Item La cafétaria diététique (Association pour le Développement de la Médecine Naturelle) et la Coopérative Diététique "Abarindiriye» : La Médecine Traditionnelle en résilience.(UB, FLSH, 2025-12) Niyonkuru, Emile; Sous la direction de : Dre. Christella KwizeraThis study analyzes the factors behind the resilience of traditional medicine. It highlights its contributions in social, cultural, and economic aspects. Individual and collective efforts are currently working to preserve knowledge and practices related to traditional medicine. Natural medicine is valued for its healing principles, affordability, and lack of side effects compared to modern medicine. The study also explores anthropological and sociological aspects of disease and health—areas such as medical anthropology and ethnomedicine—emphasizing that understanding illness requires insights into broader social and cultural perceptions (like how illness and health are viewed as social constructs). These elements are essential for guiding professional training and experiences, especially during epidemics or health crises that impact various aspects of life. Analytically, the research focuses on a sociological approach, considering disease causes (etiology) and globalization's effects to better prevent illnesses. Healing is seen as a secondary step when preventive measures fail. Additionally, the relationship between health and nutrition is emphasized—health strongly depends on proper nutrition. Historical and current trends also play a key role. In conclusion, the study addresses health, environmental issues, and the influence of socio-cultural, economic, political, and social changes.Item L’impact de la crise politico-institutionnelle de 2015 sur la coopération internationale au développement entre le Burundi et l'union européenne(UB, FSPJ, 2025-08) Butoyi, Josias; Sous la direction de : Pr. Désire Louis NizigiyimanaThe 2015 political and institutional crisis in Burundi, triggered by the challenge to President Pierre Nkurunziza to run for a third term, profoundly disrupted the country's relations with its international partners, particularly the European Union. The period from 2015 to 2020 was marked by a major political crisis. This led the European Union to suspend part of its direct aid to the Burundian government in March 2016, in accordance with Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement, due to non-compliance with fundamental principles such as democracy, human rights, and good governance. This thesis focuses on the following question: How did the 2015 political and institutional crisis in Burundi affect development cooperation with the European Union through sanctions and the suspension of aid? The results show that the crisis led to a suspension of European Union budget support under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement, causing a contraction in the external resources needed to implement public policies. This situation has hampered the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The Burundian government has adopted a defiant stance, rejecting Western interference and seeking to strengthen its political and economic autonomy by diversifying its partnerships, particularly with China, Russia, and certain African countries.Item Crise des transports urbains : infrastructures, moyens et flux de transport à Bujumbura(UB, FLSH, 2009-03) Niyonkuru, Victor; Sous la direction de : Sylvestre NdayirukiyeItem Crise des trasports urbains : recomposision par le bas et intégration du vélo dans la circulation à Bujumbura(UB, FLSH, 2009-03) Baransaka, Bernard; Sous la direction de : Sylvestre NdayirukiyeItem Contribution à l'amélioration des systèmes d'alimentation des bovins dans la région naturelle de Kirimiro.

Fourteen years after the start of its activities, the analysis of the legal framework and practice on the ground proves that the appropriation of this competence for the reception and protection of refugees and asylum seekers formerly reserved for the High Commissioner for United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) observes certain shortcomings. These shortcomings observed require reforms both at the administrative level and at the level of the legal framework. At the administrative level, such reforms are necessary with regard to finances, the training of personnel involved in the protection of these people who request international protection and asylum authorities. As for the legal framework, concrete normative measures are necessary, especially for certain provisions that do not comply with international norms and standards.Item Etude des possibilités de réalisation d'une centrale hydroélectrique : cas de rivière Ruvyironza(UB, ITS, 2006-01) Ndayishimiye, Germain; Sous la direction de : Ir Vyumvuhore JérômeItem Etude des possibilités de réalisation d'une centrale hydroélectrique : cas de rivière Ruvyironza(UB, ITS, 2006-01) Ndayishimiye, Germain; Madidi, Désiré; Sous la direction de: Ir. Vyumvuhore, JérômeItem 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 NdayisengaThis 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.Item Caractérisation morphologique et anatomique et performances en vermiculture des vers de terre épigés du Burundi(UB, FS, 2025-04) Bankabigero, Onesphore; Sous la direction de : Dr. Kazitsa Eric Gilbert (Directeur); Prof. Bararunyeretse Prudence (Co-directeur)The study of the biological compatibility of earthworms is essential for the development of vermicomposting. Species compatible with vermicomposting are epigeic, ubiquitous, small in size, and reproduce rapidly (2–3 times the initial population within 30–45 days) at temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 °C on various organic substrates. They must also induce physicochemical transformations that result in vermicompost meeting international standards within 2 to 3 months. To support the development of vermiculture and vermicomposting by identifying epigeic earthworms in Burundi that are biologically compatible with this technology, we aimed to: (i) Morphologically and anatomically characterize epigeic earthworm species that demonstrate suitable body mass, survival rates, and population growth within 4 to 6 weeks of laboratory culture on sugarcane and palm oil residues at 18–32 °C; (ii) Identify those capable of inducing physicochemical changes compatible with the vermicomposting process; (iii) Determine which species can produce physicochemically compliant vermicompost within 60 days using sugarcane residues, palm oil waste, cow manure, and rumen content. Adult epigeic earthworms were collected from eight natural regions of Burundi and analyzed morphologically and anatomically in the laboratory and, too morpho - species were identified, including Eudrilus eugeniae, found in 75% of the studied regions, and two others specific to Kumoso and Buyogoma. These earthworms induced physicochemical transformations in substrates (sugarcane and palm oil residues), altering parameters such as pH, salinity, electrical conductivity, and chloride levels, and producing vermicompost enriched with macronutrients, micronutrients, and heavy metals. The results of this study demonstrate that earthworms from various regions of Burundi are biologically suited for vermicomposting and can efficiently convert sugarcane and palm oil waste into high-quality vermicompost. These findings contribute to advancing vermicomposting technology and other vermi-based innovations in Burundi.
