Despite the large number of works devoted to skills and employability, there is little work to clarify the links between these two concepts in Burundian tea and energy industrial enterprises. The objective of our article is to define the elements of an answer to the following question: how can the management of qualifications ensure the employability of Burundian women in tea and energy companies? In this article, we propose a conceptual and exploratory approach at the level of five tea companies and one company producing and distributing water and electricity. First, we present a state of the art on the concepts of individual qualification and employability, and their relationship, and then we discuss the elements that guarantee women's employability.","PeriodicalId":49860,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Models & Methods in Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83038374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of them are fleeing insecurity in their country of origin. As required by the UNHCR Handbook on International Refugee Protection and the Strengthening of National Asylum Systems, these refugees are entitled to adequate reception conditions that meet their basic needs and provide them with a decent standard of living in terms of health and welfare, pending a final decision on their asylum claim. After the reception, they must file their asylum applications as soon as possible with the Burundian asylum authorities, namely the Consultative Commission for Foreigners and Refugees (CCER) and the Appeal Committee (CR). To determine refugee status, these two asylum bodies base themselves on legal instruments, international, regional and national ones. One wonders then which of these legal instruments is used more in the determination of refugee status in Burundi. The analysis focused on the origin of the asylum seekers, on the legal basis of reference in the motivation of the decision as well as on the link between the place of reception of these asylum seekers and the decision taken. To select these files, we took into account the date of arrival of the asylum seekers (old and new) and their country of origin.

Its importance in the socio-economic balance of households is not to be denied. Atmospheric changes and rainfall instability keep agriculture exposed to climate stress and its consequences. Captured through exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, vulnerability is nothing more than a predisposition to experience damage. The exposure of agriculture in the sense of vulnerability is of two kinds. It is both intrinsic and extrinsic. This refers to the conceptual definition that vulnerability is both a factor specific to agriculture and a characteristic of the farmer himself. In addition to the sector, there are the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of each farmer. This article assesses the moderating role of associative dynamics on the coping strategies and level of vulnerability of farmers in the highland area of the Baswagha Chiefdom, in Lubero territory, Democratic Republic of Congo. The data presented are from a survey of 409 heads of households in 5 groups. The results are such that associative dynamics modify the direction of the relationship between coping strategies and vulnerability of farmers, who are exposed at 62.05%; sensitive at 57.54%; have a coping capacity of 35.45%, and are, therefore, vulnerable at 38.36%.","PeriodicalId":49860,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Models & Methods in Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80645290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of considering its original form, whose study of the one-dimensional parameter space has recently received new insights, we examine the Nos´e-Hoover model slightly modified by using a new parameter (cid:15) to introduce a dissipative term to its energizing-damping variable. We use the maximum Lyapunov exponent to numerically characterize the chaotic dynamics of the model, at representative points of the two-dimensional parameter space, treating separately two dynamical regimes resulting from: (i) the effect of lower values of (cid:15) and (ii) the effect of higher values of (cid:15) . It is shown that, for higher values of the new dissipative parameter (cid:15) , the existence of chaotic behavior only prevails for the backwards dynamics.","PeriodicalId":49860,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Models & Methods in Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86067693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparative analysis has allowed us to identify that the acts of soliciting children for sexual purposes are incriminated in article 44 of this law, but that they are poorly qualified. They are qualified as the publication of indecent information in electronic form. This, in our opinion, is wrong in its very substance as we have noted in our study. This being said, the current state of the literature in information and communication technology law uses appropriate terminology to qualify these types of facts which is the solicitation of children for sexual purposes. This is the case with some international legal instruments, as well as the Terminology Guide of the Intra-institutional Working Group, as we have noted.

These were Rwandan refugees who were fleeing massacres in their country. Since then, the reception of refugees has never stopped and Burundi currently has 84,961 refugees, most of whom come from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is a very large number of people, considering the size of Burundi and its population. These refugees come from the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and are fleeing the insecurity caused by the armed groups that are multiplying there. This work is the result of field visits to the five refugee camps in Burundi, which resulted in a total of 90 interviews. The sample included both men and women, taking into account their social status, vulnerability, and seniority (former and new refugees). To collect the data, we used a voice recorder and a notebook at our disposal in which we put some details that needed clarification. We used Word, Excel, and SPSS to process the data. The analysis of these interviews shows the difficulties of the life of these refugees. The objective of this study is to analyze refugees' perception of durable solutions to their problem of exile. As these refugees do not expect to return home, most of them turn to resettlement. Only 37.8% have been selected for resettlement. Naturalization and repatriation, two other durable solutions, are not part of the choice of these refugees who are looking toward resettlement.","PeriodicalId":49860,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Models & Methods in Applied Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79792655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
