Despite its leading role in the urban transport system, paratransit is accused of being unsustainable and hostile to modernity. The reform of the sector is necessary in the context of the modernization of the transport system of African cities. It requires the formalization of actors through technical and financial support such as fleet renewal projects. This article attempts to analyze the financing process and the level of formalism of the operators constituted within the AFTU in the context of the financing operation of paratransit operators in Dakar, Senegal. The methodological approach adopted is based on the analysis of qualitative data from questionnaire surveys carried out in the AFTU network in Dakar; official documents¹ were also used. The results show that the Dakar financing model put in place has made it possible to make significant progress in the reorganization of paratransit professionals. In addition to the concessioned lines, a salaried system was introduced, pricing is now official and the standardized ticketing system has been put in place. Nevertheless, improvements are expected on the working conditions of employees, the capacity building of actors and the evolution of the legal status of companies.

Taking the 13 years pure artificial forest Phoebe chekiangensis and heterogeneous mixed forests in Tiantong mountain, Zhejiang Province as the research object, the characteristics of stand development, tree competition differentiation, tree height/breast diameter ratio and dominant wood growth were compared and analyzed from the perspective of ecology. The results show that compared with pure forests, the growth advantages of heterogeneous mixed-age forests were significant. Average breast diameter growth of stand increased 1.8%; the growth of single plant wood accumulation increased 7.4%. The relationship between tree height and diameter showed that the high growth of Phoebe chekiangensis individuals in the heterogeneous mixed forest was significantly promoted, and the high growth of the tree was 8.4% higher than that of pure forest. 1–5 grade wood scale sizes Phoebe chekiangensis in heterogeneous mixed forests and pure forests are ranked grade 3 (43.7%) > grade 2 (26.5%) > grade 4 (15.7%) > grade 1 (12.9%) > grade 5 (1.2%); grade 3 (34.7%) > level 2 (25.6%) > level 4 (20.0%) > level 1 (18.2%) > level 5 (1.2%); the straight-diameter structure shows a normal distribution, and the degree of differentiation of pure forests is greater than that of heterogeneous forests. The dominant trees of Phoebe chekiangensis pure forest and heterogeneous forest accounted for 18.2% and 12.9% of the total number of plants respectively, providing a reserve of 51.1% and 35.4% respectively, reflecting the contribution of dominant trees caused by the self-thinning effect.

The article aims at developing an efficient and stable catalysts for simultaneous hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene to o-chloroaniline and 1,4-butanediol dehydrogenation to γ-butyrolactone. A series of CoO-Cu-MgO catalysts, composed of 10 wt% of copper, various amount of cobalt loadings (1, 5 and 10 wt%) and remaining of MgO were developed by co-precipitation followed by thermal treatment. o-Chloroaniline and γ-butyrolactone were the main products with high yield of 85% and 90%, respectively. The advantage of the coupling process is that the hydrogenation reaction was conducted without external hydrogen, demonstrating minimize the hydrogen consumption known as hydrogen economy route. From N₂O characterization results, the high activity of 5CoO-10Cu-MgO was found that it has high amount of Cu species (Cu⁰/Cu⁺¹) which govern the stable activity and selectivity on time on stream study in presence of cobalt in Cu-MgO.

Modernizing the Internet of Things in Islamic boarding schools is essential to eliminate backwardness and skills gaps. Santri must have cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and creative intelligence to be ready to enter the industrial and business world. The students' need for information transparency can be resolved using technology. This is because the empowerment of the Internet of Things has become a separate part of Islamic boarding school activities with students who can connect in real-time. This research aims to analyze current conditions and stakeholder involvement regarding the application of the Internet of Things in innovative Islamic boarding school services in the era of disruption. The Descriptive Method and Individual Interest Matrix Analysis were used by involving 130 respondents from the internal environment of the Daarul Rahman Islamic boarding school and completing the questionnaire through FGD (Focus Group Discussion) with the leaders of the Daarul Rahman Islamic boarding school. The results show that the current condition of Islamic boarding schools is that most need to learn or understand IoT, even though they are enthusiastic about learning new things and flexible in accepting change. The challenges required in implementing IoT are financial investment, increasing human resources through training, and synergy between Islamic boarding school policy makers. Mutually supportive and solid conditions are required between foundations, school principals, and school committees to implement IoT at Daarul Rahman Islamic Boarding School. Collaboration with various parties is needed because the implementation of IoT cannot be done alone by Islamic boarding schools but with the support of various related parties.

The current with the rapid development of Internet and new media technology, the information openness and diversity makes ideological education is facing big challenge, in accordance with the "five a three-ring four law" teaching mode,the fundamental task of implementing ideological and political education, fostering values and cultivating talents is comprehensively carried out. We are advancing the resonance of the “three classrooms” and promoting the synchronous implementation of the “four transformations”, aiming to enhance the “five capacities” of students, according to the current construction of" big education courses "concept, change education thought and idea.
