Problématisation de l'extrémisme violent dans La malice des hommes de Jean Pierre Guingané
Pingdewindé Issiaka TIENDREBEOGO
L’Afrique, et en particulier le Burkina Faso, est confrontée ces dernières années aux
problématiques liées au terrorisme et à l’extrémisme violent. Fort de cela, la problématique de
la violence devient un leitmotiv thématique dans les imaginaires dramaturgiques des auteurs
africains, au nombre desquels Jean-Pierre GUINGANÉ. Depuis 2015,(...)

Background:
In Burkina Faso, the Minimal Digital Ecosystem (MDE)—a suite of nine integrated digital tools—was introduced to support key health system functions, including care delivery, financial management, medication oversight, governance, and data use. However, evidence regarding the maturity of its real-world implementation and the dete(...)

Effect of Seedlings Conservation Methods on Physiological Recovery and Tuber Yield of Solenostemon rotundifolius [(Poir.) J.K. Morton]
Rodrigue Arnaud Zongo, Aboubacar Sory and Rasmata Nana
Despite its many advantages, Solenostemon rotundifolius remains underutilized. Inadequate seedling conservation impairs their quality and reduces germination and yield. This study evaluates the effect of conservation methods on physiological recovery and tuber yield. A trial was conducted during the 2023/2024 rainy season using a split-plot de(...)

Optimization of Antigen Concentrations to Improve the Signal to Noise Ratio of ELISA Tests for the Detection of Anti Plasmodium falciparum Antibodies
Nicolas OUEDRAOGO, Fatimata THIOMBIANO, Oumarou OUEDRAOGO, Mireille OUEDRAOGO, Guillaume Sylvestre SANOU, Harouna SORE, Casimire Wendlamita TARAMA, François TAPSOBA, Yéri Esther HIEN, Kaba Mariama CHERIF and Aly SAVADOGO
Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, remains a major public health priority in tropical regions. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detecting anti-Plasmodium antibodies is an essential diagnostic tool. However, its sensitivity and specificity are closely dependent on the concentration of antigens used.

Neural Machine Translation for French–Mooré: Adapting Large Language Models to Low-Resource Languages
Walker Stanislas Rocksane COMPAORE, Maimouna Ouattara, Rodrique Kafando, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Aminata Sabané
This work focuses on neural machine translation between French and Mooré, leveraging the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in a low-resource language context. Mooré is a local language widely spoken in Burkina Faso but remains underrepresented in digital resources. Alongside Mooré, French, now a working language, remains widely used(...)

Monitoring of Drought Adaptive Mechanisms of Some Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Genotypes Grown Under Water Deficit Conditions in Burkina Faso
Yannick Bassolé · Teyioué Benoit Joseph Batieno · Hugues Roméo Bazié · Ossame Bagagnan · Abraham Sotongo Ouedraogo· Boblwendé Gildas Flavien Sawadogo · Kiswendsida Issaka Sam · Saadon Leandre Poda
Cowpea is an essential crop in Burkina Faso’s agriculture, but its production must cope with the consequences of climate change, particularly drought, which significantly reduces yields. The mechanisms of adaptation to drought vary between species and varieties and need to be understood to develop more drought-tolerant varieties. Seven cowpea(...)

Electron minibands, density of states, and absorption fingerprints in tensile-strained Si/relaxed Si1-xGex quantum-dot superlattices
Diero Lassina , Djielbeogo Soumaïla , Diasso Alain , Kam Ollé Michel , Sam Raguilignaba , Zougmoré François
Intermediate-band solar cells require an intermediate electronic manifold that is both confined and sufficiently dispersive to enable sub-bandgap transitions. Here we study a three-dimensional quantum-dot superlattice based on tensile-strained dots embedded in a relaxed matrix, selected to provide electron confinement through the conduction(...)

Contributing to Speech-to-Speech Translation for African Low-Resource Languages : Study of French-Mooré Pair
Fayçal S. A. Ouedraogo, Maimouna Ouattara, Rodrique Kafando, Abdoul Kader Kaboré, Aminata Sabané, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Most of African low-resource languages are primarily spoken rather than written and lack large, standardized textual resources. In many communities, low literacy rates and limited access to formal education mean that text-based translation technologies alone are insufficient for effective communication. As a result, speech-to-speech translatio(...)

A pill to control the uterus: misoprostol and reproductive politics in Burkina Faso and Senegal
Siri Suh, Tidiane Ndoye and Nathalie Sawadogo
African women’s uteri have long been objects of biomedical and technolo-
gical control, from the promotion and discouragement of births by colonial
authorities and development experts, to the neoliberal and feminist achieve-
ments of reproductive autonomy through consuming pharmaceutical pro-
ducts. We explore misoprostol – a medication fo(...)
