In the French-speaking countries of Africa, strategies of conservation, inherited from the colonial time, exclude the bordering people in the management of the national parks plant resources. Today, policies and legislation try to reconcile forest conservation and development by associating local people. As a consequence, approaches of partici(...)

Voltametry and EQCM study of copper oxidation in acidic solution in presence of chloride ions
S. Kologo; M. Eyraud; L. Bonou; F. Vacandio; Y. Massiani
Les travaux présentés dans cet article avaient pour objectif de mieux comprendre le mécanisme
d’oxydation lors de la phase de planarisation des dépôts épais du cuivre. En effet, après l’électrodéposition du
cuivre sur un substrat, la surface peut être rendue plus plane par oxydation (dissolution) des excès de dépôt.
Ce mécanisme de dissolut(...)

AGASSOUNON DTM, F Toukourou, C SOUZA, Mamoudou H. DICKO, AS Traoré, Gbeassor
Phytochemical studies carried out on the leaves of Rytigynia canthioides (Benth.) Robyns with regard to the content of organic and mineral substances and the presence of active principles have given satisfactory results. Our results revealed that Rytigynia canthioides contain proteins, lipids, sugar and polyphenols with the contents varying fr(...)

Diagnostic de l’état de dégradation des peuplements de quatre espèces ligneuses en zone soudanienne du Burkina Faso
A. THIOMBIANO
Résumé L'aridité climatique et la pression anthropique sont à l'origine de la régression de nombreux ligneux en zone soudanienne. Afzelia africana, Bombax costatum, Boswellia dalzielii et Pterocarpus erinaceus sont des espèces multi-usages très appréciées, mais menacées de disparition dans la région est du Burkina Faso. Un diagnostic de l'état(...)

Immunoglobulin enhancer HS1,2 polymorphism: a new powerful anthropogenetic marker
V Giambra 1, C Martínez-Labarga, M Giufré, D Modiano, J Simporé, B K Gisladottir, R Francavilla, G Zhelezova, S S Kilic, M Crawford, G Biondi, O Rickards, D Frezza
The human HS1,2 enhancer of the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain 3' enhancer complex plays a central role in the regulation of Ig maturation and production. Four common alleles HS1,2-A*1, *2, *3, *4 are directly implicated with the transcription level and at least one of them, HS1, 2-A*2, seems to be related to immune disorders, such as coeliac(...)

Pouvoir révolutionnaire et catholicisme au Burkina Faso, 1983-1987
Magloire Somé
On a souvent parlé du silence de l’Eglise catholique burkinabé sous la Révolution démocratique et populaire déclenchée par le Capitaine Thomas Sankara, silence diversement interprété par l’opinion nationale. Cet article vise à montrer les rapports difficiles que l’Eglise romaine a eus avec le pouvoir révolutionnaire. Le CNR a certes évité d’at(...)

Characterization of drug-resistance mutations in HIV-1 isolates from non-HAART and HAART treated patients in Burkina Faso
W. M. Nadembega, S. Giannella, J. Simporé, F. Ceccherini-Silberstein, V. Pietra, A. Bertoli, S. Pignatelli, M. C. Bellocchi, J. B. Nikiema, G. Cappelli, A. Bere, V. Colizzi, C. P. Perno, S. Musumeci
Non-B HIV subtypes have been estimated to account for 88% of HIV infections in the world. These subtypes are particularly relevant in view of the availability of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, since subtype-specific mutations are associated with drug-resistance in developing countries. Therefore, the pol gene sequences in HIV-1 isolates were exam(...)

Sorghum Grain as Human Food in Africa: Relevance of Starch Content and Amylase Activities
132. DICKO Mamoudou. H., GRUPPEN, H., TRAORE, A. S.; van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J
Sorghum is a staple food grain in many semi-arid and tropic areas of the world, notably in Sub-Saharan Africa because of its good adaptation to hard environments and its good yield of production. Among important biochemical components for sorghum processing are levels of starch (amylose and amylopectin) and starch depolymerizing enzymes. Curre(...)

Oligosaccharides in colostrum of Italian and Burkinabe women
Maria Musumeci, Jacques Simpore, Alfonsina D'Agata, Stefano Sotgiu, Salvatore Musumeci
Human milk contains a large number of compounds to provide nutrition and defense for the newborn. Among these, oligosaccharides are present in concentrations up to 12 g/L, and their composition varies during lactation. Colostrum from 53 Burkinabe women were collected at the maternity department of St Camille Medical Centre in Ouagadougou (Burk(...)

Les missionnaires protestants américains face au nationalisme français en Haute-Volta de 1920 à 1939
Magloire Somé
Cet article analyse les problèmes rencontrés par les missionnaires protestants dans la colonisation de Haute-Volta, territoire de l'empire français d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les administrateurs et les missionnaires catholiques opposèrent le nationalisme français aux protestants d'origine américaine. Ils voyaient dans l'empire français l'extension(...)

Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) from Mediterranean to Sub-Saharan Areas
Rosa Chillemi, Andrea Angius, Ivana Persico, Alessandro Sassu, Dionigio A. Prodi, Salvatore Musumeci
There are differences in the allele frequency of MTHFR polymorphism between Western and African population. The aim of this study is to determinate the prevalence of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in young and old people living in different areas from Mediterranean to sub-Saharan areas. The observed vs expected genotype frequencies of 67(...)

Effet de la fertilisation minérale sur la décomposition d´un mélange de feuilles dans un parc agroforestier à Boni
Hugues R. BAZIE
Agroforestry parklands occupy a key place in farming system of Burkina Faso. However, there is a limited management of the litter from trees of parklands for soil fertility
improvement. Therefore, the present study was carried out with the aim to quantify the litter produced yearly and understand the decomposition rate as well as the release(...)

Entropy solutions of a stationary problem associated to a nonlinear parabolic strongly degenerate problem in one space dimension.
S. Ouaro
We study a nonlinear elliptic degenerate equation with the form: b(u)−a(u,φ(u)x)x=f which is associated to the elliptic-parabolic-hyperbolic equation of the form: b(u)t−a(u,φ(u)x)x=f. We prove in this work without Alt and Luckhaus structure condition existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions of the associated Dirichlet problem. We also def(...)
