Beyond Dystopian Tragedy: Louise O’Neill’s Dystopian Martyrs as Models of Resistance to the Beauty Myth
Djili Soura, André Kaboré & Moussa Kambiré
Le roman de Louise O’Neill, Only Ever Yours, est perçu comme un roman dystopique pour jeunes
adultes qui, à travers sa représentation fataliste de l’oppression des femmes, fonctionne comme une
mise en garde contre les discours de beauté normative véhiculés par les médias populaires
contemporains. Sans remettre en question l’efficacité des s(...)

α-Amylase inhibitory effects of hydroethanolic extract from seven plants commonly used for Type-II diabetes treatment in Burkina Faso
Boureima KABORE1, Mamounata DIAO1*, Samson GUENNE1,2, Hemayoro SAMA1,2, Kabakdé KABORE1, Abdoudramane SANOU1,3, Crépin Ibingou DIBALA1, Jocelyn Constant YAPI4, Kiessoun KONATE1,3 and Mamoudou Hama DICKO1
Natural α-amylase inhibitors may be beneficial in reducing the release of oligosaccharides from starch and
thereby delaying glucose absorption. This research aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against α-amylase and
the inhibition mode of hydroethanolic extracts from seven plants traditionally used in the treatment of type II
diabetes.(...)

Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)

Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Benjamin Kiema, Boubou Bagré, Guy Tubreoumya, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
There are many locally available materials that can be used in the construction of cooking devices. Materials account for a significant portion of construction costs, and reducing their cost can help lower the overall cost of such projects. One of the most effective ways to reduce costs in the development of affordable cooking systems is to pr(...)
