Abstract
Arboviral diseases are emerging public health challenges in Burkina Faso, largely driven by
the proliferation of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the environment. Effective surveillance of
arbovirus circulation is critical to inform interventions. From August 2022 to June 2023, we
implemented a comprehensive entomological surveillance(...)

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(...)

Les maltraitances des personnes âgées de plus de 60 ans, un phénomène encore négligé par l’action publique en Afrique. Revue narrative et approche anthropologique
ROUAMBA George, KAFANDO Lilianne Christelle, SIMBRENI Marie-Madeleine
La maltraitance des personnes âgées est un phénomène universel. Des interventions sont élaborées et mises en oeuvre partout dans le monde, mais elles sont insuffisamment connues, et encore moins évaluées. L'objectif de cette revue est d'évaluer l'état de la littérature sur les interventions de lutte contre la maltraitance des personnes âgées d(...)

On the study of cellular automata on modulo-recurrent words
Moussa Barro, K. Ernest Bognini and Boucaré Kientéga
In this paper, we study some class of cellular automata (CA) preserving modulo-recursive, stability by reflection and richness called stable cellular automata (SCA). After applying these automata on Sturmian words, we establish some combinatorial properties of these new words. Next, the classical and palindromic complexity functions of these w(...)

Soybean flour possesses significant technological potential for the development of innovative food products. This
study aimed to develop chips using soybean flour to overcome the limitations of traditional chips, which are
often high in fats and calories. An optimal mixture experimental plan (D-optimal) was used to optimise the
proportions(...)

Perspectives of religious beliefs and family planning by religious leaders and young women: results from a qualitative study of Bobo-Dioulasso and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso
Amelia Maytan-Joneydi, Kindo Boukary, Fiacre Bazié, Fatimata M. Traoré, Yentema Onadja, Georges Guiella and Ilene S. Speizer
Background Burkina Faso is religiously diverse compared to its neighbors. Religion and religious leaders are often perceived as being against family planning (FP) use. That said, the literature on different religions and religious leaders’ position on FP does not demonstrate a uniform stance and there is a dearth of perspectives related to use(...)

Genetic parameter estimation is used to develop selection strategies for sustainable and climate smart agriculture. The aim of the study is to determine the level of agromorphological diversity and show which hereditary traits would have good heritability to be taken into account in varietal improvement and genetic progress. Seven hundred and(...)

Evaluation of Microbiological Quality of Soy-Based Products (Milk and Yogurt) Collected in Ouagadougou”
Cissé Hama, Abdelsalam A. Doutoum, Zongo Oumarou, Djibrine Adoum Oumar, Kabré W. Jeanne d’Arc, Sawadogo Haguèra, Sawadogo Adama, Zongo Cheikna, and Savadogo Aly
Soybean (Glycine max) is leguminous plant cultivated for their protein-rich seeds, which are used in human and animal nutrition. Their seeds are processed into yogurt, milk, and many other by-products. However, during the processing of these products (milk and yogurt), they can be contaminated with physical, chemical, and biological contaminan(...)

Proposal of Models for Global Solar Radiation Estimation in Burkina Faso
Ladifata Mogmenga, Goumwêndkouni Gilbert Nana, Salifou Ouédraogo,Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice Ky, Bouchaib Hartiti, Sié Kam, Joseph Dieudonné Bathiebo.
The solar data used to size installations for energy needs are most often oversized. The data used are either old or suffer from the effects of climate change or from data extrapolated to a whole region. For a country with a strong sunshine all year round, it is good to compare the many models that exist to find the most suitable for the count(...)

How do climate and land use affect structural attributes, diversity and carbon sequestration at both vegetation and species levels in West African savanna ecosystems?
Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro, Loyapin Bondé, Pawend-taoré Christian Bougma, Reginald Tang Guuroh, Oumarou Ouédraogo & Anja Linstädter
Research on land use impacts on woody diversity and carbon stocks in West African savannas has primarily focused on the vegetation level. However, a combined analysis at both vegetation and species levels offers a more nuanced understanding of carbon loss patterns and provides stronger guidance for management and conservation of threatened spe(...)

Faidherbia albida (Delile) A. Chev. is a key agroforestry species that provides multiple ecosystem services, including soil fertilization, carbon sequestration, and forage production. Despite its ecological importance in climate change mitigation and its vital role for rural communities, natural populations of F. albida are declining due to po(...)

Evaluation of local larval diets for mass rearing of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to support sterile insect technique programs in Burkina Faso

Aedes aegypti Linnaeus 1762 is the primary vector of several viruses that cause arboviral diseases. Control strategies, such
as SIT, require large-scale mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) production, which depends critically on larval nutrition. However, the
high cost and limited availability of conventional feed components hinder SIT implementat(...)
