Socio-cultural Factors Affecting Traditional Knowledge and the Cultural Significance of the Aromatic and Medicinal Plant, Boswellia dalzielii Hutch., in Burkina Faso
Sabo P., Tiétiambou F.R.S., Guindé H.T., Salako K.V., Johnson S., DeCarlo A., Mensah S., Glèlè-Kakaï R., Ouédraogo A.
The medicinal plant Boswellia dalzielii is well known and widely used by local communities in West Africa. However, detailed information about this knowledge and its distribution among local people remains poorly documented. We assessed traditional knowledge (TK) regarding the use of B. dalzielii in communities in Burkina Faso. We conducted 16(...)

Urbanisation et transport à Koudougou (Burkina Faso)
OUEDRAOGO Rawelguy Ulysse Emmanuel
La mobilité constitue un des leviers fondamentaux dans l’aménagement et la structuration spatiale d’un territoire. Cependant, lorsque le développement du secteur du transport ne se fait pas de manière simultanée avec celui de la ville, il se pose alors des difficultés. La présente recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de la contribution du secteur(...)

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(...)

Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Harouna Soré, Ernest Nogma Sombié, Mindiédiba Jean Bangou, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébéogo
Ethnobotanical aspects
Burkina Faso has great potential in terms of medicinal plants. These plants have been used to treat many illnesses since time immemorial, both in rural and urban areas.
Aim of study
Medicinal plants sold in urban areas are generally adulterated. Suspicions of ineffectiveness and toxicity by some users call into questi(...)

Design and Construction of a Solar/Biomass Hybrid Cooker for Sahelian Climatic Conditions
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Lucmane Koala, Boubou Bagré, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Guy Tubreoumya, Ali Diané, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
Solar box cookers are eco-friendly and eliminate the need for wood, but they are not always sufficient to replace biomass stoves. Few studies have explored combining solar and biomass energy in a single system. In our study, we designed a hybrid device that integrates a box-type solar cooker with a biomass combustion chamber. This system prior(...)

Structural Evolution of the Boni Shear Zone (BoSZ): Implications for Gold Mineral Exploration in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Tarnagda Fayçal Aziz , Sawadogo Sâga, Sawadogo Benjamin, Ouiya Pascal, Ouédraogo Abdoul Razack, Perrouty Stéphane
The Boni Shear Zone (BoSZ) has garnered significant interest from the geological exploration community following the Siou gold deposit discovery in the Mana gold district, southwestern Burkina Faso. The BoSZ represents a sheared contact separating the “Tarkwaian-type” metasedimentary sequences and the “Birimian-type” metavolcanic and metavolca(...)

The seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) represents one of the key interventions for malaria elimination in seasonal malaria transmission settings. However, though the SMC was implemented in Burkina Faso since the last ten years, the incidence of malaria in children of 3 to 59 months under seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) remains high(...)

Background
The widespread use of histidine-rich protein 2 (HPR2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), specific to Plasmodium falciparum in endemic areas may underestimate the weight of minor species such as P. malariae and P. ovale in malaria transmission. This study aimed to determine the extent of undetected P. malariae and P. ovale infecti(...)

Superiority of Three Directly Observed Treatment Compared to One Directly Observed Treatment in the Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in Children Aged Under Five in Burkina Faso: A Quasi-Experimental Trial
Pauline Kiswendsida Yanogo, Sanou Nadine, Isidore Traoré, Yanogo Chantal, Halidou Tinto
The implementation of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in Burkina Faso has not achieved its objective of reducing by at least 60% the morbidity associated with malaria in children under 5 years of age. We assessed a new approach of delivery consisting for the community health workers to directly supervise the three doses of the treatment(...)
