Full textAbstract:
Event-related potentials (ERP) play an important role in the early detection of emotional arousal. Previous studies of aesthetics have shown that the positive component appearing around 200 ms after stimulus (P2) and the larger late positive component (LPC) are closely related to the early stage of aesthetic judgment. We investigated the temporal features of facial aesthetic judgment on the basis of facial features by using the ERP technique. Participants were instructed to predict holistic face aesthetic level based on the regions of eyes, mouth, or nose. Behavioral results show that holistic score predictions based on the eye region were no different to holistic aesthetic ratings. The ERP analysis results show that beautiful eyes and faces elicited a smaller P2 amplitude and LPC amplitude when judging the holistic aesthetic. The P2 effect of facial aesthetics may reflect automatic processing of facial aesthetics and the difference in LPC may be related to motivational attention to facial aesthetics. Because of the similar ERP effect between the holistic facial aesthetic judgment and the aesthetic judgment of eye region, this region may play a significant role in predicting holistic facial aesthetics. The implication is that the eyes are not only a window to the soul, but also a benchmark of beauty.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of aesthetics and color of printed nutrition education materials on perceived credibility of the material content. Methods: A randomized 2 x 2 (aesthetics and color) factorial experimental design was completed on a university campus. Undergraduate and graduate students (N=204) were randomly assigned one of 4 types of flyers (high aesthetic-color, high aesthetic-black-and-white, low aesthetic-color, and low aesthetic-black-and-white). Perceptions on the flyer content (accurate, believable, biased, valuable, and trustworthy), perceptions of overall flyer quality (attractive, pleasant, confusing, and interesting), and knowledge of the content within the flyer were assessed via a survey after reading the flyer. Results: A statistically significant main effect of aesthetics was observed for perceived "trustworthiness" of the flyer information (p = .048). Flyers with high aesthetics, regardless of print color, had a higher mean score of "trustworthiness" (M = 6.01) than flyers with low aesthetics (M = 5.71). An interaction effect was seen for perception of the flyer being "confusing" (p = .02). The high aesthetic-black-and-white flyer had the highest mean score for "confusing" (M = 1.66) with the low aesthetic flyer printed in color having the second highest mean score for "confusing" (M = 1.56). Conclusions: The aesthetics of nutrition education materials appear to influence perceived trustworthiness of those materials.

Full textAbstract:
The aesthetic literacy of art-normal students is an important aspect of cultivating outstanding art education talents. However, the traditional aesthetic education model has problems, such as low personalization and unclear evaluation standards. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the application of artificial intelligence (AI) aesthetics in the cultivation of aesthetic literacy of art-normal students. This research uses literature review and analysis methods to systematically sort out the relevant research results and theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence aesthetics and the cultivation of aesthetic literacy of art-normal students and discusses the application methods of artificial intelligence aesthetics in the aesthetic cultivation of art-normal students. The research has found that artificial intelligence aesthetics can provide personalized learning and guidance for art-normal students and improve the learning effect by recommending learning resources and works suitable for their needs and levels.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the main problems and trends in the development of modern aesthetic education in Russia. It is noted that Russian aesthetic education is currently undergoing a number of positive innovative transformations associated with the processes of strengthening the virtual component in artistic culture and the social sphere. A number of scientific events, such as international conferences and the Russian Aesthetic Congress, held over the past five years, have served as an active incentive for the development of theoretical and practical aesthetics and aesthetic education. The current trends of modern aesthetics are identified: neuroesthetics, cultural aesthetics, environmental aesthetics, somaesthetics and synesthetic area, which have a stimulating effect on the development of aesthetic education. The special role and prospects of using synesthetic methodologies in modern aesthetics and aesthetic education are indicated, since in the conditions of digitalization of culture, synesthesia as a phenomenon of nonverbal associative thinking becomes one of the main means of preserving the integrity of world perception, an important method of developing flexibility of thinking and the ability of imagination.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the aesthetics of interactive objects (IOs), which are three-dimensional physical artefacts that exhibit autonomous behaviour when handled. The aim of the research was threefold: first, to investigate whether aesthetic preference for distinctive objects’ structures emerges in compound stimulation; second, to explore whether there exists aesthetic preference for distinctive objects’ behaviours; and, finally, to test whether there exists aesthetic preference for specific combinations of objects’ structures and behaviours. The following variables were systematically manipulated: (a) IOs’ contour (rounded vs angular), (b) IOs’ size (small vs large), (c) IOs’ surface texture (rough vs smooth), and (d) IOs’ behaviour (lighting, sounding, vibrating, and quiescent). Results show that behaviour was the dominant factor: it influenced aesthetics more than any other characteristic; vibrating IOs were preferred over lighting and sounding IOs, supporting the importance of haptic processing in aesthetics. Results did not confirm the size and smoothness effects previously reported in vision and touch, respectively, which suggests that the aesthetic preference that emerges in isolated conditions may be different in compound stimulation. Results corroborate the smooth curvature effect. We suggest that behavior may be an aesthetic primitive.

Full textAbstract:
Interest has been growing in the role of subjective aesthetics in the field of food. This study explored the mechanisms by which the aesthetic appeal of plate patterns influences consumers’ perceptions of food. Three experiments were conducted to compare whether different levels of beauty and types of plate pattern aesthetics (classical versus expressive) affected the perceptions of tastiness and healthiness of the food offered. Experiment 1 was carried out with 30 participants, and the results showed that participants perceived the food presented on more beautiful plates as tastier and healthier than the food on less beautiful plates. Experiment 2 was carried out with 128 participants; the results showed that, for expressively aesthetic plates, the participants experienced more positive emotions for very beautiful plates and more negative emotions for less beautiful plates. However, for classical aesthetic plates, participants’ emotions were not affected by the beauty of the plate. Experiment 3 was carried out with 149 participants, and the results showed that, for classically aesthetic plates, participants perceived the food placed in the middle to be tastier than food placed at the edge; however, for expressively aesthetic plates, food placement did not affect participants’ perceptions of food. These results demonstrate the importance of the subjective beauty of plate patterns in influencing consumers’ food perceptions, although this influence varies depending on the type of aesthetic design of the plate pattern.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractNasal bone fractures are the commonest type of bony facial injury causing aesthetic deformity. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of nasal trauma and fracture manipulation on the aesthetic proportions of the nose, by comparing pre- and post-treatment nasal aesthetics. Thirty-two patients (26 men and 6 women) underwent aesthetic assessment prior to treatment of the injury by closed nasal manipulation, 7 to 10 days after the initial injury. Standard facial aesthetic photographic assessments were performed prior to and following manipulation. Assessment involved measurement of standard nasal aesthetic parameters. In the nasal trauma cohort, the main anomalies in nasal aesthetics were nasal deviation and differences in the nasal aesthetic profile. Nasal fracture manipulation successfully reduced deviation from an average of 35° pre-manipulation to an average of 9° post-manipulation.

We investigated the effect of aesthetics in sport on exercise intention and revealed factors influencing the judgment of aesthetics via an open-ended survey. Participants were 75 university students who watched sports video clips and rated the influence of each clip on their exercise intention. Results showed there was a stronger exercise intention after watching clips with high compared to low aesthetic value. Movement, music, and clothing were the three factors that were mentioned most often by participants in regard to aesthetic judgments. Our study highlights the importance of the aesthetic value of sports and provides a method for selection of video materials to utilize these aesthetics to promote public health.

Full textAbstract:
After more than a decade of research into the effect of prototypicality on aesthetic preference, Boselie strongly questioned the validity of this concept [1]. It is argued, however, that his arguments against prototypicality as an explanatory concept in aesthetics are not convincing. The observed effects of prototypicality on preference together with theoretical notions on the importance of classification for perception and appraisal make a strong case for examining the relations between aesthetic preference and (proto)typicality.

The objective of this study is to examine the aesthetic awareness of art education academicians working in different higher education institutions of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Qualitative method and descriptive analysis were used in the study. A semi-structured interview form was created to reveal the views of academicians, and interviews were conducted to determine the levels of aesthetic competence with art education. The results of the research reveals that there is a relatively high level of aesthetic competence among the art educators who participated in the study. The participants emphasised that the theoretical structure of art classes can encourage students' creativity and aesthetic perceptions as well as awareness. In addition, the proficiency level of aesthetics may be directly related to the quality of art education curricula of the faculty. As a result, aesthetic perception levels not only help to improve students'success but also enable them to create artworks and motivate students' performance in creating artworks.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of hotel aesthetics as represented in online spaces (e.g. online travel agency website) in prospective guests’ evaluation of expected service quality and booking intentions, as well as the interplay between aesthetic and functional values as related to those outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A scenario-based experimental design is conducted with 203 Chinese respondents. A between-subject two-way multivariate analysis of covariance (high vs low aesthetic value; high vs low functional value), which also controlled for respondents’ individual tendency to appreciate beauty, is used. Findings Results show that high aesthetic value hotels are more likely to be booked and perceived as able to deliver better services in SERVQUAL dimensions of tangibles, reliability and assurance. There are no significant effects for responsiveness and empathy. Given the presence of the aesthetic effect, hotel functional value has no impact on the outcome variables. Practical implications Hotel managers are recommended to employ professional photographer-artists who are aware of the aesthetic value of hotels and can translate this value into information technology-mediated spaces. Such professionals should be able to create a composition that balances the elements of classic (e.g. symmetry vs asymmetry) and expressive (e.g. color) aesthetics. Originality/value This research brings out a number of insights from the product experience literature in the hospitality context and points to the limitations of the product visual attractiveness in engendering positive service quality evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
The word aesthetic has been generally found dangerous by architects. The subjective values related to aesthetics play a role in the perception of the discipline as related to ambiguous notions, in today’s architecture. However, the heart of the discipline resides in the universally recognized qualities/values in the periods of both when it was coined by Aleksander Gottlieb Baumgarten in the eighteenth century and when it was handled with the twentieth century’s phenomenological perspective toward the spatial atmosphere. While aesthetics in today’s architectural design trend proceeds on the basis of sensory experience and sensation, it also includes the concept of emotion that emerges behind this experience and sensation. Thus, while the atmosphere of space becomes the aesthetic object of architecture, it can be said that the phenomenon it corresponds to is a structure consisting of multi-layered architectural components and an organism that can be called more than this structure, including the experiencers and their pasts, and therefore constantly changing. At this point, it seems inevitable for the spatialized space to continue spatializing and thus become a narrative.
 
 When the traces of the nature of the spatializing and narrated space, aiming at the continuity of the experience-oriented movement, are followed on the basis of cultures in history, we encounter Japanese space aesthetics as a profound effect. The phenomena of Japanese culture, especially based on religion and geography, have taken place both in space and in words, and have become the genetic codes that ensure the transfer of culture between generations. Therefore, when a space and a poem are compared in Japanese culture, it can be seen that the creation intentions that shape these two tools, the phenomena conveyed and the messages presented are parallel to each other. The words that play a role in the design of the space and create it, and the spatial experience that is conveyed by the poetic can be read with different aesthetic codes in the genes of Japanese culture. One of these codes is the hanasuki aesthetic effect, which points to the symbiotic existence of opposite concepts and was brought to the literature by Kurokawa Kisho. When the concepts/language that creates the space and the space created in language/words are considered on the basis of hanasuki aesthetic effect, it gains legibility in both contexts.
 
 In this framework, the current study plans to question and read the aesthetic effect that encodes/creates space, first through the explanations of Japanese architects focusing on aesthetics in spatial design, and then through the spatial descriptions that we encounter in the works of Japanese poets. The content of the study focuses on the concept of contrast, which has aesthetic and philosophical foundations in Japanese culture and language and is based on a dynamic and symbiotic relationship, through texts describing the spaces belonging to this culture. The spatial structure connected by special bridges by the aesthetic effect arising from the symbiotic coexistence of opposite concepts in Japanese architecture corresponding to the word in the space and Japanese architecture in the word will be examined, and the correspondence of this effect, which takes place between the experiencer and the experienced (subject and object), in the Western theme, will also be referred. 
 
 Therefore, the texts are divided into two groups on the basis of a view (as words in the space) that can be seen as the reflection of cultural codes in the language, and readings of the representational existence of which the space is reconstructed through the references in the language (as space in the word). While the first group is trying to understand the aesthetic codes that appear in the language of the physical creation of the space through the explanations made by Japanese architects on the basis of aesthetics, the second group focuses on understanding the components and structuring of the same aesthetic codes by looking at the representation of the space in literary texts. The aim is to show that the basis of space creation and representation practices that shape Japanese architecture, in theory, corresponds to one of the aesthetic effects that have deep roots in this culture, hanasuki, which is born from the dynamic and symbiotic unity of contrasts. Understanding the past can guide the future: approaching the deficiencies and reservations about aesthetic tendencies in contemporary Western and Eastern architecture, including all architectural traditions and cultures, by looking at the relationship between Japanese aesthetic philosophy and architecture, which has a deep history in this field, can serve as a guide for us on the way to solution and progress.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. Evaluative aesthetic judgments and descriptive symmetry judgments were compared. Electrophysiological activity was recorded while participants judged the aesthetic value or the symmetry status of novel graphic black and white patterns. In order to experimentally separate judgment categorization processes and judgment report processes, participants were instructed to misreport their true actual judgment in half of the trials. Three effects found in a previous study were examined: (1) an early frontocentral effect for the evaluation of not-beautiful patterns reflecting an early impression formation, (2) a more pronounced ERP lateralization to the right for the aesthetic judgment task in comparison to the symmetry judgment task reflecting evaluative categorization, and (3) a sustained posterior effect for the visual analysis of symmetric patterns. In this study, (1) and (3) were replicated independent of the validity of the response, but (2) was affected by the validity, i.e., the effect was abolished in the false condition. Thus, results allowed further specification of cognitive processes involved in judgments of symmetry or aesthetics. Given present data, the ERP effects predominantly reflect judgment categorization and not judgment report.

Full textAbstract:
This study found that appearance management based on personal aesthetics is becoming important to modern people, but many studies were conducted mainly on women. We aimed to study whether men's sense of beauty influences appearance management behavior and the mediating effect of self-esteem, and the subjects were men in their 20s to 60s living across the country.The analysis method was multiple regression analysis and Sobel test. The results of the study showed that the aesthetic values of men's aesthetic consciousness (=-.133, p<.05) and social values (=.132, p<.05) showed that the lower the aesthetic values and higher the social values of men's aesthetic consciousness, the higher their self-esteem. It was high. The influence of aesthetic consciousness on appearance management behavior is expressed in terms of aesthetic values (=.141, p<.05) and social values (=.130, p<.05). The higher the aesthetic values and social values of male aesthetic consciousness, the higher the appearance. Management behavior was high. The mediating effect of selfesteem in the relationship between aesthetic values and appearance management behavior is (Z=2.030, p<.05), and the mediating effect of self-esteem in the relationship between social values and appearance management behavior is (Z=2.030, p<.05). The mediating effect of self-esteem in relationships was (Z=-2.051, p<.05). These results have academic significance as a study on men's aesthetic consciousness and can be used as basic data to establish the development and differentiation of the beauty industry targeting men.

Full textAbstract:
The aesthetic judgment of an artifact is usually interpreted as an assessment of the artifact's sensory properties. But an artifact can also be appreciated, and still aesthetically, for the way it fulfills its purpose. Existing design theory does not provide the concepts required for describing this aspect of aesthetic appreciation and so cannot fully explain what people mean when they say a product is beautiful. In this paper, we develop an understanding of the aesthetic judgment based on the principle of maximum effect for minimum means. We explain how a means–effect relationship can be established between a product and its purpose or effect, and how the product and the effect can be perceived to be minimal and maximal. We also explain how the appreciation of this relationship depends on a set of assumed alternatives for both the product or means and the effect. Finally, we provide some directions for future research into design aesthetics.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the structure of experience of architectural expressiveness of architects and non-architects. Twenty architects and twenty non-architects rated twenty photographs of architectural objects on thirty expressiveness scales. Principal components analysis revealed four factors for both groups of participants: Aggressiveness, Regularity, Color and Aesthetics. In a cluster analysis two clusters of architectural objects were obtained: Choleric (high Aggressiveness and Color) and Phlegmatic (low Aggressiveness and Color, and high Regularity). All objects were highly rated on Aesthetics. Analysis of variance has shown that architects rated both clusters as less aggressive than non-architects. Also, experts rated the Phlegmatic cluster as more aesthetic, while nonexperts rated the Choleric cluster as more aesthetic. These results supported the Processing Fluency model: compared to non-architects, architects processed the expressive information of minimalistic objects (Phlegmatic cluster) with ease, which led towards positive hedonic reactions and higher.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural and recreational values of biodiversity are considered as important dimensions of nature's contribution to people. Among these values, the aesthetics can be of major importance as the appreciation of beauty is one of the simplest forms of human emotional response. Using an online survey, we disentangled the effects of different facets of biodiversity on aesthetic preferences of coral reef fish assemblages that are among the most emblematic assemblages on Earth. While we found a positive saturating effect of species' richness on human preference, we found a net negative effect of species abundance, no effect of species functional diversity and contrasting effects of species composition depending on species' attractiveness. Our results suggest that the biodiversity–human interest relationship is more complex than has been previously stated. By integrating several scales of organization, our study is a step forward in better evaluating the aesthetic value of biodiversity.

As a result of the rapid appreciation of the exchange rate in the recent period, the Turkish lira depreciated. Turkey continues to be one of the pioneering countries in the field of aesthetics/cosmetics. For this reason, it is one of the most preferred countries for aesthetic / cosmetic tourism. However, there has been a decrease in purchasing power as a result of the increase in material prices for hospitals, clinics and other health institutions providing aesthetic/cosmetic services in Turkey. The depreciation of the Turkish lira has had both positive and negative effects on aesthetic/cosmetic tourism, as it has on many other sectors. At this stage, prompt, effective political, economic and social decisions must be taken to ensure a comprehensive recovery process in the shortest possible time.

In recent years, Internet teaching has become more and more popular. In the field of aesthetic education, many scholars have successfully integrated artificial intelligence technology into innovative teaching. This paper analyzes the aesthetic status quo of Chinese universities, its advantages and disadvantages and innovative ideas. Taking music in artificial intelligence as an example, this paper combines high technology with aesthetic education to explore the effect of integrating artificial intelligence music into college students' aesthetic education. The results show that most students think that music in artificial intelligence has great advantages in assisting aesthetics. The aesthetic level of students who combine traditional teaching with artificial intelligence music is higher than that of students who adopt traditional teaching as a whole. This study is of great significance to the combination of artificial intelligence music in college aesthetic education, which is conducive to promoting the development of college students' aesthetic education.

Full textAbstract:
This paper identifies an aesthetics implicit in Spinoza’s philosophy through the concept of a genesis of the aesthetic. A <em>genesis </em>of the aesthetic indicates that a philosophy of art is not yet fully formed in his work, but can emerge as a consequence or effect of his thought. This aesthetic theory would evaluate the work of art primarily in its relationship to <em>truth</em>. Following the architectonics of Spinoza’s own thought, this paper constructs a progression – moving from the imagination, to reason, to intuition – toward a concept of aesthetic practices that aligns itself ever more closely with the freedom, perfection, and affirmation of infinite substance itself. The specific forms of aesthetic reception and production flowing from Spinoza’s ideal of wisdom unite two seemingly disparate paradigms: the aesthetic as essentially affirmative, as a joy in the individual power of every individuated thing, on the one hand; and the cultivation of a critical, ethically informed aesthetics of liberation, one capable of occupying different positions (obedience, autonomy, resistance) with respect to state or sovereign power, on the other hand.

The specific forms of aesthetic reception and production flowing from Spinoza’s ideal of wisdom unite two seemingly disparate paradigms: the aesthetic as essentially affirmative, as a joy in the individual power of every individuated thing, on the one hand; and the cultivation of a critical, ethically informed aesthetics of liberation, one capable of occupying different positions (obedience, autonomy, resistance) with respect to state or sovereign power, on the other hand.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to assess the influence of upper incisor inclinations on smiling profile aesthetics in skeletal Class III patients, considering the effects of skeletal simulations, the assessor’s expertise, and the assessor’s gender. A smiling profile photograph of a Thai female with normal skeletal, dental, and soft tissue features was digitally adjusted to represent 16 images with 4 skeletal simulations and 4 upper incisor inclinations. The number of assessors was 180, which included orthodontists, general dentists, and laypersons. They were asked to evaluate the smiling profile aesthetics of each image using a numerical rating scale. The aesthetic scores were analysed using a mixed between-within-subjects ANOVA (p < 0.05). The results showed that the interaction effect between orthodontic expertise and upper incisor inclinations was not observed in the skeletal Class III groups. Normal upper incisor inclination had the highest aesthetic score. Proclination of the upper incisors by 3° significantly decreases the aesthetic score, except in the skeletal Class III with prognathic mandible group. The assessor’s gender did not affect the aesthetics score of the smiling profile. In conclusion, upper incisor inclinations and skeletal simulations significantly influenced smiling profile aesthetics in the skeletal Class III simulations. The assessor’s expertise and gender did not affect the evaluations.

Incisor retraction may result in lip retraction, interlabial gap closure and increase of the nasolabial angle but a clear consensus on the effect of incisor retraction on facial aesthetics has not yet been achieved. Despite current evidence being weak, it seems to indicate that in a well-managed orthodontic case, with or without extractions, the soft-tissue and facial aesthetic changes are generally favourable or clinically insignificant.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents two interactive artworks that represent a shift in artistic practice in their approach to active spectatorship. This approach to interaction incorporates the cognitive processes of the participant through an aesthetic interconnection between technological effect and affective human response. The discussion of the artworks seeks to demonstrate how this aesthetic interconnection creates a novel approach to an engagement with interaction, while suggesting a new forum for addressing the philosophical problem of the relationship between body and mind. This aesthetic interconnection between technology and human cognition, which will be referred to as affective aesthetics, is stimulated by introducing a novel application of emerging technologies that dynamically effect and evaluate the participant's affective responses through cognitive feedback loops within interactive artworks.

Full textAbstract:
This fMRI study investigates the effect of melody on aesthetic experience in listeners naïve to formal musical knowledge. Using simple melodic lines, whose syntactic structure was manipulated, we created systematic acoustic dissonance. Two stimulus categories were created: canonical (syntactically “correct,” in the Western culture) and modified (made of an altered version of the canonical melodies). The stimuli were presented under two tasks: listening and aesthetic judgment. Data were analyzed as a function of stimulus structure (canonical and modified) and stimulus aesthetics, as appraised by each participant during scanning. The critical contrast modified versus canonical stimuli produced enhanced activation of deep temporal regions, including the parahippocampus, suggesting that melody manipulation induced feelings of unpleasantness in the listeners. This was supported by our behavioral data indicating decreased aesthetic preference for the modified melodies. Medial temporal activation could also have been evoked by stimulus structural novelty determining increased memory load for the modified stimuli. The analysis of melodies judged as beautiful revealed that aesthetic judgment of simple melodies relied on a fine-structural analysis of the stimuli subserved by a left frontal activation and, possibly, on meaning attribution at the charge of right superior temporal sulcus for increasingly pleasurable stimuli.

Purpose This research posits that e-vendors can use product aesthetic information (PAI) as a strategic positing tool to shape consumers’ perceptions of e-vendors’ websites. Design/methodology/approach To test this framework, variations on a garment’s color (a crucial element of product aesthetics) are presented to four different treatment groups to determine whether aesthetic treatment influences the perception of the website. Findings The results suggest that consumers who consider a product visually appealing also perceive the e-vendor’s website as useful, resulting in enjoyment of the shopping experience. Positive perceptions lead consumers to form positive attitudes toward the vendor’s website. Originality/value While product aesthetics is well-studied in marketing and psychology, its relevance to the e-commerce domain is relatively underexplored. To fill the void, the paper proposes a theoretical framework that explains how PAI influences buyers’ cognitive and affective evaluations of their online shopping experiences, which in turn shapes their attitudes toward e-vendors’ sites.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is the fundamental concepts of the analytics of trauma and means of their integration into an aesthetic discourse. The goal of this work consists in determination of theoretical aspects of the aesthetics of trauma. The impact of historical trauma of the XX century upon a man and entire communities is tremendous; and art becomes the space for representation of traumatic experience. The author examines such types of art as literature, cinema and painting, and demonstrates the ways of deflection of traumatic experience in the artworks. Discipline of the aesthetics of art is viewed as an autonomous phenomenon, which is of great importance for the development modern philosophical and aesthetic concepts. The research methods are structured on the philosophical-aesthetic approach that leans on the analysis of individual concepts of the aesthetics of trauma; aesthetic methods of research in development of aesthetic concepts in the context of practical examination of literary text are laced with the methods of literary studies and culturological approach. The conclusion is made that literature and cinematography re-create narrative around the historical trauma by testifying to the trauma in such way that the recipient could borrow the narrative and experience a relief in working through the trauma by means of the language of art. Painting depicts frightful, and allows the audience to feel therapeutic effect through clashing with the frightful.

Self-translation is a particular translation phenomenon. A self-translator may have a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the original text than other translators. Translation is not simply the process of language transformation, but also a process of aesthetic representation with proper aesthetic creation by the translator from the original poems to the target ones. As a well-known writer and translator, Yu’s self-translated poem collection The Night Watchman shows his translation competence, and profound translation thoughts. Based on the theory of translation aesthetics, this research is going to discuss self-translation, and how Yu Kwang-chung reproduces the originals, aesthetic effect in form, sound and imagery, providing a new research angle and material for studies on his translation aesthetic thoughts.

Full textAbstract:
Every encounter with a work of art has the potential to give birth to the aesthetic experience. The depth of the experience and its transformative effect is different on each person. However, as an experience, its existence is not in doubt. The problem lies on whether an aesthetic experience is something purely subjective or objective. If the aesthetic experience is objective, to what extent can it be accounted for? Could an aesthetic experience encourage certain ethical action? In this paper the author argues that an aesthetic experience is always moving between the directions of a pendulum, namely, when the artwork appeared to the awareness of the subject and when the experiencing subject narrated the experience. The author wants to defend one of the main positions in aesthetics which says that not only the aesthetic experience encourages a particular moral action, the artwork itself might often stand as a medium of a moral struggle for the betterment of the people.

The design system based on aesthetic principles is the most representative in the field of design and has a certain significance for the research and construction of design aesthetics and the development of design education. Therefore, this paper studies the application of pattern recognition system in the field of design based on aesthetic principles and designs a new type of aesthetic principle design system based on pattern recognition in computer vision. This paper proposes pattern similarity measurement and image preprocessing technology to improve the traditional aesthetic principle design system through pattern recognition and then further refine the research of the whole system through histogram equalization and gamma correction. Finally, the MNIST dataset experiment is used to verify the effect of multicolumn convolutional neural network pattern recognition on the aesthetic principle design system. The questionnaire survey experiment in this article and the traditional comparative experiment show that 76% of the public are very satisfied with this design system based on the aesthetic principles of pattern recognition in computer vision. Also, the improved aesthetic principle system scores as high as 90–95 points.

Full textAbstract:
The digital library brought with it several challenges which do not fully erode the traditional libraries in developing countries such as Nigeria as most libraries have become a complex entity with the operation of both the traditional and the digital libraries. Therefore, as library service providers are trying to guarantee the smooth operation of the physical library, they are also struggling to ensure a seamless digital library. Therefore, various aspect of the design such as the aesthetic condition which include the e-aesthetics need to be put into consideration in designing the digital library web pages respectively. It was on this premise that this study focused on the relevance of e-aesthetics in the sustainability of Nigerian Libraries in this digital era. The study adopted an interpretivist research paradigm hinged on the a systematic literature review strategy of journal articles, books, and other online materials in addition to focusing on empirical studies between year 2000 and 2021 from Google Scholar. A content analysis was deployed and information resources obtained were grouped into the major themes to address the objective of the study. The findings of this study revealed that as aesthetic conditions and facilities were of high relevance and significance in the traditional library operation towards ensuring increase usage and sustainability, so the relevance of e-aesthetics in the sustainability of Nigerian Libraries in the digital era cannot be underestimated if Nigeria libraries must keep abreast to the global effect of digital transformational effect on the library and information service system. It recommends that e-aesthetic issues should be taken into considerations in the development of digital library webpages to create a user-friendly environment and also ease of usage is of high premium in ensuring increase usage and sustainability of Nigerian library.

Full textAbstract:
This research delves into the intricate interplay between aesthetic intelligence, aesthetic sensitivity, and psychological well-being within the framework of positive psychology, with a particular emphasis on the integrative impact of Dysport in cosmetic procedures. By recognizing the significant influence of environmental aesthetics on individual health and well-being, this study seeks to illuminate the relationship between aesthetic intelligence and psychological well-being while considering the role of Dysport in cosmetic procedures. Employing a correlational research design, structural equation modeling was utilized as the methodological approach. The research cohort comprised all students enrolled at Bu-Ali Sina University during the academic year 2018-2019. Employing cluster sampling, 384 students were selected based on the recommended sample size for structural equation modeling. The instruments included the Ryff Well-being Scale, the Aesthetic Intelligence Scale developed by Rashid et al., and Abdulsalami's Aesthetic Sensitivity Scale. Findings revealed significant direct impacts of both aesthetic intelligence and aesthetic sensitivity on psychological well-being. Moreover, aesthetic intelligence demonstrated a direct and significant effect on aesthetic sensitivity. Exploration of indirect relationships indicated that aesthetic intelligence, mediated by aesthetic sensitivity, significantly influenced psychological well-being. These findings underscore the importance of individuals' awareness and appreciation of environmental beauty, including the role of Dysport in cosmetic procedures, in positively contributing to psychological well-being.

Full textAbstract:
The current study delved into how aesthetic context intertwined with cell molecular biomechanics to influence pupils’ explicit and implicit altruistic behaviour. In Experiment 1, when looking at the effects of different aesthetic contexts on pupils’ explicit altruistic behaviour, it was found that explicit aesthetic context had a notable priming effect on implicit altruistic behaviour. From a cell molecular biomechanics perspective, perhaps in an explicit aesthetic context, specific cell surface receptors respond to external stimuli related to beauty, triggering intracellular molecular signaling pathways that eventually influence implicit altruistic responses more than in implicit or non-aesthetic contexts where such coordinated signaling is less pronounced. Experiment 2 on implicit altruistic behaviour again detected the implicit association test (IAT) effect. Implicit aesthetic contexts showed a significant priming effect. Here, at the cell molecular level, the microenvironment within cells might be altered by the implicit aesthetic perception, like changes in cytoplasmic viscosity or the movement of organelles affected by aesthetic feelings, which then play a key role in shaping implicit altruistic behaviour compared to explicit and non-aesthetic contexts. Overall, it’s clear that explicit and implicit altruistic behaviours rely on distinct processing mechanisms involving both aesthetic context and cell molecular biomechanics. The two aesthetic contexts have selective impacts via different path mechanisms related to these cellular processes.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the psychological and behavioural mechanisms of college students’ aesthetic behaviours. A survey was administered to 1,060 students attending general undergraduate universities and measured four structured scales: aesthetic cognition, aesthetic emotion, aesthetic value tendency and aesthetic behaviour. The responses were scored with a 5-point Likert scale. Structural equation modelling was used to construct the measurement model and structural model. The survey results indicate a positive correlation among the four variables. Second, aesthetic cognition has a direct and positive predictive effect on college students’ daily aesthetic practices. Furthermore, aesthetic cognition influences aesthetic behaviour through the chain mediating effect of aesthetic feeling and aesthetic preference. Accordingly, we conclude that the concrete path and mechanism of college students’ aesthetic cognitions affect their aesthetic behaviours. Specifically, college students’ aesthetic cognitive abilities are conducive to their cognitions of positive aesthetic feelings and their cultivation of aesthetic standards, boosting the development of their daily aesthetic practice.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the possibilities of the formal analysis of the fine-art painting composition on the basis of the classical definitions of beauty and computational aesthetics’ approaches of the second half of the 20th century he authors define the problem and consider solutions for the formalization of aesthetic perception in the context of aesthetic text, i.e., as part of the fine arts composition – a formal sequence of signs simply ordered in accordance with the syntactic rules’ system. The methodology of the research is defined by the general semiotics, distinguishing semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of a sign, by the aesthetic analysis’ methods, ranging according to the author’s message aesthetics, receptive aesthetics, and text aesthetics, as well as by the computational analysis methods connected with neural network means of defining the images’ symmetry. The article reveals preconditions for the emergence and also the current state of computational aesthetics as an interdisciplinary branch of knowledge. Analyzing the problem from the perspective of philosophy, aesthetics, semiotics, and technology, the authors draw attention to the need to improve the computational aesthetics methods. Firstly, the existing methods do not always enable to describe the fine-art object adequately. Secondly, there exists the so-called reduction of aesthetic assertion transforming it into the assertion concerning the object’s external characteristics. As a result, the authors assume that the increasing complexity of the current mathematical models and the experts’ subjective assessment support will allow to reach a compromise solution that enables the development of computational aesthetics as a branch of knowledge. Enhancement and development of the mathematical models, taking into account the rules of semiotics and subjectivism of the human perception, is the relevant objective of computational analysis of the aesthetic fine-arts text. The results of the present research supports the classic statement regarding the underivability of semantic and pragmatic propositions from syntax. The research concludes that relevant objectives are to find a correlation between, one the one hand, the axes and points of symmetry, deriving from the neural simulation, and, on the other hand, aesthetic effect, emerging from the perception of fine-art paintings.

Objectives. The aim of the study was to evaluate the perception of smile aesthetics in patients with varying degrees of anterior crowding and spacing among dental specialists, dentists, dental students, and laypersons and to assess the effect of the lips position. Materials and Methods. Clinical photos of cases of anterior crowding (mild, moderate, and severe) and spacing (mild, moderate, and severe) with and without the associated lips were used. The images were evaluated by 250 persons including dental specialists, dentists, dental students, and laypersons using the rating scale method, (extremely unaesthetic to extremely aesthetic, 1 to 5, respectively). Nonparametric tests were used to analyse the data on SPSS version 24. Results. According to the 250 responses, the aesthetic perception of all severities of anterior crowding and mild and moderate spacing was found to be more aesthetic when displayed with the lips ( p < 0.05 ). Additionally, the higher the level of dental education, the lower the aesthetic perception with and without the lips ( p < 0.05 ). Conclusions. The lips play a significant role in improving the aesthetics of crowded anterior teeth and spaced anterior teeth. Dental educational level influences the aesthetic perception of anterior crowding and spacing. This may have an impact on treatment planning and need for orthodontic intervention.

The narrative technique designed to be adopted for the narration of the story in the first person and merely by a kid narrator necessarily integrates into itself the language style which is constituted by such specific use of language (English) to suit the aesthetic need of the narration. The aesthetic effect achieved through the fusion of the child first-person narration and the specific language style in the story is one in the form of aesthetics of realism, particularly realism in the characterization of the grandfather as the main character and of Pete as the child narrator, which constitutes the attractiveness of the story. Using a stylistic approach in the analysis of the narration, this article is aimed at revealing how the specific language use in the short story The Grandfather constitutes a quite effective device for aesthetic achievement.</em><em></em></p>

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The aim of this study is to examine the role of aesthetic experiential qualities for tourist overall satisfaction and three types of loyalty. Design/methodology/approach A national tourist route in Norway was chosen as an empirical context for this study. Totally, the role of five aesthetic experiential qualities were examined, namely, scenery, cleanliness harmony, art/architecture and genuineness. Findings The findings reveal that the three aesthetic experiential qualities, scenery, harmony and genuineness, were all positively related to tourist overall satisfaction with the tourist road. Moreover, tourist overall satisfaction had a direct influence on three types of loyalty, referring to tourists’ intentions to recommend the tourist road to other, to revisit same tourist road and to visit similar tourist roads in the future. However, the findings reveal that only two aesthetic qualities, cleanliness and genuineness, had a direct effect on intention to revisit the same tourist road, and thus indicates a more complex explanatory pattern concerning tourist loyalty. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to five aesthetic experiential qualities in a specific nature-based tourist context. The results open up some of the areas for future research on the role of aesthetics in man-made environments (in addition to the natural environment) in nature-based tourism. When most of the other variables are similar, aesthetic experiential qualities may make a difference to a nature-based product’s performance, and thus provide the competitive edge. Practical implications Destination managers and marketers should focus on aesthetic experiential qualities to increase tourist satisfaction and loyalty, and thereby strengthen a destination competitiveness and value creation. Originality/value Responding to the need to focus on aesthetic experiential qualities in a nature-based tourism context, this study measures the effects of the aesthetic experiential qualities for tourist satisfaction and loyalty in an original destination setting.

Full textAbstract:
This article makes a novel argument that governance of corporate environmental activities should recognize that the business corporation is an aesthetic phenomenon, including the environmental practices and communications undertaken in the name of “corporate social responsibility” [CSR]. Corporate identities and CSR practices are aesthetically projected through logos, trademarks, websites, the presentation of products and services, stylish offices, company uniforms, and other aesthetic artefacts. This corporate “branding” dovetails with the broader aestheticization of our pervasive media and consumer culture. Aesthetics has particular salience in CSR for influencing, and sometimes misleading, public opinion about corporate environmental performance. Consequently, in disciplining unscrupulous corporate behaviour, governance methods must be more responsive to such aesthetic characteristics. The green illusions of business communications create difficulties for regulation, which is better suited to disciplining discrete misleading statements about retailed products or trademarks rather than tackling the broader aesthetic character of business and the marketplace. The article suggests that non-state actors who are more sensitive to aesthetics can help to fill some of this governance void. The “counter-aesthetic” strategies of social and environmental activist groups can inject a subversive narrative that can help to unmask these green illusions. Although the history of such tactics suggests they probably have only a modest effect in challenging corporate deception, the law can assist by protecting public spaces from corporate marketing and sponsorship.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates a new dynamic (i.e., space-time) model to measure aesthetic values in pathfinding for videogames. The results we report are important firstly because the artificial intelligence literature has given relatively little attention to aesthetic considerations in pathfinding. Secondly, those investigators who have studied aesthetics in pathfinding have relied largely on anecdotal arguments rather than metrics. Finally, in those cases where metrics have been used in the past, they show only that aesthetic paths are different. They provide no quantitative means to classify aesthetic outcomes. The model we develop here overcomes these deficiencies using rescaled range (R/S) analysis to estimate the Hurst exponent, . It measures long-range dependence (i.e., long memory) in stochastic processes and provides a novel well-defined mathematical classification for pathfinding. Indeed, the data indicates that aesthetic and control paths have statistically significantly distinct signatures. Aesthetic paths furthermore have more long memory than controls with an effect size that is large, more than three times that of an alternative approach. These conclusions will be of interest to researchers investigating games as well as other forms of entertainment, simulation, and in general nonshortest path motion planning.

The Book of Songs not only boasts rhythm in reading, but also has a good effect in meaning expression and rhetoric. Taking the translation of The Book of Songs as an example, this thesis focuses on the study of aesthetic features in Xu Yuanchong’s translation from the perspective of Translation Aesthetics, and analyzes the translation aesthetic principles embodied in the translation cases. Poetry translation can be concluded that it not only requires accurate language, but also needs aesthetic features. Therefore, the translator should analyze the aesthetic features of the original poem before translating the poem, namely the beauty of meaning, sound and form. At the same time, the translator should give full play to his creative ability, and seek for the harmony and unity of meaning, sound and form on the basis of the original text, so as to make the translated poem equal to the original poem in aesthetic function.
