The Paradoxical Impact of New Technologies on Mental Health: Between Connection and Emotional Disconnection

Amazigh Madi — 2025-06-30

Digital technologies have standardized the expression of emotions (likes, emojis), reducing their complexity in favor of fast but superficial interactions. This “emotional digitalization” creates a paradox: constant hyperconnectivity coexists with growing loneliness, as virtual exchanges fail to fulfill the need for authenticity. Individuals fragment their identity between a “real self” and an idealized “digital self,” fueling anxiety and dependence on virtual rewards. While social networks exacerbate social pressure and cognitive overload, technologies also provide tools for well-being. The challenge is to design them ethically, prioritizing empathy rather than exploiting vulnerabilities. An “emotional ecology” must emerge, promoting authentic and regulated interactions where technologies serve as bridges between humans.

The aesthetics of ugliness and prostitution in the novel The Secret Reports of the Leader's State by the Tunisian novelist Manoubi Zeyoud

Ali Elboudjdidi — 2025-06-30

The article deals with the aesthetics of ugliness and prostitution in the
novel The Secret Reports of the Leader's State by the Tunisian novelist
Manoubi Zeyoud, a modern novel that deals with issues of politics and society and uses the lexicon of ugliness and prostitution. It is a modern novel that deals with issues of politics and society and uses the lexicon of prostitution and ugliness, as we find the narrator reviewing the world of the prostitute woman, digging into the world of the distorted politician, and delving into the distorted bodies in a comical and satirical way, exploring the semiotics of colors between whispering and exposure, and making sure to portray the characters of the novel carefully, focusing on their brutal nature. The importance of prostitution and ugliness, the most prominent theme of the novel, is evidenced by the fact that
the novel opens with a passage that perpetuates the image of filth, both in place and characters, as the city of prostitution has given up its soul to a group of new thieves, manifested in the prostitution of its characters, places, and time. In addition to the characters' immorality and ugliness, immorality and ugliness are also semiotically associated with blackness, a dark blackness that characterizes the novel's cover and is interrupted only by worn-out sheets that testify to the past and write in red ink confidential reports, which reveals from the outset the
novel's imaginary world and its contact with the reference and the living

Arabic digital search engines and their role in advancing the Arabic language and creating a knowledge society

Souad Abassi — 2025-06-30

Building Arabic digital content is a prerequisite for the advancement of Arab societies and their entry into the world of knowledge, especially in light of the digital divide between developing and developed societies, so building Arabic digital content has become an urgent necessity. Digital search engines are considered one of the most important options offered on the Internet. They are computer programs that make it easy for the Internet user to find documents and information stored on them. These digital engines were designed on the principle of searching for information and books in old libraries, so that a database is created that contains all indexes and information arranged according to a specific system. Through our paper, we seek to diagnose the status of the Arabic language in the map of knowledge societies, in other words, to identify its distant or near horizon in this field

The project of political salvation and the features of the savior in Ibadhi Imamate

Zouhair Tighlet — 2025-06-30

In our research, we aim to highlight the features of the salvationist thought in the Ibadhi sect, focusing on their foundational salvationist slogan : There is no rule except for God, and their political and doctrinal vision that challenges the Quraysh lineage of the political savior. We will seek to explore the identification among the Ibadis between the saved group and the political savior, which leads them to consider themselves the saved group tied to salvation and redemption. We will reveal the limitations of the Imamate of concealment, which did not form a true salvational political project for them because it failed to establish the experience of the state with sufficient depth and continuity, due to its fragmentation and isolation. This crisis led the Ibadis to think about saving their entity by focusing on the Imamate of concealment, which manifested in the development of the "Izzabah" system that established the rules for coexistence and the laws of belonging and exclusion. This system thus became their salvational project, modifying the lives of individuals both in their worldly and spiritual affairs. Our research, which combines analysis, deconstruction, interpretation, and synthesis in its methodology, concludes that the Ibadhi theory regarding the savior does not immerse itself much in metaphysical and mythical dimensions, but rather tends to humanly adapt to the savior rooted within the community.
