APPLYING FISHER’S AND STUDENT’S LAWS IN PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION CALCULATION METHODS
LOYARA Vini Yves Bernadin, OUOBA Fabrice et BAGRE Rémi Guillaume
The purpose of this paper is to discover a method for creating joint distributions that establishes a solid foundation for a new distribution model. The technique used to design a joint distribution is through the use of the mathematical expectation of an application with two variables. We obtain new joint probability density functions using t(...)

Les racines médiévales de l'analytique : la logique, le langage et la science théologique
Damien DAMIBA
Le besoin de l’exactitude en science, tout comme dans d’autres domaines de connaissance aspirant à la crédibilité, a été, selon ses initiateurs, le leitmotiv de la mise en œuvre du courant analytique en philosophie. Cette ‘‘nouvelle’’ orientation tend à s’opposer à tout ce qui s’est fait précédemment (la philosophie dite continentale) avec de(...)

Beekeeping in Burkina Faso: A Survey on Local Knowledge and Practices in a Context of Global Decline in Honeybees
Sawadogo Souhaïbou, Bazié Hugues Roméo, Bationo Modeste Florentin, Zella Sinali, Ilboudo Zakaria
Like beekeeping worldwide, the sector in Burkina Faso is an income-generating activity. However, it faces many challenges: unsuitable practices, environmental
degradation, declining bee populations, etc. Our aim is to contribute to the sustainable improvement of beekeeping by promoting local knowledge and expertise in this activity. To achiev(...)

Insights into Novel Viral Threats in Sweetpotato from Burkina Faso: Characterisation of Unexplored Pathogens
Name, Pakyendou E., Ezechiel B. Tibiri, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Seydou Sawadogo, Florencia Djigma, Lassina Traoré, Angela O. Eni, and Justin S. Pita.
Sweetpotato is a key staple crop in tropical and subtropical regions. Its vegetative propagation makes it a persistent reservoir, facilitating the emergence and spread of complex infections. Understanding its virome is crucial for disease management and food security. We investigated the sweetpotato virome in Burkina Faso using rolling circle(...)

W. Nadembega, Florencia W. Djigma, Jacques Simpore
Background Aims: The leading mammary cancer in Burkina Faso, breast cancer has a variety of origins. In fact, an alteration
in the MAP3K14 [GenBank: NC_000017.11, ID: 9020] and CD40 [GenBank: NC_000020.11, ID: 958] genes can lead to the
development of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to highlight the possible involvement of the polym(...)

Nonlinear Effects of Trade Integration on Foreign Direct Investment in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Kolo Nebie, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Relwendé Sawadogo
This research analyses the effects of trade integration on foreign direct investment (FDI) in a dynamic panel of 30 sub‐Saharan African countries over the period 2002–2022. It uses the Pull and Push factors model, which is estimated by the two‐step system generalized method of moments. The results show that trade integration fosters FDI. Howev(...)

Influence of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh on the growth, productivity and physiology of three associated crops in the Sudano‑Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Boukary Soro, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Sotongo Abraham Ouédraogo, Boblwendé Gildas Flavien Sawadogo, Jules Bayala
employing a tree effect gradient called a gradient based design with 4–7 replications for cowpea, millet, and sorghum. The experimental design included three plot locations based on their proximity to the eucalyptus trunk: one directly under the crown, another centred at 11 m, and a control plot situated 22 m away. Various parameters, such as(...)

Effect of Azadirachta Indica A. Juss (Neem) on the Growth, Physiology and Yields of Associated Crops in Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Boukary Soro, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Boblwendé Gildas Flavien Sawadogo, Sotongo Abraham Ouédraogo, and Gérard Zombré
Neem is an exotic species used for reforestation, but its competitive effects on surrounding crops have not been thoroughly explored in Burkina Faso. This research aimed to assess the effect of neem on cowpea, millet, and sorghum within agroecosystems in Burkina Faso. The experimental design involved systematically allocating treatments based(...)

Anthropological consideration on prevalence and fitness of β C and β S genotypes in Burkina Faso (a survey in the public schools)
Simpore J., Pignatelli S., Melis P. & Musumeci S.
We have studied To study the incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) we have examined in 15,367 students, aged 11.4+/−4.64 years (median 11; range 1–26), living in Burkina Faso (12,019 were students of 23 public schools of Ouagadougou and 3348 students of 7 public schools situated in six villages about 12–35 Km from Ouagadougou).

Determination of the Moisture and Mineral Contents in Selected Infant Flour Sold at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Mètuor-Dabiré Amana, Konate Kiessoun, Adama Djeneba, Simpore Jacques;
Child malnutrition is one of the major causes of public health and social welfare problems in developing countries. It is manifested by micronutrient deficiency. Indeed, nutritional deficits are particularly severe in children from 6 to 24 months, when their nutritional needs exceed what they can get from breast milk. To help improve the nutri(...)

Indoor Air Pollution from Solid Fuel Use: Sources and Assessment Methods – A Literature Review
Lucmane Koala, Kayaba Haro, Gounkaou Woro Yomi, Bernard Nana, Ousmane Coulibaly, Issoufou Ouarma, Tizane Daho, Oumar Sanogo, and Antoine Béré
This paper examines the causes of deteriorating indoor air quality and the various methods of studying air pollutant emissions associated with the use of solid fuel stoves. Indoor air quality has long received less attention than outdoor air quality, despite the fact that most people spend more time indoors in buildings with higher pollution l(...)

Effect of irrigation patterns on agrophysiological responses of rice varieties in Burkina Faso
Salifou Kaboré , Dominique Nikiéma , Hugues R. Bazié, Adama P. Kihindo, Yapi I. Sinaré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo and Gérard Zombré
Rice is a staple food worldwide and ranks fourth in dietary importance in Burkina Faso. However, national production remains insufficient to meet rising demand due
to inadequate rainfall, a critical constraint for this water-intensive crop. Water-efficient irrigation systems offer a promising solution to address water scarcity and improve

Background: Cervix cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in many developing countries, and most commonly the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Most often, this infection does not lead to injury or cancer - there is viral clearance. We therefore proposed to study the polymorphism of certain genes such as KIR, which(...)

Applications of stable cellular automata on Sturmian words
Moussa Barro, K. Ernest Bognini and Boucaré Kientéga
In this paper, we generalize the study of some class of cellular automata (CA) preserving stability, called stable cellular automata (SCA) on Sturmian words. After establishing the classic complexity of obtained words by these SCA, their special factors are also specified. Next, we prove that their palindromic complexity is 1 or 2. Finally, we(...)

La classification nominale en cʋ́ràmã̀
TIROGO Issoufou François et BEOGO Madou
This study focused on nominal classification in cʋ́ràmã̀, a Gur language spoken in Burkina Faso in the Cascades region. In the field of nominal morphology, this work falls within the functionalist framework and is particularly inspired by Nicole's (1999) model of analysis. The results of the analysis show that class affixes do exist in this la(...)
