Partenariat des acteurs sociaux : quelle vision stratégique pour un développement territorial inclusif ?
Get PDFLa prise de conscience du besoin d’une stratégie de développement territorial ascendante et impulsée par les acteurs locaux, est étroitement liée au constat d’un Maroc à deux vitesses, enregistrant des inégalités territoriales notables et des dysfonctionnements en matière de gestion territoriale. Dans ce contexte, les stratégies de développement territorial intégré ont été entreprises dans plusieurs villes Marocaines, suite aux hautes orientations royales et avec l’appui de la Direction Générale des Collectivités Locales du Ministère de l’Intérieur. Ces initiatives ont pour objectif de promouvoir la décentralisation, la participation et la gouvernance territoriale, en renforçant les capacités des acteurs (acteurs sociaux, collectivités territoriales et l’Etat), afin qu’ils puissent conjuguer leurs efforts et travailler en partenariat pour impulser le développement de leurs territoire de manière équilibrée et inclusive. En se basant sur différentes approches et visant le renforcement d’attractivité et l’amélioration des conditions de vie de sa population. Nous avons tenté d’étudier de près ces relations partenariales et leur impact sur le développement territorial intégré pour atteindre un meilleur rendement à travers la bonne gouvernance

Paratext as Moral-Ethical Orientation in Harriet Jacobs's <i>Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl </i>(1861)
No full textIn the preface to her autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself (1861), Harriet Jacobs makes explicit her “desire to arouse the women of the North to a realizing sense of the condition” of enslaved people (Jacobs n. pag.). The preface itself constructs an implied reader and gears their moral judgement towards condemning slavery. As is characteristic of the autobiographical genre, Jacobs’s narrative identifies her simultaneously as author, narrator, and protagonist. Thus, her “Preface by the Author” blurs the distinction between her textual status as narrator and her extratextual status as author. This conflation is key to constructing the implied reader of the narrative: the narrator does not address mere narratees but constructs the latter as real-life readers – women living in the Northern US – whose reading experience, the preface claims, could prompt a real-life sense of personal responsibility in the struggle against slavery. The rhetoric of the preface can be analyzed through the combined lenses of deictic theory and narrative ethics. Jacobs’s moral-ethical deixis includes markers like right/wrong, good/bad and true/false. Jacobs orients the implied reader towards Abolition, by instructing them to judge “Freedom” as good and “Slavery” as bad. Correspondingly, Jacobs associates slavery with “persecut[ion]” and “suffering” by presenting it as a “deep, and dark, and foul ... pit of abominations” (Jacobs n. pag.). This moral deictic system is solidified by Jacobs’s claim, as author-narrator, that to validate these ethical coordinates is to “realiz[e]” the truth (Jacobs n. pag.). The moral deixis of Jacobs’s preface is instrumental in constructing what James Phelan defines as “the ethics of the telling” and “the ethics of reading/reception” of the narrative (Phelan n. pag.). The invitation of the implied audience into Jacobs’s ethical perspective simultaneously assigns them “moral responsibilities” and “obligations” (Phelan n. pag.) vis-à-vis the diegesis and its narratio
A New Quantum-computing-based Algorithm for Robotic Arms and Rigid Bodies’ Orientation
Get PDFQuantum computing model of robotic arm orientation is presented. Spherical and vector coordinates, a homogenous rotation matrix, Pauli gates and quantum rotation operators are used to formulate the orientation model and establish a new algorithm. The quantum algorithm uses a single qubit to compute orientation and has the advantage of operation reversibility. This was validated for a SCARA robot and a five-joints articulated robotic arm. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology
The dynamics of social representations in a situation of immigration
No full textFor the author, globalisation, defined as the internationalisation of exchanges, involves bearing in mind the migration issue in great national and international strategic concerns. Discourses on migration are closely linked with social representations in migratory events. This article constitutes an attempt to focus on the dynamics of social relations in a multicultural situation generated by migration, the objective of which lies in deconstructing the socialrepresentations of the immigrant. With the aim of establishing a theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of immigrants’ representations and making the instability and fragility of these relations explicit, it presents a brief historical compendium of immigration, before situating the stages of the construction of the social representation, differentiating identity and otherness
Dynamic Delegation Based on Temporal Context
No full textAbstractDelegation is a very important part of the administrative process in access control systems; it provides resiliency and flexibility regarding to the management procedure. Delegation is the process of granting a specific authorization from a user to another user of the same system to carry out some functions on his behalf. The delegation, although widely used, is modeled in very little security policies because of its complexity. In this paper we aim to consider the delegation dynamically based on temporal context, to this end we redefine delegation for OrBAC using temporal nonmonotonic description logic. OrBAC is an access control model; it provides the mean to specify contextual authorizations, which facilitates modeling delegation features such as temporary delegation, multiple delegation, revocation, etc. The description logic that we use for the re-formalization process is T- JClassicδɛ. This logic gives the mean to specify nonmonotonic authorizations, and a better representation of the temporal aspects specific to a given delegation. This new representation augments the expressivity of the model and therefore it facilitates even more the representation and the management of the delegation characteristics
Training and assessing perspective taking through A Hole New Perspective
No full textIn recent years, the use of Augmented and Virtual Reality (ARNR) has taken a larger role within training and education of various fields, but not every individual experiences the benefits that AR and VR technology are thought to provide. The perspective taking skill of an individual may be a good indicator of the effectiveness that AR and VR training can achieve. However, we found that the tests in other research targeting small scale perspective taking are few and limited, as perspective taking is often hard to distinguish from mental rotation. Therefore, we designed and developed A Hole New Perspective, a serious game created specifically to test and train an individual’s perspective-taking ability. A Hole New Perspective focuses on the relationship between a 3D object floating in the air and a 2D hole on a moving wall. The core game mechanics consists of having the player rotate the object so that it fits in the hole, before the wall hits the object. Because players do not always have an aligned view with the hole, they have to call on their spatial perspective-taking abilities, in addition to mental rotation. We tested the game with a variety of test subjects, and compared these test results with the Perspective Taking/Spatial orientation Test. Early results have shown that performance in the game corresponds to mental rotation ability. Furthermore, there are indications that improvement in spatial ability through the game is selectively present for those with lower spatial abilities. This further substantiates the need for a more individualized approach when offering AR and VR in education. Additional training may be needed for some, but not all students.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Computer Graphics and Visualisatio
Representation of Women in "The silence of Mohammed" by Salim BACHI
No full text‘The Silence of Muhammad’ is a novel written by Salim BACHI, published in 2008, it is a fictionalized story based on historical facts recounting different facets of the life of the Prophet of Islam Mohammed – Peace be upon Him. He was a man like no other who began his life as a shepherd in Mecca. Then he became a successful merchant. In this novel, the author relates another aspect of the life of the Prophet according to the eyes of two of his wives, notably, Khadidja and Aicha. Hence, this paper tries to highlight the different facets of the life of the Prophet of Islam; our attempt is placed on the humanistic side of the Man before being a Prophet. Besides, attention is placed on the existence of women in the life of the Prophet through his two wives
