Designers et pratiques d’observation. La notation photographique à l’épreuve de la publication (via et au‑delà d’Instagram)
Authors: Geel Catherine 
Published: October 2024

Le designer, comme l’artiste ou le scientifique, est formé à une pratique : celle du carnet de notes, où il est possible de recenser à base de brèves annotations les éléments de son environnement qu’il remarque. À l’autre extrémité de la chaîne, des images, dont il n’est pas nécessairement l’auteur, assureront la diffusion du projet abouti et seront disséminées le plus largement possible. Dès le XIXe siècle, la pratique photographique est venue progressivement enrichir ces deux étapes. Aujourd’hui les designers sont de grands utilisateurs du réseau de partage de photo et de vidéos Instagram. Si la pratique photographique à la volée, le snapshot, et l’enregistrement sont facilités, sans surprise, par le développement des techniques numériques, il convient de remarquer que la publication massive de ces images sur un réseau comme Instagram change peut-être le statut et certains paramètres des réalisations de leurs images par les designers. Ce sont ces points, décrivant un certain rapport des designers aux images d’observations qu’ils réalisaient « pour eux-mêmes » et qu’ils rendent aujourd’hui publiques, que nous interrogerons jusqu’à leur éditorialisation et leur publication.
Un langage pour le design. La « folie photographique » de Charles et Ray Eames
Authors: Midal Alexandra 
Published: October 2024

À partir des années 1950, la passion de Charles Eames, qualifiée par son ami le cinéaste Billy Wilder de « folie photographique », croît exponentiellement pour atteindre une production de plus de 750 000 négatifs, désormais conservés à la Library of Congress. La photographie de Charles et Ray Eames s’avère centrale à leur pratique de designers (cadrage, vision, valeur de plans, rythme, etc.) et leurs prises de vue constituent les éléments d’une grammaire visuelle se substituant peu à peu au langage. Plus encore, les Awareness Shows, du nom de leur production multimédia, délivrent aussi une surprise ; au fil des années, face aux injonctions de rentabilité du marché, qui sacrifient la qualité d’un design accessible, et surtout face à l’échec du design industriel à engager une réforme sociale, les Eames opèrent un déplacement du design de produit vers le design d’information et du marché vers les institutions muséales.
Changement de perspective. La photographie comme pratique productive dans les processus de conception architecturale
Authors: Liptau Ralf 
Published: October 2024

L’article s’intéresse au potentiel productif de la photographie dans les processus de conception architecturale des années 1950. Comment la photographie, qui a vocation, pour l’essentiel, de reproduire et de témoigner, déploie-t-elle un potentiel créatif propre dans le processus de la conception à l’ère prédigitale, contribuant ainsi à créer quelque chose de nouveau ? Des fonds d’archives photographiques provenant d’Allemagne constituent la base matérielle de cet essai. Leur analyse part de la thèse selon laquelle il convient d’étudier les « lacunes » entre l’image et l’objet représenté pour être en mesure d’interroger la photographie en tant que médium et pratique de conception. Quatre notions définissant des « compétences » permettant d’appréhender la photographie seront développées et proposées : aplatir, isoler, pérenniser et ébaucher – des notions grâce auxquelles il est possible de saisir sa contribution réelle à la pratique architecturale.
« Point-shoot-share, instantly ». L’invention de la photographie partagée. Entretien avec Philippe Kahn
Authors: Kahn Philippe , Chéroux Clément , Lehtinen Linde B. , Katz Sally Martin 
Published: October 2024

L’inventeur et entrepreneur français Philippe Kahn, aujourd’hui installé dans la Silicon Valley, est reconnu pour avoir mis au point le premier système de partage instantané d’images par téléphone portable. Le 11 juin 1997, jour de la naissance de sa fille Sophie, il la photographie avec son appareil numérique. L’image est ensuite téléchargée sur son ordinateur portable puis associée à un message écrit. L’ensemble est transféré depuis la clinique à l’aide d’un téléphone cellulaire vers un ordinateur situé chez lui qui envoie ensuite des notifications aux 2 000 contacts de son carnet d’adresses. La naissance de la fille de Kahn est donc aussi celle d’une expérimentation à grande échelle qui préfigure l’échange d’images sur les réseaux sociaux. Par-delà les informations de première main que cet entretien propose aux lecteurs, il pose également différentes questions liées aux premiers pas de la photographie partagée tant sur le plan technologique, qu’industriel ou humain.
Mobility, Change, and A Shared History
Authors: Titleman Mark 
Published: October 2024

It was only in 1727 that the first Turkish‑Muslim printing house was established by Ibrahim Müteferrika with the support of Sultan Ahmed III. It came into existence in Istanbul at the beginning of the eighteenth century during a peaceful interlude known as the Tulip Era – a brief period characterized by increasing consumerism, religious tolerance, interest in philosophy and openness to the West. Many reasons have been put forward for this late adoption: Sultanic firmans, opposition from scribes, lack of a market for printed texts, and the difficulty in printing Arabic script. What forms of mobility in print material and technology existed before 1727 in the Ottoman Empire, and how did they interact with the creation of a Turkish‑Muslim printing press during the Tulip Era? It was Rabbi Jacob ben Asher’s incunable of 1493 – "Four Rows" – that marked the inauguration of printing of any type in the Ottoman Empire. This text will be briefly analyzed, along with the ensuing centuries‑long Hebrew and Ladino print traditions, and finally their continuation through the Tulip Era. This article will frame the historical development of Jewish print culture in Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth century while situating it within the international marketplace. The exchanges between the intercontinental Jewish print culture, the first Turkish‑Muslim printing house, and European intellectuals emphasize interconnectedness as well as the reimagination of the Tulip Era not as the initial thrust of Ottoman "modernization" but rather the amalgamation of previous technological and socioeconomic forces. Using Ottoman Jewish printing as a comprehensive example, "modernization" in the Ottoman Empire is shown to have occurred over many centuries, with its achievement the result of a blending of different coexisting cultures and trends.

Authors: Maseko Lebogang J. , Adams Fasloen , Myezwa Hellen 
Published: October 2024

Background: Increasing functional limitations and disabilities have raised the need for comprehensive rehabilitation services at the primary healthcare (PHC) level, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. To support the integration of these services into PHC in South Africa, assessing outcomes from the service users’ perspectives is essential.Objectives: This study examined service users’ views on their PHC rehabilitation outcomes in a Metropolitan District of Gauteng, South Africa. The aim was to understand perceived changes in activity limitations and participation restrictions following the rehabilitation intervention.Method: A quantitative survey design, including self-rating measurements and structured interviews, was employed. Thirty-eight rehabilitation service users from eight clinics and community health centres were purposively sampled. Participants rated their pre- and post-rehabilitation levels of difficulty in activity limitations and participation restrictions, with open-ended questions providing additional insights. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, quantitative content analysis, and non-parametric tests.Results: Significant improvements in mobility, self-perception, and quality of life were reported by both adult and child service users. Caregivers of child service users also noted positive experiences (p = 0.019) in community, social, and civic life.Conclusion: This study highlights the perceived positive changes experienced by PHC rehabilitation service users in addressing functional limitations and disabilities. It underscores the effectiveness of integrated rehabilitation service delivery in improving user outcomes.Contribution: The findings offer valuable insights into how rehabilitation interventions enhance functional abilities, social participation, and overall well-being. By focusing on activity limitations and participation restrictions from service users’ perspectives, this study supports the priority of providing person-centred rehabilitation services at the PHC level.

Background: Disability inclusive youth research, involving youth with disabilities in the design, implementation and dissemination of study data, is still limited in Africa.Objectives: To describe and reflect on the experiences of involving youth with disabilities in an exploratory research study, focused on disability-inclusive education and employment in 7 African countries.Method: 12 youths with different impairments, aged 18 to 35, were employed as researchers in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal and Uganda. Youth researchers contributed to the data collection and analysis of interviews with 210 youth with disabilities. 24 youth advisors with disabilities formed two youth advisory groups (YAG) of 12 advisors each in the regional hub countries Ghana and Uganda. The YAGs met 4 times during the project and contributed to the study design, data collection, data analysis and dissemination activities. In addition, 4 workshops were held with the Ugandan YAG to develop a participatory film.Results: Together with the youth participants, we reflected on the experiences of involving youth with disabilities and conducting research with, by and on youth with disabilities. We highlighted ethics and safeguarding, recruitment and representation, exploring experiences and data quality, participatory dissemination, accessibility, capacity building and networking as key areas of consideration and benefit in this project.Conclusion: Participatory research with youth with disabilities is feasible, enriching, and key to inclusive research that informs education and employment policy and practices.Contribution: Lessons learned from youth involvement in a disability inclusive research programme, focused on education and employment in 7 African countries.
Breaking the cycle of poor critical reading comprehension: A strategy-based intervention
Authors: Olifant Florence M. 
Published: October 2024

Critical reading comprehension is a crucial skill for lifelong learning, but many learners struggle with effectively extracting meaning from texts. This study aimed to address this issue by investigating how a strategy-based instruction intervention could impact learners’ critical reading comprehension competence. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test control group design. The participants were 155 Grade 9 English first additional language (FAL) learners from two high schools in Gauteng, South Africa. The intervention programme was based on Bloom’s taxonomy categories for learning, teaching and assessing, modified into six strategies: (1) knowledge (pre-reading), (2) comprehension (extracting meaning), (3) application (asking questions), (4) analysis (reflection), (5) evaluation (outlining key concepts and decision-making) and (6) synthesis (summarising). Using a two-way mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) paired sample t-tests, the study found that while both groups’ critical reading comprehension competence increased, the experimental group that received the strategy-based instruction intervention performed significantly better in the post-test, showing a significant improvement compared to the control group. The findings demonstrated that providing clear explanations, instruction and support on reading strategies can enhance learners’ critical reading comprehension, highlighting the mutual reliance between teaching and learning. The teacher’s instructional approach in guiding learners to effectively use reading strategies is crucial for enhancing critical reading comprehension in the English FAL classroom. In conclusion, the results suggest that the intervention effectively enhanced critical reading comprehension competence, and if implemented by teachers, it could potentially help break the cycle of poor critical reading comprehension among English FAL learners.Contribution: The contribution of this study lies in its provision of empirically supported perspectives and insights into the effectiveness of strategy-based instruction interventions. It emphasises the necessity of employing explicit reading comprehension pedagogies and targeted interventions, along with explicit instructional strategies, to address the reading comprehension challenges encountered by English FAL learners in South Africa and beyond.

Published: October 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment success rates (TSR) remain low in Lesotho. The country achieved TSR of 76% in 2020, which is far below the World Health Organization’s 95% target set for 2030. This study determined the level of treatment success and factors associated with unfavourable treatment outcomes. This descriptive cross-sectional study used patient records to perform descriptive and logistic regression analyses. Sixty-one per cent of the 336 TB patients were male. Two hundred and eighty-nine had favourable outcomes, of which 10% died in the course of treatment. Patients ≤ 44 years old, and those with supported treatment, had lower odds of unfavourable treatment outcomes, respectively, adjusted odds ration [aOR] = 0.39 (95% CI: 0.19–0.78) and aOR = 0.22 (95% CI: 0.08–0.62), p 0.05.Contribution: The death of patients while on TB treatment needs to be addressed, including heightened advocacy for supported treatment.
In vitro antibacterial effect of a nano-zinc oxide eugenol sealer alone and in combination with chitosan, propolis, and nanosilver on Enterococcus faecalis
Authors: Ghaffari Parisa , Zeighami Habib , Najdalizade Mohammad , Eftekhar Leila 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
This study aimed to assess the antibacterial effect of a nano-zinc oxide eugenol (nZOE) sealer alone and in combination with chitosan, propolis, and nanosilver on Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro, experimental study, nanosilver, chitosan, and propolis with 10wt%, 20wt%, and 60wt% concentrations, respectively, were added to nZOE sealer, and their antibacterial activity against E. faecalis was evaluated by agar diffusion and broth microdilution tests. The diameter of the growth inhibition zones was measured, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were calculated for all materials. Data were analyzed by t-test (alpha = 0.05).

Results:
The addition of nanosilver, chitosan, and propolis to nZOE did not change the diameter of growth inhibition zone in agar diffusion test. Propolis and eugenol alone showed the lowest MIC and MBC. Chitosan alone showed the highest MIC and MBC. Furthermore, nZOE showed lower MBC than micro-ZOE (P = 0.000). All groups containing nZOE showed the lowest MIC and MBC values.

Conclusion:
The addition of propolis to nZOE can enhance its antibacterial activity against E. faecalis in vitro.
The neural correlates of hearing loss-related distress: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study
Authors: Aldhafeeri Faten M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
The objective of this study is to investigate the brain mechanisms that contribute to the experience of emotional distress related to hearing loss (HL), using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Materials and Methods:
Two groups, matched in age, and gender were recruited: one group with bilateral high-frequency HL (n = 15) and a control group with normal hearing (NH, n = 15). During the task-based phase of the experiment, participants were given instructions to rate emotional stimuli from the International Emotional Digital Sounds (IADS) database and classify them as either pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral.

Results:
The findings from both the fMRI investigations indicate that individuals with NH and those with HL have contrasting emotional reactions. More precisely, in the task-oriented investigation, we observed a delayed reaction to emotional sounds, but not to neutral sounds, in the group with HL in comparison to the NH group. The brain activity patterns of the NH group showed increased activation in limbic, frontal, and auditory areas, while processing emotional stimuli.

Conclusions:
Our results elucidate the brain mechanisms behind emotional discomfort caused by HL, paving the way for future research on therapeutic interventions to mitigate the psychological impact of HL.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Pregnancy with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) requires special attention in view of the enhanced risks to the fetus and the aggravation of SLE during pregnancy. Human immunodeficiency virus infection can further complicate the course of pregnancy as well as the outcome. We present a case of a 28-year-old primigravida who was diagnosed case of people living with HIV/AIDS and presented with SLE at 34 weeks of gestation. Subsequent evaluation of the patient revealed latent tuberculosis also. Cutaneous lesions responded well to oral corticosteroids, however, the outcome of pregnancy was hydrops fetalis. This report highlights the complex interplay of multiple comorbidities and their adverse impact on pregnancy outcome.
Pseudoprogression during immunotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma: A case report and literature review
Authors: Zhang Lanying , Tian Tiantian , Zhang Yingying , Yu Shuliang , Chen Fangjie , Qiao Lili , Hu Pingping , Zhang Jiandong 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Immunotherapy is a novel treatment option for various types of cancers. However, the optimal timing for response evaluation has not been well defined. Here, we present a gastric cancer (GC) patient with microsatellite instability-high who experienced recurrence 5 years and 11 months after radical gastrectomy. Then, the patient was treated with radiotherapy, targeted drugs, and immunotherapy. Immunotherapy resulted in 5 months of continuous progression, accompanied by significantly increased tumor marker CA19-9. However, the patient exhibited a satisfactory response without altering the treatment. Based on this, we hypothesized that some persistent progression with elevated tumor markers, known as pseudoprogression (PsP), might be observed in patients with recurrent GC during immunotherapy. This process might be prolonged, but if the treatment is continued, it will eventually produce remarkable therapeutic effects. PsP might challenge the globally accepted immune response evaluation criteria for solid tumors.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Context and Aims:
Which cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) involved in the progress of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) need to be further clarified. To identify prognostic-relevant biomarkers in HCC through a systematic investigation of the prognostic value of CDKs.

Methods and Material:
We explored the relationship between CDKs expression and the prognosis of patients with HCC using multiple online databases. In addition, their biological functions and correlation with the immune system and drug response were investigated.

Results:
Among the 20 CDKs (CDK1 ~20) altered in HCC, the significantly high expression of CDK1 and CDK4 in patients with HCC was significantly associated with worse prognosis. Interestingly, CDK1 had significant co-occurrence with CDK4 and CDK1-related and CDK4-related signaling pathways are closely related to hepatitis virus–related HCC. We identified multiple transcription factors of CDK1 and CDK4; of those, only four (E2F1, PTTG1, RELA, and SP1) were significantly associated with the prognosis of HCC patients. Genetic alterations in CDKs were significantly correlated with disease-free and progression-free survival, which may be associated with aberrant expression of progesterone receptor. Moreover, we found a significantly positive correlation between CDK1 and CDK4 expression and tumor-infiltrating activated CD4+ T cell and exhausted T cell–related signature. Finally, we identified drugs with good potential prognostic value predicted by CDK1 and CDK4 levels.

Conclusions:
CDK1 and CDK4 may be potential prognostic biomarkers for HCC. Moreover, targeting four transcription factors (E2F1, PTTG1, RELA, and SP1) combined with immunotherapy may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating HCC patients with high CDK1 and CDK4 expression, especially hepatitis-related HCC.
