The Cultural Heritage of the City of Hun 1835-1945
type: item
description: This study examines the cultural heritage of Hun (1835–1945), one of the important oases of the Jufra region with significant historical and social value. Using a descriptive-analytical historical method, the research highlights the city’s development through three main stages, its agricultural and pastoral activities sustained by groundwater resources, and its role in religious education through Qur’anic schools and Sufi lodges. The study also explores both tangible and intangible heritage, including traditional foods, drying and storage methods, cooking utensils, folk medicine with herbs, cupping, and cauterization. Furthermore, it discusses the role of religious institutions such as the Qadiriyya, Sanussiyya, Asmariyya, and Issawiyya orders, as well as mosques as centers of learning and worship. The research sheds light on prominent scholars and preachers who contributed to the spread of knowledge and guidance. Findings reveal that Hun represented a model of interaction between the desert environment, agriculture, pastoralism, and cultural heritage, producing a rich legacy that remains embedded in the community’s identity

Digital Social Pollution and its Impact on Values and Social Relationships (A Field Study of a Sample of Digital Platform Users)
type: item
description: The research aimed to study digital social pollution, as it is one of the emerging issues resulting from the intensive use of social media platforms. These platforms have become an integral part of daily life, yet they have posed multiple challenges directly to social values and relationships. The research relied on a social survey approach with a sample of (200) respondents from different age groups who are social media users. Data was collected using an electronic questionnaire that included several axes to determine the impact of digital social pollution on social relationships and values. The research results revealed an addiction to these platforms. The study also revealed a decline in traditional social values and a loss of the warmth of real social relationships. The research concluded that digital social pollution represents a real threat, especially in the absence of a realistic preventative strategy

"The Contribution of Women Scholars to the Flourishing of Educational Institutions in al- Maghrib al-Aqsa during the ldrisid Era :Fatima al-Fihri as a Model
type: item
description: This study highlights the contribution of women scholars to the flourishing of educational institutions in Morocco during the Idrisid era, through the case study of Fatima al-Fihri. The foundation of al-Qarawiyyin University in Fez in 245 AH / 859 CE marked a turning point in the history of Islamic education. Her initiative was based on the waqf (endowment) system, which ensured the continuity and independence of the scientific institution. The research emphasizes that women’s role in intellectual life was not limited to learning, but also extended to founding, managing, and directing institutions, making women active partners in building scholarly and civilizational edifices. The experience further reveals that women’s endowments served as a strategic tool for safeguarding education and ensuring its sustainability across centuries. Fatima al-Fihri thus embodied the model of the pioneering woman scholar and contributed to shaping the features of educational revival in Morocco. Her legacy remains a testimony to the effective presence of women in the intellectual and civilizational history of Islam. Furthermore, Kairouan served as the starting point for Islamic conquests and later became a distinguished scientific and cultural center that brought together scholars and thinkers from across the Islamic world. Its universities, especially the historic Mosque-University of Uqba ibn Nafi‘, stood as comprehensive institutions where religious, linguistic, and natural sciences were taught

Alain Touraine's The End of Societies – A Sociological Reading of the Paradigm Shift from the Social to the Cultural-Ethical
type: item
description: Alain Touraine’s The End of Societies (2013) is a major contribution to redefining contemporary sociology. The author proposes a shift from a structure-centered social paradigm to a cultural paradigm centered on the “active subject” and human rights. The book examines the transformation of modern societies after the decline of class struggle and the rise of “subjectivation societies” in which collective action is framed within an ethical and rights-based horizon, beyond traditional economic struggles. This review outlines the book’s intellectual context, summarizes its content, and provides a critical reading of key concepts such as “total power,” “ethical movements,” and “dignity” as a principle of resistance. It also discusses Touraine’s contribution to renewing sociological theory and its ability to grasp contemporary transformations

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Usage on Cultural Identity and Social Upbringing among Algerian Youth
type: item
description: This study investigates the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on cultural identity and social upbringing among Algerian youth, utilizing two rigorously validated scales directed at both youth and their parents. The scale administered to youth measured the frequency and extent of AI usage and its effects on cultural identity, while the scale for parents assessed AI’s impact on social upbringing. Results indicate that AI explains 79% of the variance in cultural identity, demonstrating a strong positive and statistically significant effect. Moreover, a significant correlation was identified between AI use and its perceived influence on social upbringing from the parental perspective. The analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in AI’s impact relative to the age of youth or educational level of parents, suggesting a broadly pervasive and homogeneous effect across demographics. The findings underscore the imperative for further empirical research on the potential of AI applications to reinforce cultural identity within the context of ongoing digital transformation

Understanding parental impact on children's gender socialisation
type: item
description: This research article examines the key role that parents play in the socialisation of children with regard to gender. It studies the reproduction of stereotypical attitudes, behaviours and injunctions during what sociologists refer to as “primary socialisation”. From a sociological and developmental perspective, this article presents gendered parenting practices, whether implicit or explicit, such as: identification and modelling through the traditional division of labour, the transmission of gendered norms, gender-based encouragement, the choice of toys, clothes, etc. This gendered education has potential consequences for girls’ and boys’ identities that must be carefully considered

“Self-interest and Political Kinship: Power Dynamics in Federal Nepal”
type: item
description: This article attempts to scrutinize the recent culture of politics and powerplay that has been enacting and performed since the very advent of downfall of shah regime, transforming Nepal into Federal Democratic Republic on may 28, 2008 A.D., from mass protest, overthrowing the 240-year-old monarchy, fostering immense culture of inclination to wide arrays of political ideologies yet the subtle voices of oppressions and dominations still persist in everyday livelihood dimensions, due to collective political manipulation and exploitation of the subordinates and the hegemony over subalterns. The study further aims to explore through an interpretivist mixed method paradigm based on prolonged ethnography and participant observation through unstructured and semi-structured interviews to elicit the social realities being shaped by political suppression and the embedded artificial political kinship network of inheritance and corporate groups in reforming the hierarchies and conflicts suffused by self-interest attitudes for power capital and exerting knowledge to gain power. The explicit goal of this research is to proffer the crucial need in redefining and bridging the gap between policy and practice to demolish the traditional form of dominance, which is still in practice as a disguise of Kinship

Arabic Translation Work: Erik Stokstad Seed Disperser Declines Threaten Europe’s Plants [ Science, vol.386.Issue.6718. 11 Oct.r 2024. 136]
type: item
description: When hunters wiped out most fruit eating birds in the tropical forest of Lambir Hills National Park on western Borneo by the 1990s, the skies grew duller—and in a few years so did the forest. Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of fruit-producing plants declined, illuminating the critical importance of seed dispersal for ecosystem health. The movement of seeds across the landscape in animals’ guts is a “glue that keeps ecological communities together,” says Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich. Now, ecosystems in temperate climates seem to be coming unglued as well. On p. 206, a team reports that at least one-third of European plant species could be in trouble because most of the animals that move their seeds are threatened or declining. The study is “brilliant and compelling” but also “alarming,” says Pedro Jordano, an ecologist at the University of Seville. The decline in seed dispersers—not just birds, but also mammals, reptiles, and ants—could jeopardize the ability of plants to expand their range to cope with climate change or recover after wildfire, he adds, especially in Europe’s highly fragmented landscap

The Enduring Struggle for Egalitarian Governance: Elites, Power, and Political Ideals Running Head: The Enduring Struggle for Egalitarian Governance
type: item
description: This paper critiques the persistent issue of elite capture in political systems, examining how the concentration of power undermines the core principles of democracy and justice. It analyzes historical and contemporary examples—from ancient Rome's patrician rule to modern democratic issues like campaign financing and centralized systems such as socialism and monarchies—highlighting the enduring dominance of elites. Despite these challenges, models of decentralized governance, including Athens' democracy, Switzerland's referendums, and Brazil’s participatory budgeting, offer alternatives to elite control. The paper also explores the potential of AI-driven governance to enhance efficiency, impartiality, and transparency as innovate suggestion, while addressing concerns over bias, discrimination, and power centralization. It proposes a hybrid model combining human judgment with AI efficiency to promote fairness and public engagement, though acknowledging the risks of exacerbating inequalities and overlooking human complexities. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes the need for continuous reforms focused on decentralization, transparency, and citizen participation to achieve truly participatory governance. It concludes that whether human-led or AI-assisted, governance must resist elite capture, prioritize inclusivity, and ensure collective well-being. The study calls for further research into the practical implications of AI integration, particularly its impact on power structures and inequalities

Le rôle du cinéma dans la construction sociale de l’enfant
type: item
description: Dans cet article nous tentons de montrer le rôle du cinéma dans la construction de l’enfant, en tant qu’individu social, au même titre que les autres espaces et environnements de socialisation tels que la famille, l'école et les établissements d’accueil de la petite enfance (crèches, jardin d’enfants, etc.). Cette étude examinera, dans un premier temps, la variable sociale comme processus fondamental dans la formation et la consolidation de la personnalité de l'individu et dans son intégration dans la société environnante. Il revient sur l’importance du processus de socialisation dans la transmission de valeurs, de normes et de codes permettant l’apprentissage des interactions sociales par l’enfant et l’accomplissement de son évolution d’un être biologique vers un individu social. La deuxième partie explore le rôle que joue le cinéma comme produit culturel, mais également comme espace de socialisation, dans le processus de formation de l’être social en devenir, par la construction et la transmission d’un imaginaire social collectif

Marriage Rituals and Ceremonies within the Social Structures of Tafilalt: A Socio-Anthropological Study of the Cultural Framework of the Beni M'hammed Tribes.
type: item
description: Marriage rituals in the oasis society, especially among the Beni M'hammed tribes in the Ziz Oasis, have historically played a central role in shaping social, cultural, and familial structures. Governed by inherited norms and traditions, marriage was deeply connected to lineage, kinship, and tribal affiliation, under the influence of the extended family and tribal authority. Despite the complex and layered nature of these social structures, marriage served to define relationships and societal order. Over time, however, these traditional rituals have undergone notable changes, highlighting a clear shift between past practices and modern forms of marriage within the oasis communities

The Social and Health Effects of Violence Against Children in Traditional Mining Areas in Northern Sudan
type: item
description: This study aimed to identify the social and health impacts of violence against children in traditional mining areas in the Northern State .The researchers used the descriptive analytical method, and the study tools included: interview questionnaires, focus group discussions, a questionnaire directed at children ,and a questionnaire directed at families. The study population consisted of children working in traditional mining areas in the Northern State, with a sample size of 385 children ,The study reached several key findings, including the increasing prevalence of child labor in traditional mining areas, where children work in hazardous environments and are exposed to health risks such as mercury poisoning and various physical injuries. There is a lack of health institutions and essential services in mining areas, leaving children vulnerable to diseases and injuries without adequate medical care. Furthermore, insufficient oversight of the work environment allows for the continued exploitation of children in unsafe conditions, with weak enforcement of protective laws ,The researchers recommended establishing mobile health institutions in traditional mining areas to provide medical care and treatment for working children and mitigate the health risks they face. They also called for the activation of laws and regulations that prohibit child labor in hazardous occupations, imposing stricter penalties on violators, and enhancing government oversight of the work environment. Additionally, they suggested launching educational and compensatory programs for working children, including youth classes and vocational education, to empower them in building a better future

The Enduring Struggle for Egalitarian Governance: Elites, Power, and Political Ideals
type: item
description: This paper critiques the persistent issue of elite capture in political systems, examining how the concentration of power undermines the core principles of democracy and justice. It analyzes historical and contemporary examples—from ancient Rome's patrician rule to modern democratic issues like campaign financing and centralized systems such as socialism and monarchies—highlighting the enduring dominance of elites. Despite these challenges, models of decentralized governance, including Athens' democracy, Switzerland's referendums, and Brazil’s participatory budgeting, offer alternatives to elite control. The paper also explores the potential of AI-driven governance to enhance efficiency, impartiality, and transparency as innovate suggestion, while addressing concerns over bias, discrimination, and power centralization. It proposes a hybrid model combining human judgment with AI efficiency to promote fairness and public engagement, though acknowledging the risks of exacerbating inequalities and overlooking human complexities. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes the need for continuous reforms focused on decentralization, transparency, and citizen participation to achieve truly participatory governance. It concludes that whether human-led or AI-assisted, governance must resist elite capture, prioritize inclusivity, and ensure collective well-being. The study calls for further research into the practical implications of AI integration, particularly its impact on power structures and inequalities

Electoral Systems in Iraq After 2003- An Analytical Study
type: item
description: After 2003, Iraq's electoral systems witnessed significant and important developments. The proportional representation system was adopted in parliamentary elections, allowing for broader representation of various political parties, including smaller parties that previously had little chance in the electoral systems. This system aims to achieve fairness in the distribution of parliamentary seats based on the percentage of votes each party receives, enhancing the representation of different social and political groups in parliament. Decisions related to electoral systems were influenced by the complex political, social, and historical circumstances that Iraq experienced, leading to continuous changes in how elections are organized to ensure the highest level of transparency and integrity. These changes included improvements in electoral procedures, increased oversight of the electoral process, and strengthening the role of independent institutions in supervising elections to prevent manipulation of results

Language And Racism
type: item
description: This study explores the intricate connections between language and racism, grounded in the framework of "modern race" and the concept of racism within the context of European modernity. Here, race is understood as a social system that has historically evolved through multiple forms, classifying individuals based on physical traits and racialized constructs. Within modern frameworks, race is deeply embedded in social structures and the global order, inextricably tied to colonial processes and racialized slavery driven by capitalist imperatives. Understanding race is crucial for analyzing how racial categories are organized and perceived across diverse social and cultural contexts. The research examines "ethnicity" as a concept that reflects differences at multiple levels—such as phenotypic and ethnic distinctions—and how these differences intersect to shape social and cultural dynamics. It highlights how racism has influenced the formation of European modernity, positioning modernity itself as a racialized project in which racist ideologies intertwine with notions of sovereignty and citizenship. The study also underscores language’s pivotal role in perpetuating racism by enabling linguistic and cultural hegemony, and how racist language ideologies reinforce racial hierarchies in society. Two key approaches to studying language and racism are discussed: "racial linguistics" and "Indigenous and decolonial frameworks," each contributing to our understanding of how language and racism intersect. The research concludes that race and racism are profoundly entangled with language, and addressing racial injustices in society requires a deep understanding of this relationship. It calls for further interdisciplinary research to better comprehend how language sustains racist ideologies and how linguistic and cultural reforms can challenge systemic racism

The bureaucratization of syndicalism in Morocco: A sociological study of the determinants, manifestations and implications
type: item
description: The first section of this article states the circumstances that encompass the emergence of union organizations and their primary roles, as well as an analysis of the phenomenon of bureaucracy and its inherent characteristics, which swing between positive and negative aspects. The second section focuses on the manifestations of bureaucracy within union organizations and their unintended outcomes on union work, elaborating the experience of the union movement in Morocco. This movement suffers from the prevalence of bureaucratic manifestations within its union structures, where a bureaucratic character dominates union work due to the union leadership’s control over union decision-making mechanisms. This has led to the dedication of centralized decision-making, that results in the exclusion of more dynamic and active union elements and the weakening of their influence in guiding and strengthening union work. Undoubtedly, the spread of factionalism among workers and employees, through the rise of factional struggles and their organization into numerous coordination groups, can be the clearest evidence of the decline of union work in Morocco and other Maghreb countries. This decline is the effect of the proliferation of manifestations of union bureaucracy, which has directly contributed to decreasing the foundations and the pillars of internal democracy within union organizations

The Administrative Decision on Travel Ban
type: item
description: the right to freedom of movement and travel from one place to another is an inherent human right, essential to human life given the psychological and physical nature of individuals. This right serves as a foundational pillar of human rights and freedoms in general. It is a relative, not absolute, right, subject to regulations and limitations that govern its exercise. Constitutions and legislations oversee the regulation of the right to movement and travel. This research addresses the concept of the administrative decision to impose a travel ban, which constitutes a restriction on an individual's freedom of movement, an essential right that cannot be waived. It examines the conditions and legal nature of such decisions, differentiates between judicial action and administrative decisions, and identifies the authorities responsible for issuing and contesting travel bans. The research is divided into two main sections: the first explores the nature and legal characteristics of the administrative decision imposing a travel ban, while the second outlines the authorities empowered to issue and contest such decisions. The research, based on a comparative analytical approach, concludes with a set of findings and recommendations. A key finding is that a travel ban is a temporary precautionary measure aimed at preventing individuals from leaving the country, issued by a competent judicial authority when sufficient evidence exists to justify it. In Palestinian legislation, the nature of a travel ban is an ongoing administrative decision, whereas in Kuwaiti law, its nature varies according to the matter at hand. In criminal and civil matters, the travel ban serves as a precautionary measure pending trial, while in bankruptcy cases, it is not considered punitive unless bankruptcy is formally declared
