Weak solutions of a discrete Robin problem involving the anisotropic $\vect{p}$-mean curvature operator
B. Moussa, I. Nyanquini, S. Ouaro
This work investigates the existence and uniqueness of a so- lution to a discrete Robin boundary value problem involving the anisotropic p⃗-mean curvature operator. The existence re- sult is established through variational methods, specifically by applying the Mountain Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz in combination with Ekeland’s Var(...)

Conservation des espaces boisés en milieu urbain : cas de la ville de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
Alexis KABORÉ Adama TRAORÉ
La conservation des espaces boisés est une notion
habituellement associée au milieu rural. Pourtant, les citadins
reconnaissent sa nécessité et nombre d’entre eux sont actifs en
faveur de la cause. L’objectif de l’étude est de rendre compte des
modes d’appréhension de ces forêts dans la ville chez les ouagalais

Gender Gaps in Food Security in Rural Burkina Faso: Does Access To Agricultural Credit matter?
Tobignaré Florent Maré
This paper examines the effect of access to agricultural credit on gender gaps in food security in rural Burkina Faso. We
used the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition, relying on nationwide data. The results show that, compared to male-headed
households, female-headed households are more food insecure. Specifically, female-headed households have(...)

On Skew Cyclic Reversible DNA Codes Over F4[v]/⟨v4 − v⟩
Joel KABORE, Mohammed Elhassani Charkani
In this paper, we study a specific class of skew cyclic codes over the ring F_4[v]/⟨v^4− v⟩ which is suitable for describing DNA codes over this ring. Using the Gray map between F_4[v]/⟨v^4− v⟩ and F_4^4(or equivalently DNA 4-bases), we describe reversible DNA codes and reversible-complement DNA codes over this ring.
