After the two world wars, AIDS is without a doubt the worst calamity of modern times and the number one problem of this decade. It is quite surprising that Nostradamus did not predict that a phenomenon such as AIDS would be among the cataclysms of the modern area. Perhaps he thought that medical science would at this point be so advanced that such a disease could be conquered without us insurers losing our shirts. In actual fact, AIDS is a very serious problem which must be addressed before it is too late.

Analysis of the film Poor Things by director Yorgos Lanthimos. A pregnant woman, Bella, throws herself off a bridge to kill herself. A mad doctor retrieves the corpse and replaces the mother's brain with that of the foetus she is carrying. In an adult body, we see a child developing through the ages to maturity. Bella learns about social behaviour, sexuality and freedom of thought by exploring the world and reading. In turn, she becomes a doctor, carrying out transformations on the bodies of living beings, both animal and human. The film inspires a number of philosophical and ethical reflections and illustrates female emancipation.

The article examines the depiction of female Baghdadi Jewish characters in three works: Gay Courter’s English novel Flowers in the Blood (2002), Saadat Hasan Manto’s Urdu short story Mozelle (1951), and Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s Bengali story Makorshar Rosh (1933). It explores a murder case from Calcutta Jewry through the eyes of Courter’s protagonist Dinah Sassoon, a prevalent vice among the poorer Baghdadis through the character of a Jewish prostitute, Mozelle, and the role of Baghdadis in drug-trafficking through the character of Rebecca Light. The 21st century novel offers a nuanced understanding of characters, while the earlier short stories reflect their authors’ stereotypical understanding of their contemporary society.

Incarcerated women experience specific violences that impede their access to criminal justice. Currently, these structural, institutional, and symbolic violences remain poorly documented and sometimes unrecognized. In this literature review, we examine a document base consisting of fifty‑two scientific articles focusing particularly on women's physical and mental health, their experiences of victimization and trauma, their detention conditions and treatment, their reintegration into the community and social reinsertion, as well as their experience of motherhood. After giving an overview of the approaches and methodologies employed by researchers, we highlight the violences endured by incarcerated women and the mechanisms that could be mobilized to counteract them.
