<p>The development of aesthetic values in the handicraft have been changing in terms of function, shape, appearance and even in terms of its significance, the changes will appear also to changes in the aesthetic value of a work of craft, because the essence of the aesthetic is beauty. In terms of language, the term <em>kriya</em> used in Indonesian language derived from Sanskrit, the word Kriya, when transferred to the Java language has a meaning work or action, and in particular the work related to religious ceremonies. Aesthetic value in a craft covered elements of line, shape, texture, color, composition and so on. The growth of aesthetic value to the craft woven eve of the 21st century can be traced starting from animist civilizations, until the civilization Ekotek Dynamic information (science and technology), or what we call the global community that positions the craft as a commodity. This development is an inter-linkages which always affect one aspect with other aspects including its aesthetic elements. Art craft is one branch or twig arts is undergoing a transformation, both form and function that are often lengthy conversations or discussions, regarding the status and position in the art developments in Indonesia. The development of craft capable of evolving to position itself in three directions, each of which has different interests, they are: 1) preservation oriented, 2) development to economic or commercial interests (craft industry) oriented, and 3) personal expression (artistic achievement) oriented.</p>

Abstract: Design is presented as an apt object of aesthetic appreciation. The nature of its aesthetic dimension will be developed in terms of the relationship between form and function. Specially, by looking at the role that knowledge about function plays in our design aesthetic judgements. Then, I will present the dominant view about the aesthetic value of design coming from functional beauty accounts. Finally, in the last section, I will focus upon some problems derived from the aforementioned integral model form-function in design aesthetics. By means of practical cases, I will point to the narrowness of functional beauty accounts and its inability to include a broader range of actual design objects and their relevant design aesthetic properties.

Abstract Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Shreb.) has exceptional utility as a low maintenance lawn in the transition zone. However, during the summer smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.] infestations can reduce the aesthetic value and function of the turf and lead to a thinning of the tall fescue stand, noticeable after the crabgrass plants have senesced. Research was conducted to evaluate the impact of mowing height and nitrogen fertility on smooth crabgrass plant counts and tall fescue cover in Virginia Beach, VA. Plots were mowed at either 6 cm (2.5 in) or 10 cm (4 in) and received 49, 171, or 220 kg of nitrogen annually per hectare (44, 152, and 196 lb.A−1). Mowing at 10 cm with the highest level of fertility resulted in the most turfgrass cover among all the treatment combinations. Mowing at 10 cm as opposed to 6 cm resulted in less smooth crabgrass plants, regardless of nitrogen fertilization rate. Index words: fertilization, turfgrass, weed control. Species used in this study: Smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.]; tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea Shreb. synonym Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub].

The Relationship

Against the background of the Lithuanian professional music modernisation over the late Soviet period through to the early 21st century, the study focuses on the theoretical-compositional system of dodecatonics by the most consistent Lithuanian modernist Osvaldas Balakauskas (b. 1937). Based on it, the conceptualisation of the composer’s creative process, the modern expression construing specificity, the socio-political and cultural context, and the aesthetic value will be revealed. By interpreting the process of modernisation from the viewpoint of parataxical comparativism, the relationship between the dodecatonics and other 20th century ­stheoretical-compositional systems as well as the theoretical tradition will be examined. The issues of individualisation of the 12-tone technique and the implementation of the principles of the Dodecatonics in Balakauskas’’ compositions will be discussed. The system is contextualised in the milieu of the inculcation of “formalistic” modernist doctrines in Lithuania and the USSR and of the updating of composing systems and the development of new ones.

The rise of and increasing assertiveness by China presents a significant structural challenge in the Indo-Pacific region (IPR). In an effort to retain the status quo, a number of states have signed-up to the ‘free and open Indo-Pacific’ (FOIP). In support of FOIP, operational mechanisms have emerged—most importantly the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad). The United States, Japan, Australia and India have come together in this informal format to exchange views on current security challenges and coordinate their strategic approaches. This article analyses both form and function of Quad and argues that both the diplomatic and military arrangements between Quad members are a direct response to ever-increasing Chinese assertiveness. Alongside a detailed empirical analysis of Quad, this paper addresses the question why Quad 2.0 will thrive although previous attempts at security networks failed. Balance of threat theory will illuminate why informal quasi-alliances vis-à-vis China are going to be the structural new normal for the IPR.

In 1968, the first cinema unit of the Palestinian liberation movement was founded in Amman by Mustafa Abu Ali, Sulafa Jadallah and Hany Jawhariyyeh. Affiliated with Yasser Arafat’s rapidly ascendant Fateh movement, from 1969 to 1974 this organization completed a stylistically eclectic series of films addressing revolutionary changes in Palestinian society and politics. This essay identifies some of the more striking formal experiments undertaken in these early works, reading these in contact with historical and political conditions. It links a reading of the Fateh movement’s response to questions of political form or definition in this period, with an account of the aesthetic and structural innovations through which these early filmmakers pursued a cinema suited to the revolutionary moment. By distinguishing works of this early period from those that followed, and by highlighting the stylistic variations occurring in them, the essay shows filmmaking by militants affiliated with the liberation movement’s political establishment to have been more adventurous and formally unstable than has previously been suggested.

Abstract Background The B-Lite® lightweight breast implant (LWBI), weighs ~ 30% less than traditional silicone implants, while maintaining an equivalent size, form and function. The LWBI thus places less stress on breast tissues, preserves tissue stability and integrity over time, reducing weight-related complications and reoperation rates. Objectives To assess the long-term (over 5 year) safety and performance of the LWBI in primary and revision augmentation procedures. Methods Retrospective single-center, single surgeon analysis of prospectively collected data, was performed on 827 consecutive primary and revision augmentation patients operated between December 2013 and January 2019. 1653 implants (250-835 cc, mostly round, textured, extra high-profile) were implanted using standard surgical techniques. Direct physician-to-patient follow-up ranged from 6 to 67 months. Chart data on reoperations and overall complications as well as patient and surgeon satisfaction, were analyzed. Results The 5 year Per Patient Kaplan–Meier reoperation free rate was very high (97.1%). Only 2 out of 5 total cases of capsular contracture grade III required reoperation (KM rate 0.2%, CI- 0.1-1.0). No cases of rupture or BIA-ALCL were recorded. 94.9% of patients rated the aesthetic outcome, and 95.5% of patients rated the natural look and feel of their breasts, at 4-5 (Satisfied-Very Satisfied). Similarly, the surgeon rated 4-5 on 95.4% of the patients’ aesthetic outcomes. Conclusions The extremely favorable safety profile, high patient and surgeon satisfaction, and inherent benefits of reduced weight, in the largest known study of B-Lite® implant surgeries, should make the LWBI a strongly considered strategic alternative to traditional implants.

Insight Into

This article probes the explanatory value of the concept of celebrity capital in helping us to grasp the fate of celebrities and the cultural objects they produce when they move across to other fields. However, the article seeks to do more than this: with reference to the example of the singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s incursion into the cinematic field, where he co-wrote Masked and Anonymous (2003), it contributes to debates by examining the significance of field-specific aesthetic criteria in helping us to gain insight into the aesthetic value of cultural objects. While Dylan’s celebrity capital gave him access to a number of ‘A-List’ celebrity actors, the aesthetic dimension of the film did not have a meaningful relation to the state of play in the cinematic field and so the film was, in the main, critically panned. So, Masked and Anonymous made Dylan’s boundary-crossing journey in reverse: it retreated to the field of popular music where its aesthetic properties were warmly received when considered in relation to Dylan’s wider body of work. Meanwhile, it was difficult for the harshest critics to ignore the aesthetic value that Dylan’s wider body of work had accumulated over time. There is, then, a temporal dimension of aesthetic appraisal that needs to be considered, even when reviews are considered at a particular historical conjuncture. In this analysis of field-specific aesthetic criteria, we see that boundary work is effective in diminishing the status of a cultural object ( Masked and Anonymous), but we also see that each critic has only limited sway in the face of the totality of judgements which emerges as a supra-individual voice, heterogeneous and full of contradictions, deriving from all those who make evaluative judgements in the field of culture.

Utomo’s novels are very related to the theme of religion and culture. The language used tends to be simple but still interesting and beautiful so research on the form and function of language style is very interesting. The purpose of this study is to describe the form and function of language style in the three Utomo novels. Data collection is done by heuristic techniques or read by repeatedly. Data analysis method used is hermeneutics. Almost all types of figurative language styles are found, but for the sake of effective exposure, only three data would be presented as examples of the form of language style and the function of language style. The three most found figurative languages are metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, and sinekdoke. The function of language also varies, starting from clarifying the picture, increasing the impression, shortening the narrative, and describing the character's feelings. Fulfillment of these functions with simple but beautiful forms of language style makes Utomo's novels have high aesthetic value and are easily understood by readers.

This study examines the community can still enjoy the importance of interior in the Yogyakarta Presidential Palace as a form of cultural heritage. About that, aesthetic value and interior space concept will be arranged in an example kind of new in visual forms. The interior space of the Yogyakarta Presidential Palace concept was a development from the interior space concept during the era of Sukarno. This research is based on the aesthetic and historical approach that stressed on the artistic aspects and design that are associated with aesthetic appeal. The study uses a qualitative research method with an interdisciplinary approach that includes historical, social, cultural, and aesthetic approaches by not leaving descriptive aspects and critical analysis of reading sources and field surveys. It is inductive qualitative research because the inductive process is more able to find multiple realities as contained in the data. The analysis was done using observations of form and function, including the meaning of space composition, which was arranged to [1]produce a proportionate composition with the art collection object. This research is expected to be a basis for the interior aesthetic of the Yogyakarta Presidential Palace and to contribute to designers in the fields of architecture, fine arts, and especially the interior design. Also, this research is expected to be a source of reference for the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Indonesia concerning the aesthetics interior. The aesthetic interior of the new Yogyakarta Presidential Palace can be sharpened by presenting the power of essential values in a particular room with special collections and backgrounds.
