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(...)

Le marché central de Ouahigouya de 1991 à 1996 : reconstruction et modes de gestion
Hervé Landry Coulibaly, Sita Porogo
Aux lendemains des indépendances, le Burkina Faso, à l'instar des autres pays africains, était confronté à un crucial problème de développement. La gestion centralisée des affaires publiques a vite montré ses limites. C'est pourquoi depuis l'application des Programmes d'Ajustement Structurel (PAS), il est de plus en plus question du désengagem(...)

GC-MS characterization of bioactive compounds from Lippia multiflora Moldenke (Verbenaceae) flower essential oils and their antibiofilm potential against resistant bacteria
Ablassé Rouamba, Moussa Compaoré, Yahaya Zoungrana, Eli Compaoré & Martin Kiendrebeogo
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a global health challenge, partly due to biofilm formation, which protects bacteria against drugs and the immune system. This study investigated the potential of essential oils from Lippia multiflora flowers to inhibit bacterial biofilms, offering a natural alternative to address bacterial resistance. Ant(...)

Heterogeneous effects of financial inclusion on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sié Ernest Youl, Pam Zahonogo, Relwendé Sawadogo
This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using data from 45 countries between 2001 and 2020. We find clear differences in how financial inclusion affects poverty across groups of countries: In the first group, financial inclusion reduces poverty, but in the other two groups, it increases pove(...)

Square-mean pseudo almost automorphic Solutions of class r in the α-norm under The light of measure theory
Djendode Mbainadji, Issa Zabsonre
The main objective of this work is to study the existence and uniqueness of the square-mean (μ, ν)-pseudo almost automorphic solution of class r in the α-norm for a stochastic partial functional differential equation. For this purpose, we use the Banach contraction principle and the techniques of fractional powers of an operator to obtain the(...)

Neonatal Mortality in Burkina Faso: An Exploratory Analysis of Determinants and Geospatial Inequalities
Hervé Bassinga
Objectives: This article analyzes the factors associated with neonatal mortality in Burkina Faso, as well as the communal inequalities in this mortality.Methods: The analysis is based on data from the 2021 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). It draws on a representative sample of 7,225 children. The determinants of mortality were examined usi(...)

Measuring adult mortality from mobile phone surveys in Burkina Faso, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kassoum Dianou, Bruno Masquelier, Shammi Luhar, Bruno Lankoandé , Ashira Menashe-Oren , Abdramane Soura, Hervé Bassinga, Malebogo Tlhajoane, Boniface Dulani, Pierre Z Akilimali, Georges Reniers
In many low and middle-income countries, adult mortality estimates are derived from surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These interviews can be time-intensive and are often impractical during health crises or humanitarian emergencies. The expansion in cellphone ownership and network coverage has created new opportun(...)

Mapping Agroecology Networks in Burkina Faso : Governance, Challenges and Pathways for Transition
Yasmina Tega, Hycenth Tim Ndah, Eveline Sawadogo/Compaoré, Jean-Marie Dipama and Johannes Schuler
Agroecology is recognized as a resilient agricultural system amid the ecological crisis, but
also as a social movement working towards better livelihoods for farmers. In Burkina
Faso, the dynamics among actors promoting agroecology are not well understood. Effec-
tive governance of the agroecological transition necessitates a deeper comprehe(...)

Molecular Detection of blaCTX-M-G1, blaVIM blaIMP and mcr Genes in Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase Bacilli Isolated at Schiphra Protestant Hospital, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
KJ. ZONGO, I. TIENDREBEOGO, MR. YOUGBARE, TWC. OUEDRAOGO, H. OUEDRAOGO, L. TRAORE, M. SAVADOGO, FW. DJIGMA and J. SIMPORE
Background and Aim: Infectious diseases nowadays are caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria,
making their management both difficult and costly. In Gram-negative bacilli, several enzymes
particularly ESBLs and carbapenemases allow to counteract the antibiotic effect of nearly all β
lactams. This leads to a dilemma for clinicians who increa(...)

Insect visitors of green fruits of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) and their potential role in the plant fruiting
Zézouma Anselme Dao, Rahim Romba, Ainara Peñalver-Cruz, Pascale Satour, Bruno Jaloux, Amadé Ouédraogo, Olivier Gnankiné
Annona senegalensis is a multipurpose wild shrub mainly used for food and traditional medicine by local people in tropical African. During its fruiting period, especially at the green fruit stage, this plant harbors an important community of insects such as various ant species (Formicidae) and the planthopper Hilda undata Walker (Tettigometrid(...)

Stay-green potential and interannual stability of sweet-stalk sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso
Salif Berthé; Wendmanegda Hermann Tondé; Pingawindé Sawadogo; Josiane Tiendrebeog; , Djakaridja Tiama;, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Sweet stalk sorghum is grown in Burkina Faso primarily for its grain, forage, and sugar-rich stalks. However, its productivity is heavily reliant on rainfall, and the variability in annual precipitation significantly limits its contribution to household food security. In this context, identifying droughttolerant genotypes with stable performan(...)

Asymptotic convergence of the extremes of a geometric random variables sequence
Frédéric Béré, Caleb-Rodolphe Bazié and Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara
In this paper, we give some contributions to the analysis of the behavior of the extremes of a category of random variables (r.v.) of geometric type. First, we exhibit a subsequence making certain r.v. of integer part converge. Then we prove the convergence in law of extremes of a sequence of geometric type r.v. Finally, we prove the mean conv(...)

A two dimensional nonlinear space time mathematical analysis of fish and zooplankton dynamics considering the fishing effects in the ecosystem
Wendkouni Ouedraogo, Hamidou Ouedraogo, Ousmane Koutou, Boureima Sangare
We consider a reaction-diffusion model with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions to describe fish and zooplankton dynamics. We also introduce two important elements: fishing and cannibalism effect in the dynamics using a non linear functional responses. In the mathematical analysis, global attractor, persistence conditions and the stability(...)

Effect of provenance and traits of fruit on the seed germination of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
OUEDRAOGO Hassane, KABRE Blaise, LYKKE Anne Mette, GUINDE Hamadé Tidjani, ADAM Abdul-Aziz, LANKOANDE Benjamin, OUEDRAOGO Amadé
Senegalia macrostachya is a multipurpose native shrub in West Africa that faces challenges in natural regeneration due to pests and overharvesting. This study evaluates seed germination and early seedling growth according to provenance, maturity stage, and the number of seeds in the fruit. Fruits were collected from four sites in two climate z(...)
