Efficient broadband Internet access is required for optimal productivity in smart campuses. Besides access to broadband Internet, delivery of high speed and good Quality of Service (QoS) are pivotal to achieving a sustainable development in the area of education. In this data article, trends and patterns of the speed of broadband Internet provided in a Nigerian private university campus are largely explored. Data transmission speed and data reception speed were monitored and recorded on daily basis at Covenant University, Nigeria for a period of twelve months (January-December, 2017). The continuous data collection and logging were performed at the Network Operating Center (NOC) of the university using SolarWinds Orion software. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses, Probability Density Functions (PDFs), Cumulative Distribution Functions (CDFs), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, and multiple comparison post-hoc test are performed using MATLAB 2016a. Extensive statistical visualizations of the results obtained are presented in tables, graphs, and plots. Availability of these data will help network administrators to determine optimal network latency towards efficient deployment of high-speed broadband communication networks in smart campuses.

Article Synopsis
- The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the world population, leading to increased reliance on e-learning, particularly among medical students.
- A study involving 207 medical students at Kumudini Women's Medical College revealed that 67.1% reported a positive experience with e-learning, with most students in the 21-23 age range.
- Factors such as urban residence and the predominant use of mobile devices and platforms like Zoom and WhatsApp contributed to the overall experience, although many students found practical classes challenging and noted average internet speeds during sessions.
Global miniaturization of broadband antennas by prescreening and machine learning.

Networks and Communication Engineering Department, Al Ain University, 112612, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The development of contemporary electronic components, particularly antennas, places significant emphasis on miniaturization. This trend is driven by the emergence of technologies such as mobile communications, the internet of things, radio-frequency identification, and implantable devices. The need for small size is accompanied by heightened demands on electrical and field properties, posing a considerable challenge for antenna design.

Article Synopsis
- In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), social determinants of health (SDOHs) at the census-tract level impact treatment decisions, but their use in research is limited due to privacy issues.
- A study analyzed treatment patterns among 3,595 NSCLC patients, linking their addresses to important SDOH indicators like primary care shortages and internet access, using statistical models to assess correlations.
- Results indicated that living in areas with primary care shortages and in non-metropolitan locations was associated with a higher likelihood of receiving radiation therapy instead of surgery, and patients from disadvantaged areas often started treatment later, suggesting the need to consider SDOHs in cancer outcome studies.

Background: Studies show that the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs), including smartphones, tablets, computers, and the internet, varies by demographic factors such as age, gender, and educational attainment. However, the connections between ICT use and factors such as ethnicity and English proficiency, especially among Asian American older adults, remain less explored. The technology acceptance model (TAM) suggests that 2 key attitudinal factors, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU), influence technology acceptance.
