AIAIA Sweatshop
No full textL’exposition AIAIA Sweatshop (qui s’est tenue du 17 mai au 21 juin 2024 à l’artist-run space àDuplex, à Genève) a exploré par les moyens de l’art, derrière les résonances médiatiques de l’acronyme IA/AI, certains paradoxes des dimensions matérielles de l’intelligence artificielle. En une série de « salles », étaient mis en situation et en question ses rapports à l’histoire, aux machines, au corps, aux identités et à la technopolitique, loin des images éthérées, fascinantes ou effrayantes, d’une nouvelle puissance technologique autant immatérielle qu’inexorable. Cette exposition est née d’une collaboration entre le séminaire d’Humanités numériques de Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel à l’Université de Genève et du séminaire de Work.Master de David Zerbib à la HEAD
On the record ::notes sur les pratiques féministes de l'entretien en arts visuels
No full textDans le recueil Let's Have a Talk, Lauren O'Neill Butler s'interroge sur ce que l'interview fait à l'écriture en art, et plus particulièrement sur ce que la transcription d'un événement dialogique enregistré et son édition collaborative sous une forme « as-told-to » font à la prise de parole des artistes et des critiques. Cette négociation, observe-t-elle, change à chaque rencontre, mais la pratique de l'interview implique invariablement une forme d'hospitalité -« c'est aussi une façon de se retirer de la conversation juste assez pour fournir une plateforme à quelqu'un-ex d'autre ». La conversation invite à la coécriture, ce qui fait de l'interview un moyen d'autoreprésentation et d'autoarchivage médiée par le dialogue. Le choix d’une approche conversationnelle, plus proche des formes de l’histoire orale, permet d’enregistrer la pensée en train de se construire. Situer les deux subjectivités qui engagent la réflexion impacte non seulement la façon d’enregistrer l’expérience de l’artiste avec le-laquel-lex on converse, mais aussi la manière de lire l’interview par la suite

Can blood flow restriction be the key to reducing quadriceps weakness in the early and mid-phases after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a hamstring graft? a systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
No full textAbstract: Background: Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most common
knee injuries. Following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, strength deficits and
reduced quadriceps and hamstring muscle mass are common. Traditional strengthening
protocols recommend the use of heavy loads. However, following surgery, heavy-load
exercises are contraindicated to protect the joint and graft. Blood flow restriction resistance
training is an alternative that optimizes muscle recovery. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction resistance training on muscle mass and strength
after ACLR. Methods: The Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases were used to
constitute the corpus of this systematic review. The methodological quality of the studies
was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s analysis grid. Results: Thirty-four articles
were identified in the initial search, and five randomized controlled trials were included
in this review. Not all studies reported significant results regarding strength and muscle
mass. Two of these studies observed a significant improvement in strength associated with
blood flow restriction resistance training compared with the control group. A significant
increase in muscle mass was observed in one study. Conclusions: The blood flow restriction
resistance training method shows superior efficacy to training without occlusion, yet this
device has not been shown to be more effective than heavy-load resistance training in terms
of muscular strength and muscle mass. Blood flow restriction resistance training shows
superior efficacy in both these variables when used with low loads. However, there are still
few random controlled trials on this subject, and this review presents their limitations and
biases. Future research is needed on guidelines for the application of blood flow restriction
resistance training in clinical populations
Adults living with dementia and chronic wounds, wound types, care challenges, and impact across dementia stages ::a scoping review protocol
No full textObjective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the existing evidence on the epidemiology, care challenges, and impacts of various wound types among individuals living with dementia across different stages of the disease. Introduction : Dementia is a growing global health concern, projected to rise significantly as the population ages. This condition not only affects cognitive function but also increases the risk of chronic wounds in part due to impairments in mobility, self-care, and communication. Current wound care guidelines inadequately address the specific needs of individuals with dementia. This scoping review seeks to fill this gap by comprehensively exploring the intersection between dementia and wound care. Inclusion criteria : This review will include studies involving adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with dementia or cognitive impairment who are experiencing alterations in skin integrity, such as pressure injuries, venous and arterial ulcers, and diabetic ulcers. Both qualitative and quantitative studies will be considered, as well as studies focusing on the challenges faced by caregivers in managing wounds in this population. Excluded are studies such as editorials and opinion articles. Methods : A comprehensive search strategy will be employed across multiple electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and PubMed, as well as grey literature sources like ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global and OpenGrey. The search will include studies published in English and French without date restrictions. Data will be extracted using a pilot-tested tool and presented in graphical, diagrammatic, and tabular formats. A narrative summary will accompany these visuals, providing context and insights into the data in relation to the review's objectives
Considerations and recommendations from the ISMRM diffusion study group for preclinical diffusion MRI ::part 1: in vivo small‐animal imaging
No full textSmall-animal diffusion MRI (dMRI) has been used for methodological development and validation, characterizing the biological basis of diffusion phenomena, and comparative anatomy. The steps from animal setup and monitoring, to acquisition, analysis, and interpretation are complex, with many decisions that may ultimately affect what questions can be answered using the resultant data. This work aims to present selected considerations and recommendations from the diffusion community on best practices for preclinical dMRI of in vivo animals. We describe the general considerations and foundational knowledge that must be considered when designing experiments. We briefly describe differences in animal species and disease models and discuss why some may be more or less appropriate for different studies. We, then, give recommendations for in vivo acquisition protocols, including decisions on hardware, animal preparation, and imaging sequences, followed by advice for data processing including preprocessing, model-fitting, and tractography. Finally, we provide an online resource that lists publicly available preclinical dMRI datasets and software packages to promote responsible and reproducible research. In each section, we attempt to provide guides and recommendations, but also highlight areas for which no guidelines exist (and why), and where future work should focus. Although we mainly cover the central nervous system (on which most preclinical dMRI studies are focused), we also provide, where possible and applicable, recommendations for other organs of interest. An overarching goal is to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of small animal dMRI acquisitions and analyses, and thereby advance biomedical knowledge

Systematics, diagnosis and treatment of wound infections in chronic wounds ::a position paper from WundDACH
No full textWound infections are still an interdisciplinary and interprofessional challenge, because of numerous complications, particularly in people with chronic wounds. There are many different concepts and approaches in this field today. Therefore, WundDACH, the umbrella organization of the German-speaking wound healing societies, wrote a position paper on this important topic. An interdisciplinary and interprofessional group of experts from German-speaking countries developed definitions and procedures for nomenclature, diagnosis and treatment of wound infections in people with chronic wounds in a modified Delphi process. The importance of correctly diagnosing wound infections is emphasized so that adequate treatment can be carried out as early and specifically as possible. For a differentiated assessment, a simplified continuum of wound infection with contamination, colonization, local and systemic infection and the corresponding therapeutic consequences was described. Most bacteria in wounds can be removed by repeated wound-irrigation and debridement. Local wound infections are diagnosed based on clinical signs of infection and TILI score. Treatment is then usually exclusively local, for example with modern antiseptics such as polyhexanide. Systemic antibiotics should mostly be considered when signs of systemic infections appear. The indication for antimicrobial wound therapy should be critically reviewed after 10–14 days at the latest
La formation comme moteur d'intégration
No full textEn Suisse, de nombreux enfants et jeunes vivent sans statut officiel (sans papiers ou requérants d’asile dont la demande a été rejetée). Quel traitement faut-il leur accorder pendant leur séjour en Suisse, qui peut s’avérer relativement long même après une décision d’expulsion du territoire ? Que ce soit du point de vue de l’efficience ou de l’équité, il apparaît indéniable que la poursuite des études ou d’une formation, mais aussi l’accès à un emploi devraient être encouragés
Mental health of informal caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic ::a Swiss cohort study
No full textAims of the study: The COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures have disrupted healthcare systems and may have impacted informal caregivers’ mental health due to increased responsibilities and limited access to support services. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of mental distress among caregivers and non-caregivers and identify risk and protective factors for mental distress in caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data were collected from participants in Specchio-COVID19, a population-based cohort in Geneva, Switzerland. Mental distress was measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in June 2021. The prevalence of distress was compared between caregivers and non-caregivers. Risk and protective factors for mental distress among caregivers were explored using logistic regressions. Results: Among the 5416 participants, 1086 (20%) reported helping someone in a non-professional manner with activities of daily life and were considered caregivers. Mental distress was more frequent in caregivers than in non-caregivers (41% vs 37%, p = 0.010). In caregivers, limited social support (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.25 [95% confidence interval: 1.10, 1.42]), caring for an individual with a mental condition (aOR = 1.21 [1.05, 1.41]), living over 10 km away from the care recipient (aOR = 1.17 [1.02, 1.34]), feeling more isolated in one’s caregiving role (aOR = 1.20 [1.08, 1.32]), worrying about caregiving ability in case of COVID-19 or quarantine (aOR = 1.18 [1.08, 1.28]) and experiencing reduced availability of healthcare professionals (aOR = 1.11 [1.02, 1.22]) were associated with increased odds of mental distress. Conclusion: Informal caregivers experienced higher levels of mental distress than non-caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study highlights the need for public health policies that enhance both formal and informal support networks and include rapidly implementable solutions for caregiving continuity, benefiting both caregivers and their care recipients
