Démocratie et démagogie en Afrique : réalité et perspectives à partir d’une lecture de Kant
GUIGMA Marcel
Depuis trois décennies l’Afrique s’est engagée dans la voie de l’édification de la démocratie
tant elle est porteuse de la liberté et du bien-être de ses citoyens. Son fonctionnement donne le privilège
au citoyen de choisir son dirigeant, toute chose qui favorise la solidité des institutions démocratiques.

Ecological status of a newly impounded sub-saharan reservoir based on benthic macroinvertebrates community (Burkina Faso, West Africa)
Bancé Victor , Ouéda Adama, Kaboré Idrissa, Zerbo Henri and Kabré B. Gustave
In West Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso, the aquatic ecosystems are under human pressures.
Therefore, for long term management of these ecosystems, the managers need baseline data for regular
assessment of ecological health condition. In this regard, the structure of the benthic macroinvertebrate
community was investi(...)

Parameters Degradation Analysis of a Silicon Solar Cell in Dark/Light Condition using Measured I-V Data
Dominique Bonkoungou, Toussaint Guingane, Eric Korsaga, Sosthène Tassembedo, Zacharie Koalaga, François Zougmore, Arouna Darga
In this paper, we investigate and analyze parameters degradation in a typical photovoltaic (PV) cell, which lead to power loss under dark as well as light condition using measured current-voltage (I-V) data. A nonlinear least squares method to extract the parameters such as the reverse saturation currents, the ideality factors, the series and(...)

Quadratic Boost Converter: An Analysis with Passive Components Losses
Modou Badiane, Prince Abdoul Aziz Honadia Bernard Zouma, Fabé Idrissa Barro
The Cascaded Connected Single Switch Quadratic Boost (C2S2-QB) is studied first from its ideal model, then with semi-real model taking into account resistive losses through the inductors and the capacitor. The continuous conduction mode equations, describing these different models are established, taking into account losses through passive com(...)

EVAPORATION IMPROVEMENT IN NATURAL CONVECTION OF HEPTANE LIQUID DROPLET
DABILGOU Téré, DGHEIM Joseph, SANDWIDI Sayouba, DAHO Tizane, ZONGO S. Augustin, CHESNEAU Xavier, KOULIDIATI Jean, SANOGO Oumar, ZEGHMATI Belkacem and BERE Antoine (
A numerical study of the evaporation by laminar natural convection of a heptane liquid droplet is
presented. The classical boundary layer equations are used in the liquid phase and in the vapor phase.
The transfers are described by the natural convection equations. The linkage between heat and mass
transfer in the liquid and vapor phases(...)

Discontinuation of healthcare and factors associated to mortality among severe acute malnourished children under five years in healthcare and nutritional care settings
Ella W R Compaoré, Michel Eric W Kiemdé, Tiatou Souho, Ousmane Ouedraogo, Virginio Pietra, Koffi Agbokou, Noel Zagre, Kou'santa Emile Amouzou, Mamoudou H Dicko
Background and aims: Even if under-five children mortality tends to decrease considerably in developed countries, it remains a major concern in Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of the present study is to assess causes of healthcare discontinuation and factors associated with mortality among severe acute malnourished children under five years ol(...)

Allometric models for improving aboveground biomass estimates in West African savanna ecosystems
Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Issaka Ouédraogo, Larba Hubert Balima, Adjima Thiombiano
West African Sudanian savanna ecosystems greatly contribute to local peoples’ livelihoods and climate change mitigation. Yet, the contribution of these ecosystems to carbon storage remains poorly documented due to the lack of accurate biomass predictive tools. Therefore, biomass allometric models developed at both the species-level and site-le(...)

LE BÉTON ET LES BÉTONS A HAUTE PERFORMANCE
GOUBA Bernard
Les bétons à hautes performances présentent une durabilité améliorée et une résistance accrue. Ils sont capables de supporter des charges supérieures ou permettre des constructions plus élancées. Les Béton à Haute Performance peuvent également présenter des formes plus complexes et permettent de réaliser des ouvrages de grandes portées. Pendan(...)

There is a high prevalence of blood-borne infections in West Africa. This study
sought to determine the seroprevalence of blood-borne infections, including
hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV, and syphilis, in blood
donors in Burkina Faso. Blood donors were recruited from 2009 to 2013 in four
major cities in Burkina F(...)

Assessment of different sands potentiality to formulate an effective thermal energy storage material (TESM)
Bagré Boubou , Muritala Ibrahim Kolawole, Boukar Makinta, Daho Tizane, Nebié Jacques,Rabani Adamou, Béré Antoine
This paper presents a review of solid particles size effect on thermocline storage performance for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) storage systems. After an overview on the different process to store thermal energy we found that a particle size of 2cm diameter is better to achieve a good sensible heat storage performance within a system call d(...)

Community implementation of human landing and nonhuman landing collection methods for Wuchereria bancrofti vectors
Simon P. Sawadogo1*, Achille S. Nikièma1, Sanata Coulibaly1, Lassane Koala1, Abdoulaye Niang1, Clarisse Bougouma2, Roland W. Bougma2, Olivier Gnankine3, Frances M. Hawkes4, Daniel Boakye5 and Roch K. Dabiré
In the drive towards elimination of lymphatic filariasis, enhanced surveillance of vector mosquitoes
requires sound sampling methods which can be easily implemented and accepted by communities.
Several tools have been validated as alternatives to human landing catches (HLC) for this purpose, but
little is known about their effectiveness com(...)

High-throughput genomic markers provide an opportunity to assess important indica- tors of genetic diversity for populations managed in livestock breeding programs. While well-structured breeding programs are common in developed countries, in developing country situations, especially in West Africa, on-farm performance and pedigree re- cording(...)

Reinforcing locally led solutions for universal health coverage : a logic model with applications in Benin, Namibia, and Uganda
Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo, Andrea Thoumi, Keith Mangam, Cheickna Touré, Seyni Mbaye, Patricia Odero, Edward Owino, Claire Jones, Grace Ssali Kiwanuka, Zilper Audi, Danielle Bloom, Amelia Kinter, Allison Gamble Kelley
Development assistance for health programmes is often characterised as donor-led models with minimal country ownership and limited sustainability. This article presents new ways for low-income and middle-income countries to gain more control of their development assistance programming as they move towards universal health coverage (UHC). We ba(...)
