Analysis of evaporation-induced water losses from rectangular and cylindrical rainwater harvesting basins (non-truncated and frustum) in a hot tropical climate (Burkina Faso)
Mariatou Zon; Soumaïla Gandema; Marcel Bawindsom Kébré; Wenceslas Somda; Zacharie Koalaga
This study models and simulates rainwater harvesting basins in the Sahelian zone to quantify evaporation-driven water losses and assess implications for design and water-resource management. Four basin geometries are evaluated—parallelepiped, prismoid (rectangular frustum), truncated cone (cylindrical frustum), and perfect cylinder—using a uni(...)

Towards an Ontology and Knowledge Graph-Based Recommendation Approach Enhanced with Large Language Models for Civil Service Recruitment in Burkina Faso
Wend-Panga Régis Cédric BÉRÉ, Yaya Traoré, P. Justin Kouraogo, Daouda Ouedraogo
Recruitment processes in the civil service often face challenges related to the management of competencies, complex regulatory rules, and the lack of explainability in selection decisions. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid recommendation approach that integrates a modular core ontology, a dynamic knowledge graph, and large language(...)

Towards An Ecore-Based, Uncertainty-Aware Metamodel for Auditable Geopolitical Decision Support
Somda Flavien Hervé, Guel Désiré , Kangoye Sékou
We present GeoDepend-ML, a temporal, multiplex Ecore metamodel for representing geopolitical interdependence and influence with auditability. The model treats actors (states, blocs, enterprises, organizations), assets (resources, technologies, infrastructures, routes), and artifacts (e.g., treaties, licenses, sanctions) as first-class elements(...)

Réduction de la fécondité des adolescentes de 1993 à 2021 au Burkina Faso : les principaux facteurs explicatifs et mécanismes de changement
NABIÉ Douba, DABONÉ Issiaka et MILLOGO Roch Modeste
La fécondité des adolescentes a considérablement baissé, passantn de 149 ‰ en 1993 à 93 ‰ en 2021 au Burkina Faso. Malgré l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de diverses politiques et stratégies, ce niveau reste élevé. La maternité, lorsqu’elle survient avant le 20e anniversaire, est un obstacle pour le bien-être, l’éducation et l’emploi de l’ad(...)

CMIP6 projections of agroclimatic characteristics across the climatic zones of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Mazo Dabré; Moussa Waongo; Marcel Bawindsom Kébré; Jacques Ulrich Diasso
Sahelian countries are among the most vulnerable regions to climate change–related natural hazards, and Burkina Faso, located in the Sahelian zone of West Africa, is particularly exposed. This study analyzes a set of precipitation-based climate indices (RX1day, RX5day, SDII, CWD, R10mm, R20mm, R95pTOT, R99pTOT) and assesses the impact of clima(...)

École africaine et développement endogène : quel regard critique ?
OUEDRAOGO Gaoussou
Cet article entreprend d’interroger la théorie de l’endogénéisation de l’école et du développement. Il cherche à s’assurer la pertinence de ce modèle. Pour ce faire, cette réflexion s’inaugure par une démarche explicative de ces notions offrant ainsi leur meilleure compréhension. Après cette partie explicative, elle s’est donnée pour tâche d’a(...)
