AI and the Bad Teacher Dilemma

sana bouras — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 16:42:45 +0000

As AI technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see a shift in the traditional teacher role, with educators and AI working in tandem to create a more dynamic and effective learning environment. So, what is more irreplaceable than a teacher that is an absolute specialist in his field? This kind of revolutionary transformation is difficult to imagine. People are just not motivated to modify deeply ingrained institutions when they are comfortable. The study findings which come up from the online survey with Master 2 students and teachers at Chadli Bendjedid University suggest that teachers can use AI to improve teaching and learning without considering it as a replacement. To effectively use AI in higher education, teachers must be aware of potential hazards, establish AI literacy, and address practical challenges. Accordingly, students still admire and respect their human teachers.

Mechanisms for Confronting Illegal Immigration within the Framework of Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants

Rima Mokrane — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 08:07:25 +0000

Illegal immigration, often known as unlawful or unauthorized migration, is the movement of individuals over national or regional borders without complying with established processes and regulations. This sort of migration violates the target country's legal system, which governs and limits people's admission and residency on its territory. As a result, this phenomenon presents a challenge to receiving nations, influencing immigration policy and placing strain on their legal, social, and economic systems.

This research seeks to determine the primary reasons of illegal immigration and how states parties to Protocol against Migrant Smuggling address this issue. Effective efforts to prevent and combat migrant smuggling need an international comprehensive approach that includes improved borders control, information exchange, international cooperation, legal and safe migration pathways, and countering migrant smuggling networks. All while striking a balance between protecting human rights and ensuring national security

The Constitutional Court in Algeria- Critical Analytical Study-

Ibtissem BOULAGOUAS — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 08:30:55 +0000

The constitutional amendment of 2020 brought about many reforms, primarily the establishment of the Constitutional Court as an independent constitutional institution responsible for ensuring the respect of the constitutional document. The Constitutional Court replaced the Constitutional Council, which was established by the previous Algerian constitutions starting from that of 1963 to that of 2016, except for the constitution of 1976 which did not provide for the establishment of an institution to guarantee the supremacy of the constitutional document. This study evaluates the constitutional reforms that affected the constitutional body responsible for control over the constitutionality of laws, regarding their form and competency.

Contributions of Cultural Journalism in Algeria and its Role in Shaping Intellectual and Cultural Identity

Halima Aiche — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 08:16:42 +0000

Journalism is considered a fundamental tool in disseminating culture, shaping intellectual eliteand reinforcing them through the presentation of news, information, and ideas in the fields of literature, arts, and sciences. It also plays a role in preserving and developing heritage. This role was prominent in Algerian journalism before independence, as it protected Algerian culture and intellectuals, promoted awareness, strengthened the sense of belonging, and fought various forms of cultural distortion. Many national titles emerged, such as the journalism of the Association of Muslim Ulema (Scholars)and reformist journalism. After independence, with the emergence of political and media pluralism and openness, the cultural role of newspapers did not change significantly but was confined to cultural pages and literary supplements of many public and private newspapers. This was aimed at presenting Algerian cultural heritage, preserving it, and supporting Algerian writers and intellectuals to strengthen Algerian cultural movements and thus build an authentic, solid, and strong Algerian cultural identity. Despite the financial, intellectual, and racial challenges, Algerian newspapers still play a decisive and strategic role in the process of cultural change and highlighting the cultural and intellectual structures existing in Algerian society. Based on the above, we aim to answer the following questions in our paper:

How did cultural journalism contribute to preserving Algerian intellectual and cultural identity?
What is the current status of cultural journalism in Algeria after independence?
What are the challenges faced by national journalism in supporting Algerian culture after independence?

The Reason behind the Weakness of the Communication Process between Teachers and Students in E-Learning in Algeria

Mustapha Arihir — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 08:32:08 +0000

Our paper is heading towards an unexplored area in Algeria. It is the technical method of courses; our hypothesis was that the courses may not meet the standards of e-learning, which weakens the communication process. Given that the course in e-learning is a design, this design is the least necessary to establish this process of communication. Indeed, after the examination of open courses and after applying the basic criteria that must be available in e-learning courses, i.e., the three systems: the entry system, the learning system, and the evaluation system—which are recommended by the ministry of higher education and what the platform of Moodle supports for “dynamic learning” to increase communication—we note that the sample courses are far from the standards of the three systems, with some differences in the results of the three systems: For the entry system, the majority of courses do not have an entry system; concerning the learning system, the majority of courses have it but remain very low; as for the evaluation system, the overwhelming majority do not have an evaluation system

The role of the UN Security Council in protecting the natural environment

Mohamed Djelloul ZAADI — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The UN Security Council represents one of the most important organs dedicated to maintaining international peace and security, which has been put to the test in recent years due to the multiplication of sources of threats to human safety so that the latter has not become limited to those in which people have a hand, as is the case with armed conflicts, but rather It also extends to include natural disasters that affect the world in various parts of the world. On this basis, members of the international community cannot ignore the risks posed by the natural environment, as it is a new source of risks that may affect the safety of individuals.

This study aims to explore the various possibilities through which it is possible to raise the competence of the UN Security Council to respond to urgent cases that affect the safety of individuals as a result of natural disasters that affect the world in its various forms.

The researcher employed a descriptive analytical approach, along with the calculation of percentages to address the study's two main questions. The findings revealed that students face a variety of issues, ranked as follows: psychological, emotional, social, economic, familial, academic, health, religious, and sexual. It was also found that students primarily prefer to seek help for their problems from their peers, followed by their families. Some students do not disclose their problems to anyone, while others seek assistance from psychological counselors. A very small fraction of the sample seeks help from their relatives. The study recommends raising students' awareness of the importance of pedagogical accompaniment and the role of psychological centers available at every university, encouraging them to seek help for their problems from professionals

Simulation of the Algerian Novel to Global Texts: An Intertextual Approach to the Novel "Ha and the Journeys of Ishtar" by Ezzedine Jalawji

Asma Mesloub, Nadji Hadjersi — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 16:51:56 +0000

In this study, we aim to explore the critical theoretical and conceptual aspects associated with the term "intertextuality," a modern literary technique that enables authors to achieve prominence in global literature. It is widely acknowledged that every literary or artistic work is rooted in and derives from preceding texts, forming intertextual relationships and connections.

We have selected " Ha and the Journeys of Ishtar" by Algerian writer Ezzedine Jalawji as our primary text, noted for its rich intertextuality encompassing religious, literary, historical, and heritage dimensions, and its integration of various literary genres within the novelistic form. This technique is prominently displayed in his contemporary Algerian narratives, which oscillate between traditional roots and modern experimental forms. Our research attempts to trace and explore its characteristics, interpret its meanings, decode its symbols, highlight its aesthetic elements, and examine its multifaceted functions in these novels. Key questions we seek to address include:

To what extent has Ezzedine Jalawji utilized the technique of intertextuality in his works?
How has he employed this technique to achieve genre openness and ascend in the realm of narrative experimentation on a global scale?
Has Ezzedine Jalawji successfully achieved global recognition through this technique?
Do the subtitles serve the narrative content's theme, or is it vice versa, or are both merely experimental? Our research paper endeavors to answer these questions.

Judicial jurisdiction in crimes endangering national security between military courts and ordinary courts

Nadia Tahanout — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 08:07:43 +0000

Military justice is specialized in examining all military crimes as defined by its laws, including those affecting national security, in addition to offenses stipulated by criminal law committed by civilians. This study aims to delineate the jurisdiction of military courts within the framework of these serious crimes, especially after the Algerian legislature changed its stance and amended the military judiciary law under law 18-14, revoking the third paragraph of article 25, which expanded the jurisdiction of military courts in trying civilians committing crimes endangering national security. Post-amendment, this jurisdiction is now within the purview of regular criminal courts, affirming the litigants' right to a fair trial

This research paper aims to study the possibility of investing endowment properties in activating halal tourism in Algeria, especially in light of the trend of many countries towards this type of tourism, which has proven its effectiveness in generating important resources for the countries that adopt it, whether by attracting hard currency or even its contribution to revitalizing the country’s economic development, and also by investing in endowment properties, noting that Algeria has recently sought to exploit them by introducing legislative texts that protect these properties and specify the conditions and manner of investing in them, which allows these properties to be invested in the halal tourism sector.
The study concluded that Algeria possesses a huge wealth of unexploited endowment properties, which can be exploited and invested in the halal tourism sector, especially since the latter follows Islamic religious principles.

Artificial Intelligence and the Challenge of Protecting Personal Data in Light of European Directive EC/9/96 on the Legal Protection of Databases

Hadja Ouafi — Fri, 21 Jun 2024 10:55:33 +0000

The reliance on the current international, regional, and national legislative frameworks, including their criminal aspects and their applications aimed at protecting personal data, despite considerable efforts The existing international, regional, and national legislative frameworks, including their criminal provisions, are currently inadequate for protecting personal data despite significant efforts at various doctrinal and judicial levels. The presumption that existing protections are sufficient without acknowledging the rapid advancements in science and technology calls for new regulations that are in tune with sophisticated artificial intelligence systems, thereby ensuring robust and effective legal safeguards against emerging crime forms that jeopardize personal and private data.

Therefore, it is crucial not to merely extend existing legal frameworks, which were primarily designed for an earlier era, to address new challenges posed by technological advancements that have significantly widened the scope and flow of data. We must adopt a fresh approach that is tailored to meet the challenges posed by artificial intelligence systems and the diminishing influence of state sovereignty in this area.

The intrusion and manipulation of an individual's right to confidentiality and exclusive control over their information are more extensive than anticipated. Hence, it is imperative to thoroughly investigate how artificial intelligence and its applications infringe upon these rights. The assumption that current legislation, particularly in terms of criminal protection, provides adequate safeguards is increasingly questionable for several reasons:

International legislation, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, tends to treat the protection of personal data as a cursory reference, characterized by general rules and provisions that lack binding legal force or mandatory obligations, and thus fail to offer the requisite protection.
A review of the current legislative system underscores a trend towards harmonizing laws to enhance effectiveness and applicability. This is particularly evident in regional initiatives within Europe, such as the European Directive, which is explicitly designed to adapt to technological progress and provide suitable protection for personal data in a collective and unified manner.
