The Economic Impact of the Creative Industry in the European Union
2018
This work analyses the economic impact of the creative industry in the European Union. The paper quantifies the direct and indirect impacts of the creative industry, concluding that they not only have a direct impact on the employment and the production, but also contributes to the technological progress and long-term development of the European Union. Most of this contribution is due to the creative service industries, whereas the direct contribution of the creative manufacturing industries is smaller.
Product Placement in Video Games as a Marketing Strategy: An Attempt to Analysis in Disney Company
2011
What is the best marketing strategy in video games? The literature is not unanimous in upholding the best strategy. Researchers investigating advertising effectiveness disagree on the value of product placement in video games and the methods firms should use with product placement strategies. The state of the question now must figure out the dichotomy between two perspectives: to identify the differences in the effectiveness of product placement in video games when using “traditional placement approaches” compared to the “branded entertainment approach”. The “traditional approach” to product placement in video games involves the product appearing as a visual object that is passive, used by …
An overview about fashion retailing sector: UK versus Spain
2012
Within the international context, fashion retailers have suffered the most in the economic downturn in the last years. Nevertheless, the historically high-margin fashion sectors composite net profit margin was still the highest of all the product groups. Based on the importance of fashion retail sector for the international economy in general, this paper examines the international retailing situation showing sales data between most important retailers around the world in general and Europe in particular. Specifically, this paper offers an overview on fashion retailing sector in the international context in order to study the position of this sector in the international crisis context. Due t…
Monográfico. Cine: Arte e industria. [DOI:10.37785/nw.v4n2.a6]
2020
En 1895, en plena segunda revolución industrial, el cine emprendió su andadura con la patente del “cine- matógrafo” de los hermanos Lumière, un ingenio que, gracias a un procedimiento mecánico, permitía no solo la captación de imágenes “reales” –como lo hiciera en su momento la fotografía, pero esta vez añadiéndoles movimiento– sino también la proyección de esa continuidad de imágenes impresionadas. No cabe la menor duda de que con el objeto nació una industria, item est, una actividad lucrativa que explotaba la novedosa invención técnica con el fin de producir bienes comerciables que ofertar a la ociosa sociedad burguesa de finales del s. XIX y principios del s. XX. Rápid…
770 A comparative european analysis of the link between work stressors and worker outcomes
2018
Introduction Given the changing nature of employment, including the long term shift from manufacturing and agriculture to the service sector, an increasing proportion of the workforce is engaged in employment which is less physically demanding but which brings with it a range of stress-related and psycho-social risks. Eurofound (2006) estimated that in 2005, 20% of EU-15 workers reported health related risk due to work-related stress and the EU OSHA (2007) has identified high emotional demands and work intensification as key emerging psychosocial risks for the occupational health and safety of workers. Methods This paper draws on the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey to examine differ…
Sport and Quality of Life
2022
Negli ultimi trent’anni lo sport ha assunto un significato molto rilevante nella vita delle persone e, seppure con notevoli differenze, sia nei paesi a sviluppo economico avanzato, sia in quelli in via di sviluppo. A livello individuale, esso ha costituito un’area di investimento identitario quando ha assunto la forma di sport spettacolo del quale fruire, alimentando la pratica del tifo e il fandom o costituendo il modello di uno stile di vita vincente; ma anche quando ha assunto la forma di pratica del tempo libero attraverso la quale tenersi in forma, facendo crescere, in questo caso, la diffusione di una cultura della salute e del benessere. Si tratta di due modalità di approcciare al co…
CeRNA and interactome bioinformatic analyses on human telomerase
2014
We present a classic interactome bioinformatic analysis and a study on competing endogenous (ce) RNAs for hTERT. The hTERT gene codes for the catalytic subunit and limiting component of the human telomerase complex. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is essential for the integrity of telomeres. Telomere dysfunctions have been widely reported to be involved in aging, cancer, and cellular senescence. The hTERT gene network has been analyzed using the BioGRID interaction database (http://thebiogrid.org/) and related analysis tools such as Osprey (http://biodata.mshri.on.ca/osprey/servlet/Index) and GeneMANIA (http://genemania.org/). The network of interaction of hTERT transcripts h…
Something Borrowed : Interfigural Characterisation in Anglo-American Fantasy Comics
2016
It is no secret that comics’ formal structure resembles a pastiche: images, words and gaps of different styles and abstraction levels mix to tell a story that is more than their sum. Is it any wonder, then, that modern, myth-driven graphic novels tend to borrow their content elements – such as characters – from several heterogeneous sources as well? Wolfgang G. Müller's little-known but widely applicable theory of interfigurality (1991) shows how literary characters gain depth and resonance by sharing elements with characters in other works. The chapter revises his theory and shows how it could also be used in the analysis of comic book characters. Fantasy comics from Vertigo series like Fa…
Combining Neopentyllithium with Potassium tert-Butoxide: Formation of an Alkane-Soluble Lochmann-Schlosser Superbase.
2016
Mixtures of alkyllithium and heavier alkali-metal alkoxides are often used to form alkyl compounds of heavier alkali metals, but these mixtures are also known for their high reactivity in deprotonative metalation reactions. These organometallic mixtures are often called LiC-KOR superbases, but despite many efforts their constitution remains unknown. Herein we present mixed alkali-metal alkyl/alkoxy compounds produced by reaction of neopentyllithium with potassium tert-butoxide. The key to success was the good solubility and temperature-stability of neopentyl alkali-metal compounds, leading to hexane-soluble mixtures, which allowed handling at ambient temperatures and isolation by crystalliz…
