BF-WeakWeb-2025: A Novel Dataset and LLM Benchmark for Web Vulnerability Detection in Burkina Faso
Nana Sidwendluian Romaric and Bassolé Didier and Guel Désiré and Sié Oumarou
In a context of increasing digitalisation of administrative processes, cybersecurity has become a strategic issue for states, particularly Burkina Faso. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research into cybersecurity in Burkina Faso. In this article, we present an approach for identifying vulnerabilities in applications and websites from Burkina(...)

Private Key Fragments Secure Recovery Approach in Passkeys System Based on Blockchain Technology and Error-Correcting Codes
Assane Ilboudo Didier Bassole and Desire Guel
In this paper, we propose an innovative approach to enhance the security and resilience of passkeys. this approach combines Shamir’s Secret Sharing Scheme, Reed–Solomon error-correcting codes, AES-GCM encryption, and decentralized storage systems such as blockchain and IPFS. In this approach, the adopted methodology is structured around three(...)

African eggplant Solanum aethiopicum L. subsp., is an important vegetable crop in
tropical regions, particularly in Burkina Faso. The present study was initiated with the
aim of carrying out a biochemical characterization of its fruit called “Kumba”. The
macromolecule contents were determined by standard methods. The mineral contents
were(...)

Adéquation formation emploi au Burkina Faso : quelle pourrait être la contribution de l’approche par les compétences dans les formations professionnalisantes à l’université ?
Lucien ZAONGO
Au Burkina Faso, un paradoxe existe entre l'augmentation des taux de scolarisation et le chômage élevé parmi les jeunes diplômés. En effet, ce chômage a atteint 13,4% en 2023 pour les titulaires de diplômes supérieurs. L’inadéquation entre les compétences acquises lors des formations et celles attendues par les employeurs contribue à ce phénom(...)

The migration experience and mental health in the context of insecurity: evidence from Burkina Faso
Hervé Bassinga, Alexandra Tebkieta Tapsoba, Bruno Yempabou Lankoandé, Nabié Douba, Mamadou Soura, Roch Modeste Millogo, Yacouba Compaoré, Soumaïla Ouedraogo & Daniel Mwanga
Background
Since 2015, recurrent terrorist attacks in Burkina Faso have caused large-scale displacement, impacting the psychological health of affected populations. This study explores the effects of migration forced or voluntary on depression and anxiety among adolescents and young people aged 15–24, in line with SDG 3, which aims to “ensure(...)

Can permanganate oxidizable carbon, microbial respiration, and carbon mineralization rate reflect carbon dynamics across land use and pedo-climate gradients in West African semi-arid zones?
Gannouka Nadjire, Alimata Arzouma Bandaogo, Amanuel W. Gebremichael, Oumarou Ouédraogo and Joseph Issaka Boussim
Climate variability, soil type, land use, and vegetation structure modulate soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, but their effects on sensitive soil carbon indicators are not adequately quantified in semi-arid ecosystems. This research examined the independent and synergistic impacts of pedo-climate, land use, and canopy cover on permanganate o(...)

Optimization and comparison of Deep Learning architectures for multi class classification of DDoS attacks in enterprise networks
Yacouba OUATTARA, Yaya TRAORE and Yves SAVADOGO
This article presents an in-depth study aimed at optimizing and comparing several deep learning architectures for multi-class classification of DDoS attacks in enterprise
networks, using the CIC-DDoS2019 dataset. The methodological approach includes rigorous data preprocessing (normalization, encoding, balancing, stratified split) as well as(...)

Growth dilemmata: The case of African firms
Abdoulganiour Almame Tinta
In this study, we exploit panel data of 2450 manufacturing firms from a sample of 30 African
countries from 2013 to 2023 to examine the link between firm performance and innovation. Focusing
on innovation and firm growth, this study addresses R&D activities, product innovation, process
innovation, and organizational practices. Applying vari(...)

La place des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) dans la diffusion des foyers améliorés en Haute-Volta (1977-1983)
DEMBEGA Salam
Les années 1970 furent marquées au Sahel par une sécheresse aux multiples conséquences sur la vie des hommes et l’environnement. Pour réduire la consommation du bois de feu en Haute-Volta, des Organisations Non Gouvernementales (ONG) s’engagèrent dans la diffusion des foyers améliorés. Cette étude a pour objet d’analyser la promotion de ces di(...)

Les enjeux du discours philosophique dans le roman africain : le cas de L'Aventure ambiguë de Cheikh Hamidou Kane et La Carte d'identité de Jean-Marie Adiaffi
TIAHO Lamoussa
L’un des traits non négligeables du roman africain réside aussi dans la capacité des écrivains à convoquer le débat philosophique dans l’espace romanesque. La présence du discours philosophique dans la diégèse des romans comme L’Aventure ambiguë de Cheikh Hamidou Kane et La Carte d’identité de Jean-Marie Adiaffi est un signe qui vient attester(...)

La mobilité humano-spatiale dans la littérature burkinabè à travers l'oeuvre romanesque de Monique Ilboudo
TIAHO Lamoussa
Signe des temps modernes, le phénomène de la mobilité humaine n’est pas nouveau dans le roman africain qui, depuis les origines s’est beaucoup intéressé au binarisme spatial entre ville et campagne où on assistait à l’évolution des protagonistes des récits sous une forme de va-et-vient incessants entre les deux pôles (ville/campagne). À l’évid(...)

The AMBRE Project: Line-broadening and stellar rotation of ESO/FEROS archived spectra
F. Bado, P. de Laverny, Z. Kam, A. Recio-Blanco, P. A. Palicio and J. Koulidiati
Context. Stellar rotation is a fundamental parameter in studies of the formation and evolution of stars. However, large homogeneous catalogues of rotational velocities derived from high-resolution stellar spectra are still lacking.
Aims. The main objective of this work is to determine the line-broadening parameter (Vbroad), which is a proxy f(...)

ANALYSIS OF A CO-INFECTION MODEL CONSIDERING THE INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION DYNAMICS
Ali TRAORE, Hamadoum Dicko, Rosaire Ouedraogo
In this paper, we present a mathematical model to study the dynamics of a co-infection involving two diseases: one that confers tem- porary immunity and the other that confers permanent immunity, while incorporating the impact of information dissemination about temporary immunity disease. The study of the disease with temporary immunity shows(...)

Ideational Metafunction and Identity Building in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Zorobi Philippe TOH & Lallé Michaël ZOUBA
This paper explores identity construction in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. It is rooted on the ideational metafunction, which is built around process types, participant roles and circumstances. Six chapters were randomly chosen across the corpus through drawing lots Six excerpts, one excerpt from each of the six chosen chapters and rangin(...)
