An exploratory study in to the money laundering threats, vulnerabilities, and controls within the UK bookmaker sector, with a specific focus on Fixed-Odds Betting Terminals

The purpose of this exploratory study was to generate an understanding in to the money laundering threats, vulnerabilities and controls found within UK betting shops, with a direct focus on the exponential growth of Fixed-Odd Betting Terminals. Qualitative research methods facilitated eight semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders linked to the gambling and/or money laundering sphere. This included the Gambling Commission, Campaign for Fairer Gambling, an ex-Head of Security and Safety at a major bookmaker, and five regular Fixed-Odd Betting Terminal users. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded for thematic analysis, subsequently resulting in the emergence of four interesting and meaningful themes. These were (1) Ineffective CDD enforcement facilitating anonymity (2) Weak anti-money laundering safeguards unable to mitigate known threats (3) A lack of anti-money laundering training, awareness, and resources (4) The Gambling Commission’s attempt for increased anti-money laundering regulation unsuccessful. By allowing a phenomenological framework to guide the data collection process, the interpreted subjective views and experiences of the participants involved, although somewhat limited, indicate that money laundering threats within the bookmaker sector are inherently high, with a lack of effective safeguards in place to mitigate the identified vulnerabilities

The role of the family in traditional judaism.

In questo contributo viene esaminato il ruolo della famiglia nei testi tradidionali rabbinici e in alcuni filosofi ebrei medievali. Viene messo in evidenza il differente ruolo di "padre" e "madre" legato al genere, sia nelle fonti tradizionali sia in alcuni testi filosofici medievali. A partire dalla più antiche esegesi del testo biblico, fino ad arrivare ad alcuni testi filosofico-esegetici del quattordicesimo secolo, è interessante notare alcune linee interpretative che si ritrovano come costanti in un lunghissimo arco temporale e che possono suggerire riflessioni stimolanti per il mondo contemporaneo

THE COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN LEARNING ENGLISH VOCABULARY BY USING DESUGGESTOPEDIA AND STUDENT TEAMSACHIEVEMENT DIVISION (STAD) FOR THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS AT SMPN 15 CIREBON

Pepi Nurpalah, 58430595: “The Comparative Study Between Learning English Vocabulary By Using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) Method And Desuggestopedia Method For The Second Year Students At SMPN 15 Cirebon” The communication between one and another people need an instrument that is used for communicating, that is language. Language is the system of sounds and words used by humans to express their thoughts and feelings. In teaching language, it is important to teach its vocabulary. In this case, the writer compares the student’s achievement in vocabulary by using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method and Desuggestopedia Method. The meaning of Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method is the instructional use of small groups that allows students to work together to maximize their own and each other as learning. Desuggestopedia is one of the strangest “humanistic approaches”. The methodology of research is quantitative approach. It means that the data which is obtained from the field of the research then analyzed statistically by means of numbers by using the t-test (t-observed) formula. The objectives of the research are to find out the data about the students’ achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method and Desuggestopedia Method, and to find out the data if there is any positive and significant comparison between them. The population of the research is all the second year students at SMPN 15 Cirebon (259 students and sample 74). The average score of the student’s achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method is 8.08 and the average score of the student’s achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Desuggestopedia is 7.32. The score 8.08 means the student’s achievement in learning English vocabulary by using STAD is very good category and the score 7.32 means the students’ achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Desuggestopedia is good category. Meanwhile, the writer knows that the result of “to” (t–observed) is 2.62. And finds that the critical value of “t-table” with the significance 5% and the degree of freedom (df) 72, the critical value is 2.00. This means that the null hypothesis (H0) stated by the writer in chapter one is accepted because the value of “t-observed” (2.62) is higher than the value of “t-table” (2.00). This indicates that there is a positive and significant comparison between the students’ achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method and Desuggestopedia Method for the second year students of SMPN 15 Cirebon. The student’s achievement in learning English vocabulary by using Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) method is better than Desuggestopedia Method
