Hamid Pourazari : faire du théâtre comme traverser les frontières sociales de la ville
Authors: Zamani Mohammadamin , Pourazari Hamid 
Published: February 2025

Sous la République islamique, la survivance du théâtre iranien a toujours été due aux tactiques développées par les artistes dans les brèches et les interstices de la stratégie de surveillance et de censure mise en place par le régime. L’oeuvre insolite du metteur en scène Hamid Pourazari, déployée dans des lieux non conventionnels, en dit long sur cette vie interstitielle et sur les compromis avec le pouvoir que celle-ci a toujours impliqués. Or, avec la révolution Femme, Vie, Liberté, toute entente avec le pouvoir devient impossible. Pourazari annonce alors la « fin du spectacle », soit la fin de la vie dans les interstices; le théâtre se produit désormais dans les rues.

Background: Trauma from previous experiences such as car accidents, robberies, knife attacks, wars, and other types of violence or witnessing the deaths could have exacerbated the experiences of the 2014-16 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Epidemic.
Objective: To study past trauma experiences among those West Africans who survived the 2014-16 EVD epidemic and now reside in Victoria - Australia.
Methods and Materials: A sequential exploratory mixed methods design utilised an online survey to collect quantitative and qualitative data that were followed by interviews. The quantitative survey adopted the Trauma History Screen tool and descriptive statistics. The qualitative interview followed thematic analysis using the five-phase model.
Results: Participants' age ranged between 18-40 years, 52% were females and 29/68 respondents were included in the analysis of traumatic experiences. Further,75% of respondents witnessed the sudden deaths of family and friends. They further, reported psychosocial symptoms including fear, stress, distress, depression, flashbacks, and altered sleep patterns in both infectious outbreaks.
Conclusion: This study provides data on previous experiences of traumatic events among EVD survivors that could have affected how they coped and dealt with the EVD epidemic. The psychosocial sequelae highlight the importance of continuous evaluation of the mental health of people with previous traumatic experiences. Findings from this study are useful in designing intervention programmes to mitigate these sequelae.

AbstractPurposeThis study assesses a novel, automated dose accumulation process during MR‐guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) for prostate cancer, focusing on inter‐fractional anatomical changes and discrepancies between delivered and planned doses.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on seven prostate cancer patients treated with a five‐fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), using a 0.35T MRIdian MR‐LINAC system. Daily plans were adapted when dose thresholds were exceeded. Planning MRI (pMRI) and daily MRIs (dMRIs) were imported into MIM software for automated and manual dose accumulation procedures. Rigid and deformable image registrations were followed by dose accumulation to compare delivered and planned doses. Manual and automated image registrations were compared by calculating the Hausdorff distance (HD), Jaccard, and DICE metrics.ResultsModerate discrepancies in dosimetric parameters for the planning target volume (PTV) were observed between auto‐accumulated and planned doses, such as and , with average differences of Gy and Gy, respectively. Volume differences of and indicated that auto‐accumulated doses consistently had lower numbers compared to planned doses, with mean discrepancies of and , respectively. Organs at risk (OAR) dosimetric parameters exhibited higher dose volumes in auto‐accumulated doses, with moderate differences (planned [cc] vs. auto‐accumulated [cc]) observed in parameters such as urethra PRV at , rectum at and rectum at . The comparison between manually and auto‐accumulated doses revealed negligible variations, as also indicated by strong concordance in geometric indices and t‐test p‐values above 0.7.ConclusionThe automated workflow, developed in collaboration with MIM Software Inc., demonstrates high accuracy compared to manual accumulation. The moderate differences observed between planned and accumulated doses emphasize the need for accurate dose accumulation for adaptive plans.

AbstractThe visualization of electrode reactions is significant for ultra sensitive detection. Traditional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection method can hardly visualize electrode reactions. Combining ECL imaging technology and traditional ECL detection methods can overcome the lack of visual feedback of key information in sensor construction. In contrast to cyclic voltammetry testing, applying a constant voltage to the electrode surface for ECL imaging results in a more stable signal. In this study, methionine‐stabilized gold nanoclusters (Met‐AuNCs) are used as efficient near‐infrared luminescent clusters, and triethylamine (TEA) as coreactants to construct an ECL imaging sensor for the detection of acetamiprid (ACT). The ternary heterojunction ZnS‐ZnIn2S4‐In2S3 (Z‐Z‐I) forms a stepwise electron transfer mode, facilitating the rapid generation of free radicals in TEA. Furthermore, Z‐Z‐I serves as a substrate, providing a large loading area for the DNA chain, which lays a foundation for the wide detection range. Such an ECL imaging sensor has a wide linear range (100 fm to 1 µm) and achieves a low detection limit (42 fM) for ACT detection. This study not only provides an efficient and accurate method for detecting ACT in agricultural products but also foretells the promising application of visual imaging technology in electrochemiluminescent sensors.

AbstractPrecise and continuous monitoring of blood pressure and cardiac function is of great importance for early diagnosis and timely treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The common tests rely on on‐site diagnosis and bulky equipments, hindering early diagnosis. The emerging hydrogels have gained considerable attention in skin bioelectronics by virtue of the similarities to biological tissues and versatility in mechanical, electrical, and biofunctional engineering. However, hydrogels should overcome intrinsic issues such as poor mechanical strength, easy dehydration and freezing, weak adhesiveness and self‐recovery, severely limiting their precision and reliability in practical applications. Here, silk fibroin hydrogels are developed as resistive sensors for pulse waveform monitoring. The silk fibroin hydrogel is simultaneously transparent, extremely stretchable, extra tough, adhesive, printable, and environmentally endurable. The silk fibroin hydrogel is also conductive with high sensitivity, short self‐healing time, highly repeatable and reliable response, meeting the requirements for wearable sensors for continuous monitoring. The sensors with silk fibroin hydrogel present high‐quality and stable waveforms of radical and brachial pulses with high precision and rich features, providing physiological signals of blood pressure and cardiac function. The sensors are promising for personalized health management, daily monitoring and timely diagnosis.

Published: December 2024

AbstractRibonucleoprotein (RNP)‐based CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing holds great potential for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which however, is challenged by the lack of efficient cytosolic protein delivery tools. Herein, reversibly‐phosphorylated pro‐proteins (P‐proteins) with conjugated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) tags are engineered and coupled with a membrane‐penetrating, guanidine‐enriched, α‐helical polypeptide (LGP) to mediate robust and universal cytosolic delivery. LGP forms salt‐stable nanocomplexes (NCs) with P‐proteins via electrostatic interaction and salt bridging, and the helix‐assisted, strong membrane activities of LGP enabled efficient cellular internalization and endolysosomal escape of NCs. Therefore, this approach allows efficient cytosolic delivery of a wide range of protein cargoes and maintains their bioactivities due to endolysosomal acidity‐triggered traceless restoration of P‐proteins. Notably, intravitreally delivered LGP/P‐RNP NCs targeting hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) induce pronounced gene disruption to downregulate pro‐angiogenic factors and alleviate subretinal fibrosis, ultimately provoking robust therapeutic efficacy in CNV mice. Such a facile and versatile platform provides a powerful tool for cytosolic protein delivery and genome editing, and it holds promising potential for the treatment of CNV‐associated diseases, such as age‐related macular degeneration.

Published: December 2024

AbstractFast‐charging lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) are essential for electric vehicles (EVs) to compete with conventional gasoline ones in terms of charging viability, yet the aggressive capacity drop in fast‐charging scenarios gives rise to concerns regarding durability and sustainability. Herein, it is clarified that for fast‐charging batteries, the excessive lithium (Li) plating on graphite anode inevitably brings capacity fading, and the concurrent accumulation of Li2O‐dominant passivation species that form dead Li is the main reason for their poor rechargeability. To refresh the passivated graphite, a voltage‐induced activation mechanism is developed to leverage bromide (Br−/Br3−) redox couple for Li2O and isolated Li0 activation in situ. Along with a tiny amount of lithium bromide (LiBr) added into the electrolyte, the cut‐off voltage of activation processes is controlled to initiate and maximize the effectiveness of Br−/Br3− redox couple. The capacity of degraded fast‐charging cells can increase from lower than 30 to ≈118 mAh g−1 before and after the activation, respectively. Notably, the process is not one‐off; a subsequent activation is feasible. For the same battery that suffered from another round of fast charging, this design still restores the reversible capacity to ≈100 mAh g−1. Such a voltage‐mediated mechanism can effectively prolong the service life of practical fast‐charging batteries.

AbstractLiquid exfoliation is a scalable and effective method for synthesizing 2D nanosheets (NSs) but often induces contamination and defects. Here, liquid metal gallium (Ga) is used to exfoliate bulk layered materials into 2D NSs at near room temperature, utilizing the liquid surface tension and Ga intercalation to disrupt Van der Waals (vdW) forces. In addition, the process can transform the 2H‐phase of transition metal dichalcogenides into the 1T’‐phase under ambient conditions. This method produces high aspect ratio, surfactant‐free 2D‐NSs for more than 10 types of 2D materials that include h‐BN, graphene, MoTe2, MoSe2, layered minerals, etc. The subsequent Ga separation via ethanol dispersion avoids the formation of additional defects and surfactant contamination. By adjusting initial defect levels of the layered materials, customize the metallicity and/or defectiveness of 2D NSs can be customized for applications such as birefringence‐tunable modulators with exfoliated h‐BN, and enhanced hydrogen evolution with defective MoS2. This approach offers a strategy to optimize liquid metal/2D interfaces, preserving intrinsic properties and enabling practical applications, potentially transforming optics, energy conversion, and beyond.

Herein, a convenient and novel strategy is reported to prepare oxygen rich hierarchical porous carbon derived from alginate by dual molten salt strategy using KHCO3 and NaHCO3 as activators. The obtained oxygen rich hierarchical porous carbon (OPC‐700) possesses a well‐developed interconnected porous skeleton, large specific surface area (1193.6 m2 g−1), and abundant oxygen functional groups. Owing to the co‐effect, the prepared electrode shows a specific capacity of 410.7 F g−1 and superior electrochemical stabilization. More importantly, the Zn// ZnSO4//OPC‐700 hybrid capacitor assembled with OPC‐700 as the cathode, zinc foil as the anode delivers an energy density of 124.5 Wh kg−1 and superior electrochemical stabilization in 2 m ZnSO4.

Published: December 2024

AbstractChronic wounds are prone to infections with multidrug‐resistant bacteria, forming polymicrobial biofilms that limit treatment options and increase the risk of severe complications. Current cleansing options are insufficient to disrupt and remove tenacious biofilms; antibiotic treatments, on the other hand, often fall short against these biofilm‐embedded bacteria. This study explores an non‐antibiotic approach that extends beyond conventional porphyrin‐based phototherapy by using blue light (BL) in conjunction with ferric ions (Fe(III)) to disrupt and eradicate biofilms. The dual not only degraded biofilm extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in mono‐species and polymicrobial biofilms by specifically targeting carboxyl‐containing polysaccharides within the matrix but also exhibited broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity by affecting key components of the outer membrane and cell wall. Bacteria, such as K. pneumoniae, with compromised EPS after photolysis, demonstrated increased susceptibility to macrophage phagocytosis. Disruption of the polymicrobial biofilm structure also enhanced the bacterial susceptibility to bactericidal drugs. Treating wounds infected by mixed‐species biofilm in diabetic mice demonstrated a substantial reduction in bacterial colonization and improved tissue repair. The BL‐Fe(III) modality offers a safe, efficient alternative for managing chronic wound infections, making it ideal for repeated, non‐invasive use at home, especially in resource‐limited areas.

Published: December 2024

AbstractTransition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) have emerged as a promising class of 2D materials that can be used for various applications. Recently, a new form of high‐entropy MXenes has been reported, which contains an increased number of elemental species that can increase the configurational entropy and reduce the Gibbs free energy. The unique structure and composition lead to a range of intriguing and tunable characteristics. Herein, the fabrication of high‐entropy MXene TiVNbMoC3Tx (T = surface terminations) with a layer of polydopamine is reported, followed by immobilization of a phthalocyanine‐based fluorophore for imaging and the peptide sequence QRHKPREGGGSC for targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed in cancer cells. The resulting nanocomposite exhibits high biocompatibility and superior photothermal property. Upon laser irradiation at 808 nm, the light‐to‐heat conversion efficiency is up to 56.1%, which is significantly higher than that of conventional 2D materials. In vitro studies show that these nanosheets could be internalized selectively into EGFR‐positive cancer cells and effectively eliminate these cells mainly through photothermal‐induced apoptosis. Using 4T1 tumor‐bearing mice as an animal model, the nanosheets could accumulate at the tumor and effectively eradicate the tumor upon laser irradiation without causing noticeable adverse effects to the mice.

Published: December 2024

AbstractMicroRNA (miRNA)‐based therapy holds significant potential; however, its structural limitations pose a challenge to the full exploitation of its biomedical functionality. Framework nucleic acids are promising owing to their transportability, biocompatibility, and functional editability. MiRNA‐125 is embedded into a nucleic acid framework to create an enzyme‐responsive nanoparachute (NP), enhancing the miRNA loading capacity while preserving the attributes of small‐scale framework nucleic acids and circumventing the uncertainty related to RNA exposure in conventional loading methods. An enzyme‐sensitive sequence is designed in NP as a bioswitchable apparatus for cargo miRNAs release. NP is compared with conventional delivery modes and delivery vehicles, confirming its excellent transportability and sustained release properties. Moreover, NP confers good enzyme and serum resistance to the cargo miRNAs. Simultaneously, it can easily deliver miRNA‐125 to liver and kidney lesions owing to its passive targeting properties. This allows for Keap1/Nrf2 pathway regulation and p53 protein targeting in the affected tissues. Additionally, NP negatively regulates the expression of Bax and Caspase‐3. These combined actions help to inhibit oxidation, prevent cell cycle arrest, and reduce the apoptosis of liver and kidney cells. Consequently, this strategy offers a potential treatment for acute liver and kidney injury.

Published: December 2024

AbstractSenescence occurs earlier in the immune system than in solid organs as age increases. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are among the first cells to exhibit signs of aging. However, whether advanced‐age pregnancy involves Treg cell aging remains unclear. This study demonstrated that the aging of women is accompanied by aging Treg cells and that PD‐1 regulates Treg cell aging. The transfer of young Treg cells can improve the pregnancy outcomes of reproductive‐aged mice by reducing the level of IFN‐γ, a proinflammatory cytokine secreted by Treg cells in aged mice. Transferring α‐PD‐1 mAb‐treated aged Treg cells increases the level of IL‐10, an anti‐inflammatory cytokine secreted by Treg cells in reproductive‐aged mice. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes in older women.

AbstractLi‐ion battery degradation processes are multi‐scale, heterogeneous, dynamic, and depend on the battery usage. Degradation mechanisms during overcharge of LiNiO2 are well known at the material level featuring O2 gas release and concomitant surface reconstruction of LiNiO2. However, there are still debates regarding the role of the high voltage phase formation, so called O1, on gas production. Moreover, little information is available on the effect of produced gases on the cell components (anode or sensors), or the effect of overcharge on electrode level behavior. In this work, we simultaneously measure the gas evolution using operando mass spectrometry while spatially resolving nanostructure and crystallographic lattice parameter changes using operando micro small/wide angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) mapping during the formation and overcharge of a LiNiO2/Graphite─Silicon pouch cell. This new correlated operando characterization experiment allowed to (1) confirm the absence of O1 phase even with substantial gas produced at end of charge, (2) unveil the effect of gases on reference electrode and (3) show that overcharge increases in‐plane reaction heterogeneities by creating local degraded regions lagging behind the ensemble electrochemistry. These findings will be important to optimize ageing of devices based on similar chemistries, in particular Ni‐rich cathodes, while showing the strength of correlated characterization leading to more efficient and robust information on complex mechanisms.

Published: December 2024

AbstractA comprehensive study of excitonic properties of 2D layered perovskites is provided, with an emphasis on understanding and controlling the exciton fine structure. First, an overview of the optical properties is presented, discussing the challenges in determining the bandgap and exciton binding energies. Through magneto‐optical spectroscopic measurements (up to B = 140 T), scaling laws are established for exciton binding energy as a function of the band gap and the diamagnetic coefficient. Using an in‐plane magnetic field, the exciton fine structure for various 2D perovskites is examined to measure the energy splitting between the excitonic levels. The exciton fine structure and exchange interaction are correlated with structural parameters, employing an effective mass model, to highlight the role of steric effect on the exchange interaction. These findings reveal that lattice distortions, introduced by organic spacers, significantly influence the exchange interaction, driving a tunable energy spacing between dark and bright excitons. This unique feature of 2D perovskites, not present in other semiconductors, offers a novel tuning mechanism for exciton control, making these materials highly promising for efficient light emitters and advanced quantum technologies.
