Background In South-Western Burkina Faso, where malaria remains highly endemic, the widespread resistance
of Anopheles mosquitoes to pyrethroid is reducing the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). This study
assessed 3-year trends in key entomological indicators following the deployment of standard pyrethroid-only

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF BURKINA PHOSPHATES FOR CHALCONE SYNTHESIS IN GREEN SOLVENT
Jean-Baptiste ZOUNGRANA, Brahima SORGHO, Corneille BAKOUAN, Régie Dimanche OUEDRAOGO, Maurice François GONON, Boubié GUEL and Philippe BLANCHART
The Claisen-Schmidt condensation is a key catalytic reaction used in chemical synthesis, developed during the 20th century. This condensation can be performed with or without toxic solvents in the presence of a catalyst. This study focused on using a green solvent - water - for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, enhanced by catalysts(...)

Adéquation formation emploi au Burkina Faso : quelle pourrait être la contribution de l’approche par les compétences dans les formations professionnalisantes à l’université ?
Lucien ZAONGO
Au Burkina Faso, un paradoxe existe entre l'augmentation des taux de scolarisation et le chômage élevé parmi les jeunes diplômés. En effet, ce chômage a atteint 13,4% en 2023 pour les titulaires de diplômes supérieurs. L’inadéquation entre les compétences acquises lors des formations et celles attendues par les employeurs contribue à ce phénom(...)

p(.)-Elliptic inclusion problem with natural growth term and Fourie type Boundary condition
I. Konaté, S. Ouaro
In this paper, we discuss the existence of renormalized and entropy solutions of nonlinear elliptic problems governed by the general p(.)-Leray-Lions type operator with a natural growth term subject to L1 data in the interior of the domain and Fourier type condition on the boundary. We first introduce a sequence of approximated prob- lems by r(...)

THERMAL PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS OF A HEMISPHERICAL SOLAR COOKER WITH ALUMINUM SHEET CONCENTRATORS: APPLICATION TO FOOD COOKING
Ladifata Mogmenga, Bouto Kossi Imbga, Thierry, Sikoudouin Maurice Ky, Salifou Ouedraogo, Sie Kam, Joseph Dieudonne Bathiebo.
Cooking is a method of transforming food by exposing it to heat. Solar cookers allow us to cook food using the heat generated from the sun's rays. In this work, we present an experimental study of a hemispherical solar cooker tested with and without glazing. In the context of sustainable development, in order to reduce environmental impact, th(...)

Studies examining norms and behaviors around female genital mutilation (FGM) are needed to accelerate progress towards the elimination of this harmful practice. This study uses nationally representative data from a pilot FGM module among women ages 15–49 from Burkina Faso collected in 2023/2024. Three main outcomes related to attitudes, norms(...)
