The difference between individuals who have grown up using technology (digital natives) and those who have not (digital immigrants) continues to expand as technology develops. This gap is noticeable at universities where digital immigrant professors and native students interact. Since digital native students and digital immigrant professors have different learning and teaching preferences and needs, both sides must take these differences into account to create an effective learning environment. Thus, the current study was carried out to ascertain professors’ perceptions regarding technology integration, their challenges, and what students (digital natives) and professors (digital immigrants) might learn from one another. The study included 206 EFL students and 19 EFL professors at Moulay Ismail University, Morocco, who successfully completed an online questionnaire. Based on the quantitative and qualitative findings obtained, it was found that despite the difficulties encountered, such as content overload, fake news, distraction, and technical concerns, both students and professors responded favorably to the topic of integrating technology in the educational sector. The findings also demonstrated that students who are digital natives could teach their professors a lot about how to use, navigate, and harness technology. Conversely, professors who are digital immigrants can teach students who are digital natives a lot about how to gather information from traditional sources, what to do when technology fails, and the value of interpersonal communication in the classroom.
In this study by using the Newman-Janis algorithm, we obtained a rotating version of the quantum-corrected charged black hole. The quantum correction appeared to reveal the black hole event horizon and ergosphere. Also, we investigated the impact of the various parameters controlling this black hole, such as quantum correction α , electric charge Q, and rotational parameter a, on the system thermodynamics. In addition, the analysis of the heat capacity showed that this quantum correction alters the local stability of our system.
The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is an essential parameter for studying geotechnical and geomechanical properties, particularly in the context of rock slope stability. However, obtaining intact rock specimens with standardized dimensions is frequently difficult, especially for altered or fractured rocks, leading to the use the Point Load Strength (PLS or IS50) and non-destructive methods, including ultrasonic P-wave velocity measurements and density (ρ). This study aims to establish empirical correlations between IS50, UCS, density and P-wave velocity, obtained from Pliocene limestone samples collected from the excavation face in the Meknes area, Morocco. To reach this purpose, the experimental laboratory tests were conducted in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Standards and French Standardization Association (AFNOR). The statistical regression analysis of the results reveals significant and reliable correlations between these parameters. It provides practical approaches for the efficient estimation of the mechanical strength of limestone in this geological context, where conventional testing is limited and serve as a valuable reference for future research on the carbonate formations of the Meknes region.
Sensitive data protection is a key issue in the context of Business Intelligence (BI), especially considering the increasing emergence of outsourcing computing over cloud. This paper presents an AI-driven automated solution designed to conceal sensitive data while maintaining its integrity for analytical purposes. We developed an anonymization pipeline that applies technologies such as pseudonymization and data masking, supported by machine learning for sensitive data detection. Our experiments demonstrate that anonymized data retains its analytical value with minimal impact on performance and accuracy, providing a solid foundation for secure and efficient BI outsourcing computing over cloud.
At the NE edge of the Saghro inlier, the Tassafte mining district represents a promising area to understand the AgHg-Cu mineralization history of the Anti-Atlas belt. The area is located at the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, where the ore mineralized bodies are hosted within Ediacaran volcano-sedimentary succession of the Ouarzazate Group and also continue within the Cambrian sedimentary sequences. Ore bodies occur in E-W striking structures, ranging from N80 degrees to N120 degrees, which dip 50 degrees-80 degrees to the south and rarely to the north. Mineralization is controlled by two tectonic stages within the E-W trending structures: a) right lateral shearing, syn-kinematic with centimetric quartz veins (QzII); and b) left lateral movement syn-kinematic with barite and calcite veins. Ore microscopy investigation illustrates a multistage ore including; i) the first stage, represented by microcrystalline quartz (QzI) and euhedral pyrite crystals, arsenopyrite and rare cobaltite crystals are also recognized; ii) the second stage which represents the main ore stage in which the most important Ag and Cu were deposited. It is represented by coarse geodic quartz (QzII), associated with chalcopyrite that occurs in veinlets. In addition, rare galena and sphalerite are also observed. This is followed by chalcocite which exhibits tiny veins and also replacing the chalcopyrite. The silver mineralization occurs in minute veins and in the corrosion zone, replacing the preexisting sulfide minerals. Silver mineralization comprises Ag-sulfosalt, Ag-sulfide, Ag-Hg amalgam and rare native silver; iii) centimetric veins of barite and carbonate, followed by zonal quartz (QzIII) which is associated with second generation of chalcopyrite, galena and also rare sphalerite; and iv) supergene alteration stage. The Tassafte mining area shares several common points with other Ag-Hg ore deposits in the Anti-Atlas. These points comprise comparable Ediacaran volcanic host rocks with a young Cambrian host rocks in The Tassafte area, E-W trending ore veins, and also analogous ore mineralogy. The mineralization studied here are related to post Cambrian tectonism and assumed likely associated with Variscan and Mesozoic tectonic events.
