Reproducing Colonial Ideologies in Decolonization
Authors: O'Connor Katie
Published: July 2022

Though James Cameron’s 2009 box office sensation Avatar overtly criticizes colonial capitalism, its conventional masculinist narrative reproduces ideologies that support colonialism. This essay analyzes the film using several post-colonial theorists to display its inability to engage in anti-colonial critique. In doing so, I outline the importance of considering the complexity of gender in literature that addresses colonial violence. Building upon the work of other scholars who have examined representations of gender in Avatar, this paper specifically addresses the masculinity of the protagonist, Jake Sully. Initially, I employ the work of Edward Said and Ann Laura Stoler to consider how the film reinscribes a stereotypical gender binary in its depiction of colonial contact between the humans and the Na’vi, thereby negating the intricate relationship between gender and colonialism. The paper then shifts to focus on the anti-colonial efforts of the Na’vi led by Jake in his Avatar body. Frantz Fanon and others assist in defining Avatar’s problematic appropriation of decolonization into Jake’s masculinity complex. This analysis determines that for creative works to consider colonial violence without contributing to it, they must avoid replicating dominating masculinity tropes formed within the contexts of colonialism.
Diseuse's Performativity
Authors: Klics Zane
Published: July 2022

Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s postmodern autobiographical text Dictee follows the profoundly displaced narrating diseuse – a student of dictation and daughter of a Korean exile. Her unfaithful and often disrupted re-narration – through dictation – of the multiple subjectifications faced by herself, her mother, and Korea, emerges as Dictee’s master-motif, marshaling the motifs of resistance to subjectification and motherhood. By situating the text in theoretical conversations on subjectification, the metaphysics of presence, and performativity, I argue that in her dictation, the diseuse performatively animates memories of – and reunites her mother with – a multiply transformed and divided Korea.
Holiness and Horror: The Gendered Spectacle of Romantic Sleepwalking
Authors: Samson Emily
Published: July 2022

Approaching the turn of the nineteenth century, somnambulism took various forms on the European stage as a morbidly fascinating window into the subconscious. Franz Mesmer's somewhat divisive theory of animal magnetism, or "mesmerism," was nevertheless taking hold in medical circles, and its often-female subjects were mirrored through portrayals of vulnerable sleepwalking heroines on the stage. But where there was vulnerability, there was also sublimity– more elevated manifestations of sleepwalking also emerged here, such as in the allegedly subconscious composition of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Kubla Khan" (1797; 1816) and the divine, genderless power attributed to Joan of Arc in Friedrich Schiller's play Die Jungfrau von Orleans (1801). These and other portrayals of Romantic somnambulism provide a glimpse into the gendered subconscious as understood in the dramatic landscapes of late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century Europe. Ultimately, this research aims to uncover who is victimized and who is exalted by these somnambulistic states, and to unblur the lines between gendered presuppositions and medical realities.
Alcoholism in Communist Poland: How Regime and Alcohol Interact
Authors: Williams Emily
Published: July 2022

In communist Poland, while the state took care of the basic needs of its people, there was a widespread social issue plaguing society: alcoholism. Alcoholism was an increasing issue from the period of destalinization, to the Solidarity movement and over time, sobriety became symbol of resistance under a regime which relied on the vodka industry as the most important source of domestic revenue. By analyzing the high levels of consumption, the consequences, and the response from the state, church, and union, I analyze the political nature of alcoholism in Poland. To highlight the role ideology played, I also compare the social responses and methods of treatment in state socialism, to those in Western democratic countries. From this, an image begins to emerge of how alcoholism interacted with regime and feelings of mass disenchantment. While it is yet to be seen if communist regimes directly impacted people’s drinking habits, the Polish communist government certainly allowed the health and wellness of its citizens to come second. Further research into the dynamics of alcoholism in other Eastern European communist countries such as Hungary and Czechoslovakia could further develop understanding this complicated relationship between alcohol and communism. This topic of study remains important as the intergenerational dynamics for the families who lived under this system remain; looking at alcoholism under this regime can help us understaind these ongoing social relations.
Decriminalizing Sex Work: How The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act Harms Consensual Sex Workers and Creates Further Stigmatization in Society
Authors: Konnik Mariska
Published: July 2022

This paper will explore the current legislation in place in Canada regarding sex work, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA), and how it harms and stigmatizes those engaging in consensual sex work. The PCEPA was established as a response to the decision made in Bedford v. Canada in that the previous provisions governing sex work were unconstitutional. The intention of this Act is to criminalize the payment of sexual services, the procurement of sexual services and third party advertising of sexual services. Its main goal was to reduce the human trafficking that often occurs within the sex work environment. While human trafficking is undeniably an issue in today’s society, the PCEPA fails to acknowledge other perspectives of individuals that it is impacting including those choosing to engage in sex work. Throughout this paper, topics such as the harms the PCEPA has had on sex work, the stigmatization and discourses that exist around sex work, and what decriminalization of sex work would look like will be explored and deconstructed. This paper will argue that a move towards decriminalization of sex work will be beneficial for those engaging in sex work and reduce the harms and stigmatization that many sex workers face and that finding a balance between combating human trafficking and protecting consensual sex workers is essential.
Regency Possessed
Authors: Cameron Teagan
Published: July 2022

During the French Fronde of 1648-52, the absolute monarchy of France came under attack both by weapons and by words.  A relaxation in censorship laws during the four-year period of unrest led to the production of thousands of pamphlets, known as Mazarinades, which discussed the nature of the French monarchy and of power.  Although most focussed on the Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, a subset also considered the role of the Queen Dowager and Regent, Anne of Austria.  Factions both for and against the monarchy expressed a fear of her public role in government: as a female ruler, they worried that Anne would be too passionate and gullible to be able to govern fairly.  Pamphleteers presented her as a disordering figure, one who turned the natural social hierarchies of the early modern era upside down. To some, she was a puppet for Mazarin, who they believed seduced her; to others, by acting as regent she neglected her quintessentially feminine maternal roles.  All agreed that Anne was unsuitable as regent.  Using a variety of literary techniques, Mazarinade authors ultimately demanded that she resign, pleading with Anne to return to the private, domestic world of women.
Neoliberal Canada’s Failures to Address Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Simoneau Reese
Published: July 2022

Mental health has been a widely discussed topic throughout the pandemic as a result of lockdowns and other COVID-19 measures. Widening cracks in Canadians' mental health during the pandemic demonstrate that Canada has long had a largely inaccessible mental health care system, showcasing Canada's lacking adequate public coverage, which was especially detrimental to Canadians during the pandemic. This paper discusses the need for comprehensive mental health coverage, among other transformations, as part of Canada’s public health system, specifically drawing on mental health research from Canada’s experience with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this paper highlights the difficulty in instating mental health coverage in Canada, even during COVID, due to a backslide to residualism and a refusal to expand the welfare system under Canada’s neoliberal leadership and governmental value system.
Individualized Community-Led Drinking Water Supply Projects in Rural Nepal
Authors: Longworth Brianna
Published: July 2022

Despite access to water being a human right upheld by the United Nations, many residents in Nepal have limited access to safe drinking water due to factors including insufficient government assistance, the country’s mountainous topography, and devastating natural disasters. This paper examines the differences in effectiveness and sustainability in clean drinking water supply (DWS) systems in rural areas of the country that are either provided by the government or by local and international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). I argue that drinking water supply projects that are conducted using an individualized community-led methodology by international and local NGOs working in partnership are more effective and sustainable than generalized methodologies often employed by the government, and positively contribute to other areas of development including gender equality. To do this, I look specifically at the approaches taken by the NGOs Nepal Water for Health (NEWAH) and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in providing drinking water supply systems to rural communities in Nepal. Critically examining the outcomes of the differing methodologies that are employed to provide access to clean drinking water in this context is important in facilitating the achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal of safe and affordable drinking water for all.
The Gendered Consequences
Authors: Isaac Abigail
Published: July 2022

This policy paper explores the gendered vulnerabilities of migrants seeking refuge from unlivable conditions in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala (Northern Triangle Countries), who are forced to the U.S.-Mexico border and stranded in border camps strung along U.S. entry ports. In particular, it examines the impacts of four immigration and border policies initiated by the Trump administration, and details the compounded risks of violence faced by displaced women and gender-diverse communities while traveling to the border and in border encampments. Migrants seeking asylum experience a range of physical and psychosocial trauma, and their safety is contingent on the varying stakeholder positions of the American and Mexican governments, transnational non-governmental organizations, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In evaluating the barriers to accessing basic resources and legal support faced by marginalized communities at the border, I argue that conditions in-camp require gender-sensitive humanitarian interventions from the UNHCR as mandated by its ethical and legal obligation to protect the rights of asylum-seekers. Following my analysis of the gendered vulnerabilities in border encampments and their historical roots,  I then propose three potential policy choice sets to address the increasing urgency of the crisis.
Educating the Electorate
Authors: Jones Emma
Published: July 2022

Social Studies education is politicized, powerful, and highly contentious. Scholars have long debated about the content of Social Studies curricula, interest groups have historically tried to influence its material, and in recent years headlines have highlighted controversial subjects like Critical Race Theory and Indigenous reconciliation. This paper argues that it is impossible to teach a neutral Social Studies curriculum, and so it is essential that educators are mindful of the impact their content will have on young minds and future citizens of their society. 

 

This paper first breaks down Canadian Social Studies curricula into their two main components: history and citizenship. The paper then provides an examination of how various models of citizenship impact the way history is taught, and demonstrates the impact those models of citizenship have on how students feel about their society and the role they play within it. These models have implications for not only the content of classrooms but for the future of democracy itself.
Re-Interpreting Law
Authors: Chand Navneet
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the outcome of the Canadian legal case of Restoule v. Canada in the Ontario Court of Appeal, which has decided that the Canadian state must determine how it can best meet its constitutional obligations of adequate treaty annuity payments to the Anishinaabe Nation, and how allows for there to be a reconsideration of the relation between the Canadian legal system and Indigenous legal traditions. By examining the efficacy and saliency of various Indigenous legal traditions through the contextual scope of Restoule v. Canada, this paper extends an objective for the Canadian legal system to improve its connection to legitimizing diverse Indigenous legal traditions to better adjudicate the legal cases of Indigenous peoples. The four salient dimensions of Indigenous legal traditions I will explore are: Gitksan conflict management, Haudenosaunee deliberative law, Hul’qumi’num Mustimuhw kinship and land relations, and Mi’kmaw customary law.
“Dangerous conceits”: Racial Bodies and Microaggression in Shakespeare’s Othello
Authors: Stewart Jonna
Published: July 2022

Many scholars read Othello, written during England's entrance onto the global stage as a colonial power, as Shakespeare’s reflection upon the increasingly diverse population of England and the rise of a modern conception of race and racism. While conceptions of race and racism shift with culture, Othello is positioned at the inception of racism and systems of oppression that are still at work today. Similarly, subtle racial slights towards Othello mirror what Professor Chester Pierce first termed as microaggressions. Drawing on Kevin Nadal's clinical research and the poetry of Claudia Rankine that details the bodily experience of microaggressions, I argue that the barrage of subtle and explicit racism that Othello experiences provides context for what at first appears to be an unbelievably quick turn against Desdemona. Othello’s tragic demise, rather than resulting from an individual character flaw, demonstrates the devastating and accumulated impact of microaggressions on racialized bodies and their collective function within a system of oppression.
The Aims of National Management of King Sukjong through the Poems Inspired by Paintings
Authors:   The Korean Society of History of Historiography, Jeong Eun-joo
Published: July 2022

This paper analyzed the loyalty to Ming and the management style to run the country of King Sukjong pursued in the poem written by himself, during his reign. It tried to analyzed that the multi-layered meaning of pome written by King Sukjong of the paintings by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the portraits of loyalists representing the allegiance, and the maps and astronomical maps from the following three aspects.
First, Daebodan Altar was built as a strategy for the king to monopolize ritual control over the Ming emperor in relation to the construction of the Mandongmyo Shrine by Song Si-yeol's followers, in terms of emphasizing the justification for loyalty to Ming based on the revenge against the Qing Dynasty during King Sukjong’s reign. At the same time, there was a strong tendency to cherish the paintings and calligraphies of the Ming emperor and to write poem to memory for their works. In addition, during the Japanese Invasion of Korea, the belief in Guanwoo helped the generals of the Ming Dynasty expanded and the Gwanwangmyo Shrine built in Joseon with the financial support of the emperor Shinjong became an important medium for reminding the fact that the Ming Dynasty re-establish Joseon. King Sukjong wrote poems inspired by the paintings of Guanwang with the hope that he will protect Joseon.
Second, the main topics of national affairs were reviewed, such as the pursuit of the royal statesmanship through the lessonary historical pictures, the acceptance of loyal advice, and the establishment of the right people for the contury. King Sukjong revealed the ways to rule the country through the painting of a boat floating on a very big ocean, Jusudo in 1675 that he liked learning, accepted loyal advice, and valued the right men. A few of poems by King Sukjong were left on paintings depicting the activities of Zhuge Liang and Akbi, who were enshrined together as a model of loyalty at Muhusa Temple in Yeongyu-hyeon.
Third, King Sukjong left the poems while appreciating maps and astronomical maps, the main symbols of rule. First of all, looking at the Dongguk Map, he declared that Joseon was a small country but if it was ruled by virtue, it would be as good as China. He saw the astronomical map, which are the main means of governing, along with the map, and maintained the position that if a King cultivate virtue, his country will reach a happy occasion and if a King neglect, disaster will occur.
A Description of Jeong Gae-cheong by Heo Mok and Nam-in's Perception of the Literati Purge of 1589
Authors:   The Korean Society of History of Historiography, LEE Sun-Ah
Published: July 2022

Sarim(士林), who entered the central government during the reign of King Seongjong, aimed for politics based on Confucian ethics. During the reign of King Seonjo, Sarim was divided into conflicts over the liquidation of the politics of the Cheokshin(戚臣), and the voice of Sarim, who demanded the liquidation of the politics of the Cheokshin, grew louder.
Seo-in tried to break the political situation led by Dong-in by maintaining a friendly attitude toward the Cheokshin. On the other hand, the Dong-in confronted the Seo-in, insisting on the liquidation of the politics of the Cheokshin.
Jeong Yeo-lip's rebellion occurred in the confrontation between the Dong-in and the Seo-in. Although Honam's Dong-in was politically destroyed by Gichukoksa(己丑獄事), Nam-in, who was separated from the Dong-in, promoted the identity of the Dong-in who was killed unfairly.
In particular, Heo Mok emphasized that he was politically victimized by writing 「Sebyeon(世變)」 to restore the honor of Jeong Gae-cheong and Choi Young-kyung. Futhermore, Heo Mok clearly revealed recognition of Gichukoksa by placing alongside Jo Gwang-jo of Gimyosahwa(己卯士禍).
These interests and efforts of Heo Mok influenced the Honam family, including Naju. In 1690, A Confucian academy was established in Naju to orient Heo Mok. Since then, Michon seowon in Naju became the stronghold of Nam-in. Nam-in, who was appointed near Naju, visited Michon seowon and tried to print a collection of Heo Mok's writings. Jeong Jae-won, Jeong Yak-yong's father, was also appointed as Hwasun County's governor and actively participated in the management of Micheon Seowon. In the process of discussing the reconstruction of Michon seowon, Nam-in, including Jeong Jae-won, wanted to keep a collection of Heo Mok's writings.
Heo Mok's assessment of Gichukoksa is expected to become more widely known through his writings. Thus, the perception of Nam-in who wanted to reevaluate Gichukoksa as ‘Gichuksahwa(己丑士禍)’was reflected in Jeong Yak-yong's 『Dongnamsosa(東南小史)』 and Hwang Deok-gil's 『Joyasinpi(朝野信筆)』.

One of the sciences used in digital security systems is cryptography. Cryptography is closely related to the integer system, especially prime numbers. Prime numbers themselves have been abstracted a lot. One form of abstraction of prime numbers is the prime ideal. Previous studies have proven that an Ideal is said to be a prime ideal on  if and only if I is constructed by a prime element. Other studies have also shown how the prime ideal develops. One of them is the research result of Dauns, where the prime ideal form is developed in the form of a prime submodule. A prime submodule is one of the objects in the module, which is an abstraction of prime numbers. Based on these things, it is exciting if the properties of the prime submodule are applied to other module forms, one of which is the integer module.

Cervical cancer radiotherapy on the Linac aircraft uses a 6 MV energy photon beam with 3 Dimension Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) and Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT) techniques. Radiotherapy planning on the 3DCRT and IMRT techniques is then compared by analyzing the dose distribution or planning target volume (PTV) coverage through the Conformity Index (CI) and Homogeneity Index (HI) and Organ At Risk (OAR) where the risk organ that is considered is the rectum. In this study, 30 data on cervical cancer patients were used at the Radiotherapy Installation at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar with a plan using a box system on the 3DCRT technique and the IMRT technique with rotation angles of 00, 900, 1800, and 2700 and a radiation dose of 5000 cGy. Comparison of these two techniques is done by analyzing the Dose Volume Histogram (DVH) curve on PTV coverage on the Treatment Planning System (TPS) computer. The results of this study indicate that the average CI value in the 3DCRT technique is 1.017542 while the IMRT technique is 1.019668, with the Mann Whitney test (Asymp.Sig = 0.492). Likewise, the HI value, where the 3DCRT technique averaged 0.089494 while the IMRT technique was 0.093126 with Mann Whitney test (Asymp.Sig = 0.487), both CI and HI values were not significant. While the percentage of the average dose of the rectum on both the 3DCRT and IMRT irradiation techniques are 96% and 87%, respectively. Cervical cancer radiotherapy using IMRT technique can minimize the absorbed dose in OAR (rectum).

Morals are very important, so Allah SWT sent his messenger to fix it. Morals, attitude and character positive are life skills. Life skills cannot be taught, they should be transmitted, so a model is needed to be imitated. Scientific phenomena have the potential to be a model. Nature saves a lot of messages from Allah SWT which, if digested, becomes knowledge. One of the scientific phenomena in nature that can be used as knowledge and improve life skills are butterflies and magnets. Literature study is used to analyze scientific phenomena from several aspects, namely 1) religion based on Al-Quran and Hadith, 2) scientific concepts of phenomena found in nature, 3) application in life, and 4) integration in life skills. Butterflies can be a model of the importance of self-control to be good and not give up quickly in the face of difficulties and the belief that with difficulties there is ease. Magnets become a model of unity, rhythm, agreement, strength will be achieved. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the creation of Allah SWT in nature in the form of scientific phenomena can be a model for improving life skills.

Basic literacy is one of the competencies that must be possessed by 21st century students. The basic literacy of students is still relatively low, so the government makes various efforts to improve literacy, one of which is through the Independent Learning-Independent Campus (MBKM) policy, namely the Teaching Campus. The purpose of this study was to improve 5 aspects of student literacy at SMP Negeri 19 Mataram through the Teaching Campus Program Batch 2 in 2021. The aspects studied consisted of literacy, numerization, science, digital, and culture and citizenship. Each aspect of literacy has certain indicators. The research was carried out from August to December 2021 with a total of 20 students. The assessment of each indicator for each aspect of literacy uses a scale of 4, and is converted in percentage form with ratings of Less (K), Enough (C), Good (B), and Very Good (A). The increase in literacy scores was calculated using N-gain with three criteria, namely Low, Medium, and High. The results showed that the lowest literacy aspect was digital literacy while the highest literacy was scientific literacy. The average literacy value during the initial assessment was 51.6 with a rating of Less (K), while at the final assessment it was 82.0 with a rating of Good (B). The N-gain value was obtained at 63.1 which was in the Medium criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the Teaching Campus Program Batch 2 in 2021 has improved 5 aspects of student literacy at SMP Negeri 19 Mataram.

This study aims to create a tool that can explain the event of the photoelectric effect on a laboratory scale. So that the existence of a tool that can explain the photoelectric effect will make it easier for users to study the nature of light as a particle. This tool is designed according to its function which will find out that the photoelectric effect event is not influenced by light intensity but is influenced by the frequency of a light source and the wavelength that illuminates a metal so that electrons will move from a negative source towards a positive voltage source. In the manufacture of these tools, a photodiode is used as a light sensor where when the photodiode is illuminated by light it will cause electrons to move from the cathode to the anode and make an electric current flow. To determine the stopping voltage, a voltage is applied to the cathode where the electrons are ejected. This stopping voltage for each wavelength is different. From the ongoing data retrieval, a graphic relationship is obtained between the ADC value and the Sensor Output Voltage. Thus, it can be concluded that, First, the voltage applied to the photodiode (cathode) is different for each color spectrum. Second, the output voltage obtained for each different wavelength, the less light intensity received by the photodiode, the smaller the output voltage value. The amount of output voltage for each LED color is different because the wavelength of each color is also different so the value is not the same.

Global competitiveness has become just as crucial in the rapidly growing world economy. For this reason, the problem of delivering the products to the consumer at the right place and time has become indispensable to survive in the global market and has brought the logistics factor to the fore. One of these logistics activities, the transportation sector, ensures that human needs are met at the desired place and on time. It has become essential to deliver products to target markets faster and safer than their competitors, and airplanes have been used in cargo and passenger transportation. The rapid technological change has also led to aircraft development used in cargo transportation. Thus, air cargo transportation, which is less risky and faster than other transportation modes, has come to the fore in time-bound and valuable goods. The main purpose of this study, which is carried out with the qualitative research method, is to determine and evaluate the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness. In the study, firstly, the concept of air cargo transportation tried to be explained. Then, the literature review created the background of the study. In this context, the development process of air cargo transportation was discussed in terms of its historical, corporate, and economic development. Then, the types of aircraft used, airports, and cargo companies operating on a global scale, which are the elements of air cargo transportation, were examined. In addition to the high capacity and fuel efficiency produced by the current technology of the aircraft, the issue of further reduction of costs due to capacity increase by optimizing the loading problem has been mentioned. Finally, by analyzing the findings, the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness were discussed and evaluated, and suggestions were made to increase this power. This article, which is a direct study on the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness, is crucial as it will contribute to the literature.
Can A Green Business Strategy Be An Alternative to the Success of the Airport Environmental Management System?
Authors: ŞEN Gülaçtı
Published: July 2022

Environmental problems, which continue to exist as a global threat in the world, have recently been frequently discussed both in the media and in academic. It is obvious that enterprises in different sectors in the business world cannot ignore environmental problems. One of the most important of these sectors is the aviation sector. In the sector, there are harmful effects on air, water, soil pollution, natural life and wildlife, especially noise pollution. With the establishment of airports and the start of aviation activities in the sector, it is suggested that construction works, increase in waste, development of industrialization around the airport, rapid consumption of energy resources, growth of residential areas, increase in population should be brought under control with 'Environmental Management System' practices. A green business strategy is being researched in order to successfully manage the environmental management practices applied at airports around the world and to spread environmental awareness throughout the enterprise. Green business strategy refers to the tendency of all business units to integrate environmental issues into business strategy. In this work you can stop the environmental degradation and even the environment etc. As a result of these factors, environmental pollution also increases. Today, the green business strategy is being researched as a phenomenon that can contribute to the successful management of environmental management systems in order to control the environmental pollution effect resulting from the activities at the airports. From this point of view, whether the green business strategy will be an alternative to the success of the airport environmental management system is discussed with the conceptual-theoretical application method.

Aim: Thiol/disulfide homeostasis is an indicator of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is an important marker for both oxidative stress and ischemia. We aimed to evaluate the possible effects of regularly performed moderate-intensity exercise on thiol/disulfide homeostasis, and IMA levels.Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were used. The study was composed of an Exercise group (EG, n=9) and Control group (CG, n=6). A 10-weeks swimming exercise was performed. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis measurement method was used in this study. IMA levels were measured by a cobalt-albumin binding method.Results: In the EG, total thiol levels were significantly higher compared to the CG (p<0.01). The disulfide/total thiol ratio was lower in the EG compared to the CG (p<0.01). We observed that there was a slight increase in IMA levels in EG (p=0.18). This increase was not statistically significant.Conclusion: Regularly performed moderate-intensity exercise has increased native and total thiol levels. Increase of thiol levels can prevent oxidative stress. Regularly performed moderate-intensity exercise programs appear to provide favourable effects on oxidative stress.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset disorder that affects 5% to 12% of children worldwide. Etiological factors, including nutrition, contribute to this disease, which is characterized by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity symptoms. Fats, which form an important part of the daily diet, can have effects on ADHD and its symptoms. In the literature, it is stated that omega-3 fatty acids are low in children with ADHD, and supplementation studies may be effective in improving symptoms. In addition, high omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids ratio in the diet and diets rich in saturated and trans fatty acids are associated with ADHD. In this review, the relationship between ADHD and dietary fatty acids was evaluated.

Aim: To demonstrate the superiority of laparoscopic undescended testicular surgery for non-palpable testicles in children in diagnosis and treatment.Methods: The files of patients between the age of 6 months and 18 years who underwent laparoscopic undescended testis investigation due to non-palpable testis in our clinic, between January 2010 and September 2021, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with palpable testicles and patients with disorders of sex development in the examination performed under general anaesthesia were excluded from the study.Results: Fifty-three patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients is 3.2 years (min: 8 months-max 17 years). Laparoscopic intervention was performed for a total of 59 non-palpable testicles which were left-sided in 54.7% (n=29) of the patients, right-sided in 34% (n=18), and bilateral in 11.3% (n=6). Throughout these 59 testicles, cords and vessels of 31 testicles were visualized entering the inguinal canal, atrophic testes in the abdomen were detected in 7 patients, the cord and vessels had an intraabdominal blind ending (vanishing testis) in 7 patients, and 14 testicles were in the abdomen with normal aspect.Conclusion: Simultaneous laparoscopic orchiectomy is performed in case of atrophic testis in laparoscopic exploration for non-palpable testicles. It allows the ligation of vessels of testes farther than 2 cm away from the inguinal canal, and for testes that are closer than 2 cm it grants the vessels to be released under a more precise vision thereby protecting from the complications of conventional surgery.
