Within this repertoire, the relationship between the cognitive value of human vision and the wide application range of computer vision (CV) technologies opens a sizeable space for exploring the problematic sociopolitical aspects of automated inference and decision-making in modern AI. In this paper, I examine the art practices critically engaged with the notions and protocols of CV. After identifying and contextualizing the CV-related tactical AI art, I discuss the features of exemplar artworks in four interrelated subject areas. Their topical imbrications, common critical points, and shared pitfalls plot a wider landscape of tactical AI art, allowing me to detect factors that affect its poetic cogency, social responsibility, and political impact, some of which exist in the theoretical premises of digital art activism.

Timely and appropriate intervention is critical to successful outcomes, making the awareness and performance of first-line responders—particularly physical education graduates—an essential focus. This study evaluates their knowledge and practices regarding emergency management of dental trauma. Materials and methods This cross-sectional descriptive study assessed 206 physical education graduates in Isfahan between 2024 and 2025. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire comprising 12 targeted items, validated with a content validity ratio (CVR \u003e 0.51) and confirmed reliability (ICC = 0.884). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (Version 26), including descriptive measures (mean, standard deviation, frequency) and inferential tests (independent t-tests, ANOVA). Results Participants demonstrated moderate proficiency in dental trauma awareness and self-reported practical knowledge, with an overall mean score of 9.74 ± 4.80 (scale: 0–20). Awareness and performance scores were closely aligned (9.08 ± 4.99 and 9.07 ± 5.39, respectively). Significant predictors of higher competency included academic achievement (P = 0.023), direct exposure to dental trauma (P = 0.001), engagement in high-contact sports such as martial arts (P = 0.016), and formal training in trauma management (P = 0.012). Conversely, gender, general athletic history, and school-level sports involvement were not statistically associated with performance outcomes. Conclusion Most PE graduates demonstrated limited preparedness for managing dental trauma. Academic progression, trauma exposure, and targeted training were associated with better awareness and applied knowledge. These findings support the integration of oral emergency response modules into sports education curricula and certification programs—promoting health literacy and alignment with WHO health promotion objectives.","source":"DOAJ","year":2025,"language":"","subjects":["Dentistry"],"doi":"10.1186/s12903-025-06806-5","url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s12903-025-06806-5","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":69},{"id":"arxiv_2511.10482","title":"Proceedings of The third international workshop on eXplainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts)","authors":[{"name":"Corey Ford"},{"name":"Elizabeth Wilson"},{"name":"Shuoyang Zheng"},{"name":"Gabriel Vigliensoni"},{"name":"Jeba Rezwana"},{"name":"Lanxi Xiao"},{"name":"Michael Clemens"},{"name":"Makayla Lewis"},{"name":"Drew Hemment"},{"name":"Alan Chamberlain"},{"name":"Helen Kennedy"},{"name":"Nick Bryan-Kinns"}],"abstract":"This third international workshop on explainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts) brought together a community of researchers in HCI, Interaction Design, AI, explainable AI (XAI), and digital arts to explore the role of XAI for the Arts.

Elle est à l’origine de la fermeture de plusieurs milliers d’établissements scolaires et du déplacement des élèves de leurs lieux habituels d’habitation vers des zones relativement mieux sécurisées. Dans ces zones d’accueil, leurs besoins éducatifs ne sont pas couverts, ce qui compromet leurs possibilités de poursuite des études. Pour accompagner l’État burkinabè dans la prise en charge de ces besoins d’urgence, des acteurs non étatiques mettent en œuvre des actions en faveur de la scolarisation des EDI. Dans le cadre d’une recherche sur les mécanismes de scolarisation de ces élèves, des enquêtes ont été réalisées dans les villes de Kaya et de Fada N’Gourma. Les résultats révèlent une multiplicité et une diversité de ces acteurs. Certains ont l’expérience de l’intervention dans le secteur humanitaire ou de l’éducation, d’autres en ont dans les deux, tandis qu’il existe des acteurs qui n’ont l’expérience dans aucun de ces domaines.

These image features lack sufficient spatial information about the human body and contain various noises (e.g., background, lighting, and clothing), which often results in inaccurate pose and inconsistent motion. Inspired by the rapid advance in human pose estimation, we discover that compared to image features, skeletons inherently contain accurate human pose and motion. Therefore, we propose a novel semiAnalytical Regressor using disenTangled Skeletal representations for human mesh recovery from videos, called ARTS. Specifically, a skeleton estimation and disentanglement module is proposed to estimate the 3D skeletons from a video and decouple them into disentangled skeletal representations (i.e., joint position, bone length, and human motion). Then, to fully utilize these representations, we introduce a semi-analytical regressor to estimate the parameters of the human mesh model. The regressor consists of three modules: Temporal Inverse Kinematics (TIK), Bone-guided Shape Fitting (BSF), and Motion-Centric Refinement (MCR). TIK utilizes joint position to estimate initial pose parameters and BSF leverages bone length to regress bone-aligned shape parameters. Finally, MCR combines human motion representation with image features to refine the initial human model parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our ARTS surpasses existing state-of-the-art video-based methods in both per-frame accuracy and temporal consistency on popular benchmarks: 3DPW, MPI-INF-3DHP, and Human3.6M.

Further, studies have investigated the associated risk for incident depression, but not for persistent depression. The objective of the current prospective study was to assess associations of engagement in arts and culture activities with incident/persistent depression and also mental wellbeing among Danish adults in the general population. DESIGN Observational prospective study. METHODS Data stem from a Danish nationally representative panel study of 5000 adults (aged 15+ years) conducted in 2019 and 2020, which was linked to Danish register data. An exposure variable was constructed for frequency of attending concerts, theatres, museums, and cinemas. Validated scales were used to assess the presence of depression (PHQ-8) and levels of mental wellbeing (SWEMWBS). Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the risk of incident depression (among participants free of depression at baseline), as well as the risk of persistent depression (among participants with depression at baseline), while multinomial logistic regression was used to assess odds for moderate and high mental wellbeing (low as base outcome) while adjusting for baseline values. RESULT In terms of incident depression, quarterly engagement in arts and culture activities (compared to never) was associated with an OR of .43 (95%CI .23-.80), while 8 times or more was associated with an OR of .53 (.29-.97). In terms of persistent depression, quarterly engagement was associated with an OR of .30 (.10-.90), while 8 times per year or more was associated with an OR of .26 (.07-.92). Similar to the patterns for incident/persistent depression, associations with moderate mental wellbeing showed higher odds for quarterly engagement and 8 times per year or more. Quarterly engagement was also associated with higher odds for high mental wellbeing but did not reach statistical significance.

However, large scale, quantitative, epidemiological studies of the “arts–healthy aging” relationship, or the types of arts older adults voluntarily choose to engage in as part of their everyday life, for enjoyment, entertainment or as a hobby (vs. therapy or interventions) are limited. The aims of this study were to describe older adult recreational arts engagement via the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study (BHAS) cohort, and to determine if there was an association between arts engagement, general health and mental wellbeing. Methods Overall, 2,843 older adults (born 1946–1964) from the BHAS cohort (n = 5,107) who had completed a supplementary arts survey (n = 3,055, 60%) and had data on required variables were included in this study (93% of those eligible). The dependent variable was general health (SF12) and subjective mental wellbeing (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, WEMWBS). The independent variable was hours engaged in recreational arts in the last 12 months. A descriptive analysis followed by a linear regression analysis was conducted. Results The prevalence of recreational arts engagement in the last 12 months was 85% (mean = 132 h/year). Older adults engaged in the arts in a number of ways including attending events (79%), actively participating/making art (40%), as an arts society/club/organization member (20%), by learning about the arts (13%) or by volunteering/working in the arts (non-professional, 11%). When general health was assessed via the SF12, the average physical component score (PCS) was 50.1 (SD 8.9) and the average mental component score (MCS) was 53.6 (SD 8.3). When mental wellbeing was assessed, the average WEMWBS score was 54.9 (SD = 8.6). After adjustment for 12 demographic and lifestyle covariates, it was found that older adults who engaged in any recreational arts in the last 12 months had significantly higher WEMWBS scores and higher SF12 physical component scores than those who did not engage in the arts (0 h/year). Discussion Evidence of an arts-health relationship was found in this study. The suitability of the arts as a population based, healthy aging strategy to influence the mental wellbeing and general health of older adults should be investigated further.","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2023,"language":"en","subjects":["Medicine"],"doi":"10.3389/fpubh.2023.1288760","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/fa2828b8f7fdf9aecb87ce926bf2231b61b0fce9","pdf_url":"https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1288760/pdf?isPublishedV2=False","is_open_access":true,"citations":8,"published_at":"","score":67.24000000000001},{"id":"ss_66d38231789ca2b70488397fe97601c5352b6476","title":"The use of social media art challenges to encourage arts engagement for mental wellbeing in the general population","authors":[{"name":"M.

The subjective measurement outcomes indicated that participants’ vocal and breathing health was good, their conditions improved, voices warmed rapidly, felt comfortable in high notes, physical and mental bonding grew gradually, and their confidence increased. In addition, participants’ motivation and professional goals improved, such as delivering performances and adding new pieces to their repertoire. Because of the athletic achievements obtained using the selected tonal vocal exercises as a vocal training method in the study, it is believed that it will help to eliminate existing negative thoughts about the use of (Western) vocal exercises that are methodologically supported by scientific data and will contribute to the present literature for vocal studies.","source":"DOAJ","year":2023,"language":"","subjects":["Musical instruction and study","Arts in general"],"doi":"10.26650/CONS2023-1365545","url":"https://cdn.istanbul.edu.tr/file/JTA6CLJ8T5/D9FA42BF2A594BDD8954F3DCCE956E88","pdf_url":"https://cdn.istanbul.edu.tr/file/JTA6CLJ8T5/D9FA42BF2A594BDD8954F3DCCE956E88","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":67},{"id":"doaj_10.37558/gec.v24i1.1198","title":"The showcase of salt rocks from Cardona in the Barcelona Natural Sciences Museum: conservation and adaptation for passive climate control","authors":[{"name":"Marta Pérez Azcárate"},{"name":"Susana Duque Valero"},{"name":"Joan Ramon Aromi Folch"},{"name":"Marc Campeny Creco"}],"abstract":"\nThe results of the conservation work carried out on an exhibition set-up dating from the early twentieth century are presented. The exhibition set-up consists of a wooden showcase containing about twenty evaporite rocks from the collection of the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona (Spain). The work involved the remedial conservation of the rock specimens and showcase, and the improvement of the original environmental control system using sustainability criteria. An interdisciplinary team worked on the different phases of the project, which included prior historical and environmental studies. The remedial conservation of all elements in the collection has improved its accessibility and the monitoring of the environmental conditions of the new installation has confirmed the efficiency of the proposed passive environmental control system.\n","source":"DOAJ","year":2023,"language":"","subjects":["Fine Arts","Arts in general"],"doi":"10.37558/gec.v24i1.1198","url":"https://www.ge-iic.com/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/1198","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":67},{"id":"arxiv_2305.01603","title":"Post-Newtonian Generation of Gravitational Waves in a Theory of Gravity with Torsion","authors":[{"name":"M.

There is a substantial body of research on how to design and evaluate interactive arts and digital creativity applications. There is also extensive Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature on how to evaluate user interfaces and user experiences. However, it can be difficult for artists, practitioners, and researchers to navigate such a broad and disparate collection of materials when considering how to evaluate technology they create that is at the intersection of art and interaction. This chapter provides a guide to designing robust user studies of creative applications at the intersection of art, technology and interaction, which we refer to as Media and Arts Technology (MAT). We break MAT studies down into two main kinds: proof-of-concept and comparative studies. As MAT studies are exploratory in nature, their evaluation requires the collection and analysis of both qualitative data such as free text questionnaire responses, interviews, and observations, and also quantitative data such as questionnaires, number of interactions, and length of time spent interacting. This chapter draws on over 15 years of experience of designing and evaluating novel interactive systems to provide a concrete template on how to structure a study to evaluate MATs that is both rigorous and repeatable, and how to report study results that are publishable and accessible to a wide readership in art and science communities alike.","source":"arXiv","year":2023,"language":"en","subjects":["cs.HC"],"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.07490","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.07490","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2023-11-13T17:28:01Z","score":67}],"total":1467249,"page":1,"page_size":20,"sources":["DOAJ","CrossRef","arXiv","Semantic Scholar"],"query":"Arts in general"}
