Abstract :

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the African Union's peace and Security Council in the prevention and resolution of conflicts in Africa. To do this, we used an exploratory methodology to examine literature related to the subject using documentary techniques. Through this research, we found that the African Union faces challenges and criticism for its ineffectiveness in peacekeeping operations. This is due to the lack of sufficient human, financial and logistical resources for the continental institution. Therefore, African leaders should strengthen relations and capabilities in order to monitor and combat peace and security violations and achieve stability on the continent. In addition, African States must support regional initiatives that should be more important than UN interventions and point to practical and efficient arguments and legal considerations.

Abstract :

This manuscript examines the health expenditures of economic agents in the Democratic Republic of Congo (households, Government, and their external technical and financial partners). The low level of income hinders access to appropriate health care given the high costs of health care in the DRC. As a result, the government and its various technical and financial partners must intervene in the health sector to ensure that vulnerable households are protected from ruinous expenses. At the same time, it provides an overview of public finances in the health sector in the DRC using a theoretical approach, and analyzes the effects of Government intervention and of its external technical and financial partners using a vector auto regression (VAR) model, through simulations of random shocks and variance decomposition. This analysis is carried out assuming the constancy of the socio-economic environment "all other things being equal". The result is that the per capita household health expenditure forecasts can be significantly improved at the 0.05 threshold by the per capita public health expenditure and by the per capita health expenditure forecasts of the Government external technical and financial partners.

Abstract :

The spectacular development of the administrative summary procedure experienced by Congolese administrative procedural law, with its share of decisions sounding like a cleaver to the omnipotence of the administration cannot leave interested commentators indifferent, if these (decisions) refocus the essential role that the judge is called upon to play. Being the cornerstone around which the entire procedure revolves, the judge must reassure both the parties to the proceedings and third parties who, seeing the way the proceedings are being conducted and the 'quick' justice rendered, may have the feeling that cases are heard by an independent and impartial tribunal. This objective will be achieved only if the judge integrates certain values, including impartiality, which is the subject of this study. In an essentially exegetical approach, supported by doctrine and case law, this study has held that the impartiality of the judge in chambers is dependent on the implementation of the contradiction, the motivation of the order as well as the exercise of cautious about combining functions.

Abstract :

In the context of sickle cell disease, a genetic disorder affecting red blood cells, the search for alternative treatments is crucial. The aim of this study is to use computer simulations to predict the efficacy of certain Lippia multiflora compounds in combating this hemoglobinopathy. The methodology used is based on molecular modeling and in silico simulation techniques. Ten molecules of plant were selected and their three-dimensional structures were constructed. Molecular docking simulations were then carried out to assess the binding affinity between these secondary metabolites and hemoglobin S. The results reveal that four chemical compounds from Lippia multiflora (cycloeucalenol, luteolin, verbascoside and zitosterin) show promising affinity with the target protein, suggesting the plant's anti-sickle cell potential. However, further experimental studies are needed to validate these predictions (potential efficacy) in order to confirm the actual efficacy of this medicinal plant. This in silico approach thus paves the way for faster, more cost-effective pre-selection of promising medicinal plants for future development of treatments for sickle cell disease.

Abstract :

Cette étude a consisté à évaluer les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques des habitants du Quartier Kisenso Gare à Kinshasa face aux maladies liées à l’eau. Il s’agit d’une étude transversale réalisée auprès de 148 habitants entre septembre et décembre 2022. Les résultats ont révélé 29,7% d’enquêtés avec un niveau moyen ; 25,7% avec un niveau insuffisant ; 24,3% avec un bon niveau et 20,3% avec un mauvais niveau de connaissances sur les modes de transmission. Tandis que concernant les connaissances sur les mesures de prévention, 33,1% avaient un niveau moyen ; 29,1% avaient un mauvais niveau ; 21,6% avaient un niveau insuffisant et 16,2% avaient un bon niveau. Par ailleurs, les attitudes positives étaient observées chez : 84,5% d’enquêtés pour la question d’amener les patients dans une structure sanitaire ; 18,2% pour la question de garder les patients à la maison et leurs donner des médicaments ; 8,8% quand il s’agit de mettre les patients sous traitement traditionnel et 4,1% pour la question d’isoler les patients souffrant des maladies liées à l’eau. Quant aux pratiques liées à la prévention, 83,8% d’enquêtés traitent l’eau de boisson ; 85,1% maintiennent l’hygiène individuelle et collective ; 85,8% maintiennent l’assainissement de l’environnement et 82,4% s’abstiennent de se baigner dans les eaux usées. Au regard de ces résultats, bien qu’appréciables, une sensibilisation continue avec des messages clairs sur les maladies liées à l’eau demeure utile pour leur meilleure acceptabilité.

Abstract :

The aim of the present study was to test the effect of buckling on the rejection power of plantain (Musa sapientum L.) in situ at Gbadolite in the Democratic Republic of Congo. To this end, a randomized complete block trial was carried out using local varieties, notably Yongo, Mosantu and Ngbangele, respectively French, true and false horn cultivars, arranged in even rows; in other words, 4 blocks and 3 treatments representing 3 types of plantain, each represented by a cultivar, some samples of which were flambéed and others not. It was observed that buckling increased the rejection rate compared with controls to 183.3%, 200% and 250% respectively for buckled cultivars of the true-horn, false-horn and French types. The average number of rejections per bulb was 5 rejections per unflamed bulb versus 15 rejections from flamed bulbs for the Ngbangele cultivar, of the false-horn type; 5 rejections from unflamed Mosantu cultivar versus 16 rejections from flamed bulbs, of the true-horn type and 6 rejections from unflamed cultivar, Yongo, of the French type versus 21 rejections from flamed subjects.

Abstract :

While promulgating the law n 17/001 of February 18, 2017 as well as the complementary arrangements, the Congolese legislator tries through this law to promote the small and middle Congolese enterprises. In this optics, the law reserves the subcontracting in the sector deprives at the enterprises to Congolese funds. All times, some derogation is foreseen is can justify the recourse in an enterprise foreign subcontract: for example, in case of consultancy deficiency on the Congolese territory. But the law and his/her/its application decrees frame these exceptions strictly. In other words, subject to the exceptions foreseen by the law and all precision that could be brought by another law or decree cannot be under bills in Democratic Republic of Congo that of the societies whose capital is detained directly or indirectly to 51% by Congolese natural persons.

Abstract :

The evaluation of antiradicalaire and antioxidant activities of Vamine® and its constituants has allowed us de constate that the the evaluation of the anti-free radical and antioxidant activity of Vamine® and its constituents, allowed us to note that the capacity of trapping of the free radicals of Vamine® is pronounced compared to the constituents evaluated separately. Indeed, Vamine® has an IC50 value at ABTS of 96.16 ± 5.47 µg / ml compared to Dioscorea bulbifera (150.44 ± 9.64 µg / ml), Corn (150.44 ± 9.64 µg / ml), Cassava (218.27 ± 12.4 µg / ml), Voandzou (150.31 ± 4.93 µg / ml) Peanuts (338.06 ± 133.59 µg / ml) and control gallic acid (0.71 ± 0.08 µg / ml). In view of these results, we can assume that the trapping capacity of Vamine® comes from the synergy obtained from the mixture of different constituents. The analysis carried out with the radical DPPH did not show good values of IC50 this could be explained by the fact that for the reactions with DPPH, only the polar molecules react while the reactions with the radical ABTS relate to the polar molecules and nonpolar.
