтнических учебных группах The article is focused on identifying the features of the representation of the concept “house/home” in the linguocultures of different countries in which Russian, English and Spanish are the official languages (Russia, England, Spain), as well as the countries that integrated English and Spanish culture in the process of colonization, preserving cultural values of their own people (Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, etc.); and also on the study of the possibilities of the concept “house/home” for the formation of students’ communicative and linguoculturological competences in the process of mastering Russian as a foreign language in multiethnic study groups. The concept “house/home” is one of the fundamental realities of culture, one of the most important linguistic and mental constants in any national concept sphere. As a material object, “house/home” serves as a man’s protection from the forces of nature and personifies his world; at the same time, it is an object for studying the spiritual life of the people, since all the most important categories of the picture of the world, recorded in various linguocultures, correspond to the concept “house/home”. Each nation has a special worldview and an inherent assessment of the world, however, due to the presence of universal values, the concept “house/home” has a similar representation in proverbs in Russian, English, Spanish. The study of the culturally significant concept “house/home” as a semantic code that captures national and cultural experience, which belongs not only to the individual, but also to the collective consciousness, contributes to strengthening Русский язык как иностранный 317 of intercultural ties between peoples, as well as to stimulating interest in the educational process. Studying Russian as a foreign language, as a specific civilizational code of another people, systematic work with the paremiological fund of the Russian, English and Spanish languages allow foreign students to master information about the cultural specifics of Russian linguosociety, improve their understanding of universal values.

LOCAL BASED PERFORMANCE DALAM IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN PELAYANAN TERPADU SATU PINTU KABUPATEN KEPULAUAN ARU PROVINSI MALUKU

The demands for solving public problems have shifted the viewpoint of the role of the government as the sole provider of services towards participatory governance as a form of democracy that can adapt to change. These demands must be addressed wisely by reconciling the expectations of the community and organizational capabilities, as well as reducing bias in the capacity of public organizations as service providers. This study identified the factors that work in the process of implementing integrated service policy in an archipelago in facing the transformation of ICT-based services, analyzed the ability and commitment of one-door integrated service (PTSP) implementers, coordination patterns, private sector cooperation, and community participation in services so that it can provide a holistic and complete picture of implementation. The method used was descriptive qualitative by determining informants using purposive sampling. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document study. Next, semantic coding was carried out using the NVivo 12 Plus to determine the categories/themes to be generalized. The results of the study reveal that there is a community culture that encourages the mobile PTSP service system by GA and the involvement of NGA who works voluntarily and in business. Public support is very high, but the implementation performance has not yet reached the goal of self-help service (OSS) policy due to technical constraints, namely geographical distance, equipment, and budget. Keywords: cultural, commitment, informal, policy implementation

Deep hashing with self-supervised asymmetric semantic excavation and margin-scalable constraint

Due to its effectivity and efficiency, deep hashing approaches are widely used for large-scale visual search. However, it is still challenging to produce compact and discriminative hash codes for images associated with multiple semantics for two main reasons, 1) similarity constraints designed in most of the existing methods are based upon an oversimplified similarity assignment(i.e., 0 for instance pairs sharing no label, 1 for instance pairs sharing at least 1 label), 2) the exploration in multi-semantic relevance are insufficient or even neglected in many of the existing methods. These problems significantly limit the discrimination of generated hash codes. In this paper, we propose a novel Deep Hashing with Self-Supervised Asymmetric Semantic Excavation and Margin-Scalable Constraint(SADH) approach to cope with these problems. SADH implements a self-supervised network to sufficiently preserve semantic information in a semantic feature dictionary and a semantic code dictionary for the semantics of the given dataset, which efficiently and precisely guides a feature learning network to preserve multi-label semantic information using an asymmetric learning strategy. By further exploiting semantic dictionaries, a new margin-scalable constraint is employed for both precise similarity searching and robust hash code generation. Extensive empirical research on four popular benchmarks validates the proposed method and shows it outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches.

Knowledge Distillation-Based Multilingual Code Retrieval

Semantic code retrieval is the task of retrieving relevant codes based on natural language queries. Although it is related to other information retrieval tasks, it needs to bridge the gaps between the language used in the code (which is usually syntax-specific and logic-specific) and the natural language which is more suitable for describing ambiguous concepts and ideas. Existing approaches study code retrieval in a natural language for a specific programming language, however it is unwieldy and often requires a large amount of corpus for each language when dealing with multilingual scenarios.Using knowledge distillation of six existing monolingual Teacher Models to train one Student Model—MPLCS (Multi-Programming Language Code Search), this paper proposed a method to support multi-programing language code search tasks. MPLCS has the ability to incorporate multiple languages into one model with low corpus requirements. MPLCS can study the commonality between different programming languages and improve the recall accuracy for small dataset code languages. As for Ruby used in this paper, MPLCS improved its MRR score by 20 to 25%. In addition, MPLCS can compensate the low recall accuracy of monolingual models when perform language retrieval work on other programming languages. And in some cases, MPLCS’ recall accuracy can even outperform the recall accuracy of monolingual models when they perform language retrieval work on themselves.

Semantic Metadata Annotation Services in the Biomedical Domain—A Literature Review

For all research data collected, data descriptions and information about the corresponding variables are essential for data analysis and reuse. To enable cross-study comparisons and analyses, semantic interoperability of metadata is one of the most important requirements. In the area of clinical and epidemiological studies, data collection instruments such as case report forms (CRFs), data dictionaries and questionnaires are critical for metadata collection. Even though data collection instruments are often created in a digital form, they are mostly not machine readable; i.e., they are not semantically coded. As a result, the comparison between data collection instruments is complex. The German project NFDI4Health is dedicated to the development of national research data infrastructure for personal health data, and as such searches for ways to enhance semantic interoperability. Retrospective integration of semantic codes into study metadata is important, as ongoing or completed studies contain valuable information. However, this is labor intensive and should be eased by software. To understand the market and find out what techniques and technologies support retrospective semantic annotation/enrichment of metadata, we conducted a literature review. In NFDI4Health, we identified basic requirements for semantic metadata annotation software in the biomedical field and in the context of the FAIR principles. Ten relevant software systems were summarized and aligned with those requirements. We concluded that despite active research on semantic annotation systems, no system meets all requirements. Consequently, further research and software development in this area is needed, as interoperability of data dictionaries, questionnaires and data collection tools is key to reusing and combining results from independent research studies.

English-language Business Discourse as a Basis for Reflecting Speech Strategies

The problem of defining business discourse is to determine its place in the common national language. The aim of the proposed research is to systematize the scientific views of linguists to define the concept of business discourse in modern linguistics and identify its features as one of the institutional types of discourse. The concept of “discourse” is very ambiguous. It comes from the Latin word discursus, which literally means running in different directions. Gradually, the term acquires a huge number of different meanings. However, with all the variety of approaches, it is worth noting two main ones. Proponents of the first approach understand discourse as fragments of reality that have a temporal length, logic of unfolding (plot) and which are a finished work formed on the basis of the organization of meanings using the semantic code (dictionary, etc.). Discourse is part of the continuous movement of human experience. Due to this, it reflects the unique coincidence of circumstances in which and for which it was created. Determining the basic conditions for successful interaction of communicators of political discourse, we share the views of scholars. There are different views on the communicative and functional spheres of business discourse. Some scholars understand very narrowly the scope of application of this type of discourse, limiting it only to the professional activities of businessmen, others, on the contrary, significantly expand the range of situations in which business discourse may occur, including, in addition to business correspondence, negotiations, including telephone, and concluding agreements, as well as the procedure for hiring and firing, advertising, legal aspects and forms of business activity, policies, issues related to business coverage in the media, secular conversation and much more.

A Unified Approach for Representing Outdoor Scenes

Generalized image understanding of natural outdoor images is fundamentally a bottom-up approach guided by the data and information received from the digital input images. The importance of intermediate image representation that aids generalized image understanding, inspired the proposed a unified approach for providing a new meaningful and objective representation of a given outdoor scene. The proposed unified framework provides a novel set of string and semantic codes, based on inferential statistical data obtained from segments characterization and blocks characterization of natural outdoor images. The framework acts as an analytical tool that can categorize the input images into four types based on the inferential statistical representation - 1) Object-based image, 2) Heterogeneous color based texture image, 3) Homogeneous color based texture image, 4) Pure toned image. The proposed string and semantic code characterization is also rotation and scale variant. Such a representation is simple, unsupervised, computationally inexpensive and also places minimal demand on the storage. Later for a higher-level image analysis and understanding the proposed unified approach can provide focused interaction between the above intermediate representation and domain scene knowledge for object detection, classification, or recognition.

Adaptive Bit Rate Control in Semantic Communication With Incremental Knowledge-Based HARQ

Semantic communication has witnessed a great progress with the development of natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning (DL). Although existing semantic communication technologies can effectively reduce errors in semantic interpretation, most of these solutions adopt a fixed bit length structure, along with a rigid transmission scheme, which is inefficient and lacks scalability when faced with different meanings and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. In this paper, we explore the impact of adaptive bit lengths on semantic coding (SC) under various channel conditions. First, we propose progressive semantic hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes that utilize incremental knowledge (IK) to simultaneously reduce the communication cost and semantic error. On top of this, we design a novel semantic encoding solution with multi-bit length selection. In this fashion, the transmitter employs a policy network to decide the appropriate coding rate, so as to secure the correct information delivery at the cost of minimal bits. Moreover, a specific denoiser is further introduced to reduce the semantic errors encountered in the transmission process according to the semantic characteristics of context. Extensive simulation results have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Развитие сознания в контексте проблемы знакового и символического опосредствования

The problem of the development of individual consciousness as a process of acquisition of cultural forms and the formation of relations between its structural components is considered. The hypothesis is proposed that the various types of cultural forms which a person acquires build systemic links between components of the structure of consciousness. Acquisition of the corresponding types of cultural forms has a certain ontogenetic sequence. The typology of cultural forms is proposed. It is based on a functional criterion and correlates with the structure of consciousness. The cultural forms are divided into two groups — sign and symbolic. The sign forms represent the agent-to-object links and relations. The symbolic forms represent the agent-to-agent ones. The sign forms include objects-substituents (objective actions), spatial patterns, models, word-concepts, social gestures. Symbolic ones include bodily practices, artistic images, expressive gestures, myths (narratives) and symbols. Semantic codes occupy an intermediate position. Differentiation of ideas about the functions and ontogeny of assimilation of various cultural forms can be used to create a uniform practice of psychological assistance to children and adolescents based on a cultural-historical approach.

Психобібліографія Богдана Ігоря Антонича: між материнським і батьківським світами

The article deals with Bohdan Ihor Antonych’s art phenomenon, in particular the factors and trends of his creative evolution. The psychoanalytical approach is helpful in revealing concealed psychical frameworks in the author’s (art) consciousness, and also the key role of Maternal and Paternal archetypical figures in Antonych’s artistic world and writing technique as well. According to the purpose of considering the evolution of B. I. Antonych’s works through the prism of his lyric subject’s Oedipus attraction to Maternal and/or Paternal figures, the concept of “psycho-bibliography” has been proposed. In this concept, the notions of “psychobiography” and “bibliography” are combined. As an experimental literary study field psycho-bibliography assumes projecting the artist's psychical evolution onto his oeuvre, in particular, onto the periodicity of the publication of his books. Despite the harmonious relationships in Antonych's family, his works have shown a confrontation with the Paternal figure caused by his challenged separation from the Maternal figure. Both lead to deep internal conflicts in the writer’s psyche. In the article, it has been defined the specifics of the Paternal and Maternal semantic codes’ implementation in the poetics of B. I. Antonych, has been deciphered the poetic code of their symbolization, as well as characterizes the mental fluctuations expressed in the lyrics between Maternal and Paternal figures as the basis of an alternative interpretive strategy of the artist's work. The B.-I. Antonych's debut collection "Greetings of Life" (1931), despite the dominant motives of travel, youth, and sports, contains a number of poems on the topic of creativity as a dangerous but inevitable vocation for the lyrical subject. For him, creativity is associated with maternal power. He perceived his own devotion to it as a betrayal of the parental authority. As a symbolic compensation for this "sin", the collection "Great Harmony" (1932-1933) has been written. "Great Harmony" is marked by the dominant motives of trust in God and his Guidance, by which the parental archetype is guessed. In the poetics of the next collection, "Three Rings" (1934), the maternal archetype is actualized again. The priority of maternal energy is expressed through the symbolic triad "Night"-"Nature"-"Song" ("Creativity"). The lyric hero is ready to dissolve in the maternal substance, although it can reinforce his fear of confrontation with the parental world, as well as the fear of losing himself in the maternal one. The yearning to reduce this fear had caused a compensatory attraction to the paternal substances Logos, Law, and Order - in the next collection "The Book of the Lion" (1935). The balancing of maternal and paternal energy determines the poetics of the last B. I. Antonych’s collections "Green Gospel" and "Rotation" (both were published after the author’s death in 1938). The motive of death as the end of the life cycle characterizes the resolution of the mental conflict and the completion of the poet's / his lyric subject’s psychical evolution. The psycho-bibliographical approach of rereading Antonych’s oeuvre expands its interpretative field. In the article, contrary to numerous Antonych’s biography studies, there is an attempt to explain the strange logic of noticed author’s mental and art “ambiguity”.

Clone-Seeker: Effective Code Clone Search Using Annotations

Source code search plays an important role in software development, e.g. for exploratory development or opportunistic reuse of existing code from a code base. Often, exploration of different implementations with the same functionality is needed for tasks like automated software transplantation, software diversification, and software repair. Code clones, which are syntactically or semantically similar code fragments, are perfect candidates for such tasks. Searching for code clones involves a given search query to retrieve the relevant code fragments. We propose a novel approach called Clone-Seeker that focuses on utilizing clone class features in retrieving code clones. For this purpose, we generate metadata for each code clone in the form of a natural language document. The metadata includes a pre-processed list of identifiers from the code clones augmented with a list of keywords indicating the semantics of the code clone. This keyword list can be extracted from a manually annotated general description of the clone class, or automatically generated from the source code of the entire clone class. This approach helps developers to perform code clone search based on a search query written either as source code terms, or as natural language. With various experiments, we show that (1) Clone-Seeker is effective in finding clones from BigCloneBench dataset by applying code queries and natural language queries; 2) Clone-Seeker has a higher recall when searching for semantic code clones (i.e., Type-4) in BigCloneBench than the state-of-the-art; 3) Clone-Seeker is a generalized technique as it is effective in finding clones in Project CodeNet dataset by applying code queries and natural language queries. 4) Clone-Seeker with manual annotation outperforms other variants in finding clones on the basis of natural language queries

SYMBOLIC MEANING OF UKRAINIAN FOLK COSTUME IN SOCIALIST REALISM PAINTINGS

This article offers a scientific study devoted to various aspects of symbolism of traditional Ukrainian clothing in painting works of the period of socialist realism that took place in the 20th century, when Ukraine was incorporated in the Soviet Union. It was ascertained that despite the compelled adherence to the principles of social realism, Ukrainian artists made successful attempts in their works to convey national identity and respect for folk culture by depicting the characters wearing traditional garments. In particular, this study addressed and analyzed these aspects in the works by Volodymyr Kutkin, Mykhailo Bozhii, Tetiana Yablonska, Fedir Krychevskyi, Kostiantyn Lomykin. Purpose of study: analyzing stylistic meaning of Ukrainian folk costume through the prism of major trends of socialist realism in visual arts. The methodology of study involves the use of certain scientific approaches: analytical – when analyzing literary sources devoted to the topic of this study; interdisciplinary – for a multisided analysis of factual material and to confirm hypotheses; systemic – for application of a whole range of methods (art study, biographic, culturological, historical, theoretical generalization), while comprehensively developing perception of the topic addressed in this study. Scientific novelty: for the first time in the contemporary study of arts, artistic legacy of the era of socialist realism was reviewed through the symbolism of Ukrainian folk costume as a method of the artist’s national identity, a broadcaster of the era’s most important senses. Conclusions. This publication proves the assertion that symbolism of Ukrainian folk costume was an important broadcaster of socio-political situation during the period when Ukraine was incorporated in the Soviet Union, a broadcast of a form of protest of artistic circles against destruction of the national identity of the Ukrainian people. It embodies national dimensions of this identity, worldview principles of that time by emphasizing the importance of semantic codes in the costume, its significance for artists. During the era of socialist realism, artists depicted elements of traditional Ukrainian clothing to make sure that it becomes comprehensible for representatives of other ethnicities and in different historical periods. An analysis of paintings reveals the richness of symbolic forms of representing Ukrainian folk costume, related to everyday and production spheres of life, circumstances, epochal specifics. In their unity, they have bearing upon the perception of a wholesome image, which becomes possible as a result of decoding semantic information according to the established norms and trends of social realism, perception of the depicted character’s experience. The life story goes beyond territorial, linguistic, social, and other limitations.

What You See is What it Means! Semantic Representation Learning of Code based on Visualization and Transfer Learning

Recent successes in training word embeddings for Natural Language Processing ( NLP ) tasks have encouraged a wave of research on representation learning for source code, which builds on similar NLP methods. The overall objective is then to produce code embeddings that capture the maximum of program semantics. State-of-the-art approaches invariably rely on a syntactic representation (i.e., raw lexical tokens, abstract syntax trees, or intermediate representation tokens) to generate embeddings, which are criticized in the literature as non-robust or non-generalizable. In this work, we investigate a novel embedding approach based on the intuition that source code has visual patterns of semantics. We further use these patterns to address the outstanding challenge of identifying semantic code clones. We propose the WySiWiM ( ‘ ‘What You See Is What It Means ” ) approach where visual representations of source code are fed into powerful pre-trained image classification neural networks from the field of computer vision to benefit from the practical advantages of transfer learning. We evaluate the proposed embedding approach on the task of vulnerable code prediction in source code and on two variations of the task of semantic code clone identification: code clone detection (a binary classification problem), and code classification (a multi-classification problem). We show with experiments on the BigCloneBench (Java), Open Judge (C) that although simple, our WySiWiM approach performs as effectively as state-of-the-art approaches such as ASTNN or TBCNN. We also showed with data from NVD and SARD that WySiWiM representation can be used to learn a vulnerable code detector with reasonable performance (accuracy ∼90%). We further explore the influence of different steps in our approach, such as the choice of visual representations or the classification algorithm, to eventually discuss the promises and limitations of this research direction.

LRSCnet: Local Reference Semantic Code learning for breast tumor classification in ultrasound images

PurposeThis study proposed a novel Local Reference Semantic Code (LRSC) network for automatic breast ultrasound image classification with few labeled data.MethodsIn the proposed network, the local structure extractor is firstly developed to learn the local reference which describes common local characteristics of tumors. After that, a two-stage hierarchical encoder is developed to encode the local structures of lesion into the high-level semantic code. Based on the learned semantic code, the self-matching layer is proposed for the final classification.ResultsIn the experiment, the proposed method outperformed traditional classification methods and AUC (Area Under Curve), ACC (Accuracy), Sen (Sensitivity), Spec (Specificity), PPV (Positive Predictive Values), and NPV(Negative Predictive Values) are 0.9540, 0.9776, 0.9629, 0.93, 0.9774 and 0.9090, respectively. In addition, the proposed method also improved matching speed.ConclusionsLRSC-network is proposed for breast ultrasound images classification with few labeled data. In the proposed network, a two-stage hierarchical encoder is introduced to learn high-level semantic code. The learned code contains more effective high-level classification information and is simpler, leading to better generalization ability.

Adangiyah: Philosophy of Art in Tradition and Modernization

Dewa Ruci's journal on this edition is felt so special. Since volume 15 has been eager to target a wider audience. Many scientific idiographic concepts are important and need to be known by international readers. This edition is proud to present the most widely written articles by postgraduate students and lecturers from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Surakarta, Universities of Education from Surabaya, and Malang (East Java). What is special about this edition of this journal is the participation of the second author, who comes from various countries who are very encouraging to the first author. The participating writers from abroad are Adzrool Idzwan Ismail (Malaysia), Michiyo Yoneno Reyes (Japan), Nazima Rangwala Kalita (India), Lee Yong-Shik (South Korea), Jody Diamond (United States).We above appear to have six collaboratively written articles to publish on this occasion. The first author, Soerjo Wido Minato, wrote an article entitled “Art, Nature, and Culinary As Leverages for Village Branding at the Foot of the Mountain.” He discussed that coastal tourism and coastal villages have always been attractions, especially mountain villages that have succeeded in branding themselves as tourist villages. The Malang State University research team conducted research activities to support the preparation of Benjor Village to become a tourist village. An effective strategy for branding Benjor Village as a tourist village at the foot of the mountain is to synergize art, nature, and culinary arts in logos, songs, dances, taglines, videos, and social media.Next is Yulela Nur Imama's article entitled "Masak, Macak, Manak” at this time through challenge-based research on the creation of Nol dance," discussing 3M (cooking, preening, give birth) as cultural values for Javanese women. This study aims to determine the existence and relevance of these 3M values in dance works and how these values must be maintained. Tari Nol interprets 3M's cultural values.Hanna Medita wrote the article “Self Me: interpretation of self-injury in the context of healing,” discussing modernization that affects human needs. Self Me is a work inspired by the author's experience of self-injury which is very common among teenagers towards adulthood. Many symptoms are very likely to affect one's mental health. The work of Self Me gives a message about the importance of knowing self-injury early on and knowing what the symptoms of self-injury are.Rian Prasetya's article entitled "Color Formation of Musical Compositions of Children's Choir "Vocalista Angels" discusses the choir resulting from intensive training in various competitions in the Vocalista Angels (VA) group. The group emphasizes unique performance with sound color processing that deviates from the conventions of music theory. At the heart of quality processing at VA is building a distinctive tone of voice, trying to avoid musical tendencies based on classical vocal theory. An important element to form distinctiveness is a musical work that puts forward the method of wording, processing articulation, resonance, and intonation.Izam Ismail wrote the article "Media Adaptation of Mask Making in Malang: Study of Functional and Process for Making Fiber Masks" which discusses the adaptation made by changing the media without changing the shape and visuals that appear in Topeng Malang. The mask in the Malang Mask performance is a sacred form used by dancers by bringing the Panji character into the show. Making fiber masks begins with practice, namely making molds without changing the shape and ornaments on Malang Masks.Harmanto’s article entitled "The Concept of Tumbuk in Javanese Gamelan Tuning" discusses the phenomenon of musical mash in the Javanese karawitan tradition. Tumbuk is more than just a scale between Sléndro and Pélog. Tumbuk acts as a synchronizer in frequency and range between notes and a tone coordinator or add-on in the tuning system. Tones that have the same frequency in the tone of nêm are nêm sléndro and nêm pélog, nêm sléndro and pélog stuff, and others.The last writer is Hasbullah, with an article entitled "The Meaning Of Bali Aesthetic Code In The Animated Film Si Uma." He discusses the meaning of the Balinese aesthetic code in the animated film "Si Uma." The animated film gives a message through semantic codes such as cloth poleng, which connotes a balance of life and perfection. The meanings found from studying the Balinese aesthetic code in the animated film “Si Uma” are beauty, concentration, and cultural identity.That is the essence of the issue of Volume 16 Number 2 (December Edition), 2021. Hopefully, the knowledge that has been present in this publication can spur the growth of fine arts and performing arts in international networks, both in the arts. Creation and in the scientific research of art in general. We hope for the development of fine arts and arts.Thank you

The Meaning Of Bali Aesthetic Code In The Animated Film Si Uma

This study aims to analyze the meaning of aesthetic code in the animated film "Si Uma." The animated film "Si Uma" needs to be investigated because the reanimated film shows Balinese culture's beauty and has a unique character shape. Visualization of Balinese culture in this animated film contains a meaningful message for the life of the universe hitch conveyed through the form of code. The problem is what is the meaning of the Balinese aesthetic code represented in the animated film "Si Uma." The method used in this research is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The technique of determining the source of data in this study is the Snowball sampling technique. Data sources were collected through interviews with Ida Bagus Surya Manuba, I Nyoman Suci Rasika, and Gede Pasek Putra Adnyana Yasa. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing based on Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory and Roland Barthes' postmodern aesthetic code. The results of this study indicate that the aesthetic code in the animated film "Si Uma" in the form of a semantic code is associated with a black and white patterned fabric sign (poleng) which contains the meaning of life balance in the universe; the cultural code is associated with a headband (udeng) containing meaning to concentrate thoughts or views (concentration) in every activity in Bali. In conclusion, the meaning of the aesthetic code in the animated film "Si Uma" is seen from two perspectives such as : the semantic code in the form of Poleng Cloth is ideological containing the meaning of balance in life in the universe; cultural code in the form of a headband (udeng)is connotative which means to focus attention/thought, aesthetic, and cultural identity in worship and daily activities.

Sociologia dell’Intimità e Teoria sistemica. La forma sociale dell’amore dalla solidarietà senza scelta alla solidarietà senza consenso

Generally men and women bind themselves driven by what they call love. Creative and identity renewing exaltation, revolutionary force which suddenly makes the insipidness of one’s life visible, love is a profound emotion. The transition from love to loving, from love as pure emotion to active love in relationship, marks the difference between lovers of yesterday and lovers of today, over time and societies, highlighting the social form of intimacy. What, then, is the “form” of contemporary love? Do the risks that characterize today’s intimate life mean that love has now become emptied of meaning, sucked into the semantic code of a ‘light’ and ‘inconsistent’ love, as Bauman seems to want? Or is there another interpretative possibility, on the line that runs from Luhmann to Giddens to Beck? Paradoxically, is it perhaps that love seems to have no meaning because it has ‘too much’ meaning? In the framework of the relationship between Systems Theory and Intimacy Sociology, the paper addresses these questions, revisiting to this purpose the morphogenesis of love in the transition from solidarity without choice to solidarity without sharing.
