In the pH range 1.8-7.5 the observed single irreversible reduction wave is assigned to the splitting of the N-N bond and reduction of C=N centre. In alkaline medium, a second wave appears at a more negative potential due to the reduction of the salicylaldehyde which is formed by hydrolytic decomposition of the SAPH molecule. The effect of pH on the limiting current and E1/2 as well as the reduction mechanism are discussed and compared with similar compounds. The kinetic parameters of the electrode reaction have been calculated. The analytical properties of the copper(II)-SAPH system is described. The complex gave rise to a single irreversible well-defined wave (E1/2-0.58 V at pH-5.2). The reaction process is diffusion controlled. A method is suggested for the determination of Cu(II) in presence of different metal ions as the difference in their E1/2 values is sufficient for the purpose.

Les villes sont-elles porteuses de bouleversements qui modifient les pratiques traditionnelles ? Sont-elles des lieux d’émancipation, de mixité et d’égalité pour les femmes ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles est consacré ce numéro d’Égypte/Monde arabe qui tente de faire le point sur la situation actuelle dans divers pays du monde méditerranéen. Les textes de cet ouvrage bilingue abordent ces questions sous divers angles : la mobilité des femmes dans la ville et l’utilisation qu’elles ont de l’espace urbain ; la sécurité et les relations sociales dans la ville ; la place des femmes dans la gestion urbaine et dans les systèmes de gouvernance. L’analyse comparative des contextes différents et la diversité des cas traités apportent un regard neuf et un éclairage enrichissants sur les évolutions sociales et politiques récentes. Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions qui ont été présentées, en avri...

All the foregoing has produced a state of extremism towards the Christians of the Arab East as an essential component of Arab societies, thereby causing their exodus outside their countries, whether Iraq or Syria. The question presents itself: Are the events of the Arab Spring responsible for the exodus of the Christians of the East? Or is the matter related to the religious discourse and the school curricula which inculcate in the minds of students and youth what makes them reach this state of violence and extremism towards the other? The study has concluded that extremism and violence are a direct consequence of the official discourse, whether in the mosque, or school, alongside encouragement or at least a tacit acceptance by the Arab political regimes of those forms of conduct which may be utilized as a "religious card" to obtain internal political legitimacy on the one hand, while highlighting their role as a "protector" of religious and ethnic minorities on the other.

The study reached two conclusions: First: As a consequence of the feeling of "collective danger" which assaulted the world and humanity, there arose an orientation among intellectuals and thinkers advocating a return to "common roots" which unify humanity, and which impel it...

The said Message seeks to expound a vision characterized by flexibility and openness based on the Islamic Religion in terms of the values of tolerance and humanism which it embodies, especially after the "phenomenon" of religious extremism in the Arab and Muslim world metamorphasized from a "domestic issue" in the shadow of the bipolar international system into an "international phenomenon" with the demise of the Cold War, and the unipolar hegemony of the United in the world, in addition to the September 11, 2001 bloody events, which are considered as among the most important manifestations of the reality of this transformation. Jordan exploited the absence of Arab and Islamic initiatives representing the "silent majority" in those countries by launching this Message, particularly given that it possessed two sources of legitimacy: religious legitimacy represented in the connection between the Hashemite family and the Prophet Muhammad, the prophet of Islam; and political legitimacy represented in the experience of Muslim-Christian coexistence in Jordan. Notwithstanding the fact that this "religio-political" initiative did not achieve its aims as intended by its exponents, either because of competition between Arab and Muslim countries to represent Muslims and to speak in their name, or due to technological weaknesses in the media and means of communication to convey the Message to all corners of the world, it was actually capable of presenting a religious and political discourse dealing with the dialogue of civilizations that merited analysis, discussion and interest.

To understand the relationship between these two events and to analyze them from a political and intellectual viewpoint, the analysis must expand to include the role of the media, especially the “alternative media”, and its impact as an important weapon in the hands of this “extremist” Islamic organization. Al-Qaida, which existed in the middle of 1990, pledged to use all political and military means and media (De Cessole, 2012, p.74) to fight what was called “the far enemy”, i.e. the West and its allies, particularly the US (Kepel, 2004, p.113). The latter had emerged victorious from the ‘cold war’ that had lasted for more than half of a century and had ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc, and the dominance of liberal concepts: democracy, human r...

Cette activite lui a rapidement permis de penetrer les cercles de pouvoirs politiques egyptiens et, avec l'arrivee de nasser en 1952, de participer activement au regime revolutionnaire. Cette eriode lui a permis en tant que redacteur en chef du journal al ahram d'etre le porte-parole semi officiel du regime de nasser. Sa fidelite a nasser reste intacte jusqu'a la mort de ce dernier en 1970 avec sadate, heikal a dirige la campagne electorale du futur president. Mais, avec l'expulsion des experts sovietiques en 1972, et surtout les options de sadate sur le probleme de la paix avec israel depuis la guerre de 1973, en passant par la visite de sadate a jerusalem en 1977, leurs relations se deteriorent definitivement. Heikal devient tres critique a l'egard de sadate et de sa politique. Ces differentes positions fit d&#...

What is the role of the political authorities in this new press and its new role? Starting from this somewhat general question, this study analyses the development of a Al-Rai, a Jordanian daily newspaper, as an example of the Arab press in general, and the Jordanian press in particular. It is the 'newspaper of the authorities' and their semi-official porte parole. It is considered as representative of the third generation of Jordanian press, which is based on somewhat large media institutions. Finally, Al-Rai is Jordan's leading newspaper in sales and advertising, and in 1999 it was the Arabic newspaper that is most read on the Internet. The study will analyse the reasons behind the establishment of this newspaper in 1971, its movement from the public to the private sector and back, as well as the tools that the political authorities used to pressure and control it, including closure and appropriation. The study will also review changes in the Jordanian press, (including Al-Rai) produced by the process of democratisation at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. These changes included new legislation as well as advances in Information and Communications Technology and their effect on journalists and their professional performance.

La contestation, ras-semblant l'opposition « traditionnelle » et ce qu'on a appelé les « nouveaux mouvements sociaux », a ouvert la voie à un processus de libéralisation politique.

La Jordanie est en proie à deux crises au moins : crise d'un régime contesté par une opposition vigoureuse, au premier rang de laquelle se trouvent les islamistes ; crise économique qui se traduit par un fort endettement et un marasme social. Cet article met en exergue le caractère fondamentalement économique des soulèvements contre le pouvoir central-certes plus discret qu'ailleurs : leur occurrence dans les petits et moyens centres urbains (depuis les événements de Ma'an en 1989) atteste d'une dégradation des privilèges jusque-là accordés par le régime hachémite aux membres des tribus jordaniennes, à l'origine de la rupture du contrat d'allégeance. I t appears that the contemporary history and development of the Jordanian cities of Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, and Karak is linked, like other cities of the world, with the political history of the modern state. The latter was the direct cause of the crises The crisis of the center with the peripheries in Jordan The hour of confrontation has struck
