http://journals.lagh-univ.dz/index.php/sej/article/view/4148
<p><em>Family and education in Algeria, are a microcosm of larger societal transformations, and both are an engrossing case study in the interaction between tradition and modernization. This article examines two intertwined facets of Algerian society by tracing the historical evolution of its educational system—from the decentralized, religiously grounded model during the Ottoman era, through the disruptive impact of French colonial policies, to the post-independence reforms aimed at reclaiming national identity—and the transformation of family life in the context of modernisation. Employing a combined historical–thematic and mixed-methods research design, the study integrates archival research, demographic analysis, and qualitative testimonies to reveal how Islamic values, colonial legacies, and socio-economic changes have shaped educational practices and familial structures. The findings highlight the enduring cultural continuity amidst change, as well as the emerging challenges in reconciling traditional practices with contemporary demands.</em></p>Riad Soltani

http://journals.lagh-univ.dz/index.php/sej/article/view/4149
<p><em>The research has investigated the effectiveness of employee retention as well as motivation strategies in context of the private sector of Oman by aiming at identifying the challenges alongside opportunistic practices. Through the combination of interviews with HR Managers and relevant employees in addition to the secondary qualitative literature study analysis, the study has exhibited the findings that how motivational strategies would be impacting loyalty, productivity as well as performances and satisfaction among the employees in context of Omani private sector organisations. Findings have also suggested although retention strategies are being recognised widely the financial resources constraints in terms of budget is creating challenges for the strategies to not be implemented properly always. Thus, considering organisational culture, rewards competitively alongside career progression as motivational strategies would support recommended on-boarding strategies to ensure ultimate workforce stability in Oman alongside growth in private sector performances.</em></p>sumaiya Al-MukhainiAhmed Al-HadramiNaila Al-Hadrami

http://journals.lagh-univ.dz/index.php/sej/article/view/4150
<p><em>This research paper examines discourses that predict the decline of theory, particularly within media and communication studies, and the rise of a post-theoretical era. It critically explores the contexts in which these claims are made, especially in relation to digital technologies and big data. The paper argues that these discourses often hold more ideological than scientific value. It also stresses the importance of revisiting the research philosophy, conceptual frameworks, and epistemological foundations within media and communication theories, as well as the social sciences more broadly. The paper calls for the development of innovative approaches that better align with the evolving technological and media landscape.</em></p>Rabah Saddek

http://journals.lagh-univ.dz/index.php/sej/article/view/4151
<p><em>The study aimed to identify the role of Palestinian legislation and laws in enhancing the competitiveness of small enterprises in Palestine by analyzing the impact of the legal framework on their performance through improving the legal environment, facilitating procedures, and providing incentives. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and utilized a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study sample consisted of 378 individuals, including owners and managers of small enterprises. The study found that Palestinian legislation and laws play a moderate role in enhancing small enterprises. It also revealed that clear legal regulations improve the confidence of business owners and encourage investment. Additionally, simplifying business registration procedures reduces the time and costs associated with launching enterprises, thereby increasing their competitiveness. The study also showed that tax incentive laws encourage small businesses to innovate and develop new products. Furthermore, the findings indicated a positive relationship between labor protection laws and the increased stability of small enterprises. The study concluded with several recommendations, including the necessity for the Palestinian government to update laws and regulations to keep pace with global and local economic changes. It also emphasized the importance of raising legal awareness among business owners through workshops and training courses. Additionally, the study recommended the establishment of an electronic platform to simplify and facilitate the licensing procedures for these businesses.</em></p>Amjad Ziyad Hassan Sheikh Ali

http://journals.lagh-univ.dz/index.php/sej/article/view/4152
<p><em>Yemeni society has been living in a war since 2015, which has led to a difference in the general social context of society. The education sector has been attempting to coexist regarding the war, especially after the stoppage of paying salaries of the employees of the administrative apparatus in the country. The study gains its importance by analyzing the nature of the social reality of education in Yemen, and the factors leading to it. The findings will show the factors causing the abuse of education, and will reach the most prominent findings and recommendations that should help improve the educational process in Yemen.</em></p> <p><em> The study aims to identify the quality of education and its problems during the war in Yemen by studying the social reality of education, and the factors of those problems that led to the establishment of the social reality of education in Yemen during 2010-2024. The study uses the analytical and comparative historical methodology, and it concludes that there is a defect in the educational process, which has contributed to the increase in the dropout rate from education, the change in school curricula does not meet the requirements of the labor market, and that the Ministry of Education does not benefit from university professors in developing school curricula in line with the labor market, as well as there are no punitive methods that deter the violators for not respecting teachers.</em></p>Iman Abdulmalik Hassan Baseed
