Authors: Klomjit Nattawat , Leung Nelson , Fervenza Fernando , Sethi Sanjeev , Zand Ladan 
Published: August 2020

Significance Statement
It is not known how frequently a kidney biopsy specimen reveals monoclonal gammopathy (MG) of renal significance (MGRS) in patients with MG or what factors predict this finding. In a review of medical records of 6300 patients with MG, the authors found that only 160 (2.5%) had a biopsy. Of those, 96 (60%) had lesions unrelated to MG, with arteriosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy accounting for most cases. Among 64 patients with MGRS, amyloid light chain amyloidosis and proliferative GN with monoclonal Ig deposition were the most common lesions. An elevated serum free light chain ratio, proteinuria ≥1.5 g/d, and hematuria were the strongest independent predictors of finding MGRS on biopsy specimens. These findings will assist nephrologists in determining which patients with MG and CKD would be at high risk of having MGRS.

Background
Little is known about the rate and predictors of finding lesions of monoclonal gammopathy (MG) of renal significance (MGRS) on kidney biopsy specimens among patients with MG.

Methods
We reviewed the medical records from 2013 to 2018 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to identify patients with MG and whether they had undergone a kidney biopsy. In a more select group of patients with MG from 2017 to 2018, we conducted a review of records to determine how many had underlying CKD, which of those with CKD had undergone a kidney biopsy, and reasons for deferring a kidney biopsy.

Results
Between 2013 and 2018, we identified 6300 patients who had MG, 160 (2.5%) of whom had undergone a kidney biopsy. Of the 160 patients, 64 (40%) had an MGRS lesion; amyloid light chain amyloidosis, the most common finding, accounted for nearly half of these lesions. In the non-MGRS group comprising 96 patients, 23 had arteriosclerosis, the most common finding. In multivariate analysis, strong predictors of finding an MGRS lesion included the presence of an elevated free light chain ratio, proteinuria, and hematuria. Among 596 patients with CKD and MG from 2017 to 2018, 62 (10.4%) underwent a kidney biopsy. Kidney biopsy was deferred for 70 patients (20%); for 62 of the 70, the diagnosis was already known, and eight were not candidates for therapy. Younger age and higher proteinuria and serum creatinine levels increased the likelihood that the patient would undergo a kidney biopsy.

Conclusions
Proteinuria ≥1.5 g/d, hematuria, and an elevated free light chain ratio increase the likelihood of finding MGRS, and a kidney biopsy should be highly considered in such patients.

Social representations of nurses. Differences between incoming and outgoing Nursing students
Authors: Bastias Franco , Giménez Itatí , Fabaro Pablo , Ariza José , Caño-Nappa María José 
Published: August 2020

Objective. This article explored and compared social representations of nurses held by incoming and outgoing Nursing students in the Technical Nursing Program in San Juan, Argentina. Methods. Our research was descriptive and utilized the prototypicality method of analysis for social representations, from a structural approach. The sample was made up of 194 students (104 incoming and 90 outgoing), to whom we applied the word association technique for the term “nurse”. Results. Differences were found in the representations that incoming and outgoing students had. i) For incoming students: we observe a wide and general concept of a nurse, expressed in non-specific terms such as “health” in the central core, while for outgoing students the term “care” emerged; ii) We infer distancing from the hegemonic medical model on the part of outgoing students, as well as an emphasis on the relational, as terms such as “vocation”, “humanization”, “love” and “empathy” are evoked, while the term “illness” decreases; iii) We understand that outgoing students highlight their autonomy with respect to doctors and nursing as a profession with the term “professional” with no mention of “assistance”, “help” and “assistant”, terms which did appear with incoming students; iv) Outgoing students convey a sense of a nurse’s diverse roles that go beyond the hospital setting, as instead of mentioning “hospital” and “injection” like incoming students, they mention “prevention” and “research”. Conclusion. The comparison of representative structures held by incoming and outgoing students suggests a transformation of self-image through a process of academic education.How to cite this article: : Bastias F, Giménez I, Fabaro P, Ariza J, Caño-Nappa MJ.

Authors: Alsadat Hosseini Fahimeh , Momennasab Marzieh 
Published: August 2020

Objective. To describe the care experiences of students in burn units. Methods. Qualitative research of the phenomenological descriptive type which was conducted with the participation of eight senior nursing students in Shiraz College of Nursing and Midwifery, Iran. The method used for gathering data about Student experiences in Care Services for Burn Cases was the individual semi-structured interview. The Colaizzi method was used for analysing and interpreting the data. Results. Three main themes emerged: the attractive but stressful experience, trying to adjust and metamorphosis in attitude. Taking care of burned patients led to metamorphosis and adaptation to the requirements of burn care due to the students’ improved attitudes, awareness and potentials. This finally turned the stressful nature of taking care of a burn patient into an attractive experience for them. Conclusion. Students with little clinical experience of stressful working situations in burn units faced different challenges. Due to the specific nature of taking care of burned patients, the clinical experiences of nursing students who offer these services are unique.How to cite this article:. Hosseini F, Momennasab M.

Objective. To determine the face, content, constructvalidity, and reliability of the functional social supportdomain of Perinatal Infant Care Social Support (PICSS)translated into Spanish and adapted for first-time mothersof term babies.
Methods. Validation study of the functionalsocial support domain of PICSS, which has 22 itemswith response options from 1 to 4; higher scores indicategreater social support. A translation, back-translation, andcultural adaptation process took place along with an expertreview to evaluate face and content validity. In total, 210mothers participated to establish construct validity andthe reliability of the domain. The content validity index andfactor analysis were used to identify the structure of thedomain. Reliability was estimated using Cronbach’s alphacoefficient.
Results. Linguistic and cultural adaptationswere performed, along with validation and reliability. Face validity for mothers was the following: high comprehension (94%); and forexperts: high comprehension (95.83%), high clarity (96.53%), and high precision(92.82%). In relevance and pertinence, the content validity index was high (0.97).Construct validation identified two factors that explained 76% of the variance of thedomain evaluated: factor 1 “Supporting presence -emotional and appraisal support”(13 items, 39%) and factor 2 “Practical support -informational and instrumentalsupport-” (9 items, 37%). Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.97.
Conclusion. Given the robust psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the functional socialsupport domain of PICSS, this may be used to identify the functional social supportin the mothers.

Published: August 2020

Objective. This work sought to know the state of the artrelated to the theme of Interprofessional Education (IPE)in the training of Nursing and Medical students and thelevel of evidence developed thus far.
Methods. This wasan exploratory systematic review, declared as scopingreview by the Joanna Briggs Institute, JBI, in which asearch was performed in Embase, Science direct, PubmedMedline, Academic search complete, BVS, Scopus and ERIC databases, limiting between 2009 - 2019 byusing the DeCS and MeSH terms of Interprofessionaleducation, education research, healthcare professionals,nursing and medicine, selecting 39 original articles aftercarrying out the review process with the criteria by theJBI.
Results. Four thematic nuclei emerged: Experiencesand perceptions of interprofessional learning, Didacticsrelated with IPE, Empirical indicators related with IPE,and Development of professional skills. The highest level of evidence is presented bythe articles dealing with didactics; on the contrary, no articles were found that dealtwith topics related with early inclusion of IPE in the medical and nursing curricula,which are currently necessary to complement the focus of patient-centered care.
Conclusion. The thematic nuclei show that the level of evidence in the literatureis varied, although mostly descriptive in scope, highlighting the development ofprofessional skills as a result of interprofessional education.

Authors: Bravo Valero Antonio José , Vera Miguel Ángel , Huérfano Maldonado Yoleidy Katherine , Manrique Hidalgo Yeison Fabián 
Published: August 2020

This research focuses on the study of a particular filter based on a similarity criterion that has been applied to improve the information contained in images acquired using different cardiac imaging modalities. The primary attention of this study is to examine which component of the similarity criterion generates more relevant information useful to increase the medical image quality. In this sense, four case studies are established, first a complete formulation of the similarity criterion is considered, and then three additional cases, representing each component of the criterion; such cases are referred to as full, main, residual1, and residual2, respectively. A score function is used for quantifying and then assessing the impact of each component of the similarity criterion. Such measure is a relation between some full–reference and blind–reference image enhancement measures. A computer generated phantom and a representative clinical dataset (1270 three–dimensional images from 126 patients) are used in a thorough evaluation of the similarity criterion. In general terms of performance of the image enhancement technique, the results of the study reveal that the component residual1 outperforms than the other two components of similarity criterion or its complete formulation.
New Geographies of Work: Re-Scaling Micro-Worlds
Authors: Bürkner Hans-Joachim , Lange Bastian 
Published: August 2020

The recently emerging new types of collaborative work and unconventional workplaces indicate that shifting social and economic practices have odd spatial implications. The diversity of work, mostly based on hybrid social and economic logics, has brought forth a number of new contextualised spatial constructs in recent years: makerspaces, fab labs, open workshops, and co-working spaces now require detailed analytical reconstruction and conceptualisation. This article is a theoretical discussion of the nature of fluid and contingent spatialisation against the backdrop of binary explanatory categories (e.g. local-global; proximity-distance). Drawing upon modernised concepts of horizontal scaling, we propose a perspective on hybrid work which focuses on contingent multiple, multidirectional and temporal scalings created by a variety of users while developing their own micro-worlds of work.
The Rise of Creative Hubs in Istanbul
Authors: Parlak Meltem , Baycan Tüzin 
Published: August 2020

This study investigates the emergence and the rise of Creative Hubs (CHs) in Istanbul, which as Turkey’s economic capital contains most of its creative workforce and the largest number of its CHs. In the last 10 years, the number of co-working spaces (CWSs), incubation centres (ICs), labs, and makerspaces in the city has rapidly increased, following a global trend. This study aims to better understand the changing working forms of the city by investigating the motivations behind the emergence of CHs. 46 CH examples, consisting of CWSs, ICs, makerspaces, and labs, have been examined for this purpose. The study is structured around the four main categories that highlight the different aspects of CHs: structure (establishment structure and community structure), focus (sectors and professions), services (physical and social facilities), and values (motivation). The findings of the study demonstrate that members of CHs are mostly freelancers, entrepreneurs, micro SMSs, and start-ups, consisting mostly of members of Generation Y. They work predominantly in creative sectors and tend to look for flexible and cost-saving solutions, support mechanisms, and new connections for their work. The research revealed that CHs are distinguished through the services that they provide. Having emerged as new forms to respond to the distinctive needs of emerging jobs in the creative economy era, they can be considered a new landscape of the post-industrial city.
Innovative technologies and living spaces; Updated living standards according to the evolution of homo sapiens
Authors: Karaca Alp 
Published: August 2020

Homosapiens is the common family name for contemporary human beings. There are different kinds of homo species but the most recent one with the most improved abilities are human beings of the present era, who have adapted themselves to the new technologies and life conditions by improving themselves. The substantial improvements in technology started with the French Revolution in 1799. Initially, technology helped human beings in the production and industry sectors. Thereafter, in the 1990s, technology penetrated living spaces, firstly helping with household duties and then impacting social life, first with the radio and later with the television. Living spaces started to change through the organisation of spaces, and most houses were organised according to location reserved for the television. This is the biggest change brought about by technology in living spaces. The expectations of human beings were on the rise simultaneously with economic welfare and consumption-based demands. In the 2000s, phyisical limitations occurred, while expectations increased even more. These were constraints over time, materials and economy, and the solution came from technology via virtual reality and generated cyber spaces, which were without limits, economical and surpassed the built environments. Due to the lack of physical conditions, built envionments ceded their place to virtual living spaces and virtual cities. In the present study, data collection was undertaken via a study of innovations within living spaces and also via an observation of social lives within living spaces. The present article aims to present what can be foreseen, on the basis of cause and effect, concerning the impacts of the current evolution on the one hand and massive outbreaks of viruses on the other hand, the impacts on the physical spaces of the homosapiens species that have succeeded in adapting to all the changes that they have come across from their beginnings until the present era, the impacts that both phenomena will have on the current living standards and living spaces of humans and what changes human living spaces will undergo in the ongoing process of evolution. Human beings will continue renewing themselves throughout the said phenomena before concluding their process of evolution.

Performance analysis and GPU parallelisation of ECO object tracking algorithm
Authors: Taygan Ugur , Ozsoy Adnan 
Published: August 2020

The classification and tracking of objects has gained popularity in recent years due to the variety and importance of their application areas. Although object classification does not necessarily have to be real time, object tracking is often intended to be carried out in real time. While the object tracking algorithm mainly focuses on robustness and accuracy, the speed of the algorithm may degrade significantly. Due to their parallelisable nature, the use of GPUs and other parallel programming tools are increasing in the object tracking applications. In this paper, we run experiments on the Efficient Convolution Operators object tracking algorithm, in order to detect its time-consuming parts, which are the bottlenecks of the algorithm, and investigate the possibility of GPU parallelisation of the bottlenecks to improve the speed of the algorithm. Finally, the candidate methods are implemented and parallelised using the Compute Unified Device Architecture.

Keywords: Object tracking, parallel programming.
Community-Based Coastal Resource Management (CB-CRM): a Case Study f Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines
Authors: Munchal Andrew L.L 
Published: August 2020

<p>This paper addressed the issue of sustainable coastal resource management through a successful Community-Based Coastal Resource Management (CB-CRM) Program in the Municipality of Mariveles, province of Bataan in the Philippines. The paper investigated how governance and institutional and legislative framework, and the concept of sustainable development complemented each other to promote good local eco-governance in the management and protection of finite local marine resources. Specifically, it analyzed how the local fisherfolk community of Mariveles utilized efficiently their finite marine resources in the context of eco-governance. It also investigated how the cooperative efforts of various stakeholders: peoples’ organizations (POs), local government unit (LGU), and a non- government organization (NGO) in Mariveles, Bataan affected their coastal resources against environmental degradation and exploitation. This paper would benefit POs, LGUs, and NGOs in their quest for sustainable management and conservation of their limited coastal resources. This paper yielded the following findings. First, POs and NGOs engage when NGOs can strengthen the POs’ capacity building through the transfer of skills and technology, when NGOs can enhance the POs’ indigenous knowledge, and when NGOs are more knowledgeable of formal venues of LGU participation. Second, LGUs, NGOs and POs engage when POs and NGOs can complement each other to strengthen their capacity building, and when NGOs can help implement environmental programs that are beneficial to the POs. Third, NGOs and POs engage when POs are threatened by elite power, and when NGOs want their environmental issues on LGU’s legislative agenda. Finally, NGOs and POs engage when they see possible LGU cooperation. Participant observation through focus group discussion (FGD) and key informants’ interview of different stakeholders was a primary source of information in formulating the aforementioned conclusions. In addition, stakeholders’ analysis and documentary analysis, i.e., books, print and non-print materials, video footage, monograph, were used as secondary sources of information.

<p>Environment is one of instrumental factor in the emerging and the spreading of dengue disease. The Climate change may causes affect to infectious disease pattern and the risk of transmission increasement. Disease of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has become endemic in the major cities in Indonesia. It has been suspected that dengue outbreaks that occur each year in almost all of Indonesia is closely related to weather patterns. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of climate change (rainfall, humidity and air temperature) with dengue cases in the Banjarbaru municipal during the year 2005-2010. The design of the study is a over times studies of ecology. The research was conducted in April-May 2010 and located in the Banjarbaru municipal, South Kalimantan by using secondary data. Data on the number of dengue cases was derived from the Banjarbaru Health Office reports. Climate data used are rainfall data, temperature and humidity obtained from the Meteorology and Geophysics Board (BMKG) Station of Banjarbaru and Syamsudin Noor Station of Banjarmasin. The results showed that rainfall, humidity, air temperature and free number larva had influence toward insidence of DHF (27%). The conclusion of this study is that the increased rainfall and humidity affected the increased in dengue cases. Therefore, it requires a good cooperation between the health department and BMKG as the party in charge for climates data. </p>
The Potency of Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri T. et. B) for Supporting Banjarese Building Construction in “Wetland Architecture”
Authors: ARIFIN YUDI FIRMANUL , ITTA DANIEL 
Published: August 2020

<p><strong> </strong></p>Environmental condition of around rivers and swamps causes the Banjarese people to build settlements use ulin (<em>Eusideroxylon zwageri</em> T. et. B.). Using ulin has become their culture, because they believe the building will be stronger. In fact the potential ulin from year to year continues to decline, because the growth is not proportional to the speed of ulin needs for construction, thus it is becoming scarce. This research was conducted in Kabupaten Tanah Laut and Kabupaten Kotabaru. The method used survey with purposive sampling (large of sample plot 100 m x 100 m which each plot divided into 25 sub-plots of 20 m x 20 m). All growth stages of ulin were inventoried and in each plot found ulin measured micro climate and collected sample of soil. Normally ulin can grow well on un-fertile soil, but micro climate like primary forest or old secondary forest. Potential ulin in both Kabupaten per hectare is very low. The amount of natural regenerations ranged from 3-5 individuals/ha for seedling and 3-46 individuals/ha for sapling. Number of poles found in both locations are ranged 5 – 6 individuals/ha, and not found tree stage. Restrictions on harvesting and conservation of ulin are urgently needed in South Kalimantan
