Starting with the Reconstruction of the Work "Medicine" and the Restoration of the Wrestler: On the Boundary and Possibility of Artificial Intelligence Reconstructing Art History

Yuanyuan He — 2025-03-24

Through this paper, the author analyzes the multidimensional involvement of artificial intelligence in the field of art, constructing a technical evolution framework from "restoration" to "creation." Starting with the reconstruction of works by Gustav Klimt, a member of the Vienna Secession, and the restoration of Van Goghs hidden paintings, it extends to cutting-edge cases such as Mario Klingemanns *Memories of Passersby*, revealing how AI can transcend the physical boundaries of traditional art history. It also explores new areas in AI research within art studies, analyzing its role in art history, criticism, and broader humanities disciplines. Additionally, it examines how AI tools are used to provide new insights into art evaluation and restoration, infusing historical works with new life and offering a fresh perspective on interpreting art heritage. Furthermore, the potential of AI in fostering new artistic trends and paradigms is speculated upon, challenging and expanding our collective understanding of what constitutes art. Moreover, the paper delves into the emerging field of computational creativity, where AI not only serves as an analytical tool but also as a medium for creation, blurring traditional boundaries between creator and creation.

The Impact of Subjective Well-Being on the Fertility Intentions of Women of Childbearing Age

Rong Li — 2025-02-26

In recent years, China has faced the severe challenge of low fertility rates and negative population growth, which poses threats to social stability, economic growth, and the pension system. The government places high importance on this issue, as population resources are key to the sustainable development of society. This study focuses on the group of women of childbearing age in China, using data from the 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS)to explore the impact of subjective well-being on fertility intentions and its underlying mechanisms. The findings indicate that the higher the subjective well-being of women of childbearing age, the more children they intend to have. This relationship varies among women with different income levels. Income level amplifies the relationship between subjective well-being and fertility intentions. Moreover, the three sub-dimensions of subjective well-being—development experience, satisfaction experience, and physical and mental health experience—all have significant positive impacts on the desired number of children. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the impact of subjective well-being on the fertility intentions of women of different ages and marital statuses is markedly different. Based on these findings, developing targeted strategies to enhance the fertility intentions of women of childbearing age can not only help alleviate the urgency of declining fertility rates but also provide practical references for policymakers to promote sustainable economic and social development.

The Linguistic Landscape of Chiang Mai: Multilingualism and Cultural Communication in Tourism

Defang Sha — 2025-03-12

Chiang Mai, a renowned tourist destination in northern Thailand, offers a fascinating linguistic landscape (LL) that reflects the intersection of cultural heritage, globalization, and tourism dynamics. This study explores the distribution and functions of languages in Chiang Mai's public signage, focusing on the dominance of Thai, the auxiliary roles of English and Chinese, and the implications for cultural preservation and global accessibility. Thai signage reinforces cultural identity and heritage, while English and Chinese cater to the linguistic needs of international tourists, enhancing navigation and cross-cultural communication. The research highlights the dual functions of LL: its informational role facilitates practical communication, and its symbolic role reflects the city’s inclusivity and cultural richness. However, challenges such as inconsistent translations and limited representation of minority languages remain. Addressing these issues through standardized multilingual policies and the integration of technology could further improve Chiang Mai’s LL, positioning it as a global model for balancing cultural preservation and tourism. This study contributes to the growing discourse on multilingualism and linguistic landscapes, offering insights into the role of language in fostering sustainable and inclusive tourism.
