Class cohesion is a key object-oriented software quality attribute that is used to evaluate the degree of relatedness of class attributes and methods. Researchers have proposed several class cohesion measures. However, the effect of considering the special methods (i.e., constructors, destructors, and access and delegation methods) in cohesion calculation is not thoroughly theoretically studied...

this study aims to understand certain linguistic and semantic resources for the text construction, namely the constructs of cohesion, coherence. the analysis of cohesive ties was conducted on the writing samples of 40 subjects (20 most coherent and 20 least coherent) iranian undergraduates of english. this prompted us to identify the dominant types of cohesive devices used in most coherent writ...

It is a widely accepted fact that coherence enables a text’s comprehensibility. A major source of coherence is discourse cohesion (textual properties of the text). Lexical cohesion (e.g. synonymy) and discourse connectives are two major types of discourse cohesion. We investigate the contribution of these two types of cohesion to the overall comprehension of bi-clausal sentences in Turkish. In ...

Current theoretical arguments highlight the negative implications of cohesion in a network neighborhood for relationships with outsiders. We present argument and evidence illustrating the importance of knowledge overlap inside a neighborhood in moderating the negative internal cohesion effect. We analyzed the tendency for individuals to initiate and sustain knowledge transfer relationships in a...

Software Metrics have been proposed for procedural and object oriented paradigms to measure various attributes like complexity, cohesion, software quality, and productivity. Among all of these, “Complexity” and “Cohesion” are considered to be the most important attributes. As object oriented analysis and design appears to be at the forefront of software engineering technologies, many different ...

Cohesion measures in Object-oriented software reflect particular interpretations, High cohesion positively impacts understanding, reuse and maintenance. This paper proposes a new measure based on analysis of the unstructured information embedded in the source code, such as comments and identifiers, we have the existing applications based on using the only the structural information from the sou...

The Interactive Strategy Trainer for Active Reading and Thinking (iSTART) is an intelligent tutoring system that provides students with automated training on reading strategies. In particular, iSTART trains students to selfexplain target sentences so as to integrate encoded information into a coherent mental representation. The goal of this study was to investigate the relation between text str...

the purpose of this study was to explore the role that perceived childhood attachment, family functioning and attribution styles have in social anxiety of high school students. 430 iranian students were selected by multistage cluster sampling from high schools of isfahan city. participants completed measures of childhood attachment to each parent (hazen and shaver, 1986), the family adaptabilit...

Recognizing coherent structure of a text is an essential task in natural language understanding. It is necessary, for example, to resolve anaphora, ellipsis, and ambiguity. One of the dominant factors of coherence of the text structure is lexical cohesion, namely the dependency relationship between words based on associative relations in common knowledge. This thesis proposes an objective and c...
