Can permanganate oxidizable carbon, microbial respiration, and carbon mineralization rate reflect carbon dynamics across land use and pedo-climate gradients in West African semi-arid zones?
Gannouka Nadjire, Alimata Arzouma Bandaogo, Amanuel W. Gebremichael, Oumarou Ouédraogo and Joseph Issaka Boussim
Climate variability, soil type, land use, and vegetation structure modulate soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, but their effects on sensitive soil carbon indicators are not adequately quantified in semi-arid ecosystems. This research examined the independent and synergistic impacts of pedo-climate, land use, and canopy cover on permanganate o(...)

La place des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) dans la diffusion des foyers améliorés en Haute-Volta (1977-1983)
DEMBEGA Salam
Les années 1970 furent marquées au Sahel par une sécheresse aux multiples conséquences sur la vie des hommes et l’environnement. Pour réduire la consommation du bois de feu en Haute-Volta, des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) s’engagèrent dans la diffusion des foyers améliorés. Cette étude a pour objet d’analyser la promotion de ces di(...)

Les enjeux du discours philosophique dans le roman africain : le cas de L'Aventure ambiguë de Cheikh Hamidou Kane et La Carte d'identité de Jean-Marie Adiaffi
TIAHO Lamoussa
L’un des traits non négligeables du roman africain réside aussi dans la capacité des écrivains à convoquer le débat philosophique dans l’espace romanesque. La présence du discours philosophique dans la diégèse des romans comme L’Aventure ambiguë de Cheikh Hamidou Kane et La Carte d’identité de Jean-Marie Adiaffi est un signe qui vient attester(...)

La mobilité humano-spatiale dans la littérature burkinabè à travers l'oeuvre romanesque de Monique Ilboudo
TIAHO Lamoussa
Signe des temps modernes, le phénomène de la mobilité humaine n’est pas nouveau dans le roman africain qui, depuis les origines s’est beaucoup intéressé au binarisme spatial entre ville et campagne où on assistait à l’évolution des protagonistes des récits sous une forme de va-et-vient incessants entre les deux pôles (ville/campagne). À l’évid(...)

Current prevalence and socio-demographic factors associated with unmet need for contraception among women in union in sub-Saharan Africa
Matè Alonyenyo Labité, Hervé Bassinga, Zacharie Tsala Dimbuene, Abdramane Bassiahi Soura
This study analyzes the prevalence and sociodemographic factors associated with unmet need for contraception among women in union in sub-Saharan Africa. Using secondary data from recent Demographic and Health Surveys, statistical tests revealed an overall prevalence of 20.7% of unmet need for contraception (13.9% for birth spacing and 6.8% for(...)

Square-mean pseudo almost automorphic Solutions of class r in the α-norm under The light of measure theory
Djendode Mbainadji, Issa Zabsonre
The main objective of this work is to study the existence and uniqueness of the square-mean (μ, ν)-pseudo almost automorphic solution of class r in the α-norm for a stochastic partial functional differential equation. For this purpose, we use the Banach contraction principle and the techniques of fractional powers of an operator to obtain the(...)

Neonatal Mortality in Burkina Faso: An Exploratory Analysis of Determinants and Geospatial Inequalities
Hervé Bassinga
Objectives: This article analyzes the factors associated with neonatal mortality in Burkina Faso, as well as the communal inequalities in this mortality.Methods: The analysis is based on data from the 2021 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). It draws on a representative sample of 7,225 children. The determinants of mortality were examined usi(...)

Heterogeneous effects of financial inclusion on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sié Ernest Youl, Pam Zahonogo, Relwendé Sawadogo
This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using data from 45 countries between 2001 and 2020. We find clear differences in how financial inclusion affects poverty across groups of countries: In the first group, financial inclusion reduces poverty, but in the other two groups, it increases pove(...)

Measuring adult mortality from mobile phone surveys in Burkina Faso, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kassoum Dianou, Bruno Masquelier, Shammi Luhar, Bruno Lankoandé , Ashira Menashe-Oren , Abdramane Soura, Hervé Bassinga, Malebogo Tlhajoane, Boniface Dulani, Pierre Z Akilimali, Georges Reniers
In many low and middle-income countries, adult mortality estimates are derived from surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These interviews can be time-intensive and are often impractical during health crises or humanitarian emergencies. The expansion in cellphone ownership and network coverage has created new opportun(...)

Mapping Agroecology Networks in Burkina Faso : Governance, Challenges and Pathways for Transition
Yasmina Tega, Hycenth Tim Ndah, Eveline Sawadogo/Compaoré, Jean-Marie Dipama and Johannes Schuler
Agroecology is recognized as a resilient agricultural system amid the ecological crisis, but
also as a social movement working towards better livelihoods for farmers. In Burkina
Faso, the dynamics among actors promoting agroecology are not well understood. Effec-
tive governance of the agroecological transition necessitates a deeper comprehe(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Sweet stalk sorghum is grown in Burkina Faso primarily for its grain, forage, and sugar-rich stalks. However, its productivity is heavily reliant on rainfall, and the variability in annual precipitation significantly limits its contribution to household food security. In this context, identifying droughttolerant genotypes with stable performan(...)

Annona senegalensis is a multipurpose wild shrub mainly used for food and traditional medicine by local people in tropical African. During its fruiting period, especially at the green fruit stage, this plant harbors an important community of insects such as various ant species (Formicidae) and the planthopper Hilda undata Walker (Tettigometrid(...)

Asymptotic convergence of the extremes of a geometric random variables sequence
Frédéric Béré, Caleb-Rodolphe Bazié and Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara
In this paper, we give some contributions to the analysis of the behavior of the extremes of a category of random variables (r.v.) of geometric type. First, we exhibit a subsequence making certain r.v. of integer part converge. Then we prove the convergence in law of extremes of a sequence of geometric type r.v. Finally, we prove the mean conv(...)
