Objective Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally, with approximately 1.5 million deaths in 2020.
TB often coexists with chronic communicable and non-communicable diseases, but data to determine the extent
of comorbid diseases are limited. In this study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of TB multimorbidity and its risk facto(...)

Stability of a Vector-Borne Disease Model with a Delayed Nonlinear Incidence
TRAORE Ali
A vector-borne disease model with spatial diffusion with time delays and a general incidence function is studied. We derived conditions under which the system exhibits threshold behavior. The stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are analyzed by using the linearization method and constructing appropriate Lyapuno(...)

A syntactic account of clausal complementation in Jula
Alassane Kiemtoré
Cet article propose une dérivation syntaxique unifiée pour la complétive clausal en jula (langue mandingue du groupe nigéro-congolais, à ordre SOV) en mobilisant deux mécanismes : la prédication (cf. Bowers 1993 ; den Dikken 2006 ; Citko 2011) et l’assignation de cas selon Koopman (1992). Deux types de propositions complétives sont examinés :(...)

Differentiation of Sahelian aquifers from chemical and isotopic composition using linear statistics and machine learning
Abdoul-Azize Barry, Suzanne Yameogo, Meryem Touzani, Samuel Nakolendoussé, Meryem Jabrane, Abdessamad Touiouine, Ismail Mohsine, Laurent Barbiero & Vincent Valles
In Sahelian Africa, the characteristics of boreholes are often lost and, when several aquifers are present on
the same site, it is difficult to know which one is being tapped or is likely to be contaminated, which
hinders good management of the resource. In this study conducted on 153 wells distributed in the four
major aquifers of Burki(...)

Multiple pulp necroses in a patient with heterozygous sickle cell disease: A case report
Wendpoulomdé Aimé Désiré Kaboré, Stéphane Xavier Djolé, Kouadio Florent Kouakou, Anta Seck, Marie Chantal Avoaka-Boni, Yolande Gnagne-Koffi
This study reports several pulp necroses in a patient with sickle cell disease (SCD), a pathology with a high risk of infection which can lead to life-threatening patients. An African male patient with SCD, 31 years old, was received at the municipal oral health center on June 4, 2002, for a pericoronitis of 48 which quickly evolved into cellu(...)

New Experimental Methods for Measuring suction and chemical potential of Aqueous Solution of Ethanol in Soil
Samuel Ouoba and Jean-Claude Bénet
In this article we develop various experimental methods for measuring the suction and the chemical potential of water and ethanol in soil. The results obtained are in good agreement between the method using the filter paper and the sorption isotherm at low water contents. The precision is less good for the high water contents between the filte(...)
