Play Labor from the Perspective of Marx's Alienated Labor

The play labor under Marx's alienated labor vision refers to the play as the purpose of the labor, this kind of labor is affected by consumer culture, street sports activities, electronic games and so on. This article through the analysis of Marx's alienated labor theory, and from the daily life of the selection of electronic games this case to explain the alienation mechanism behind the play labor, pointing out the new situation of players being exploited by capital. This paper analyzes Marx's alienated labor theory and makes an in-depth analysis of "play labor from the perspective of Marx's alienated labor". Through the analysis, it can be seen that play labor is a special form of alienated labor which is influenced by consumer culture, street sports activities and electronic games. It not only makes people feel "invisibly enslaved", but also affects the way of behavior and thinking in People's Daily life. In the current social environment, people are used to accepting the fast-food culture, lack of judgment and self-control, it is easy to become a free worker in the game industry chain under the cover of the casual meaning of online games. With the deep integration and development of platform capitalism and information capitalism, digital media technology has gradually erased the boundaries between reality and virtual, leisure and labor. Scholars have attributed this behavior of participating in online games for the purpose of entertainment and leisure and generating a large amount of surplus value for game companies to a new form of digital labor -- play labor.

RECOGNITION OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS CONTRACTS BY MEANS OF THE ACTIVE MARKET

The paper provides a theoretical analysis based on the idea that the active market is the main determinant of human capital recognition in the financial statements within football industry. The study represents a general review of the authors concerning the situation of players' contracts registration which may influence the management decision processes of companies operating inside and outside of the football arena. The paper can help the managers of firms operating in other industries than football to discover insights about the possibilities of recognition of human capital rights in the financial statements. We have used the archive method for documents such as UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations and Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players. The paper contributes to the literature by analysing the situation of football players' rights being recorded in the financial statements in order to inform future research in the field.

Bargaining with Two-Person-Groups - On the Insignificance of the Patient Partner

Although many real bargaining situations involve more than two people, much of the theoretical and experimental research concentrates on the two player situation. We study the simplest possible extension: four people (two two-person groups) of different patience bargain with each other. Theoretically, only the more patient member of each group should be relevant for the outcome. The less patient members would agree to any outcome and are, hence, irrelevant. We find, however, that the impact of the patient member can be quite small.

Efficacy of traditional sport tournament structures

The ranking abilities of some traditional sport tournaments under a variety of initial conditions were analyzed using Monte Carlo procedures. A range of outcome measures were used since a tournament’s efficacy will likely depend upon both its objectives and the playing abilities of its contestants. The traditional knockout (KO) is a weak tournament in its ability to rank all players although it requires fewer games than the round robin (RR). The KO tournament’s efficacy is notably enhanced, however, in some cases beyond that of the RR tournament if double elimination procedures are used and the seeding is reasonably accurate. Under these conditions, we consider the KO structure to be the best available structure for most tournament purposes. A secondary recommendation of this study is that the fourth and fifth placings be reversed in the traditional KO structures for ranking all players in the eight player situation.

On the use of the ranking function approach to solve fuzzy matrix games in a direct way

A general method of solving fuzzy matrix games is presented. This method is suitable when players choose their fuzzy number ranking procedures in a wide class, i.e., that which may be represented by means of a linear ranking functions. In the first case described both players use the same criterion to rank fuzzy numbers and in the second case each player uses different criteria. Several situations of players' knowledge are analyzed in the second case, and game solutions are provided in all of them.
