El cáncer es una enfermedad compleja en el cual se han utilizado numerosos tratamientos. El mayor avance en tratamiento ha sido el uso de inhibidores de puntos de control, disminuyendo la carga tumoral. La esperanza de vida de los pacientes con cáncer ha aumentado. Sin embargo, se mantiene la alta incidencia de tumores en la población longeva, la mayoría de los cuales tienen comorbilidades. El número de ancianos saludables es bajo y, por lo general, los ensayos clínicos no tienen en cuenta a los ancianos. Por lo tanto, el uso de terapias tumorales en la población de edad avanzada es muy compleja. Una iniciativa es analizar la incidencia de cáncer y la sobrevida de una cohorte de individuos que han tomado terapias específicas durante varios años. La revisión se centrará en tres medicamentos: ácido valproico, disulfiram (Antabuse) y metformina. En esta revisión, disertaremos sobre la importancia de estos medicamentos en la terapia contra el cáncer en general y en la población de edad avanzada.

Published: August 2020

study investigates how brand affection, loyalty programs, and brand trust determine the loyalty in airways industry. We examined the influence of brand trust and brand affection on loyalty in airlines services. The airways companies applied loyalty programs as a trend. The purpose of the loyalty programs is to encourage the loyalty of the customers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of brand affection and loyalty programs on brand trust and loyalty among GarudaMiles members. Primary data were collected through a survey. Data collected by online quistionnaire through social media and resulting 171 processable questionnaire. Data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Confirmatory factor analysis within structural equation modeling were carried out to assess adequacy of the measurements and validity of the model. We found that brand affection is not significantly influence customer loyalty; brand affection significantly influence brand trust; and brand trust significantly influence customer loyalty. This result indicate that brand affection has an indirrect effect on loyalty, it’s mediated by brand trust. Loyalty program is not significantly effect brand trust, it has direct effect on loyalty. It’s become clear that only brand trust mediates the relationship of brand affection and loyalty. The customers of the airways companies tend to be loyal because of the loyalty programs applied by the airways companies. These finding add performance effectiveness and long-term relationships with customers in airlines industry to the factors needed to respond to the highly competitive situation at present, which will be even more important with the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

The concept of Five-Factor Model (FFM) of Personality describes the basic dimension of human behavior, thinking, and emotions that related to the job. The FFM currently getting popular and reach more attention to from the scholars and practitioners as well, particularly in the area of human resource management. Therefore, the main goal of current research is to compile and to test the dimensions of FFM and its measure empirically. Eighty-four self report measures distributed to the 238 employees who work both for public and private organizations at the Northern Sumatera Island, Indonesia. The respondents are currently completing their graduate programs at the University of Bengkulu. Two-hundred-and-eighteen questionnaires completed and returned by respondents, and analyzed using Factor Analysis with Varimax Approach to extract them in to the several components. Based on the analyses, research confirmed the 5 dimensions for FFM, which is conscientiousness (18 items), extraversion-introversion (18 items), agreeableness (12 items), openness to experience (14 items), and emotional stability (12 items). The result strictly recommended that the use of FFP as a means of Human Resource Practices such as selection, promotion, training, and the like.

Authors: M. Rusdi Zainnur
Published: August 2020

Some forms of academic behavior of counter-productive that many college students are doing is plagiarism, cheating, absenteeism, and postponing the task. Counterproductive academic behavior such as plagiarism and cheating among students can be reduced if the student has self-control and good mindfulness. This study aims to examine the negative effects of self-control and mindfulness on counter-productive academic behavior. The results of hypothesis testing showed that each variable of self-control and mindfulness have positive effect on counterproductive academic behavior. The low mean value in this study indicates that the average of college students who become respondents have a low level of self-control and low mindfulness that has a tendency to perform counterproductive academic behavior.

Published: August 2020

The city government of Bandung has made serious efforts in solving the urban problems creatively through the utilization of ICT, known as Smart City. One of the smart government programs being implemented is the online public aspirations and complaints service through an application system called LAPOR. So far, the application is considered effective enough to engage public participation, eventhough there are also many contradictory and negative comments shared by the users. Therefore, it is important to find out the actual description of public acceptances for the LAPOR system.

The affecting factors of interest and behavior in using the system were identified by the model of UTAUT 2 developed by Venkatesh et al. In 2012. The data in this study was collected using questionnaires distributed to 405 respondents of those who live in Bandung city, either the users of LAPOR application or those who have not used it yet. The results showed that the most influential factor of interest in using the LAPOR system is Price Value. This indicates that public wants the proportional benefits of the costs incurred for using the system.Other influential factors are Hedonic Motivation, Social Influence, Habit, and Facilitating Condition. Hence, these findings will enable practitioners to gain information in improving the successful implementation of technology-based governance programs.

Authors: Putra Zainal , Muzakir Muzakir , Hasan Ishak
Published: August 2020

The realization of regional government expenditure in Aceh Province from 2011 – 2015 has reached the figure of Rp84.260.616.926.552,00. However, the indicator data of Aceh people’s welfare in 2016 provided information of unemployment rate in Aceh in 2015  at 9,93%. This exceeds the national unemployment rate in the same period of 6.2%. Likewise, the poverty rate of Aceh Province in 2015 was at 17.08%. While nationally, the unemployment rate was at 11.13%.

This condition indicated that the regional government were still unable to prosper the people, which also means that the governments were underperformed. This was possible because of inefficient use of resources. Efficiency does not only apply to private sector but also public sector. public sector organizations are now required to be able to operate efficiently to improve the performance. Nowadays, the performance of the local government has been criticized by the public. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a performance measurement toward public organization to know the extent of performance in a certain period accurately. This study aims to determine the efficiency level of regency / city governments in Aceh Province. By using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, it is possible to observe which regency / city governments are performing well. This study uses input variables including regional expenditure, assets, population, civil servants and area. Output variables used include Regional Original Income (PAD), Human Development Index (HDI) and Per capita Income.

The result shows that from 23 regency / city governments in Aceh Province, in the overall average from 2011 - 2015, there were only 5 regency / city governments (21.74%) who were efficient in running their government (efficiency score 1.00) , namely Banda Aceh, Langsa, Lhokseumawe, Sabang and Subulussalam. Therefore, the regency / city government has a good performance.

Exploring the job placement of recent emergency management graduates
Authors: Jensen, PhD Jessica , Bundy Kirkpatrick, PhD Sarah J.
Published: August 2020

Graduate job placement is an important issue for emergency management higher education programs, practitioners, and students. Yet, despite considerable discussion about the topic, no line of empirical research has emerged. This article begins to address this gap by reporting the findings of an exploratory study that examined the actual job placement of students who recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in emergency management and the extent to which their placement was consistent with their intent. This study found that the vast majority of recent graduates are indeed securing jobs they want, but, for about half, the jobs they want are not emergency management. There is significant diversity in the career-paths and sectors being pursued by graduates. This article discusses the potential implications of these findings as well as the critical need for further research in this area.
Comparing predisaster mitigation grant spending with postdisaster assistance spending: Are mitigation investments saving federal dollars?
Authors: Renken, PhD Katharina , Jackman, PhD Andrea M. , Beruvides, PhD, PE Mario G.
Published: August 2020

This work is a companion paper to “Quantifying the Relationship Between Predisaster Mitigation Spending and Major Disaster Declarations for US States and Territories.” Mitigation is a relatively new undertaking, especially for local jurisdictions, within the United States disaster policy. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires local jurisdictions to plan for and implement mitigative strategies in order to access federal grant funding options for emergency management. After DMA 2000 went into effect in the mid-2000s, a supporting study by the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council (MMC 2005) found that on average, mitigation projects yielded a benefit-cost ratio of 4:1 at the local level.1 This paper evaluates and compares predisaster mitigation spending and postdisaster assistance spending at the state and FEMA Regional levels, hypothesizing that as mitigation spending increases, postdisaster spending should decrease. The results however indicate the opposite, with most states showing increasing in both types of spending over time.
Observed changes in the temperature dependence response of surface ozone under NOx reductions
Authors: Otero Noelia , Rust Henning W. , Butler Tim
Published: August 2020

Abstract. Due to the strong temperature dependence of surface ozone concentrations (O3), future warmer conditions may worsen ozone pollution levels despite continued efforts on emission controls of ozone precursors. Using long-term measurements of hourly O3 concentrations co-located with NOx concentrations in stations distributed throughout Germany, we assess changes in the climate penalty, defined as the slope of ozone-temperature relationship during the period 1999–2018. We find a stronger temperature sensitivity in the urban stations over the southwestern regions, especially in the first period of the study (1999–2008).We show a decrease in the climate penalty in most of stations during the second period of the study (2009–2018), with some exceptions (e.g. Berlin) where the climate penalty did not show significant changes. To examine the impacts of NOx reductions on the O3 sensitivity to temperature, we propose a statistical approach based on generalized additive models (GAMs) to describe ozone production rates, inferred from hourly observations, as a function of NOx and temperature, among other variables relevant during the O3 production. We find lower O3 production rates during the second period (2009–2018) at most stations and a decreasing sensitivity to temperature, pointing out that lowering NOx concentrations resulted in decreasing O3 production rates. However, we also observe changes in the shape of the function representing the O3-temperature relationship, which indicate that NOx reductions alone can not explain the changes in the temperature dependence of O3. Our analysis would suggest that decreasing NOx concentrations are not the only factor causing the observed changes in the climate penalty factor.
Greenland climate simulations show high Eemian surface melt

Published: August 2020

Abstract. This study presents simulations of Greenland surface melt for the Eemian interglacial period (~130000 to 115000 years ago) derived from regional climate simulations with a coupled surface energy balance model. Surface melt is of high relevance for ice core records because it can influence observations, e.g., lower the preserved total air content (TAC) used to infer past surface elevation. An investigation of surface melt is particularly interesting for warm periods, such as the Eemian interglacial period, with enhanced surface melt. Furthermore, Eemian ice is the deepest and most compressed ice preserved on Greenland, which means that melt layers can not be identified visually. Therefore, a knowledge of potential melt layers would be advantageous. The simulations presented here show Eemian surface melt at all deep Greenland ice core locations. Estimated TAC, based on simulated melt during the Eemian, could explain the lower TAC observations: at the summit of Greenland (GRIP) a refreezing ratio of more than 25 % of the annual accumulation is simulated. As a consequence, elevated levels of surface melt during warm periods should be considered when interpreting Greenland TAC measurements as surface elevation changes. Additionally to estimating the influence of melt on past TAC in ice cores, the simulated surface melt could also be used to identify potential coring locations where Greenland ice might be best preserved.

Published: August 2020

Abstract. This paper describes a feasibility study for the digitisation of gravestones, specifically Jewish gravestones, alongside an implementation of Multi-Criteria Decision Making. MCDM methods are common in other contexts, and have been used to address issues particular to design, organisation and management of large-scale construction and engineering projects. They are, however, novel in the context of cultural heritage. This paper will examine the potentials of non-contact sensor technologies (including photogrammetry via Structure from Motion, structured light scanning and terrestrial laser scanning) to record, model and archive the stones and their inscriptions. The various methodologies will be assessed against set criteria, specifically speed, resolution, readability and scalability for mass recording, from MCDM including criteria given by humanities scholars in the field of history, theology and Jewish studies.
UNSUPERVISED DOMAIN ADAPTATION USING A TEACHER-STUDENT NETWORK FOR CROSS-CITY CLASSIFICATION OF SENTINEL-2 IMAGES
Authors: Hu J. , Mou L. , Zhu X. X.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. A machine learning algorithm in remote sensing often fails in the inference of a data set which has a different geographic location than the training data. This is because data of different locations have different underlying distributions caused by complicated reasons, such as the climate and the culture. For a large scale or a global scale task, this issue becomes relevant since it is extremely expensive to collect training data over all regions of interest. Unsupervised domain adaptation is a potential solution for this issue. Its goal is to train an algorithm in a source domain and generalize it to a target domain without using any label from the target domain. Those domains can be associated to geographic locations in remote sensing. In this paper, we attempt to adapt the unsupervised domain adaptation strategy by using a teacher-student network, mean teacher model, to investigate a cross-city classification problem in remote sensing. The mean teacher model consists of two identical networks, a teacher network and a student network. The objective function is a combination of a classification loss and a consistent loss. The classification loss works within the source domain (a city) and aims at accomplishing the goal of classification. The consistent loss works within the target domain (another city) and aims at transferring the knowledge learned from the source to the target. In this paper, two cross-city scenarios are set up. First, we train the model with the data of the city Munich, Germany, and test it on the data of the city Moscow, Russia. The second one is carried out by switching the training and testing data. For comparison, the baseline algorithm is a ResNet-18 which is also chosen as the backbone for the teacher and student networks in the mean teacher model. With 10 independent runs, in the first scenario, the mean teacher model has a mean overall accuracy of 53.38% which is slightly higher than the mean overall accuracy of the baseline, 52.21%. However, in the second scenario, the mean teacher model has a mean overall accuracy of 62.71% which is 5% higher than the mean overall accuracy of the baseline, 57.76%. This work demonstrates that it is worthy to explore the potential of the mean teacher model to solve the domain adaptation issues in remote sensing.
TRAINING RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER CONCENTRATION PREDICTION
Authors: Masinde C. J. , Gitahi J. , Hahn M.
Published: August 2020

Abstract. A high level of particulate matter in the atmosphere has an adverse long-term effect on human health. It has been associated with increased pulmonary tract and lung infections. It is more common in urban areas, especially megacities due to the confluence of industries and motorized machinery. Considering that most of the world’s population lives in urban areas, there is a need to monitor air pollution arising from particulate matter in order to ensure clean and safe air in cities in accordance with goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals. One way of doing this is through the use of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which are suited for time varying data. Particulate matter concentration recorded by a network of low-cost sensors in Stuttgart is trained on three of the most popular RNN variants: Standard LSTM, Peephole LSTM and Gated Recurrent Unit. Two optimizers are used, Stochastic Gradient descent and Adam. Training is done on a single sensor and the optimum weights transferred and used in the prediction of other sensor values. This study concludes that Gated Recurrent Unit with Stochastic Gradient Descent is the most effective of the three variants in predicting particulate matter PM2.5 concentrations. In addition to this, weight transfer between sensors is not affected by temperature, wind direction, wind speed and geographic distance between sensors but rather by atmospheric pressure and the similarity of recorded Particulate matter levels.

Authors: Gupta Shyla , Shaw Cathy , Haseeb Sohaib , Baranchuk Adrian
Published: August 2020

Background:  Neurostimulator devices produce electrical oscillations that may prevent accurate diagnosis of an ECG.

The Case: We present the case of a 68-year-old man who came to the emergency department with chest pain and a spinal cord neuromodulator device in situ to treat his polymyalgia rheumatic. A 12-lead ECG was obtained to determine the cause of the chest pain, and atrial fibrillation was wrongly diagnosed.

Conclusion: This case reiterates the value of recognizing this uncommonly encountered ECG artifact to avoid unnecessary mistakes in interpretation of heart rhythms.
Militarism and Education in America
Authors: Astore William J.
Published: August 2020

The United States today is marked by a culture that is both militarized and commoditized, in which education has become both an enabler to a state of permanent war and a facilitator of business and industry imperatives.  The increasing militarism of America’s schools, colleges, and universities demands a response.  Active and informed dissent is what’s required, for nothing is more truly American or patriotic than well-informed dissent that seeks to protect vital liberties.  This article suggests several ways that educators can alert students to the twin perils of militarism and an education driven too narrowly by "learn to earn" imperatives.

Unpacking the Invisible Military Backpack
Authors: Vine David
Published: August 2020

Educators in the United States have failed in teaching about war. Educators have failed to teach broadly enough, consistently enough, and with the sense of urgency demanded by the immense destruction of the United States’ Post-9/11 Wars. In the spirit of exchanging ideas, strategies, and inspiration, this article offers 56 suggestions for teaching about war. While the suggestions are focused on people teaching about U.S. wars, they can be applied by anyone teaching about war anywhere, at any level, in any field, for any length of time. The article discusses how much of the violence of war is similar to the “invisible knapsack” Peggy McIntosh identifies in her classic article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” War is not the same as whiteness, but war, militarization, and militarism shape our daily lives in profound but often invisible ways. In this context, educators can help make war visible and contribute to movements to end current wars and stop future ones.

Published: August 2020

A review of Matthew E. Henry's Teaching While Black. Main Street Rag Publishing Company, 2020.

 

Matthew E. Henry's slim, searing first book of poems, Teaching While Black, is composed of situations or "teaching moments" that have occured throughout his life and particularly in his career as a Black teacher at mostly white and privileged schools. Particularly timely after the recent police killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others, the poems, and the moments each represents, highlight the intersection of race, class, and gender politics, exploring the conflicted meanings of place, position, and identity for a Black educator. These are challenging, insightful, and passionate poems that would be ideal reading for courses focused on these issues, particularly in conjunction with the BLM protests that coincide with the collection's publication and with helping students both to understand and resist the received positions that society, or educational institutions assign them.

Improving the Classification of Digital Marketing Tools for the Industrial Goods Promotion in the Globalization Context
Authors: Rosokhata Anna , Rybina Olena , Derykolenko Anna , Makerska Viktoriia
Published: August 2020

In today's environment, the use of digital marketing tools is of great importance for domestic manufacturers, as it allows them to promote their products to the world markets quickly, with a relatively small cost, to provide target audience influence, to form and enhance their own image, as well as the image of their products, etc. The constant updating of the Digital Marketing tools and the disagreement among scientists regarding the systematization and classification of the objects of the digital environment need further consideration. The authors attempt to further develop the classification of digital marketing tools in the terms of identifiing new classification attribute "By type of mediation", which contributes to further systematization of digital tools, deepening understanding of the impact of various tools (direct, indirect), the degree of their specialization and economic interest, that makes possible their effective implementation at different entities. The comparative analysis of the main digital tools is being held resulting in defining their characteristics and the peculiarities of application. It is suggested to determine the importance factor of using each digital tool to promote industrial production by the method of pairwise comparison. It is proposed to consider the importance factor of using a particular digital tool when calculating the cost-effectiveness of using it.

Published: August 2020

The global transformation of employment is a comprehensive process that changes the principles of market relations and defines the interstate commonality of requirements for the use of labor potential. In case of inconsistency of the global transformation of employment with national peculiarities, the phenomenon of global-local polarization occurs. The labor markets of countries are increasingly affected by global transformational changes, the main factors of which are humanization, dynamic scientific and technological progress, intellectualization, development of the society and the knowledge economy, the appearance of the digital economy, demographic processes, increasing resource mobility, a focus on sustainable development goals, high competition in labor markets, economic growth. Each factor causes specific changes in the labor markets with the appearance of new spheres, forms, standards, employment conditions, features of protection, spatial organization and regulation.
The Use of Literary Texts in EFL Coursebooks: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Al-Saeed Shaima , Alenezi Abdullah A.
Published: August 2020

This exploratory study investigates the use of literary texts in English as a foreign language (EFL) coursebooks and examines the extent to which literature is used within the coursebooks, the types of texts used as regards authenticity and recency, the criteria for selecting and adapting the texts and the ways of improving the selection and adaptation process. Multiple articles written on this subject show that the evaluation of EFL coursebooks is a relevant and important research area in the study of language and linguistics. This study gives a survey of the extent to which literary texts are used in EFL coursebooks within institutions of higher learning in Kuwait and worldwide. In this study, 44 popular EFL coursebooks (between 2015 and 2019) within higher education institutes, including those in Kuwait, were analysed. The findings demonstrated that literary texts are not included in many of the coursebooks used nowadays and that the literary texts selected were primarily from an early period (more than a century ago). Furthermore, the results revealed that the coursebooks include a large percentage of inauthentic, ill-adapted works. Consequently, this study recommends incorporating authentic literary texts in EFL coursebooks comprising modern literature.
Determining 1D velocity model from local earthquake data in the South Hangay region, central Mongolia
Authors: Dashdondog Mungunsuren , Chimed Odonbaatar , Meltzer Anne , Erdenetsogt Nomin-Erdene , Stachnik Josh
Published: August 2020

One dimensional (1D) velocity models are still widely used for computing earthquake locations at seismological centers. The location accuracy of an earthquake strongly depends on the velocity model used to compute the location. In the past, the local velocity model developed for the Hangay region was lacking precision due to insufficient data. Within the framework of the “Intracontinental Deformation and Surface Uplift- Geodynamic Evolution of the Hangay Dome, Mongolia, Central Asia” project [15], 72 seismic Broadband stations network were deployed in the Hangay Dome. This gives us an opportunity to estimate the crustal velocity structure of the South Hangay region using recorded local earthquake data. For this purpose, available velocity models for the South Hangay region have been re-evaluated.  By simultaneous invertion P- and S-wave arrival times using VELEST algorithm, we estimated minimum 1D velocity models, station corrections, hypocentre locations, and origin times for the south Hangay region. Consequently, 1D crustal velocity model is proposed for the South Hangay region. This new model is expected to improve the accuracy of the routine hypocenter determination and as initial reference models for seismic tomography study.

In the 21st century, environmental issues, such as climate change, global warming, and air pollution have become a hot topic in many developed and developing countries. At the same time, the proper use of natural resources and the conservation of the environment has become one of the vital issues. Environmental issues require special attention from governments, scientists, scholars, business executives, and even individuals.

Therefore, for any business organization, there is a growing need to integrate environmental management into human resource management, which has been coined as the Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). Researchers have found that the implementation of GHRM policies and practices could effectively improve financial and environmental performance of organizations, improve their competitive advantage, as well as improve their reputation and image, while maintaining environmental management practices.

However, it is being maintained that the term “GHRM” is a relatively new concept for academicians, scholars，and professionals. GRHM-related literature is generally found in western countries, however the concept of GHRM is yet to make its mark in Asia. Therefore, the aim of this research is to explore the concept of GHRM and to propose a model of GHRM and its outcome by reviewing the literature.

Axiological analysis for the role of values in person-centered healthcare
Authors: Marcum James
Published: August 2020

In this paper, an axiological analysis for the role of values in person-centered healthcare is undertaken from aesthetic, epistemic, and ethical perspectives, given the backdrop of a robust notion of personhood. To that end, personhood is first analyzed and conceptualized to provide a practical framework for situating the axiological analysis for the role of values, especially the value of human dignity, in healthcare. In terms of aesthetic values, beauty plays an essential role within person-centered healthcare, especially with respect to the value of wellbeing, and for providing a platform to analyze further both epistemic and ethical values in healthcare. With respect to epistemic values, truth - particularly in terms of the value of competence - plays a critical role in providing effective healthcare. In terms of ethical values, the good, especially with respect to the value of caring, plays a vital role in shaping how both clinicians and patients comport themselves in the clinical encounter. In a concluding section, the significance of the axiological analysis for the role of values in person-centered healthcare, in contrast to healthcare based on the biomedical model, is briefly discussed.
Case-based reasoning
Authors: Tonelli Mark
Published: August 2020

The clinical case has been central to the practice of medicine since its inception, but the perceived value of the case, both a source of knowledge and as the basis for clinical decision making, has declined in the era of evidence-based medicine. Thinking in cases, however, is necessary for the practice of person-centered healthcare, ensuring that the individuality of the case-at-hand is recognized and incorporated into diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The case-at-hand will be compared to other cases, derived from clinical research, pathophysiologic understanding, and clinical experience, as these kinds of cases serve as the repository of medical knowledge. Utilizing analogy and argument, clinicians derive and negotiate warrants relevant to particular patients, in order to make diagnoses, recommendations, and decisions. Case-based reasoning provides a rigorous and explicit framework for delivering person-centered care to individuals seeking healing.
More Person-Centered?: The move from Evidence-Based Medicine to Precision Medicine
Authors: Wieten Sarah
Published: August 2020

While a shift from Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) to Precision Medicine has not yet taken place, I here argue that precision medicine has familiar problems with expertise, causes and values that we can see in Evidence-Based Medicine. Some of these similarities suggest we should be cautious in thinking of precision medicine as more person-centered than EBM.

A Review of Regulatory Theory and the U.S. Casino Industry
Authors: Calcagno Peter T. , Walker Douglas M.
Published: August 2020

The casino industry is one of the most stringently regulated industries in the United States. State governments and their regulatory agencies control almost every aspect of the industry. However, U.S. casino regulation has not received much research attention. We examine the five most applicable economic theories of regulation. Since relevant empirical data of regulatory changes for casinos are sparse, we examine trends of the key variables to evaluate these theories. We categorize and examine trends in state and industry characteristics to determine if any one of these theories best explains the regulation of casinos. Based on our review of the state-level data, we conclude that the legalization and regulation of casinos best conform to a Leviathan theory of government in which the primary policy goal is to maximize government revenues.
Is there such a thing as a safe bet ?
Authors: Zafiris Nicos
Published: August 2020

This paper is an attempt to set out a betting strategy appropriate to events with several possible final outcomes which are a) unambiguously defined and b) likely to show fluctuations in the respective probabilities as the event unfolds. It is then shown that, by placing bets of appropriate magnitude and at appropriate times, such as to take advantage of changing odds, it is possible to secure a certain profit, generally in advance of the outcome becoming known, and irrespective of which of the possible outcomes finally materialises. Furthermore, the bettor should enjoy the reassurance of an improving Net Expected Value (NEV), as the event progresses.The procedure, which may be viewed as a multiple hedging one, is suited to in running betting on individual match events, as well as on protracted seasonal events (such as a league championship in football or other sport). The principal requirement is that there be a reasonable expectation of a large amount of alternation in the relative prospects of at least two contenders. The procedure is outlined in general terms and illustrated with reference to real life football matches and league competitions from the 2015/6 season. It is seen to be profitable under the specified conditions. Apparent advantages in betting on draws and on favourites are discussed.
Casinos in Asia: legalizing gambling in the Chinese province of Hainan, the ideological obstacle
Authors: Goulard Sebastien
Published: August 2020

The successful liberalization of the gaming industry in Macau has incited other Asian destinations to reconsider their position on gambling. For the last ten years, new gaming destinations have emerged in Asia. China has still not yet legalized this industry, but since last year, new policies authorizing sport lotteries have been introduced in the province of Hainan. The objective of this measure is to diversify tourism in that province and make Hainan more attractive for visitors. In case of success, this policy could be expanded to other gaming activities and casinos would be legalized in Hainan, as advocated by the provincial government; but legalizing casinos in Hainan may face several obstacles.This paper aims at showing that the success of Asian casino destinations mainly results from China’s ban on gambling. This study will focus on the history of gambling in China, and the reasons for the continuation of gambling prohibition in China. The author will argue that the ideological opposition plays a similar role as religious movements in Western countries. The paper will be illustrated by a literature review analyzing previous examples in other parts of the world.
