Formalizing PI Planning in Scaled Agile with Model-Driven Engineering: A Metamodel and Framework for Strategic Alignment
Flavien Somda ; Désiré Guel ; Kisito Kabore
Program Increment (PI) Planning is a critical synchronization event in scaled Agile methodologies, yet remains largely informal, with limited analytical rigor or strategic alignment. This paper introduces a formal metamodel and a model-driven framework to support structured PI Planning in large-scale software development. Our metamodel capture(...)

Quorum sensing (QS) is a system of intercellular communication and regulation of the
transcription of resistance, virulence, and pathogenicity genes. The aim of this study was to
identify genetic markers controlling quorum sensing in multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and E.
coli. A set of fifty (50) strains, composed of P. aeruginosa (30(...)

The enduring burden of short birth intervals on child survival: A 28-year trend analysis in Burkina Faso
Hervé Bassinga
Child survival has improved considerably over the past decades in sub-Saharan Africa, yet preventable risk factors such as closely spaced births continue to threaten progress, especially in fragile contexts. This study examines the association between interbirth intervals and under-five survival in Burkina Faso using data from five rounds of D(...)

Ethnopharmacological approaches in mood and anxiety disorders. The relevance of the oxidative stress status 1
Simplice Harquin Foyet, Ioana-Miruna Balmus, Ngatanko Abaïssou Hervé Hervé, Asongalem Acha Emmanuel, Samson Guenné, Martin Kiendrebéogo, Alin Ciobica
Neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders are one of the most important pathologies that lead to increased morbidity in populations. Both mood and anxiety disorders include mental disorders not caused by detectable organic abnormalities of the brain. At the molecular level, affective spectrum symptomatology is due to neurotransmitte(...)

APPLICATION OF THE GALERKIN-SBA METHOD TO NONLINEAR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH DIRICHLET BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Sawadogo Salomond, Bamogo Hamadou, Bayalla Bazoboué Laurent et Francis Bassono
In this article, we propose a numerical framework referred to as the Galerkin-SBA method, obtained by coupling the Galerkin projection technique with the SBA iterative approach. The method reduces a nonlinear partial differential equation to a finite-dimensional system governing the time-dependent coefficients in a Galerkin expansion of the so(...)

Spatial Distribution and Bioclimatic Factors of Sudano-Sahelian Agroforestry Tree Species: The Case of African Locust Bean (Parkia Biglobosa) and Shea (Vitellaria Paradoxa) in the Province of Boulkiemdé, Burkina Faso
Boureima Yo, Joseph Yaméogo, Pawendkisgou Isidore Yanogo
African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) and shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) are emblematic species of West African agroforestry parklands. They play a major role in food security, rural livelihoods and the structuring of agricultural landscapes. However, their spatial distribution is insufficiently documented at the local level, particularly in a co(...)

Resistance Evaluation of Pearl Millet- Male-Sterility Maintainer Populations against Downy Mildew Disease in Burkina Faso
Mady Sawadogo; Inoussa Drabo; Armel Rouamba; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is an important cereal crop in semi-arid regions, but its production is constrained by downy mildew caused by Sclerospora graminicola. The development of resistant male-sterility maintainer lines is important for improving the resistance of pearl millet hybrids. This study aimed to develop and scr(...)

Aims: In Burkina Faso, the processing of dried food products contributes to the valorisation of local
resources, the reduction of post-harvest losses and the improvement of food security. Despite the increasing
importance of these products in dietary habits, data on their physicochemical and microbiological quality
remain limited. This stud(...)

MITRE-CAPE-2026: A Novel Dataset for Cyber Attackers Profiling Enhancement
Saoudata Bougma, Didier Bassolé, Sidwendluian Romaric Nana, P. Justin Kouraogo
Experimental cybersecurity research has traditionally relied on using datasets to train intrusion detection systems (IDS). However, current solutions suffer from outdated reference data and an event-centric approach limited to binary traffic classification or attack type identification. This article argues that threat anticipation requires a p(...)
