This article explores the governance structures of the Mali and Gaabu Empires and compares them to the French colonial system of direct rule implemented in West Africa during the 19th and 20th centuries (Niane, 1965; Barry, 1998; Levtzion & Hopkins, 2000).
Le présent article présente les résultats empiriques d'une enquête de terrain menée auprès de la communauté Luba du Kasaï (RDC) sur les perceptions intergénérationnelles des technologies numériques et de l'intelligence artificielle (IA). À partir d'une méthodologie qualitative combinant entretiens semi-directifs approfondis (79 participants), focus groups intergénérationnels, observation participante et ethnographie numérique, l'étude met en lumière un clivage générationnel structurant.
Le présent article expose les fondements de la théorie du relativisme communicationnel, élaborée à partir d'une enquête de terrain approfondie menée auprès de la communauté Luba du Kasaï (RDC) sur les perceptions intergénérationnelles de l'intelligence artificielle.
Le présent article propose une discussion approfondie des résultats d'une enquête de terrain menée auprès de la communauté Luba du Kasaï (RDC) sur les perceptions intergénérationnelles de l'intelligence artificielle et les transformations culturelles induites par le numérique.
Le présent article explore les implications théoriques, méthodologiques et pratiques de la théorie du relativisme communicationnel, élaborée à partir d'une enquête de terrain auprès de la communauté Luba du Kasaï (RDC). Il déploie trois dimensions complémentaires : les outils opérationnels pour l'action communicationnelle, le dialogue avec les savoirs ancestraux comme ressources épistémiques, et le programme de recherche ouvert par cette théorie.
The changing nature of modern armed conflicts brings new challenges in the field of military neurosurgery. The purpose of this review article is to systematize knowledge on the epidemiology of neurosurgical injuries in different types of conflicts, present the ethical and legal frameworks of operation, and describe future technological directions. A literature review and synthesis method was used (2010–2025) in the fields of military medicine, neurosurgery, international humanitarian law, and medical ethics.
The present research article reviews a systematic study on the effects of cold-water exposure on human health on the basis of thermodynamics and hydrostatic pressure. Literature review suggests that repeated cold-water immersion on the human body is associated with boosting the immunity. Through rapid heat transfer and hydrostatic pressure–mediated circulatory shifts, cold-water immersion activates thermoregulatory and stress-adaptation pathways that are responsible for metabolic efficiency, and immune function.
Geometric patterns identified in spatial data after inspection are difficult to evaluate statistically. When hypotheses are formulated a posteriori, conventional tests can overestimate significance because exploratory choices are not accounted for. This problem is pronounced in small-N spatial point sets, where model flexibility and feature selection strongly influence outcomes.A constrained evaluation framework is applied to assess a posteriori geometric hypotheses in spatial data.
This study examined consumer motivations affecting the airing and consumption of local animation in Kenya, focusing on youth audiences aged 18–35. Despite the growth of the local animation industry, limited research had been conducted on audience preferences, gratifications, and the factors influencing the broadcast and reception of Kenyan animations.
This qualitative study explores the impact of screen time on the cognitive development of Early Childhood Development (ECD) learners in rural primary schools in Honde Valley, Mutare District of Zimbabwe. Guided by an interpretivist philosophy, the study gathered data from 60 participants identified as key informants. Data collection methods included interviews, focus group discussions, and observations, with thematic analysis used to identify patterns across the datasets.
