    Answer-based and reference-based BERT models for automatic scoring of Turkish short answers: The decisive role of task complexity

    Kara, Abdulkadir; Kara, Zeynep Avinc; Yildirim, Serkan

    In measurement and evaluation processes, natural language responses are often avoided due to time, workload, and reliability concerns. However, the increasing popularity of automatic short-answer grading studies for natural language responses means such answers can now be measured more quickly and reliably. This study aims to build models for predicting automatic short answer scores using the pre-trained BERT deep learning language model and to reveal their effectiveness. For this purpose, two different score prediction models were created using an answerbased approach that aligns student answers with expert judgements and a referencebased approach that matches student answers with reference answers. The dataset includes answers from 246 Physics department students responding to 4 physicsrelated questions. The performance of these models was evaluated on four physics questions representing varying levels of cognitive complexity, using Cohen's Kappa for statistical comparison of agreement with expert scores. Our findings reveal a clear interaction between model architecture and task complexity. The answer-based model was unequivocally superior for the most complex, multi-class task, effectively capturing diverse, nuanced responses. Conversely, the reference-based model demonstrated a statistically significant advantage for a well-defined, mediumcomplexity binary task. This study concludes that the optimal model for ASAG in Turkish is contingent on the cognitive demands of the assessment task, suggesting that a onesize-fits-all solution may not be the most effective approach. This provides a critical framework for practitioners, demonstrating not only that effective models are feasible for complex languages, but that their selection must be guided by task complexity.

    Beyond the Third Way- Reconstructing Class Consciousness through Marxist Educational Theory

    Aksakalli, Ayhan

    This article explores how Third Way policies have weakened class consciousness in education and how a Marxist model of education offers a powerful alternative to this weakening. By blending neoliberal approaches with social democracy, the Third Way promotes individualistic and market-oriented reforms in education, which have been found to deepen class inequalities and weaken class consciousness. These policies make the education system an instrument of capitalist ideology and hinder the achievement of social justice. The article argues that the Marxist model of education has the potential to reverse this weakening and rebuild class consciousness in education. This model is built on collective consciousness, the importance of critical pedagogy and the need for democratization in education. Education should be transformed from a system that prioritizes individual achievement into a tool for social justice. The research analyzes in detail the destructive effects of neoliberal education policies on class structures and demonstrates that Marxist education offers an effective solution to these inequalities. As a result, it is emphasized that the education system should be restructured as a tool to strengthen class consciousness and ensure social transformation.

    Modal testing and full-scale seismic evaluation of a historical minaret according to 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake and TBEC 2018 design spectrum

    Demirtas, Betul; Yanik, Yusuf; Aymelek, Abdullah; Türker, Temel; Yildirim, Omer

    PurposeMinarets, which were constructed from different types of materials, are slender and tall structures. Minarets could vary in terms of the construction technique, geometry and material. The seismic vulnerability and dynamic behavior of minarets could be different because of these reasons. Full-scale evaluation of minarets includes both experimental and numerical investigations. Experimental methods provide knowledge on the in situ conditions. The structural analysis and performance evaluation can be performed by using numerical methods. In this paper, full-scale structural evaluation of the Trabzon Fatih Mosque Minaret was presented by using experimental and numerical methods.Design/methodology/approachFirstly, the finite element (FE) model of the minaret was generated by ANSYS software. Then, experimental measurements were carried out under environmental vibrations with newly developed vibration system. Afterwards, the initial FE model of the minaret was updated by using manual updating method according to the experimental measurement results. For the seismic performance assessment of the historical minaret, the time history and response spectrum analyses were performed on the initial and updated FE models using the acceleration records of 2023 February Kahramanmaras earthquake and TBEC 2018 codes. The results were evaluated comparatively, revealing that the nonlinear analyses produced higher values compared to other methods. Additionally, variations were observed in the updated FE model results compared to the initial FE model. Finally, it was seen that the minaret did not have sufficient strength against Kahramanmaras earthquake load, so it could collapse under such an earthquake.FindingsBy employing model updating method, the average absolute difference was substantially reduced from 9.12% to 2.11%. The maximum displacements increased with the effect of model updating in all analyses. It was also seen that the spectrum analyses results had lower values than the time-history analyses results and the displacement of the updated FE model was found to be approximately 8% greater than that of the initial FE model in the nonlinear analyses. The maximum/minimum principal stresses decreased in the updated model in the linear analyses. Also, it was determined that the equivalent stresses were higher in linear analyses. It was seen that the cracks occurring in the nonlinear analyses were concentrated more intensely at the bottom region, the transition segment and around the balcony of the minaret. The concentration of damage in these regions suggested that special attention was needed to increase structural durability. The drift ratios were calculated as 0.0056 and 0.0076 for the initial and updated FE models in the linear analyses, respectively. The initial FE model remained the CD limit, but the updated model reached the limit in CP. The drift ratios were calculated as 0.0087 and 0.0093 for the initial and updated FE models in the nonlinear analyses. Both the FE models reached the CP limit. It could be concluded that the minaret did not have sufficient strength against Kahramanmaras Earthquake, so it could collapse under such an earthquake. The drift ratios were calculated as 0.0041 and 0.0043 for the initial and updated FE models in the spectrum analyses. Both the FE models remained within the CD limit.Originality/valueThis paper aimed to evaluate effects of FE model updating on the dynamic and seismic behaviors of the historical Fatih Mosque Minaret in Trabzon. Structural behavior of the minaret was investigated using both experimental and numerical methods. For this purpose, 3-D FE model generated with ANSYS software of the minaret was updated according to the ambient vibration test results. Ambient vibration tests were conducted by measurement system, which was developed by our research team. The manual model updating method was utilized to minimize the differences between numerical and experimental results by varying the material properties. The linear-nonlinear time history analyses and response spectrum analyses were carried out to evaluate the seismic performance of the initial and updated FE models using the acceleration records of 2023 February Kahramanmaras Earthquake records and TBEC 2018 codes.

    Galactooligosaccharides (GOSs) are prebiotic compounds derived from lactose, known for their ability to selectively promote the growth of beneficial gut microbiota, like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Their physiological benefits include enhanced gut health, improved immune function, and increased mineral absorption. Produced primarily through enzymatic synthesis using microbial β-galactosidases, GOSs offer an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical production methods. Recent advancements in enzyme immobilization and biotechnological approaches have optimized GOS yields, enabling their incorporation into a variety of food and health applications, including infant formulas, dairy products, and clinical supplements. The structural diversity of GOSs, characterized by their glycosidic linkages and degrees of polymerization, contributes to their functional versatility and prebiotic efficacy. Furthermore, their stability under acidic and high-temperature conditions makes them suitable for industrial processes. Despite these advancements, challenges such as cost reduction, process optimization, and the use of alternative substrates persist. Future research on enzyme engineering and tailored GOS formulations is anticipated to address these issues, expanding their applications in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and personalized health solutions. GOSs remain a promising tool for improving health and meeting diverse nutritional needs.

    Investigation of interior seed effects on levitation force in Melt-Grown YBCO superconductors by experimental and numerical methods

    Öztürk, Ufuk Kemal; Abderrahmane, Babe Cheikh; Uzun, Oğuzhan; Abdioğlu, Murat; Güner, Sait Barış; Quéval, Loïc

    This study introduces a novel Top-Interior Multi-Seeding Melt Growth (TI-MSMG) technique for fabricating high-performance YBCO bulk superconductors and explanations some physical background based on FEM modelling. The depth of the interior seed was gradually changed as 0, 2 and 4 mm (samples S0, S2 and S4, respectively) from the upper surface of the samples. By incorporating an interior seed into the precursor pellet, the TI-MSMG method enables systematic control over grain morphology and critical current density distribution. Magnetic levitation and guidance forces were measured using a three-axis force measurement system, and a two-dimensional finite element method (FEM) model based on the H-formulation of Maxwell’s equations was developed to simulate the electromagnetic behaviour of the superconductors with different seed positions. Experimental and modelling results reveal that samples incorporating an interior seed (S2) exhibit significantly enhanced levitation and guidance forces compared to S0 and S4, attributable to improved inter-domain interactions and morphological consistency, so a better current coupling. The numerical simulations accurately reproduced the experimental findings, confirming the validity of the modelling approach. These findings indicate that the TI-MSMG process not only addresses some limitations of conventional top-seeding methods but also enhances levitation force performance through optimization of interior seed depth, thereby enabling more efficient and tailored designs for high-temperature superconducting systems such as magnetic levitation, energy storage, and superconducting motors.

    Characterization and in situ bioprotective efficacy of reuterin E81 produced by Limosilactobacillus reuteri E81 in white cheese model

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Öztürk, Hale İnci; Dertli, Enes

    This study focused on characterization and in situ application of reuterin E81, a potent antimicrobial compound produced by Limosilactobacillus (L.) reuteri E81, in white cheese. Strain E81 harbored the gene island containing pdu-cbi-cob-hem clusters responsible for reuterin production and this led to investigation of reuterin production for this strain. Initially, reuterin was synthesized from glycerol and characterized using NMR and FT-MIR analyses. Specific 1H and 13C NMR peaks confirmed the presence of reuterin components such as 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde and acrolein, while FT-MIR spectra indicated a distinct carbonyl (C=O) stretching band at 1717 cm−1, characteristic of aldehyde groups of reuterin system. Reuterin E81 showed dose dependent fungistatic and bactericidal effects, with complete inhibition of Gram-negative ones at lower doses. In white cheese production, four groups were prepared, including control and experimental groups with or without glycerol addition. The challenge test conducted over 30 days of cold storage demonstrated that white cheese samples containing L. reuteri E81 and glycerol achieved a significant reduction in microbial loads, with Escherichia (E.) coli counts decreasing from 6.4 log CFU/g to undetectable levels, which was attributed to in situ reuterin production. Meanwhile, total aerobic mesophilic bacterial counts declined progressively. These findings highlight the potential of in situ reuterin production as a natural strategy to enhance the microbiological safety of white cheese. However, it also inhibited the growth of S. thermophilus and L. reuteri cultures. The inhibitory effects of reuterin on beneficial lactic acid bacteria suggest the need for further optimization to balance food safety with starter culture viability.

    Sustainable Optimization of Ohmic Heating–Assisted Extraction of Polyphenolics from Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum L.): LC–MS/MS Profiling and Blueness–Greenness Assessment

    Kantar, Harun; Ecem Bayram, Nesrin

    This study aimed to extract bioactive compounds from goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) fruit using the ohmic heating–assisted extraction (OHAE) method and optimize the extraction conditions. In this context, firstly, the extraction conditions to be applied for the OHAE method were determined using the response surface method (RSM)-Box Behnken experimental design. During the study, temperature, holding time, and electrical field strength were determined as independent variables, while the total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid compound (TFC), and antioxidant activity (DPPH) were selected as dependent variables. As a result of the optimization, the optimum conditions were determined to be 60 °C for the temperature, 60 min for the holding time, and 45 V/cm for the electrical field strength, and the composite desirability value of the model was 0.90. The highest experimental results for TPC, TFC, and DPPH were found to be 23.83 mg GAE/g, 7.33 mg QE/g, and 24.53 mg TE/g, respectively. In addition, the polyphenolic profiles of all extracts obtained under different process conditions were determined by LC–MS/MS, and rutin was the phenolic detected at the highest rate in the extracts. In addition, the blueness and greenness of the analytical method used in this study were evaluated using the BAGI and ComplexGAPI metrics, respectively. The results indicate that OHAE is an effective and sustainable method for extracting bioactive compounds from goji berries.

    Pedagogical spectacle: performativity, platform capitalism, and the aesthetic capture of critique

    Aksakallı, Ayhan

    This text is not merely a study of pedagogy but an intervention in pedagogy as spectacle. Structured in seven scenes, it examines how education in the digital age becomes a performance of visibility, an algorithmic rhythm, and a commodified production of knowledge. Drawing on critical theory, poststructuralist thought, and radical pedagogy, it refuses conventional academic form through fragmentation, rhythmic rupture, and narrative interruption. The text reveals how the student is shaped into a marketable subject, how critique is aestheticized into consumable content, and how the classroom functions as the stage of algorithmic flows. Each scene—from the commodified image of Freire to the pornographization of knowledge—produces opacity and resistance against smooth circulation. The central claim is radical: authentic pedagogical resistance lies not in teaching, performing, or concluding, but in silence, delay, and withdrawal as deliberate acts of opposition.

    Artificial Intelligence- Supported Formative and Summative Assessment Approaches in Blended Learning Environments

    Yavuz, Mehmet; Kayali, Bünyami

    This chapter explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and summative assessment in blended learning environments, beginning with the historical evolution of assessment systems. It highlights the limitations of traditional methods in objectivity, validity, inclusiveness, and feedback. AI technologies address these issues through functions such as personalised learning, real- time feedback, automated scoring, and enhanced test security. AI not only reduces teachers' workload but also enriches students' learning through data- driven insights. While formative assessment guides learning based on immediate performance data, summative assessment evaluates outcomes effectively. These AI- supported approaches transform assessment into a continuous, integrated component of the learning process. The chapter also addresses ethical concerns, such as data privacy and algorithmic fairness, stressing the importance of teacher competence and secure data handling. In conclusion, AI- enhanced assessment extends beyond traditional boundaries and becomes a dynamic tool to support learning.
