Unveiling the neo-Moroccan city: a historical exploration of Casablanca's Habous district (1917-1926)

ABSTRACT This article examines the history and significance of Casablanca's Habous district, a unique colonial urban experiment blending traditional Islamic and early 20th-century European principles. Built between 1917 and 1926 to house large influxes of migrants, it represented a deviation from initial French plans to simply preserve existing medinas. It even supplanted Casablanca's medina as the nucleus of Muslim life. Through extensive archival research from the National Moroccan Archives (Rabat) and the Chaillot Archives (Paris) this article argues that while initially an exception, the Habous proved central to colonial visions of ordering urban space and society in Morocco's growing economic capital. It reflected core aspects of Resident-General Lyautey's strategy, showcasing French power and paternalism while providing locals with symbolic cultural continuity amidst modernization. Unearthing the unusual history of the Habous holds significance for comprehending the history of colonial political agendas and their materialization in colonial planning and housing, and also of architecture experimentation and innovation. After all, it earned the reputation of being the most surprising and impactful colonial creation in Morocco, which served as an inspiration for subsequent architectural projects. But its level of refinement remained unmatched by subsequent mass housing districts. The conclusion ponders whether its status warrants greater international recognition.

Synergizing multi-criteria diagnosis for safeguarding cultural heritage and the restoration of vanished legacy: A historical exploration in science, technology, and archaeology

The urgent need to preserve cultural heritage is starkly evident in contemporary society, particularly poignant in Morocco where its rich cultural legacy faces unprecedented threats. The rapid forces of urbanization and relentless economic development have converged, resulting in the alarming devaluation and irreversible degradation of a substantial portion of this invaluable heritage. Within this disconcerting backdrop, certain remarkable vestiges have managed to endure the ravages of time. One such exemplar is the Marinid Madrasa, an architectural marvel from the 4th century, nestled within the Chellah archaeological site in Rabat, Morocco. Beyond its physical grandeur, the Madrasa plays a pivotal role as a conduit between the past and the future, facilitating the transmission of cultural heritage to generations yet unborn. This paper embarks on a multidisciplinary journey, employing advanced techniques such as terrestrial photogrammetry, numerical modeling, and specialized archaeological characterization, to undertake comprehensive diagnostic study processes. The convergence of these diverse methodologies lays a robust foundation for a holistic diagnostic study. This endeavor serves not only academic curiosity but becomes the cornerstone upon which strategies for compatible conservation and restoration interventions are erected. In the intricate interplay between historical preservation and the imperatives of progress, these methodologies form a bridge. This bridge links the architectural magnificence of the Madrasa with the imperatives of safeguarding it in a rapidly changing world. The ultimate aspiration of this multidisciplinary approach is twofold: to ensure the enduring protection of the Marinid Madrasa and other archaeological remnants against the erosive forces of time and urban development, and to forge a narrative that sensitively navigates the challenges posed by preserving cultural heritage in the face of modernity. In this endeavor, advanced technologies are interwoven with a profound recognition of the historical, social, and cultural significance of these sites, ultimately charting a course that not only conserves architectural brilliance but also honors the profound stories they encapsulate across the epochs.

What is morality? A historical exploration

The objective of the article was to get more clarity on what morality is by addressing the question: ‘Can, in spite of undeniable adaptation and change through the ages, core elements of morality be detected that might be regarded as constitutive of morality?’ The method followed was to undertake a historical exploration of some of the pivotal factors contributing to the historical development of morality. An attempt was first made to identify the most important historical sources of morality. This was followed by a discussion of the social function and characteristics morality displayed in history. The article came to the conclusion that morality is a normative social institution with distinctive and stable core constituents: a core function of enhancing cooperation in communities by providing normative guidance to members on the fair advancement of wellbeing, a set of moral values attuned to the fulfilment of this function, a set of mechanisms to motivate people to act in accordance with the moral values and approved ways to make moral decisions in concrete situations based on the moral values. At the same time, morality is a flexible social institution that adapts to changes in the social and cultural environment.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The research undertaken in the article drew on research findings in the fields of religious ethics, philosophy, evolutionary ethics, and psychology. Research results present religious and philosophical ethics with the challenge to critically evaluate the conception of morality they take as point of departure.

COGNITIVE COMMUNICATION AND RESOURCE APPROACH TO SOCIAL WORK PRACTICES

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Recent research and publications are analyzed by integrating the potential of Socratic dialogue, the tradition of dialogical philosophy by M. Buber, J. Habermas's theory of communicative action, discourse ethics by J. Habermas and K.-O. Apel, the phenome-nological investigations into the topology of the Other by B. Waldenfels, trust research by O. Kozhemiakina, historical explorations of “distant closeness” by V. Yermolenko, and other detailed studies that specifically elaborate on cognitive (linguistic) communication as the linguistic-communicative competence of the social worker. The research objective. The research objective is to define the theoretical and practical significance of cognitive (linguistic) communication and volunteerism as a resource in social work. The statement of basic materials. In the paradigm of the communicative turn from subjectivity to intersubjectivity, this study suggests employing the concept of cognitive communication, defining its content and form based on social work theories. It covers psychologically oriented, humanistic-personalistic, role theory and stigma, and the Strength-Based Perspective theories. To describe volunteerism as a resource in social work practices, Pierre Bourdieu's concept of social capital is utilized.

The Influence of the International Labour Organization on International Law and State Practice: An Analytical Study

This study aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the International Labour Organization's (ILO) institutionalization of international labour standards and its significant impact on the development of international law. It commences with a historical exploration of the ILO, emphasizing the crucial role of its tripartite structure in establishing and overseeing international labour standards, including the fundamental principles and rights at work. The study highlights the positive effects of these standards on the social and economic welfare of workers. Additionally, it delves into the essential ILO conventions and declarations, shedding light on the significance of “soft law” instruments, such as widely adopted ILO recommendations. The study also investigates the ILO's collaborations with other United Nations agencies and regional organizations, illustrating its effective role in promoting the implementation and monitoring of international labour standards, specifically in the context of Saudi Arabia. In summary, this study argues that the ILO has played a substantial role in formulating fundamental international labour standards that encompass economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as the eradication of workforce discrimination, predating the United Nations’ human rights framework. It underscores the ILO’s pioneering efforts in recognizing labour rights as human rights and its active promotion of social justice and the economic well-being of workers worldwide. Through its comprehensive analysis, this study underscores the importance and influence of the ILO's work within the realm of international law. keywords: International law, international labour organisation, international labour standards, decent work, social justice, Saudi Arabia

Improving Policy and Practices of Hospice Live Discharge: A Historical Exploration of the Medicare Hospice Benefit

ABSTRACT Hospice care in the US is heavily regulated to ensure access to the Medicare Hospice Benefit (MHB) for individuals with serious illness. Policy changes to the MHB, many of which intended to minimize potential fraud (e.g. focused medical reviews; documentation requirements for certifications, recertifications, and discharges; requirements of physician narratives and face-to-face visits), directly impact current hospice discharge practices and experiences. When patients revoke hospice or are unable to be recertified due to a stabilized condition, they lose access to the holistic philosophy of care and experience additional stressors with increased potential for burdensome transitions. Patients with chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or heart failure are more likely to have longer length of stays and are more often discharged alive from hospice. Few policy changes have been made to account for growing incidents of patients dying of chronic illness though the policy was originally created primarily for cancer patients, reflecting a time when most patients were dying of cancer. This manuscript describes the uniquely American phenomenon of a hospice live discharge, reviews relevant and historical policies, and provides recommendations for future research, policy, and practice to better support patients and families during this critical healthcare transition.

The Historicity of Plural Societies in East Java

One of the multiethnic regions in Indonesia is East Java Province. Based on the assumption that plural societies are prone to conflict at a certain point, it will impact the dynamics of pluralism in this region. This research will examine this assumption by focusing on the historical exploration of the emergence of plural society and the current portrait of plural society in East Java. The theory used in this research is Social Construction Theory. While the Historical Research Method, with the stages of Heuristics, Criticism, Interpretation, and Historiography, is used to guide the course of research, which will mainly examine the historical side of pluralism in East Java. The results obtained are awareness of the daily reality of East Java society and show that prolonged conflicts that rely on ethnic and religious differences have never appeared. Understanding of the historical reality that different forms in the East Java community have occurred for a long time. So, that reality is what causes East Javanese people to appreciate differences and get used to differences.

Islamic accounting standards: historical retrospective, challenges and key players

A historical exploration of Islamic Accounting Standards is presented in this paper. The fundamental players’ roles in the emergence and expansion of Islamic accounting standards are also identified. To collect data, documents were examined and key players that are involved in the development of Islamic Accounting Standards were interviewed. It has been determined that the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) primarily sets Islamic Accounting Standards in the UAE. Since the reporting standards and backgrounds of accountants may have global effects beyond their jurisdictions, this study suggests accounting standards setters with differences in the ideological and religious backgrounds should communicate with one another in an era of globalization.

Limits of Socratic Dialogue in Moral Education

The main aim of our paper is to identify the potential limits of Socratic dialogue in moral education. These limits will be identified using a) the original ancient writings preserving several versions of Socrates’ dialogue, and b) modern writing on the Socrates’ dialogue in moral education. We will determine whether these limits are to be found in the writing of Plato or Xenophon, or rather in the problems and paradoxes of this type of education. We assume that a historical exploration of the original Socratic philosophy will help us to more easily identify the limits and problems in moral education. However, our intention is not to reject the Socratic dialogue as such, but merely to point out some of the potentially controversial aspects of its use in moral education.

Navigating the Fundamentalism/ “Usulia” Nexus: Contextualization and Acceptance

This article undertakes an examination of the contentious issue surrounding the translation of "fundamentalism" to "Usulia," with a specific focus on the divergent perceptions of this concept among both Muslims and non-Muslims. Through historical exploration and conceptual analysis, the study aims to illuminate the various perspectives regarding the usage of "Fundamentalism/Usulia" within an Islamic context. Drawing from an analysis of pertinent literature and scholarly discourse, it becomes apparent that despite attempts to incorporate fundamentalist ideologies into the “Usulia” framework, most Islamists vehemently reject this translation, perceiving it as perpetuating a negative Western stereotype. The article delves into the theological, social, and political factors that underpin these differing stances, along with their implications for Islamic movements. By providing insights into this ongoing debate, the research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the internal diversity within Islamic thought and the intricate relationship between fundamentalism as a Western concept and “Usulia” in contemporary Islamic discourse.

Divided Devotion: A Historical Exploration of Bismarck's Kulturkampf and its Impact on German Society

This study examines the Kulturkampf, a major 19th-century German event in which Otto von Bismarck fought to limit Catholic influence in politics. Catholicism remained a powerful influence in German society despite Bismarck's efforts, posing a difficult challenge to the mid-1800s political scene. Start with the Kulturkampf, the Catholic Church's fight to adapt to liberal ideals, democracy, nationalism, socialism, and the industrial revolution. Liberal Catholicism's answer to modernity is analyzed, focusing on Ignaz von Dollinger, who strove to reconcile faith with intellectual currents. The paper discusses the First Vatican Council in 1870, which introduced papal infallibility, and liberal Catholicism's downfall. Germany is highlighted because Catholicism suffered ideological struggles and gained academic support as a secular, Protestant-influenced religion. Bismarck's Catholicism onslaught from 1853-54 to the Kulturkampf of the 1870s is examined. Bismarck's fears of Catholic violence and a Catholic plot are examined in the study. The issue deepened in 1873 when the May Laws sought state control over the Catholic Church. The Prussian bishops' resistance to the May Laws led to incarceration, penalties, and institution closures. Bismarck's authoritarianism failed to suppress Catholicism despite overwhelming opposition. Conclusions highlight the Kulturkampf legislation' impact on church-state relations and the reduction of anti-Catholic measures. This paper analyzes historical events to reveal Bismarck's political maneuvers, the Catholic Church's struggles, and the Kulturkampf's lasting effects on 19th-century Germany's religious and political landscape.

Academic workforce in France and the UK in historical perspectives

ABSTRACT This historical exploration of the development of the academic workforce in the UK and France was triggered by the observation of significant similarities in contemporary debates on casualisation, and segmentation despite their distinctive HE systems. We develop a quantitative history of academic staff to understand why the differences in the two HE systems are not as significant in respect to labour market and working conditions. The new data show that connected processes of casualisation, professional segmentation, and sectorial differentiation are used to manage tensions between massification and staff recruitment in both countries, in a context of declining and increasingly unequal distribution of resources, producing inequalities within institutions, as within the profession itself. The reorganisation of the academic workforce during three periods of growth of HE systems under traditional, Fordist and managerial influences has incrementally produced three groups of permanent, casualised, and precarised staff and a dual academic labour market.

Over 40 years of shaping global urban research: The Journal of Urban Affairs, 1979–2021

ABSTRACT After 5 decades of the Urban Affairs Association, more than 4 decades of the Journal of Urban Affairs (JUA), and with the departure of an editorial team, this seems an opportune moment to assess the contribution made by the journal to the field of urban affairs. This paper takes both an historical and analytical approach to this evaluation, detailing the institutional challenges associated with the journal’s production, coupled with identification of key themes in its catalog of papers. The historical exploration of defining articles and notable authors provides a retrospective of the key urban issues that have defined the JUA over the last 4 decades. We also undertake a content analysis of the JUA, utilizing Web of Science data, which dates back to 1993. This bibliometric analysis sheds further light on influential JUA authors, articles and topics, as well as key conceptual, intellectual, and social patterns and trends in the journal over the last four decades.
