Our research focuses on regional economic growth and development, concentrating on Douglas County, one of the foundational pieces of the Kansas, United States economy. This paper will analyze trends in the County and outline an economic plan for where they should strive to create changes. The method used will compare Douglas County to Kansas and then the United States by industry using a measure called Location Quotient, which measures the strengths and weaknesses of an industry using a ratio matrix. Porter cluster analysis was employed to visualize and analyze how fostering an environment of competition, economic growth, and development will increase productivity, drive business synergy to the industries that need it the most, and stimulate new businesses with economic potential via the results from our Location Quotient analysis within the Douglas County region. Our concluding recommendations will be based on past literature that has commonalities with our finding, providing policymakers, academics, and stakeholders with a spectrum of information while highlighting the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats framework. Our finding aims to provide big-picture systemic changes that can be implemented within the County rather than individual or micro changes impacting less of the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper's bibliometric investigation aims to provide the formula for effective sports training. Finding patterns and trends in the literature is important to help coaches and athletes enhance their training plans. The Scopus database and 4276 articles were used for the analysis. According to the findings, the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research has the highest H-Index of 50. With 199 documents, the University of Copenhagen in Denmark is the leading affiliate. With a total of 595 times, the term "exercise" is used by the authors the most. Additionally, "dyspnea" has the biggest relative growth, while "exercise training" is a trending issue with the largest absolute increase. The terms "power," "speed," and "strength" all have definitions that are very relevant to coaching athletes. The findings demonstrate that effective sports training necessitates a multidisciplinary strategy that considers each athlete's particular requirements and skills. This study sheds important new light on the literature on exercise training and emphasises the significance of evidence-based training in sports. The findings can be utilised to help create training plans that maximise performance, stop injuries and enhance athlete wellbeing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The value of multicultural education is acknowledged on a global scale, despite the fact that various barriers prevent its complete implementation. These include cultural, linguistic, religious, economic, difference in physical condition, and ethnic backgrounds. By assessing publishing trends, extracting data on author keyword trends, examining conceptual evolution, and establishing possible future research on this topic using the Scopus database. This study found that publications grew in quantity from 2013 to 2022, decreased in 2015 and 2018 but were not significant, and 2021 was the highest peak with 221 documents. With 111 publications, the United States is the most prolific and co-authored with authors from Canada, China, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and South Korea. Based on thematic evolution, 'subspace-clustering', 'conversational-system', 'aortic-aneurysm', 'Bayesian-network-classifier', are themes or topics that have recently developed. By utilizing these important terms, the study of multicultural education can be examined more thoroughly and more extensive in the future in order to learn new knowledge. In conclusion, this research has the potential to contextualize previous research on the topic and create an evidence-based practice paradigm for future studies grounded in science.

A bibliometric analysis was performed to examine global publication trends and patterns connected to the use of information technology in sports education. All articles from the Scopus database from 1996-2023, totaling 396 articles related to this theme, were taken and then analysed using the help of mapping engineering analysis software, namely VOSviewer. The research findings show that there have been fluctuations in the number of publications, but 2011 marked the beginning of the trend for publications to increase by double digits. Of the 186 documents, the document types "conference paper" and "article" were the largest among the other types, with 173, respectively. The well-known journal "Journal of Physics Conference Series," is the scientific source that has published the most articles with 32 documents. Other findings revealed that the "Computer Science" area, with 193 documents, was the one most studied by scholars to carry out their research. China is the country with the highest number of publications, namely 266 documents, and one of its universities, namely Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, is the top affiliate with ten published documents. The use of the keywords "information technology" (82 occurrences), and "physical education" with (81 occurrences), is the most popular compared to other phrases for this topic. Our research provides more comprehensive information about the rapid progress of technological literacy in facilitating the development of sports education as a basic ingredient in building a country's sporting success.
