Summary
Students
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Health Sciences Education
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Technology's impact on education is extensively studied.
- Understanding student technology perception and use is vital, especially in anatomy.
- The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model is a key framework for assessing technology adoption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate student acceptance and usage of metaverse technology for anatomy education.
- To apply the UTAUT2 model to understand factors influencing metaverse technology adoption in this context.
- To evaluate the impact of metaverse technology on anatomy and health education.
Main Methods:
- Study conducted with Midwifery students during Fall 2022-2023.
- Anatomy education delivered in a metaverse environment for 6 weeks.
- Data collected using the UTAUT2 scale and analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling.
Main Results:
- Social influence, facilitating conditions, and habit significantly affect behavioral intention.
- Habit also influences usage behavior.
- Metaverse technology explained 75.30% of behavioral intention and 54.90% of usage behavior.
- Hedonic motivation showed the highest participation, while habit had the lowest.
Conclusions:
- Metaverse technology is a viable tool for anatomy and health education.
- Findings provide insights into factors driving metaverse technology adoption among health science students.
- Results can inform strategies to enhance metaverse technology integration in educational settings.

01:13Induced-fit Model
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical characteristics of...

01:30Machines: Problem Solving II
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.
01:30Typical Model Studies
Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.
01:23Quadratic Models
Quadratic models are mathematical representations used to describe relationships in which the rate of change changes at a constant rate. These models appear in a wide variety of natural and engineered systems, especially those involving motion, forces, and optimization. One common application is analyzing the vertical motion of objects influenced by gravity, such as a ball thrown into the air.In such scenarios, the object's height changes over time in a curved pattern, rising to a maximum point...
01:13Problem Solving: Volume
The volume of a fuel tank mounted on the wing of a jet aircraft can be modeled using the concept of solids of revolution. In this case, the tank is formed by rotating a two-dimensional region, defined by a mathematical function, about the x-axis. The region extends along the axis from zero to two meters, and the resulting three-dimensional shape is symmetric about the axis of rotation. Because the boundary curve lies directly against the axis, the disk method is an appropriate technique for...
