Financial Accounting Practices and Their Role in Organizational Reporting and Decision-Making
type: item
description: One kind of accounting is known as financial accounting, and it is the process of recording, summarising, and reporting financial transactions that are the outcome of corporate activities that take place over a period of time. The preparation of accounts, which include the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement, all of which reflect the financial results of the company over a specific period of time, is where such activities are documented for posterity. Accounts include the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement. The role of a Financial Accountant may be found in both the public sector and the private sector of the economy. A general accountant is someone who works for themselves rather than for a corporation or organisation, hence the obligations that come with that role are different from those of a financial accountant. It is highly crucial for all kinds of companies, regardless of whether or not they are major organisations. Accounting refers to the practise of documenting a company's financial transactions in a systematic and organised manner. The process of accounting include summarising, assessing, and reporting these transactions to the relevant oversight authorities, regulatory bodies, and tax collecting institutions. “The financial statements that are used in accounting provide a condensed overview of the financial transactions that have occurred over the course of an accounting period. These statements also provide a summary of the activities, financial status, and cash flows of a firm. Accounting is one of the most important roles for almost any kind of company. In a smaller company, it may be managed by a bookkeeper or an accountant, however in a bigger company, it may be handled by vast financial departments consisting of hundreds of personnel. When it comes to assisting management in making educated choices for the company, the reports that are provided by the different streams of accounting, such a…

The Evolution of Chinese–Zionist Relations: Historical Roots and Strategic Implications, 1949–2025
type: item
description: This article addresses the problem of how China reconciles its rhetorical and diplomatic support for the Palestinian cause with the construction of growing strategic relations with the Zionist entity in the context of global geopolitical transformations. It traces the historical roots of Sino–Zionist relations since 1949, highlighting their transition from ideological hostility during the Cold War to an economic and technological partnership after 1992, particularly within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. The article focuses on several core ideas, most notably: the pragmatism of Chinese foreign policy; the rise of economic and technological cooperation with Israel; the corresponding decline in practical support for the Palestinian cause; and Beijing’s adoption of a policy of “biased neutrality,” which combines pro-Palestinian political discourse with economic practices that benefit Israel. The article concludes that, despite China’s efforts to present itself as a balanced and influential international power in the Middle East, it prioritizes its strategic and economic interests over exerting real pressure in favor of Palestinian rights, which limits the effectiveness of its role as a neutral mediator in the conflict.

The Management of Classified Saharan Palaces Between Protection Needs and Sustainability Considerations: An Archaeological Management Perspective
type: item
description: Classified Saharan ksour constitute a fundamental component of the cultural and architectural heritage of desert regions, reflecting centuries of social organization, environmental adaptation, and vernacular construction techniques. Despite their historical and symbolic value, these heritage complexes face increasing threats resulting from environmental degradation, demographic changes, inadequate management practices, and the pressures of modernization. This study examines the functional role of classified Saharan ksour within the dual framework of heritage protection requirements and sustainability imperatives, adopting an archaeological management perspective that integrates conservation, use, and long-term viability. The research adopts an analytical and interpretive approach, combining heritage management theory with archaeological principles to assess existing protection mechanisms and their limitations in ensuring sustainable preservation. It argues that effective management of Saharan ksour must transcend purely legal or technical conservation measures and instead embrace a holistic model that accounts for social participation, economic valorization, environmental resilience, and institutional coordination. The study further highlights the importance of adaptive reuse and sustainable tourism as strategic tools capable of reconciling heritage protection with local development needs. Ultimately, this paper proposes an integrated archaeological management framework that positions classified ksour not as static monuments, but as living cultural landscapes whose sustainability depends on balanced governance, community involvement, and context-sensitive conservation strategies.

Translating Emotional Charges in Poetic Discourse and the Disruption of Literary Taste among Non-Native Speakers of Arabic: Selected Poems by Mahmoud Darwish
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the problem of translating emotional charges in poetic discourse and the role of the translational act in unsettling the poetic taste of learners who are speakers of languages other than Arabic. It does so by combining theoretical grounding with textual application to selected poems by Mahmoud Darwish in their French and English translations. The study departs from the hypothesis that the emotional charge of the poem is not an isolated lexical element, but rather the outcome of a complex interaction between linguistic, rhetorical, rhythmic and cultural levels, which makes its transfer into another language a highly sensitive interpretive and aesthetic operation. Relying on recent literature on the "translatability of emotiveness" in Darwish's poetry, the study evaluates the translation strategies adopted between affective equivalence, image preservation, cultural adaptation and rhythmic adjustment. It concludes that translating emotional charges in Darwish's poetry is only partially attainable, on condition that the translator is fully aware of the sources of affect in the source text and of the expectations of the target-language reader. It further argues that success in this endeavour presupposes a composite strategic model that carefully balances fidelity and freedom.

Optimising Inventory Management Strategies for Cost Reduction in Supply Chains: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: This research proposes a data-driven inventory optimization methodology integrating advanced demand forecasting with traditional inventory models to reduce costs and improve service levels. Using historical sales data, seasonal patterns, and external demand drivers, machine learning models (e.g., Random Forest) are developed to predict future demand more accurately than classical forecasting techniques. The forecast output feeds into the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and refined safety stock calculations, adjusting reorder points dynamically to minimize costs related to overstock and stockouts. Scenario analyses and sensitivity testing demonstrate robustness under varying demand conditions, showing improved inventory efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership. The study highlights the applicability of combining AI-based forecasting with established inventory control techniques to build resilient and cost-effective supply chains.

Stochastic Optimization of Inventory at Large-Scale Supply Chains: A Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Inventory management in large-scale supply chains is a complex decision-making problem characterized by uncertainty in demand, supply, lead times, and operational disruptions. Traditional deterministic inventory models are increasingly inadequate for capturing real-world uncertainty, particularly in globalized, multi-echelon supply networks. Stochastic optimization has emerged as a powerful analytical framework to address these challenges by explicitly modeling uncertainty and optimizing inventory decisions across multiple scenarios. This review paper synthesizes the existing literature on stochastic optimization approaches applied to inventory management in large-scale supply chains. It examines key stochastic models, solution methodologies, scenario generation and reduction techniques, computational challenges, and sector-specific applications. The paper also discusses managerial implications, limitations of current research, and promising future directions, including integration with artificial intelligence, digital twins, and sustainability objectives. The review provides a structured and comprehensive understanding of how stochastic optimization contributes to cost reduction, service level improvement, and resilience in complex supply chains.

Artificial Intelligence in Inventory and Supply Chain Management: A Comprehensive Review of Models, Applications, and Future Directions
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in inventory and supply chain management, fundamentally altering how organizations forecast demand, optimize inventory, coordinate logistics, and respond to uncertainty. Traditional inventory models, while analytically robust, often rely on simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness in complex, dynamic, and data-rich environments. AI techniques—ranging from machine learning and deep learning to reinforcement learning and hybrid optimization—enable data-driven, adaptive, and predictive decision-making across large-scale supply chains. This review paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of the academic literature on AI applications in inventory and supply chain management. It examines theoretical foundations, AI methodologies, demand forecasting, inventory optimization, risk management, and system-wide coordination. The paper further discusses practical implementation challenges, ethical and governance concerns, and future research directions, including the integration of AI with digital twins, stochastic optimization, and sustainability objectives. By consolidating fragmented research streams, this review offers a structured framework for scholars and practitioners seeking to leverage AI for efficient, resilient, and intelligent supply chains.

Economic Impact of Inventory Decisions on Firm Performance: A Comprehensive Review of Theory, Empirical Evidence, and Future
type: item
description: Inventory decisions lie at the intersection of operational management and economic performance. Inventory levels influence cost structures, working capital requirements, service quality, and ultimately a firm’s competitiveness and profitability. While traditional operational research focuses on optimizing inventory from a cost standpoint, economic analysis emphasizes the firm level implications of inventory policies on revenue, investment, and market positioning. This review synthesizes the interdisciplinary literature on the economic impact of inventory decisions on firm performance. It examines theoretical frameworks linking inventory to economic outcomes, empirical studies across industries and countries, macro level perspectives on inventory dynamics, and the role of market structure, demand uncertainty, and financial constraints. The review identifies key mechanisms through which inventory decisions affect economic metrics, highlights methodological approaches used in the literature, and discusses policy and managerial implications. Finally, it proposes a research agenda for future studies that integrate economic theory with emerging data driven inventory practices, sustainability objectives, and global supply chain risk.

description: BACKGROUND Comparing the results of the five censuses, we find that the 2008 census is good and acceptable, and is the best of all the censuses of 1966, 1977, 1987, and 1998. OBJECTIVE We will review and correct these results, if necessary, so that we can conduct measurements on some indicators related to the population category in Algeria. METHODOLOGY We will use some electronic processing programs, such as PAS Papers, to measure the accuracy of the data for the five general statistics, as represented by the United Nations Secretariat Manual. RESULTS The weakness of the data in the first and second censuses is greater than 20. In the 1966 census, it exceeded 31.8, and in the 1977 census, it reached 24.4. This is due to Algeria's independence, the lack of experience among statisticians, and weak data collection, etc., which inevitably leads to poor data accuracy.

Advances in Computational Pharmacology: AI and Machine Learning in Drug Discovery
type: item
description: Computational pharmacology's incorporation of AI and ML has changed the game for contemporary drug discovery by opening up new avenues for the efficient and rapid creation of innovative medicines. By contrast, AI-driven approaches allow for more accurate identification of potential drug candidates, faster exploration of chemical space, and more accurate prediction of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, all while reducing the time, money, and strain on traditional drug discovery pipelines caused by high attrition rates. Virtual screening, target discovery, de novo drug creation, and drug repurposing have all been made possible by advancements in generative models, deep learning, and natural language processing. Machine learning algorithms that have been trained on massive chemical and biological datasets can optimize lead compounds, discover hidden connections connecting genotype, phenotype, and medication response, and forecast molecular interactions. Additionally, by customizing treatments to each patient, precision medicine is improved by integration with multi-omics data and real-world evidence. There are still significant obstacles to clinical translation, despite the revolutionary benefits, including issues with data quality, model interpretability, reproducibility, and regulatory acceptability. Also, we need to pay attention to ethical concerns, such as algorithmic prejudice and IP difficulties.

Effects of Stroboscopic Visual Training on Visual-Motor Performance in Elite Volleyball Players: A Case Study of EST Tajenanet
type: item
description: Visual perception and visual-motor coordination are critical determinants of performance in volleyball, a sport characterized by rapid ball tracking, anticipation, and precise spatial awareness. Stroboscopic visual training, which involves intermittent visual occlusion during training, has emerged as an innovative method to enhance visual processing speed and motor response. However, empirical evidence on its effectiveness in elite volleyball remains limited, particularly in Algerian competitive contexts. This study evaluated the effects of a stroboscopic visual training program on visual-motor performance parameters in elite male volleyball players from EST (Entente Sportive de Tajenanet), competing in the Algerian National Championship Division A. A pre-post intervention design was implemented with 16 male volleyball players (mean age: 24.3 ± 3.2 years) from EST Tajenanet during the competitive season. The intervention consisted of a 12-week stroboscopic visual training program integrated into regular team training sessions (3 sessions per week, 45 minutes per session). Visual-motor performance was assessed through standardized tests including: visual reaction time, dynamic visual acuity, peripheral vision range, depth perception accuracy, and ball tracking precision. Paired-sample t-tests were used to assess pre-post changes, with significance set at p < 0.05.Significant improvements were observed across all visual-motor parameters. Visual reaction time decreased from 245.3 ms (SD = 28.4) to 218.7 ms (SD = 24.1), t(15) = 4.892, p < 0.001. Dynamic visual acuity improved from 0.82 (SD = 0.09) to 0.91 (SD = 0.07), t(15) = -5.234, p < 0.001. Peripheral vision range expanded from 168.4° (SD = 12.3) to 179.2° (SD = 10.8), t(15) = -3.876, p < 0.01. Depth perception accuracy increased from 78.3% (SD = 8.7) to 88.6% (SD = 6.4), t(15) = -5.012, p < 0.001. Ball tracking precision improved from 74.2% (SD = 9.1) to 86.5% (SD = 7.3), t(15) = -6.145, p < 0.001. A structured str…

Constraints on Restricting Freedom of Expression in the Context of Strengthening the Right to Digital Being: A Legal Reading in Light of the Principle of Proportionality
type: item
description: This study examines the constraints governing restrictions on freedom of expression in the digital environment, within the framework of enhancing the right to digital being. It adopts a legal analytical approach that relies on the principle of proportionality as a fundamental mechanism for achieving balance between freedom and restriction. Digital transformations have significantly expanded the scope of exercising freedom of expression, rendering it borderless, while simultaneously generating serious legal challenges, including hate speech, disinformation, incitement to violence, as well as the growing role of digital platforms and algorithmic moderation in content regulation. The research proceeds from the hypothesis that the protection of freedom of expression and the right to digital being cannot be realized through absolute permissiveness or comprehensive prohibition, but rather through subjecting any restrictions to tests of legitimacy, suitability, necessity, and strict proportionality in accordance with the principle of proportionality. The study concludes that the effective application of the principle of proportionality constitutes a robust legal safeguard that prevents arbitrary restrictions or digital erasure, while simultaneously ensuring the protection of the digital public order and the rights of others.

Rape of Women During French Colonialism ... A Crime of Honor that Escaped Punishment
type: item
description: Rape has been widely used as a weapon of war throughout history, with women often becoming the easiest targets during conflicts. In such circumstances, they are turned into primary objectives, employed to humiliate and demoralize the enemy. The bodies of women from the opposing side are thus transformed into vulnerable and easily attainable war targets. This was precisely the case during the colonial period in Algeria, from 1830 to 1962. However, despite being routinely practiced by French forces for over a century against virtuous Algerian women, rape remained a silenced crime. While rape is now recognized internationally as a war crime and a crime against humanity, Algeria's chances of prosecuting the perpetrators remain slim. The long-standing silence surrounding this crime has changed its narrative and obscured crucial evidence. Furthermore, international legal protections for women from rape in times of war came too late.

The Principle of Commencement of Proof by Writing in Algerian Civil Evidence Law:
type: item
description: The principle of commencement of proof by constitutes a significant exception to the general rule requiring written evidence in the Algerian civil law system. It permits the supplementation of incomplete written proof with witness testimony or presumptions when its three conditions, as stipulated in Article 335 of the Algerian Civil Code, are met. With the Algerian legislature's recognition of electronic writing under Law No. 05-10 of 20 June 2005 (Article 323 bis 1), followed by the regulation of electronic signatures and certification through Law No. 15-04 of 3 February 2015, it has become essential to examine the applicability of this principle to real property transactions, which are subject to strict formal requirements and mandatory registration procedures. This study analyzes the compatibility of the principle's conditions with the nature of electronic instruments, focusing on practical challenges and legislative gaps in the field of property ownership. The methodology relies on textual, comparative, and applied critical analysis, drawing on legal texts, doctrine, and judicial precedents. The study concludes that the principle serves as a flexible bridge toward digitization but requires comprehensive legislative and technological development to achieve full effectiveness in real estate transactions.

The Issue of Slavery and Racism in Black Literature The Obsession with Color, Its Impact, and the Motivations for Creativity in the Work of the African American Scheherazade, Toni Morrison
type: item
description: Cultural criticism has undertaken the task of defending marginalized cultures by responding to the grand narratives authored by the West, which have depicted these cultures and their people negatively within the frameworks of colonial and postcolonial studies. Meanwhile, feminist criticism has taken on the responsibility of advocating for women’s rights and freedoms. Women have endured a double oppression—first by the colonizer and then by the authority, dominance, and tyranny of men. This dual oppression has shaped the backdrop of women’s writings and critiques, with issues of colour, race, and gender becoming central concerns and motivators for their work. How has the impact of colour manifested in women’s creativity and critique? This study aims to highlight the African-American writer Toni Morrison, who, through her various writings, sought to represent the world of Black people and embody the ongoing struggle between the self and the other. She endeavoured to liberate Black characters from the confines of slavery and the stereotypes that clung to them for so long. Morrison emphasized that the Black community possesses unique experiences across various domains, enabling it to break free from the chains of slavery and rebuild its identity and history within the framework of freedom known as postcolonialism.

The Role of Regional Communities in Supporting and Promoting Local Investment (A study in light of Investment Law 22-18 and Local Authority Laws)
type: item
description: In Algeria, regional communities operate as a key economic tool under the municipal and provincial laws, as well as Investment Law 22-18. They attract investment by providing industrial land and preparing the necessary infrastructure for projects. They also play a coordinating role through decentralised single windows, simplifying and digitising administrative procedures. This aims to create a model of ‘productive municipalities’ that generate wealth, create jobs and achieve sustainable development independently of financial dependence on the central authority. Between 2022 and 2025, the Algerian Agency for Investment Promotion recorded over 19,000 projects valued at more than 61 billion USD, which are expected to create around 470,000 direct jobs. Notably, statistics reveal a dominant presence of local capital, accounting for over 98% of projects, underscoring the success of the decentralised approach in stimulating local economic activity. Over half of these projects have commenced implementation, primarily in the manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism sectors, reflecting a clear trend towards diversifying the national economy through regional initiatives.

Psychosocial Adjustment and Its Relationship with Attitudes Toward Migration Among Youth
type: item
description: Migration has become one of the most significant social phenomena affecting contemporary societies, particularly among young people who increasingly aspire to move abroad in search of better living conditions, employment opportunities, and social stability. The growing interest in migration among youth is not only influenced by economic and political factors but also by psychological and social conditions that shape their perceptions and aspirations. Among the most important of these factors is psychosocial adjustment, which reflects an individual’s ability to adapt psychologically and socially to the surrounding environment. The present study seeks to examine the relationship between psychosocial adjustment and attitudes toward migration among youth. Psychosocial adjustment refers to the individual’s capacity to maintain a balance between personal needs and the demands of the social environment, including emotional stability, self-acceptance, positive interpersonal relationships, and effective coping with life stressors. When young individuals experience difficulties in achieving such balance, they may develop feelings of dissatisfaction, frustration, or lack of belonging, which may increase their inclination toward migration as a perceived means of improving their life conditions. Conversely, individuals who demonstrate higher levels of psychosocial adjustment may feel more satisfied with their social environment and consequently show less desire to leave their home country. This research aims to highlight how psychological well-being and social integration can influence youth attitudes toward migration and shape their future aspirations. The study also emphasizes the importance of examining migration as a multidimensional phenomenon that includes psychological, social, and cultural dimensions in addition to economic considerations. By analyzing the relationship between psychosocial adjustment and migration attitudes, the study contributes to a deeper understandin…

Rural-Urban Migration and Its Socio-Economic Implications: A Geographical Study
type: item
description: Rural-urban migration has emerged as one of the most defining demographic processes of the 21st century, reshaping the socio-economic and spatial dynamics of developing as well as developed countries. This paper examines the geographical patterns and underlying drivers of rural-urban migration, emphasizing economic disparities, employment opportunities, infrastructural development, and socio-cultural aspirations. While migration offers improved access to education, healthcare, and income in urban centers, it also generates challenges such as urban congestion, unemployment, informal settlements, and environmental degradation. On the rural side, migration often leads to labor shortages, declining agricultural productivity, and demographic imbalances, though it also brings remittances and social mobility opportunities. Using a geographical approach, this study analyzes regional variations in migration flows, identifies the push and pull factors shaping mobility, and evaluates the socio-economic implications for both sending and receiving areas. The findings highlight the dual nature of migration as both a driver of modernization and a source of inequalities, calling for balanced regional development policies and sustainable urban planning to manage the challenges and maximize the benefits of rural-urban migration.

Local Media, Torture, and French Intellectuals in Algeria during the French Colonial Period – Maurice Nadeau and Manifesto of the 121
type: item
description: During the period of French colonial rule, the Algerian Revolution attracted considerable international sympathy, largely as a result of the propaganda initiatives undertaken by the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) to publicize this major revolutionary struggle. Support came from various parts of the world, particularly from other colonized societies. The prominence of the Algerian Revolution was further reinforced by expressions of solidarity from certain French figures, notably members of the French intellectual elite, including writers and journalists. Some of these individuals formally articulated their opposition to French practices toward Algerians by signing public declarations, most notably the Statement on the Right to Civil Disobedience in the Algerian War (Manifesto of the 121), endorsed by 121 French intellectuals. While some of the signatories are well documented, information concerning the professional and political trajectories of others, such as Maurice Nadeau, remains limited. This study seeks to present Nadeau as one of the signatories of this statement.

Knowledge and the Knowledge Economy in the Organization
type: item
description: Knowledge and information are considered among the most important products of the knowledge economy because the accumulation, updating, and organization of knowledge is the basic foundation of the economy, as it depends on the production and distribution of knowledge. Therefore, it is directly based on the production, dissemination, and use of knowledge and information in various productive and service activities because it focuses on the value of the intellectual capabilities of the human element, as it is the source of knowledge, wealth, and power. Hence, the more knowledge accumulates, the more wealth accumulates. The knowledge economy is concerned with the production and storage of knowledge, its generation, innovation, and use, as well as the knowledge industry through education, training, and development, while the knowledge-based economy constitutes an advanced stage of the knowledge economy. Accordingly, we can say that the knowledge economy has enormous capabilities to adapt to new variables and harmonize with all different circumstances and situations that accompany the internationalization of the economy.

Government Incentives and Policy Frameworks for Electric Vehicle Adoption: A Global Review
type: item
description: Government incentives and policy frameworks have been pivotal in shaping the global trajectory of electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but their design, timing, and national context produce widely varying outcomes. This global review synthesizes evidence on demand-side measures (purchase subsidies, tax credits, registration exemptions), supply-side strategies (manufacturing incentives, local content rules), and system-level instruments (charging infrastructure mandates, low-emission zones, and vehicle standards). Purchase incentives and tax credits have produced strong short-term increases in EV registrations in many markets, yet effectiveness depends on program design, duration, and interactions with complementary policies (e.g., charging rollout and grid readiness) (Martins et al., 2024). Regional policy pathways illustrate contrasts: early, generous subsidies and integrated industrial policy helped China scale production and lower costs, while recent policy recalibrations illustrate the need to shift toward market-stability measures as markets mature (DieselNet, n.d.; IEA, 2024). In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean vehicle tax incentives reoriented buyer incentives and domestic supply-chain development goals, introducing complex eligibility rules that shape who benefits and how quickly demand responds (U.S. Treasury, 2023).

Termination of Public Works Contracts in Algerian Law: Natural Completion, Exceptional Rescission Mechanisms, and Financial Settlement under Law No. 23-12 and Executive Decree No. 21-219
type: item
description: This research undertakes an analysis of the legal regime applicable to the termination of public works contracts. It deals with both the natural termination of the contract due to the full performance of the contract or the expiration of the contractual duration and the non-natural termination of the contract, which encompasses rescission for the contractor's fault, unilateral termination of the contract in the public interest, and judicial dissolution of the contract. This research has shown that the termination of the contract is no longer just the final act of the procedure but is instead a form of organized governance. It has also demonstrated the importance of strengthening the procedural regime of termination, the requirements of justification, and the financial regime of termination in order to strengthen transparency and credibility in the Algerian system of public procurement.

Narrative Techniques in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse: Stream of Consciousness and Beyond
type: item
description: The novel To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, which features a number of novel storytelling approaches, with a special emphasis on the usage of stream of consciousness as one of those techniques. In addition to providing a profound investigation into the inner lives of her characters, Woolf's innovative approach to narrative structure and character development was a game-changer for modernist writing. A fluid, non-linear portrayal of time and consciousness is made possible by Woolf's stream of consciousness style, which is examined in this research through an analysis of important passages. This technique gives readers an intimate peek into the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the story. Additionally, the article explores additional narrative tactics that Woolf utilised, such as shifting perspectives, the utilisation of symbols, and the subtle interplay between subjective and objective reality. Stream of consciousness is one of the narrative strategies that is investigated in this research. The purpose of this article is to explain how Woolf's narrative innovations contribute to the novel's study of issues such as memory, identity, and the passage of time, so establishing To the Lighthouse as a cornerstone of modernist literature. This will be accomplished by analysing these tactics.

Analyzing the Dynamics of the Budget Deficit in Algeria and Forecasting the Resort to Domestic and External Borrowing Using the ARDL Model for the Period 2000–2030
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the budget deficit in Algeria and forecast the reliance on domestic and external borrowing during the period 2000–2030 using the ARDL model. The study is based on annual data for government expenditure, real GDP, and oil prices, assessing both short- and long-term relationships between the deficit and key economic variables. Empirical results reveal a stable long-term equilibrium relationship and dynamic behavior of the variables over time, with the error correction model demonstrating a rapid adjustment mechanism following short-term shocks. Future forecasts indicate that the trajectory of the deficit varies according to economic scenarios: under the optimistic scenario, financing can largely rely on domestic resources, whereas moderate and pessimistic scenarios require increased external borrowing. The study underscores the importance of efficient fiscal and monetary policy management to ensure deficit stability and strengthen the state's ability to cope with future economic fluctuations.

Geopolitics of Water Sharing in South Asia: A Case of Indus and Ganga Basins
type: item
description: The geopolitics of water sharing in South Asia has emerged as a critical dimension of regional security and cooperation, with the Indus and Ganga river basins standing at the center of hydro political debates. Shared by multiple countries including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and China, these transboundary rivers not only sustain millions of livelihoods but also serve as instruments of power, negotiation, and conflict. The Indus Waters Treaty (1960) between India and Pakistan remains a rare case of durable bilateral agreement despite political hostilities, yet recent tensions highlight challenges of climate change, water scarcity, and unilateral projects. Similarly, the Ganga basin epitomizes both cooperation and contestation, as India’s water management policies intersect with Nepal’s hydropower ambitions and Bangladesh’s downstream concerns. The increasing pressures of population growth, agricultural demand, and changing monsoon patterns further intensify the stakes. This study explores how water-sharing agreements, power asymmetries, and emerging environmental threats shape the geopolitics of South Asia, making the Indus and Ganga basins a test case for balancing national interests with regional sustainability.

A Study of the Content of Educational Texts for Fifth-Year Algerian Primary School Students in Terms of Moral Values in Light of Global Changes
type: item
description: Ethical values enable individuals and societies to distinguish between right and wrong, though the adopted frames of reference vary across different cultures. It is from this ethical reference that the norms governing behaviors and interactions are derived to safeguard rights and duties. Given that global shifts—namely globalization and technological advancements—have made cultural openness inevitable, a society's ethical values are now facing an existential clash between what is prohibited by its own standards and what is permitted elsewhere. This has led to a cultural blurring and, potentially, a detachment from the original identity. Consequently, social systems must strive to preserve their core components by exerting efforts across various fields to instill values and principles, most importantly through education. Education is not merely a process of transmitting knowledge from one generation to another; it is, at its core, a process of human character-building in both value and conduct. While science provides individuals with the tools for success, ethics grant them the purpose and the right direction to utilize those tools. In this context, studying ethical values within educational texts designed for the primary stage gains immense significance; it is the phase where the initial features of a citizen's personality are outlined, and where the morals capable of protecting society against global shifts are ingrained. Thus, examining the educational texts prescribed for fifth-grade primary students in Algeria serves as a pivotal gateway to understanding how these values are translated from abstract concepts into behavioral and linguistic practices acquired by the learner.

The 2024 Immigration Law in France : The Status of Algerians
type: item
description: In France, legislation relating to the rights of foreigners is compiled in the Code of Entry and Stay of Foreigners and the Right to Asylum, also called CESEDA. The issue of residence permits is therefore governed by the provisions contained in this code. However, residence permits for Algerians in France are governed by another text. The case of Algeria is different: in fact, France and Algeria signed on December 27, 1968 an "agreement relating to the movement, employment and stay in France of Algerian nationals and their families", most often referred to as the “Franco-Algerian agreement”, which establishes a specific regime for Algerians wishing to enter France, settle there and work there. This initial agreement was subsequently modified and supplemented by 3 successive amendments: 1st amendment signed on December 22, 1985; 2nd amendment signed on September 28, 1994; 3rd amendment signed on July 11, 2001. This is why we often speak of the “modified Franco-Algerian agreement”.

Translation Between Linguistic Theory and Discursive Practice
type: item
description: In this article a case is made for the role of Arabic translation in lexical space construction and on how its multiple equivalents and lack of semantic centrality, have given a rise to 'conceptual confusion' in Arab terminology. It foregrounds lexicon in the regulation of knowledge, and as a medium through one can achieve a unity in science. Employing both a descriptive and analytical method, it investigates definition, types and translation methods, the relationship between linguistic analysis and discoursive practice, as well as terminological components and characteristics. Results: Non standardization processes, different sources of Arabization and semantically instability in terminologies are some reasons that disturb terminology indicating the necessity for integration of Arabisms into a unified Arabic neological system aiming at controllability.

R.K. Narayan's "The Guide": An Analysis of Indian Women in the Reader
type: item
description: The novel The Guide by R.K. Narayan is the subject of this study, which offers an analytical investigation into the portrayal of Indian women in the novel and the impact that it has on readers. The portrayal of the female protagonist, Rosie, as a reflection of the changing roles that women play in Indian culture is the primary subject of this research, which is conducted through the perspective of gender studies. In this study, we investigate how Narayan's tale not only questions the conventional gender norms that have been established, but also encourages readers to participate in a more profound contemplation of the social, cultural, and emotional issues that Indian women endure. The purpose of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the longer-term ramifications of Rosie's journey on the audience's perspective of Indian femininity. This will be accomplished by analysing how readers have responded to her character and the decisions she has made. Furthermore, the analysis highlights how Narayan's complex narrative encourages readers to empathise with Rosie's pursuit of independence and self-expression, which in turn contributes to a more progressive perspective of women's roles within the context of Indian culture.

Digital Banking, Financial Inclusion and FDI Inflows: Reassessing the Institutional Channel in Arab Countries
type: item
description: This study provides a comprehensive reassessment of the nexus between digital banking, financial inclusion, and foreign direct investment inflows within ten Arab countries over the period from 2010 to 2021, with a specific focus on the Institutional Channel hypothesis. Utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to construct multidimensional indices, the research employs a panel data methodology, investigating the long-term impact on foreign direct investment inflows when considered in isolation from institutional quality. The evidence concludes that digital transformation within the banking sector has not yet reached the threshold of significance required to pivot foreign capital flows independently. The empirical inquiry into the Arab region’s financial landscape yields nuanced insights that challenge simplistic assumptions regarding technological adoption. The findings reveal that while digital banking and financial inclusion are rapidly evolving, their individual capacity to stimulate foreign direct investment remains statistically latent in the long term

Generative AI Tools and Learning Outcomes for Students with Learning Disabilities in K–12 Education: A Narrative Integrative Review
type: item
description: Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) — including large language models (LLMs), AI chatbots, adaptive tutor systems, and automated feedback tools — is rapidly reshaping discourse in educational research. For students with learning disabilities (LD) — such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia — these technologies hold theoretical promise for personalized scaffolding, accessible feedback, and self-regulated learning support. Purpose: This narrative integrative review synthesizes descriptive evidence on the potential and limitations of GenAI and related AI tools on learning outcomes for K–12 students with LD, situating findings within cognitive, metacognitive, and inclusive education frameworks. Methods: Evidence was purposively selected for descriptive synthesis based on relevance to the topic, recency (primarily 2017–2025), methodological quality, and focus on adaptive or generative AI tools in educational contexts. Peer-reviewed research, high-quality conceptual pieces, and reputable reports were included. Results: Direct empirical research specifically on GenAI tools with K–12 LD populations is currently limited. Evidence for related adaptive AI systems — including intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) and automated feedback platforms — indicates potential positive effects on reading, writing, and mathematics performance, improved self-regulated learning behaviors, and increased engagement. Mechanistically, AI supports cognitive load reduction, personalized feedback loops, and multimodal accessibility, although risks such as dependency and accuracy concerns persist. Conclusions: While GenAI offers promising affordances for students with LD, rigorous empirical research in K–12 special education settings is urgently needed. Future work should prioritize controlled intervention trials, standardized outcome measures, and inclusive co-design with learning disability communities.

The central research challenge lies in determining the precise dividing line between professional and consumer conduct for an entity that, by law, lacks a 'private life.' Drawing on the French legal experience, the article examines the introduction of the 'non-professional' category under Ordonnance No. 2016-301 as a mechanism to restore contractual balance. The findings underscore the imperative for the Algerian legislature to adopt the 'non-professional' concept as a means of protecting legally vulnerable entities from economic dominance. The proposed framework constitutes a legal safety valve that guarantees the protection of legal persons when they engage in transactions outside their professional environment.

Existential Anxiety in the Digital Age
type: item
description: Existential anxiety, traditionally understood as a deep concern about meaning, freedom, isolation, and mortality, has acquired new dimensions in the digital age. Rapid technological advancement, constant online connectivity, algorithmic surveillance, and social media comparison culture have reshaped how individuals experience identity, belonging, and purpose. While digital platforms promise connection and self-expression, they often intensify feelings of alienation, fragmentation of self, and fear of irrelevance. The curated nature of online life fosters comparison-driven self-evaluation, leading to heightened self-doubt and existential insecurity. Additionally, artificial intelligence, automation, and virtual realities challenge long-standing assumptions about human uniqueness and agency. This paper explores how digital environments amplify classical existential concerns and examines the psychological and philosophical implications of living in a hyperconnected yet emotionally dispersed world. It argues that existential anxiety in the digital age is not merely a pathological condition but a structural response to rapid cultural transformation, requiring new frameworks for meaning-making and authentic engagement.

The phenomenon of corruption in the activities of international organizations
type: item
description: Corruption, as a serious phenomenon that has come to characterize contemporary societies, is now appearing at the level of official and unofficial institutions. This phenomenon has acquired an international dimension, evident in the activities of international organizations, whose activities have become the subject of reports, press statements, and official pronouncements, as well as complaints from many affected parties. These organizations have begun to deviate from their work due to those who benefit from their activities, or due to financial or funding systems, and due to the nature of their activities. This affects the role they were established to fulfill and leads to them becoming a means of threatening the security of the countries in whose territories they are located.

Non-Parametric Econometric Analyses of Algerian Inflation: An Application of KRLS and QQKRLS Methods
type: item
description: This article reexamines the determinants of inflation in Algeria between 2002 and 2025 by mobilizing two advanced non-parametric econometric methods: Kernel Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) and Quantile-on-Quantile KRLS regression (QQKRLS). Unlike standard linear models, these approaches make it possible to capture nonlinearity, distributional heterogeneity, and complex dependencies between oil prices, exchange rates, and inflation. Preliminary specification tests (Ramsey RESET, Breusch Pagan, Jarque Bera, BDS) all reject the hypothesis of linearity and independence, fully justifying the use of these techniques. KRLS estimations reveal a positive and significant average marginal effect of oil prices on inflation, but with marked nonlinearity: the impact weakens for very high oil prices. In contrast, the average effect of the exchange rate is not statistically significant. The main contribution lies in the QQKRLS analysis, which highlights strong heterogeneity of effects across the quantiles of inflation and explanatory variables. For low inflation, the effect of oil prices is paradoxically negative, whereas under moderate to high inflation regimes, oil shocks exert an amplified effect. The exchange rate shows a strong negative effect when inflation is low (disinflationary appreciation of the dinar), but a positive and destabilizing effect during periods of high inflation. These results suggest that “one-size-fits-all” monetary policies are inappropriate: the response to external shocks must be conditioned by the prevailing inflation regime. The study contributes to the literature on the economics of rentier states by providing robust evidence of nonlinear and asymmetric dependencies, and proposes concrete implications for stabilization policy in Algeria.

Modern Desert Agriculture as an Effective Strategic Option for Achieving Food Security in Algeria
type: item
description: Food security is one of the strategic issues whose importance has increased in light of global economic crises and accelerating climate change. Algeria faces real challenges in this field due to its reliance on importing a significant part of its food needs. In this context, desert agriculture has emerged as a promising strategic option based on the exploitation of vast areas and available groundwater resources. This type of agriculture relies on modern techniques, such as drip irrigation and protected agriculture, in order to increase productivity and improve crop yields. It also contributes to expanding agricultural land and increasing national production, which strengthens the achievement of relative self-sufficiency and reduces food dependence on foreign markets. Despite these positive aspects, this sector still faces several challenges, most notably the lack of infrastructure, high investment costs, and the scarcity of water resources. Nevertheless, desert agriculture remains a fundamental pillar for achieving food security and supporting the path of sustainable development in Algeria.

The Evidential Analogy (Qiyas) according to al-Bukhari: As Derived from the Chapter Headings of His Sahih
type: item
description: This article examines a foundational issue in Usul al-Fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), namely the use of evidential analogy (qiyas) as a method of legal reasoning, according to the doctrine of Imam Abu ‘Abd Allah Muḥammad ibn Isma‘il al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him). This is explored through the chapter headings (tarajim) of his book 'Al-sahih al-Jami‘'. The aim is to ascertain Imam al-Bukhari’s position on this matter and the extent of his reliance on 'qiyas' in deriving the legal rulings he espoused. The study focuses exclusively on those chapter headings in which al-Bukhari explicitly states a legal ruling (ḥukm shar‘ī) or an uṣūlī principle. It does not cover headings where no definitive ruling is given, nor rulings attributed to others unless al-Bukhārī either agreed with or opposed them. The researcher adopts an inductive method followed by analytical reasoning to conclude al-Bukhārī’s position as it becomes evident. The article begins with a biographical account of Imam al-Bukhari and an introduction to his Ṣaḥīḥ. It also defines the concept of qiyās and clarifies the meaning of tarājim (chapter headings) to establish the precise terms of the research title: The Evidential Analogy (Qiyās) according to al-Bukhari as Derived from the Chapter Headings of His Ṣaḥīḥ.

Transformations of Influence in the Network Society: A Sociological Approach to Digital Capital Among Digital Influencers
type: item
description: This research looks into how the digital world is transforming the notion of social influence among people in today's societies. This research project demonstrates that all of the sources of influence have changed from being predominantly based upon traditional forms of social hierarchy and in-person institutions to being based exclusively on the ever-changing, interactive nature of these new online venues. Therefore, the author studies digital capital as a new source of social power through measuring online presence, connection with an audience, and level of visibility on each respective platform. Digital influencers are highlighted as emerging social actors gaining authority in contemporary society based not only on their original foundation of followers but also based on the digital capital that they maintain via digital economy platforms Furthermore, the author employs a sociological analysis to examine how these changes may produce 'Open' opportunities or 'Reproduce' new forms of inequality throughout society today as well as proposing that traditional sociological theories should be reviewed and modified as a result of the many digital changes occurring in current modern societies.

The Role of Philosophy in Understanding Social Change
type: item
description: Philosophy has long played a significant role in helping individuals and societies understand the nature and causes of social change. Social change refers to the transformation of social structures, cultural values, institutions, and relationships over time. Philosophical inquiry provides a framework for analyzing these transformations by examining fundamental questions about justice, human behavior, social organization, and ethical responsibility. Through critical reflection and theoretical analysis, philosophy helps explain how societies evolve and how individuals can respond to changing social conditions. Philosophers throughout history have explored the dynamics of social change and its impact on human life. Classical thinkers such as Plato and Aristotle examined the nature of social order and justice, while modern philosophers have analyzed issues such as equality, democracy, and social progress. Philosophical perspectives often challenge existing social norms and encourage societies to reconsider established practices and beliefs. In this way, philosophy contributes to the development of new ideas and reforms that shape the direction of social change.In contemporary society, rapid technological advancements, globalization, and cultural interactions have accelerated the pace of social change. These transformations raise important questions about ethics, identity, and social responsibility. Philosophy provides tools for critically examining these issues and understanding their broader implications for society.explores the role of philosophy in understanding social change by examining how philosophical ideas influence social values, political institutions, and cultural development. It also highlights the importance of philosophical reflection in addressing contemporary social challenges and guiding societies toward more just and equitable systems.

Patriarchy and Cultural Norms: Barriers to Gender Equality
type: item
description: Patriarchy and cultural norms continue to function as significant barriers to achieving gender equality in contemporary society. Patriarchy, as a system of male dominance, is deeply embedded within cultural practices, social institutions, and everyday interactions, shaping gender roles and power relations. Cultural norms, reinforced through family, religion, education, and media, often legitimize unequal treatment and restrict opportunities for women and other marginalized gender groups. This paper critically examines how patriarchal structures and cultural expectations contribute to the persistence of gender inequality across social, economic, and political spheres. It also explores the ways in which these norms are internalized and reproduced over time. At the same time, the study highlights the role of education, legal reforms, and social movements in challenging patriarchal systems and promoting gender justice. By analyzing the intersection of patriarchy and culture, this paper seeks to identify pathways for creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

Intersection of Culture, Gender, and Power Structures
type: item
description: The intersection of culture, gender, and power structures provides a critical framework for understanding how inequalities are produced and sustained within society. Culture shapes norms, values, and social expectations, while gender defines roles and identities that are often structured within unequal power relations. Power structures, embedded in institutions such as family, religion, economy, and politics, reinforce these inequalities by privileging certain groups over others. This paper examines how cultural norms and practices interact with gender to construct hierarchies that marginalize women and other gender groups. It further explores how these intersections operate across different social contexts, influencing access to resources, decision-making, and opportunities. At the same time, the study highlights the role of resistance, social movements, and legal frameworks in challenging these power dynamics. By analyzing the interconnected nature of culture, gender, and power, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of inequality and pathways toward social justice and equality.

title: The Impact of Bank Financing Mechanisms on Achieving Agricultural Development: Between Reality and Challenges A Case Study of the Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development in M’sila Cumulative Period up to 31/12/2025
description: This study aims to analyse the reality of bank financing for the agricultural sector and its impact on agricultural development, using the various financing formulas available at the Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (BADR) – M’sila branch as a model, and to measure the efficiency of their use. The study found that there is a disparity in the usage rates of financing services across different agricultural sectors due to differences in efficiency of use. The financial weight of investment activities with long cycles exceeds that of operational activities. Bank financing is an essential process, but it faces challenges, the most important of which are the difficulty of valuing bank guarantees (often agricultural land), default risk, and the mismatch between loan repayment schedules and the agricultural cycle. The study recommends introducing an incentive system for loan repayment, linking repayment to harvest times suitable for the farmer, accepting certain movable guarantees such as storable products (crops and agricultural produce), and encouraging agricultural insurance through state subsidisation of part of the insurance premiums, especially in the early stages of agricultural projects.

Urban Culture and Identity Formation in Contemporary Cities
type: item
description: Urban culture plays a vital role in shaping identity in contemporary cities characterized by diversity, mobility, and constant transformation. Rapid urbanization and globalization have turned cities into spaces where multiple cultures intersect, interact, and evolve. This paper examines how urban culture influences identity formation, focusing on factors such as migration, socio-economic conditions, spatial environments, and digital media. Cities like Mumbai, New York City, and London serve as examples of multicultural urban centers where identities are fluid, hybrid, and continuously reconstructed. The study highlights how individuals negotiate between local traditions and global influences, leading to the emergence of complex and dynamic identities. It also addresses challenges such as cultural homogenization, inequality, and marginalization that impact identity formation. The paper concludes that urban culture is a powerful force that not only reflects but also actively shapes individual and collective identities in contemporary society.

Establishing a Digital Surveillance System in Startups: Global Illustrations and Their Relevance inside the Algerian ecosystem
type: item
description: During a time of swift technological transformation, startups in emerging markets face an increasingly complex information environment. Digital vigilance — the systematic capacity to detect, assess, and react to nuanced signals from competitive, technological, and regulatory landscapes — has emerged as a crucial organisation capability. Nonetheless, its application in resource-constrained startup settings, particularly in the Global South, remains insufficiently studied. This article examines the development and execution of digital surveillance systems in startup ecosystems throughout France, the United States, Singapore, Morocco, and South Korea, employing documented empirical data and established theoretical frameworks. It subsequently examines the structural, cultural, and institutional conditions of the Algerian startup ecosystem—assessing Algeria’s nascent digital economy, the legislative framework instituted by the Start-up Act of 2020, and the evolution of tech clusters in Algiers and Oran—to ascertain the degree to which international models are transferable, adaptable, or require total reinvention. The paper asserts that while no sole worldwide model is directly relevant, a hybrid framework customized to Algeria's distinct constraints and opportunities is a viable and necessary advancement. Suggested tangible implications for creators of Algerian businesses, politicians, and ecosystem architects.

French Colonisation of Sub-Saharan Africa at the End of the 19th Century: Colonial Administration and Dimensions of National Resistance
type: item
description: During the second half of the nineteenth century, the African continent witnessed extensive French colonial expansion, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, within the framework of the European rivalry known as the ‘Scramble for Africa’. France sought to extend its political, economic and military influence from its North African colonies, occupying vast territories such as Senegal, Chad, Gabon and the Congo, with the aim of creating an interconnected colonial empire stretching from the Mediterranean to Central Africa. Its expansion relied on military campaigns, the conclusion of treaties with local leaders, and the exploitation of military and technological superiority. This expansion was driven by economic motives, namely the search for raw materials and new markets, as well as political motives linked to enhancing France’s international standing following its defeat by Germany in 1871. French expansion was met with strong national resistance from African peoples who rejected the occupation and defended their sovereignty and identity. This resistance took the form of armed uprisings and popular movements, most notably the resistance of Samori Touré in West Africa. Other forms of resistance also emerged, including political rejection and the preservation of local traditions and culture. Understood.

Impact of Food Processing on Nutrient Retention: A Comprehensive Review of Thermal and Non-Thermal Methods
type: item
description: The preservation of vital nutrients can be affected by food processing, which is also important for making sure food is safe, making it last longer, and making it taste better. There is still a lot of worry about how thermal processing techniques like boiling, pasteurization, and sterilization affect the nutritional value of food, despite their widespread use for decades. The nutritional content of processed foods can be diminished due to the breakdown of bioactive molecules, vitamins, and minerals caused by heat. On the other hand, non-thermal food processing methods like high-pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric fields (PEF), and ultraviolet (UV) light have become popular due to their capacity to maintain food quality while reducing nutrient loss to a minimum. The purpose of this review is to give a thorough examination of thermal and non-thermal processing methods, with an emphasis on how they affect the retention of nutrients in different types of food. The ways in which enzyme activity, temperature sensitivity, and oxidation are impacted by various processing processes on the stability of nutrients. Regarding the nutritional value of foods, it also goes over the pros and cons of different methods. that there are viable alternatives to conventional thermal processes that do not include heat, and that these methods may be able to preserve more nutrients and provide food of better quality. In order to help improve food processing technologies and preserve nutritional content, this review finishes by recommending areas for further research. This should lead to healthier food systems and improved customer choices.

The Hidden Vicious Cycles in Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) : A Psychological and Neurological Approach
type: item
description: This study presents the hidden vicious cycles in Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) through an analysis of its symptoms alongside behavioral and emotional dynamics, for we rely on a descriptive-analytical approach informed by psychological studies, theories, and field experience. Our analysis is grounded in Weiner’s causal theory and neuroscience, and our goal is to identify the most important vicious cycles that contribute to the disorder’s persistence or exacerbation. The insights from this analysis can be instrumental in psychoeducation—a fundamental component of psychotherapy—as they help to explain the nature of the problem, its causes. We have, consequently, identified the most important vicious cycles operating at the psychological, behavioral, cognitive, emotional, relational, and neurological levels.

Immunological Responses to Viral Infections: A Comparative Study
type: item
description: Viral infections trigger complex immune responses involving both innate and adaptive immune systems. The nature and effectiveness of these responses vary depending on the type of virus, host factors, and the interaction between viral mechanisms and immune defenses. This study provides a comparative analysis of immunological responses to different viral infections, highlighting similarities and differences in host defense strategies. The innate immune response serves as the first line of defense, involving physical barriers, interferons, natural killer (NK) cells, and inflammatory processes that limit viral replication. Subsequently, the adaptive immune system is activated, characterized by the production of virus-specific antibodies by B cells and the activation of T lymphocytes that target infected cells. The balance between these responses determines the outcome of infection, whether it results in viral clearance, persistence, or immune-mediated damage. The study compares immune responses across various viral infections, examining factors such as antigen recognition, cytokine production, immune evasion strategies, and memory formation. It also explores how certain viruses can evade immune detection through mutation or suppression of host defenses, leading to chronic infections or increased pathogenicity.

The Role of the Legal Regulation of Electronic Food Contracts in Strengthening Food Security and Consumer Protection in Algerian Legislation
type: item
description: The expansion of electronic commerce has transformed the ways in which consumers access goods and services, including food products. In Algeria, this transformation raises important legal issues because the online sale of food does not concern ordinary goods only; it concerns products directly connected to public health, consumer safety, traceability, storage, transport, labelling, conformity and contractual liability. The electronic food contract is therefore a complex legal relationship situated at the intersection of electronic commerce law, consumer protection law, food safety requirements, electronic evidence and personal data protection. This intervention examines the role of the legal regulation of electronic food contracts in strengthening food security and consumer protection under Algerian legislation. It focuses mainly on Law No. 18-05 of 10 May 2018 relating to electronic commerce, Law No. 09-03 of 25 February 2009 relating to consumer protection and the repression of fraud, and Law No. 15-04 of 1 February 2015 laying down the general rules relating to electronic signature and electronic certification.[1] [2] [3] The central argument is that effective protection in the online food sector cannot be achieved merely by recognising the validity of electronic contracts. It also requires transparent online offers, reliable identification of the electronic supplier, accurate pre-contractual food information, conformity and safety guarantees, secure payment, electronic evidence, personal data protection, and effective remedies in cases of non-conformity or harm.

Activating the Value Chain in Algerian Universities Through Porter’s Perspective: A Strategic Approach to Digital Transformation
type: item
description: This study examines the role of activating the value chain, from Porter’s perspective, in Algerian universities as a strategic approach to supporting digital transformation. The importance of the research lies in understanding how value-chain components enhance digital efficiency within universities and how they affect institutional capacity to adapt to the requirements of the contemporary educational environment. A descriptive, analytical, and quantitative approach was adopted. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of 179 university teachers and analysed using exploratory factor analysis, specifically principal component analysis. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between value-chain activation and digital transformation. High factor loadings for service, operations, marketing, infrastructure, and inbound logistics indicate that these dimensions constitute fundamental pillars of digital efficiency. The findings also show that the impact of the value chain varies according to university characteristics: institutions with stronger infrastructure and resources achieve better outcomes than those with limited capacity. The study confirms that the value chain is a pivotal strategic tool for guiding universities’ digital transformation efforts by strengthening physical and digital infrastructure, developing human capacities, improving internal operations, and activating marketing and communication mechanisms, thereby ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of this transformation.

Market Regulation and Protection of Economic Transactions in Algerian Law: The Competition Council as a Model
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate and analyze the legal and procedural role of the Algerian Competition Council as an essential mechanism for protecting the integrity of economic transactions and regulating the market. Employing both descriptive and analytical approaches, the study examines the Council's legal framework and historical evolution through Decrees (95-06), (03-03), and the subsequent amendment (08-12), highlighting its institutional transition into an independent administrative authority. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the Council’s enforcement mechanisms (combating cartels, controlling economic concentrations, and monitoring anti-competitive practices in public procurement) along with its procedural tools (consultation, investigation, interim measures, and financial penalties). The study concludes that the Council’s effectiveness in curbing market distortions and ensuring commercial transparency remains constrained by its budgetary dependence on the Ministry of Commerce and calls for enhancing its investigative autonomy.

Research on the Types of Agricultural Finance
type: item
description: The shift to environmentally friendly farming and food production is not supported by the financial infrastructure that is necessary to enable it. Since the beginning of time, the industries have received a very little amount of money from financial institutions, microfinance organisations, and institutional investors. At the moment, the proportion of the gross domestic product that is contributed by the agriculture sector is too low in lending and investment portfolios. Along the agriculture value chains, there are a large number of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and small farmers, in addition to the unique risks that agriculture presents. The financial markets also have to deal with a limited effective demand for finance, a lack of expertise among financial institutions in managing agricultural loan portfolios, and a large number of small farmers. On the other hand, a great number of countries have imposed regulations and instruments that are either inadequate or ineffective, which has resulted in a reduction in the number of available channels for the mobilisation of private capital.

Algerian Sufism and religious transnationalism in the Sahara and Sahel region: A test of resilience in the face of mobile Islamism
type: item
description: Religious movements that transcend national borders pose a significant challenge to Algerian Sufism, which is locally rooted yet regionally interconnected. This study explores the dynamics between Algerian Sufism and mobile Islamism seeking to establish itself in the Sahel region. It examines, firstly, the impact of transnational networks on the spread of Sufism and its adaptation in Algeria and neighbouring countries; and, secondly, how the exchange of practices and teachings among religious scholars contributes to the harmonisation of Sufi traditions, whilst grounding them in local contexts. The study also highlights the central role of major Sufi orders, such as the Tijaniyyah, Qadiriyyah, Rahmaniyyah, Shadhiliyyah, Balqaydiyyah and Muridiyyah, which maintain close ties with their counterparts in neighbouring countries; these transnational networks facilitate the exchange of religious teachings and practices. Algerian Sufism has developed innovative strategies of resistance in the face of the rise of radical Islamism, focusing on strengthening Sufi identity, developing social and charitable activities, utilising the media and digital technology, as well as cooperating with the authorities and fostering dialogue between different communities and the local population. This study seeks to examine Algerian Sufism as a Sufi-order-based counter-narrative to radical Islam, through the lens of transnational religiosity in the Sahel-Sahara region. At a time when armed jihadist and rebel groups are working to undermine state institutions in the region, Sufism, with its various branches and orders, offers an alternative narrative to jihadism, whilst remaining part of transnational dynamics. This research aims to highlight the crucial role played by Algerian Sufism in promoting a moderate and tolerant Islam in the face of the challenges posed by the Islamist movement in the Sahel and the Sahara region; it is a research contribution towards a better understanding of transnati…

Evolution of Astrology: Historical Roots and Contemporary Relevance
type: item
description: Astrology, which is one of the oldest systems of knowledge, has undergone substantial development across civilizations while yet retaining its cultural and symbolic significance. The purpose of this study is to trace the historical history of astrology, beginning with its early origins in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and progressing to its systematic formulation in Greek, Islamic, and Indian traditions, including its incorporation into the Vedas. The study illustrates how astrology adapted to different intellectual, religious, and cultural contexts by evaluating its alteration throughout time. This is accomplished by examining how it has changed over time. A more individualized system that focuses on individual horoscopes and character interpretation is the subject of this investigation, which investigates the evolution of astrology from a practice that included the observation of celestial bodies and was connected to agriculture and ceremonial time. A further aspect that is taken into consideration is the impact of scientific developments, notably those that occurred during the Enlightenment period. These advancements posed a challenge to the empirical validity of astrology and contributed to its downfall within academic discourse. Despite this, astrology continued to be influential in popular culture and in the belief systems of everyday people. Astrology has had a significant rebirth in the modern period, which can be attributed to the proliferation of digital media, the increased interconnection of the world, and the resurrection of interest in alternative frameworks of self-understanding. The manner in which contemporary astrology combines traditional ideas with current issues such as identity, mental health, and social belonging.

Pierre Bourdieu between Philosophical Foundation and Sociological Reproduction
type: item
description: This research paper examines the philosophical-sociological project of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most prominent thinkers to bring philosophy and sociology together. Bourdieu sought to establish a critical perspective that reveals the relationship between knowledge and power within society,drawing upon an intellectual and philosophical background shaped by Marxism,structuralism, and phenomenology. However,he moved beyond these frameworks towards an analysis of social reality and the dlisclosure of the mechanisms of symbolic domination through a conceptual apparatus comprising fundamental notions such as cultural capital,habitus,symbolic capital, and the social field. Bourdieu's significance, therefore,lies in his transition from a theoretical philosophical foundation to the construction of a critical sociology.

Machine Learning and Astrology: Can Algorithms Predict Human Outcomes Better
type: item
description: Predictive modeling has been revolutionized across domains as a result of the rapid growth of machine learning, which has raised doubts regarding its potential to surpass traditional belief-based systems such as astrology in terms of anticipating human outcomes. using astrological frameworks that rely on astronomical configurations and symbolic interpretation, the comparative prediction capabilities of algorithmic models produced inside Machine Learning and astrological frameworks. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which machine learning models make use of massive datasets, statistical patterns, and computational approaches in order to develop predictions concerning behavior, decision-making, and life outcomes. On the other hand, astrology is based on broad correlations between planetary positions and human characteristics, and therefore does not have any empirical validation or consistent repeatability for its predictions. The research shows the methodological contrasts between data-driven prediction and interpretive belief systems by comparing these two techniques and revealing the differences between them. In addition, the research investigates the psychological attractiveness of astrology, despite the fact that machine learning models have been shown to be accurate. There are a number of factors that contribute to the continuous relevance of astrology, even in environments that are technologically advanced. These factors include cognitive biases, emotional demands, and cultural effects.

Plastic Pollution and Its Impact on Marine Ecosystems
type: item
description: The widespread and urgent problem of plastic pollution has become a major environmental concern in the modern era, endangering marine habitats and the species that depend on them. Mismanagement of municipal garbage, industrial discharge, and an inadequate recycling infrastructure are the main land-based sources of the 8-12 million metric tons of plastic waste that ends up in the oceans every year. When plastics enter the ocean, they break down into smaller pieces called microplastics and nano plastics. These tiny particles are resistant to degradation and end up in every part of the marine food chain. Ingestion, entanglement, habitat modification, exposure to harmful chemicals, and absorbed pollution all have negative effects on marine animals, from tiny plankton to huge mammals. Disruptions to ecological balance and population decreases result from interactions that hinder eating, reproduction, and survival. Plastic pollution has far-reaching social and economic effects; it endangers human health and food security due to the bioaccumulation of microplastics in seafood and destroys coastal economies, fisheries, and aquaculture. The issue is still not fully addressed owing to rising plastic production, insufficient enforcement, and disparities in global capacity to handle it. Efforts to address it have focused on better waste management, international agreements, circular economy models, and public awareness campaigns. the causes, distribution, and effects of marine plastic pollution; the domino effect it has on marine life and human health; and the critical need for concerted, evidence-based policymaking and global collaboration to preserve marine ecosystems for the benefit of generations to come.

Quality Standards in Salam Contracts and Their Role in Defining and Regulating the Muslam Fīh: A Jurisprudential Study in Contemporary Islamic Finance
type: item
description: This study examines the role of quality standards in defining and regulating the Muslam Fīh in Salam contracts. Salam occupies a distinctive place in Islamic jurisprudence because it permits a sale in which the Muslam Fīh is delivered at a future date, although the price is paid in advance. This exceptional permissibility serves productive and commercial needs, yet it remains governed by strict Shariah controls intended to remove uncertainty, prevent gharar, and protect the contracting parties from future disputes. The study argues that quality is not merely a technical description added to the commodity. Rather, it is a juristic instrument that gives the Muslam Fīh a legally sufficient degree of determinacy. By defining the attributes that affect value, utility, and market acceptance, quality standards transform an absent commodity into a clearly described obligation capable of performance and verification.

SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO PROSPECTIVE MONITORING (VEILLE PROSPECTIVE) THE PROBLEMATIC OF DEFINITION AND METHODOLOGY
type: item
description: This article examines the epistemological and methodological problematics surrounding the concept of prospective monitoring (veille prospective) within sociology. It first addresses two main definitional issues: the multiplicity of terms used interchangeably (e.g., economic intelligence, competitive intelligence, strategic anticipative monitoring) and the question of whether “future” should be used in the singular or plural, arguing that the plural (“futures”) allows for multiple, adaptable scenarios rather than a single predetermined model. The article then reviews six sociological approaches to foresight: the positivist approach (Auguste Comte), which seeks to predict in order to control; the Marxist approach (Karl Marx), based on class conflict and linear stages of development; the Weberian approach (Max Weber), using ideal types and causal analysis; the phenomenological approach (Husserl, Schütz, Garfinkel), focusing on everyday lived experience and meanings; the Khaldunian approach (Ibn Khaldūn), centred on ‘aṣabiyyah (group solidarity) and the cyclical rise and fall of civilisations; and the critical approach (Bourdieu, Sporck, Malik Bennabi), which emphasises critique of the present to open up possible and desirable futures.

The Position of the Sublime Porte (the Ottoman Empire) toward the French Blockade of Algeria (1827–1830): An Organized Overview of Ottoman Diplomatic Action
type: item
description: This article examines the position of the Ottoman Sublime Porte regarding the French naval blockade imposed on the Regency of Algiers between 1827 and 1830, through an analysis of the dimensions of Ottoman diplomatic action in response to French escalation, which culminated in military invasion and the fall of Algiers. The crisis began with the issue of accumulated debts owed by France to Algeria, and then escalated following the Fly Whisk incident in 1827, which France used as a pretext to impose a prolonged naval blockade on Algiers in preparation for its occupation. The article seeks to analyze the nature of the Ottoman position toward this crisis and to uncover the limits and reasons for Ottoman intervention, in light of the complex international circumstances in which the Ottoman Empire was operating, particularly its involvement in the Greek War of Independence, its conflict with Russia, and the repercussions of the Eastern Question. It also highlights the diplomatic efforts undertaken by the Sublime Porte through its envoys, such as Khalil Effendi and Tahir Pasha, to attempt to settle the dispute between France and Algiers through peaceful means, while clarifying the obstacles imposed by France to frustrate these efforts. The article concludes that the Ottoman Empire, despite recognizing its nominal sovereignty over Algiers and issuing diplomatic protests against the blockade, was unable to provide effective military support due to its internal conditions and international pressures. This situation allowed France to implement its colonial project and occupy Algeria in 1830, marking one of the most significant phases of Ottoman decline in the Islamic Maghreb.

Cross‑pattern translanguaging in the university environment: A new interpretive model for Arabic–English alternation in academic and digital communication
type: item
description: This article examines the phenomenon of cross‑pattern translanguaging in the university environment by studying the alternation between Arabic and English in academic and digital communication contexts. It starts from the basic hypothesis that this alternation is no longer merely a partial linguistic phenomenon to be explained solely by structural or educational factors, but has become a complex communicative practice in which linguistic, pragmatic, institutional and digital dimensions intersect. The article seeks to construct a new interpretive model that makes it possible to understand this alternation as a communicative behaviour shaped by the nature of the situation, the type of medium, the identity of the interactants, and the symbolic and cognitive functions that both Arabic and English perform within the university domain. The article also discusses the presence of this alternation in lectures, scientific discussions, academic writing, digital correspondence, and e‑learning platforms, highlighting that the shift between the two languages is not always spontaneous but is governed by considerations related to scientific precision, conceptual economy, academic prestige, group belonging, and the demands of rapid digital interaction. The article concludes that understanding multilingualism in the contemporary university requires moving beyond traditional conceptions of code‑switching and adopting an interpretive approach that is open to the interaction of language with medium, institution and social practice, thereby allowing a deeper appreciation of the profound changes that university communication is undergoing in the digital environment.

Artistic and Semantic Developments in Prophetic Praise Poetry: A Comparative Study of the Classical and Modern Periods
type: item
description: This study addresses the importance of prophetic praise in Arabic poetry and traces the development of this art form from classical to modern times through the personality of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who has served since the early years of the Islamic mission as a central focus of Arabic poetry, one of the oldest and most prestigious Arab arts. The personality of the Prophet (peace be upon him) has consistently been a primary subject of one of the most important Arabic poetic genres: religious poetry, which deals with themes of divine oneness, divine love, and praise of the Prophet and his household. While the beginnings of prophetic praise date back to the early years of the Hijra, this art form evolved over time through the works of numerous poets across Islamic history, eventually becoming an independent genre with its own characteristics and methods. Today, prophetic praise constitutes one of the most significant literary arts in modern Islamic societies.
