Tiégnan, Z.J.F.R., Traoré, A., Bazie, B.V.E.J.T., Belemlilga, B.M., Koussé, D.J.N., Orisakwe, E.O., Traoré, L., Ouedraogo, T.-W.C., Djigma, W.F. and Simporé, J
Background: Atmospheric heavy metal is a worldwide issue, involving factors like atmospheric emissions, anthropogenic activities, air quality, human health and climate change, but it also leads to a long-term burden on biogeochemical cycling in the ecosystem. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the adverse health effects of level heavy metal ex(...)

Locals’ perceptions of the conservation status and socio-cultural factors determining the consent for cultivation of Vitex doniana Sweet, a threatened species in Burkina Faso
Hamadé Tidjani Guindé, Prospère Sabo, Bassiaka Ouattara, Ounyambila Lompo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Vitex doniana Sweet is a socio-economically important agroforestry species in Africa. However, the species is threatened by overexploitation, the degradation of its natural habitats, and the climate pejoration. Understanding the socio-cultural factors that influence local perceptions of species status and influence decisions about its conserva(...)

Minimally Invasive Right Thoracotomy Approach for Atrial Septal Defect Closure: Report of the First Case Performed in Burkina Faso
Adama Sawadogo1*, Daohu Chen2, Yacouba Tamboura1, Moussa Bazongo1, Issaka Zallé1, Alain Sanou1, Youssouf Naré1, Safietou Tiemtoré3, Lynda Compaoré3, Lassina Konaté3, Farid Belem4, Nestor Kabre4, Adama Sanou1
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall that divides the upper chambers of the heart. It may close spontaneously
or require closure. Historical approach was operative closure by a full sternotomy. Currently, the gold standard approach
is the device closure. When this approach is not available or is not indicated, the alternative is(...)

Commerce extérieur du Burkina Faso : Essai d'un Modèle de Résilience et d'Adaptabilité de la Balance des Paiements face aux Fluctuations des Prix des Matières Premières et aux Défis Économiques
Marius Koffi Dongo KOUADIO; Irifaar SOME et Gaétan BASSINGA
L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser les interactions entre les fluctuations des prix des matières premières, les chocs externes et la balance des paiements du Burkina Faso, sur la période 1981-2022, en utilisant un modèle économétrique à équations simultanées inspiré de Klein (1955). Les résultats montrent que les exportations sont positi(...)

Background
The bush banana (Uvaria chamae P. Beauv.) is a wild edible fruit, but its population has declined recently in Benin. This study assessed the traditional knowledge and use of U. chamae, along with the key factors relevant to its conservation and sustainable management. The study reports (i) traditional knowledge and effective use of(...)

Disorders of Biochemical Parameters Associated with Protein-energy Malnutrition in Adults Hospitalized in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Alice Kiba-Koumaré1, 2, * , Fabienne Soudré1, 4 , Raoul Karfo1, 5 , Claude Kocola1 , Arnaud Kouraogo6 , Elié Kabré1, 7 , Jean Sakandé1, 3
The assessment of the nutritional status of the hospitalized person is often considered secondary to the pathologies justifying hospitalization. A multicenter study conducted in six Belgian hospitals showed a risk of malnutrition in just over one in five patients. This malnutrition during hospitalization is more frequent in the elderly and tho(...)

Twin Births in 42 Sub-Saharan African Countries from 1986 to 2016: Frequency, Trends and Factors of Variation
Adama Ouedraogo, Gilles, Sophie le Coeur and Abdramane B. Soura
Since the 1970s, twin birth rates have increased sharply in developed countries. In Africa, where the rate is the highest globally, its evolution
and variation are poorly understood. This article aims to estimate the twinning rate in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries throughout
1986–2016 and analyze its spatial, temporal, and ethnic variat(...)

Towards a Single-Sign-On Authentication Architecture Based on OpenID Connect Protocol and Blockchain Technology
Assane Ilboudo, Didier Bassole, Justin P. Kouraogo, Gouayon Koala, Oumarou Sie
OpenID Connect is a delegated authentication protocol used in web and mobile applications. It emphasizes the crucial role of third-party applications, also known as Relying Parties, which securely request information from an identity provider. In this article, we have proposed an approach based on the Ethereum blockchain to enhance the authent(...)

Numerical analysis of a quasilinear parabolic problem with variable exponent
N. Rabo, U. Traoré, S. Ouaro
This paper deals with the numerical approximation of the mild solution of a quasilinear parabolic equation with variable exponent. Under some conditions, it is shown that the mild solution is a weak solution. Numerical tests are performed using the split Bregman method. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable(...)

Application of a new approach to the Adomian method to the solution of fractional-order integro-differential equations
Traoré André , Bationo Jeremie Yiyureboula a and Francis Bassono
In this paper we solve fractional order integro-differential equations of Fredholm type and Volterra type. For the solution
we use a new Adomian decompositional method.
In the first part we give the basic notions on fractional operators, essential to our work. The second part is devoted to
the description and convergence of the method. In t(...)

ON UNIQUENESS OF LOCAL ENTROPY SOLUTION OF A CONVECTION-DIFFUSION TYPE INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
MOHAMED BANCE and SAFIMBA SOMA
We study the uniqueness of entropy solution for a class of triply
nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations of the form
∂t k ∗(j(v)−j(v0)) −∇· a(x, ∇ϕ(v)) + F (ϕ(v)) = f
in a bounded domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The
source term f belongs to L1 and the memory term k ∗(j(v)−j(v0)) introduces
a nonlocal depe(...)

The classified Kou forest is one of the densest plant formations in Burkina Faso. It covers
an area of 117 hectares and is inhabited by a diversity of species. Indeed, inventories conducted
in the forest indicate a floristic wealth of around 277 species (Guinko, 2005) and a diversity of
fauna (Ouédraogo et al., 2011). Mycological studies ha(...)

De la naissance à la mort, l’humain dans la communauté moaaga est un potentiel apprenant. Il n’y a pas d’âge pour apprendre et le cycle de l’éducation est si long qu’il s’achève probablement avec la mort. Au nombre des rites qui rythment l’éducation de l’enfant, il y a l’initiation qui est désignée en moore sous l’appellation keoogo. C’est un(...)
