Choosing to see: designing accessible video games for visually impaired players

As players when thinking of playing video games some memories come to mind, and those images and memories involve people playing around a screen, something very normal when performing such action. But what happens to those that can’t see properly? Or those that can see at all? How can they play? The word video game already includes “video” on it, something that involves the use of the sight. And in their origin video games were something that was created having in mind that the players would be able to use the visual feedback as a way to interact with the game itself. But technology and science have evolved in the last 50 years and nowadays it is possible for a completely blind player to play and finish a 30 h long video game. Of course this is not the case for the great majority of video games. Most video games developed in the last 20 years have little to no accessibility options, and even the ones that are currently released by big companies and studios rarely meet the expectations. Living in the 21st century in an advanced and technologic world where even VR games can be played at home, not having proper Accessibility options for the players seems wrong. As developers Accessibility is something that should be taken into account in each game and project worked on from now on. The objective of this paper is not to expose or criticize video game studios in the industry but quite the opposite. The goal of this paper is to inform and educate others and myself on a topic that must concern every developer and that should be something to take into account from the beginning of the development, how to make a video game more accessible for all players, especially for players with visual disabilitie

ANALISIS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY RATIO DAN COST EFFICIENCY RATIO TERHADAP NET PROFIT MARGIN BANK MANDIRI TBK

This research aims to examine the influence of operational efficiency ratio (OER) and cost efficiency ratio (CER) toward net profit margin (NPM) at Bank Mandiri,Tbk. The back ground of this research done is due  to  the bank’s low rate  in obtaining NPM.Based on the  classical assumption test’s result,  the  two independent variables chosen in this research are normally distributed with no disorder found. According to the correlationtest’s result, it is found that OER correlates to the NPM as high as 95.6% while the CER correlates to the NPM as high as 92.7%. In addition, based on the R-square test’s result, it is found that both independent variables are   high as 91.6%f or each change in the NPM.Based on the F test, it is found that both independent variables ,including OER & CER have significant influence toward NPM simultaneously , in which the P-value less than 0.05 (5%).The t-test’s result, however, shows that OER has negative and effect toward NPM partially, while the CER  has the positive effect and the two variables have no significant effect partially. Therefore, the step wise test is required to be done in order to get which variable that issignificant partially. And this results that OER has significant and negative effect toward NPM partially with P-value less than 0.05 (5%) and t-calculated value [-8.030] > t-table [1.860]

Networks of Influence: Implementing Politically Sustainable Multinational Stakeholder Strategies

In a bid to gain stakeholder support for their operations, multinational firms operating in politically uncertain environments often inappropriately apply a rational financial approach to a sociopolitical problem. Using the tools of network theory, I present an alternative sociopolitical approach to gaining stakeholder support by engendering cooperative relations and increasing tie formation while minimizing conflict. This dissertation comprises three paper chapters. The first, theory, paper chapter outlines a theory of influence exploring how the firm\u27s strategic position within the network of stakeholders affords it positional benefits of information and reputation, while also highlighting the costs of exposure to pre-existing conflict and the fostering of conflict through asymmetric relations. The second, empirical, paper chapter explores how firms can best manage altercentric and egocentric uncertainty in the nonmarket environment and compares the efficacy of the ex ante strategies that the firm can use to manage both types of uncertainty. I hypothesize and find that through strategic network positioning that affords it information, the firm can manage its egocentric uncertainty; and, by managing how it is perceived through its associations, the firm can also manage stakeholders\u27 altercentric uncertainty. When both strategies are assessed together, I find greater returns to firms in terms of engendering cooperation, minimizing conflict and forming ties by managing altercentric uncertainty through strategic associations. In the third, also empirical, paper chapter, I use insights from structural balance theory to explore the relationship between dyadic structure and triadic closure among networks of actors in the sociopolitical context. I outline and test hypotheses of four types of structural homophily of the actors in the triad—access to resources, status, likeability and number of ties (popularity)—on the likelihood of the closure of that triad. I find that a link that closes an open directed triad is more likely when the actors of the triad have different access to resources, different status, and similar numbers of ties to other actors. I also find that likeability among actors in the triad has no impact on the likelihood of closing that triad. My empirical papers test the relationships among firms and stakeholders in a novel hand-coded database of 51,754 stakeholder events linking 4,623 unique stakeholders of a population of 19 publicly traded gold mining firms which operate 26 mines in 20 largely emerging economies
