These challenges highlight the need for policies and guidelines towards the responsible useof LLMs. Educational institutions are actively engaged in deliberations to determine the mosteffective strategies for incorporating LLMs into their curricula [8]. As institutions grapple withthis decision, there have been noteworthy efforts to provide guidance on the ethical use of LLMs[8],[22],[9],[23].

This qualitative technique aims to explore the meanings and interpretations that the students make of their experiences, and to observe common themes across the participants allows us to capture the “essence” of the phenomenon [12]. Data collection was through pre-interview questionnaires and semi-structured interviews lasting approximately 60 minutes with each of the 19 participants. Interview transcripts were read several times and key portions of each were coded for meaningful units. Memos were created to summarize key points of each interview in order to ease comparison of common essences and to organize demographic

The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Yakutia residents. In fact, many residents are unable to afford heat for the entire winter (5 months). A Northeastern Federal University study shows that 38% of village residents have gone without heat for at least 30 winter days in the last 24 months.

The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties. The intent is to contribute to existing literature on patient triagedecision-making methods.Scope and Limitations:The scope of this project is limited to casualties expected to result from a conventional war witha near-peer adversary outside the United States. Also, the scope is restricted to the patientdistribution
