Aspects of sustainable development in Moroccan companies, the Case of the cherifien group of phosphates referred to as OCP
The Third International Congress in Johannesburg (2002) marked the history of development because, for the first time, firms and non-governmental organizations were present and faced with their responsibilities for sustainable development. The starting point of this article will be the following questions: 1. How did the Moroccan company react to the concept of sustainable development and how did it use it in its strategies? 2. Has the concept of sustainable development been transformed into a social action carried out by the company when it interacts with its social and natural environment? 3. Has the Moroccan company’s relationship with its environment changed after adopting CSR in its strategies? The results of the study lead us to conclude that all the OCP propaganda about RSE is just a kind of sustainable advertising whose first goal is to serve the economic leadership strategy of the OCP.

The problem of security fragility in weak states: Syria as a case study
The main security threats facing weak states can be catastrophic and arise primarily -although not exclusively- from internal and domestic sources, in a way that later opens the door for foreign sources for manipulative states to interfere and influence. Taking Syria as a case study, it became clear that the combination of its weakness and the internal threats that surrounded it during the past decade created a unique security challenge for it. It is special challenge because it arose from confronting internal threats, rather than external threats to the existence of the nation-state. Yes, Syria's neighbors have been implicated in external interference in its internal affairs and battles, but by proxy and not explicitly. This was done because of the internal justifications that gave them a window to interfere and influence internal affairs.

Analyse psychosociale de la littérature féminine en Mauritanie
Over the years, Mauritanian Moorish women have managed to have their own poetry, an oral literature known locally as “tebrāʕ” translated into French by the word “ingenuity”, sometimes also “invention”. It is a love poetry originally used by girls or by women in general to express feelings that social norms prevent them from manifesting publicly. Tebrāʕ is deeper than a mere female expression of passion, it is rather a social and psychological state of mind that empowers women and helps them break taboos virtually for a short period of time. This article is an analytical reading of Tebrāʕ and presents new models and ways of examining this oral literature. It tries also to answer several questions which can be summarized as follows: Can this form of poetry be considered as a female literature? The closed circle where these words are composed and pronounced, can it be considered a therapy session? And above all, what power do these women and girls derive from this practice? This article is also a study of the perception of men and women in Mauritania in relation to this oral art practice based essentially on an empirical study that is the first of its kind in the country.

Means of Proof in Cybercrimes: A Comparative Study with Application to the Yemeni Context
This study examines "Means of Proof in Cybercrimes: A Comparative Study of the Yemeni Context", digital evidence in cybercrimes through a comparative analysis of the Yemeni context, aiming to reveal the legal nature of digital evidence and its technical characteristics (immutability, manipulability, difficulty of destruction), along with its types, admissibility conditions, and probative value. The core problem lies in the disparity between evolving digital evidentiary techniques and the inability of traditional legal and procedural frameworks to accommodate them, acutely manifested in the Yemeni judicial system, which suffers from legislative vacuum, technical deficiencies, and weak infrastructure. Employing analytical and comparative methodologies, the study concludes that effective digital evidence requires precise controls (legality, evidence integrity, chain of custody, forensic expertise), with key recommendations including: enacting specialized Yemeni legislation, establishing digital forensic laboratories, forming specialized judicial chambers, and harmonizing national legislation with international standards such as the Budapest Convention.
Sources of Poetic Imagery and Their Rhetoric in Classical Desert Poetry: Muhammad ibn al-Talaba as a Model
This study attempts to shed light on classical desert poetry in Tiris, Morocco, through the model of the poet Muhammad ibn al-Talaba, by examining the sources of poetic imagery in his work and recalling the key foundations that contributed to its formation. These are linked to the desert and Bedouin environment, as well as to the social structure through the presence of the poet’s group, the Ya‘qūbiyyīn, in addition to the importance of his cultural formation and his extensive familiarity with the poetry of the ancients. This renders his texts as ones that engage in dialogue with earlier poetic eras. The study adopts an aesthetic approach through rhetorical analysis grounded in the concepts of classical Arabic rhetoric. The study concludes with significant findings, namely that the poetic imagery in Muhammad ibn al-Talaba’s work represents an authentic extension of pre-Islamic poetic imagery and the recurring images found in classical poetry. It also concludes that the poet Ibn al-Talaba constitutes a major pioneer and a true founder of the discourse of revival and the reanimation of classical poetic imagery within an environment that closely resembles the well-known Arab desert setting of the Arabian Peninsula. This underscores the need for Arab scholars to give serious attention to desert poetry, study it closely, and properly situate it within the development of classical Arabic poetry across different regions of the Arab world.
Manifestations of Polytheism in the Pre-Islamic Era: Divination by Arrows and the Innovations of the Ḥums as a Case Study
This study aims to explore the manifestations of polytheism in the pre-Islamic era, particularly divination by arrows (al-azlām) and the innovations of the Ḥums, by analyzing their nature, identifying their underlying motives, and examining their theological and social impacts. It also seeks to highlight the Prophetic methodology in abolishing these practices and rectifying the course of belief. The study adopts an inductive-analytical approach, through tracing relevant texts in the Prophetic biography, as well as works of exegesis and theology, followed by analyzing them and linking them to their historical and doctrinal contexts in order to form a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena. The study concludes with several key findings, most notably: first, that polytheism in the pre-Islamic period was not limited to idol worship, but also included forms of deviant legislation, such as inventing religious rulings and prohibiting what God has permitted. Second, these practices had a profound impact on people's lives, leading to the neglect of legitimate means and causing hardship and distress, as seen in divination by arrows and the practices of the Ḥums. The study recommends conducting specialized theological research that connects ancient forms of polytheism with contemporary deviations, while employing the Prophetic approach in addressing them, and strengthening educational and da‘wah programs aimed at reinforcing monotheism and correcting doctrinal concepts within societies.
