Immersive retail report
No full textThis report explores key developments in immersive retail in response to a brief set out by Anam XR.
Through reviewing secondary academic sources as well as industry reports we brought together key
findings related to how consumers respond to immersive environments. As this is still a new area,
there are limited empirical studies focused on this in the context of fashion retail, so the scope of the
literature review included heritage and cultural applications, computer science, design and cognitive
sciences. We combined this with the presentation of key findings from a prior study on fashion
technology undertaken by the FBRC and the results of a Screencast study focused on consumer
responses to the immersive environment developed by Anam XR
Arts marketing
No full textArts Marketing focuses on a variety of sectors within the arts and addresses the way in which marketing principles are applied within these, outlining both the similarities and the differences that occur. Relating policy to practice, this contributed text demonstrates the most effective means of marketing in specific areas of the arts, with each chapter having been written by a specialist in the field.Although primarily focusing on the UK market, the subject has global relevance and appeal, and policy is evaluated on national, European and supranational levels. Specialist topics dealt with range from the marketing of the theatre, opera, and museums, through to the film industry and popular music
Sedimentary Record of Antibiotic Accumulation in Minnesota Lakes
No full textDeposited here are Excel files containing data regarding the accumulation rates of antibiotics in lake-sediment cores retrieved from select lakes in Minnesota.The widespread detection of antibiotics in the environment is concerning because antibiotics are designed to be effective at small doses. The objective of this work was to quantify the accumulation rates of antibiotics used by humans and animals, spanning several major antibiotic classes (sulfonamides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides), in Minnesota lake-sediment cores. Our goal was to determine temporal trends, the major anthropogenic source to these lacustrine systems, and the importance of natural production. A historical record of usage trends for ten human and/or animal-use antibiotics (four sulfonamides, three fluoroquinolones, one macrolide, trimethoprim, and lincomycin) was faithfully captured in the sediment cores. Nine other antibiotics were not detected. Ofloxacin, trimethoprim, sulfapyridine, and sulfamethazine were detected in all of the anthropogenically-impacted studied lakes. Maximum sediment fluxes reached 20.5 ng cm−2 yr−1 (concentration 66.1 ng/g) for ofloxacin, 1.2 ng cm−2 yr−1 (1.2 ng/g) for trimethoprim, 3.3 ng cm−2 yr−1 (11.3 ng/g) for sulfapyridine, and 1.0 ng cm−2 yr−1 (1.6 ng/g) for sulfamethazine, respectively. Natural production of lincomycin may have occurred in one lake at fluxes ranging from 0.4 to 1.8 ng cm−2 yr−1 (0.1 to 5.8 ng/g).Wastewater effluent appears to be the primary source of antibiotics in the studied lakes, with lesser inputs from agricultural activities.Arnold, William A; Kerrigan, Jill F; Sandberg, Kyle; Engstrom, Daniel R; LaPara, Tim.

No full textThe Tension Between Artistic and Market Orientation in Visual Art
Get PDFFor centuries, artists have existed in a world which has been shaped in part by their own attitudes towards art but which also co-exists within the confines of a market structure. Many artists have thrived under the conventional notion of a market with its origins in economics and supply and demand, while others have created a market for their work through their own entrepreneurial endeavours. This chapter will explore the options open to the visual artist and examine how existing marketing theory often fails to explain how and why the artist develops an individualistic form of marketing where the self and the artwork are just as important as the audience and the customer
Uncovering the ‘lived meanings’ of rural space, food localness and place to construct local food landscapes
No full textContrary to most research, this study moves beyond traditional placemaking approaches and embraces a socio-cultural focus to help uncover local consumers’ lived meanings of ‘local’ food choice. In so doing, we respond to calls for additional research to move beyond traditional placemaking concepts (McCamley & Harkness, 2022) and advance our understanding of consumers’ construction of food localness in their regional market of reference (Banerjee & Quinn, 2022)
Dreaming of artistic excellence, popularity, or both?
No full textArtists in any field must face a similar dilemma: Should they pursue their own ideals of artistic integrity as a pure creative expression of their most profound thoughts and feelings, or should they instead try to please their targeted markets in order to gain popular acceptance and achieve commercial success? Any answer to this question produces long-lasting effects – not only for the artists themselves, but also for audience members who might benefit in knowledge and experience from appreciating the most inspired pieces of art. Potentially, such a difficult choice might be resolved by achieving popularity through the attainment of high quality in the works of art, but the efficacy of such a rapprochement must not be taken for granted. Due to the high availability of data on the motion picture industry, this paper addresses this dilemma in the context of cinematic consumption. To understand whether excellence and popularity diverge, converge, or proceed on independent paths, we review previous research suggesting that, from different perspectives favoring alternative modes of analysis, past studies interpret similar data sets differently. Whether excellence and popularity are independent or correlated has a strong impact on many aspects of the movie industry such as the job of experts, the role of Academy Awards, and the importance of various cinematic product features. Hence, this problematic issue raises relevant questions for artists, consumers, and researchers with an interest in arts marketing
