description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

The development of inexpensive carbon fiber precursors is necessary to meet the future demands of carbon fibers. This work shows how asphaltenes, which are obtained as a by-product in bitumen production, can play an important role as such inexpensive carbon fiber precursors. To synthesize carbon fibers from asphaltene, stabilization by means of oxidizing acids (HNO3 and H2SO4) was developed. Stabilization could not be achieved by a non-oxidizing acid (HCl). The reactions leading to fiber stabilization was investigated for nitric acid treatment, which led to oxidation and the incorporation of nitro-groups. Further thermal treatment caused an increase in C/H ratio that was related to decomposition of nitro-groups, which facilitated air oxidation and other reactions leading to the loss of volatile hydrogen-rich products, such as light hydrocarbons. Additionally, the influence of the acid concentration during treatment on fiber properties, such as fiber diameter, composition, tensile strength and elastic modulus, has been examined. The application of the acid treatment leads to carbon fibers with good tensile properties, with a tensile strength and elastic modulus of 811 MPa and 32.7 GPa, respectively. The overall yield of carbon fibers is 37 – 38 wt.%.

description: Poly (styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) (P(S-co-MMA)) was blended with pristine graphene (G) by melt mixing technique and treated under microwave irradiation. The anocomposites were irradiated for 5 and 10 min at frequency 1245 MHz.Structure changes in the irradiated nanocomposites were observed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The irradiated composites showed a significant increase in the storage modulus i.e. 21% for 0.1% and 31% for 1% graphene polymer composites after 5 min irradiation. However at higher irradiation (10 min), degradation of nanocomposites was observed. The concept of improvement of interfacial interaction between graphene and P(S-co-MMA) chains at 5-min microwave exposure and degradation of nanocomposites at higher irradiation duration was assessed and supported by X-ray diffraction and canning electron microscopy.

description: The effect of modified graphene (MG) and microwave irradiation on the interaction between graphene (G) and poly(styrene-comethyl meth acrylate) [P(S-co-MMA)] polymer matrix has been studied in this article. Modification of graphene was performed using nitric acid. P(S-co-MMA) polymer was blended via melt blending with pristine and MG. The resultant nanocomposites were irradiated under microwave at three different time intervals (5, 10, and 20 min). Compared to pristine graphene, MG showed improved interaction with P(S-co-MMA) polymer (P) after melt mixing and microwave irradiation. The mechanism of improveddispersion and interaction of modified graphenewith P(S-co-MMA) polymer matrix during melt mixing andmicrowave irradiationis due to the presence of oxygen functionalities on the surface of MG as confirmed from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The formation of defects onmodified graphene and free radicals on P(S-co-MMA) polymer chains after irradiation as explained byRaman spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction studies. The nanocomposites with 0.1wt% G and MG have shown a 26% and 38% increase in storage modulus. After irradiation (10 min), the storage modulus further improved to 11.9% and 27.6% of nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature of nanocomposites also improved considerably after melt mixing and microwave irradiation (but only for polymer MG nanocomposite). However, at higher irradiation time (20 min), degradation of polymer nanocomposites occurred. State of creation of crosslink network after 10min of irradiation and degradation after 20 min of irradiation of nanocomposites was confirmed from SEM studies.

description: Purpose: Despite the high prevalence of primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD-1), its underlying mechanisms and their interrelationships have yet to be fully identified. The objectives of this integrative review were (a) to describe and classify the suggested underlying mechanisms for MTD-1, (b) to appraise the empirical evidence supporting each of the proposed mechanisms, and (c) to summarize the information in an integrative model. Method: PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL were searched for all publications pertaining to muscle tension dysphonia. Papers were retained if they included theoretical or empirical data pertaining to underlying mechanisms of MTD-1. A total of 921 papers initially qualified for screening, of which 100 remained for consideration in this review. Underlying mechanisms of MTD-1 were extracted using a consensus approach. Results: Seven broad categories of putative mechanisms involved in MTD-1 were identified: psychosocial, autonomic, sensorimotor, respiratory, postural, inflammatory, and neuromuscular. These categories were further divided into 19 subcategories detailed in the body of this review article. Based on the reviewed evidence, our proposed integrative model presents MTD-1 as an idiosyncratic motor adaptation to physiological perturbation or perceived threat. Under this model, physiologically or psychologically aversive stimuli can instigate a series of motor adaptations at multiple levels of the nervous system, ultimately disturbing muscle activation patterns and their biomechanical outcomes. Importantly, these adaptations appear to have the potential to become chronic even after threatening stimuli are withdrawn. Conclusions: The proposed model highlights the importance of personalized rehabilitation in MTD-1 treatment. Limitations of the literature are discussed to provide guidance for future research aimed at improving our understanding of MTD-1.

Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are a unique class of chemical compounds that can be switched between their hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms. The switchable characteristics allow SHSs to be used as emerging, green solvents for sustainable extraction and separation technology. In the production of polymeric microparticles from recycled plastics, SHSs are used to dissolve the polymer and then are switched to the hydrophilic form for separation from the generated polymeric microparticles. However, it is extremely difficult to fully recover the SHS residue from the mixtures. In this work, we will identify the key parameters that determine the level of the solvent residue during the switched-on dissolution of emulsion microdroplets. The SHS N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine from solvent–polymer binary emulsion droplets was switched to the hydrophilic, water-soluble form, triggered by addition of an acid in the surrounding aqueous phase. By applying a sensitive detection method developed in this work, we compared the levels of SHS residue in polymer microparticles obtained under 30 different dynamical and chemical conditions for the switching processes. The quantitative analysis revealed that residue levels remained constant at varied addition rates and concentration of the trigger solution, but decreased with the increase in organic phase fractions or the decrease in the emulsion temperature. Trapped water in the drops during switched-on dissolution may have contributed to the high level of solvent residue. The understanding of the new possible mechanism for residual solvent reported in this work may help develop effective approaches for the recovery of switchable solvents in environmentally friendly separation processes.
Principles of Learning in Multitask Settings: A Probabilistic Perspective

description: Today, machine learning is transitioning from research to widespread deployment. This transition requires algorithms that can learn from heterogeneous datasets and models that can operate in complex, often multitask settings. So, is there a set of principles we could follow when designing models and algorithms for such settings? In this thesis, we approach this question from a probabilistic perspective, develop a declarative framework for representing, analyzing, and solving different multitask learning problems, and consider multiple case studies ranging from multi-agent games, to multilingual translation, to federated learning and personalization. The ideas presented in this thesis are organized as follows. First, we introduce our core probabilistic multitask modeling framework. Starting with a general definition of a learning task, we show how multiple related tasks can be assembled into and represented by a joint probabilistic model. We then ddefine differrnt notions of generalization in multitask settings and demonstrate how to derive practical learning algorithms and consistent objective functions that enable certain types of generalization using techniques from probabilistic learning and inference. Next, we illustrate our proposed framework thorough multiple concrete case studies. Each of our case studies is an independent vignette that focuses on a particular domain and showcases the versatility of our framework. Not only we reinterpret different problems from a probabilistic standpoint, but we also develop new learning algorithms and inference techniques that improve upon the current state-of-the-art in each of the considered domains.
Towards Knowledge-capable AI: Agents that See, Speak, Act and Know

description: The field of artificial intelligence has been interested in knowledge since its early days, using carefully crafted rules and curated knowledge from humans to build effective expert systems. Since then, many fields, such as computer vision and natural language processing, have been dominated by large-scale end-to-end learning using large datasets. This has often left knowledge as an afterthought for many important problems. However, as our performance on marquee challenges and datasets such as the ImageNet Challenge [294] saturates and the field becomes more concerned with problems such as large-category recognition and problems of full embodied AI (agents that require understanding of multiple modalities), knowledge will become even more important. In this thesis, we argue that to achieve the goal of clever robots, or embodied AI, we need to deal with all three modalities of vision, language and action. We further argue that knowledge is the critical piece to in connect these modalities. In our contributions, we show different slices of these cross-modalities to come to an understanding of how knowledge can be used to join these modalities. First, we look at how to incorporate knowledge into neural network architectures in vision problems. Next, we examine how we can combine the modalities of vision and language. We introduce a benchmark for vision and language that requires models with the capability to bring in and reason about knowledge about the world. Then we develop a method on that dataset which combines two types of knowledge: knowledge graphs and implicit knowledge from large language models. We then examine the action modality by first showing that by using the knowledge inherent in language models to solve a highly complex, semantic crafting task. Then, we apply knowledge in the robotics setting of task-oriented grasping and see how we can use knowledge to allow agents to perform tasks on never before seen object categories and new tasks. Finally, we start to move in the opposite direction and look at how knowledge can be created. We show how an action policy can be used by agents to build up their own knowledge of the world.

description: Introduction: The Wilms' tumor (WT) is the 5th most common malignancy and the most common renal tumor in children. The vast majority of these tumors is manifested in the first five years of life. The most frequent metastases sites are: lung, liver, bone, brain or distant lymph nodes.Objective: To describe a patient case with WT and intracardiac extension through patient records and literature review.Methodology: case reportResults: FIS, sex: female, 3 years old. Admitted with a history of 2 months ago starting with abdominal pain that led to evacuate hard stools, covered with bright red blood. Subsequently developed fever and a small mass at left flank, weight loss and intense pallor. She underwent abdominal ultrasonography which showed a large solid abdominal tumor, lobulated, with lacunar areas completely occupying renal compartment. Physical examination at admission: the patient was irritated, pale, feverish, with ronchi at lung auscultation and a systolic murmur. Abdomen: distended, painful on palpation in right hypochondrium, with a hardened mass of defined contours, irregular, extending to the umbilical region without crossing midline, also palpable in the lumbar region. As to the labs: anemia, LDH = 2477, CT abdomen with signs of thrombosis in the vena cava and neoplastic formation in the kidney suggestive of WT. Chemotherapy was started. The child developed congestive heart failure (CHF) and a Doppler echocardiogram was performed which revealed tumor filling almost entirely the right atrium and ventricle, mitral and tricuspid insufficiency and a small pericardial effusion. Specific therapy for CHF was started. The child had clinical improvement, reduction in tumor mass in renal and cardiac areas and was discharged for outpatient follow-up.Conclusion: In the case reported it was observed that there was tumor spread from kidney to vena cava and extension to the heart.This is an abstract of a poster presented at the III Pediatric Congress of Ceara, 2005, published at Revista de Pediatria do Ceara, 6(2):48.

description: Metastasis are secondary tumors that grow from heterogenous cell populations of primary malignant tumors. This phenomenon possibly occur when these cellular populations escape from immunologic surveillance and colonize in distant sites. These secondary tumors are responsible for death in the majority of patients bearing malignant neoplasms. On the other hand, the participation of the immune system is important in some tumors to reduce the malignancy. The subject of this work was to check the influence of Cyclosporine (CS), a immunosupressive drug widely used in organ transplantation, in the development of metastasis from a low malignant primary tumor (fibrohistiocytoma TEGS2047) injected subcutaneously (106 viable clump-free cells). The study was performed in young adult Wistar rats (4-6 weeks old), where the cells exhibited the capacity to grow tumors in 100% of the inoculated animals. Our results showed that in the animals treated with CS (10mg/kg/daily) subcutaneously, the incidence of lung metastasis increased from 4 to 70%, as well as, the growth rate of the primary tumors (p,0.05). These findings suggest the active participation of CS in the inhibition of mechanisms involved in the immunologic surveillance of this tumor. They also corroborate other results from different authors showing increased incidence of malignant tumors in transplanted patients treated with CS.Revista de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Ceará, 34(1-2):1-12, 1994

description: Hemangiomas, the most common type of tumor in children, are the result of the proliferation of blood vessels. The evolution is typical: lesions start out barely visible but grow very quickly during the first months of life (proliferative stage). They eventually stabilize, then regress spontaneously sometime between 3 and 9 years of age. However, large hemangiomas may last well into adolescence and produce significant scars. Approximately 24% of children with hemangiomas experience complications and require treatment. The first choice is systemic corticoid therapy (effective in 90% of cases) but high doses and prolonged treatment (>3 months) are necessary, most patients respond only partially and adverse effects are common. Interferon alfa and vincristine have been shown to be effective in limited series, but progress is slow and side effects can be severe. Recently introduced, treatment with propranolol at normal concentrations is reported to produce excellent short and mid-term results. Due to its good safety profile, some authors indicate propranolol as the first choice in the treatment of complicated hemangiomas in children.

description: Breakthroughs in machine learning in the last decade have led to `digital intelligence', i.e. machine learning models capable of learning from vast amounts of labeled data to perform several digital tasks such as speech recognition, face recognition, machine translation and so on. The goal of this thesis is to make progress towards designing algorithms capable of `physical intelligence', i.e. building intelligent autonomous navigation agents capable of learning to perform complex navigation tasks in the physical world involving visual perception, natural language understanding, reasoning, planning, and sequential decision making. Despite several advances in classical navigation methods in the last few decades, current navigation agents struggle at long-term semantic navigation tasks. In the first part of the thesis, we discuss our work on shortterm navigation using end-to-end reinforcement learning to tackle challenges such as obstacle avoidance, semantic perception, language grounding, and reasoning In the second part, we present a new class of navigation methods based on modular learning and structured explicit map representations, which leverage the strengths of both classical and end-to-end learning methods, to tackle long-term navigation tasks. We show that these methods are able to effectively tackle challenges such as localization, mapping, long-term planning, exploration and learning semantic priors. These modular learning methods are capable of long-term spatial and semantic understanding and achieve state-of-the-art results on various navigation tasks.

Typological datasets for quantitative historical linguistic inquiry are growing in breadth, but a challenge is also to increase their depth, since advanced methods often ideally require many hundreds of traits per language. Using biphone transition probabilities from phonemicized vocabulary data, we extract several hundred high-definition phonotactic traits per language, for 17 languages in the Ngumpin-Yapa and Yolngu subgroups of the Pama-Nyungan family, Australia. We detect phylogenetic signal at a significant level (p < 0.001 for both subgroups), measured against a reference phylogeny inferred from basic vocabulary cognacy data. This contrasts with simpler, binary coding of biphones’ occurrence, which provides insufficient detail for the detection of phylogenetic signal. Thus, we demonstrate the viability of a new method in quantitative historical linguistics, and emphasize the inferential power to be harnessed from high-definition, trait-rich datasets for comparative research.

description: Bipolar electrochemistry enables wireless and spatially controlled redox reactions on (semi) conductive objects immersed in an electrolyte. Here, we investigate advanced bipolar electrochemistry applications using flexible bipolar electrodes coated with hybrid films of conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and alginate hydrogels. These coatings allow for the wireless creation of reversible redox and chemical gradients, providing targeted drug loading and energy harvesting opportunities. We use cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to characterize distinct redox regions within the bipolar electrode. The wireless and selective loading of a model drug, fluorescein, into the hydrogel, demonstrated control over drug distribution, suggesting an alternative to conventional uniform doping techniques. Furthermore, cutting the gradient-encoded bipolar electrode and closing an external circuit between the halves, enables energy recovery through a concentration cell mechanism. Our findings illustrate the potential of bipolar electrochemistry in creating versatile platforms that bridge materials science, electrochemistry, and bioelectronics for innovative biomedical and energy applications.

Abstract
Aponermin (沙艾特) is a recombinant circularly permuted human tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) developed by Beijing Sunbio Biotech (a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Hiteck Biological Pharma CO., LTD) for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Aponermin binds to and activates the death receptors 4 and/or 5 on tumour cells, triggering intracellular caspase reactions and inducing apoptosis, thereby exerting antitumor effects. In November 2023, aponermin in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone received its first approval in China for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of aponermin leading to this first approval for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Typological datasets for quantitative historical linguistic inquiry are growing in breadth, but a challenge is also to increase their depth, since advanced methods often ideally require many hundreds of traits per language. Using biphone transition probabilities from phonemicized vocabulary data, we extract several hundred high-definition phonotactic traits per language, for 17 languages in the Ngumpin-Yapa and Yolngu subgroups of the Pama-Nyungan family, Australia. We detect phylogenetic signal at a significant level (p < 0.001 for both subgroups), measured against a reference phylogeny inferred from basic vocabulary cognacy data. This contrasts with simpler, binary coding of biphones’ occurrence, which provides insufficient detail for the detection of phylogenetic signal. Thus, we demonstrate the viability of a new method in quantitative historical linguistics, and emphasize the inferential power to be harnessed from high-definition, trait-rich datasets for comparative research.

Solar-driven photodegradation for water treatment faces challenges such as low energy conversion rates, high maintenance costs, and over-sensitivity to the environment. In this study, we develop reusable concave microlens arrays (MLAs) for more efficient solar photodegradation by optimizing light distribution. Concave MLAs with the base radius of 5 μm are fabricated by imprinting convex MLAs to polydimethylsiloxane elastomers. Concave MLAs possess a non-contact reactor configuration, preventing MLAs from detaching or being contaminated. By precisely controlling the solvent exchange, concave MLAs

are fabricated with well-defined curvature and adjustable volume on femtoliter scale. The focusing effects of MLAs are examined, and good agreement is presented between experiments and simulations. The photodegradation efficiency

of organic pollutants in water is significantly enhanced by 5.1-fold, attributed to higher intensity at focal points of concave MLAs. Furthermore, enhanced photodegradation by concave MLAs is demonstrated under low light irradiation, applicable to real river water and highly turbid water.

description: These figures investigate scalability of PM7/PM7-MD (note that scalability of PM7-MD by 99% depends on the scalability of MOPAC2012 by James Stewart (Stewart Computational Chemistry).

(a) Number of PM7-MD time-steps per hour vs. number of processor cores / number of threads.
(b) Speed-up coefficient vs. number of processor cores / number of threads.

Conclusion: A good scalability is observed up to 4 cores per job. From 4 to 8 cores, the observed performance increase is very poor. Beyond 8 cores, the performance of the code suffers clearly.
Towards Robust and Resilient Machine Learning

description: Some common assumptions when building machine learning pipeline are: (1) the training data is sufficiently “clean” and well-behaved, so that there are few or no outliers, or that the distribution of the data does not have very long tails, (2) the testing data follows the same distribution as the training data, and (3) the data is generated from or is close to a known model class, such as a linear model or neural network. However, with easier access to computer, internet and various sensor-based technologies, modern data sets that arise in various branches of science and engineering are no longer carefully curated and are often collected in a decentralized, distributed fashion. Consequently, they are plagued with the complexities of heterogeneity, adversarial manipulations, and outliers. As we enter this age of dirty data, the aforementioned assumptions of machine learning pipelines are increasingly indefensible. For the widespread adoption of Machine Learning, we believe that it is imperative that any model should have the following three basic elements: • Robustness: The model can be trained even with noisy and corrupted data. • Reliability: After training and when deployed in the real-world, the model should not break down under benign shifts of the distribution. • Resilience: The modeling procedure should work under model mis-specification, i.e. even when the modeling assumption breaks down, the model should find the best possible solution. In this thesis, our goal is modify state of the art ML techniques and design new algorithms so that they work even without the aforementioned assumptions, and are robust, reliable and resilient. Our contributions are as follows: In chapter 2, we provide a new class of statisically-optimal estimators that are provably robust to a variety of robustness settings, such as arbitrary contamination, and heavy-tailed data, among others. In Chapter 3, we complement our statistical optimal estimators with a new class of computationally-efficient estimators for robust risk minimization. These results provide some of the first computationally tractable and provably robust estimators for general statistical models such linear regression, logistic regression, among others. In Chapter 4, we study the problem of learning Ising models in a setting where some of the samples from the underlying distribution can be arbitrarily corrupted. Finally, in Chapter 5, we discuss implications of our results for modern machine learning.

Figs. 78-92, Map 6
Thyanta spectabilis Ruckes, 1957c: 175- 178, figs. 3-4.
Thyantaperditor (ofauthors, not Fabricius): Van Duzee, 1923:127.
Diagnosis. Rubiginous transhumeral band usually present; often tylus and vertex of head reddish.
Lateraljugal margins sinuous, not parallel (Fig. 79). Anterolateral pronotal margins concave, not piceous; humeral angles spinose, spines directed primarily laterad and only slightly cephalad (Fig. 78). Mesial comer of each pronotal cicatrice usually piceous. Each abdominal stemite with postspiracular black spot on each side, anterolateral and posterolateral angles piceous.
Basal plates in caudoventral view with mesial margins straight to slightly convex; separated basally; posterior margins sinuous (Fig. 80). Spermathecal bulb digitiform, but with numerous short protuberances (Fig. 82). Pygophoral opening subtended by semicircular impression; posterior margin of pygophore produced posterodorsad, in ventral and dorsal views convex medially with small, medial V-shaped emargination (Figs. 84, 85); slightly concave in lateral view (Fig. 86).
Types. Ruckes (1957c) described Thyanta spectabilis from 255 and 6!i?!i? specimens, all from Baja California, Mexico. The 5 holotype was examined and is presently conserved in the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco).
Distribution. Baja California, Mexico (Map 6).
Specimens examined. 17 specimens collected during every month ofthe year except February, April, September, and October; deposited in CAS, DBT, UCB, UIM, UNAM, USNM. MEXICO: Lower California; 2 km W El Centemario. Baja California Norte: Bahia de los Angeles. Baja California Sur: Cabo San Lucas; 28 mi S El Arco Mine, Rancho Santa Marguerita; 2 mi E El Coyote, NE of La Paz; 6 mi S, l mi E El Pescadero; La Paz; 6 km S San Pedro; Santa Anita; 7 mi N Santa Anita; 2 km SE, 3.5 km NE Santa Rita; 21.6 mi N Todos Santos; Venancio.
Comments. Thyanta spectabilis is very closely related to T. perditor, and may actually be a subspecies of that species. The genitalia of the two species are virtually identical; the only difference is that the parameres in T. spectabilis are somewhat larger than those in T. perditor. This is expected, however, since specimens of T. spectabilis are larger than those of T. perditor. The only reliable character to separate the two species is the orientation of the humeral spine. In T. perditor the humeral angle is directed anterolaterad, while in T. spectabilis it is directed primarily laterad and only slightly cephalad.

description: The trajectory of violence in the lives of women engaging in transborder mobility can be plotted along a continuum where the border becomes one moment and site of violence in a series of violent experiences. Being masculinised and militarised the border becomes the breeding ground for gender–based violence. In this context, the paper discusses the experiences of violence in the lives of Bangladeshi women in Correctional Homes in Kolkata. Their narratives suggest that perpetrators and sites of violence change but the Indo-Bangladesh border remains central to their experiences of violence. This paper focuses on the violence experienced by these women before crossing the border, while crossing the border to come to India, during their stay in India and while returning to Bangladesh; coupled with emotions of fear, anxiety and shame. Their experiences of violence need to be seen in the context of their non-normative ways of being – their challenge to the norms instituted for women by the family, state and society. Their so–called deviations from normative modes of behaviour put them in situations of extreme vulnerability.
