Published: July 2024

Social entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon that generates significant potential for economic and social transformation, minimizes inequality and promotes social bonds. Although Morocco is at the beginning of developing this type of activity and the necessary infrastructure associated with it, many initiatives have emerged thanks to social entrepreneurs acting in this direction. These entrepreneurs have demonstrated their ability to provide effective solutions to a wide range of economic, social and environmental issues. It is not just about creating for profitable businesses with social goals, but about building an entrepreneurial spirit and inspiring young people, especially women, to find innovative solutions to the daily problems they face.Â In order to measure the satisfaction and expectations of social entrepreneurs in the dynamism of the social and solidarity economy, we conducted a survey, through various regional territorial indicators, of the potentialities and constraints experienced by the region of Casablanca- Settat (Morocco).Â The objective of this study is to develop a barometer of social and territorial entrepreneurship, to build confidence in social entrepreneurs as to their ability to solve major societal problems. The survey revealed limited knowledge of social entrepreneurship among the general public. Recognition of their impact by the various stakeholders remains a major challenge to be addressed in order to better publicize the action of social entrepreneurs at a territorial and national level.

Published: July 2024

This paper demonstrates the integration between an Internet of Things platform and an optical sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phase interferometry. The optical sensing system starts when the liquid containing the heavy metal is flowing through the top surface of a glass prism.Â A laser is turned on and a motor can sweep from 0 to 90 degrees initially. Data is collected by a photodiode sensor. The SPR angle is determined where the reflectivity of light falls to the minimum level. The motor rotation is then fixed at the SPR angle. Self-mixing interferometry is applied by reflecting back the light from laser using a piezo actuator. The resulting phase difference is measured, and the concentration of heavy metal can be determined using virtual instrument (VI). VI consists of control of the optical sensing system which is built in LabVIEW software and installed in a host computer. A web page is created based on the VI using Web Publishing Tool which allows user to monitor the data collected from the optical sensor by entering the URL address in the Internet Explorer from the client computer. Keysight BenchVue software is used to monitor and control the function of oscilloscope. The result of this project is an optical sensor capable of sensing different concentration of heavy metals in which the real-time data collected from it can be monitored remotely using computer and smartphone.Â Â
