WINNING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WAR AGAINST OPPRESSION: THE CASE OF NAT TURNER AND SAMORY TOURE
MASSIMBO Wôkoudo Marcel, YAMEOGO Irissa, MALGOUBRI Harrouna
This article posits Nat Turner’s rebellion against slavocracy and Samory Toure’s resistance to French colonialism as cases of successful military strategies utilized by a subaltern group against a supposedly stronger enemy. It actually recognizes the two Black leaders as brilliant war strategists, who knew they were disadvantaged at many level(...)

Analysis of the deterministic and stochastic epidemic models of filariasis
KONANE Fourtoua Victorien; SAWADOGO Ragnimwendé
This article proposes two epidemic models : deterministic and stochastic models of Lymphatic filariasis. For the deterministic model, the basic reproduction number is calculated, the disease- free equilibrium of the model is determined and the stability analysed. If the basic reproduction number is less than one, by using the theorem of Varga(...)

THERMAL COMFORT IN A BUILDING CONSTRUCTED OF FOAM CONCRETE MADE IN BURKINA FASO
Adélaïde Lareba Ouédraogo, Germain Wend-Pouiré Ouédraogo, Kossi Bouto Imbga, Boureima Kaboré, Gilbert Nana, Karim Toussakoe, Bruno Korgo, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo, Florent Pèlèga Kiéno, Philippe Blanchart.
Thermal comfort is a feeling of well-being in a given environment. In the context of sustainable development, new regulations on thermal insulation in the building sector are leading researchers to design new materials for
energy-saving systems and ensuring comfort in the habitat. We highlight the effects induced by the use of Pr. Blanchard's(...)

MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF HEPATITIS B TRANSMISSION MODEL.
OUEDRAOGO Boukary, ZOROM Malicki, GOUBA Elisée
In this article, we present the transmission dynamics of the acute and chronic hepatitis B epidemic problem. To control the spread of hepatitis in a community, we first develop a mathematical model for the transmission of the virus of hepatitis B. After framing the mathematical model, we show the existence and uniqueness of the
solution, the(...)

Promoting private forests for biodiversity conservation and ecosystems restoration in the Sahel region
Karafa Bognini, Loyapin Bondé, Sié Sylvestre Da, Abisha Mapendembe, Roch Yao Gnabeli
Private forests have the potential to mitigate biodiversity loss and improve community livelihoods. However, information on the socio-ecological factors that drive their establishment and long-term management are limited. This study aimed to narrow this gap by assessing the potential of privately-owned forests in conserving biodiversity and su(...)
