Phraseological Units in "Nathan und seine Kinder" by Mirjam Pressler
Full text linkDiplomsko delo obravnava nemške frazeme, ki sem jih našla v mladinskem romanu Nathan und seine Kinder pisateljice Mirjam Pressler. Glavni cilj moje diplomske naloge je najti razlike in podobnosti v razmerju nemškega in slovenskega jezika.
Delo je razdeljeno na dva dela. V teoretičnem delu so podrobneje predstavljene osnove frazeologije, lastnosti frazemov in njihova uporaba v mladinski literaturi. Prav tako je nekaj besed namenjenih pisateljici Mirjam Pressler in njenemu delu. Empirični del obravnava frazeme najdene v romanu, jih primerja s slovenskimi ustreznicami ter na podlagi primerjave določi stopnjo ekvivalence.The following thesis will deal with idioms, found in the young adult novel Nathan und seine Kinder by author Mirjam Pressler. The main goal of the thesis is to establish the differences and similarities present when comparing idioms found in the German language, with those found in Slovenian.
The thesis is divided into two parts. The first is theoretical and features a presentation of the basics of phraseology, the characteristics of idioms and their use in young adult literature. A chapter is devoted to the authorMirjam Pressler and her work. The empirical part of the thesis deals with idioms found in the literary work itself, compares them with corresponding words in Slovenian and determines their level of equivalence based on said comparison
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
Full text linkAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Clinical and Socioeconomic Aspects of Kidney Transplantation
Full text linkFor patients that require renal replacement therapy, kidney transplantation is the best option in terms of outcomes and quality of life. However, not all patients have equal access to transplantation, as for various reasons some are not even referred for transplantation. Though not always obvious, a spectrum of reasons may be responsible for non-referral, e.g. insufficient condition to undergo surgery or inadequate mastering of the language to understand and communicate the transplantation process. Other patients are highly sensitized which complicates finding a match. Once transplanted, graft survival may be hampered by various factors causing a fall back on less favorable options for renal replacement therapy.
The aims of this thesis were to investigate what factors influence access to living or deceased donor kidney transplantation and what factors influence graft and patient survival once transplantation is carried out. The retrospective cohort studies described in this thesis showed that older patients and patients with unfavorable socioeconomic factors have a decreased chance to receive a living donor kidney transplant. Moreover, age has a negative influence on the chance to receive a deceased donor kidney transplant. Only half of the patients above 55 years that are dependent on the waiting list for deceased donor kidney transplantation will be transplanted.
Graft and patient survival were studied using multivariable analyses. While various clinical factors were found to influence graft and patient survival, socioeconomic factors did not influence survival. The combined influence of donor age and donor type showed that the results of living donor kidney transplantation are better than the results of living donor kidney transplantation, independent of donor age. This applied to the number of HLA mismatches between recipient and donor as well. To study the influence of comorbidities on survival a new comorbidity score was developed, the Rotterdam Comorbidity in Kidney Transplantation (RoCKeT) score. Though a higher comorbidity score did influence patient survival, patient survival after transplantation was still remarkably good.
The main conclusion is that survival after living donor kidney transplantation is superior to deceased donor kidney transplantation. Living donor kidney transplantation should be accessible for all patients, also for elderly patients with extensive comorbidity and for patients with unfavorable socioeconomic factors. They should be referred for transplantation as early as possible to prevent dialysis, even when they present without a potential living donor. As home based education was added to our standard care for these patients, their chance to become transplanted increases

Competition through Technical Progress
Full text linkThe relationship between technical progress and price competition is a controversial issue in economics. This paper highlights the fact that investment in technical progress is an authentic type of competition which benefits the consumers rather than the industry. This type of competition exists when the potential for technical progress, which can be incorporated by firms through investment, is high enough. Competition is, in fact, made up of two components: A static one which is known as price or quantity competition and a dynamic one, the Technical Progress competition which also contribute to reduce prices and increase quantities for consumers. Consequently, the economic factors that increase a firm's margin do not have to be viewed as the consumers' enemy, but rather as an ally, under specific conditions, because they allow higher investments in new technology by which firms increase their capacities and attract higher demand from consumers. This paper also underlines that, for a mature market, the maximum Consumer Surplus as well as Social Welfare are attained by a constant level of combined competition which is only dependent on the size of the market and the number of firms. The level of combined competition can be defined as the product of the static and the dynamic level of competition. As a consequence, the higher the potential of technical progress is, the lower the level of static competition must be in order to reach the maximum level of Consumer Surplus and Social Welfare. --Investment,Competition,Technical Progress,Dynamic Competition
