Genre et migration, une approche juridique pour le cas du Mali
Gender is becoming increasingly important in different fields including migration. The paper examines some legal aspects linked to gender and migration as far as Mali is concerned. It especially tackles issues related to family reunification, personal status, right of asylum, protection of vulnerable persons, as well as discrimination.

Besides, incompatibilities between rules concerning the personal status of Malian women and rules in host countries create complicated situations for immigrant women. Regarding the right of asylum, protection of vulnerable persons and discrimination issues, specific provisions focusing on female migrants are scarce. The status of migrant women is thus analyzed through rules applying to Malian migration in general. The relative lack of consideration of gender issues does not work in the favor of female migrants.

Si, dans les annees soixante-dix, elle etait admise en Amerique Latine — dont les grandes villes recevaient un nombre tres important de jeunes femmes rurales (3,8 millions entre 1960 et 1970) a tel point que la sex-ratio en etait inversee — on continuait a la nier dans les villes africaines par exemple au nom de la « solidarite » familiale, ma...
Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications
A network, such as wired and/or wireless LAN, is configured to have both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. The point-to-multipoint connection(s) is used to communicate information between a plurality of the stations (or modem, or transceivers) in the network, whereas the point-to-point connection(s) are used to communicate information between only 2 stations in the network with the ability to, for example, maximize performance (rate/reach/BER/latency/etc) between those two stations. A master station allocates one or more frequency bands to the various point-to-multipoint and point-to-point connections.
