Certaines violences à l'encontre des femmes, notamment la polygamie abusive, trouvent encore justification dans des interprétations religieuses déformées. Face à cela, le Maroc a progressivement renforcé son cadre juridique depuis la Moudawana de 2004, qui imposait déjà l'autorisation judiciaire et l'équité entre épouses. Malgré ces avancées, des défis persistent comme les mariages non déclarés, les pressions sociales sur les femmes et les disparités d'application par les tribunaux. C'est pourquoi, les récents amendements durcissent encore les conditions en restreignant la polygamie aux cas exceptionnels validés par le juge, et possibilité de clause de monogamie. Ces réformes reflètent une volonté d'équilibrer respect des traditions et protection des droits des femmes, même si leur efficacité réelle dépendra d'une application rigoureuse et d'un changement des mentalités.
This article examines the body as a site of identity construction and social inequalities, focusing on gender and its interaction with urban space. Body image serves as an indicator of how individuals relate to themselves and others, shaped by aesthetic norms, media, and social environment. Gender socialization imposes differentiated expectations on male and female bodies, with women facing stronger pressure to meet standards of beauty and youth. Urban spaces, by regulating mobility and visibility, amplify these inequalities, making women’s presence more constrained and potentially risky. The study demonstrates that the effort to “be oneself” goes beyond aesthetics, reflecting a continuous negotiation between social norms, personal identity, and spatial appropriation. The body thus emerges as both an instrument and a stake, revealing contemporary social relations and power dynamics.
Coastal zones are of exceptional importance in Sri Lanka due to the island with a broad coastline. However, both natural dynamics and increasing human interventions have accelerated changes along the coastline, resulting in serious environmental, social, and economic impacts. This study investigates the causes of coastal erosion and the long-term challenges associated with it, with especially emphasis on the Hikkaduwa Divisional Secretariat Division in the Galle District. The data required for DSAS, NDVI, and NDBI analyses were obtained through field-based questionnaire surveys, interviews, and USGS satellite imagery from 2004, 2005, 2014, and 2024. The results indicate a significant transformation in land-use and land-cover patterns since 2004, marked by a decline in vegetation cover and a substantial increase in built-up areas within the study area. This rapid built-up expansion has intensified pressure on demand for coastal resources and infrastructure, thereby aggravating erosion challenges. The study provides important insights into the current status of coastal erosion in Hikkaduwa and highlights its long-term challenges for sustainable regional development and the enhancement of community-based tourism initiatives in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.
This study aims to analyze the relationship between Company Size and Profitability with Audit Report Lag and evaluate the role of the Audit Committee as a moderating variable. This study was conducted on non-primary consumer goods companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2024. Purposive sampling was used to collect data, resulting in 124 observations as the research sample. This quantitative study used secondary data obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing using SPSS Version 25. The findings of this study indicate that company size has a positive effect on audit report lag, while profitability has a negative effect on audit report lag. Meanwhile, the audit committee is able to moderate the relationship between profitability and audit report lag but is unable to moderate the relationship between company size and audit report lag.
This study aims to support inclusive and sustainable industry practices by designing an ergonomic assistive device for wheelchair users operating buttonhole machines. Using a participatory approach, a morphological chart, and the Pugh method, six design concepts were developed and evaluated. The optimal design, Concept III, incorporates iron material, a by-wire mechanism, and a pull-type lever. Evaluation using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) showed a reduction in musculoskeletal complaints among all respondents. The total estimated manufacturing cost is Rp266,278, consisting of Rp71,898 for materials, Rp150,000 for processing, and Rp44,380 for overhead. This low-cost, minimal-maintenance solution aligns with the principles of social and technical sustainability and is appropriate for small and medium-sized enterprises.
A comfortable work environment is a critical factor in supporting worker productivity, especially in creative industries that require high levels of concentration and precision. This study aims to analyze the effects of light intensity and music genre on the productivity of workers at Shutterhood Creative, a creative service company engaged in photography, videography, and content design. The research method used is an experimental factorial design (4×3), involving two factors: light intensity (90, 100, 110, and 300 lux) and music genre (jazz, pop, and rock). A total of 8 participants were involved in 12 treatment combinations. Productivity was measured based on the quantity of photo editing tasks completed within a 30-minute session, and subjective fatigue levels were assessed using a Likert scale questionnaire. The results show that light intensity has a significant effect on productivity, with the optimal level found at 110 lux. While the music genre did not show a statistically significant effect, jazz music descriptively provided better comfort and lower perceived fatigue. The interaction between both variables was not statistically significant. These findings highlight the importance of proper lighting and auditory atmosphere settings as part of cognitive ergonomics in creating a productive and comfortable work environment.
