Assessing the variability in experimental hut trials evaluating insecticide-treated nets against malaria vectors
Challenger, J. D., Nash, R. K., Ngufor, C., Sanou, A., Toe, K. H., Moore, S., Tungu, P. K., Rowland, M., Foster, G. M., N'guessan, R., Sherrard-Smith, E. & Churcher, T. S.
Experimental hut trials (EHTs) are used to evaluate indoor vector control interventions against malaria vectors in
a controlled setting. The level of variability present in the assay will influence whether a given study is well
powered to answer the research question being considered. We utilised disaggregated data from 15 previous EHTs

Passive Remote Sensing Studies of a Phantom Insect
Moussa Sougoti; Sié Zacharie Kam; Sidiki Zongo; Antoine Bere
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) methods, in passive or in active remote sensing, can do detection and identification of small targets; in entomology, these methods allow the characterization and the classification of insects. However, it is a challenge to study the physical phenomena, which determine the shape and properties of insec(...)

Background Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection affect all social strata of humanity and in the absence of any management, this infection has a different outcome from one infected person to another. This suggests that there are specific individual factors that influence the outcome of the pathology. Sex, immunogenetics and age of contraction of t(...)

Factors Associated with Non-Adherence to Treatment in Sickle Cell Patients Monitored at the National Reference Center for Sickle Cell Disease in Niger
Mamadou Moussa, Alkassoum Ibrahim Salifou, Meda Nicolas, Yanogo Pauline, Kaboré Jean
Sickle cell disease is a real public health problem in the world
and particularly in Niger where the prevalence of the S gene is estimated at
25% and that of the homozygous forms at between 1% and 2%. Treatment
combines quarterly follow-up of patients and management of complications.
The objective of this study was to identify the potentia(...)

Menstrual regulation: examining the incidence, methods, and sources of care of this understudied health practice in three settings using cross‑sectional population‑based surveys
Bell O. S., Shankar M., OlaOlorun F., Omoluabi E., Khanna A., Ahmad D., Guiella G. and Moreau C
Background
Menstrual regulation is a practice that may exist within the ambiguity surrounding one’s pregnancy status and has been the subject of limited research. The aim of this study is to measure the annual rate of menstrual regulation in Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, and Rajasthan, India, overall and by background characteristics and to describ(...)

Evaluation of the effectiveness of some local plant extracts in improving the quality of unsafe water consumed in developing countries
Frédéric Anderson Konkobo, Paul Windinpsidi Savadogo, Mamounata Diao, Roger Dakuyo and Mamoudou Hama Dicko
This study highlights the possibility of using plant extracts as biocoagulants to replace aluminum sulfate in the process of raw water potabilization. For this purpose, nine plants were identified by an investigation and their effectiveness was evaluated in the laboratory by coagulation/flocculation on surface waters. Out of the nine plants id(...)

Education puzzle, financial inclusion, and energy substitution: Growth Scales
Abdoulganiour Almame Tinta
Human capital is at the heart of new theories of growth through the intrinsic role of education. Economic growth, also called income effect or scale effect, is a crucial mechanism for education’s influence on energy. In line with Romer, maintaining increasing returns to scale is the result of a dynamic of growth on energy. Thus, in view of the(...)

Do land property rights matter for stimulating agricultural productivity? Empirical evidence from Burkina Faso.
SEOGO Windinkonté and ZAHONOGO Pam
Rural households in Burkina Faso face serious problems of food security due to very low agricultural productivity. Our study investigates how the existing land property rights affect agricultural productivity in the country.
Unlike previous studies, we use nationally representative data and take into account the indirect link between
