The critical role of trust in adopting AI-powered educational technology for learning: An instrument for measuring student perceptions by Tanya Nazaretsky, Paola Mejia-Domenzain, Vinitra Swamy, Jibril Frej, Tanja Käser

“…With 665 student responses, we employ Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis to provide evidence of the instrument's internal validity and identify four key factors influencing students' trust and readiness to adopt AI-EdTech. We then utilize Structural Equations Modeling to explore the causal relationships among these factors, confirming that students' trust in AI-EdTech positively influences AI-EdTech's perceived usefulness both directly and indirectly through AI-readiness. …”

The double-edged sword of internet use in China’s aging population: thresholds, mediation and digital health policy by Yirong Li, Jianguang Cai, Haiyong Yu

“…Although the current average of 1.8 h/day of use internet is well below the harmful threshold, structural digital exclusion creates a compensation-vulnerability paradox: older and less-educated groups derive greater marginal health benefits from moderate use but face higher risks of overuse due to limited digital literacy and physiological constraints.ConclusionInternet use offers conditional health benefits for older adults, contingent on usage thresholds and mediated by physical activity. …”

The Performative Dimension of a Literary Text-Concert by Svitlana Macenka

“…The text itself is conceptualized as a concert, i.e., the plot may be framed by a concert event or be presented as a special concert event with a detailed description of the conditions of the performance (acoustic space, the drama, timing, atmosphere, acoustic background, relevant auditory habits, and performative and ritualistic elements of the concert) and their impact on the listener. Due to particular structural technologies aimed at the most adequate and vocal rendering of the musical performance, a text of this type is played out as a concert that exceeds the limits of representation and displays such dimensions as embodiment, mediality, or eventfulness. …”
