<p><em>High definition technology development in the entertainment industry, especially film industry, has produce classic problem about format consensus in the media industry. This situation eventually creates the so called “war of format” between the two most popular high definition formats, the Blu-ray from Sony/Hitachi and the HD DVD from Toshiba. Unlike the war of format before, for example is VHS versus Betamax war, that determinated mostly by the consumer, the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD is strongly affect by the abilities of the companies behind the two format to consentrate and integrate their business moghul and also to make alliance between competitiors. Concentration of ownership is appears in the trend of holywood studios to merge with the bigger studios, which is creates a few conglomeration in the movie business. Integrations of business could be seen from the owners of the big studios that not only have the studios, but also many other business that relate or not with the entertainment business. And least, the alliance could be seen from this big studios alliance to support one of the format.</em></p><p><em>Initially the HD DVD was on the fruitfull position because has been back up by the studios like Warner Bros, Paramount, and Universal that have more market share in US that the studios that support Blu-ray format, which is Sony, Walt Disneym and 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox. Fortunately for Blu-ray, Sony already sells millions of PS 3 console that ingeniously could read Blu-ray disk; this means there’s already millions of Blu-ray reader device in the hand of consument, something that Toshiba could not generate. In the end, the victory of Blu-ray format is accelerate by the switching side of Warner Brothers studio to the Blu-ray follow by the others big studios.</em></p><p><em>Conclusively, the success of a new technology, especially the media industry, is sometimes not depends on the quality of the technology itself. Often, the success is determined by the availability of the industries that support the technology. The war of format between HD DVD and Blu-ray definitely show the determination of media industry in the development of new technology.</em></p>

This article explores the complexity of minority creative workers in the media industry. It challenges the common notion in the literature that minority creative workers are fully submissive to the dominant power structure and examines whether such workers could still be conceived as active agents by resisting submission and marginalization even when they cannot influence their own representation in hegemonic media texts. To answer this question, it explores the performances of minority creative workers in a hegemonic cultural industry. To determine whether one can speak of subaltern agency and, if possible, examine how it manifests itself in reality, it addresses the daily performances of Palestinian creative workers during the production of the second season of the Israeli television series, Fauda. Observations conducted during production demonstrate that since in such contexts minority creative workers cannot avoid being projected in negative roles in the media text, they adopt creative subversive practices of passing and transgressive mimicry, resisting full compliance with the production, without endangering their own position. By doing so, the article contributes not only to the emerging field of creative entrepreneurship in cultural production, but also enables determination of common practices of creative subversion in the cultural industries.

Subject The state of democracy in Kenya. Significance Since 2017’s contested elections, Kenya has entered a damaging period of political uncertainty, characterised by opposition leader Raila Odinga’s refusal to accept Uhuru Kenyatta’s presidency as legitimate, and the determination of ruling Jubilee Party leaders to use state power to reassert their authority. Consequently, the independence of the media, judiciary and security forces has been challenged, leading to a significant deterioration in the quality of democracy, which threatens -- but has not yet fully undermined -- the gains secured in the 2010 constitution. Impacts GDP growth fell to 4.5% in 2017 from 5.8% in 2016 and is unlikely to recover quickly without a solution to the political impasse. Democratic backsliding may erode relations between the opposition and donors, whom Odinga has already criticised for ignoring excesses. If true, rumours Kenyatta plans to buy a controlling stake in the influential Nation Media Group would be a major blow to media freedom.

This paper offers a film and cultural studies analysis of the Indonesian religious film Ayat-ayat Cinta. It examines the way in which the film represents Islam in the context of the globalisation of the media industry, the wider cultural transformation and religious context in Indonesia. This paper argues that the film Ayat-ayat Cinta represents “popular Islam”, which resulted from the interaction between the santri religious variants and the film industry, capitalism, market forces and popular culture in Indonesia. Santri religious variants in this film are rooted in traditionalist, fundamentalist, modernist, and liberal Islam in Indonesia, and those Islamic groups which have undergone a process of conformity with capitalism and popular culture. As a result, the representation of Islam in this film is pluralist, tolerant, and fashionable.

Medicinal products fail sterility testing if visual observation shows the growth of microorganisms that manifests itself as turbidity, sedimentation, flocculation and other changes in the growth medium. A key factor allowing robust determination of changes in the culture that may be suspected of contamination is the quality of growth media used, namely their transparency, and absence of foreign matter detectable by microscopic examination of the growth media smears. The presence of such foreign matter makes it especially difficult to interpret the results of testing of immunobiological products, namely live bacterial vaccines, because they cause turbidity of the media due to their specific composition. The article dwells upon the results of testing (in terms of Transparency and Microbial content) of dehydrated growth media recommended by the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, 13th ed., General monograph 1.2.4.0003.15 for sterility testing of immunobiological medicinal products. The study revealed the presence of microorganisms, including pathogenic ones, in the growth media. In view of the fact that certificates of analysis and technical documentation accompanying components of growth media and dehydrated growth media produced by most national and foreign manufacturers do not contain any data on the acceptable levels of microorganisms it is argued that these products have to be tested for microbial content. The study also investigated the ways of improving the quality of commercial dehydrated growth media at the preparation stage.

Media Form

360-degree image and movie content have been gaining popularity in the last few years all over the media industry. There are two main reasons for this development. On the one hand, it is the immersive character of this media form and, on the other hand, the development of recording and presentation technology has made great progress in terms of resolution and quality. 360-degree panoramas are particularly widespread in VR and AR technology. Despite the high immersive potential, these forms of presentation have the disadvantage that the users are isolated and have no social contact during the presentation. Efforts have therefore been made to project 360-degree content in specially equipped rooms or planetariums to enable a shared experience for the audience. One area of application for 360- degree single-line cylindrical panorama with moving imagery included are modern conference rooms in hotels, which create an immersive environment for their clients to encourage creativity. The aim of this work is to generate high-resolution 25K 360-degree videos for projection in a conference room. The creation of the panoramas uses the single-line cylinder technique and is based on composition technologies that are used in the film industry. Video sequences are partially composed into a still image panorama in order to enable a high native resolution of the final film. A main part of this work is the comparison of different film, video and DSLR cameras, in which different image parameters are examined with respect to the quality of the images. Finally, the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the procedure are examined.

In the early years, the element range covered by the Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (WDXRF) technique was restricted by the quality of vacuum, crystals and detectors in the system. The lightest element detectable was Aluminium (Z = 13). The area of light element analysis had obvious potential for extension over the years. It created the barrier for XRP coverage of the Periodic Table because the naturally softer radiations lay out of range of the technique. In the middle of the 1980's, new technology became available for the manufacture of synthetic crystals with artificially created 2d spacings to suit the X-ray wavelength range of interest. These hyered synthetic microstructures (also called “multilayer crystals”) allowed more sensitivity to be achieved in this part of the spectrum, and the bottom element limit soon moved down towards lighter elements.

This article explores the dual influence of market and political pressures on journalists and the resulting character of censorship and self-censorship in Russia. In particular, it focuses on how these pressures affect the work environment journalists have to engage with and the quality of news they produce. It also explains the economic and political context of commercialised news aggregation and its impact on the media industry and its workers. A cut-throat media market makes it almost impossible for any outlet to not have to sacrifice some aspects of quality journalism in order to increase its audience. As a journalist with almost 20 years of experience in the media industry, I explore the conditions in Russia’s media market. Even private media owners are often deeply beholden to the state and are as susceptible to pressure from state agents and censorship as are outlets that are directly owned by the government. This can partly be explained by the fact that many outlets which used to be privately-owned and independent have undergone hostile takeovers, including new editorial teams loyal to the state.

Based on the hierarchy of influences model, we explored journalists’ understanding and perceptions about media convergence in Pakistan’s media industry and its influence on journalistic practices and routines. In-depth interviews with Pakistani news practitioners revealed several challenges hindering the successful implementation of media convergence in Pakistan. These challenges included the lack of resources for incorporating digital technologies, the lack of financial incentives, and stringent journalistic work routines, we found that technology-induced routines have severely affected both the personal and the professional lives of media practitioners. The adoption of convergence in Pakistan has been largely based on economic and commercial concerns rather than attempts to improve the quality of media content. Overall, the work contributes to the media convergence literature by providing insights from an emerging non-Western media system.
