This study investigated the determinants of mobile health (mHealth) adoption among healthcare professionals in Algeria and its impact on perceived quality of care. Drawing on the Task–Technology Fit (TTF) framework, we developed a structural model integrating task and technology characteristics, self-efficacy, and utilization behavior. A cross-sectional study was conducted across three urban districts in Algeria. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), we analyzed survey data from 149 healthcare professionals. The constructs were modeled reflectively and formatively using an extended repeated indicators approach. Validity, reliability, multicollinearity, and path significance were assessed through bootstrapping (5,000 samples). TTF significantly influenced PQoC ( β = 0.676, p < 0.001 ), whereas its relationship with utilization was not significant. Technology characteristics strongly predicted both TTF and utilization. Self-efficacy positively impacted TTF but did not affect utilization. Utilization had no significant effect on PQoC. The model explained 54.2
The study aimed to identify the impact of strategic vigilance on marketing innovation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the State of Batna. To achieve this, a questionnaire was used to collect data from members of the study sample of 37 small and medium enterprises, where the SPSS program was used in statistical processing and data analysis. The study found that the study organisations are interested in marketing innovation. Most of the innovations they make are changes and improvements in the form and characteristics of the product due to the high costs of creating new products, which are not borne by the organisations. The study also found that there is a statistically significant effect at the level (α = 0.05) of strategic vigilance on marketing innovation in the SMEs under study.
This paper investigates the role of fintech start-ups in advancing financial inclusion and sustainable development across Africa. Fintech firms leverage digital technologies—artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and mobile platforms—to expand access to payments, credit, and wealth management. Using panel data for 20 African countries over 2010–2023, the analysis applies panel ARDL and fixed-effects models. Results show that mobile money transactions and internet penetration are the strongest determinants of financial inclusion, while fintech penetration and venture capital flows exert positive but heterogeneous effects. Findings highlight structural constraints, including regulatory fragmentation, digital divides, and geographic concentration of investment. Despite declining global funding, African fintech ecosystems remain resilient, positioning start-ups as catalysts for inclusive and sustainable growth.
Nous étudions, dans cet article, un événement d’une séance en danse à l’école élémentaire. Nous observons une élève en situation de handicap, accompagnée par une Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire (Ulis). Nous questionnons les conditions pour qu’elle puisse être à la source de l’action conjointe enseignant-élèves et devenir une ressource pour d’autres élèves de la classe ordinaire. Nous montrons qu’une mise au travail professeures et chercheure, au sein d’une ingénierie coopérative, peut modifier les conceptions des professionnels qui ont souvent une vision déficitaire des élèves en situation de handicap. Nous décrivons le concret de la classe à partir d’épisodes sélectionnés dans des films d’étude. Ces données d’observation sont travaillées à partir des concepts didactiques de contrat et de milieu dans le cadre de la théorie de l’action conjointe en didactique.
The focus of this research was to examine how participation in a multistakeholder forum (MSF) could: (1) modify stakeholders' perceptions concerning agroecology, (2) foster the emergence of a new network and (3) enhance horizontal co-learning processes among a range of stakeholders. We designed a 2-day forum offering multiple activities based on experiential and co-learning processes on agroecology. Participants included farmers, associations, consumers, policymakers, researchers and students, as well as value chain actors from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and France. Ante- and post-forum questionnaires were drawn up to assess how this event could impact stakeholders' perceptions regarding agroecology and their social networks. The participants claimed that the forum helped them gain a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of various agroecology themes - including environmental, social and economic aspects - thereby highlighting the forum's effectiveness in knowledge sharing and enhancement. The forum also enabled participants to establish a network for ongoing agroecology knowledge exchange. Although this multi-actor forum proved beneficial for knowledge exchange and skill improvement, it should also be nested in a broader transformative process. An overall transformative process, including experiential learning, as promoted in this forum, could effectively meet current agroecological transition challenges.
