“…In contrast, the number of students using more than one device was relatively lower. This finding could be due to the fact that smartphones are both economically accessible and also available with most of the students and families (Kaysi, Yavuz, & Aydemir, 2021;Talan, 2021). These results are consistent with the results of studies conducted by Öz Ceviz et al ( 2020), Pala (2018), Serçemeli and Kurnaz (2020), and YÖK (2020).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the views of secondary and high school students regarding the distance education activities carried out during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the blended learning activities conducted afterwards, and the post-pandemic back-to-school process. The study consisted of 982 students and was conducted utilizing the descriptive survey method, one of the quantitative research methods. Data were collected using the "Scale of Evaluating Instruction in Pandemic Process". The findings indicated that most of the students used smartphones alone for distance education during the pandemic process and most of them participated in distance education only via live lessons. In addition, no significant difference was found between genders with regard to students' satisfaction with the distance education process and their expectations. On the other hand, most of the students did not receive sufficient psychological and academic support during this process. It was also noted that the students with internet access were more satisfied with the instruction activities in this process and that their access to the internet and technologies were higher than the students without internet access. Based on our findings, we recommend that students should be provided with academic and psychological support, security precautions should be tightened in schools to minimize the effects of the pandemic, and equal opportunities should be provided to students regarding hardware and internet support.

“…Studies like Alzougool and AlMansour's (2017) from Kuwait show social networking dominates smartphone use, a trend seen globally by the popularity of chat and social media apps [25]. While this digital connection offers clear benefits, research like Kaysi et al's (2021) reveals a puzzling gap that despite their constant presence, smartphones remain underutilized as deliberate learning tools [26]. This suggests a significant opportunity to thoughtfully integrate smartphones into educational strategies, potentially unlocking new avenues for student success.…”

“…Previous research on mobile phone usage often relied on self-reports, which can be unreliable. Kaysi et al's (2021) study takes a groundbreaking approach by directly tracking smartphone usage with an app [26]. Their results are concerning, showing that university students in their sample used their phones for an average of 317 minutes daily.…”

The examination of potential health risks from mobile phone usage has become a pressing concern, particularly among student populations. Young adults, who are among the most active users of mobile devices, often spend extensive time on their phones for several reasons, including academic work, social interactions, and entertainment [14]. This sustained usage may increase their vulnerability to the adverse effects linked with mobile phone overuse. Research conducted with university students in multiple countries has shown correlations between prolonged phone use and physical issues such as musculoskeletal pain, eye strain, headaches, and sleep disturbances [16][17][18]. Additionally, excessive mobile phone use can lead to psychological effects like increased distraction, reduced focus, and problematic internet habits, which are particularly concerning within an academic setting where sustained attention and focus are crucial.

“…However, the use of AI-based technology in college archive management raises concerns about ethics, bias, and cultural sensitivity [8]. As AI algorithms are educated on historical data, they may unintentionally perpetuate biases seen in archival sources, resulting in distorted representations or misinterpretations of cultural narratives.…”

This study looks into the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies, notably Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models and data augmentation approaches, in college archives management. With the rapid expansion of digital information, archive organizations have enormous issues in maintaining, organizing, and giving access to their vast collections of historical documents and scholarly resources. AI solutions present possible solutions to these difficulties by automating labor-intensive operations and improving the efficiency and accuracy of preservation workflows. In this study, they investigate the transformational potential of CNN models in digitization activities, utilizing their visual data processing skills to automate and enhance the digitization of visual resources within college archives. In addition, they look into how data augmentation techniques might improve the resilience and generalization capabilities of AI models, reducing biases and improving performance across a variety of archive collections. Using empirical research, theoretical analysis, and case studies, they present insights into the opportunities and obstacles of implementing AI-based technology in college archive management. Furthermore, they discuss ethical implications for the deployment of AI solutions, emphasizing the significance of transparency, accountability, and stakeholder participation. This study aims to inform archival practitioners, technologists, and stakeholders about the effective and responsible integration of AI technologies in cultural heritage preservation and promotion within academic institutions by elucidating the practical applications and implications of CNN models and data augmentation techniques in archival contexts.
