(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2024) AlQaifi, Faten; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Aras, Ilknur Arslan; Business; 05. School of Business; 01. Atılım University
Purpose - This study provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) applications on oral healthcare, focusing on clinical outcomes. Design/methodology/approach - A systematic approach was used to gather articles from databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2010 to 2024. The selection criteria included articles published in English, focusing solely on clinical applications of AI in dentistry. Articles such as conference proceedings, editorial material and personal opinions were excluded. The articles were analyzed and visualized using Rayyan software, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer. Findings - Results indicate that 120 publications were authored by 58 scholars from 92 institutions across 29 countries, with a notable surge since 2018. This analysis showed the significant emphasis on the use of deep learning, demonstrating its high accuracy and performance in oral healthcare, often exceeding that of dentists. It also proved that even though AI is sometimes seen as an auxiliary tool, many studies revealed that AI has a performance near dental professionals' levels. Findings concluded that the majority of studies indicate that AI is generating better clinical outcomes in oral healthcare. Practical implications - This study provides dental professionals with insights on integrating AI for better diagnosis and treatment. Policymakers and healthcare institutions can use these findings to inform AI adoption and training strategies. Originality/value - It presents novel and valuable findings that can benefit various stakeholders by shedding light on the present scenario and potential future paths of AI integration in oral healthcare, contributing to its overall advancement.
International Students' Adaptation in Ankara: The Mediating Roles of Anxiety and Self-Esteem
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) AlQaifi, Faten; 01. Atılım University
With globalization, the appeal of studying abroad has grown among university students seeking better educational and career opportunities. However, adapting to a new culture often presents significant challenges, especially as international students face language barriers, cultural differences, and stressors that affect their anxiety, self-esteem, and identity development. Despite the importance of these factors, research on this topic in Turkey remains limited. This study addresses this gap by assessing general anxiety levels of students and examining the relationship between adaptation and identity development among international students, using cross-sectional quantitative methods and self-reported questionnaires. Data from 488 participants were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS. Results indicate that both anxiety and self-esteem partially mediate the relationship between identity development and adaptation. Anxiety negatively associates with both identity development and adaptation, while self-esteem shows positive associations with both. Proficiency level and previous travel experience were identified as significant factors influencing students' adaptation. These findings offer valuable insights for universities, policymakers, and other stakeholders in creating a supportive environment that enhances the adaptation experience of international students.
