Internal Contradictions of Wilde’s Aestheticism——On The Decay of Lying

The Decay of Lying,one of Wilde’s famous critic dialogues,is a demonstration of his aesthetic opinions,such as Art is telling lies,Life imitates art etc,which gives full expression of his pursue of art’s purity and independence.Wilde absolutely takes the side of art and is against the forced interference of art as the subject by politics,utilitarianism,morality and ethics,against the erosion of the artistic realm of beauty by over-realness,against taking the form of art as the accessory to certain content or subject.However,Wilde totally isolates art from reality by putting them in the position of dual antithesis,and this is the root of the internal contradictions in his Aestheticism.This essay aims to discuss the contradictions from four aspects:contradiction between art and real life,art and morality,art and truth and then contradiction between art’s form and content,so as to get a better understanding and correct evaluation of Wilde and his aestheticism.

A Study on the Conflict Between Aestheticism and Morality in Oscar Wil de’s Salome

As the only tragedy written by Oscar Wilde,Salome enjoys a unique status among all the works of Wilde.It is the representative work of aestheticism and has faced as many controversies as its author since the day it came out.Through the careful analysis of the conflict revealed both inside the play and outside the play,and based on Aristotle’s tragedy theory to interpret the causes of these conflicts,it can be concluded that the design of the conflict in Salome is in accordance with the tragedy theory.Furthermore,interpreting Salome from the perspective of Aristotle’s theory has attached this play with more intricate meaning and different understanding.

Aestheticism and Morality in The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy of manners set in the Victorian age. During this period, the rapid develop-ment of science and technology made people ignore the spiritual pursuit and leads to a society full of hypocrisy.

Cross-Modal Consistency with Aesthetic Similarity for Multimodal False Information Detection

With the explosive growth of false information on social media platforms, the automatic detection of multimodalfalse information has received increasing attention. Recent research has significantly contributed to multimodalinformation exchange and fusion, with many methods attempting to integrate unimodal features to generatemultimodal news representations. However, they still need to fully explore the hierarchical and complex semanticcorrelations between different modal contents, severely limiting their performance detecting multimodal falseinformation. This work proposes a two-stage detection framework for multimodal false information detection,called ASMFD, which is based on image aesthetic similarity to segment and explores the consistency andinconsistency features of images and texts. Specifically, we first use the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training(CLIP) model to learn the relationship between text and images through label awareness and train an imageaesthetic attribute scorer using an aesthetic attribute dataset. Then, we calculate the aesthetic similarity betweenthe image and related images and use this similarity as a threshold to divide the multimodal correlation matrixinto consistency and inconsistencymatrices. Finally, the fusionmodule is designed to identify essential features fordetectingmultimodal false information. In extensive experiments on four datasets, the performance of the ASMFDis superior to state-of-the-art baseline methods.

Fat management in upper blepharoplasty:Addition or subtraction blepharoplasties,how and when

BACKGROUND As one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures carried out today,blepharoplasty should be in the repertoire of every plastic surgeon.The term blepharoplasty encompasses a wide range of techniques and options that must be tailored to the specific defect and patient one has to treat.A sound knowledge of the upper and lower eyelids’anatomy is essential for proper surgical execution.Trends have shifted towards more conservative methods(especially of the fat compartment)and sometimes in combination with augmentation techniques,helping to reach a rejuvenated appearance.AIM To present an overview of the surgical techniques considered for upper lid blepharoplasty and fat pad management,in addition to information on how a surgeon may approach the best treatment for his patient based on current publications in literature.METHODS We searched the literature published between 2013,to 2023 using Medline and Reference Citation Analysis.The database was searched using the keywords“upper blepharoplasty”AND“fat”.Papers without full text/abstracts and reviews were excluded.The search strategy followed the PRISMA.The American Society of Plastic Surgeons guidelines for Therapeutic Studies checklist was used to assess all articles.Two authors individually reviewed each article and rated them for importance and relevance to the topic.A consensus was sought and the most relevant studies.RESULTS After the application of the selection criteria used in our review,13 publications were found to address upper lid blepharoplasty specifically.Three of these studies were reviews and three were retrospective studies.Five publications were comparative studies and a further two were clinical trials.CONCLUSION The tendency of modern surgery is to be conservative,by removing adipose tissue only if strictly necessary and restoring the volume of the upper eyelid in a concept of beauty that espouses a"full"sight.There is no gold standard technique to achieve younger and enhanced eyelids.Long-term prospective comparative studies are fundamental in understanding which path is the best to follow.

Radio Sound and Auditory Nostalgia in Toni Morrison’s Love

Radio sound is a key signal sound in Toni Morrison’s 2003 novel Love.The intertwining of memories and radio music constitutes an intriguing window on how radio sound serves as a vehicle for exploring the cultural and historical implications of African American women’s listening experiences with home radio,as is presented by Toni Morrison in her first new millennium novel Love.Far from a simple sonic link with the larger external world,radio sound in is a primary means for individual nostalgia,collective memory,and expression of auditory aesthetics.It is a mechanical sound which conveys a particular“black restorative nostalgia.”

When the Combination of a Chinese Flap and Dufourmentel Makes It Possible to Treat a Hopeless Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Lip

Cancers of the lip are the leading cause of labial defects, and treatment is essentially surgical. The success of a repair is assessed by two essential criteria: The functional character of the lip (restoration of continence allowing feeding) and the aesthetic quality of the repair. However, for many patients from countries whose medical infrastructure does not allow them to undertake complex reconstructions locally, medical transfers represent their only chance of treatment. The aim of this article is to share with you an extreme clinical case of labial reconstruction, the management of which was a real challenge, using two major flaps: the free ante-brachial flap and the DUFOURMENTEL-type bi-pediculated scalp flap.

The Aesthetic Characteristics of Emotional Abuse in The Japanese Movie“0.5mm”

The Japanese movie“0.5mm”connects the life clips between the nursing-care helper Sawa and several old people in the form of a road movie,highlighting many thought-provoking social problems,and revealing how the elements of emotional abuse hidden between the old people and their relatives and friends affect people’s dignity and decency,and at the same time trying to offset the persecution from the emotional abuse with the warm kindness between the elderly and the care workers.The film’s implicit description of emotional abuse and explicit display of good deeds are blended in the quiet and mysterious narrative character,achieving the effect of synchronizing the artistic narrative rhythm with the flow of life,reflecting the unique aesthetic characteristics of Japanese films.

The Aesthetic Connotation of Ancient Calligraphy

From the origin of writing to the formation of the writing system,the names and aesthetics of calligraphy have been evolving with time.Calligraphy has different mainstream writing styles across different eras and has been assigned different names,which also maps the aesthetic orientation of the times.Not only is calligraphy the evolution of the designation of successive generations but also in the continuous pursuit of“name”and“reality”of the unity of the ancient connotation of calligraphy and the era of aesthetic integration.This paper discusses the flavorful meaning behind the concept of ancient calligraphy,as well as its various forms of expression.

Mastering Metaphors: A Possible Path to Understand Modern Poetry

Understanding modern poetry is a big problem for average readers because of all kinds of rhetorical devices filled with them,especially metaphors,which are hard for the readers to understand clearly.Thus,grasping metaphors would provide a possible solution to enhance the understanding of modern poetry.Based on the motivation to better understand modern poetry,the paper explores the 11 mechanisms of metaphors in modern poetry with examples in detail,i.e.,blending,mapping,frame shifting,image schema,conceptual integration,contextual grounding,inter-subjectivity,embodied cognition,recursiveness,juxtaposition,shape-moulding,by borrowing some concepts from Cognitive Linguistics,literary studies,and Rhetorics,which can be adopted as means and methods to understand modern poems.

Research on Dynamic Graphic Features in Digital Media Interfaces

In digital media interfaces,dynamic graphics integrate elements of animation design,graphic design,and cinematic language,presenting in various forms and demonstrating significant inclusivity.From the perspective of visual cognition,by capturing dynamic graphics within the interface,three-dimensional information such as time and space is acquired,and the cognition process exhibits characteristics of spatial and temporal correlation.In terms of information cognition,dynamic representation fragments information,resulting in a sense of discontinuity and intermittent memory.The efficiency of information cognition and transmission is enhanced through the coordination of audio,video,and other elements.In aesthetic perception,with the rise of Internet culture,people’s aesthetic perceptions towards dynamic graphic design have evolved,showcasing a generalization of form and the instantaneous nature of content.Technically,the complexity of design and the diversity of applications have established dynamic graphics as a typical design style label in digital media interfaces.

Integration of Red Aesthetic Education into Kindergarten and its Practical Paths

Red culture has important educational value.The integration of red aesthetics into the kindergarten provides strong support for children to establish correct values and historical views in the multi-cultural environment,and cultivate their creativity and aesthetic consciousness.Red aesthetic education activities should pay attention to the real embodiment of children’s subjectivity and the deep integration of application and practice.Practical paths of red aesthetic education in kindergarten include art activities,multi-field penetration,traditional festivals,and red aesthetic education environment infiltration.

Modern blepharoplasty:From bench to bedside

The demand for procedures aiming to rejuvenate the upper third part of the face and the periocular region has increased in the past several years.Blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures worldwide to date.Surgery is currently the first choice in order to achieve permanent and effective results;however,it is burdened by potential surgical complications feared by patients.There is an increasing trend in individuals to request less invasive,non-surgical,effective,and safe procedures for eyelid treatment.The aim of this minireview is to present a brief overview of non-surgical blepharoplasty techniques that have been reported in the literature in the past 10 years.Numerous modern techniques that provide a rejuvenation of the entire area have been described.Numerous less invasive methods have been proposed in the current literature and in modern-day routine clinical settings.Dermal fillers are a commonly chosen option for providing enhanced aesthetic results,especially considering that volume loss can be one of the main underlying causes of facial and periorbital aging.Deoxycholic acid use may be considered when the problem is represented by periorbital excess fat deposits.The simultaneous excess and loss of elasticity of the skin can be assessed with techniques such as lasers and plasma exeresis.Furthermore,techniques such as platelet-rich plasma injections and the insertion of twisted polydioxanone threads are emerging as viable methods to rejuvenate the periorbital region.

SRAFE:Siamese Regression Aesthetic Fusion Evaluation for Chinese Calligraphic Copy

Evaluation of calligraphic copy is the core of Chinese calligraphy appreciation and in-heritance.However,previous aesthetic evaluation studies often focussed on photos and paintings,with few attempts on Chinese calligraphy.To solve this problem,a Siamese regression aesthetic fusion method is proposed,named SRAFE,for Chinese calligraphy based on the combination of calligraphy aesthetics and deep learning.First,a dataset termed Evaluated Chinese Calligraphy Copies(E3C)is constructed for aesthetic evalu-ation.Second,12 hand‐crafted aesthetic features based on the shape,structure,and stroke of calligraphy are designed.Then,the Siamese regression network(SRN)is designed to extract the deep aesthetic representation of calligraphy.Finally,the SRAFE method is built by fusing the deep aesthetic features with the hand‐crafted aesthetic features.Experimental results show that scores given by SRAFE are similar to the aesthetic evaluation label of E3C,proving the effectiveness of the authors’method.

Successful treatment of eyebrow intradermal nevi by shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage:Two case reports

BACKGROUND An intradermal nevus is a common skin tumour,and the classical method of removal has a risk of recurrence and scarring.It is a challenge for dermatologists to treat eyebrow intradermal nevi quickly and efficiently.This study focused on investigating the efficacy and safety of shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage in the treatment of eyebrow intradermal nevi.CASE SUMMARY We describe two adult patients with eyebrow intradermal nevi treated by shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage.Both patients were followed up regularly after surgery.At follow-up,no recurrence of eyebrow intradermal nevus and no obvious scars or hypopigmentation were found in either patient.The results indicated that shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage could remove eyebrow intradermal nevus without side effects and confirmed the efficacy and safety of this modality for treating these skin lesions.CONCLUSION Shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage has superior merits,including simple operation,good cosmetic effects,and high patient satisfaction,presenting great application potential for treating intracutaneous nevus.
