Objective:
To investigate how much the IMRaD structure of diploma theses defended in graduate Study of Dental Medicine at University of Split School of Medicine is compatible with that of the ...original research articles, considering the proportions of IMRaD sections – Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion.
Materials and methods:
150 diploma theses defended between 2016 and 2021 were collected from the Digital Academic Archives and Repositories (DABAR) and compared with 150 original research articles published in five dental scientific journals during the same period. The length of each IMRaD section in diploma theses and original research articles was measured using the Word Count in MS Office Word and expressed as the number of words. The overall length of IMRaD structure was calculated by adding the length of each IMRaD section. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression.
Results:
On average, the overall length of IMRaD structure of diploma theses was longer than that of the original research articles. On average, the longest section in diploma theses was the Introduction (occupied almost 50% the overall length of IMRaD structure). In the average original research article, the Introduction section occupied about 15% of the overall length of IMRaD structure, while the Discussion was the longest section. The highest correlation with the overall length of IMRaD structure in diploma theses was found for Introduction (R=0.82; R2=0.67; P<0.001). In original research articles, the Discussion section was most highly correlated with the overall length of IMRaD structure (R=0.62; R2=0.38; P<0.001).
Conclusion:
The IMRaD structure of diploma theses defended in graduate Study of Dental Medicine in Split differs from the structure of original research articles published in dental scientific journals. Diploma theses have a comparatively longer introduction and shorter discussion section than original research articles.
Covid-19 pandemic hit a giant blow on in-person education. This was especially difficult when teaching laboratory related exercises. In this paper we show that we can treat this hardship as an ...opportunity, and engage students into creating tools that help their colleagues. In this particular case we present diploma projects that constituted equipment rental apps. We show that such form of diploma increases motivation and leads to nice results.
Report on the Open Space Sessions Sigel, Alexander

This report summarizes the eleven contributions by eight presenters from the two open space sessions that took place during the TMRA’05 workshop on 6th and 7th of October 2005. The contributions were ...informal and non-refereed, since workshop attendants had been given the opportunity to sign up to short talks on a flipchart, and the suggested format for each presentation was: only one slide, five minutes presentation, and five minutes discussion. The 90 minutes, smoothly chaired by Lars Marius Garshol, were filled with an inspiring exchange of ideas and arguments, since in this “playground for visionaries” new proposals were made and current work in progress was reported and lively discussed. For the purpose of this report, the presentations have been regrouped into the five sections: 1. Resources for the topic maps research community, 2. Authoring topic maps, 3. Querying topic maps, 4. A PSI infrastructure for topic maps, and finally, 5. Topic maps applications.
The paper describes software usage for diploma thesis presented by VSB-TUO students during students conference GISáček. A prepared statistics was build from papers available at web pages of the ...conference. The prepared statistics is not complete clear view on this area, but I do not have any other simple way how to prepare such statistics.
The statistics was build just from the text of the papers. If a student mentioned any software than it is included in the statistics. Summarized results are presented at the following figures with some general comments, that can be useful.
The statistics is prepared only for years 2000 – 2006. A last year of the conference was not included, because of problems with availability of the proceedings.Software is categorized to three categories. A category fee contains only software that must be payed. This category includes software that can be obtained by students free of charge, but for firm usage must be payed. A category without fee includes software that can be used free of charge even for firm purposes, but is not available as an open source software. The last category open source includes open source software and in a case of this statistics, all open source software mentioned by students is free of charge as well.

In this paper we present lessons learned from building a Semantic Desktop system, the gnowsis beta. On desktop computers, semantic software has to provide stable services and has to reflect the ...personal view of the user. Our approach to ontologies, the Personal Information Model PIMO allows to create tagging services like del.icio.us on the desktop. A semantic wiki allows further annotations. Continuous evaluations of the system helped to improve it. These results were created in the EPOS research project and are available in the open source projects Aperture, kaukoluwiki, and gnowsis and will be continued in the Nepomuk project. By using these components, other developers can create new desktop applications the web 2.0 way.
In this paper, we present a parallel multigrid PDE solver working on adaptive hierarchical cartesian grids. The presentation is restricted to the linear elliptic operator of second order, but ...extensions are possible and have already been realised as prototypes. Within the solver the handling of the vertices and the degrees of freedom associated to them is implemented solely using stacks and iterates of a Peano space–filling curve. Thus, due to the structuredness of the grid, two administrative bits per vertex are sufficient to store both geometry and grid refinement information. The implementation and parallel extension, using a space–filling curve to obtain a load balanced domain decomposition, will be formalised. In view of the fact that we are using a multigrid solver of linear complexity \documentclass12pt{minimal}

This paper proposes a basic ontology for use in topic maps storing semantic information on bookmark collections. Furthermore, we introduce a data model allowing to implement such a system on a LAMP ...(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) platform, extended with the Cake-PHP framework. A prototype has been developed as proof of concept, where the use of AJAX and drag and drop capabilities in the browser resulted in a good user experience during a preliminary user evaluation.
Modeling and simulation are very common ways of studying living system properties. They help to understand physiological processes and changes in the processes caused by an intervention can be easily ...studied. Modeling and simulation play an important role in teaching because they allow illustrate in a transparent way all significant phenomena. The paper describes a developed catalogue of biomedical models that is used in the course “Simulation and modeling” - in master study program Biomedical engineering. The catalogue is presented as an interactive system of models in the Matlab-Simulink environment and has been gradually extended with the help of several master students. The system is designed as open with the possibility of further expanding. The idea of the system, its configuration, system control and overview of presented models are described.
