Les jeunes maghrébins, entre rhétorique islamiste et contraintes de la mondialisation
No full textDer Autor zeigt, dass im Gegensatz zu der fundamentalistischen Rethorik auf Islamischen Boden die Zeichen der Expansion der Globalisiserung allgegenwärtig zu sein scheinen und zwar über verschiedene Kanäle wie zum Beispiel Medien, Internet, Musik, usw. Daher ergibt sich eine Reihe von Anpassungsversuchen, die durch einen Anziehungs-aber auch Abneigungseffekt gekennzeichnet sind.The author shows that in the land of Islamist fondamentalist rhetoric, signs of expanding globalization are omnipresent through various channels such as the media, Internet and music… Series of attempts are taking place to adapt to the new context under both an effect of attraction and of repulsion.Au rebours de la rhétorique fondamentaliste en terre d’Islam, les signes et les symboles de la mondialisation semblent omniprésents à travers des canaux divers, à l’instar des médias, de l’internet, de la musique, etc. D’où découle une série de tentatives d’adaptation marquées par un effet d’attraction mais aussi de répulsion.El autor muestra que, a contra corriente con la retórica fundamentalista en tierra del Islam, los signos de expansión de la globalización parecen omnipresentes a través de diversos canales, siguiendo el ejemplo de los medios de comunicación, del Internet, de la música, etc. De ahí resultan una serie de intentos de adaptación marcados por un efecto de atracción pero también de repulsión.Lamchichi Abderrahim.

No full textClimate-induced migration, Women and Decision-making Power in the Agricultural Wage Sector in Saiss Morocco
No full textThe Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is highly vulnerable to climate change and is undergoing rapid social and political transformation (Sowers et al., 2011; Waterbury, 2013; Haddad and Shideed, 2013;). This region is projected to have rising temperatures (2-3 C) and declining precipitation (10-30%) in the coming years (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2014). Climate change is affecting rural livelihoods in multiple ways in rural Morocco, and little is known about the gender dynamics of these impacts and related adaptation measures (De Haas 2006; De Haas and Van Rooij 2010; Najjar 2015). In this study we examine the gendered effects of drought-induced migration in rural Morocco for settler migrants and farmers who stay behind in sending communities. Due to state investments in irrigation, the Saiss plains of Morocco are experiencing rural-rural migration as an adaptive strategy for many who are escaping climate change and unemployment to take advantage of labor opportunities in agricultural sectors elsewhere. We examine the wellbeing and decision-making power of male and female migrants in receiving communities (Betit and Sidi Slimane) and women staying behind in sending communities (Ain Jemaa). Our study is timely as worsening climate change effects and increasing intensification and globalization make migration the most viable option for livelihood improvement, particularly in the dry areas of the world.
In Saiss, migration comes with prospects of not only more work opportunities in irrigated fruit and vegetable sectors, but also with promise of land and housing in informal settlements. As such, we explore the extent and determinants (age, location, migration and marital status) of decision-making power for male and female wage workers in host communities with regards to work participation and income and asset control. We also examine the decision-making power dynamics for women who are left behind as men migrate from the rainfed area of Ain Jemaa. Very little research has been conducted on nature of household decision-making and its gendered meanings (Acosta et al. 2019; Bernard et al. 2020). We attempt to explore the factors influencing this type of decision-making as well as the underlying meanings.
The paper begins with a literature review on decision-making power, gender, migration and work in rural areas. Following, the case study characteristics are presented, which detail how climate change is fueling migration, gender norms in host and sending communities, as well as the gender dynamics in accessing economic opportunities and decision-making power. We end the paper with recommendations to strengthen the women’s decision-making power as migration continues with a focus on strengthening landed property ownership for women
Discrete approximations and optimality conditions for integro-differential inclusions
Full text linkThis paper addresses a new class of generalized Bolza problems governed by nonconvex integro-differential inclusions with endpoint constraints on trajectories, where the integral terms are given in the general (with time-dependent integrands in the dynamics) Volterra form. We pursue here a threefold goal. First we construct well-posed approximations of continuous-time integro-differential systems by their discrete-time counterparts with showing that any feasible solution to the original system can be strongly approximated in the -norm topology by piecewise-linear extensions of feasible discrete trajectories. This allows us to verify in turn the strong convergence of discrete optimal solutions to a prescribed local minimizer for the original problem. Facing intrinsic nonsmoothness of original integro-differential problem and its discrete approximations, we employ appropriate tools of generalized differentiation in variational analysis to derive necessary optimality conditions for discrete-time problems (which is our second goal) and finally accomplish our third goal to obtain necessary conditions for the original continuous-time problems by passing to the limit from discrete approximations. In this way we establish, in particular, a novel necessary optimality condition of the Volterra type, which is the crucial result for dynamic optimization of integro-differential inclusions.28 page
Faro: Never Again: TARA spots turbulence quicker to make airports safer
No full textTARA, a unique radar system recently developed at the International Research Centre for Telecommunications Transmission and Radar (irctr) of tu delft, can be used to observe the formation of precipitation and various other physical processes that occur in clouds. This provides important information that is used to map the effects of global warming on the worlds climate.As it turned out, the Delft radar system is sensitive enough to detect turbulent airflows. If the researchers get their way, TARA may soon be deployed to improve safety near airports, preventing accidents like the Martinair crash at Faro Airport (in the south of Portugal) in December 1992 which killed 56 people,and the Transavia runway mishap at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Christmas Eve 1997. Abderrahim Moumen has been working on the heart of TARA, the antenna system for his doctorate. He has developed a miniature antenna that can be used in combination with a precision reflector to obtain highresolution, three-dimensional, dynamic measurements of wind and rain without the need forany mechanical guidance. Even though his invention has yielded a high resolution, the cost has turned out to be very low

Un ami viendra vous voir (1967) de Driss Chraibi (Notes de lecture)
Full text linkA Friend Will Come See You (1967) by Driss Chraibi: Reading Notes
We will try to examine in this article how Driss Chraibi perceives the problems of marriage in a Western society where television and advertising have ended up stifling all the desires of women. If the theme of marriage may seem like a banal subject, the insight given by Chraibi in A Friend Will Come See You, (1967) is interesting in so far as it concerns a foreigner\u27s point of view on a Western society different from his in many ways. On the other hand, the author has attempted to question the problems of women and marriage by relating them to the pernicious role that television plays in a highly industrialized society

Integral-Type Representations for the Subdifferential of Suprema
No full textAn integral-like representation is provided for the ε-subdifferential of the supremum of an arbitrary family of convex functions. Our characterizations are expressed through appropriate discrete sums performed on the data functions ft ’s together with specific singular measures operating on them. Moreover, as long as the underlying space is a reflexive Banach space or a separable normed space, we substitute these additional measures with related limits that involve the data functions. All the objects involved in our characterizations rely intrinsically on the data functions that are (almost) active at the reference point.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.
