The Epistemic Horizon in the Writings of Abdelkader Bouarfa

2026-07-13T00:23:10+00:00

Explore this study the epistemological horizon within the project of the philosopher and researcher Abdelkader Bourafa as articulated in his recent works (2021–2026), through a critical analysis of four of his most prominent publications. Across their texts, the study identifies a serious attempt to delineate social epistemology within the field of the human and social sciences, with the aim of forming the critical human subject.

Adopt the study a qualitative content-analysis methodology to examine conceptual transformations in Bourafa’s works, beginning with a critique of the epistemological foundations of contemporary social sciences, moving through an analysis of the phenomenon of “epistemic chaos” as an opportunity for reconfiguration, and culminating in the reactivation of the Arab-Islamic heritage as an effective cognitive system.

Conclude the study that Bouarfa proposes an alternative epistemological project that transcends traditional binaries (authenticity/modernity, heritage/modernity, reason/transmission, predecessor/successor) by centering the “question” as a foundational structure of knowledge. This orientation opens new horizons for reshaping the Arab cognitive mind within a polycentric global context.

Discuss the study as well the intersections of this project with the literature on the critique of reason, particularly in the works of Mohammed Abed al-Jabri and Taha Abderrahmane, highlighting the specificity of the Bourafa an approach in assimilating contemporary global transformations.

Jules Vuillemin and the Classification of Major Philosophical Systems

2026-07-13T00:22:57+00:00

This article, entitled “Jules Vuillemin and the Classification of Major Philosophical Systems: A Linguistic Approach to the History of Philosophy,” examines Vuillemin’s conception of the philosophical system through a classificatory framework that moves beyond traditional descriptive historicist accounts of the history of philosophy.

The study is grounded in a hypothesis formulated as a guiding question, which Vuillemin reformulated at the epistemological level, thereby avoiding both descriptive historicism and comprehensive metaphysical constructions. This approach enables a critical and analytical understanding of the philosophical system.

Within this framework, Vuillemin does not conceive the system as a merely historical construction, as in Hegel, nor as a metaphysical illusion, as in Nietzsche. Rather, he understands it as an argumentative structure characterized by determinate logical and ontological commitments and by internal logical coherence. Accordingly, the criterion for classifying philosophical systems lies in the nature of their first principles, namely assertions and predications.

The Status of Rationality in the Project of the Thinker Fahmi Rajih Jad'an

2026-07-13T00:22:45+00:00

Fahmi Jadaan is one of the most prominent thinkers in contemporary Arab thought, as his field of research focused on the Enlightenment project in the Arab world and the revival of the rational heritage rooted in the history of Islamic thought and benefiting from it, Rationality is prominent in the topics addressed by the thinker Fahmi Jad'an in critical, rational, and enlightened thought, in its intellectual, religious, and political aspects , especially the call to revive the thought of Averroes, and he sees it as the solution out of the intellectual crisis and religious and sectarian conflicts, and calls for an integrative rationality project that achieves real reform in the essence of religion, politics and thought, establishing an Arab social space with a limit. This study aims to introduce the project of the thinker Fahmi Jad’an and his intellectual and philosophical contributions.

The Transition from the Paradigm of Simplification to the Paradigm of Complexity According to Edgar Morin

2026-07-13T00:22:08+00:00

The multiplicity of methodologies in the scientific field is a hallmark of contemporary science, which has embraced the
principles of reduction, generalization, and simplification to bridge gaps in the process of standardization and to arrive at
conclusions in concise ways. Therefore, this research paper aims to adopt a different approach from what we have come
to expect in the scientific field, one based on a paradigm of complexity rather than simplification, and an openness to the
sciences rather than specialization. These principles constitute the cornerstone of Edgar Morin's epistemology. We have
employed the analytical method to analyze Morin's approach and the comparative method to clarify the difference
between Morin's epistemology and classical epistemology. This has paved the way for a new paradigm through which
science can gather the disparate elements of scientific knowledge, rejecting fragmentation and reduction.

Language and Society

2026-07-13T00:22:20+00:00

This article investigates the interplay between two influential strands in linguistic theory: one that conceptualizes language as a socially embedded structure shaped by historical and philosophical currents, and another that applies this conceptualization through empirical research grounded in social variables such as gender, class, and geography. It posits that while the social perspective on language emerged within a traditional intellectual context, it has been significantly refined through quantitative and analytical methodologies that facilitate the observation of linguistic phenomena in real-life social settings. Despite differences in theoretical orientations and methodological approaches, the article highlights a persistent epistemological continuity between both strands. The study aims to reassess the development of sociolinguistics by examining how theoretical and empirical approaches converge, without reducing one to the other.

The child on the margin and the task of bildung in Mohammed Chaouki Zine

2026-07-13T00:21:55+00:00

From the child, several philosophical projects have unfolded: Mounier’s personalism, which affirms that prior to the ego there exists the familial we from which the self is formed; and Buber’s dialogical philosophy, which opens communication with the child’s first cry upon entering the world-a cry of exile and a call to the maternal other. The aim, therefore, is the axioligical formation of the human being within a universal horizon , beginning in childhood as a decisive stage of life. Adopting an analytic-critical method, we examine philosophical positions that make the child their central concept, grounding their structures in critique. We also elucidate Mohammed Chaouki Zine’s account of the emergence of bildung as a theory of value formation, showing-alongside him-that Greec paideia, derived from pais, constitutes thechildhood and memory of bildung, exceeding education to inscribe the universal within the particular.

Public Birth

2026-07-13T00:21:40+00:00

Hannah Arendt is considered one of the most prominent political philosophers of the twentieth century and her intellectual project was characterized by the search for a new horizon for freedom and human action outside the traditional models of political philosophy. Amidst debates about power, freedom, and totalitarian modernity, Arendt introduced a new concept into the field of political philosophy: “natality” She considered the human being not only a rational or speaking being, but primarily a born being. This definition refers not only to biological origin, but also to the human being’s capacity for beginning. From this perspective, natality becomes the foundation of freedom and the key to understanding political action understood as the capacity to bring something new into the world ,

This article will analyze the concept of unity in Hannah Arendt’s philosophy by tracing its connection to the concepts of action, freedom, plurality, and the public sphere. It will demonstrate how Arendt was able to rethink politics starting from this philosophical-ontological understanding, and how she presented it as a response to the challenges posed by political modernity, particularly in the context of totalitarianism.

Research Methods in Sociology

2026-07-13T00:21:18+00:00

This paper seeks to clarify the methodological diversification found, not only among social sciences but in the same science. If we take, e.g., sociology, we find this phenomenon which is due to the theoretical frames of reference, the goals aimed at, and the nature of the subject. This is the reason why we need to study the methods of scientific research in order to equip researchers and students with methodological tools which enable them to discover, explain and organize their subject-matter.

Street Culture and Its Influence on Social Development

2026-07-13T00:20:58+00:00

This research examines the impact of street culture on the process of socialization within the family, as one of the most important institutions responsible for shaping an individual’s personality and regulating social behavior. The study highlights the conflict between the role of the family and that of the street in instilling values and norms, especially in light of the increasing amount of time children spend outside the family environment. The research adopted the descriptive method using a questionnaire and was applied to an exclusive sample of male and female teachers at Jami’ Al-Toghar Secondary School in the Sahl Al-Jafara region. The findings revealed that street culture negatively affects children’s behavior through weakened family supervision, reduced dialogue within the family, and the acquisition of socially and religiously undesirable behaviors. The study also showed that families attempt to limit these effects through various means, but face significant challenges.

The Impact of Environmental Awareness on Quality of Life in Saudi Society

2026-07-13T00:20:36+00:00

This study examines the impact of environmental awareness on quality of life in Saudi society by conducting a content analysis of selected environmental media platforms in the Kingdom—specifically the 'Saudi Green' accounts and the official accounts of the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture on Twitter and Instagram. The findings indicate that environmental media contributes significantly to shaping a health-conscious cognitive and behavioral framework among individuals toward environmental issues. However, the study also reveals persistent challenges that limit the effectiveness of environmental media in reaching diverse social groups and geographical areas across the Kingdom. These findings highlight the necessity of enhancing and supporting environmental media to strengthen its communicative role in addressing environmental concerns, which are closely tied to quality of life and represent a core objective of Saudi Vision 2030."

Western Classical Music as a Cultural Practice within the Algerian Context

2026-07-13T00:20:16+00:00

This study analyzes the practice of Western classical music in Algerian society as an artistic form rooted in a non-local cultural reference. It examines the social and cultural motivations behind choosing this genre, the representations held by its practitioners, and its relation to cultural identity. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with students and parents at the Central Institute of Music, selected purposively. Analysis shows that practicing Western classical music results from the interaction between family-acquired and educationally shaped dispositions, contributing to a composite musical identity that intersects with, rather than replaces, the original cultural identity, while providing practitioners with a sense of symbolic distinction.

Monitoring and Observing Fire Maps Using Remote Sensing

2026-07-11T23:23:36+00:00

The study aims to monitor and observe fire maps resulting from human activities, specifically waste burning at the sanitary landfill site in Tikrit City within the Shishin neighborhood, for the period from 1 November 2025 to 1 December 2025. The study relied on FIRMS data for detecting thermal hotspots using the VIIRS satellite sensor with a spatial resolution of 375 meters. Air pollution was also monitored through gases such as CO₂, SO₂, NO₂, and HCHO within the study area for the same time period.

The findings indicate that the satellite images recorded noticeable pollution at the burning site, which consequently affected the surrounding area. Smoke plumes extended toward nearby residential neighborhoods due to wind movements. The landfill site represents an environmental weak point prone to recurring incidents if left untreated. The study proposes adopting a continuous monitoring system using remote sensing, enhancing waste-management procedures, and establishing an early-warning protocol to deal with any abnormal thermal activity within the landfill site.

2026-07-11T23:22:32+00:00

This research paper aims to explore the historical development of the written press in Algeria, tracing its evolution from the early colonial period to the time of independence. Throughout this era, Algeria witnessed a significant transformation in journalistic practices, reflecting broader political, cultural, and social changes.

The central problem addressed in this study revolves around understanding how the written press developed over time, based on the distinct features, ideas, and demands that characterized each historical stage.

The study divides this evolution into four key periods, each marked by its own conceptual frameworks, journalistic orientations, and contextual dynamics. By examining these phases, the paper highlights the increasing level of professionalism and political relevance attained by the Algerian press, especially in its role as a vehicle for national awareness, anti-colonial resistance, and the pursuit of independence.

A Geographical Analysis of the Sex and Age Structure of Al-Zubair City for the Period 1997 – 2024

2026-07-11T23:22:07+00:00

Natural demographic characteristics, namely sex and age, are of paramount importance in population studies. Sexual composition divides the population into males and females, revealing the sex ratio and its balance between them, while age composition divides the population These are age groups that may be broad, single, five-year, or ten-year, for both sexes. These types of structures are essential pillars in the study of population behavior, represented by reproductive behavior, mortality, migration, and the effect of this on changing the size and growth of the population, as well as the effect of this behavior on community services and the extent to which the population’s renewed needs are met.

The research examines the number of males and females in the population of Zubair city during the 1997 and 2024 censuses, as well as the sex ratio, which was 65.9% in 1997 compared to 60% in the 2024 census, investigating the underlying reasons for this difference. The age structure section focuses on broad and quintile age groups and the reasons for their variation, in addition to presenting the age-adjusted population index and the dependency ratio indicators The figures reached (3.6, 14.3%) respectively for the 1997 and 2024 censuses, compared to a dependency ratio for young and old people of (63.6, 2.3%) in the 1997 census, compared to (52.5, 7.5%) in the 2024 census.

Why Translate? From the Naivety of the Question to the Depth of Intertextual Engagement

2026-07-11T23:21:50+00:00

Translation is a linguistic, cultural, and epistemic arena mediating between civilizations. Its descriptive modes have always served as a field for methodological inquiry, immersing in complexities to establish rules and references that streamline the handling of intricate texts, regardless of thematic orientation. We then examine the epistemological foundations that treat translation as a cognitive activity within a comparative framework between languages and cultures. Otherness, a vision of contrasting realms of embodiment and abstraction, tests translational proficiency, moving beyond distorted lexical hybridization and literalism toward reformulations rooted in stylistic choices that respect the rules, conventions, and eloquence of the target language. This article studies the relationships between translation and language, translation and culture, and the challenges facing knowledge domains.

The Translation of English Theatre and Its Impact on the Development of Arab Drama

2026-07-11T23:21:32+00:00

The saying, "Give me a theatre, and I will give you a cultured nation," encapsulates a profound wisdom with deep ethical and philosophical dimensions. It suggests from the outset that the future of a people is intrinsically linked to their level of culture. Culture serves as the fertile ground for cultivating science, ethics, and values, making every individual responsible for the intellectual, spiritual, and moral development of their society, each according to their role.

Throughout the ages, theatre has been and remains the undisputed master of the arts, owing to its unique synthesis and integration of various aesthetic forms, including literature, painting, dance, and music. This has established theatre as a symbol of culture, attracting the most prominent international figures from various civilizations.

This academic study is situated within the research field exploring the phenomenon of English theatre, which is renowned for a particularity and aesthetic quality that sets it apart. This has made its plays among the most widely translated works into different world languages, especially Arabic. It is through these translations that the Arab audience was introduced to the phenomenon of theatre. This process cultivated a theatrical culture, creating an appreciative audience and paving the way for the pioneering playwrights who shaped the early contours of Arab theatre.

Translating Algerian Folk Proverbs: A Study in Linguistics and Cultural Universals

2026-07-11T23:21:04+00:00

This research paper aims to spot light on the translation of the Algerian proverbs within culture universals. Since many cultures share the tradition of proverbs, this study attempts to discover some Algerian proverbs, their occasions and their existence in other cultures.

The study reveals the convergence of the mentioned cultures (Arabic, Berber and English) in expressing the different experiences of daily life, including the situations and events that people encounter. While the human experience is universally shared in all its dimensions, the ways of expressing it differ from one culture to another. For example, silence, weeping and joy are shared and understood by all humans, yet expressing them and their related emotions varies and differs from one culture to another.

Meteorological drought and environmental vulnerability in Béchar (Algeria)

2026-07-11T23:20:29+00:00

Climate change poses a growing threat to Algeria, particularly in its arid regions, where it intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as drought. This study aims to analyze the variability of meteorological drought in the Béchar region (southwest Algeria) over the period 1989–2020, with a focus on its environmental impacts. The analysis is based on a long-term climate series and the application of five drought indicators: the rainfall index, the deviation index, the standard deviation method, frequency analysis, and the standardized precipitation index (SPI). The Mann-Kendall statistical test was used to detect significant trends and identify the break year in the rainfall series. The results show a marked downward trend in rainfall starting in 2004, with a water deficit of approximately 85%. Despite some interannual variability, dry years are becoming increasingly frequent and prolonged, while wet periods remain brief and discontinuous. This situation exacerbates local environmental constraints: soil salinization, desertification, loss of vegetation cover, and sand encroachment, with repercussions for irrigated agriculture, which is essential for local populations. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted adaptation strategies and sustainable water resource management in vulnerable Saharan areas.

Reflective Analysis of Pedagogical Practice

2026-07-11T23:20:02+00:00

This study, conducted as part of a reflective practice training course for pre-service French teachers at the Teacher Education College of Setif, is based on the theoretical framework developed by Richard Desjardins, while aiming to design an iterative model tailored to the Algerian educational context. Through a mixed-methods analysis of data collected using a three-phase pedagogical framework (observation, analysis, and synthesis) the study reveals the variety of teaching situations identified by the students and the emergence of a reflective posture. This reflexivity proves essential for the professional development of future teachers and for the ongoing adjustment of their pedagogical practices.

Integrating Sustainable Development Goals in FFL Textbooks

2026-07-11T23:19:42+00:00

Do school textbooks meet the pedagogical requirements related to sustainable development issues? To what extent does the inventory of themes linked to sustainable development in French as a Foreign Language (FFL) textbooks attest to an Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)? This study aims to provide answers to these questions through an inventory and analysis of the progression of ESD-related themes within "second-generation" FFL textbooks, introduced in 2016. The content analysis shows an integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fulfills the reform’s objective: implementing environmental and sustainable development education to shape eco-citizens (Ghouati, 2022).

The association is seen as a mediator and provider of support, contributing to social inclusion and improving living conditions for autistic children

A Critique of Orientalist Reason in Hegel's Philosophy

2026-07-13T00:23:30+00:00

When discussing "Hegel's Orientalism" or Hegel as an Orientalist, we do not limit ourselves to Western perceptions and judgments of the East as a religiously and ethnically "Other," nor to the historical tensions, caution, and hostility between East and West as reflected in traditional Western discourse, which has aimed at religious proselytization and political hegemony for centuries. Rather, it extends to modern studies from a humanities perspective. In recent decades, Arab intellectuals have recognized the importance of studying Orientalism epistemologically, producing research that analyzes its roots and historicity to clarify our epistemological vision and scrutinize its core assumptions. According to Ian Akroun (1997), Fouad Zakaria's epistemological critiques of Orientalist methodology followed Anouar Abdel-Malek's "Orientalism in Crisis" (1983) and Edward Said's "Orientalism" (2003), which marked the onset of these postcolonial critiques. This approach also applies to the writings of Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, and Achille Mbembe, bolstering a comprehensive philosophical critique of Orientalism.

Arabic Language, Identity, and Digital Transformation

2026-07-11T23:19:10+00:00

The swift digital transformation of the contemporary world poses threats as much as challenges to the Arabic language. This article critically examines the interlinked roles of cultural identity, language policy, and digitalization in shaping modern Arabic use on the internet. The article defines three areas for discussion: the relationship between institutional policy and grassroots localization of Arabic in online environments; construction of cultural identity as Arabic in local and transnational spaces; and the transformation of hybrid genres such as Arabizi, which reinterpreted traditional linguistic conventions. It is with a qualitative, interpretive approach that this paper interweaves concepts of sociolinguistics, cultural studies, and digital communications with the aim of developing a conceptual building block for analyzing how Arabic can preserve its linguistic and cultural coherence in response to digital innovation. A structured qualitative literature review design is used for the current study, using specific inclusion criteria that include peer-reviewed works produced from 2015 to 2025, related to Arabic sociolinguistics, as well as digital communication, and having potential theoretical contributions, and uses thematic analysis for synthesis of results. The study suggests that the digital space functions simultaneously as a site of continuity, hybridity, and negotiation for Arabic.

Role of Existenialism in Shaping Human Behaviour

2026-07-11T23:18:52+00:00

The present research applies Kafkaesque philosophy to examine human behaviour in the modern age through the lens of a literary artwork, The Stranger. Modernism became prominent for two contrastive constructions: the poetics of indeterminacy and undecidability as well as nonreferentiality by withholding contextuality. This paper applies Kafka’s philosophy of human existential crisis in the modern age and its quest for finding meaning of the self. The present research has taken a qualitative approach to analyse a literary artwork through the lens of Kafkaesque philosophy. An in-depth literary analysis of The Stranger by Albert Camus was carried out. The analysis of The Stranger reveals insightful understanding of human behaviour and psyche in the modern age. Suffering from disillusionment and inconsistency, the protagonist finds himself lurking in an existentialist anxiety; a sense of panic and worry characterized by continuous questioning of the self “who am I”. The Stranger can be classified as an existentialist novel that embodies the essence of uncertainty, disillusionment and nothingness. This paper can help scholars of human sciences and literary students examine human ideology and behaviour in the contemporary social working.

Common Challenges in Writing Scientific Research in Social and Human Sciences

2026-07-11T23:18:23+00:00

Writing scientific research in the social and human sciences is a fundamental task that contributes to the development of human knowledge, a deeper understanding of societies and cultures, and the progress of peoples. However, researchers in these fields face several challenges that can hinder the achievement of their research goals. These challenges range from difficulties in precisely defining research hypotheses to identifying appropriate methodologies, from data analysis to the objective interpretation of results. Social and human sciences require researchers to integrate theoretical knowledge with critical analysis, which complicates the research process.

Therefore, this article aims to highlight the most prominent challenges and pitfalls that researchers have encountered in different studies. We will also highlight effective strategies to overcome these challenges, thereby improving the quality of scientific research and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in these important areas.

Mechanisms of Political Development in Achieving

2026-07-11T23:18:07+00:00

Many developing countries have been drawing up policies and strategies that would achieve the development of their economies and their people, and reach the status of developed countries. Each of them followed a certain approach, whether socialist or capitalist, including those who understand that mixing the merits of the two models together. But the reproduction of models and experiments and their direct projections is sometimes due to the negativity of the inadequacy and failure to take into account the specificity of each experiment. That requires adapting some aspects in accordance with the local specificity of resources, values, and principles. The Malaysian experience is one of the most important experiences — a global leader in development — as it presented a contemporary development project that combines modernity and Islam, and matches advanced global models.

The Mission of Quranic Teaching in the Algerian Educational System

2026-07-11T23:17:43+00:00

This article aims to highlight the role of Quranic teaching in the Algerian education system as a means of vigilance against the various direct and indirect methods of obliterating national identity, as a vaccine that builds the wall of national and patriotic immunity in young people, and enables them to investigate the issues and problems of their contemporary society by learning from the personalities who devoted themselves to this type of education and succeeded in creating the glory of Algeria and defying all circumstances, such as Sheikh Wortalani, Sheikh Mubarak al-Meili and Abdelkrim al-Mughaili. We also address the most important educational and community institutions active in this field, in particular the National Network.

The Role of Socialisation in Preventing the Phenomenon of Drug Use in Algerian Society

2026-07-11T23:17:30+00:00

This study seeks to shed light on the problem of Narcotic substances use in Algerian society. In recent years, Algeria, like many countries worldwide, has witnessed a substantial increase in the number of individuals using these lethal substances, prompting researchers and those responsible for safeguarding public health and individual well-being to sound the alarm. A particularly striking observation is the alarming spread of this scourge among young people and even children. This has compelled us, as researchers, to develop solutions to protect young people of different ages from this phenomenon and to devise plans and strategies to confront it. Among the most sound preventive strategies are the appropriate socialisation of the child and the provision of a sound psychological, social, physical, and value-based (belief) foundation, enabling the acquisition of a strong personality and offering robust protection against the various temptations to which the individual may be exposed. A descriptive approach was employed in this study, drawing on relevant literature on Narcotic substances uses and recent statistics from the Algerian National Observatory for the Fight against Narcotic substances use. All the results were analysed and contextualised in relation to Algerian society, with particular emphasis placed on the role of socialisation in preventing this phenomenon. The findings of the present study, entitled ", The Role of Socialisation in Preventing the Phenomenon of Drug Use in Algerian Society” indicate that sound socialisation plays a significant role in preventing this scourge. The family, as the first educational nucleus in a child's life, plays a fundamental role in prevention, followed by schools, media, security institutions, religious institutions, and Associations.

Next-Gen Language Teaching

2026-07-11T23:17:10+00:00

In today’s interconnected and globalized society, acquiring a foreign language has become a vital skill that enhances cross-cultural communication, promotes global citizenship, and opens doors to diverse career paths. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has introduced a wide range of innovative tools and platforms that are transforming the landscape of language education. These emerging technologies offer immersive, interactive, and learner-centered experiences that support more effective and personalized language acquisition. Mobile-assisted learning applications grant users flexible, on-the-go access to content, encouraging self-directed and consistent practice. Likewise, online platforms and interactive tools foster collaboration and engagement, motivating learners through real-time feedback and dynamic learning environments. This study aims to explore the impact of these technological innovations on language learning outcomes, examining how they enhance learner motivation, improve language proficiency, and contribute to more engaging and meaningful educational experiences.

Addiction to Information and Communication Technologies as a Response to Frustration in Adolescents

2026-07-11T23:16:54+00:00

This study aims to examine frustration in an adolescent addicted to information and communication technologies (ICTs). The results of the administration of the Rosenzweig Frustration Test (P–F Study) revealed a relatively high level of frustration, manifested through behavioral disturbances in the form of emotional reactivity and outward-directed aggression, with E =15.

These findings indicate poor adaptation to reality, which may be further reinforced by addiction to social networking sites. Such addiction increases adolescent social isolation and intensifies the experience of frustration, which is likely to be repeatedly experienced when the expected psychological gratification, satisfaction, and recognition are not obtained from online platforms. On the contrary, this lack of validation may deepen feelings of devaluation and mistrust, thereby negatively affecting the adolescent’s mental and psychological health as well as behavioral adjustment.

Cognitive Strategies for Effective Translation Teaching

2026-07-10T20:05:43+00:00

Translation is a cognitively demanding activity that requires continuous problem-solving, monitoring, and decision-making under limited cognitive resources. Managing cognitive effort effectively is therefore essential for developing translator competence and for sustaining pedagogical efficiency in university translation classrooms. This article integrates insights from Cognitive Translation Studies, Cognitive Load Theory, and Gile's Effort Models to examine how cognitive effort can be explicitly addressed in translator education. Drawing on qualitative, classroom-based action research in an undergraduate translation program, it presents three pedagogical interventions—task segmentation, scaffolded collaborative work, and guided reflective logging—and analyzes their impact on students' perceived cognitive load, metacognitive awareness, and translation performance. The classroom cases indicate that segmenting tasks reduces intrinsic load, collaborative scaffolding helps redistribute effort and externalize reasoning, and structured reflection fosters germane load and self-regulated learning. The study argues that "cognitive effort management" should be treated as a core learning objective in translation pedagogy, with concrete implications for curriculum design, assessment, teacher training, and technology integration.

Communication rehabilitation in Autism Spectrum Disorder

2026-07-10T20:05:18+00:00

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by enduring challenges in social communication and interaction, typically accompanied by restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Among the various therapeutic interventions, speech and language therapy plays a central role in addressing the diverse communication challenges associated with ASD. This article explodes the principal orthophonic care methods used in the management of individuals with ASD, including language simulation, pragmatic language training, articulation therapy, and AAC.

Furthermore, it examines the most influential therapeutic schools guiding speech-language interventions, such as ABA, TEACCH, DIR/Floortime, and ESDM. By integrating theoretical perspectives and evidence-based practices, the article highlights the need for individualized, multidisciplinary approaches tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

The present study examines also contemporary insights into the etiology of ASD and underscores the pivotal role of early intervention in facilitating communicative development and promoting an improved quality of life.

Cybersecurity Threats in the Higher Education Sector

2026-07-10T20:05:01+00:00

This study aims to identify the most significant threats impacting the higher education sector. As universities transition to digital education, dependence on electronic networks and digital information management has become a core element of the educational and research landscape, making these institutions increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks that target sensitive data and disrupt essential services. Higher education institutions confront complex challenges arising from insufficient cybersecurity awareness and both technical and human vulnerabilities, which can lead to data breaches, loss of trust, and interruptions in educational services. The study emphasizes the critical role of institutional governance, ongoing training, and the establishment of a strong security culture as primary strategies for strengthening cybersecurity and ensuring the continuity of educational and research activities within an open digital environment.

Debunking Patriarchal Discourse in Assia Djebar’s Narrative Children of the New World (1962)

2026-07-10T20:04:26+00:00

A groundbreaking work of interrelated perspectives, Children of the New World (1962) is a novel of insurgency and resistance. Written in a post-colonial context by the Algerian writer Assia Djebar, the novel is feminist and anti-colonial centering women in patriarchal and political resistance. Caught in a time of violent change, the novel gives insights into the complex relations between men and women demonstrating those who cannot help but succumb to their rigid patriarchs and those who refute their pejoration along with the harsh oppression of colonialism. This paper aims at delineating the linguistic defiance used by these women to denounce patriarchal discourse and hence, decry their peripheral position. The findings of this study outline that Algerian women managed to make their voices heard through undoing the pejorative imperial and patriarchal standards.

Educational Practice in Socialization Institutions

2026-07-10T20:04:01+00:00

This study aims to understand the dynamics of integration and conflict within socialization institutions namely, the family, school, and mosque. The study adopted a qualitative methodology, relying on observation and semi-structured interviews conducted with 42 educational actors selected through purposive sampling, with the aim of exploring their representations and perceptions in light of social transformations. The findings revealed a noticeable decline in the role of educational institutions as a result of globalization and the spread of consumerist cultural patterns, particularly among adolescents. The study also shows a growing phenomenon of distrust and weakened adherence to social norms, which profoundly affects educational practices. These findings highlight the need to develop educational strategies that promote institutional cooperation and unify efforts to address emerging challenges.

Electronic Games and the Child's Cognitive Mind

2026-07-10T20:03:27+00:00

Technological advancements have transformed children’s and adolescents’ leisure activities, especially through electronic games. This study examines their impact on cognitive development using major play theories: psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral, social, and physical growth perspectives. Results indicate that while such games may enhance concentration and problem-solving, they also risk psychological disturbances, social isolation, physical impairment, and conflicts with family values. Field observations revealed widespread digital addiction, affecting academic and social outcomes. Recommendations include promoting constructive play, strengthening family communication, implementing regulations, and enhancing school-based awareness programs.

Historical Dimension of Tlemcen from the Islamic Conquest to the Fall of the Zayyanid State (55–962 AH / 676–1554 CE)

2026-07-10T20:03:08+00:00

This study seeks to explore the historical dimension of the city of Tlemcen from the Islamic conquest up to the fall of the Zayyanid dynasty. Tlemcen played a significant role in the Islamic Maghreb, serving as a major administrative center for Muslims in the region since the early stages of the Islamic expansion. Under the rule of the Sulaymanid emirate, the city marked a frontier between them and the Aghlabids, who were governors under the Abbasid Caliphate. Following the collapse of the Sulaymanid emirate, Tlemcen became the focus of a prolonged conflict between the Umayyads and Fatimids that lasted for over a century, until it ultimately came under Almoravid control. During this period, Tlemcen maintained its importance as a strategic administrative hub, a role it continued to fulfill under the Almohads. The city also witnessed considerable historical development during the rule of the Zayyanids:

Legal System for Cultural Security

2026-07-10T20:02:24+00:00

The cultural identity in general and especially the Arabic one, are considered as the most important topics targeted by the globalized communication system bearing cultural concepts for the motherland in a form of one of the new phases of penetration of countries security systems to the contrary of what has been known before where any penetration was made by use of the material force. However, we consider that use of the soft force in penetrating countries security systems is more dangerous and devastating because, firstly it unbalances the social tenacity and homogeneity which is considered as the basis of unity of any nation and secondly it spreads out non communalism and alienation of national personality constants such as language, religion and history.

Patriarchy in the Name of God

2026-07-10T20:02:06+00:00

This article examines the intersection of religious fanaticism and patriarchal hegemony in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, arguing that fanatical Christianity operates as an ideological mechanism that legitimizes male authority and gendered violence within the domestic sphere. Drawing on Gramscian notions of hegemony alongside feminist and postcolonial theory, the study demonstrates how Eugene Achike’s rigid Catholicism transcends personal belief to become a system of moral absolutism that disciplines female bodies, silences dissent, and normalizes suffering as spiritual duty. Through close textual analysis, the article explores the psychological and physical victimization of Kambili and Beatrice, highlighting how fear, guilt, and religious dogma sustain patriarchal consent. At the same time, the paper foregrounds Adichie’s critique of religious authoritarianism by examining alternative spaces of faith and resistance embodied by Aunty Ifeoma and Beatrice’s ultimate act of rebellion. The study concludes that Purple Hibiscus exposes religious fanaticism as a culturally sanctioned form of patriarchal violence while affirming female agency through the reimagining of faith, voice, and resistance in postcolonial Nigerian society.

The Honor Paradigm and the Paternal Struggle in Zulekha Saudi's Play 'Gallantry and Treachery

2026-07-10T20:01:47+00:00

This article examines the Algerian play Chivalry and Betrayal by writer Zlikha Al-Saoudi as a literary text that engages with cultural and authoritative structures through a dramatic representation of the conflict between the female self and the patriarchal system. The analysis focuses on the rhetorical discourse of the character "Nabila" and her relationships with both her father and the Qur'an teacher, who represent religious and social patriarchal authority in the Algerian context.

The study adopts a dual approach that combines rhetoric and pragmatic discourse analysis to uncover the discursive strategies employed by Nabila in negotiating with structures of authority, such as insinuation, rebellion, and compliance. It also seeks to deconstruct the dynamics of interaction between characters from a pragmatic perspective that highlights the social and cultural dimensions shaping and directing the discourse.
This reading reveals how theatrical discourse reproduces gendered power, exposing the tension between language and authority within a space where moral, religious, and social values intersect.

2026-07-10T20:01:22+00:00

The colonial policy pursued by France since the beginning of the occupation to achieve its goals is clearly evident, as is the national resistance it encountered under the leadership of political figures, including Hamdan Khoja, who lived during the late Ottoman rule and the early years of the French occupation. He was distinguished by his political acumen. Hence, this research paper aims to highlight the importance of the subject, as Hamdan Khoja contributed to documenting the Algerian cause. He was one of the most prominent nationalist leaders in Algerian history and a reformist in the Islamic world. The following question can be posed: What was Hamdan Khoja's political and intellectual contribution to defining the national cause?

Visual Semiotics in Digital Restaurant Marketing

2026-07-10T20:00:53+00:00

This study examines the semiotic dimensions of visual communication in digital restaurant marketing within the Algerian context. Its primary objective is to analyze how food images construct meaning, shape digital food identities, and influence consumer perception. The originality of the research lies in its comparative focus on individual influencers and institutional restaurant branding, an area that remains underexplored in Algerian media studies.
Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative descriptive–analytical approach grounded in visual semiotics, drawing on the theoretical contributions of Barthes, Floch, and Kress and van Leeuwen. A purposeful sample of three cases—Hicham Cook, Amina Cuisine, and El Fakhama Restaurant—was analyzed based on visual composition, symbolic meaning, and persuasive function.

The findings reveal that digital food imagery operates as a structured symbolic discourse. Influencer-driven content emphasizes proximity and emotional engagement, while institutional branding relies on aesthetic control and symbolic distinction. The study highlights the central role of visual semiotics in shaping food-related perceptions and consumer behavior in Algeria.
