Comparative study of the effects of Herbal and chemical Coagulants in the clarification of raw water
58. Anderson F. Konkobo, Mamounata Diao, Paul W. Savadogo, Jean Diarra and Mamoudou H. Dicko
The use of aluminum sulphate in clarifying raw waters raises many concerns about its impact on
human health. Thus, the present study was initiated to compare the effects of Moringa oleifera and
aluminum sulphate besides evaluating the association between M. oleifera or aluminum sulphate with
Opuntia ficus-indica or syntofloc for water treat(...)

Numerical Study of the Thermal Performance of Three Roof Models in Hot and Dry Climates
Windé Nongué Daniel Koumbem1*, Issaka Ouédraogo2, Wend Dolean Arsène Ilboudo2, Pèlèga Florent Kieno1
The thermal performance of three roofing models: tile, corrugated and earth terrace is numerically analyzed. The mathematical equations which govern the three roofing models are established by the electrical method of analogies. These equations are discretized by an implicit finite difference method and solved by the Gauss-Seidel algorithm. We(...)

De la condition féminine dans M'ba Sida de l'artiste musicienne Wendy
KABORE Barthélemy
La chanson est un texte oral qui se prête mieux à l’expression des sentiments et des ressentiments du sujet. C’est un exutoire pour la femme moaaga, victime de stéréotypes sociaux de s’épancher et de revendiquer un mieux-être. L’artiste Wendy s’en sert à juste titre pour combattre l’infidélité de l’homme d’une part et pour attirer l’attention(...)

Hydrogeochemical and spatial assessment of groundwater quality from basement aquifers in the Central Plateau Region of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Aboubakar Sako, Sayoba Kafando.,
People in the semi-arid region of central Burkina Faso rely heavily on groundwater resources from basement rock aquifers for potable uses. In this study, the hydrogeochemical processes that control groundwater quality and contribute to better water resource management were characterised using major ion geochemistry, the calculation of water qu(...)

Managing seasonality in West African informal urban vegetable markets: The role of household relations.
Imogen Bellwood-Howard, Isaac Gershon Kodwo Ansah, Samuel Arkoh Donkoh, Gabin Korbéogo
Seasonality influences African informal agricultural markets, but existing literature inadequately explores its interactions with market actors' social relations and livelihood outcomes. Thus, agricultural commercialisation policy ineffectively supports such actors to manage seasonality. Across Bamako, Ouagadougou and Tamale, we conducted inte(...)
