ABSTRACT Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) have become an important community-based mechanism for poverty reduction in rural Benin. Despite the withdrawal of technical and financial partners, the expansion of formal microfinance institutions, and microfinance regulati...

TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING AND ORAL COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT: A BENIN EMPIRICAL STUDY WITH ADVANCED EFL LEARNERS

The development of oral communication remains one of the most challenging aspects of EFL learning, especially for advanced secondary school learners who possess knowledge of English but struggle to communicate effectively in real situations. This study examined the effectiveness...

CFD Simulation via User-Defined Functions and Resizing of a Solar Dryer for Processing 25 kg of Pineapple

This article presents an optimization and numerical simulation (CFD) study of an indirect solar dryer designed for pineapple drying, aiming to reduce critical post-harvest losses in West Africa, particularly in Benin. Unlike many previous studies that are often limited to modelin...

Seed viability, germination, and seedling growth of Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth. to provenance and storage duration

Variations of climate conditions challenge germination of Kigelia africana seeds and growth across its distribution range. This study assessed the influence of provenances (with varied climate conditions) and seed storage duration on seed germination and seedling growth across th...

From frameworks to futures: health adaptation pathways across the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

Abstract Effectively managing the rising health risks of climate change requires consideration of plausible adaptation pathways under a range of scenarios of changes in greenhouse gas emissions and socioeconomic development to systematically explore the solution space for climate...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...

Seroprevalence and Factors Associated with Canine Leishmaniasis in Baringo County, Kenya: Implications for an Integrated One Health Surveillance

Leishmaniasis is an emerging zoonotic disease recognized by WHO as a priority neglected tropical disease (NTD) targeted for elimination by 2030. The disease is transmitted through bites of infected female phlebotomine sand flies and presents in three main forms: cutaneous, mucocu...

The Universe Is A Program, Representations Issues (Version I)

The goal of this paper is to Compose new methods and processes. The Universe as a Program is a reprensentation to start composing all of existing and living entities (in the Universe). We argue important representations issues. Many new findings will be presented.

Cataloguing & Referencing Art

In this document, we are creating a collection of objects, such as Internet Hyperlinks, Images, Quotes, etc. This activity is coherent with Mathematics Axiomatic Rules: At the beginning, there was an empty set, and the collection of objects create non-empty sets.

Computing Hardware Request for College or University Degree

They are important Computing Minimum Hardware Specifications to enroll and complete a program in the faculty of arts & science [data science, mathematics, and/or Statistics]. We introduce a short guideline [it is possible to submit a hardware request to some institutions and Jour...

Dietary behaviour of Sepedon (Parasepedon) ruficeps and Sepedon (Sepedomyia) nasuta (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) and the distribution of their snail prey in Benin (West Africa)

Sciomyzidae (Diptera) larvae live as predators and/or parasitoids of snails. They have potential economic importance as biological control agents against gastropods that are vectors of parasitic diseases. In the present study, the use of Sepedon larvae in schistosomiasis control...

Malaria Vectors’ Diversity and Seasonality in Sustaining Disease Transmission in an Endemic Area of Faladie, Mali

The widespread circulation of the Anopheles vector is observed during the rainy season and clearly decreases during the dry season, when only a few mosquitoes are able to survive. This study aimed to identify the major species sustaining continued malaria transmission across seas...

Chemical Composition, Intake, and Digestibility of Native and Improved Perennial Grasses and Crop Residues of Burkina Faso

In Burkina Faso, native and improved forage species and crop residues are widely used as feed resources for ruminant livestock. Accurate information on their chemical composition, digestibility, and voluntary intake is essential for balanced and cost-effective ration formulation....
