An analytical study using the principal components analysis and cluster analysis of the indicators of good governance in the Arab countries in 2017
Get PDFThis study came mainly to identify the reality of the indicators of good governance in theArab countries, and try to classify them according to these indicators by taking a cross section forthe year 2017, to achieve the goal of the study. Two methods were used for statistical analysis, theanalysis of the principal components and cluster analysis, through the results it was found that theindicators (GE, RL, RQ, CC, PS) present in a strong, medium, and weak presence in Arabcountries, and through cluster analysis, Arab countries were divided according to the indicators ofgood governance into three groups, which is the first group that had an advanced arrangementcompared to the rest of the groups in containing positive values in indicators Good governance, asfor the total The second is known indicators of good governance rule from medium to weak. Thethird group is the countries in which the indicators of good governance are considered absent dueto the state of security and the absence of political stability,The Gulf countries occupied the lead compared to the rest of the countries
ASSESSING GREEN SPACE FRAGMENTATION AND ACCESS IN CONSTANTINE (ALGERIA)
Get PDFUrban green spaces are essential for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being in rapidly growingcities. This study examines how green spaces are spread out, fragmented, connected, and accessible in Constantine, aMediterranean town with a historic center and expanding suburbs. Using GIS-based spatial analysis and resident surveys,green spaces were categorized into ecological cores (35%), linear and scattered elements (20%), and peripheral natural areas(45%). The analysis found 120 separate patches, low corridor density, and distances between patches of 500-800 m incentral regions compared to 1.5 km in the outskirts. About 65% of residents can reach a green space within 10 minutes, butaround 40% are unhappy with the quality, especially in peripheral neighborhoods. Fragmentation and limited connectionreduce ecosystem services, and spatial inequalities limit social benefits. These results emphasize the need for integratedplanning of urban green infrastructure, including protecting core areas, improving small and private patches, and creatingecological corridors to improve both environmental and social benefits. This study offers a transferable framework fordesigning sustainable urban green networks in Mediterranean and similar urban settings
ASSESSING GREEN SPACE FRAGMENTATION AND ACCESS IN CONSTANTINE (ALGERIA)
No full textLichens are fungi mainly Ascomycetes that live in association with a population of green algae or cyanobacteria. They are considered as biological indicators to analyse the fate and health of forest ecosystems. The present work consists of inventing epiphytic lichens in the Chrea forest, and using them as bio-indicators for the estimation of air quality. After the choice of the five study stations according to their phorophyte and their altitude, a lichenic survey is carried out. After the choice of the five study stations according to their phorophyte and their altitude, a lichenic survey is carried out. The estimation of the air quality is determined according to the method of KIRSCHBAUM and WIRTH. Lichen diversity showed the presence of 16 species with an abundance of 52 lichens. As for the estimation of the air quality, the calculation of the index reveals the dominance of two high and medium classesLes lichens sont des champignons principalement des Ascomycètes qui vivent en association avec une population d’algues vertes ou cyanobactéries.

Adoption and Analysis of Electronic Payment Methods in Algeria: A Case Study of Algérie Télécom (2022–2024)
Get PDFThis study examines the adoption, usage patterns, and effectiveness of electronic payment systems within Algérie Télécom, one of Algeria’s largest public enterprises, between 2022 and 2024. Using an empirical, case study approach, the research analyzes internal transaction data across four major electronic payment channels—Baridimob, Edahabia, Carte Interbancaire (CIB), and Wimpay—to identify trends, user preferences, and institutional impacts on financial performance. The study contextualizes Algérie Télécom’s experience within the broader evolution of electronic payment systems both globally and domestically, emphasizing technological, behavioral, and regulatory dimensions. Findings indicate that the adoption of e-payment significantly increased during the post-pandemic period, driven by government initiatives and consumer familiarity with digital solutions. Among the observed methods, Baridimob and Edahabia emerged as the dominant channels in both transaction volume and monetary value, confirming the predominance of postal over banking systems in Algeria’s digital financial ecosystem. The research highlights that while digital transformation has advanced rapidly, persistent barriers remain—including infrastructural constraints, cybersecurity concerns, and cultural resistance to cashless transactions. Recommendations are proposed for policymakers, financial institutions, and telecom operators to strengthen e-payment infrastructure and enhance consumer trus
Requirements for Economic Convergence of the Gulf Cooperation Council Monetary Union (A Econometric Study for the Period 2005-2022)
Get PDFThe paper examined the economic convergence of the Gulf Co-operation Council rates in preparation for monetary union. It discussed the economic feasibility of integration of financial institutions when they operate under the umbrella of conglomerate group of international markets.. The study aimed at developing a model explaining the requirements and the foundations of integration between financial institutions to help lay the foundations for times to achieve integration. Descriptive and standard analysis (using E- views) methods were used in the analysis of data. Findings indicated that the lack of some monetary and fiscal policies currently in place in the GCC countries makes it difficult to conduct analytical studies and provide the necessary economic and monetary indicators for the establishment of a monetary union on a solid foundation, where the only obstacle relates to the national sovereignty. Recommendations included the GCC need to speed up the implementation of the Board of Governors recommendations on criteria of economic performance convergence, to establish a central bank for monetary union, to give priority to economic interests rather than to political differences and to call for the formulation of an integrated Arab vision to protect the rights of Arabs and their money from international financial crisis. The researcher recommends following the standard studies in such researches to predict the values of explanatory variables in the long run in order to reach a mechanism to serve the Arab countries in terms of integratio
The Reformist Ideology of Mohammed Abduh
Get PDFThe reformist thought of Imam Muhammad Abduh represents a milestone in the history of the modern Arab and Islamic renaissance. Through his vision of renewal, Sheikh Abduh sought to rebuild the foundations of Islamic thought and provide solutions to the challenges facing the nation during his time.
Abduh emerged as an enlightened religious scholar and innovative thinker, seeking to liberate the Muslim mind from the shackles of stagnation and tradition, and to reformulate the understanding of Islam to be consistent with the requirements and challenges of the era. Muhammad Abduh's ideas constituted an intellectual revolution in the history of modern Islamic reform, as he sought to present a renewed vision of Islam consistent with
The changes of the times, while preserving the essence of the Islamic faith. His approach to religious and social reform and renewal was reflected in many of the reform movements that followed him, making him one of the most prominent Islamic thinkers of the modern era. Studying his ideas remains of great importance today, especially in light of the challenges facing Islamic societies in reconciling heritage and modernization.
It can be argued that the positive criticisms of Muhammad Abduh's thought were not simply praise for his reformist efforts, but rather an attempt to do justice to a great thinker who sought to combine tradition and modernity and reinterpret religion rationally, responsive to contemporary demands. Muhammad Abduh was neither an imitator nor an extremist, but rather a reformer within the realm of Islamic law and an active participant in a thorny and complex renaissance contex
The place of time in the philosophy of Abdul Rahman Badawi
Get PDFIn this article, we discussed what distinguishes Abdurrahman Badawi from the flags of contemporary existential philosophy, such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre, the latter of whom was his contemporary, who authored his famous book existence and nothingness, while Badawi authored the book existential time, in which he sees a sequel to Heidegger's ideas while giving it an Islamic touch and correcting what Heidegger presented so that it aligns with Badawi's existential it is the origin of individual self-existence and on it is based subjective individualism. Badawi evaluates through time all his intellectual project, whether in the relationship of time to existence, in ethics or others,but his project has not yet been complete
Oral Literature in Al-Jahiz’s Kitab al-Hayawan
Get PDFThis study aims to highlight the role of oral narratives in the formation of Arab culture as a culture rooted in orality and locality, and in the nature of dialogic gatherings. This role has been entirely marginalized under the dominance of elitist discourse and the authority of official literature, which historically represented the official power closely intertwined with political authority, thereby obscuring the vital contribution of oral discourse belonging to the language of the common people within the vast popular sphere. The paper presents an introduction to orality, its cultural presence, and its relation to the historical domain in shaping the identity of heritage. It further explores the theme of local orality and ethnographic identity, focusing on the relationship between humans and their environmental and social surroundings. The discussion also addresses Basra and its archaeological memory, examining Al-Jahiz’s connection to place—particularly Basra—as a significant space within Arab culture. Finally, the study considers the theme of oral majlis literature as an essential form of Arab culture that reinforces Arab oral identity, concluding with the most prominent findings of the research

CONTRIBUTION A L’ETUDE DES MODES D’USAGE DES PARCOURS DE LA REGION DE GHARDAÏA (SAHARA SEPTENTRIONAL ALGERIEN)
Get PDFThe aim of this study is to determine how grazing land is used and managed, based on field surveys intwo representative areas of the Ghardaïa region, which is renowned for its livestock farming in the full sense ofthe term. As a result of the exploratory investigations, which reached 20% of all livestock farmers, and theapproach of support structures, we were able to draw the following conclusions: i/- The nomadic system hasevolved as breeders have settled down; ii/- Transhumance of livestock, particularly small ruminants, nearwatering holes is not the ideal solution, as it leads to the degradation of grazing land as a result of longer grazingperiods; iii/- the dromedary excels in adapting to harsh conditions and adopts the practice of roaming in search ofgrass when conditions are restrictive; iv/- the extension of agricultural areas to the detriment of grazing land; v/-damage to the pastoral ecosystem through the excessive uprooting of perennial species destined for speculativeuse. Finally, in the absence of adequate rangeland management, the alarm bells are ringing; action is needed topreserve and promote these areas, which are so important both for the needs of the animals and for the ecologicalbalance of the pasturesLa présente étude dont l’objectif réside en la détermination des modes d’exploitation et de gestion desparcours sur la base d’enquêtes de terrain au niveau de deux zones représentatives de la région de Ghardaïaréputée par l’élevage au sens plein du terme. Des suites des investigations exploratrices qui ont touché 20% dutotal des éleveurs et l’approche de structures d’appui, nous ont permis de tirer ce qui suit : i/- le système nomadea connu des évolutions à travers la fixation des éleveurs ; ii/- faire transhumer le cheptel, notamment les petitsruminants, à proximité des points d’eau n’est pas la solution idoine, corollaire d’une dégradation des parcoursdes suites du prolongement de la durée d’exploitation ; iii/- le dromadaire excelle par son adaptation aux rudesconditions et adopte le mode de divagation à la recherche de l’herbe lorsque les conditions sont contraignantes ;iv/- l’extension des périmètres agricoles au détriment des espaces de parcours ; v/- atteinte à l’écosystèmepastoral à travers l’arrachage excessif d’espèces vivaces destinées à des usages spéculatifs. Enfin, en l’absenced’une gestion adéquate des parcours, la sonnette d’alarme est désormais tirée ; des actions s’imposent afin depréserver et de promouvoir ces espaces, ô combien importants à la fois pour les besoins des animaux etl’équilibre écologique pastora
