Enhancing Access To Digital Collections Through University Library Websites: An Evaluation Study
type: item
description: University library websites in Algeria serve not only as information systems but also as digital communication platforms that connect academic institutions with students and researchers. However, they face challenges in providing effective and user-centered access to digital collections. This study aims to evaluate 15 Algerian university library websites in terms of providing access to digital collections. Using a checklist based on usability and international accessibility standards, the evaluation focuses on navigation, search functionality, and access to digital resources. Findings reveal that most websites are well-organized and easy to navigate but lack multilingual support, advanced search features, and varied content formats such as e-books and multimedia. Additionally, essential services such as virtual assistants and interactive tools are largely absent, which limits online engagement and academic visibility. Recommendations include enhancing accessibility, adding Web 2.0 functionalities, and expanding digital collections. Future work should incorporate automated accessibility testing tools, such as the WAVE tool to address technical barriers on these platforms.

Healing Trauma through Confession in Aristotelian Catharsis: a Discourse Analysis of Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis (1905)
type: item
description: This paper looks at the connection between trauma and Aristotelian catharsis through the lens of Oscar Wilde's De Profundis (1905), which is a work of confessional writing. Traditionally, catharsis is derived from tragedy, instead this study suggests that prose confession can also exhibit a purgative effect by facing and expressing emotional pain. Employing trauma theory and standard concepts of catharsis, the analysis indicates that Wilde's text constitutes both a personal reckoning and a literary space for emotional release. De Profundis demonstrates how writing can turn a traumatic experience into an instrument to heal for both the author and the reader through the mimetic and affective power of narrative

The role of media in tourism development : the Qatari experience as a model
type: item
description: Development media is viewed as a type of specialized media that focuses on promoting social, economic, political and cultural development in contemporary societies and countries, by spreading positive awareness and providing information that contributes to improving the lives of individuals and groups, as well as exporting good ideas about countries and creating positive stereotypes among the masses. Therefore, it is used in the fields of tourism and services in general, as countries interested in these economies and industries include it in their development plans as part of their efforts to achieve sustainable development. Among the countries that have followed this approach, we find, for example, the State of Qatar, which has been interested in the tourism sector as an important economic resource, and has always worked to improve its image through the media, especially during the organization of the 2022 World Cup competitions, and has succeeded in doing so with great success.

Trends Among researchers Towards the Use of Open Research Data Available Through the Repositories indexed in Re3data: A Survey study at the Environmental Research Center
type: item
description: This study aims to explore researchers' trends regarding the use of open research data in the fields of natural and life sciences, specifically data available through repositories indexed in Re3data. We employed a descriptive method with a quantitative approach to investigate the attitudes of 35 permanent researchers affiliated with the Algerian Center for Research in the Environment. Data was collected using an electronic questionnaire. The findings revealed that while the respondents possess strong skills in utilizing open research data, their proficiency with the repositories indexed in Re3data is only moderate. This limitation is not due to a lack of capability but rather stems from their limited experience with the data available through these repositories. Additionally, the study found no significant differences in researchers' trends based on the variable of their specialized research department, except for variations related to the types of content used.

Using Movies as Authentic Materials in English Language Teaching: Algerian Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices
type: item
description: The present study attempts to investigate Algerian high school English language teachers’ perspectives and practices regarding the use of movies as authentic teaching material in ELT contexts in order to help increase learners’ motivation and engagement to learn English. Data were collected using a questionnaire for thirty teachers from different high schools in Mostaganem. Results reveal that most teachers have positive opinions and attitudes towards movies as authentic teaching material. Despite this, only a small portion of teachers integrate movies into their teaching practices and at a low frequency to develop mainly the listening skills of their learners while totally neglecting their benefits in grammar and vocabulary instruction. Such limited exploitation of movies in English language teaching stems from teachers’ difficulty in finding movies with themes related to the content and objectives of the current English language syllabuses as well as in designing movie-based lessons.

Le marché scientifique : comment le savoir est devenu une marchandise ?
type: item
description: ​This work explores the evolving role of scientific publishers, from mere printers to knowledge managers in the digital and AI age. Historically, publishers solidified their position by guaranteeing the credibility of publications through peer review. The rise of the internet initially threatened their monopoly by allowing researchers to self-publish, but publishers responded by emphasizing quality and creating secure digital platforms. Today, faced with the rise of generative AI, they are once again adapting their strategy. Instead of directly competing with tools like ChatGPT, they are integrating AI into their databases (such as ScienceDirect AI), while strengthening the protection of their content. The article argues that publishers, motivated by significant profits, are prepared to meet these technical and legal

title: The Communicative Role of Official Spokespersons for Saudi Ministries on the X Platform in Light of Grunig and Hunt's Public Relations Models: An Analytical Study of the Ministries of Commerce and Health
description: This study aimed to reveal the nature of the communicative role of spokespersons for the Saudi Ministries of Commerce and Health on the X platform, in light of Grunig and Hunt's public relations models. It relied on a content analysis methodology using the website (https://socialbearing.com/), where approximately 200 tweets from each spokesperson were analyzed. Results revealed an almost exclusive use of Arabic in post writing or design, along with a diversity in content forms (text, images, video) that reflects each ministry's tasks and objectives, and a strategic deployment of tags (hashtags) to enhance dissemination and guide public discourse. Analysis also showed a sharp decline in the direct interaction rate of spokespersons with audience inquiries (around 3%), which confirms a one-way communication pattern, as the findings indicated that the communicative role of the spokespersons falls under the Public Information Model, which focuses on disseminating information and facts without attention to feedback. The study recommended diversifying content and languages, fostering continuous interaction, leveraging digital analysis tools, and striving towards two-way communication models to build sustainable relationships with the public

News Treatment of International Security Crises on Television Channels Between Professional Standards and Field Practice
type: item
description: This article deals with the media treatment of international security and political crises by satellite television channels. This media treatment varies from one media channel to another for various reasons, including what is related to the media institution and what is associated with the economic, political and cultural context. Satellite television channels are the most attractive media for the masses during crises because they transmit events by sound and image. The study aims to analyze the relationship of television media to security crises, based on a descriptive and critical reading, starting from the theoretical identification of the characteristics of media processing to the presentation of some models for media coverage in television channels about the Vietnam crises, the Gulf 2 and 3 and the Russian-Ukrainian war. The study came to the conclusion that media processing is influenced by internal factors related to the media organization and external factors related to political, economic and cultural contexts... Thus, objectivity is just an illusion imposed by the theoretical literature in the field of media.

type: item
description: This study aimed to uncover the mechanisms of visual hegemony in representations of the Palestinian cause by analyzing images of the Hamas movement and Palestinian prisoners. It also investigated the impact of these representations on public opinion, with a focus on the ethical and humanitarian dimensions conveyed through the images.

Prioritizing and Issues in the New Media Space - New Media and Old Agenda
type: item
description: This research paper aims to analyze the nature of the factors influencing the prioritization and framing of issues within the new media environment, relying on the classical theoretical framework of agenda-setting theory. It offers a comparative perspective between the traditional media agenda and the digital agenda, focusing on the characteristics and key actors involved in shaping agendas in the context of new media platforms. These actors include content and distribution algorithms, influencers, content creators, the rise of citizen journalism, the proliferation of fake accounts and troll armies, as well as the widespread use of sponsored content. The paper also explores the challenges that hinder the formulation of a coherent media agenda in the digital sphere—chief among them the difficulty of verifying news sources and the rapid, continuous evolution of issues. One of the key conclusions drawn is the reconfiguration of symbolic power within the media landscape and the shift in the center of influence over media agendas. The integration of digital platforms by major traditional media institutions has allowed for the persistence of certain features of the traditional agenda, albeit through new actors, resulting in a hybrid and dynamic environment where traditional and emerging modes of influence coexist and intersect.

type: item
description: In light of recent developments in the educational sector, and the resulting tensions among its administrative and pedagogical groups (the educational community), conflicts over interests and centers of power have emerged. These conflicts are evident in public statements and especially through social media, notably Facebook.

This article aims to study the social hierarchy of these values influencing the phenomenon on Facebook. A descriptive method and content analysis were used on a random sample of 151 comments from a Facebook page with 2,700 comments about the incident, ensuring neutrality and enhancing the credibility and generalizability of the study’s findings.
