Researches show that a positive intimate couple relationship and the rise of female status can help maintain the harmonious marriage and family, thus promoting social harmony and stability. Husband-wife intimacy and female status can be well mirrored in regular conducts between them like sleeping ways, touching, spending leisure time together, making co-decision and sharing household chores etc. It is culture that affects and constructs husband-wife intimate relationship and female status. Hence, the exploration of cultural characteristics and value connotation behind is needed.展开更多

The sample size was about 14,000 women in the reproductive and productive ages of 15-49 and about 6,000 men in the age brackets of 15-59. The reasons for wife beating by husbands are examined against some selected independent background variables of the sampled men and women respondents, while the dependent variables are the responses to questions of wife beating. With respect to the analytical model, the author decided to focus on some descriptive statistics, such as frequency distributions tables, proportions, comparative analysis, and application of chi-squares （Xz） techniques to examine the variations in the responses of women and men amongst the independent backgrounds.展开更多

Although being influenced by the traditional dichotomy of women, Wilde does try to add some personal elements during this process. In one of his social comedies, An Ideal Husband, this wildean characteristic is more obvious. This essay attempts to reveal those hidden images which are employed by Wilde to represent his female characters and tries to show the Wilde's improvement of the traditional dichotomy.展开更多

We examined the influence of uterine malformations on reproductive outcomes following AIH and the optimum number of AIH cycles before resorting to IVF-embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Methods: We retrospectively recruited 168 patients with uterine malformations(anomalous group) undergoing AIH between January 2011 and December 2016. Meanwhile, 168 patients with infertility but with normal uteri(normal group) were matched as controls according to age.Results: The clinical pregnancy rate was similar in both groups(12.4% vs. 12.3%, P=0.950); the cancellation(21.6% vs. 4.4%, P< 0.001),early pregnancy loss(35.7% vs. 11.4%, P = 0.032), and preterm birth rates(21.4% vs. 2.9%, P = 0.038) were higher in the anomalous group,resulting in lower term birth(32.1 % vs. 74.3%, P =0.001) and live birth rates(50.0% vs. 77.1 %, P = 0.034). After two AIH cycles, the clinical pregnancy rate was lower(3.6% vs. 23.1%, P = 0.037) among women with uterine anomalies than among those with normal uteri. There was no difference in the pregnancy rates(52.5% vs. 53.7%, P= 0.908) between the two groups of patients with unsuccessful AIH who then underwent IVF-ET.Conclusions: IVF-ET can be performed immediately after two unsuccessful AIH cycles in patients with uterine malformations. In patients undergoing AIH or IVF, uterine malformations increase the risk of adverse obstetric outcomes.展开更多

They battle against wind, waves, loneliness and monotony. Their profession requires not only bravery and endurance from the employees themselves, but also from their spouses. It is because of the wives’support that the husbands can work at sea. This,for women, means double family responsibilities, loneliness, worries and endless waiting.展开更多
