Media Management

Abstract

The core task of media management is to build a bridge between the general theoretical disciplines of management and the specificities of the media industry. Media management is, however, neither a clearly defined nor a cohesive field but rather a loose agglomeration of work by researchers from various scientific fields. The syllabi from the rash of media management courses that have sprung up over the past decade all over the world exhibit very few commonalities, and an enormously diverse range of theories, topics, and core readings. Notable is that very few of these courses stem from management or business schools. The majority come from mass communications and journalism or economics institutions (Küng 2007).

A closer look at amyloid ligands, and what they tell us about protein aggregates

“…We compiled a database of 3457 measurements of ligand–amyloid fibril interactions from the scientific literature. 50–385 The requirements to be included in this database were (1) a known chemical structure, (2) a structure that does not contain metals (metalloligands have been thoroughly reviewed elsewhere in the literature 43,386–391 ), (3) a K d or IC 50 measurement, and (4) a fibril target related to Aβ, tau, or αSyn. Nearly half of the database reports on binding to Aβ fibrils formed in vitro , although recent years has seen a shift in focus toward tau and αSyn fibrils formed in vitro (Table 1).…”
