    Current Evaluation and Recommendations for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Education
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2023-12-01) Sagin, Ferhan Girgin; Özkaya, Ali Burak; Tengiz, Funda; Geyik, Öykü Gönül; Geyik, Caner
    This paper discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in education, delineating their potential to transform pedagogical practices alongside the challenges they present. Generative AI models like ChatGPT, had a disruptive impact on teaching and learning, due to their ability to create text, images, and sound, revolutionizing educational content creation and modification. However, nowadays the educational community is polarized, with some embracing AI for its accessibility and efficiency thus advocating it as an indispensable tool, while others cautioning against risks to academic integrity and intellectual development. This document is designed to raise awareness about AI tools and provide some examples of how they can be used to improve education and learning. From an educator's perspective, AI is an asset for curriculum development, course material preparation, instructional design and student assessment, while reducing bias and workload. For students, AI tools offer personalized learning experiences, timely feedback, and support in various academic activities. The Turkish Biochemical Society (TBS) Academy recommends educators to embrace and utilize AI tools to enhance educational processes, and engage in peer learning for better adaptation while maintaining a critical perspective on their utility and limitations. The transfer of AI knowledge and methods to the teaching experiences should complement and not replace the educator's creativity and critical thinking. The paper advocates for an informed embrace of AI, AI fluency among educators and students, ethical application of AI in academic settings, and continuous engagement with the evolving AI technologies, ensuring that AI tools are used to augment critical thinking and contribute positively to education and society.

    ?-Hydroxybutyrate Does Not Influence Viability and Clonogenicity of A549 Lung Cancer Cells
    (2023-03-15) Özkaya, Ali Burak; Malcanlı, Semanur; Geyik, Öykü Gönül
    Background/Purpose: The metabolic shift from catabolism of carbohydrates to lipids results in production of ketone bodies leading to a state called ketosis. Ketosis via ketone supplement or ketogenic diet has been proposed as a non-toxic therapeutic option for a broad range of malignancies. Although the clinical impact of ketogenic diet is well-documented, the effect of ketone bodies on cancer cell biology is not clear for some cancers including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of the most prominent ketone body, ?-hydroxybutyrate, on a NSCLC cell line, A549. Methods: A549 cell line was utilized as the in vitro model in this study. The effects of different ?-hydroxybutyrate concentrations on cell viability were measured via sulphorodamine-B (SRB) viability assay. Long term effects of ketosis were evaluated via colony formation assay. Finally, the effect of ?-hydroxybutyrate on cell migration was determined via scratch assay. Results: Our results suggest that introduction of ?-hydroxybutyrate in physiologically relevant concentrations into the cell culture media does not influence cell viability, clonogenicity or migration. Conclusion: ?-hydroxybutyrate has been previously demonstrated to induce, inhibit or does not influence the viability of different cell lines but there is no report regarding its effects on NSCLC cells. Here we report that physiologically relevant concentrations of ?-hydroxybutyrate have no effect on viability, clonogenicity and migration of A549 cells.
