« Tontine, une pratique financière informelle : étude réalisée au marché central de Kindu dans la Province du Maniema au premier semestre 2023 » []


L’entre-aide et la fraternité représentent les principales valeurs spirituelles de l’Afrique en général et de la République Démocratique du Congo en particulier. Soutenir, aider, contribuer et partager sont des verbes principaux de nous africains. Dans nos cultures, il est naturel d’apporter son soutien à un proche dans le bonheur tout comme dans une situation malheureuse. La communauté est à la fois notre porte – monnaie, éducation, expérience, sommier, consolation… la communauté représente tout. L’objectif de cette étude consiste à analyser la tontine, une pratique financière informelle face aux aspects socioculturels du Maniema afin de voir son mode de fonctionnement et les difficultés rencontrées dans cette activité informelle. Nous avons abouti aux résultats selon lesquels les tontines constituent un cadre de sécurité pour les femmes et pour les hommes un moyen d’obtenir les financements de leurs activités à moindre coût, si ce n’est que le temps. La participation aux tontines, donne aux femmes l’occasion d’étendre leur réseau social qu’elles peuvent mobiliser pour faire face à une adversité, un besoin ponctuel d’aide financière.

Follow-up of the biological assessment in people living with HIV and AIDS under treatment with Dolutegravir at the Reference Health Center of Commune V of Bamako in Mali. []


Summary : Introduction/aims: Combination therapy with at least three different antiretroviral drugs is now the standard treatment for all people newly diagnosed with HIV. Combination antiretroviral therapy stops HIV from multiplying and can suppress HIV to undetectable levels in the blood. This allows a person's immune system to recover, overcome infections, and prevent the development of AIDS and other long-term effects of HIV infection. The aim of our study was to assess the state of health of patients on dolutegravir and followed up over 12 months at the CSRéf of commune V. Method: We followed up the evolution of clinical and biological parameters in patients on antiretroviral triple therapy. The variables concerned were the blood count, the viral load and the assays (hemoglobin level, glycaemia, creatinaemia, ALAT), at M0, at M6 and at M12. Results: The female gender was the most represented, i.e. 63.2% of patients, The age group (45 years and over) represents the majority of our sample, i.e. 49.1%. Only 29.8% of our patients weighed less than or equal to 60 kg at the start of treatment. Patients infected with HIV1 were in the majority, i.e. 85.1%. The rate of patients weighing ≥ 60 kg did not statistically increase from inclusion (35.1%) to M12 (36.80%) p=0.416. The rate of non-compliant patients did not experience any statistically significant change: 46.5% at M1; 36.8% at M6; 41.2 to M12. p=1.101, KHI2=138.105. The rate of patients who switched treatment regimens did not experience a statistically significant change from M1 (3.5%) to M6 (4.4%) and M12 (0.9%). P=0.890, KHI2 90.408. In total, only 4.4% of our patients underwent a therapeutic change, ie 2.6% for side effects and 1.8% for stock-out reasons. The difference was statistically significant. p=0.0066, KHI2=94.312. The majority of patients had mild anemia at the start of treatment, ie 86% of our patients. The rate of patients with high ALAT was 20.2% against 79.8% for those with normal ALAT. Serum creatinine for the majority of our patients was normal at 92.1%. The rate of patients with normal blood sugar levels was the majority at the start of treatment, ie 81.6%. The rate of patients with an undetectable VL experienced a statistically significant increase: from 15.8% at M6 and 21.9% at M12. P=0.0000142, KHI2 2.299. Conclusion: This study shows that the biological disorders observed before the initiation of ARV treatment gradually regressed, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of antiretroviral triple therapy based on dolutegravir on HIV infection. Keywords: HIV- Dolutegravir- biological parameters.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STRENGTH BEHAVIOUR OF FLY ASH AND EGGSHELL POWDER STABILIZED SOFT CLAY []


Soil is one of the most vital building materials as it is the foundation of every construction project. Hence, constructing on sites with good soil conditions is a crucial engineering decision. This laboratory study aims to investigate the effects of eggshell powder contents and curing times on the strength behaviour of soft clays stabilized with fly ash (FA) and eggshell powder (ESP). To achieve this, direct shear and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on soft clays samples mixed with a constant percentage of FA (20% by weight) and varying amounts of ESP (0%, 4%, 8%, and 12% by weight) at different curing times (2 hours, 7 days, and 28 days). By ensuring the presence of 20% fly ash in all samples, each proportion of eggshell powder was combined with fly ash to create four distinct sample mixes. The findings show that increasing ESP content significantly enhances the shear strength of the stabilized soil, with the improvement becoming more pronounced with longer curing times. Samples treated with higher ESP content exhibits greater shear strength parameters and unconfined compressive strength compared to those with lower ESP content. Furthermore, it is obvious that the increase in curing duration significantly improved the cohesion, the internal friction angle and the UCS of the stabilized samples. A similarity was observed in the pattern of the shear strength versus ESP content curves, indicating a relatively uniform relationship between them. In the present study, the optimal content of eggshell powder added to the soft clay-fly ash mixture was found to be 12%, which can be valuable for future applications.

These schools include Felix M. Sanvictores Elementary School, Sitio Simona Elementary School, Sitio Tapayan Elementary School, and Taytay Elementary School. The study considered 100 pupil-beneficiaries of enhanced school based feeding program in the said district. Moreover, their parents were considered respondents. From July to March of School Year 2017-2018, these pupils were under the enhanced school-based feeding program wherein each pupil was entitled for a free breakfast and lunch three times a week. The fund of the enhanced school-based feeding program came from the school canteen of the public elementary schools which is the project of each school. Each quarter, the subjects underwent assessment through average grade and measure of body mass index. The pupil-beneficiaries were described in terms of sex, monthly family income and number of children in the family. On the other hand, parent respondents were given the questionnaire-checklist to determine the effects of school-based feeding program on the academic performance of the pupils with respect and motivation to learn, class participation and co-curricular involvement. Descriptive survey research design was applied. Documentary analysis was also used since the average grades of the pupil-beneficiaries were taken from their form 138 as basis of their academic performance. The study revealed that most of the pupil-beneficiaries are males, Majority belong to families with monthly income of ₱11,000-₱15,000. Most of them are either 5th or 3rd born child. Many among them belong to family with 2-3 children. The level of academic performance of pupil-beneficiaries is Satisfactory. The effects of enhanced school feeding program on the performance of the pupils as perceived by their parents with respect to motivation to learn and co-curricular involvement is Much. However, the effect is Moderate when it comes to class participation. The effects of school-based feeding program on the performance of pupil-beneficiaries with respect to motivation to learn class participation and co-curricular involvement when grouped by sex, sibling position, monthly family income and number of children in the family is Significant. The perceived effects of enhanced school-based feeding program with respect to motivation to learn, class participation and co-curricular involvement is Significantly correlated to the academic performance of pupil-recipients. The study concluded sex, sibling position, monthly family income and number of children are variables the affect the perceived effects of the school-based feeding program on the performance of pupil-beneficiaries with respect to motivation to learn, class participation and co-curricular involvement. The academic performance of pupil-recipients is directly correlated to the perceived effects of enhanced school-based feeding program with respect to motivation to learn, class participation and co-curricular involvement. The study recommended that enhanced feeding program my be continued to strengthen pupils’ academic achievement. Parents and teachers may be made aware of the pupils’ nutritional needs in school. The proposed action plan is recommended for implementation. Parallel studies may be conducted considering other variables.

APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM IN MAPPING FLOOD AREAS IN THE ASHAIMAN MUNICIPALITY, GHANA []


Flooding is a serious, common, and costly hazard that many countries face over the years. Flooding due to excessive rainfall in a short period of time is a frequent hazard in the Ashaiman Municipality. In this study, we seek to map flood-prone areas in Ashaiman Municipality, using Geographical Information System (GIS). Identification and mapping of flood-prone areas are valuable for risk reduction. We then mapped flood areas in the municipality using the Boolean Approach in GIS. The result reveals that floodable areas covered approximately an area of 3 km² out of the overall total land size of 45 km². This shows that areas prone to floods cover a quarter of the whole municipality. It is also interesting to note that 846 acres of land were covered by floods in the municipality. Areas liable to flooding were grouped into “most liable to flood” which covered about 375 acres of the land, “less liable to flood” which covered 471 acres of the land, and “not liable to flood” covering the widest acres of land (10,273 acres). The flood-prone zones should be viewed with special attention and given utmost importance. It is recommended that the results obtained can thus be utilized as baseline information for policy-making to combat flood-induced disasters.

Analyzing the Employability Competency of Fourth Year College Business Administration Students []


This study provides a comprehensive overview of the employability competencies valued by graduating college students in Business Administration. The research is a quantitative study that utilizes descriptive approach. This targets 35 graduating students from the College of Business Administration. The study examines the unanimous agreement among students regarding the significance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as the most important skill for employability, possibly due to its ubiquity and relevance in the modern digital workplace. While ICT ranked highest, competencies such as teamwork, problem solving, and communication were also highly regarded, albeit to a lesser extent. The research highlights the awareness among students those employers seek competencies beyond technical proficiency. Adaptability to rapidly changing environments and a willingness to learn new skills were identified as crucial factors in successful job searches, acknowledging the evolving nature of the professional landscape. While students recognize the importance of ICT, they also understand the equal importance of mastering other skill sets such as teamwork, problem solving, and communication. Hence, inferential statistics were used to interpret the gathered data.

Philosophy and Apprenticeship System Amongst Igbo People of Eastern Nigeria: A Critical Appraisal []


Philosophy primarily prides herself as the search for ultimate meaning and knowledge. This meaning is not just merely abstract as many scholars from different disciplines and even philosophy itself suggests; it is rather a realistic and very pragmatic explanation of existing realities in cultures and tradition around the world. The Igbo speaking people of Eastern Nigeria are a unique people with immense written and unwritten cultures laddened with meaning. Chiefly amongts the Igbo culture which requires serious study and investigation is the apprenticeship system. This culture was predominantly prevalent post civil war and served as a reconstruction niche for both pyschological and economic collapse of Ani- Igbo during the Civil War. Indeed the culture of apprenticeship is broadly unwritten as any theory or policy but has transmuted from mere Igbo socio economic culture to an intercultural way of life and survival amongst other tribes and ethnic groups in Nigeria and beyond. This paper therefore seeks to identify philosophy in the apprenticeship system of the Igbos and argue for it's broad development as an economic model for improving the standard of living and unemployment predicament in Nigeria.

THE ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION ON TEACHER EFFECTIVE-NESS: THE PERSPECTIVES OF TEACHERS FROM SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ILIGAN CITY []


The study was mainly concerned with determining the level of satisfaction and the degree of agreements about their job as teaching and non-teaching personnel of the Adiong Memorial Polytechnic State College (AMPSC) at the Municipality of Ditsaa- Ramain in the Province of Lanao del Sur. Specifically, answers to the following questions were sought: 1. What are the socio- demographic characteristics of re-spondents in terms of age, gender, civil status, educational attainment, job tenure, length of service and monthly income? 2. What is the level of job satisfaction of the respondents as to degree of agreements on hygiene or maintenance factors? 3. What is the level of job sat-isfaction of the respondents in terms of agreements as to the motivators? and, 5. What are the problems encountered by AMPSC person-nel in relation with their job and recommendations to resolve them? The study employed the descriptive method of research in determin-ing the level of job satisfaction among the teaching and non-teaching personnel of the Adiong Memorial Polytechnic State College (AMPSC) in Ditsaan Ramain, Lanao del Sur. It explored associations between variables by validating hypotheses through testing using non-inferential tests. A 10-item questionnaire was used to gather data from the 95 teaching and non-teaching personnel of the AMPSC who were completely enumerated. Most of the respondents, both teaching and non-teaching, were middle aged with ages of 36 to 45 years old, were females, married, bachelor’s degree holders, non-permanent as to tenure, length of service ranging from 5 years and below, and with monthly incomes between 9,000.00 to 24,000.00 pesos. Majority of both respondents, the teaching and non-teaching personnel of AMPSC, agreed to all of the hygiene statement indicators. They agreed that working conditions in the school such as working space, facili-ties and equipment were good for one’s health; wages and salaries and other compensation were also good; they got along well with the supervisors; had good opportunities for promotion; and they felt close to people at work and got along well with them. These results indicated that both of the respondents were satisfied with these hygiene factors as provided at AMPSC. Moreover, as to agreements in motivators, both respondents agreed and were thus satisfied with feeling good about their jobs as well as in the opportunities to take responsibility given them in AMPSC. However, in chances to achieve and opportunity for advancement, the teaching personnel disagreed and were therefore dissatisfied about them while the non-teaching personnel did agree on such indicators and were thus satisfied about them. And while the teaching personnel agreed the they were given recognition for job well done and were thus satisfied, the non-teaching personnel on the other hand, disagreed and were therefore dissatisfied about it. The top five (5) problems cited by both teachers and staff were quite similar. These were the lack of laboratory equipment and facilities, chairs, supplies; no maintenance of facilities; unfair management practices; unclear policies and guidelines; and, lack of references, books and reading materials. The rest of the top problems cited by the respondents were mostly administrative in nature. These included the following: disorganized management, improper tasking and unclear designations, lack of interest among the students, presence of attitudes like “palakasan” and crab mentality, lack of proper administrative coordination between heads of offices and their subordinates, and full of plans but no implementation. The respondents also offered their recommendations to solve or minimize the problems they encountered at AMPSC. The top five (5) solutions were as follows: 1) provide/procure equipment, books, and learning aids as well as improve facilities, 2) implement by-laws, policies, and school guidelines as well as improve other physical facilities such as the school’s drainage system and potable water system, 3) enhance task structuring, specialization, and minimize multi-tasking as well as disseminate policies and guidelines through a newsletter, 4) designate a good leader with high academic qualifications and ability to supervise and control, and 5) improve academic qualifications and skills of personnel
