Revisiting the Non-Determinism of Code Generation by the GPT-3.5 Large Language Model
Salimata Sawadogo, Aminata Sabané, Rodrique Kafando, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
Despite recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation, their inherent non-determinism remains a significant obstacle for reliable and reproducible software engineering research. Prior work has highlighted the high degree of variability in LLM-generated code, even when prompted with identical inputs. This non-determini(...)

In response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, many countries have established surveillance systems
to collect data to monitor disease progression and the impact of control measures. In Mauritania,
HIV/AIDS surveillance data are collected and stored at the Outpatient Treatment Centre in the AMNIR
CHIVA database. We analyzed the database to establish(...)

Agro-morphological and molecular evaluations of local cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) at the Saria research station in Burkina Faso
Hamadou Sidibe, Fanta Razacswendé Ouedraogo, Boureima Sakande, Wend- Denda Firmin Ilboudo, Pierre Kabore, Pasteur Y. Etienne Bazie et Mahamadou Sawadogo
Local varieties could be a source of genetic variability. For this reason, six varieties were evaluated for agromorphological and molecular variability. A randomized Fisher's complement block with three replications was used. Pod pigmentation, seed size, stem habit and hilum color showed a difference in at least one of the 5
varieties. Statis(...)

Socio-Economic Inequalities and Implications for Drinking Water Supply Strategies in the Undeveloped Areas of the Town of Koudougou
Nadège Compaore, Tewendé Antoine Marie Sawadogo, Joseph Yameogo
This study analyses the dynamics of drinking water supply and economic inequalities in thenon-parcelled areas of Koudougou, Burkina Faso. Using a mixed method, the study reveals that low-income households, which rely on community water points, incur high costs, travel long distancesand face significant health risks linked to water quality. Wea(...)

Physicochemical and Mineralogical Characterizations of Two Natural Laterites from Burkina Faso: Assessing Their Potential Usage as Adsorbent Materials
Corneille Bakouan, Louise Chenoy, Boubié Guel, and Anne-Lise Hantson
In the framework of lateritic material valorization, we demonstrated how the geological environment determines the mineralogical characterizations of two laterite samples,
KN and LA. KN and LA originate from the Birimian and Precambrian environments, respectively. We showed that the geological criterion alone does not determine the applicabil(...)

Impact of US Government funding cessation on TB care and prevention: a multicountry survey in Africa
K.G. KOURA, A.N. SOE, R.A. DLODLO, Y. LIN, P. SINHA,G. BADOUM,M.F. DOGO,C.R. HORSBURGH,A.D. HARRIES
Historically, the United States (US) government has
played a crucial role in global TB elimination efforts
through funding mechanisms such as the United States
Agency for International Development (USAID), the
President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). These investments h(...)

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF SOLUTION FOR THE ADVECTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION WITH A FRACTIONAL LAPLACIAN OPERATOR
MARTIN NITIEMA, THOMAS TINDANO, DAOUDA PARE
We consider an advection-diffusion problem involving a fractional Laplace operator of order
0 < s < 1. First, we give the preliminaries that will be used in the following to prove the existence of the
solution to the problem under consideration using Lions’ theorem. Finally, we show that this solution is
unique.

How Many Goats Does a Mannequin Cost? Community-engaged Design of Layperson First Responder Training Materials in Low-resource Settings
Hannah B Wild, Moumini Niaone, Aparna Cheran, Madeline Ross, Barclay T Stewart, Nicolas Meda
Objectives
Simulation materials for layperson first responder (LFR) trainings used in high-resource settings are prohibitively expensive for use in low- and low-middle income countries. To date, no structured approach to community-engaged design in identifying accessible and acceptable simulation materials for LFR trainings has been developed(...)
