Hydrochemical Assessment of Groundwater Quality in the City of Manga and the Surrounding Area, Burkina Faso, West Africa
Césard Millogo , Blehiman Sagnon, Sayoba Kafando, Samuel Nakolendoussé
The population of the city of Manga and the surrounding area is supplied with drinking water by boreholes exploiting the fractured rock aquifer. However, these boreholes are often managed without considering the impact of natural geogenic and anthropogenic sources of toxic chemicals, which can threaten groundwater quality. Major ion geochemist(...)

Enhancement of the geological mapping in weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas using village water supply wells data (lithology and hydrochemistry)
Cheik Abba Cissé Ouangaré, Séta Naba, Patrick Lachassagne
In weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas, because rock outcrops are rare due to the extensive regolith cover, geological mapping is largely based on the interpretation of airborne data and imagery (aerial photographs, satellite images, airborne geophysics when available, etc.). In the sub-Saharan Africa, numerous village water supply(...)

Force Image Schemas and Verbal Abuse in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers
Lallé Michaël ZOUBA
Abstract: People produce texts as they speak or write. Image schemas, are preconceptual spatial structures that are an integral part of the meanings of words and some of them relate to force. Verbal abuse takes different forms such as intimidation and threats. Language use in its various contexts embeds force image schemas and verbal abuse. Fi(...)

Enhancing the use of phosphate rock through microbially-mediated compost transformation to improve agronomic and economic profitability in sub-Saharan Africa
Adama Sagnon, Mamoudou Traore, Ezechiel Bionimian Tibiri, Saïdou Zongo, Isidore Juste O Bonkoungou, Satoshi Nakamura, Nicolas Barro, Fidele Tiendrebeogo, Papa Saliou Sarr
Soil degradation and limited access to chemical fertilizers partly explain the persistently low crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa. To provide local farmers with alternative fertilizer options, this study examined the impact of locally sourced fertilizers on sorghum productivity and soil health. Treatments were set up in a completely randomized(...)

Titre: Investigating Effective Reconnaissance Drought Index Ability to Reproduce Drought Signature over the Massili Basin (Burkina Faso)
Tog-Noma Patricia Emma Bontogho1*, Michelline Marie Regina Kansole1, Mercy Apuswin Abarike2 , Mamounata Kabore3
Drought is a significant natural hazard particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where water resources management is already challenging. Burkina Faso, a landlocked country located in the Sahel region, is highly vulnerable to drought due to its arid climate. The country has experienced recurrent droughts since the 1970s, with significant imp(...)

Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms, but how these swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly
understood. We characterized three-dimensional spatiotemporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii
males swarming at sunset above a ground marker. The location, shape, and volume of swarms were highly
stereotypic, consistent over the complete(...)

Mathematical analysis of the effects of precarious health system on COVID-19 transmission dynamics: case of Burkina Faso
Ousmane Koutou, Komi Afassinou, Adama Ouedraogo, Abou Bakari Diabate
In the early moments of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the level of e ectiveness in treatment and management of patients was limited due to the lack of e ective medications and adapted infrastructures in several countries especially in most developing countries. In this study, we propose an SIR-pattern model to investigat(...)
