The Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA!) and Global Observatory for Physical Education (GoPE!) 2025 Country Cards /Results from Burkina Faso’s 2025 GoPA! Country Card
Amidou Sawadogo, Brahima Ouedraogo, Juliana Mejía-Grueso, Andrea Ramírez Varela
Background: Burkina Faso faces a growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which account for 45.5% of all deaths. Physical inactivity is recognized as a major and modifiable risk factor for these diseases. Promoting physical activity has therefore become a public health imperative. The efforts of the Global Observatory for Physical Ac(...)

SOUDRE Fabienne Marie B.T.B.1, KARFO Raoul1, KIBA Alice1, KOURAOGO Arnaud2, VOKOUMA N. Edwige Isabelle1, KABRE Elie1, SAKANDE Jean1
Introduction: Nephrotic syndrome is a common chronic kidney disease in children, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, it represents a real challenge for pediatric care. In addition to kidney damage, nephrotic syndrome is often accompanied by dyslipidemia, which is implicated in worsening prognosis and cardiovascular risk. Howev(...)

SpreadSentinel: A Forward-Chaining Approach to Early and Adaptive DDoS Mitigation
Delwende D. Arthur Sawadogo, Abdoul Rahim Koné, Zakaria Sawadogo, Didier Bassole, Roland Kalmogo, et Gouayon Koala
The early detection of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks in dynamic and imbalanced network environments remains a critical and unresolved challenge. While temporal deep learning architectures such LSTM, GRU, TCN, and RNN have demonstrated effectiveness in capturing sequential dependencies in network traffic, their real-time utilizat(...)

Aboubacar Baba Zouré, Loyapin Bondé, Bassiaka Ouattara, AmadéOuédraogo
Annona senegalensis Pers. is a wild edible shrub species with high nutritional value. However, the species is poorly promoted across sub-Saharan Africa due to the lack of information about its productivity. This study aimed to: (i) identify the driving factors of the species’ fruit biomass and (ii) develop allometric models for estimating its(...)
