Analysis of Burkina Faso’s Institutional Framework and Budget Allocations for NCDs Control and Monitoring
Moussa Ouedraogo, Dia Sanou, Mahamadé Goubgou, Estelle Aissa Bambara, Souleymane Tirogo, Aly Savadogo
Diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health issue and a global development challenge today. However, governance responses to these diseases remain in their infancy in most low-income countries, including Burkina Faso. How Burkina Faso organizes itself institutionally and financially to adequately address NCDs is sti(...)

Male Infertility at the University Teaching Hospital of Bogodogo, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: Epidemiological, Clinical and Paraclinical Profile of 278 Cases
Ouattara Adama1,2*, Koné Madina2, Sawadogo Yobi Alexi1,2, Kiemtoré Sibraogo1,3, Ouédraogo Issa4, Ouédraogo Charlemagne
Context: Infertility is a public health problem. Although in our society, infertility is usually attributed to the female gender, current knowledge also incriminates the male. Few studies have looked at the male profile in particular. The aim of our study is to investigate the profile of male infertility during the campaign initiated in the De(...)

Assessment of Health Risks Associated with the Presence of Antibiotic-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Attiéké Consumed in Burkina Faso
Ibonyé Diéni, Touwendsida Serge Bagré, Boureima Kagambèga, Oumarou Zongo, François Tapsoba, Nicolas Barro
Attiéké, a popular food in Burkina Faso, is often produced under variable hygienic conditions, which favors the proliferation of pathogenic microorgan- isms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a growing threat to the health of consumers. This study assessed the health risks asso- ciated with the presence of MRSA in atti(...)

IoT Devices Security Improvement Based on Collaborative Intrusion Detection System and Blockchain Technology
Yempabou Yves Stéphans Loari; Didier Bassole; Leonard M. Sawadogo; Gouayon Koala; Oumarou Sié
IoT is one of today's major growth areas. With its low computing power and massively exchanged heterogeneous data, it is vulnerable to numerous at-tacks. In this paper, we proposed a collaborative system based on hybrid intrusion detection and blockchain technology to improve IoT devices security. Thus, we simulated a federated learning using(...)

Performance Assessment of Queuing Networks with Intermittently Accessible Servers, Failed Servers, Corrective Maintenance, Feedback, and Customer Abandonment.
FAYAMA, Finyori, Abdoul Karim DRABO, Abel ZONGO, and S. Pierre Clovis NITIEMA.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of M/M/K (K > 2) multiserver queuing networks with
intermittently accessible servers, failed servers, corrective maintenance, feedback and client dropouts. We first
studied the two-server heterogeneous M/M/2 model, in which Server 1 is considered to be subject to outages
with corrective ma(...)

MEAN (µ, ν)-PSEUDO ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF CLASS r UNDER THE ANGLE OF MEASURE THEORY TO SOME STOCHASTIC EVOLUTION EQUATIONS
Victorien Fourtoua Konane, Bernard Balma
The paper introduces and studies the concept of mean
(µ, ν)-pseudo almost periodic solution of class r for stochastic processes
using the measure theory. We use (µ, ν)-ergodic process to define the spaces
of (µ, ν)-pseudo almost periodic processes of class r in the mean sense. We
also present many interesting results on this spaces, such a(...)

Green hydrogen is a promising solution within carbon free energy systems with Sub-Saharan Africa being a possibly well-suited candidate for its production. However, green hydrogen production in Sub-Saharan Africa is not yet investigated in detail. This work determines the cost-potential for green hydrogen production within this region. Therefo(...)
