Factors Influencing Women’s Non‑Agricultural Entrepreneurship in Rural Burkina Faso: Does Unpaid Housework Matter?
Habi KY
This paper uses conditional mixed process (CMP) estimation to analyse the impor
tance of unpaid housework as a determinant of non-agricultural entrepreneur
ship among rural women in Burkina Faso. The CMP procedure allows us to esti
mate both the intensity of work in non-agricultural activities relative to agricultural
activities and the d(...)

Natural resource revenues and double taxation treaties in developing countries: insights from a network centrality approach
Harouna Kinda, Abrams M. E. Tagem
This paper investigates the impact of double taxation treaties (DTTs) on resource revenue mobilization in 91 resource-rich countries from 2000 to 2019. We calculate annual degree centrality indices to measure countries’ integration into the tax treaty network. The results of applying panel fixed effects and methods-of-moments approaches indica(...)

Negative transfer in the L2 acquisition of passive constructions among French learners in Burkina Faso
Alain Noindonmon HIEN et Ryan Spring
This study examines the acquisition of French passives by L1 Burkinabè native language learners. It investigates the negative L1 transfer from languages that do not overtly mark passive constructions. The analysis also includes other factors that are strongly associated with successful acquisition of French passives. The results confirm that L(...)

Burden of Invasive Candidiasis in West Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Seydou Nakanabo Diallo, Isidore W. Yerbanga, Serge Henri Zango, Isabel Montesinos, Olivier Denis, Annie Robert, Sanata Bamba, Hector Rodriguez-Villalobos
Invasive candidiasis (IC) is an emerging opportunistic fungal infection associated with high mortality among hospitalized patients. Although the epidemiology of IC is progressively changing worldwide, the trend in Africa still needs to be es- tablished. This review aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of IC in Western re- gion of Africa. A compr(...)

Pyogenic liver abscess: an unusual cause of preterm delivery
D Ouédraogo, B Diallo, H Dicko, A Traoré, RB Niangado, SA Beye, M Sissoko, M Konaté, M Keita, Y Coulibaly
Background: Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare and serious clinical entity during pregnancy, particularly in tropical regions where infectious diseases predominate. Fever is the most common symptom, but the diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity and the overlap of symptoms with other tropical diseases.
Clinical case: We report the c(...)

Driving fiscal growth: the impact of EITI membership on tax revenue mobilization in resource-rich developing countries
Harouna Kinda
ABSTRACT Resource-rich developing nations continue to grapple with the paradox of abundant natural wealth failing to translate into sustainable growth—a phenomenon often dubbed the ‘resource curse.’ As global initiatives strive to harness natural resources for development, this paper evaluates the ‘treatment effect’ of Extractive Industries Tr(...)

Production de la pomme de terre à l’épreuve de la variabilité climatique dans la commune de Ouahigouya, région Nord du Burkina Faso
Salifou SANOGO
La pomme de terre est une spéculation maraichère qui joue un rôle important dans le développement local de la commune de Ouahigouya. Sa production est basée essentiellement sur l’irrigation, donc dépendante de la ressource eau. Ainsi, la présente recherche s’est fixée comme objectif d’analyser la production de la pomme de terre dans un context(...)

Prototype fabrication of a CPV made of Gregorian homogenizer concentrator and experimental investigation of its uniform illumination according to sun misalignment
Stanislas SANFO, Serge Dimitri Bazyomo, Tizane Daho, Abdoulaye Ouedraogo
In the field of Photovoltaic Concentration (CPV) technologies, the design of a concentrator to ensure a uniform distribution of irradiation is an issue. In fact, concentrator illumination varies with the sun’s misalignment, and series-connected cells performances are limited by the less illuminated cell. This study investigates the performance(...)
