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(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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(...)

Stay-green potential and interannual stability of sweet-stalk sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso
Salif Berthé; Wendmanegda Hermann Tondé; Pingawindé Sawadogo; Josiane Tiendrebeog; , Djakaridja Tiama;, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
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(...)

Insect visitors of green fruits of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) and their potential role in the plant fruiting
Zézouma Anselme Dao, Rahim Romba, Ainara Peñalver-Cruz, Pascale Satour, Bruno Jaloux, Amadé Ouédraogo, Olivier Gnankiné
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(...)

Deep learning models for binary ddos attack detection in enterprise environments
Yacouba OUATTARA Yaya TRAORE Yves SAVADOGO
This paper proposes an experimental methodology
based on the comparison of several deep learning models for the
detection of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in
enterprise network environments. The CIC-DDoS2019 dataset,
recognized for the richness and realism of its attack scenarios,
served as a basis for the preparation, trai(...)

A two dimensional nonlinear space time mathematical analysis of fish and zooplankton dynamics considering the fishing effects in the ecosystem
Wendkouni Ouedraogo, Hamidou Ouedraogo, Ousmane Koutou, Boureima Sangare
We consider a reaction-diffusion model with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions to describe fish and zooplankton dynamics. We also introduce two important elements: fishing and cannibalism effect in the dynamics using a non linear functional responses. In the mathematical analysis, global attractor, persistence conditions and the stability(...)

Introduction:
Child malnutrition remains a major public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa and is reported to be associated with
half of child deaths in Burkina Faso. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) as a major
intervention to improve overall child nutritional status and survival for the first 6 month(...)

Senegalia macrostachya is a multipurpose native shrub in West Africa that faces challenges in natural regeneration due to pests and overharvesting. This study evaluates seed germination and early seedling growth according to provenance, maturity stage, and the number of seeds in the fruit. Fruits were collected from four sites in two climate z(...)
