The recent non-marine ostracods of tunisia: An updated checklist with remarks on their regional distribution patterns and ecological preferences
2020
Different lines of investigation have recently contributed to increasing the available knowledge about the invertebrates inhabiting inland waters of north Africa, but a comprehensive synopsis on Tunisian Ostracoda is missing to date. An updated checklist of Recent non-marine ostracods from Tunisia and data on their distribution is thus offered here, representing the most extensive survey on this crustacean group ever carried out in inland waters throughout the country. One-hundred-five sites covering various climate zones, from Mediterranean to desert areas, were sampled between 2002 and 2012. Most of the considered water bodies were temporary or ephemeral habitats, but a few permanent site…
Engager une réflexion sur les espaces et leur utilisation pour ne pas “perdre le nord” (ni le sud)
2011
International audience; Colloque AUF Rabat-Kénitra, Maroc (31-10 / 2-11 2011) Dans le cadre de la thématique de ce colloque, la question est : comment l’élaboration, l’interrogation et la diffusion des littératures et cultures « aux suds », et non « du sud » ou « des suds » peuvent-elles permettre une réorientation des travaux et des relations ? Aux suds : il est question d’une localisation, laquelle est plurielle, donc vécue, puisque tout dépend d’où on se place pour parler de sud. Tandis que « du » ou même « des suds » évoque l’orientation centre-périphérie, venue de Fernand Braudel et Samir Amin, entre autres, soit une vision à dominante géopolitique et économique. Pour répondre à la que…

Taxonomy and evolution of the Convolvulus sabatius complex (Convolvulaceae)
2010
A revision of the Convolvulus sabatius complex is presented and five taxa are now recognised. Convolvulus valentinus is re-circumscribed to comprise only blue-flowered individuals. Yellow-flowered plants previously referred to this species are transferred to C. supinus where they are recognised as a distinct variety: C. supinus var. melliflorus, comb nov. Variation in intensity of flower colour, pubescence and leaf shape among blue-flowered C. valentinus is highly variable within populations and in contrast to earlier treatments, no infraspecific taxa based on these traits are recognised. Despite suggestions to the contrary, the delimitation of the cultivated ornamental C. sabatius and its …
The effects of post-orogenic extension on different scales: an example from the Apennine-Maghrebide fold-and-thrust belt, SW Sicily
2003
Many structures produced under one single deformation regime, namely extensional, contractional or strike-slip, exhibit remarkable geometrical analogies when analysed at different scales. By contrast, field examples that illustrate the scale effects on structures resulting from superimposed deformations, which were produced under different tectonic regimes, are rare. Yet the change from contraction to extension is known to occur often in the most thickened portions of the continental crust. The Apennine–Maghrebide fold-and-thrust belt of Sicily shows many examples of post-orogenic extensional deformations. Composite structures, resulting from late normal faults that offset folds and thrusts…
Sedimentary basins evolution and olistoliths formation: The case of Carpathian and Sicilian regions
2012
Abstract Comparative research carried out within two different basins, one in the Carpathians of Poland (Late Jurassic to Early Miocene) and another in the Apenninic-Maghrebian mountain chain of Sicily (Triassic-Miocene), indicate significant similarity not only in their evolution but also in the sedimentary features of horizons with olistoliths. The olistolith-bearing units are genetically related to stages of tectonic evolution and are independent of the size of the basins and of duration of these stages. However, the observed differences in composition and size of olistoliths suggested, among the others relationship with the size of source areas and thickness of their sedimentary cover.
Gościnność w kulturze/kulturach Maghrebu
2018
The paper attempts to investigate hospitality in various dimensions and contexts. The introduction includes a description of terminology in Polish and French, together with the relationship between hospitality and culture. The next part focuses on hospitality analysed from the point of view of philosophy, anthropology and sociology. The generał discussion of hospitality as a wide sociocultural phenomenon serves as a basis tor the presentation of constructs connected with places both private and public, architecturally specific, and inspired by religion, tradition and culture. The realistic dimension expressed in ceremonies connected with hospitality, celebrations and gift exchanges tums out…
Oblicza karnawału w krajach Maghrebu. Zarys problemu
2018
W artykule została podjęta próba ukazania specyfiki widowisk kulturowych w Maghrebie. Prezentacja problemu została skupiona na karnawałach klasycznych/tradycyjnych i współczesnych/zinstytucjonalizowanych. Karnawały klasyczne wyróżnia hierarchiczność, rywalizacja, a także tworzenie wspólnotowości. Wpisują się one również w działania mające na celu manifestowanie tradycji, identyfikacji i przynależności. Natomiast widowisk współczesne/zinstytucjonalizowane powiązane są z przestrzenią miasta lub ośrodkiem turystycznym; odsłaniają biznesowy i komercyjny charakter. Ich powszechność i popularność można tłumaczyć przekraczaniem granic lokalnych, państwowych, jak w przypadku karnawału berberskiego,…
