  • 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).

  • South Korean Identities in Strategies of Engagement with North Korea: a Case Study of President Kim Dae-Jung's Sunshine Policy
    South Korean Identities in Strategies of Engagement with North Korea: A Case Study of President Kim Dae-jung's Sunshine Policy Volume II Son Key-young A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy GRADUATE SCHOOL Of EAST ASIAN STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD June 2004 Chapter Six. Case Study II: Hyundai's Mt. Kumgang Tourism Project 1. Introduction This case study seeks to bring to light the interplay of mUltiple actors and their diverse ideas involved in a controversial cross-border tourism project implemented by Hyundai, one of the largest South Korean conglomerates, and their collective contributions to South Koreans' identity shifts vis-a-vis North Korea and inter-Korean economic integration. The inseparability between the Hyundai project and President Kim's Sunshine Policy raises the two conflicting questions: 'was the Hyundai project simply a brainchild of the Sunshine Policy?' or 'was it the Hyundai project that helped jumpstart the Sunshine Policy and rescued the initially ill-fated policy?,l These questions are reminiscent of the time-honoured query: 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?' In fact, the strategic convergence of the Sunshine Policy and the Hyundai project made it possible for South Koreans to travel to North Korea for the first time in five decades of national division. Therefore, supporters of the Sunshine Policy shed light on the project's historical significance as a catalyst for trust building, reconciliation and economic integration between North and South Korea (Moon 1999; Kim and Yoon 1999; Koh 200 1; Kim K.S. 2002), while its critics highlight the project's shortcomings in terms of transparency, reciprocity, market principles and financial viability (Tait 2003; Levin and Han 2002).
