Cultural Relationship Management
No full textDifferent socio-economic conditions have resulted in an increase inattention to the cultural product, both as a cultural asset, such as museums, archaeological sites and as goods or services within the cultural content, such as discography, cinematography. This work proposes cultural relationship management as managerial and organizational orientation in the policies of cultural organizations. This approach considers the management of internal and external relations fundamental to achieve a balance between conservation and enhancement of cultural product. The aim of the work is to provide a perspective of the best companies in the management of cultural activities, it would also enable cultural heritage to create value without being subject to an unproductive expenditure. In this paper we have noted that cultural enterprise has, more than anything else, unique resources and skills. This paper provides an analysis of the resource based review and theories of relationship management, in an adaptation to the cultural product. To understand the processes of management, it is appropriate to consider both internal and external resources and the possible relations that cultural enterprise can activate. The focus of the paper is to verify how a cultural product can create attractiveness for individuals and capital that will allow better access to culture for the benefit of the entire community, both public and private. Later, the possible alliances and relationships that can be triggered by a cultural enterprise are presented. They are grouped into equity, non-equity and hybrid relationships. In the light of the path traced in the course of the work, we propose a matrix of cultural relationship management
Cultural Product Management; from Environment to Territorial Context: Configuration of the Main Relationships
No full textThis chapter aims to represent the evolution of the cultural vocation of the territory with relation to the cultural product. The authors achieve this by adopting a holistic, viable-systemic approach. This approach proves useful to draw a better representation of the relationships existing among members of the territory - which is a prerequisite for the creation of any cultural product - and among them and the stakeholders to whom the cultural product itself is targeted. The authors consider the notion of relationship as a form of interactive connection determining - in causal fashion - a series of input-output effects among system members
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Personalized weight loss strategies by mining activity tracker data
No full textWearable devices make self-monitoring easier by the users, who usually tend to increase physical activity and weight loss maintenance over time. But in terms of behavior adaptation to these goals, these devices do not provide specific features beyond monitoring the achievement of daily goals, such as a number of steps or miles walked and caloric outtake. The purpose of this study is twofold. By analyzing a large dataset of signals collected by these devices, we identify significant clusters of similar behavior patterns related to user physical activities. We then examine specific patterns of step count in the context of recommendation of habits that more likely give rise to weight loss effects. The evaluation of the effectiveness of these personalized recommendations, based on a comparative study, proves how a recommender system based on the reinforcement learning paradigm is able to guarantee better performance for this task by balancing the trade-off between long-term and short-term rewards
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
