    Beautiful, Sexy, and Happy Celebrities: Perfect Mothers or Instamoms
    (Bridgewater State College, 2023) Güzel, E.
    The development of information technologies and the Internet has created an enormous economy. In line with this digital transformation, cultural change has come about. Global companies create new trends focused on vanity and pleasure in social media that follow the patriarchal capitalist ideology. Motherhood has also been included in this process, and “perfect motherhood,” as an extension to new generation motherhood, has been popularized on social media. Perfect motherhood requires mothers who are responsible for looking after children and the home to also be successful in their professional and personal lives while looking beautiful, young, chic, sexy, and fit. Recently the celebrification of motherhood, which can be seen on Instagram, became another quality added to the requirements of being a perfect mother. Heightened during the new post-COVID times, the “Instamom” phenomenon conceals the fact that women are driven to more states of increased precarity and vulnerability, alongside unemployment, exploitation, and ecological and economic crises. This study analyzes the perfect motherhood myth through Instamom case studies and attempts to show how Instamoms are perceived by mothers and mothers-to-be. By adopting the digital ethnography method, 30 Instamom accounts (with followers ranging from 135,000 to 3.5 million) in Turkey were observed for a year via passive participant observations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Instamoms and 12 follower mothers and mothers-to-be. In conclusion, it was discovered that Instamoms were perceived by their followers as exemplars of knowledge and beauty. Furthermore, the study revealed that both groups were part of the celebrification and branding process, and those who shared knowledge based on experience were considered sincere and created a bigger impression on their followers. It was also discovered that when sharing on social media, these Instamoms attempted to look their best. Moreover, Instamom accounts that prominently use children to increase viewer interaction demonstrate issues related to the “commercialization of childhood.” Tangible advice for transformative change is included at the end of the research. © 2022 Journal of International Women’s Studies.

    (Ibn Sina Trust, 2023) Koc, Sumeyye; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Ekinci, Ozalp; Kanik, Arzu; Gultekin, Fatih
    Objective: Due to their prone to obesity and unbalanced nutrient intake this study was carried out to evaluate the daily energy and nutrient intake and obesity status of children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 390 children (169 ADHD and 221 control groups) between the ages of 6-17 years. Body weight and height were measured and height-for-age-z-score (HAZ), weight-for-age-z-score (WAZ) and BMI-z-score (BMIZ) were calculated. 24-hour dietary recalls of the participants were recorded, and energy and nutrients intake were analysed. The ratio of meeting daily energy and nutrients adequacy according to age and gender was calculated. Results: The HAZ values of the children with a mean age of 10 +/- 2 years were within the normal range in most of both groups. The ratio of overweight-obese children was 43.8% in the ADHD group and 39.8% in the control group, respectively. The ratio of energy from fat was high in both groups (ADHD: 39%, control: 41%) (p <0.05). It was found that folic acid and thiamine were sufficient in both groups, pyridoxine was consumed in borderline excess, other vitamins were consumed in excess. All minerals except sodium were sufficient and sodium was consumed more. Folic acid and water consumption were found to be less in children with ADHD (p <0.05). Conclusion: Overweight and obese rates are common among children and adolescents with ADHD, and their eating habits are similar to those of their healthy peers.
