People across the world seek out beautiful sounds in nature, such as a babbling brook or a nightingale song, for positive human experiences. However, it is unclear whether this positive aesthetic response is driven by a preference for the perceptual features typical of nature sounds versus a higher-order association of nature with beauty. To test these hypotheses, participants provided aesthetic judgments for nature and urban soundscapes that varied on ease of recognition. Results demonstrated that the aesthetic preference for nature soundscapes was eliminated for the sounds hardest to recognize, and moreover the relationship between aesthetic ratings and several measured acoustic features significantly changed as a function of recognition. In a follow-up experiment, requiring participants to classify these difficult-to-identify sounds into nature or urban categories resulted in a robust preference for nature sounds and a relationship between aesthetic ratings and our measured acoustic features that was more typical of easy-to-identify sounds. This pattern of results was replicated with computer-generated artificial noises, which acoustically shared properties with the nature and urban soundscapes but by definition did not come from these environments. Taken together, these results support the conclusion that the recognition of a sound as either natural or urban dynamically organizes the relationship between aesthetic preference and perceptual features.

Recent decades have seen a major expansion in our understanding of how early Greek lyric functioned in its social, political, and ritual contexts. The fundamental role song played in the day-to-day lives of communities, groups, and individuals has been the object of intense study. This volume places its focus elsewhere, and attempts to illuminate poetic effects that cannot be captured in functional terms. Employing a range of interpretative methods, it explores the idea of lyric performances as textual events. Several chapters investigate the pragmatic relationship between real performance contexts and imaginative settings. Others consider how lyric poems position themselves in relation to earlier texts and textual traditions, or discuss the distinctive encounters lyric poems create between listeners, authors, and performers. In addition to studies that analyse individual lyric texts and lyric authors (Sappho, Alcaeus, Pindar), the volume includes treatments of the relationship between lyric and the Homeric Hymns. Building on the renewed concern with the aesthetic in the study of Greek lyric and beyond, Textual Events re-examines the relationship between the poems’ formal features and their historical contexts. Lyric poems are a type of sociopolitical discourse, but they are also objects of attention in themselves. They enable reflection on social and ritual practices as much as they are embedded within them. As well as enacting cultural norms, lyric challenges listeners to think about and experience the world afresh.

Aim. To study the dynamics of changes in the values of higher order aberrations in amblyopia treatment and the correlation between higher-order aberrations and astigmatism in patients with hyperopic amblyopia.Methods. This cohort prospective study included 36 patients (36 eyes) with refractive amblyopia aged 4 to 16 years. All patients had anisometropia: emmetropia in one eye and hyperopic astigmatism combined with refractive amblyopia of varying degrees in the other eye. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the degree of astigmatism. Astigmatism greater than 1.5 D was detected in 20 patients (55.5%) and astigmatism less than 1.5 D was detected in 16 patients (44.5%). All patients underwent a complex treatment, including twenty half-hour sessions of videocomputer autotraining using “Amblyotron” device during 20 days, in addition to constant wearing of glasses. Higher order aberrations were measured using the WaveScan Wavefront System aberrometer at the first visit and at 3-, 6 - and 12-month follow-up. A correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between higher order aberrations and astigmatism.Results. There was a statistically significant difference in treatment success between groups with high and low astigmatism. In both groups, higher order aberrations were reduced during the treatment of amblyopia. When comparing the two groups, a significant difference in coma was found at 12-month follow-up (p = 0.043). At 12-month follow-up, coma showed a statistically significant correlation with astigmatism, and a stronger correlation with astigmatism was found in the group of patients with high astigmatism.Conclusions. In patients with refractive amblyopia associated with astigmatism, the decrease in visual acuity is directly dependent on the values of higher-order aberrations, especially on the values of coma, which should be considered as the cause of the development of amblyopia.

The article provides an overview of modern theories of the artistic expression of verse texts. The inseparable connection of form and content has been established as an integral feature of the artistic speech of the verse text. The basic features of the verse text are identified, namely the relationship of sound and content organization, the interrelation of the meter and the theme. On the basis of the analysis the formalistic and structuralist approaches for the study of the form and content of the verse text are distinguished; the system-structural direction in which the verse text is conceived as a whole; the linguopoietic direction determines the interaction of the form and content of the verse text, and its linguistic elements cause an aesthetic effect. The aesthetic aspect of the poem is considered in the dialectical unity of cognitive and imaginative combinatorics. The purpose of linguoconceptology is to study the processes of conceptualization of the world (society, culture). An approach related to the semantic features of verbal text usage reveals their role in creating a verbal image.

The paper deals with one of the aspects of early identification of giftedness: the establishment of the relationship between its types. The authors see a solution of the problem in the development and validation of the methodology based on the integrated modern scientific knowledge - psychological, pedagogical and art criticism, in the field of contemporary art. This technique is expected to meet the conditions of efficiency and accessibility in the application of teachers working with children. Clarifications have been made to the basic concept of giftedness for the paper. The authors propose a term describing the interrelated manifestation of two types of giftedness - duovector talent. The method is aimed at finding hidden signs of duovector giftedness: musical mathematics, in the field of fine art and sports, musical and linguistic. The basis of this approach is the idea of the dependence of the frequency and brightness of giftedness manifestations on the conditions, the most important of which is the aesthetic environment enriched with multi-modal material for creativity. At the same time, it is advisable to involve children in accessible and aesthetically valuable works of modern art, in the search for new knowledge in the same ways that adult authors of the XXI century use. Modeling directly perceived creative techniques and forms, the child masters the world, structures it non-linearly, on the principle of creating a rhizome. As a catalyst of creative activity, a set of tasks-subtests adapted to the age peculiarities of children is offered. The procedure of the experiment in a specially organized educational environment (an art workshop) is characterized. Plunging into the atmosphere of fruitful disorder, the child will act freely and directly, engaged in creativity as a game, creates an art product that has value as a marker of his talent. The content of creative tasks is presented, according to the results of work on which the diagnostic card is filled, in turn, which is the basis for the conclusions about the presence of the childs duovector talent. At this stage of the study, the authors have prepared a method for validation by comparing it with tests and subtests of other methods. The materials of the paper logically continue the research in the field of finding reference points for the development of individual educational routes of students, preparing them for lifelong learning.

Este ensaio analisa a relação entre arte e conhecimento a partir da obra poética de Francis Ponge. O teor cognitivo está na iniciativa de edificação de uma mathesis singularis a partir do contato com os objetos em sua apreensão direta. A emoção poética, como fato original e causa do poema, é conduzida à descrição do objeto até a forma de uma lei estética apta à configuração objetiva do mundo. A forma estética visa a adequação entre as palavras e as coisas a partir de um recuso semiótico da linguagem, a saber, a onomatopéia. No interior do projeto cognitivo e intencional de Francis Ponge, a onomatopéia é o recurso que define o objeto, seguido por uma descrição fiel aos objetos em sua manifestação concreta. À luz da experiência poética de Francis Ponge, que correlaciona explicitamente a relação entre arte e conhecimento, estão abertas as possibilidades de pensar o conhecimento estético a partir de outras artes e artistas, como a pintura de Cézanne, entre outros. AbstractThis essay analyzes the relationship between art and knowledge from the poetry of Francis Ponge. The cognitive content is in the initiative of building a mathesis singularis from the contact with the objects in its direct apprehension. Poetic emotion, as the original fact and cause of the poem, is led to the description of the object into the form of an aesthetic law apt to the objective configuration of the world. The aesthetic form aims at matching words and things through a semiotic refusal of language, namely onomatopoeia. Within Francis Ponge's cognitive and intentional project, onomatopoeia is the defining feature of the object, followed by a faithful description of the objects in their concrete manifestation. In the light of Francis Ponge's poetic experience, which explicitly correlates the relationship between art and knowledge, the possibilities of thinking aesthetic knowledge from other arts and artists, such as Cezanne's painting, among others, are open.

The Relationship

This paper presents results from phase one of a large-scale, two-phase research project investigating self-access centre (SAC) experts’ (Centre Directors; Centre Managers; Centre Coordinators; Learning Advisors) beliefs about the roles and purposes of SACs. The project adopts both the fundamental assumptions and approaches of learner belief studies in SLA and teacher cognition research in education. However, it examines neither learners nor teachers; instead, all the participants are SAC practitioners. Phase one of the study begins by surveying, through an online questionnaire, the different beliefs these practitioners have about self-access learning and SAC practice. This paper describes how the data was collected and analysed, as well as selecting a few interesting findings to highlight the value of conducting beliefs study on SAC experts. The findings reported in this paper need to be triangulated with follow up interviews (phase two) in order to construct a more accurate understanding of the beliefs held by the participants. Therefore, any conclusions or implications regarding the relationship between practitioners’ beliefs and SAC practice remain incomplete. Nevertheless, the findings from phase one provide an insightful preliminary picture of the diversity of both practice and practitioner from SACs across the world and open up a valuable avenue for further discussion.

The Relationship

The problem of the relationship between natural and conventional symbolism shows Merleau-Ponty's concern with maintaining an 'organic link between perception and intellection.' For the body affords in itself and in its relation with the world the model on which the interpretation of symbolism is grounded. This paper develops the view that the architectonic of the body implies a silent structure which is the condition for expressive operations. The body is the 'primal expression,' and this means that it is so organized that it brings forth an institution (Stiftung) of meaning. As regards conventional symbolism, Merleau-Ponty turns aside from an intellectual interpretation by contending that the attempt to find in categoreal activity a common fundamental moment must not overlook the fact that meaningful structures cannot be separated from the materials which embody them because 'matter is pregnant with form.' This view opens up the possibility of considering the cultural formations which emerge in the relationship between persons in language, knowledge, society and history as a reprise of the aesthetic logos in a different architectonic.

Study Plan

  This study is based on the hypothesis that the vision of the poem (the evangelism)- the transfer of the self- confessed mysteries to the divine self- is its aesthetic peculiarity, which distinguishes it from the vision of other poetic models such as the poem of the spinning, the praise and the lamentation for mere representation. The choice was made to test this hypothesis on the poetry of the Asir region; to clarify the specificity of the vision of the poem in the fabric of its texts; interacting with a striking intimacy with the values ​​of the poet's spiritual surroundings, which leads poets to speak to the divine; Thus, the study reduced its problem with the question: What is the aesthetic peculiarity of a poem in the poetry of Asir? The nature of the subject dictated to the researcher to adopt the mechanism of discourse- according to the theories of critic Henry Mishonic- whose task is to clarify the relationship between the structures of poetic discourse, and the specificity of the self- poet involved. The study plan consists of an introduction, a preface, two papers, and a conclusion. The second is the world of the divine self, which is characterized by the absolute ability to resolve the rift, and the second is the world of the divine self, Serenity, support for the defeated, and the relief of the Mujahedeen.
