Effect of Ethanol on Preparation of Konjac Emulgel-Based Fat Analogue by Freeze-Thaw Treatment
Jie Jiang, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Fang Geng, Jing Li and Bin Li
In the current study, a method using ethanol to modulate the texture properties of konjac gel during freeze-thaw process was used to prepare konjac emulgel-based fat analogue. A certain amount of ethanol was added to konjac emulsion, heated to form a konjac emulgel, then frozen at −18 ◦C for 24 h, and finally thawed to obtain konjac emulgel-ba(...)

Social network-based abortion incidence estimation in Burkina Faso: Examining the impact of the network generating question
Suzanne O. Bell, Georges Guiella, Selena Anjur-Dietrich, Fiacre Bazie, Yentéma Onadja, Saifuddin Ahmed, Caroline Moreau.
Social network-based methods are increasingly used to estimate induced abortion incidence and investigate correlates. Approaches differ in the social tie definitions used to identify which social network members’ abortion experiences respondents will report. This study compares the effect of using the “best friend” (closest female friend) ver(...)

Effect of pedo-climatic conditions on physicochemical and agro-industrial potential of three wild fruits from Burkina Faso
35. Sama Hemayoro, Dieudonne Kimbie Traore, Samson Guenné, Adama Hilou and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Background: Plants are greatly affected by pedoclimatic conditions. They can alter the physiology of plants and
affect seeds agro-morphological and physicochemical characteristics. It is therefore conceivable that tree species
which have a potential as oil/fat producing plants are affected by pedoclimatic conditions variability. This study a(...)

Influence of Rice Husk Ash on the Durability of Cement Pastes in Hydrochloric Acid Environment
Issiaka Sanou, Moussa Ouedraogo, Tambi Ramde, Nassio Sory, Halidou Bamogo, Moustapha Sawadogo, Mohamed Seynou, Lamine Zerbo
The use of pozzolanic materials as cementitious additives is one of the ways to reduce CO2 production during cement production and also improve the durability of cementitious materials. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the influence of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) on the performance of cement pastes in hydrochloric acid environment. Fo(...)

Violence against women from partners and other household members during COVID-19 in Burkina Faso and Kenya
Michele R. Decker, Shannon N. Wood, Haley Thomas, Mary Thiongo, Georges Guiella, Fiacre Bazie, Yentéma Onadja, Peter Gichangi
Background
Global evidence indicates increases in gender-based violence (GBV) during the COVID-19 pandemic following mitigation measures, such as stay at home orders. Indirect effects of the pandemic, including income loss, strained social support, and closed or inaccessible violence response services, may further exacerbate GBV and undermine(...)

Comparison of Algorithms for the Detection of Plasmodium Falciparum: A Review of Machine Learning Based Approaches
Ouédraogo Josué; Guinko Ferdinand
Malaria is a disease caused by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes, and is most often manifested by symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue and vomiting. Diagnosis of malaria is still based on manual identification of Plasmodium by microscopic examination of blood cells or by Rapid Diagnostic Tests. These methods have shown their limitatio(...)

The Population Seen from Space: When Satellite Images Come to the Rescue of the Census/la population vue du ciel: quand l'imagerie satellitaire vient au secours du recensement
Edith Darin, Mathias Kuépié, Hervé Bassinga, Gianluca Boo, Andrew J. Tatem, Translated by Paul Reeve
The size of the population, the denominator of many statistical indicators, is crucial for public policy. National statistical offices organize the collection of this information, most often through a census. But what happens when parts of a country are not accessible to census enumerators? Today, spatial data extracted from satellite imagery(...)
