A Statistical Analysis of Games with No Certain Nash Equilibrium Make Many Results Doubtful

Some games may have a Nash equilibrium if the parameters (e.g. probabilities for success) take certain values but no equilibrium for other values. So there is a transition from Nash equilibrium to no Nash equilibrium in parameter space. However, in real games in business and economics, the input parameters are not given. They are typically observed in several similar occasions of the past. Therefore they have a distribution and the average is used. Even if the averages are in an area of Nash equilibrium, some values may be outside making the entire result meaningless. As the averages are sometimes just guessed, the distribution cannot be known. The main focus of this article is to show this effect in an example, and to explain the surprising result by topological explanations. We give an example of two players having three strategies each (e.g. player and keeper in penalty shooting) where we demonstrate the effect explicitly. As the transition of Nash equilibrium to no equilibrium is sharp, there may be a special form of chaos which we suggest to call topological chaos.

The article states that the situation of a full-scale russion invasion of the territory of Ukraine requires the teachers of a higher military educational institution to use optimal ways of their militaryprofessional training during training of future psychologists. These are the ways of interactive teaching methods. Thus, the method of analyzing a specific situation is used in cases where it is necessary to analyze and professionally assess the difficult life situation of a serviceman by future military psychologist. Application of the business game method, which simulates the professional activity of future military psychologists, gives the latter the opportunity to feel like an active actor in a real military-professional situation. The article states that the teacher's use of the business game method in the educational process contributes to the transfer of accumulated long-term military psychological experience for future military psychologists. The authors draw the readers' attention to the fact that the active position of future military psychologists is actualized and reveals its behavioral manifestation in the business game. Describing the features of the use of "brainstorming" as an interactive method of training future military psychologists, the authors emphasize that this method allows the search for new ways of solving military psychological problems through the generation of non-standard ideas. The author's team emphasizes that "brainstorming" as an interactive learning method, contributes to the formation of future military psychologists' confidence in their professional knowledge. The round table method is aimed at developing the cognitive activity of future military psychologists. It is stated, that this method forms in future military psychologists the ability to argue their professional point of view.

Analysis of Predator Avoidance Behavior in California Valley Quail

Quail populations have been in decline across the United States, primarily due to habitat loss and climate. For remedy, landowners and game managers have attempted to restore populations by releasing captive-reared quail. These releases were largely unsuccessful, presumably due to high predation losses. Recently, there has been an increased interest in quail translocations, which tend to have lower mortality rates than captive-reared bird releases. Translocations are expensive and unpredictable, and require many person-hours; releasing captive-reared quail would be more efficient if the practice were successful. We compared predator avoidance behavior between captive-reared and wild-translocated California quail (Callipepla californica) in an aviary using simulated predator attacks (raptorial and mammalian). We recorded predator detection time, antipredator response time, and antipredator response type. Antipredator response type (run, flush, or freeze) frequencies were different, where captive-reared quail ran more frequently than wild-translocated quail when encountering a simulated predator. Predator detection time between captive-reared and wild-translocated quail was not different. However, antipredator response time was quicker for captive-reared quail than wild-translocated quail when subjected to simulated raptorial and mammalian attacks. The differences in antipredator response time and response type may be due to the lack of predator interaction experience of captive-reared birds and offer insight into observed differences in postrelease mortality between captive-reared and wild-trapped quail.

The improvements propositions for players’ engagement and sustainable behaviors in managerial games

The growing game's popularity is caused by their possibilities in decision-making training. Management games allow avoiding potential mistakes related to the business choices, but they require several updates and improvements in terms of context and new trends. The business environment is constantly changing and requires new creative approaches to be trained. One of them is the business greening and realizing the idea of sustainable behavior and engagement in managerial games. This paper aims to propose managerial game improvements to achieve better game engagement and become more interesting for students because of its real business world connection. The object of the research and analysis is the Marketplace®, which is the educational managerial game. In this paper, the game analysis three levels were presented to propose the recommendations for the Marketplace game development. The main finding is that an assessment survey should occur in the game climax, to engage and immerse students in the game. The survey questions should also be reexamined to develop a more dynamic game analysis. Then the game itself has to consist of sustainable development of practical solutions and enable students’ creativity to raise their engagement.

Return to Play and Player Performance After Meniscal Tear Among Elite-Level European Soccer Players: A Matched Cohort Analysis of Injuries From 2006 to 2016.

Background:Meniscal injuries are extremely common in soccer athletes, and little is known about postrecovery performance.Purpose:To (1) identify characteristics associated with return to play (RTP) to the same league level and (2) evaluate long-term effects that injury and management approach may have on player performance.Study Design:Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.Methods:Using publicly available records, we identified athletes who sustained meniscal tears across the 5 major European soccer leagues (English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, and Serie A) between 2006 and 2016. Injured athletes were matched to controls 1:2 by demographics and performance. Investigations included rate of RTP to the same league level, reinjury, player characteristics associated with RTP within 2 seasons, long-term availability, field time, and performance metrics standardized to 90 minutes of play during the next 4 seasons.Results:A total of 250 players sustaining meniscal tears were included, of which 106 (42%) received surgical management. Median absence was 57.5 days (interquartile range [IQR], 35-92) or 7 games (IQR, 4-12). Rate of RTP was 70%, and the reinjury rate 5% if a player could RTP. Age greater than 30 years was a negative predictor for RTP (odds ratio [OR], 0.62; P = .002), whereas higher preinjury goals per game (OR, 2.80; P = .04) and surgical management (OR, 1.38; P = .002) were positive predictors for RTP. Surgical management was associated with higher long-term availability (P < .01). As compared with the control, there were no significant differences in field time or performance metrics after RTP, either overall or by player position. As compared with nonoperative management, defenders undergoing surgery demonstrated decreased field time. Attackers and midfielders demonstrated similar field time and performance regardless of management.Conclusion:RTP of elite soccer athletes sustaining meniscal tear is contingent on age, preinjury performance, and management approach. Those who RTP to the same league level can be expected to demonstrate equivalent field time, performance, and long-term availability as noninjured athletes.

The Impact of Real Manipulation and Tax Management on Future Market Value: An Artificial Intelligence Simulation of High Earnings Quality

Providing empirical proof of the negative impact of manipulation activity pushed management to adhere to the available regulation by publishing high financial reporting quality. This one has a significant effect negatively on a volatile market price movement because of illustrates the actual earnings. It is not an obstacle for the investor in predicting the future return with high accuracy when there is a minimum chance for the opportunity behavior. This causal research has developed a new variable to measure the investor's perception, and it is the future market value as a proxy for future return. The observation data used the samples on the listed company in the industrial manufacturing sector from 2015 until 2020, which amounted to 384 observations. The management's effort to deduct the manipulation activity can be interpreted as the minimum level of misleading information. When the investor has no tolerance for manipulation activity, the management should be "prudent" in designing the accounting treatment policy to illustrate real earnings. It is a sign of high probability in reaching out to the better prospect, proving the interactive feedback between management and investor through the Decision Tree Model and Bayes Theorem. This research has adopted the maximum simplex models as an Artificial Intelligence simulation for maximizing each party's maximum utility as implication game theory, like investors and management in making their strategic decisions. Principally, the regulator should force management to level up the quality of financial reporting because of no tolerance for any infringement on the legal regulations.

Simulation games in business education: the experience of business simulation &amp;quot;Startup: the Limits to Growth&amp;quot;

The article reveals how simulations can be used in the teaching of management disciplines. Despite the high demand from students for interactive teaching methods, simulation games are still of a limited use in business education. This is largely due to the lack of high-quality simulation games, especially considering unique domestic simulations. The article reviews the author’s experience of teaching of “Startup: Limits to Growth” Simulation Game based on the agent approach to modeling in business education. By reviewing the outcomes of many simulation sessions, we analyze the key strategies of participants’ decision-making and their misperception of complex systems. We show that business game participants on average poorly perform the simulation even considering a rather moderate nature of complexity embedded in the game provided by a couple of feedback loops and delay effects. We suggest active use of business simulations in training of contemporary managers to develop their system thinking skills and to train their holistic analysis capabilities in business.
