Dialectic of Predisposition and Ability in Human Professional Activity
Authors: Lopatiuk Iryna
Published: January 2025

In the following scientific study, we consider a logical model, which for the first time brings us closer to the integrated perception of barriers and obstacles existing in the memory environment, "refracting" human predispositions and transforming them into skills. The area of human orientation in the world of changing opportunities, as well as in the solution of the "predisposition-ability" conflict at the stage of the formation of new professions in an intelligent society of cognitive and innovation perspective, defined by the criteria of technological development, digitalisation and transition to a virtual world of communication networks and the Internet, is justified.

From a scientific point of view, however, it is possible to grasp the characteristics of the memory environment and to search for an "exhaustive list of predispositions" as well as an "exhaustive list of characteristics of each memory environment unit". However, this usually requires years of research with a single person. From the practical point of view, this is unacceptable, because in modern circumstances such recommendations are required, which allow to predict professional activity in a few hours, and in the future to allow a person to learn to navigate independently in conditions of changes in the environment of his life and activity.

The correlation of the activity approach developments within the subject's life development, as well as the model of predisposition realisation mentioned by M. Achtnich as holistic and optimal, maintained by the specific-historical conditions of the figure, have mostly determined the key problem, to which this article is devoted.

The purpose of this scientific exploration is the philosophical understanding of predisposition and skill dialectic in human professional activity (on the example of models by Martin Achtnich and Gregory Popov).

Moreover, the tasks of academician G.Popov largely echo the original formulation of P. Drucker's smart approach, whose paradigm is now being applied to reflect on the smart approach to any areas of activity, defined by the speed of environmental change, the rapid circulation of information, and the circumstances of uncertainty. The recommendations of G.Popov, discussed in the following article, and the concept of P. Drucker do not conflict, mutually complementing each other.
Postwar Ukraine, Democracy, Kurt Lewin, and the Reconstruction of Germany
Authors: Crosby Gilmore
Published: January 2025

Ukraine will face unique challenges if and when the Russian invasion has ended. The transition from wartime to peacetime can result in many social and political outcomes. The possibility of a persistent threat adds to the complexity. The transition from the more autocratic needs of wartime society to a non-militaristic democracy is by no means guaranteed. Lessons can be learned from past experiences, such as post WWI and WWII Germany, and the failed reconstruction of the Civil War in the United States. Social scientist Kurt Lewin (1890 – 1947) provides a theoretical basis for contrasting democracy and autocracy. Lewin applied his theories to understanding the failure of democracy in post WWI Germany and the reconstruction of Germany after WWII. Using Lewin’s work as a foundation, this article considers lessons learned in hopes of being a guide for the eventual cultural reconstruction needed in post war Ukraine.
La culture de l’Égypte ancienne apportée de la Nubie par les migrants et perpétuée par leurs descendants de l’Afrique de l’Ouest
Authors: SARR Mouhamadou Nissire
Published: January 2025

According to the writings of Greek and Modern historians, Nubia can be seen
as the birthplace of the cultures of the very first populations of ancient Black Egypt and their descendants currently living in West Africa. The cultural similarities common to
Nubians, ancient Egyptians and inhabitants of West Africa are partly explained by a long
cohabitation in the Nile Valley. These similarities relate to the establishment of divinities,
circumcision and death rites. The author highlights them by relying on oral traditions
established by classical authors, hieroglyphic sources and archaeological data in order to
write a page of their common history
Keywords : Nubia, Egypt, Migration, Divinity, Cultural unity
Le caractère politique des relations interpersonnelles à Athènes
Authors: THIAM Papa Birane
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This article focuses on personal relationships as the basis of Athenian political
groups. Any study of political life in antiquity indeed invites us to raise the question of
the existence of political parties in the modern sense of the term. Were there structured
organizations, similar to those known today, equipped with a renewable and permanent
apparatus, guided by a coherent if not rigorous political program? In other words, were
politically active citizens divided into political parties or not? Historiography has been
skeptical about the possibility of identifying, in Greek political experience, structures
comparable to today's political parties. The term group would better fit the major trends
of Athenian political opinion, and only personal, family, and friendship relations
remained paramount for most of the century for those who wished to play an important
political role within the city.
Keywords: Political groups, Political partis, Athens, Classical period.
L’ambivalence de Maman Téné dans Sous l’orage de Seydou Badian
Authors:   Université de Bretagne Occidentale – France, AGLIN ANATOLE Justin
Published: January 2025

Abstract. In Caught in the storm by Seydou Badian, the character of Maman Téné is
central to illustrating the dilemmas of women in patriarchal societies. The central question
is: how does Maman Téné illustrate these dilemmas? Based on the hypothesis that Maman
Téné's cultural identity, shaped by her role as mother and guardian of traditions,
determines her ambivalence towards the modern choices of her daughter Kany, the study
aims to show that this ambivalence is a form of silent resistance against social pressures.
Through Maman Téné, Badian explores conflicts of values where tradition and modernity
clash, symbolized by her attachment to customs and her reluctance in the face of Kany's
aspirations. As a mediator between patriarchal expectations and her daughter's individual
aspirations, Maman Téné embodies a complex ambivalence. This highlights
intergenerational tensions and the social repercussions of one's choices in a malian society
in transition. Thus, her character represents a point of reflection on the evolution of female
identity. In comparison with other female characters in African literature, this analysis
shows that Maman Téné is a pillar of discreet resistance.

Keywords : Seydou Badian, Maman Téné, African literature, female dilemmas,
traditions and modernity.

Frenchification : Construction and Deconstruction
Authors: NGALOUO-ANTSO Abraham
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This paper explores the process of frenchification of Bantu names in the
Republic of Congo. The research is documented with the data collected from the
Congolese regions and in the city of Brazzaville from 2019 to 2024. Applying a
contextual and structural approach, the study reveals that the frenchification is
predictable. The frenchified Bantu names can be unfrenchified through a reversal
mechanism. The paper calls for linguistic consciousness, by denouncing the speaker’s
responsibility in the distortion of Bantu names. At length, frenchification can be
deconstructed. In this framework, the present paper is conceived as a contribution to the
existing research projects on preserving African socio-cultural resources in general, the
Congolese in particular.
Key-words: frenchification, assimilation, vernacular language, vehicular language,
alteration.
Jeunesse et engagement à Dakar : analyse comparative des mouvements Y’en A Marre et le Front pour une Révolution Anti-impérialiste Populaire et Panafricaine (FRAPP)
Authors: MBALLO Aissatou Kankou , NIANG Ibrahima , CAMARA El Hadji Malick Sy
Published: January 2025

Abstract. The Y'en A Marre (YAM) movement and the Front pour une Révolution Antiimpérialiste Populaire et Panafricaine (FRAPP) are two Senegalese citizens' initiatives
that emerged in different contexts. While YAM was born in 2011 out of a political and
social crisis, FRAPP, founded in 2017, was born out of a desire to fight imperialism and
defend Senegal's sovereignty. Despite their distinct origins, these two movements share
a desire for change and the mobilization of young people for a more equitable society.
Indeed, the dynamics of socio-political protest among young people in Senegal present
both continuities and dissonances. While YAM has distinguished itself by its ability to
mobilize young people around socio-political demands and promote a change of
mentality based on citizen actions backed by non-governmental organizations and neoliberal foundations such as Ford, Soros and Oxfam, FRAPP has focused on issues of fair
trade, the fight against imperialism and its international merchant flag, neo-colonialism
and the country's economic sovereignty. Two citizens' organizations with different but
complementary approaches and approaches. These differences in approach reflect the
diverse concerns of the players in these movements, and the complementary nature of
their actions in the fight for a fairer society. Unquestionably, the commitment of the actors
in these two movements has played an essential role in raising public awareness and
mobilizing citizens, by making the voice of civil society more audible on political,
economic and social issues. Based on a qualitative approach, this article shows that Y'en
A Marre and FRAPP embody the diversity and richness of Senegalese youth's civic
engagement, and highlights the many facets of the struggle for social justice and
democracy.
Keywords: Youth, civic engagement, FRAPP, Y'en A Marre, change of mentality,
imperialism, sovereignty.
Communautés politiques et communautés religieuses : quelles formes d’appropriation territoriale ?
Authors: TIMERA Mamadou Bouna , HANAFI Rania , BA El hadji Rawane ,   Université Côte d’Azur, Université de Paris, IRD, CNRS, URMIS,   Université Cheikh Anta DIOP de Dakar
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Article 24 of the Senegalese constitution provides for the development of
religious communities and article 102 for the development of local authorities through
decentralisation, while respecting the territorial integrity of the Republic. At Touba
Mosque, a Mouride space and decentralised entity, the religious and the political coexist,
creating multiple territorialities and complex governance issues where citizens and talibés
come together in various ways. This article looks at the different forms of territorial

appropriation and logics of belonging to these communities, particularly in the education
and health sectors. The mixed methodology combines an exploratory visit, a mapping of
the deployment of religion and politics and their interactions, semi-structured interviews
and a quantitative survey of 208 residents between November 2024 and May 2024. The
results show that religious territoriality is hegemonic, but that it also has to deal with
political spatiality that is sometimes structuring, like that of the State, and sometimes
interstitial, like that of the municipality. In governance, in the construction of identities
and in development initiatives in education and health, this is reflected in forms of
duplication, duality and in-betweenness that shape the urban space.
Keywords: Political community, Religious community, Coexistence, Duality;

Analyse sociologique du processus de réinstallation des personnes déplacées dans le cadre du projet de relèvement d’urgence et de résilience à Saint-Louis (Sénégal)
Authors:   Université Cheikh Anta DIOP de Dakar, DIA Ibrahima
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This paper analyzes the resettlement process of displaced populations within
the framework of the Emergency Recovery and Resilience Project in Saint-Louis
(Senegal). The study examines and compares the socio-economic characteristics of
displaced people before and after displacement, as well as the mechanisms for
implementing resettlement. The results of the study show that the participatory and
integrative approach adopted has favored the adherence of the populations, but challenges
remain in terms of equity in compensation and preservation of living conditions. The
project has succeeded in effectively managing complaints and delivering prompt
compensation. However, the transition to smaller plots and the difficulty of maintaining
certain economic activities have created vulnerability among some of those affected. The
study highlights the importance of a holistic approach that takes into account the socioeconomic and cultural dimensions of involuntary resettlement, as well as the need for
long-term monitoring to evaluate and adjust the strategies put in place.
Key words: resettlement, displacement, compensation, vulnerability, Saint-Louis
Visibilité de la production scientifique et intégration de l’utilisation de l’Identifiant ORCID dans la formation des chercheurs à la maîtrise de l’information dans les institutions académiques et de recherche publiques en Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: OUATTARA-COULIBALY Cécile
Published: January 2025

Abstract. According to the French Development Agency, "only 3.2% of the world's scientific
publications come from the African continent" (AFD, 2021). This low visibility or
accessibility reflects a low reuse of scientific production, particularly in French-speaking subSaharan African countries, faced with a lack of adequate infrastructure, policies, and skills,
etc. Signed in 2021, the UNESCO recommendation on open science aims to make scientific
knowledge freely accessible and reusable by all to address global and societal challenges.
Despite its implementation through the deployment of the national repository since 2016, the
Open Access Week Côte d'Ivoire established in 2018, the national symposium held in 2022,
UVCI Open Science policy 2022, etc., the visibility of the scientific production from Côte
d’Ivoire remains low. This study aims to improve the visibility of the scientific production by
integrating persistent identifiers (ORCID, DOI). The data collected from researchers training
sessions, reveal the lack of awareness on the issues and interest in using ORCID ID (75%
answers). It is a permanent and sustainable identifier useful throughout the researcher's career.
It links the researcher to its productions and information systems. However, its integration
requires informational and digital skills. The ORCID project has made possible raising
awareness, advocating and building capacities. The data collected, qualitative and
quantitative, come from observation and discussions with 716 participants and 187 answers
to the questionnaire. Data analysis reveals new skills acquired, highlights training needs
expressed by 73.2% and the usefulness of this training (98%). With 96% response, the need
to advocate to integrate ORCID Id into the practices of researchers and institutions is
confirmed. Thus, ten (10) academic and public institutions have committed to the creation of
the national consortium to perpetuate the achievements of the ORCID project. In conclusion,
this work has broadened our understanding of the concept of information literacy with the
integration of ORCID Id by communities and research institutions to improve the visibility
of the scientific production.
Keywords : open science, persistent identifiers, ORCID Id, information literacy, scientific

Published: January 2025

Cloud Computing (CC) as well as Internet of Things is broadly employed in Industrial Internet of Things. Industrial Internet of Things is a promising technology through vast amount of smart connected tools containing sensing, storage, as well as computing capacities. Digital signature lately played an increasingly significant role in security. The security is employed in IIoT to protect stored data from unauthorized user access. In today`s growing concern for security, we have developed a novel secured data communication method called Quantum Lamport One-Time Digital Signature Cryptography. It is combined with three major processes: key generation, signing, and verification during secured data communication to enhance the security level of industrial information through improved confidentiality rate, greater integrity, and less time. In a key generation, industrial data as input is considered. The keys are generated by the Cloud Server in the CC for the registered cloud users by Lamport One-Time Key Generation by using linear congruential generator. It employed to sign solitary message and be distinct from another user, therefore ensuring data confidentiality. Next, the Modular Arithmetic-based Digital Signature model is utilized to perform the signing process thereby ensuring authentication accuracy. Finally, verification is carried out for secured data communication for industrial IoT via CC. The proposed Quantum Lamport One-Time Digital Signature Cryptography has estimated by dissimilar metrics where outcomes attained confirm its efficiency in comparison to conventional solutions. It aids to enhance 18% data confidentiality, 9% data integrity, 26% authentication accuracy and reduce 18% space complexity, 35% message delivery time as compared to existing methods.

Published: January 2025

The humanistic approach in language teaching emphasizes the importance of emotional and social aspects, alongside cognitive development, to create a holistic learning environment. This study aims to explore the application of humanistic methods, particularly Community Language Learning (CLL) and Suggestopedia, in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Using a literature analysis method of academic articles and documents, this research identifies the applications, benefits, and challenges of these approaches. The findings reveal that CLL enhances learners' fluency and confidence through community-based interaction and the teacher’s role as a facilitator. Suggestopedia, on the other hand, frees learners from psychological barriers, fostering creativity, motivation, and emotional well-being. In the context of TESOL, the integration of humanistic principles has been proven to support effective, meaningful, and learner-centered language learning by addressing both emotional and cognitive needs.

Comparing media-based co-operatives: What is the appeal of co-operative organisations for independent journalists?
Authors: Voinea Anca
Published: January 2025

This paper compares and contrasts three media-based co-operatives whilst exploring the model’s potential to empower journalists and readers. The research is based on an in-depth survey of three journalists from different co-operative publications. The three case studies featured are the New Internationalist in the UK, Alternativas Económicas in Spain, and Alternatives Économiques in France. Highlighting the context in which each of these co-operatives has emerged, the study examines the various advantages and disadvantages of the co-operative model in journalism. The research found that these media co-operatives share many common elements, which derive from their business model, including a tendency towards collaboration and reluctance to rely on advertising in order to maintain editorial independence. All three interviewees said the co-operative model provided their publications with a higher degree of editorial independence, when compared to private investor-owned business models. The findings suggest, however, that the model is not immune to the challenges affecting the media industry, such as the decline in print media or the Covid-19 pandemic. The interviewees identified other challenges, such as continuing to pay staff decent wages, securing funding, and reaching the required number of subscribers to be financially sustainable.
Co-operative conversation in the newspaper industry: Navigating between the reefs towards success.
Authors: Fouquet Étienne , Michaud Myriam , Audebrand Luc K. , Guillotte Claude-André
Published: January 2025

The rise of digital media and platforms is driving significant change in the newspaper industry. These changes are forcing local media to alter their offerings and, for many, to change their ownership structure. In this context, cases of transformation into a co-operative form are particularly interesting. This article presents the case of CN2i, a grouping of regional media in the province of Québec (Canada), that has adopted a co-operative form following the bankruptcy of the former private press group. This case is particularly interesting, because each local media is constituted as a multi-stakeholder co-operative, and they are all integrated into a second-level co-operative. We rely on publicly available information and interviews with key actors to explore the success and challenges of the new co-operatives. Such a radical and fast transformation is accompanied by tensions that we highlight in this article. Drawing from a paradox perspective, we deepen the analysis of tensions arising from this transformation. We use Smith & Lewis’s (2011) framework to describe paradoxes as they correspond to belonging, organising, performing, or learning categories.
Hidden in plain sight: How UK national newspapers report on co-operatives.
Authors: Mangan Anita
Published: January 2025

How do UK national newspapers report on co-operatives? Is there media bias and are co-operatives neglected in mainstream journalism? This article analyses the general coverage of co-operatives across UK national newspapers in 2020 to understand how co-operatives are presented to the public. The research is based on two key questions: how often are co-operatives reported on in UK national newspapers; and what kinds of stories feature co-operatives? Results show that co-operatives remain virtually invisible in mainstream newsprint. Only 640 pieces are published with just 32 stories featuring co-operatives in any great depth. These can be categorised using four themes: high profile business; features; personality-driven journalism; and community activism. Based on these themes, the article makes three points about the UK national newspaper coverage: co-operation is never explained; co-operation is associated with ‘other’ people such as foreigners or the poor; and co-operation is politicised. The article concludes by arguing that because co-operatives continue to be a marginal presence in UK national newspapers, co-operative journalism and journalism about co-operatives is needed now more than ever.

Authors: Olewicz Christopher A
Published: January 2025

The Sheffield Co-operator was published every month from May 1922 to July 1939 by the Sheffield Co-operative Party in the UK. With a guaranteed circulation of 30,000 copies, it reported on issues which were of interest to people in Sheffield and refuted the negative reporting from the mainstream press towards co-operatives at that time. The complete collection of 170 editions bound in four volumes was donated to Sheffield Libraries (Local Studies) by the Sheffield Co-operative Party. Largely the work of one man — Albert Ballard, the Secretary of the Sheffield Co-operative Party — the Sheffield Co-operator survives as a unique example of a locally produced co-operative newspaper. This article provides an overview of its mission, purpose, content, and influence.

Published: January 2025

Recently, environmental pollution has acquired the character of a global environmental threat, the current situation causes concern for the authorities, scientists, and the public and the need to develop simple and sufficiently effective technologies for the return to nature of elements that have been re-formed in the course of economic processes and thus become pollutants.
Traditionally used physical and chemical methods are effective, but very expensive and may cause additional load on ecosystems. Existing outdated technologies and equipment for wastewater treatment need to be replaced with new ones.
Phytoremediation is a set of methods for treating wastewater, soil and atmospheric air with the help of green plants. Due to differences in plant physiology, not all plants can collect heavy metals or organic pollutants. Even varieties of the same species can accumulate pollutants.
The work aims to investigate natural means of cleaning the environment by phytoremediation.
Several field trials confirmed the possibility of using the Paulownia plant for cleaning the air environment of Almaty city. The results of the study showed that the fast-growing Paulownia tree in areas with heavy metal-contaminated cadmium, lead, arsenic and antimony polluted and disturbed soils can be rehabilitated or reclaimed.
All advantages and limitations of the phytoremediation method were investigated and experimentally demonstrated. The obtained research results confirm the prospects of the phytoremediation method for reducing environmental impact on contaminated soils.

Along with technological developments, there is a need to use materials such as palm oil which has various uses, including as an ingredient in food and also used in the cosmetics, biodiesel, etc. industries. This increasing need to support the national economy often leads to the expansion of palm oil from deforestation, which in turn has many negative impacts such as global warming, environmental damage and social conflict in society. Therefore, this research was designed to examine the regional or international impact of sustainable palm oil expansion and examine from an economic perspective the efforts that have been made by the government to overcome this problem. The method used is Normative Law using a case approach that has been summarized by the Human Rights Watch team. Based on what was explained by Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) in 2018, it has become a reference for international (European Union) policy to be implemented in order to create restrictions on excessive use of palm oil, apart from when Indonesia has been involved in trade with the European Union, national policy does not may only use a top-down approach which limits the conservation space for communities living around the forest. Community involvement is an important role in increasing their hearing in expressing and supporting their demands for political attention (including their economic needs). Enforcement and strengthening of ISPO and RSPO is very meaningful for the management of the environment, natural resources and biodiversity, which includes the protection of natural forests and peat, especially those related to relations between all citizens which involve interactions between the economic system and its natural resource system and the environment.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kerangka hukum yang mengatur perlindungan anak serta tanggung jawab pelaku kekerasan seksual. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan konseptual. Teknik analisis data dilakukan melalui kajian pustaka dan analisis dokumen hukum yang relevan, yang bertujuan untuk menggali dan memahami norma-norma hukum yang ada terkait perlindungan anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun ada berbagai peraturan yang mengatur tentang perlindungan anak, penerapan hukum masih menghadapi beberapa kendala. Salah satunya adalah kurangnya kesadaran serta edukasi tentang hak-hak anak yang seharusnya diketahui oleh masyarakat luas. Selain itu, stigma yang ada dalam masyarakat juga menjadi hambatan besar dalam penegakan hukum yang efektif. Kekerasan seksual terhadap anak dapat mengakibatkan dampak psikologis dan fisik yang berkepanjangan, bahkan merusak perkembangan anak dalam jangka panjang. Oleh karena itu, jaminan keamanan bagi korban menjadi hal yang sangat penting dalam sistem peradilan yang adil. Korban harus merasa aman untuk melapor dan mendapatkan dukungan yang memadai, termasuk perlindungan fisik, layanan psikologis, dan jaminan kerahasiaan identitasnya sebagai bentuk dukungan pemulihan selama proses hukum berlangsung. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk perbaikan sistem hukum serta perluasan program rehabilitasi bagi korban kekerasan seksual. Diharapkan, hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan dalam penyusunan kebijakan hukum yang lebih efisien dalam melindungi anak-anak dan mencegah pelecehan seksual di masa depan.
