ments of reproductive autonomy through consuming pharmaceutical pro-
ducts. We explore misoprostol – a medication fo(...)

Study of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial Infections
Eli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba, Vincent Ouedraogo, Alimata Bancé, René Dofini Magnini, Safiétou Ouedraogo, Yasmine Aminata Bangré, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrebeogo
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory a(...)

ROSELLE POLYNOMIALS AND THEIR q-ANALOGUE
Mamy Laingo Nomenjanahary Rakotoarison, Joël Kabore, Fanja Rakotondrajao, Gérard Kientega, Dimbiniaina Ratovilebamboavison
In this paper, we establish relations defining the coefficients of Roselle polynomials and give their combinatorial interpretation. Introducing the non-ascending permutations, we determine the q-Roselle polynomials as well as their q-exponential generating.

Context: Cereal-legume intercropping offers potential for the sustainable intensification of annual cropping
systems. Crop models can support the evaluation of agronomic and environmental benefits of intercropping.
However, to be effective, they must capture interspecific interactions during the growing season, a challenging
task in tropica(...)
