Interaction of predatory macroinvertebrate communities with malaria vectors in aquatic habitats of three climatic zones in Burkina Faso
Judicael Ouedraogo, Simon P. Sawadogo, Abdoulaye Niang, Abdoulaye Soulama, Sylvie Yerbanga, Tarwendpanga F. X. Ouédraogo, Bouraïma Vincent Séré, Charles Guissou, Roch K. Dabiré, Ruth Müller, Olivier Gnankine and Abdoulaye Diabaté
Background In aquatic larval habitats, Anopheles larvae are subject to the predatory activity and competition
of macroinvertebrates. These macroinvertebrates may play a key role in the Anopheles population’s bioregulation
in aquatic habitats and malaria control. There are few studies characterizing macroinvertebrate predators and other
macr(...)

Resistivity of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell to the electromagnetic field effects
Adama OUEDRAOGO, Rodrigue Noaga SAWADOGO, Boureima DIANDA, Mahamadi SAVADOGO, Boubacar SORO, Thierry Sikoudouin MauriceKY, Dieudonné Joseph BATHIEBO, Sié KAM
This present paper studies a crystalline silicon PV cell's resistance to electromagnetic field (EMF) effects. This study identifies an optimal doping range for silicon PV cells, enhancing their resistance to EMF damage. After solving key equations, we analyzed the cell's electrical parameters and energy processes. The current slightly drops as(...)

Evaluating Convergence Rates in Particle Swarm Optimization: Insights from Gradient-Perturbation and Dual-Binary Approaches
Ywo Josue BAZIE, A Drabo, Abel ZONGO, Clovis NITIEMA
This paper investigates the convergence properties of two Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms:
the Gradient-Perturbation PSO and the Dual-Binary PSO. We introduce a novel evaluation criterion that
quantifies the rate of convergence using a stochastic dynamic averaging approach, enabling a more precise
analysis of the algorithms’ pe(...)

Infant-level and child-level predictors of mortality in low- resource settings: the WHO Child Mortality Risk Stratification Multi-Country Pooled Cohort
1- Tahmeed Ahmed, Waseem Ali, Alemayehu Argaw, Rajiv Bahl, Jeanette Bailey, Abdullah Baqui, Elodie Becquey, James A Berkley, Kenneth Brown, Mohammed Jobayer Chisti, Ranadip Chowdhury, Hama A Diallo et al.; WHO Risk Stratification Working Group (WHO-RSWG
Background Despite impressive reductions in overall global child mortality, the rate of decline has slowed during the past decade. Current guidelines for the care of paediatric patients in low-resource settings mostly focus on broad clinical syndromes or undernutrition rather than children’s individual contextualised risk. We aimed to identify(...)

Ethanol is a psychoactive substance. Its abuse has health, regulatory and medico-legal consequences. Consequently, the
determination of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) necessitates a highly sensitive and robust analytical procedure. To address
this necessity, the National Agency for Health, Environmental, Food, Labor, and Health Product Sa(...)

Introduction. L'inactivité physique contribue à 8% des décès mondiaux (OMS), avec des disparités régionales sous-étudiées en Afrique subsaharienne. Au Burkina Faso, où les maladies non transmissibles progressent, les médecins – pourtant prescripteurs clés – présentent paradoxalement des taux élevés de sédentarité et prescrivent rarement l'exer(...)

Analysis of Collective Trauma of Women in Donal Ryan’s The Queen of Dirt Island
André Kaboré et Wend-woumyâ Jason Ouédraogo
La présente étude est une analyse critique de The Queen of Dirt Island de Donal Ryan sous la perspective du traumatisme collectif, l’expérience du traumatisme, ses effets destructifs et les stratégies de résilience. Elle s’appuie sur une approche mixte qui combine deux théories de critique littéraire, à savoir les théories du traumatisme de Ca(...)

HIV prevention and undiagnosed infections in children in sub-Saharan Africa
Souleymane Tassembedo, Nicolas Meda, Chipepo Kankasa, Roger Shapiro, Theodore Ruel, Ameena Goga, Mwiya Mwiya, Isidore Tiandiogo Traore, Thorkild Tylleskär, Anais Mennecier, Jean Pierre Moles, Philippe Van de Perre, Nicolas Nagot
Despite the efforts to prevent vertical transmission of HIV, about 130 000 children worldwide acquire HIV each year, and 40% of those remain undiagnosed. Many factors contribute to this poor outcome including, but not limited to, failure to identify mothers seroconverting during pregnancy or postpartum, suboptimal early infant diagnosis, misin(...)

Drop-in efficient self-attention approximation method
Damien François, Mathis Saillot, Jacques Klein, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Alexander Skupin
Transformers have achieved state-of-the-art performance in most common tasks to which they have been applied. Those achievements are attributed to the Self-Attention mechanism at their core. Self-Attention is understood to map the relationship between tokens of any given sequence. This exhaustive mapping incurs massive costs in memory and infe(...)

Hamadé Tidjani Guindé, Prospère Sabo, Bassiaka Ouattara, Ounyambila Lompo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Vitex doniana Sweet is a socio-economically important agroforestry species in Africa. However, the species is threatened by overexploitation, the degradation of its natural habitats, and the climate pejoration. Understanding the socio-cultural factors that influence local perceptions of species status and influence decisions about its conserva(...)
