Introduction. In developing countries, there is lack of knowledge about pediatric
anesthesia while pediatric hospitals are scarce and do not fill all the needs. Therefore,
anesthetic care for children is provided by doctors and nurses in general hospitals. The aim
of this study was to assess their knowledge and practice regarding anesthetic(...)

Prevalence of Malaria among Children between 3 and 59 Months Old in Two Healthcare Districts of Burkina Faso, 2020
Yanogo Pauline Kiswendsida1,2*, Yanogo Chantal2, Halidou Tinto3
Every 75 seconds, there’s a child below 5 years of age who is dying from malaria throughout the world. Burkina Faso, which also suffers from the ravages of malaria, has developed several strategies to respond to the disease including seasonal malaria chemoprophylaxis (SMC). To generate basic data available for the study of the efficacy of a su(...)

Comparative study of the electronic properties of hexagonal and orthorhombic structures of RMnO3-type perovskites (R=Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) by DFT calculations
Joël Martial Balkoulga, Antoine Béré, Sidiki Zongo, Viwanou Hounkpati, Moussa Sougoti, Sié Zacharie Kam
The electronic properties of perovskite RMnO3 (R=Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) were studied using the density- functional theory (DFT). For each perovskite RMnO3, the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) structural parameters in the spin-up and spin-down configurations are optimized. The band structures, the density of states (DOS) and the part(...)

Enhancing Broadband Access in Urban Burkina Faso: A GIS and Machine Learning-Based Geomarketing Approach to FTTx Potential and Alternatives
Kebre Marcel Bawindsom; Kabore Wendpanga Rodrigue; Ouedraogo Sidi Mohamed Galiam; Tapsoba Paul; Sawadogo Alfred
This geomarketing study addresses the challenge of disparate broadband coverage in urban areas of Burkina Faso. Leveraging GIS and unsupervised machine learning techniques, such as hierarchical clustering and polygon segmentation were employed for spatial clustering and prioritization of broadband deployment zones. Through a comprehensive asse(...)

Fault Distance Location on an Electrical Transmission Line of a Medium-Voltage Network Using a New Solutions of the Telegraphy Equations
D. Konane, W. S. Boris Ouedraogo, W. O. Compaore, A. Zongo, Z. Koalaga and F. Zougmore, "
A fault location method in an electrical network is a combination of procedures, hardware, and software. determining the position of a fault in the network. This method calculates the distance between a reference position and the faulty position. Nowadays, at Société Nationale d'Electricité du Burkina (SONABEL), impedance and reflectometry met(...)

ENERGY PROBLEMATIC OF THE POWER FACTOR IN SOLAR INSTALLATIONS: CASE STUDIES, HIGHLIGHTING AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Zoundi Ousmane1*, Nzihou Jean Fidele1, Tissologo Moussa1, Ouattara Frederic1, and Segda Bila Gerard2
The aim of this article is to highlight the consumption of reactive energy and the consequences of not taking it into account in solar installations. Unlike active power, it is responsible for the magnetization or induction of electrical circuits (enabling the transfer of active power) and remains constant (depending on the type of equipment)(...)
