Adverse Selection in B2B Secondary Market Online Auctions for IT Equipment: An Empirical Analysis
Authors:   Kuwait University, Alhauli Abdullah , Elmaghraby Wedad ,   University of Maryland, Gopal Anandasivam ,   Nanyang Technological University
Published: May 2023

Online business-to-business auctions for used IT products have emerged as a viable market for finding a second life for these products, rather than having them end up in landfills as e-waste. As part of the growing “secondary market” landscape, these online B2B auctions are significantly affected by adverse selection since uncertainty about product quality from their first life remains in place. We study how these adverse selection costs may be identified and reduced in online B2B auctions for mobile phones using a proprietary data set for pallets of iPhone devices. We focus on the differences between carrier-locked and unlocked iPhones, and the degree to which the jailbreaking of devices may lead to adverse selection costs. We first show that uncertainty with respect to the possibility of jailbreaking-to-unlock induces significant adverse selection costs in this market. We identify a clear method that these adverse selection costs may be reduced through policies implemented in the primary market. We find that adverse selection costs exist with respect to jailbreaking-to-unlock, by comparing prices obtained for locked and unlocked devices, as well as pallets where this information is not disclosed. However, when some of the uncertainty surrounding jailbreaking-to-unlock is removed by virtue of an exogenous policy change implemented by Verizon in the primary market, i.e., to sell all iPhones as factory unlocked, adverse selection costs are significantly reduced. Our work has significant implications for enhancing the efficiency of secondary markets for IT products, by virtue of highlighting the connections between primary and secondary markets. Managerial and theoretical implications that emerge from this work are discussed in the paper.
It Depends On When You Search

Existing studies have found that online search is a revealed measure for investor attention and a useful predictor of stock returns. We study the heterogeneity in retail investor attention by comparing search conducted on weekdays vs. weekends and investigate the price pressure channel and information processing channel for stock return predictability. According to the information processing channel, weekends afford retail investors more time for the intensive cognitive analysis necessary to make better predictions. Alternatively, weekend search might better capture the price pressure from retail investors’ trading activities. We provide empirical results that support the information processing channel. We first show that weekend search, rather than weekday search, predicts large-cap stock returns in both the cross-section and time series. Additionally, our findings on retail trading activity contradict the price pressure channel in that weekday search, rather than weekend search, leads to a subsequent retail order imbalance. Overall, our study contributes to the literature on the predictive power of online search on stock returns, which has mainly focused on the price pressure channel, which yields significant results for small-cap stocks only.
Resilience in the Open Source Software Community: How Pandemic and Unemployment Shocks Influence Contributions to Others’ and One’s Own Projects

Published: May 2023

Contributions by individual open source software (OSS) community members are the lifeblood of the OSS projects that power today’s digital economy and are important for the very survival of such communities. Individual contributions by OSS community members to others’ projects and their own determine whether OSS communities are resilient in the face of major shocks. Arguably, if crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic prompt users to reduce their contributions to others’ projects relative to the contributions to their own projects, such behavior can have implications for the overall resilience of the OSS community. Therefore, whether and how individuals change their contributions in the face of a crisis is an important question. We examine whether members in an OSS community increased or decreased their contributions to others’ projects relative to their own in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden and unexpected global health-related shock that has affected almost everyone. We also compare and contrast this behavior when the OSS community faced increasing unemployment, an economic cyclic shock that is arguably and relatively more personal. Drawing on the concept of prosocial behavior and conservation of resources (COR) theory, we hypothesize that the pandemic increased OSS community members’ contributions to others’ projects relative to their own; on the other hand, the threat of rising unemployment decreased OSS community members’ contributions to others’ projects relative to their own. Our empirical analyses of a longitudinal dataset of over 18,000 OSS community members on GitHub, with more than 1.4 million member-day observations, support our hypotheses. This study contributes by uncovering the differential effects of exogenous health-related and economic shocks on the resilience of the OSS community. We conclude with a discussion of our findings’ implications for OSS community resilience.
Enseignement de l’éthique et Éducation en vue d’un développement durable : comment concilier valeurs des élèves, valeurs scolaires et durabilité ?
Authors: Curnier Daniel
Published: May 2023

Im Kontext der Einführung der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) ist die Frage der Werte, die sich sowohl auf BNE als politisches Projekt als auch auf die nachhaltige Entwicklung selbst richten, zentral. Die Entscheidungen, die auf die sozioökonomischen Herausforderungen antworten, um die Veränderung der sozialen Organisation zu lenken, sind alles andere als neutral. Als zukünftige Bürger/-innen sind die Schülerinnen und Schüler mit einer Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten und deren zugrundeliegenden Werten konfrontiert. Das Fach „Ethik und religiöse Kulturen (éthique et cultures religieuses ECR)“ spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle: einerseits in der Unterscheidung zwischen Wissen und Überzeugungen, andererseits in der ethischen Befragung gesellschaftlicher Entscheidungen. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die Herausforderungen, welche die Nachhaltigkeit der menschlichen Gesellschaften stellt, erkundet dieser Artikel die mögliche Verortung dieser (ethischen) Befragung in der obligatorischen Schule und schlägt Wege für den Unterricht vor.
Biographie, Überzeugungen, Unterrichtskonzepte: Lehrpersonen erläutern ihre Zugänge zu Religionsthemen
Authors: Bleisch Petra , Bietenhard Sophia
Published: May 2023

Dieser Beitrag untersucht auf der Grundlage von Interviews mit Lehrpersonen Zusammenhänge zwischen Unterrichtshandlungen, didaktischen Aspekten, biographischen Bezügen und dem Religionsbegriff und verortet die Ergebnisse in Religions- und Professionsdiskursen sowie fachdidaktischen Theorien. Die Autorinnen zeigen, dass der Unterricht zu Religion, von welchem die Lehrpersonen erzählen, als individuelle Konstruktionsleistung beschrieben werden kann, für dessen Begründung vielfach eigene biographische Bezüge auf unterschiedliche Weise herangezogen werden. Damit eröffnen sie eine Forschungsperspektive für die Didaktik der Religionskunde, welche auf professionstheoretische Konzepte und somit auch auf interdisziplinäre Forschung zum Lehrberuf verweist.
Kontroversität: Notwendigkeit und Herausforderung in der Praxis des (islamischen) Religionsunterrichts
Authors: Tuna Mehmet Hilmi
Published: May 2023

In kulturell und religiös pluralen Gesellschaften existieren unterschiedliche und dadurch naturgemäss kontroverse Standpunkte, Wertvorstellungen und Glaubensüberzeugungen. Als Beitrag zu einem produktiven und friedvollen Miteinander in Schule und Gesellschaft will der Religionsunterricht, sei er konfessionell oder religionskundlich ausgerichtet, Räume des Lernens und Reflektierens anbieten, in denen die Lernenden durch verantwortungsbewusste und begründete Urteilsbildung Mündigkeit erlangen. Ein solches Verständnis bedeutet auch Meinungen und Positionen entwickeln zu können, die nicht im Einklang mit jenen stehen, die etwa von Lehrenden vertreten werden. Sichtweisen, die als kontrovers erlebt werden, gilt es mit Blick auf das Bildungsziel Pluralitätsfähigkeit akzeptieren und anerkennen zu lernen. Die Befähigung der Lernenden zum Umgang mit Kontroversität ist freilich nur dann zu erreichen, wenn auch im Rahmen des Religionsunterrichts die Wertigkeit von Pluralität reflektiert wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Beitrag die Notwendigkeit und Herausforderung von Kontroversität im (islamischen) Religionsunterricht als Bedingung für eine selbständige und reflektierte Urteilsfindung und damit für Pluralitätsfähigkeit thematisiert.
High energy dissipation rates from the impingement of free paper-thin sheets of liquids: Determination of the volume of the energy dissipation zone
Authors: Demyanovich Robert
Published: May 2023

The micromixing time of impinging thin liquid sheets depends upon the energy dissipation rate (ϵ). Earlier work studied the coefficient of restitution of the collision, which sets the amount of energy released [1]. The purpose of this study was to determine the volume of the energy dissipation zone. High-speed video was used to measure the velocity of features, generated in the front single sheet, as they passed through the impingement zone (IZ) and into the mixed sheet. The experimental results show that the released kinetic energy is dissipated within the residence time of the impingement zone (tr). A new equation for ϵIZ (ϵ calculated based on a volume equal to the IZ volume) was developed and compared with ϵ derived from turbulence energy cascade theory: ϵ = CϵUΛ2/tΛ where Cϵ is the dimensionless dissipation rate coefficient, UΛ2 is the turbulent kinetic energy and tΛ is the large eddy turnover time. When the minimum value of Cϵ (CϵA ) ≈ 0.5, tΛ ≈ tr. These results agree with the notion from turbulence energy cascade theory that large, energy-containing eddies lose their energy within tΛ. For ϵIZ > 3x104 W/kg, Cϵ/CϵA ≈ 1. At lower values of ϵIZ, Cϵ > CϵA , and ϵ > ϵIZ (ϵ = ϵIZ Cϵ/CϵA). For impinging sheets, Cϵ was found to impact the rate at which kinetic energy is lost from the large eddies and not the amount of kinetic energy that is released by the collision.
Reflections on Constitutional and Other Issues Concerning our Electoral System: the Past and the Future
Authors: Wallace Sir John
Published: May 2023

The author, who served as the Chair of the Royal Commission on the Electoral Systems and the President of the Electoral Commission, reflects on New Zealand's change in voting system from First-Past-the-Post to Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) while providing his personal opinions. The article covers the appointment of Commissioners for the Royal Commission and the process in which MMP was chosen by the Commission. The author then discusses the various topics of debate under the MMP system including whether the introduction of a significant constitutional change should require more than a simple majority, how businesses and politicians reacted to the MMP system, whether MMP would lead to a weaker and fragmented government structure, whether MMP would give minor parties too much power, New Zealand's list MP system, voters' worries over "party hopping" during a government term, the need to provide effective Māori representation, number of MPs, the five percent threshold to get into Parliament, Parliamentary terms, and political finance. The author expresses pleasure that MMP obtained a greater degree of support than anticipated, and provides a number of talking points for democracy going forward.
A Perspective on Balance and the Role of Law
Authors: Palmer Matthew SR
Published: May 2023

This article provides an overview of the "Roles and Perspectives in the Law" conference held in honour of the Rt Hon Sir Ivor Richardson and discusses the themes running through various areas of law by exploring the notion of balance. The varied perspectives in the conference papers demonstrate that, where interests are in opposition to each other, the law that regulates strikes a balance between them at some point. Palmer explores this idea through well-established "black-letter" law (such as employment, taxation, and commercial law) and the less established "red-letter" law (such as human rights, indigenous peoples' rights, and constitutional design). It is argued that judges have a crucial role to play in striking a balance in both categories of law. The author concludes that, whether it is black- or red-letter law, it is human behaviour that is being regulated; therefore, one must be careful not to divide human behaviour into neat categorical boxes.
Employment Contracts, Implied Terms and Judicial Law-Making
Authors: Hodder Jack
Published: May 2023

his paper discusses the facilitation and regulation of employment, reflecting an employment perspective that employment is a contractual arrangement which cannot be divorced from a commercial context. The paper also notes that the judicial law-making role is appropriately limited in scope. The author argues the above points through a thorough analysis of the common law development of employment law, in particular the implied term of acting in trust and confidence – including Addis v Gramophone Company, Western Excavating, and the Woods case. The author is not persuaded that the adoption of the implied term has enhanced the clarity or predictable application of the legal rules governing employment contracts. However, the important question is the scope and foundation of judicial law-making in our era – one which helped shape implied terms in employment contracts.
The Changing Approach to the Interpretation of Statutes
Authors: Burrows John
Published: May 2023

This article was a paper presented at a conference celebrating the career of Sir Ivor Richardson. The author discusses the trends in statutory interpretation in New Zealand. The article notes that early statutory interpretation was literal. However, the introduction of section 5(1) of the Interpretation Act 1999 called for a purposive approach to statutory interpretation, resulting in judges like Sir Ivor Richardson advocating for contextual materials to be presented to the court. The author argues that the purposive approach is preferable, as the judiciary is said to have the freedom to consider contextual materials but is not bound to apply them blindly. However, Professor Burrows notes that the dominant purposive approach is qualified by the existence of fundamental democratic values and clear statutory wording by Parliament. The article concludes that there is now an increasing recognition that the intention of Parliament alone is insufficient in an exercise of statutory interpretation.

Risk Factors in Start-Ups: An Evaluation
Authors: KARAARSLAN Mustafa Halid , SOYLU Neilan
Published: May 2023

Start-ups are considered as the way to ensure high added value and competitiveness in economies around the world. While investments in start-ups and government incentives tend to increase, evaluation of start-ups risks is an important issue not only for increasing the return on the investment but also for the efficient use of resources. This study examines the specific risks of 23 start-ups operating in various sectors in Türkiye. Employing multiple case method, the start-ups’ risk factors have been analyzed under four major dimensions (organization and human capital; technology and product; financials; marketing and implementation). Factors affecting the risk of start-ups have been assessed in depth according to their expected impact on funders’ decisions. Findings reveal that issues like key personnel dependence and process efficiency must be carefully assessed as they have a critical role in the survival of start-ups. Due to lack of financial resources and the length of time needed to reach a positive cash flow, the start-ups’ focus can be frequently shifted from their core operations to temporary income generating activities, which also increases the risk. Start-ups are set up subsequently to successfully completed R&D projects, therefore their founders mostly have an engineering background. However, although high R&D potential can be considered as having a risk decreasing effect, it is still their ability to efficiently manage financial resources and to adopt an appropriate marketing strategy to commercialize their products in order to generate cash flows and to attain a stable growth that actually determines their risk levels.

Sürdürülebilir bankacılığa geçişte, bankaların sürdürülebilir uygulamalarını paylaşmaları finansal ve sosyal performanslarını raporlamaları önemli bir adımdır. Türk bankacılık sistemindeki aktif büyüklüğü %7’ler civarında olan katılım bankaları, kuruldukları günden beri büyüyerek sektörün önemli aktörü olma yolunda ilerlemektedir. Katılım bankalarının çevresel ve sosyal risk yönetimi uygulamaları sektörün, sürdürülebilir finansa katkısını arttıracaktır. Katılım bankaları, sürdürülebilirliğe katkılarını sürdürülebilirlik raporları ya da yıllık faaliyet raporlarındaki uygulama açıklamalarıyla kamuoyuyla paylaşmaktadır. Bu açıklamaların bankaların kârlılıklarıyla ilişkisi, olumlu ise bu uygulamaların tüm iş süreçlerine, olumsuz olması ise sadece yasal zorunluluktan dolayı yapmalarına sebep olabilir. Katılım bankalarının kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik raporlamalarının kârlılık üzerinde bir etkisinin bulunup bulunmadığını incelemek bu nedenle önemli bir konudur. Çalışmada panel veri yöntemi kullanılarak katılım bankaların sürdürülebilirlik açıklamalarının kârlılıkları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Kârlılık değişkeni olarak Özkaynak kârlılığı (ROE) bağımlı değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Model Huber – Eicker – White tahmincisi kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen panel veri analizi sonucunda katılım bankalarının kârlılığı üzerinde sürdürülebilirlik açıklamalarının önemli derecede etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuca göre katılım bankalarının kurumsal sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin açıklamalarının, gönüllülük esasına dayalı bir şekilde artarak devam edebileceğini göstermektedir.

Rice is the principal food crop for majority of the global population and its production is frequently affected by drought. The objective of this study was to have improved understanding on drought resistance as a trait, study its molecular genetics and also to identify the potential drought resistant segregants. The genetic material used in this study comprised of near-isogenic lines of IR64 (BC2F7 generation) with random introgression from drought resistant land race Norungan. There was a significant reduction of 25 per cent and 75 per cent in mean plot yield under moderate and severe stress conditions respectively from that under irrigated control which reflected the varied stress intensities between the treatments. The genetic material exhibited significant phenotypic variation for 16 traits studied under three experimental conditions. Marker - trait association was assessed by single marker analysis. Totally 121 markers were used out of that eighteen markers showed putative association with at least one of the investigated trait. A candidate gene based marker for DREB 1 positioned in chromosome 8 was associated with yield under severe stress whereas SSR markers viz, RM 256 in chromosome 8; RM 245 in chromosome 9 were linked with yield under moderate stress. These markers were also linked with other associated traits viz, harvest index, leaf senescence and leaf rolling. These might be useful for marker assisted selection for rainfed rice improvement.

Published: May 2023

A field experiment was conducted at Coconut Research Station, Veppankulam during 2006-09 to asses the nutritional requirement of hybrid coconut (T x D) with 50 per cent nitrogen (N) substitution through organic manure. The experiment was conducted in 35 years old hybrid (T x D) palms (VHC 2). The experimental results proved that in hybrid coconut, a fertilizer level of 1000:250:2000 g NPK / Palm / year along with 50 kg of organic manure (Composted Coir Pith/ Vermi Compost) achieved economically higher mean annual nut yield, besides sustaining the soil fertility. While, the soil available NPK and index leaf NPK content was the highest at 1000:500:2000 g NPK/Palm / year. Considering consistent nut yield and sustainable soil health, 50 per cent of recommended N may be supplied through organic manure viz., vermicompost or composted coir pith and remaining 50 per cent N may be supplied through fertilizers. The organic manure that carries 50 per cent nitrogen can add organic matter to some extent in organically poor coastal coconut soils.

A field experiment was conducted during 2006-2009, on 29 years old East Coast Tall (ECT) coconut palms at Coconut Research Station, Veppankulam to explore the possibility of nitrogen substitution through organic manure. It was aimed to substitute 50 per cent of recommended nitrogen through organic manure. There were five treatments viz., T1 - Absolute control, T2 - Recommended NPK (560:320:1200 g/palm/year), T3 - 100% N as Composted Coir Pith (CCP) + balance PK as fertilizer, T4 - 50 % N as CCP + balance NPK as fertilizer and T5 - Neem cake (10 kg) + ash (20 kg), bonemeal (2kg). The experimental results proved that 50 % nitrogen substitution through organic manure (CCP) and remaining 50 % nitrogen through fertilizers (T4) recorded comparable mean annual nut yield (111 and 117 nuts / palm / year, respectively, in 2008 and 2009) and other yield contributing parameters viz., no. of functional leaves, no. of bunches and no. of female flowers, with 100% NPK through fertilizers (T2). However, the soil fertility viz., soil available NPK and index leaf NPK content were significantly higher due to chemical fertilizers at their recommended level. Hence, in coconut nutrition, 50 per cent nitrogen can be substituted through organics (CCP) and this may pave the way for gradual replacement of chemical fertilizer in coconut garden in the long run by way of waste recycling.

The contents of total soluble, reducing and non-reducing sugars decreased in rice plants due to infection by S. oryzae. But the extent of reduction in plants treated with botanicals followed by inoculation was significantly less. The total soluble and reducing sugar content significantly increased by the spraying of botanicals. The maximum increase being in plants sprayed with the leaf extracts of Acacia leucophloea and Phyllanthus niruri. The maximum reduction of total soluble and reducing sugars was recorded in the case of P. niruri treated plus pathogen inoculated plants. The maximum increase in non-reducing sugars was observed in the plants sprayed with the leaf extracts of Euphorbia hirta and Pongamia glabra. Plants sprayed with P. niruri leaf extract plus inoculation of the pathogen recorded the highest reduction in non-reducing sugar content. In rice plants the highest total phenol content was observed in the plants seven days after inoculation and their content reduced with lapse of time. Spraying of plant products followed by inoculation tremendously increased the total phenols as compared to the plants sprayed with plant products alone (without pathogen inoculation). The total phenol content increased to the maximum extent of 25.50 per cent in the plants sprayed with neem oil followed neem seed kernel extract and leaf extracts of C. arvensis, A. indica, C. roseus and O. tenuiflorum plus pathogen inoculation recording 24.88, 21.41, 21.04, 20.67 and 20.05 per cent increase respectively. The total protein content of the inoculated rice plants increased more with increase (18.39%) in the age of plants. Spraying of plant products resulted in remarkable increase in protein content and the maximum being 27.25 per cent in the plants sprayed with neem seed kernel extract. Plant products treated plus inoculation of the pathogen had resulted in less protein content of the rice plants as compared to plant products treatment alone without inoculation of the pathogen.

The life table of rice BPH was studied under field and natural enemy free condition on three rice varieties viz., PTB33, Udaya and TN1 representing resistance, moderate resistance and susceptibility to BPH respectively. Under field condition, BPH mortality was very high in all the three varieties and all the growth stages starting from egg to adult stage due to high predation of spiders and to lesser extent by mesovelid bugs and Dryinids. The population trend index was low, recording 0.72, 2.11 and 2.15 respectively for PTB33, Udaya and TN1, whereas, it was higher recording 13.20, 22.28 and 25.55 respectively under natural enemy free condition. BPH population assumed a near type II diagonal survivorship curve. Mortality survival ratio (MSR) was the highest for the 1st and 2nd instar BPH and as the insects grew, MSR values gradually dwindled and again at 5th instar stage there was a rise. Indispensable mortality (IM), at egg stage was maximum followed by early instars in all the three varieties examined and was minimum during late instars and adult stages.
A PROSA DE VARLAM CHALÁMOV: UMA FORMA NOVA E INSÓLITA PARA A FIXAÇÃO DE UM ESTADO EXCEPCIONAL
Authors: Rodrigues Pamela de Simas
Published: May 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é propor uma análise de algumas das características estéticas observadas nos contos do escritor Varlam Chalámov, que passou um total de 17 anos preso em campos de trabalhos forçados soviéticos e compôs uma obra monumental intitulada Contos de Kolimá, que consiste em mais de 2 mil páginas de narrativas sobre sua experiência no cárcere. O artigo também pretende pensar o papel de Chalámov enquanto contista e escritor-testemunha, examinando a forma como seus textos ora convergem com as características textuais e formais desses dois tipos de escrita, ora se contrapõem a elas, resultando em uma outra modalidade que o autor classifica como uma “nova prosa”.
A ALTERNÂNCIA GENITIVO-ACUSATIVO EM CONSTRUÇÕES TRANSITIVAS COM POLARIDADE POSITIVA EM RUSSO
Authors: Santos Ana Beatriz Barreto dos
Published: May 2023

O fenômeno de alternância genitivo-acusativo já é vastamente estudado na língua russa, principalmente no que tange às construções de polaridade negativa. Tendo como base resultados obtidos para construções com polaridade positiva na escrita, este trabalho visa observar se o que foi constatado para essas estruturas estaria também ocorrendo na fala. Desse modo, esta análise parte das hipóteses de que, na fala, o acusativo, por ser uma inovação, estaria mais disseminado; que a alternância genitivo-acusativo estaria condicionada ao verbo utilizado; e que os fatores de individualização do objeto, como, por exemplo, a animacidade, estariam influenciando na escolha de caso da mesma forma que foi constatado para os dados de escrita. Para tanto, foi feita uma análise quantitativa sobre um conjunto de três verbos tradicionalmente regidos por genitivo: slušat’sja (obedecer); bojat’sja (temer); dostigat’ (alcançar). Os resultados obtidos foram analisados conforme a teoria linguística da Gramática de Construções Baseada no Uso. Com isso, constatou-se que o verbo utilizado exercia significativa influência na escolha de caso, tendo slušat’sja (obedecer) apresentado uma maior preferência pelo acusativo, o qual compôs a maior parte das ocorrências desse verbo. Além disso, constatou-se também que alguns fatores relacionados à individualização do objeto estariam exercendo significativo impacto na alternância.
Jogos propostos por autores de livros didáticos: Uma caracterização de uso (s) por professores de matemática dos anos finais do ensino fundamental (Aracaju/se)
Authors: Santos Claudiene
Published: May 2023

Neste texto é apresentado o resultado de uma pesquisa que teve por
objetivo caracterizar se/como os professores dos anos finais do ensino
fundamental utilizam os jogos matemáticos que são propostos por
autores de livros didáticos do PNLD/2017 adotados para escolas
estaduais da rede pública de ensino em Aracaju/SE. Inicialmente, as
três coleções do PNLD/2017 mais utilizadas em Aracaju/SE foram
examinadas, a saber: Matemática Compreensão e Prática, Vontade de
Saber Matemática e Matemática Bianchini. A partir dessa escolha,
foram selecionadas, para cada coleção, uma instituição de ensino em
cada zona geográfica do município para aplicação de questionários aos
docentes de Matemática com a intenção de atingir o objetivo proposto.
Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram compostos por um
questionário contendo vinte e quatro perguntas, que iam desde a
formação pessoal de cada participanteda pesquisa até se/como se dava
a aplicabilidade desse recurso em sala de aula, e de uma entrevista com
perguntas voltadas para identificar o uso que era feito dos jogos pelos
docentes. Para um entendimento de jogo matemático foi utilizado
Grando (1995, 2000). Por meio do exame dos questionários, foi
possível caracterizar que oito dos doze entrevistados têm
conhecimento da presença dos jogos matemáticos no livro didático,
mas apenas cinco utilizam os jogos indicados pelos autores dos livros
que adotam. Tal uso é feito, pelos docentes, para se trabalhar,
principalmente, os conteúdos de frações, porcentagens, ângulos,
potenciação, equações, funções e números naturais. Na entrevista,
pôde-se constatar também que os jogos eram confeccionados pelos
respondentes da pesquisa ou por seus alunose que, em todos os casos,
eram adaptados pelos professores ao nível da turma. Parte dos
participantes alegou também utilizar outros recursos didáticos, até
mesmo jogos indicados por autores de outras coleções. Identificou-se,
também, que os cinco participantes da pesquisa que utilizavam os
jogos propostos no livro o faziam para: avaliar o aluno, introduzir e
desenvolver os conteúdos, promover socialização, auxiliar na
resolução de problemas e fixar os conteúdos. Alguns desses usos
aconteceram de forma isolada e outros de maneira simultânea

Perubahan kurikulum perguruan tinggi dengan berlakunya konsep Independent Learning, ditanggapi melalui berbagai pola belajar-mengajar yang baru oleh berbagai perguruan tinggi. Situasi ini perlu disikapi dengan pemahaman dari pihak institusi pendidikan bahwa model pembelajaran tatap muka di dalam kelas bukanlah satu-satunya cara terbaik. Mahasiswa perlu mendapatkan pengalaman belajar pada dunia kerja nyata agar pengembangan karakter, sikap, serta keterampilan yang dimiliki mampu terasah dengan baik. Sayangnya hal ini seringkali menjadi lebih kompleks, ketika peserta program mendapatkan penugasan proyek yang sama sekali lain dengan kompetensi siswa setelah lulus program sarjana, sehingga dilema pengajar untuk lebih memilih pembelajaran konvensional dengan kurikulum reguler tampak lebih bertanggungjawab. Untuk itu, perlu ditanamkan fleksibilitas dari seluruh stakeholder terutama dosen pembimbing serta mitra universitas untuk dapat mengoptimalkan kesediaan mahasiswa untuk terjun ke masyarakat sebagai kesempatan yang berguna baik bagi siswa maupun masyarakat terabdi.

Mastering the technique of playing volleyball is important for every player. This will come in handy in gaming. Mastering it will make it easier to play and win. This study aims to determine whether step play and a hybrid approach to sport instruction will improve the skills of volleyball players. An experimental research methodology using a one-shot case study design was applied. This study was attended by 36 elementary school students using total sampling technique. They were instructed to participate in a joint sports education program between the Sport Education Model (SEM) and the Step Game Approach (SGA) for 14 meetings spread over two months, twice a week. The instruments used in this study were the Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ) and the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) were used to collect data. The results show good game performance, with yields exceeding 80% and a high proportion of each SOQ indicator, with an average of >80%. This shows that the combined learning model between SEM and SGA makes a positive contribution to students' volleyball playing techniques and skills. Through this combined learning it is hoped that students can learn techniques as well as their playing skills in real situations.

High intensity and good acceleration speed are distinct advantages in a futsal team, thus the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of speed training on the physical performance of futsal players in West Java. The method used in this research is experimental, with a pretest–posttest one group design approach. A purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria was used in selecting subjects. The total subjects were 30 male futsal players with an average (age of 18.18 ± 2.11 years, height of 168.20 ± 5.32 cm, weight of 60.49 ± 4.23 kg, and fat of 10.19 ± 1.65 %). Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 22 application with a significance level of p <0.05. The results showed that speed training carried out for 10 weeks significantly impacted aerobic Capacity (p=0.005) and agility (p=0.008). While for the vertical jump and 20-meter sprint, there was an increase, but not significant. Thus the findings in this study can be used as a recommendation for coaches and athletes to train in the basic components of speed to help their physical performance properly.
