Solar cookers are devices that allow cooking by using free solar energy. However, they can’t operate during cloudy periods or at night. A hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) is an alternative that uses an endogenous and renewable energy source for ecological and economical cooking. In this work, the performances of a hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) ar(...)

Compatibility Study between Ceramic Balls and Jatropha Curcas Oil Properties under Long Time Heat Treatment: Potentiality for Thermal Energy Storage
Boubou Bagré, Makinta Boukar, Ibrahim Kolawole Muritala, Tizane Daho, Ali Diané, Bernard Nana, Armand B. Korsaga, Oluwarotimi D. Thierry Odou, Aboubakar Gomna, & Antoine Béré
Valorisation of local and low-cost eco-materials have become an imperative for the sustainable development of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) in West Africa. In this study, the compatibility tests were carried out. These involve the application of jatropha curcas oil (JCCO) and ceramic balls, which were developed from clay coal bottom ash and(...)

First investigation of blood parasites of bats in Burkina Faso detects Hepatocystis parasites and infections with diverse Trypanosoma spp.
Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Magloire Boungou, Bertrand Adéchègoun Mèschac Chabi, Adama Oueda, Oskar Werb & Juliane Schaer
Bats are hosts to a large diversity of eukaryotic protozoan blood parasites that comprise species of Trypanosoma and different haemosporidian parasite taxa and bats have played an important role in the evolutionary history of both parasite groups. However, bats in several geographical areas have not been investigated, including in Burkina Faso(...)

Enhancing Strategy CIGS Solar Cell Performance Through a New ZnSe Buffer Layer
Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Adama Zongo, Issiaka Sankara, Francois Zougmoré
In this paper, we use the SCAPS-1D software for the numerical simulation of the Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell with a ZnSe-based buffer layer. The study focuses on the influence of the ZnSe buffer layer on the performance of the CIGS solar cell. In this study, the analysis of the effect of the ZnSe buffer layer thickness revealed that optimum(...)

A Case of Cerebral Aspergillosis in a Patient with Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia
Aimé Sosthène Ouédraogo1,2, Franck Auguste Hermann Adémayali Ido2,3, Ibrahim Savadogo4, Souleymane Ouattara3, Rakiswendé Alexis Ouédraogo2,5, Assita Lamien Sanou2,6, Olga Mélanie Lompo2,6
Cerebral aspergillosis commonly affects immunocompromised hosts, primarily patients on immunosuppressive therapy and those with acquired or immunodeficient states such as AIDS. We report a case of cerebral aspergillosis in a 39-year-old woman with a history of treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Multiple fragments of fixed tissues with(...)

Background The clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can vary widely, ranging from
asymptomatic to severe, and may be influenced by the host genetic background. The aim of the present study was
to determine the frequencies of HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB1*12 allele polymorphisms and their associations with
COVID-19.

Introduction: Occupational stress is the second occupational disease after
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Its assessment tools are well known in the
northern countries. In the countries of the South, however, rare are the studies
devoted to the development of a valid instrument for its estimation while
the factors highlighting its exist(...)
