Cet article explore les représentations de la folie féminine à l’intersection de la littérature francophone contemporaine et des traditions culturelles maghrébines, en particulier marocaines. En croisant les figures de la possédée, de la silencieuse ou de la délirante, il interroge la folie comme langage alternatif, entre rituel et écriture. Les textes de Slimani, Mokeddem ou Daas dialoguent ici avec les rites de transe (gnawa, lila), révélant la folie non comme pathologie à éradiquer, mais comme résistance poétique et politique aux normes de genre, de culture et de rationalité. La littérature devient ainsi le prolongement symbolique d’un cri rituel : celui du corps féminin en rupture.

This study aims to analyze the neurocognitive profile of patients with Alzheimer's disease within the Moroccan context. By examining cognitive performance across domains, identifying sex-based differences, and exploring correlations among cognitive measures, it seeks to enhance understanding of Alzheimer's disease characteristics and inform culturally and demographically relevant approaches to diagnosis and care.The sample included 30 participants (22 females and 8 males), aged 51 to 81 years (mean age: 72.1, median age: 74, SD: 8.23). Neurocognitive tests were used to assess cognitive functions: MMSE-MA, Rey Figure, and Raven's Matrices. The Cronbach's index (0.748) indicated acceptable internal consistency.Half of the participants exhibited slight cognitive impairments, 27% moderate, 3% severe, and 20% no detectable impairment. Correlations included: orientation with learning (r = 0.393, p = 0.035), attention/calculation (r = 0.648, p < 0.001), and recall (r = 0.606, p < 0.001). Age negatively correlated with MMSE scores (r = -0.451, p = 0.012). Other strong positive correlations were found among MMSE, Rey Figure, and Raven's Matrices scores. Men performed better on average than women, with significant differences in MMSE scores (t = -2.52, p < 0.001).

A structural equations modelling (SEM) was used to test the impact of five stakeholders and the manager posture's on Reverse logistic (RL) implementation as well as relationships between RL and environmental/economic performance, Moreover, we also used a SEM to study the moderating effects of ISO 14001 certification between RL and environmental performance, as well as the moderating role of company size between RL and economic performances in a sample of 55 OEMs in the automotive sector of Morocco. Results suggest that government importance and RL are negatively linked. In regard to the other determinants of RL implementation, results showed that RL is positively linked to the importance of shareholders, customers, employees and the strategic stance of the manager. However, the importance of local community exercises no influence on the level of implementation of RL. In addition, this study concludes that RL can enhance environmental and economic performance. Moreover, our results showed that with the size of the company, RL increase the level of economic performance, moreover, the interaction between RL and certification is positively related to environmental performance.

The novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in an overall increase in new cases of depression and burnout and exacerbation of existing mental health problems, with particular emotional and physical harm to healthcare workers. For this reason, the aim of this study is to assess occupational exhaustion and to determine its risk factors within this population during the period of COVID- 19. This is about a cross-sectional study that was conducted from March to June 2020. The target population was health professionals working in the various departments of COVID-19, in public hospitals in Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region of Morocco. To evaluate the burnout, we chose the French version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The average age of the participants was 42.8±7.4. The gender ratio was balanced at 1.1. Regarding professional status, 61% of the participants are nurses and 39% are doctors. The average professional seniority was 20±8.9 years. As shown in the figure below, the MBI revealed that: 80% (n=72) suffered from burnout, of which 49% (n=44) had a low level, 17% (n=15) had a moderate level and 14% (n=13) had a severe burnout. Unmarried status (Odds Ratio= 9.61; 95% IC= [0.19-2.13]; P-value=0.001); The protective measures unavailable to health professionals (Odds Ratio= 7.13; 95%IC=[2.32-21.89];P-value=0.001); dissatisfaction with the efforts made by the Ministry of Health to fight Covid-19 (Odds Ratio= 9.1; IC95%=[2.82-29.37]; P-value=0.001) are the most important risk factors. In light of these results, interventions to support the mental well-being of health care professionals during and after the COVID-19 period should be implemented immediate.

Le principal problème auquel font face les banques lors de la décision de l’octroi de crédit est leur incapacité à déterminer avec certitude si le client va honorer ou non ses engagements. Depuis toujours, cette décision de l’octroi du crédit repose sur l’évaluation préalable de l’agent de crédit. En effet, une détection précoce des difficultés de l’entreprise se fait à l’aide des outils de prévision du risque de défaillance qui s’appuient tous sur l’analyse du passé pour prédire l’avenir de l’entreprise. Cette analyse repose essentiellement sur l’exploitation des états de synthèse de l’entreprise qui restent une source d’informations incontournable pour la détection des difficultés des entreprises. Parmi ces méthodes de prévision, on trouve les réseaux de neurones artificiels. Cette technique est utilisée dans de nombreuses disciplines notamment la médecine, le marketing, la finance et constitue une alternative intéressante aux techniques statistiques traditionnelles pour le traitement des données comme (la régression logistique, analyse discriminante, etc..).

The Arabic-speaking region suffers from insufficient levels of physical activity (PA). Assessing the effectiveness of PA interventions presents a scientifically evaluated method to reduce and prevent the current high burden of noncommunicable diseases affecting this region. This review examined implemented PA interventions and corresponding measured health outcomes in this region. The review was limited to studies prior to January 2020 using nine electronic academic databases. Only intervention-focused articles incorporating PA as the primary intervention or as a component of a multibehavioural intervention were included. Thirty-nine PA intervention studies were identified. Published PA interventions were implemented among 50% of the countries in the region. Seventy percent of the studies were conducted in the Gulf region and 25% in North Africa. A third of the studies was designed for children and adolescents. Accordingly, 40% of interventions were for patients living with comorbidities. Seventy percent of the studies included PA as part of a multidisciplinary intervention. Most studies included body mass index as an outcome parameter. Significant improvement (P < .05) in measured health outcomes was seen in 97% of studies. Thorough analysis includes social and culturally congruent aspects of the PA interventions and discussion of resultant health outcomes. This information furthers the understanding of effective PA interventions that can be adapted to target sedentary lifestyle behaviours in this region.

To ensure connectivity in a large-scale networks, we consider a multiple drones flying mesh network (DFMN) built on IEEE 802.11s. In DFMN, drones fly above a target area, collecting data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and forward it throughout drones in a multi-hop fashion till arriving to the processing unit. Moreover, each drone generates its own packets, and they mainly contain hello messages and beacon frames advertising their presence. In this paper, we propose a queueing framework which analyze the performance of such a mesh network in view of forwarding queues’ stability and end-to-end throughput.
