Double Exposure examines the role of film in shaping social psychology's landmark postwar experiments. We are told that most of us will inflict electric shocks on a fellow citizen when ordered to do so. Act as a brutal prison guard when we put on a uniform. Walk on by when we see a stranger in need. But there is more to the story. Documentaries that investigators claimed as evidence were central to capturing the public imagination. Did they provide an alibi for twentieth century humanity? Examining the dramaturgy, staging and filming of these experiments, including Milgram's Obedience Experiments, the Stanford Prison Experiment and many more, Double Exposure recovers a new set of narratives.

The article investigates the image of the city of Madrid and its relationship with the tourist gaze in non-Spanish-speaking films shot between 1955 and 2020. For the research, 606 clips from a selection of 40 feature films have been geolocated and analyzed. The study shows the distribution of filming locations in different areas of the city, with relevant contrasts between the historic center of Madrid and other areas such as the Ensanche and the peripheral areas. Finally, it reflects on the relationship between the most frequent locations and the commonly recognized tourist landmarks in Madrid.

Highlighting Florida's essential, often overlooked role in shaping American film and television Motion Picture Paradise is a sweeping story of filmmaking in Florida, featuring the activities of studios and filmmakers across the peninsula by looking at the many iconic films and television shows shot in the state. In the early years of the American film industry, Florida was a favorite location for pioneer movie makers, and David Morton chronicles the state's importance to producers throughout the next 125 years. Often overshadowed by the well-known entertainment industries of Hollywood and New York, Florida has over time had several major film production centers. Morton follows the rise and fall of filmmaking destinations across the state, including Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Miami, as well as pioneering underwater and location-based films shot at Florida's unique natural springs. He argues that conflicting policies set by Florida politicians have, at various times, enticed or pushed away movie and television companies, a pattern that has hampered serious investment. Using a wealth of source materials, Morton offers a comprehensive history that demonstrates how films and television shows made in Florida have influenced the state's sense of identity, drawing attention to Florida's underacknowledged role as the \"third coast\" in American film history. Motion Picture Paradise adds new insights into the state's dramatic social and economic transformations during the twentieth century.

Purpose The physical filmmaking landscape has been transformed by the emergence of digital platforms that foster interaction and dialogue. The accessibility and affordability of mobile production tools have empowered anyone with a mobile phone to become a media content creator. Accordingly, this paper aims to present a multi-method approach for creating phygital projects that involve people as active participants rather than mere subjects who collaborate with the researchers to tell their stories. Design/methodology/approach Research participants can embrace diverse roles, serving as co-researchers, content creators, curators and collaborators. The authors use various engagement strategies with the research participants, who are often marginalized or underrepresented, to encourage their participation and give them agency and creative control. Thus, we also use a participatory action research approach to help advocate for the participants’ facial equality concerns. Findings Collaborative videography embraces the mosaic of voices expressing intricate social issues. In this project, research participants with “facial differences” explain their experiences in facing society. Originality/value By experimenting with participatory frameworks and combining physical interactions (such as in-person meetings) with digital platforms like Zoom and social media, the authors suggest a multi-method approach that honors the authentic stories of the research participants, effectively engages the audience and explains how phygital research methodologies can be used in interpretive consumer research, particularly in co-creating films that capture strong visuals.

The effects of pre-filming potential on the electrochemical characteristics and structure of the passivation film of 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) in 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated by electrochemical technology and XPS methods. The results showed that when the pre-filming potentials were 0.1 and 0.6 V, the formation process of passivation film was first porous and then dense. However, when the potential rose to 0.9 V, the passivation film eventually underwent an additional porous process. The passivation films pre-formed at different potentials were all bilayer structures. The passivation film of 2205DSS was composed of an inner rich-Cr oxide and an outer rich-Fe oxide. When the pre-filming potential was 0.9 V, FeOOH appeared in the iron-rich oxide layer. The semiconductor properties of the passivation film were independent of the pre-filming potential. With the increase in pre-filming potential, the diffusion coefficient and diffusion flux of the cation vacancies increased, and the migration of cationic vacancies in passivation films became easier.

The increase of low-cost technology for underwater filming has made quantitative analysis an affordable resource for swimming coaches on a frequent basis. In this context, a synthesis of the kinematic determinants of underwater undulatory swimming (UUS) seems to be lacking. The aim of the present study was to synthesise the scientific evidence on the kinematic characteristics of competitive swimmers during UUS and the main kinematic determinants of UUS performance, as well as to summarise the main methodological considerations for UUS kinematic analysis. A systematic literature search was performed through four electronic databases following the PRISMA guidelines and STROBE for evaluating the quality of the included studies. Twenty-three research studies from the first search and two from the second search were finally considered. In total, 412 competitive swimmers (321 males and 91 females) with a performance standard of international B (11%), national (51%), or regional (35%) level were analysed. Most studies focused on a two-dimensional analysis of the ventral UUS performed from a push start and filmed 6–12 m from the starting wall. Kinematic analysis of UUS included kicking parameters (kicking length, frequency, and amplitude) as well as selected segmental kinematics in 76% of studies and the analysis of UUS performance determinants in 36%. Information about the determinants of UUS performance was inconsistent due in part to inconsistencies in the definition of kinematic parameters. Further research studies where automatic motion capture systems are applied to the analysis of UUS on the aforementioned conditions should be conducted.

In this paper, I use the idea of a 'take' to indicate that I have looked again at previous moments in a long-term participatory video for research project to 'rethink' them from a different perspective now. My aims in doing this are to acknowledge the recent increase in critical engagements with participatory video, to raise concerns about uncritical uses of Western realist film production conventions and to call for renewed scrutiny of our methodological practice as researchers. I look at the conventions of 'white balancing' and 'framing the horizon' within a wider suite of film production techniques to argue that even when applied within a participatory epistemology, they inevitably develop a particular way of looking for participants and researchers that is ambivalent, rather than feminist, in its effects. The paper concludes by suggesting that as geographers (and other social scientists), we would do well to be more cautious of participatory video, and more circumspect in the claims we make about its empowering effects, including its ability to enable a feminist practice of looking.

Prefilming air-blast atomizers are widely used in modern gas turbine combustors. Due to insufficient awareness of the coupling mechanism of multi-stage swirling flow in gas turbines, there is a lack of effective methods for flow field optimization in combustor. In this study, the effect of some critical parameters on the flow field of a prefilming air-blast atomizer was analyzed with CFD. The parameters include the angle and number of the first swirler blades, the angle of the second swirler blades and the angle of sleeve. Furthermore, the coupling mechanism of two-stage swirling airflows of prefilming air-blast atomizer was discussed. Moreover, the influence of the interaction between two-stage counter swirling airflows on the characteristics of flow field was explained. The results show that with the increase in SNi, the axial length of the primary recirculation zone decreased, while the radial width increased. The starting position of primary recirculation zone (PRZ) moves forward with the increase in SNo. Reducing the sleeve angle β helps to form the primary recirculation zone. The results indicate that it is the transition of tangential velocity of airflow to radial velocity that promotes the formation of the PRZ. These results provide theoretical support for optimization of the flow field in swirl combustor.

Il film ha inizio con un dialogo tra Sandra, nota scrittrice di origine tedesca, e una giovane studentessa che la sta intervistando, quando da un’altra stanza irrompono i colpi di una musica rap provocatoria (la canzone è “50 cent” di P.I.M.P con Snoop Dog) e ad altissimo volume ascoltata da Samuel, che disturba il colloquio tra le due e le costringe a interrompersi. Samuel, lui pure scrittore, dopo il trasferimento ha deciso di dedicare più tempo al figlio anche per seguirlo negli studi, data la sua disabilità. Sei incapace di confrontarti con le tue ambizioni, e te la prendi con me per questo, ma non sono io che ti ho messo dove sei ora, non ho niente a che fare con questo. Anche inteso come quell’area terza creativa di cui parla Winnicott, l’area intermedia che si costituisce come “posto-di-riposo per l’individuo impegnato nel perpetuo compito umano di mantenere separate e tuttavia correlate la realtà interna e la realtà esterna” (Donald W. Winnicott, Playing and reality, Tavistock Publications, London 1971). Possiamo allora ipotizzare che qui la caduta diviene metafora del venir meno di quel terzo polo che è rappresentato dal figlio, ma che è anche il legame stesso della coppia, nella sua funzione di area intermedia, contenitiva e creativa, che pensa e che si preoccupa, che si prende cura degli elementi di fragilità e di dipendenza presenti, capace di tessere una rete di sostegno, che attutisca le cadute e il dolore psichico, attribuendo un significato agli eventi, favorendo l’evoluzione e

Ferroelectric oxide materials have offered a tantalizing potential for applications since the discovery of ferroelectric perovskites more than 50 years ago. Their switchable electric polarization is ideal for use in devices for memory storage and integrated microelectronics, but progress has long been hampered by difficulties in materials processing. Recent breakthroughs in the synthesis of complex oxides have brought the field to an entirely new level, in which complex artificial oxide structures can be realized with an atomic-level precision comparable to that well known for semiconductor heterostructures. Not only can the necessary high-quality ferroelectric films now be grown for new device capabilities, but ferroelectrics can be combined with other functional oxides, such as high-temperature superconductors and magnetic oxides, to create multifunctional materials and devices. Moreover, the shrinking of the relevant lengths to the nanoscale produces new physical phenomena. Real-space characterization and manipulation of the structure and properties at atomic scales involves new kinds of local probes and a key role for first-principles theory.
