Patterns of molluscan biodiversity and abundance following reservoir creation in Burkina Faso
Idrissa OUEDRAOGO, Yabyouré Marc-Florent SAWADOGO, Salam SANKARA, Noellie W. KPODA and Adama OUEDA
Freshwater molluscs play crucial ecological roles and serve as key bio-indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, yet they can also act as vectors of parasitic diseases. This study assessed the taxonomic diversity, temporal dynamics, and environmental drivers of mollusc communities in a large reservoir in Burkina Faso. A total of 13 species were(...)

Modeling the impact of different wavelengths of sunlight on the performance of a silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell
Latifatou Ouoba, Ramatou Saré, Mamoudou Saria, Idrissa Sourabié, Vinci de Dieu Bokoyo Barandja, Martial Zoungrana and Issa Zerbo
Previous studies have experimentally investigated the impact of filtered sunlight or monochromatic LEDs on PV cell performance. However, theoretical analyses of wavelength-specific effects remain limited. This work addresses this gap using a 1-D model to investigate the impact of different wavelengths of sunlight on the performance of a silico(...)

Electrochemical Behavior of Copper on Unmodified GlassyCarbon in Chloride-Containing Nitric Acid Media
Hamidou Kaboré, Tambi Ramdé, Fousseni Soma, Lucien Bonou
This study has been conducted on the electrochemical behavior of copper in chloride-containing nitric acid media by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry. The results showed that the diffusion process controls the copper reduction process on the glassy carbon. A typical current transient of progressive nucleation and t(...)

COPULAS AND EVALUATION OF RISK MEASUREMENT AND -BASED CAPITAL ALLOCATION IN A CONTEXT OF TAIL DEPENDENCY
Kiswendsida Mahamoudou Ouedraogo, Abdoul Karim Drabo, Delwendé Abdoul-Kabir Kafando, Lassané Sawadogo, S. P. C. Nitiema
In this paper, we construct an extension of Spearman’s copula and evaluate the risk measure TVaR (Tail Value at Risk) and the TVaR-based capital allocation for an insurance portfolio whose risks maintain a tail-dependency relationship via this new copula. Assuming that the portfolio comprises two lines of business whose risks are identically d(...)

Beyond Dystopian Tragedy: Louise O’Neill’s Dystopian Martyrs as Models of Resistance to the Beauty Myth
Djili Soura , André Kaboré, Moussa Kambiré
ABSTRACT
Louise O’Neill’s Only Ever Yours is received as a young adult dystopian novel which, through its
fatalistic depiction of women’s oppression, functions as a cautionary tale about the normative beauty
discourses conveyed by contemporary popular media. Without questioning the effectiveness of the
dystopian tragic scenarios to warn(...)

Stepanov-like-cn-pseudo almost periodic solutions of class r under the light of measure theory
MOHAMADO KIEMA, MICAILOU NAPO AND ISSA ZABSONRE
The aim of this work is to present new concept of Stepanov-Like -Cn-pseudo almost periodic of class r using the measure theory. We use the (μ, ν)-ergodic functions to define the spaces of (μ, ν) Stepanov-Like-Cn-pseudo almost periodic functions of class r. We present many interesting results on those spaces like completeness and composition th(...)
