La autodeterminación se ha convertido en un constructo clave para garantizar el principio de inclusión educativa. El desarrollo de estas habilidades, entre otros beneficios, permite a los estudiantes con discapacidad fomentar su participación en el currículum ordinario e incrementar sus competencias para el desarrollo de una vida independiente. En este artículo de investigación se presenta un estudio que, mediante la aplicación de la Escala arc-inico, evalúa las autopercepciones de 264 estudiantes chilenos con discapacidad intelectual sobre su autodeterminación. Los principales resultados evidencian bajos niveles de autodeterminación y escaso manejo de habilidades relacionadas con el autoconocimiento, el locus de control interno o la autodefensa. Además, la severidad de la discapacidad o el tipo de establecimiento educativo se identifican como factores incidentes en el logro de esta importante meta. El análisis de los resultados a la luz de la literatura, revela la importancia de reorientar los apoyos dirigidos a estos estudiantes y plantear programas formativos que permitan trabajar estas habilidades. De esta manera, es posible ir concretando en la práctica los principios que, según la legislación, contribuyen a generar ambientes inclusivos en las aulas.
Una mirada desde la inclusión al Programa de Integración Escolar (PIE) en escuelas rurales chilenas: un análisis de casos

Published: May 2020

El Programa de Integración Escolar (pie) es una política de inclusión escolar que funciona bajo el principio de subvenciones especiales entregadas a niños y niñas con necesidades educativas especiales. Las escuelas rurales también han podido optar a formar parte de pie. En este artículo se presenta una investigación-acción que buscaba potenciar las prácticas inclusivas de las escuelas rurales. Se levantó información en 6 escuelas rurales de Chile, a través de entrevistas y talleres con miembros de la comunidad escolar. Los resultados destacan tres formas de aproximarse a pie, dos de ellas de casos de escuelas con pie y una aproximación que engloba las escuelas sin pie. Las tres posiciones cuestionan el programa de diferentes formas, mientras que solo en una de ellas el PIE parece ser un programa aceptado y coherente con las prácticas escolares. Se concluye reflexionando sobre el valor de pie y el problema de la migración de “niños PIE” urbanos a escuelas rurales.

Field trip activities are often considered additional activities and are considered recreational activities rather than ones that teach science effectively to students. Field trip activities are one form of effective experience-based learning to train pre-service teachers in the outdoor environment. This study attempted to describe the design of outdoor science learning in the form of the field trip for pre-service science teachers (PSTs) and the condition of psychosocial learning environments in outdoor activities. This research is a case study carried out in a pre-service science teacher training program at Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kudus, Indonesia. The field trip was designed with field visits on six objects for three days in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The field trip activity was attended by 70 PSTs. Qualitative data is captured through the documentation of activities at each outdoor learning location. Quantitative data collection instruments included seven psychosocial scales, namely (1) Environmental Interaction; (2) Integration; (3) Students cohesiveness; (4) Teacher supportiveness; (5) Open-endedness; (6) Preparation and organization; (7) Material environment. The field trip design for PSTs recommends activities that lead to observation and exploration of visiting objects relating not only to the content of the science but also to the pedagogical aspects of the science. The psychosocial aspects of PSTs indicate that field trip activities show a positive meaning in all aspects, although there are significant differences in the conditions of expectations and reality experienced by PSTs. The integration aspect is not significantly different. The decline in perception is still at the medium level, and the condition of the perception is still at a positive level. Research and development studies that emphasize the process of integrating classroom learning with outdoor activities can be carried out further to be able to give meaning to science learning, which is not limited by classrooms or laboratories.
Monomeric C-reactive protein affects cell injury and apoptosis through activation of p38 MAPK in human coronary artery endothelial cells
Authors: Zhang Yong , Cao Hongxia
Published: May 2020

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important predictor of cardiovascular events and plays a role in vascular inflammation and vessel damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pentameric CRP (pCRP) and monomeric CRP (mCRP) on the production of atherosclerosis-related factors in cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). HCAECs were treated with pCRP, mCRP, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor SB203580, or transfected with p38 MAPK siRNA. Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2), and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). Proliferation, damage, and apoptosis of HCAECs were examined using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and flow cytometry, respectively. mCRP suppressed VEGF and COX-2 expression and enhanced ICAM-2 and VCAM-1 expression in HCAECs, in both dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Except at 100 μg/ml concentration and 20-hour or 24-hour incubation, pCRP had no apparent effects. mCRP but not pCRP induced HCAEC injury and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, and the inhibitior SB203580 reversed the effects of mCRP. mCRP promotes injury and apoptosis of HCAECs through a p38 MAPK-dependent mechanism, which provides a new therapy for the injury of HCAECs in atherosclerosis.

Narración. Sobre Nuestra ciudad de Thornton Wilder
Authors: Lastra Antonio
Published: May 2020

Hasta qué punto Nuestra ciudad depende de las enseñanzas de Gertrude Stein, a quien Thornton Wilder se refería como su “Diótima”, es una de las entradas más difíciles, y más compensatorias, de los estudios sobre la obra. Se ha hablado de influencia y de catálisis, de anticipación y coincidencia. Wilder había ensayado en muchas de sus obras en un solo acto, previas a Nuestra ciudad, la renuncia a la trama y la acción dramática, así como el despojamiento del escenario −como había hecho Stein en sus propias obras de teatro−, pero aún había de encontrar la forma definitiva para lo que quería decir. Diez años después de El puente de San Luis Rey , y a pesar de que seguía trabajando en El cielo, mi destino, esa forma definitiva tenía que permitirle desaparecer como autor de novelas para que la vida cotidiana, sobre la que no cabe la omnisciencia, ocupara el lugar que le correspondía.
Opening Sequences of Vietnamese Police-driver Traffic Enforcement Interactions
Authors: Nguyen Huong Thi Linh , Chau Dung Duc
Published: May 2020

This paper examines the opening sequence of police-driver encounters at traffic stops when the police officers state the reasons for the stop, or request documents. Data include 30 video-recorded encounters between Vietnamese police officers and drivers, and are analysed using the methodology of Conversation Analysis. The findings have shown that police officers wield their judicial authority and institutional power right at the outset of the interactions by leading the interaction in a narrowly focused policing agenda, and taking different conversational paths. We argue that these differences in interactional orders may decrease driver co-operation and compliance with police officer directions, and be highly likely to increase recidivism. The present study may give police officers some new ideas about how to behave towards drivers during traffic stops, thus improving police-driver interactions in the Vietnamese policing context as well as in other cultural contexts in some respects.

Three progressive tests were administered in the interval of seven class periods each. I taught for 25 days using content-based instruction method. The action research was conducted to find out the strengths and weaknesses of content-based instruction on teaching reading. After the completion of teaching, a post-test was administered .The results of both the tests were compared to determine the effectiveness of content-based instruction on teaching reading. Content-based instruction was found to be effective in teaching reading.
An Overview of Pragmatism and Pragmatism Assessment
Authors: Hashemi Ali , Daneshfar Samran
Published: May 2020

From the time Stalnaker (1974) asked for the development of a pragmatic theory to take into account a detailed explanation of linguistic context, still there is not an agreed-upon theory to explain pragmatic knowledge (Roever, 2011). Due to the vital importance of reliability and validity in language assessment, it is imperative to develop a construct definition for the tests of pragmatic knowledge to be more valid, authentic, and generalizable. In this paper, a short review of pragmatism as well as some issues in the assessment of the pragmatic competence, such as reliability, validity, and practicality, is presented.

Reconciliation or Alienation: The Representation of the Syrian Refugee Crisis in the Jordanian Print Media: Al-Ghad Newspaper as a Case Study
Authors: Al-Dabbagh Ula M. K. , Amro Hiba S.
Published: May 2020

The influx of Syrian refugees to Jordan is considered one of the most serious social events that the country has witnessed in decades. The unprecedented flow of refugees that received extensive coverage by the Jordanian print media played an instrumental role in shaping the representation of both the event and the actors involved in the crisis. This paper departs from the premise that news reports are “elements of social events” and as such employ language to change, maintain or inculcate the knowledge, beliefs and social relations shared by members of a society. To this end, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is adopted to investigate how Al-Ghad Newspaper uses language to represent and frame the Syrian refugee crisis and the Syrian refugees and considers whether this portrayal has contributed to the reconciliation or alienation of the Syrian refugees in the Jordanian society.
Estimation of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Lateral Dynamic Model with System Identification Approaches
Authors: BELGE Egemen , KABA Hızır , PARLAK Ahmet , ALTAN Aytaç , HACIOĞLU Rifat
Published: May 2020

Modeling of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with system identification is very important in terms of its model-based effective control. The modeling of UAV is required for aircraft crashes, analyzing autonomous aircrafts, preventing external disturbances, pre-flight analysis. However, since UAV has nonlinear inherent dynamics including inherent chaoticity and fractality, it becomes difficult to obtain a mathematical model under external disturbance. In this study, some of the inherent nonlinear dynamics of UAV are linearized and the model of UAV is obtained by system identification approaches under external disturbance. The linearized lateral dynamics of a fixed wing UAV is used in this study. Further, the flight motion equations applied to fixed wing UAV have been utilized for obtaining the coefficients of lateral model for straight and level flight. The roll angles are calculated using transfer functions for aileron, rudder and deflections inputs. The autoregressive exogenous (ARX), autoregressive moving average with exogenous (ARMAX) and output error (OE) parametric system identification approaches are performed to estimate UAV lateral dynamic system response as using empirical input-output data sets. The accuracy of parametric model estimation and model degrees are compared for different external disturbance effects.
Voltage Control of Cuk Converter with PI and Fuzzy Logic Controller in Continuous Current Mode
Authors: YILMAZ Mehmet , CORAPSİZ Muhammedfatih , ÇORAPSIZ Muhammed Reşit
Published: May 2020

In today's energy systems, many equipment operate with Direct Current (DC) voltage. However, it is not always possible to obtain the voltage level required for the operation of these equipment from standard power supplies. For this reason DC-DC converters are used to achieve the desired voltage values for equipment with different DC voltage levels. These converters are divided into three general categories, named Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost. The most preferred converter is the Cuk converter with low output ripple voltage, which can operate in both buck and boost modes. In this study, a detailed analysis of the Cuk converter, which is frequently used in Photovoltaic (PV) Panels was performed and different control methods of the output voltage were proposed. While performing this analysis, the dynamic model of the Cuk converter was created in which, Proportional-Integral (PI) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) are used to control the output voltage of the Cuk converter. The performances of both controllers were compared with respect to performance parameters such as steady state error, settling time and rise time. When the results obtained were evaluated as a whole, it was observed that FLC achieved the desired reference with less rise and settling time. In this study, modeling and controller applications of Cuk converter are realized by using MATLAB / SIMULINK program
Diversidades sexuales e identidades de género: entre la aceptación y el reconocimiento. Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES)
Authors: Rodríguez-Pizarro Alba Nubia , Rivera-Crespo Janet del Carmen
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the heteronormative logic that mainstreams relationships between the different actors constituting the university community (whose incongruity is expressed in everyday practice) and to raise the need to recognize and re-signify the relationships with people with non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities as a fundamental aspect for achieving gender justice. Which involves people, education institutions, and society in general. Although the emphasis is placed on non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities, a complex epistemological perspective is assumed in which gender and sexuality are intertwined with other patterns of domination such as ethnicity, race, social class, age, among other.
Vida que não merece viver: articulações sobre abandono escolar e masculinidades negras
Authors: Giugliani Beatriz
Published: May 2020

The essay aims to critically-interpretatively analyze the phenomenon of school lag of boys in relation to girls in high school, a theme in which gender-related factors are combined with race and class issues. In any case, admitting that black boys from poor sections of the population are the main victims of school failure, the discussion of the construction of racialized masculinities and the relationship they establish with the schooling process is imperative. The text has an argumentative character as it is restricted to the intersections between the political-scientific clashes of racial and gender relations, of black masculinities, of power relations, of subjectivities and racialized masculine identities, of state violence; all this based, effectively, on theoretical-empirical studies.

Authors: Vizcarra Sofia , Bonilla Diana , Prado Bertha
Published: May 2020

The fight against organized crime has become one of the priorities of the Peruvian State's criminal policy. As a result, the Peruvian government has approved different measures to control this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to describe, from a theoretical and empirical approach, the overall picture of the manifestations of organized crime in Peru and the State's responses to control it. In this context, it is proposed to identify the existence, or not, of sufficient elements to configure an efficient general policy against organized crime. In order to do so, a legislation and records review was carried out, which allows to critically assess the progress and challenges of the State's responses to face and sustain a more efficient policy of control and fight against criminal organizations in Peru.

Authors: Goldin Déborah
Published: May 2020

This article analyses the implications of the Neighborhood Police Program incorporation in the identification processes of the Córdoba Police Department’s lower ranks in Argentina (2016-2017). Thus, the paper analyzes the ways in which the incorporation of this new unit enables landslides regarding the traditional police ideal. Considering the Police force as a key agency in the implementation of new crime prevention policies, this study considers the importance of analyzing the effects of government initiatives on the members of the institution as a starting point. It is a qualitative research based on the analysis of secondary sources and exploratory, semi‑structured interviews to police officers in operative areas. Here, the main characteristics of this program and the changes in the labor conditions for those that began to be part of this unit are described. Furthermore, the ways of police intervention legitimated and the desirable aptitudes for a policeman are also problematized.
Migración, miedos y medios en la elección presidencial en Chile (2017)
Authors: Dammert Lucía , Erlandsen Matthias
Published: May 2020

Migration has been defined as the threatening other in Latin America; Chile is no exception. Based on the conceptualization of the imagined community, this article analyzes the importance and characteristics of press media coverage on migration and punitive populism in the framework of the Presidential election of 2017 in Chile. A random sample of all the informative pieces of the two main newspapers throughout 2017 was analyzed. Migration has become a topic of national debate. The media show a political discourse focused on punitive populism, the unnecessary generalization of stigmatizing images, and the consolidation of a metaphor that links migration with danger, mainly criminality. The more chronic-oriented than analysis-oriented characteristic of the coverage makes it possible to emphasize in the threatening and politically profitable images. Possibly trying to protect that community that the political discourse constantly highlights.

Archives have traditionally been the result of individual or collective decisions taken on political, institutional or business grounds in order to preserve documents and make these accessible for use. In the current digital ‘era of plenty,’ which enables an unprecedented creation of, and access to archival content, it seems that the very definition of an archive and its usage is being challenged. As a journal that aims to bring together archival expertise and academic knowledge on television history and culture and the role of archives in mediating the past, VIEW is proud to present an entire issue dedicated to ‘Archive Based Productions.’ Unlike other issues, this issue features the most contributions written by archive professionals, which can be found in the Discovery section of our journal. These archival discoveries complement the more scholarly explorations, which offer a broader perspective on archives as ‘launch pads’ for new productions.
'Plundering' the Archive and the Recurring Joys of Television
Authors: Kerrigan Lisa
Published: May 2020

The seemingly unlimited digital landscape and the current proliferation of the use of archive footage on British television invite the notion that the appreciation of archive material as a historical object is a rather contemporary popular development. It seems unusual then, to find a series devoted to archive television in the mid 1960s. Largely showing excerpts from 1950s programmes, Plunder recalled what presenter Michell Raper called 'the vanished joys of television'. This article will detail the use of archive footage within the series and consider the programme’s configuration of the idea of the 'archive'.
Compiling European Immigration History
Authors: Meuzelaar Andrea
Published: May 2020

Today television's reliance on archival footage seems to be intensifying due to the increased accessibility of European broadcast archives and the increased amount of available digitized broadcast material. In this article, the author reflects on television's convention to compile stories from archival material by presenting a case-study of a recently broadcast Dutch television series Land of Promise (2014). This series narrates the history of European post-war immigration, and is constructed from archival material from various European broadcast archives. In this article the author analyses the compilation strategy of Land of Promise, and assesses what kind of European immigration history the series has articulated through the selection and juxtaposition of archival footage.
Authorship, Autobiography and the Archive
Authors: Kerr Paul
Published: May 2020

In 2004, documentary theorist Michael Renov described ‘the recent turn to filmic autobiography’ as ‘the defining trend of “post-verite” documentary practice...’ In 2008 Renov went further still, suggesting that ‘the very idea of autobiography challenges/reinvents the VERY IDEA of documentary.’ Archive based autobiographical filmmaking, meanwhile, is even more problematic for documentary theory. Indeed, a number of recent documentaries, because of their status somewhere in the spectrum between biography and autobiography, have prompted the construction of an entirely new conceptual category, deploying archival film, often in the form of home movies, to document the lives of their human subjects in Renov’s formulation ‘shared textual authority’. In this article I examine one of ‘my’ own archive based documentaries, ‘Marilyn on Marilyn’ (BBC2 2001), as a way of asking questions not just about biographical and autobiographical documentary but also - and perhaps more urgently - about attributions of authorship in archive-based documentary.
The Television Archive on BBC Four
Authors: Goblot Vana
Published: May 2020

Reusing audiovisual archive material is a growing trend on television and has many purposes, ranging for commercial to more ‘purely’ social and cultural ones. Focusing on the uses of the television archive on BBC Four, the BBC’s ‘custodian of archive’ and digital channel for arts, culture and ideas, this article examines a selection of archive rich programmes shown on the channel, in order to explore the ways in which the television archive is becoming indispensible in programme making. Based on interviews with BBC Four programme makers, the article further posits that memory, nostalgia, aesthetic and moral judgement and, crucially, self-reflexivity are at play in archive-based programme making, and propose three distinct production approaches – interpretative, interventional and imaginative – all of which contribute differently to the television archive’s being seen as a ‘creative tool’.
Transforming 'Female' Programmes

Contemporary Italian digital channels explicitly targeting women (suchas Real Time, Lei, Fox Life, La5, and La7d) represent a privilegedobservatory for some general trends in the international circulation ofcontent and incorporation of foreign formats into national television (TV).In fact, their schedules rely heavily on the genre of factual entertainment,which was first devised and used in international contexts, such as the UKand the US, and only in the second phase was imported into other national TVenvironments. After introducing this scenario and the main issues connectedto the circulation of international content on these channels, the articlewill focus on the BBC docu-reality Don’t Tell the Bride. The show wasextensively circulated (UK and US versions) in the circuit of Italian womenchannels before a national version was produced by the pay-TV brand Lei. Thearticle will reflect on how the national version Non ditelo alla sposa addedfurther shades to the original meaning of the format. While theinternational version only allowed the Italian audience to engage with theprogramme through a romantic and escapist approach, the local adaptationinserted practical advice in the storytelling on how to arrange a low budgetyet traditional wedding day, coupled with the sarcastic and ironic points ofview of the characters involved.
Remembering Operación Triunfo

Published: May 2020

The music format Operación Triunfo (2001–2011), which aired on RTVE for the first time in 2001, started as a television (TV) and musical success in Spain and today is one of the most famous shows around the world as well as an incredible socio-economic phenomenon in Spanish TV. This paper describes the format concept and results. Both commercial and social aspects are introduced to understand why, after 15 years, it is remembered with nostalgia and remains a shining example of a good communication project and a perfect balance between the global and the local, despite the lack of great success in the following years in Spain and abroad.
Rising Star: A Game-Changing Format in a Dying Genre
Authors: Schiffmann Merav
Published: May 2020

In the TV industry everyone is constantly searching for ‘the next big hit.’ For a brief moment in time, Rising Star perfectly fit this description. Within days of the Israeli launch of the first season, the format had already sold internationally to major territories. Rising Star boasted a first of its kind audience participation and a real-time live experience. This caught the attention of producers, executives and creators everywhere. This was a game-changing concept, set to shake the genre of reality singing competition shows to the core. The case study discussed in this paper examines the creation stages of a transmedia television format, the strains effecting its development, its rapid global roll-out and the international adaptations, primarily the failure on the US market and its negative ripple effect.
Will the Sun Rise?
Authors: Murakoshi Takeshi
Published: May 2020

This article illustrates the TV format business in Japan, which has a 60-year history of TV broadcasting and is the second biggest market in the world; however, it is still a small player in the business. The article examines the elements which prevent the international sale of more TV formats and suggests possible solutions. To meet the objectives, this study presents the following research: 1) a questionnaire to ask TV content buyers about the problems and strong points of Japanese TV formats, 2) semi-structured interviews with Japanese TV format sellers via email, 3) semi-structured interviews with TV format experts, and 4) archival research. As a result, this study found that the elements that prevent Japan from developing the TV format business include their unique presentation style in light entertainment shows, called ‘variety show style’, an inability to adjust this structure to the international market, and traditional Japanese-styled business practices. As possible solutions, this article suggests 1) introducing flying producers, 2) changing the business structure, 3) buying foreign TV formats, and 4) taking risks.

The TV industry has traditionally relied on advertising and subscription fees for revenue. Recently, brand extensions and co-branding strategies have been rediscovered as income sources. A prominent example of such a strategy is the TV format Dragons’ Den, which has been locally produced in many different countries. We use this intriguing case to explore the extensive and intricate co-branding relationships and brand extensions in the business-to-consumer and the business-to-business settings of TV companies. Our paper analyses global adaptations and cultural branding of Dragons’Den; in particular, brand extensions and co-branding strategies.
Critically Acclaimed and Cancelled
Authors: Wayne Michael L.
Published: May 2020

This article uses The Bridge (FX, 2013–2014), an adaptation of the Danish-Swedish series Broen/Bron (SVT1/DR1, 2011-), to explore the ways in which the brand identities of channels shape the adaptation process for scripted television formats. By situating The Bridge in the broader context of FX’s effort to maintain a coherent brand identity, the author argues that producers were not attempting to repurpose Broen/Bron’s narrative for the American audience. Rather, the network wanted to provide its traditionally young and masculine audience with another ‘muscular’ crime series while appealing to additional demographics in the hopes of expanding the channel’s overall viewership.
Story, History and Intercultural Memory

Published: May 2020

How can transmedia storytelling benefit to a documentary production in order to give historical archives a second life? Could it possibly help updating official archives, adding to the them amateur’s contributions? We will try to answer the question by recalling some recent European experiences of Web-documentaries linked to television series. This will allows us to extrapolate a few theoretical fundamentals underlying the design of our transcontinental transmedia collaborative project of archive-based documentary – Histories of Brazil. Our aim is to show how a transmedia approach to archive-based content, intervening in contemporary digital interconnected environments, can work as a dynamic complementary tool for developing and sharing historical knowledge.
Interactive Graphic Journalism
Authors: Schlichting Laura
Published: May 2020

This paper examines graphic journalism (GJ) in a transmedial context, and argues that transmedial graphic journalism (TMGJ) is an important and fruitful new form of visual storytelling, that will re-invigorate the field of journalism, as it steadily tests out and plays with new media, ultimately leading to new challenges in both the production and reception process. With TMGJ, linear narratives may be broken up and ethical issues concerning the emotional and entertainment value are raised when it comes to ‘playing the news’. The aesthetic characteristics of TMGJ will be described and interactivity’s influence on non-fiction storytelling will be explored in an analysis of The Nisoor Square Shooting (2011) and Ferguson Firsthand (2015).
Small Change – Big Difference
Authors: Freeman Matthew
Published: May 2020

This article analyses transmedia as a non-fictional social phenomenon, discussing the significance of participation, documentary, and community media. Specifically, the article conceptualises transmedia through the lens of charity politics. To do so, I use the Comic Relief charity campaign in the UK to trace how the socials traditions, ways of life and sensibilities associated with Red Nose Day have evolved into emerging digital technologies to shape this charity campaign across the borders of multiple media platforms. Embracing how social specificity informs non-fictional transmedia, I position ‘infotainment’ as a key conceptual basis of non-fictional transmedia, showing how audiences follow the ‘ethos’ of Red Nose Day across multiple media.
Emergent Principles for Digital Documentary
Authors: Lachman Richard
Published: May 2020

Digital Documentaries are an area of rapid invention and experimentation at all levels, including creative content, production techniques, and business models. As with many forms of digital storytelling, a focus on technologies can be distracting; platforms change rapidly, and are dependent on external commercial forces rather than creative potential. This article presents several design strategies for driving experimentation in digital documentary above and beyond the specific of platform and technology. The core focus is on treating digital docs as experiences, with an expanded range of designable moments, as well as a strategic approach to designing interactions for their unique set of challenges. The discussion is not intended to fully define digital documentary design factors, but rather, defines a useful subset of methods that can lead emerging practitioners to new innovations in their approach.
Korsakow Perspective(s)
Authors: Weidle Franziska
Published: May 2020

In “linear documentary land”, we are trained to see stories everywhere we look. As noted by Grasseni and Walter (2014), digital media affordances encourage reflections on this particular “schooling of the eye”, the power relations it is embedded in as well as the creation of counter-practices. Indeed, many artists, media practitioners and scholars advocate interactivity as a different, possibly more “authentic“, representative strategy for documentary. Drawing on my ethnographic study of the Korsakow-System, this paper analyses a software as part of a situated visual knowledge practice that challenges story as primary organizing principle in computational networked environments.

This study provides a glimpse into the cultural history of this popular medium for the period 1944-2016. From the “golden age” of communist era television during which TV was hailed as a main cultural force for education and entertainment and simultaneously taunted as a tool of propaganda, censorship and political control, we will trace the unprecedented “boom” in commercial TV channels at the offset of the transition, with its often questionable quality, leading to the emergence of several serious contenders on the broadcasting scene, both in terms of their financial value and in terms of power over public opinion.

This article discusses the corporate strategy of one of the most successful television production companies in Norway: Rubicon TV. Based on a historical analysis from the company’s establishment in the early 1990s until today, the article illuminates how Rubicon TV has navigated in and contributed to the changing Norwegian television landscape. Rubicon TV has gone from a supplier of popular and provocative programmes to a small group of Norwegian broadcasters to a truly digital and global industrial force which produces linear ‘flow’ programmes as well as web-TV and streaming series for both national and international players.
‘The growing practice of calling in continental film groups’
Authors: Payne Alison
Published: May 2020

While the development of commercial television advertising in Britain is often framed in the context of the American model, this paper will argue that London advertising agencies looked across the Channel to French and Dutch production companies and personnel, particularly in the first five years of commercial television, from 1955-1960. Using case studies, this paper will illustrate the involvement of these Continental companies and personnel on the production of advertising films for British commercial television, and identify the reasons why they were replaced by their British counterparts from the early 60s.
Russia’s STS Television Network
Authors: Brassard Jeffrey
Published: May 2020

Little attention has been given to privately owned television channels in Russia though they now rival the state-run networks in importance. The most influential network in post-Soviet television history is the entertainment network STS. Using the framework of critical media industry studies proposed by Havens, Lotz and Tinic this paper traces the history of STS, its importance in bringing new genres and production techniques to Russia and its rapid growth in the 2000s. Particular attention is given to questions of hybridity, interactions with global media industries and the network’s attempt to build formats for the global market.

Launched in 1995, the Dutch music television channel The Music Factory (TMF) presented a local alternative to MTV Europe, owned by the US-based conglomerate Viacom. In 2001, Viacom took over TMF, which by then proved to be far more popular than MTV Europe among the Dutch young viewers. Ten years later, Viacom discontinued the TMF brand. This article places the relatively short history of TMF within the contexts of American and globalization, the expansion of European television from nationally based public broadcasters to commercial pan-European television networks, and the shift from television to other media platforms as the dominant form of distributing music videos.

Стаття присвячена актуальним питанням дослідження конструктивних схем багатоповерхових будівель. Проектування висотних будівель будь-якого призначення починається з вирішення основного завдання – вибору конструктивної системи виходячи з функціонально-технологічних вимог. Вибір конструктивної системи визначає роль кожного несучого конструктивного елемента в об’ємно-просторовій структурі будівлі. Умовно всі конструктивні системи можна поділити на основні чотири типи: тип I – каркасна; тип II – каркасна з діафрагмами жорсткості; тип III – стовбурна; тип IV – коробчаста (оболонкова). Комбіновані схеми мають більшу конструктивну гнучкість завдяки можливості розподілу частин зусиль за рахунок змінної жорсткості несучих елементів. Відповідно до розподілу навантажень, в’язі висотних будівель. поділяють на горизонтальні та вертикальні. Горизонтальні забезпечують утворення в висотних будівлях жорстких дисків, які розподіляють зовнішні силові дії між елементами, перешкоджають закручуванню каркаса, виходу із площини елементів і зменшують згинальні моменти. Вертикальні в’язі надають жорсткість при дії горизонтальних навантажень вертикальним елементам будівлі, які з’єднують диски перекриттів.
