Sextortion and corruption
Doris Aja-Eke, Robert Gillanders, Idrissa Ouedraogo & Windkouni Haoua Eugenie Maiga
We show that the standard economic and institutional factors that predict corruption do not significantly correlate with the share of people who have either experienced sextortion (sexualized forms of corruption) personally or know someone who has. However, sextortion is more common in more corrupt countries. Although the perception that sexto(...)

Effect of renewable energy consumption on environmental quality in sub-Saharan African countries: evidence from defactored instrumental variables method
Souleymane Diallo
Purpose
Sub-Saharan Africa is a region that is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Renewable energy consumption could play a major role in mitigating the effects of climate change by improving environmental quality in the region. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of renewable energy consumption on environmenta(...)

Influence of climatic factors and floristic diversity on the foraging activity of Apis mellifera adansonii
Issaka Wendpanga Kanazoe, Issa Nombré, Sambo Ouédraogo, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Nicolas J. Vereecken
Abstract The foraging activities of pollinators depend on a variety of factors, such as the availability of pollen and nectar resources or the seasonality. We performed measurements on the activity patterns of Apis mellifera adansonii Latreille by focusing on different factors: (i) we counted the number of bees entering the hives during 10 min(...)

Finite element approximation for linear elliptic equation with L1-data
Yibour Corentin BASSONON, Arouna OUEDRAOGO
In this paper, we consider, in dimension d ≥ 2, the P1 finite elements approximation of the linear elliptic equation which generalizes Laplace’s
equation. When the right-hand side belongs to L1(Ω), we prove that the unique
solution of the discrete problem converges in L1(Ω) to the unique renormalized
solution of the problem.
