Aim. To assess the self-medication against malaria infection in population of Congolese students in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in University of Kinshasa, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Medical records of all students with malaria admitted to Centre de Santé Universitaire of University of Kinshasa from January 1, 2008, to April 30, 2008, were reviewed retrospectively.Results. The median age of the patients was 25.4 years (range: from 18 to 36 years). The majority of them were male (67.9%). Artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACTs) was the most used self-prescribed antimalarial drugs. However, self-medication was associated with the ingestion of quinine in 19.9% of cases. No case of ingestion of artesunate/artemether in monotherapy was found. All the medicines taken were registered in DRC. In this series, self-prescribed antimalarial was very irrational in terms of dose and duration of treatment.Conclusion. This paper highlights self-medication by a group who should be aware of malaria treatment protocols. The level of self-prescribing quinine is relatively high among students and is disturbing for a molecule reserved for severe disease in Congolese health care policy in management of malaria.

This paper examines the role of mother tongues in the teaching of English as a foreign language at the University of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The purpose of the study is to determine the perfect mother tongue of students and to evaluate the efficacy of translanguaging methods in the teaching of English as foreign language. The research used three types of data, including quantitative, qualitative, and test data, as well as a survey conducted among 250 students at the Faculty of Arts. The results of the study suggest that translanguaging methods should be adopted to meet the needs of the country, particularly when English is combined with one of the local languages or French, in order to improve the understanding of students and their academic performance, particularly for those Congolese Learners of English who are not exposed to English often. The main problem in this study is that the learners at the University are learning English as an academic subject and a medium of instruction that they do not understand very well. However, the concept of’mother tongue’ (MT) is very important in learning other languages including a foreign language. This is especially true for students who live in a multilingual environment like DRC who have to follow and understand certain subjects taught in English. Most of them do not have their own unique and same mother tongue. For example, there are situations where a person speaks two basic languages, one is Congolese and the other is a second language. For example, someone who has been extensively exposed to a non-Congolese language like French since birth in addition to their Congolese language.

Until now, the higher education system in the Democratic Republic of Congo has relied on the traditional face-to-face teaching method, which consists in the real physical presence of students and teachers during classes and lectures. Thus, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently advocating e-learning as the only alternative for education in the COVID-19 era. It goes without saying that this requires specific frameworks and appropriate resources, including access to a good quality internet connection. Several countries around the world have implemented this recommendation since the first quarter of 2020 to protect their populations from the significant risks of Covid-19 contamination. In educational environment however, given the disadvantageous realities of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including the cost and quality of internet, the low rate of electrification, and the lack of experience of the educational stakeholders involved, the migration to e- learning remains a challenge. Thus, we propose in this paper a blended learning model that can smoothly introduce e-learning through a platform specially designed to integrate with the traditional way of delivering courses in Congolese higher education by combining the old method and e-learning based on ICT.

Abstract: This study investigated the factors that influence a number of financial issues students face in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A survey was conducted to collect the data for this study. Respondents were asked to demonstrate which of the ten financial education topics they were keen on taking. Descriptive statistics was utilized to present the data. The results show that loans, residential status, and impulse spending were the causes that brought about the students’ financial issues. By identifying the causes of students’ financial issues, educators may be able offer a course, in which students can learn the money management skills needed to address these issues. The respondents were asked if they would be interested in financial education if offered. Almost all of the students expressed their interest in learning how to manage their money. In conclusion, many of the respondents did not have sufficient knowledge and skills in managing their financial affairs.Keywords: financial issues, loans, residential status, impulse spending, money management Perilaku dan Masalah Pengelolaan Uang di Kalangan Mahasiswa Universitas Kongo: Kebutuhan Keuangan PendidikanAbstrak: Penelitian ini menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi sejumlah masalah keuangan yang dihadapi siswa di Republik Demokratik Kongo.

This paper explores whether there is any relationship between Congolese students’ achievement in relations in sets and their achievement in domains of functions. Since 2005, in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the secondary mathematics curriculum reform has brought many changes including the suppression of sets and relations (SR) topics in the first and second forms of secondary. At the same time, the same reform provided for the teaching of the concepts of the domains of definition of functions (DDF) at the final level of secondary schools. Data collection was carried out through a coherent survey questionnaire administered to a sample of 354 out of 3050 finalist students in Bukavu-Town. Those selected students from 7 schools generated 7 pairs of the form data (x, y), where, x represents students’ achievement on SR concepts (independent variable), and y represents students’ performance on DDF concepts (dependent variable). At 0.05, level of significance, the study reveals existence of strong positive correlation between students’ achievement on SR concepts and their performance on DDF concepts among respondents. We don’t understand what basis of curriculum designers which motivated them to remove the SR from the mathematics curriculum. The study recommends to the reform designers in order to reformulate a plea to the Ministry of National Education to be able to include the SR concepts back into the DRC's mathematics curriculum.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
My article explores complex urbanisms of the Global South enmeshed in the enduring aftermath of colonialism. I examine Congolese writer Fiston Mwanza Mujila’s novel Tram 83 that fictionalizes Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, built and developed around exploitative mining and forced migrant labour, and mediates and captures forms of urban change beyond the metrics of gentrification. The novel charts the volatile existence of miners, students and ordinary citizenry of ‘the City-State’ where they work from dawn to dusk deep in the bowels of the earth and between dusk and dawn cavort deep in the belly of nightclub Tram 83. There seems to be an acceleration and contraction of life itself, available only in limited, repetitive futures, and a drive towards total expenditure. Mujila’s novel, however, also uncovers tempo-spatialities within these extractive spaces that allow openings into other forms of urban liveability. Mujila mobilizes the affective and embodied lives of the mining city as a constitutive aspect of urban informality that at once exceeds and clarifies colonial infrastructural remains.

This work is an attempt to analyze factors of semiotic spaces asymmetry and dissymmetry for the host and the acquired linguacultures in the current polylinguism situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A psycho- and sociolinguistic experiment, as well as the data obtained through a direct questionnaire carried out during the primary study of the mechanisms behind the linguistic barrier experienced by Congolese students from three universities (UNIKIN, UPC and Bel Campus) trying to use English, allows identifying not only the dominant use areas for the native and international languages in the DRC, yet also the respondents’ attitude to the need of knowing foreign languages. In order to create a representative sample, a survey was conducted among each group of students selected randomly, while the sample concerned only three schools (Humanities, Economics and Medicine) within the universities mentioned above. The sociolinguistic analysis conducted therein, served as the basis for detecting the key factors behind semiotic systems conflict in the parallel usage of the competing language systems pairs (local vs. English/French): 1) gender, 2) age, 3) status. The language-and-culture barrier in case of a parallel employment of the host and the invasive language can be eliminated while learning a foreign language relying on a familiar language system. This approach, though, is not accepted by the majority of the respondents (over 90% of males and about 85% of females), whereas preference was towards semiosis models of the international language system (French or English). The intersection of semiotic spaces and a free switch between the language systems serving them was to be observed in the groups aged 18-24 (about 40%) mainly at the University of Kinshasa, and only among a small number of the respondents falling within the age group of 25-35 (12%) at the two other universities. This fact points at the reliably objective factors promoting the creation of a convergent semiotic space in the capital-city university and within the region taken as a whole.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
As perceived protectors of the Congolese cultures figuratively and realistically and agents of positive economic and social changes, the role and the place of the Congolese women in general in the development schemes cannot be denied. However, intellectual debates about what the Congolese society at large expects the Congolese university women to contribute to the discourses about development and its various models have not been systematically studied. While, for instance, the discourse about the parity between women and men in the workplace is being promoted by the government, the studies on gender in higher education is still in its infancy. This study investigates women’s role within the context of the evolution of educational systems and their values since the Belgian administration. It examines educational policies in relationship to the models of development that both colonial and post-colonial administrations formulated and implemented. Although the study is essentially a reflection, putting an emphasis on conceptualization and theories, it is also supported by historical and cultural arguments and propositions. It is argued that the Congolese university women have ‘citizenry responsibility’ and ‘university education and engagement’ to propose new leadership role in development. Using historical-structuralist perspectives as developed in social sciences at large, I analyze further the issue of the nature of the relationship between the place and the role of university and that of leadership and development. I raise the issue of whether or not the Congolese university women’s leadership matters in the search for developmental models in the Congo.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In order to dismantle institutionalised tribalism in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has fostered recurring war and armed conflict, its lynchpin of ethnocentric citizenship must be removed. Due to the Congolese law of nationality by birth being grounded in ethnicity, Congolese nationality has been and remains subject to political manipulation, particularly concerning the Banyamulenge people. In the latter half of the twentieth century the Congolese state has alternatively granted, withdrawn and reinstated their Congolese citizenship. Fundamentally, the basic Congolese nationality law - anchored in the Congolese Constitution - perpetuates a legal framework for racial division which does nothing to hinder but only enables malicious sympathies that tend toward exclusion, persecution, expulsion and genocide. To address this existential flaw, this article describes how the primacy of ethnicity in the Congolese law of nationality by birth violates three international human rights treaties that the DRC has accepted, thus laying a foundation for legal action to change the Constitution and nationality law of the DRC.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract This essay explores how Congolese Protestants developed a partnership with Kentucky-born Methodist evangelist Ford Philpot from 1966 to 1978. Philpot’s revival tours allowed Congolese clergy to negotiate as equals with U.S. Protestants, marking a major change from the dominant role of missionaries prior to independence in 1960. During and after Philpot’s crusades Congolese Protestants wrote Philpot about their spiritual views and their troubles in Mobutu’s Zaire. Instead of being merely passive followers of Philpot’s evangelical and charismatic preaching, Congolese sought to use him as a source of financial patronage as well as spiritual support. This essay questions common assumptions regarding U.S.-Congolese ties under Mobutu, and investigates how the rise of evangelical Christianity in postcolonial Africa was clearly shaped by cold war concerns as well as anxieties over national identity and the rise of African dictatorships.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The subject of discourse in this study is ‘leadership and governance
imperatives for development in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’. The
qualitative research method was deemed the most suitable in attaining
the objectives of the study. The study comprises six chapters. The main
objective of the study is to contribute to an understanding of the
challenges that constitute a stumbling block for the establishment of a
system that promotes good governance and places the DRC on the path
to development. Beyond the analysis of challenges, the study also
examines the environment in which leaders evolve and it focuses on
leadership challenges and governance imperatives that prevail in the
current setting of the country. In this context, the study formulates a
framework for leadership development. The study aims at proposing a
perspective for leadership development considering the fact that the DRC
urgently requires leaders who are competent and effective, and who can
consider modern principles of management and governance as provided
by the case studies of Brazil and Botswana in order to offer the much
needed leadership in the nation-building process. Considering the crises
the DRC has endured throughout the years, leadership’s role is of great
importance as leaders have the ability to transform the adverse
circumstances that Congolese people have faced since the inception of
independence. The study insists that is possible only if leaders can
inspire hope and change the patterns of how things have been done in
the country. The DRC needs leaders who are able to help unleash its
potential and allow the country to regain and to maximise its strategic
position as a significant player in the continental geopolitical affairs. The
thesis argues that the success of any leadership mainly depends on the
kind of social order that prevails in the DRC and on the type of the
political arrangement adopted by its leaders.
The main challenge facing the DRC is establishing an effective
leadership. The legacy of colonisation coupled with the misrule by
Congolese cadres have made it difficult for the DRC to secure a system
that promotes good governance and creates conditions for economic
development. An effective and purposeful leadership has the ability to
provide a clear policy guideline that might bring about change in the
functioning of the country’s institutions. In the case of the DRC, an
effective leadership will be the one that will create an environment that
promotes the reforms much needed in the political and administrative
structures of the country and, consequently, enhance conditions for a
successful implementation of policies for the betterment of all. This study
proposes that Congolese people deserve a civilised nation and a set of
capable leaders who can maximise the country’s abundant resources so
that citizens can benefit from the country’s wealth. As soon as the DRC
finds the path to prosperity and development, it will be possible for the
country to also impact positively on its neighbouring countries and the
whole continent at large.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Byrne, Jennifer. "The Plight of Congolese Women: Opportunities for Sustainable Gains and Gender Parity". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/55.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper considers the situation of Congolese women and their almost complete social, political and economic marginalization in society. The Congolese constitution formulates the principle of gender parity between men and women; however, numerous provisions of the law still actively discriminate against women, relegating them to the status of second-class citizens. The violent conflict that the Congo has experienced and continues to experience has only exacerbated the socio-economic and cultural differences in status between men and women. How are Congolese women responding to these obstacles and have they been able to make any sustainable gains in doing so?
The findings of this paper contend that despite the inequities that they experience in the social, political and economic spheres, Congolese women have in fact been able to take steps towards achieving gender equality. The conflict that has so negatively affected them has also provided them with intended and unintended opportunities for improving their situation. One such opportunity is evident in the creation of City of Joy, a women empowerment program established and developed entirely by Congolese women. A refuge for survivors of sexual violence, City of Joy helps rehabilitate these women with the hope that they will have acquired the necessary tools to catalyze social change as they are reintegrated into their respective communities after the six-month program.
City of Joy as a case study illustrates both the opportunities for empowerment and change as well as the difficulties of providing women with meaningful agency given the structural obstacles that they are faced with. Although it is difficult to evaluate the long-term success and sustainability of the program, the general observations that can be gleaned from this example demonstrate that war and conflict can create fresh beginnings and new opportunities for women to produce their own social, political and economic realities. City of Joy, although limited in scope, is a socially enhancing program and a pragmatic step toward increasing the probability of a peaceful outcome in the aftermath of a brutal and long-lasting conflict and will ultimately have a positive long-term effect Congolese society.

Uganda currently hosts 1.4 million refugees and conflict-affected people. Known as the “best place” in Africa to be a refugee, Uganda’s policies encourage self-sufficiency and local integration. However, many refugees, particularly women and girls, face persistent challenges. Understanding the reproductive health needs of this population and exploring the accessibility of services for conflict-affected populations in this low-income host country is a priority. This multi-methods study aimed to assess the reproductive health needs of displaced Congolese women in camp- and urban-based settings in Uganda. We interviewed key informants, facilitated focus group discussions with refugee women, and conducted in-depth interviews with Congolese women of reproductive age to better understand knowledge, attitudes, practices, and services. Our results suggest that Congolese refugees have significant unmet reproductive health needs. Maternal health and delivery care is characterized by insufficient human resources, inconsistent medication availability, discrimination, bribery, and communications challenges. The availability of contraceptive products, including emergency contraception, is limited in camp-based settings due to supply-chain management challenges and theft by staff; lack of contraceptive knowledge among Congolese refugees shapes use. Finally, the legal restrictions on abortion lead to unsafe practices among refugees and pose a barrier to the provision of post-abortion care. This study provides insight for opportunities to improve the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services to refugees in Uganda to ensure that the infrastructure and processes align with national policies and international guidelines.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been described as the ‘rape capital of the world’ due to the severity and brutality of sexual violence that Congolese women experience.
Sexual violence as a weapon of war in conflict-torn areas takes the form of rape, sexual slavery and the insertion of objects into cavities (such as knives, rifle barrels, pieces of glass, sticks, wood, bottles and pestles coated in chili pepper). It predominantly targets girls as young as two years old and women as old as eighty years old. Perpetrators of such illegal and immoral acts of violence in eastern DRC (North Kivu and South Kivu provinces) include members of the national army, members of rebel groups and United Nations Peacekeeping personnel. Congolese women’s rights are constantly undermined and violated. This is despite the country’s legal obligations to protect Congolese women through its ratification of a number of international and regional conventions and treaties which promote the rights of women and prohibit sexual violence. The Congolese Constitution contains provisions aimed at promoting and protecting women’s rights, including the protection of women against sexual violence.
Despite various pieces of legislation and calls by human rights activists to halt acts of sexual violence, Congolese women continue to face unwanted pregnancies, abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, destroyed reproductive organs, injuries and even death. Sexual violence continues unabated in eastern DRC as a tactic used by various armed groups to terrorise and control the population living in conflict-torn eastern DRC. This mini-dissertation is a cry for justice in that it highlights sexual violence crimes and other human rights abuses faced by women in eastern DRC and calls for perpetrators to be held accountable.Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Ngongo, Ngashi. "Health System Predictors of Antenatal Care Compliance Among Rural Congolese Women". ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2038.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Fewer rural Congolese women complete 4 antenatal care (ANC) visits than do urban women, despite high maternal and child mortality rates. This quantitative cross-sectional survey applied Andersen's behavioral model of service utilization to examine whether the ANC facility type, provider type, provider gender, time to ANC facility, cost, and number of services can predict ANC compliance among rural women. The study was a secondary analysis of the 2015 Maternal and Child Health (MCH) survey, which comprised 1,280 eligible women selected through stratified random sampling. The analysis included bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions. The findings showed that women seen in private facilities, AOR = 2.220, 95% CI [1.384, 3.561], p < .01; women seen by female providers, AOR = 1.407, 95% CI [1.055, 1.877], p < .05; and women receiving 7 to 9 ANC services, AOR = 1.680, 95% CI [1.142, 2.472], p < .05, were more likely to complete 4 ANC visits. The cost of services and time to the ANC facility had no association with ANC compliance. Further analysis showed that private facilities provided more services (median of 6 vs. 5, p = .000) and had more women attended to by doctors (11% vs. 2%, p = .000) and female providers (72.9% vs. 58.4%, p < .001). These findings suggest that service quality and provider gender play a role in ANC compliance in rural areas. Therefore, Congolese health authorities should establish quality improvement programs and incentives to attract female providers to rural areas. This study contributes to positive social change by identifying ANC access barriers of rural populations and informing future efforts to close the urban-rural gap in MCH outcomes.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims to explore the existing knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding HIV/AIDS among Congolese refugees living in Cape Town in order to create awareness and suggest possible measures to avert the spread of the pandemic among them. The target population are Congolese refugees living in Cape Town, with a refugee or an asylum seeker status. Due to the total population and difficulties in contacting them, the participants (50) were randomly selected among traders and hair dressers. The study used a quantitative research design. The Desk Top Market train station in Cape Town is an open market place where most Congolese traders sell their goods to the public. The data were collected at this market area in Cape Town using a questionnaire. To avoid any possible discrimination or stigmatisation resulting from being identified as a refugee in the study, the Congolese were contacted from the market place without screening them on the basis of their status. The participants were, however, required to tick their status in a box provided on the questionnaire. Furthermore, strict confidentiality was maintained to avoid the possible stigmatisation arising from the Congolese traders’ refugee status. According to the findings Congolese refugees have knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the route of transmission. The majority knows how to protect themselves against HIV/AIDS but it seems this protection discontinue shortly after a quick trust between them and their partners. It is may be because most refugees are in need of financial protection on their arrival so they do not have any other choice than to let it go. During the process of data collection there was an opportunity to discuss with some of them protection and most of them stated that condom use is not safe as condoms breaks often. Many Congolese do not believe in male circumcision for the reduction of risk because 100% of them are circumcised and some still have contracted HIV/AIDS. Some of Congolese does believe HIV can be cured because they have seen people who were cured through prayers. The findings also indicate the level of awareness is very low in this community because they still believe they can just by looking at other individuals they can detect if someone is HIV positive or not.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie was daarop toegespits om die bestaande kennis, houdings en praktyke met betrekking tot MIV/vigs onder Kongolese vlugtelinge in Kaapstad te ondersoek ten einde bewustheid te wek en moontlike maatreëls voor te stel om te keer dat die pandemie onder hulle versprei. Die teikenpopulasie was Kongolese wat in Kaapstad woon en oor vlugteling- of asielsoekerstatus beskik. Weens die groot omvang van die ondersoekpopulasie en uitdagings om met hulle in verbinding te tree, het die navorser lukraak vyftig (50) deelnemers uit die geledere van handelaars en haarkappers gekies. Die data is met behulp van ’n vraelys by die Desk Top-mark op Kaapstad-stasie ingesamel. Die studie het van ’n kwantitatiewe navorsingsontwerp gebruik gemaak. Die Desk Top-mark by Kaapstad-stasie is ’n buitelugmark waar die meeste Kongolese handelaars hul goedere aan die publiek verkoop. Om te voorkom dat enigeen wat in die studie as ’n vlugteling geïdentifiseer word enige moontlike diskriminasie of stigma ervaar, het die navorser voor die voet onderhoude met Kongolese by die mark gevoer sonder om hulle na hul verblyfstatus uit te vra. Die deelnemers moes egter hul status op die vraelys aandui deur die toepaslike blokkie te merk. Voorts is streng vertroulikheid gehandhaaf om enige moontlike stigma vanweë die respondente se vlugtelingstatus te voorkom. Die bevindinge toon dat Kongolese vlugtelinge wél oor ’n mate van kennis van MIV/vigs en die verspreiding daarvan beskik. Die meeste respondente weet hoe om hulself teen MIV/vigs te beskerm, hoewel daardie beskerming oënskynlik gestaak word kort nadat hulle ’n vertrouensverhouding met hul bedmaats ontwikkel. Dít kan daaraan toegeskryf word dat die meeste vlugtelinge met hul aankoms in die land finansiële beskerming nodig het en dus nie anders kan as om veilige sekspraktyke te laat vaar indien hul bedmaats daarop aandring nie. Gedurende die proses van data-insameling was daar geleentheid vir gesprek met die respondente, waaruit geblyk het dat kondoomgebruik na hulle mening nie juis veilig is nie, aangesien kondome dikwels breek. Min Kongolese glo dat manlike besnydenis die gevaar van MIV/vigs verminder, aangesien hulle almal besny is, maar sommige steeds MIV/vigs opdoen. Sommige glo dat MIV/vigs genees kan word, omdat hulle getuies was van hoe mense deur gebed gesond geword het. Die bevindinge dui ook op ’n baie lae bewustheidsvlak in hierdie gemeenskap: Baie glo steeds dat ’n mens met die blote oog kan bepaal of iemand MIV-positief is of nie.

AbstractThe Virunga Transboundary Conservation Area (VTCA) shown in Figure 1 is a 434 km2 natural heritage/wildlife complex. One part comprises a 240 km2 portion of the mountainous Virunga National Park, which was created in 1925 inside the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As such, Virunga National Park, with a total land area of 7,800 km2 (Figure 2), is not wholly located in the VTCA. The main focus of this paper is the Mikeno sector of the park, an area of approximately 250 km2, which happens to be part of the VTCA territory (Figure 2). The entire park was placed on the World Heritage List in 1979 and pronounced a World Heritage Site in Danger in 1994. The second part of the VTCA is an alpine area covering some 160 km2 of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, which was created in 1929 and designated as a Biosphere Reserve (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The third part, also mountainous, is a 33.7 km2 area within the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (MGNP) in Uganda (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The MGNP was established in 1964 as a reserve to protect the mountain gorilla and it was inscribed onto the World Heritage Tentative List in 2007. This ‘three-in-one’ natural heritage area lies between 1°21′50′′ S and 29°38′17′ E.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as the DRC or Congo-Kinshasa, is located in Central Africa. It borders nine African countries: Congo (Brazzaville), Central African Republic, Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Angola. It has a small coastline on the Atlantic. It is the largest Francophone country in Africa, the second largest country in Africa, and the eleventh largest country in the world. The size of the country means that the DRC spans two time zones. Sparsely populated, the DRC had 81.3 million inhabitants in 2017. Business hours for most firms and government offices are from 0800 to 1700 Monday to Friday and Saturday from 0730 to 1200. The national currency in DRC is the Congolese franc (CDF).

In Choice of Law in International Commercial Contracts. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198840107.003.0012.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter highlights Congolese perspectives on the Hague Principles. It first outlines the sources of private international law for international commercial contracts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Until July of 2016, Articles 8–15 of the Decree of May 4, 1895 (Title II of the Civil Code Book I) constituted the most relevant national source of private international law. As of January of 2019, there is no plan from the Congolese authorities for the adoption of new conflict of laws provisions after the repeal of Title II of the Congolese Civil Code I. If new rules of private international law were developed and adopted, the Hague Principles could theoretically play an important part in providing the Congolese lawmakers with apt rules on choice of law in international commercial contracts. However, since most Congolese lawmakers, judges, and legal advisors do not know the Hague Principles yet, their use for the development of new statutes is practically unlikely. Hence, it is important to widely diffuse the Hague Principles in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter employs the tools of complexity theory to describe the evolution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) governance system from post-colonial times to the present. It argues that a form of symbiosis emerged among armed groups, traditional leaders, businesses, and state actors, resulting in a highly networked form of governance in eastern Congo. These relationships acted as ‘strong attractors’ in the Congolese governance system, drawing resources and political energy away from state institutions and increasing reliance on violent actors to stabilize the system. During the DRC’s civil wars, this reliance on armed actors grew, while the ability of private businesses to market Congo’s natural resources internationally meant that viable state institutions were never able to develop. The result was a highly resilient, adaptive, largely non-state system of governance that tended to strip central authorities of power and resources even as it appeared to build state institutions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Islamic State’s Central Africa Province (ISCAP) is the Islamic State’s newest province--both in Africa and globally--and the only province declared after the fall of Baghuz in March 2019. ISCAP is composed of two “wings”: one in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the other in northern Mozambique. ISCAP’s Congolese wing, (ISCAP - Congo) originated from the re-branding of a longstanding, Ugandan-led Islamist insurgency known as the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). By granting the ADF “affiliate utility validation” and elevating to a wing of its new Central African Province in April 2019, the Islamic State was able to ostensibly expand into new territories, helping it to retain its preeminence within the global jihadist sphere despite the reputational losses it might otherwise have suffered following its defeats in the core territories which made it so infamous. The relationship between the Islamic State Central and ISCAP–Congo has seen the former offering tangible--though still limited--assistance as its “sovereign subordinate” Congolese affiliate has come under significant military pressure. Though a newcomer to the scene, by al-Baghdadi’s death, ISCAP–Congo remained among the Islamic State’s most potent and deadly affiliated insurgencies.

IntechOpen, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.109319.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Oxidative stress, characterized by excessive production of reactive species, is involved in several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, chronic obstructive pulmonary, sickle cell, chronic kidney, neurodegenerative, and cancer. The negative impact of ROS and RNS, produced by endogenous and exogenous processes, is neutralized by antioxidant defenses. Given the importance of oxidative stress to human health, the use of antioxidants as therapy directs medical research toward the specificity of antioxidants causing each disease. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and phytoceuticals, the consumption of which reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases. Flora of African countries is endowed with plant species that would make a putative source for new antioxidants. This article reports antioxidant activities of traditional foods from Democratic Republic of the Congo. Further studies are needed to ensure mechanisms of their functionality in the human body.

‘It’s a classic failed state’, the general explained to me as we looked at a huge map of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) tacked to his wall in the United Nations (UN) compound. It showed small green bubbles around towns in the East—Goma, Lubumbashi, Kisangani—while most of the rest of the country was a blank topography, bisected by the long curve of the Congo River. ‘You see’, he said, pointing at one of the green bubbles, ‘here we have an island of stability, a pocket where we’ve helped the Congolese government fight back the armed groups and hold some territory. The rest is pretty much up for grabs out there. Armed groups, bandits, militias, rapes, killings, no state presence at all. Empty.’...

Abstract This chapter studies a typical case where Blue Helmets matched the perpetrators’ use of violence against civilians, the 2013 joint operations conducted by the Forces armées de la république démocratique du Congo (FARDC) and the UN’s Force Intervention Brigade (FIB) against the armed insurgent group Mouvement du 23 Mars (M23) in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Under an exceptionally strong mandate—where the UN Security council expected the Force Intervention Brigade to use of force to protect civilians—Blue Helmets and Congolese armed forces deterred, coerced, and destroyed the armed group’s ability to conduct operations, ceasing its threats and attacks against civilians. While the case underscores the need for tailored and timely operations to protect, other factors emerge to explain successful outcomes.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In this study, Agave Sisalana plant fibers supplied from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are characterized. Tensile test to determine their mechanical properties and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to determine their thermal properties are performed. Fiber diameter is measured using an Industrial Optical Microscope (Nikon Eclipse LV150, Japan) considering the average value from 3 sections of 3 fiber samples with 50X, 100X and 200X magnification. Furthermore, the ASTM D3379 standard is used in the evaluation of the tensile properties by using a Universal Tensile Testing Machine (Shimadzu Autograph AGS-X, Japan) with a 5kN load cell capacity. The experiment is performed with a 30 mm gauge length and 1 mm/min crosshead speed. To ensure sufficient fiber fastening to the tensile machine, fiber is glued earlier to a rectangular structure of 40 mm in width and 50 mm in length. Both sides of the frame are cut to free the fiber sample before the tensile test. Thermogravimetric analysis is performed to determine the thermal stability of the fibers. The results obtained from these test and analysis are compared with similar studies in the literature and interpreted comparatively.

In ASME 2009 12th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2009-16322.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Extensive copper and cobalt ore deposits can be found in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the city of Kolwezi. These deposits have been mined via open pit and underground mines since the 19th century with many changes in control of the mines including colonial industrial control and Congolese government control. With the recent re-establishment of a relatively stable democratic government in the DRC, foreign investors returned to the area to restart mining activities that were abruptly terminated in the 1990’s due to political turmoil. Some of these new projects are being performed in accordance with World Bank and International Finance Corporation Social & Environmental Sustainability standards. As part of these standards, radiological characterization of the mines, processing facilities, and surrounding environment was conducted to establish current conditions, evaluate human health and ecological risks, and provide a basis for establishment of radiation safety and environmental remediation programs. In addition to naturally occurring radioactive materials associated with the copper/cobalt ore, the site was reputedly historically used to store ore from the Shinkolobwe uranium mine, the source of the uranium ore for the World War II Manhattan project. The radiological characterization was conducted via extensive gamma radiation surveys using vehicle-mounted sodium-iodide detectors, random grid composite soil sampling, biased soil sampling of areas with elevated gamma radiation levels, and sampling of surface water features. The characterization revealed broad areas of elevated gamma radiation levels of up to 160 μGy/hr in two distinct areas believed to be the Shinkolobwe uranium mine ore storage locations. Other areas, with gamma radiation levels of up to 80 μGy/hr, were detected associated with copper/cobalt ore refinery tailings and waste rock (overburden) sediments. The gamma radiation surveys revealed that elevated radiation levels were largely confined to areas previously disturbed by mechanized mining activities. Radiological contaminants in local surface water sources were within drinking water standards with the exception of one river heavily polluted with both uranium and other metals by waste streams from an ore processing and refining facility. Surrounding areas that appeared to be undisturbed by mining, including agricultural areas, native villages, and urban colonial-architecture cities, exhibited soil concentration and gamma radiation levels consistent with expected background levels.

Only in 1998, the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia – Satversme, which has been adopted more than a hundred years ago and is one of the oldest constitutions in Europe, was supplemented with a new chapter concerning the regulation of fundamental human rights. Until the adoption of Chapter 8 of the Satversme, only a few fundamental human rights could be found in the Constitution. The article discusses the development of the regulation of fundamental rights in the Satversme, the importance of fundamental rights in a democratic state, as well as reflects the catalogue of fundamental rights. In the article, the authors, looking at the catalogue of fundamental rights included in the Satversme, analyses fundamental rights by dividing them in groups, i.e. civil, political, social, economic, cultural and solidarity rights. The publication outlines the most characteristic features of each group of fundamental rights, points out content of those rights and looks into the recent case law of the Constitutional Court. The publication can contribute to the study material for law students of constitutional law course.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In contexts of protracted violent conflict, school environments play a key role in children’s psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing. Research by the REALISE education project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) provides a better understanding of how violent conflict penetrates schools; the relationship between school staff, students, parents, and the local community; and the role of children’s social entourage. It identifies key considerations for education projects operating in these contexts and how they can best support the wellbeing of children, including those who are extremely isolated or experience marginalisation on the basis of gender or minority status.
