Low Wages

The article examines the behavior of students and employers as a bimatrix game. With the tools of game theory, it is generally proven that the optimal strategy for employers is to pay low wages, and for students – not to study or to study too little. These two strategies form the Nash’s equilibrium in pure strategies. No specific numbers were used in the evidence, but only plausible assumptions about the relationships between the used parameters. This generalizes the conclusions made in the general case of higher education. Such a study of the question using game theory has not been done yet.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.

The conclusion has been made about the necessity to choose the optimal strategies for management by geotechnical systems, based on the analysis of geological faults, which are the main indicator of the mining and geological conditions that characterize the mineral deposits, as well as on the parameters for the infrastructure development of the underground space. The methodological peculiarity of solving the problems set is the use of game theory with modified criteria of Wald, maximax and Savage, since the manifestation of specific geological faults is probabilistic in nature. When choosing the optimal strategy, the average linear deviations of gains or risks are taken into account.

This article takes stock of the aspects of higher education provision invested in the fight against the phenomenon of dropping out of university. These aspects are exposed from a review of the literature on higher education reforms in Morocco since 1999. Chronologically, they are reviewed in the National Charter for Education and Training 1999, in the Plan of Emergency 2009-2012, in the Action Plan 2013-2016, and finally, in the Strategic Vision of the Reform 2015-2030. It is concluded that despite the efforts made in quantitative retention étudiantsà university until graduation, progress still to make qualitatively.

Classical Game Theory

A symmetric game consists of a set of pure strategies indexed by {0, …, n} and a real payoff matrix (aij). When two players choose strategies i and j the payoffs are aij and aji to the i-player and j-player respectively. In classical game theory of Von Neumann and Morgenstern [16] the payoffs are measured in units of utility, i.e., desirability, or in units of some desirable good, e.g. money. The problem of game theory is that of a rational player who seeks to choose a strategy or mixture of strategies which will maximize his return. In evolutionary game theory of Maynard Smith and Price [13] we look at large populations of game players. Each player's opponents are selected randomly from the population, and no information about the opponent is available to the player. For each one the choice of strategy is a fixed inherited characteristic.

There are many various methods, techniques and materials for constructing multifunctional inverted flat roofs now. However, in practice, the constructed roofs of this type often have various defects, whose elimination is rather costly. To solve this problem, the analysis of multifunctional inverted flat roofs has been performed and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as building defects and mistakes made in the course of construction, have been demonstrated. Damp-proofing materials available on the market for making waterproofing membranes for multifunctional inverted flat roofs have been evaluated. The problem of choosing the most effective membrane alternative for the investigated type of roofs is solved by analysing ten alternatives with the help of multi-criteria evaluation method, SAW and three game theory rules determined by Hurwicz, Laplace and Bayes, as well as LEVI 3.0 program. The analysis of the results has shown that the alternative No. 5 is the best membrane alternative among the ten considered options.

Traditionally, game theory problems were considered for exact data, and the decisions were based on known payoffs. However, this assumption is rarely true in practice. Uncertainty in measurements and imprecise information must be taken into account. The interval-based approach for handling such uncertainties assumes that one has lower and upper bounds on payoffs. In this paper, interval bimatrix games are studied. Especially, we focus on three kinds of support set invariancy. Support of a mixed strategy consists of that pure strategies having positive probabilities. Given an interval-valued bimatrix game and supports for both players, the question states as follows: Does every bimatrix game instance have an equilibrium with the prescribed support? The other two kinds of invariancies are slight modifications: Has every bimatrix game instance an equilibrium being a subset/superset of the prescribed support? It is computationally difficult to answer these questions: the first case costs solving a large number of linear programs or mixed integer programs. For the remaining two cases a sufficient condition and a necessary condition are proposed, respectively.

THE LEGAL LIMITATIONS ON STATEMENTS MADE BY ADVISORS

Academic advisors serve a useful and necessary function in higher education. The nature of the academic advisor's role requires that he or she receive and transmit information concerning advisees. In fulfilling this role, an advisor is often defined by the legal concept of “agent.” This entitles the advisor to specific legal privilege, but it also holds the advisor accountable for actions taken within the scope of his or her employment. Acting beyond this scope could be grounds for personal liability rather than liability as an agent of the college or university. This article outlines the legal parameters that define the liability of an advisor for statements made in transmitting information to or about students.
