This systematic review examined, through the UTAUT2 model, the factors influencing the acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in university contexts. A total of 50 scientific texts published between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed and selected after a rigorous search of specialized databases. These findings confirm the versatility of UTAUT2 in elucidating technological adoption processes in higher education. Performance expectancy and hedonic motivation emerged as significant predictors of intentions and effective use among students, faculty, and administrative staff. Among students, perceived ease of use and social influence were also relevant. The analysis revealed differences in adoption patterns between STEM and non-STEM disciplines and between public and private institutions. Despite widespread positive perceptions of AI's potential, barriers such as distrust and lack of knowledge persist. The research also identified moderating and mediating factors, such as prior technology experience and technological self-efficacy. These results have important implications for the implementation of AI in higher education, suggesting the need for differentiated approaches according to the characteristics of each group and institutional context. It is recommended to develop strategies that address the identified barriers and leverage facilitators, with an emphasis on training, ethical design, and contextual adaptation of AI applications. Future research should explore the longitudinal evolution of these factors and examine AI adoption in non-STEM disciplines in greater depth.

: The aim of this study was to analyze whether the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically the Natural Language Processing (NLP) branch developed by OpenAI, could help a thoracic multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB) make decisions if provided with all of the patient data presented to the committee and supported by accepted clinical practice guidelines. : This is a retrospective comparative study. The inclusion criteria were defined as all patients who presented at the thoracic MTB with a suspicious or first diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer between January 2023 and June 2023.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is transforming the computer-aided design of microfluidic chips. As a key component, microfluidic mixers are widely used in bioengineering, chemical experiments, and medical diagnostics due to their efficient mixing capabilities. Traditionally, the simulation of these mixers relies on the finite element method (FEM), which, although effective, presents challenges due to its computational complexity and time-consuming nature.

: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining an increasing amount of influence in various fields, including medicine. In radiology, where diagnoses are based on collaboration between diagnostic devices and the professional experience of radiologists, AI intervention seems much easier than in other fields, but this is often not the case. Many times, the patients orient themselves according to the doctor, which is not applicable in the case of AI.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sample size on the development of a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3DCNN) model for predicting the binary classification of three types of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH): intraparenchymal, subarachnoid, and subdural (IPH, SAH, SDH, respectively). During the training, we compiled all images of each brain computed tomography scan into a single 3D image, which was then fed into the model to classify the presence of ICH. We divided the non-hemorrhage quantities into 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, and 150 and the ICH quantities into 20, 30, 40, and 50.

Objectives: In Multiple Sclerosis (MS) cerebral MRI is essential for disease and treatment monitoring. For this purpose, software solutions are available to support the radiologist with image interpretation and reporting of follow up imaging. Aim of this study was to evaluate an AI based software for longitudinal lesion detection with clinical data and to determine the influence of different MRI machines in such setting.
