This study investigates how to improve Vietnamese learners' learning experiences by utilizing the benefits of blended learning systems in conjunction with eduAI technology. This paper presents an innovative way to enhance students' learning capabilities and the quality of their education through the implementation of an actual case study. The creation of flexible and efficient e-Course development requires the unwavering backing of information technology. Here, artificial intelligence technology called eduAI has helped teachers by offering a particular eight-part model that will guide and support them as they create e-courses that adhere to the Blended Learning model.

HIV can cause numerous health-related complications, which can lead to disabilities that affect the quality of life. Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to conduct a thorough investigation of the potential effects of a sedentary lifestyle (SDL) on the cardio-motor profile of Hispanic Latinos living with HIV. Methods: A submaximal cardiovascular test (Ross Test) was conducted to obtain cardiomotor results. Retrospective data was collected from the cardiomotor data, which was collected from records of members enrolled at the HIV fitness center in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Results: Two hundred ninety-one participants were designated 250 in the non-SD and SD groups. The SD group displayed a comparable Cd4 count value (626.3+/-334.5) to the non-SD group (677.9+/-453.1). Both groups had comparable CD4 counts. An ANOVA comparison determined variations in the SD group, with a reduced treadmill inclination distinguished from the counterpart. Conclusion: Motor parameters are deficient in patients with both conditions. It seems the more challenging gait motor components are the first signs of those surviving with HIV who live an SDL. We encourage healthcare providers to incorporate specific cardio-motor items alluded to in this investigation to identify the process influencing gait that further alters the quality of life of those with HIV.

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (H.I.V.) infection affects motor and cognitive systems and can lead to impairments in gait and balance. The application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), particularly to the prefrontal cortex, has shown encouraging results in enhancing cognition and executive functioning in individuals with H.I.V., both in the short and long term. Despite the current research, some experts have suggested that incorporating a task that stimulates higher cognitive centers in conjunction with tDCS may enhance its effects. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of tDCS combined with a tracking task on the prefrontal cortex as a viable treatment for enhancing balance and gait in individuals living with H.I.V. Methods: The study evaluated nine female participants, all living with H.I.V., with an average age of 58.8 ± 4.6. As part of the experiment, each participant's gait was carefully evaluated before and after tDCS treatment to measure any potential changes in their walking patterns accurately. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) was non-invasively administered to the participants' prefrontal cortex within seven days to investigate its possible effects on brain function. Results: Upon analyzing the data, the results demonstrated significant variations between single and dual tasks in numerous aspects, such as temporospatial, turn, and balance, before transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), ultimately shedding light on the potential cognitive difficulties that may arise. Data analysis showed noticeable improvements in various aspects, such as stride length, turn duration, and balance trends, when tDCS was applied. Conclusion: This study's findings suggest that tDCS may improve these parameters. However, it is recommended that treatments be administered over an extended time, which is longer than that observed in this study.
