Revitalizing Tradition in Dandaji, Niger: A Mosque and Library for Community Life
No full textIn Dandaji, Niger, the mosque and library designed by Mariam Issoufou and Yasaman Esmaili address the dual challenge of preserving vernacular heritage and providing new community amenities. The original adobe mosque, insufficient for current needs, was conserved and adapted into a library, while a new mosque accommodating 1,000 worshippers was constructed alongside it. This undertaking demonstrates how traditional knowledge and locally available resources can be combined with contemporary methods to ensure continuity of building culture. The process encouraged community involvement and enabled the transmission of building expertise across generations. Today, the mosque and library operate as a civic ensemble integrating religious, educational, and social functions, reinforcing the village’s cultural identity and social fabric.En Dandaji, Níger, la mezquita y la biblioteca diseñadas por Mariam Issoufou y Yasaman Esmaili abordan el doble desafío de preservar el patrimonio vernáculo y proporcionar nuevos espacios comunitarios. La antigua mezquita de adobe, insuficiente para las necesidades actuales, fue conservada y adaptada como biblioteca, mientras que junto a ella se construyó una nueva mezquita con capacidad para mil fieles. Este proyecto demuestra cómo el conocimiento constructivo tradicional y los recursos locales pueden combinarse con métodos contemporáneos para asegurar la continuidad de una cultura constructiva. El proceso fomentó la participación de la comunidad y permitió la transmisión intergeneracional de saberes constructivos. Hoy, la mezquita y la biblioteca funcionan como un conjunto cívico que integra funciones religiosas, educativas y sociales, lo que refuerza la identidad cultural y el tejido social del pueblo

Quantization of integrable and chaotic three-particle Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou models
No full textWe study the transition from integrability to chaos for the three-particle
Fermi-Pasta-Ulam- Tsingou (FPUT) model. We can show that both the quartic
b-FPUT model ( = 0) and the cubic one ( = 0) are integrable by
introducing an appropriate Fourier representation to express the nonlinear
terms of the Hamiltonian. For generic values of and , the model
is non-integrable and displays a mixed phase space with both chaotic and
regular trajectories. In the classical case, chaos is diagnosed by the
investigation of Poincar\'e sections. In the quantum case, the level spacing
statistics in the energy basis belongs to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble in
the chaotic regime, and crosses over to Poissonian behavior in the
quasi-integrable low-energy limit. In the chaotic part of the spectrum, two
generic observables obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.Comment: accepted for publication in Entropy (MDPI) in the special issue on

On The Expression Of Terrorism In Moore: Analysis Of Neologisms
No full textAbstract: This study deals with the lexicon of terrorism in Moore, a Gur language spoken in Burkina Faso, West Africa. This country has experienced recurrent terrorist attacks since 2015. As part of the fight against this scourge, communication in Moore encounters certain difficulties when it comes to naming new concepts. The aim of this study is to examine the processes used in lexical creation to express the concept of terrorism in this language. Based on documentary research and interviews with media professionals, the analysis reveals that the names proposed for terrorism in Moore are compound words. Among these constructed words, the most productive are exocentric compounds, in this case lexicalized phrases. These are processes of semantic innovation, which are manifested in naming by description.
Keywords: terrorism, neologism, compound, Moore
Vowel Length in Kasim, Samoma and Birifor
No full textAbstract: In a comparative approach, this article reports on the status of vowel length in Kasim, Samoma and Birifor. The purpose of this study is to highlight the similarities and differences that exist between these three languages regarding vowel quantity. Using a qualitative approach, the analysis was based on a corpus drawn largely from data from Bonvini (1974), Kedrebeogo (1989) and Tirogo (2018). Following the theory developed by Prieto (1954), the study reveals that vowel length in these three languages has no phonemic status. It receives a biphonematic interpretation. The vowel quantity is a combinatorial fact. It is a relevant contrastive and not oppositional trait. Based on observed facts, the CVV sequence in all three languages has two syllables. Each of the vowels in this sequence constitutes the nucleus of a syllable, the second having an empty attack.
Keywords: vowel length, relevant feature, Kasim, Samoma, Birifor.
LA LONGUEUR VOCALIQUE EN KASIM, EN SAMOMA ET EN BIRIFOR
Résumé : Dans une approche comparatiste, cet article rend compte du statut de la longueur vocalique en kasim, sàmòmá et birifor. L’objet de cette étude est de mettre en exergue les similitudes et les différences qui existent entre ces trois langues au sujet de la quantité vocalique. A partir d’une démarche qualitative, l’analyse s’est appuyée d’un corpus tiré en grande partie des données de Bonvini (1974), Kédrébéogo (1989) et de Tirogo (2018). En s’inscrivant dans la théorie développée par Prieto (1954), l’étude révèle que la longueur vocalique dans ces trois langues n’a pas de statut phonématique. Elle reçoit une interprétation biphonématique. La quantité vocalique relève d’un fait combinatoire. Elle est un trait pertinent contrastif et non oppositionnel. Sur la base des faits observés, la séquence CVV dans les trois langues comporte deux syllabes. Chacune des voyelles de cette séquence constitue le noyau d’une syllabe, la deuxième étant à attaque vide.
Mots clés : Longueur vocalique, trait pertinent, kasim, sàmòmá, birifor
