Production, characterization and application of activated carbons derived from local biomass for the removal of emerging water contaminants: linking the circular economy to the blue economy
Romarique Ouédraogo, Yacouba Sanou, Moussa Fofana , Samuel Paré
In Burkina Faso, the increasing presence of emerging contaminants such as cyanide and dyes from water resources is a major environmental concern related to sanitary diseases. To mitigate this problem, water treatment based on adsorption with local materials offers promising and sustainable alternatives instead to conventional treatment. This w(...)

Community norms, individual attitudes and longitudinal changes in contraceptive agency among young women in Burkina Faso
Fiacre Bazié, Clémentine Rossier, Yentéma Onadja and Abdramane B. Soura
Most research exploring the factors influencing women’s decision-making power has focused on individual characteristics, particularly education, employment, or, more broadly, women’s socioeconomic status. However, some contradictory findings suggest that individual characteristics alone are insufficient to fully explain disparities in women’s(...)

Quantifying the impact of time-delayed reporting and supportive care in measles outbreak: A simulation approach for Texas, USA
Chidozie Williams Chukwu, Ousmane Koutou, Moussa Ouedraogo, Dawit Denu
This study examines how time delays in vaccination response, case reporting, and access to supportive care influence measles transmission during the recent outbreak in Texas, USA. We develop a delay-based compartmental model that captures both biological and operational features of measles control and calibrate it using Texas reported Measles(...)
