Assessing human pressure on wild food and forage tree species for designing effective conservation actions in West Africa Sahel region
Bossila Séraphin Hien, Loyapin Bondé, Sié Sylvestre Da, Fidèle Bognounou, Issaka Joseph Boussim, Oumarou OuédraogoBackground: High harvesting of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for food and fodder supply leads many tree species to be vulnerable or endangered due to overexploitation. This study aimed to assess harvesting pressure on food and forage species and to understand how the socio-economic profile...

Stepanov-like pseudo almost automorphic solutions of infinite class under the light of measure theory delay
Issa ZABSONRE, Djokata VOTSIAThe aim of this work is to study weighted Stepanov-like pseudo almost automorphic functions with infinite delay using the measure theory. We present a new concept of weighted ergodic functions which is more general than the classical one. Then, we establish many interesting results on the space...

Eglise et cohésion social en Afrique : les fondements bibliques de la culture de la paix
DAO JeanLes divers conflits religieux-ethno-nationalistes en Afrique et ailleurs dans le monde ont amené de nombreux chercheurs à croire que la religion est la principale cause des conflits. Pourtant, beaucoup d’études montrent aujourd’hui que la religion joue un rôle très important dans la...

Comparative study of the effects of Herbal and chemical Coagulants in the clarification of raw water
58. Anderson F. Konkobo, Mamounata Diao, Paul W. Savadogo, Jean Diarra and Mamoudou H. DickoThe use of aluminum sulphate in clarifying raw waters raises many concerns about its impact on
human health. Thus, the present study was initiated to compare the effects of Moringa oleifera and
aluminum sulphate besides evaluating the association between M. oleifera or aluminum sulphate...

Identification and Agronomic Performance of Species of the Genus Amaranthus Grown in Burkina Faso
Ouedraogo Jacques*, Kiebre Mariam, Kabore Boukare, Sawadogo Boureima, Kiebre Zakaria, Bationo Kando PaulineThe present study was carried out on eighty (80) accessions from Burkina Faso. It has a double objective: to identify the different species of amaranths cultivated and to estimate their agronomic performances. To this end, twenty-four (24) descriptors were used to characterize the collection,...

De la condition féminine dans M'ba Sida de l'artiste musicienne Wendy
KABORE BarthélemyLa chanson est un texte oral qui se prête mieux à l’expression des sentiments et des ressentiments du sujet. C’est un exutoire pour la femme moaaga, victime de stéréotypes sociaux de s’épancher et de revendiquer un mieux-être. L’artiste Wendy s’en sert à juste titre pour...

Numerical Study of the Thermal Performance of Three Roof Models in Hot and Dry Climates
Windé Nongué Daniel Koumbem1*, Issaka Ouédraogo2, Wend Dolean Arsène Ilboudo2, Pèlèga Florent Kieno1The thermal performance of three roofing models: tile, corrugated and earth terrace is numerically analyzed. The mathematical equations which govern the three roofing models are established by the electrical method of analogies. These equations are discretized by an implicit finite difference...
