Organic Law 23-14 Relating to Information and the Challenges of Artificial Intelligence

DJELLOUL Bakhadda — 2026-05-24

The challenges of the rapid technological revolution, which have affected all aspects of human life, whether social, cultural, political, or economic, have imposed themselves directly or indirectly, and all the societies composing this world, with its multiple customs, cultures, and orientations, have interacted with them. Due to the individual’s thirst for information and the pursuit of obtaining it by various means, whether governmental or private, and in line with the development of society and the informational chaos, which has become largely directed toward society, it has become necessary to keep legal texts relating to the media in line with the developments taking place, especially what is known as artificial intelligence. This term has captured the minds of all those passionate about knowledge and has recently appeared in news bulletins, to the extent that there is a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence in some countries. Algeria, through its amendment of the media law, is supposed to keep pace with developments in this field. Accordingly, the following question arises: To what extent has Organic Law 23-14 relating to the media interacted with the challenges of artificial intelligence?

The Problematic of Legal Compliance and Ethical Responsibility in the Organizational Environment

Hechache Hanane — 2026-05-24

The authority of an organization or institution requires a legal system to which the individuals working within it must adhere. The proper management and success of the institution depend on two basic factors: compliance with laws and organizational regulations as an imposed bureaucratic procedure, and ethical responsibility as a personal choice stemming from the individual’s values. Each of these is linked, on the one hand, to the management style and the economic nature of the institution, and, on the other hand, to the individual’s culture and value system. This is what management systems in most institutions focus on, as their success or failure depends on it. However, what is observed in the Algerian institution is that compliance with the law is completely absent under a culture of non-submission, because adherence to legal regulations is considered a weakness and a diminution of one’s value and status. Likewise, the individual’s ethical responsibility toward his work is marked by a value-based defect, which is considered the result of practices that were, and still are, prevalent in the organizational environment.

The United Nations and the Imperatives for Implementing the Rules of International Development Law

Nesrine Nemouchi — 2026-05-24

This article examines the United Nations’ role in promoting and operationalizing international development law, with particular emphasis on the normative and institutional architecture through which development has been framed as a shared international objective and a human right. It analyses key instruments such as the 1986 Declaration on the Right to Development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, alongside the contributions of UN organs including ECOSOC and UNDP in shaping policy guidance and disseminating development norms.The study finds that, despite significant normative consolidation, implementation remains structurally constrained by the predominantly soft-law character of international development law, donor-driven financing patterns, and asymmetric power relations within the UN system. It concludes that strengthening compliance requires more binding monitoring mechanisms and more inclusive participation of developing countries in agenda-setting and development governance.

Epidemiological Profile, Anthropometric Indicators, and Risk Factors of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries Among Male Athletes: An Extensible Descriptive-Exploratory Study in Chlef Wilaya

Ziane Lahouari — 2026-05-24

Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries present a critical structural and functional threat to athletes, often necessitating surgical intervention and inducing long-term joint instability. Objective: This extensible study investigated the epidemiological characteristics, anthropometric indicators, workload variables, and environmental factors associated with ACL tears among male athletes in Chlef Wilaya. Methodology: A descriptive-exploratory cross-sectional design was applied to a baseline sample of N = 36 male injured athletes. Precise physical parameters and injury environmental dynamics were processed using JAMOVI (v2.4). Both descriptive metrics and inductive statistics via Pearson’s Chi-Square (χ²) were deployed. Results: The cohort exhibited a mean BMI of 24.16 ± 2.98 kg/m². Team sports—specifically Handball (55.6\%) and Soccer (36.1\%)—predominated the sample. Critically, 63.9\% of ACL tears occurred on high-friction Multi-sports halls and 25.0\% on Artificial grass during active exercise (97.2\%). Inductive analysis revealed a statistically significant association between the flooring type where the tear occurred and the sport discipline (χ² = 38.6, p < 0.001). Conclusion: ACL failure in Chlef is highly multifactorial, driven by elevated mechanical loading and interaction with high-torque synthetic and turf fields. This registry remains open for prospective database expansions.

Conflict of Interest as a Significant Aspect in Tree Planting to Support Green Infrastructure in Cultural Landscape

Milena MOYZEOVÁ — 2026-05-30

The aim of this paper is to present landscape ecological research on green infrastructure in the cultural landscape of Slovakia. Part of the methodological procedure is a proposal for greening the landscape with non-forest woody vegetation. The function of non-forest woody vegetation is determined based on the value of ecological stability and specified conflicts of interest. We differentiated the territory of Slovakia according to variations in ecological stability of the cadastral territories of urban and rural settlements of the Slovak Republic (i) and the identified conflicts of interest between positive and negative socio-economic phenomena (ii). We proposed such functions of non-forest woody vegetation in the specified regions so that the heritage features are restored to the greatest extent possible and the traditional character of the territory with a high-quality living environment and a rich diversity of plant and animal species is preserved (iii). The proposed functions of non-forest woody vegetation in areas of real conflicts of interest will mitigate the negative impacts of stress factors on humans, soil, water, forest and biotic resources and contribute to increasing ecological stability and improving the overall ecological state of ecosystems in the given regions.

Abdeldjelil chahrazed — 2026-05-30

This study aimed to identify the effect of training age on some physiological variables of the cardiovascular system, namely resting heart rate, post-exercise heart rate, and post-recovery heart rate for one minute, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the same periods, in under-19 football players. The researcher used the descriptive method with correlation and comparison techniques, as it was suitable for the nature of the study. To confirm the problem and its existence, the researcher conducted a pilot study, which showed that players with more training age had a better understanding of heart rate levels and training loads, as evidenced by their heart rate and its variations during training phases, compared to those with less training age.

To verify the validity, reliability, and objectivity of the tests and measurements used in the study, the researcher conducted a pilot study on a random sample of 19 players. The results showed that the tests demonstrated a high degree of validity, reliability, and objectivity.

In the main study, the researcher used a sample of 98 players under 19 years of age, representing 8 teams from the east, west, central, and southern regions of Skikda province. These players were selected purposively. The researcher relied on physiological measurements and physical tests in the main study. The physiological measurements consisted of measuring heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest, immediately after exertion, and finally after a one-minute recovery period.

The results showed that...

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (resting heart rate).

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (heart rate and systolic blood pressure after exertion).

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (diastolic blood pressure after exertion).

Artificial Intelligence and Economic Productivity: A Comparative Assessment of Algeria's Readiness and Development Prospects

Lakhdar ZIANE — 2026-05-30

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming global economies by enhancing productivity, enabling innovation, and reshaping labor markets. While advanced economies have integrated AI technologies at scale, emerging economies such as Algeria face structural and institutional challenges that limit the potential impact of AI on productivity growth (Agrawal, Gans, & Goldfarb, 2019; Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2020). This study provides a comparative assessment of Algeria’s readiness to adopt AI for economic productivity, benchmarking its performance against Morocco, Egypt, and Turkey. Using data from the World Bank (2022), Oxford Insights Government AI Readiness Index, and sector-specific studies, the analysis identifies strengths, gaps, and opportunities for AI-driven economic transformation. Findings reveal that Algeria exhibits significant lag in digital infrastructure, human capital, and institutional frameworks compared to peers, yet targeted investments and policy reforms could accelerate AI adoption and productivity gains (Brynjolfsson, Rock, and Syverson, 2017; McKinsey & Company, 2023). The paper concludes with policy recommendations to foster a conducive environment for AI integration, positioning Algeria to leverage technological advances for sustainable economic growth.

Strategies of Transformation in Contemporary Maghrebi Cultural Narrative: Openness of Form and Experimentation through the Autobiography Chants of Salt (A Hirak Autobiography) by Larbi Ramdani as a Model

Medakene keltoum — 2026-05-24

The cumulative transformations within the Maghrebi reality at large, and the Algerian context specifically, have profoundly impacted literary discourse. Maghrebi cultural narrative has consequently sought to produce texts that transcend conventional constants, formal boundaries, and strict intertextuality. It achieves this by disrupting the established narrative paradigm and opening a single discourse to interacting discursive structures and other artistic mediums. Within this framework, this study examines Larbi Ramdani’s novel, Anashid al-Milh (Songs of Salt), as a text predominantly shaped by the autobiographical genre. By intersecting intertextually with various expressive forms, the novel generates a novel narrative-discursive synthesis and an unconventional structural framework. Accordingly, this study aims to reveal the primary experimental mechanisms and strategies employed by the author. Furthermore, it explores the aesthetic impact of this discursive openness within the autobiography, through the lens of literary dialogism and intertextuality, by examining the innovative artistic techniques that have reshaped the creative process."

Optimal Electricity Consumption in the Agricultural Sector and Its Implications for Startups: An AI Enabled Photovoltaic Approach

Mohammed El Amine Abdel Hafidi — 2026-06-04

This paper examines optimal electricity consumption in the agricultural sector, starting from the realities of remote areas where grid connection is weak or absent. Such constraints disrupt irrigation operations, hinder product cooling and cold chain storage, complicate the preservation of veterinary medicines and vaccines, and ultimately increase operating costs and production risks. In this context, photovoltaic (PV) solar systems have emerged as a practical and promising alternative. However, field performance is neither stable nor automatically efficient, it is shaped by multiple technical and operational factors dust accumulation, high temperatures, partial shading, installation and configuration issues, undetected faults, and poor storage management leading to energy losses and a higher effective cost per kilowatt hour actually delivered.The study aims to highlight the role that startups can play in rationalizing electricity use and improving PV system performance on farms through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. These include generation forecasting, agricultural load scheduling (especially water pumping), maximum power point tracking, solar tracking, intelligent fault detection, and predictive maintenance, in addition to technical advisory services and user training. Using a descriptive–analytical approach based on recent literature and an analysis of Algeria’s national regulatory framework for startups, the paper concludes that optimal energy use in agriculture cannot be achieved through hardware alone. Rather, it requires a smart service layer driven by startups within a supportive ecosystem that includes targeted financing, data governance, stronger university–farm linkages, and technical interoperability standards.

Ahmad Abdul Karim Al-Mulqi — 2026-06-09

It is an analytical study of Al-Wa'wa' Al-Dimashqi's poetical experience initiated by qualification of elements of place in the poet's collection within seminars of the proper shape and simonize the evidences within distinctively separated word fields. The research adopted the analytical approach, which is based on analyzing poetic texts in light of their semantic, urban, psychological and artistic dimensions. The foundation for this research is that the themes, imagery and mood of al-Wa'wa's poetry were influenced by the environment of Damascus but did not describe it. The study has confirmed that the presence of the city within al-Wa'wa's poetry was conscious and partial, and also had a focus on aspects of urban life, including socialised aspects such as meetings and its related style of language. The results also showed that the streets of Damascus have a definite psychological effect, with a mood of quietude, calm, comfortable surroundings and a sense of a home-like atmosphere. Moreover, the environment also helped to influence the poet's poetic imagery, language, and vocabulary within this "prescribed" balance of the place and the rhetorical culture of the time.
