This research aims to examine students’ attitudes toward using ChatGPT as a learning tool using a quantitative approach with a descriptive study design. For data collection, researchers have developed attitude measures that utilize the ABC model, which encompasses three components of attitudes (affective, cognitive, and behavioral). The study was conducted among a random sample of 623 undergraduates who enrolled at the University of Jordan, consisting of 476 females and 147 males. The results of the descriptive statistics indicate that there is a high level of positive attitude toward utilizing ChatGPT as a learning tool. Furthermore, the findings confirm moderate affective and high behavioral and cognitive components of attitudes toward using ChatGPT as a learning tool among undergraduate students. A proportion of respondents (73.2%) agreed on the potential ability of ChatGPT to facilitate the learning process. In comparison, 20.7% of the study participants raised apprehensions regarding the precision of the data produced by ChatGPT, while an equivalent percentage (20.7%) reported feeling uncomfortable utilizing the platform; conversely, 14.6% of those surveyed acknowledged experiencing anxiety when unable to access ChatGPT’s services. The results of this study encourage decision-makers and educators at the University of Jordan to incorporate ChatGPT into curricula and instructional practices, considering student concerns and the risk of misuse.

This paper presents the development and implementation of an innovative Internet of Things (IoT)-based RFID attendance system integrated with a module focused on curbing the spread of contagious diseases in densely populated settings, such as schools and workplaces. Recognizing the limitations of existing radio frequency identification (RFID) attendance systems, an extensive analysis of prior works was conducted to identify crucial functionalities necessary for an effective solution. Leveraging the IoT paradigm, we devised a 3-layer architecture encompassing thermometer sensors, RFID technology, Arduino microcontrollers, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol to facilitate seamless data transmission and storage. The resulting prototype enables real-time monitoring of feverish symptoms, serving as an early warning system for potential contagious illnesses while streamlining attendance management. Data collected from the IoT devices is securely stored in a centralized database and accessed through an intuitive information system embedded within the IoT application. Users can effortlessly view and manage attendance data, while administrators gain access to health-related metrics, enabling timely responses to health concerns. User evaluations of the developed system resulted in an outstanding “A” rating, validating its reliability, functionality, and user satisfaction. Future improvements involve real-world testing, scalability assurance, integration with health authorities for comprehensive data management, and automated alerts for potential disease outbreaks.

Data from information technology has been crucial in advancing the agricultural and livestock industries, especially for Thai dairy farms located in tropical regions where sudden weather changes can occur. This study uses the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the innovation diffusion theory (IDT) to predict the Thai dairy farmers’ intention to use a high-precision area-level weather warning technology through a mobile phone application. A questionnaire was collected from dairy farm owners in Thailand’s central and northeastern regions, and the data was analyzed using stepwise multiple linear regression. The main factor influencing the acceptance of this technology was its compatibility with existing technology, and it needed to be available on mobile phones for instant access. The role of technology had to provide dairy farmers with information for decision-making, especially during extreme weather conditions, to mitigate potential damage. Training sessions and workshops on the implementation of this technology were necessary, and young farmers could share content on social media to promote its benefits. Service providers should set up call centers to help dairy farmers make decisions. This study identifies factors that can increase farmers’ intentions to use digital technology. By addressing these factors, the adoption of technology can improve the efficiency and productivity of dairy farming in Thailand.

Environmental sensitivity, which refers to the capacity to recognize and react to environmental stimuli, has been linked to increased levels of metacognition, which is the capacity to learn about one’s own learning processes. Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a characteristic that can make people more sensitive to the stimuli and settings in their surroundings. Regarding the development of mobile game-based educational procedures, the study of the neurocognitive bases of the mechanisms underlying them, such as metacognition and environmental factors, could play a crucial role in the implementation of these educational practices. The purpose of the current narrative review is to identify the key mechanisms by which mobile games affect young learners’ metacognitive and environmental sensitivity profiles and to suggest future research directions on the specific selection of gamification-based educational interventions.

Mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) have been a hot topic of research, and numerous routing methods have been developed to increase energy efficiency and extend longevity. Nodes close to the sink often use more energy to transmit data from their neighbors to the sink, which causes them to run out of energy faster. These places are also referred to as rendezvous points, and choosing the best one is a hard task. The likelihood of choosing an ideal node as the rendezvous point will be extremely low because hierarchical algorithms only use their local information to select these places. The warm spot problem is addressed from four angles in this work using the Enhanced Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (EPEGASIS) technique. In order to limit the amount of energy used during transmission, the ideal communication distance is first calculated. To balance the energy consumption among the nodes, mobile sink technology is employed once a threshold value is set to safeguard the dying nodes. The node can then modify its communication range based on how far away the sink node is from it. Thorough testing has been done to demonstrate that our suggested EPEGASIS works better in terms of longevity, drive usage, and web latency.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), deployed in the area of interest to gather data unattended, comprise numerous tiny, ponderous, and battery-operated sensor nodes (SNs). Numerous research publications presented strategies for extending the lifespan and performance of wireless sensor networks because SNs lifetime depends on limited battery life. One strategy for enhancing the performance of wireless sensor networks is to deploy an energy-rich sink capable of mobility to gather data sensed by stationary SNs. Therefore, several mobility models (MMs) were suggested. The primary objective of this investigation is to compare the effectiveness of wireless sensor networks using two MMs for mobile sinks (MSs): Kohonen’s self-organizing map-based model and the genetic algorithm-based model, in order to find the most suitable conditions under which each one of them can be used. As a result, network performance is investigated using the NS-2 simulator under various scenarios and MS speeds. Additionally, throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and end-to-end (E2E) delay are the metrics used to analyze performance. Finally, messages are forwarded from their sources to the MS using the AODV routing protocol. The results show that the Kohonen-based model is suitable for small networks with moderate speeds of the mobile sink. On the other hand, the genetic algorithm-based model is suitable to be used with medium-sized networks with low speeds of the mobile sink.
