Socio-ecological factors contributing to the use of slash-and-burn as cropland preparation practice in Burkina Faso
Pawend-taore Christian Bougma, Loyapin Bondé, Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro , Bruno Nikiema , Oumarou Ouédraogo
Biomass burning (BB) is a widely practiced agricultural method for clearing cropland and a major source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, contributing to climate change (CC). Understanding the key socio-ecological factors influencing BB use and farmers’ knowledge of CC is crucial for decision-making on sustainable land management. This study(...)

Conception, Realization and Testing of a Novel Solar Collector.
Kanré Bamogo, Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice Ky, Lareba Adélaïde Ouédraogo, Salifou Ouédraogo, Sié Kam and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiébo
The system proposed in this article is a collector made up of hemispherical concentrators. The prototype consists of four reflecting bowls covered with 8 mm glass in which 42 liters of sunflower oil circulates. The oil being the absorber itself is heated by the hot spots resulting from the concentration of the spherical reflectors. So the prop(...)
