DESCRIPTION OF DYSTOCIA IN EWES OF THE KSAR EL BOUKHARI REGION (ALGERIA)

The region of Ksar el Boukhari is an important site for sheep farming in the high plateaus of central Algeria, the main product of which is the lamb. However, the prevalence of neonatal mortality has been scarcely studied. A longitudinal study involving ten veterinary facilities in the region provided us with a detailed description on 171 cases of dystocia, including bad presentations (39%), cervical atony/non-dilation of the cervix (19%), (true) cervical atresia (10%), and uterine torsion (8%). Twenty-nine percent of the cases of dystocia were presented at the veterinary facilities on the same day. Manual relief was provided in 62% of the cases. The remaining cases were relieved surgically

Gender gaps in English as a second foreign language attainment: some Oujda High Schools case study

Several studies and research have been conducted on the issue of gender gap attainment, most of which have concluded that female students are relatively higher achievers compared to males. This gap is attributed to different explanations depending on the angles from which it is viewed, amongst which is the average use of language learning strategies (LLS). Therefore, the current study attempts to find out and analyze the reasons why female and male students perform differently in the English classes in Oujda high schools. It also aims to discover who exploits LLS more in learning English as a foreign language. To effectively reach this goal, the researchers use a self-developed observation checklist to identify who outperforms the other and a structured interview to discern who uses LLS more effectively. As a result, two points emerged in this research paper. The current study attempts to find out about female-male differences in English attainment. Besides, it seeks explanations for male and female performance in the English classes in Oujda high schools. It also aims to discover who exploits LLS more in learning English as a foreign language. To fill this gap, a number of 960 students were observed, and 32 students were interviewed. The study is approached using the mixed-method of quantitative and qualitative design, where a descriptive approach is used. Data is gathered through both instruments observation and interviews in five high schools. To effectively reach this goal, the researchers use a self-developed observation checklist to identify who outperforms the other and a structured interview to discern who uses LLS more effectively. As a result, two points emerged in this research paper. First, this research paper proves that females outperform males in English classes. Second, females use more learning strategies than males. The researchers infer from the results that there is an attainment gap, namely, male students underachieve females

Évaluation de la qualité du processus de référentialisation des Classes de BTS au Maroc au regard des huit principes de la qualité de la Norme ISO9001 version 2008

Cet article présente l’étude de l’évaluation de la qualité du processus de référentialisation des formations BTS au Maroc déclenché suite à la mise en place d’une réforme pédagogique (2007-2010) choisissant d’opérationnaliser l’approche par compétences (APC). La réforme BTS, et plus particulièrement son processus de référentialisation, possède divers éléments qualitatifs qui lui confèrent tous les caractéristiques d’un système « quasi-qualité ». Pour analyser ces éléments nous nous appuyons sur les huit principes qualité adopté par la norme ISO 9001 version 2008. Lors de cette analyse, nous présentons chaque principe, l’adéquation de la réforme audit principe, et éventuellement les points faibles à améliore
