Keyvan Chemirani
No full textPercussionniste de tradition persane, Keyvan Chemirani n’a pourtant jamais expérimenté cet héritage paternel dans son écho-système d’origine. Il retrace son parcours atypique de musicien et de compositeur français, soulevant les questions de légitimité qui ont freiné ses premiers pas. Il rend aussi hommage au formidable esprit d’ouverture que son père et maître, Djamchid Chemirani, a su lui insuffler. Son récit dessine une autre forme de développement artistique, prenant sa source dans une tradition multiséculaire, mais construisant une carrière en dehors des normes et menant à des processus de création inusités

An Introduction to Teledermatology
No full textTeledermatologyTeledermatology (TD) encompasses the interpretation of a patient’s clinical history in conjunction with electronically transmitted images, in order to make a diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment recommendations. Three main platforms are currently being utilized: synchronous (real-time video consultation), asynchronousStore-and-forward (store-and-forward [SAF]), and hybrid. The main advantage provided by the use of telemedicineTelemedicinein dermatologyDermatology is easier access to specialized medical care, especially for underservedUnderserved patients and those limited by geographical barriers. TD can also be a useful tool for triaging patients, as well as a valuable asset in training residents and physicians. Furthermore, teledermatology consultations can be used in both the outpatient and inpatient setting, with many studies supporting its reliability and accuracy when compared to in-person consultations. Some barriers for its use to consider include the dependence on image/video quality, limited interaction between patients and physicians, medicolegal implications, and ethical concerns surrounding the shift of a patient-centered approach to a technologyTechnology-centered one

International Perspective of Mohs Micrographic Surgery: East Asia
No full textOverall skin cancerSkin cancer rates are much lower in East Asian populations than in Caucasian populations. Pigmented basal cell carcinomaBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type, and surgical excisionSurgical excision with wide margins is the standard treatmentTreatment for BCC in most East Asian countries. Due to differences among countries in insurance systems and surgical approaches, Mohs micrographic surgeryMohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an uncommon procedure in most Asian countries. Surgical excisionSurgical excision is widely used in the major parts of East Asia because of its effectiveness and simplicity. MMS has been reported to be a successful treatmentTreatment by particular institutions in Korea and Taiwan. However, MMS is not routinely available in most dermatologic units in East Asia. Intraoperative histological evaluation to control surgical margins is widely used instead of MMS for high-risk skin cancerSkin cancer. Complete histological margin control using a double-bladed scalpel may be easily applied to standard intraoperative frozen sectionFrozen sections evaluation in many institutions where MMS is difficult to perform. It is far less time-consuming and can be easily used by surgeons with existing systems, even in East Asian countries
A wolf in sheep's clothing: Exposing the structural violence of private electric automobility
No full textThe world is running out of time to avoid cataclysmic climate impacts. Therefore, determining which decarbonisation strategies are more effective and inclusive in reducing anthropogenic dependency on fossil fuels is vital for governments' decisions on investment. This research argues that the electrification of private automobility is neither effective nor equitable. Considering the current electricity mix of the grid, this electrification merely shifts the CO2 emissions and other pollutants from urban to rural areas. The strategy of private automobility electrification does not look beyond the problem of tailpipe emissions and hence cannot eliminate the deficiencies of the car-dependent system that require system-wide solutions, such as traffic congestion and road accidents. Prioritising this strategy not only maintains existing inequities but also increases social injustice and delays the implementation of more effective interventions. We argue that using private EVs structurally violates the biosphere and human communities in three ways: (1) production of inequities, (2) pollution and waste, and (3) the space of the exception (the ‘Electric Vehicle Bubble’). Finally, we conclude that eradicating private automobility is necessary to realise climate and transport justice. Focusing on inclusive strategies, such as supporting public transportation, shared mobility, and active travel modes, instead of offering incentives for EVs, are the means of progressive redistribution of wealth and can satisfactorily meet people's basic needs and governmental climate targets.<br/
Measuring motives for physical activity in adults / Keyvan Molanorouzi
No full textAlthough there is abundant evidence to recommend a physically active lifestyle, adult physical activity (PA) levels have declined. In order to understand why this happens, studies have been conducted to uncover the reasons for people’s participation in PA.
The Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) was created to be a comprehensive tool to measure motives for participating in PA. The present thesis consists of three studies investigating the validation of PALMS in Malaysian adults. In Study 1, I examined the reliability and validity of the PALMS. In Study 2, I investigated
the construct validity of the PALMS by testing whether motives for participation best discriminated between types of PA, age, and gender. Finally, in Study 3, I further
investigated the construct validity of the PALMS by examining whether PA motives predicted actual amount of PA at a later time.
In Study 1, a total of 502 (259 males, 243 females) Malaysian volunteer participants, aged 17 to 67 years completed the PALMS and REMM (questionnaire from which the
PALMS was developed). The hypothesized eight sub-scale model demonstrated acceptable fit with the data (CMIN/DF = 2.820, NFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.06). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α = 0.79) indicated good internal consistency for the overall measure. Internal consistency for the PALMS sub-scales was sound, ranging from 0.78 to 0.82 Spearman’s rho (rs = 0.86, p < 0.001) indicated strong criterion validity with the REMM. The test-retest reliability for the PALMS sub-scales was between 0.78 and 0.94 over a 4-week period.
In Study 2, a quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive research design was employed. The PALMS was used to assess motives for PA in 1,360 adults (703 males, 657 females). Respondents were divided into two age groups (young adults aged 20 to 40 years and middle-aged adults 41 to 64 years) and five types of activity (individual sports, team sports, racquet sports, martial arts, and exercise). The group discriminant function analyses revealed significant canonical functions correctly classifying the cases into gender, age group, and type of activities group. The findings in this study suggest that strong and important motives for participation in PA are different across gender,
age, and type of activity in adults.
In Study 3, a quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive research design was employed. The PALMS was used to assess motives for PA in adults on two occasions. A sample of
493 undergraduate students aged 18 to 25 years took part in the study. The results showed that not only were pertinent sub-scales of PALMS positively related to amount of PA, but separate regression analyses showed the positive predictive effect of PALMS motives for amount of PA for each type of PA among participants. This study supported the construct validity of the PALMS by showing that the motives measured by PALMS did predict amount of PA. The three studies in this thesis signal strong potential for the PALMS to be used in practice to advise individuals about suitable PA based on their primary motives for participating
