    Social inclusion and territorial development through social innovation: experience of participative finance

    No full text
    Participative banks are a kind of social innovation because they provide the territory with an alternative economy aimed at strengthening links between economic actors sharing a territory. Alternative finance is a branch of the ethical and social economy that helps to eliminate marginalization and social inequalities towards socially ethical integration and inclusion. The intention to pursue guidelines for social innovation comes from the fact of attributing to the territory new management policy in order to maximize survival in this territory. Indeed, the introduction of alternative participative finance is a component of social innovation that gives the social and territorial economy a new breathlessness allowing a comprehensive integration and inclusion of all actors and agents economic sharing the same territory. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the potential impact of participatory finance on territorial development in Morocco. It aims to explore and justify the originality of the link between participatory finance and social innovation, showing how this approach can be logical, rational, and applicable in reality. Additionally, the goal is to highlight Morocco's role as a pioneer in this field and its intention to share this experience with other African countries to offer a social and ethical alternative

    Résumé : Dans la conjoncture actuelle, l’on assiste à une suffocation des vieillots modèles de gouvernance, édifiés qu’ils sont sur une conception unilatérale et hiérarchique de l’action publique. Par conséquent, la disparité s’agrandit entre acteurs territoriaux et citoyens, engendrant ultimement une crise de confiance qui se manifeste concrètement par l’inappétence à l’égard décideurs publics. Et à même de mettre sur pied une démocratie locale qui jouera un rôle vital dans la promotion et l’animation du territoire en visant à renforcer le lien social, la participation citoyenne et le développement territorial. Cet article est basé sur une étude empirique à méthode mixte qui utilise une approche quantitative basée sur l’exploitation de données chiffrées collectées à partir des questionnaires; diffusés auprès des responsables et des citoyens de la commune de Rabat, et une approche qualitative fondée sur l’observation participative et les entretiens avec le personnel de la commune. L’idée véhiculée dans cet article consiste à présenter de façon structurée des présentations sur le circuit de l’information et de communication entre les différents services de la commune de Rabat qui permettra de déterminer la réceptivité de l’information auprès des citoyens de la commune. Il s’agit également de comprendre l’interdépendance entre la communication locale à travers la relation hiérarchique, le circuit de l’information et les supports utilisés. Cette interdépendance sera déterminante pour une meilleure définition de la stratégie de communication de la commune territoriale de Rabat.

    Emotion processing in Parkinson’s disease: a blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging study

    No full text
    Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia are the major symptoms of the disease. These motor impairments are often accompanied by affective and emotional dysfunctions which have been largely studied over the last decade. The aim of this study was to investigate emotional processing organization in the brain of patients with Parkinson’s disease and to explore whether there are differences between recognition of different types of emotions in Parkinson’s disease. We examined 18 patients with Parkinson’s disease (8 men, 10 women) with no history of neurological or psychiatric comorbidities. All these patients underwent identical brain blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging for emotion evaluation. Blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging results revealed that the occipito-temporal cortices, insula, orbitofrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and parietal cortex which are involved in emotion processing, were activated during the functional control. Additionally, positive emotions activate larger volumes of the same anatomical entities than neutral and negative emotions. Results also revealed that Parkinson’s disease associated with emotional disorders are increasingly recognized as disabling as classic motor symptoms. These findings help clinical physicians to recognize the emotional dysfunction of patients with Parkinson’s disease

    No full text
    The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms (IA) is higher in patients with stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA), the intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm is an intracranial aneurysm causing major functional and vital complications. We report the case of a 26-year-old man who consulted for a reduction in visual acuity, converging strabismus and ptosis of the right eye evolving for 7 months before his consultation, the various neuro-radiological examinations made it possible to identify diagnose a giant aneurysm of the right intracavernous internal carotid artery associated with severe stenosis of the contralateral internal carotid artery, hence the performance of a therapeutic arteriography consisting of an occlusion of this aneurysm. In summary, we describe successful management of a giant aneurysm of the intracavernous portion of a single functional internal carotid artery, while preserving optimal cerebral vascularization

    Pes anserine bursitis as a complication of tibial osteochondroma

    No full text
    Exostosis, or osteochondroma, represents the most prevalent primary benign bone tumor, often viewed as a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm. This article presents 2 cases illustrating complications associated with tibial osteochondroma. The first case involves a 25-year-old patient with recurrent medial knee pain attributed to pes anserine bursitis secondary to tibial osteochondroma, managed successfully with surgical excision. The second case features a 15-year-old with similar symptoms and unsuccessful conservative management, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic options for this condition. Discussion encompasses the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities including MRI and ultrasound, and management strategies such as conservative measures, corticosteroid injections, and surgical excision. Recognizing and promptly managing complications like pes anserine bursitis in tibial osteochondroma is crucial to prevent chronic pain and functional impairment, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, and physical therapists

    Cerebellar liponeurocytoma: Rare posterior fossa tumor

    No full text
    Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is a rare WHO grade II glioneuronal tumor, characterized by a benign course and a more favorable prognosis. In this paper, we report a 52-year-old man, hospitalized in emergency because of clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure, and gait disturbances. The MRI revealed a lateral well shaped solid lesion within the left cerebellar hemisphere, having a low signal intensity compared to the cerebrospinal fluid, and causing a triventicular hydrocephalus and tonsillar herniation. The patient underwent a direct approach of the tumor through a left suboccipital craniectomy. Total removal of the lesion was achieved, and the histological diagnosis was cerebellar liponeurocytoma. The tumor cell proliferation index was < 6 %, therefore, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were not implemented after surgery. After 5 years of close follow-up there were no clinical or radiological signs of recurrence.Our objective in reporting another case of this unusual tumor is to discuss clinical profile, radiologic and histologic features as well as treatment and prognosis of this rare posterior fossa tumor

    Diagnosis and treatment of mycotic aneurysms secondary to cardiac hydatid cyst: An unusual cause of multiple cerebral strokes in a 23-year-old female

    No full text
    Mycotic aneurysms (MA) are a rare but severe complication of systemic infections, carrying a high risk of rupture, hemorrhage, sepsis, and potential multiple organ failure. Intracranial arteries are often affected and present a significant mortality risk due to cerebral bleeding and ischemic strokes. In this paper we describe the case of a 23-year-old female patient who presented with a sudden onset of right hemiparesis, followed by loss of consciousness. Cerebral imaging revealed multiple infarcts in both hemispheres and intracranial hemorrhage secondary to ruptured pseudoaneurysms. On transthoracic echocardiogram, she was found to have a left ventricular cardiac cyst with mobile vegetations potentially responsible for mycotic aneurysms and cerebral strokes. The patient underwent endovascular embolization for the mycotic aneurysms and cardiac surgery for the left ventricular cyst with satisfying clinical outcomes. Postsurgical analysis revealed the cyst to be of hydatid (Echinococcus) origin

    A colonic lipoma presenting as intussusception in an elderly patient

    No full text
    Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign tumors that are usually asymptomatic but may occasionally lead to complications such as intussusception. In adults, colocolic intussusception is rare and typically associated with a structural lead point, often malignant. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with acute bowel obstruction and was found to have colocolic intussusception secondary to a colonic lipoma. Diagnosis was established through imaging, and surgical resection was performed without prior reduction. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by adult intussusception and emphasizes the key role of CT imaging in identifying the underlying cause and guiding appropriate management. Early recognition and timely surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes
