No full textIncludes bibliographical references.In spite of growing attention to the needs of post-secondary English language learners, many of these students continue to struggle with their university coursework. According to Hyland, (2002) gaps in school curricula may be one of the factors contributing to this phenomenon. To address this issue, scholars have suggested that course designers employ Needs Analysis to improve the alignment between curricula at the university level (Zohrabi, 2010). However, without a concrete example of how a needs analysis is conducted, many instructors may be reluctant to take on such a project. The purpose of this panel poster is to provide EAP instructors and course designers with a first-hand account of an actual needs analysis project, and to demonstrate how data from this project was used for curriculum alignment. In this poster, the panelists will begin by introducing the concept of needs analysis, and explaining its relevance to the EAP context. Next, the panelists will discuss how they applied this concept in order to determine the needs of a population of international students at a public university. Participants will learn specifically how data was collected and analyzed using Present Situation Analysis, Target Situation Analysis, and Discourse Analysis methods. They will also learn how the research findings were used to redesign the curriculum of a foundational EAP course, in order to better prepare students for future university coursework. Participants will be given an opportunity to ask questions to the panelists about their work. They will also receive handouts with information about designing, implementing, and applying the results of a needs analysis, with references to sources of additional information.This poster will explore how needs analysis can be used to improve the alignment of post-secondary EAP curricula. The author will discuss her own needs analysis project, detailing her methods of data collection and analysis, and share how the findings were used to redesign the curriculum of an EAP course
Représentations littéraires du sacré dans le roman maghrébin de langue française
No full textThis interdisciplinary study explores how Driss Chraïbi’s L’Homme du Livre (1995), Assia Djebar’s Loin de Médine (1991), and Anissa Boumediène’s La fin d’un monde (1991) present accounts of particular historical moments in early Islam. This study explores the role of the imagination as well as freedom of invention when reconstructing historical events. It engages the novels through a study of the interplay between the literary text and the sources and traditions that impact and shape the text narrative. Gaining direct access to the original sources in Arabic serves to analyze how religious and early historical materials are considered in and reflected by the fictional texts. Because the sources tend to differ in both content and approach, this study examines their preoccupations in order to determine the criteria of selection applied by each novelist.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Hanan Elsaye
Technologically intensive SMEs and AI: determinants of the growing demand for specialized training profiles
No full textThis paper analyzes the determinants of the demand by technologically intensive SMEs for profiles trained in artificial intelligence (AI). The study is based on the Theory of Skill-Biased Technological Change (SBTC), which posits that AI increases the demand for highly skilled workers while making routine skills obsolete. The sample includes 238 SMEs, selected for their integration of AI and diversity in terms of size and sectors. These companies, although local, are innovation-oriented and internationally open, allowing for the assessment of AI’s effects beyond major economic hubs. The adopted methodology is based on an econometric model using Ridge Regression. The results show that companies where AI complements human skills actively seek specialized profiles. The automation of routine tasks and the transformation of business models also contribute to this increased demand. Conversely, government support does not have a significant impact. Moreover, larger companies and those focused on exports exhibit a stronger need for qualified profiles
Program less waste sebagai inovasi dakwah Hanan Attaki
No full textDakwah tentang pengurangan sampah sangat penting dilakukan mengingat persoalan sampah masih menjadi problem bersama yang belum terselesaikan solusinya. Namun, tidak banyak para pendakwah yang melakukan dakwah dengan tema lingkungan, pengurangan sampah khususnya. Hanan Attaki sebagai pendakwah muda yang memiliki banyak pengikut, melakukan inovasi dakwah dengan mengkampanyekan program less waste sebagai materi dakwah. Tulisan ini merupakan studi kasus pada dakwah yang dilakukan Hanan Attaki di komunitas pemuda Bandung. Tulisan ini membahas tentang dua hal, pertama tentang inovasi dakwah yang disampaikan oleh Hanan Attaki kepada para pemuda untuk menanggulangi permasalahan sampah di kota Bandung, kedua tentang proses program less waste mampu memaksimalkan peran pemuda. Penulis menggunakan pendapat Al-Bayanuni dalam kitab Al-Madkhal Ila Ilmi Dakwah dalam menganalisis. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa inovasi dakwah Hanan Attaki dilakukan dengan membuat program less waste merupakan tindakan awal dalam pengaplikasian materi yang disampaikan kepada pemuda kota Bandung. Less waste dijadikan sebagai gaya hidup baru bagi para pemuda Bandung. Para pemuda diajarkan cara meminimalisir dan mengelola sampah organik dan anorganik. Sehingga, program less waste dapat membuat pemuda Bandung terlibat mengambil peran dalam isu lingkungan sekaligus mengatasinya secara langsung, serta mampu mengubah gaya pemuda yang suka nongkrong di cafe menjadi nongkrong di masjid. Da'wah about waste reduction is very important considering the problem of waste is still a common problem whose solution has not been resolved. However, not many preachers carry out preaching on the theme of the environment, especially waste reduction. Hanan Attaki as a young preacher who has many followers innovates da'wah by campaigning for a less waste program as a material for da'wah. This paper is a case study on the da'wah carried out by Hanan Attaki in the Bandung youth community. This paper discusses two things, first about the da'wah innovation conveyed by Hanan Attaki to youths to overcome the waste problem in the city of Bandung, second about the process of the less waste program capable of maximizing the role of youth. The author uses Al-Bayanuni's opinion in the book Al-Madkhal Ila Ilmi Dakwah in analyzing. The results of the study show that Hanan Attaki's innovation in preaching by creating a less waste program is the first step in the application of the material presented to the youth of Bandung. Less waste is used as a new lifestyle for Bandung youth. The youth are taught how to minimize and manage organic and inorganic waste. Thus, the less waste program can make Bandung youths involved in taking part in environmental issues as well as addressing them directly, as well as being able to change the style of youth who like to hang out in cafes to hang out in mosques
Socio-cultural barriers to female entrepreneurship in rural areas
No full textThis paper explores the socio-cultural barriers that hinder female entrepreneurship in rural Morocco, drawing on institutional and social role theories to understand how institutional and cultural factors influence women's economic choices. The study aims to provide an analysis of the constraints and opportunities in a context marked by rigid social norms and structural limitations, while suggesting ways to improve the empowerment of rural women. The data used in this study come from a sample of 272 women living in rural areas of Morocco. These women were selected to represent diverse profiles in terms of age, education level, and marital status, in order to capture the multiple dimensions of the entrepreneurial challenges they face. The study adopts an empirical approach based on an Ordered Probit model, appropriate for the ordinal nature of the dependent variable measuring the degree of entrepreneurial readiness. The results reveal that cultural expectations and social pressures constitute significant obstacles to female entrepreneurship in rural areas. Traditional roles and community norms have a strong negative effect on women's entrepreneurial engagement. Additionally, geographic mobility limitations restrict access to resources and opportunities, while access to social and economic networks is partially influential. On the other hand, increased access to financial and institutional resources emerges as an important factor promoting entrepreneurship. The study also highlights that education plays a positive role, while marital status, particularly for divorced women, is associated with a higher propensity to engage in entrepreneurial activities

Islam Nusantara sebagai Paradigma Ustadz Hanan Attaki
No full textParticularly in Indonesia, Islam Nusantara is a view initiated by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in response to geographical dispersion. Traditionalist Islam, also known as Islam Nusantara, is a Sufi-inspired orientation and is often generalized in NU discourse as Indonesian Islam, thereby ignoring the differences between the two. It is a hybrid form of Islam developed mainly in Java since the 16th century, which gradually blended with Javanese adat (customary law), Hinduism, Buddhism, and mystical practices. Through this argument, the phenomenon of hijrah, especially in Indonesia, has become the author\u27s concern, one of which is the latest, namely the inclusion of Ustad Hannan Attaki in the largest organization in Indonesia, even the world, namely Nahdlatul Ulama. This study aims to describe aspects of Nahdlatul Ulama-style Islam Nusantara that can influence Ustad Hannan Attaki\u27s views. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research with various literature reviews. The results of this article show that the authority of Kiai as the main component of Nusantara Islam has influenced Ustad Hanan Attaki\u27s thinking paradigm, especially through the figure of KH. Marzuki Mustamar. For Ustaz Hanan Attaki, KH. Marzuki is not only a representation of scientific sanad, but also a role model. He realizes that adhering to Ahlusunnah wal Jamaah is not enough without NU attachment, so allegiance to Nahdlatul Ulama is a form of commitment to peaceful da\u27wah
Repenser le Développement Durable à travers le Prisme du Bonheur
No full textThe quest for happiness is, without a doubt, an ambition shared globally. In other words, it constitutes the major concern of ordinary people across the four corners of the globe. However, it is important to note that its definition has evolved over time according to very diverse criteria. Today, there is agreement that lasting happiness extends beyond material satisfaction, fitting into the broader debate of sustainable development which stipulates a balance between economic growth, social cohesion, and environmental preservation for current and future well-being. Research emphasizes the importance of these three pillars in achieving lasting happiness, with particular attention to environmental impacts that are able to compromise quality of life. Academic debates show that the well-being of a society depends on several factors that vary between income, social relationships, and environmental health, and that sustainable development offers a more inclusive framework than the simple quest for wealth. From this perspective, indicators such as the Happy Planet Index reveal that well-being and social justice must be weighed as much as economic growth in the pursuit of happiness. Moreover, the literature argues for a holistic vision of happiness, implying deep reflection on our lifestyles and the need for collective action to establish truly sustainable and balanced development. It is in this vein that this article seeks to shed lighter on a possible correlation between happiness, sustainable development and lasting happiness.
Keywords: development, social sustainability, environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, sustainable happiness.

Paper type: Theoretical ResearchLa quête du bonheur est, sans aucun doute, une ambition partagée par tous à l'échelle mondiale. En d’autres termes, elle constitue le souci majeur du commun des mortels à travers les quatre coins du globe. Toutefois, il importe de noter que sa définition a évolué avec le temps selon des critères très variés. Aujourd'hui, on s’accorde que le bonheur durable s'étend au-delà de la satisfaction matérielle, s'insérant dans le débat plus large du développement durable qui stipule un équilibre entre croissance économique, cohésion sociale, et préservation de l'environnement pour le bien-être actuel et futur. Les recherches mettent l’accent sur l'importance de ces trois piliers pour aboutir à un bonheur durable, avec une attention particulière sur les impacts environnementaux qui sont en mesure de compromettre la qualité de vie. Les débats académiques montrent que le bien-être d'une société dépend de plusieurs facteurs qui varient entre le revenu, les relations sociales, et la santé environnementale, et que le développement durable offre un cadre plus inclusif que la simple quête de richesse. Dans cette perspective, des indicateurs tels que le Happy Planet Index révèlent que le bien-être et la justice sociale doivent être pondérés autant que la croissance économique dans la poursuite du bonheur. D’ailleurs, la littérature plaide pour une vision holistique du bonheur, impliquant une réflexion profonde sur nos modes de vie et la nécessité d'une action collective afin d’instaurer un développement véritablement durable et équilibré. C’est dans ce sillage que s’inscrit le présent article cherchant à projeter davantage de lumière sur une éventuelle corrélation entre le développement durable et le bonheur durable.

La Fontaine's Fables (Hebrew): ????? ?? ??????,
No full textAccording to the eBay seller, this is a very rare book. I believe him! It has the feel of a book put together by hand. It is about 7 3/8 square with rounded corners. He describes the canvas spine as new, but I would think that it also possible that it was put on by the publisher in 1942. The front cover and some pages have tears at the outside corner that have been artistically repaired. The tears do not affect the pictures. The nine pages have delightful colored illustrations that remind one of Hellé's work. The fables here include CF (also on the cover); Hercules and the Carter; OF; GGE; GA; FS; and TMCM. Between GGE and GA there is a fable and picture of a man happily watering flowers. GGE might be the most representative of the lovely pictures. I ordered this book, traveled to the Bay Area, and then wondered as I saw it still advertised on eBay. I am glad that I found it here when I returned home!Language note: HebrewLevin Kipni
