AbstractControllability of complex networks aims to seek the lowest number of nodes (the driver nodes) that can control all the nodes by receiving the input signals. The concept of control centrality is used to determine the power of each node to control the network. The more a node controls the nodes through connections in the network, the more it has the power to control. Although the cooperative and free-rider strategies and the final level of cooperation in a population are considered and studied in the public goods game. However, it is yet to determine a solution to indicate the effectiveness of each member in changing the strategies of the other members. In a network, the choice of nodes effective in changing the other nodes’ strategies, as free-riders, will lead to lower cooperation and vice versa. This paper uses simulated and real networks to investigate that the nodes with the highest control power are more effective than the hubs, local, and random nodes in changing the strategies of the other nodes and the final level of cooperation. Results indicate that the nodes with the highest control power as free-riders, compared to the other sets being under consideration, can lead to a lower level of cooperation and are, therefore, more effective in changing the strategies of the other nodes. The obtained results can be considered in the treatment of cancer. So that, destroying the tumoral cells with the highest control power should be a priority as these cells have a higher capability to change the strategies of the other cells from cooperators to free-riders (healthy to tumoral).

This article is based on the premise that the aid establishment views Africa as probably the world’s last backwater. Simply put, bureaucrats, politicians, and other policymakers in the western world are rather content with Africa’s present status, an attitude that not only accords with their career aspirations, but also spawns a certain amount of sybaritic pleasure about the inclement condition of the continent. It is against this background that this article examines the motives and aspirations of the international observers in the Nigerian electoral process, focusing on the attitudes and the impact of the observers in the 1998 local government elections.International electoral observation and monitoring are an integral part of the global dimensions of democratization. Many writers have averred that one major reason for the upswing in Africa’s quest to democratize is the cessation of the power play between Moscow and Washington.

Background: The notion of “just culture” has become a way for hospital administrations to determine employee accountability for medical errors and adverse events. Method: In this paper, we question whether organizational justice can be achieved through algorithmic determination of the intention, volition and repetition of employee actions. Results and conclusion: The analysis in our paper suggests that the construction of evidence and use of power play important roles in the creation of “justice” after iatrogenic harm.

Resumen. El presente estudio pretende comprobar la eficacia de un protocolo para la enseñanza de las situaciones de juego en desigualdad numérica temporal simple en waterpolo con jugadores alevines. Se diseñaron y aplicaron 20 sesiones teóricas y prácticas sobre las acciones correctas a realizar. Se utilizó la metodología observacional mediante un diseño descriptivo y correlacional de carácter longitudinal. Se analizaron las diferencias entre un grupo experimental y un grupo control en 160 microsituaciones de juego en relación a la consecución de gol, fallo, interceptación y duración de la jugada. Hallando diferencias significativas entre los grupos (χ²(2)=16.99; p<.001; TE=.23), más goles y menos interceptaciones en el grupo experimental. Se concluye que el protocolo utilizado con el grupo experimental es válido, fiable y útil para la enseñanza de las jugadas en desigualdad numérica temporal simple con y sin posesión del balón en waterpolo.Abstract. The present study aims to test the efficacy of a protocol for teaching situations of play in simple temporary numerical inequality in water polo U12 player. 20 theoretical and practical sessions were designed and applied on the correct actions to be taken. Observational methodology was used through a descriptive and correlational longitudinal design. The differences between an experimental group and a control group were analyzed in 160 playing microsituations in relation to the achievement of goal, failure, interception and duration of the play. There were significant differences between groups (χ²(2)=16.99, p<.001; TE=.23), finding more goals and fewer interceptions in the experimental group. It is concluded that the protocol used with the experimental group is valid, reliable and useful for the teaching of plays in simple temporary numerical inequality with and without ball possession in water polo.

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la influencia de los periodos de juego en la dinámica de la acción de juego en desigualdad numérica temporal simple con posesión en waterpolo. Para ello se utilizó un diseño nomotético, multidimensional y de seguimiento. Se analizaron 1230 desigualdades en 95 partidos del Campeonato del Mundo de Waterpolo de Barcelona 2003. Se utilizó la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis para discriminar las categorías con diferencias entre periodos. Posteriormente la prueba U de Mann-Whitney permitió localizar qué periodos de los cuatro diferían entre sí. En la categoría masculina se encontraron diferencias significativas (p < .05) en: lanzamiento frente tenso, posición de lanzamiento izquierda delante, posición de lanzamiento derecha delante, y exclusión sin posesión. Las diferencias alcanzadas en el campeonato femenino fueron: posición de lanzamiento desde el palo derecho, pase previo al lanzamiento desde izquierda detrás, pase previo al lanzamiento desde el palo derecho, duración, parada e introducción del móvil en la portería por el lateral derecho. Se concluye que existe poca variación de la dinámica de la acción de juego en desigualdad entre periodos. El análisis del adversario previo y durante el partido puede ayudar a reducir la incertidumbre de los jugadores y aumentar el rendimiento del equipo.Palabras clave. waterpolo, desigualdad, periodo de juego, masculino, femenino.Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of game periods on dynamics of the game action during power play in water polo. A nomothetic, multidimensional and longitudinal design was used. Power play situations (n = 1230) were analyzed in 95 matches from World Water Polo Championships in Barcelona 2003. To discriminate the categories with differences by periods the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Then the specific differences among periods were found with U Mann-Whitney test. Significant statistical differences (p < .05) were found in men championship: drive shot, origin of shot from left forward, origin of shot from right forward, and exclusion fouls without possession. Differences found in women championships were: origin of shot from right pole, last pass before throwing from left backward, last pass before throwing from right pole, duration, detention and goals on the right side. It was concluded that there were little changes on dynamics of the game in power play between periods. The previous and live match analysis of the opponent team could reduce the incertitude of players and increase team performance.Keywords. water polo, power play, game period, male, female.
