Introduction: Bilharzia or hepato-splenic schistosomiasis is caused by lesions related to Schistosoma mansoni, a trematode of the genus
Schistosoma. This chronic waterborne parasitic disease is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is endemic. It can
be complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding due to rupture of esop(...)

Genotype × environment interaction on tuber yield of Tiger Nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) grown in West Africa
KOMBELEMENogueba Abraham, SOME Koussao, GAMSORE Nattan , TIAMA Djakaridja , SAKANDE Boureima, and BATIONO KANDO Pauline
The performance of most crop genotypes is strongly influenced by genotype-environment interactions. Thus, finding good-performing and adapted nutsedge genotypes is necessary for growers to improve their productivity. Consequently, the aim of this study is to understand the effect of genotype x environment interaction (GEI) on tuber yield and t(...)

Enjeux conjoncturels et défis structurels communicationnels au Burkina Faso
YÉ Doumbo Gautier
La communication a pour finalité de faire passer un message et de se faire comprendre. Son efficacité tient tant aux acteurs de sa mise en œuvre qu’à la compréhension des processus et mécanismes interpersonnels de toute situation ou contexte communicationnelle. Aussi, est-il pertinent de s’interroger sur la question de l’orientation profession(...)

Towards a Semantic Architecture for Data Lakes
Sione, A., Traore, Y., Thiombiano, J.
Data lakes are a storage system for large volumes of raw heterogeneous data, adopting an area-based architecture. The main challenge of this architecture is the extraction and storage of raw data without any content monitoring, making data processing and access difficult. In this paper, we propose the integration of an ontology into this archi(...)

Influence de la température et de la charge sur les performances des batteries électrochimiques dans les systèmes solaires photovoltaïques au Burkina Faso
KORSAGA Eric ; Haidara SAVADOGO ; Toussaint Tilado GUINGANE; Dominique BONKOUNGOU; Zacharie KOALAGA
Face aux problèmes environnementaux l’énergie solaire photovoltaïque est devenue de nos jours l’une des principales alternatives aux ressources dites fossiles pour la production de l’énergie électrique. Les batteries électrochimiques sont généralement utilisées dans les systèmes photovoltaïques comme technologies de stockage pour assurer une f(...)

Modeling and simulation of the spread of radicalization to terrorism: A theoretical and numerical analysis
Malicki Zorom, Mamadou ROUAMBA, Elisée GOUBA, Babacar LEYE, Mamadou DIOP, Abdou LAWANE GANA, Pascal ZONGO
In this study, we propose a mathematical model for terrorism dynamics by dividing the population into three compartments: (S) susceptible, (E) extremists, and (T) deradicalized. The model is formulated as a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, enabling the determination of the radicalization-free equilibrium, the basic reproduc(...)
