Authors: Peleg Yonatan , Bomback Andrew S. , Canetta Pietro A. , Radhakrishnan Jai , Appel Gerald B. , Ahn Wooin
Published: April 2021

Key Points

Primary membranous nephropathy can relapse after >5 years of achieving remission.

Late relapse can occur even 36 years after initial manifestation. It has a favorable prognosis.

Acknowledgment of this under-recognized form of membranous nephropathy may lead to early diagnosis of relapse, avoiding unnecessary workup.

Background

Relapse of the nephrotic syndrome is co mmon among patients with primary membranous nephropathy (MN). Relapses of MN typically occur within a few years of achieving disease remission. There is limited description, to date, regarding patients with MN who have late relapse of MN, i.e., after >5 years of sustained disease remission. The objective of this case series was to report the clinical course of patients with MN who experience late relapse.

Methods

We analyzed the patient database of the Glomerular Kidney Disease Center at Columbia University to identify patients seen at our center who had relapse of biopsy specimen–proven MN at least 5 years after achieving sustained disease remission.

Results

We identified 16 patients with late relapse of MN. The median time in sustained remission before relapse was 10.2 (range, 7–29.0) years. Ten patients (63%) were diagnosed with late relapse on the basis of laboratory monitoring alone, without clinical symptoms of the nephrotic syndrome. Fourteen patients (88%) received immunosuppression during their initial presentation and late relapse. Patients had favorable long-term renal outcomes over a median 21 (range, 12–56) year follow-up period, with 14 patients (88%) in remission at study conclusion and a median decline in eGFR per year of −0.63 (range, −6.3 to 17.5) ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year.

Conclusions

This case series highlights a previously underappreciated, and likely rare, outcome of MN, namely, late relapse. Patients who experience late relapse, and who thus have a longer time in sustained remission, may have a more favorable long-term renal outcome.

Published: April 2021

The main aim of the environmental protection agencies and the government are to seek ways and means to minimize the problems of disposal and health hazards of by products. It is considered as a waste material which could have a promising future in construction industry as substitute of either cement or coarse aggregates or fine aggregates. Copper slag is one of the replacement mechanisms of material in concrete. Use of copper slag as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete cubes various strength measurements was experimentally investigated in this study. Mainly contents of that M35 conventional concrete and copper slag as a replacement of fine aggregate  in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%,50%, 60%, 80%, and 100% and also Portland Pozzolana Cement is noted. In this regard, laboratory study including water absorption test, bond strength, and percentage of voids, compressive strength & bulk density were conducted in ppc cement concrete which made by copper slag waste as a replacement of fine aggregate and PPC. A substitution up to 40-50% as a copper slag as a sand replacement yielded comparable strength to that of the conventional concrete. However, addition of more copper slag resulted in strength reduction due to the increase in the free water content in the mix, cured period in a curing tank for later resulting at 28 and 60 days.

Authors: R Ranjith , P Easwaran , M Kalaivani , S Ramesh
Published: April 2021

As the infrastructure development growing worldwide, the demand for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) increases exponentially. Studies revealed that the production of one ton cement releases one ton of CO2 to the atmosphere due to the calcinations of lime stone and combustion of fossil oil. The production of cement is highly energy intensive and it consumes a substantial amount of natural resources. Davidovits (1978) proposed that binders can be produced by polymeric reaction of alkaline liquid with alumino-silicate materials such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, rice husk etc., Geopolymer also has the ability to form a strong chemical bond with rock based aggregates. Fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete is relatively a new composite material in which fibers are introduced in the matrix as micro reinforced to improve the strength properties. This paper presents a new review on various research works done in the area of geopolymer concrete and the effect of fiber on their mechanical properties.
Green Concrete – A Review
Authors: M.P. Sureshkumar , B Sathish Kumar , J Ravikanth
Published: April 2021

Green concrete is made from eco-friendly wastes. It reduces CO2 emission and creates least harm to the environment. It reduces water usage up to 20%. The major factors driving the green concrete market are due to the reduction of carbon footprints by about 40-50% during the production process, the rise in the construction activities in the developing nations and the major reason is the usage of less water. Apart from all this it also provides excellent thermal insulation, and high level of fire resistance that enables the structure built with green concrete. There is significant potential in waste materials to produce green concrete. Partial replacement of ingredients by using waste materials and admixtures shows better compressive and tensile strength, improved sulphate resistance, decreased permeability and improved workability.

Authors: M.L. Brindhalakshmi , R Arul Nivetha , T Kayalvizhi , S Gunasekar
Published: April 2021

Sugar cane bagasse ash (SBCA) is a fibrous waste-product of the sugar refining industry. It is generated as a combustion by-product from boilers of sugar and alcohol factories. This is composed mainly by silica and this by-product can be used as a mineral admixture in mortar and concrete. This waste product is already causing serious environmental pollution which calls for urgent ways of handling the waste. On the other hand, the boost in construction activities in the country created shortage in most of concrete making materials especially cement, resulting in an increase in price. This study examined the potential use of sugarcane bagasse ash as a partial cement replacement material. In this paper, Bagasse ash has been chemically and physically characterized, in order to evaluate the possibility of their use into concrete.

Authors: Pérez María José , Labiano Mabel , Brusasca Claudia
Published: April 2021

La Deseabilidad Social (DS) es la tendencia psicológica a auto-atribuirse cualidades de personalidad socialmente deseables y rechazar aquellas indeseables. Se estudiaron las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de DS de Marlowe y Crowne (M-C) en una muestra de 400 sujetos pertenecientes a provincias cuyanas de Argentina (rango de edad: 17-70 años; M=30.97; DE=12.97). Se indagó la consistencia interna del test; capacidad discriminativa de los ítems; se establecieron  correlaciones entre variables sociodemográficas (edad,  escolaridad, sexo) y puntajes de DS; comparándose los resultados encontrados con los de otros investigadores. Se observó que a mayor edad disminuía la tendencia a mostrar una imagen socialmente aceptable. Se obtuvo una versión reducida del instrumento original, con una estructura factorial bidimensional y una consistencia interna que se incrementó de .48 a .57. Se concluye que dicha escala sería un instrumento moderadamente fiable para su aplicación en la población  cuyana.Palabras clave: Deseabilidad Social; Escala de Deseabilidad Social; Confiabilidad; Validez.

Published: April 2021

This article aims to show the final results of the research  project devoted to build norms for Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (Raven, Raven, & Court, 2003), on subjects aged 19 to 30 years old in the city of La Plata, Argentina. The sample consisted of 979 subjects of both sexes, and was divided into four age groups. The results show that as the participant’s age increases, the average group’s performance improves, and variability remains similar between groups. There were no statistically significant differences found between sexes, or between the current results and those from the 2000 norms. It was found that the scores’ increase, expected according to the Flynn effect, has stopped, and the possible intergenerational cognitive differences which could explain this phenomenon are discussed. These results are also compared with those from recent research made in other countries.

Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of an Attitudes towards Mathematics Scale (AMS) for students who are finishing elementary school and starting high school. For this purpose, a specific measure was designed, and its psychometric properties and predictive capacity were evaluated. 193 students of elementary (sixth grade) and high school (first  and second year) participated in the study (M age = 12.7 years, SD = 0.36). Item-total correlations and Cronbach's alpha (α = .92) indicated that the scale is consistent for construct measurement. Exploratory factor analysis showed a three-factor structure, named perceived competence, liking/motivation for mathematics, and school engagement behaviours. Regarding predictive validity, moderate correlations were found among scale’s dimensions and measures of academic productivity and success in mathematics. These results suggest that the AMS represents a reliable and valid tool for assessing attitudes towards mathematics.

Phubbing is a behavior of great relevance, yet scarcely studied in Argentina. The present study validated a questionnaire in this regard in a sample of Argentine adolescents and emerging adults/young adults. An intentional sample of 1245 participants from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and Paraná, Argentina, aged 12 to 40 years, with 70% of women was constituted. Participants answered the Karadağ et al. (2015) Questionnaire on Phubbing and the Furman and Buhrmester (1992) Inventory of Conflict-Antagonism with parents (fathers and mothers). The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated an adequate structure of three factors. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a satisfactory adjustment. Internal reliability was adequate with certain reservations for some factors. Construct validity evidence was also found, as indicated by the association of phubbing with age and conflict-antagonism with parents.

Una perspectiva Social Cognitiva de la transición entre la escuela y el trabajo
Authors: Lent Robert W. , Hackett Gail , Brown Steven D.
Published: April 2021

Este artículo propone a la Teoría Social Cognitiva del Desarrollo de Carrera (SCCT; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) como una ventajosa perspectiva para comprender el proceso de transición entre la escuela y el trabajo. En lugar de enfatizar solo el período inmediatamente precedente al egreso de la escuela media, la perspectiva SCCT del proceso de transición entre la escuela y el trabajo se concentra en seis aspectos relacionados evolutivamente que se manifiestan a través de los años escolares. El énfasis en estos seis temas (formación de autoeficacia y expectativas de resultados, desarrollo de los intereses, relaciones entre intereses y metas, traducción de metas en acciones, ejecución de  destrezas; negociación de apoyos y obstáculos de transición) sugiere múltiples metas e intervenciones tendientes a facilitar el desarrollo de carrera de los estudiantes durante los años de escuela y después del ingreso al trabajo.
Fundamentos del Análisis de Regresión Logística en la Investigación Psicológica
Authors: Alderete Ana María
Published: April 2021

En este artículo se presenta el modelo de regresión logística, apropiado para predecir una variable categórica dicotómica. Esta situación es muy común en la investigación psicológica y en otras disciplinas de las ciencias sociales. Este modelo tiene ventajas sobre el análisis discriminante al no requerir supuestos como el de normalidad o de homocedasticidad, que en muchos casos son difíciles de cumplir. Por otro lado, la regresión logística tiene semejanzas con la regresión múltiple: cuenta con contrastes estadísticos, puede incorporar efectos no lineales y permite realizar diversos diagnósticos. En la actualidad este método es ampliamente utilizado tanto en estudios observacionales como de encuesta y experimentales. Se presentan de manera sencilla los fundamentos lógicos y estadísticos del método, ilustrándose con un ejemplo los procedimientos de cálculo e interpretación de los resultados.

often acute and rapidly progressive with symptoms such as fever, Headache, Bodyache, Back ache. As the disease progresses large areas of
bruising, uncontrolled bleeding nose and injection sites can occur. In the worst case scenarios complications such as disseminated intravascular
coagulation, Shock and Acute respiratory distress syndrome can occur. The fatality of CCHF ranges from 9-40%. The long term effects of CCHF
are yet to be studied. The majority of deaths have been reported in duration of 5-14 days of illness.
CLINICAL HEMODYNAMIC STUDY OF RECIPROCAL ST SEGMENT CHANGES IN ACUTE INFERIOR MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Authors: Wajid Hussain Mohammad , Sourav Kumar , Kumar Binay , Jana Debarshi
Published: April 2021

Objective: To investigate the clinical signicance of reciprocal ST segment depression on the presenting electrocardiogram in patients with acute
inferior myocardial infarction.
Design And Setting: A prospective, randomized, controlled single center study done in the medicine department of JLNMCH, Bhagalpur, Bihar.
Subjects: Forty consecutive patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction were enrolled in this study divided into two groups, 20 patients with
reciprocal ST depression (group 1) and 20 patients without such depression (group 2).
Interventions: All patients were investigated with serial ECG, cardiac biomarkers, echocardiography and coronary angiography.
Results: There was no signicant difference in the proportion of coronary disease risk factors in patients in group 1, versus those in group 2.
Patients in group 1 had signicant higher degree ST elevation (in inf. Leads) than patients in group 2, higher levels of peak total CPK and CKMB
was also seen. In addition patients in group 1 developed complication more frequently than those in group 2. Although no statistically signicant
difference between the two groups was seen as regard the ejection fraction sought by echocardiography, it did show a higher incidence of mitral
regurge in group 1 [14 (70%)] versus 6 (30%) in group 2 with P value of 0.01. In group 1 left ante-rior descending artery lesions was signicantly
more frequent than in group 2 with P value < 0.001, also multivessel disease was signicantly more frequent in group 1.
Conclusion: The signicance of reciprocal ST depression on the electrocardiogram during the course of inferior MI remains uncertain, opinion is
divided as to whether it is a benign electrical phenomenon or a sign of a greater myocardial necrosis and more frequent left coronary artery dis-ease,
from our study we support the latter opinion. This simple ECG nding may be used to differ-entiate high risk patients for a more aggressive
approach.

management may also be determined by surgical experience and local trends in practice. Study aimed to assess the results of treatment of paediatric
femoral diaphyseal fractures with titanium elastic nails.
Material And Methods: The study was conducted at Orthopaedics Department of PMCH, Patna, Bihar. A total of 22 patients with closed shaft
femur fractures and age ranging between 5-16 years scheduled to undergo treatment with titanium elastic nails were selected for the study. Children
with open fractures, outside this age group with concomitant head injury, bilateral femur fracture or associated fracture of either limb whose
xation was done after 7 days were excluded from the study. No control group was used. They were treated by retrograde TENS xation using two
nails of equal diameter for each fracture. Pre-operative evaluation includes full length radiograph of the fractured femur both antero–posterior
(A–P) and lateral views.
Results: In the present study, 22 patients with closed shaft femur fractures were treated with titanium elastic nails. The mean age of the patient was
13.23 years. We observed that in regards to fracture location, proximal fracture was seen in 5 patients, midshaft fracture in 14 patients and distal
fracture in 3 patients. However, in regards to pattern of location, transverse fracture was seen in 6 patients, oblique fracture in 8 patients, spiral
fracture in 5 patients and comminuted fracture in 3 patients.
Conclusion: From this study we can conclude that Intramedullary nailing of the pediatric femoral diaphyseal fractures using titanium elastic nail is
an effective surgical modality, with advantages of minimal incisional scar, minimal soft tissue damage, with early union time and excellent union
rates, and without affecting shoulder and elbow function.

Objective: This study was done for comparative study of dexmedetomidine with that o tramadol and pethidine in the treatment of post-neuraxial anaesthesia shivering. Design: This was a prospective, randomised, double-blinded study. Setting And Subjects: Hundred patients of both genders, aged 18–70 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II undergoing neuraxial a( spinal or combined spinal and epidural)anaesthesia for elective surgery were enrolled in this study. Sixty of them developed shivering after an intrathecal injection of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 15 mg. They were then randomly allocated to receive either intravenous dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg, pethidine 0.5 mg/kg or tramadol 0.5 mg/kg. Outcome measures: The response rate to treatment, the degree of sedation and the side-effects were recorded. Results: The response rate to treatment was highest in the dexmedetomidine group, and it was only signicant when compared to tramadol group (p = 0.0012). It was noted that the response rate was higher in the pethidine than in the tramadol group. This difference was not statistically signicant (p = 0.082). The sedation score post treatment was similar in all three groups, but more patients in the dexmedetomidine group developed hypotension and bradycardia (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/ml was more effective than tramadol 0.5 mg/ml and pethidine 0.5 mg/ml, and both tramadol and pethidine were found to have similar efcacy, in the treatment of post-neuraxial anaesthesia shivering. However, dexmedetomidine caused a higher incidence of hypotension and bradycardia.

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a very rare and deadly complication of measles infection, with its incidence being signicantly higher in developing countries. Our retrospective analysis of four patients highlights another ominous trend of this deadly disease, i.e, early age at onset leading to a rapid progress of symptoms. Four patients, presenting to the pediatrics department of a tertiary care hospital of eastern India, from February 2020 To December 2020, diagnosed as SSPE, by the modied Dyken's criterion, were analyzed. Paired CSF and serum samples were taken from all the patients and were analyzed for measles-specic IgG in serum (dilution 1:404) & CSF (dilution 1:2) using measles specic IgG ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit. All the patients were under 6 years of age with a mean latency period of 2.5 years. All had contracted measles infection before receiving the scheduled rst dose of vaccine at 9 months of age. Treatment was initiated according to the institutional protocol, keeping in mind the affordability. However, follow-up of the patients reected the rapid progression of the disease. High morbidity and mortality is associated with SSPE in developing countries like India, where treatment availability and affordability becomes a major issue. In order to prevent this disease, it is necessary to prevent measles infection. Recent studies have recorded early disappearance of maternal measles-specic antibodies thus pointing towards the need to vaccinate early. Our case series emphasizes the need to revamp the current vaccination strategies in India with particular focus on re-scheduling the rst dose to 6 months of age.
Clóvis Moura e Florestan Fernandes
Authors: Queiroz Marcos
Published: April 2021

O artigo faz uma incursão sobre os pensamentos de Clóvis Moura e Florestan Fernandes. Para tanto, em um primeiro momento analisa pontos de convergência entre esses dois autores, especialmente a relação entre escravidão e acumulação capitalista; a importância do negro como agente dinamizador da ordem social escravocrata; e a interpretação crítica e materialista do mito da democracia racial. Posteriormente, são trabalhadas divergências entre eles em mais três aspectos: características da escravidão; o processo abolicionista; a emergência do trabalho livre. Essa abordagem é feita pela análise do cotejamento das obras do período estruturante de ambos autores, compreendido entre 1950 e 1970, com os seus últimos livros, publicados na virada da década de 80 para 90. Conclui-se que, a despeito das fortes convergências entre Clóvis e Florestan, eles apresentam linhas distintas para pensar as relações raciais, a escravidão e o capitalismo no Brasil.

Innovative Forms of Education in Art and Design: Overview and Prospects
Authors: Alyabieva Liudmila , Sakhno Irina , Fadeeva Tatiana
Published: April 2021

The latest educational technologies and courses in art and design are the focus of this paper. Various practice-based graduate courses such as the practicebased Ph.D., the Art Ph.D., practice-based research, and practice-led research, and others, are of particular interest. The authors argue that traditional education is no longer capable of meeting today’s smart society’s needs with its focus on information, technology, and creativity. By establishing convergent teaching principles, these new graduate courses provide career-oriented education that fuses theory and practice. These innovative courses aim to reinforce practical/applied and research skills and bring together theoretical findings and practical representation forms. With today’s growing interest in projectbased and practice-based research, the authors examine the evolution of educational and academic standards and analyze the background of project-based activity in art and design education. Based on their in-depth study of international experience and postgraduate European art and design programs, they draw a range of conclusions and take a detailed look at practice-based research Ph.D. As Ph.D. programs become more diverse and the choice is continually growing, the authors feel that the traditional teaching and research role of a Ph.D. student is becoming outmoded. Becoming a key resource for creating innovative Ph.D. programs, today’s practice-based Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in art and design focus on applied research, the effectiveness of which is beyond question. Practice-based Ph. Ds, which are increasingly becoming the subject of academic debate, clearly show the shift taking place in views on graduate study standards. In today’s educational and academic learning models, the dichotomy between theory and practice is erased with practical research bringing together methodologies based on academic and practical results. The development of integrative methodology is greatly advanced through practical research cases, the effectiveness of which largely depends on the educational establishment’s management’s dedication to updating traditional learning formats. The paper offers a brief review of the leading practice-based Ph.D. discussion platforms while also introducing a wide variety of foreign-language sources, in which this new phenomenon and various practical research models are analyzed, into the academic field.

his article is devoted to analysis the theme of the “scholar’s study” in Netherland XVII century painting. The reason for the rise of this theme is closely related to the great development of science and navigation in the XVII century in Netherland. Under the economic development, the tradition of collecting prevails among scholars. People admire knowledge and work on scientific inquiry. The author analyzes Gerrit Dou’s self-portrait The Artist’s studio and the symbolic meanings of objects in the painting. The author states that his self-portrait portrays himself as a scholar, reflecting the social ethos of worshiping knowledge. The specificity of his work, the themes of the scholar’s study, the influence of science, religion, philosophy on the painting of Gerrit Dou, the symbolic meanings of objects surrounding the scientist are considered. Jan van der Hayden’s paintings Still Life with a Globe, Books, Sculpture and Other Objects reflect the wide-ranging style of the collection at that time, reflecting both the worship of religion and the abundance of Netherland foreign products under the background of the great geographical discovery in the XVII century. During this period, establishment of Netherland universities and advent of the maritime age encouraged a thriving cartography producing. A large number of globes and scientific tools appeared in the paintings. They not only have religious meaning, but also show the progress of the new era. Audience can get a glimpse of the characteristics of a typical Netherland scholar’s collection from his paintings. The purpose of this article is to analyze the scientific progress, social development of the Netherlands. This allows you to take a fresh look at the assessment of creativity on the theme of the scholar’s study. To fulfill that purpose, need to complete following tasks: to characterize the specifics of paintings in the themes of the scholar’s study, to reveal the symbolism in the paintings The Artist’s studio by Gerrit Dou, Still Life with a Globe, Books, Sculpture and Other Objects and A Corner of a Room with Curiosities by Jan van der Hayden, to show the close connection between the development of science in the 17th century and the topic of the scientist’s office. The author concludes that the theme of the “scholar’s study” in Netherland XVII century paintings reflect the collection characteristics and aesthetics in the XVII century.

Authors: D'Amico Claudia
Published: April 2021

Este artículo analiza la noción de authypóstaton en la obra De principio (1459) de Nicolás de Cusa a partir de la lectura directa que realiza el autor de dos escritos procleanos en su versión latina, Elementatio Theologica e In Parmenidem..  Tal noción es desplazada del ámbito de las hénadas a la del principio primero en una doble consideración como principio intelectual y como principio supra-intelectual. Sin embargo, procura mostrar que la apropiación de esta noción que realiza el Cusano supone una tradición de lectura en la cual él se inscribe.
