“How’s Your Sense of Direction?” Studying Audiences’ Perception of Classical Hollywood Directors, 1934-1943
No full textThis chapter discusses the role of the Media History Digital Library in a research project investigating the public perception of film directors in the classical Hollywood era. By analyzing data drawn from three fan magazines (Hollywood, Modern Screen and Photoplay) for the period 1934–1943, important insights can be gained into the reputation of specific directors among audiences, as well as what spectators understood the director’s job to consist of. Dominic Topp argues that it can be seen that the reputations of some directors who were known to contemporary audiences have diminished over the years, partly as a result of their omission from the canon of auteurs, which was established in the 1950s and is still extremely influential today

No full textCapacidades institucionales técnicas, operativas, políticas y prospectivas (TOPP) para la gestión de las transformaciones: fundamentos para un nuevo paradigma
No full textLa Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) ha identificado tres trampas estructurales que restringen el desarrollo de la región: una de baja capacidad para crecer y transformar; otra de alta desigualdad, baja movilidad social y débil cohesión social, y una tercera de bajas capacidades institucionales y de gobernanza poco efectiva, esta última de especial relevancia en el análisis de este documento, ya que limita la efectividad y continuidad de las políticas públicas y reduce la posibilidad de adaptarlas en escenarios de cambio e incertidumbre.
El documento plantea que la pregunta crítica no es solo la referida a “qué hacer” para transformar, sino también a “cómo hacerlo” en contextos caracterizados por instituciones frágiles, fragmentación política y demandas económicas, sociales y ambientales urgentes. Para ello se presenta el enfoque de capacidades institucionales técnicas, operativas, políticas y prospectivas (TOPP), concebido como un nuevo paradigma analítico y operativo para la gestión de las transformaciones.
Las capacidades no se entienden como atributos estáticos, sino como funciones críticas, dinámicas e interdependientes que permiten traducir información en acción pública, ejecutar con eficacia, sostener la legitimidad política y anticipar disrupciones y futuros posibles. Su articulación como sistema vivo es esencial para que las instituciones puedan superar la trampa de la debilidad institucional y avanzar hacia un desarrollo productivo, inclusivo y sostenible en la región.Prólogo .-- Introducción.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Retrospective 2017: Future Imperfect. Science · Fiction · Film. 67th Berlin International Film Festival
No full textJulian Stringer has noted that “[t]he international film festival circuit now plays a significant role in the recirculation and recommodification of ‘old’ and ‘classic’ movies” (82). The Berlin International Film Festival, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious, is no exception to this trend. Each year, its Retrospective section, organised in collaboration with the Deutsche Kinemathek, is dedicated to a particular director or film-historical theme, with screenings of prints sourced from a variety of archives and distributors, plus a number of recent digital restorations, along with related panels and talks
TOPP - The OpenMS Proteomics Pipeline
No full textMotivation: Experimental techniques in proteomics have seen rapid development over the last few years. Volume and complexity of the
data have both been growing at a similar rate. Accordingly, data
management and analysis are one of the major challenges in proteomics.
Flexible algorithms are required to handle changing experimental
setups and to assist in developing and validating new methods. In
order to facilitate these studies, it would be desirable to have
a flexible `toolbox' of versatile and user-friendly applications
allowing for rapid construction of computational workflows in proteomics.
Results: We describe a set of tools for proteomics data analysis
-- TOPP, The OpenMS Proteomics Pipeline. TOPP provides a set of computational
tools which can be easily combined into analysis pipelines even by
non-experts and can be used in proteomics workflows. These applications
range from useful utilities (file format conversion, peak picking)
over wrapper applications for known applications (e.g. Mascot) to
completely new algorithmic techniques for data reduction and data
analysis. We anticipate that TOPP will greatly facilitate rapid prototyping
of proteomics data evaluation pipelines. As such, we describe the
basic concepts and the current abilities of TOPP and illustrate these
concepts in the context of two example applications: the identification
of peptides from a raw data set through database search and the complex
analysis of a standard addition experiment for the absolute quantitation
of biomarkers. The latter example demonstrates TOPP's ability to
construct flexible analysis pipelines in support of complex experimental
setups. Availability: The TOPP components are available as open-source
software under the lesser GNU public license (LGPL). Source code
is available from the project web site at www.OpenMS.d
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
