Justice as World-Making: Creative Citizenship in H. Arendt
This essay proposes a novel interpretation of Hannah Arendt’s political theory as a crucial contribution to a post-metaphysical, creative conception of justice and citizenship. It argues that Arendt’s phenomenology of plurality, amor mundi, and critical thinking can be read under the prism of world-making. Against both ideal abstraction and empirical cynicism, the essay reconstructs the modern ideal of deliberative participatory democracy as a dynamic equilibrium between ontological shared power of beginning (i.e., freedom), interhuman trust, and communicative openness. It further situates this Arendtian model within the republican and cosmopolitan traditions, drawing on Kant’s Perpetual Peace and contemporary political theories that defend fostering democratic innovation and democratic cosmopolitanism under conditions of global interdependence, authoritarian populism, digital fragmentation, and ecological crisis. The essay concludes that the “cosmopolitan constitution” envisioned by Kant and renewed by Arendt remains humanity’s most demanding and hopeful vocation: the continuous creation of a habitable world for freedom.

From Tabula Rasa to Inductive Bias: Reframing Locke's Problem in the Age of Generative AI
Large language models (LLMs) often appear to vindicate a radical empiricist picture: train on vast corpora of experience-like text, and capacities emerge without explicit symbolic rules. Yet contemporary machine learning research repeatedly emphasizes that what is learned, how quickly it is learned, and how well it generalizes depend crucially on prior constraints: architectural structure, training objectives, optimization dynamics, and representational bottlenecks. These constraints constitute inductive biases in a precise, technical sense. This paper develops a philosophical argument that uses LLMs as a case study to reassess the classical tabula rasa thesis associated with Locke and its descendants. I defend two claims. First, even the most “data-driven” generative models are saturated with structural priors that make learning possible at scale; thus, their success cannot be straightforwardly read as a triumph of unstructured empiricism. Second, once this is appreciated, the rhetorical appeal of a ``blank slate'' conception of the infant mind weakens further: if artificial systems trained on orders of magnitude more linguistic input than any child still require rich inductive biases, it is implausible that human cognition begins wholly unstructured. I then show how contemporary debates about whether LLMs “understand” language recapitulate the older dispute about whether experience alone can generate semantics and conceptual structure. The upshot is a more balanced, non-caricatured empiricism: experience matters, but explanation must explicitly account for the learning system's prior structure.
The privilege of guardianship rights in Islamic jurisprudence
This research addresses the "Privilege of Guardianship in Islamic Jurisprudence." Islamic law grants guardians the authority to manage the affairs of those under their guardianship, whether over their person or property, within legal and Sharia-compliant frameworks aimed at protecting the ward. This right is characterized by its privileged nature, granting its holder priority over all other rights. The guardian does not possess a financial right to it, but rather a moral authority. The subject matter of this right is related to the individual's personal obligations (or morals), without being limited to them. Thus, the privileged right is established based on a protected interest. This research seeks to establish this privileged right and its subject matter, clarifying the priority in the right of guardianship in its original form, and identifying those who share this privilege on behalf of others when there are multiple guardians. The research concludes that the guardian's privilege is a legitimate right related to the individual's personal obligations (or morals), without being limited to them. This privileged right is established based on a protected interest for the well-being of the ward. Furthermore, regulating the guardian's privileges is a legitimate and legal necessity, representing a means to ensure the care of those under guardianship and the preservation of their interests, thus fulfilling the reason for establishing this right.
Employing the Life of Christ in Shaping the Sanctity of al-Husayn ibn ʿAlī: A Comparative Study within Shi‘a Heritage
This research compares the figures of Jesus Christ and al-Husayn ibn ʿAlī in light of Shiʿa sources, premised on the notion that Shiʿa tradition engages with the Islamic biography of Christ to elevate the status of al-Husayn and the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet’s family). The study analyzes this intersection through several key themes. It begins by tracing the noble lineage of each figure, showing how the divine selection of the family of Imran parallels the elevated status of the Ahl al-Bayt. It then examines their mothers—Mary, daughter of Imran, and Fatima al-Zahra—demonstrating how the virtues of Mary are invoked to reinforce the sanctity of Fatima. Next, the study considers the prophecies surrounding their births and the miraculous nature of these births, highlighting their signs of exceptional status.The research also discusses the extraordinary abilities and miracles attributed to both figures, including healing and esoteric knowledge, and compares their foreknowledge of their destinies and the circumstances of their deaths, particularly the details of their thirst and ultimate sacrifice.The study concludes that Shiʿa tradition has deliberately shaped the character of al-Husayn with traits analogous to those of Christ, thereby reinforcing his role as a redeemer and savior.
Mapping the Erased: Narrative, Form, and Counter-History in Palestine – 1
This article analyzes Palestine – 1: Stories from the Eve of the Nakba (Comma Press, 2025) as a formally coherent counter-archive that revisits 1948 through speculative, fantastical, and non-realist narrative strategies. Conceived as a prequel to Palestine + 100, the anthology reverses futurist projection in order to confront catastrophe “from the eve” of the Nakba, moving across villages, towns, and neighborhoods whose naming operates as an ethical act of resistance to erasure. Building on debates about how extreme violence fractures time, memory, and meaning, the article argues that the collection’s non-realism—ghosts, doubles, temporal fractures, speaking landscapes—functions not as aesthetic ornament but as a necessary narrative technology for an unfinished historical condition. The anthology’s ordering is read as a “counter-map,” where geography replaces chronology and recurrence replaces linear progression, generating unity without stylistic uniformity. Situating the collection within Palestinian narrative lineages (Kanafani, Habibi, Darwish) and postcolonial critiques of imperial “imaginative geographies,” the article shows how Palestine – 1 mobilizes form to resist closure and to restore erased places to cultural memory. Ultimately, the anthology demonstrates that non-realism can operate as historical method: a way of narrating dispossession not as concluded past but as an ongoing structure organizing Palestinian time and space.

Updating Communicative Events: From Qur'anic Discourse To Didactic Discourse
Our goal is to construct speech acts and develop communicative competence in the learner. The problem here is: How can a preschool child transform the values in the Quranic text into speech acts? we observed some visions that describe the teaching of the Quranic text. We concluded that literary problems must be solved in a linguistic environment based on the speech act derived from the Quranic text. To this end, we proposed some applications in an educational project aimed at constructing speech acts and performing them linguistically.
Ecological Inscription and Material Memory: Ecofeminist Philosophy and the Afterlife of Slavery in Morrison and Butler
Drawing on ecofeminist philosophy, Black feminist ecologies, and posthuman critiques of instrumental reason, this article argues that Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred (1979) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987) develop an environmental ethics of memory: they figure landscape, water, and the more-than-human world as archives that document slavery’s ongoing material and affective residues. Rather than treating “nature” as a neutral framework, the novels present ecological spaces as controversial venues where racial capitalism and patriarchal authority organize extraction, bodily vulnerability, and the policing of kinship. I show how both texts convert ecological imagery into a philosophical critique of domination: (1) they expose how colonial regimes render Black bodies and nonhuman life fungible; (2) they model “rememory” and temporal rupture as forms of testimony that resist epistemic erasure; and (3) they reframe care, survival, and motherhood as ecological relations shaped by coercion yet capable of counter-knowledge. Methodologically, the essay combines concept-building with close reading, using ecofeminist and critical race structures to track how material environments mediate trauma, agency, and ethical responsibility. By linking narrative form to environmental thought, the article contributes to contemporary debates in feminist environmental ethics on justice, memory, and the afterlives of colonial violence, casting testimony as ecological counter-knowledge.
From Suspicion to Verdict: Evidence Governance in Colonial Witchcraft Prosecutions
Margaret Jacobs’s letter of 3 January 1693 (preserved in Robert Calef’s later compilation) captures the uncertainty and coercive pressures confronting the accused during New England’s witchcraft crisis. This article reframes colonial witchcraft prosecution as an inquiry into the philosophy of evidence and institutional rationality: how communities under threat interpret misfortune as actionable claims, and how legal procedures stabilize suspicion into verdicts. Moving beyond Salem-centered scholarship that treats 1692 as paradigmatic, the article examines a wider colonial landscape and argues that witchcraft functioned as a gendered explanatory idiom through which illness, adversity, conflict, and misfortune were moralized and attributed to supernatural agency. While accusations disproportionately targeted women and proceedings often relied on spectral claims and other unstable proof-forms, prosecutions unfolded within distinct provincial legal frameworks. Evidentiary standards, procedural pathways, institutional filtering, and outcomes diverged across colonies and decades, as local institutions mediated wider Atlantic legal and theological currents in determining credibility and admissibility. Bringing less-studied catalysts—fortune-telling and “cunning” practices—into the same analytic frame as war, political instability, clerical influence, and Puritan discipline, the article shows that what mattered was not belief in the abstract but the governance of credibility: whose testimony counted, which inferences were permitted, and how uncertainty was managed (or exploited) as juridical fact.
Sheikh Ahmad Tijani al-Tamassini and the endorsement of Mufdi Zakaria in West Africa (1966-1967): A study in archival documents
تتناول هذه الدراسة رحلة الشاعر الجزائري مفدي زكريا إلى غرب إفريقيا خلال سنتي 1966–1967، من خلال تحليل مجموعة من الوثائق الأرشيفية، ولا سيما المراسلات المتبادلة بينه وبين الشيخ أحمد التجاني التماسيني. وتهدف إلى إبراز الدور الذي لعبته التزكية الصوفية في تسهيل اندماج مفدي زكريا داخل شبكات الطريقة التجانية، بما أتاح له النفاذ إلى كبار علمائها ومسؤوليها المحليين، والمساهمة في تنشيط علاقات ثقافية وتجارية عابرة للمجال المغاربي – الإفريقي. وتكمن أهمية الدراسة في تسليط الضوء على بعد حضاري ظل مهمشا في الكتابات التاريخية، يتمثل في تداخل الأبعاد الروحية والثقافية والتجارية في فضاء غرب إفريقيا بعد الاستقلال. كما تطرح الدراسة الإشكالية التالية: إلى أي مدى أسهمت تزكية الشيخ أحمد التجاني في إنجاح رحلة مفدي زكريا وتعزيز شبكة العلاقات المغاربية – الإفريقية، وما الذي تكشفه هذه التجربة عن آليات التواصل والتفاعل بين الروحانية والثقافة والاقتصاد في غرب إفريقيا خلال مرحلة ما بعد الاستقلال؟ الكلمات
Environmental Sustainability in Focus: Evaluating Nigerian Federal Universities’ Mission and Vision Statements on Climate Change Initiatives
As the world continues to be impacted by human activity, environmental and sustainability concerns have gained prominence in international discourse. Through an analysis of their mission and vision statements, this study evaluates the dedication of Nigerian government institutions to environmental and climate change initiatives. The strategy documents of the organization explain its current objectives and future policy options. Using a census approach, the study examined the mission and vision statements of each of the 62 federal universities in Nigeria that have been designated by the National Universities Commission (NUC). Data were collected between January and August 2024 via official university websites and analyzed using MAXQDA Analytics Pro; the research results show that 55 out of 62 institutions which represent 89 percent of the total institutions have public access to their institutional purpose and vision statements although their dedication to environmental sustainability remains at a very low level. The four universities which constitute 7.27 percent of the total universities in Nigeria have established climate change-related terms as explicit components of their academic programs. Thematic analysis indicated that most institutions prioritize teaching-training and scientific research, with a strong focus on public interest themes. The institution faces a substantial execution flaw because its educational programs for environmental-conscious youth exist only in vision statements yet are missing from its mission statements which demonstrates that environmental protection is treated as a future objective instead of an active requirement. The study found that two areas of the country which experience extreme environmental damage through oil extraction and drought conditions continue to show low levels of institutional climate change research activities.
How Does Antibiotic Misuse Contribute to Rise of Antimicrobial Resistance
The discovery and mass production of antibiotics was a paradigm shift in the field of medicine, turning once- disastrous diseases into a condition that could be treated successfully. These antibiotic drugs not only became the foundation of healthcare in the modern era, but the achievement of complex medical procedures, such as organ transplants, chemotherapy, and major surgery, all of which are based on the capability of prevention and control of bacterial infections, became possible. Nevertheless, this utopian vision of medicine is seriously jeopardized. It is the same strong force of evolution that created life on the earth and is now making these life-saving drugs useless. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become one of the most urgent global public health issues of the 21st century. Although AMR is a multi-factorial, multi-dimensional phenomenon with different causes in the human, animal, and environmental domains, the main cause is the use and excessive use of antibiotics. In this paper, it will be argued that the overuse or incorrect use of antibiotics function as a potent selective pressure causing the evolution and spread of resistant bacteria, the very basis of modern medicine, and thus requiring immediate, global action.
Charles Foucault and his efforts in Tamahag language documentation 1858-1916
Charles Foucault is regarded as one of the most important scholars to have studied the Touareg language, and is the only one to have compiled a dictionary containing daily Touareg vocabulary, having lived amongst the Touareg in the Algerian Sahara, mingled with the local population and learnt Tamahag vocabulary over a period of ten years – the time he spent in the Hoggar region from 1905 to 1916. The Tamahag dictionary– the Ahaggar dialect – is the only reference preserving the written Tuareg language for posterity. Comprising four volumes, it spans over 3,000 pages and contains more than ten thousand words, making it the most important resource for learning the Tuareg language, alongside other works related to Tuareg language and culture. For this reason, in this article I shall attempt to discuss Charles Foucauldo’s career and his contributions to the study of Tamahag vocabulary.
From ‘Lex Iniusta’ to ‘Unmündigkeit’: The School of Salamanca, Kant’s Practical Philosophy, and the Political Production of Monetary Tutelage
This article argues that state-issued fiat money constitutes a form of Unmündigkeit (minority, immaturity) in Kant’s precise technical sense, and that this thesis has a direct antecedent in the School of Salamanca. We show that the Salamantine doctrine of monetary debasement as larceny and the right of resistance grounded in lex iniusta non est lex anticipate, in natural-law vocabulary, the same problem Kant reformulates in terms of practical reason. We further argue, drawing on Kant’s distinction between Unmündigkeit (1784) and Selbständigkeit (MS, AA 6:314), and on the German Kantian tradition (Höffe, Kersting, Siep, Henrich, Adorno), that the monetary monopoly violates categorical requirements of the Rechtslehre and destroys the epistemic infrastructure of rational self-governance. Three necessary conditions of monetary legitimacy are derived.
Deconstructing COVID: The Rise of an Authoritarian State
Deconstruction purports to analyze language, identify its instabilities, and expose authoritarian power relationships. In practice, it often does the opposite: it creates instability, obscures power relationships, and promotes authoritarianism. This was made clear by the COVID phenomenon, which was driven by an ‘official public health narrative’ that used deconstructive language to promote a nascent authoritarian state. This paper will deconstruct the COVID narrative to expose the rise of a ‘uniparty’ authoritarian state that spans traditional political parties.
The Effectiveness of Educational Communication Between Active Individuals in the Physical and Sports Education Session
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of educational communication between active individuals in the physical and sports education session in secondary education, by identifying the types of educational communication and the communication skills relied upon by physical education teachers and their impact on the session. In this research, the questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection, and the descriptive method was adopted due to its suitability to the subject. The research sample consisted of physical education teachers in secondary education.
Listening and its Impact on the Educational Process Sections of Preschool Education in Mosques and Quranic Schools a descriptive and analytical study – Setif Province as a model
Education in mosques, Quranic schools, traditional Quranic schools, and various associations plays a vital role in the intellectual life of society. The education of young children has also been a part of this educational process. Mosques, Quranic schools, and associations have provided material and human resources to ensure the success of education within them, all thanks to the dedicated efforts of those in charge. This is all achieved through the specific efforts of those who run these institutions. In this study, I examined the category of preschool children taught in mosques and Quranic schools. This study is based on my own experience, as I taught this category for five academic years, serving as both teacher and supervisor. This study, covering the final academic year, highlights the importance of listening skills in acquiring knowledge. Knowledge, and that it is the basic pillar in the educational process, especially in its beginnings.
Psychological Burnout and Its Relationship to Academic Stress Among Working Students
This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological burnout and academic stress among working students at certain faculties of the University of Constantine 2. It also sought to identify differences in the sample's scores on psychological burnout and academic stress according to various study variables, including gender and academic major. A descriptive correlational approach was adopted. The sample included 172 male and female students who were randomly selected. We used two research instruments : the Psychological Burnout Questionnaire and the Academic Stress Questionnaire. To analyze the results, the arithmetic mean and the t-test were used to determine differences between two independent samples, and the correlation coefficient was used to identify the relationship between psychological burnout and academic stress. The study found a correlation between psychological burnout and academic stress, statistically significant differences in the sample’s psychological burnout scores based on gender (in favor of females), and no statistically significant differences in functional stress among students at the University of Constantine 2 based on academic major.
The Linguistic Characteristics of Language Use Among Immigrants from Ghazaouet to Tlemcen
This present study is part of one of the fields of sociolinguistics; it is interested in the fact of bilingualism linked to immigration. Indeed, knowledge of both languages; French and dialectal Arabic; remains a natural need because that of the host country is a necessity for social, cultural and above all professional integration, on the other hand, dialectal Arabic designates Ghazaouet as a refuge for family meetings, holidays, parties, etc. . Code switching and borrowing are assimilated to social and identity processes and mark the language practices of immigrants. Finally, the duality of space creates an original bilingual identity that appears in the communication of immigrants in the Ghazaouet region in Tlemcen.
From the Banu Abd al-Wadi State to the Zayyanid State: A Study of Major Transformations and Developments
The present work tackles the most significant political developments and transformations experienced by the Banu Abd al-Wad (Zayyanid) state in the Central Maghreb during two distinct periods: The period of the Abd al-Wadid State; this state was known as such from its founding in 633AH/1236CE, until the end of the reign of Sultan Abu Sa'id ibn Abd al-Rahman in 753AH/1352CE. Zayyanid State, known by its founder Abu Hammu Musa II after he had recovered the throne of this state in 760AH/1358 CE, until its fall in 962 AH/1554 CE during the reign of Sultan Al-Hasan ibn Abd Allah II. These developments and transformations generally affected most of the political and civilizational aspects. These include the systems and nature of governance, methods of administrative management, the organization of the army, the economic system as well as the tribal system within the state.
Kantian Cosmopolitan Vision and Contemporary Competencies in the University Context: Addressing Poverty and Inequality
In the current context of globalization and profound socio-economic inequalities, the internationalization of higher education emerges as a crucial tool for addressing these challenges. This paper connects Immanuel Kant’s cosmopolitan vision with the role of universities in countries experiencing high levels of poverty and inequality. It explores how higher education can act as a vehicle for social transformation, promoting justice, equality, and human dignity globally. Kant’s philosophy asserts that all human beings are equal in dignity and rights, suggesting that individuals should be treated as members of a global community. This vision supports a federation of democratic nations committed to peaceful conflict resolution and respect for citizens’ rights, aligning with human rights principles. Contemporary theorists like Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth integrate social justice and equality into this framework. The internationalization of higher education should promote a borderless knowledge framework, enhancing educational quality while addressing structural challenges in research, teaching, and community service. Combining Kant’s vision with Nussbaum and Sen’s capabilities approach, this paper highlights how universities can combat poverty and inequality and underscores internationalization as essential for forming global citizens committed to social justice and cooperation.

Ontological and Epistemological Foundations of Qualitative Research: Implications for Social Science Inquiry
Qualitative research is widely used in the social sciences to explore human experiences, meanings, and social processes. Despite its widespread application, researchers sometimes employ qualitative methods without fully considering the philosophical assumptions that underpin them. Understanding these assumptions is essential because they shape how reality is conceptualised, how knowledge is produced, and how research is conducted. This article examines the ontological and epistemological foundations of qualitative research and explains how these foundations influence research design and methodological choices in social science inquiry. Ontology refers to assumptions about the nature of reality and what can be known about the social world. In qualitative research, reality is commonly understood as multiple, socially constructed, and shaped through human interaction and context. Epistemology focuses on the nature of knowledge and the processes through which knowledge about the social world is generated. Within interpretivist and constructivist traditions, knowledge is viewed as emerging from the interaction between the researcher and participants rather than as an objective, independent truth. By clarifying these philosophical foundations, the article highlights the importance of aligning research paradigms, methodological approaches, and analytical strategies in qualitative studies. A clear understanding of ontological and epistemological assumptions enables researchers to design coherent qualitative research and strengthens the methodological rigour of social science inquiry.

Managing Medical Information and Linking it to Laboratory Results in Modern Hospitals
Our modern hospitals generate vast amounts of information on a daily basis. Some of this data includes medical history, physician notes, medications, lab reports, radiology images, billing information, and treatment plans. Efficiently managing this information is critical since healthcare professionals need accurate data to make informed decisions for patient care. These paper-based systems were formerly disorganized, slow, and error-prone in the hospitals. But advances in healthcare technology have revolutionized the way that a hospital deals with medical information and ties it in with laboratory data. Hospitals have been implementing digital systems in the present times, which collect, store, manage, and communicate patient information such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and Laboratory Information Systems (LIS). These systems will facilitate improved collaboration amongst healthcare service providers, reduce medical conflicts, speed up the diagnosis process, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. The link between laboratory results and medical records can then allow doctors and nurses to have the information on their fingertips and make faster, more accurate treatment decisions. Therefore, the incorporation of medical information and laboratory systems has turned into one of the most vital advancements to modern-day healthcare.
Poetic Representation in the Diwan of Emir Abdelkader al-Jazairi
This study examines the representations in the texts of the Diwan of Emir Abdelkader from a semiotic perspective in order to reveal their symbolic and semantic dimensions. It demonstrates how spiritual and Sufi representations reflect the dialectical relationship between human beings, souls, and the cosmos. The research also highlights human and ethical representations that connect positive and negative values. To this end, the study employs semiotic analytical tools such as signifiers and signifieds, semantic fields, binary oppositions, pragmatic context and semantic shifts (or semantic deviations) to understand the different levels of meaning. This approach reveals ethical, spiritual, national and human connotations. Furthermore, it clarifies the role of poetic imagery in constructing the poetic ‘self’ (the ‘I’) and in rendering the personal experiential dimension. Overall, the study confirms the importance of semiotic analysis for interpreting poetic texts in all their dimensions.
Neuro-pedagogy and the Development of the Educational System: A Scientific Approach Bridging Neurolinguistics and Educational Sciences
This work seeks to highlight neuro-pedagogy as an interdisciplinary approach grounded in neurolinguistics, neuroscience, and educational sciences, with the aim of reconstructing educational practice on the basis of a scientific understanding of the learning brain. The theoretical section clarifies the nature of this emerging field and distinguishes it from quasi-scientific discourses, while emphasizing its role in bridging the gap between the laboratory and classroom practices. It also presents key brain mechanisms relevant to learning—such as neuroplasticity, memory systems, attentional dynamics, the function of emotion, the importance of multisensory processing, and individual differences—as foundational principles for redesigning learning situations. The applied section focuses on linguistic learning difficulties, particularly dyslexia, dysgraphia, and speech and language disorders, from a neuro‑linguistic perspective that interprets them as differences in processing patterns rather than mere “low achievement.” In this context, early identification and brain-based intervention are assigned a central place, through simple yet sensitive diagnostic protocols and targeted classroom support strategies. The work further underscores the centrality of teachers’ training in educational neuroscience and a culture of error as a prerequisite for the effectiveness of any project aiming to integrate the neural dimension into educational policies. It concludes that reforming the educational system requires an epistemological shift from a pedagogy of content to a pedagogy of the learning brain, thereby ensuring deeper learning and a more inclusive, equitable, and effective school.
¿Patrón O Azar? Las Muertes Y Desapariciones De Científicos Con Acceso A Secretos De Estado En Ee.Uu. Análisis Histórico-Contextual: 1947–2026
This article systematically documents and analyzes the deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists, engineers, and military personnel with classified access in nuclear, aerospace, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP/FANI) research, recorded between 2022 and 2026. The phenomenon is historically contextualized from 1947, examining precedents in Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, as well as individual cases documented between 1947 and 2016. The active FBI investigation, confirmed on April 21, 2026, encompasses at least twelve cases. A key analytical finding is the direct, documented professional link between two of the missing: JPL/NASA materials engineer Monica Reza — inventor of the Mondaloy superalloy used in reusable military and commercial rockets — and retired General William Neil McCasland, who oversaw the Air Force program that funded Reza’s research. This connection was formally acknowledged in the House Oversight Committee’s letter to federal agencies. From a statistical perspective, analysis published in Scientific American indicates that, given approximately 70,000 people employed in nuclear-related fields, roughly 50 disappearances per year would be statistically expected within that population. This suggests the observed cluster may fall within the expected statistical range, although the professional seniority and security profiles of those involved justify continued institutional investigation.

The Role of Religious Reference Frameworks in the Upbringing of Arab Child in the Context of Digital Transformation: Toward an Educational Approach Balancing Authenticity and modernity
Digital transformation is one of the most significant contemporary challenges facing educational systems, given the profound changes it has introduced to sources of knowledge, modes of learning and patterns of cultural and social interaction. This challenge is particularly acute in Arab educational contexts, where religious and value-based reference frameworks are deeply rooted and form the foundation for shaping children’s identity and moral development. This reality necessitates an in-depth examination of the role of these frameworks in the context of accelerating digital transformation. In light of this, the study examines the impact of religious and value-based reference frameworks on the educational identity of Arab children, particularly in the context of their extensive exposure to digital media and the cognitive and behavioural influences associated with it. The study is guided by the following central research question: To what extent can religious reference frameworks contribute to adapting Arab education to the requirements of the digital age without compromising its authentic values and principles? The study's adoption of a descriptive-analytical approach is for the purpose of addressing this question. This approach is based on a critical review of educational literature, an analysis of the Arab educational landscape, and an examination of the impact of digital transformation on educational realities. The findings emphasise the importance of using religious reference frameworks to shape the value system of Arab children, despite the challenges posed by the open digital environment. The findings further highlight the need to restructure educational practices to allow for the effective integration of technology while remaining consistent with cultural and value-based particularities. Accordingly, the study recommends developing digital educational policies based on religious reference frameworks, strengthening family and educational awareness, and producing purposeful digital content that supports the formation of identity and moral values within an interactive educational environment
Humorous Digital Content and its Impact on the Formation of Social Values among Algerian Youth A Survey Study on a Sample of Communication Students at the University of Mostaganem
This study examines the impact of satirical digital content on the social values of Algerian youth through a field study conducted on a sample of students from the University of Mostaganem, the study was based on a general research problem that sought to identify the effect of satirical digital content on young people’s social values. To achieve this objective, the descriptive survey method was adopted, and a questionnaire was used as the main research instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to a sample consisting of 72 male and female students specializing in Information and Communication Sciences. The findings revealed that the majority of young people consider satirical digital content to be a double-edged sword; however, it tends more toward negative influence when it is exaggerated or lacks awareness and purpose. The study also demonstrated a growing awareness among participants regarding the importance of digital literacy and the ability to distinguish between satire and mere mockery that undermines social and moral values.
Language and the Experience of Rupture in Contemporary Philosophical Thought
This research addresses the central problematic of the philosophy of language within the Philosophy of Difference, as represented in the philosophical theses of Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault. The study seeks to demonstrate how language has shifted from being a mere representational tool or a "mold" for conveying meaning (according to classical and modern perspectives) to becoming an "abstract machine" and an ontological agent that contributes to the formation and openness of meaning. The research emphasizes that "the other language" or creative writing is not merely a foreign tongue distinct from the mother tongue; rather, it is a "linguistic exile" in which the creator lives outside the established systems of signs and significations. By examining Foucault’s clinical method, Derrida’s grammatological dimension, and Deleuze’s conception of style as an epistemological wager, the research concludes that contemporary philosophy has replaced the search for "fixed truth" with the pursuit of the "secret" through style. Style, in this context, is not a rhetorical ornament; it is an existential strategy aimed at destabilizing linguistic structures, opening up to the "outside," and generating a new language that allows thought to rejuvenate itself and explore the possibilities of difference in opposition to transcendent systems of identity.
Energy Transition Pressures and Supply Chain Sustainability: Evidence from Corporate Reports in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Sector
Introduction: The global energy sector is undergoing a social and technical transformation which forces oil and gas companies to change their methods for Sustainable Supply Chain Management. The research investigates how international and Nigerian oil and gas companies handle energy transition challenges while maintaining their sustainability reporting requirements. The research study demonstrates how people talk about transitions but their real-world applications of sustainable supply chain management show different results. The research demonstrates how supply chain operations respond to unconventional energy sources together with renewable energy sources during periods of low-carbon transition. Methods: The research analyzes corporate disclosures from sixteen selected companies through a comparative content analysis method. The researchers created four company groups which included Global Majors, Indigenous Nigerian Majors, National Champions and Downstream Leaders. The research investigates energy transition discourse through Legitimacy Theory and the Sociotechnical Transition Framework by assessing its extent and nature and the energy types that receive long-term resilience priorities and the resulting effects on supply and production and logistics management. Findings: The research reveals that organizations face two primary challenges which include their operational performance problems and their implementation of multiple decarbonization strategies. Global Majors (e.g., Shell, Eni, TotalEnergies) are pursuing a radical "regime shift" toward carbon-neutral niches such as hydrogen and offshore wind, supported by sophisticated digital ESG auditing of "Scope 3" emissions. The Indigenous Nigerian companies (e.g., Seplat, Aradel, NNPC Ltd) which follow a "regime optimization" strategy use the "Gas-to-Power" system to meet international environmental standards while ensuring their domestic energy supply and "Africapitalism" goals. The industry considers Production Management activities which include ending routine flaring and fluid recycling to be essential for all operations while Logistics Management remains the most under-reported domain across the industry. Originality: The study establishes that Nigerian emerging economies achieve resilience through their existing fossil fuel infrastructure "greening" process instead of implementing immediate renewable resource diversification. The research findings about policy development help establish regional ESG standards which create better supply chain circularity between the Global South countries.
Comparative Effects of Natural and Added Sugars on Children's Dental Health
Dental caries remains one of the most common chronic diseases affecting children worldwide, despite improvements in oral healthcare and preventive dentistry. Dietary sugar consumption is a major contributor to tooth decay. However, not all sugars are consumed in the same way or under the same conditions. Natural sugars, found in foods like fruits and milk, differ from added sugars that are mixed into foods and drinks during processing or preparation. This difference has sparked interest among researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers looking to enhance children's oral health. This paper examines the effects of natural and added sugars on children's dental health by reviewing current scientific evidence related to their role in the development of dental caries. The paper discusses the biological processes that link sugars to tooth decay, evaluates dietary patterns and food matrices, and looks at factors that affect the relationship between sugar consumption and oral health. Evidence shows that while both natural and added sugars can lead to dental caries, added sugars pose a greater risk due to their concentration, frequency of consumption, and common presence in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages. Natural sugars found in whole foods generally carry less risk due to the protective effects of fiber, water, and essential nutrients. The findings underline the need to cut back on added sugar while promoting healthy dietary habits that benefit both oral and overall health in children.
The Contribution of Ottoman Rulers in Algeria to Cultural Endowments (Waqf)
This study examines the pivotal role of waqf (religious endowments) as the primary guarantor of the continuity of education and culture in Ottoman Algeria. In the absence of a centralized, state-funded education system, waqf served as a sustainable social and economic engine, supporting a vast network of kuttabs (traditional Quranic schools), madrasas (schools), and libraries. This study aims to highlight the individual contributions of Ottoman rulers in Algeria, particularly during the Dey period, to educational and cultural endowments, and the extent to which these contributed to the revival of intellectual centers in Ottoman Algeria. By documenting the endowments of Ottoman rulers in Algeria in these areas, the study reveals how Algeria maintained high literacy rates, a fact that impressed contemporary European travelers. This demonstrates that waqf was not merely a charitable act, but rather a strategic institutional framework that fostered the flourishing of religious and even intellectual sciences through private endowments, including those of the ruling classes
An Intervention Entitled: The Position of the Algerian Governors on the Tunisian Familial Dispute on the Authority between 1728-1756 A.D/ 117-1141 H
This research paper treats one of the important topics, categorized by the Mediterranean Algerian Relationships during the Ottoman era, which resembled the Algerian governors' position on the Pasha Crisis that stormed the Hussaini governance in Tunisia during the first half of the 18th century. Therefore, what is the nature of this familial dispute that emerged in Tunisia between 1728 and 1740 A.D.? What is the position of the Algerian governors on this conflict? And how was the impact of the war on the political relationships between Algeria and Tunisia? We aim to figure out the nature of the political relationships that linked Algeria to Tunisia where both of them are Ottoman eyalets in this research paper, as well as standing on the extent of the ability of Algeria and its rulers to decide on declaring war or peace based on what its internal and external interests dictate during the period of eyalets.
