Nadir Hamidani — 2024-09-30

The digital and technological development in the era of digitization constituted a qualitative leap that was reflected in the reality of public services provided in various countries, including Algeria.

Which was not outside the circle of this digital modernity and kept pace to some extent with this development by improving and upgrading public services through simplified and efficient mechanisms to facilitate administrative procedures, thus establishing an effective e-government.

Algeria has adopted e-administration as part of its digital transformation strategy to improve public services and has introduced several platforms to facilitate public services, most notably the "bawabatak" platform to improve public services. This is a qualitative leap in the way public administration works in Algeria and a developmental model for institutionalizing e-administration in line with digital development.

Nadjla Mortad — 2024-09-30

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a powerful tool for compressing and synthesizing information in the processing of quantitative data from multivariate analysis. It is used in this study to help explore variations in digital dermatoglyphic patterns within some Algerian and Mediterranean populations as part of anthropological research. The PCA carried out in the male sex shows that the first axis, separates the North African populations on the side of the positive abscissa to which are added Andalusia with more whirlpools, and the other populations of the North of the Mediterranean on the side of the negative abscissa with more arcs (and ulnar loops for the female sex). The second axis clearly contrasts the populations of the South of the Mediterranean on the side of the positive ordinates with more vortices, and the populations of the North of the Mediterranean on the side of the negative ordinates with more radial and ulnar loops. The Algerian populations are close to each other and close to Tunisia and Andalusia (and Libya for the female sex). The affinity recorded between these populations can be explained by the cultural, anthropological, geographical mixing that has affected these regions over time.
