II ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I cannot express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to my teacher and supervisor, Pr. Bachir Bouhania for his continued patience, care, support, motivation, and immense knowledge. The compilation of this work would not have been possible without his guidance. Secondly, I would like convey my sincere gratitude to Dr. Boukhechba Hicham for his help to me throughout all the stages of research, and to my colleagues Asma Benrezkallah, Manal Bouchikhi, and Dribat Abdurahmane, as well for their patience, tender and support to me. Sincere thanks goes to all the families that welcomed me and were so helpful and generous during this research though it was risky because of the corona virus pandemic. I am sure that without their precious opportunity and support it would not be possible to conduct this research. Last but not least, I would like to thank also all my teachers at the English Department especially Pr. Borsali, Mr, Kaddouci, Mr, Boukli, Mr, Boubekeur and my classmates for their help in my whole five years journey. III Abstract The current research aims to investigate contact and long-term accommodation between dialects. In this regard, this paper takes a narrow perspective to investigate the situation by cranking the microscope into how long marriage affects language use of exogamic couples in Adrar, focusing on lexical convergence and divergence. This research uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate and observe language use of nine couples and two widows using three data collection techniques: interviews, focus group interview and phone call observation in order to elicit lexis used by the couple and for comprehending social and socio- psychological reasons behind shifting from one dialect to another. The results show that not all wives adopt more expressions from their husbands’ speech style. Next, when wives talk to one of their hometown members, they shift back to their mother dialect with a difference in some terms that they adopted from the entourage of the husband. Moreover, wives from regions that are located away from Adrar adopt less lexis than wives from close regions to Adrar do. Finally, it shows that power, prestige, identity and attitude are the major factors of lexical convergence and divergence between the couples. This research will show variation in Algerian dialects, in addition to the outcomes of dialect contact and accommodation in Adrar in the case of exogamic couples. Keywords: Dialect contact, long-term accommodation, lexical convergence and divergence, adaptation and adoption, exogamy.

Abstract The work undertaken consists of evaluating the state of the edaphic and floristic bio-resources of Guertoufa region in Tiaret Mountains (West Algeria), through a phytoecological approach that uses two ecological variants: soil and vegetation. The physico-chemical analyzes of soil samples revealed a Yellow-Red color, low electrical conductivity (0.2 to 0.3 mS/cm), neutral pH and clear dominance of sand (65% to 79%) with low percentages in organic matter (0.18% to 1.35), water (2.1% to 2.7%) and limestone (0.15 % to 1.12 %). The floristic analysis enabled us to release a list of 141 taxa divided into 43 families, the Asteraceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae are the most represented with percentages 18.4%, 8.1% and 9.2% respectively. The comparison of the different biological spectra shows the importance of the therophytes with 51.8%. Biogeographically, the Mediterranean biogeographic type predominates with 50.4%. Key words: Bio-resources, soil, floristic inventory, Guertoufa (Tiaret mountains).

Il s’agit de marno-calcaires contenant une riche faune de bivalves/huîtres, échinides, gastéropodes, ostracodes, foraminifères benthiques et planctoniques. Les céphalopodes se trouvent dans le membre inférieur (niveau à ammonites, n° 6). L’étude des ammonites a permis d’établir une attribution biostratigraphique précise. La zone à Mortoniceras pricei est mise en évidence grâce à la détermination d’un Elobiceras (Craginites) sp. aff. newtoni Spath, 1925. Une interprétation paléoenvironnementale et paléogéographique est proposée grâce à l’étude des différents faciès présents dans cette formation.

I am ensconced in the regional archives, searching for records relating to colonial-era disease control in Algeria’s communes mixtes (mixed communes). In place from 1858 to 1956, these colonial administrative units covered immense swathes of rural territory, encompassing centres de colonisation inhabited by a “mixed” population and outlying Muslim villages and settlements—the douars—under the sole charge of a centrally appointed administrator.1 In one archival box relating to the arrondissement of Bougie (Bejaïa), I find an improvised booklet constructed from quadrille paper threaded together with string. Sloping cursive lettering on the title page proclaims this to be a vaccination logbook: “Year 1936. Protection of Public Health (decree of 27 May 1907). Service of vaccination and revaccination. Mr AMRANE Mohand, vaccinator.” I immediately recognise Mohand ould Ramdan Amrane as one of the auxiliaires médicaux (medical auxiliaries), also known as adjoints techniques de la Santé publique, whose careers I have been tracking through personnel files and correspondence in the Algerian National Archives.

The five antagonistic Bacillus spp. Rb29, Rb6, Rb12, Rb4, and Rb15 showed the most inhibitory effect against FOC1 (from 25.63 to 71.11%), mycelial growth, and FOC2 (from 28.43 to 60.65%) in vitro. Results also revealed that production of volatile metabolite, components and inhibition of the test pathogen by volatile metabolites varied among different antagonistic rhizobacteria. Isolates Rb29, Rb6, Rb12, Rb4, and Rb15 produced more volatile metabolites which inhibited mycelial FOC growth by 40%. Chickpea Fusarium wilt severity caused by FOC1 was reduced from 60 to 99% in the susceptible cultivar ILC 482 treated with antagonistic Bacillus spp. (Rb29, Rb6, Rb12, Rb4, and Rb15) in pot assays and by 98, 81, 68, 64, 57.20%, respectively, in the field trials.

In this study, we identified the whole genome sequence (WGS) of 13 M. bovis strains isolated from animals exhibiting lesions compatible with tuberculosis, which were slaughtered and inspected in five slaughterhouses in Algeria.
