Traducteurs mineurs, valeurs sous-estimées Le cas d’Amédée Pichot
Étant une médiatrice entre les cultures, la traduction joue un rôle marquant dans le développement et l’évolution des sociétés. La place accordée au traducteur, considéré comme "le vrai révolutionnaire en littérature'', atteste la valeur de son travail de transfert des savoirs, des traditions et des modèles d'une langue à une autre. L’importance de la traduction littéraire, en tant que lien entre les différentes littératures, et plus largement entre les différentes cultures, vient du fait qu'elle fait circuler des idées, des connaissances et des cultures d'une société à une autre. Plusieurs écrivains insistent sur le rôle de la traduction qui n'est pas une transposition mot à mot du texte original au texte étranger. Le garant d'une fidèle traduction est sans doute le traducteur qui fait tous ses efforts pour transmettre le texte. Pour réussir dans sa tâche, il doit avoir connaissance de tout ce qui concerne non seulement le texte original mais aussi la culture de son auteur. La grande infiltration anglaise, que connaît la fin du XVIIe siècle et la première moitié du XIXe siècle, est faite grâce aux efforts non seulement de grands écrivains, mais aussi aux traducteurs mineurs. Cet article est consacré à un traducteur français dont le nom ne revient même pas à l’esprit. C’est Amédée Pichot. Il est l’un des hommes de lettres français qui se sont ouverts à la littérature britannique, mais qui reste peu connu de la majorité des Français. Ses efforts dans le domaine de la traduction sont les points principaux qui seront abordés dans la suite pour montrer comment il a enrichi la littérature française en révélant à ses contemporains de nouveaux aspects de la littérature anglaise. Les points qui seront examinés dans les pages suivantes sont: - La carrière littéraire d’Amédée Pichot. - Pichot traducteur. - Son rôle dans l’intégration de certains noms anglais en France. - L’importance de ses traductions.

Spatial Distribution of Intermediate Technical Education Institutes in Misurata Region in 2022
The study aims to analyze the spatial locations of technical and intermediate education institutes, and determine their distribution pattern in the Misurata region, and their importance in raising the educational level of the community, especially after the urban expansion that the city has witnessed in recent years and the extension of its outskirts towards the surrounding areas, and the increase in population. Intermediate education institutes represent optional education compared to secondary education, as post-preparatory education is acquired from the age of (16 to 20) years. The study also aims to employ geographic information systems in documenting the locations of institutes, distributing them and analyzing them to produce digital maps that can be updated, based on field surveys and simple random selection to analyze the sample representing the study community, in addition to using the global positioning device (GPS). The study revealed that the analysis of the spatial distribution pattern is a random, convergent, irregular pattern, and its unfairness in distribution and spread throughout the study area, i.e. there is a concentration in the numerical distribution of institutes and they vary in some of them in the study area. Recommendations were made for those concerned to take them into account, and work to address the future situation of the spread of institutes, and try to find a balance between the branches of the region, and take into account the population increase when opening new institutes.
Variation of Vegetation Cover Change in the Western Part of the Jaffara Plain Using the NDVI Greenness Index Form: 1992 through 2024
This study sought to detect and analyze the variation in vegetation cover change in the northwestern part of the Al-Jafara Plain during the period from 1992 AD to 2024 AD by employing remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems for the years 1992 - 2002 - 2013 - 2024 AD, respectively, to calculate the NDVI. It aims to the study is to clarify the change in the area of vegetation cover and to know the reasons leading to the increase in the encroachment of some types of use over others in the western Al-Jafara Plain for the period from 1992 to 2024 AD, to achieve the research objectives, we relied on the descriptive analytical method of satellite visuals to track these changes, analyze them spatially, and produce digital maps. The results of the study showed a clear deterioration in the state of vegetation cover due to economic activity and urban expansion at the expense of agricultural land, which clearly appears in areas close to the coastal strip, as well as misuse of agricultural land and lack of restriction and adherence to environmental laws and legislation, as well as a significant expansion in the area of marshes, especially with the beginning of the third decade of the second millennium.
Automated Cartographic Modelling of Environmental Risks in the Wadi Qattara Basin, Libya
The availability of modern spatial technologies has contributed to the possibility of conducting an environmental study of the Wadi al-Qattara Basin, by exploring and analyzing the various environmental risks that threaten the residents of the Wadi al-Qattara region, with a focus on the causes and repercussions resulting from human activities, and evaluating the environmental risks they may cause. Therefore, this research aimed to address the natural and human factors of the Wadi Qattara Basin area, which is to evaluate the spatial environmental suitability to determine the degree of risks, and determine the type of environmental risks that threaten it, by relying on the Arc Gis program (Arc Map 10.8), this study used high-resolution satellite images, satellite images of the digital elevation model of the region, as well as digital data in the OSM database, through the application of geographic information systems techniques, the creation of a geographic database for natural and human environmental risks, and automated cartographic modeling of those environmental risks, this study concluded that there are three types of risks: high-risk lands, medium-risk lands, and low-risk lands.
Morphometric Characteristics and their Hydrological Parameters in Wadi al-Raml Basin
Abstract: The study aims to reveal the morphometric characteristics of Wadi Al-Raml Basin, represented by the area, shape, topography and drainage network characteristics, and to analyze the spatial relationships between the characteristics and deduce the most important morphometric variables of the basin, with the production of hydrological maps of the basin that help understand the characteristics of the valley. This is done by relying on the digital elevation model (DEM). The study followed the analytical, quantitative and descriptive approach in order to analyze and extract morphometric data from the digital elevation model. The study came out with a set of results, the most prominent of which is that the area of Wadi Al-Raml Basin is 242 km2, which is a small area compared to the area of other valleys, and that the valley passes through three terrain areas, which are the mountainous area, the plain area and the sloping area between the Tarhuna Mountains and the coastal plain. The maximum length of the valley reached 41 km, and the shape of the valley tends to be elongated, as the elongation of the valley basin indicates that the basin is passing through the beginning of the erosion cycle, where regressive erosion processes prevail along the course. The ruggedness ratio in the Wadi Al Raml basin reached (12.4), which is a high ratio indicating that the valley is in the early stages of the erosion cycle. As for the discharge density in the valley, it reached (1.8), which is a low density due to the small area of the upper sources of the basins in relation to the total area.
Applying the Wind Cooling Hypothesis to Measure Human Comfort in Syria
The research aims to characterize the months and seasons of the year in the studied locations as either hot, warm, refreshingly gentle, transitioning to cold, tending to cold, or cold. It also seeks to display the spatial distribution of human comfort during the seasons and identify the general trend of these values during the study period. Furthermore, it aims to determine the relationship between the wind cooling hypothesis and its mathematical elements (temperature and wind speed) to identify the primary factor influencing these values. The research employed the inductive, descriptive, quantitative, and mathematical methods. Additionally, it utilized the explanatory and reasoning methods, and various tables, figures, and maps were created using computer programs such as SPSS, Excel, and Arc Map. According to the wind cooling hypothesis, the summer season is generally considered pleasant in most parts of Syria, while spring and fall are cold seasons, and winter is notably cold. However, the Syrian desert and the Jazira experience the warmest temperatures throughout the year, and the Syrian coast is relatively warmer in winter. The values of this index tend to decrease over the study period, indicating an increase in pleasant or warm weather. The index values show an inverse relationship with temperature and a direct relationship with wind speed. The findings of this research are crucial for planning social, tourism, economic, or military activities, as considering them prior to an event could reduce the costs of weather adaptation during the event.
Intellectual Transformations and Their Impact on Christian Doctrine in the Third Century AD
This study addresses the role of the School of Theology, established in the third century AD, in shaping Christian theological thought. The school emerged in a culturally rich environment characterized by the influences of Greek philosophy, particularly Aristotelian logic, which helped to develop a rational approach to the study of religious texts. One of the most notable features of the school was its focus on the literal interpretation of texts and rejection of symbolic interpretations, leading to the formation of a theological identity marked by clarity and precision. Prominent figures emerged, such as Bishop Theophilus of Antioch, who was a defender of the Christian faith against heresies, and Paul of Samosata, whose views on the nature of Christ sparked widespread controversy. Paul denied the Trinity, which resulted in significant internal conflicts that affected the unity of the Church. The study aims to analyze the fundamental principles upon which the Antiochene School was founded and how it contributed to the formation of Christian doctrine. It also focuses on the theological disputes that arose from intellectual differences, leading to the convening of church councils in an effort to achieve doctrinal unity. Through a historical-analytical methodology, the study offers a comprehensive view of how philosophical thought interacted with religion and how the school contributed to the formation of new opinions regarding Christian doctrine. Additionally, it examines the impact of these disputes on the unity of the Church and its social and political relations, illustrating how intellectual differences can lead to profound divisions that affect the stability of the Church.

Aesthetic Manifestations of Antithesis in the Context of Poetic Imagery: Selected Models
There is no doubt that nothing is more capable of understanding the essence of the experience, and shaping the poet's position on reality according to his aesthetic perception than the poetic image represented in simile, metaphor and metonymy. One of the manifestations of the artistic formation of the poetic image was its blending with many rhetorical styles, including antithesis - one of the rhetorical styles - as it was manifested in the image with abundances of magnificence and beauty, which made it more possible in the soul, and more eloquent in depiction, as it was formulated with brilliance that dazzled the contemplator, and revealed general truths of the soul, which achieved integration between the d an undeniable artistic value in presenting meanings, and its effect appears most when it is an element in drawing it, and shading it with more wonderful artistic shades; The poems came as paintings rich in the colors of rhetorical beauty; announcing to the recipient that the image increases in strength upon strength and beauty upon beauty if it is formulated in another rhetorical system, and that it is necessary to invest in this wonderful artistic color, and to show the possibility of matching it as required by the situation.
The Syllable in Arabic: Its Structure and Development
The research deals with a syllable in Arabic, the syllable in Arabic is characterized by its continuous development. Al-Farabi had a clear influence in naming some types of syllables, including the short syllable, the long syllable, and the closed syllable. He also played a role in launching some terms in this field, such as the term vowels, the voiced, and the unvoiced consonant. He also confirmed the equality of the time of pronouncing letters and vowels unless the vowels are extended. Since this stage, the syllable was not characterized by stability, but rather we find new terms and new forms for it, such as the closed, extended, silent syllable, the open, extended syllable, the closed, extended syllable, and the semi-movement syllable. The Arabic syllable is characterized by flexibility, as it accepts change at its beginning without regard to the type of sound with which it begins, and it accepts change at its end, whether by deletion, merging into another, division or splitting. The open, intermediate syllable accepts extension and contraction according to the conditions imposed by the phonetic rules, and the closed, extended, silent syllable only comes as a stop.

Investigating Difficulties that EFL Students Face in English Pronunciation in Secondary Schools in Ghat-Libya
The current study was designed to investigate the pronunciation issues encountered by foreign language learners in Ghat, south-west Libya. The findings have important implications for understanding students' English pronunciation problems. This study employs qualitative research methods to acquire an extensive understanding of a topic. This study used two data collection tools: observation and a pronunciation test. During the observation, the initial ideas and perceptions were documented, and the verbal data was collected for further analysis. The data were gathered from three secondary schools in Ghat that teach English as a foreign language in approximately four lessons per week. The test consisted of ten sentences and was administered to five secondary school students. According to the study, the most common pronunciation challenges among EFL students are a) vowel sound confusion, b) consonant sound confusion, and c) inflectional morpheme errors. Students commonly use the sound /ɪ/ for front vowels and the sound /ɒ/ for back-rounded vowels and fail to pronounce central vowels due to problems in predicting pronunciation. Additionally, the survey found that the most prevalent consonant issues are p, f, v, ð, θ, z, ʃ, and ʧ. Finally, students frequently pronounce /s/ at the end of regular plural nouns; insert /ɪ/ before /s/ or /z/ in plural nouns, and before /d/ in past verbs, regardless of the preceding phonemes. Consequently, the researchers concluded that EFL students in Ghat secondary schools frequently pronounce the alphabet letter as written, failing to predict its pronunciation when the letter has numerous pronunciations.

The Role of Restorative Justice in Achieving Social Peace: The Libyan Case as Model
All countries of the world seek to achieve stability within their societies, which requires diligent efforts to achieve peace and peaceful coexistence among their citizens. The law is an effective regulatory means in resolving disputes and conflicts between individuals and groups. Therefore, legal development must be based on diagnosing social reality and analyzing its data in order to ensure the achievement of social and legal security in parallel. In view of the state of fragmentation and instability that our Libyan society is going through today due to the spread of the culture of violence and fanaticism and the spread of chaos in all its institutions, which has made the application of traditional justice insufficient for its desired purpose. In this paper, we have tried to shed light on the concept of restorative justice, its justifications and mechanisms for applying it in our Libyan society, and to adopt the principle of reconciliation in accordance with cultural specificity and social structure in order to resolve the existing conflicts and problems radically in line with the principle of restorative and consensual settlement based on reparation of harm and compensation for victims so that the spirit of affection and tolerance prevails. Security and stability prevail. The importance of this paper lies in defining the concept of social peace, and the role of restorative justice in achieving it, in addition to the obstacles and challenges that prevent the achievement of national reconciliation. Therefore, the descriptive analytical method was used by stating and clarifying those concepts, principles, obstacles and challenges that prevent the achievement of the desired forest. A number of results have been reached that show that applying restorative justice is required at this stage and an urgent necessity in supporting and consolidating social peace.

This study aims to analyze the reality of trends in the determinants of Libyan family size. The city of Sousse was taken as a model that expresses the factors that contributed to determining the level of Libyan family size. In collecting data for the subject of the study, population censuses from 1973 to 2006 were taken, with a sample of 50 people being taken. A member of the study population was distributed to a questionnaire containing 23 questions to fill in the missing data that could not be obtained from the theoretical framework. In its methodology, the study relied on a combination of more than one method, including the historical method that was relied upon to track the changes that occurred in family size in the study area, and the analytical method that was relied upon in analyzing the data, which was collected from the theoretical framework and the field study by using statistical techniques used in Analyzing social and demographic data and drawing conclusions from them.The results of the study showed that there is a group of determinants that led to a decrease in family size in the study area, the most important of which are the social determinants, including the woman’s first marital age and the high educational level of women. Then comes the second economic determinants, including the level of family income and female involvement in the workforce, then in last place are the demographic determinants, which had no effect in regulating family size, such as the fertility rate, the natural and unnatural increase in the population, and the change in place of residence and marital status of the population.
