AI-focused peer assessment in internship programs: Effects on virtual learning competencies and attitudes towards AI
(International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2025) Kayhan, Osman; Tokatlı, Nazlı; Altun, Halis; Korkmaz, Özgen
This research aims to investigate the impact of peer-evaluated internship activities centered on artificial intelligence on engineering students, specifically focusing on their virtual learning competencies, attitudes towards artificial intelligence, and ascertain student perspectives. For this purpose, mixed-methods research has been used. In this study, which used a sequential explanatory design, a preliminary experimental design was employed in the quantitative part and basic qualitative research methods were used in the qualitative part. The study group consists of 34 engineering students. Data were collected using the Project-Based Virtual Learning Competencies Scale, the General Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale, and semi-structured interview forms. The research demonstrated that internship activities centered on peer evaluation related to artificial intelligence in virtual learning environments considerably improved the virtual learning competencies of engineering students. However, these activities did not significantly influence their attitudes towards artificial intelligence, whether positive or negative. The tasks during the internship program are thought to have improved students' collaboration, problem-solving, communication, creative thinking, technical knowledge, project writing skills, and research skills. Furthermore, it has been determined that students have acquired experience and enhanced their skills in process management, leadership, and tolerance.
An analytical method for the determination of pentachloroaniline and pentachlorobenzene in ginseng tea samples by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry after liquid phase microextraction
(Elsevier, 2025) Erarpat Bodur, Sezin; Serbest, Hakan; Bakırdere, Sezgin
This study describes a sensitive and accurate analytical method for the determination of pentachloroaniline (PCA) and pentachlorobenzene (PCB) at trace levels in ginseng tea samples. For this purpose, spraying based fine droplet formation liquid phase microextraction (SFDF-LPME) method was implemented to extract/preconcentrate the target analytes before their separation and detection by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Herein, a lab-made spraying system was used to distribute the extraction solvent throughout the aqueous sample solution. Limit of detection/quantitation (LOD/LOQ) values for PCA and PCB were found as 0.24/0.80 and 0.26/0.85 μg/kg, respectively. When LOD values of GC-MS and SFDF-LPME-GC-MS methods were compared to each other, enhancement in detection power values for PCA and PCB were 285 and 226.9 folds, respectively. Percent recovery results for PCA and PCB were calculated as 92-124 % and 86-129 %, respectively. Green evaluation and practicability of developed SFDF-LPME-GC-MS method was done by Eco-scale (89), AGREEprep (0.39) and BAGI (62.5) tools.
From surgery to sports career: The long-term fate of athletes with discoid meniscus
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Ltd., 2025) Erden, Tunay; Ağır, Muzaffer; Ali, Jotyar; Toker, Berkin; Taşer, Ömer
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of different surgical techniques for discoid meniscus in athletes. Design: This retrospective cohort study included 44 athletes (51 knees) who underwent arthroscopic surgery for symptomatic discoid meniscus between 1996 and 2019. Setting: The study was conducted at a tertiary-level sports medicine center. Patients: Athletes aged 15 to 35 years with symptomatic discoid meniscus confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and requiring surgical treatment were included. Exclusion criteria were cartilage injuries (Outerbridge grades 3-4), concomitant ligament injuries requiring surgery, osteochondritis dissecans, and prior knee surgery. Interventions: Patients underwent arthroscopic partial, subtotal, or total meniscectomy, with or without meniscus repair. Main outcome measures: Functional outcomes were assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Lysholm scores. Osteoarthritis progression was evaluated using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Return to sports time and total career duration were also recorded and compared between the surgical groups. Results: The mean follow-up was 13.5 ± 6.2 years (range: 5-27 years). At the final follow-up, 72% of the meniscus-preserving group (partial meniscectomy and repair) had KL grade 0 osteoarthritis, whereas 38% of the subtotal/total meniscectomy group developed KL grades 3 to 4 osteoarthritis (P < 0.001). All groups showed significant postoperative functional improvements (P < 0.001), but career duration and return to play time were significantly longer in the meniscus-preserving group (P = 0.004, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Subtotal/total meniscectomy significantly accelerates osteoarthritis progression. Meniscus-preserving techniques provide better long-term outcomes.
Osseous anatomy of the distal radius: A morphometric analysis of external groove and bony ridge
(Springer Nature Link, 2025) Ok, Fatma; Çelikgün, Beyza; Nteli Chatzioglou, Gkionoul; Ertaş, Ahmet; Coşkun, Osman
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the presence and morphological and morphometric characteristics of the distal radius's external groove (EG) and bony ridge, which play a potential role in the pathogenesis and treatment difficulties of De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Methods: The osseous anatomy of the distal radius was analyzed in detail on a total of 103 dry bone specimens (49 left and 54 right) obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Istanbul University, Turkiye. The frequency and morphology of the EG were analyzed. The EGs were categorized as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 with two EGs, one EG with depth, and an additional EG without depth, respectively. Finally, flat areas without clear groove boundaries were classified as Type 4. Results: The analyses showed variations in the morphology and dimensions of the EG and bony ridge. A total of 110 EGs were detected in 103 radii examined. Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 EGs were reported in 30 bones (30%), 38 bones (38%), 12 bones (12%) and 23 bones (23%), respectively. The depth of the EG of Type 1 was 0.26 ± 0.23 mm and 0.22 ± 0.16 mm on the lateral and medial sides, respectively. Also, the depth of the Type 2 was calculated as 0.49 ± 0.37 mm. Conclusion: The osseous variations of the distal radius are critical anatomical factors contributing to the pathogenesis of De Quervain's tenosynovitis and difficulties in the treatment process. It is essential to recognize these variations to improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize therapeutic interventions.
Variations in the course of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and their importance in surgical procedures: An experimental cadaveric study
(The Polish Otolaryngology, 2023) Nteli Chatzioglou, Gkionoul; Sarı, Elif; Gayretli, Özcan; Coşkun, Osman; Öztürk, Adnan; Gürses, İlke Ali
Introduction: Injury of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve can cause a hoarse or weak voice due to the functional loss (dysergia) of the cricothyroid muscle. Defining the anatomical variations of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and estimating their frequency are crucial for surgical interventions. Aim: To reveal the topography of the external branch in the Anatolian population, to prevent injury of it during the surgical intervention in the anterior neck region. Material and methods: 26 bilateral hemilarynges (4 females, 22 males) were dissected. The morphometric and morphological features of the external branch were examined. The obtained results were compared statistically, left and right. Results: Landmarks such as the thyroid gland and laryngeal prominence were determined for the detection of the external branch. The variations of the course of the external branch and the points of piercing the cricothyroid muscle or inferior pharyn geal constrictor muscle were evaluated. Discussion: Although safe approaches have been described for nerve protection during neck surgeries, injuries may occur during preliminary surgery as the mentioned nerve is thinner and more superficial than other branches of the vagus nerve. However, it can be detected more easily and safely by knowing the defined anatomical landmarks and morphological varia tions of the external branch. Conclusion: The anatomical variations described can be a safe and important guide in surgeries of the anterior neck region.
