Their decision to take an integral part in all aspects of the uprisings stems from their belief that their participation and contribution are necessary for any potential democratic changes that would undoubtedly secure and bring them more rights. However, the appointment of only one female minister in the first Islamist-led government and the reluctance to implement the provisions of the new constitution, namely the issue of gender parity, are but two of the new alarming examples that have disappointed Moroccan women. Based on interviews with women's movement organizations' leaders and 20 February Movement (20-FMVT) female activists and through following the development of the Arab Spring in Morocco in particular and in the Middle Eastern & Northern Africa region in general, this paper considers the different roles, specificity, and gains of Moroccan women during and after the so-called Moroccan Spring. The paper argues that despite their limited gains in the aftermath of this momentum, Moroccan women managed once again to prove their agency and ability to change laws and instigate reforms.展开更多

Fourteen healthy young camels (age: 3-5 months), 12 adult male and 10 female camels (age: 5-8 years) were used. Blood samples collected from the jugular vein were used for the determination of serum proteins by capillary electrophoresis technique. Female camels had significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher serum-[Protein] of 63.7 ± 6.6 g/L (reference range = 51-74 g/L) compared to the other age groups. Adult male camels showed significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher percentage of albumin fraction (60%) compared to the other age groups. The concentrations of ul and ct2 globulin fractions were significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher mean value in young camels compared to the other groups (3.5% and 8.5%, respectively). 13-globulin fraction was not affected significantly by the age. The concentration of y-globulin fraction (26%) in lactating camels was higher (P 〈 0.05) compared to the other age groups. Significantly (P 〈 0.05) A/G ratio was observed in young camels. Sex had no significant effect on serum protein fractions. The results obtained were compared and interpreted in the light of finding reported by other investigators in camels, humans and other animals.展开更多
