Abstract:
SUMMARYUrban and peri-urban (UPA) cultivation supplies fresh vegetables and employment for the increasing number of urban inhabitants. It is characterized by the use of large nutrient inputs to increase productivity and often associated with negative environmental risks. For these reasons, this study quantified nutrient (nitrogen, N; phosphorus, P; and potassium, K) flows and economic performance of UPA gardening of the three West African cities of Kano, Nigeria; Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso; Sikasso, Mali, during a 2-year period using theMonitoring forQualityImprovement (MonQI) toolbox considering inflows and outflows sources. Average annual N, P and K balances were positive for all gardens in the three cities with N balances of 279, 1127 and 74 kg N ha−1in Kano, Bobo Dioulasso and Sikasso, respectively, except for annual K deficits of 222 and 187 kg K ha−1in Kano and Sikasso, respectively. Nitrogen use efficiencies were 63%, 51% and 87% in Kano, Bobo Dioulasso and Sikasso, respectively, with poor P use efficiencies due to excess application in all three cities. However, a high K efficiency was observed in Bobo Dioulasso (87%) while applications of K were lower than required in Kano and Sikasso with efficiencies of 121% and 110%, indicating possible K mining. The average annual gross margins from gardening indicated a statistically higher (p< 0.05) return of US$3.83 m−2in Bobo Dioulasso than returns obtained in Kano (US$0.92 m−2) and Sikasso (US$1.37 m−2). Although an economically vibrant activity, intensive UPA vegetable production needs to be reviewed for strategic planning towards improving N and P use efficiencies in order to maintain its productivity as well as safeguard the environment. Appropriate K fertilization is necessary to avoid long term K depletion in Kano and Sikasso UPA gardening.

Abstract:
Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al. causes bacterial wilt worldwide on a wide range of plant species. In Mali, the disease is commonly found on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. esculentum L.), pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Determination of race and biovar is critical for development of potato seed certification programs for management of the disease. Isolates (25) of R. solanacearum were obtained from wilting potato, pepper, eggplant, tobacco, and tomato plants collected from fields near Baguineda, Sonityeni, Sotuba, Sikasso, and Kolikoro. Isolations were made from bacterial streaming by dilution plating on triphenyl tetrazolium chloride medium (TZC) (2). Characteristic colonies were selected and identified by ELISA or Immunostrips (Pathoscreen Rs, Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). These isolates were used in host range studies and hypersensitivity (HR) tests on tobacco (cv. xanthi) (3) and tested for their ability to produce acids on Ayers basal media amended with disaccharide and hexose alcohol carbon sources (1). These isolates caused characteristic wilt 40 days postinoculation on greenhouse-grown tobacco (cv. Xanthi), peanut (cv. 4610), and tomato (cv. Roma VF) plants when stems of five plants of each host were syringe inoculated with 0.1 ml of a 1 × 109 CFU/ml of bacteria. Plants inoculated with sterile distilled water remained symptomless and R. solanacearum was reisolated from infected plants on TZC and identified with Immunostrips. All HR tests were negative. Infection of peanut, tobacco, and tomato and the results of the HR tests indicated that all isolates were Race 1 and no significant variation was noted between isolates. Acid was produced from the hexose alcohols: mannitol, sorbitol, and dulcitol; and the disaccharides: cellobiose, lactose, and maltose. This indicated that all isolates were biovar 3, the same as a known Race 1 strain from tobacco (MSU Plant Pathology teaching collection) (1). To assess relative distribution of R. solanacearum, 20 soil samples collected from potato fields in the vicinity of Baguineda, Kati, Koulikoro, and Sikasso were placed in pots (30 × 25 cm) under shade cloth at the IER Station in Sotuba and planted with 30-day-old tobacco plants. After 90 days, infected plants (35 to 100% infection) were found in all soils. Infected plants exhibited classical wilt symptoms and tested positive for R. solanacearum infections as confirmed by Immunostrip tests. Six of nine surface water samples taken near potato fields in Baguineda, Sikasso, Mopti, and Koulikoro tested positive for the presence of R. solanacearum by an Agdia Inc. enrichment kit and ELISA. A weed, Commelina forskalaei (Vahl), collected by Farako creek near Sikasso tested positive in the Immunostrip test even though no symptoms were obvious. No attempt was made to characterize the race, biovar, or phylotype of the soil, water, and weed isolates. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the race and biovar of R. solanacearum from Mali has been reported and the wide distribution of this pathogen in Malian soils and surface water has been demonstrated. It is significant that we did not detect Race 3 biovar 2, which is subject to quarantine and biosecurity regulations. References: (1) A. C. Hayward. J. Bacteriol. 27:265, 1964. (2) A. Kelman.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES Adverse events during antiretroviral treatment are frequent and various. Their diagnosis incurs some various difficulties according to the geographic context. Our aim was to describe the frequency, nature, and preventability of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) due to antiretroviral treatment in Malian outpatient children. METHODS The study was a 6-month (June 1 to November 30, 2010) prospective, observational study of 92 children admitted to a pediatric hospital in Sikasso, Mali. The patients were treated with a generic drug and/or drug combinations. Prior to treatment initiation, demographic characteristics, clinical history, and biologic parameters, including CD4 cell counts, were collected for each patient. The World Health Organization's adverse drug reactions classification was used to characterize the side effects. Adverse effects and toxicities were graded 1, 2, and 3. Analysis of data was performed using SPSS Version 17.0 software. RESULTS Ninety-two human immunodeficiency virus–infected children met the criteria of inclusion. After 24 weeks of treatment, we observed that 14.1% of children had at least one side effect during our study. Side effects were many and varied, with the most frequent being cutaneous rash, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (38.5%, 23.1%, 15.4%, and 15.4%, respectively). Side effects were grade 1 in most cases. One case of grade 2 and one case of grade 3 were observed with rash. We observed one case of grade 3 side effects during our study. The treatment regimen was changed in 15.2% of cases, including one case because of side effects. CONCLUSION ADRs are not rare in Mali, particularly in children. These ADRs have an impact on quality of life for patients. We recommend a pharmacovigilance system for sustainable management of side effects in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus in Mali.

Cette thèse intitulée "Le défi démocratique et la décentralisation face à la société et à la culture Snufo : réarticulation des pouvoirs dans cinq communes rurales du cercle de Sikasso - Mali" se divise en trois parties. La première partie rapplle l'histoire du peuplement et analyse l'organisation soci-culturelle et l'évolution des systèmes de pouvoir de la zone de recherche. La seconde partie, est consacrée à l'avènement de la démocratie et à la mise en place de la décentralisation (découpages communaux, choix des chefs-lieux de communes, constitution des listes électorales et élections). Elle comporte une analyse des rapports entre aînés et cadets, entre logiques politiques et logiques locales. La troisième partie, examine "les communes à l'épreuve d'une pratique démocratique". Elle analyse les relations entre les acteurs de différents niveaux (maires/bureau et conseil communal/personnel d'appui/instances villageoises/services administratifs/instances politiques) et examine les différents secteurs d'exercice communal. Une analyse est consacrée au lien entre décentralisation et foncier où les stratégies foncières restent largement dominées par les chefferis villageoises
This thesis, entitled "Senufo society and culture faced with democratic challenge and the decentralisation policy : the redistribution of powers in the rural communes in the Sikasso (Mali) cercle [county]" is divided into three parts. The first part traces the history of settlement and analyses the socio-cultural organisation and development of the various systems of power in the region. The second part deals with the advent of democracy and the implementation of decentralisation (communal division, choise of county towns, production of electoral lists and organisation of elections. It includes an analysis of relationship between younger and elder people, and between political local reasoning. The third part examines "the communes put to the test of democratic practice". It analyses the relationship between actors at various levels (mayors/bureau and communal council/support staff/village bodies/administration/political bodies) and looks intothe various sectors of communal intervention. An analysis of the connection between decentralisation and land use will show that land strategies remain largely dominated by village chiefdoms

Abstract:
La recherche porte d'une part sur le rôle des villes secondaires dans le développement territorial d'un pays africain pauvre, d'autre part sur la question foncière qui confronte des logiques institutionnelles nationales et des pratiques citadines locales. La première partie analyse les déformations en chaine des règles domaniales normatives : de l'état aux communes méridionales, la faiblesse des moyens budgétaires apparait à chaque niveau de production des lotissements résidentiels. La seconde partie décrit les marchés fonciers. Les sélections des offres en terrains urbains soulignent les stratifications sociales des villes. Les valorisations marchandes et immobilières de ces lots montrent d'étroites relations entre les rentes spéculatives et les ambitions patrimoniales du marché foncier. La troisième partie confronte ces différentes pressions au travers de filières professionnelles et migratoires d'insertion citadine. La famille et la durée de résidence déterminent des solvabilités sociales qui contournent ou consolident les solvabilités économiques. La quatrième partie envisage les implications historiques des conflits citadins autour de la terre. De nouvelles relations clientélistes s'établissent entre les communes locales et l'état. La conclusion nuance l'effet de taille des agglomérations urbaines dans la promotion résidentielle. Dans une comparaison géographique plus large, les liens entre rentes et patrimoines demandent de nouvelles recherches sur les concurrences économiques, sociales et politiques qui se déploient dans la société malienne
The investigations deal with the part of secondary towns in the territorial development of a west-African underdeveloped country on the one hand, and with the land question which confronts national institutional logics and local urban practices on the other hand. The first part analyses the deformations of normative domanial regulations : from the state to the southern communes, poor budgetary means are appearing at every levels of production of urban plots. The second part concerns the land markets. The selective offer of urban plots underlines the social stratifications in town. Market and property valorizations of these plots show close relations between speculative rents and patrimonial pressures on the land market. The third part confronts these different ambitions through occupational and migratory ways of town insertion. The family and the duration of residence determine social solvencies which bypass or consolidate economic solvencies. The fourth part considers historical implications of urban conflicts about land. New personal relationships develop between local communes and the state of Mali. The conclusion qualifies sizing effects between towns in the land and property market. Taken in a largest geographical comparison, the links between rents and patrimonies request new investigations about economic, social and political competitions which are spreading in Malian society

Abstract:
Les sociétés rurales du sud du Mali évoluent entre quatre "mondes": les villages, l'Etat, le coton et le développement. Cette thèse synthétise deux ans de recherches de terrain en anthropologie des pouvoirs et du développement, au moment où le pays entrait dans une vaste réforme de décentralisation. A partir d'enquêtes sur un échantillon de multiples villages et d'acteurs aux niveaux régional et national, j'analyse ces mondes sous l'angle de leurs interactions et des configurations de pouvoirs qui en découlent au niveau local. Les villages s'organisent autour de pôles de pouvoir empilés fondés sur un ensemble de légitimités coutumières et nouvelles. A l'interface des stratégies d'intervention et de ces dynamiques locales naissent, ici et là, des formes d'équilibrages et des contradictions qui, à l'heure de la décentralisation, révèlent toute la richesse sociologique, la complexité et les enjeux actuels des paysans de la région de Sikasso et des sociétés rurales du Mali
Rural societies of South Mali move between four "worlds": villages, state, cotton economy and development. This thesis synthesizes two years of field research in anthropology of politics and development, when the country entered into a wide decentralization reform. On the basis of investigations on a sample of various villages and social actors at the regional and national levels, I analyse these worlds focusing on their interactions and the configurations of powers occurring at the local level. Villages are organized around multiple stacked poles founded on a set of customary and new legitimacies. At the interface of the intervention strategies and these local dynamics are appearing, here and there, forms of balancings and discrepancies that reveal, at the time of decentralization reform, all the sociological worth, complexity and actual stakes of the Sikasso region's peasants and rural societies of Mali

Abstract:
Le Mali étant un pays sans accès maritime et majoritairement musulman, l'exposition au SIDA peut paraître moindre ; mais la proximité de la Côte d'Ivoire présente un réel danger. Avec une séroprévalence de 1,7% en 2001, le Mali se classe parmi les pays faiblement atteints, même si certains facteurs (la polygamie, la mobilité de la population, les comportements sexuels des jeunes. . . ) favorisent la progression de l'épidémie. Depuis 2004, au Mali, les ARV sont gratuits. Cependant, se pose toujours le problème de leur accessibilité géographique. Jusqu'à la fin des années 1990, la centralisation des centres spécialisés dans la prise en charge des personnes infectées et des traitements antirétroviraux, sur la capitale, a entraîné de nombreux déséquilibres au niveau de la gestion de la maladie. Depuis les années 2000, plusieurs centres de prise en charge des séropositifs/sidéens ont été créés dans différentes capitales régionales marquant une volonté de l'État de décentraliser la prise en charge et favoriser l'accès aux traitements spécifiques à la population malade. Il n'en reste pas moins que ces structures demeurent hors de portée de la population villageoise sous informée au problème du SIDA
As Mali is a country with no access to the sea and mainly muslin, the exposure to AIDS could seem slight, but its proximity to the Ivory Coast, the major West African Crossroad, represents a real danger. With a seroprevalence of 1,7% in 2001, Mali is ranked amongst the countries which are slightly affected by the virus, even if certain factors (poligamy, the important mobility of the Malian population, the sexual behaviour of the young people. . . ) favour the progression of the epidemic. Since 2004, in Mali, the ARV have been free. However, the problem of their geographical accessibility still remains. Until the late nineties, the centralization in the capital of centers specialized in the reception and the welfare of infected people and antiretrovirus treatment, as lead to a great imbalance concerning the dealing of the illeness on a national scale. Since the early 2000's, several PVVIH welfare centers have been created in different regional capitals thus indicating the State's to decentralize the welfare care and favour the access of specific treatments to the whole population. Nevertheless, these structures remain completely out of reach for the majority of village populations, all too often uninformed about the HIV/AIDS problrm

Abstract:
La commercialisation du lait peut jouer un rôle central dans les changements au sein des unités de production : 1) sur les techniques de la production laitière et 2) sur la gestion de la recette du lait. La recherche repose sur des enjeux de développement et des enjeux scientifiques. L'objectif global de la thèse est d'évaluer l'impact de la commercialisation du lait sur les pratiques et les stratégies des éleveurs et d'apprécier son rôle dans les processus de changements socio-techniques dans les systèmes de production laitière en zone péri-urbaine de Sikasso au Mali. L'objectif de recherche est de contribuer aux recherches en zootechniesystème sur le développement de l'élevage en général et de l'élevage péri-urbain en particulier. Pour cela, nombre de connaissances a été mobilisé et des méthodes développées pour analyser dans le temps long les changements et évaluer dans le temps rond les performances des unités de production. Une méthodologie spécifique a été élaboré, elle articule trois groupes de méthodes : (i) des enquêtes pour un diagnostic systémique de la production laitière, (ii) des enquêtes rétrospectives pour l'analyse des changements sur le temps long et incluant l'échelle territoriale, (iii) des suivis technico-économiques sur un an. Cinq stratégies de production laitières ont été distinguées : 1) Faible prélèvement de lait, 2) Intérêt sur le lait avec gestion du pâturage, 3) Intérêt sur le lait avec achat de compléments, 4) Forte production de lait avec des vaches croisées et distribution de concentrés et 5) Forte production laitière avec stabulation permanente de vaches croisées. Un modèle de fonctionnement technico-économique a également été construit. Les éleveurs ont fait évoluer leurs pratiques et développer des stratégies pour produire et commercialiser plus de lait et profiter de l'opportunité offerte par le marché de consommateurs urbains.

Abstract:
This study evaluates how future climatic projections will affect the suitability of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean(L) Verdc.), a type of underutilised crop in Sikasso and Ségou, southern Mali. This study was performed using a simulation approach, which considered the potential changes in suitability due to projected changes in two climate variables; temperature and precipitation. Monthly outputs of the two climate variables from 10 CORDEX bias-corrected regional projections under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 were applied. The suitability index range of bambara groundnut was projected, using the Ecocrop suitability model, considering three time periods: historical (1975-2005), near-term (2011-2040), and end of century (2070-2099). The results of this study showed that the model captured a long planting window for the crop in the regions across the time periods. With the projected increase in future climatic conditions, the suitability index range of bambara groundnut is projected to increase across the months suitable for planting the crop. Furthermore, Sikasso is projected to maintain a high suitability index in the near-term, and by the end of century, Ségou is expected to experience a potential increase in suitability index range and suitable areas, especially by the end of century. The results indicate that the CORDEX projections and suitability modelling technique applied in the study captured well the suitability of bambara groundnut in the regions which can help the farmers in making planting decisions. These results suggest an opportunity for optimal utilisation of the crop in the regions, as with a long planting window and expansion in suitable areas, farmers in the regions can plant multiple times and have more suitable areas to cultivate. This study contributes to improving the decision-making surrounding the promotion of underutilised crops as part of the strategy for climate-resilient agriculture and food security in Sikasso and Ségou.

Mali is a landlocked country found in West Africa. Mali borders Algeria, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. It is the eighth largest country in Africa with a population of nearly 18 million people as recorded in 2016. Only 10 per cent of the population live in the north, which represents nearly two-thirds of the country. While rich in minerals and oil, the north of Mali is desertified and suffers from chronic instability. The vast majority of people in Mali live in the southern region close to the Niger and Senegal rivers and far from the Sahara Desert. Rural areas account for 59 per cent of the population. The capital city is Bamako which is the only town in Mali with more than 1 million inhabitants and is the main commercial and industrial centre in the country. The second biggest city in terms of population is Sikasso with approximately 130,000 inhabitants.
