Entre hipocresía y cinismo : un estudio socio-legal de la prostitución como contravención
No full textProstitution is not a crime in Argentina. However, Infringement Code Córdoba Province sanctions the visibility sex work offer ("scandalous or disturbing prostitution" art. 45, Law 9444). Sex workers relate with the Law in, at least, three ways: as "delinquents" as "victims" and an "agents of resistance." These edges are combined in the same subjects conforming particular legal subjectivity, which, I argue, is marked by cynicism and hypocrisy. On the one hand, cynicism is crystallized when they are not equally considered by legal institutions as subject to law's protection, leaving margins and the protection of the law in their daily lives but in the centre of their symbolic and physical violence. On the other hand, hypocrisy is reflected in the design of a device which penalizes the visibility of prostitution and affecting therefore a specific group of sex workers, who are normally the most vulnerable ones. In this context, sex workers' resistance opens up a dynamic negotiation of meanings and practices to re-define their socio-legal positionLa prostitución no es un crimen en Argentina, sin embargo la visibilidad de su ofrecimiento es sancionada por el Código de Faltas de Córdoba a través de la contravención de “prostitución escandalosa o molesta” (art. 45, ley 9.444). La relación de las personas trabajadoras sexuales con el derecho tiene cuando menos tres aristas en este contexto: como “infractora”, como “victima”, y como “agente de resistencia”. Estas aristas se combinan en los mismos sujetos formando una particular subjetividad jurídica, la cual -sostengo- está signada por el cinismo y la hipocresía. Por un lado, el cinismo se cristaliza cuando se borran los rastros que constituyen a la persona como sujeto de derechos, dejándola así los márgenes de la protección de la ley en su vida diaria pero en el centro de su violencia simbólica y física. Por otro lado, la hipocresía se traduce en el diseño de un dispositivo que sanciona la visibilidad del ejercicio de la prostitución, de esta manera queda en tela de juicio la supuesta neutralidad y generalidad jurídica cuando la norma se dirige claramente a un grupo de características socio-económicas particulares. La hipocresía se concreta claramente cuando las prácticas de control entran en conflicto con los argumentos de moralidad que débilmente sostienen una norma por demás inconstitucional. En este contexto, la resistencia ocupa un espacio de re-definición de su posición frente a la sociedad y el derecho; abriendo así una dinámica de sentidos y prácticas que pujan para un cambi
Orchard management and inventory of Moroccan local varieties of fig (Ficus carica L.) in four main production sites, Chefchaouen, El Jadida, Ouezzane and Taounate provinces
No full textThe present study conducted in four production sites belonging to the provinces of Chefchaouen (Beni Ahmed), El Jadida (Ouled Frej), Ouezzane (Zoumi) and Taounate (Bouhouda) aims to characterize the local fig varieties planted, to explore typology of the farms and training systems applied, and to identify the varieties of great value for further projects. To achieve these goals, we conducted a field survey and prospection on a sample of 72 farms in the sites considered, the characterization of the varieties was accomplished by laboratory analysis of leaf and fruit samples. Results showed that farm area having more than 5 ha represents 20% in Ouled Frej, 11% in Bouhouda and Beni Ahmed and only 5% in Zoumi. The age of fig-tree orchards averaged 15 years in Ouled Frej, 37 years in Zoumi, and Beni Ahmed and 43 years in Bouhouda. Training system is more intensive in Ouled Frej orchards by the practice of irrigation and the use of fertilizers and chemical treatments for plant protection, because almost all fruit is destined for fresh market-figs. However, in the other sites located in mountain areas, figs are mostly marketed as dried fruit, because orchards are land locked. There were 43 varieties identified, 3 in Ouled Frej, 11 in Beni Ahmed, 11 in Bouhouda and 19 in Zoumi. The Principal component analysis (PCA) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) have shown similarities between some varieties (synonymous). The varieties recommended for future fig tree development programs are: Messari (Homran / Lamtel / Mtioui), Fassi, Ghouddane, Ghani and Lamdar for the production of the first crop fresh figs; Messari, Ghouddane, Fassi. Lassoune, Masfah, Aouad and Hamri for the production of fresh autumn figs; and Nabout, Koté, Masfah, Messari, Ghouddane and Fassi for production of autumn dried figs

European Marketing Academy (EMAC). http://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/A2021-94268.pdf -------------------This work was supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) [DSAIPA/DS/0113/2019].Understanding the psychological factors dictating consumer spending and borrowing behavior is of utmost importance, as it interferes with one's subjective well-being and overall life satisfaction. Prior research suggests that regulatory focus guides consumers’ decision making when it comes to personal finances management, but the research on whether it impacts indebtedness propensity is rather scant. This study aims to test how key debt-related variables (risk, impulsivity, provider trust, locus of control) impact indebtedness in the context of COVID-19. The final sample of 498 Portuguese consumers shows that the participants have an internal locus of control when it comes to financial hardship; a locus of control positively impacted by the trustworthiness. The article concludes with a discussion of theoretical implications for researchers investigating the impact of personality on debt perception, as well as practical implications discussing how to prevent indebtedness.publishersversionpublishe

Les objectifs du présent travail, mené dans quatre sites de production des figues relevant des provinces de Chefchaouen (Beni Ahmed), El Jadida (Ouled Frej), Ouezzane (Zoumi) et Taounate (Bouhouda) consistent en premier lieu à caractériser les variétés de figuiers plantées dans ces sites, à faire une typologie des exploitations , à décrire la conduite technique adoptée et à identifier les variétés potentielles pour les nouvelles plantations. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé des enquêtes sur un échantillon de 72 exploitations dans différents sites. La caractérisation variétale a été complétée par le prélèvement et l’analyse d’échantillons de fruits et de feuilles au laboratoire. Les résultats relatifs à la typologie montrent que les exploitations dont la SAU dépasse 5 ha représentent 20% à Ouled Frej, 11% à Bouhouda et à Beni Ahmed et seulement 5% à Zoumi. L’âge moyen des plantations est de 15 ans à Ouled Frej, 37 ans à Zoumi et Beni Ahmed, et 43 ans à Bouhouda. La conduite technique dans le site d’Ouled Frej se distingue par la pratique de l’irrigation des vergers et l’apport d’engrais et de produits phytosanitaires justifiés par la commercialisation basée sur la vente des figues fraîches. Dans les autres sites, la conduite est généralement traditionnelle, les figues sont vendues séchées à cause de l’enclavement. Le profil variétal se compose de 43 variétés dont 4 sont de type Smyrne, 18 de type Commun et 21 de type San Pedro. Le profil variétal par site est de 3 à Ouled Frej, 11 à Beni Ahmed, 11 à Bouhouda et 19 à Zoumi. Les analyses statistiques (ACP et CHA) ont montré un rapprochement entre certaines variétés qui portent des appellations différentes (synonymie). Les variétés recommandées par ordre de priorité, pour les programmes de développement futurs du figuier, sont Messari (Homran/ Lamtel/Mtioui), Fassi, Ghouddane, Ghani et Lamdar pour la production des figues fleurs fraîches, Messari, Ghouddane, Fassi, Lassoune, Masfah, Aouad et Hamri pour la production des figues d’automne à l’état frais et Nabout, Koté, Masfah, Messari, Ghouddane et Fassi pour la production des figues d’automne séchées.

Dynamique des populations microphytobenthiques couplée à leur composition biochimique au sein du réservoir Allal El Fassi (Maroc)
No full textL'étude du métabolisme des populations microphytobenthiques par le biais des principaux constituants cellulaires à savoir les glucides, les protéines et les lipides a été réalisée du mois d'août 1996 au mois de juillet 1997 au sein du réservoir Allal El Fassi, situé sous climat semi-aride.Les résultats issus d'un échantillonnage sur substrats artificiels permettent de montrer que :- la température, l'oxygène, l'azote et le phosphore influencent l'orientation métabolique des populations microphytobenthiques ;- les plus fortes concentrations en glucides, en protéines et en lipides correspondent à des populations estivales ;- les lipides sont susceptibles de fournir une estimation satisfaisante de la biomasse microphytobenthiques ;- le métabolisme du microphytobenthos s'oriente vers la synthèse préférentielle des protéines.Most of the works achieved so far in semi-arid lakes have been focused especially on the dynamics, structure and metabolic of phytoplankton. However, this issue has not been addressed in term of metabolic microphytobenthic cells activity. With an aim increasing the relative scientific knowledge relating to the functioning of lacustrian ecosystems in the Maghreb for which the data are still very fragmentary, special attention has been granted to the study of the microphytobenthos metabolism, by means of determining essential cellular constituents (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) of the reservoir Allal El Fassi.The Allal El Fassi reservoir is about 47 km of Fez. It was built in 1992, and is 7 km long, 0.7 km wide and 34 m maximum depth. The reservoir is classed as mesotrophic and used for irrigation, recreation and to supply drinking water.The study was conducted between August 1996 and July 1997. Samples were taken vertically from the deepest point of the reservoir by means of a Van-Dorn sampler from seven depths: Near the surface, - 2 m, - 5 m, - 10 m, - 15 m, - 20 m and close to the bottom. The samples were analysed for physical, chemical and metabolism of Diatom. Analysis of Nitrogen and phosphate was done following Golterman method and oxygen dissolved by the Winkler method.Given the advantage that presents the artificial substrata (polyethylene leaves) for sample of periphyton, we have opted for the utilization of these substrata similar to these already used by WATANABE et al. (1988). These substrata are submerged during four weeks at different depths.The evaluation of the microphytobenthic biomass has been carried out according to the method of LOHMAN (1908) after enumerations to the microscope Olympus following the technique of LECLERCQ (1984).The dosage of the carbohydrates has been undertaken according to the method of MOAL et al. (1985), while concentrations of proteins have been determined according to the method of LOWRY (1951) and lipids have been extracted according to the method chloroform/methanol.The results show that microphytobenthic biomass presents important fluctuations since extreme values are respectively 0.25·104 µg·cm-2 and 14.95·104 µg·cm-z.Carbohydrates and lipids concentrations (mean=4.52 µg·cm-z and 2.27 µg·cm-z, respectively) are clearly less high than those of proteins (mean=81.84 µg·cm-2). This result indicates that the metabolism of the microphytobenthos of the Allal El Fassi reservoir is oriented towards the preferential protein synthesis. The vertical distribution of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids concentrations shows a well marked stratification, maximal concentrations generally recorded between 0 and 5 m. These high concentrations are attributed to the development of Niztchia, Navicula, Cymbella, Cyclotella, Melosira and Cocconeis.Proteins and carbohydrates concentrations were significantly correlated (r=0.84, p=0.01 at 0m and r=0.52, p=0.10 at 5 m). On the opposite, concentrations of lipids have no correlation neither with those of proteins, nor with those of the carbohydrates.The correlation between the lipids concentrations and the microphytobenthic biomass, is highly significant (r=0.48, p=0.10). This correlation results notably into the fact that lipids visualise well the evolution of the microphytobenthic biomass. However, no significant correlation was found between proteins, carbohydrates concentrations and biomass microphytobenthic.Many works prove the influences of some environmental factors namely light intensity and the temperature on the biochemical composition of the microphytobenthic. In this way, we observe that in period of high temperature, the synthesis of lipids is important. The positive correlation between temperature and lipids (r=0.48, p=0.10) support the observed increase in the concentrations of this variable with increasing temperature. Nevertheless, no significant correlation was found between proteins and carbohydrates concentrations and temperature, which suggests that the synthesis of these components is made independently from this factor. Oxygen dissolved and nitrogen intervene equally in the synthesis of lipids
Tourism in Times of Scarcity: Traveling During the Pandemic (Abstract)
No full textCastagna, A., El Fassi, Y., Pinto, D. C., Mattila, A., & Vanneschi, L. (2021). Tourism in Times of Scarcity: Traveling During the Pandemic (Abstract). In Proceedings of the European Marketing Academy, 50th (pp. 1-2). European Marketing Academy (EMAC). http://proceedings.emac-online.org/pdfs/A2021-93891.pdf ------ DSAIPA/DS/0113/2019The financial and health limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic require extensive changes in people’s lives, specifically regarding travel. But might consumers use travel as an emotional regulation tool or a reward during pandemic times? The present work sheds light on how COVID-19 activates unexpected travel behaviors and how consumers’ views on traveling shift depending on the scarcity mindset (high vs. low mutability). Paradoxically, results from three studies (N = 889) show that monetary scarcity can increase consumers’ predisposition to travel post-COVID as a way to restore well-being (Study 1). Studies 2 and 3 further investigate this unexpected downstream effect by showing that pandemic effects on travel behavior depend on the way consumers construe scarcity (low vs. high mutability). When consumers frame the pandemic as an external threat with low (vs. high) mutability, they have a more positive attitude to travel during the pandemic and perceive traveling as less risky.publishersversionpublishe
THREE ESSAYS ON MANAGEMENT CONTROL
No full textThis dissertation analyzes three drivers of firms’ long-term performance within the dynamic landscape of the contemporary business environment: stakeholder management, resource management and artificial intelligence (AI) tools management.
The debate concerning whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities are value- enhancing or value-destroying is very active in both academic and business words. In the first chapter we contribute to this academic debate by analyzing the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP). We use the Covid-19 pandemic as an exogenous shock and use both stock returns and risk measures to examine this relationship across a sample of companies in the travel and leisure (T&L) industry, which were heavily impacted during this period. Consistent with stakeholder salience theory, our results indicate that CSP in salient CSR activities is associated with higher CFP. We also find that companies following a stakeholder salience approach outperform their peers adopting either a stakeholder approach (high-CSP for all CSR activities) or a shareholder-only approach (low- CSP for all CSR activities) and constitute the only group of companies that did not experience a significant decline in stock returns during the Covid-19 market downturn. Finally, we find that the CSP-CFP relationship has an inverted U-shape suggesting the existence of an optimal level of CSP that maximizes CFP.
This work has both theoretical and practical contributions. managers need to define effective and context-dependent CSR activities by focusing on salient CSR activities and defining the optimal CSP level. In can also be informative to regulators, NGOs and other stakeholders to understand the stakeholder-firm relationship. More specifically, it can help deduce when
pressures on managers are necessary – i.e., when it is not (or no longer) financially beneficial for firms to voluntarily address these issues – and deploy resources and measures accordingly. In the second chapter, we empirically examine the relationship between asymmetric cost adjustments (i.e., costs stickiness) and capital structure and profitability. We develop a novel measure of cost stickiness and address endogeneity issues using instrumental variables. We first find that high-sticky-cost firms have lower financial leverage, shorter debt maturity, and higher cash holdings. Our findings imply that cost stickiness increases the risk of default, reducing the optimal leverage. They also suggest that cost stickiness increases financial constraints, leading managers to favor internal financing to pay for operational excess capacity and to sustain investments when sales are low. Moreover, we find that cost stickiness has a positive effect on profitability. Finally, we compare the effects of cost stickiness and the related concept of operating leverage. We observe that, while they have similar effects on capital structure,
operating leverage has an overall negative effect on profitability unlike cost stickiness.
While extensive research has been conducted to document cost stickiness and the factors under which it is amplified, research on the effects of cost stickiness have been very limited. Therefore, by introducing an accounting topic (cost stickiness) as an important determinant of financial leverage, cash holdings, and debt maturity, we add to both the accounting literature by looking further at the financial consequences of asymmetric cost behavior and the corporate finance literature examining the firms’ operating policies affecting capital structure.
In the third chapter, we examine the algorithm appreciation phenomenon and how gender and knowledge influence the level of trust humans place in AI. AI is increasingly utilized to provide real-time assistance and recommendations across a wide range of tasks, especially since the emergence of AI Chatbots such as ChatGPT. However, it is unclear how users perceive the
trustworthiness of these tools, more so given the publicized “hallucinations” that they may experience. We conduct a randomized field experiment to analyze how subject characteristics affect trust in AI versus human peers. We randomly assign students to two experimental groups receiving advice labeled to come from an AI system (treatment group) or labeled as coming from human peers (control group). Our results are in line with recent laboratory experiments documenting algorithm appreciation. However, we find that algorithm appreciation varies with subject knowledge and gender. Specifically, both male and high-knowledge subjects place considerably less weight on AI advice. Our results remain consistent even over an extended out-of-sample period and after providing subjects with performance information.
This highlights the need to tailor AI tools to subject characteristics to significantly enhance their effectiveness and ultimately also the adoption rates. A personalized approach to AI can enhance engagement and mitigate potential adoption barriers. Further research in technology management is needed to explore various factors influencing AI trust. For example, future experimental projects, in collaboration with current co-authors explore various related questions such as: how to build and restore trust in AI; identify the main subject characteristics influencing trust in AI; understand the drivers of gender differences in AI and peer trust; and exploring task characteristics affecting trust in AI.
From a managerial perspective, understanding the circumstances in which AI assistance is beneficial and determining effective control mechanisms is crucial. While literature explores the benefits and challenges of AI, the impact of controlling AI assistance on task performance remains relatively unexplored. One of our ongoing research projects focuses on investigating the effects of restraining and controlling AI assistance on task performance, considering potential trade-offs and implications for human-AI dynamics
L’image de la femme dans quelques romans de Driss Chraibi
No full textLa littérature nord-africaine de langue française écrite par des Maghrébins est née entre les deux guerres mondiales. Au Maroc, elle ressurgit avec éclat autour des années cinquante avec le romancier Driss Chraïbi, dans des oeuvres de dévoilement et de combat. Elles sont d'ailleurs très contestées, voire rejetées, parce qu'elles sont écrites dans une langue étrangère, parce qu'elles attaquent les valeurs de l'Islam et de la tradition et parce qu'elles ont soulevé les problèmes de la femme occidentale, ce qui ne concernait aucunement la société marocaine. Driss Chraïbi se distingue des autres auteurs marocains de son époque par son engagement. Ses écrits volcaniques traduisent sa révolte et son mépris d'une société traditionnelle qui se maintient dans un état d'hibernation politique, culturelle et sociale et dont il dénonce l'injustice et la discrimination sexuelle. Né le 15 juillet 1926 à El Jadida, Chraïbi a fréquenté l'école coranique, puis, à dix ans, l'école française. En 1945, son besoin de liberté lui fait quitter le Maroc pour la France, devenue son pays d'adoption. En 1970, il enseigne la littérature maghrébine à l'Université Laval. Ces nouveaux horizons lui permettent un nouvel équilibre. Notre sélection de Chraïbi n'est pas fortuite. Après avoir étudié plusieurs romanciers marocains, nous croyons que c'est lui qui répond le mieux à l'objet de notre étude: la condition de la femme. Nous demeurons très sensibles à la condition de la femme de notre pays. D'origine marocaine, émigrée dans un pays occidental, nous vivons nous-même je vis moi-même une plus grande liberté de parole et d'action. Cette différence nous invite à contester, par le biais de la littérature, l'oppression subie par les femmes de notre pays. En ce sens, les romans de Chraïbi satisfont pleinement nos attentes. Il fut le premier à démystifier l'aliénation de la femme et à dénoncer vigoureusement la résignation et la soumission de l'épouse subjuguée par son mari et la société. Partisan inconditionnel de la femme émancipée, Chraïbi ne s'est pas contenté de nous dépeindre uniquement la situation de la femme de son pays natal. Il va au-delà du Maghreb pour toucher le monde occidental, notamment la France, d'où l'aspect universel de ses travaux. […
From aquatic to terrestrial: An examination of plant diversity and ecological shifts
No full textOur study focuses on plant diversity in the Allal El Fassi dam, a semi-arid continental bioclimate, to understand human-impacted aquatic ecosystems. We analyzed plant, soil, and water samples from 40 stations using various indices. We identified 55 plant species across 35 families, with Poaceae, Asteraceae, Asparagaceae, and Rosaceae being dominant. The transition zone (formerly Zone 2) is characterized by dense vegetation of hydrophytes, hemicryptophytes, and therophytes. The transformed (formerly Zone 1) and terrestrial zones (formerly Zone 3) have less diverse vegetation, dominated by phanerophytes, geophytes, and chamerophites. Phanerophytes, due to their developed root systems, are suited to dam soil types. Predominant species like Tamarix gallica L., Nerium oleander L., Juncus acutus L., and Arundo donax L. indicate the dam’s ecological transformation into a terrestrial ecosystem isolated from the river by sedimentary deposits following floods. These species are opportunistic, and adapted to water level variations
