The restructuring of Tunisian and Moroccan educational systems following the decolonization led to a dualistic system : on one hand, the neglected state education and on the other hand, a highly elitist public or private education for the ruling class of both countries. At the end of this elitist education in Tunisia or Morocco, one of the best ways for pursuing academic studies is the training given in France by the preparatory classes for entrance to the Grandes Ecoles. Two years of preparatory classes allow entrance to these Grande Ecoles by competitive examination. The presented study is the outcome of a research held in a Parisian boarding school, which welcomes young North African women in preparatory classes. The study emphasizes how the students gender is interlinked with their social class. The objective is to explore to what extent those studying orientations, driven by the strategies of the family, are modified or not by the students gender and the one of the relatives who have influenced them.

The purpose of this study is to define the impact of occupational noise on occupational safety. The proportion of accidents (attributable risk) attributable to noise exposure (≥ 90 dBA) and to noise induced hearing loss (≥ 16 dB HL) was calculatedamong a sample of 57 732 workers of both sexes involved in 45 375 accidents occurring in the 5 years period following an audiometric screening test. Quebec workers compensation board (CSST) data were used to compute the averagecost of an accident. The average cost is based on all expenses incurred in relation to accidents that occurred to all the workers of Quebec during three base years, without considering noise exposure.The analyses have allowed to define the proportion of accidents that are attributableto noise or to hearing loss, or both, to estimate the mean cost of an accident and to compute the total cost of all accidents attributable to noise for the CSST. Results indicate that the annual burden of occupational noise exposure among 400 000 workers exposed daily to occupational noise, lies yearly between 20 and 27M$ for the CSST. These sums are to be added to the annual cost of compensation for professional deafness (8,6M$); the aggregation of both these costs gives a more precise estimate of the true financial burden of occupational noise and shows the relevance of taking proper account of the consequences of noise for occupational safety in the estimations of the cost of occupational noise exposure.

Change is the modus operandi of contemporary organizations. In many organizations, they are constant, rapid and overlapping, creating a saturation of change. In such a context, change management becomes particularly complex. One of the main difficulties is related to the recipients, who may have difficulty coping with the changes. It becomes essential for managers to understand how recipients adapt to change in order to be more successful. Improving the recipients’ capacity to change (RCC) could be a key to change management. However, RCC can refer to different realities, so its dimensions and the levers that can promote it remain unclear. The objective of this study is to clarify the RCC and to identify the levers used to promote it. Thus, a systematic review of the literature on RCC was conducted in the following databases: ABI/INFORM, APA PsycInfo and Business Source Complete. The 69 articles selected were used to generate a conceptual map clarifying three dimensions of change capacity: openness to change (OC), commitment to change (CC) and behavioural support for change (BSC). These would represent a continuum of the recipient’s evolving positive responses to change. Three levers used to promote them (information and communication, support, and participation) were also identified. The preferred levers would evolve along the RCC continuum.
