There were several differences in the relative importance assigned to the terminal and instrumental values when the two types of ranking were compared. The students assigned more importance to general social and orthodox religious values, to some...

Palaeomagnetic results from 246 sites in the East African Cenozoic volcanics are reported. Palaeomagnetic pole positions are obtained for different age ranges as follows: 0–1.8 My, 104° E, 89° N, A95= 3° (54 sites); 1.8–7.0 My, 148° E, 87° N, A95= 2° (102 sites); around 12 My, 187° E, 87° N, A95= 6° (22 sites); around 17 My, 163° E, 85° N, A95= 2° (62 sites). Apart from the youngest these poles show a far-sided and right-handed tendency which is ascribed to a late Tertiary offset dipole...

Abstract The drought which has recently affected the tropical regions has been remarkably severe and widespread. West Africa has been particularly affected and the consequences in the Sahel zone are dramatic. The drought became perceptible in certain regions in 1965 and the effects have been noticeable in Mauritania, Senegal and the regions north of Mali and the Niger since 1968. In 1970 the drought became more extreme and extended to Upper Volta and Chad, and at many rainfall stations...

Cross-cultural investigation of cognition is an endeavor with its own special problems. Numerous and elusive variables to be controlled, experimental results that are frequently inconclusive or difficult to interpret, the necessity for skills in other disciplines-these are the nemeses of cross-cultural psychological researchers. Yet if psychology is to have a more universally applicable perspective on cognitive functioning than it possesses at the present time, psychologists will need to...

The underlying question which has guided studies of studentprotestmay be formulated as follows: why, given the ostensible purpose of the university as an institution for the pursuit of research, teaching and learning, does it so frequently become the focus of 'oppositional' political activity ?Whyare students, whose defining activity is 'studying', so easily politicized? The thesis of this paper is that the university performs not just a single function but a multiplicity of functions and it...

A review of 462 deaths occurring in a 1-year period from adult medical wards at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital is undertaken. Males are found to outnumber females in the ratio of 2:1. The 25-44 and the 45-64 age groups are found to contain the highest incidence of death. The three main causes of death are found to be strokes, heart diseases and liver diseases. Predisposing factors are discussed. Delay in seeking medical help is thought to contribute in some measure to the overall mortality rate.
