Abstract:This article addresses the question as to how Jane Guyer's seminal explorations of special traits of West African economies in Marginal Gains (2004) can help us understand variations within the region. This question acquires some urgency—for instance in the Cameroonian context, but elsewhere also—since the dimensions she emphasizes (reciprocity, gain, rank) play a crucial role in quite vicious ethnic stereotypes that increasingly dominate people's perceptions of economic developments. The challenge may be, therefore, to determine how an analysis in terms of disjunctures as an asset for marginal gains can steer clear of the ethnic stereotypes through which people themselves perceive discontinuities in everyday life. Starting from the historical example of the wild-rubber boom in southern Cameroon under German rule (1890–1913) and its chaotic effects at the local level, the article considers how Arjun Appadurai's notion of “tournaments of value” might help us understand such variations.

Tennis and golf, as well as numerous other sports, found their way to Germany in the era of the Wilhelmine Empire. Hoteliers in German health resorts, operators of private sports grounds or commercial playground companies, among others, played a significant role. Uhlenhorst, a district of Hamburg since 1894, was already the venue for major tennis tournaments with international players in the early 1890s. At that time, the London merchant, tennis player and sports official Walter Howard donated a silver cup to the Ice Rink Club on Uhlenhorst (Eisbahnverein auf der Uhlenhorst), which was used as a prize for the “Championship of Hamburg”. This article goes into Walter Howard’s biography and outlines his commitment to Hamburg tennis, which also gave important impulses to women’s tennis.

In those early days, some sports were played as a variation of another. Rugby was one of the sports which was played as a variation of football. Codification of rugby rules took place only in the middle 1800 century and hence, participants of rugby games were a mixture of players from other sports such as tennis and cricket. Also, there was no formal rugby association or players with Singapore representation. The players that played for Singapore were members of the SCC and employees of the BEIC. Back then, they competed in tournaments against the Malayan states and other teams.

Penalties, free-kicks (direct-indirect), throw-ins, corner kicks and goal kicks are known to be as set-pieces. In this study; examination of set-pieces’ effects on scoring goals were targeted and, in this context, the competitions of Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup were analyzed. As a part of this study, 64 competitions of Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup were analyzed depending on penalties and set-pieces (free-kicks, corner kicks and throw-ins etc.) ending with goals. “E-Analyze Soccer” computer program were used to analyze the set-piece organizations in the competitions at the tournament. The findings were registered and interpreted via SPSS (18.0) program upon calculations of frequencies and percentages. 21 (%12.43) of the all goals scored in this tournament were from penalties, 23 (%13.61) from free-kicks, 22 (%13.02) from corner kicks and 2 (%1.18) from throw-ins. Throughout the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup, 169 goals were scored in total with an average of 2.64 goals per game and, 68 (%40.24) of all the goals were recorded as score following the set-pieces. In the tournament, 21 (%72.41) penalties out of 29 resulted with goals. A major part of the goals scored from corner kicks were completed via headings (%77.27) and rest with kicks (%22.73). A great amount of completing goal scoring kicks following corner kicks were recorded with right foot (%81.82) and the rest with left foot (%18.18). As a result, the goals scored after the set-pieces amongst the all goals scored during the World Cup are to be rather important to effect the game and to reserve a considerable place on the scoreboard. Thus, in order to achieve the success through the tournaments and to complete the competitions as aspired, the set-pieces’ effective use and, in defense, the countermeasures to exercise against the set-pieces of opponent teams emerges as a crucial matter. Hereby, it is momentously suggested to accommodate more tactical trainings about set-pieces during the trainings as it might most likely to contribute a lot to team performance.

Özet
Penaltılar, serbest vuruşlar (direkt-endirekt), taç atışları, köşe vuruşları ve kale vuruşları, futbolda duran toplar olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, futbolda duran topların, maçlarda atılan goller üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi ve bu kapsamda Rusya’da düzenlenen 2018 FIFA Dünya kupasındaki müsabakaların analiz edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, 2018 FIFA Futbol Dünya kupasında oynanan 64 müsabakada, kullanılan penaltılar ile duran top sonrası golle sonuçlanan serbest vuruş, köşe vuruşu ve taç atışlarının analizi yapılmıştır. Turnuvada oynanan müsabakalarda, kullanılan duran top organizasyonlarını (penaltı, serbest vuruş, köşe vuruşları ve taç atışları) analiz etmek için bilgisayar ortamında “e-analyze soccer” futbol analiz programı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 18.0 programında kaydedilmiş, frekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplandıktan sonra yorumlanmıştır. Turnuvada atılan gollerin %12.43’ü (21 gol) penaltıdan gelirken, %13.61’inin (23 gol) serbest vuruş, %13.02’sinin (22 gol) köşe vuruşu ve %1.18’inin de (2 gol) taç atışı sonrasında olmak üzere, maç başına 2,64 gol ortalaması ile 2018 FIFA Futbol Dünya kupasında atılan toplam 169 golün 68’inin (%40.24) duran toplar sonrasında gerçekleştiği belirlenmiştir. Turnuvada kullanılan 29 penaltının 21’inin (%72.41) golle sonuçlandığı, köşe vuruşu sonrası atılan gollerin %18.18’inin sol ayakla, %81.82’sinin sağ ayakla kullanılan köşe vuruşları sonrasında oluşurken, gollerin %77.27’si kafa vuruşu ile, %22.73’ü ise ayakla kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, dünya kupasında atılan goller içerisinde duran top organizasyonları sonrasında meydana gelen gollerin oldukça önemli bir yer tuttuğu görülmektedir. Takımların turnuvalarda başarılı olabilmesi ve müsabakalardan istenilen sonuçlarla ayrılabilmeleri açısından, duran topların etkili kullanımı ve kullanılan duran toplara karşı alınacak önlemler üzerine hazırlanmış taktiksel antrenmanlara çalışmalarda daha da fazla yer verilmesinin takım performansına oldukça önemli katkılar sağlayacağı söylenebilir.

This paper focuses on some ethical issues of companies operating in the field of competitive sports including in particular: limited liability vis-à-vis creditors of the companies that discontinued their activities, but were not subject to liquidation, nor bankruptcy petition has been filed; hampered recognisability of individual companies due to frequent changing of their names and names of teams participating in the tournaments; legal and financial status, rights and duties of contestants of these companies are underdefined; company identity is violated due to the pursuing of merger and acquisition strategy. It was decided that the above issues exemplify broader problems between labour and capital in the contemporary enterprise. Addressing of the above issues is a tough and complicated process, and sometimes simply impossible in the situation where sports have been recognised as equal sphere of business activities and where basic rules of market economy are respected also with reference to this sphere of life.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a subject of great interest to both theoreticians and practitioners of management as well as to international organisations that promote this idea among existing enterprises. Despite many years of research on CSR, there is no single binding definition of this concept, therefore for the needs of this publication, the definition of Archie B. Carroll, and the resulting approach to CSR implementation in companies, has been adopted. The aim of the article is to analyse CSR activities undertaken by FC Barcelona in the framework of a system derived from Carroll’s CSR pyramid, therefore its activities have been divided into four groups corresponding to the dimension of financial, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities. Due to the commercialisation of football, FC Barcelona is treated as a global enterprise, considering, however, the specificity of regulations governing the sports sector as well as goods and services offered by the club. The research has been based on an analysis of literature and available documents published by the club itself as well as by international organisations regulating football tournaments on national and international levels. The study has indicated that FC Barcelona is taking action in all the dimensions of social responsibility highlighted in Carroll’s pyramid and can be seen as a socially responsible organisation, at the same time meeting expectations of its stakeholders.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of technical trainings applied 10-12 age tennis players on their stroke performances. 16 male tennis players joined to the study who are in Isparta and match in tournaments as individuals regularly. These were detected from players that mean of age was 10,62±,80 years, mean of height was 144,06±8,28 cm and mean of weight was 38,75±9,04 kg. Trainings were applied to the players as technical 3 days a week and as condition 1 day a week. ITN test (International Tennis Number) were applied to test the stroke performances. Datas were compared by using “Paired t Test” at SPSS 18.0 statistic programme. Differences were found to be statistically significant at result of comparing stroke performances’ pre-posttests (p<0,05). This study shows the regular technical and conditional trainings’ positive effects on performance and provides recommendations to trainers and sport scientists about planning, programming a training and defining performance criteria.

Purpose: To determine and compare the external match load, according to sport class (FT), of footballers with cerebral palsy (CP) during the International Federation of CP Football World Championships Qualification Tournament. Methods: Forty-two international male footballers with CP participated in the data collection. The footballers with CP were classified according to their FT into 3 groups (ie, FT5/6, FT7, and FT8). External match load (ie, total distance covered, distance covered at different speeds, accelerations, decelerations, player load, peak metabolic power, and changes of directions) was collected for both halves during official matches with global positioning system devices. Results: Players with lower impairment (FT8) covered more distance (effect size = 0.30–0.60) at high-intensity running (13.0–18.0 km·h−1) and sprinting (>18.0 km·h−1) and performed more (effect size = 0.29–1.08) accelerations, decelerations, and changes of direction at high intensity in matches than did other players (ie, FT5/6 and FT7 groups). Conclusion: Because high-intensity actions are relevant to football performance and there are differences caused by players’ impairments, the International Federation of CP Football classification protocols should include high-intensity actions during the technical assessment as part of the procedures for determining the sport class of football players with CP.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the initial allocation of pollution permits in a dynamic tradeable market. Tradeable pollution permit markets are an increasingly common method of environmental regulation and it is apparent that future schemes may have a number of repeated compliance periods. It is important to consider how and to what extent the dynamic allocation of pollution permits determines the market efficiency at the equilibrium. This objective is developed in three parts. First, Part I introduces the topic and sets out the current relationships that exist between the initial allocation of permits and market efficiency and finds strong links between the two. It is shown that markets with imperfect competition, transaction costs or multiple periods can result in links between the initial allocation and market efficiency. In Part II, a generalised model is created to investigate the optimality of dynamic permit allocations and finds the dynamic use of grandfathering (free allocation based on emissions information) permits is, in general, sub-optimal. It is argued that alternative dynamic mechanisms should be considered, such as auctions and other relative performance mechanisms. Part II is concluded by an investigation into the link between market efficiency, dynamic initial allocations and firms' lobbying over a permit allocation. Firms have the ability to determine their permit allocation by their choice of emissions and lobbying activity. It is shown that in some circumstances, lobbying activity may alter market efficiency and may result in reductions in social welfare. In Part III, an alternative dynamic allocation mechanism is considered, namely a rank-ordered contest, which can optimally allocate permits and simultaneously accomplish a predetermined secondary policy objective. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the policy implications and future work associated with this research.

The Historical Research on Taiwan Elementary School Sports Tournaments during the Initial Stage of Japanese Governance(1895-1911) January, 2007 Chin Hsiang-Pin Advisor:Tasi, Jen-Shiung ABSTRACT Developing smoothly, sports tournaments were introduced into Taiwan by the Japanese colonial government a hundred years ago. From colonial and modernistic points of view, this paper intends to investigate the origin and the process of development of Taiwan elementary school sports tournaments during the initial stage of Japanese governance, and to make an inquiry into the activities held by the sports tournaments and how they influence Taiwanese. The findings of the research: During the initial stage of Japanese governance, the first school sports tournament held by the first branch of kukogo school was the “trip on foot” on December, 12th, 1896. As the beginning of Taiwan elementary school sports tournament, the “trip on foot” was merely a rough model. The form of it was not established until 1901. Then, sports tournaments based on gymnastics and various competitions were separated from the “trip on foot.” On November, 23rd, 1897, the first sports tournament named “united sports tournament” was held by the first and the second branch of kukogo school. Since 1905, sports tournaments had become popular among Taiwan elementary schools. As for the goal of sports tournaments, the difference between the Taiwan elementary schools and the Japan elementary schools was that the former put emphasis on hygiene. And one unique purpose of the public elementary schools during this stage was the promotion of entering school. As for the meeting date, the sports tournaments were held on national holidays in order to convey the nationalism of the emperor of Japan. The same concept was also conveyed implicitly through the decoration and the form of the tournaments so as to teach the young colonial citizen loyalty and patriotism. Lastly, the sports tournaments not only played the role of superior checking the gymnastics in school, they also introduced modern sports, enriching the development of physical education indirectly. In short, being regarded as the best display of conveying the concept of sports, Taiwan elementary school sports tournaments had become a routine. And the Japanese colonial government showed the power of doctrines by holding them. From personal points of view, I consider sports tournaments as the first step of educating Taiwanese. Key words: the initial stage of Japanese governance, Taiwan elementary school, sports tournaments.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract The main aim of this chapter is to present an account of the work of Bose, Shrikhande, Parker and others which culminated in the 1960 proof that two mutually orthogonal Latin squares (MOLS) of order n exist whenever n ≠2 or 6. Since this has been established indirectly via Theorems 1.3.5 and 3.4.1, there is strictly no need for a further proof. However, a particularly elegant constructive one is readily available. This proof was published independently by Bose (1938) and Stevens (1939), but, remarkably, the construction is present in E.H. Moore’s long 1896 paper.

Abstract Query 6 on page 48 of the Lady’s and Gentleman’s Diary for 1850 was posed by Kirkman as follows. Fifteen young ladies in a school walk out three abreast for seven days in succession: it is required to arrange them daily, so that no two shall walk twice abreast. Writing later that year, Kirkman said of the problem that it was ‘hardly worthy of mention if it were not that it has excited, as I hear, some attention among a far higher class of readers than those for whom the first 48 pages of the Diary are intended. I hit upon this pretty problem four years ago...’. It had certainly aroused interest.

Abstract A Steiner triple system is simply a block design with k = 3 and λ= 1. This choice of parameters is one of the simplest which could be made, and the corresponding designs form one of the first families of designs for which existence was established. Without knowing of Kirkman’s work. Steiner came across the problem of the existence of such designs in a geometrical context in 1853, and publicized the problem. The designs were therefore to become known as Steiner triple systems. This is particularly unfair on Kirkman, since not only did Kirkman provide an existence proof, but Steiner did not. Reiss published a proof shortly afterwards which is essentially identical to Kirkman’s, and later on many other mathematicians, beginning with Moore in 1893, gave a variety of different proofs. Kirkman’s own proof has been undeservedly neglected.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract Unlike all other major American team sports, professional major-league baseball gained cultural primacy in the United States long before the amateur and semiprofessional games. Although amateur and semiprofessional play sustained the game as the national pastime for more than a century, professional baseball fundamentally shaped the way that most Americans have played and thought about the sport. The creation of the National League in 1876 spawned the key elements-league structure; territorial franchise monopolies; annual championship tournaments; the “reserve clause”; assignment of game officials; and revenue sharing-that dominated commercialized American sports for more than a century. Given the fact that basketball was not invented until 1891 and that professional football only materialized in institutional form in the 1920s, baseball was the only leading American professional sport until after World War I. Despite the ascendancy of amateurism during the late nineteenth century, professional baseball, although an anomaly for its time, provided a model for Americans in understanding big-time commercialized sports.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The paper gives a brief analysis of the perception of Griboedov's persona and his legacy as a diplomat in those countries whose political history was greatly influenced by his professional activities. In Russia, he is mainly known as a playwright and composer although it was Griboedov who drafted the Turkmanchay Treaty according to which the country acquired the significant Persian territories in the Caucasus after its military successes. This suggests that in his own country he is not recognised as a talented diplomat due to the myth created right after the massacre in the Russian mission. According to this myth, or fake news, produced as a ‘Narrative of the Proceedings of the Russian mission to Persia' and published in the Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (vol. 28, 1830), Griboedov was accused of his own death being “professionally unsuitable”. The Narrative seems to be the result of the agreed collective efforts of the Foreign Offices of three countries: Russia, Persia and Great Britain, and needs drastic revision. In Iran, who lost its geopolitically extremely important northern territories, Griboedov is still associated with a global political catastrophe and humiliation, exacerbated by the “embarrassment” of “uncivilised behaviour” towards a foreign envoy. As a result, even in our days only a mentioning of his name instantly provokes a furious reaction, similar to the one that led to the Tehran tragedy in February 1828. In Armenia, Griboedov is a national hero, thanks to whom the Armenian families, moved to Persia several centuries earlier, were able to return to the Caucasus. In Azerbaijan, the reaction is naturally quite the opposite as this created the insoluble Qarabagh problem. In Georgia, the attitude towards Griboedov who used to be perceived a part of the local aristocratic establishment has changed dramatically since its independence. In recent years he has become increasingly associated with the idea of Russian colonial policy and imperial ambitions in the Caucasus. British diplomacy regarding Griboedov had the most successful results: his name was erased from the annals of the Great Game, the Russo-British ‘tournament of shadows' in Persia, in which he played a key role, but his case was ‘consigned to eternal oblivion'. This publication is an attempt to restore the historical justice and reputation of Griboedov as a brilliant diplomat and politician with stately mind.
