Social Context of Civil Process for Sustainable Development
Get PDFA democratic society develops the concept of a social state, expressed in ensuring equal conditions for the participation of vulnerable persons in civil turnover. At the same time, humanity has agreed on a sustainable development plan, in which social sustainability is set as one of the main goals. Modern civil procedure law is mainly based on the codification of the 19th century, which in turn originates from the "Roman law" created precisely for the citizens of Rome. But since then, public relations have changed and modern technologies are constantly developing. The concept of a digital judge, smart contracts, and a blockchain system has already been developed. Therefore, it is necessary to update the civil procedure legislation to find out how it provides an equal platform for the participation of vulnerable persons in civil disputes. The purpose of this article is to discuss procedures for regulating civil disputes in a social context. As a result of identifying existing gaps, specific recommendations have been developed that will bring civil dispute resolution closer to sustainable development plans and ensure the participation of vulnerable persons in civil disputes on equal terms
The Role of Macroeconomic Variables in Forecasting Equity Market Volatility in the East Aftican Community
Get PDFThis study delves into the dynamic relationship between macroeconomic variables and equity market volatility in the East African Community. The research employs the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model coupled with the Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) approach. Through a comparative process, it is found that the different macroeconomic variables exhibit heterogeneous effects on the different countries in the East African community that is macroeconomic factors significantly explain the variation in stock market volatility in Uganda and including these factors in the GARCH MIDAS model improved its forecasting ability, however, for Kenya it was found that majority of the macroeconomic variables had insignificant effects on stock market volatility and didn’t improve the forecasting ability of the GARCH-MIDAS model

Défis et opportunités dans la gestion de carrière des enseignants africains: une analyse prospective
Get PDFCet article examine les défis et les perspectives d’avenir liés à la gestion des carrières des enseignants en Afrique, mettant en lumière des obstacles majeurs tels que la pénurie d’éducateurs qualifiés, des conditions de travail précaires et un manque de reconnaissance professionnelle. Ces facteurs compromettent non seulement la qualité de l’éducation, mais aussi la motivation des enseignants. L’étude repose sur un échantillon de 217 enseignants répartis dans plusieurs bassins pédagogiques, utilisant un questionnaire structuré pour évaluer la motivation professionnelle, la reconnaissance et l’accès à la formation continue. Les résultats révèlent des disparités significatives : par exemple, 75 % des enseignants du bassin de Mangave se sentent reconnus, contre seulement 55 % dans le bassin de Doualare. En matière de formation continue, 70 % des enseignants du bassin de Mangave y ont accès, tandis que ce chiffre tombe à 45 % dans le bassin de Doualare. La moyenne de motivation professionnelle est de 3.8 sur une échelle de 5, avec une motivation intrinsèque (4.2) supérieure à la motivation extrinsèque (3.6). De plus, 66 % des enseignants se sentent reconnus dans leur profession, soulignant l’importance de la reconnaissance pour maintenir l’engagement professionnel. Les analyses statistiques confirment ces résultats : les différences en motivation professionnelle (p <0.05) et en reconnaissance professionnelle (p <0.01) sont significatives, tandis que l’accès à la formation continue ne montre pas de variation significative (p >0.05). L’article souligne qu’une approche systémique et globale est nécessaire pour remédier à ces défis, nécessitant des réformes des politiques éducatives et un accroissement des investissements dans le secteur. Il appelle à une collaboration étroite entre les gouvernements, les établissements d’enseignement et les communautés locales pour créer un environnement propice au développement professionnel des enseignants africains. Malgré les obstacles rencontrés, l’engagement collectif peut contribuer à construire un avenir éducatif durable pour les enseignants et les étudiants en Afrique, garantissant ainsi une éducation de qualité pour les générations futures.
This article examines the challenges and future prospects related to the career management of teachers in Africa, highlighting major obstacles such as the shortage of qualified educators, precarious working conditions, and a lack of professional recognition. These factors compromise not only the quality of education but also the motivation of teachers. The study is based on a sample of 217 teachers distributed across several educational districts, using a structured questionnaire to assess professional motivation, recognition, and access to continuing education. The results reveal significant disparities: for example, 75% of teachers in the Mangave district feel recognized, compared to only 55% in the Doualare district. In terms of continuing education, 70% of teachers in the Mangave district have access to it, while this figure drops to 45% in the Doualare district. The average professional motivation score is 3.8 on a scale of 5, with intrinsic motivation (4.2) being higher than extrinsic motivation (3.6). Additionally, 66% of teachers feel recognized in their profession, underscoring the importance of recognition in maintaining professional engagement. The statistical analyses confirm these results: the differences in professional motivation (p <0.05) and professional recognition (p <0.01) are significant, while access to continuing education shows no significant variation (p >0.05). The article emphasizes that a systemic and comprehensive approach is necessary to address these challenges, requiring reforms in educational policies and increased investment in the sector. It calls for close collaboration between governments, educational institutions, and local communities to create an environment conducive to the professional development of African teachers. Despite the obstacles faced, collective commitment can contribute to building a sustainable educational future for teachers and students in Africa, thereby ensuring quality education for future generations
Encouraging Rural Engagement of Young People: Understanding Career Choices of Students in the Agribusiness Sector
Get PDFAgriculture is one of the main economic sectors in Albania, contributing to about 20% of the GDP and about 45% of the employment opportunities. The high rate of youth migration represents a threat to the future and sustainability of the agriculture sector. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence the career choice of young people in terms of rural engagement and explore the challenges that hinder them from selecting agriculture as their career path. This paper focuses on the students of the Faculty of Economy and Agribusiness at the Agricultural University of Tirana (AUT), as agribusiness is a closely related field to agriculture. The results show that employment opportunities, personal interest in the field, and financial prospects are the main factors that motivate students to choose a study program in agribusiness. However, other factors such as a positive perception of agriculture, participation in internship programs and extracurricular activities, or career consulting from the university influence students to engage and retain in agriculture and related fields. This study provides valuable data to formulate and develop strategies for attracting students in the agriculture sector
Comparative Study of Information Security Awareness and Practice Within Home and Work Environments: Case Study in Libya
Get PDFThe abundance of information available through the internet, mobile applications, and cloud computing has made it convenient for users to access a wide range of data. However, this convenience comes at a cost, as this information is constantly at risk of being compromised by cybercriminals and hackers. While the recognition of potential information security dangers is increasing in developed countries, regions like Libya in North Africa still exhibit insufficient protection levels. The purpose of this study is to compare various factors that may influence or affect users' practices and awareness in home and work environments. Specifically, the factors investigated are policy, behavior, IT knowledge, and education. To achieve the study's goals, a quantitative methodology was employed, and a survey was created to assess the correlation between these key factors and security awareness and practices in home and workplace settings. The survey attracted 220 respondents and was analyzed using statistical methods to determine the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. The results of this study indicate a moderate positive correlation between policy, IT knowledge, and education with security awareness and practice in both home and workplace environments. Only the behavior factor had a low correlation for home users. These findings indicate that the level of security awareness and practices at home and in the workplace is generally moderate. This study aims to serve as an initial step in emphasizing the importance of security training sessions for employees and highlighting the need to increase knowledge of information security. The findings are intended to inspire further research and focus on providing security information to the public, thereby disseminating new knowledge on the importance of security training and enhancing awareness of information security
Impact of corporate strategy on the digitalization of management control: evidence from Moroccan companies
Get PDFFor several years, digitalization has emerged as a critical strategic issue for companies, influencing all of their functions, including Human Resources Management (HRM), logistics, finance, and others. It has been the subject of numerous research studies, particularly in developed countries. However, this type of research remains largely underexplored in developing countries. In this context, this paper, based on a survey conducted among forty-two companies in Morocco, aims to address two key questions. First, how can the degree of digitalization of management control in these companies be assessed? Second, does corporate strategy have a significant impact on this digitalization? The primary findings of the study suggest that the level of digitalization is "moderate." Furthermore, we demonstrate that corporate strategy significantly influences the digitalization of management control; specifically, prospector companies are more likely to adopt digital management control systems than defender companies. This research makes important contributions both theoretically and managerially. Theoretically, it provides new insights into the digitalization of management control. From a managerial perspective, it offers valuable guidance for decision-makers to better align the digitalization of management control systems with the broader strategic objectives of their organizations
L’éducation, l’unique frein pouvant ralentir, voire arrêter l’exploitation abusive de l’environnement, dans le cadre du développement durable, cas de la Région Boeny
Get PDF
La dynamique « éducation relative à l’environnement »alias ErE n’est pas une fin en soi, car elle fait partie intégrante des programmes scolaires. Du fait de son efficacité interne et externe, elle est par excellence, le palier intermédiaire servant de passerelle via le développement durable. Grâce à son importance d’envergure internationale, son épopée conquiert actuellement, une couverture géographique spacieuse à travers le monde entier. Cela nous amène à entrer en profondeur sur une analyse répondant aux principes du développement durable tout en détectant l’ampleur des préjudices subis. L’axe stratégique de cette analyse se cantonne exhaustivement sur l’étude des activités humaines, en particulier, celles qui gravitent autour du secteur économique secondaire, pour ne citer que l’industrialisation et ses retombées négatives sur les paramètres environnementaux. Le concept de développement durable véhiculé par l’ErE a généré d’interminables controverses, du fait des pratiques éducatives qu’elle revendique. Toutefois, avec le regain d’intérêt sur les régulations économiques prônées par l’Agenda 21, l’ErE vise, dans un
premier temps, d’instruire les élèves, de la maternelle jusqu’à l’université sur l’importance capitale du développement durable, puis sur la nécessité de protéger l’environnement, et enfin, sur la participation effective des citoyens au processus ainsi enclenché, et dans un second temps, de décliner les principes du développement durable au niveau des collectivités territoriales décentralisées (régions et communes).Ainsi donc, à tort ou à raison, il n’est pas erroné de mettre en exergue que toute tentative de relance ayant pour objectif l’accélération du développement durable à l’échelle mondiale, va indissociablement de pair avec une économie harmonieuse, équilibrée et stable. En conséquence, pour que le programme ainsi préconisé triomphe de réussite, il faut qu’il y ait une mesure d’accompagnement priorisant d’une manière absolue, les désidératas des localités bénéficiaires et ce, avec une vision à long terme. Cette initiative a pour but d’inciter les ayant-droits à agir de concert en les conscientisant à s’approprier du développement durable, et d’éluder toute tentative de divergence d’opinion et toute incohérence susceptible de saper le programme préétabli.
The dynamic “environmental education” aka ErE is not an end in itself, because it is an integral part of school programs. Due to its internal and external efficiency, it is par excellence, the intermediate level serving as a bridge via sustainable development. Thanks to its widespread popularization, his epic currently conquers a spacious geographical coverage throughout the world. This leads us to go into depth on an analysis responding to the principles of sustainable development while detecting the extent of the damage suffered. The strategic axis of this analysis is exhaustively confined to the study of human activities, in particular, those which revolve around the secondary economic sector, to mention only industrialization and its negative repercussions on environmental parameters. The concept of sustainable development conveyed by ErE has generated endless controversies, due to the educational practices it advocates. However, with the renewed interest in regulations advocated by Agenda 21, the ErE aims, firstly, to educate students, from nursery school to university, on the capital importance of sustainable development, then on the need to protect the environment, and finally, on the effective participation of citizens in the process thus initiated, and secondly, to apply the principles of sustainable development at the level of decentralized local authorities (regions and municipalities). Thus, rightly or wrongly, It is not wrong to highlight that any recovery attempt that targets the acceleration of sustainable development on a global scale goes inseparably hand in hand with a harmonious, balanced and stable economy. Consequently, for the program thus recommended to be successful, there must be a support measure that absolutely prioritizes the wishes of the beneficiary localities and this, with a long-term vision. This initiative aims to encourage rights holders to act together by making them aware of their ownership of sustainable development, and to avoid any attempt at divergence of opinion and any inconsistency likely to undermine the pre-established program
Morbidity and Mortality in Rectal Surgery: A Study of 25 Cases
Get PDFRectal surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for many rectal pathologies, whether benign or malignant. However, post-operative complications can significantly impact the prognosis of patients. This retrospective study aimed to investigate morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery over a two-year period at the Department of Digestive Cancer Surgery and Hepatic Transplantation of Ibn Rochd University Hospital (CHU) in Casablanca.". Among 62 patients, the average age was 61.98 years, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.5. Overall morbidity and mortality rates were 40.3% and 12%, respectively. Post-operative complications primarily included surgical site infections (40%) and urinary infections (20%), while long-term complications comprised incisional hernias (20%) and sexual problems (8%). The primary cause of mortality was intraoperative hemorrhage (8%). Factors influencing morbidity and mortality included age, BMI, comorbidities, type of intervention, and the benign or malignant nature of the pathology. Therefore, prevention involves preoperative identification of high-risk patients and enhanced perioperative care through multidisciplinary collaboration
