Published: February 2020

RESUMO: A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a representação da figura feminina na obra São Bernardo, de Graciliano Ramos, especificamente no que se refere aos aspectos da violência e da opressão. Nesse sentido, buscou-se compreender a representação do feminino a partir do viés cultural da época de publicação da obra, enfatizando os fatores de dominação, submissão, silenciamento e exercício de poder sobre o gênero feminino. Para tanto, a escolha dessa obra como corpus da pesquisa foi motivada por representar uma personagem feminina complexa, imponente que compartilha de pensamento emancipador em meio a um período marcado pelo patriarcado. Assim, este estudo proporcionou percorrer um percurso interdisciplinar a partir das áreas dos estudos culturais, estudos literários e crítica feminista, contextualizando o período histórico representado na obra. Por outro lado, o romance também nos permitiu analisar a trajetória da mulher, situando as imposições e restrições através dos papéis preestabelecidos pela cultura e sociedade do período, além de possibilitar o estabelecimento de correlações com a mulher e o seu papel na contemporaneidade. Durante a investigação, consegue-se observar marcas do preconceito e da inferiorização enfrentados pelo gênero feminino, principalmente em relação às funções impostas no convívio social, prevalecendo uma hierarquia entre os gêneros masculino e feminino, ressaltando a dependência e a submissão feminina. A pesquisa teve como fundamentação teórico-metodológica as concepções de Beauvoir (1980); Benedict (2013); Friedan (1971); Laraia (2009); Ortner (2017) Tedeschi (2008), dentre outros. Neste trabalho, foram observados traços que representaram o caráter agressivo e dominador do homem, enquanto sujeito social e culturalmente considerado superior perante a mulher, idealizada como gênero mais frágil e auxiliar do homem. Ao longo da investigação, percebemos, em São Bernardo, a atribuição da inferiorização atribuída à mulher.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Graciliano Ramos. São Bernardo. Mulher.

Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction in Close Distance
Authors: Shiomi Masahiro , Sumioka Hidenobu , Ishiguro Hiroshi 
Published: February 2020

As social robot research is advancing, the interaction distance between people and robots is decreasing. Indeed, although we were once required to maintain a certain physical distance from traditional industrial robots for safety, we can now interact with social robots in such a close distance that we can touch them. The physical existence of social robots will be essential to realize natural and acceptable interactions with people in daily environments. Because social robots function in our daily environments, we must design scenarios where robots interact closely with humans by considering various viewpoints. Interactions that involve touching robots influence the changes in the behavior of a person strongly. Therefore, robotics researchers and developers need to design such scenarios carefully. Based on these considerations, this special issue focuses on close human-robot interactions.
This special issue on “Human-Robot Interaction in Close Distance” includes a review paper and 11 other interesting papers covering various topics such as social touch interactions, non-verbal behavior design for touch interactions, child-robot interactions including physical contact, conversations with physical interactions, motion copying systems, and mobile human-robot interactions. We thank all the authors and reviewers of the papers and hope this special issue will help readers better understand human-robot interaction in close distance.

Abstract
Background. A large body mass index (BMI) has been considered as a relative contraindication for percutaneous catheter insertion , although this technique has many advantages. Up to now, there are few studies on peritoneal catheter placement and obesity. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with large BMI can also choose the percutaneous technique for peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion. Methods. 187 consecutive patients underwent peritoneal catheter insertions in the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016, with 178 eligible cases being included in the analysis. Two groups were created based on the catheter insertion techniques, the percutaneous group (group P) and the surgical group (group S). Subgroups were created according to BMI>28 or≤28. The outcomes included catheter related complications and catheter survival. Results. Total infectious complication rates were significantly lower in group P than in group S. The late peritonitis rates tended to be lower in group P than in group S, although the difference was not significant. There were no significant differences in all other measured complications between the two groups. Though the one-year infection-free catheter survival in group P was 7.5% higher than group S, the difference was not significant. The one-year dysfunction-free catheter survival, one-year dysfunction-and-infection-free catheter survival, and overall catheter survival were similar between the two groups. Subgroup analyses showed a superior one-year infection-free catheter survival of percutaneous technique in patients with BMI>28, which was confirmed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Conclusions. Despite the challenges that may be encountered with patients who have a large BMI, the percutaneous technique is a safe and effective approach to placing a peritoneal dialysis catheter.

Abstract
Background Perineal pain due to episiotomy is commonly reported and can be severe enough to disturb the mother-infant dyad during the postpartum period. Its incidence at day 7 postpartum varies from 63% to 74%. Recent studies have already showed-investigated the analgesic efficacy of perineal infiltration of ropivacaine after episiotomy, but have only focused on the immediate postpartum period (at 24 and 48 hours after birth). Large, adequately powered, multicenter, randomized controlled trials are required to evaluate the impact of ropivacaine infiltration on perineal pain and quality of life at mid- and long-term quality of life before the widespread use of ropivacaine to prevent perineal pain after episiotomy can be recommended. Methods The ROPISIO study is a two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in La Roche sur Yon and Nantes, France. It will involve 272 women with vaginal singleton delivery and mediolateral episiotomy at term (≥ 37 weeks). Perineal infiltration (ropivacaine 75mg or placebo) will be administrated just after vaginal birth and before episiotomy repair. The primary outcome will be the analgesic efficacy at day 7 postpartum (mid-term), defined by the numerical scale of pain (ENS) strictly superior to 3/10 on the perineal repair area. Secondary outcomes will be the analgesic efficacy (ENS), the impact of pain on daily behavior, on the quality of life (36-Item Short Form Health Survey), on the occurrence of symptoms of postpartum depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and on sexuality (Female Sexual Function Index) at 3 and 6 months (long-term) using validated online questionnaires. This study will have 90% power to show a approximately 30% relative risk reduction in the incidence of perineal pain at day 7 from 70.0% to 50.0%. Discussion Ropivacaine was is a promising candidate drug, inexpensive, easy to administer, and easy to add on and would be suitable to include in the routine management of deliveries in labor ward. This study will investigate if perineal ropivacaine infiltration just after birth can reduce mid- and long-term postpartum pain and increase quality of life in women with mediolateral episiotomy.

Published: February 2020

AbstractBackground:The endocannabinoid system is involved in the regulation of periodontal tissue homeostasis. Synthetic cannabinoid methanandamide (Meth-AEA) has improved stability and affinity to cannabinoid receptors compared to its endogenous analog anandamide. In the present study, we investigated the effect of methanandamide on the production of pro-inflammatory mediators in primary human periodontal ligament cells (hPdLCs).Methods:hPdLCs were treated with Meth-AEA for 24 h, and the resulting production of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 was measured in the absence or the presence ofPorphyromonas gingivalislipopolysaccharide (LPS). Additionally, the effect of Meth-AEA on the proliferation/viability of hPdLCs was measured by MTT method.Results:Methanandamide at a concentration of 10 µM significantly inhibitedP. gingivalisLPS induced production of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1. Basal production of IL-6 and IL-8 was slightly enhanced by 10 µM Meth-AEA. No effect of Meth-AEA on the basal production of MCP-1 was observed. Meth-AEA in concentrations up to 10 µM did not affect the proliferation of hPdLCs, but significantly inhibited it at a concentration of 30 µM.Conclusion:Our study suggests that the inflammatory response in periodontal ligament cells could be influenced by the activation of the cannabinoid system, which might be potentially involved in the progression of periodontal disease.

Abstract
Background: Plant height, mainly decided by main stem height, is the major agronomic trait and closely correlated to crop yield. A number of studies had been conducted on model plants and crops to understand the molecular and genetic basis of plant height. However, little is known on the molecular mechanisms of peanut main stem height. Results: In this study, a semi-dwarf peanut mutant was identified from 60 Co γ-ray induced mutant population and designated as semi-dwarf mutant 2 ( sdm2 ). The height of sdm2 was only 59.3% of its wild line Fenghua 1 (FH1) at the mature stage. The sdm2 has less internode number and short internode length to compare with FH1. Gene expression profiles of stem and leaf from both sdm2 and FH1 were analyzed using high throughput RNA sequencing. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were involved in hormone biosynthesis and signaling pathways, cell wall synthetic and metabolic pathways. BR, GA and IAA biosynthesis and signal transduction pathways were significantly enriched. The expression of several genes in BR biosynthesis and signaling were found to be significantly down-regulated in sdm2 as compared to FH1. Many transcription factors encoding genes were identified as DEGs. Conclusions: A large number of genes were found differentially expressed between sdm2 and FH1. These results provide useful information for uncovering the molecular mechanism regulating peanut stem height. It could facilitate identification of causal genes for breeding peanut varieties with semi-dwarf phenotype.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Risk factors affecting the prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults were investigated. The aim was to identify new predictors for ARDS patient prognosis, including those with clinical, pathophysiological, and atypical immunodeficiency.
Methods: ARDS patients were retrospectively included. The patients were grouped and analysed according to different oxygenation index grades and prognosis, and factors influencing prognosis and survival were examined. Adolescent patients, patients with typical immunodeficiency and patients who died within 24 hours after being diagnosed with ARDS were excluded. The predictive value for mortality was determined by Cox proportional hazard analysis.
Results: In total, 201 patients who fulfilled the Berlin definition of ARDS were included. The severity of critical illness on the day of enrolment, as measured by the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score (P=0.016), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (P=0.027), and PaO2/FiO2 (P=0.000), worsened from mild to severe ARDS cases. Compared with survivors, non-survivors were significantly older and had higher APACHE II and SOFA scores. Moreover, significantly lower lymphocyte/neutrophil ratios and leukocyte counts were found among non-survivors than survivors (P=0.008, P=0.012). A moderate positive correlation between the lymphocyte/neutrophil and PaO2/FiO2 ratios (P=0.023) was observed. In predicting 100-day survival in patients with ARDS, the area under the curve (AUC) for the lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio was significantly higher than those for the PaO2/FiO2 ratio alone, body mass index (BMI) alone, and the lymphocyte count alone (P=0.0062, 0.0001, and 0.0154). Age (per log10 years), BMI<24, SOFA score, leukocyte count, and the lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio were independent predictors of 28-day mortality in ARDS patients. Additionally, ARDS patients with a lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio <0.0537 had increased 28-day mortality rates (P=0.0283). Old age affected both 28-day and 100-day mortality rates (P=0.0064,0.0057).
Conclusions: Age (per log10 years), BMI<24, SOFA score, lymphocytes, and the lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio were independent predictors of 100-day mortality in patients with ARDS. The lymphocyte/neutrophil ratio may represent a potential molecular marker to evaluate atypical immunosuppression or impairment in patients with ARDS.

Published: February 2020

AbstractBackground This prospective cohort study clinically evaluated the visual outcomes after refractive surgery for myopia using femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (femto-LASIK) and epipolis LASIK (flap-off). Methods Forty eyes of 27 patients were divided into 2 groups in this prospective cohort study. Femto-LASIK flaps were created using a femtosecond laser; epipolis LASIK flaps (flap-off) were made using and Epi-K TM epikeratome. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction (MR), corneal asphericity (Q-value), and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were assessed pre- and postoperatively. Results The improvement in LogMAR UDVA after refractive surgery was statistically significant for both groups ( P < 0.001 for all groups); it was significantly improved for femto-LASIK at 1 day and 1 week postoperatively ( P < 0.001, P = 0.019, respectively). In analysis of the front and total corneal HOAs, there were significant differences in spherical aberrations (Z 4,0 ) between the femto-LASIK and flap-off epipolis LASIK groups ( P = 0.016 and P = 0.017, respectively). In analysis of the back corneal HOAs, there were significant differences in vertical coma (Z 3,-1 ) aberration 0.027 ± 0.027 μm (femto-LASIK) and 0.001 ± 0.034 μm (flap-off epipolis LASIK); horizontal secondary astigmatism (Z 4,2 ) aberration -0.008 ± 0.012 μm (femto-LASIK) and 0.007 ± 0.018 μm (flap-off epipolis LASIK); oblique tetrafoil (Z 4,-4 ) aberration -0.008 ± 0.029 μm (femto-LASIK) and 0.015 ± 0.026 μm (flap-off epipolis LASIK), respectively ( P = 0.018, P = 0.007, and P = 0.022, respectively). However, the back corneal HOA changes did not have a significant effect on the total corneal HOA changes. Conclusion Femto-LASIK yielded better early visual outcomes than that by flap-off epipolis LASIK, but there was no significant difference between the outcomes of the 2 procedures 1 week postoperatively.

Abstract
Background: Evidence-based practice in geriatric oncology is growing, and national initiatives have focused on expanding cancer care and research to improve health outcomes of older adults. However, there are still gaps between knowledge and practice for older adults with cancer.Methods: Here we provide a detailed methodology of geriatric oncology care delivery within a single institution. The Cancer and Aging Resiliency (CARE) clinic is a multidisciplinary approach for implementing geriatric-driven health care for older adults with cancer. The CARE clinic was developed as a direct response to recommendations targeting key multifactorial geriatric health conditions (e.g. falls, nutritional deficits, sensory loss, cognitive impairment, frailty, multiple chronic conditions, and functional status). The multidisciplinary team assesses and delivers a comprehensive set of recommendations, all in one clinic visit, to minimize burden on the patient and the caregiver. The CARE clinic consultative model is a novel approach integrating cancer subspecialties with geriatric oncology healthcare delivery.Conclusions: Older adults with cancer have a unique needs that independent of routine oncology care. The CARE clinic model provides specific assessments and interventions to improve outcomes among older adults with cancer.
Role of verbal and non-verbal communication of health care providers in general satisfaction with birth care: A cross-sectional study in government health settings of Erbil City, Iraq
Authors: Ahmed Hamdia Mirkhan 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Effective communication by maternity care staff can help a woman during labor and birth have a positive birth experience. Due to limited knowledge regarding this topic in Iraqi Kurdistan, therefore, this study assessed: 1) The level of women’s satisfaction regarding verbal and non-verbal communication of midwives and physicians in the delivery room and 2) the association between this satisfaction level and socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics of the women and their general satisfaction with care during labor and delivery. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenient sample of 1196 women recruited between January and March 2019 from Erbil city, Iraq, who gave birth in the year before that. Data were collected from women through direct interview. A questionnaire which included sociodemographic, obstetrical information and 28 items related to verbal and non-verbal communication of physicians and midwives in the delivery room was used. Chi-square tests were used to find the association between dependent and independent variables. Results: Although 58.4% of the women were generally satisfied with communication of midwives and physicians in the delivery room, a large percentage (41.6%) were not satisfied. Only 14.6% and 27.3% of the women were completely satisfied with verbal and non-verbal communication of health care providers, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between women’s satisfaction with care during labor and their satisfaction with health care providers’ communication; 70.4% of women who were satisfied with care during birth were also satisfied with the communication of delivery room staff. There were statistically significant associations between the satisfaction of women with the communication of midwives and physicians and their level of education, parity, having stillbirth or neonatal death, and the setting of the last delivery. Conclusions: Women’s satisfaction with verbal and nonverbal communication of health care providers in the delivery room is associated with their satisfaction with birth care. Improving communication skills of health care providers can be a considerable part of improving care in delivery room.
