DE L’INTENSITE Á L’EXTENSITE DANS REINE OR DE FATOU SY
Alidieta DRABO
C’est une évolution de la sémiotique des passions. Cependant,
étant moderne de la sémiotique narrative, elle évalue la tension
intra-textuelle en insistant sur ses effets de sens. La tensivité, se
fondant sur l’intensité et l’extensité, mesure et dénombre la
tonicité, le rythme spatio-temporel. L’étude porte sur la pièce de

Copulas approach for modeling the stochastic dependence of three physicochemical components of groundwater in the province of Sissili (Burkina Faso)
Fabrice Ouoba ; Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara ; Sibiri Narcisse Dolemweogo and Diakarya Barro
This study aims to model the stochastic dependence between potassium (K+), iron (Fe2+), and ammonium (NH+ 4) concentrations in groundwater from the Sissili province in Burkina Faso. To achieve this, we rely on the Student, Frank, and H¨ usler–Reiss copulas to capture the full range of hydro-geochemical dependence structures. This statistical a(...)

A large quantity of by-products is generated by mango processing in Burkina Faso, but they are not widely used. The aim of this study is to characterise the nutritional and bioactive composition of the peels and kernels of six varieties of mango that were processed here. The results show that mango peels contain lower levels of lipids and

Background
Performance-based financing (PBF) is a key health financing reform in many sub-Saharan African countries, with verification being a critical component. Counter-verification, designed to enhance the credibility of verification, remains largely under-documented and under-researched. This study examines the counter-verification activi(...)
