Chetoui, Mourad. "Aménagement d'ambons dans une église rurale récemment découverte à Koustilya (Sud-ouest de la Tunisie)." Libyan Studies 52 (October 7, 2021): 173–76. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/lis.2021.10.
Abstract:
AbstractThere were two excavation missions at the site of Koustilya, in 2017 and in 2018, to investigate the remains of a late rural church. The excavations identified the monument as a building for Christian worship. The architecture of this monument (three aisles and an apse and associated rooms) suggests a Christian church. This church enriches the list of rural Christian churches in Tunisia and additionally has some special features: among the architectural components discovered in this church are two fixed ambons built into the masonry. These give this church a particular importance, somewhat unique when compared to other Christian churches in the ancient Maghreb.

Ismaïl Dellagi, Dorra. "La systémique : Un outil pour une posture enseignante critique en architecture." Acta Europeana Systemica 10 (December 23, 2020): 73–104. http://dx.doi.org/10.14428/aes.v10i0.60003.
Abstract:
Re-penser le monde implique une disposition à adopter une posture critique (Taddei, 2010) d'une manière systémique (globale et située à la fois) en tant qu'individu, citoyen ou professionnel engagé dans une discipline et un savoir-faire/être donné. Dans notre cas, il s'agit du savoir en rapport avec l'architecture, les modes d'établissements humains et leur "enseignabilité" à venir ou à penser.
La posture critique n'est pas un savoir ou un objet disponible, c'est un positionnement, un processus souvent individuel, pouvant devenir collectif. Ce qui est à l'essence d'une posture critique c'est la volonté de dépasser un état de fait, d'innover et de comprendre. En architecture ce dépassement est indispensable pour être à l'écoute de l'évolution de notre métier, du monde qui bouge numériquement et écologiquement.
En Tunisie, La crise du COVID-19 a impulsé un mouvement de solidarité et d'intelligence collective pour pallier à la pénurie du matériel paramédical. Architectes, nous nous sommes retrouvés au centre d'une dynamique nationale de fabrication de visières et de masques par imprimante 3D. Cet élan a dégagé l'expression d'une posture collective.
Le post-covid se mesure, de notre point de vue, dans l'intérêt qu'accordent les tunisiens, les architectes et les étudiants à la question écologique en architecture. Davantage de maître d'ouvrages, ONG, Municipalités, décideurs institutionnels nous sollicitent aujourd'hui et interagissent avec notre plateforme ebniecolo.tn. Alors que cela fait plus de vingt ans que nous tentons d'initier les étudiants et d'inciter les architectes à re-penser nos modes constructifs et architecturaux à fort impact carbone, malgré une faible réceptivité.
Cette "événementialité en acte" (Ismaïl, 2009) post-covid19 nous pousse à adopter une posture critique "systémique" en vue d'une transition écologique dans une pensée collective et coopérative. Nous exposerons le contour épistémique, les outils conceptuels et les paliers significatifs pour la construction d'une posture critique enseignant(e), comme support pour engager un débat.

Abstract:
In this research work, the interest is directed towards the evocation of innovative neo-architectural dynamics in the Tunisian south-east territory, through an eco-integrative approach and the production of new eco-climatic architectural styles, based on the natural and cultural wealth of the Tunisian territory, authentic and revolutionary, yet marginalized and restricted, giving rise to reactions to the question that arises: “Is the situation of the vernacular heritage in the Tunisian south-east the direct result of a lack of vernacular heritage potential knowledge lack or of a modernist, restricted and reductive architectural production?” A multi-scale architectural study of rustic heritage has been developed, including a morpho-metric study, the analysis of hygrothermal diagrams produced in situ as well as the measurement of temperature and humidity inside the spaces. Neotroglodytic architecture, allows to highlight the intelligible integration of this new architectural mode in the mineral and arid desert landscape and to detect the aspect of an ecological and sustainable architecture, offering a humble, comfortable and welcoming intra-spatial atmosphere. Otherwise, in southeastern Tunisia, diagnostics have shown that rural villages, partially occupied and exploited in an anarchic manner, are subject to real dangers that threaten their survival in the Saharan territory, considered a difficult area. Direct consequences of an unsuitable development process, these historic works are perceived as static in the face of a dynamic social process, which has led to the gradual increase in their abandonment rates. Similarly, a disfigurement of the rustic landscape results from poor adaptation due to the standardized reproduction of architectural styles “in search of modernity”. The new troglodyte modes present a versatile and capacitive cultural potential. The manifestation of cultural and spatial wealth thus emerges, with the lasting potential of constituting a vector of cultural transition for the territorial development of southeastern Tunisia.

Kazdaghli, Habib. "Memorials of the Borgel Cemetery." Oriental Courier, no. 1-2 (2021): 74. http://dx.doi.org/10.18254/s268684310015769-3.
Abstract:
The article of the leading Tunisian historian, specialist in the national liberation movement and the fate of the Jewish community of Tunisia, Habib Kazdaghli analyses the three monuments dedicated to the victims of world wars, erected at the Borgel cemetery, the largest Jewish cemetery in the city of Tunisia. The article looks into the place of the monuments in the architectural complex of the cemetery, the circumstances of their construction, examines how their architecture reflected the specificity of the ethno-political development of the Jewish community and the peculiarities of the modernization processes. The author uses extensive material from the Tunisian Jewish press, which previously rarely presented the subject of academic research, as well as epigraphic materials. In the analysis of the monument dedicated to the Jews who died during the First World War, the author notes that its construction testified to the formation in the Jewish community of a non-religious cult of honouring the memory of the dead. At the same time, analysis of the monuments to victims of forced labour camps and deportations shows that their very erection placed the Jewish community of Tunisia in a broader historical and political context, making its tragedy a part of the global tragedy of the Jewish people and all humanity as a whole. It also linked the fate of Tunisian Jewry with the fate of European Jewry and, first of all, French Jewry, which acquired a special political meaning in the context of the national liberation movement and the processes of decolonization that unfolded after World War II.

Abstract:
At the end of the spring of 1943, the German forces were finally defeated in Northern Tunisia and had to leave the country. This allowed the French protectorate to take power and in the years that followed, thanks to massive American economic aid, undertake a very important project of architectural construction and reconstruction. All of Tunisia was involved but the four main cities (Tunis, Bizerte, Sousse and Sfax), whose populations were expanding, saw entire parts of themselves reconstructed. Today, a unique experience of modernity still remains in the tissue of all these cities, but with big issues of conservation.

Abstract:
Abstract. Nowadays digital tools are booming. The evolution of the technologies used in archeology and in architecture is such that we are going more and more towards low cost and time saving. Indeed, today we can use free softwares in photogrammetry in order to make 3D surveys of architectural buildings. Fifteen years ago it only required the use of the 3D laser scanner, a very expensive technique.As part of the course reform of the second year at the national school of architecture and urban planning Tunisia in the course of descriptive geometry and perspective drawing, an experiment was conducted in order to introduce low cost photogrammetry using the free software 123 D catch by autodesk, 3DF Zephyr or Scann 3D on the mobile phone. The objective of this course is to make students experiment different techniques of representation such as photogrammetry, perspective drawing, using a mobile phone , a digital camera or a pen. The object of the representation is the Tunisian cultural heritage such as the archeological site of Carthage.

Abstract:
Si les textes s’éclairent à lumière indirecte de leur contexte et de leur intertexte, le sens propre de leur message n’est saisissable que dans le réseau des paraphrases et des périphrases qu’ils énoncent eux-mêmes ; les textes s’auto-expliquent. Imen Helali interroge la signification du vocable linéaments dans le De re aedificatoria. Prolongeant les discussions terminologiques qu’a suscitées l’usage de ce mot par Alberti, elle propose une lecture systématique et croisée de deux passages du premier livre et du prologue. Produisant des échos loin dans le texte du traité, elle fait entendre la nature à la fois mentale et formelle des linéaments et réfute la thèse de Susan Lang selon laquelle il s’agirait de « plans de sol », d’une représentation graphique des édifices projetés sur un plan horizontal. Confrontant sa lecture à celles des nombreux spécialistes qui se sont penchés sur la question, Imen Helali déplace les lignes d’interprétation du texte d’Alberti et produit quelques avancées notables dans la théorie de l’architecture.
Imen Helali est architecte, diplômée par l’Ecole Nationale d’Architecture et d’Urbanisme (ENAU) de l’Université de Carthage (Tunisie) et détentrice d’un Master de Recherche en Architecture. Depuis 2019, elle conduit une thèse de doctorat sur le thème des limites à l’ENAU et au Département de Langues et Littératures françaises et romanes de l’Université de Liège (Belgique).

Faleh, Majdi. "Restoration of Tangible and Intangible Artefacts in the Tunisian Landscape: ‘Boutique Hotels’ and the Entrepreneurial Project of Dar Ben-Gacem." Journal of Heritage Management 4, no. 1 (June 2019): 22–35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2455929619852863.
Abstract:
This research stems from a theoretical study of the Medina of Tunis, as a continuity of the author’s doctoral research. The broader study from which the concepts are drawn is part of a PhD project, in architecture and humanities, focused on the effects of globalization on the Medina of Tunis. Studies and publications of the houses of the Medina of Tunis are lacking from the literature, in the Anglo-Saxon world, thus the interest of the author is to build a new body of knowledge examining historical restoration projects in Tunisia. This research article traces the challenges faced by the Medina of Tunis in the twenty-first century. It does so by evaluating a restoration and conversion project of seventeenth century Dar Ben-Gacem into a boutique hotel or ‘Hotel de Charme’. The project is unique as it reflects an architectural and entrepreneurial initiative of its owners aiming to work alongside the Medina’s small businesses, local artisans and the community at large. In this context, this research examines the architectural and socio-cultural challenges faced by the owners as well as the architects to preserve the identity of the building while diversifying the use of its spaces. This study first examines the history of Dar Ben-Gacem and the transition of the traditional courtyard house into a ‘cosmopolitan’ guest house that attracts visitors and tourists from all cultures and nationalities. Later, it explores the motivations and commitments of the owners to revive tangible and intangible artefacts through architecture as well as the social and cultural entrepreneurship of Tunisia’s rich cultural history. Ultimately, this theoretical study evaluates the challenges faced in such projects to revive the cultural heritage of the house while shaping a ‘story’ of a generation. Restoration projects in the Medina vary in scale and purpose. The consideration of both tangible and intangible artefacts in this historical context is highly important as it delves into the question of heritage in the age of tourism and globalization.

Korachy, M. "IS THE LOSS OF VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE REVERSIBLE? THE CASE OF LAHUN VILLAGE IN EGYPT." ISPRS - International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences XLIV-M-1-2020 (July 24, 2020): 977–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/isprs-archives-xliv-m-1-2020-977-2020.
Abstract:
Abstract. In Fayoum, the largest oasis in the Egyptian western desert, the modern Lahun village was developed close by the ancient mud-brick Lahun Pyramid in the 19th Century. The architecture of Lahun village followed its ancestors’ architecture. Until 2003, a mix of mud and stone vernacular houses were dominant in the village. In 2010, 35% of the houses at Lahun main street, which leads to the pyramid site, were of mud brick/stone houses, the rest was replaced by high-rise concrete buildings. By 2019, little traces of the traditional vernacular dwellings survived a massive movement to concrete construction. In the last 15 years, the skyline of the village has completely transformed. Lahun’s loss of its vernacular architecture is not an exception, except in one case: Tunis village where a pottery school for locals, started 30 years ago, to change the future of Tunis, where traditional architectural techniques have taken an important place in contemporary constructions. What are the local needs when they decide to replace their traditional houses with concrete? What is the impact of the pyramid’s recent re-opening on the village? What should be learned from Tunis village? Could what remained from the aspects of the Lahun vernacular heritage be used to reverse the loss of the tangible architectural aspects? Is new architecture that is sympathetic to the traditional vernacular character of the village a solution?

Abstract:
The mosque has always been a prominent unit that used to structure the old Islamic cites. Its architecture through the Muslim world has always aroused the interest of many researchers. Actually, mosques are still built while undergoing the changes which occurred on the modern societies. However, only few research who have been interested in the new mosques. This paper targets the architecture of mosques built in Tunis governorate between 1975 and 1995. Through a morphological analysis of 24 mosques we were able to determine their identity and their morphological structure. According to their form and position, we discovered classes of specimen and classes of segments. Our corpus presents several constants and variations that we can explain though the introduction of some extrinsic attributes. In fact, these architectural objects possess some morphological specifications related to some urban, functional and historical factors.

Benkari, Naima. "THE ARCHITECTURE OF IBADI MOSQUES IN M’ZAB, DJERBA, AND OMAN." Journal of Islamic Architecture 5, no. 4 (December 21, 2019): 173–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.18860/jia.v5i4.5813.
Abstract:
The Ibadis are a Muslim religious minority with a long history and a rich philosophical and theological literature. This research claims that the Ibadis adherence to strict and puritan Islamic principles has not only affected their individual and social behavior, but also marked their approach to architecture, and the construction of cities. This article investigates the architecture of mosques developed in the four significant regions where this network of communities has settled since the ninth century: Oman, the M'zab valley in Algeria, Djerba in Tunisia, and Jebel Nafusa in Libya. Many features distinguish the architectural style of these from the typical mosque style. Although it may appear plural in its spatial arrangement, volumes, material and construction methods, the architecture of Ibadi mosques displays an “air de Famille” that relates them to their Arab-Berber origins and Ibadi religious principles. The present research is a comparative analysis of representative samples of this architecture in all the regions inhabited by the Ibadis. The second layer of scrutiny consisted of exploring the origins of its distinctive features in the meanings of the Ibadi Fiqh that concerned the act of building. It is a pioneering investigation of the relationship between the Ibadi religious principles and the architecture of their mosques. This research has established that the Ibadi Fiqh has addressed some aspects of the design of mosques and therefore have impacted, if not produced, some of the distinctive features of this architecture.

Abstract:
The article is a review of the emerg-ing trend of integrating buildings with vegeta-tion. The overview of contemporary practice and conceptual design shows an evolution from iconic manifestos, to mainstream ele-ments of present-day architectural design, reasoned by climatic changes. The examina-tion of representative cases show a growing interest in several forms of integrating build-ings with vegetation, incorporated into build-ings roofs, terraces, balconies and facades. The conclusions highlight prospective oppor-tunities in form, function, construction and sustainability of contemporary architecture; but also notice some threads of prioritizing green image over ecological aspects.

Abstract:
Abstract In March 1892, eleven years after the establishment of the French protectorate in Tunisia, a congregation of ulemas, religious scholars, and students, as well as representatives of the waqf administration (Jamʿiyyat al-Awqāf) gathered in the ṣaḥn of the Zaytuna Mosque to lay the cornerstone of a new minaret. The pre-exiting tower, whose latest major renovations dated from the seventeenth-century Ottoman Muradid times, was deemed hazardous; it was therefore entirely demolished and replaced by a large-scale replica of the nearby Hafsid Kasbah Mosque of Tunis. The new minaret of the Zaytuna Mosque rose in tandem with the Saint Vincent de Paul Cathedral of Tunis, and simultaneously with the nascent French neighborhoods of Tunis outside and along the medina walls. This article explores the intricate and fascinating context of the construction of a monumental minaret in a city that was gradually severing ties with its Ottoman past and surrendering to a newly established colonial rule. It questions the role and aspirations of the French administration in the minaret project, the reasons that led to the revival of the Almohad architectural style in the late nineteenth-century Maghrib, and the legacy left by the re-appropriation of this style in North Africa.

Gharbi, Salma, and Hédi Derbel. "Higher School of Agriculture of Mograne (1947-1952) in Tunisia." Docomomo Journal, no. 69 (December 15, 2023): 35–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.52200/docomomo.69.04.
Abstract:
In order to document the architectural production of the Modern Movement in Tunisia1, we propose in this article to study a major project in the production of academic institutions, the “Ecole d’Agriculture de Mograne” at Zaghouan in northern Tunisia. The school was designed by architect Jean Pierre Ventre (1913-1979) and his collaborator Marcel Faure (1882-?) and built between 1947 and 1952. The commission for this institution of higher learning, located in a verdant natural setting, was programmed with the political aim of bringing a breath of modernity to the country, breaking with the local traditional heritage. The complex is a classic example of structural modernity, in which the building’s layout reflects both the functional nature of the complex and its coherent integration into the surrounding context. The overall aesthetic of the building is based on a rigorous geometric composition, with horizontal and vertical lines giving it a monumental character. The individual parts, meanwhile, are rationally designed, giving them a functional dimension in terms of sun shading, circulation, or structural maintenance. The mixed use of jointed ashlar masonry and bush-hammered concrete lends stylistic coherence to the whole and has contributed to the school’s longevity and durability for over 70 years. For all its students, the school represents an exemplary academic environment where the memory of the place has left its mark on past generations and continues to do so. Over the years, the School of Mograne has been subject to a number of modifications. What’s more, several of the annex buildings are now in a state of neglect. This calls for urgent action to rehabilitate and reconvert these abandoned spaces. And even more importantly, the Mograne School of Agriculture needs to be protected and classified as a modern heritage and national heritage monument for the values it offers in terms of history, architecture, and environmental integration.

Erarslan, Alev. "MAKSUR DOME TRADITION IN THE DESIGN OF MALATYA GREAT MOSQUE IN TURKISH ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE." Journal of Islamic Architecture 5, no. 3 (July 1, 2019): 166–72. http://dx.doi.org/10.18860/jia.v5i3.5204.
Abstract:
The maksure section was added to Nebev-i Masjid during the era of the Caliph Osman in early Islamic architecture as a private space to ensure the safety and security of the caliphs. The maksure was positioned in the section in front of the mihrab and covered with a dome, eventually becoming one of the essential elements of Islamic mosque architecture. The “mihrab anterior dome” was at the same time regarded as a symbol of the ruler’s sovereignty and became the fundamental starting point of spatial unity in mosque architecture. One of the most examples of this structure is the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. The same plan layout was also applied to the mosques of Cordoba, Mesjid-i Aksa in Jerusalem, and Kayrevan in Tunisia. The anterior mihrab dome was an essential architectural and liturgical element used in the fabric of Anatolian mosque architecture by the Great Seljuqs outside Anatolia, the early-Anatolian Turkish Principalities, and Anatolian Seljuqs within the confines of Anatolia. After going through another stage of development during the late-Principality era of the 14th century, it was transformed into the central dome in Ottoman Turkish architecture, becoming an essential element in the organization of the entire grammar of Turkish shrine architecture. This paper aims to describe the use of this mihrab anterior dome in the design of the Malatya Great Mosque. Evaluated within the scope of this typology, the Malatya Grand Mosque holds a unique place in the history of Turkish art and architecture, whether for its layout, its dome design, or its embellishment technique and repertoire. In this article, the Malatya Great Mosque, one of the “mihrab anterior dome” mosques in Anatolia, will be evaluated from the aspect of its unique dome plan and rich decorative embellishment program.

"The Roman circus and southwestern city quarter of Carthage: first results of a new international research project." Libyan Studies 49 (October 16, 2018): 177–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/lis.2018.17.
Abstract:
AbstractThe paper presents first results of a joint German–Tunisian research project in Carthage, Tunisia. Archaeological fieldwork has been undertaken (preceded by a geophysical survey) in the southwestern quarter of the ancient city to study the architecture, chronology and urban context of the circus. The area has, unlike the rest of Carthage, not been targeted by excavations of the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries and, also unlike the rest of Carthage, is mostly not overbuilt, although under pressure from neighbouring communities. The area is the last one allowing a large-scale diachronic urban study in which the circus and its impact on the quarter is in the centre. From our first results, we can date the beginning of the construction of the circus to the late first century AD, with interventions in the early third century and usage continuing into the sixth. We were able to define the extension of the northern cavea and to study the western part of the spina and identify the meta at this point. Information has been obtained on early Roman, pre-circus use of the area as well as data on the Punic phases. Sixth- and seventh-century levels are also well preserved.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate how context influences the quality of business relationships. This theoretical question is studied from the point of view of trust, one of the important components of business relationship quality. The authors study how trust is related to the dynamics and management of the business relationship in the context of an emerging market. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on qualitative interviews with 15 spare-parts resellers in the Tunisian automotive industry. The authors take a monadic view, interviewing resellers about their relationships with their wholesalers-importers. The decision to undertake the research in Tunisia is based on three factors. First, Tunisia is an emerging country and there is very little published research based in the Maghreb countries. Second, the Tunisian automotive parts market structure is relatively simple and, hence, easily understood, with most spare-parts being imported because of the low level of local production. Third, the actors in the study are all Tunisian companies, so research allows us to explore relationships between local companies in an emerging country. Findings The authors find that different kinds of trust play different roles over the dynamics of the relationship. Perceived trust is more important at the emergent stage of a relationship, and as the two parties learn from each other, experienced trust becomes more important in the established relationships. The initial perceived trust creates the possibility of building trust, and when mutual trust exists between the parties, it motivates them to maintain the relationship, but there is always the threat of the degradation of the quality of the relationship because of the violation or destruction of the trust. Research limitations/implications This paper shows that more care should be taken when using trust as the variable under scrutiny. Different aspects of trust manifest themselves at various stages of the relationship building cycle. Practical implications The results emphasize that when initiating a business relationship, managers first need to create perceived trust. Thereafter, once trust is built up, it is the trust that may “manage” or act to control the on-going relationship as long as the partners’ behavior or network changes do not violate the trust. Originality/value The results of this paper show that there is a mutual but not necessarily symmetrical or balanced influence of trust on the behavior of the partners involved. The influence of the different parties is dependent on the power architecture, the history of the relationship and the network position of the actors.

Koliadin, Anton V. "Linguocultural lexical timers and chronemes in the informative code of journalistic discourse (on the material of the magazines National Geographic and Vokrug Sveta (Around the World))." Izvestiya of Saratov University. Philology. Journalism 24, no. 2 (May 22, 2024): 153–61. http://dx.doi.org/10.18500/1817-7115-2024-24-2-153-161.
Abstract:
The article describes the nominative field of the dominant concept “Time” by identifying the peculiarities of the representation of chronemes and linguocultural lexical timers in the discursive temporal architectonics of journalistic articles on Arabic architecture published in the magazines Vokrug Sveta and National Geographic. The research is determined by the need for taxonomic modeling of the nominative field of the dominant concept “Time” from the perspective of its contextual coupling with the linguocultural range of descriptions of ancient Arabic urban architecture in the journalistic discourse of English-language and Russian-language magazines. The article “The Earth and the Sun of Tunisia” by V. Zakharchenko and V. Kaboshkin as well as the article “These 5 destinations are among the holiest sites in Islam”, written by the editor of the National Geographic magazine, were both considered for the temporal components of the nominative field of the dominant concept “Time”. Their comparative analysis showed trends in the use of temporal markers in the discursive informative code of journalistic texts. The findings indicate that the article by V. Zakharchenko and V. Kaboshkin “The Earth and the Sun of Tunisia” published in the magazine Vokrug Sveta, and the editorial article “These 5 destinations are among the holiest sites in Islam” published in the National Geographic magazine contain 25 and 23 chronemes and linguocultural lexical timers, respectively. The identified temporal markers are used as a reference to the historical period during which a particular architectural construction was created in the urban space. The result of this article involves the replenishment of the theoretical data on the features of the nominative field of the dominant concept “Time” represented by various chronemes and linguocultural lexical timers in journalistic discourse, as well as in the presentation of the author’s classification of chronemes identified in the journalistic texts on Arabic architecture taken from the magazines Vokrug Sveta and National Geographic. The obtained research results can be applied in lectures and seminars on discourse studies, intercultural communication, cognitive linguistics, text theory, in seminars on the interpretation of the discursive informative code of the nominative field of the dominant concept “Time”.

Abstract:
The authors analyzed the specifics of the formation of the Islamic school of architecture in Algeria. The architectural periodization of the mosques of Algeria looks more consolidated compared to the historical periodization, as it is not focused on changes in the political system, but on the emergence of changes in the Islamic architectural school. In total, six architectural periods of the construction of mosques in Algeria can be distinguished, which reveal the genesis of mosques, the gradual departure from Arab prototypes to the local Maghreb type, its improvement and departure towards decoration, at a late stage - the appearance of a borrowed type of Ottoman dome mosque with a developed courtyard with a fountain and galleries: a) the first period (647 - middle of the 11th century) - characterized by a combination of Arab, Maghreb, and Persian architectural and building traditions, the dominance of functionality over decorativeism, the influence of the ancient Roman order system; b) the second period (1052-1147) is characterized by the synthesis of Maghrib and Andalusian architectural and building traditions, a gradual shift from functionality to decoration, and the appearance of Maghrib-type minarets; c) the third period (1121-1269) is characterized by a special development of Islamic architectural and building traditions, the period of the greatest synthesis of Maghreb and Andalusian traditions; d) the fourth period (1147-1485) is characterized by the widespread construction of madrasahs, imitation of the architectural and building traditions of the previous period, and the completion of the formation of features of Maghrib-type mosques. e) the fifth period (end of the 15th century - 16th century) - characterized by the influence of Spanish and Portuguese architectural and building traditions, decoration; g) the sixth period (1554-1830) - characterized by the spread of the domed mosque type, Ottoman architectural and building traditions and their combination with Maghreb traditions. The influence of the authentic Maghreb type of mosques for Morocco and Algeria on neighboring countries, in particular, on Tunisia and Libya, is observed.

Abstract:
This article tries to study the impact of the bank regional manager's emotional bias on the performance of Tunisian banks. This is by taking into account the mediating role of the decentralization of decision-making rights. For this purpose, an empirical study was carried out using a questionnaire as a data collection method and using a sample of 100 regionals directors of Tunisian banks. This article reflects an original approach, as it highlights the role of behavioral aspects in explaining the level of performance within the framework of the organizational architecture theory. In fact, the results show that the behavioral dimension is a central dimension in the organizational architecture.

Abstract:
The development and optimization of a hybrid system composed of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, converters, and batteries connected to the grid, is first presented. To generate the maximum power, two maximum power point tracker controllers based on fuzzy logic are required and a battery controller is used for the regulation of the DC voltage. When the power source varies, a high-voltage supply is incorporated (high gain DC-DC converter controlled by fuzzy logic) to boost the 24 V provided by the DC bus to the inverter voltage of about 400 V and to reduce energy losses to maximize the system performance. The inverter and the LCL filter allow for the integration of this hybrid system with AC loads and the grid. Moreover, a hardware solution for the field programmable gate arrays-based implementation of the controllers is proposed. The combination of these controllers was synthesized using the Integrated Synthesis Environment Design Suite software (Version: 14.7, City: Tunis, Country: Tunisia) and was successfully implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays Spartan 3E. The innovative design provides a suitable architecture based on power converters and control strategies that are dedicated to the proposed hybrid system to ensure system reliability. This implementation can provide a high level of flexibility that can facilitate the upgrade of a control system by simply updating or modifying the proposed algorithm running on the field programmable gate arrays board. The simulation results, using Matlab/Simulink (Version: 2016b, City: Tunis, Country: Tunisia, verify the efficiency of the proposed solution when the environmental conditions change. This study focused on the development and optimization of an electrical system control strategy to manage the produced energy and to coordinate the performance of the hybrid energy system. The paper proposes a combined photovoltaic and wind energy system, supported by a battery acting as an energy storage system. In addition, a bi-directional converter charges/discharges the battery, while a high-voltage gain converter connects them to the DC bus. The use of a battery is useful to compensate for the mismatch between the power demanded by the load and the power generated by the hybrid energy systems. The proposed field programmable gate arrays (FPGA)-based controllers ensure a fast time response by making control executable in real time.

Abstract:
The self-produced housing phenomenon emerged all over Tunisian cities at the beginning of the twentieth century under the impetus of the rural exodus, under the pressure of exclusion mechanisms linked to economic policies and housing policies. Thus, this form of housing has unfortunately become a real sector of popular housing production evolving explosively in the world. It reflects actual forms of precariousness and social exclusion challenging the established urban order. Nowadays, this form of production increasingly attracts the attention of all stakeholders in the city. It combines several limits both at the spatial organization level and at the economic and social level. The requalification attempts have relatively improved living conditions in many neighbourhoods. The built environment which undergoes major transformations is largely neglected. In this paper, we will firstly present the situation of these self-produced neighbourhoods and then: State interventions. From concrete examples in Tunisia, we will question the future of self-produced forms of habitat and how to intervene in a context of resilience to ensure their sustainability. Several issues have to be discussed related to the way of inhabiting these spaces, the architecture produced, the consensus town planning, and the participation of residents. We will try, using an analysis grid, to outline the resilience variables. The resilience variables allow us to overcome these self-produced quarters' urban and social marginalisation.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the implementation of the first remote laboratory in the mechanical field being used by the Higher Institute of Industrial Systems of Gabès (ISSIG)-Gabès University, Tunisia. The developed remote laboratory is achieved thanks to the e-Sience Tempus project. The control system for this remote laboratory was implemented using LabVIEW software. The experiment studies the forced vibrations system. The students access our platform via the internet to determine the resonance frequency of damping forced vibration from the amplitude vs. excitation frequency and the phase angle vs. excitation curves. The students also determined the damping ration for system via phase angle vs. excitation frequency curve. All online experiments were deployed on the interactive version of iLab Shared Architecture (ISA).

Root and aboveground growth of rhizotron-grown seedlings of three Tunisian Desert Calligonum species under water deficit. Can. J. Soil Sci. 91: 15–27. In southern Tunisia, plants are subjected to severe drought and many human disturbances, causing the degradation of soils and plants. The study of wild plants and their response to water deficit can facilitate their conservation and help in ecosystem rehabilitation. In this context, the adaptive responses to water deficit of three desert Calligonum species (C. comosum L'Herit, C. azel Maire and C. arich Le Houerou), differing in their topographic location, were studied in rhizotrons under two water regimes. The objectives were to correlate the adaptive ability of these species, with several developmental traits, such as root architecture and growth, aerial growth and height, with environmental and soil properties, and to define which of the three Calligonum species is best adapted to water stress. Water deficit was applied when plants formed two green branches, and measurements were carried out over 8 mo. Under water deficit, all species increased their cumulative root length. In deeper soil layers, only treated C. arich plants developed secondary roots. Under drought, C. azel and C. arich increased their biomass production during the experiment. It seems that C. arich has adapted better to water deficit by developing a deep root system and the greatest root and aboveground biomass. Hence, C. arich is suggested as the best species for early dune stabilization and biomass production.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents an experimental validation of membrane distillation unit using solar energy which is coupled with direct contact membrane, which is placed at Kairouan University, Tunisia (35 N, 10 E) and tested on several sunny days. This unit is located as part of a cooperation project research and development between German Institute for Solar Energy Systems and Tunisian Electromechanical Systems Laboratory named: Solar driven membrane distillation for resource efficient desalination in remote areas. A theoretical model investigation as well as experimental is carried out. A mathematical model based on heat and mass transfers of the membrane distillation unit has been presented in this paper. The obtained global model of the membrane distillation unit has been converted to a set of algebraic system of equations to render them ordinary. To compare the experimental and numerical data of the mathematical model of the membrane distillation unit an example of the validation process that has been presented to assess the credibility of the obtained numerical model of membrane distillation unit, a laptop simulation program based on the global model of the unit is simulated by C++ software to solve the model of solar irradiation and all temperature on the journal productivity of the membrane distillation unit. It was shown by this study that the global mathematical model of the unit is able to predict accurately the trends of the thermal characteristic of the membrane distillation unit.

Abstract:
International Labor migration has powerful consequences for Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Economically, migration affects Maghribi foreign currency earnings, balance of payments, employment rates, entrepreneurship and national economic development generally. Politically, it affects both Maghribi internal politics and relations with Europe. The sociocultural effects of migration are perhaps the most profound, touching aspects of North African life such as dress, music, architecture and nutrition, as well as deeper levels of beliefs and values, such as family structures, child-rearing practices and gender roles—aspects of culture that have generally been thought to be resistant to change.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper provides an understanding of the sedimentary-tectonic evolution of the Cenozoic strata of the El Habt and Ouezzane Tectonic Units (Intrarif, External Rif) in Morocco. New data provide information about the depositional architecture and enable a correlation of the evolution of the External Rif in Morocco with that of the Betic Cordillera in Spain and the Tunisian Tell, which provides new insights for hydrocarbon exploration in the region regarding possible source, reservoir, and seal rocks. The reconstructed Cenozoic succession was bio-chronologically defined, and the major unconformities and stratigraphic gaps were identified. The presence of these unconformities allowed three main stratigraphic sequences to be defined by age: Danian p.p., early Ypresian–early Bartonian p.p., and the early Rupelian–early Serravallian p.p. Three secondary stratigraphic sequences in the former upper main sequence were also defined by age: early Rupelian–late Chattian p.p., Burdigalianp.p., and the Langhian–Serravallian p.p. The depositional setting evolved from deep basin during the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene to external platform-slope during the Eocene–Miocene. The Cenozoic sandstones contain metamorphic and sedimentary rock fragments derived from a recycled orogen source area. The clay mineralogy in the Cenozoic strata consists of associations of Ill+(I–S) ± Sme, Ill+(I–S) ± Sme+Kln and Ill+(I–S) ± Sme+Kln+Chl. These associations indicate an initial unroofing in the Paleogene period, then in the Cretaceous period, and finally in the Late Jurassic period during the Eocene–Oligocene. This detritus was followed by variable amounts of a sedimentary mix of Paleogene to Late Jurassic terrains due to several phases of erosion and deposition partly related to syn-sedimentary tectonics during the Miocene. Equivalent features (similar types of sediments, tectofacies, gaps, and unroofing) were also recognized along the Betic Cordillera in Spain and Maghrebian Chain (Morocco and Tunisia) and interpreted as related to a pre-nappe tectonic activity of soft basement folding, which occurred during the Paleogene after the generalized tectonic inversion (from extension to compression) occurred in the Late Cretaceous. The Upper Cretaceous is considered to be the hydrocarbon source rock, while the fractured Eocene and the porous Oligo-Miocene suites are proposed as possible hydrocarbon reservoirs. The Cenozoic stratigraphic architecture and the nappe structure of the region could provide the necessary trap structures.

Abstract:
This study introduces smart tools and algorithms for controlling and monitoring Sustainable Agricultural Greenhouses (SHG). Through the implementation of solar energy, Internet of Things (IoT) sensor-actuator networks, and artificial intelligence, an SHG with a low carbon footprint has been designed. The former makes minimal use of water resources, resulting in the reduction of costs while optimizing crops and harvests. After choosing the structure and architecture of the system introduced, optimized PID controllers based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are proposed, for the maximum power to be derived from the Photovoltaic (PV) solar source and the efficiency of the pump to be improved. Additionally, an IoT-based remote control system has been created using an ESP32 microcontroller with a Wi-Fi interface along with sensors for monitoring solar irradiation, soil moisture, indoor temperature, humidity, lighting, ventilation, and water flow. The system collects sensor data in real-time and employs a built-in algorithm to update the information in the cloud. The experimental measurements carried out in the SHG allowed for the verification of the chosen models and simulation results. Thanks to the hybridization of renewable energies, hydroponic techniques, smart technologies, and sustainable practices, this cutting-edge greenhouse creates an ideal microclimate for year-round cultivation while preserving the ecosystem's energy and water resources.

Abstract:
L'architecture est profondément influencée par les nouvelles technologies, constamment mise à l'épreuve des innovations et des tendances en quête d'ancrage et de performance environnementale. Ces avancées technologiques fulgurantes ouvrent la voie à de nouvelles formes de créativité en design d'intérieur. L'impression 3D également connue sous le nom de fabrication additive ouvre la voie à une conception spatiale plus intelligente et plus efficace. La technologie d'impression 3D a déjà connu un succès dans le monde, le manque de connaissance et de sensibilisation à la technologie dans le secteur de la construction, les méthodes de caractérisation des matériaux et les questions de fabrication posent un réel problème aux architectes et aux designers d'intérieur en Tunisie. Les interrogations qui s’imposent concernent la possibilité d’utiliser la technologie dans la conception des espaces intérieurs, la place qu’occupe aujourd’hui l’innovation dans la création de nos espaces et comment penser l’intersection entre design et impression 3D dans la conception de nos espaces de vie? L'objectif de ce travail est d'identifier les enjeux de la conception architecturale créative et durable en Tunisie à travers l'impression 3D en recourant à une approche empirique fondée sur l'étude de cas et l'analyse de projets concrets. L'éducation en matière d'impression 3D nous permettra de réexaminer cette technologie innovante, qui pourrait apporter des solutions aux défis environnementaux et sociaux liés à la construction. Ce changement de paradigme va révolutionner notre façon de concevoir l'espace physique, l'architecture et le bâtiment dans un pays où l'architecture a été influencée par plusieurs civilisations.

Abstract:
This article serves as an appendix to a compilation of research which has been published on the residential dwellings in the Roman towns of modern Tunisia (1st6th c. A.D.). It focuses on the houses that can be dated with certainty to the late antique period. From an architectural/structural point of view, these houses are little different from what is known of the aristocratic residences of preceding chronological phases, showing a preference for multiple large reception rooms. However, their figured mosaics cover new thematic areas (and related sub-areas and subjects) connected to the self-representational needs of the ruling social class.

L’article s’intéresse à Chantiers nord africains , une revue professionnelle publiée entre 1928 et 1960 à Alger et dédiée à l’architecture des trois pays du Maghreb (Tunisie, Algérie, Maroc) sous domination française. Il propose, en s’appuyant sur le corpus des projets présentés, de mettre en lumière le rôle de la revue dans le déploiement de la propagande coloniale, et son évolution au cours de la période. À travers l’analyse du corpus propre aux réalisations algériennes, l’article réévalue plus particulièrement les programmes d’habitat réalisés durant la décennie qui précède l’indépendance en 1962. Il met en parallèle la manière dont la revue présente la production architecturale et urbaine locale par rapport à la presse spécialisée métropolitaine, dans l’objectif de nourrir le débat sur un des poncifs de l’histoire de l’architecture qui donne à l’Afrique du Nord des années 1950, un statut de « laboratoire de la modernité ».

Abstract:
Nine important agronomic traits were used to assess the genetic diversity of Tunisian tall fescue and to investigate the extent of genotype X environment (GE) interaction and its implications for breeding programs. These traits were studied for three consecutive years in thirty-five spontaneous populations and three cultivars. Panicle size contributed to seeds production, while the plant height at harvest and dry matter yield were selected for forage performance. Analysis of variance demonstrated that population attitude depended on the year and environmental conditions. Principal component analysis revealed significant similarities among some spontaneous populations and cultivars. The relationship between environmental conditions and agronomic traits revealed the influence of altitude, soil texture and minimum temperature on forage production, seed yield, and the architecture of plants, respectively. In addition, the local adapted ecotypes originating from Bizerte, Sidi Nsir, and Rass Rajel attained greater agronomic potentialities than control cultivars and were of considerable economic interest for the improvement of Tunisian tall fescue.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the architectural conservation of the Medina of Mahdia in Tunisia in the 21st century. This millenary ancient Fatimid capital offers an example of urban heritage that continues to impose rougher debates about the uncertainty and the lack of its conservation, promotion and valorisation nowadays.The research examines multiple dimensions related to actual state of the case study, proceeded conservation projects and different actors’ points of view mainly local population and involved institutions. It aims to find out if the case study is recognised as valuable heritage, and how much did the proceeded projects succeeded in ensuring urban and architectural conservation. By assessing and criticising, experimentations are displayed, faults are revealed and thus more suggestions are announced to mend the degradation and improve future projects that will be initiated on built heritage in the case study or in other Medina of the country.

Abstract:
This paper presents an analytic study showing that it is entirely possible to analyze the sentiment of an Arabic dialect without constructing any resources. The idea of this work is to use the resources dedicated to a given dialect \textit{X} for analyzing the sentiment of another dialect \textit{Y}. The unique condition is to have \textit{X} and \textit{Y} in the same category of dialects. We apply this idea on Algerian dialect, which is a Maghrebi Arabic dialect that suffers from limited available tools and other handling resources required for automatic sentiment analysis. To do this analysis, we rely on Maghrebi dialect resources and two manually annotated sentiment corpus for respectively Tunisian and Moroccan dialect. We also use a large corpus for Maghrebi dialect. We use a state-of-the-art system and propose a new deep learning architecture for automatically classify the sentiment of Arabic dialect (Algerian dialect). Experimental results show that F1-score is up to 83% and it is achieved by Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) with Tunisian corpus and with Long short-term memory (LSTM) with the combination of Tunisian and Moroccan. An improvement of 15% compared to its closest competitor was observed through this study. Ongoing work is aimed at manually constructing an annotated sentiment corpus for Algerian dialect and comparing the results

Abstract:
The main objective of this paper is to assess the energy efficiency of residential buildings in Tunis. To this end, three complementary studies were carried out at different levels. Initially, a diagnosis of the building’s adaptability to climate change at urban and architectural scales was established. The methodology adopted was based on indicators obtained following a cross-reference of environmental assessment tools. This made it possible to highlight the lacunary factors related to thermal comfort. According to this finding, the second research was set up to focus on outdoor thermal comfort. The methodology adopted is based on numerical simulations and calculations of comfort indices. The results demonstrated the importance of specific morphological indicators at the urban scale. Finally, the third research is interested in the architectural scale to assess the building’s thermal comfort and energy consumption. It was performed through numerical simulations. The results demonstrated the impact of specific physical indicators on buildings’ thermal comfort and energy behavior. Ultimately, this research highlighted the gap factors in urban and architectural design in Tunis. It detected the most significant physical and morphological indicators to be considered for sustainable urban design.

Abstract:
Le nouveau contexte de libéralisation de l’économie et de mondialisation est marqué par des mutations rapides, profondes et complexes. Dans ce nouveau contexte, chaque pays du Maghreb doit se préparer et mettre en œuvre un programme global de restructuration et de mise à niveau. L’exigence pour les pays du Maghreb de s’intégrer dans l’économie mondiale doit passer par l’instauration d’une économie de marché concurrentielle en passant par la mise à niveau de leurs industries. La mise en œuvre de programme de mise à niveau dans les pays du Maghreb, qui présentent des structures de production et des niveaux de développement économiques différents invite à plusieurs réflexions.
En effet, à partir de l’étude des programmes des mises à niveau des PME maghrébine, on constate des fondements communs, mais également des différences sensibles au niveau de leurs architectures institutionnelles et des rôles des gouvernements qui pourraient expliquer grandement les écarts observés en termes d’impacts. Le but de cet article, d’une part, est d’esquisser une présentation de la PME maghrébine, de ces caractéristiques, ses faiblesses structurelles et de l’inadaptation de l’environnement au besoin de l’entreprise; d’autre part, est d’exposer le rôle et la nécessité du dispositif de mise à niveau dans la production locale, à moderniser les systèmes d’information et de gestion et à promouvoir la compétitivité industrielle.

Abstract:
Business Intelligence – BI systems are increasingly accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Like all Information Systems (IS), their implementation is very risky by nature. Several scholars underscore that IS risk management is more effective when initiated earlier in the system life cycle, as early as at the adoption. The objective of this research is to describe and understand the process of BI adoption in SMEs focusing on the management of implementation risk of from the adoption stage using an interpretive holistic single-case study of a small manufacturing firm in Tunisia in Africa that successfully adopted a BI system. Consistent with previous research, the study shows that in order to manage the implementation risk during the adoption stage, SMEs can proceed in a way that is more efficient for them that is rather intuitive, informal and unstructured, which is, however, explicitly based on an architecture of principles, policies and practices. The main limitation of the study is related to the qualitative single case study design.

Abstract:
Abstract Although scholars have explored the colonialist nature of archaeology and the importance of antiquity in the legitimation of modern empires, accounts of French-occupied North Africa have largely overlooked the place of medievalism in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century French colonial project. Illustrating the strategic importance of references to the crusader-king Louis IX, whose short stay in Tunisia culminated in his death in 1270, this article explores a dynamic ensemble of commemorative structures and spaces built by France and the Catholic Church on the Byrsa Hill, Carthage’s ancient acropolis. It considers a Gothic Revival chapel (1841), a scholasticate and antiquities museum (1879), an eclectic cathedral (1894), and an archaeological garden (1950–56) before concluding with a brief account of the site’s postcolonial development and current state. The conversion of the Byrsa by Catholic officials demonstrates the multifaceted nature of colonial mythologizing and architecture, where both antiquity and medievalism played critical sociopolitical roles.

Abstract:
Tunisia has always been affected by terrorism, but since the late 2011s there has been a sharp increase in terrorism perpetrated. The object of this research is to analyze the socio-economic determinants of terrorism using terrorist attacks as a dependent variable and indicators that affect the level of growth in Tunisia such as explanatory variables. The aim of this work is to develop recommendations on how to respond to the state in response to terrorist shocks. The following policy implications were deduced. First, we must increase the level of growth of the country by stabilizing the policy and by controlling governance to show the effectiveness of the results of this study which aims at reducing terrorism and improving the country's economic conditions. Second, in view of the results found in this research, terrorism can stabilize the long-term labor market through investment by putting in place realistic economic policies that are time-bound to encourage the State to create vacancies for the unemployed.

Abstract:
For several decades, many countries have favored irrigation as a means of regulating, diversifying, and increasing agricultural production to meet the growing domestic demand for food, and even to generate exportable surpluses. As with most Mediterranean countries, Tunisia has inherited a long tradition in irrigation; thus, the management of the scarcity of water resources poses a very important challenge that is gradually increasing due to the effects of climate change undergone by the region and confronting the agricultural sector. Aiming at a new model of sustainable development, ensuring the optimization of water resources management, as well as the protection of natural resources and the environment, this work proposed the modern design of a photovoltaic pumping chain dedicated for drip irrigation, which is controlled using an intelligent neuron-fuzzy controller with an ANFIS architecture and implemented on a Raspberry Pi platform. Thanks to this design, the efficiency of the pumping chain increased exponentially to a value of approximately 95%, achieving water pumping optimization while exploiting renewable energy resources, thus guaranteeing the longevity of water resources, as well as the continuity of diversified agricultural production.

Abstract:
This research examines the impact of the knowledge management (KM) process on Business model innovation (BMI) via Leadership styles. The perspective of knowledge management suggests a knowledge process architecture of acquisition, conversion, application, and protection. This study also proposes to examine the moderating role of wise leadership in the relationship between the KM process and BMI. We empirically analyze a sample of 200 managers in Tunisian banks, the hypothesized relationships were tested through the maximum likelihood method (LISERL). The findings of the study reveal that wise leadership has a positive effect on the KM process. The authors encourage organizations to use this style to maximize the effect of leadership on KM. Moreover, wise leadership has been evidenced in this research as having part moderating effect between KM process and BMI. The authors also recommend financial companies increase their innovation activities through the BMI.

Abstract:
Water demands from agriculture and industry have intensified groundwater extraction, prompting a focused study to bolster water resources, particularly at Gabès region (Southeastern Tunisia). Through extensive geologic and geophysical investigations, the reservoir geometry and structural architecture of crucial aquifers, notably the Mio-Plio-Quaternary and Cretaceous aquifers have been studied. The integration of geochemical and geophysical data allows for a nuanced assessment of fault structures and groundwater hydrodynamics. Advanced techniques, like horizontal gradient and upward extension unveils structural features and density contrasts with precision. This study extends to a spatiotemporal analysis of aquifer hydrodynamics and groundwater mineralization. The Gabès aquifer system exhibits four groundwater facies: Ca–Mg–SO4, Na–Cl–NO3, Ca–Mg–HCO3, and Na–K–HCO3. Results reveal relative isotopic depletion, suggesting recharge under colder climates and at higher altitudes. However, the study underscores the impact of climate change, with increasing temperature and dwindling precipitation in North Africa, since the mid-20th century. This research is a relevant contribution to sustainable water management by emphasizing the impact of climate change scenarios and groundwater resources management. The detailed exploration of hydrogeological characteristics and aquifer dynamics in the Gabès region is pivotal on effective management of groundwater resources strategies in semi-arid environments.

Abstract:
This paper analyses the relationship between Inflation Targeting and economic growth in 20 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries region (Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Palestinian Authority, Bahrain, Djibouti, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Oman, Qatar, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen), using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model over the period 2000-2020. An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is an ordinary least square (OLS) based model which is applicable for both non-stationary time series as well as for times series with mixed order of integration. The results show that Inflation Targeting can have several functions. It is a monetary policy framework based on an appropriate institutional architecture. The adoption of inflation targeting is often subject to a change in laws or administrative arrangements relating to the Central Bank. Inflation targeting might support economic growth by lowering inflation and volatility. However, monetary policy alone cannot drive growth. Inflation targeting might support economic growth by lowering inflation and volatility. Moreover, the results of econometric tests lead to convergent conclusions and argue for the existence of unidirectional causal relationships between economic growth and economic policy indicators.
