"Many elements have been identified within the educational system, among which attention to their aesthetics can enhance learners' enjoyment of learning and place them in a satisfying educational situation. These factors include:
- Aesthetics in the teacher's teaching methods: This means that the teacher's instructional approaches should be accompanied by enthusiasm, curiosity, and engagement.
- Aesthetics in educational content: This refers to the educational content being characterized by inquiry, innovation, and novelty, as well as having physical beauty, color, and attractive design.
- Aesthetics of the learning environment: This means that learners should feel good about being in the classroom and educational space, receiving a sense of calm, respect, and value."
Dear Colleagues,
Pierre Bourdieu published his text Distinction in 1979. What is your view of this way of assessing culture and culture's self-replication via class?
Please share your thoughts here. All comments are welcome.

I am introducing a workshop/symposium that will take place at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, at the 23rd Scientific Conference of the Society for Gestalt Theory and its Applications, September 25-27 (link: https://www.gtaconference2024.com/). Confirmed speakers are: Liliana Albertazzi, Thiago Costa, Stefano Mastandrea, Alessandro Soranzo and Ian Verstegen. Below is the abstract of the conference.
What is needed for a proper ’science of art’?
In his book L’Osteria dei dadi truccati (Loaded Dice Tavern), Massironi (2000) claims that all psychologist interested in art tend to study it from the theoretical perspective that characterizes their work and beliefs. This, of course, is quite normal. The question, however, is whether such a pulverised approach is fruitful in addressing the complexity of Art as a phenomenon.
From another perspective, Zeki, the father of neuroaesthetics, attempted to address relevant questions, such as the very nature of art and why it is so significant to us. According to Zeki, the only way to properly address those important issues is through a neuroscientific approach. However, considering what we know and still don’t know about how the brain processes art, are we sure to be on the path to find the answers we are seeking?
There is of course a third path, experimental aesthetics, the goal of which is to study the aesthetic experience. The question one might want to ask is whether all aesthetic experiences are related to art, or even whether the enjoyment of an artwork is always reducible to an aesthetic experience (could there be more than mere preferences and the appraisal of beauty, harmony, etc.?). Finally, would it make sense to combine all possible approaches? Would this allow to achieve a proper science of art? Is this even feasible from an epistemological perspective?
The goal of this workshop is to shine a little light upon these topics and to prepare the basis for future meetings, the topics of which would revolve around the feasibility of a science of art and, eventually, its goals, perspectives and methods.
Kirk Aanes must have been kind for Mulan (his ex) to speak well of him. "Just learned of the passing of Kirk Aanes. My condolences to his famiy and loved ones. He was a good soul. RIP, dear one"( https://twitter.com/MingNa/status/431264318701584384?s=19 ).

i need a journal that takes maximum 2 months to publish . Q1 or Q2
"Could the ongoing advancements in endoscopic rhinoplasty techniques mark a transformative milestone in nasal reconstruction, offering unprecedented precision and minimal invasiveness? How might these innovations redefine traditional approaches, not only in achieving superior functional outcomes and aesthetic finesse but also in mitigating post-operative complications and expediting patient recovery?"
Observe how even today linguistic empiricism via direct denotative reference and sense, via linguistic-analytic philosophies, reigns supreme in philosophy. It is superfluous here to cite how Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, etc. have used the merely directly denotative sense to define sense, reference, proposition, truth value, and so forth.
The natural but extreme consequence from the Frege-Wittgenstein tendency is linguistic idealism, whereby somehow language and – for them consequently – even logic and mathematics (!) are made not only to define but also to determine the world. Berkeley would have done it better!
Justifiably enough from the necessary nature of derivation of linguistic idealism from direct linguistic and logical denotation, Richard Gaskin, a philosopher of language, aesthetics, and literature, has come upon this conclusion – presumably determined also by the necessity to bring aesthetic and literary worlds under the aegis of linguistic use and produce a language philosophy of aesthetic and literary experience.
But this motive would not suffice to posit linguistic idealism as a philosophical solution.
We used to have some project that discussed these interesting topics. I hope some of you will start this discussion going from your own perspective. How does art connect with science? My husband works in science and I am definitely one of those "mind wanderers" who get so easily distracted because in art we think associatively.
I almost daily have to think why I don't mind how my mind works. What are your thoughts in these two very different styles of cognitive activity?
1)I am starting to instinctively disdain packaged food both because it's heuristically very processed and tacky.
2)Thus, my favorite food is either home cooked or from the grocery store.
3)With the processed food comes cancer. With the tacky comes horrible aesthetics.
How are ethics usually derived, regardless of their effectiveness on survival? Why? How? Metaphysics(because that reflects the afterlife and our eternalness of consciousness), then epistemology(because philosophy of knowledge informs the consequences of acts), then aesthetics(because emotions and perceptions of beauty dictate how one will execute acts), and finally ethics. As far as what DOES lead to survival, those are tradition(what has worked for ancestors to reproduce into the current practicers), risk analysis(because all acts are executed on incomplete knowledge, thus risks have to be analyzed for survival), then finally skin in the game(because paying a price for being wrong is most effective on the individual level of survival, even though individual acts almost inevitably affect others).
How does artificial intelligence answering aesthetic questions result in automated emotions? My answer: maybe artificial intelligence will plausibly obtain emotions through learning aesthetics.
Dear Researchers,
I became the head of the Institute for Management Research at Collegium Civitas, a private University in Warsaw, Poland. I focus this Institute on Humanistic Management and Management Aesthetics - the fields that are not much explored in the scientific discourse yet.
Because I want to do this job properly and adequately to the potential of these fields, I am looking for Associate Researchers who want to work together with us (me and my full-time team of 12 researchers) on scientific projects and publications.
If you are interested, please write to me here via ResearchGate or email at michal.szostak@civitas.edu.pl
Kind Regards
Michał Szostak
The term ‘aesthetics’ derives from the ancient Greek word aisthesis, which is translated as ‘perception’ or ‘sensation’. But what does aesthetics mean today? And what is the difference between aesthetics and philosophy of art?
Is it possible to describe the foundations of aesthetic criticism of plastic works of art?
Does the use of colorization techniques in old movies increase or decrease their aesthetic value?
Literature ideas on:
- Lyrical advocacy
- Aesthetics and performance
- Historical differences
- Legacy
All ideas/suggestions/contributions are welcome.
Thanks.
I am looking for researchers dealing with Management Aesthetics, Art Management, or Management Art. Fields of interest: publications and projects.
How the aesthetic experience in digital painting through art criticism will influence the creative skills of visual art students?
Greetings of peace!
My study is about the effect of servicescape on the quality perception and behavioral intentions
independent Variable-Under servicescape there are 4 indicators
Layout Accessibility - 10 items
Ambience condition- 3 items
Facility Aesthetics - 6 items
Facility cleanliness -4 items
Quality perception serve as mediator with 3 items
Dependent Variable-Behavioral intentions - 4 items
All were measured using Likert Scale (N = 400)
I tried Ordinal Regression Analysis but I don't know how to combine the items and the independent is ordinal. And the value of Pearson is <0.001 and the Deviance is 1.000.
I need to get the effect of individual indicators in servicescape on the quality perception and behavioral intentions.
Thank you in advance
The aesthetic experience of digital painting can have a significant impact on visual art students' creative abilities when analyzed through art criticism.
do you know any instrument or questionnaire?
Dear colleague,
I’m pleased to announce the 1st Regenerative Plastic Surgery International Conference to be held in Rome on December 1-2, 2023, in cooperation with the 3rd AIRMESS Conference. The location will be the beautiful Piazza di Spagna at the Congress Center sited in Via Alibert 5 at the corner of Via Margutta, one of the most famous and artistic streets of Rome.
The congress is dedicated to Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgeons, Regenerative Plastic Surgeons, Experts in Regenerative Medicine, Dermatologists, and Aesthetic Physicians.
This international conference aims to compare the results obtained from regenerative plastic surgery with those obtained by reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery in several fields as breast augmentation and reconstruction, face rejuvenation, hair re-growth, nose contouring, and many others.
The scientific committee is composed of international and famous speakers in these fields.
I dedicated my life to improving the scientific and clinical outcomes of regenerative plastic surgery and, for this reason, I would like to see in this meeting which is the current state of the art of both plastic reconstructive aesthetic surgery and regenerative plastic surgery.
I invite you to enjoy this unique event in the historic center of Rome.
At the same time, I would like to ask you if it is possible to think of a future based only on autologous and/or allogeneic cells/tissue transplants for damaged organs and tissues. What is your opinion?
Best
Prof. Pietro Gentile
Conference President

I would like to have some recent (since 2018) academic sources that illustrate the theory of Aesthetics and how different societies have different perceptions of it. I am looking for Eastern and Western thoughts on it.
I am looking for the sociological reasons behind the new wine architecture. Like the aesthetics and grandiosity of the consuming spaces in wine.
Thank you.
Emotional logic and aesthetics have underlying values that force taste judgements and preferences. It is true that every culture has its own aesthetics. Nevertheless, there are also differences in the cultures that are based on underlying emotions.
Between the pillars of openness and control and adventure move the emotion systems: stimulus, dominance and balance.
Which artworks would fit best into which pillars and emotion systems and what values lie behind them?
One question that comes to mind is this: How do momentary moods (also emotions) change the allocation? Does this have a serious effect? Will the selection then be made via the value usually behind it or the temporary emotion?
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
================================================================
Emotionale Logik und Ästhetik hat dahinterliegende Werte die Geschmacksurteile und Vorlieben forcieren. Zwar hat auch jede Kultur ihre eigene Ästhetik. Dennoch auch in den Kulturen gibt es Unterschiede die auf dahinterliegenden Emotionen beruhen.
Zwischen den Pfeilern Offenheit und Kontrolle und Abenteuer bewegen sich die Emotionssysteme: Stimulanz, Dominanz und Balance.
Welche Kunstwerke würden am besten in welche Pfeiler und Emotionssysteme passen und welche Werte liegen dahinter?
Eine Frage die ich mir aufdrängt ist jene: Wie verändern momentane Stimmungen (auch Emotionen) die Zuordnung? Wirkt sich das gravierend aus? Wird dann die Auswahl über den üblicherweise dahinterstehenden Wert erfolgen oder der temporären Emotion?
Irgendjemand eine Idee dazu?
Architecture design is a series of actions made to identify and formulate a solution to a particular problem using ideas, signs, symbols, images, blueprints, and other illustrative tools.
The goal of architectural design is to create things that are aesthetically pleasing, intellectually stimulating, and useful for people. As a result, the design must be as large as feasible to accommodate the limitations of the designer's human mind and to create order instead of chaos.
Architecture design: The issue has a number of dimensions. Rarely do we create something with a single, clear objective in mind. The designer considers the design's ability to carry out a necessary purpose, to have a beautiful shape, to have an acceptable cost, and to be produced with materials that are readily available while also considering its longevity and upkeep.
The aim of architectural design education is:
• Improve your capacity for organizing and relating details and forms in your environment.
• Increasing one's capacity for problem-solving practice and dealing with available options.
• Gaining decision-making skills, such as choosing the kinds of materials to use colors, textures, structural systems, etc.
• Gaining decision-making skills, such as choosing the kinds of materials to use colors, textures, structural systems, etc.
• Improving one's capacity for power observation.
Design steps:
Site analysis and site inventory
3. Creating the project schedule
4. Putting together the suggested development program
5. Creative conceptual work
6. Creation of designs
7. Completed style
We add three additional parts to these to put the design into practice, namely:
1. The period of gathering data regarding the materials utilized in the project 2. The phase of implementation (construction).
3. Post-occupancy assessment
Design phase
It must be remembered that every design has five components: a. function; b. structure; c. meaning. Meaning
Aesthetics
In regard to finances
and the Feeling
We frequently discover a significant connection between emotion and the message.
The latter components also elevate the structure to the level of architecture.
Is Nanoart collective or individual art?
Congratulations, Dear Friends.
We are conducting research in which we reflect on the authorship of scientific art, namely, the Nanoart genre. Nanoart is the presentation of microscopic images as a cultural and artistic product. Microscope images are usually black and white. They are often coloured to give the image more aesthetic. In our research, we aim to answer the question: Is Nanoart collective or individual art? Who is the author of such a picture: a nanotechnologist (who created the nanostructure) or an artist (who painted it)? The opinions of experts, participants, and just viewers are important to us.

Dear Coleagues. I'm in the process of writing a conceptual paper about how luxury brand-artist cooperations change aesthetic routines of stakeholders and what is the output of such changes. Here is one on the topics: limited explanation of the cooperation content promotes ignorancy.
The art-event makers: "the emblemating Kusama's polka dots". Consumers: "Awful", "designer went to kindergarten art class that day ..he came back happily with this bag". This is how the explanations of the art-project makers reduced to the signs provoke ignorant consumer valuations and turn Yayoi Kusama's art into decoration. And then scholars analyze the consumers' valuations as data in their studies. When you know "Narcissus Garden" you understand the diffenece between the sign (the dots) and the problem (anti-Narcisism) in Kusama's art. https://www.facebook.com/LouisVuitton/photos/a.341470190124/10167192333530125 Do you think that Social Practice Theory (E. Shove) is right to use in the conceptual paper about this? Any other methodological ideas? #luxury #brand #artist #art
Trying to mitigate early-age fractures in concrete buildings is crucial for ensuring adequate durability, minimising potential strength loss, and lowering maintenance costs. Because these cracks challenge the residential comfort and the aesthetic appearances of buildings.
So, what are the alternative measures adapted to mitigate arly-age cracks in the construction industry?

In the field of educational activities that deal with the intellectual beauty of the mind and inner values and truths, they have been far from accepting the philosophy of aesthetics. By changing the current attitude towards art and aesthetics as a scientific way of thinking and cultivating imagination and moral development, it is possible to examine how this point of view can be used in educational activities. Because the knowledge and understanding of aesthetics beyond experience and sense and familiarity with the spiritual beauty of the mind, thought and moral behavior can have successful and sustainable effects on educational and moral activities.

2. What are the norms? Any instances?
This is the PDF-Powerpoint I used for my online presentation at the Conference 'Current issues of social sciences and humanities', organised by the Department of Ethics and Aesthetics of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, on Friday, 29 April 2022. My principal aim in this analysis is to describe Sen’s meditation as a teaching against fatalism, indifference, resignation and inaction: Sen’s criticism of these attitudes aims to uncover the deep roots of these attitudes themselves, since these attitudes conceal precise responsibilities.
Sen fights both in economics and in ethics against every form of concealing, under the idea of the unavoidability of nature, failures due to human mistakes. Unavoidable destiny proves to be, actually, as not so unavoidable as someone would like to present it. For instance, Sen’s opinion that famines are not a natural, but a social phenomenon aims to uncover all the attempts to present famines as something unavoidable, in relation to which the only solution is resignation. Sen’s intention is clearly to say that famines have precise responsibilities, and that those who present famines as natural phenomenon want to conceal their own responsibilities for the insurgence of famines. Governments try to blame on nature the cause of catastrophes, whereas the causes of social catastrophes are to be connected to the inefficiency of governments.
In particular, Iwould like to concentrate my exposition on the following themes: •Sen’s criticism of the thesis of food shortages as the (only) cause of famines.
• Famines happening when there is no political will that want to fight against the factors bringing to the famines. Persons, and not nature, are responsible for the occurring of famines.
• Sen’s defense of democracy as a system which is compatible with economic growth against all those who considers democracy as an obstacle to economic growth.

The Mandelbrot set is related to the Feigenbaum cascades, which are found in lots of mathematical models of real-life phenomena. But does the Mandelbrot set have have any real-world use, either on its own or in connection with Feigenbaum cascades? Or is it purely aesthetic?
I am currently trying to include results of my ancestral state estimation on my phylogenetic tree with ggtree's geom_nodelab. However, when I execute my command I always get the error:
Error in `check_aesthetics()`:
! Aesthetics must be either length 1 or the same as the data (33): label
I see that it wants values for the tips as well (17 labels + 16 nodes). However, I just want the ancestral states on the internal nodes and do nothing to the labels. Has anyone an idea? I have been spending a lot of time on this seemingly easy problem and am at the end of my wits.
Reproducible example:
library(geiger)
library(phytools)
library(ggtree)
tree <- sim.bdtree(b = 0.1, d = 0, stop = "time", t = 20, seed = 12345)
cont.trait.mode <- data.frame(trait= runif(length(tree$tip.label)))
rownames(cont.trait.mode) <- tree$tip.label
anc_trait <- fastAnc(tree, cont.trait.mode$trait, CI= T)
anc_trait_df <- as.data.frame(anc_trait$ace)
ggtree(tree) + geom_nodelab(aes(subset=!isTip,label = anc_trait_df$`anc_trait$ace`))
Students should evaluate the aesthetics (e.g. "this room is beautiful") of a working space / room and what they think would be their performance (e.g. "I'm very productive in this room") in this room, based on a picture (which they see in a survey).
How to measure the subjective aesthetics and the subjective performance (of a Person) in it?
Which are the relevant and up to date publications and thoughts on the topic?
Best,

I think this is about applying various art forms in a constructivist way.
i want to reduce variable range to 20-30, is there a way to do so.
ggplot() + geom_point(data=test, aes(x=B2004007, y=B20040013, col=count) )
Can anyone indicate similar manipulation in any marketing journal.
Looking to do an experiment between two groups (Shopping alone Vs Shopping with others), to explore the difference between consumer evaluation of aesthetically high products.
Dear Colleagues
After publishing the co-authored paper about the purpose branding last year (attached), I'm working on the purpose luxury branding paper about luxury-art cooperation in radical changes in aesthetic practices now. My initial insight is that the incumbent luxury brand makes a radical change in the aesthetic practice when cooperating with an artist in a project that provides a new artifact = the asset for a new practice. Have you any suggestions on what could help?
What is the role of aesthetic taste in aesthetics of marketing, what do you think about the transformation of human aesthetic needs?
"Value education refers first of all to the individual process of forming, developing and acquiring values or value attitudes (...). In contrast to 'value mediation' and 'value education', value education emphasizes the active confrontation of the individual with the environment and its diverse, sometimes contradictory value offers, which usually takes place through the experience of values and their reflection." (cf. Mandl, Kopp, Hense und Niedermeier (2014, p.8, translated by the author)
The idea of the active value formation process suggests that self-activity of students is a central feature of both processes: the formation of values and the subsequent action.
The goals of value formation are value-oriented personality development, the confrontation with and recognition of basic values of democratic coexistence, and the successful handling of value diversity.
I see both aspects in Service Learning and in art education.
The focus of value formation is the examination of aesthetic objects and forms and relies on the self-activity and self-determination of the subject in a lifelong, never-ending process of reflection.
I see the difference in the orientation of the service learning project for the community and municipality and in the concrete implementation situation according to the need, whereby the main focus of aesthetic-artistic education aims at the experience of the individual person and implements and reflects his own perception of the world in his own practical implementation. Of course, there are intersections and commonalities, which art education through participatory and social project work shapes and reflects the common perception of the world and social processes.....
For this, I rely on the following variables in context/citations:
- Emotions:
Hans Joas' concept of "self-transcendence" reference, in which value formation is theoretically conceptualized as a deeply emotional and extraordinary experience (cf. Joas 1999).
The success of value formation depends on cognitive and affective-emotional aspects. (cf. Schubarth and Tegeler, 2016, 264).
Value development is only possible via emotional irritation, touching, shaking, and stabilization, experiencing and coping with dissonance in an emotional sense, i.e., doubts, contradictions, or confusion, in real-life challenges. Thus, they can only be interiorized, i.e., internalized, in a self-organized way via conscious and unconscious emotions. (Sauter, 2019)
- Body:
Argued from emotion and thus to bodily reaction, this aspect seems important to me.
Tension between, on the one hand, justified "questioning" and, on the other hand, the danger of uprooting traditions, culture and, above all, bodily experienceability, which Fuchs (2000) and Schmitz (2007) emphasize. (Rockenschaub, 51)
I would like to ask for opinions on the topic of value education, gladly also from a historical perspective, as well as on my remarks in the argumentation to consider value education as an aesthetic process.
Lange (2001) asks African designers to “embark on a quest to reflect... diversity,
to challenge modernist conventions and produce a graphic design that is essentially local in its components while also being internationally competitive” to change the esthetic standards defined based on Western culture and previously considered “aesthetic standard.
Ricoeur (2007: p. 52) invites to go back to our own origins to face the expansion of the universal culture. He declares to this effect that to confront a foreign culture, one must first have one’s own culture and identity.
Modern graphic designers must develop more designs that portray to their nation’s style and create stylish designs with new meaning. We have the responsibility and obligation to complete our country’s culture in the contemporary graphic design scene, and to promote it. This will bring a breakthrough in modern graphic design in the future. Today, national culture (and the elements it provides) is undoubtedly an important aspect of a nation’s development. In the context of design or art, its use allows development of national esthetic specificities; a cultural identity.
Post Bakhtin and Mary Russo, grotesque has developed in varied directions. Can you name some of the leading theorists in grotesque studies?
I am specifically interested in works of art for which ratings on multiple dimensions are readily available--for instance, ratings of beauty or of liking that were acquired from a sample of volunteers. Features of interest also include the actual features of the artworks themselves, like brightness, complexity, etc. I have been pointed towards several options:
- Prediction of beauty and liking ratings for abstract and representational paintings using subjective and objective measures (https://osf.io/2sy4f/)
- JenAesthetics (https://www.inf-cv.uni-jena.de/jenaesthetics.html)
- The Strohminger Grotesque Art Database (https://ninastrohminger.com/grotesque)
I wondered whether there might be others I am missing? Thanks, in advance, for any help anyone is able to provide!
Author expresses polite request to recommend a journal in Comparative Literature which accepts:
i. submissions discussing semi-forgotten poets of Russian fin-de-siecle i.i.submissions discussing a single cycle in enitre ouvre of such figure,
ii. submissions from seemingly unremarkable graduate students
iii. submissions analyzing literature from aesthetical standpoint, with minimal relevance to burning social issues and their solutions, however defined.
[Prehistory: I'm a promising, and so far not much more, graduate student, who managed to not publish anything so far. I have no regrets though, both because world needs more reading and less writing, and simply for looking at my old drafts.]
I'm finishing an article about Nikolay Gumilyov (Николай Гумилёв, Gumilyev, Gumil'ev) - who, surprisingly for several Scopus-listed journals, is not the same person as his son, Lev Gumilyov, and whom I find shockingly understudied and underappreciated. Never particularly popular in the West, today, with interests shifting... well, away from Russian aristocratic aesthetes, he seems to be almost forgotten. Similarly in Central Europe, or at least in Poland, where I come from: before perestroika Gumilyov was "unpublishable" in Soviet Union, so it was difficult to get acquainted with his poetry when knowledge of Russian was fairly widespread, and today hardly anyone knows the language or has much interest in such topics (understandably, yet sadly). In Russia, on the other hand, he has his place in the canon secured, but it comes with a price of being incorporated into the lore of state ideology.
Fortunately, here I am with my article on his Italian Poems. While I think the article is very decent, it's not the most en vogue topic. On top of that, nolens volens, I end up arguing with almost every critic I refer to. And still, I need to publish it to face my supervisor with my head high, and also because turning this great poet into a misspelled footnote to Akhmatova and Mandelsham, or a banner woven from misinterpretations, is un-for-giv-a-ble.
Which leads to my point, as I can no longer ignore the burning question where I'm planning to submit my untimely meditations, composed in English. To make things worse, while I do offer some original input, there is no grand synthesis, the thing is quite specific. Too specific for a generalist journal, I guess, but I could try something on Modernism, or Decadence, or correspondence of arts, or Italy/Italianism. I will be grateful for any suggestions, or at least warnings!
Lip to teeth relationship / Lower third of the face constitutes major part of facial thirds and second most attractive part of face after the eyes in the middle third. Do we have any google play store apps to apply this concept of diagnosing mini-aesthetic problems and providing patients with better aesthetic outcomes?
A photo of a person or thing clicked through a camera is absolutely perfect. Sketches or pictures drawn by an artist is artistically or aesthetically perfect. A mirror image is also perfect, but cannot be touched and also in different direction.
The question is, according to you, which one is more perfect?
And if you are to praise the creator (of the photograph, sketch, picture or mirror image), to whom will you give more credit?
Do we have standard Deep Neural Net architectures for changing aesthetics of images and videos ? Like making the color feel of the images and videos a little warm or a little cold.
Greetings,
I plan to use the NEO-PI3 to measure Opennes to experience, but I'm not sure if I can only use the scales of this trait while discarding the others, in order to shorten my full questionnaire...
Is it a psychometrically valid use of the tool?
It's important to me to get a round and detailed look of the concept of Openness to experience, including it's aspects, such as aesthetics and ideas. If I can't use the NEO for that, can I use another questionnaire?
Thanks
What are the main influencing factors for active frontages in high-density cities?
We know that urban design qualities of designing active frontages can be the following:
Physical Features
comfort and convenience,
safety and security,
accessibility and communications etc.
Aesthetic Features
order and unity,
colour,
texture and materials,
spatial hierarchy and sequence,
human scale and enclosure etc.
Can we add more features? Please suggest.

Psychosocial factors
Other.
If I don't have aesthetic concerns, I prefer glass ionomer (Equa forte). I use bulk-fill composite in deep cavities. So, you?
Some models like NIMA evaluate photos aesthetically, but I believe these evaluations are more based on the basics of photography, like photos being focused and so on. I need to analyze more sophisticated photos.
I am not from the field of experimental aesthetics. But my project is partially based on some theories from this field. While I reading the classic literature, I noticed that many well-known researchers in this field (e.g., Reber et al., 2004; Valentine, 2015) all mentioned that the concept of "beauty" is not directly measured, but instead approached by measures of liking, pleasure and preference.
Here comes the question: why the aestheticians and psychologists do not directly ask participants to judge/rate "beautifulness" of a target stimulus?
Your opinions and answers would be highly welcomed and appreciated.

Measuring and Mapping Urban Beauty
Academic research in ‘Landscape Aesthetics’ (Beauty) appears to dominated by Philosophy of Aesthetics (predominately non-spatial), Landscape Architecture (Site/design specific, or Recreational/Park landscape focussed), Landscape Management/Economics (Rural/Recreational/Infrastructural focussed) and Environmental Psycology.
I’m researching Urban Based, city wide Methodologies in the measuring and mapping of urban beauty.
Is aesthetics intrinsically linked with objects of art? Or maybe there is some hidden aesthetics in an object of art that people of a certain era do not perceive?
I’m trying to make a scatter graph with a line of best fit with the y axis as time taken and x as the memory score
Aesthetic teaching, which manifests itself in art and other subjects, increases the curiosity about beauty in nature and in humans. This sense of beauty is reflected in relevant activities and discussions centered on the subject of beauty, especially in art and creative work (Senemogl & Gency, 2001). Art is one of the variables that has been shown to have the greatest effect on beauty in awakening (Schirmacher, 1986). In the present study, the relationship between aesthetic teaching and attitude towards school was investigated. The results showed that the effect of aesthetic education and teaching on school attitude was significant. This finding is consistent with the results of many studies, some of which are mentioned below. The results of the study showed that teaching aesthetics in English language classes using paintings, pictures, stories, elements of popular culture (proverbs, sayings of elders) and its parallel application along with teaching helps to develop vocabulary and learn them better . They acknowledged that the results of this study could be used in English language teaching and learning classes; because teaching based on aesthetics improves the performance of learners. Dyganova & Karkina (2015) in a study aimed at teaching the aesthetics of music, found that the integration of words with music, as a means of teaching based on an individualistic approach, ensures the success of operations and learning. Innovative art courses by combining words in music as a means of teaching student-centered aesthetics will increase the efficiency of the learning process and will also allow higher education institutions to pursue beauty education as an integrated system.
Dear all members,
I am focusing on some developments in Aesthetic large area coatings for applications in fields of solar control, architectural, automotive, and window applications.
In general, the low emissivity coatings will consist of a metal layer (which is used to reduce the near and far IR radiation from Sun). So to do such high precise design coatings people, engineers, researchers use high and sophisticated coating equipment from PVD and CVD.
Apart from the Low emission of IR light, the other requirement is to develop high transmission. It can be possible by incorporating semiconductor Dielectric layers sandwiched between the silver or any metal layers.
To produce such high-end products from industries it has to pass several rigorous tests like wet abrasion, humidity, conductivity, optical and thermal performance, etc.
In these regards can anyone suggest which materials and how the design and devlopments of such products can overcome the problems of silver layer damaging during muffle condition, no proper adhesion of layers, etc.
Kindly guide and help in these issues in developing the large area aesthetic glass coatings.
A male patient came to our observation with the request of a improvement in his jaw-line projection. 6 years ago, he had the installation of 2 mandibular angle hydroxyapatite implants (quadrangular shape, no screw, just scheletrization of the region and implants dropping). During the visit he showed us a CBCT with the perfect ossification of both implants in the lower jaw.
Now the question: which could be the best approach in a possible prevision of a BSSO?
- Implants removal - waiting - then orthognathic surgery
- orthognathic surgery on implants
- nothing, the implants installation it's no compatible with OS
If I want to edit the graphs (aesthetic aspect) what software/website is your suggestion?
My research is looking at the influence of creative design and technical standards on the development of architecture during a period of history. This has relevance to the modern day in terms of a range of frameworks that currently govern us from health and safety to professional ethos.
What is a dialogue? What are its aesthetic and semantic approaches in the drawings of Pablo Picasso?
G cem an aesthetic resin cement is a valuable source of cementing extracororonal restoration, due to its strength I have used it for core build up in many cases the results were awsum, am I on a rite track??
Aesthetics as an adjective relates to the philosophy of aesthetics, concerned with notions such as the beautiful and the ugly.
