    Welcoming immigrants in Istanbul: Gendering faith-based and professionalised hospitality
    (2021) Senses, Nazli; Farahani, Fataneh
    This article examines the hospitality practices of pro-migrant civil society organisations in Istanbul. Drawing from qualitative interviews, we focus on intersecting gendered, professionalised and faith-based aspects of pro-migrant activities and explore the ways that politically and morally charged ambivalences of hospitality practices are articulated and negotiated. Moreover, by contextualising Turkey's religious and geopolitical particularity as a gatekeeper of Europe, we work with Derrida's concept of plural laws to investigate hospitality practices towards refugees in Istanbul. Civil actors' intentions and attempts to be good citizens, Muslims, and care providers expose the intimate aspects of hospitality - a segue into discourses of displaced subjects' (gendered) deservingness. By portraying how macro-micro, global-local and public-private relations condition hospitality practices, we observe how globalisation is lived intimately, influencing perceptions of deservingness and the prioritisation of displaced subjects' needs.

    Association of the Relationship Between Nutritional Status and Certain Biochemical Parameters in Obese Children
    (2021) Ozcelik-Ersu, Dilek; Kiziltan, Gul
    The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing globally. Adiposity is more concentrated in subcutaneous tissue in women and visceral fat tissue in men. Abdominal obesity is more commonly associated with metabolic diseases in men. The results showed that the mean BMIz scores of boys was higher than girls, but total body fat was lower than girls. Total body fat free mass, water and muscle mass were higher in boys than girls. It was determined that children aged 10-17 years consumed fatty and sugary snacks and sugary drinks at school. Food consumption containing the carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat and cholesterol were higher in boys than girls. As a result, it was thought that it would be more beneficial and reliable to use anthropometric methods showing body composition together with BMI zscore while evaluating body weight in adolescents. While nutritional counseling, it may be beneficial to consider that the energy and nutrient requirements of male adolescent individuals and their daily food consumption are higher than girls. When the results of the study are evaluated, we mention that it would be appropriate to evaluate girls more carefully in terms of iron deficiency anemia and diseases such as insulin resistance and diabetes.

    Alcohol- and Cigarette-Use-Related Behaviors Across Gender, Dysfunctional COVID-19 Anxiety, and the Presence of Probable ADHD During the Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Sample of Turkish Young Adults
    (2021) Evren, Cuneyt; Evren, Bilge; Dalbudak, Ercan; Topcu, Merve; Kutlu, Nilay
    Objective: The objective of the study is to evaluate the alcohol-and cigarette-use-related behaviors among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Turkey. The second objective was to evaluate whether the gender, dysfunctional COVID-19 anxiety, and presence of probable attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with the increase in alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking while controlling the effects of current age and diagnosis of anxiety disorder before the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The study was conducted with an online survey among volunteer participants of young adults. The Adult ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) were used to evaluate a group of university students. Results: A total of 1,042 respondents (mean age 26.9 +/- 10.9 years; 61.6% female) filled out the survey. Of these, 17.6% reported an increase and 7.7% reported reduced cigarette smoking, whereas 10.8% reported an increase and 8.5% reported reduced alcohol consumption during the pandemic. Both rates of increased cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption were higher among males and those with probable ADHD. In the logistic regression analyses, male gender, COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety, and presence of probable ADHD were related to the increase in alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, while the current age and diagnosis of anxiety disorder before the COVID-19 pandemic were not. Conclusion: Findings of the current study may suggest that the pandemic period is related to both anv increase and a reduction of alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. Males with probable ADHD and higher levels of COVID-19 related dysfunctional anxiety have a higher risk of increasing both alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking.
