Facteurs associés aux grossesses en milieu scolaire : étude menée dans les écoles fondamentales et post-fondamental en commune de Gatara, au Burundi.
Section: Articles Keywords: Grossesses précoces, milieu scolaire, facteurs associés, sexualité Les grossesses en milieu scolaire constituent un problème majeur de santé publique et de l’éducation dans les pays en développement comme le Burundi. Cette étude vise à identifier les facteurs associés aux grossesses chez les élèves de la commune de Gatara au Burundi. Une approche quantitative a été adoptée à travers une enquête par questionnaire auprès d’un échantillon de 278 élèves. Les données ont été analysées à l’aide du logiciel SPSS en faisant le test du Khi-deux afin d’identifier les relations significatives entre les variables. Les résultats montrent que plusieurs facteurs sont significativement associés aux grossesses en milieu scolaire, notamment les conditions socio-économiques défavorables des ménages, le manque criant de communication entre parents et enfants sur la sexualité et santé de la reproduction ainsi que le niveau de formation des parents des élèves. L’étude met en évidence l’importance de renforcer l’éducation sexuelle, d’améliorer le dialogue familial et de mettre en place des politiques éducatives adaptées pour réduire ce phénomène devenu habituel en Commune Gatara.

Déterminants et disparités spatiales de l’insécurité alimentaire des ménages au Burundi : Une modélisation nationale basée sur l’approche CARI
Section: Articles Keywords: Insécurité alimentaire, Approche CARI, Modèle logistique ordinal, Déterminants socio-économiques, Burundi Le Burundi fait face à une vulnérabilité des moyens de subsistance, accentuée par une forte pression démographique, l'exiguïté foncière et des chocs multiformes. Atteindre l'Objectif de Développement Durable (ODD 2) nécessite une identification précise des facteurs sous-jacents de cette instabilité. Cette étude vise à analyser les déterminants socio-économiques et les disparités spatiales de l'insécurité alimentaire des ménages au Burundi. En s'appuyant sur les données de l'Enquête Nationale sur la Situation Nutritionnelle et de Sécurité Alimentaire (ENSNSAB), l'échantillon national de 14430 ménages a été pondéré afin d’obtenir des estimations représentatives d’une population de 1819974 ménages. La sécurité alimentaire a été mesurée selon l'approche standardisée CARI (Consolidated Approach for Reporting Indicators of Food Security) du PAM, et les déterminants ont été quantifiés à l'aide d'un modèle logistique ordinal (Ordered Logit). Les déterminants économiques jouent un rôle important dans l’insécurité alimentaire. Au niveau spatial, les résultats montrent que la région centre est particulièrement vulnérable et que le milieu rural présente un risque d’insécurité alimentaire deux fois supérieur au milieu urbain. L'exposition aux chocs extérieurs et la morbidité au sein du ménage aggravent significativement l'insécurité alimentaire en réduisant les capacités économiques des ménages. À l'inverse, le capital humain et productif jouent un rôle hautement protecteur : l'absence d'instruction du chef de ménage, ou le manque de bétail double la probabilité d’appartenir aux catégories sévères d’insécurité alimentaire. Enfin, les structures démographiques montrent un effet plus modeste, où les ménages dirigés par une femme présentent une probabilité légèrement plus faible d’insécurité alimentaire

Constructing “Palestinian Terror” and Pro-Zionist Sympathy in British Tory Press: The Sun’s Coverage of the War on Gaza as a Study Case.
Section: Articles Keywords: Orientalism, Tory Press, Gaza war, constructing terror, rule of law. This article analyses the language the British newspaper the Sun uses in its coverage of the ongoing war on Palestine. It aims at demonstrating the manner in which the Sun constructs “Palestinian terror”, versus Israeli rule of law and legitimacy as a state. It argues that the Sun’s annual report of the war on Gaza blindsides the resistance side in the conflict, where resistance is portrayed as a group of outlaw thugs and terrorist, serving as a “terror-proxy for the tyrannical terroristic regime of Iran,” with no visible leadership, or signs of an organized and democratically-elected civil authority in Gaza, while Israel is the isle of democracy in a sea of despotism holding the torch of enlightenment and freedom guaranteed by rule of law, and is courageously battling Oriental forces of darkness. The article uses Critical Discourse Analysis, combined with Saidian Orientalist Discourse analysis to demonstrate the language tools the Sun uses to construct “Palestinian terror” and lawlessness as opposed to Israeli statehood and rule of law.

The New Middle East in Formation: Sovereignty, Deterrence, and Regional Order amid Israel's Gaza Campaign, the Iran Crisis, and Gulf Security Recalibration
Section: Articles Keywords: New Middle East; regional order; Israeli military campaign in Gaza; Palestinian question; Iran; Strait of Hormuz; Gulf security; deterrence; sovereignty; Türkiye; Egypt; Saudi Arabia; Pakistan; strategic autonomy This article defines the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East as a regional order in formation. It does not treat recent events as isolated crises. It argues that the region is being reorganized through the interaction of five pressures: Israel's prolonged military campaign in Gaza; the Iran crisis and the weaponization of maritime chokepoints; the erosion of confidence in external security guarantees; the return of middle powers; and the renewed centrality of the Palestinian question. The central claim is that the Middle East is moving away from a hierarchy built around U.S. primacy, Arab-Israeli normalization, and Iran containment alone. It is entering a more fragmented order in which sovereignty, deterrence, humanitarian legitimacy, and strategic autonomy are all contested at the same time. The Israeli strike in Qatar is therefore not the core of the article. It is treated only as one revealing episode within a broader regional transformation. The article gives special attention to the main actors shaping the emerging order: the United States, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and international legal institutions. It argues that the new Middle East is not yet a stable system. It is a field of overlapping crises. Its future will depend on whether regional actors convert shock into diplomacy, or allow deterrence failures to widen into a more destructive confrontation

The Impact of Arab “Eastern Maritime Trade” from the 7th to the 15th Century on the Southeast Asian Archipelagic Region
Section: Articles Keywords: Arabs; Eastern Maritime Trade; Southeast Asian Archipelagic Region From the 7th to the 15th century, Arab seafarers navigated extensively and were active in the major ports of the Indian Ocean, gradually emerging as one of the principal forces in maritime commerce across the region. They established a vast trading network that stretched westward to the Iberian Peninsula and East Africa, and eastward to the coasts of China. Particularly noteworthy was the maritime route linking the Arabian Peninsula with China. The Southeast Asian archipelagic region, as a crucial segment of this voyage, was profoundly affected. In this historical process, Arab trade exerted three core influences on Southeast Asia. Politically, the prosperity of long-distance commerce facilitated the formation and development of centralized states. Economically, the trade network incorporated Southeast Asia into the broader global economic system. Socio-culturally, Arab merchants—acting as transmitters of Islam—contributed to the widespread dissemination of Islam along the coastal areas of Southeast Asia, laying the foundation for the modern Islamic cultural sphere in the region. By systematically examining the development trajectory and mechanisms of Arab trade in Southeast Asia, this study highlights the decisive role of external commercial forces in regional historical evolution and provides an important historical perspective for understanding premodern cross-cultural interactions and early globalization.

The use of a learning platform to face the challenges of the Moroccan university: Case of Rosetta Stone
Section: Articles Keywords: educational technology, learning theories, national context, educational platform. This study explores the role of digital learning platforms in addressing the challenges of Moroccan higher education, with a focus on Rosetta Stone as a language learning tool. Drawing on active learning theories, the research evaluates how the platform supports personalized, interactive learning while considering local constraints such as massification and language barriers. A quantitative analysis was conducted with 165 university students using a pedagogical questionnaire. Findings reveal that Rosetta Stone effectively applies behaviorist, constructivist, and cognitivist principles but shows limitations in socioconstructivist and connectivist approaches due to limited social interaction and cultural adaptation. The study recommends enhancing the platform through translation options, collaborative tools, personalized feedback, and culturally relevant content to better align with Moroccan learners’ needs. Ultimately, the research underscores the importance of adapting digital platforms to local contexts to foster more effective and motivating learning experiences.

A Comprehensive Review of Blockchain and Federated Learning Integration for Secure Healthcare Systems
Section: Articles Keywords: Healthcare, IoMT, Blockchain, Federated learning, Data security. The swift advancement and growth of Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies have strengthened the way we live and our quality of life. Health is the most sensitive area of application of IoT given its relationship with human well-being. The use of IoT in healthcare is called the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). It has become a booming trend aimed at improving the health and well-being of billions of people by providing seamless medical facilities and improving services provided by doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical companies and other governmental and related non-governmental organizations. The amount of data generated by the human body every day is two terabytes. We can now collect most of it by the advancement of these technologies including information on heart rate, sleep patterns, blood sugar, stress levels and even brain activity. That is why the security of this data, especially in real time, becomes a major concern. This article aims to explore the role of integration of Blockchain technology with federated learning in strengthening data security and ensuring privacy in healthcare sector. We aim to present a concise yet comprehensive overview of the Blockchain integration with federated learning in securing health data and ensuring privacy in the healthcare sector.

Teaching British Civilisation to EFL Learners in the AI Era
Section: Articles Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI Literacy, British Civilisation, Cultural Studies, Critical Thinking, Digital Pedagogy, EFL Learning, Intercultural Competence. The emergence of artificial intelligence is reshaping the teaching of British Civilisation to EFL learners, offering both new opportunities and significant challenges. AI-powered tools enable access to authentic multimodal materials-historical documents, cultural artefacts, political data, and media representations—while providing personalised scaffolding that supports comprehension and engagement. Intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, and automated summaries can help students navigate complex socio-historical content and develop intercultural awareness. However, the increasing reliance on AI raises pedagogical concerns, including the risks of factual inaccuracies, cultural oversimplification, algorithmic bias, and diminished critical inquiry. Educators must balance AI’s efficiency with the humanities-driven goals of interpretation, contextual analysis, and reflective thinking. Effective teaching of British Civilisation in the AI era requires cultivating students’ AI literacy, fostering critical engagement with sources, and preserving the human dimension of cultural learning. This integrated approach ensures that technology enhances rather than replaces the deep cultural understanding essential to civilisation studies.

Investigating Orientalist Claims of Antisemitism in the Arab World and Morocco in the late 19th Century: Bernard Lewis’s Accounts of Jewish Experience as Study Case
Section: Articles Keywords: Keywords: 19th century Arab antisemitism, Jewish experience, Orientalist discourse, Bernard Lewis, Orientalist criticism. Western attitudes to Jews changed drastically after World War Two. Historians of the experience of Jewish life everywhere in the world started rewriting this history from a more sympathetic angle. Perhaps more than any other religious group, the experience of Jews has had a remarkable presence in print, film, media and all forms of narratives transmission. One of the most prominent historians of Jews’ experience in the Arab world and in Morocco is the British Orientalist Bernard Lewis. He belongs to, a by now, dubious discipline that became notorious for its ideological biases and discursive slippages that demonize its subjects of study and predispose public opinion in the West to tolerate aggression against the Arabs. Whence our interest in examining Lewis’s narratives of Jewish experience at a turning point in the history of both Arabs and Jews: the late 19th century. Given modern Westerners sympathy with Israel and their rewriting of the history of the Jews, and given Orientalist discourse’ ideological biases, it is incumbent on us to examine to what extent were Lewis’s accounts fair in their narrative.
Keywords: 19th century Arab antisemitism, Jewish experience, Orientalist discourse, Bernard Lewis, Orientalist criticism.
Wartime Encounters, Diasporic Divides: African American and French Colonial Troops in the Great War
Section: Articles Keywords: The Great War, people of African descent, race, diaspora, décalage This article explores one of the least charted episodes of the Great War, in which race and diaspora intersected to shape the experiences of African American and French African troops and workers deployed to France during the global conflict. Using Brent Edwards’s concept of “décalage” in the field of diaspora studies, this article examines African American narratives of the Great War to map the role of the people of African descent in the war, looking for the roots of “the chasm” that developed between people of African descent in their diaspora in France. The racial and colonial circumstances that brought them to the war in Europe, their reception by the French, and their views of each other offer new perspectives on the chasm that developed between them in their diaspora in France. This chasm gradually gave rise to different diasporas, characterised by a permanent décalage between people sharing the same race and descent.

From the Sharifian Army to the Soldiers of the Tricolor Recruitment and Perceptions of Moroccan Troops during the Great War
Section: Articles Keywords: Moroccan colonial troops, the Great War, shift of allegiance, European perceptions This article examines the fate of Moroccan colonial troops recruited by the French colonial authority in Morocco during the early years of the French Protectorate and the Great War. It highlights the transformation of Moroccan forces from soldiers in the Sharifian Army to colonial troops defending the French tricolor, revealing the multi-scalar impact of colonialism on Moroccan society in general and the military in particular. The Fez mutiny against French training officers in 1912, the anti-colonial insurgency in the Atlas Mountains, and the sudden ‘shift of allegiance’ and recruitment into the colonial army in the ‘pacified’ areas are manifestations of this multi-scalar impact. While the French presented this military shift of allegiance as an act of ‘volunteerism’ on the part of the natives, the process conceals various forms of coercion and economic hardship that were exacerbated during the Great War. The article concludes with an exploration of the European racialized forms of representation of colonial soldiers, despite their role and heavy sacrifices in the war.

The Fiduciary Obligation: A Proposal for the Sudanese Courts and Legislature
Section: Articles Keywords: Trust, Conflict of Interest, Unjust Enrichment, Equity, Secret Profits, Fiduciary Duties. This paper discusses the different aspects of the fiduciary obligation with specific emphasis on the position of Sudan. The historical aspects that connect the fiduciary obligation with Sudan and the Sudanese legal system are explored to build up a realistic scheme of proposals for the future The fiduciary obligation originated in equity under the old English legal system. Originally, there were two separate streams of courts in England which were, common law courts and equity courts. This continued until the two systems of courts were merged by the Judicature Act 1873. The main function of equity courts was to do justice to cases where the rigid rules (writs of actions) of common law fail to do so. In Sudan we have a history of the formula of Justice, Equity, and Good Conscience, brought to our courts by the British with the purpose of filling up the gaps in the law at that time. It was aimed at encouraging judges to think of the best approach to decide cases when no clear legal rule can be found to cover the particular situation. On this basis, the concept of the fiduciary obligation as a product of equity, has a solid historical foundation in the Sudanese legal system. The analysis will provide clear evidence of the relevance of fiduciary concept to Sudanese law[1]. We will discuss the origin of the concept, its definition, scope and the constituent duties it embraces[2]. Full understanding shall be the cornerstone in causing the fiduciary concept to be applied in a conscious and intended way by the Sudanese courts, and cause Sudanese writers to give it more attention. We will arrive at certain suggestions and recommendations that will rely on our legal heritage and previous practices and explain how they can be enhanced and employed to further support the application of the fiduciary obligation in Sudan. [1] We will follow the historical background of the Sudanese jurisprudence in the fiduciary law, to help us build on that to provide realistic proposals for the future. [2] The fiduciary obligation is a broad concept that embodies a number of subordinate duties, reference to the fiduciary obligation is reference to the concept or principle, whereas reference to the fiduciary obligations or fiduciary duties refers to the group of subordinate duties.

The role of marginal capital adequacy in reducing risks and enhancing banking performance an analytical study of a sample of commercial banks in Iraq
Section: Articles Keywords: Marginal capital adequacy, risks, commercial banks, banking performance, banks Capital adequacy and risk management in banks is one of the most important topics that economists have given great attention to, both economically and from a banking perspective, following the crisis that struck the global economy and led to the bankruptcy of several major banks. This research aims to analyze the relationship between capital, risk management, and banking performance, taking into account the challenges and special circumstances facing Iraqi banks. Given the importance of the topic at the local and international levels, international regulatory bodies have set standards and criteria for the adequacy of commercial banks' capital, the risks they face, the magnitude of these risks on banking sector indicators, and the measurement of their impact on capital and risk-weighted assets. Given the inadequacy of some provisions of international standards with the nature of private businesses in Iraq due to the underdevelopment of the banking sector in Iraq, this research attempts to shed light on the impact of capital adequacy on commercial banks.

U.S.-Saudi Relations in the Trump 2.0 Era from the perspective of Structural Power
Section: Articles Keywords: U.S.-Saudi relations; Trump 2.0; structural reconfiguration; development empowerment In the Trump 2.0 era, U.S.-Saudi relations have exhibited new features that transcend the traditional “security-oil-dollar” interaction structure. While downplaying ideological divergences, both sides have prioritized economic and technological cooperation. Through the reconfiguration of the “security-oil-dollar-investment” nexus and the deep embedding of production and knowledge structures, bilateral cooperation has been further intensified. Global structural shifts—exemplified by the energy transition and great-power technological rivalry—have provided external drivers for this restructuring. Driven simultaneously by domestic political-economic imperatives and the logic of hegemonic preservation, the United States has sought to reinforce its gravitational pull over Saudi Arabia through parallel “security empowerment” and “development empowerment”. In turn, under the deep coupling of regime security and developmental security, Saudi Arabia has treated cooperation with the United States as a pivotal lever for advancing Vision 2030 and national transformation, seeking greater developmental space and strategic autonomy through increased empowerment. The deepening of U.S.-Saudi relations not only intensifies bilateral interest interdependence but also generates profound implications for the regional power configuration in the Middle East and the trajectory of global great-power competition. Nevertheless, the bilateral relations remain constrained by multiple challenges, including U.S. policy uncertainty, persistent regional conflicts, structural contradictions in bilateral demands, and the inherent paradox between “empowerment” and “dependence”. The future trajectory thus remains marked by pervasive uncertainty.

An opinion article entitled: The Omani public's request for information about the explosion of wireless pager communication devices in Lebanon through digital media platforms
Section: Articles Keywords: Digital Media Platforms, Information request As the use of digital technologies in the content industry grows, content production has started to adopt new patterns in conveying current events, as it represents one of the key pillars of the success of news organizations. In particular, the explosion incident involving the wireless pager communication devices of Hezbollah members occurred because Israel planted explosive charges inside them. The party used these devices to enhance the security of its communications due to concerns about eavesdropping on its calls. Digital media platforms are known for providing information and news to the public regarding the incident of the explosion of wireless pager communication devices through text, audio, and images. In addition to helping attract the public's interest and deepen their understanding of the issues that concern them, this leads to the creation of a digital media environment based on interaction, dialogue, and participation between platform operators and the information-seeking audience. This leads to a higher level of interaction with the content presented, as the audience's behavior in seeking information is shaped by the activities the user undertakes while searching for the necessary information and the information sources that meet their needs.

EDUCATIONAL ASPIRATIONS AND THE EFFECT OF POVERTY AMONG YOUTHS IN NIGERIA
Section: Articles Quality education can be way out of poverty and an important factor in achieving quality in society, but at the same time, poverty can create significant barriers to quality and access to education. Poverty isn't only related to lack of income or resources, but also includes other manifestations such as hunger, malnutrition, pure access to education and basic services, in addition to social discrimination and lack of opportunities to participate in decision-making. Poverty and education have a reciprocal effect, access to high quality education is the best way out of poverty, and it helps achieve economic growth. Poverty deprives millions of people around the world of the opportunity to live a decent life and play an effective role in serving and advancing their communities. Lack of access to quality education is the main reason for the persistence of poverty in any society and its transmission from one generation to the next. Therefore, education remains one of the best ways to develop societies in a sustainable manner. But how can education as a dream and aspiration contribute to breaking this cycle that poor and developing societies suffer from, on this regards, this paper tends to highlight on the importance of education as an aspiration to poor youths to alleviate the severe effects of poverty among themselves in Nigeria. Keywords: education, poverty, anxiety, skills, violence.

The result also shows that, exchange rate, has significant and negative impact on manufacturing output; even though it was positive in the long run. Furthermore, Gross Fixed Capital Formation and Economic have significant impact on manufacturing output in Nigeria. The study recommended that, the focus of government industrial policy should be to encourage trade openness. The exchange rate should be strengthened and made more stable the growth induced policies should be emanated, as that will go a long way to improve and increase the output of the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.
L'enjeu de la population et du nationalisme tunisiens dans la propagande allemande durant la campagne de Tunisie (7 novembre 1942 – 13 mai 1943)
Section: Articles Keywords: propagande allemande, la campagne de Tunisie, milieux nationalistes tunisiens, l’Afrika Korps Notre contribution s’est attelée à restituer le contexte de la propagande allemande durant la campagne de Tunisie en saisissant son impact sur la population civile et les milieux nationalistes tunisiens. Nous nous sommes basés sur les archives de l’Afrika Korps compulsés par Herf (Jeffrey) dans Hitler, la propagande et le monde arabe(Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 2012), les mémoires dumajor Rudolph Rahn envoyé spécial d’Hitler à Tunis, avec le titre de ministre plénipotentiaire, du général Juin résident général intérimaire à Tunis (mai – juillet 1943), des deux militants nationalistes Bahi Ladgham et de Habib Nouira ainsi que le défrichement de l’organe néo destourien Ifriqiya Al Fatat autorisé par les forces allemandes durant l’occupation (janvier- mai 1943) et le récit-témoignage de Roger Casemajor, un des principaux responsables des Renseignements Généraux français en Tunisie sous le protectorat. Cet impact s’est révélé remuant, changeant au diapason des victoires allemandes contre les forces alliées avant le début de la campagne en novembre 1942 et ses replis et défaites par la suite. La population civile est demeurée grosso modo germanophile jusqu’à la finde la campagne et même du conflit mondial en 1945. Les milieux nationalistes divisés quant à la collaboration et l’alliance avec les forces allemandes entre les deux leaders Habib Bourguiba et Dr. Habib Thameur ne sont pas moins imperméables à la propagande antisémite nazie et demeurent attachés à l’indépendance de leur pays.
Section: Articles Keywords: United Nations, Disarmament, Peace, threat, war Disarmament is a challenge for United Nations, the international community wants to remove the threat of war. It sought to address the means by which nations could do so. The UN was created to "protect future generations from the horrors of war". It had to face the prospect of a war without winners or losers. Such a war would leave behind universal ruin. The UN had a compelling duty. Nevertheless, there is a growing sense of disappointment that the UN has become dysfunctional. It is no longer a forum for negotiations on arms control and disarmament. This article aims to evaluate the efforts made by the UN in this field, and then highlight the major difficulties it faces.
The Kursk Gambit: Analyzing Ukraine's Reckless Incursion and Its Implications for the Evolving Eastern European Conflict
Section: Articles Keywords: Kursk Incursion, Russia-Ukraine Conflict, Cross-Border Operations This paper examines the strategic implications of Ukraine's reported military incursion into Russia's Kursk region on August 6, 2024. It analyzes the immediate tactical outcomes, broader geopolitical consequences, and potential long-term impacts on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Section: Articles The Study aimed to identify the rate of public dependence on digital platforms supported by artificial intelligence technologies as a source of information about natural disasters. It used the descriptive approach in the style of a sample survey as a tool for collecting data. The sample consisted of (500) individuals from Egyptian and Jordanian citizens following the Moroccan earthquake disaster. The results reached: There is a statistically significant correlation between the rate of public reliance on digital news platforms supported by artificial intelligence technologies and the follow-up of the “Morocco Earthquake” disaster. This indicates that the greater the reliance on digital news platforms supported by technologies, the greater the follow-up to the “Morocco Earthquake” disaster; in addition, there are statistically significant differences between the forms of interaction of sample members with topics related to the damage resulting from the “Morocco Earthquake” disaster via digital platforms supported by artificial intelligence technologies according to the geographical distribution variable, and in the direction of the Egyptian audience, which indicates: the influence of news content on the importance of audience interaction with the news—transforming a receiver into a sender and sharer of information on his page.
A Suggested Proposal for The Algeria Open University as an Approach for Integrating Distance Learning with Traditional Campus Education
Section: Articles The study aimed at exploring the definition, justifications, objectives, characteristics of distance learning and how to integrate it with traditional campus education. The study used the descriptive analytical methodology to reach the targets in question. To gather the required data, a review of literature was conducted. The study came to the conclusion that the study suggests to integrate distance learning with traditional campus education in a unified system known as combined education that not only takes advantages of both types of learning but it benefits from e-learning and open education as well. The study makes the recommendations that adopting the idea of combined education is a must to overcome the problems traditional campus education undergoes especially at the time of lockdowns because of pandemics or political turmoil and to emphasize that distance learning is an integral part and equal to traditional campus education.
