INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TOOLS INTO TEACHING MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS IN TERTIARY EDUCATION
Authors: Choustoulakis Emmanouil 
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, specifically conversational agents like ChatGPT, in teaching mathematical economics in tertiary education. Recognizing the inherent challenges in mathematical economics—ranging from complex theoretical constructs to advanced quantitative methods—this study explores AI's potential to enhance student comprehension, engagement, and problem-solving skills. Drawing from existing literature on AI applications in education and learning sciences, this conceptual paper evaluates AI's role in delivering real-time support, facilitating interactive problem-solving, and offering personalized feedback, thereby addressing diverse student needs. Key areas of focus include AI-driven question-and-answer capabilities, scenario-based learning simulations, and guided problem-solving models that can reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application. The paper further identifies potential challenges, including student overreliance on AI tools, possible misunderstandings in AI-generated solutions, and ethical concerns related to data privacy and academic integrity. By proposing a blended learning model, this paper suggests best practices for using AI as a supportive, non-replacement instructional tool. These best practices encompass educator training, responsible AI implementation, and fostering a balanced, interactive classroom environment. The findings contribute to a growing discourse on the responsible and effective use of AI in higher education, with implications for policy and practice in curriculum design, educational technology, and teaching strategies. Future research directions include empirical studies on AI’s impact on learning outcomes in mathematical economics, exploring how these tools can further enhance both student engagement and academic performance.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0899/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Motivation is an essential element for the development of the human being, involving emotional, biological and social phenomena and makes people give the best of themselves. It is largely responsible for initiating, directing, and maintaining behaviors related to the execution of objectives. Motivation is seen as an active intentional process, where the individual pursues a goal, and this depends on personal and environmental factors, making individuals practice action with pleasure, be part of a group, be socially accepted, concern for health, have fun and even keep fit. The objective of the study is to analyze the main reasons that lead students with disabilities to join a sport. A total of 35 persons with disabilities (15 women and 20 men) from the Paralympic Reference Center of Roraima participated in the study. Motivation was assessed using the Motivation Inventory for Regular Physical Activity – IMPRAF 54 (Balbinotti &amp; Barbosa, 2006). This tool aims to know the motivations that lead the person to perform (or keep performing) sports activities. The results revealed that the main reasons are: 1) Sociability (65.71%); 2) Health (45.71%); and 3) Stress control (42.85%). The results demonstrate the main reasons that lead people with disabilities to seek out sports practice and may be important for improving and expanding the offerings of sports programs and projects for this population.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0909/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Tunadağı Büşra , Akcan Fırat 
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of 8-week basic gymnastics training on the physical fitness of children aged 6-8 in terms of various biomotor characteristics. A total of 20 children (10 girls, 10 boys) voluntarily participated in the study. The children were randomly assigned to either the experimental (n=10) or control (n=10) groups. The experimental group received basic gymnastics training three days a week, while no training was provided to the control group. Before and after the study, the children’s balance, flexibility, strength, endurance, and speed were assessed using the Eurofit test battery. The tests applied included the flamingo balance test, sit-and-reach flexibility test, handgrip strength test, 30-second sit-up test, vertical jump test, standing long jump test, medicine ball throw, and 20-meter sprint. The findings of the study revealed that children in the experimental group showed significant improvements in all biomotor tests (p&lt;0.05). In the control group, significant improvements were observed only in the flamingo balance test, sit-and-reach flexibility test, and 30-second sit-up test (p&lt;0.05). Comparisons between the groups indicated significant differences in favor of the experimental group in all parameters except the standing long jump. In conclusion, it was found that basic gymnastics training positively affects the physical fitness of children aged 6-8 and leads to significant improvements in their biomotor skills.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0985/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS KNOWLEDGE, STATUS AWARENESS, AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN IBADAN, NIGERIA
Authors: Akinwaare Margaret Omowaleola , Olaniran Mariam Adeola 
Published: December 2024

<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Worldwide, young people account for the highest proportion of new Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections, yet the uptake of testing and status awareness among this cohort is suboptimal. The lifestyles of students on university campuses put them at risk of contracting HIV, and the spread of HIV among the reproductive age is a major health concern in Nigeria. <strong>Aim of the study</strong><strong>: </strong>The study aims to assess knowledge of HIV/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), HIV status awareness, and associated factors among undergraduates of selected tertiary institutions in Ibadan. <strong>Methodology:</strong> The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional research design in which three hundred and fifty-six (356) students were randomly selected for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection among undergraduates of selected tertiary institutions in Ibadan. Data were analyzed using SPSS, including frequency, percentage, and chi-square test, at a 0.05 significance level. <strong>Results:</strong> This study showed that 78% of the participants have good knowledge of HIV/AIDS, only 42.7% of them were aware of their HIV status, and 74.7 % of them have never been tested. This study revealed that 82% of the participants perceived themselves to be at low risk for HIV, resulting in reduced motivation to seek HIV testing. There was a significant association between the age and gender of the respondents and HIV status awareness (p= 0.000; p= 0.010). There was also a significant association between their knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their status awareness (p= 0.003). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Many young people know about HIV/AIDS, however, the majority of them have never been tested. Hence, only a few are aware of their status. Therefore, there should be collaborative efforts between healthcare providers, educators, and policymakers to create supportive environments to improve access to HIV testing services.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0769/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Recognizing the increasing role of AI in enhancing trust, convenience, and service quality, this research aims to investigate these factors’ effects on personalised customer experience. The study employed a cross-sectional survey with a sample of 384 Shopee users, analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that trust in AI, convenience, and service quality all significantly contribute to customer satisfaction and personalised experiences. Trust fosters confidence in AI-driven features, convenience enhances customer ease and interaction efficiency, and high service quality positively impacts the perceived value of AI personalisation. These findings highlight the practical implications of AI for e-commerce, underscoring the need for secure, efficient, and high-quality AI implementations. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts of AI-driven personalisation across different platforms and cultural contexts to better understand long-term customer loyalty and satisfaction.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0763/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
