Literary notes about applications (AI summary)

The term “applications” is used in literature with remarkable versatility, serving both concrete and abstract purposes. In some works it denotes practical uses, such as the therapeutic applications of coffee ([1], [2], [3]) and the utilization of mathematical principles in mechanical or numerical contexts ([4], [5], [6], [7]). Conversely, the word also appears in discussions of more abstract or administrative functions; it highlights the implementation of social or psychological theories ([8], [9]) and even stands for formal requests like admission or employment applications ([10], [11], [12]). Additionally, modern literature associates “applications” with technology, as in contexts involving software and digital functionalities ([13], [14]). This breadth of usage illustrates the term’s adaptability, bridging fields from medicine and engineering to sociology and information technology.
