Ces dernières années, le vieillissement de la population s'est amorcé en Algérie et il devrait s'amplifier. Or, avec l'avancée en âge, le recours aux services de santé devient plus intense du fait de l'évolution de l'état de santé, avec notamment un risque accru d'apparition de maladies chroniques voire d'incapacités physiques. Des études antérieures ont constaté que ces dernières constituent les principales causes de l'utilisation des services de santé par les personnes âgées. L'objectif de cette étude est de mesurer la contribution des maladies chroniques et des incapacités physiques dans l'utilisation des services de santé par les plus âgés en Algérie ; et de vérifier si la relation entre maladie chronique et recours aux services de santé est modifiée en présence d'incapacités physiques. Pour mener notre étude, nous avons analysé les données issues d'une enquête menée auprès de 150 personnes âgées de 60 ans et plus, en utilisant des modèles de régression de Poisson et de régression logistique binaire. Nos résultats montrent que les maladies chroniques constituent le principal facteur de l'utilisation des services de santé par les plus âgés et qu'en présence d'une situation de handicap, la relation entre maladie chronique et utilisation des services de santé n'est pas modifiée. Compte tenu des caractéristiques spécifiques de la population étudiée, l'identification des facteurs influençant l'utilisation des différents services de santé semble primordiale afin de pouvoir garantir une offre de services de santé adaptée à ses besoins.

Guilt is the intense sense of remorse that accompanies the conduct of a sin. When anyone seeks to purge their guilt in the process of redemption, they are compensating for their mistakes through acts that rid them of guilt. This is shown by Hosseini's characters Amir, Baba, and Sohrab. The novel's plot centre around the desire for repentance, which extends as a motif to encompass both personal and political elements. As a result of Hassan's abuse, Amir has spent the remainder of his life attempting to atone for his betrayal of his long-time partner. This leads to Amir's return to Afghanistan and his efforts to save and adopt Hassan's son, Sohrab. After learning of Baba's deception of Ali, Amir knows that Baba was most likely attempting to atone for his adultery in later life through his many benevolent activities and firm values. Hosseini makes a subtle link between these personal searches for redemption of Afghanistan. Despite his country's brutal and dishonest past, Hosseini wishes for its restoration one day.

This paper introduces student-initiated projects outside the classroom as an effective method for developing intended learning outcomes (ILOs) based on Effat university graduate characteristics and national accreditation standard for learning and teaching. The characteristics of the university graduate are based on the IQRA values (core values that stand for: adopting research for life, social values, responsible and creative leadership, and effective communication). Furthermore, the academic programs ILOs are designed according to National Qualification Framework (NQF) of the National Commission of Academic Assessment and Accreditation (NCAAA). Effat Ambassadors Program (EAP) is a co-extra-curricular program with ILOs that focus on developing Effat student as ambassadors of IQRA values. ILOs related to social and educational values and responsible leadership are the most difficult to achieve and assess; therefore a construtivist approach towards leadership learning is described as "Life Immersion Learning Learning Model" (LIM). This paper demonstrates LIM by focusing on one of the EAP projects initated by the Student Government, which was to launch a TEDx EffatU chapter for Effat University in Saudi Arabia. This project, as a real life project, was found to yield excellent results in terms of meeting characteristics of Effat graduate, especially for social & educational values and responsible leadership. Another result is the optimum student and teacher satisfaction and involvement.

A successful accomplishment of engineering objectives requires a combination of technical specialties and expertise. Engineering becomes a team activity where various individuals involved are aware of the important relationships between specialties and between economic, political, and societal factors. With the vast movement towards promoting and developing models, practices, and technological environments in the domain of engineering, there is a need to facilitate communication, collaboration, and coordination amongst their actors. The purpose of this research paper is to solve the problem of capitalization of knowledge, tacit and explicit, in the domain engineering within the framework of an online community of practice (CoP). A generic knowledge model has been proposed to represent the CoP knowledge in the community memory, and the process of capitalization and management phases have been established. This work will contribute in proposing technology support for the CoPs and management of explicit and tacit knowledge. ; EACP'08 , Colloque international : « Environnement d'Apprentissage pour les Communautés de Pratique », Tlemcen 18-20 Nov 2008

In recent years, India has placed a greater emphasis on the issue of financial inclusion. The purpose of this research is to assess the current status of financial inclusion in the various districts of Assam, India. A financial inclusion index is developed for each district in Assam by using data pertaining to three key dimensions of financial inclusion: banking penetration, availability of banking services and usage of banking services. The findings indicate that despite several initiatives to provide financial services to all, the success of financial inclusion in Assam is still far from satisfactory. Significant disparities exist in the extent of financial inclusion across the districts in Assam. While a few districts have achieved considerable success, the achievements of the majority of districts are unsatisfactory. The regression analysis indicates that literacy has a significant effect on such disparities in financial inclusion. The study argues that to enhance the efficacy and success of financial inclusion, all stakeholders need to make a concerted effort with a social development perspective.

Cette analyse s'est focalisée sur les jeunes générations et les faclabs, laboratoires d'expérimentations créés dans le sillage des fablabs mais destinés aux étudiants universitaires. Pour rendre compte de ces nouvelles pratiques, cette première étape de la recherche dont cet article est la traduction s'appuie d'un point de vue méthodologique sur l'analyse et l'observation de l'environnement, sur des entretiens informels avec certains participants du faclab de Cergy-Pontoise, précurseur en France de ce type de dispositif universitaire, et sur un entretien mené avec la directrice de ce faclab.
