Design and Construction of a Solar/Biomass Hybrid Cooker for Sahelian Climatic Conditions
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Lucmane Koala, Boubou Bagré, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Guy Tubreoumya, Ali Diané, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
Solar box cookers are eco-friendly and eliminate the need for wood, but they are not always sufficient to replace biomass stoves. Few studies have explored combining solar and biomass energy in a single system. In our study, we designed a hybrid device that integrates a box-type solar cooker with a biomass combustion chamber. This system prior(...)

Structural Evolution of the Boni Shear Zone (BoSZ): Implications for Gold Mineral Exploration in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Tarnagda Fayçal Aziz , Sawadogo Sâga, Sawadogo Benjamin, Ouiya Pascal, Ouédraogo Abdoul Razack, Perrouty Stéphane
The Boni Shear Zone (BoSZ) has garnered significant interest from the geological exploration community following the Siou gold deposit discovery in the Mana gold district, southwestern Burkina Faso. The BoSZ represents a sheared contact separating the “Tarkwaian-type” metasedimentary sequences and the “Birimian-type” metavolcanic and metavolca(...)

Factors Associated with Malaria in Children Aged 3 to 59 Months Under Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention with Direct Observation Therapy in Two Districts in Burkina Faso, 2020: A Quasi-Experimental Trial
Yanogo Pauline Kiswendsida1, 2, * , Sanou Estelle Nadine2 , Yanogo Chantal2 , Ouédraogo Smaïla1 , Meda Nicolas1, 2 , Halidou Tinto3
The seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) represents one of the key interventions for malaria elimination in seasonal malaria transmission settings. However, though the SMC was implemented in Burkina Faso since the last ten years, the incidence of malaria in children of 3 to 59 months under seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) remains high(...)

Superiority of Three Directly Observed Treatment Compared to One Directly Observed Treatment in the Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in Children Aged Under Five in Burkina Faso: A Quasi-Experimental Trial
Pauline Kiswendsida Yanogo, Sanou Nadine, Isidore Traoré, Yanogo Chantal, Halidou Tinto
The implementation of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in Burkina Faso has not achieved its objective of reducing by at least 60% the morbidity associated with malaria in children under 5 years of age. We assessed a new approach of delivery consisting for the community health workers to directly supervise the three doses of the treatment(...)

Background
The widespread use of histidine-rich protein 2 (HPR2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), specific to Plasmodium falciparum in endemic areas may underestimate the weight of minor species such as P. malariae and P. ovale in malaria transmission. This study aimed to determine the extent of undetected P. malariae and P. ovale infecti(...)

Plaidoyer pour une sociocritique africanisée
TIAHO Lamoussa et KAMBIRE Ferdinand
Telle qu’elle est conçue depuis son texte fondateur, proposé par Claude Duchet, en passant par les différentes écoles qui l’ont enseignée, la sociocritique s’est inspirée et enracinée profondément dans les traditions (culturelles, idéologiques, théoriques, méthodologiques et pédagogiques) occidentales. En Afrique, les critiques appliquent les(...)

Issoufou Tao, Daniel Candotti, Tampoupila Edwige Yelemkoure, Albert T Yonli, Abdoul Karim Ouattara, Cyrille Bisseye, Florencia W Djigma, Dorcas Obiri-Yeboah, Jacques Simpore
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes about 900 deaths per year in Burkina Faso. In the absence of a vaccine, HCV infection remains a major public health problem. In addition to prevention efforts, an important strategy in the fight against HCV is therapy. Knowledge of the different genotypes circulating can allow for better treatment tai(...)

COPULAS AND EVALUATION OF TVaR RISK MEASUREMENT AND TVaR-BASED CAPITAL ALLOCATION IN A CONTEXT OF TAIL DEPENDENCY
Kiswendsida Mahamoudou OUEDRAOGO, Abdoul Karim DRABO, Delwendé Abdoul-Kabir KAFANDO and S. Pierre Clovis NITIEMA
In this paper, we construct an extension of Spearman’s copula and
evaluate the risk measure TVaR (Tail Value at Risk) and the TVaRbased capital allocation for an insurance portfolio whose risks
maintain a tail-dependency relationship via this new copula. Assuming
that the portfolio comprises two lines of business whose risks are
identicall(...)

SOLVING THE STANDARD TELEGRAPH EQUATION WITH A FRACTIONAL-ORDER DERIVATIVE TERM USING THE LAPLACE-ADOMIAN METHOD
MINOUNGOU Youssouf, BAGAYOGO Moussa, NEBIE Abdoul Wassiha, PARE Youssouf
In this article, we study the solution of the standard telegraph equation with a fractional derivative term by the Laplace-Adomian method. For this purpose, we establish the convergence of the Laplace-Adomian algorithm applied to the solution of the standard telegraph equation with a fractional-order derivative term, and propose the solution o(...)
