Estimating the effect of increased contraceptive use on women's empowerment: using longitudinal PMA data, fixed effects modeling and fictive cohorts
Lonkila Moussa Zan, Clementine Rossier , Matthias Studer , Oumarou Dao , Georges Guiella
Historically, family planning (FP) programs in low-income countries have been valued for their benefits to child and maternal health. Today, there is a focus on integrating contraceptive access into women’s rights. However, measuring the impact of FP on women’s empowerment remains challenging due to a lack of experiments or longitudinal survey(...)

Phytoremediation of Mine Tailing – Potential of Chrysopogon Zizanioides and Andropogon Gayanus in a Sahelian Climate
Yamma Rose, Kone Martine, Yonli Arsène, Wanko Ngnien Adrien
The pollution of soil and, by extension, water resources by pollutants from mining operations is a major threat to Burkina
Faso due to the lack of waste treatment. Phytoremediation is an alternative way of cleaning up soil contaminated by pollutants
from mining waste. The ability of Chrysopogon zizanioides and Andropogon gayanus to accumulat(...)

An expression quantitative trait locus of Fc gamma receptor genes is associated with antimalarial IgG responses and infection levels in Burkinabe families
Christelle Dieppois, Mathieu Adjemout, Jules Cretin, Frederic Gallardo, Magali Torres, Christophe Picard, Serge Aimé Sawadogo, Pascal Rihet, Pascale Paul.
Bakground: The interaction between antibodies and Fcy receptors (FcyRs) plays a critical role in regulating immune responses to Plasmodium falciparum. Polymorphisms in genes encoding FcyRs influence the host's capacity to control parasite infection. The study investigates whether noncoding variants influencing FcyR expression are associated wi(...)
