Acute bacterial meningitis is caused by three major pathogens : Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and Haemophilus influenzae (Hi). In addition to these three pathogens, bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae and many other bacteria, viruses and parasites are implicated in the occurrence of m(...)

Interaction of predatory macroinvertebrate communities with malaria vectors in aquatic habitats of three climatic zones in Burkina Faso
Judicael Ouedraogo, Simon P. Sawadogo, Abdoulaye Niang, Abdoulaye Soulama, Sylvie Yerbanga, Tarwendpanga F. X. Ouédraogo, Bouraïma Vincent Séré, Charles Guissou, Roch K. Dabiré, Ruth Müller, Olivier Gnankine and Abdoulaye Diabaté
Background In aquatic larval habitats, Anopheles larvae are subject to the predatory activity and competition
of macroinvertebrates. These macroinvertebrates may play a key role in the Anopheles population’s bioregulation
in aquatic habitats and malaria control. There are few studies characterizing macroinvertebrate predators and other
macr(...)

Evaluating Convergence Rates in Particle Swarm Optimization: Insights from Gradient-Perturbation and Dual-Binary Approaches
Ywo Josue BAZIE, A Drabo, Abel ZONGO, Clovis NITIEMA
This paper investigates the convergence properties of two Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms:
the Gradient-Perturbation PSO and the Dual-Binary PSO. We introduce a novel evaluation criterion that
quantifies the rate of convergence using a stochastic dynamic averaging approach, enabling a more precise
analysis of the algorithms’ pe(...)

Introduction. L'inactivité physique contribue à 8% des décès mondiaux (OMS), avec des disparités régionales sous-étudiées en Afrique subsaharienne. Au Burkina Faso, où les maladies non transmissibles progressent, les médecins – pourtant prescripteurs clés – présentent paradoxalement des taux élevés de sédentarité et prescrivent rarement l'exer(...)

Background Despite impressive reductions in overall global child mortality, the rate of decline has slowed during the past decade. Current guidelines for the care of paediatric patients in low-resource settings mostly focus on broad clinical syndromes or undernutrition rather than children’s individual contextualised risk. We aimed to identify(...)

Ethanol is a psychoactive substance. Its abuse has health, regulatory and medico-legal consequences. Consequently, the
determination of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) necessitates a highly sensitive and robust analytical procedure. To address
this necessity, the National Agency for Health, Environmental, Food, Labor, and Health Product Sa(...)

Despite the efforts to prevent vertical transmission of HIV, about 130 000 children worldwide acquire HIV each year, and 40% of those remain undiagnosed. Many factors contribute to this poor outcome including, but not limited to, failure to identify mothers seroconverting during pregnancy or postpartum, suboptimal early infant diagnosis, misin(...)

Locals’ perceptions of the conservation status and socio-cultural factors determining the consent for cultivation of Vitex doniana Sweet, a threatened species in Burkina Faso
Hamadé Tidjani Guindé, Prospère Sabo, Bassiaka Ouattara, Ounyambila Lompo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Vitex doniana Sweet is a socio-economically important agroforestry species in Africa. However, the species is threatened by overexploitation, the degradation of its natural habitats, and the climate pejoration. Understanding the socio-cultural factors that influence local perceptions of species status and influence decisions about its conserva(...)

Drop-in efficient self-attention approximation method
Damien François, Mathis Saillot, Jacques Klein, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Alexander Skupin
Transformers have achieved state-of-the-art performance in most common tasks to which they have been applied. Those achievements are attributed to the Self-Attention mechanism at their core. Self-Attention is understood to map the relationship between tokens of any given sequence. This exhaustive mapping incurs massive costs in memory and infe(...)

INCIVISME SCOLAIRE AU BURKINA FASO : ÉTAT DES LIEUX ET PERSPECTIVES
Eric Zongui KI
L’incivisme scolaire prend de l’ampleur et attire toutes les attentions au
Burkina Faso. Elle se manifeste par le vandalisme, les agressions physiques des élèves
contre les enseignants, l’absentéisme en classe, les habillements extravagants, etc. Cette
situation d’incivisme a des répercussions négatives sur la cohésion sociale et
