Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Bibliometric Study

The aim of this study is to examine the studies in the literature on the use of artificial intelligence in education in terms of its bibliometric properties. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used to collect the data. Various keywords were used to search the literature, and a total of 2,686 publications on the subject published between 2001-2021 were found. The inquiry revealed that most of the studies were carried out in the USA. According to the results, it was seen that the most frequently published journals were Computers Education and International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning. The study showed that the institutions of the authors were in the first place as Carnegie Mellon University, University of Memphis and Arizona State University as the most productive organizations due to the number of their publications, while Vanlehn, K. and Chen, C. –M. were the most effective and productive researchers. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the co-authorship network structure was predominantly USA, Taiwan and United Kingdom. In addition, when the keywords mentioned together were mapped, it was seen that the words artificial intelligence, intelligent tutoring systems, machine learning, deep learning and higher education were used more frequently.

Collaboration to serve military-affiliated students: A textbooks reserves project at the University of Memphis

Military-affiliated students are a diverse campus constituency and may encounter a number of obstacles to their academic success. At the University of Memphis (UM), the Veteran and Military Student Services (VMSS) center provides a wide-ranging suite of services to engage and support military-affiliated students. This article describes how two UM departments, the University Libraries and VMSS, collaborated to facilitate the discovery and circulation of an existing collection of textbooks for military-affiliated students.

Effect of Hot Water Extracts of White Button Mushrooms on Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAEC) Exposed to Hyperglycemia (P06-085-19)

Objectives In the present study, we investigated the effects of WBM on aortic endothelium alone or in a hyperglycemic environment with or without insulin. Methods Sterile (0.22 um filtered) hot water extracts of WBM (Agaricus bisporus) were added to endothelial basal medium (5% v/v) alone or containing glucose (final concentration 600 mg/dl; 33.3 mM) and/or insulin (100 nM) for 24 hours. Results We show that WBM increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by 2.5-fold (p < 0.05) compared to control cultures using the DCFH-DA assay, which was further increased 18% with insulin inclusion, but decreased by ∼20% in the presence of glucose with or without insulin. WBM also increased nitric oxide (NO) levels by 4-fold (p < 0.05) compared to control cultures, which was further increased by 3.5-fold in the presence of glucose (p < 0.05) suggesting possible potentiation. We noted no differences in NO production, compared to control cultures, with inclusion of insulin with or without glucose. Viability determined by MTT reduction, was not different between any of the groups. Conclusions The results suggest that water-soluble components of WBM may modulate ROS and NO production in a hyperglycemic microenvironment and potentially improve endothelial function, in part, via the potential vasorelaxation properties of NO.

In the News

Welcome to the April 2019 issue of C&RL News. We start out this month with two articles focusing on scholarly communication issues. Navigating copyright in open educational resources is the focus of Lindsey Gumb’s Scholarly Communication column “An open impediment.” At the University of Memphis, librarians increased knowledge of data issues on campus through a professional development program for faculty. They write about their efforts in the article “Data Stewardship Week in an academic library.”
