ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) All mobile phones use internal flash memory to store information. The flash memory contains personal user data that can be extracted with the use of forensics tools. This information could be used to profile a user’s daily activity. However, all smartphones provide a tool to erase (factory reset) the information from the flash memory. Twenty-one smartphones were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the factory-reset feature. A set of forensics tools from Cellebrite was used for the extraction and analysis process. The factory-reset feature was found to leave significant amounts of user-generated content after operation. The amount of user-generated content varied by vendor and model number. Extracted data are presented as evidence to show the ineffectiveness of the reset. User data such as photographs, audio files, text files, login information and geolocation data were left on the phone. The data analysis uncovered the unreliable nature of a factory reset and how the user is not properly protected. 14.

    TARTU UNIVERSITY NARVA COLLEGE DIVISION of FOREIGN LANGUAGES Vladimir Lilenko WORD-FORMATION AND SEMANTIC MECHANISMS IN ENGLISH INTERNET SLANG AND MEMES CREATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE Bachelor’s thesis Supervisor: Lect. O.Orehhova NARVA 2013 PREFACE English Internet slang and memes have become not only a part of the English language, but they have been imposing a great influence on Russian and the verbal culture of young generation as well. Memes have almost replaced usual Internet chatting and emotional expression of most Russian speaking young people. English slang has grown so deeply inside Russian that it is accepted as that of the Russian origin. The present research paper attempts to show how the English Internet slang and memes are formed and what a great impact they have on the Russian language. The thesis conducts an analysis of the English Internet slang, compares English Internet slang with that of the Russian language as well as analyses the impact of English memes and Internet slang on the Russian language. The paper consists of the Introduction, three core chapters and the Conclusion. The introductory part provides an overview of the English Internet slang and memes creation history. Chapter I includes an overview of word-formation processes and semantic mechanisms in English. Chapter II includes the analysis of 30 most popular English Internet slang words and 10 Internet memes. The aim of the analysis is to find out what word-formation processes and semantic mechanisms are mostly used in modern English Internet slang and memes. The aim of Chapter III is to study out the impact of English Internet slang and memes on the Russian language.

Birçok mobil geliştirme ortamı içinden MIT App Inventor seçim yapmak istenilirse farklı mobil geliştirme ortamlarında geliştirilen mobil uygulamaların Performans Ölçütleri performans yönünden karşılaştırılması yol gösterici olacaktır. Bu çalışmada, Android sistem Eğitsel Mobil için metin tabanlı tümleşik mobil uygulama geliştirme ortamı olan Android Studio ve görsel blok tabanlı mobil uygulama geliştirme ortamı olan MIT App Inventor kullanılarak orta ölçekli Uygulama eğitsel bir mobil uygulama geliştirilmiş ve geliştirilen mobil uygulama, performans yönünden Makale Hakkında karşılaştırılmıştır. Performans karşılaştırılmasında, CPU ve RAM ölçütleri kullanılmış ve gerçek cihazlar üzerinde ölçümler gerçekleştirilmiştir. CPU ölçümleri, Android Studio ve MIT Gönderim Tarihi App Inventor ile geliştirilen mobil uygulamada farklılık göstermezken; RAM ölçümleri, 21 Haziran 2020 Android Studio ve MIT App Inventor ile geliştirilen uygulamada farklılık göstermiştir.

    There are upwards of 27 million blogs in the world. To discover how they relate to one another, we’ve taken the most-linked-to 50 and mapped their connections. Each arrow represents a hypertext link that was made sometime in the past 90 days. Think of those links as votes in an endless global popularity poll.
