Out-of-Commerce, Out of Mind: Widening Public Access to Out-of-Commerce Copyright Works in Film Archives through the DSM Directive
Get PDFThis dataset comes from research that aimed to understand to what extent Art. 8 of the EU Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive 2019 can successfully benefit film archives and the existing practices of film archivists in widening public access to film heritage. The focus is on out of commerce copyright film works. This research complemented the existing literature, through conducting doctrinal and empirical research that generated the necessary understanding of how Art. 8 is likely to be understood and used by film archives.
This research found that there are terminology uncertainties, a lack of cultural heritage institute funding, a lack of legal education and knowledge, and competing archival priorities that could hinder the use of Art. 8 in film archival practice. Ethnographic studies were conducted to explore existing film archival practices and therefore how the out-of-commerce provisions might best be incorporated into these practices. The UK’s national film archive the BFI, the Netherland’s national film archive EYE, and a regional UK film archive MACE, were the chosen film archives.
This data contains anonymised interview transcripts and an annotated bibliography of publicly available film archival documents

Covertly instructing participants to focus of diagnostic features reduces the own-ethnicity bias in face recognition
Get PDFOne theory of own-ethnicity bias in face recognition is that people do not pay attention to the most diagnostically discriminating features of other-ethnicity faces, leading to poorer encoding and subsequent recognition of them. To test this theory, two standard old/new recognition paradigms were employed in which White and Black participants were covertly told to encode features that were diagnostic for discriminating between White or Black faces during the learning phase. These instructions were to rate the size of one of the more diagnostically important features: specifically, the eyes or the nose. The results indicate that this instruction was sufficient to minimise the own-ethnicity bias in face recognition offering further support to the aforementioned theory
Low-frequency rTMS to the frontal lobe increases eye-movement carryover
No full textThe persistence of attentional set from one task to a secondary unrelated task, revealed through carryover of eye movements, has been attributed to increased activation in the parietal lobe and decreased activation to the frontal lobe. To directly test this, we adopted a modified version of the Thompson and Crundall (2011) paradigm using low-frequency repetitive TMS to P3 and F3. In each trial, participants viewed letter-strings that were arranged horizontally, vertically, or randomly across the screen before viewing a road image and providing a hazardousness rating for it. The orientation of the letter search influenced eye movements to the road images and this carryover was greater following stimulation to F3 than to P3 (or sham). Furthermore, hazardous ratings were lower following P3 stimulation. These results confirm the involvement of attentional orienting and switching mechanisms in the carryover of eye movements. It is suggested that this “attentional inertia” effect will increase with greater orienting of attentional resources in an initial task and poor inhibition of previously-relevant settings between tasks

Sexual Spaces Interview Data, 2016-2018
No full textResearch on Olympic cities and those hosting sport mega events has tended to address national identity-making, media representation (often with respect to the narratives of city/nation promoting tourism and investment), and associated landscapes of urban regeneration/gentrification. There has been less academic emphasis on the informal economies that coalesce around such events, with even less of a focus on the relationship between sporting events and urban sexual landscapes. Media speculation often points to heightened demand for sexual services around Sport Mega Events (SMEs), especially in relation to the global trafficking of sex workers. Indeed, these reports are often used to justify policing and other social control measures and rationalise city 'cleansing', displacing sex work from the spaces which become visible to international audiences in the context of a major sporting event. At the same time, event-related construction and road closure can also disrupt established spaces of sex work and street prostitution. In Brazil, and despite the Government actively supporting legalised prostitution, such challenges raise a number of concerns surrounding eviction, loss of community support, loss of worker rights, stigmatization, and the displacement of sexual commerce from the centre to the margins (raising concerns over safety, criminal control, and violence). However, there exists a dearth of relevant scientific data on the sexual landscapes associated with the Olympics or more widely on the impact of large-scale sporting events on vulnerable sex working populations (an omission noted by Deering et al., 2012; Matheson and Finkel, 2014). This project will provide this data by completing the first funded academic study on the impact of the Olympics on sex workers.
The data herein represent the raw interview data with over 100 sex workers in Rio interviewed between 2016 and 2018. Data collection took place in conjunction with the Prostitution Policy Watch [Observatório da Prostituição], an extension project of the Metropolitan Ethnographic Lab (LeMetro/IFCS) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro which draws together an (inter)national team comprised of allies in academia (e.g. the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Fluminense Federal University, the Gender Studies Centre at the State University of Campinas, the Mailman School of Public Health and Faculty of Law at Columbia University, and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Williams College) and the broader public/activist sphere (Davida: Prostitution, Civil Rights, and Health, ABIA: Brazilian Interdisciplinary Association of AIDS, and the Brazilian Network of Prostitutes). The data allowed purchase on the manner in which the female sex worker adapted to the entrepreneurial essence of the Olympic event to capitalize on the influx of tourism in an otherwise bleak economic moment
Neoliberalism and the environment: are we aware of appropriate action to save the planet and do we think we are doing enough?
No full textWe currently face several, interlinked environmental crises, including climate change, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. However, many governments seem unwilling to take strong and immediate action to address these threats, preferring to promote neoliberal approaches to allow consumers and the general public to make environmentally friendly choices. This is despite neoliberal approaches being much less likely to be successful than government leadership, taxation, subsidies, and legislation in addressing environmental issues. In this study, we examine public perception of environmental threats and solutions to these threats, in a survey, mainly completed in the UK. Climate change is seen as the biggest issue, likely due to recent activist campaigns and subsequent media attention on the issue. Neoliberal attitudes, such as green consumer choices to environmental concerns, do still dominate in a series of possible presented solutions, and score more highly than lifestyle changes such as changing diet. However, when questioned specifically about plastic pollution, government intervention to ban all unnecessary plastic scored very strongly, indicating a shift from a consumer driven response. Furthermore, most participants think they are at best only partly ‘doing their bit’ to protect the environment. The results demonstrate that the public are aware that not enough is happening to protect the environment and provide evidence that there is willingness for stronger government intervention to address environmental issues, although there is potential resistance to major lifestyle changes
