    The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Vascular Surgery: a Bibliometric Analysis (2020-2024)
    (Turkish National Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Society, 2024) Tosun, Burcu; Demirkılıç, Ufuk
    Aim: This study aims to perform a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of academic publications on AI applications in vascular surgery, identifying key authors, influential journals, prevalent research themes, and international collaborations, focusing on infrastructure, conceptual structure, and social networks within the field.Material and Methods: The analysis covers 815 documents published from 2020 to 2024, retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Metrics analyzed include publication growth, citation rates, key contributors, leading journals, prevalent themes, and international collaborations.Results: The research output showed a 15% annual growth rate, peaking in 2023. Despite increasing publications, the average citation rate per article declined. The study identified 5039 contributors with significant international co-authorship. Leading authors included Lareyre F and Raffort J, and the \"Journal of Vascular Surgery\" was the most influential journal. The USA and China led in contributions, reflecting robust research infrastructure. Key themes include risk assessment, diagnostic methods, and patient management, highlighting AI's role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes in vascular surgery.Conclusion: The analysis highlights the rapid growth and collaborative nature of AI research in vascular surgery. Key contributors, influential journals, and emerging themes were identified, emphasizing AI's role in improving diagnostics and patient outcomes. Limitations include the focus on one database and a five-year period, suggesting future research should include more databases and a longer timeframe. Exploring high-impact studies and practical applications will further advance the field.

    An Investigation Into The AI-Assisted Visualization Of Children’s Songs: The Case Of Ali Baba’s Farm
    (Nilgun SAZAK, 2025) Südor, S.; İpekçiler, B.
    This study aims to visualize children’s songs, which are part of primary-level music education, using AI-supported tools. The objectives of the Ministry of National Education’s music course curriculum were examined, and both the themes to be emphasized in song selection and the pedagogical functions of children’s songs were analyzed. In the literature review, the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases were used. The obtained source data were analyzed with the VOSviewer software to generate conceptual maps, through which thematic trends in the field were identified. In the practical part of the study, the children’s song “Old MacDonald’s Farm” was visualized in detail using two different AI-supported tools: RunwayML and WZRD.ai. In RunwayML, prompt-based scenes were generated using the “text-to-video” feature, and visuals compatible with the lyrics of the song were created. On the WZRD.ai platform, visuals were automatically generated in response to sound waves, and the limitations of the platform were examined. Based on the findings, it was concluded that RunwayML offers more effective results for pedagogical content production, while WZRD. ai, despite its technical capabilities, falls short in delivering child-appropriate visual stimuli. The study also provides a theoretical foundation on synesthesia and discusses how AI tools can be integrated into music education in early childhood and primary school levels. The findings indicate that AI-supported visualization tools have the potential to provide engaging and flexible educational materials that support learning at the primary school level. It is recommended that teacher training programs develop hands-on modules for these tools, and that future research focus on how these technologies can be adapted to various songs, age groups, and learning domains. © © 2025 The Author(s).

    University Librarians’ Perceptions Of Artificial Intelligence, Its Application Areas İn Libraries, And The Future;
    (University and Research Librarians Association (UNAK), 2024) Cuhadar, Sami; Gurdal, Gultekin; Erken, Mehmet; Mert, Selma; Gezer, Cagatay; Helvacıoğlu, Ece; Atli, Songül
    Günümüzde kütüphaneler, değişen teknoloji ve yeniliklerden etkilenen kurumlar arasında yer almaktadır. Yapay zeka teknolojilerinin popüler hale gelmesi, kütüphane hizmetlerini de dönüştürmeye başlamıştır. Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’deki üniversite kütüphanelerinin yapay zeka teknoloji ve uygulamalarının gelişim sürecinde yapmış olduğu ve yapmayı planladığı düzenlemeleri tespit etmek ve ilgili döneme özel geliştirdikleri hizmetleri belirlemek amacıyla bir anket uygulanmıştır. Anket, Türkiye’deki 208 üniversite kütüphanesinden 111 üniversite kütüphanesi yöneticisinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizi ile üniversite kütüphanelerinin yapay zeka teknolojileri ve uygulamaları hakkındaki durumu, bilgi ve farkındalık düzeyleri belirlenmiş, eksik ve zayıf yönlerin geliştirilmesine yönelik önlemler ve öneriler sunulmuştur. İlgili araştırma, yapay zeka konusunda Türkiye’de üniversite kütüphanesi yöneticilerinden görüş ve öneri alarak gerçekleştirilen ilk ve en kapsamlı çalışmadır. Araştırma bulguları, üniversite kütüphanelerinin ChatGPT, Gemini, Grammarly vb. yapay zeka uygulamalarını belirli düzeyde kullandıklarını ancak yapay zeka ile ilgili kurumsal politika geliştirme, personele yetkinlik kazandırma ve planlama konularında ihtiyaçlarının olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.

    AI Trustworthiness and Student Pilots: Exploring Attitudes, Anxieties, and Adaptation Performance
    (Elsevier B.V., 2025) Ceken, S.; Yilmaz, A.A.; Acar, A.B.
    This research explores the attitudes of student pilots toward artificial intelligence (AI) applications within the aviation sector, with a focus on their adaptation processes and potential challenges. The recent release of the "EASA AI Roadmap 2.0"by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) underscores the growing impact of AI on aviation, driving the emergence of new business models and emphasizing a human-centric approach to AI integration within the aviation industry. This study addresses a significant gap in the literature by examining student pilots' perspectives on AI, specifically focusing on AI trustworthiness, attitudes, anxieties, and adaptation performance. The study utilizes a quantitative research approach, collecting data from 150 student pilots through surveys. Preliminary results from 106 respondents indicate varied attitudes toward AI, with significant implications for AI-supported cockpit assistant systems and the broader aviation industry. The study sample consisted of 106 (Mage = 23.6, SDage= 4.64; 79% male) student pilots from of university pilot training departments and various flight school in Turkey. Collected data were analyzed on SPSS 29. The study revealed that Sociotechnical Blindness AI anxiety is a significant predictor of general attitudes toward AI among student pilots. This finding suggests that higher levels of anxiety related to the perceived complexity and potential unintended consequences of AI are associated with more positive general attitudes toward AI. The findings emphasize the need for a human-centric approach to AI integration, highlighting the importance of trust, transparency, and adaptive training in the successful adoption of AI technologies in aviation. © 2024 The Authors.
