This paper examines how a very ancient and popular marketplace, located at the historic heart of Egypt's capital, has become for over a decade the gateway of globalization from below by offering to customers from low and middle-classes and to traders, manufactured goods made in Asia. First, our paper begins with a theoretical examination of the literature on globalization from below, arguing that a spatial study of globalization remains to be done in order to study how global logics transform urban local contexts. It also justifies the interest in focusing on al-Muski's case. Second, it explains the methodology adopted. Third, in the analytical section of the paper, we show that globalization from below transforms an ancient marketplace into a hyper specialized center for made-in-China goods, and thus modifies the cityscape with new urban shapes. Lastly, in the final section, we argue that globalization from below is the key factor of the making of the city, which raises the question of the maintenance over time of the neighborhood, because of its great dependence on political and economic context at the national and the international scales.

La présente étude tente d'examiner l'expérience algérienne récente en matière de labellisation des produits de terroir, et ce à travers le cas de la figue sèche de Beni Maouche. Nous nous interrogeons sur le processus d'appropriation de cette indication géographique (IG) en analysant les stratégies des acteurs à l'oeuvre. Par ailleurs, nous mettons en lumière les contraintes spécifiques à cette culture, pouvant compromettre l'avenir de cette IG. Les résultats de notre enquête suggèrent que l'activation d'une dynamique de développement dans ce milieu rural en utilisant ce type de ressources, requiert des conditions propres à chaque territoire et à chaque culture. Dans le cas qui nous intéresse, nous soutenons qu'une politique de développement de l'agriculture de montagne qui tienne compte des spécificités de ces régions devrait être mise en oeuvre parallèlement à la labellisation. Cela suppose l'implication des acteurs locaux à divers niveaux décisionnels suivant une approche ascendante et intégrée.

Le présent papier a pour objectif de mettre en lumière l'impact de l'intensité des relations du pouvoir sur la qualité de l'information comptable des entreprises agricoles de la région du Souss-Massa. Pour préserver une harmonie entre l'objet de notre recherche et le chemin méthodologique parcouru pour l'appréhender, nous avons élaboré un modèle conceptuel composé de treize variables réparties sur trois niveaux issus des politiques de gouvernance de l'entreprise. Partant d'un paradigme post-positiviste que nous avons inscrit dans un raisonnement hypothético-déductif, le passage du socle théorique au versant empirique de l'étude s'est fait à travers une investigation par modélisation structurelle de troisième ordre à variables latentes estimée selon l'approche des indicateurs répétés suivant un modèle de type II (réflectif-formatif). Ce modèle qui a été soumis à l'épreuve sur un échantillon de 213 observations, a révélé une valeur explicative très significative des politiques de gouvernance de l'entreprise sur sa qualité de l'information comptable. Dans ce sens, le mode de rémunération du dirigeant, la séparation de ses fonctions (gestion/contrôle) et la diffusion de la propriété de l'entreprise ont accaparé tout le mérite d'expliquer l'impact de l'intensité des relations du pouvoir d'une entreprise sur sa qualité de l'information comptable.

C'est un clin d'œil à l'Histoire : la ville d'Aigues-Mortes, doublement symbolique — autrefois point de départ des Croisés, aujourd'hui cité méditerranéenne ouverte sur l'autre rive — a admirablement accueilli des intellectuels maghrébins les 19 et 20 mars derniers. Organisées par la municipalité et le Centre régional des lettres du Languedoc-Roussillon — qui a entrepris, depuis deux années, un vaste inventaire des littératures actuelles dans l'ensemble des pays du bassin méditerranéen —, ces deux journées ont réuni une vingtaine d'écrivains maghrébins parmi les plus importants d'Algérie, du Maroc et de Tunisie, pour confronter leurs points de vue sur quelques aspects de la littérature maghrébine.

Abstract Various studies have shown the crucial and strong impact that undergraduate research has on the learning outcome of students and its role in clarifying their career path. It was proven that promoting research at the undergraduate level is essential to build an enriched learning environment for students [1,2]. Students get exposed to the research world at an early stage, acquire new skills, learn about fundamental topics in depth, develop a professional identity and have a clearer idea about the career path they want to follow later. Undergraduate research enhances engaged learning and therefore is considered as a high-impact educational practice to achieve excellence. The High Energy and Medical Physics Group at TAMUQ has been supporting and engaging undergraduate students in different research projects in the areas of High Energy Physics and Medical Physics for the past six years. It attracted students more than 25 undergraduate students. Many projects conducted within the group were awarded by the Qatar National Research Fund which is a governmental funding body that provides funding to highly competitive projects that address national priorities and contribute to capacity building [3]. Students were trained to use a high performance computing facility, different HEP programming languages, software and Monte Carlo based platforms for their simulation. As for the outcomes, they participated and presented at international conferences, many of them attended CERN summer internship program and took part in different hands-on activities within the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN. Some of the results produced by students were even published in scientific journals [4,5]. Several students are now enrolled in World Class universities for their master and PhD studies. These activities have laid the foundation of a strong and young group of researchers in Qatar. In this presentation, we highlight some of the various HEP projects that our students completed, the different tools that were used, as ...
