“…Finally, they were asked their views on things like the effect of social media on society, and censorship. In line with the inductive and interpretivist approach (Skinner, 2012) the interview format was semi-structured, allowing participants to speak freely about their experiences, the issues that mattered to them, and their own interpretations of these. The majority of these interviews were conducted through Facebook's 'video chat' function, reducing participation barriers.…”

Facebook has frequently been implicated in the 2016 ‘Brexit’ referendum result, and support for Leave has been linked to wider nativist and populist mobilisations online. However, close-up, qualitative sociological research has not been conducted into the relationship between Brexit and social media use. This is, in part, due to the computational turn in online research, which has led to a disproportionate focus on quantitative big data analysis. This article argues for the value of close-up, qualitative enquiry to facilitate situated understandings of the reality of social media use and what it means to individuals. It outlines one such methodology developed to investigate pro-Leave Facebook users, to demonstrate how challenges posed by such research can be overcome, and the opportunities such enquiry affords for studying the role of social media in contentious politics. Invaluable insights gained include the way Facebook provides an empowering tool for making claims to political knowledge in the context of growing transnational nativist and populist grievances.

“…Most of these projects investigate the frequency response starting at 125 Hz and some of them at 120 Hz. Some investigations into the natural and virtual acoustics of ancient theatres [10], [11], [12] followed the relevant international standard ISO 3382 [13] and thus only considered frequencies above 125 Hz. Other researchers [14], explain that there is high uncertainty when collecting reliable data from acoustic measurements within the low-frequency range, and that the results from simulation softwares are not consistent [15], or that there is no relevance in studying below 125 Hz as it is lower than the fundamental frequency of the male voice, and therefore no relevance in studying for the purpose of their projects [16].…”

Subwoofer array design for optimal performance and minimal noise pollution in the Roman theatre of Italica, Spain

Subwoofer arrays are widely used in live sound events. However, the performance of sound systems and the generated environmental noise pollution in the vicinity of Roman theatres is not well researched and documented. The investigation aimed to determine the most suitable subwoofer array configuration for an outdoor Roman theatre according to their low frequency coverage across the audience area and overspill on nearby residential areas. Performance suitability was determined by measuring the overall sound pressure (dBA) and spectrum levels of the arrays within the audience area at several locations representative of nearby residential areas. The Array Performance Rating (APR) was calculated for each array configuration to complement performance assessments. Results showed a notorious difference between coupled and uncoupled arrays, as well as between ground-based and flown subwoofer configurations. It was proven that the flown point source array offered overall less sound pressure levels and spectral variability in the audience plane and it caused the least environmental noise pollution. The conclusions drawn from this study can provide valuable guidance applicable to future sound system deployments and reconstruction projects of ancient outdoor theatres of similar architectural and environmental characteristics.

“…When Skinner recommends reading Leviathan like reading 'a speech in parliament,' 29 this refers to a deliberative view of the scholarly activity as a debate. The topic is the evaluation and assessment of the pros and cons, the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the applications.…”
