Our brains also respond emotionally to new and familiar faces we find in non-animated objects, paintings, and sculptures. To retain such memory of a face or express our feelings, we create portraits. Portraits have fascinated us for millennia. This paper reviews the interrelationships between painting, photography, facial recognition, and artificial intelligence technologies in portraiture aesthetics. The importance of portraits as a subject in artistic creation, studies, and research has led to various advancements in technological innovations. The inevitable role that portraits play in different mediums of art, history of art, communication, and security marks the intersection between humanity and identity, art and technology, as well as its undeniable position within the genre of art. Today the rapid development of digital tools, mobile software, and artificial intelligence allows not only the artist and designer to create portraitures but is also widely used by the public in all walks of life to create portraitures instantly. Driven by the marriage and momentum of art and technology in the field of new media art, will artificial intelligence and modern facial recognition technology take over the role of artists?

The United Nations (UN) has prioritized it as a significant objective within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program. Sustainable development implies economic growth that benefits both present and future generations without compromising their well-being. Some analysts argue that sustainable infrastructure may be more advantageous when evaluated based on private cost-benefit criteria, although comparisons are needed for clarity. One challenge in testing this hypothesis is the lack of a clear measurable distinction between sustainable and non-sustainable infrastructure at the national or global level. In this study, we utilize two quality infrastructure indices to quantify the extent of sustainable infrastructure. These measures are then applied to a sample of countries to test hypotheses regarding the effect of per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population on a country’s investment in quality infrastructure. The findings support the hypotheses that per capita GDP and population have a nonlinear effect on quality infrastructure, with both variables having a positive effect, albeit at a decreasing rate. At certain higher levels of per capita GDP or population, the effect turns negative. The policy implications for national governments and international organizations are also discussed, highlighting the need for tailored strategies to promote sustainable infrastructure development without undermining other much needed priorities such as eradicating extreme poverty.

Furthermore, Society 5.0 indicates that the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN) will become the STEAM center for elementary and junior high school students, as part of the efforts to establish a system that supports STEAM education. Since 2019, we have practiced STEAM education as part of “Liberal Arts Special Lectures” for 4th-year students of the main course (1st year of the undergraduate course). In these lectures, the teachers of liberal arts subjects present themes using their specialties, such as mathematics, debate, and economics. Collaborative learning between students from various departments led them to deep learning, which was a fusion of knowledge and creation. However, there are few opportunities to give back to society, particularly a platform to disseminate the acquired mathematics ability. Therefore, we aim to realize early STEAM education and give back to society by creating STEAM teaching materials on graph theory in open courses for junior high school students between the ages of 13 and 15 with help from teaching assistants who studied graph theory in the liberal arts special lectures. Moreover, through a course on graph theory, the course will not only arouse students' interest in mathematics, but also provide them with clues to develop their multifaceted ideas.

However, compared with Europe, China's research foundation for large-scale cruise ship design is still lacking. Therefore, studying the spatial layout characteristics of the central atrium is of great significance for improving China's cruise industry. This article focuses on the design principles and characteristics of integrated space layout in the central atrium of cruise ships. By applying basic theories from architecture, shipbuilding engineering, aesthetics, international maritime safety conventions and technology to analyzing representative central atria from 25 typical domestic and foreign cruise brands through data collection and research methods including mathematical statistics methodology, clustering methodology and cases research methodology. Through comparison and generalization of the cases, the study eventually summarizes six overall principles and four structural principles for designing integrated space in the central atrium of a cruise ship. The six overall principles include safety, rationality, applicability, artistry, coordination and technique-economics. The four structural principles include clear space circulation, natural spatial connection, theme coordination & unification and prominent key levels. This study provides insights into designing integrated space in the central atriums of cruise ships that hopefully can be applied in improving China's cruise design work while also supporting guidance for future related fields.

Over time, the initial prestressing force decreases due to several factors. Incorrect estimation of prestress losses can lead to design inefficiencies or structural issues. Monitoring the prestressing force can be achieved through instrumentation during casting, but existing SPCE lack such devices, necessitating indirect methods to determine prestressing force variations. This study focuses on analyzing stresses released in a notched post-tensioned concrete beam using the saw-cutting technique. Surface notches induce local decompression, allowing for strain measurements in the isolated concrete block. These measurements, considering uncertainties in initial prestress and material properties, are analyzed through backward calculations. The findings enhance understanding of saw-cutting and enable future applications to determine effective prestressing force in unmonitored SPCE. Further experimental studies are required to explore prestressing force consistency under monitored conditions. This research provides valuable insights into the potential of the saw-cutting technique as a non-destructive testing method for assessing prestressing force in unmonitored SPCE. Accurately determining the prestressing force is crucial for evaluating existing SPCE and ensuring their structural integrity.

The complexity of stock price prediction involves various factors, including market trends, economic indicators, company performance, news sentiment, and more. Accordingly, stock prices are said to follow the ‘random walk hypothesis’. This systemic factor should be coupled with the limited human cognitive abilities to envisage the dynamics of financial markets. Novel machine learning algorithms have been advocated as potentially supreme replacement for the ‘human-centric’ stock prediction approaches. Hitherto, a myriad of machine learning algorithms has been effectively used for this purpose – ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average), XGBoost (Random Forest and Gradient Boosting Algorithms), CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) or LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). The aim of this paper is to test the predictive capacity of LSTM on a sample of large global food industry companies. The prices of shares of five companies were observed, namely: PEP (PepsiCo), TSN (Tyson Foods), NSRGY (Nestle), JBSAY (JBS S.A.), KHC (The Kraft Heinz Company), in the period from 01.01.2015. until 1.11.2022. Based on the data from this time range, a stock price forecast for Nov 2nd, 2022, was made. The results indicate very precise prediction since the difference between predicted and real stock price is insignificant.

It is a particularly important question in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), and especially in engineering education, which abilities and skills are essential for new graduates on the labour market. The aim of our questionnaire survey, conducted in 2022, was to map the specifics of soft skills among engineering students. A total of 208 engineering students filled in our online questionnaire. We examined the characteristics of soft skills based on a list of 39 items. The 5 soft skills considered most important were problem-solving, reliability, resilience, communication and independent work.
