Impact of land use and biophysical factors on natural populations of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hassane Ouédraogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé , Amadé Ouédraogo
Senegalia macrostachya is a valuable shrub increasingly threatened in West Africa. The study aims to assess the impact of land use and biophysical factors on its population structure and diversity across Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian climate zones in Burkina Faso. A total of 201 plots were sampled in three land use categories: farmlands, fallow(...)

Numerical Assessment of Hydrodynamic Trends on Dam Stability, and Groundwater Prediction in the Bagré Dam, Burkina Faso: Implications for Climate Change
Triumph Prosper Orowale1 Seyni Salack2 Youssouf Koussoube1 Moussa Guira3 Issoufou Yangouliba2 Rajesh Gudihalli Munivenkatappa
In the context of climate change and the subsequent pressure from geological structures, there is a pressing need to analyse hydroclimatic trend events on dam stability and establish a clear correlation between reservoir surface water and groundwater levels in the Bagré Dam. Hydrodynamic variables (evaporation, inflow, irrigation, spillage, wa(...)

Introduction
Malaria and malnutrition are major causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. Most
of children receiving Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) are also generally
malnourished during SMC delivery period. This study aimed at assessing the risk of
malaria infection in malnourished children, compared to children with an adequat(...)

Exploitation minière industrielle à Perkoa au Burkina Faso : Perturbations écologiques et mécanismes d’adaptation des ménages
Cleofa Pascal BASSONO et Alexis Clotaire BASSOLE
"Le processus d’implantation de la mine de zinc dans la localité de Perkoa a engendré des perturbations sur les ressources en eau et les ressources forestières, ainsi que des pollutions dues à l’usage de produits chimiques et au fort trafic routier. Cet article analyse la dynamique d’adaptation des ménages face à ces pertu(...)

Optimization of a Building's Indoor Temperature and Sensitive Air Conditioning Loads Using the BLT Parpaing Hollow Double Wall
Daouda Sawadogo , Benjamin Kiéma and Ousmane Coulibaly
In hot, dry tropical climates (sahelian), such as Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), high demand for air conditioning in buildings poses a major energy challenge. This study aims to optimize the indoor temperature and sensible air conditioning loads of a typical three-bedroom F3 building with cavity walls, using a double-wall system combining lightwe(...)

Purpose: Carica papaya is used alone or with other herbs in traditional medicine to treat infectious diseases; nonetheless,
comprehensive scientific validation of this claim is limited. We conducted this preliminary study to explore its immunomodulatory
potential through cytokine modulation.
Methods: An aqueous ethanolic crude extract of pl(...)

Genetic diversity and relationships among sweet grain sorghum genotypes across agroclimatic zones revealed by SNP markers
Wendmanegda Hermann TONDÉ, Salif BERTHÉ, Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUÉDRAOGO, Tégawendé Odette BONKOUNGOU, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Sweet grain sorghum is exploited in Burkina Faso through the consumption of fresh grains early at the doughy stage. To identify, valorise and conserve the genetic diversity of this agricultural resource, SNPs markers are essential tools. The aim of the present study is to assess the genetic diversity of sweet grain sorghum expressed in a linea(...)

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with transmission
influenced by the incidence of contagious people with TB, the duration of infectivity, and the
probability of contact with susceptible individuals. This review synthesizes recent evidence
on established and emerging risk factors influencing TB transmiss(...)

Ironische (Selbst-)Betrachtungsweisen: Frankreich, Deutschland und die Menschen von Soba in Ahmadou Kourouma’s Monnè, outrages et défis
Fidèle Yameogo
Les œuvres d’Ahmadou Kourouma (Les soleils des indépendances, Monnè, outrages et défis, En attendant le vote des bêtes sauvages, Allah n’est pas obligé) explorent sous forme littéraire, comme on le sait, la colonisation et les questions postcoloniales. Alors que les relations entre les populations locales et l’ancienne puissance coloniale fran(...)

Impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and biomass production of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) in Burkina Faso
Sidnoma Marie Emeline Vanessa Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Philippe Bayen, Caroline Bassono
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) is one of the most leafy vegetables widely consumed in Burkina Faso. However, inappropriate input and unsuitable doses constitute a constraint to the optimal productivity of amaranth. This study aims to evaluate the effect of four organic fertilizers and two mineral fertilizers on the agromorphological perform(...)

Food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges in Niger, where proteinrich crops are critically needed. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is recognized as a strategic legume due to its high protein content (typically 35–45%) and valuable techno-functional properties reported in the literature. However, local accessions and improved s(...)

Special Feature: Translating Agriculture: Anglophone Scholarship on West Africa in French / Dossier : Traduire l’agriculture : recherches anglophones en français sur l’Afrique de l’Ouest.
William G. Moseley, Gabin Korbeogo, Jessie K. Luna
One of the goals of the Mande Studies journal is to operate as a key crossroads or
intersection for Anglophone and Francophone scholarship on West Africa, two
worlds that sometimes co-exist as ships passing in the night. Building on this
goal, this special feature offers French versions of work originally published in
English that reflect(...)

Diffusive convective elliptic problem in variable exponent space and measure data
Safimba Soma , Ibrahime Konaté and Adama Kaboré
In this article, we study a class of convective diffusive elliptic problem with Dirichlet
boundary condition and measure data in variable exponent spaces. We begin by introducing an
approximate problem via a truncation approach and Yosida’s regularization. Then, we apply the
technique of maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces to obtain(...)

Biotic and abiotic drivers of biomass carbon storage in peri urban forests in Burkina Faso
Larba Hubert Balima, Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Henry Kiemtoré, Lassané Nakoulma, Mohamed Cissé, Issouf Zerbo, Adjima Thiombiano
Urban and peri-urban forests are vital nature-based climate solutions in urban centers undergoing
rapid urbanization and rising temperatures. While their ecological role in carbon sequestration is
documented in West Africa, how environmental factors affect aboveground carbon (AGC) storage in
peri-urban forests remains poorly understood.(...)
