TeamLab : au-delà de quelles limites ? Le numérique à la portée des publics
2019
L’article va étudier l’exposition « TeamLab : au-delà des limites », qui s’est déroulée à la Halle de la Villette à Paris du 15 mai au 9 septembre 2018. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence les nouveaux usages et les expériences induits au visiteur par cette exposition temporaire qualifiée d’immersive entièrement construite sur des outils numériques. Peut-on encore parler d’exposition ? L’emploi d’interfaces conviviales permet-il de dépasser les barrières culturelles et valoriser le pays mis à l’honneur dans ce parcours exploratoire : le Japon ? This text intends to study the « TeamLab : beyond the limits » exhibition which took place at the Halle de la Villette in Paris from 15 May to 9 Septemb…
Great expectations: Learning the boundaries of design rights
2019
We present a case study of an increase in design right filings and concurrent design right litigations in an industry that previously had little experience of design right protection. The motives for and outcomes of filing, and how these changed over time are discussed. We go on to explore the events, which offered the decision makers opportunities to update their beliefs about the scope of design right protection. We find that filing motives changed from specific protection goals to freedom to operate over time. We also find that the actors faced several, but sometimes contradictory, learning opportunities. There are two types of learning relating to the usage of design rights: 1) learning…
El pluralismo polarizado ante la nueva política y el columnismo digital
2020
El modelo de pluralismo polarizado del sistema mediático español se caracteriza por un periodismo ideológicamente alineado con los principales partidos políticos. Ello se ha traducido en que, en los géneros de opinión, la interpretación sosegada haya sido sacrificada en favor de un discurso dirigido a enjuiciar la realidad y movilizar ideológicamente a las audiencias. Este trabajo aborda las posibles transformaciones en el sistema mediático español como consecuencia de la irrupción de nuevos partidos y de los medios digitales. Con ese objetivo, se han sometido a un análisis cualitativo las columnas de opinión publicadas en dos de los principales cibermedios españoles, Eldiario.es, donde fir…
Crecimiento económico y productividad en Latinoamérica. El proyecto LA-KLEMS
2017
Antecedentes: El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el crecimiento económico, la productividad y sus determinantes en cinco países de América Latina (Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia y México) durante el periodo 1990-2010. Este análisis se aplica tanto a la economía agregada como a nueve sectores de actividad económica. Metodología: Se utiliza una nueva base de datos, LA-KLEMS, que servirá como herramienta fundamental para la investigación empírica y teórica en el área de crecimiento económico y productividad para América Latina. Las variables se organizan en torno a la metodología de contabilidad del crecimiento, que proporciona un marco conceptual claro para el análisis coherente de …
Profiling Evil from Narrative Journalism: the troubling cohabitation between the brutal and the human
2018
Este artículo analiza el retrato poliédrico de la maldad que ofrecen los catorce perfiles sobre asesinos múltiples, torturadores, traficantes o violadores incluidos en la obra colectiva Los malos (Guerriero, 2015). El estudio aborda desde el comparatismo periodístico-literario cómo la combinación de las técnicas de investigación y acceso a la información del periodismo y las posibilidades expresivas y compositivas de la literatura favorecen el acercamiento a lo inaprensible. Los retratos analizados exploran las zonas oscuras de la condición humana, indagan en la tenebrosa dualidad de personas comunes y corrientes capaces de alcanzar grados de atrocidad extremos. Lo hacen desde una óptica mu…
Does reviewing experience reduce disagreement in proposals evaluation? Insights from Marie Skłodowska-Curie and COST Actions
2021
Abstract We have limited understanding of why reviewers tend to strongly disagree when scoring the same research proposal. Thus far, research that explored disagreement has focused on the characteristics of the proposal or the applicants, while ignoring the characteristics of the reviewers themselves. This article aims to address this gap by exploring which reviewer characteristics most affect disagreement among reviewers. We present hypotheses regarding the effect of a reviewer’s level of experience in evaluating research proposals for a specific granting scheme, that is, scheme reviewing experience. We test our hypotheses by studying two of the most important research funding programmes i…
The changing paradigm of document delivery : exploring researchers’ peer to peer practices
2016
Purpose By definition, interlibrary lending is a process involving two libraries. The digital revolution changed the method by which the scientific documents were disseminated during the past couple of decades. Nowadays, researchers can exploit several software applications that enable them to upload, save and deliver their documents from one peer to another without the need for a middle man. This paper reviews this change via a study conducted in two Finnish academic universities. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which researchers have adopted these new possibilities for document dissemination and how this change will affect the role of the libraries in document delive…
Connecting others: Does a tertius iungens orientation shape the relationship between research networks and innovation?
2021
Research on social networks and innovation emphasizes that individuals spanning structural holes and crossing institutional boundaries have more opportunities for knowledge recombination and innovation involvement. However, transforming the potential knowledge and resources available through personal networks to attain innovation can be difficult for the focal individual. Using an ego-network approach, this study examines whether and to what extent an individual strategic orientation to cooperation (i.e. tertius iungens) contributes to strengthening the relation between two personal network properties (structural and institutional separation) and involvement in innovation. Our analysis is c…
The new face of university–business cooperation in Finland
2016
This paper analyses the development of university-business cooperation (UBC) in Finland in the context of the University Reform Act of 2009, drawing on the experience of four universities: Aalto University, University of Jyvaskyla, University of Turku, and Lappeenranta University of Technology. Six UBC dimensions are examined: institutional context, stakeholders, motivations, facilitators/inhibitors, benefits, and drawbacks. We find that UBC, while a relatively recent process, is growing fast in dynamic local innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. The University Act of 2009 had an uneven effect on the six UBC dimensions, with the most visible impact being manifested on motivations. Aal…
Can we automate expert-based journal rankings? Analysis of the Finnish publication indicator
2020
The publication indicator of the Finnish research funding system is based on a manual ranking of scholarly publication channels. These ranks, which represent the evaluated quality of the channels, are continuously kept up to date and thoroughly reevaluated every four years by groups of nominated scholars belonging to different disciplinary panels. This expert-based decision-making process is informed by available citation-based metrics and other relevant metadata characterizing the publication channels. The purpose of this paper is to introduce various approaches that can explain the basis and evolution of the quality of publication channels, i.e., ranks. This is important for the academic …
