541 | 2024 Article | A scoping review of the effects of a technology-integrated, inquiry-based approach on primary pupils’ learning in science Romarzila Omar Background: Since the turn of the 21st century, research on an inquiry-based approach in science education has increasingly been geared towards the integration of technology, primarily focused on secondary and tertiary education. Thus far, no study has reviewed research on a technology-integrated, inquiry-based approach in the specific context of primary science education. Purpose & Method: This scoping review has two primary aims: to investigate the characteristics of the technological interventions used in previous research that employed an inquiry-based approach in science education and to examine the effects of this integrated approach on primary pupils’ learning in science. Fifteen articles from science education journals based on Scimago Journal Rank in the first quartile of 2020 and the Scopus database of the years 2017 to 2021 were extracted and reviewed using narrative and thematic analysis. Findings: The review navigates research that has focused on the development of inqui..... 57 hits |
542 | 2024 Article | A novel evaluation framework for medical LLMs: Combining fuzzy logic and MCDM for medical relation and clinical concept extraction Dianes, David Emmanuel Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial element of modern technology, especially in the healthcare sector, which is apparent given the continuous development of large language models (LLMs), which are utilized in various domains, including medical beings. However, when it comes to using these LLMs for the medical domain, there’s a need for an evaluation platform to determine their suitability and drive future development efforts. Towards that end, this study aims to address this concern by developing a comprehensive Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach that is specifically designed to evaluate medical LLMs. The success of AI, particularly LLMs, in the healthcare domain, depends on their efficacy, safety, and ethical compliance. Therefore, it is essential to have a robust evaluation framework for their integration into medical contexts. This study proposes using the Fuzzy-Weighted Zero-InConsistency (FWZIC) method extended to p, q-quasirung orthopair fuzzy set (p, ..... 162 hits |

546 | 2024 Article | Boosting solar cell performance: Optimization of WS2 absorber with Cu2O HTL & ZnSe ETL using SCAPS-1D simulation Suriani Abu Bakar Thin-film photovoltaic materials like WS2 offer abundant, low-cost, transparent energy sources. WS2 boasts high carrier mobility, a superior optical absorption coefficient over 105 cm− 1, a favorable band gap of 1.3 eV, and non-toxic properties, making it a promising photon absorber. Previous studies explored various WS2-based solar cell designs for enhanced efficiency. This study investigates an ultrathin WS2 solar cell with Cu2O as the hole transport layer (HTL) and ZnSe as the electron transport layer (ETL). The traditional toxic CdS-based buffer structure is proposed to replace a ZnSe-based alternative. Results show significant enhancements in electrical characteristics, with a maximum conversion efficiency of 31.99% at the optimal bandgap, with a VOC of 1.03 V, a JSC of 35.26 mAcm− 2, and an FF of 88.08% with Cu2O HTL. On the other hand, we have got Voc of 0.97 V, Jsc of 35.02 mA/cm2, FF of 87.08%, and PCE of 29.72% without HTL. This suggests the potential of the proposed..... 35 hits |
