In this research study, we performed a "content analysis" of selected introductory programming textbooks for three languages to examine which software development concepts are emphasized in these books. Our goal was to determine which concepts are considered to be most representative of software development based on the topics emphasized…

Teacher resilience has become a prominent and multidimensional subject of interest in recent educational research. Its growing recognition has fuelled a wealth of investigations, necessitating a quantitative science mapping approach for comprehensive understanding of this evolving domain. This paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of empirical…

This paper explores the application of quantitative methods to study the effect of various factors on phonetic word duration in ten languages. Data on most of these languages were collected in fieldwork aiming at documenting spontaneous speech in mostly endangered languages, to be used for multiple purposes, including the preservation of cultural…

In recent years, a rapid development in computer technologies has been witnessed and feasibility of data access has been increased. In today's world, restoring documents, or data in general, and transferring them to interested parties are ordinary tasks. The amount of restored documents has also increased expeditiously and this development has…
