End stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a prevalent health issue across the world and it is well established that kidney transplantation (KT), specifically from a living donor, is currently the best value-based treatment method. Ergo, it is crucial to invest heavily in making this care strategy the best possible option for the majority of eligible patients. Barriers to the kidney transplant process are mainly related to education and accessibility: awareness of the clinical and societal relevance of the therapy must be promoted at the level of patients, clinicians and health providers. A health-literacy-focused website has been developed as part of this, aiming to provide the general population, particularly potential organ receptors and donors, with better access to trustworthy information and data. This was meant to be the effective expression of knowledge diffusion and innovation as a result of an academic master thesis. This communication-focused digital resource is designed to combat these obstacles and to create a long-lasting, positive and significant impact.

De rol van verpleegkundig specialisten in het realiseren van goede zorg impliceert een actieve inzet bij innovatie en onderzoek. Op deze rol worden verpleegkundig specialisten al tijdens hun opleiding voorbereid door het schrijven van hun master thesis. De kwaliteit van zorg roept de vraag op naar de aard van de kennis die daarvoor nodig is en ook hoe deze kennis tot stand komt. Na een filosofische beschouwing over de objectiviteit of de subjectiviteit van kennis wordt geponeerd dat het kritisch realisme een uitweg biedt uit deze discussie en bovendien een pragmatische benadering mogelijk maakt voor onderzoek ten behoeve van innovaties. Het kritisch realisme zullen we vertalen naar een praktisch model voor verpleegkundig specialisten die innovatie onderzoek doen. Het model zal geïllustreerd worden aan de hand van een praktijkvoorbeeld. Uiteindelijk zal de kritisch realistische onderzoekspraktijk recht doen aan de emancipatoire gedachte die in de gezondheidszorg en het kwaliteitsdenken sterk aanwezig is.

Violence against women is a still existent worldwide phenomenon. The scope of the present article is to illustrate the terminological variety of glossary entries according to ISO 12616: 2002 (F). The examples and methodology are those used in the terminological work I undertook when writing my Master Thesis (consisting in a bilingual legal terminological glossary) on violence against women.

Citation in academic writing used to demonstrate the authors’ knowledge to previous works in the same field of the study. Reporting verbs is one of the most fundamental components of citation in academic writing. This study investigated the frequency of the most used reporting verbs and their function in the Introduction sections of Master thesis written by Iraqi students. Francis (1996) verb groups and explanation were adapted to show the most used reporting verbs. The results show that the highest reporting verbs were found in using “Argue” group of reporting verbs, which suggest uncertainty or disagreement with the author’s line of argument. However, it appears that master students limited to much extent using Think group of verbs in writing the introduction section of their theses, this may be attributed to the master student’s tendency to use specific reporting verbs that did not allow to make a great degree of overlapping.

Die COVID-19-Krise führte im März 2020 zur Schließung des gesamten österreichischen Schulbetriebs, was zur Folge hatte, dass Präsenzunterricht durch Distance Learning ersetzt werden musste. Der Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse einer Master-Thesis vor, die das Ziel verfolgte, die technische und organisatorische Umsetzung von Distance Learning während der COVID-19-Krise an den steirischen Mittelschulen im Sommersemester 2019/20 zu untersuchen. An der schriftlichen Befragung nahmen 69 steirische Mittelschulleitungen teil. Der Beitrag beschreibt die schulischen Anordnungen, die Implementierung der Schulinitiativen und das Arrangement der Tools für Lern- und Lehrszenarien. Die Ergebnisse der Befragung zeigen, dass mehr als die Hälfte der steirischen Mittelschulen im Beobachtungszeitraum im Distance Learning keinem extra dafür erstellten Konzept für dessen Durchführung folgten. Videokonferenzen wurden von vielen Schulleitungen angeordnet und E-Mails stellten das beliebteste Kommunikationsmittel dar. Online Lern- und Arbeitsplattformen wurden vermehrt eingesetzt, aber auch auf das Bereitstellen gedruckter Lernmaterialien wurde großer Wert gelegt.

Pipelines for Text Classification are sequences of tasks needed to be performed to classify documents. The pre-processing phase of these pipelines involves different ways of manipulating documents for the learning phase. This Master Thesis introduces three new steps into the traditional pre-processing phase: 1) Meta-Features Generation; 2) Sparsification; and 3) Selective Sampling. Our experimental results, based on more than 5.600 measurements, show that our proposal can achieve significant gains in effectiveness when compared to the traditional TF-IDF representation (up to 52%) and word embeddings (up to 46%), at a much lower cost (9.7x faster). Our Master Thesis also includes a thorough and rigorous evaluation of the trade-offs between cost and effectiveness associated with the introduction of these new steps into the pipeline, as well as a comprehensive comparative experimental evaluation of many alternatives. This thesis falls under the topics of (i) Document Management and Classification, (ii) Information Retrieval Models and Techniques, (iii) and Text Database of the SBBD Call for Papers.

Indigenous poultry (Gallus domesticus) is one oldest domesticated bird contributing 55% of total poultry production in Nepal. The indigenous breeds of poultry of Nepal are Sakini, Ghanti Khuile (Naked Neck), and Puwakh Ulte. Sakini is the most adapted indigenous breed of Poultry of Nepal, covering more than 50%. At present, various kinds of literature including journals, research reports, annual reports, proceedings, and master thesis regarding the egg production performance of indigenous breeds were reviewed mainly aiming the comparative evaluation of indigenous breeds of chicken of Nepal with respect to the egg production performance. Egg weight (EW), Egg production per year, Clutch per year, Hatchability, and Age at first laying were the parameters compared. The egg production per year of Sakini and Ghanti Khuile was higher than that of Puwakh Ulte. Also, the hatchability of Sakini was significantly higher than that of Naked Neck. This was due to high feathers in Sakini as compared to Naked Neck. Sakini matures earlier than others and start laying earlier. However, there was not much difference in the egg weight of the indigenous breeds. The clutch per year and of Sakini and Ghanti Khuile was also not significantly different. Sakini starts laying eggs earlier than Ghanti Khuile and Puwakh Ulte. There is a need for increased researches in the indigenous breeds besides Sakini and diseases are major constraints reducing the returns to farmers. Government and concerned agencies should step up and help the farmers to maximize the returns.

Automotive engines are getting more and more advanced. This causes the change in the development of injectors. The nozzle spray fuel quality has to meet certain requirements, such as sprayed droplet size, flare length, and sprayed fuel.  Using the method of analysis and synthesis of scientific literature sources, the main parameters of gasoline injectors were calculated in this work. The results of the research have been compared with calculated parameters obtained from the injectors test stand.The paper has been prepared on the basis of G. Brunius’ Master Thesis.
