The main interest of concentrations measurements of suspended sediment (SS) in a catchment area is to establish an average sediment budget and deduct mechanical erosion rates at the basin scale. However, quantification of SS yield of a river is a delicate task, particularly in semi-arid area where the violent floods and short duration make it difficult samples. In the present study, measurements of water discharge and concentrations has been conducted by the National Agency of Water Resources in Bou-Hanifia basin, an important sub-basin of the Macta watershed characterized by a semi arid climate and strong rates of erosion. The sediments budgets results reflect a very strong temporal variability, both at seasonal as interannual scale, of solid transport. This is largely related to the climate aggressivity that can provide a very strong mobilization of SS occurring at varying periods. At the watershed scale during the period 1993-2006, the average sediments budgets is estimated to be 1,8 x 106 tonnes (t) and a degradation of 343 t∙a-1∙km-2. Indeed, the wet years are more exporting of SS. Thus, autumn season is the most erosive of the year representing 75% of the annual budget. In fact, the majority of SS export occurs during flood at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and they are at the origin between 36% and 94% sediment yield annually transported for 1% of the time, or three days per year.

Like other cities throughout the world, Algiers, Rabat and Ankara are undergoing socio-urban transformations which most often have destructuring effects on working-class neighbourhoods. Generally inspired by neoliberal urban policies, these transformations exacerbate socio-spatial inequalities and degrade the living conditions of women who resist these transformations in various ways. These women mobilize to claim their right to the city and, in particular, their right to remain in their neighbourhood. This article aims to shed light on the awareness and politicization mechanisms of women in lower-income neighborhoods—the least visible and least vocal group—through their resistance to the socio-urban transformations that these cities are experiencing, in order to help account for the ongoing reconfigurations of gendered citizenship in difficult contexts. Based on working-class neighborhoods in Algiers, Rabat and Ankara, this analysis focuses on the social and political practices of women and on how they assert themselves in the public space and through collective mobilizations. Our objective is to capture how their requests for the recognition of their rights are manifested and the way in which women negotiate this process.

Literature is an autonomous endeavor that represents illness in an aesthetic and fictional way, beyond medical and clinical semiology. Sur ma mère (2008) by Tahar Ben Jelloun is a hybrid work, at the crossroads of genres ; part novel, part essay, and part testimony to a human and pathological condition that uproots one's being and identity from their connection with time, memory, space, and consciousness. How has Ben Jelloun managed to portray Alzheimer's disease on both aesthetic and clinical levels ? What narrative techniques and terminological background does he employ ? A dual literary and cognitive approach is crucial to addressing these questions. For Ben Jelloun, this work is a form of cathartic fiction : the evocation of personal and hetero-personal memories, the constitutive events of Lalla Fatma's life, and her dissolution through neurodegenerative disease. True to himself and to his mother's blessing, Ben Jelloun reflects on the elderly, Eastern mother—bedridden, losing autonomy, eventually confined, mute, and in agony.

The informal use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) appears to be transforming the learning experience of Moroccan students, underscoring the need to analyze their behaviour in order to assess the impact of this technology on their academic performance. Holec's (1981) reflections on learner autonomy, further developed by Benson (2013), provide the theoretical framework for this study, which seeks to examine how GenAI contributes to the learning of French as a foreign language (FFL) in a hybrid learning context. To this end, a mixed-methods research design was implemented with students from the Faculty of Science of Rabat (FSR). The findings indicate that GenAI, which is widely integrated into students' practices, supports the co‑construction of linguistic competencies, and fosters the development of autonomy, critical thinking, and ethical awareness* among many learners who engage with the technology in a reflective manner.

In Canada, the recruitment of internationally educated nurses is an increasingly topical issue that raises ethical questions in the media and scientific literature. Although the nursing shortage is a global problem, Canada—particularly at the provincial and territorial levels—and other developed countries have actively implemented international recruitment campaigns to fill vacant positions. The surge in vacancies in recent years is explained by a number of complex and interconnected factors, such as inadequate staffing, excessive workloads, mandatory overtime, toxic workplaces, endemic violence against nursing staff and a lack of adequate workforce planning. Thousands of nurses have left or are leaving their workplaces or even the profession. At the same time, many internationally educated nurses already living in Canada are unemployed or underemployed. Many face barriers related to immigration, professional licensing and labour market integration. They report that the process of entering the nursing profession in Canada remains long, complex, costly and stressful, preventing them from appropriately applying their knowledge, experience and expertise to integrate into the Canadian nursing workforce. Observing the power dynamics between provinces, this article describes recruitment and integration measures adopted in three Canadian provinces – Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. We analyze whether these measures adequately align with the 2010 Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. Subsequently, we propose priority strategic actions for policymakers to invest in local recruitment, initiate more robust workforce planning and encourage Canada to become more self-sufficient, in order to foster the transformation of health and social services systems.

À travers le monde islamique, une famille de partis politiques que l’on appelle à tort ou à raison « les partis islamistes modérés » enregistre des résultats électoraux exceptionnels chaque fois qu’un de ses membres participe à un scrutin qui comporte un minimum de transparence, notamment en Turquie, au Maroc et en Palestine. Les premières participations des islamistes aux élections des pays du Printemps arabe confirment davantage cette règle, comme l’illustrent les cas de l’Égypte et de la Tunisie. Sur le plan académique, ce contexte laisse émerger une importante hypothèse. L’évolution de bon nombre d’organisations islamistes en partis politiques qui participent activement à la vie publique de leurs pays serait l’indice d’une sécularisation de ces organisations, animée par une sincère conversion à la démocratie.

Out of the disparate elements of his Moroccan jewish childhood, and his career as a Parisian academic and a writer, Marcel B. has set about to forge an "original literary object. " This article proposes to analyze how he bas managed to realize this intention through successive approximations. When all is said and done, his "familial epic" emerges as a construct of tightlyknit com-porients. Obsessed with its own genesis and intent on diagnosing the ills whose cure it in facts is, the work ultimately succeeds, at least partly, in accomplishing its purpose, just as Bénabou despairs of the possibility of its doing so.
