Item Restricted Dynamic Feature Location Framework for Software Project(University of Bahrain, 2024-08) Buzaid, Faisal; Albalooshi, FawziThe Dynamic Feature Location Techniques (DFLTs) aim to automate the process of identifying the source code responsible for executing specific features within software systems. Manual implementation of DFLTs is time-consuming and demanding for developers, leading to the proposal of semi-automated approaches. One common approach involves generating execution traces by executing multiple scenarios for each software feature and then mapping the corresponding source code based on these traces. However, the execution traces are often large and contain irrelevant data to the software feature, requiring solutions to reduce their size and the eliminate irrelevant data. One such solution involves minimizing the number of scenarios needed to exercise a software feature, but little work has been done in this area. To address this gap, a generic framework called Aggregation of Execution Traces to Formulate a Scenario (AETFS) is introduced in this work. AETFS leverages runtime software output and employs textual analysis techniques to extract relevant data from the execution trace for scenario creation. It explores textual analysis, including topic modeling, as a means to select accurate scenarios for DFLTs. The performance of AETFS is characterized in terms of execution trace granularity, enabling the identification of meaningful terms that can filter the execution trace using textual analysis techniques such as Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). The evaluation encompasses eight subject systems with 600 features, making it more extensive than previous studies. The study identifies certain attributes of execution traces and text queries that impact AETFS’s performance. Two distinct groups emerge, one achieving superior Feature Location (FL) using AETFS and the other achieving better FL using a conventional baseline method. Combining AETFS with the baseline method significantly enhances performance, with the top results surpassing the baseline by 45% and the lowest by 12% over AETFS. In conclusion, this work highlights the importance of rigorously characterizing the proposed DFLTs framework to identify optimal scenarios for exercising software features. It emphasizes the need to differentiate between scenarios and their characterizations to generate necessary insights. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of AETFS while providing valuable insights for further advancements in the field of DFLTs.1 0Item Restricted تطوير مقياس الاتجاهات والقيم نحو الإبداع لدى الطلبة بالمملكة العربية السعودية(Arabian Gulf University, 2024-05) AlHussan, Tahani; Alabbasi, Ahmed Mohamed; Eldin, AlaaAbstract The study aimed to Developing a Scale of Attitudes and Values towards Creativity among Students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by identifying the statistical indicators of the study sample on the measure of attitudes and values towards creativity according to nationality and gender, and determining the significance of the differences in the responses of the study sample on the measure of attitudes and values towards creativity due to the variables of nationality and gender and the interaction between them. In addition, determining the cut-off score through which the highest performers are identified on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity. The researcher used the Statistical method. Renko's scale of attitudes and values towards creativity was applied. The research sample was selected from the research population using a simple random sampling method from gifted and normal students enrolled in the middle and secondary levels in public schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It consisted of (397) male and female students, with a percentage of (41.1%) males, and (58.9%) males. Females, and (48.4%) of the research sample were of Arab nationalities, and (51.6%) were of foreign nationalities. The results showed that the arithmetic mean for the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity for the sample as a whole was (76.25), and it was found that there were statistically significant differences in the responses of the research sample on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity according to the nationality variable. The differences were in favor of the Arab sample, and there were no differences according to gender. The results showed that the cut-off score, which represents the dividing line between the highest performance and the lowest performance on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity, was (87), and that the percentile ranks explaining the students’ performance amounted to (43) percentile ranks, ranging between rank (1) and rank (100). The percentile rank (1) corresponds to a score (≤32) on the attitudes and values towards creativity scale, and the percentile rank (100) corresponds to a score (105) on the attitudes and values towards creativity scale. The research presented several recommendations, including the use of a measure of attitudes and values towards creativity by the competent authorities in detecting and caring for gifted people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia6 0Item Restricted التَّفْكِيْرُ التَّبَاعُدِيُّ فِي المَجَالَاتِ الاجْتِمَاعِيَّةِ وَعَلَاقَتُهُ بالذَّكَاءِ العَاطِفِيِّ لَدَى الطَّلَبَةِ المَوْهُوْبِيْنَ وَالعَادِيِّيْنَ(Arabian Gulf University, 2024-01-25) Al-Juhani, Nada Ahmad; الجهني، ندى احمد; Al-Jarrah, Abdelnasser D.; Alabbasi, Ahmed Mohamedهدف البحث التعرف على دلالة الفروق في مستوى التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية، ومستوى الذكاء العاطفي لدى الطلبة في المملكة العربية السعودية وفقًا لمتغيرات تصنيف الطالب (موهوب، عادي)، والجنس، والتعرف على القدرة التنبؤية لأبعاد الذكاء العاطفي، وتصنيف الطالب بمستوى التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية لدى الطلبة، وتحديد طبيعة العلاقة بين التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية والذكاء العاطفي. استخدم البحث المنهج الوصفي الارتباطي والمنهج السببي المقارن، واستخدمت مقياس التفكير التباعدي، ومقياس الذكاء العاطفي. تكونت عينة البحث من (244) طالبًا وطالبة، منهم (125) موهوبين، و(119) عاديين. أظهرت النتائج وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية في مستوى التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية (الطلاقة، الأصالة) لدى الطلبة تعزى لمتغير تصنيف الطالب (موهوب، عادي)، وكانت الفروق لصالح الطلبة الموهوبين، ولمتغير جنس الطالب على بعد الطلاقة، وكانت الفروق لصالح الإناث، في حين لم تكن الفروق دالة على بعد الأصالة حسب متغير الجنس. وأظهرت النتائج أن أبعاد الذكاء العاطفي الستة، ومتغير تصنيف الطالب (موهوب، عادي) استطاعت التنبؤ بما نسبته (%35) من التباين في مستوى التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية (الطلاقة) لدى الطلبة، حيث استطاع متغير تصنيف الطالب لوحده التنبؤ بما نسبته (%25) من التباين. كما أن متغير تصنيف الطالب استطاع التنبؤ بما نسبته (%9.7) من التباين في مستوى التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية (الأصالة) لدى الطلبة. كما أظهرت النتائج وجود علاقة ارتباطية موجبة وذات دلالة إحصائية بين التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية والذكاء العاطفي، بمعامل ارتباط (0.316). استنادًا إلى النتائج قدم البحث عدة توصيات من ضمنها الاهتمام بتقديم البرامج التدريبية في الذكاء العاطفي، وفي التفكير التباعدي في المجالات الاجتماعية للطبة الموهوبين والعاديين في المرحلة الثانوية.143 0Item Restricted Determinants of Giftedness within the Family as Indicators of Creative Thinking and Creative Personality among Gifted Students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia(Arabian Gulf University, 2024-02-25) ALjohani, Hind; Ayoub, Alaa Eldin; Alabbasi, AhmedThe aim of the research is to identify the significance of the differences in the creative product, the creative process, trends and values towards creativity and the creative personality among gifted students due to family factors and extracurricular activities, and to determine the predictive ability of family factors and extracurricular activities in the creative product, the creative process, trends and values towards creativity and the creative personality.

The research used the descriptive analytical method, and the research sample consisted of (395) male and female students from public schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the second semester of the academic year 2021-2022 AD, in addition to (365) teachers who were selected by a simple random sampling method from public schools in KSA. The research used the measure opportunities for imagination, creativity, and innovation (Renzulli et al., 2021). The results of the factor analysis by the method of the Principal Components showed that there are three factors for the measure of opportunities for imagination, creativity and innovation that are saturated on each factor five items. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that all indicators of good conformity with the model related to the scale of opportunities for imagination, creativity and innovation came with acceptable values, which indicates the quality of the assumed model, and the strength of the correlation between each factor of the scale (imagination, creativity, innovation) and its constituent items. Based on the results, the research recommended the adoption of a measure of opportunities for imagination, creativity and innovation by Saudi researchers to conduct experimental and descriptive studies by applying it to different samples in the Saudi environment, and to include units in graduate curricula in Saudi and Gulf universities that focus on training graduate students on sound scientific foundations to legalize metrics.30 0Item Restricted The paradox of the very short story in Saudi Arabia: A study of models(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-04-24) Alharthi, Manal Mohammed; Wais, Ahmad MohamadThe very short story succeeded in creating its own space, especially in recent decades, and was able to carve out a unique path for literary reality. That is because of its ability to reach the recipient and influence his conscience and because of what is characterized by excitement, astonishment, irony, symbolism, the ability to provoke sarcasm, the aesthetic of pleasure, and the elegance of the phrase. The very short story is also characterized by the ability to deal with social and human issues that arose from the reality of contemporary life, which is a reality dominated by contradiction and contradiction. Therefore, the paradox was one of the most prominent features of the very short story stylistics. Hence, this study's subject is "The paradox of the very short story in Saudi Arabia" The importance of the study is due to the development and maturity of the art of the very short story in Saudi Arabia in recent decades. This art needs a critical study to show what the narration has reached in the very short story in Saudi Arabia regarding textual coherence, diverse styles, and depth of content. Among the essential aspects of the subject of the study is the prominent role that irony plays in the art of the very short story. It was present in its texts on multiple levels. In this context, this study sought to reveal the presence of paradox in constructing a very short story in Saudi Arabia, especially its narrative structure. Hence, it aimed to achieve several goals, namely: 1. Explaining the role of paradox in constructing time in the Saudi very short story. 2. Revealing the existence of paradox in building characters in the Saudi very short story. 3. Determining the areas of paradox and its sources in the Saudi very short story. 4. Explaining the transmission mechanisms of paradox in the Saudi very short story. The study plan was consistent with the objectives mentioned above. In the preamble, the concept of paradox and the connotations indicated by the term paradox in modern criticism and the Arabic rhetorical heritage were mentioned, and the essential elements of the idea of paradox were mentioned. In the first chapter, the paradox in the construction of time was studied through three sections: a theoretical study of time in narration, retrieval, and anticipation. In the second chapter, the paradox of building characters was explored in three topics: the dimensions of characters and their presence in the narrative, the self-paradox and the other, and the self-paradox and society. In the third chapter, the fields of paradox were studied, which are the religious field, the cultural field, and the social field. The fourth chapter included the transmission mechanisms of paradox in three sections: sarcasm and mockery, satire, and the caricature satirical image. Accordingly, the study came out with a set of results that are related to the Saudi very short story, the most important of which are: - The concept of paradox is still far from being defined despite the attempts that tried to set limits for it. Still, it often denotes a contradiction between two or more parties in a textual context depending on the linguistic elusiveness, the style's gracefulness, and the reader's understanding. - Temporal paradoxes exist in the Saudi very short story texts through the retrieval mechanism, which was effective in building events and expressing the point of view of the narration; This resulted in the past tense dominating the discourse of the very short Saudi story. - Retrieval was a means for the narrator to depict memories, analyze memories, analyze the characters' thoughts from the inside, and justify their actions. Retrieval also played a social role in interpreting some social customs. - The anticipation technique was present in the Saudi very short story texts, but not as much as the retrieval technique. - Anticipation performed some functions in the structure of the Saudi very short story, including preparing for some events, announcing the image of the character, explaining some of its behaviors, and directing the reader's attention to follow the development of events. - The self-paradox and the other in the Saudi very short stories expressed the dissonance and hostility between the self and the other and the conflict within the characters. - The very short Saudi stories drew many paradoxes from the social field related to people, their lives, behavior, and problems. - Sarcasm exists in the Saudi very short stories through sarcastic questioning and exposure. - The satire focused Saudi very short stories on the negative aspects of society and people's negative morals, especially the domination exercised by some men against women; this appeared in the stories of Saudi women writers. - The caricature exists in Saudi very short stories, but its presence is weak compared to the sarcastic question, exposure, sarcasm, and mockery.9 0
