Advanced robotics as a support in healthcare organizational response: A COVID-19 pandemic case study

The use of robotics is becoming widespread in healthcare. However, little is known about how robotics can affect the relationship with patients during an emergency or how it impacts clinicians in their organization and work. As a hospital responding to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic \u201cASST dei Sette Laghi\u201d (A7L) in Varese, Italy, had to react quickly to protect its staff from infection while coping with high budgetary pressure as prices of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) increased rapidly. In response, it introduced six semi-autonomous robots to mediate interactions between staff and patients. Thanks to the cooperation of multiple departments, A7L implemented the solution in less than 10 weeks. It reduced risks to staff and outlay for PPE. However, the characteristics of the robots affected staff's perceptions. This case study reviews critical issues faced by A7L in introducing these devices and recommendations for the path forward

O efeito da infidelidade sobre a atratividade facial de homens e mulheres The effect of infidelity on male and female facial attractiveness

Os estudos da atratividade e da seleção de parceiros têm recebido atenção especial dentro da perspectiva da Psicologia Evolucionista, mostrando influências tanto de fatores físicos quanto de fatores não-físicos. Neste estudo, utilizou-se de fotografias da face de homens e mulheres, pré-julgados como medianamente atraentes, desconhecidos dos participantes, associadas a uma história neutra ou que envolvia comportamento de infidelidade, para avaliar a influência de informação sobre o comportamento de infidelidade na avaliação da atratividade de indivíduos do sexo oposto. Os resultados mostraram diferenças significativas apenas quando as mulheres avaliavam fotografias de homens, atribuindo menor atratividade a homens associados à história de infidelidade. As diferenças entre homens e mulheres podem refletir mecanismos adaptativos para a avaliação da atratividade do sexo oposto relacionados às diferenças nos custos reprodutivos. Esses resultados são discutidos sob a perspectiva da Psicologia Evolucionista.<br>Studies of attractiveness and mate selection have received special attention within the Evolutionary Psychology perspective, showing influences from both physical and non-physical factors. In the present study, we used photographs showing faces of men and women, pre-judged as median attractive people, unknown to the participants, associated with neutral stories or stories involving infidelity behavior, to investigate the influence of information about infidelity behavior on the evaluation of attractiveness of opposite sex individuals. Results showed significant differences only when women evaluated men's photographs, attributing lower attractiveness to men associated with a story of infidelity. The sex differences found may represent adapted mechanisms to evaluate opposite sex attractiveness related to differences in reproductive costs. These results are discussed mainly under the Evolutionary Psychology perspective
