Migration Crisis in West Africa: Limits and Prospects of Political Regulation by Ivan A. Zakharov, Maksim M. Agafoshin, Stanislav A. Gorokhov

“…At the same time, the ECOWAS migration policy does not contain a sufficient number of specific mechanisms for overcoming migration crises. The lack of financial and human resources in the countries of West Africa determines the high level of involvement of international organizations in the development of the migration policy of ECOWAS. …”

Association between Loa loa microfilaremia and anatomical hyposplenia in a rural area of the Republic of Congo: a population-based cross-sectional study by Charlotte Boullé, Elodie Lebredonchel, Jérémy T. Campillo, Valentin Dupasquier, Marlhand C. Hemilembolo, Sébastien D. S. Pion, Jean Claude Djontu, Ludovic Rancé, Philippe Souteyrand, François Missamou, Michel Boussinesq, Francine Ntoumi, Cédric B. Chesnais

“…Abstract Background Data suggest excess mortality is associated with loiasis, which is endemic to Central Africa, although the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that there could be an association between Loa loa microfilarial densities (MFD) and lower spleen volume (SV) due to micro-obstruction linked to circulating microfilariae (mf). …”

Assessing costs and constraints of forest residue disposal by pile burning by Jake Barker, Jake Barker, Jimmy Voorhis, Sinéad M. Crotty

“…Given the economic, human health, and climate implications of current pile burning practice, removing residues as feedstocks for carbon-negative utilizations is recommended as a near-term priority. Policy mechanisms, such as feedstock production, transport, or offtake subsidies of a similar magnitude to such avoided costs, could efficiently incentivize residue removal and support such climate-positive utilizations.…”
