Abstract:
Clandestine migration across the Mediterranean is often discussed for its agitating effects on Europe’s racial anxieties; less acknowledged is the growth of intra-African racism in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Officials in these countries have increasingly demonised sub-Saharan Africans who arrive in the Maghreb en route to Europe, and now even black North Africans describe a climate of heightened racial tension. This article analyses the ways in which black Africans are represented in the contemporary Maghreb. Specifically, I look at print and on-line journalism, novels and films that foreground questions of race to argue that Maghrebi journalists, social media activists, authors and filmmakers are critiquing racism and exposing its neo-colonial underpinnings. Their work is calling for a disciplinary realignment in North African cultural studies that focuses the field as much on ‘Africa’ as it does on ‘North’.

Abstract:
AbstractOrientalist and colonial representations of harems have resulted in the association of North African women with domestic confinement. North African authors such as Assia Djebar (1980), Malek Alloula (1981) and Fatima Mernissi (1994), however, suggest that this view is biased. While focusing largely on Fatima Mernissi's memoir, Dreams of Trespass, this article builds on these authors' exploration of the various ways in which women of the Maghreb are portrayed, in order to provide a clearer understanding of the dynamics of women's space in the context of colonial North Africa.

Abstract:
Globalization of knowledge and scholarship raises the challenges of dialogue between Global North and South. Northern knowledge and voice remain privileged, while writing from the South often goes unread. This is true also in emerging adulthood and care-leaving scholarship. The special issue of Emerging Adulthood titled “Care-Leaving in Africa” is the first collection of essays on care-leaving by African scholars. It presents both care-leaving and emerging adulthood scholars from the Global North a unique opportunity to consider the implications of a rising African voice for global dialogue. This article, coauthored by scholars from North and South, argues in favor of North–South dialogue but highlights several challenges inherent in this, including the indigenizing and thus marginalizing of African experience and scholarship and divergent constructions of key social concepts. The authors argue the need for mutually respectful discourse between North and South and present specific recommendations for fostering such global dialogue.

Abstract:
112 Background: Gender Inequities in cancer academic research continue to be a challenging global issue, including in low- and middle-income countries. While North African research environment has been historically perceived as “male-dominant”, research on gender inequity in this region is largely lacking. GEORGiNA (“Gender Equity in Oncology Research” Group in North Africa) is a bibliometric study focusing on gender disparities aiming at portraying the current situation and inform policy-making to deliver recommendations for gender equality. Methods: A bibliometric analysis based on Pubmed was conducted for the period 2018-2022. Eligible articles included at least one author from a North-African country as first or last position. Cancer researchers were asked to review the articles with the first/last author from their same country of origin, to accurately determine authors’ gender. A manual data extraction guide with simulation was developed and shared with all collaborators to harmonize data extraction, accuracy, and reporting. Factors associated with gender distribution were studied as appropriate. Results: A total of 4,414 articles published by North-African cancer researchers in the last 5 years were included in the final analysis. Females represented 52.5% of first authors, with a notable women’s presence in Tunisia (72.6% vs 27.4%). Morocco, Algeria, and Egypt reported fair distribution in this authorship (ratios ≈0.5) while Sudan and Libya had male dominance (62% and 70%, respectively). Among 23,984 of coauthors, 45% were females and 19% of all publications had no female co-authors. Last authorships were significantly more common for male researchers, in all countries (p < 0.001). Of interest, women’s lead authorships appeared markedly increased over last years, including during the period of COVID-19 outbreak. Original articles presented more commonly last authors who were men (62.6% vs 37.4% women) (p < 0.001). Indeed, male last authors had received more funding than females and published more open access research (p = 0.018). Conversely, disclosure of the funding source was more common for original contributions led by women as first authors (p < 0.001). Male authors (first and last positions) were more involved in international collaborations as compared to female authors in similar positions (p < 0.001). There was association between a reduced number of female co-authors and men in last authorship positions (p < 0.001). On the other hand, when women were first authors, female co-authors resulted substantially higher (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Women in North-African cancer research publications seem to be fairly positioned, albeit differences still exist. Lack of funding and limited engagement in international collaborations are still prevalent barriers for women scientists. The preliminary findings from the GEORGiNA study can catalyze progress toward gender equity.

Abstract:
The authors study Sino-African relations from the point of view of the theory of dependent and unequal development. The aim of the article is to analyze the mechanism of formation of a group of African follower countries of China, that positively perceive the Chinese experience of public administration. The authors set out to investigate the question of how China selects partner countries in Africa, how partner countries become follower countries of the People&apos;s Republic of China and by what criteria the rating of African countries according to their importance for the Heavenly Empire is built. The article examines the peculiarities of the formation in Africa of a bloc of states following the policy of the countries of the conditional West, primarily of the United States, Great Britain, France, as well as Italy, Spain, etc. It is emphasized that the United States plays a leading military and political role on the African continent, having up to 500 military and mixed-use facilities in this region. The authors analyze such concepts as a partner country and a follower country. Two models of the implementation of these forms of dependent development with regard to African countries have been identified: the European-North American model and its Chinese version. The authors have identified the criteria on the basis of which the PRC selects the follower-countries. The conclusion is made about the gradual increase of the military factor in the priorities of the Chinese foreign policy course in Africa and the transition from a soft power strategy to discursive power.

Abstract:
PURPOSE Authorship is a proxy indicator of research capacity. Understanding the research capacity is imperative for developing population-specific cancer control strategies. This is particularly apropos for African nations, where mortality from cancer is projected to surpass that from infectious disease and the populations are critically under-represented in cancer and genomics studies. Here, we present an analysis and discussion of the patterns of authorship in Africa as they pertain to cancer genomics research across African countries. METHODS PubMed metadata of relevant cancer genomics peer-reviewed publications on African populations, published between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2019, were retrieved and analyzed for patterns of authorship affiliation using R packages, RISmed, and Pubmed.mineR. RESULTS The data showed that only 0.016% (n = 375) of cancer publications globally were on cancer genomics of African people. More than 50% of the first and last authors of these publications originated from the North African countries of Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria. South Africa (13.6% and 12.7%) and Nigeria (2.2% and 1.9%) were the Sub-Saharan African countries most represented by first and last authorship positions, respectively. The United States contributed 12.6% of first and last authored papers, and nearly 50% of all African countries had no contributing author for the publications we reviewed. CONCLUSION This study highlights and brings awareness to the paucity of cancer genomics research on African populations and by African authors and identifies a need for concerted efforts to encourage and enable more research in Africa, needed for achieving global equity in cancer outcomes.

Abstract:
A recent review of all ivory from excavations in Chalcolithic and Beaker period Iberia shows a marked coastal distribution – which strongly suggests that the material is being brought in by sea. Using microscopy and spectroscopy, the authors were able to distinguish ivories from extinct Pleistocene elephants, Asian elephants and, mostly, from African elephants of the savannah type. This all speaks of a lively ocean trade in the first half of the third millennium BC, between the Iberian Peninsula and the north-west of Africa and perhaps deeper still into the continent.

Abstract:
The article addresses the cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, in particular the African Union in the sphere of security and settlement of conflicts. Over the last decade the role of the AU and sub regional organizations has dramatically increased. Through its agencies of ensuring peace and security the African Union is making significant contribution to strengthening stability and promotion of democracy and human rights in Africa. In the beginning of the article authors make a review of the level of security on the African continent and stress the sharpest conflict zones. According to researches one of the most turbulent regions on continent in terms of security is the North-East Africa. Continuing quarter-century war in Somalia, conflict relations between Somalia and Ethiopia, the border crises between Ethiopia and Eritrea, which in the late 20th century turned into the war between the two countries, finally, the number of armed clashes in Sudan attracted the special attention to the region of the entire world community. Authors pay the main attention to the cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union in the sphere of settling regional conflicts and holding peacekeeping operations. In the article the main mechanisms and methods that are used by the United Nations and the African Union to hold peacekeeping operations are analyzed in details. The situation in Somalia and efforts of the United Nations and the African Union that are making towards stabilization in this country are also studied. Authors reveal the basic elements and make a review of the mixed multicomponent peacekeeping operation of the United Nations and the African Union in Sudan. In the conclusion authors stress the measures that could strengthen the strategic cooperation between the United Nations and the African union. According to the authors the most important task is to solve problems of financing joint peacekeeping operations quickly and effectively.

Abstract:
IntroductionAuthorship parasitism (ie, no authors affiliated with the country in which the study took place) occurs frequently in research conducted in low-income and middle-income countries, despite published recommendations defining authorship criteria. The objective was to compare characteristics of articles exhibiting authorship parasitism in sub-Saharan Africa to articles with author representation from sub-Saharan African countries.MethodsA bibliometric review of articles indexed in PubMed published from January 2014 through December 2018 reporting research conducted in sub-Saharan Africa was performed. Author affiliations were assigned to countries based on regular expression algorithms. Choropleth maps and network diagrams were created to determine where authorship parasitism occurred, and multivariable logistic regression was used to determine associated factors.ResultsOf 32 061 articles, 14.8% (n=4754) demonstrated authorship parasitism, which was most common among studies from Somalia (n=175/233, 75.1%) and Sao Tome and Principe (n=20/28, 71.4%). Authors affiliated with USA and UK institutions were most commonly involved in articles exhibiting authorship parasitism. Authorship parasitism was more common in articles: published in North American journals (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.26, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.50) than in sub-Saharan African journals, reporting work from multiple sub-Saharan African countries (aOR 8.41, 95% CI 7.30 to 9.68) compared with work from upper-middle income sub-Saharan African countries, with <5 authors (aOR 14.46, 95% CI 12.81 to 16.35) than >10 authors, and was less common in articles published in French (aOR 0.60, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.85) than English.ConclusionsAuthorship parasitism was common in articles reporting research conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. There were reliable predictors of authorship parasitism. Investigators and institutions in high-income countries, as well as funding agencies and journals should promote research from sub-Saharan Africa, including its publication, in a collaborative and equitable manner.

Abstract:
Tous les peuples et toutes les cultures célèbrent leurs morts. Les rites funéraires président à la quête de sens face à la mort. Nous sommes intéressé par la question des rites funéraires dans les premiers siècles de l'Afrique du Nord chrétienne. D'où la formulation de notre sujet qui nous guidera tout au long de notre réflexion: "Les rites funéraires dans l'Afrique du Nord chrétienne du 3e siècle au 5e siècle. A la lumière des œuvres de Tertullien, Cyprien, Lactance et Augustin". Comment les chrétiens célébraient-ils leurs morts aux premiers siècles du Christianisme dans un environnement à dominante païenne ? Quel regard les premiers écrivains chrétiens de l’Église d'Afrique ont-ils eu sur les funérailles des païens, et quelle contribution ont-ils apportée face au culte rendu aux morts par les chrétiens ? Concernant l'Afrique du Nord au début de notre ère et pendant l'Empire romain, les célébrations funéraires étaient d'abord l'affaire des familles. Avec Augustin, nous assistons à une évolution du culte des morts que Tertullien, Cyprien et Lactance attestaient déjà
All people and culture celebrate the death for peace of the dead persons and the living one. We are interested in the question of the funeral rites in the first centuries of christian Church of the North Africa. That is why we entitled our subject :" The funeral rites of Early Christian North Africa of the 3rd in the 5th century. In the light of Tertullian, Cyprian, Lactantius and Augustine's works". We try to understand the contents of the funeral rites which presided over the Christian celebrations in honor of the dead in the christian environment of the North Africa. How did the Christians celebrated the death in the first centuries? What are the points of view of the first christian writers in the Africa Church on the pagan funeral that the Christians went on celebrating, and what is their contribution about the cult of dead in the Christian area? About the North Africa at the beginning of our era and during Roman Empire, the funeral celebrations first concerned the families. Thanks to Augustine, at the end of the 4th century and at the beginning of the 5th one, we can notice an important evolution of celebrations in honor of the dead that Tertullian, Cyprian and Lactantius had already initiated.They also acquire at this moment an ecclesial dimension, especially with the cult of the martyrs and their relics. To throw light on the funeral subject in the north Africa, it is necessary to understand the history of the pagan cult of the 3rd to 5th century

Les communautés asiatiques, africaines et aborigènes sont retenues comme poste d'observation privilégié de l'expression esthétique de la condition multiculturelle postcoloniale dans le théâtre nord-américain de la période allant de 1972 à nos jours. Sur base d'un corpus de pièces de théâtre, ma recherche m'a permis de redéfinir les grandes articulations des notions d'hybridité, d'identité et de communauté/nation postcoloniale.

Through a detailed cross-cultural approach of the English Canadian and American minority theatrical production, my thesis aims to identify the thematic and aesthetic contributions of multi-ethnic North American drama to the Anglo-American tradition of the 20th century. My study examines North American drama from the vantage points of African, Asian, and Native communities from 1972 until today. Relying on a number of case studies, my research opened up new avenues for rethinking the notions of hybridity and identity in relation to the postcolonial community/nation.

Abstract:
L’Adaptation cinématographique des romans de Tahar Ben Jelloun :“L’Enfant de sable”, “La Nuit sacrée“, “La prière de l’absent”

Trois volumes, pp. 429 + 220 (Annexes).

Cette thèse porte sur l’analyse des tenants et des aboutissants de deux longs-métrages de fiction inspirés par l’œuvre de l’écrivain Tahar Ben Jelloun, à savoir La Nuit sacrée (1993) du Français Nicolas Klotz et La Prière de l’absent (1994) du Marocain Hamid Bénani.

Compte tenu du fait que le 7e Art s’est intéressé depuis toujours à tous les genres littéraires, l’auteur s’est attaché à explorer la dynamique intrinsèque des romans et des films qui font l’objet de ce travail, tout en mettant en relief les rapports que le cinéma entretient avec les représentations socioculturelles issues de ce croisement. Plutôt que se s’enfermer dans une seule démarche méthodologique, le choix a été opéré de s’ouvrir à plusieurs types d’investigation, de façon à mieux prendre en considération les spécificités des œuvres abordées.

Le premier volume de la thèse s’ouvre sur un survol de l’histoire de la littérature maghrébine d’expression française, en général, et marocaine, en particulier, et retrace son évolution, de même que les obstacles qu’il lui a fallu surmonter pour tenter de s’imposer, et qu’elle doit du reste encore surmonter de nos jours.

Après quoi, il est procédé à la définition des différents paramètres des trois romans de Tahard Ben Jelloun, à travers les fonctions et fonctionnements des composantes paratextuelles que sont les titres, les incipits et les clausules des corpus en question. Il s’agit, à ce stade, de démontrer qu’il existe une forte motivation entre ces éléments – souvent considérés comme marginaux – et le texte proprement dit.

Le travail se penche ensuite sur l’étude de chaque roman séparément, selon une approche correspondant à la nature particulière qui s’en dégage.

Après un panorama historique de la cinématographie marocaine et une brève présentation du parcours respectif des cinéastes Nicolas Klotz et Hamid Bénani, le deuxième volume se concentre, pour sa part, sur l’approche des films annoncés dans le cadre de cette étude.

L’analyse du travail d’adaptation débute par la distinction qui s’impose entre la littérature et le cinéma, aussi bien du point de vue productif que réceptif, via la mise en lumière des caractéristiques propres à ces moyens d’expression artistique. S’il apparaît légitime de confronter le cinéma et la littérature, il faut éviter de s’enfermer dans un comparatisme valorisant l’un au détriment de l’autre, sans jamais perdre de vue tout ce qui différencie ces deux formes d’écriture et les publics auxquels elles s’adressent.

Le moteur principal du travail étant l’étude du processus d’adaptation cinématographique, l’auteur s’engage par ailleurs à mettre en perspective les expériences adaptatives retenues dans ces pages, afin de les saisir sous plusieurs angles et divers niveaux de sens imbriqués, mêlant fait culturel et activité artistique.

Toute adaptation n’étant jamais que l’une des nombreuses interprétations possibles du texte originel, l’essentiel est ici d’observer, au-delà des convergences et des divergences existant entre le film et le roman, quels sont les enjeux et les objectifs de La Nuit sacrée de Klotz et de La Prière de l’absent de Bénani. À cet effet, l’accent est mis sur le concept de transfert historico-culturel cher à Michel Serceau, où le contexte sociohistorique et les conditions de fabrication jouent un rôle déterminant pour l’appropriation de l’œuvre littéraire.

Ainsi, parallèlement à l’élucidation des techniques de fabrication des films, une grande importance est accordée aux contextes historique, culturel et artistique dans lesquels ils ont vu le jour, afin de mettre en lumière la singularité du regard que chacun des réalisateurs porte sur la production du romancier. La thèse montre par là comment ces adaptations, qui émanent d’approches et de transferts bien distincts, au niveau du contexte comme des codes culturels, ont donné lieu à deux films aux différences très marquées, tant sur le plan thématique que qualitatif.

Outre la bibliographie, la filmographie et un index des noms figurant à la fin du manuscrit principal, les annexes qui composent le troisième volume offrent un fac-simile des scénarios originaux de La Nuit sacrée et de La Prière de l’absent, suivi du découpage séquentiel des deux films et de la transcription d’entretiens inédits avec les réalisateurs Nicolas Klotz et Hamid Bénani, ainsi qu’une sélection d’articles de presse.

Abstract:
AbstractThis book examines the dynamics and impacts of international migration within and from West Africa. Although population mobility is not a recent phenomenon in West Africa, the sub-region has become the focus of policy discussions on migration in recent years because it is characterised by high levels of labour migration (Olsen, 2011) and forced displacement (UNHCR, 2020a). West Africa is experiencing ‘mixed migration’, which refers to “cross-border movements of people, including refugees fleeing persecution and conflict, victims of trafficking, and people seeking better lives and opportunities” (Mixed Migration Centre, 2021: 2). While media narratives suggest an exodus of Africans to the global North, intra-regional mobility is the dominant type of movement in West Africa, with more than 70% of migrants from West African countries moving to destinations within the sub-region (UNDESA, 2018). Although West Africans are among the most mobile people in the world, there is a general paucity of data on population mobility and its development impacts in the sub-region. Existing knowledge gaps make it difficult to integrate migration into development planning processes in the region. This book discusses theoretical perspectives and empirical findings on patterns, drivers, and socio-economic impacts of both voluntary and involuntary migration in West Africa. The authors raise key research questions and outline recommendations for improving migration governance, protecting migrants and harnessing the benefits of migration for socio-economic development for both countries of origin and destination of migrants.

AbstractIn this chapter the author discusses the difficulties of exploring the ethnography of events as they are happening, especially when they are violent, not least due to the lack of reliable information available and the complex process of interpreting transmissions of affect. The epistemological turn away from language—in which the focus on affect has emerged as a critique of post-structuralism’s inability to recognize the prediscursive forces that also shape the body—is, the author argues, imperative, as using the framework of affect theory and new materialism allows us to assess societies in flux as long as our material is grounded in empirical research. Examining the material consequences of recent uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region may provide a way of addressing key methodological issues in qualitative research in innovative and creative ways. In her ongoing project in Egypt, the author has identified the materialization of a certain clustering of affect by spending time with Cairenes during violent uprisings and her own lived experiences at such intense and uncertain moments, especially from the summer of 2013 and onwards. Starting with an inquiry into the material affective consequences—in particular changes to the vibration of sound but also encompassing other materialized experiences—this chapter reflects upon how the author’s attempt to formulate alternative methods of inquiry, anchored in affects and the body as a way of studying affective politics and the tangible emotions that resonate with and transform everyday engagements in a transitional country, provides useful tools for the study of change in the making.

Abstract:
AbstractIn their daily lives, people around the world use tools and material objects, also known as technologies. Despite the notion that high-tech equipment now rule the world, local tools and techniques endure. Global histories of technology must reflect this reality—and historians must resist reproducing grandiose, one-sided narratives of globalization and modernization. By presenting microhistories from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this book sheds light on the rich and varied technological history of these regions. In Chap. 1, the author argues that we better understand “technology” by redefining it in terms of “material culture,” a concept applicable to every region of the world, including Europe and North America. For the historian of technology, the material-culture approach entails treating heavily industrialized as well as less industrialized regions equally.

Abstract:
AbstractThe book “Urban Socio-Economic Segregation and Income Inequality: a Global Perspective” investigates the link between income inequality and residential segregation between socio-economic groups in 24 large cities and their urban regions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Author teams with in-depth local knowledge provide an extensive analysis of each case study city. Based on their findings, the main results of the book can be summarised as follows. Rising inequalities lead to rising levels of socio-economic segregation almost everywhere in the world. Levels of inequality and segregation are higher in cities in lower income countries, but the growth in inequality and segregation is faster in cities in high-income countries, which leads to a convergence of global trends. In many cities the workforce is professionalising, with an increasing share of the top socio-economic groups. In most cities the high-income workers are moving to the centre or to attractive coastal areas, and low-income workers are moving to the edges of the urban region. In some cities, mainly in lower income countries, high-income workers are also concentrating in out-of-centre enclaves or gated communities. The urban geography of inequality changes faster and is more pronounced than city-wide single-number segregation indices reveal. Taken together, these findings have resulted in the formulation of a Global Segregation Thesis.

Abstract:
North Africa is considered to be one of the wealthiest areas of the continent thanks to its natural resources and strategic geopolitical location. While the region is generating about one-third of Africa's total GDP, its economic indicators are not presenting a bright picture for North African countries. This chapter attempts to provide an in-depth overview of the investment environment and shed light on the main constraints on foreign direct investment (FDI) in each of the North African countries. The authors focus on contemporary trends in FDI and policies regarding human capital promotion and infrastructure development. The descriptive analysis indicates that the volume of FDI in the North Africa region is still weak compared to international flows to other developing regions. This outcome can be associated, in addition to unattractive FDI policies, with the absence of real economic and financial reforms, persistent political instability, lack of technological readiness, inadequate regulatory and institutional framework, high corruption and inefficient bureaucracy.

This chapter demonstrates how the media representation of immigration in France is at odds with the recent production of literary works by French authors of Maghrebi origins. Referring to novels by Faïza Guène (Les gens du Balto), Saphia Azzeddine (La Mecque-Phuket), and Nadia Bouzid (Quand Beretta est morte), it shows how the concerns of the “first” and “second” generation of immigrants are a thing of the past, as these writers choose to deconstruct the usual discourse about Maghrebi-French people, inscribe their narrative in different literary traditions, and assert their place in Literature.

Abstract:
Retracing and resisting the long and controversial use of the terms “beur” and “post-beur” first coined by literary critics of immigration literature and cinema, this preface affirms the central place of a new generation of authors with roots in North Africa, who use French as their language of choice in film, television, or literature in order to break the chains of ideological, literary, memorial, spatial, gender, sexual and ethnic constraints. These new writers and filmmakers stage identity in flux, undermine the ideological division of cultural space, engage in postmemorial work, and collapse clichés and stereotypes. The preface continues to define the orientation of the whole volume, which does not seek to examine literature in contrast with film or television, but instead emphasizes the common strategies and themes that bridge the generic divide and define the joint cultural corpus dedicated to the issues of immigration to France and of post-colonial heritage. The preface further outlines the theoretical perspectives used in the essays and pays tribute to the works of Fiona Barclay, Stuart Hall, Alec Hargreaves, Will Higbee, Marianne Hirsch, Benjamin Stora, Carrie Tarr, and others.

Abstract:
The introduction analyzes how, when, and in what forms those of African descent intervened in early American literature and initiated an African American literary tradition. The lens of mediation obscures, or refracts, the presence of Black Africans in early American literature, but this reader emphasizes their roles as literary figures and human agents whose actions in the material world shaped their textual presence. Recognizing seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Black Africans as authors requires recognizing that authorship was and is a collaborative social process of textual production. The texts that Black Africans in colonial North America consumed and helped to produce are most frequently found in ecclesiastical or legal records, in letters or diaries, and in the newspaper. Recovering these texts from the archive invites students of early American literature to engage more fully with questions about the consciousness and subjectivity of Black Africans struggling to survive—and thrive—in colonial North America.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Gas lift is one of the most commonly used artificial lift method in oil-producing wells. However, the technique requires constant optimization of gas allocation to maximize profit. The Gas Lift Performance Curves (GLPC) are the main design element that is used for optimized injection. Several authors have proposed models to fit the GLPC. These curves are generated by modeling wells in a multiphase steady-state simulator. Once the model is built, a sensitivity analysis is run, and the curves are generated. In this work, The common workflow to generate GLPC was followed. Then, a new correlation for GLPC was suggested. The correlation outperforms all the models in the literature in terms of R-score and root mean square error. The correlation was then used to formulate a case study for four wells located in North Africa. First, the wells and PVT models were used to create a simulation. Once the simulation was calibrated, a sensitivity analysis of the gas lift injection rate was run. The new correlation was used to fit the GLPC. The optimization problem was mathematically formulated, and stochastic optimization techniques were used, noting Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to obtain the global optimum of the distribution of a limited gas lift quantity. Both algorithms’ results were compared. GWO slightly outperformed GA. The advantages of GWO over GA were discussed, and the optimum gas allocation was obtained.

Abstract:
English is one of the most spoken languages in the world. A global language communication is inherent in him. This language is also distinguished by a significant diversity of dialects and speech. It appeared in the early Middle Ages as the spoken language of the Anglo-Saxons. The formation of the British Empire and its expansion led to the widespread English language in Asia, Africa, North America and Australia. As a result, the Metropolitan language became the main communication language in the English colonies, and after independence it became State (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) and official (India, Nigeria, Singapore). Being one of the 6 Official Languages of the UN, it is studied as a foreign language in educational institutions of many countries in the modern time [1, 2, s. 12-14]. Despite the dozens of varieties of English, the American (American English) version, which appeared on the territory of the United States, is one of the most widespread. More than 80 per cent of the population in this country knows the American version of the British language as its native language. Although the American version of the British language is not defined as the official language in the US Federal Constitution, it acts with features and standards reinforced in the lexical sphere, the media and the education system. The growing political and economic power of the United States after World War II also had a significant impact on the expansion of the American version of the British language [3]. Currently, this language version has become one of the main topics of scientific research in the field of linguistics, philology and other similar spheres. It should also be emphasized that the American version of the British language paved the way for the creation of thousands of words and expressions, took its place in the general language of English and the world lexicon. “Okay”, “teenager”, “hitchhike”, “landslide” and other words can be shown in this row. The impact of differences in the life and life of colonists in the United States and Great Britain on this language was not significant either. The role of Nature, Climate, Environment and lifestyle should also be appreciated here. There is no officially confirmed language accent in the United States. However, most speakers of national media and, first of all, the CNN channel use the dialect “general American accent”. Here, the main accent of “mid Pppemestern” has been guided. It should also be noted that this accent is inherent in a very small part of the U.S. population, especially in Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. But now all Americans easily understand and speak about it. As for the current state of the American version of the British language, we can say that there are some hypotheses in this area. A number of researchers perceive it as an independent language, others-as an English variant. The founder of American spelling, American and British lexicographer, linguist Noah Pondebster treats him as an independent language. He also tried to justify this in his work “the American Dictionary of English” written in 1828 [4]. This position was expressed by a Scottish-born English philologist, one of the authors of the “American English Dictionary”Sir Alexander Craigie, American linguist Raven ioor McDavid Jr. and others also confirm [5]. The second is the American linguist Leonard Bloomfield, one of the creators of the descriptive direction of structural linguistics, and other American linguists Edward Sapir and Charles Francis Hockett. There is also another group of “third parties” that accept American English as a regional dialect [5, 6]. A number of researchers [2] have shown that the accent or dialect in the US on the person contains significantly less data in itself than in the UK. In Great Britain, a dialect speaker is viewed as a person with a low social environment or a low education. It is difficult to perceive this reality in the US environment. That is, a person's speech in the American version of the British language makes it difficult to express his social background. On the other hand, the American version of the British language is distinguished by its faster pace [7, 8]. One of the main characteristic features of the American language array is associated with the emphasis on a number of letters and, in particular, the pronunciation of the letter “R”. Thus, in British English words like “port”, “more”, “dinner” the letter “R” is not pronounced at all. Another trend is related to the clear pronunciation of individual syllables in American English. Unlike them, the Britons “absorb”such syllables in a number of similar words [8]. Despite all these differences, an analysis of facts and theoretical knowledge shows that the emergence and formation of the American version of the British language was not an accidental and chaotic process. The reality is that the life of the colonialists had a huge impact on American English. These processes were further deepened by the growing migration trends at the later historical stage. Thus, the language of the English-speaking migrants in America has been developed due to historical conditions, adapted to the existing living environment and new life realities. On the other hand, the formation of this independent language was also reflected in the purposeful policy of the newly formed US state. Thus, the original British words were modified and acquired a fundamentally new meaning. Another point here was that the British acharism, which had long been out of use, gained a new breath and actively entered the speech circulation in the United States. Thus, the analysis shows that the American version of the British language has specific features. It was formed and developed as a result of colonization and expansion. This development is still ongoing and is one of the languages of millions of US states and people, as well as audiences of millions of people. Keywords: American English, English, linguistics, accent.
