  • Analysis of Different Types of Turnovers Between Winning and Losing Performances in Men’S NCAA Basketball
    한국컴퓨터정보학회논문지 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information Vol. 25 No. 7, pp. 135-142, July 2020 JKSCI https://doi.org/10.9708/jksci.2020.25.07.135 Analysis of different types of turnovers between winning and losing performances in men’s NCAA basketball 1)Doryung Han*, Mark Hawkins**, HyongJun Choi*** *Honorary principal professor, Major of Security secretary Studies Continuing Education Center, Kyonggi University, Seoul, Korea **Head coach, Performance Analysis of Sport, University of Wales, UK ***Associate Professor, Dept. of Physical Education (Performance Analysis in Sport), Dankook University, Yongin, Korea [Abstract] Basketball is a highly complex sport, analyses offensive and defensive rebounds, free throw percentages, minutes played and an efficiency rating. These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).

    Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Chair Ann Anagnost Stevan Harrell Danny Hoffman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2018 Darren T. Byler University of Washington Abstract Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies This study argues that Uyghurs, a Turkic-Muslim group in contemporary Northwest China, and the city of Ürümchi have become the object of what the study names “terror capitalism.” This argument is supported by evidence of both the way state-directed economic investment and security infrastructures (pass-book systems, webs of technological surveillance, urban cleansing processes and mass internment camps) have shaped self-representation among Uyghur migrants and Han settlers in the city. It analyzes these human engineering and urban planning projects and the way their effects are contested in new media, film, television, photography and literature. It finds that this form of capitalist production utilizes the discourse of terror to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems that employs millions of state security workers. The project also presents a theoretical model for understanding how Uyghurs use cultural production to both build and refuse the development of this new economic formation and accompanying forms of gendered, ethno-racial violence.

  • Export Penalty Cases
    MSR Visual Compliance: Welcome SAMPLE CASES Going to prison or paying a large fine for an export violation seems hypothetical or imaginary until it happens to you. These possibilities are horrifying to both individuals and businesses. But, regretably, American businesses and businesspeople are convicted and fined, and American businesspeople do go to jail. There are both civil and criminal penalties. The heaviest fines are for willful, criminal convictions (currently up to $1 million, increasing to up to $10 million or ten times the value of the export when the new Export Administration Act is passed). Civil penalties are not as harsh, but still consequential. http://www.visualcompliance.com/export_penalties.cfm (1 of 59) [12/13/02 11:21:12 AM] MSR Visual Compliance: Welcome In addition to fines and prison terms under criminal and civil sanctions, there are administrative sanctions (including denial of export privileges and exclusion from practice), statutory sanctions, seizure and forfeiture, cross- debarment, denial of licenses or approvals, and suspensions of the right to contract with the United States Government. Below are some sample cases. Sample case material courtesy of the United States Government Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). THOMPSON/CENTER ARMS CO., INC. The Department of Commerce has imposed a $25,000 civil penalty on Thompson/Center Arms Co., Inc. of Rochester, New Hampshire, on May 8, 2002 in settlement of allegations that the company exported rifle and pistol scopes from the United States without the required export licenses.
