Our research, entitled “Women as a Project of Self: Perspectives on Feminine Subjectivization in the Face of Identity and Social Challenges in Cameroon,” places us at the heart of the challenges facing women, a topic to which UN Women is particularly dedicated through its major areas of intervention (gender equality, women's empowerment, combating violence against women, and improving women's political and economic participation). Significant progress has been made in women's rights worldwide with regard to reducing tradi-tional structural inequalities. But many challenges remain, particularly regarding the construction of feminine identity, specifically in Cameroon, where the interconnected dynamics of tradition, modernity, and openness to a new world are at play… Speaking of woman as a “project of self” means that woman is in a process of becom-ing in her very being, and reminds us that it is a process of self-construction within a complex and rapidly changing social context, where the following interpenetrate and clash: a) the free project of self of the woman, stemming from her desire to autonomously structure her own identity, and b) the social and cultural constraints that traditionally assign a woman her identity and status… Here, we observe tensions between sociocultural determinants, the subjective autonomy of the woman as a “project of self,” and the models of being imposed by a dynamic modern society, with its ideological, political, and economic constraints. How can we understand this construction of self by Cameroonian women in the different forms of subjectivization without an analysis of the African society’s interweaving of anthropological, psycho-sociological and ideological challenges facing the challenge of modifying its unequal structure which generates violence, especially against gender
The qualitative clinical approach of our research will therefore highlight how the Cameroonian woman's self-construction project places her at the heart of a very dynamic tension between identity assignment (so-ciocultural inscription which assigns a place and an identity) and quest for autonomy (dynamics of differentia-tion, subjective affirmation and social validation), through her relationships first with herself, then with others, with the global society, and considering the impact of ideological-religious and socio-political representations as regards implementation of the project to build her personal self.

This study examines how destination attributes influence the intention of Generation Z tourists to revisit Doi Likhai Trail in Northern Thailand. Using the 5A destination attribute framework, the research focuses on five key factors: attraction, accessibility, activities, amenities, and accommodation. A quantitative survey was conducted with 400 Gen Z tourists who had visited the trail in Chiang Rai Province. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression.The findings show that the model is statistically significant, explaining a high proportion of the variance in revisit intention (R²= .836, p < .001). Among the attributes, attraction was the strongest predictor (β= .336, p < .001), followed by activities (β= .296, p < .001), accessibility (β= .176, p < .001), and amenities (β= .134, p < .001). Interestingly, accommodation did not significantly affect revisit intention when the other factors were controlled.These results suggest that Gen Z's desire to return is mainly driven by the trail's natural appeal, engaging activities, convenient access, and basic facilities, rather than lodging. Ultimately, this study contributes to the literature on youth tourism by applying the 5A framework to a trail-based context. It also provides practical insights for destination managers and local communities aiming to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the Doi Likhai Trail.

Mega-sporting events such as the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup remain the last category of programming capable of assembling vast simultaneous audiences, which gives them a privileged position in an otherwise fragmented media economy. This paper examines how television coverage of mega-sporting events is being reorganised in the digital era along three interlocking dimensions: the market dimension, in which global streaming platforms and technology companies now rival, and frequently outbid, traditional broadcasters for premium rights; the institutional dimension, in which public service media defend a universality mandate that is legally underwritten by the listed events regime of European audiovisual law; and the technological dimension, in which cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, ultra-high-definition formats and platform-native content are transforming both the production and the consumption of live sport. Drawing on a narrative review of scholarship, policy documents and industry sources published mainly between 2021 and 2026, the paper argues that the age of broadcast scarcity has given way to a hybrid ecology in which platforms, public broadcasters and creator-driven channels coexist and compete. The future of live coverage is likely to be commercially platform-led but culturally anchored in free-to-air access, with the forthcoming revision of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive acting as the decisive regulatory hinge.

This dissertation analyzes the impact of the actions of the Diocesan Development Office (BDD) / Caritas Kikwit on strengthening the capacities of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the Kwenge sector, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, during the period from 2019 to 2023. Faced with multiple socio-economic and organizational challenges affecting local communities, CBOs are key actors in local development, provided they have adequate organizational, technical, and institutional capacities. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of BDD/Caritas Kikwit's interventions, notably training, technical support, and material assistance, in improving the functioning, autonomy, and performance of the beneficiary CBOs. The adopted methodology is based on a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected from a sample of 93 active members of the CBOshaving benefited from capacity-building actions, through questionnaires, interviews, and documentary analysis. The results show that the actions of BDD/Caritas Kikwit have significantly contributed to strengthening the capacities of the CBOs, particularly in organizational management, activity planning, production techniques, and resource mobilization. However, the impact varies according to certain sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, and members' level of education. Despite these advances, limitations remain, particularly regarding the sustainability of achievements, post-training follow-up, and sustainable access to resources. In conclusion, the thesis emphasizes that the interventions of BDD/Caritas Kikwit have had an overall positive impact on strengthening the capacities of CBOs in the Kwenge sector. It recommends the establishment of a more structured post-training follow-up, strengthening the agender and generational, as well as the systematic integration of technical and material support to ensure a sustainable and autonomous impact of CBOs in the local development process.

STEM education has emerged as a central global educational priority for cultivating the innovative talents required by twenty-first century knowledge economies, with hands-on practical inquiry widely recognized as its indispensable core pedagogical component. In China, successive national and provincial education policies over the past decade have increasingly emphasized the importance of opening school laboratories to expand practical learning opportunities and advance science and technology education for all students. Despite this strong policy impetus, most ordinary secondary schools in China still lack mature, sustainable, and genuinely inclusive STEM implementation models that can effectively operate within the constraints of local academic contexts and persistent high-stakes examination pressures. Existing STEM programs in Chinese secondary schools tend either to be elite competition-focused initiatives serving only a small minority of students, or superficial extracurricular activities with limited substantive educational impact. This study addresses this gap by adopting a single qualitative case study approach to systematically examine a well-established open laboratory system at a science-focused secondary school in Sichuan Province, China. Drawing on triangulated data sources including analysis of 27 official program documents, three full academic years of operational participation data, and structured observations of 8 laboratory sessions spanning all curriculum tiers, the study provides a comprehensive account of the model's structure, implementation, and effects. The findings reveal that the school has constructed a coherent four-tier progressive experimental curriculum system, supported by a refined scheduled appointment management mechanism and multi-faceted supporting systems including preparatory courses and multi-dimensional evaluation, together forming a genuinely inclusive STEM education platform accessible to students across all grade levels and ability levels. This model has demonstrated measurable educational effects, with participation growing from approximately 800 to over 1,500 student participations per semester over three years, and documented improvements in students' experimental skills, scientific inquiry abilities, and interest in STEM subjects. A key localized innovation is the model's deliberate integration of academic examination training with competency development, which enhances institutional sustainability by aligning STEM practice with core academic priorities rather than positioning the two as competing objectives. The study provides a valuable, replicable localized practice reference for promoting regularized, school-based STEM education in Chinese secondary schools, and enriches international scholarly understanding of how STEM education can be productively integrated within East Asian examination-oriented educational contexts.
