Biodiversité animale en parémiologie Fuliiru
Abstract
Proverbs are a collection of human and linguistic expressions that contain the traditional wisdom of a tribe. Fuliiru people in
the Democratic Republic of Congo use proverbs to express their way of life. These proverbs refer to animals, plants, and other
forms of creatures. This study aims to analyze the importance of animal biodiversity in Fuliiru paremiology. A descriptive
qualitative method was carried out using data from the book “Recueil des proverbs Fuliiru”. The animals were found and
classified in class, order, and family. A total of 136 (11.8%) proverbs out of 1150 contained animal names. 36 animals
belonging to 6 classes, 20 orders, and 24 families were found. The mammal class was the dominant class followed by the
class of insect. Bovidae was the most represented family. The animals with the highest cited rank were dogs, chickens, and
cows. This high animal diversity in the Fuliiru proverbs is evidence that animals play an important role in their life.

Bilan écologique des ménages du quartier Mbuku à Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
Human activities are damaging the environment, thus creating environmental disasters. The main concern is about the lack of
data predicting these destructions. Households of Mbuku municipality (Kinshasa, D R Congo) usually use various energy
sources such as logs (wood) and charcoal, oil (petrol), batteries and generators. All these energy sources are expensive and
increase family financial vulnerability. The balance between ecology, energy and cost is not confortable and negatively
impacts on family finances. However, our field investigation data revealed that using electricity from The national power
supply Company (i.e. SNEL) is cheaper than all above energy sources. Indeed, SNEL generates its electricity from hydraulic
source. The hydropower is ecologically clean, financially cheaper and sustainable. The results of our field investigations
showed that households are daily spending a lot of money for the energy from oil and wood; whereas batteries and generators
are weekly used. Finally, the ecological energy balance in Mbuku Municipality is negative.

L’influence relative de la modification de l’habitat sur l’assemblage d’oiseaux dans le site de l’Université Notre Dame du Kasaï-Central en République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the ‘’ relative influence of habitat modification on bird assemblage’’. To estimate the
ecological interest of reforestation on the Campus of Notre Dame du Kasaï site, the birds were photographed, identified and
then compared to all species listed in Avibase of the region. The site hosts about 12.4% of species identified throughout the
region. The following birds would be new to the Kananga area compared to Kasaï-Central bird Checklist: Bubulcus ibis,
Upupa africana, Lanius collaris, Terpsiphone rufocinerea et Camaroptera brevicaudata. This study consists in demonstrating
the impact of reforestation on wildlife, particularly birds. This aspect of applied biology is therefore part of the context of
conservation biology. The publication of the species is a strategy for their visibility to lovers of eco-tourism based on bird
watching. This could attract them and thus contribute to the economy of the region. It is on the basis of all this information
that on the one hand, eco-tourism based on bird observations could develop throughout the Kasaï-Central province and on the
other hand, strategies for the protection of vulnerable species will be proposed.

Du maintien de la peine des travaux forcés en Droit judiciaire congolais face à la Constitution du 18 février 2006, arbitraire ou impunité?
Abstract
With regard to the provisions of article 16 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Constitution of 18 February 2006 and the judgment
rendered by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Democratic Republic of Congo on 19 August 2011 under R. CONST 166, it
is clear that the penalty of forced labour has been extirpated from the Congolese legal arsenal and can no longer be applied by
the Courts and Tribunals because no jurisdiction has been given the power by the legislature to make it.
However, it is observed in practice by the courts and tribunals that persons prosecuted and convicted of the offence of
embezzlement of public funds with the penalty of forced labour serve this sentence in prison, whereas article 6 bis, paragraph
3, of the Congolese Penal Code, Book 1, prohibits the assimilation and confusion of the penalty of forced labour with that of
penal servitude. This practice constitutes both impunity and arbitrariness, which must be banished at all costs through the
promulgation of the law on the Abolition of the Penalty of Forced Labour.

Financement des petites et moyennes entreprises : Enjeux et perspectives de lieux
Abstract
The survival and development of small and medium-sized businesses depends not only on their managerial
capacity, but also on their ability to access the financial resources they need to flourish. However, finding these
resources remains a major challenge, as most often their development involves action plans that depend on
financial support that is not always easy to obtain. On the one hand, it's up to those in charge of the organizations
to examine ways and means of mobilizing the necessary resources, and on the other hand, it's up to the public
authorities to support these structures.

Perceptions des personnels médicaux et para-médicaux sur la gestion des déchets biomédicaux
Abstract
Medical waste management is a global public health concern. Our study consisted of determining the perceptions of medical and
paramedical stakeholders on the management of biomedical waste. To collect the data we needed for this study, we used the survey
method, as an instrument we used a questionnaire. Sociodemographic characteristics, biomedical waste management and the harmful
effects linked to poor management of hospital/biomedical waste are the parameters observed during the study. The results observed
are; for socio-demographic characteristics, 54% of respondents are male, 68% of respondents are in the 20 to 49 age group, 48% of
our respondents have a university education level; for the biomedical waste management parameter: 79% say that there is a waste
management policy within their health facility, 74% of respondents affirm that there is poor management of the waste policy and
56% waste is produced by medical services and finally for the parameter harmful effects linked to poor management of
hospital/biomedical waste, the following results were observed: 60% of our respondents affirm that the budget deficit is the cause of
poor management of waste, the respondents for the most part indexed the traumatic and infectious risks 40% as well as the chemical
risks 22% are at the base risks linked to the poor transport of biomedical waste and 56% of our respondents affirm that the
proliferation of mosquitoes and other critters harmful and the proliferation of ecological nuisances are the consequences of poor
management of hospital/biomedical wastereview the circumstances surrounding the assassinations of Lumumba, Polo
and Okito. Secondly, we set out to understand the causes of our underdevelopment and to envisage the
development of our country. To this end, we proposed domestic reforms, the take-off of agriculture, and a place
of choice for market mechanisms and decentralized initiatives in the rest of the economy, following the example
of China. On the security front, beyond diplomacy, our army will have to step up to at least 14 million active
soldiers. This will lead to the establishment of lasting peace throughout the country.

Rétrospection des années post-indépendance et perspectives : Le cas de la République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
This work enabled us first of all to review the circumstances surrounding the assassinations of Lumumba, Polo
and Okito. Secondly, we set out to understand the causes of our underdevelopment and to envisage the
development of our country. To this end, we proposed domestic reforms, the take-off of agriculture, and a place
of choice for market mechanisms and decentralized initiatives in the rest of the economy, following the example
of China. On the security front, beyond diplomacy, our army will have to step up to at least 14 million active
soldiers. This will lead to the establishment of lasting peace throughout the country.

Accès aux services de l’Hôpital Pédiatrique de Kalembe Lembe (Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo) par la population
Abstract
This study attempts to analyze access to the services of the Kalembelembe Pediatric Hospital in order to identify the factors
that predispose access to the health services of this facility. The aim is to identify the factors influencing access to health care
services offered by the Kalembelembe Pediatric Hospital to the population of Kinshasa, in order to help improve the role and
place of this facility in the health care provision of the city of Kinshasa. We conducted a stratified random sample survey of
factors predisposing to hospital access. The data were processed using a variety of techniques, including geographic
information system (GIS) mapping and correlation analysis. Examination of the indices relating to patient attendance by
commune revealed the geographical origins of recruitment, in particular the different health zones of the provincial city of
Kinshasa. Our investigations revealed that financial resources, the proximity of the hospital to the home, and the quality of
care provided by the competent nursing staff are all factors that predispose people to access healthcare at the Kalembelembe
Pediatric Hospital. Poor access to paediatric healthcare is a major public health problem. To remedy this, it is up to the
central government to implement paediatric medical training based on need rather than income, in order to reduce disparities
in utilization, ensure fair access and achieve an equitable distribution of the cost constraints associated with medical health services.

Profil épidémio-clinique de la Drépanocytose et Prédiction des propriétés pharmacocinétiques et toxicologiques des médicaments utilisés dans la prise en charge au Centre de Médecine Mixte et d’Anémie SS (Kinshasa, R.D. Congo)
Abstract
Sickle cell disease or SS anaemia is the most common haemoglobinopathy in the world and is a major public health problem in endemic
regions. The aim of the present study was to conduct a survey in a specialised centre in order to evaluate the cost of care, to identify the
infectious diseases associated with sickle cell disease and the drugs used to combat them and then to predict the pharmacokinetic and
toxicological properties of these drugs and of the phyto-markers contained in Lippia multiflora, a plant used in the alternative management of
this haemoglobinopathy. This study shows that the female sex is more numerous than the male sex (54.5% vs. 45.5%); the 6-15 year age
group is predominant (81%); the major complications noted are sepsis (62%); broad-spectrum antibiotics are prescribed for 87.5% while
antimalarials are prescribed for 47.0%; the cost of care for sickle cell disease patients is estimated at more than 100 USD (˃200. 000 CDF) for
52.5% of patients for each crisis; the management of sickle cell disease by traditional medicine combined with modern medicine, particularly
the combination of plant extracts with antibiotics, represents a risk of drug interaction for patients. It is therefore desirable that further studies
be conducted on the antibacterial activity of Lippia multiflora to verify whether this plant is not endowed with intrinsic activity against the
bacteria associated with sickle cell disease.

Financement et indépendance de la Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante aux élections de 2006 et 2011 en République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
The question of legitimacy of the leaders in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been in the headlines for more than a
decade. Thus, a democracy support institution, which is the CENI, was set up and consecrated by the constitution of February
18, 2006 to ensure the neutrality of the electoral process. This commission was perceived by the population as a real
opportunity that could not only allow the country to emerge from its crisis, but also ensure the organization of free,
transparent and democratic elections ; with a heavy responsibility for ensuring sound and transparent management of the
funds allocated to electoral operations. It is thus demonstrated that external financing has compromised its independence,
leading to parallel administration and contested elections. This finding raises questions about the impact of financing on its
independence and the main areas of expenditure. Logistic challenges and internal and external financial controls are factors
that have hindered its operations.

L’impact de la documentation dans une entreprise : Cas de l’OCC et de l’OGEFREM en République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
Regardless of the type of company, it receives and produces documentation within the context of the information warfare that
21st-century enterprises are constantly engaged in. In this competitive context, it is vulnerable and requires information
management professionals. At this time when the DRC is planning its emergence by 2030, documentalists, librarians, and
archivists must be aware of the role they have to play in national development. However, it is also necessary for planners and
decision-makers to be sufficiently sensitized so that the appropriate conditions are created without which documentation
centers, libraries, and archives would not be able to make their maximum contribution and participate effectively in the
activities of national and international networks. To achieve this, it is important to encourage children, future managers, and
decision-makers, from a young age, to visit libraries, documentation centers, archives, and why not museums.

Influence des essences forestières arborescentes sur la productivité des bananiers au deuxième cycle cultural à Kinshasa, RDC.
Abstract
Silvo-banana systems are an effective response, on the one hand, to the problems of improving banana productivity, and on
the other, to the preservation of our forests, especially in regions where deforestation is increasing.
In order to improve banana production in Kinshasa, an evaluative study of silvo-banana systems was carried out under Batéké
plateau conditions. The aim was to compare different banana-tree associations, in order to determine their impact on banana
productivity.
Five banana cultivars were combined with twelve tree species, divided into three groups: legumes, non-legumes and fruit
trees. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of forest trees on the behavior of banana plants during the second
production cycle. These banana plants were derived from successor shoots selected at the end of the first production cycle.
With regard to the results obtained with PCA, it should be noted that of the 60 forest-banana associations studied, the most
successful (high bun weight and yield) were those formed with the cultivar Nsikumuna in association with: Pterocarpus
indicus Willd; Millettia laurentii; Maesopsis eminii Engl; Gmelina arborea Roxb; Eugenia malaccensis L.; Lannea
welwitschii (Hiern) Engl; Persea americana; Terminalia superba Anglais. & Diels; Mangifera indica L. and Dacryodes
edulis.
All these species can be selected and recommended for use in silvobanana systems, with particular emphasis on the first four.

Étude de l’adsorption des ions de Nickel sur des argiles naturelles locales dans les effluents hydrométallurgiques
Abstract
This research focuses on the treatment of hydrometallurgical effluents, specifically studying the adsorption of
metallic ions such as Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Mercury, and lead on natural clays from the Democratic Republic
of Congo (DRC). Twelve clay samples, six activated with a strong acid and six non-activated, were characterized
using various techniques including X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-Ray
Fluorescence, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and chemical dosage. The characterization revealed that the
clays are mixed with several clayey minerals, enriched in aluminum silicate; contain absorption and water
retention sites, and exhibit heterogeneities at the interfaces between grains and exchangeable ions. Activating the
clays increased their cation exchange capacities, removed impurities, and increased pore size and specific area.
Two aqueous solutions were used in the experiments: a laboratory-prepared nickel sulfate solution and a
hydrometallurgical aqueous solution from a factory, both initially containing 15 mgL-1
of Ni2+ ions. Results
showed that the adsorption of Ni2+ ions increased with the quantity of clay in the solution. The activated clays
adsorbed more ions than non-activated clays at the same Ni2+ ion concentration. Additionally, adsorption was
weaker in the hydrometallurgical solution compared to the nickel sulfate solution, suggesting competition from
other metallic ions. The optimal adsorption occurred with chemically activated clays containing high Na+
, Fe2+
,
and Al3+ ion content and low K+
ion content. The Hill-Langmuir model was used to describe the adsorption
results, revealing that minimal quantities of activated clay were needed to adsorb a large quantity of Ni2+ ions in
the solution, whereas large quantities of non-activated clays were insufficient. In conclusion, the research
demonstrates the potential of natural clays from the DRC to adsorb metallic ions from hydrometallurgical
effluents, providing insights for effective treatment methods in the future. The model revealed that the clay
samples A2a clay, A6a and A3na have the very elevated reactional sites concentrations.

Study of the adsorption of Nickel ions on Sodium alginate polymeric membrane in hydrometallurgical effluents
Abstract
Mining extraction activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo result in the production of hydrometallurgical
effluents containing varying concentrations of metallic ions. These effluents are often discharged into the
environment without proper treatment, leading to ecological imbalances and severe illnesses in animals and
humans. It is crucial to treat these effluents before releasing them into the natural environment. This study
presents a technical approach for developing polymeric membranes capable of adsorbing metallic ions from
aqueous solutions of hydrometallurgical effluents. A sodium alginate polymeric membrane was synthesized and
characterized using various techniques including X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy,
X-Ray Fluorescence, Transmission Electronic Microscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Mechanical
Traction. Adsorption experiments were conducted using aqueous solutions of nickel sulphate prepared in the
laboratory and hydrometallurgical aqueous solutions from a factory. The results showed that the adsorption of
nickel (Ni2+) ions on the polymeric membrane is faster in the hydrometallurgical solution compared to the nickel
sulphate solution. This phenomenon appears to be mainly governed by short-range forces such as Van der Waals
forces. The Hill-Langmuir model was used to describe the adsorption experiments, and the analysis of the model
parameters indicated that the adsorption of Ni2+ ions on the sodium alginate polymeric membrane is more
efficient in solutions containing only one type of ion compared to complex aqueous solutions. This is due to the
competition between different metallic ions present in complex solutions, which are not the case in the nickel
sulphate solution where only Ni2+ ions are present. Furthermore, the analysis showed that the coordination
number (n) for Ni2+ ions in a "receiving" site of the polymeric membrane is smaller in the nickel sulphate solution
(2.22) compared to the hydrometallurgical aqueous solution (2.85).
