Serbian Abstract: У раду се разматрају проблеми одређивања оптималног распореда слова на тастатури, који мора бити заснован на карактеристикама и специфичностима сваког конкретног језика.

Апстракт: Постоји низ публикација под насловом „атлас Србије“ али мали број од њих су стварни атласи, тј. картографска дела у традиционалном смислу речи. У прошлом веку, за територију Србије, посебно или у југословенској држави, публикован је мали број географских, геолошких, историјских, лингвистичких и осталих атласа, а не постоји ни један већи,...

Апстракт: Топоними су властита географска имена која имају дуже историјско-географско трајање. Локално становништво их генерацијски наслеђује, памти и предаје на знање потомству, али и становништву свог просторног окружења. Топоними који означавају конкретне географске објекте, у науци се бележе и исцртавају на картама са извесним просторним границ...
