The current research includes four chapters , First chapter include a problem of the research which determined by [what is the isomorphism and its approximation in Islamic arts ornaments] , The second chapter includes three researches : concept of isomorphism , and references of ornamental shape , Aspects of decorative embellishment in Islamic art , as for the third chapter stated for search procedures , In light of it, the analysis was conducted in which the researcher relied on the system ,Descriptive and analytical in the process of analyzing models selected from the entire research community in accordance with the data of the content that embodies one of the sides of the concept of conformity. As for the fourth chapter, it included a number of results, including: It embodies their succession in works, formulation, performance, and type (gender) embodies a decorative composition that represents a situation Of the morphology, it led to the filling of meaning in the eyewitness through manipulation of the structural descriptions and the withdrawal of the decorative form in a way that achieves a dual function through naturalization (reading - decorative). The conclusions, including: that the ability and experience of the decorator have the most prominent role in choosing the optimal and appropriate methods of the appearance of the decorations, and they may be The adaptability and flexibility that characterize Islamic art decorations play a role in the ease of formation and combination, as these components demonstrate the artist’s ingenuity and skill in designing complex and interwoven shapes, which gives the artwork a high artistic value. The fourth chapter concluded with a proposal that could be a later study (representations of addition in the decorations of Islamic art).

This article examines the activities of the combines of the Leningrad branch of the USSR Art Fund in the mid- to late-1950s. During this period, the Leningrad branch of the USSR Art Fund comprised two combines with responsibilities related to the art industry: the Painting and Sculpture Combine and the Art and Design Combine. The materials preserved in the Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St Petersburg facilitate an understanding of the primary avenues through which the Art Fund influenced the formation of the living environment of Soviet citizens during the period under review. The shift from the period of late Stalinism to the Thaw era was accompanied by substantial alterations in the visual representation and structural configuration of this environment. The analysis of the activities of the combines permits a more precise understanding of the way these images were embodied, implemented, and disseminated at the level of specific production practices. The difficulties faced by the combines were a significant factor in adjusting the ideological framework in which their activities were to be based. The most important problem was the problem of unsatisfactory material and technical base, lack of modern equipment and trained personnel. Despite the government’s stated commitment to the role of decorative, applied, and industrial arts in shaping the living environment of Soviet citizens, the implementation of this policy was hindered by a lack of adequate funding. In many ways, the range of products was formed spontaneously. The artists themselves played a significant role in shaping it. Changes in the subjects and images of the products produced by the combines during the period of the early Thaw make it possible to trace exactly how the formation of the so-called Leningrad style took place. A significant factor here was the postponed celebration of the 250th anniversary of Leningrad, which also became one of the markers of the onset of a new political era. It seems that all the above-mentioned circumstances associated with the actual practices of producing elements of the living environment of a Soviet person should be considered when analysing the general plan of chamber propaganda of the era.

Diffusion models are currently the leading generative AI approach used for image generation in e.g. DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. In this talk we relate diffusion models to stochastic quantisation in field theory and employ it to generate configurations for scalar fields on a two-dimensional lattice. We end with some speculations on possible applications.

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the new humanistic-anthropocosmic paradigm as a framework for transforming urban slum settlements in Indonesia amidst climate change and within a multidimensional living context. The paper elaborates on the ideas of Father Mangunwijaya and draws inspiration from the encyclical Laudato Si. The methodology employed involves a literature review and reflection on the paradigm of transforming slum settlements that have been implemented in several cities in Indonesia.Findings suggest that the Humanistic-Anthropocosmic paradigm, a fusion of Father Mangunwijaya's ideas and inspiration from the encyclical Laudato Si, holds the potential to facilitate sustainable and environmentally friendly transformation of urban slum settlements, considering social, economic, and environmental aspects. This article contributes to the development of a paradigm for transforming urban slum settlements rooted in humanistic architecture, education for liberation, ecological spirituality, integral ecology, and anthropocosmism.

The Laho'an tribe is one of the sub-tribes in Belu Regency. The cultural landscape of the Laho'an Tribe was formed as a result of the interaction between the Laho'an Tribe community and their environment. The problem that occurs in this tribe is the degradation of landscapes and cultures. The cause of these changes is the influence of modernity and the lack of awareness among the people of the Lahoan tribe about the importance of culture, ancestral heritage, and existing landscapes. The purpose of this study is to identify the cultural landscape of the Laho'an Tribe in relation to its architecture and landscape. Landscape identification refers to eight variables. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with purposive sampling samples, where the respondents have certain criteria. Based on the results of cultural landscape identification, the Laho'an Tribe has its own characteristics related to tradition, culture, settlement, and landscape order. The Laho'an people believe in a dynamic system. Their traditions are divided into two categories: rituals related to the life cycle and rituals related to landscapes. The Laho'an tribe responds to the environment by utilizing natural products to meet the needs of life. These natural products can be used to make handicrafts, medicines, foodstuffs, building materials, and in traditional rituals. The settlement of the Laho'an Tribe community is linear in shape, which generally extends and is lined up on the side according to the direction of the road. The orientation of Laho'an settlement houses is related to the concept of orientation, which considers that the best direction of the house is to face east and west. Circulation in the area is in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary circulation. Architecturally, Laho'an traditional house buildings are divided into typologies, forms, and functions. Judging from the typology of shapes, traditional houses are in theform of stilt houses with pole construction in the form of magnificent poles, support poles, and upside-down boat-shaped roofs. From the typology of the function of traditional houses, it can be seen from the spatial pattern, which is divided into two, namely vertical and horizontal. Vertically in the form of the house, the middle room, and the upper room. Horizontally in the form of a vestibule, a middle room, and a back room

Situated at the crossroads of the history of exhibitions and the history of cinema, this article interrogates the way in which the latter was developed (analysis of writing modalities) and transmitted (study of scenographic displays) within the framework of three major exhibitions devoted to a general history of cinema which took place in Switzerland: Der Film gestern und heute (Museum of Arts and Crafts, 1943), Der Film. Geschichte, Technik, Gestaltungsmittel, Bedeutung (Museum of Decorative Arts, Zurich, 1960) and Images du cinéma (Museum of Decorative Arts, Lausanne, 1973). Though between the 1920s and the first successes of a ‘new Swiss cinema’ in the early 1970s it was repeatedly claimed that Swiss cinema does not exist, which is to say that no fiction film of great value had been produced in the country, the three events all integrated Swiss films and displays into their programming. They contributed, then, each in its own way, to the writing of a pluralistic history of this cinematography, progressively stretching the usual boundaries of the concept of a ‘national cinema’. They also contributed to the slow legitimization and heritagization of Swiss cinema. This article, based on an analysis of unpublished archives, casts light for the first time on these three historically significant events.

Signatures of coupling between an inertial mode in the convective core and a gravito-inertial mode in the envelope have been found in four-year Kepler light curves of 16 rapidly rotating $γ\,$Doradus ($γ\,$Dor) stars. This makes it possible to obtain a measurement of the rotation frequency in their convective core. Despite their similar internal structure and available data, inertial modes have not yet been reported for slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars. We aim to provide a numerical counterpart of the recently published theoretical expressions for the mode-coupling coefficients, $\varepsilon$ and $\tilde{\varepsilon}$. These coefficients represent the two cases of a continuous and a discontinuous Brunt-Väisälä frequency profile at the core-envelope interface, respectively. We used asteroseismic forward models of two samples consisting of 26 SPB stars and 37 $γ\,$Dor stars to infer their numerical values of $\varepsilon$. The asteroseismically inferred values of $\varepsilon$ for the two samples are between 0.0 and 0.34. While $\varepsilon$ is most strongly correlated with the near-core rotation frequency for $γ\,$Dor stars, the fractional radius of the convective core instead provides the tightest correlation for SPB stars. We find $\varepsilon$ to decrease mildly as the stars evolve. Our asteroseismic results for the mode coupling support the theoretical interpretation and reveal that young, fast-rotating $γ\,$Dor stars are most suitable for undergoing couplings between inertial modes in the rotating convective core and gravito-inertial modes in the radiative envelope. The phenomenon has been found in 2.4\% of such pulsators with detected period spacing patterns, whereas it has not been seen in any of the SPB stars so far.

Feedback beyond the grade is an important part of the learning process. However, because of the large student groups, many teachers in higher education are faced with practicalities such as the limited time to prepare and communicate the feedback to individual students. We have set up an experiment, titled Pro-f-quiz, in which over two years 236 students participated and in which the feedback is communicated through an online quiz that activates the students to reflect upon their solution. The system can be set up in a very limited time compared to booking individual time slots. The results show that approximately 85% of the students appreciate the approach with 60% indicating that they reflect more intensively about their work than when the feedback is transmitted traditionally. Moreover, the grade of the students participating in the project was substantially higher than students not participating.

The starting point for the article are unique fabrics that expose the broadly understood spiritual element in art. All of them were made as diploma works completing the education process on the “artistic textile” specialisation at the Cyprian Kamil Norwid State Secondary School of Fine Arts in Lublin. The aim of the text is not to collect them in the form of a catalogue but, based on eleven selected examples, to indicate the artistic paths followed by young people, discovering various ways of depicting spirituality. Even a cursory review of the research material reveals a multitude of solutions, among which there are two dominant strategies. One draws inspiration from the Christian iconosphere, from specific works, from art produced in specific years and in the style typical for them. The other is looking for an alternative language of artistic expression, sometimes closer to abstraction than to mimetic representations. Both do not shy away from material and technological experiments. Next to fabrics understood as textile products, obtained in the process of weaving with various techniques, there are projects closer to soft sculpture, installations. The latter part of the article discusses the past significance of decorative fabrics in the interior design of churches and their role in the liturgy of the Western Church. In their context, an attempt is made to indicate the reasons for the contemporary elimination of this artistic field from the sacred interior and for the depreciation of this discipline of art, the status of which is closer to a craft than to the so-called pure arts. In the 1970s, the Church in Poland was one of the patrons of artistic textiles: in the form of purchases and commissions as well as organising large exhibitions presenting the art of fabric. The paper is concluded with reflections on whether a change in this field is possible, because this unique art has a huge ideological potential: it is a carrier of meanings no worse than other art disciplines.

The article reveals the educational and creative potential of folk arts and crafts as an effective means of fostering artistic culture and aesthetic education of the younger generation. It is noted that within the educational process, as a result of expanding possibilities for self-determination in choosing forms, types and genres of visual art activities, students consider various areas of folk art. At the same time, mastering of folk decorative art at the fine arts lessons takes place mainly in the context of the formation of the cognitive interests of schoolchildren. Moreover, the significance of the orientation of pedagogical thought on a comprehensive analysis of solutions to the issue of integrating the practical mastering of folk arts and crafts in the fine arts lessons with the traditions of masters of the past is revealed. With the development of the applied language of fine arts, its rich cultural, pedagogical and artistic potential, enclosed in the traditions of the masters of the past, is relegated to the background. Therefore, despite the recognition of the educational and developmental possibilities of folk arts and crafts in art and aesthetic education and upbringing of schoolchildren, there is still no clear, well-established understanding of the optimal forms of its implementation in art education.

Evidence on the role of the arts in promoting health and wellbeing has grown over the last two decades. In the United Kingdom, studies using secondary data sources have documented temporal variations in levels of arts engagement in the population, its determinants and its mental wellbeing implications. However, arts engagement is often characterized by prioritizing “high-brow” art forms. In this article, we introduce the HEartS Survey, a tool that aims to increase the balance between inclusivity and brevity of existing arts engagement measures and to focus specifically on the connection between arts engagement and social wellbeing. We explore trends in participatory and receptive engagement with literary, visual, performing, crafts and decorative arts among 5,338 adults in the UK in 2018–2019 using summative engagement scores and cluster analysis. Regression models, adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, health, and social covariates, examine correlations between arts engagement and psychological and social wellbeing measures. Over 97% of respondents reported engagement in one or more arts activities at least once during 2018–2019, with reading and listening to music being the most popular activities. Arts engagement grouped into three distinct clusters: 19.8% constituted “low engagers” whose main source of engagement was occasional reading; 44.4% constituted “receptive consumers” who read and listened to music frequently and engaged with popular receptive arts activities such as cinema, live music, theater, exhibitions, and museums; and 35.8% constituted “omnivores” who frequently engaged in almost all arts activities. In agreement with existing studies, more arts engagement was associated with higher levels of wellbeing, social connectedness, and lower odds of intense social loneliness. In contrast, we found a positive association between more arts engagement, depression, and intense emotional loneliness for the most highly engaged omnivores. We conclude that arts engagement in the population forms specific profiles with distinct characteristics and consider implications for mental and social wellbeing.

In the Baliem Valley, Papua, the tradition of tribal wars in the culture of the Hubula tribe in the past is related to the concept of siteselection, spatial planning,and building form in the Silimo settlement. The problem in this study is how the selection of location, spatial planning, building form, and territoriality becomethe concept of security in a traditional settlement. The purpose of the study was to determine the security conceptin traditional Silimo settlements, consistingofsite selection, spatial planning, building form,and territoriality based on security theory in settlements.In answering the problem of this research, the researchers use qualitative research methods. The researchers also use a phenomenological approach to explain or reveal the meaning of concepts or phenomena of experience based on the awareness that occurs in several individuals related to security in the Silimo settlement. The theories used in this research are the security theory in crime prevention and the theory of defensible space. The result of this research is that security theory can explainthat the selection of location, spatial planning, and building form in the Silimo settlement of the Hubula Tribe in the Baliem Jayawijaya Valleywas built based on the traditional conception of security. The concept of security in the Silimo settlement can be realized by: 1) The concept of territory as a defense space and territory as a territory of power; 2) The concept of space as a personal space and a public space: 3) The concept of Kinship, confederation, norms, customary rituals, which become the Patterns and Concepts of Space and Building Forms and Constructions are forms of Social Relations, Natural Relations and Ancestral Relations, to actualize a security system in Silimo settlement

L’articolo si propone, attraverso lo studio delle fonti e la loro contestualizzazione con il panorama della letteratura artistica dell’epoca, di presentare la figura di Emily Nevill Jackson, studiosa inglese di Arti Decorative attiva a Londra tra la fine del XIX e il primo trentennio del XX secolo. La Jackson può essere inquadrata tra le numerose studiose che in quel periodo pubblicarono sui principali periodici di settore, contribuendo a fornire una rappresentazione esaustiva della realtà internazionale legata al settore specifico delle Arti Decorative, sull’onda dell’influenza del pensiero di Ruskin e Morris. La Jackson, in particolare, nella parte finale della sua carriera compì un viaggio in Sicilia, del quale pubblicò un dettagliato resoconto nel volume A student in Sicily del 1926, che rappresenta la prima vera e propria ricognizione generale delle Arti Decorative siciliane, descrivendo dettagliatamente opere, tipologie, materiali, tecniche e collezioni con una meticolosità e una precisione che troveranno riscontro e piena formulazione scientifica soltanto negli studi successivi. Through the study of sources and their contextualisation with the panorama of artistic literature of the time, the article aims to present the figure of Emily Nevill Jackson, an English scholar of the Decorative Arts active in London between the end of the 19th century and the first thirty years of the 20th century. Jackson can be counted among the many women scholars who published in the main periodicals of the sector during that period, contributing to a comprehensive representation of the international reality related to the specific sector of Decorative Arts, in the wake of the influence of Ruskin and Morris' thought. Jackson, in particular, in the final part of her career made a trip to Sicily, of which she published a detailed account in the volume A student in Sicily of 1926, which represents the first real general survey of Sicilian Decorative Arts, describing in detail works, typologies, materials, techniques and collections with a meticulousness and precision that would only be fully and scientifically formulated in later studies.

The aim of the study is to document a new predictor of knowledge hiding from the perspective of Art design trainers and Art design trainees in virtual training’s and this study tends to add new theoretical insights into the body of literature. For this purpose, this study approached a sample of 500 respondents under a cross-sectional research design and respondents who have participated in virtual trainings or their trainings were at the final stage were recruited through the snowball sampling technique. The useable responses remained at 406 and these have been analyzed through SPSS for demographic analysis and Smart-PLS has been used to test the structural model, while a process macro has been used to test the moderation. Results indicate that cognitive loading has the potency to reduce the knowledge hiding behavior of the trainees. Similarly, it has been observed that cognitive loading increases the cognitive engagement of the trainees, and it moreover reduces the knowledge hiding tendency of trainees. In case of mediation, a partial mediation has been documented through the variance accounted for (VAF) approach while testing moderation. The role of supervisor support has not been found to be statistically significant.

The article examines the cultural approaches to the study of arts and crafts that exist in world science. Based on the analysis of foreign studies, it was revealed that it is especially promising and relevant to study the possibilities of selling works of decorative and applied art as a commodity. This approach reveals the problem of transforming works of decorative and applied art into souvenir products. In this case, the question of the dialectical relationship between form and content, between the preservation of traditions and the use of new opportunities in the creation of works of decorative and applied art, becomes important.

Within the framework of the Lindblad master equation, we propose a general methodology to describe the effects of the environment on a system in dilute gas phase. The phenomenological parameters characterizing the transitions between rovibrational states of the system induced by collisions can be extracted from experimental transition kinetic constants, relying on Energy Gap fitting laws. As the availability of this kind of experimental data can be limited, the present work relied on experimental line broadening coefficients, however still using Energy Gap fitting laws. The 3 $μ$m infrared spectral range of acetylene was chosen to illustrate the proposed approach. The method shows fair agreement with available experimental data while being computationally inexpensive. The results are discussed in the context of state laser quantum control.
