Rheological properties of corn-wheat composite bread after common and separated hydration: from raw material to final product properties
Sonagnon H.S. Kouhounde, Hama Cisse, Hilarie Bonane, Ali Ouedraogo, Minnana Fellak, Mamoudou H. Dicko
Background: The war in Ukraine has led to a sharp rise in the cost of food imports, including wheat. In response to this situation, the FAO has encouraged African countries to make greater use of their local grains in breadmaking. Thus, this study aims to optimize the formulation of composite bread made from wheat and corn flour.

Les morphèmes homophones et homographes bɔ̀r du bisa barka
TARNADGA Issifou, TIROGO Issoufou François et DIO Adama
This article examines the word form bɔ ̀ r in Bisa Barka, a minority language spoken in Burkina Faso. It is necessary to determine whether this is a case of polysemy or homophony. Our analysis leads us to conclude that Bisa Barka possesses several morphemes with the signi®er bɔ ̀ r, whose signifieds are unrelated; they are therefore homophone(...)

Effect of Public Education Expenditure on Income Inequality in Low‐Income Countries: A Quantile Regression Approach
Relwendé Sawadogo, Thierno Thioune, Drissa Sawadogo, Gervasio Semedo
This paper aims to analyse the distributional effects of public social expenditure. To this end, it explores the conditional effects of education expenditure on income inequality in 42 low-income countries from 1998 to 2022. It is innovative compared to previous work in that it uses both a parametric method (instrumental variable method) and a(...)

This study examines extreme precipitation trends across Burkina Faso’s Sahelian, Sudano-Sahelian, and Sudanian zones from 1991 to 2023, amid growing hydro-climatic variability in West Africa. The aim is to determine whether changes in rainfall extremes reflect gradual trends, structural shifts, or both. Three indices were analyzed: maximum 1-d(...)
