Contribution à l’Etude de la Durabilité du Béton Renforcé par Matériaux Composites (Fibres de Verre AR) et de PRV sous l’Effet des Sulfates
Get PDFGFRC and GFRP composites are currently used in several applications in civil engineering
and public works. Significantly, the idea of reinforcing the cement or polymer matrix with glass
fibers aims to improve the durability and mechanical properties of the matrix such as
compressive, tensile, flexural, shear, and breaking strength.
The first goal of this research is to investigate the evolution of the mechanical and physical
behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete (tensile strength, compressive strength, capillary
absorption test, and mass evolution). This tested concrete is reinforced with different
percentages of ARHP type glass fibers or high performance resistant alkalis, improving its
performance in humid environments (drinking water) and in sea water (the sulfate environment).
Whereas, the second objective is to follow the evolution of the mechanical and physical
properties (tensile strength, flexural strength, Barcol hardness and water absorption test) of
GFRP in different storage environments such as open air (control), drinking water, and sea
water (aggressive environment). The tests on the GFRC and the GFRP are completed by a
chemical characterization study (XRD, IR, and SEM) of the cement matrix and the resin,
respectively.
As per the obtained results, we conclude that the reinforcement of concrete with AR glass
fibers improves the mechanical properties of concrete, as well as that the retention of concrete
specimens with AR fibers in seawater does not affect the flexural strength of the concrete. In
addition, GFRP is considered to be a chemically stable material with a shelf life of one year in
seawater
Entretien avec Mohamed Miloud Gharrafi
Get PDFMohamed Miloud Gharrafi, auteur de plusieurs recueils de poèmes en arabe, a signé, en 2014, une anthologie bilingue de ses poèmes autotraduits, augmentée d’inédits, intitulée Échos lointains. Il a accepté de s’entretenir avec nous sur sa pratique d’écrivain et de traducteur, et de présenter sa vision de l’acte de traduction et de ses relations avec la création, aussi bien dans le cas de l’autotraduction que dans celui de la traduction d’autres poètes, dont il a fait l’expérience à plusieurs reprises. Cette réflexion l’amène à poser la question des liens complexes, dans la poésie et sa traduction, entre la forme et le sens. Elle l’amène également à décrire son rapport, à la fois de filiation et de rupture, avec la tradition poétique arabe, ainsi que ses appartenances multiples à divers univers culturels et littéraires.Mohamed Miloud Gharrafi, author of several collections of poems in Arabic, signed a bilingual anthology of his self-translated poems in 2014, supplemented by unpublished ones, entitled Échos lointains. He has agreed to talk with us about his practice as a writer and translator, and to present his vision of the act of translation and its relationship with creation, both in the case of self-translation and in the case of the translation of other poets, which he has experienced on several occasions. This reflection leads him to question the complex links, in poetry and its translation, between form and meaning. It also leads him to describe his relationship, both of filiation and rupture, with the Arab poetic tradition, as well as his multiple affiliations to various cultural and literary worlds

Tradurre la bande dessinée migrante. Il caso de Les Mohamed di Jérôme Ruillier
Get PDFThe comic book Les Mohamed (2011) by French author Jérôme Ruillier is situated in the landscape of migrant bande dessinée, with its own singular characteristics. In this work, the author traced a global portrait of Maghrebi immigrants in France, by adapting the documentary/book Mémoires d’immigrés (1997) by French-Algerian author Yamina Benguigui. As migrant storytellers in general, bande dessinée authors are often the first ‘translators’ of unknown or removed realities, making them accessible to a large public. But what happen when they are translated in their turn? In a first part, this article canvases the process of intersemiotic translation that brought from Mémoires d’immigrés to Les Mohamed. In a second part, it focuses on the verbal/visual aspects of Ruillier’s work and especially on the solutions I adopted in the Italian translation (Se ti chiami Mohamed 2015)
Orality as Aesthetic Device: Articulating Language, Religion, and Authority in Mohamed Akounad’s Tawargit d Imik
Get PDFThis article explores Mohamed Akounad\u27s novel Tawargit d imik, which focuses on protagonist Ssi Brahim who struggles to convey the essence of his religious sermons to an exclusively amazigh audience amidst societal opposition. By examining Ssi Brahim\u27s character as the author\u27s alter ego, the study aims to assess the novel\u27s portrayal of religious concerns and activism for Tamazight and identity, particularly in relation to orality. Employing a sociolinguistic approach drawing from Bourdieu\u27s Language and Symbolic Power, the analysis delves into the intersection of religion, authority, and language, placing orality at the heart of their role within the narrative. This study proposes a dual analytical approach, comprising textual and transtextual analyses, in order to unravel the protagonist\u27s journey and explore intertextual connections with sacred texts.

The Argumentative Reason between Al-Ghazali and Averroes by Mohamed Ait Hammou [العقل الحجاجي بين الغزالي وابن رشد]: A Book Review (Full text in Arabic)
No full textThis article provides a critical scholarly review of Mohamed Ait Hammou's book, "The Argumentative Reason between Al-Ghazali and Averroes." It explores the dialectical tension between the "Argumentative Reason" (Al-’Aql al-Hujjaji) and "Demonstrative Logic" (Al-Burhan) within the Islamic philosophical tradition. The review analyzes how Al-Ghazali utilized a rigorous methodological critique to challenge the Greek ontological monopoly, while Averroes sought to harmonize religion and philosophy through his theory of Interpretation (Ta’wil). By examining the concepts of "Reason" and "Argumentation," the author highlights the ethical and methodological dimensions of the disagreement between these two intellectual giants. Furthermore, the review addresses the dual nature of Averroes’ writings and his critique of Kalam (theology). Ultimately, this work contributes to the contemporary understanding of the Moroccan philosophical school and its efforts to reconstruct the intellectual history of Islamic thought through a modern, critical lens
The size, origins, and character of Mongolia's informal sector during the transition
Get PDFThe explosion of informal entrepreneurial activity during Mongolia's transition to a market economy represents one of the most visible signs of change in this expansive but sparsely populated Asian country. To deepen our understanding of Mongolia's informal sector during the transition, the author merges anecdotal experience from qualitative interviews with hard data from a survey of 770 informals in Ulaanbaatar, from a national household survey, and from official employment statistics. Using varied sources, the author generates rudimentary estimates of the magnitude of, and trends in, informal activity in Mongolia, estimates that are surprisingly consistent with each other. He evaluates four types of reasons for the burst of informal activity in Mongolia since 1990: 1) The crisis of the early and mid-1990s, during which large pools of labor were released from formal employment. 2) Rural to urban migration. 3) The"market's"reallocation of resources toward areas neglected under the old system: services such as distribution and transportation. 4) The institutional environments faced by the formal and informal sectors: hindering growth of the formal sector, facilitating entry for the informal sector. Formal labor markets haven't absorbed the labor made available by the crisis and by migration and haven't fully responded to the demand for new services. The relative ease of entering the informal market explains that market's great expansion. The relative difficulty of entering formal markets is not random but is driven by policy. Improving policies in the formal sector could afford the same ease of entry there as is currently being experienced in the informal sector.Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Health Economics&Finance,Public Health Promotion,Poverty Assessment,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,National Governance,Health Monitoring&Evaluation
