Psychanalyse et littérature orale. (Une approche psychanalytique de mythes et fabliaux africains)
BARRY Aboubacar
La psychanalyse appliquée à la littérature s’étend aussi à la littérature orale : contes, légendes, mythes… Beaucoup d’auteurs ont analysé les textes oraux et écrits européens d’un point de vue psychanalytique. L’essai de Freud sur « Le roman familial du névrosé » constituait, on le sait, une préface écrite pour le texte d’Otto Rank sur Le myt(...)

Approche dimensionnelle de la symptomatologie du TSPT et stratégies de régulation émotionnelle chez les personnes déplacées internes au Burkina Faso
BARRY Aboubacar, BIRBA Désiré
Dans le domaine de la psychotraumatologie, les troubles post-traumatiques ont fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches à travers le monde. Dans certains cas, la symptomatologie post-traumatique s’installe et perdure entraînant l’apparition d’un1 Trouble de Stress Post- Traumatique (TSPT). Le TSPT est un trouble très fréquent au sein des populatio(...)

Hybrid Feature Selection with a Meta-learner for Explainable IoT Intrusion Detection
Alphonse Sanou, Moustapha Bikienga, Poulmanogo Illy, Frédéric Tounwendnyam Ouedraogo
The heterogeneity and resource constraints of IoT networks make intrusion detection complex. High dimensionality, significant class imbalance, and a lack of model interpretability challenge the deployment of effective IDS models. This paper proposes a hybrid feature selection framework driven by a supervised meta-learner that aggregates six co(...)

Sexual corruption, informal networks and female entrepreneurship: evidence from Burkina Faso
Doris Aja‐Eke, Robert Gillanders, Roisin Lyons, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Windkouni Haoua Eugénie Maïga, Zalissa Wanga
Sexual corruption occurs when public officials abuse their power to obtain sex or sexual favours. It is a hugely damaging yet underreported and understudied form of corruption that predominantly affects women and vulnerable people. This paper studies the impacts of sexual corruption on female entrepreneurs. It expands the literature on sexual(...)

Litho-Stratigraphic Refinement of the Precambrian Rocks in the Kampti-Loropeni Greenstone Belt, South-West Burkina Faso (West African Craton)
Mathieu Nanema , Wendkouni Passecdé Pauline Zongo, Adama Ouédraogo Yaméogo , Urbain Wenmenga, Yao Honoré Koffi
The Kampti-Loropeni greenstone belt (KLB) in south-west Burkina Faso forms part of the paleoproterozoic Baoulé-Mossi domain of the West African Craton. Its lithostratigraphic chronology and magmatic sources remain insufficiently constrained. This study integrates field observations, petrography, whole-rock and trace element geochemistry, whole(...)

How does farmers' income diversification beyond agriculture affect food security in rural Burkina Faso?
Salamata Bougma, Zié Ballo, Eugenie Maiga
Purpose This study analyzes the effect of participation in non-farm activities (NFAs) on the food security of farming households in rural areas. These households face major challenges in increasing agricultural production and income, leading to a deterioration in their food security. Design/methodology/approach The endogenous switching model i(...)

Litho-structural characters of the Birimian belt of Banfora (Burkina Faso-West Africa)
Abdoulaye Ouédraogo, Adama Ouédraogo Yaméogo, Saga Sawadogo, Seta Naba
The Banfora volcano-sedimentary belt is located in western Burkina Faso within the Léo-Man Shield of the West African Craton. It is characterized by lithological and structural diversity. Petrographic studies have identified, (i) volcanic rocks (andesites, basalts and volcanoclastites), (ii) metasedimentary rocks (argillites, siltstones, shale(...)

Preliminary Result in the Detection of Four Varieties of Mangoes with YOLOv11: Amélie, Kent, Mangot vert, Brooks
Moustapha Bikienga, Sanguirè Pascal Somda, Safiatou Soré, Tounwendyam Frédéric Ouédraogo, Corneille Drabo
The automatic detection of mango varieties using YOLOv11 was explored in order to evaluate the performance of this deep learning model in an agricultural context in Burkina Faso. The study focused on four representative varieties: Brooks(Retard), Mangot vert, Amélie, and Kent. Average Precision (AP) was chosen as the main metric, since it comb(...)

Fossil fuel subsidies and health in sub-Saharan African countries: Exploring asymmetrical effects and transmission channels
Jacques Boundioa, Souleymane Diallo
Fossil fuel subsidies have increased in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. High and rising energy prices, as well as the volatility of internationally traded energy prices, are justifications for such an increase. However, by lowering the price of fossil fuels through subsidies, governments are encouraging consumption leve(...)
