In this paper, we examine context ride-sharing ongoing struggle over legitimacy between taxi industry entrants Lyft. We first sketch...

During times of crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic, digital platforms are under public scrutiny to guarantee users’ online safety and wellbeing. Following inconsistencies in how moderate content behavior, governments around world putting pressure on them curb spread illegal lawful harmful behavior (e.g., UK’s Draft Online Safety Bill). These efforts, though, mainly focus overt abuse false information, which misses more mundane social media practices racial stereotyping that equally popular...

This study tests Teece's conceptualization of dynamic capabilities in the context small and medium-size firms competing creative industries, particular European audiovisual production industry. industry is characterized by immature evolving markets where firms' are expected to lead superior innovative performance. Using survey data from producers ten countries we find that both sensing seizing have a positive effect on The effect, however, curvilinear, effects appear after when overcome...

AbstractMany newspapers and magazines have added "social media features" to their web-based information services in order allow users participate the production of content. This study examines specific impact firm's investment social features on online business models. We make a comparative case four Scandinavian print firms that services. show how lead model innovation, particularly linked firms' value propositions. The paper discusses repercussions this transformation relationship with...

Abstract Using weekly music charts data in 10 countries over the period 1990–2015, we analyze whether digitization leads to a trend of homogenization content or conversely greater acoustic disparity. We split era four periods that correspond new emblematic distribution models (Napster, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify). Our main result is while diversity decreased during iTunes and YouTube periods, begins with introduction audio streaming services, such as Spotify, represents turning point marked by...

Abstract This study, based on Swedish data from three elections (2002, 2006 and 2010) a revised version of Clayman's Heritage's conceptualization aggressive questioning, examines bias in election campaign interviews with leading political figures. In the first part prevalence partisan is explored, this analysis confirms that such does not exist. Informed by Conversation Analysis, limited number are investigated second part. also involves questions scripted journalists, it compares both...

Abstract For several decades now, Sweden has been successful in the worldwide popular music arena. This article explores how Sweden, as an integral part of global industry, able to cope with changed market conditions brought about by regulatory changes and digital technologies.

The production of culture is today a matter 'user generated content' and young people are vital participants as 'prosumers', i.e. both producers consumers, cultural products. Among other things, they busy creating fan works (stories, pictures, films) based on already published material. Using the genre fiction point departure, this article explores drivers behind net communities organised around argues that sites can in many aspects be regarded informal learning settings. By turning to...

In the steel industry it is of great importance to be able control surface temperature and heating or cooling rates during heat treatment processes. this paper, a slab heated up 1300°C in an industrial reheating furnace data are recorded process. The transient local temperature, flux effective transfer coefficient ares calculated using model for inverse conduction. temperatures compared with achieved by process help software STEELTEMP® 2D. results obtained show very good agreement suggest...

Using data provided by leading platform France from more than 140,000 unique users during six months (436 million streams), we static effects change remuneration model...

The present work presents methodology and development of a mathematical model for prediction the influence oxide scale on heat transfer during reheating steel in an industrial furnace. In this developed model, temperatures inside billet were measured with thermocouples at selected places collected by water cooled computer that was traveling slab. CFD is used to calculate flow field mass-transfer coefficient formation obtained solving convection mass-diffusion equation across boundary layer...

IFPI, trade organization representing international recording industry, identifies a number exogenous factors as main drivers downturn. This article suggests that other factors, addition those identified may have contributed difficulties. A model...

With the rise of geo-social media, location is emerging as a particularly sensitive data point for big and digital media research. To explore this area, we reflect on our ethics study in which analyze generated via an app that facilitates public sex among men who have with men. The ethical sensitivities around are further heightened context research into such sexual cultures. Public cultures involving operate both spaces “meant” (e.g., gay saunas dark rooms) “not meant” shopping centers...
