Contribution du Sponsoring Sportif dans le Processus D’autonomisation Financière des Clubs de Football de Première Division au Burkina Faso de 2018 à 2020

L’objectif de cette recherche était d’analyser la contribution du sponsoring sportif dans le processus d’autonomisation des clubs de football de première division au Burkina Faso de la période 2018 à 2020. Les données ont été collectées auprès des structures sportives puis traitées et analysées à l’aide de méthode des moindres carrés ordinaires (MCO) des données de panel avec le logiciel Stata 14. Les résultats des estimations montrent que les recettes du sponsoring sportif influencent positivement et significativement le budget des clubs de football de première division au Burkina Faso. Ainsi, une hausse d’un point de pourcentage des recettes du sponsoring entraine une augmentation du budget des clubs de première division de 0,02 point de pourcentage au seuil de 5%.   The objective of this research was to analyse the contribution of sports sponsorship in the empowerment process of first division football clubs in Burkina Faso from 2018 to 2020. The data were collected from the sports structures and then processed and analysed using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method of panel data with Stata 14 software. The results of the estimations show that sports sponsorship revenues positively and significantly influence the budget of first division football clubs in Burkina Faso. Thus, a one percentage point increase in sponsorship revenues leads to a 0.02 percentage point increase in the budget of first division clubs at the 5% threshold

Dépenses publiques d'éducation et pauvreté au Burkina Faso: une approche en Équilibre Général Calculable

Un modèle d’équilibre général calculable multisectoriel est construit afin d’évaluer les répercussions directes et indirectes des politiques publiques en matière d’éducation sur le bien-être, la pauvreté et la distribution des revenus au Burkina Faso. Il spécifie une dotation en main-d’œuvre qualifiée et non qualifiée flexible pour chaque ménage. Le système d’éducation est scindé en deux : L’éducation de base et l’éducation supérieure. Le volume d’éducation supérieure est exogène alors que l’éducation de base est demandée par les ménages à des fins d’investissement et permet de « transformer » les travailleurs non qualifiés en travailleurs qualifiés. Les simulations indiquent qu’une augmentation uniforme de 40 % des subventions publiques en éducation de base, financée par une augmentation de l’impôt sur le revenu des ménages et de la taxe de vente, se traduirait non seulement par une augmentation du bien-être mais par une baisse de l’incidence de la pauvreté pour tous les ménages.Modèle EGC, dépenses publiques d'éducation, pauvreté, Burkina Faso

Hydro-Agricultural Development, Integrated Water Resources Management in Climate Variability and Agricultural Migration Context in the Plandi 2 Sub-Watershed of Upper Mouhoun, Burkina Faso

peer reviewedBurkina Faso is characterised by unfavourable hydrological conditions and the population's need for water to increase. In response, the authorities developed a policy of water resource mobilisation to satisfy the requirement of agropastoral and domestic needs. The Hauts-Bassins region benefited from these developments with the transfer of agro-pastoral populations. Natural resources are subject to anthropic pressure, consequences of the transfer of populations and the spontaneous movements attracted by these developments. The objective of this paper is to analyse the field implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the context of pressure on natural resources and climate variability. The methodology combines participatory, spatial and systemic approaches. The sub-watershed shelters a perimeter developed for hydro-agricultural purposes and has received a significant migratory flow of agro-pastoralists looking for "new land" since the 1970s.

L’embouche bovine dans les élevages du Plateau Central du Burkina Faso : Résultats économiques d’une démarche de validation d’un référentiel technico-économique sur la spéculation

La présente démarche de validation du Référentiel technico-économique   d’embouche (RTE), élaboré par l’équipe de recherche de l’Institut de  l’Environnement et de Recherches Agricoles (INERA), a été entreprise auprès de  11 élevages du Plateau Central du Burkina Faso. Elle a consisté à vérifier si les  bases de rentabilité économique des ateliers d’embouche définies par ce document  théorique et qui considèrent le nombre de bovins à emboucher comme facteur clé de cette rentabilité peuvent se confirmer en conditions réelles de pratiques des  acteurs. Le suivi des 11 élevages a permis d’identifier cinq (5) profils de rations  paysannes appliquées par les promoteurs. Les quantités de ces rations dépassaient de loin les capacités d’ingestion des animaux et aucune d’entre elles n’était  équilibrée en termes de rapport MAD/UF. A contrario, ces rations ont été à même  d’impacter positivement les performances pondérales des animaux. Les marges  nettes des ateliers «grandes exploitations» ont été deux fois celles des ateliers  «moyennes exploitations» et six fois celles des ateliers «petites exploitations».  Avec des seuils de rentabilité enregistrés de 4,49 ; 12,57 et 21,38 pour   respectivement les ateliers de 5, 20 et 40 têtes de bovins, l’étude confirme les  bases théoriques de rentabilité économique des ateliers d’embouche du RTE.© 2015 International Formulae Group.

CONTRIBUTION DE LA TECHNOLOGIE DU BIODIGESTEUR A LA DURABILITE DES EXPLOITATIONS AGRICOLES FAMILIALES AU BURKINA FASO

Despite problems related to energy, biomass reduction, grazing degradation, decreased soil fertility, environmental fragility, the biodigester is positioned as a strategy of adaptation and transformation of production systems with the association of agriculture and livestock. The biodigester is an underground construction that uses cow dung or pork excrement mixed with water to produce biogas for cooking and lighting and effluent compost for soil fertilization. The study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the Biodigester technology to agro-ecological sustainability, socio-territorial sustainability and socio-economic sustainability. The study was undertaken in November 2015 in the municipalities of Bobo Dioulasso, Kaya-Barsalgo and Dori. The individual survey was conducted in twenty-four (24) villages on a sample of 166 heads of farms. The results showed the contribution of biodigester technology to agro-ecological, socio-territorial and socio-economic sustainability. Furthermore, land security, the cost of installing the infrastructure, insufficiency or scarcity of cow dung at certain times of the year, lack of water remain the main limits of adoption of the Biodigester technology. The biodigester is an appropriate technology capable of solving the economic, agricultural and energy questions faced by households

Croyances Traditionnelles et Conservation du Crocodylus Suchus Dans les Mares Sacrées de Bazoulé et de Sabou (Burkina Faso)

De janvier 2016 à mai 2017, C. suchus de deux mares sacrées des villages de Bazoulé et de Sabou ont fait l’objet d’un suivi. L’objectif était de mettre en évidence les perceptions et les croyances locales des populations, puis capitaliser les mesures de conservation endogènes. Les attitudes, les croyances et les perceptions locales des populations sur le crocodile ont été étudiées à partir d’une approche ethno-zoologique basée sur des interviews à l’aide d’un questionnaire. Des inventaires diurnes et nocturnes ont été conduits afin de déterminer la structure de la population de crocodiles. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que les croyances traditionnelles jouent un rôle très important dans la protection et la conservation de C. suchus dans les villages de Bazoulé et Sabou. Un total de 268 individus de crocodiles a été dénombré à Bazoulé dont 25% de nouveau-nés ; 17% de juvéniles ; 12% de subadultes et 10% d’adultes. À Sabou sur un total de 249 individus dénombrés, 22% sont des nouveau-nés ; 12% des juvéniles ; 12% des subadultes et 14% des adultes. Malgré les perceptions et les croyances traditionnelles qui assurent une certaine protection des crocodiles dans ces mares, des pressions dues aux activités anthropiques pourraient influencer leur abondance. From January 2016 to May 2017, C. suchus from two sacred ponds in the villages of Bazoule and Sabou were monitored. The objective of this study was to highlight the local perceptions and beliefs of the populations, then capitalize on endogenous conservation measures. The local attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of the population about the crocodile were studied using an ethno-zoological approach based on interviews using a questionnaire. Diurnal and nocturnal inventories have been conducted to determine the crocodile population structure. The results of this study suggest that traditional beliefs play a very important role in the protection and conservation of C. suchus in Bazoule and Sabou villages. A total of 268 crocodile individuals have been counted in Bazoule: 25% of hatchlings; 17% of juveniles; 12% of subadults and 10% of adults. In Sabou out of a total of 249 individuals counted, 22% are hatchlings; 12% juveniles; 12% of sub-adults and 14% of adults. Despite traditional perceptions and beliefs that provide some protection for crocodiles in these ponds, pressures from anthropogenic activities could influence their abundance

Radical-Scavenging activities of total extracts and identification of four anthocyanin isomers from two purple-fleshed varieties of Ipomoea batatas L. produced in Burkina Faso, by hplc-ms/ms

peer reviewedAnthocyanins are bioactive compounds which, due to their free radical scavenging properties, can protect the human body against oxidative stress that can cause many diseases, such as cancer, aging. The Tuskegee purple Cap Vert and Tuskegee purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) varieties are rich in anthocyanins. Indeed, their total anthocyanin contents are estimated at 0.211 and 0.122 mg/g of fresh plant material, respectively. And the antiradical activities of the varieties Tuskegee purple and Tuskegee purple Cap Vert extracts were estimated at 0.06 and 0.05 mg/mL respectively. The identification of anthocyanins in the extracts of the two sweet potato varieties was performed by HPLC-MS-UV, and HPLC-MS/MS analyses. Four anthocyanin isomers were identified in Tuskegee purple Cap Vert variety. These are : cyanidin 3-sophoroside-5-glucoside ; peonidin 3-sophoroside-5-glucoside ; cyanidin 3-laminaribioside-5-glucoside ; peonidin 3- laminaribioside-5-glucoside.3. Good health and well-being12.

Why oral antiseptic mouth rinsing before sputum collection cannot reduce contamination rate of mycobacterial culture in Burkina-Faso

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis by culture in most resource-limited settings is hampered by high contamination rate varying up to 31%. Reduction of oral microorganism loads by mouth rinse with antiseptic before sputum collection showed a reduction of contamination. Moreover, knowing the characteristic of residual contaminant microorganisms would be an asset to understand contamination issues. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mouth rinsing with chlorhexidine on mycobacteria culture contaminations and to characterize morphologically the residual contaminants. Methods: We consecutively included 158 patients in a TB center. Each of them supplied two sputa: The first before mouth rinse, and the second after 60sec of mouth rinsing with chlorhexidine (0.1%). Petroff method and Lowenstein-Jensen media were used for sputum decontamination and inoculation respectively. The contamination rates were compared, and the type of residual contaminants were characterized and compared. Results: The contamination rate did not differ before and after the mouth rinse (respectively 58/150 (39 %) vs 61/150 (41 %), p=0.7). The major residual contaminants were Gram positive spore forming bacteria (94%). Conclusion: Chlorhexidine mouth rinsing before sputum collection did not reduce mycobacterial culture contamination rate. This is probably due to spore forming bacteria, highlighted as major residual contaminants.

Prostate cancer outcome in Burkina Faso

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>African-American black men race is one of non-modifiable risk factors confirmed for prostate cancer. Many studies have been done in USA among African- American population to evaluate prostate cancer disparities. Compared to the USA very few data are available for prostate cancer in Sub-Saharan African countries. The objective of this study was to describe incident prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis characteristics in Burkina Faso (West Africa).</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We performed a prospective non randomized patient’s cohort study of new prostate cancer cases diagnosed by histological analysis of transrectal prostate biopsies in Burkina Faso. Study participants included 166 patients recruited at the urology division of the university hospital of Ouagadougou. Age of the patients, clinical symptoms, digital rectal examination (DRE) result, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, histological characteristics and TNM classification were taking in account in this study.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>166 transrectal prostate biopsies (TRPB) were performed based on high PSA level or abnormal DRE. The prostate cancer rate on those TRPB was 63, 8 % (n=106). The mean age of the patients was 71, 5 years (52 to 86). Urinary retention was the first clinical patterns of reference in our institution (55, 7 %, n = 59). Most patients, 56, 6 % (n = 60) had a serum PSA level over than 100 ng/ml. All the patients had adenocarcinoma on histological study of prostate biopsy cores. The majority of cases (54, 7 % n = 58) had Gleason score equal or higher than 7.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Prostate cancer is diagnosed at later stages in our country. Very high serum PSA level and poorly differentiated tumors are the two major characteristics of PC at the time of diagnosis.</p
