Organic Law 23-14 Relating to Information and the Challenges of Artificial Intelligence

DJELLOUL Bakhadda — 2026-05-24

The challenges of the rapid technological revolution, which have affected all aspects of human life, whether social, cultural, political, or economic, have imposed themselves directly or indirectly, and all the societies composing this world, with its multiple customs, cultures, and orientations, have interacted with them. Due to the individual’s thirst for information and the pursuit of obtaining it by various means, whether governmental or private, and in line with the development of society and the informational chaos, which has become largely directed toward society, it has become necessary to keep legal texts relating to the media in line with the developments taking place, especially what is known as artificial intelligence. This term has captured the minds of all those passionate about knowledge and has recently appeared in news bulletins, to the extent that there is a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence in some countries. Algeria, through its amendment of the media law, is supposed to keep pace with developments in this field. Accordingly, the following question arises: To what extent has Organic Law 23-14 relating to the media interacted with the challenges of artificial intelligence?

The Problematic of Legal Compliance and Ethical Responsibility in the Organizational Environment

Hechache Hanane — 2026-05-24

The authority of an organization or institution requires a legal system to which the individuals working within it must adhere. The proper management and success of the institution depend on two basic factors: compliance with laws and organizational regulations as an imposed bureaucratic procedure, and ethical responsibility as a personal choice stemming from the individual’s values. Each of these is linked, on the one hand, to the management style and the economic nature of the institution, and, on the other hand, to the individual’s culture and value system. This is what management systems in most institutions focus on, as their success or failure depends on it. However, what is observed in the Algerian institution is that compliance with the law is completely absent under a culture of non-submission, because adherence to legal regulations is considered a weakness and a diminution of one’s value and status. Likewise, the individual’s ethical responsibility toward his work is marked by a value-based defect, which is considered the result of practices that were, and still are, prevalent in the organizational environment.

The United Nations and the Imperatives for Implementing the Rules of International Development Law

Nesrine Nemouchi — 2026-05-24

This article examines the United Nations’ role in promoting and operationalizing international development law, with particular emphasis on the normative and institutional architecture through which development has been framed as a shared international objective and a human right. It analyses key instruments such as the 1986 Declaration on the Right to Development and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, alongside the contributions of UN organs including ECOSOC and UNDP in shaping policy guidance and disseminating development norms.The study finds that, despite significant normative consolidation, implementation remains structurally constrained by the predominantly soft-law character of international development law, donor-driven financing patterns, and asymmetric power relations within the UN system. It concludes that strengthening compliance requires more binding monitoring mechanisms and more inclusive participation of developing countries in agenda-setting and development governance.

Epidemiological Profile, Anthropometric Indicators, and Risk Factors of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries Among Male Athletes: An Extensible Descriptive-Exploratory Study in Chlef Wilaya

Ziane Lahouari — 2026-05-24

Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries present a critical structural and functional threat to athletes, often necessitating surgical intervention and inducing long-term joint instability. Objective: This extensible study investigated the epidemiological characteristics, anthropometric indicators, workload variables, and environmental factors associated with ACL tears among male athletes in Chlef Wilaya. Methodology: A descriptive-exploratory cross-sectional design was applied to a baseline sample of N = 36 male injured athletes. Precise physical parameters and injury environmental dynamics were processed using JAMOVI (v2.4). Both descriptive metrics and inductive statistics via Pearson’s Chi-Square (χ²) were deployed. Results: The cohort exhibited a mean BMI of 24.16 ± 2.98 kg/m². Team sports—specifically Handball (55.6\%) and Soccer (36.1\%)—predominated the sample. Critically, 63.9\% of ACL tears occurred on high-friction Multi-sports halls and 25.0\% on Artificial grass during active exercise (97.2\%). Inductive analysis revealed a statistically significant association between the flooring type where the tear occurred and the sport discipline (χ² = 38.6, p < 0.001). Conclusion: ACL failure in Chlef is highly multifactorial, driven by elevated mechanical loading and interaction with high-torque synthetic and turf fields. This registry remains open for prospective database expansions.

Conflict of Interest as a Significant Aspect in Tree Planting to Support Green Infrastructure in Cultural Landscape

Milena MOYZEOVÁ — 2026-05-30

The aim of this paper is to present landscape ecological research on green infrastructure in the cultural landscape of Slovakia. Part of the methodological procedure is a proposal for greening the landscape with non-forest woody vegetation. The function of non-forest woody vegetation is determined based on the value of ecological stability and specified conflicts of interest. We differentiated the territory of Slovakia according to variations in ecological stability of the cadastral territories of urban and rural settlements of the Slovak Republic (i) and the identified conflicts of interest between positive and negative socio-economic phenomena (ii). We proposed such functions of non-forest woody vegetation in the specified regions so that the heritage features are restored to the greatest extent possible and the traditional character of the territory with a high-quality living environment and a rich diversity of plant and animal species is preserved (iii). The proposed functions of non-forest woody vegetation in areas of real conflicts of interest will mitigate the negative impacts of stress factors on humans, soil, water, forest and biotic resources and contribute to increasing ecological stability and improving the overall ecological state of ecosystems in the given regions.

The Effect of Training Age of Under-19 Football Players on Some Physiological Variables of the Cardiocirculatory System (Heart Rate - Blood Pressure)

Abdeldjelil chahrazed — 2026-05-30

This study aimed to identify the effect of training age on some physiological variables of the cardiovascular system, namely resting heart rate, post-exercise heart rate, and post-recovery heart rate for one minute, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the same periods, in under-19 football players. The researcher used the descriptive method with correlation and comparison techniques, as it was suitable for the nature of the study. To confirm the problem and its existence, the researcher conducted a pilot study, which showed that players with more training age had a better understanding of heart rate levels and training loads, as evidenced by their heart rate and its variations during training phases, compared to those with less training age.

To verify the validity, reliability, and objectivity of the tests and measurements used in the study, the researcher conducted a pilot study on a random sample of 19 players. The results showed that the tests demonstrated a high degree of validity, reliability, and objectivity.

In the main study, the researcher used a sample of 98 players under 19 years of age, representing 8 teams from the east, west, central, and southern regions of Skikda province. These players were selected purposively. The researcher relied on physiological measurements and physical tests in the main study. The physiological measurements consisted of measuring heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest, immediately after exertion, and finally after a one-minute recovery period.

The results showed that...

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (resting heart rate).

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (heart rate and systolic blood pressure after exertion).

- Differences exist between under-19 football players according to their training age groups in functional variables (diastolic blood pressure after exertion).
