Cybersecurity in the Context of Moroccan Energy Companies

The aim of this research is to assess the level of maturity of Moroccan companies in the energy sector in terms of cybersecurity and to identify the factors influencing their abilities to implement effective security measures to address the risks associated with cyber-attacks. To achieve this, we have adopted an exploratory approach. A questionnaire was sent to energy sector companies in Morocco to investigate their cybersecurity practices. This entails examining the current security measures in place, security policies and procedures, as well as employee training programs. Furthermore, we are exploring the human and financial factors that can influence the ability of energy companies to implement effective security measures against cyberattacks. The results clearly indicate that most of these companies demonstrate a high level of maturity in terms of cybersecurity. However, several significant factors influence their ability to implement effective security measures. Among these factors, the lack of qualified personnel, the high costs associated with acquiring and implementing security technologies, as well as expenses related to training and awareness, can be mentioned

Recurrent myocardial infarction in a young cocaine abuser

Cocaine increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction. We herein describe a case of a 22-year-old man with a long history of cocaine abuse. He presented at our institution because of acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation. Emergency coronary angiography revealed ostial occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, which required desobstruction and implantation of a bare metal stent. Angioplasty was complicated 4 months later by in-stent restenosis requiring reintervention. This case highlights myocardial infarction as a cocaineinduced effect. Appropriate treatment and cessation of cocaine abuse may prevent cardiovascular complications and recurrences

Assessment of metal pollution in the river of Martil emerging in the western Moroccan Mediterranean. Mobility and impact of human activities

This study is part of a monitoring of the evolution of variations in time and space contents of metallic elements of surface waters of the river of Martil between two sampling campaigns (May 2010 and May 2011). The comparison of the results of metal analyzes of the two campaigns show different variations of the contents of metallic elements. The magnesium content increased almost 10 times, which highlights the intensity of activities that caused this increase for one year only. The concentrations of nickel and lead fell below standards and indicate a water medium to high quality, as the concentrations of aluminum, zinc and copper, which have been reduced compared to the 2010 campaign and are still very low and do not pose a threat so large. The concentration of cadmium also decreased slightly but remains high above the standard set which is 5 mg / l, which raises some concern about this element and its possible sources. For iron, its concentration was doubled, which is why it is a beginning of water contamination because the recorded values are between 1 and 2, indicating an average water quality

Hydatic Cyst of Brachialis Anterior Muscle: A Case Report

Musculoskeletal hydatid cysts are extremely rare and usually result from the spread of cysts from other areas of hydatidosis in the body. We present an unusual case of a primary hydatid cyst of the brachialis anterior muscle in a 30-year-old man, presenting as an enlarging soft-tissue tumour. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations revealed a bilocular cyst mass. The entire cyst was surgically removed, and histopathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Antihelminthic chemotherapy was given for six weeks. There has been no recurrence two years after surgery. To our knowledge, the brachialis anterior muscle is an unusual location of muscular hydatic cyst. The diagnosis must be kept in mind as well as other soft tissue tumours.
