La présente étude menée en 2024 vise à évaluer les divers outils déployés par l’école marocaine, particulièrement dans les sciences de la vie et de la terre au cycle collégial en vue de sensibiliser les jeunes apprenants aux problèmes de changement climatique. Pour cela, nous avons analysé largement le curriculum et les manuels scolaires des SVT du cycle collégial au Maroc. Les résultats ont...
Dans un contexte de transition numérique accélérée, l’intelligence artificielle (IA) apparaît comme un catalyseur de transformation économique, susceptible d’attirer des investissements directs étrangers (IDE) et de redessiner les équilibres territoriaux. Le Maroc, engagé dans plusieurs chantiers de digitalisation et d’attractivité économique, présente un terrain d’étude pertinent pour...
The war-induced environmental devastation in Gaza has generated an unprecedented accumulation of over 40 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, posing an acute threat to public health, ecosystems, and regional stability. This research proposes a novel, interdisciplinary model that reframes this waste crisis as an opportunity for circular economy implementation and climate...
Combating food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa requires the identification of alternative, accessible, and sustainable nutritional sources. In this context, edible insects, already traditionally consumed in various regions of Africa, offer considerable potential as a local nutritional solution that is environmentally friendly and suitable for agroecological systems. This study aims to...
Cutanueous leishmaniasis is a negleacted tropical disease that is widely distributed in Morocco. As is a multifactorial parasitic disease, it needs a multidisciplinary approach to reduce it. Enviromental factors can contribute the persistence of the disease through distribution of vectors and reservoirs. In addition, anthroponotic factors such as urbanization, demography and vulnerability of...
Anthracnose is one of the main fungal diseases affecting olive trees (Olea europaea L.). It is caused by different species of fungi belonging to the genus Colletotrichum, in particular Colletotrichum acutatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This disease, aggravated by the effects of climate change, has a significant impact on the production and profitability of the olive oil sector...
The growing interest in low-cost building materials, thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and the reduction of CO₂ emissions encourages the use of local and renewable resources, particularly compressed earth and agricultural waste. In this context, the present study investigates the valorization of date palm waste for the production of compressed earth bricks specifically intended for the...
Climate change, rapid urbanization, and rising sea levels are increasingly exacerbating flood risks in coastal regions such as Essaouira, Morocco. To address these challenges, this study presents an integrated flood susceptibility mapping framework that combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and four machine learning models: Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network...
The study investigates the dynamic and asymmetric effects of economic growth and energy consumption on environmental quality in Morocco over the period 1984–2022, drawing on the theoretical framework of the Load Capacity Curve (LCC). Environmental quality is proxied by the load capacity factor, a composite indicator that captures the pressure exerted by human activity on the ecological system....
Dans un monde où les crises climatiques, sanitaires et économiques s’enchaînent à un rythme inquiétant, une réalité s’impose : les petites et moyennes entreprises, bien qu’elles soient au cœur de nos économies, sont souvent laissées à elles-mêmes face à ces bouleversements. Au Maroc, les PME représentent un pilier essentiel du développement local, mais leur vulnérabilité est flagrante. Une...
Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, is a major threat to olive (Olea europaea) production worldwide. In susceptible cultivars, the disease can cause yield losses of up to 89%, severely impacting the olive oil industry and ecosystem stability. The pathogen invades the xylem vessels, resulting in vascular dysfunction, chlorosis, wilting, defoliation, and...
De nos jours, il est largement reconnu que le changement climatique représente une menace sérieuse pour la santé publique mondiale. En raison de facteurs biologiques, sociaux et économiques, les personnes âgées sont plus exposées à ce risque. Bien qu'il existe de nombreuses recherches sur les effets du changement climatique sur la santé des personnes âgées dans les revues internationales, peu...
Agricultural production in Morocco's semi-arid regions is limited by a combination of critical challenges, including severe water scarcity and ongoing soil degradation. These factors lead to a cycle of diminishing productivity that threatens the sustainability of current farming systems and requires a strategic shift towards more resilient, high-value crops. Moringa oleifera Lam., a species...
