Abstract:

The history of the town of Mokolo, in the heart of the land of the Mafa (in northern Cameroon), exhibits a specific pattern of urbanisation that seems characteristic of Islamic frontier zones generally in Africa. The town was founded as a settlement for converted slaves towards the end of the nineteenth century by Fulbe chiefs who regularly raided the area. Since that time urbanisation has largely gone hand in hand with Islamisation. It has involved, therefore, a marked change of identity for Mafa converts in the town, with drastic consequences for their relationship with their areas of origin

Abstract:

The article presents a historical-social excursus on the criminality of women and on the stereotypes and prejudices that have long obscured a real understanding of the phenomenon: in the history of ideas, in medicine, in jurisprudence, in the media and in the various social representations. Analyzing their different roles, from the socialization of children to the mafia mentality, but also the central role of some women in the rebellion against the mafia, is a necessary path for a deeper reflection of the phenomenon.

Abstract Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease and a public health issue with increasing prevalence in Mexico. This disease is caused by an imbalance in the bone remodelling process mediated by osteoclast and osteoblast.

We found high expression levels of miR-548x-3p in circulating monocytes derived from postmenopausal osteoporotic women.

The paper demonstrates that the resistance is based on three reasons: (1) Depictions of traumatic realities in prostitution with four factors related to India's prostitution, (2) Representation of the objectification of female bodies observed thr
