this study aims at using a deductive reasoning to extract several hypotheses from patriarchy, subordination, alienation and perceived relative deprivation theories to establish an empirical association between patriarchy as an independent variable and perceived relative deprivation and alienation of women as a dependent variable. specifically, the study attempts to answer the question: does pat...

Ginzburg-Landau theory of continuous phase transitions implicitly assumes that microscopic changes are negligible in determining the thermodynamic properties system. In this work we provide an example clearly contrasts with assumption. We show topological frustration can change nature a second order quantum transition separating two different ordered phases. Even more remarkably, is triggered s...
