The application of friend recommendation algorithm in the design of traditional handicraft art communication platform
Cultural awareness is a context in which the integration and development of traditional arts and crafts can be promoted by establishing an exchange platform. In this paper, the exchange platform is designed through the exploration of traditional handicraft art resources and the study of different classifications. The main points of the platform design and key operational processes are explored based on the analysis of the users’ needs for the traditional handicraft art platform. In response to the lack of accuracy of the traditional buddy recommendation algorithm, a buddy recommendation algorithm incorporating user interests was proposed based on big data to carve out different user preferences for traditional arts and crafts. The user interaction response rate of the platform was good, with TPS of 98.7, 137.4 and 75.6 on the sending side, service side and receiving side, respectively, in stable operation. The friend recommendation algorithm incorporating user interests can effectively dig out user groups with similar interests, which is optimized by 11.83% compared to the traditional friend recommendation algorithm. The exchange platform supported by big data, based on friend recommendations to strengthen user interaction, can effectively promote the exchange and integration of traditional handicraft arts.

Design and research of digital twin platform for handicraft intangible cultural heritage -Yangxin Cloth Paste
In the context of the 5G era, the rapid development of digital technology and its integration with intangible cultural heritage (ICH) can facilitate the dynamic transmission of ICH.The research purposes to construct a virtual experience platform for handmade ICH using the handmade ICH of East Hubei Province in China—Yangxin Cloth Paste as a case study through Digital Twin technology. It explores the application of digital twin technology in the field of handmade ICH transmission and aids the dynamic transmission of handmade ICH. Firstly, the research collected tangible and procedural data of the Yangxin Cloth Paste. By using photogrammetric techniques, a model of the handicraft was built and an effective digital twin conversion procedure was designed. Next, the research set up a framework for a digital twin platform for handmade ICH, designing systems for the production, display, and transaction of ICH handicrafts. Lastly, its effectiveness was validated by user satisfaction evaluation guiding subsequent optimization direction. The platform innovatively uses digital twin technology to help users visualize handicraft ICH. Through the combination of digital twin technology and virtual reality technology, it creates a realistic virtual reality experience of ICH of handicraft, stimulates users' interest in exploring ICH of handicraft, and contributes to the process protection, dissemination and development of handicraft ICH.

Social Status and Health in Humans and Other Animals
Dominance hierarchies exist in numerous social species, and rank in such hierarchies can dramatically influence the quality of an individual's life. Rank can dramatically influence also the health of an individual, particularly with respect to stress-related disease. This chapter reviews first the nature of stress, the stress-response and stress-related disease, as well as the varieties of hierarchical systems in animals. I then review the literature derived from nonhuman species concerning the connections between rank and functioning of the adrenocortical, cardiovascular, reproductive, and immune systems. As shown here, the relationship is anything but monolithic. Finally, I consider whether rank is a relevant concept in humans and argue that socioeconomic status (SES) is the nearest human approximation to social rank and that SES dramatically influences health.

Craft and Heritage
This collection of 19 original essays argues for a critical and sustained engagement between the fields of craft and heritage. The book’s interdisciplinary and international array of authors consider how heritage and craft institutions, policies, practices and audiences encounter the constraints and opportunities of production, recognition and exhibition. Case studies spanning 125 years raise and address questions concerning authenticity and commodification, innovation and improvisation, diasporas and decolonization, global economies and national and professional identities. Authors also analyse mechanisms through which craft mobilises and has been harnessed by heritage processes and designations. Examples range from an Irish village at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and the role of chronopolitics in contemporary Vietnamese pottery, to the invisibility of crochet within Swedish heritagisation processes and the application of game theory in a ceramics museum. With section one considering citizenship and identity, section two sustainability and section three dynamic craft in cultural institutions, Craft and Heritage interrogates how craft objects, makers and processes intersect with current heritage concerns and practices.

Snapping and speaking origami
\"The magic of origami is in the transformation of a square of paper into something realistic, as well as the process one goes through to achieve the final product. Readers are introduced to the basic origami folds and terms needed to complete each craft. Full-color photographs and clearly written instructions provide a guide to folding swallowing fish, pecking chickens, and more. Animals made out of paper can be just as fun to play with as action figures especially those readers can make themselves\"-- Amazon.

'Stone is stone': engagement and detachment in the craft of conservation masonry
Since the mid-nineteenth century, craft has been characterized by relations of engagement, resonating with broader romantic discourses that idealize craftsmen in explicit contrast to forms of alienation linked to capitalist production. In recent work on craft, the analytic lens of engagement usefully highlights the dynamic interplay of human and non-human agencies. Our own account builds on these ideas but suggests that the conceptual privileging of engagement creates interpretative problems, precluding ethnographic attention to the role of detachment in craft. Focusing on the skilled practices of conservation stonemasons, we describe the specific constellations of ideology and practice involved in cutting and fixing stone. Through elucidating masons' own understandings of their work, we highlight their commitment to the 'disciplined' embodiment of tradition as a means of separating personal subjectivity from the stones they carve. Our analysis of the skilled practices required to work stone questions the primacy of engagement, suggesting instead that detachment and engagement are mutually implicated relational forms. This finding sheds new light on craft practice and offers a position from which to reconsider broader anthropological commitments to concepts of engagement. Depuis le dix-neuvième siècle, l'artisanat est caractérisé par des relations d'engagement en résonance avec les discours romantiques plus larges qui idéalisent les artisans, explicitement décrits comme échappant à l'aliénation de la production capitaliste. Dans un récent travail sur l'artisanat, le prisme analytique de l'engagement donne un éclairage utile sur l'interaction dynamique entre l'agencéité humaine et non humaine. Notre récit s'appuie sur ces idées mais suggère que les concepts privilégiant l'engagement posent des problèmes d'interprétation en empêchant de s'intéresser du point de vue ethnographique au rôle du détachement dans l'artisanat. En nous concentrant sur les pratiques et compétences des maçons spécialistes des monuments historiques, nous décrivons les constellations spécifiques d'idéologie et de pratique intervenant dans la taille et la mise en place des pierres. En faisant la lumière sur la compréhension que les maçons ont de leur propre travail, nous éclairons leur engagement pour la mise en application « disciplinée » de la tradition comme moyen de séparer leur subjectivité personnelle des pierres qu'ils taillent. Notre analyse des pratiques qualifiées nécessaires pour travailler la pierre remet en question la primauté de l'engagement et suggère qu'au contraire, le détachement et l'engagement sont des formes relationnelles mutuellement imbriquées. Ces observations jettent un éclairage nouveau sur la pratique de l'artisanat et offrent un point de vue à partir duquel reconsidérer les attitudes anthropologiques plus larges envers les concepts d'engagement.
