Approche analytique des conditions de travail des agents de sécurité au sein des sociétés de gardiennage et de surveillance au Burundi
(UB, FLSH, 2025-09) Ndacayisaba, Vénuste; Sous la direction de : Dr. Melchicedec Nduwayezu
This study explores the working conditions of security guards in private security and surveillance companies in Burundi, focusing on the Mukaza commune as a case study. Despite their essential role in the security of property and people, security guards are subject to precarious working conditions that compromise their well-being and their social and professional recognition.
The main objective is to analyze the impact of these conditions on the agents' professional satisfaction, particularly in terms of recognition and respect for their rights. The research is guided by three hypotheses: widespread professional dissatisfaction, an ambiguous perception of the usefulness of their profession, and a link between low unionization and the exploitation of agents.
The adopted methodology is qualitative. Data collection relied on semi-structured interviews conducted with agents (unionized and non-unionized) and supervisors, supplemented by direct observation at the workplace. Information sources were diversified (written documents, electronics sources, and oral testimonies).
The results of this survey highlight extremely precarious working conditions: excessively long hours, lack of adequate rest, job insecurity due to the absence of written contracts, lack of social coverage (Heath insurance), and insufficient work equipment. These factors, aggravated by a low rate of unionization, confirm a feeling of exploitation and lack of recognition.
In conclusion, this study establishes the existence of a phenomenon of structural precarization of the security guard profession in Burundi. The main recommendations aim at the urgent improvement of the legal framework of the sector and the strengthening of social and union protection structures for these workers.
Déterminants de non-complétude des visites prénatales en mairie de Bujumbura
(UB, FLSH, 2025-06) Basaba, Albin; Sous la direction de : Dr Jean François Régis Sindayihebura
Prenatal visits in Burundi remain a hot topic at both the national and provincial levels. The issue prompted us to conduct a bivariate and multivariate study to identify the determinants of incompleteness of prenatal visits among women in Bujumbura town hall, namely: desire for pregnancy, household standard of living, and parity. Our objective was to understand the influence of socioeconomic, sociocultural, sociodemographic, and geographic factors on the completeness of prenatal visits. The study was conducted in Bujumbura town hall using secondary data from the EDSB-III (2016-2017). The results found by the bivariate analysis showed that the desire for pregnancy, household standard of living, and parity are the factors that determine the incompleteness of prenatal visits among women in Bujumbura town hall. Similarly, through multivariate analysis, we found that the desire for pregnancy is the most determining variable for the incompleteness of prenatal visits in Bujumbura town hall. Women who do not want pregnancy run more than 1.72 times the risk of incomplete prenatal visits than women who want pregnancy. Taking these results into account will help reduce unwanted pregnancies, reduce the number of children per woman and increase the standard of living of households in order to increase the completeness of prenatal visits in Bujumbura town hall.
Catastrophes socio-naturelles et résilience : Représentations et pratiques des habitants du bassin versant de la rivière Gasenyi face au risque d'inondation
(UB, FLSH, 2025-10) Ngendakumana, Christ Marie Fortuné; Sous la direction de : Pr. Jean Marie Nduwayo
Although the neighborhoods within the Gasenyi river basin are identified as flood risk zone, in the absence of regulation by urban planning services, they continue to be occupied in an unplanned and anarchic manner, in a context of insufficient urban planning. Additionally, these neighborhoods face significant issues with the drainage of rainwater and wastewater, which increases their vulnerability to flooding. Despite recurrent floods and the ongoing risk of future flooding, people live there and continue to settle in the area.
This research questions how the residents of these neighborhoods perceive the flood risk they face, as well as how they perceive their living environment and, to some extent, the motivations or reasons behind their settlement in this zone. It also explores how these perceptions influence residents' behaviors regarding space occupation and flood resilience.
This study highlights that flood risk is often perceived by residents in a concrete and immediate way. Indeed, the concept of “risk zone”, frequently used in the literature and by experts, does not correspond to how the inhabitants of the Gasenyi River basin perceive the risk and their living environment. The increased flood risk is increasingly localized to specific places, which are linked to directly perceptible visual indicators such as ravines or the fact that the dwelling is situated close to the river.
This way of conceiving the risk and the environment at risk profoundly influences behaviors related to space occupation and the decision to adopt or not protective measures. Personal experience with floods, whether experienced or not, the position of living upstream or downstream of the Gasenyi River, the cultural capital associated with socioeconomic status, or attachment to property are also factors that influence residents’ perceptions and their adoption of protective measures. This research also shows that beyond the natural hazard, It is a tangle of social, economic, and political factors that exacerbates vulnerability to floods and motivates the settlement of inhabitants in this risk zone.
Tathmini ya Mbinu za Uundaji wa Istilahi za Uwanja wa Tiba: Uchunguzi Kifani wa Kamusi ya Tiba, Toleo la 2003
(UB, FLSH, 2025-03) Burakuvye, Montfort; Sous la direction de: 1. Pr. Ferdinand Mberamihigo 2. Dr. Dieudonné Butoyi
This study aimed to assess the approaches to creating terminology in the field of medicine. The specific objectives were first to identify terms related to diseases. Second, it sought to define the terminology creation methods used to develop these terms, and third, to provide reasons for the use of the selected methods. This study was guided by the Content Analysis Theory (CAT) established by Krippendorff (2004) as well as the Scientific Terminology Theory (STT) presented by Kiingi (1989) and further developed by Kiingi Mwaro-Were (2000). The investigation revealed the main methods used, such as Borrowing, Loan Translation, Literal Translation, Equivalent Translation, Explanatory Translation, and Semantic Translation. Moreover, the study showed that no single method is sufficient on its own. The Scholars used various methods to achieve their goals. The reasons for using the proposed translation methods include the lack of equivalents in different dictionaries due to globalization and the emergence of new terminology frequently, to fill the gap of missing equivalents, and to avoid proposing terms that would distort the meaning of terminology from SL to TL. The Explanatory Translation, and Semantic Translation tmethod were used because medical language is difficult to understand. By providing more understanding through Explanatory Translation, and Semantic Translation of terms to the audience of the Medical Dictionary, the 2003 edition gains more clarity and comprehension of the meaning of the respective terms. There are other areas that have not been subjected to such research, such as the field of medicine, medical science, and surgery. Researchers can conduct comparative studies of the terminology creation methods used in the process of coining Medical Dictionary.
Analyse du niveau de performance physique des joueuses du club de netball de la Mutuelle de la Fonction Publique à Bujumbura
(UB, IEP, 2025-09) Bivuzimana, Méthode; Sous la direction de : Dr Japhet Ndayisenga
This research focuses on analyzing the physical performance level of female netball players from the Mutuelle de la Fonction Publique (MFP) club at Bujumbura. The main objective was to determine whether the team’s dominance in national competitions results from genuine athletic superiority or rather from the relatively low performance level of their opponents. The study involved female players aged 35 years and above. To assess their physical qualities, standardized tests were used: the Cooper test for aerobic endurance, the 20-meter sprint for speed, the T-Test for agility, and the vertical jump test for lower limb power. The findings revealed that most players demonstrated an average performance level across the majority of the tests. In the Cooper test, 60% of the players scored average, 30% good, and 10% poor. In the 20-meter sprint, 40% were average, 30% good, and 30% poor. Regarding agility, 40% achieved good results, 30% average, and 30% poor. For the vertical jump, 60% scored average, 30% poor, and only 10% good. These results indicate that the physical performance of the MFP players is generally moderate and does not align with international standards for elite female athletes. The apparent superiority of the team in national competitions seems to be explained more by team cohesion, experience, and tactical organization, as well as by the relatively weak preparation of their opponents, rather than by a clear physical advantage. This study highlights the necessity of implementing well-structured physical preparation programs to improve endurance, speed, agility, and power among players. Such measures would help to strengthen the team’s performance in a sustainable manner and contribute to the development of women’s netball in Burundi.
