A PREDICTION OF SOME POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THERMAL POLLUTION ON MARINE ORGANISMS ON THE WEST COAST OF SOUTH AFRICA, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ROCK LOBSTER,JASUS LALANDII - Cook, Peter (Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, 1978)
Summary The nuclear power station, which ESCOM proposes to build on the coast near Cape Town, will be cooled by sea water and will cause the temperature of the water in the immediate vicinity of its outfall to be increased by about 6°C. Experiments were conducted in an attempt to predict the biological effects of the increased temperature. Particular attention was paid to those organisms, such as kelp and mussels, which dominate the local kelp-bed ecosystem and to those such as the rock lobster which are of particular commercial importance. The effects of increased temperature on such parameters as growth rate, fecundity and spawning period were examined, and it was concluded that in many cases the higher temperature would be detrimental. Some of the possible over-all effects on the entire kelp-bed ecosystem are discussed.

Influence of Carbonate Dissolution, Climate, Sea-Level Changes and Volcanism on Neogene Sediments off Northwest Africa (Leg 41) - Diester-Haass, Lieselotte (1978)
A coarse fraction analysis (>40 µm),has been carried out on the Neogene sediments from Sites 366, 367, 368, and 369 of Leg 41, and the percentage composition of the coarse fractions is given.Influence of calcium carbonate dissolution, shown by the degree of fragmentation of planktonic foraminifers and by plankton/benthos ratios of foraminifers, reveals parallel variations at Sites 366 and 369, with a maximum of dissolution in the upper middle Miocene and a minimum in the Plio-Pleistocene sections.Description of Neogene climatic variations is based on the amount of terrigenous material and desert quartz numbers in the fracions >40 µm of Site 369.Early and middle Miocene climate in the Sahara at the latitude of Site 369 has been arid.From late Miocene to Pleistocene, climate has been similar to that during late Quaternary, with alternations of arid climate and more humid climate with greater rainfall and river supply.Sea level was probably considerably lower than today during the early Miocene and perhaps during a short period of the late Miocene.Volcanic glass and ash layers in Site 369 can be correlated with known phases of volcanic activity on the Canary Islands.

Sex education in traditional life in Black Africa. - Erny, Pierre (PubMed, 1978)
The effort is made to describe what sex education may have represented in traditional African life in order to shed some light on the present context. Focus in the discussion is on the ideological and social background, the transmission of knowledge, the shaping of attitudes and behavior, and ritual initiations – circumcision, excision, and symbolism and emotional life. When traditional education is viewed with modern eyes, it encompasses some areas which might not have been imagined. These provide an understanding of how many populations continue to visualize their educational role with regard to sexuality. It explains their reactions and promotes the realization of how dangerous it can be to imagine methods and contents of education that would be appropriate everywhere. Educators who are strangers to a given milieu must not transpose its problems in a way which will be fundamentally foreign to that milieu. Any educational effort in the field of sex education should be preceded by an investigation in order to determine how a given population envisions, experiences and verbalizes its sexuality; in what social and mental structures it is shaped; and what educational interventions already exist.

Rapid operant training of guinea pigs with lettuce as the appetitive reinforcer - Harder, David B.; Brock, O. Greg; Rashotte, Michael E. (Behavior Research Methods, 1978)
The traditional view of the guinea pig as difficult to train (e.g., Roberts, 1972) has been altered by de~?n strations that this species is adept in operant training when correct combinations of deprivation, training environment, and reinforcer are used (Berryman, 1976; Gundy, 1959; Jonson, Lyle, Edwards, & Penny, 19~5; Petersen, Prosen, Moody, & Stebbins, 1977; Valenstein, 1959' Walloch & Taylor-Spikes, 1976). Preliminary to employing the conditioned suppression procedure with guinea pigs, we sought a reliable and ~~ick me~hod for establishing a stable baseline of appetitively remforce? leverpressing. Valenstein (1959) demonstrated conditioned suppression in deprived guinea pigs, but the deprivation and training procedures for establishing the operant baseline in that experiment, and in most of .the others cited above, were sufficiently complex and time consuming that we sought a simplified procedure. F~il ing to confirm a report that carrot juice is an effective reinforcer for nondeprived guinea pigs (Gundy, 1959), we subsequently encountered difficulty in achieving stable responding when plain or sweetened water was used as a reinforcer for water-deprived guinea pigs.This impasse was resolved when we utilized the well-known fact that guinea pigs have a strong affinity for fresh lettuce (e.g., Miller & Murray, 1966; Roberts, 1972; Valenstein, 1959). The present paper describes the conditions under which we have found lettuce particularly effective as a reinforcer for establishing leverpressing in guinea pigs not deprived of food or water. Five adult guinea pigs (Cavia parcel/us) purchased from local pet suppliers were individually housed in a temperature/humidity controlled room with a 12-hlight/ I 12-h dark cycle. Purina guinea pig chow and water supplemented with vitamins (Avitron) were available con-

These associations are distinguished on a variation diagram showing the Differentiation Index relative to normative nepheline or to normative quartz plus the silica of normative hypersthene; this diagram serves as the basis for a preferred scheme of volcanic rock nomenclature for arc-trench systems. Rocks of the TLTF group constitute a dominantly alkalic (nepheline-normative) association. In contrast, the MRB and SBS groups do not correspond to any of the associations widely postulated for other circumoceanic regions. Calc-alkalic–type rocks, for example, are found in both associations: in the MRB group they form compositional continua with shoshonitic rocks, and in the SBS group they form continua with tholeiitic ones. We suggest that circumoceanic rocks should not be classified into these artificial, world-wide, “standard” associations; a more meaningful method is to identify associations on a regional basis. However, the most useful procedure would be to correlate the same ranges of rock compositions and relative abundances of rock types in individual tectonic provinces with specific geodynamic features or source-region compositions. These correlations may lead to the recognition of natural rock associations on a world-wide basis. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.

The Political Socialization of Adolescents in Contemporary Africa: The Role of the School in Kenya - Keller, Edmond J. (Comparative politics, 1978)
Students of Western societies have long been concerned with the study of the role of the formal educational environment in the political socialization of the young, but very little attention has been devoted to studying this subject in developing areas. As a result generalizations about this process are, for the most part, only applicable to countries such as the United States and the states of Western Europe.1 Gaps exist in our understanding of the role that schools play in socializing the young to politics in societies undergoing rapid socioeconomic and political change. The present study proposes to make a contribution towards filling these gaps. Employing the case study approach, this article focuses upon the effects of the educational climate of secondary schools upon adolescent political learning in the East African polity of Kenya. Such studies are the building blocks of theories with cross-national implications. Although the secondary school is highly regarded in Kenya primarily for its assumed manpower development function, its political socialization function is considered by policymakers to be of almost equal importance.2 The school is expected to produce hard-working, resourceful, loyal, and responsible young citizens who are cognizant of the significance of their future roles in the development of the country; this in spite of the fact that the school does not engage in systematic and manifest civic training. The official relationship which exists between government-aided schools and the educational bureaucracy is thought by politicians and bureaucrats alike to provide sufficient incentives to insure that the schools are not only aware of the goals and objectives the government has set out for them, but also to encourage them to transmit the appropriate citizenship values naturally through the normal functioning of the school as an educational institution. As one official put it, If

Investigations on the carcinogenic burden by air pollution in man. Intratracheal instillation studies with benzo(a)pyrene in bovine serum albumin in syrian hamsters - Ketkar, M.B.; Reznik, Gerd; Schneider, Peter M.; Möhr, U. (Cancer Letters, 1978)
The chronic effect of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) administered intratracheally in bovine serum albumin was studied in Syrian golden hamsters. Dose levels of 0.1 mg, 0.33 mg and 1.0 mg of B(a)P induced papillomas and carcinomas of the trachea, stem bronchi and bronchioles. In addition to such tumours, the mucosa of the respiratory tract revealed a variety of atypical epithelial alterations. Although survival time exhibited a dose-dependency, tumour incidence did not. The incidence of respiratory tract tumours was higher in female hamsters than in males. The results of these investigations are statistically evaluated.

Education in South Africa: a review - Kirkwood, Kenneth (Oxford Review of Education, 1978)
This is a masterly study, of exceptional range and quality, by a truly remarkable man. words 'masterly' or 'magisterial' are frequently used but seldom merited. In this case they are inadequate. No man other than E. G. Malherbe could have written this profound and penetrating analysis of education in South Africa because no other man has participated more fully in its processes and for over half a century and no other man has been equipped with his extraordinary richness of talents intelligence, courage, humour, simplicity, leadership, dedication. And very few, if any, specialists in education can ever have matched either his thorough technical expertise in his subject or his flair for effective research, and the sensitive application of research findings in educational policy and practice at all levels. Afrikaner of Afrikaners though he is, and is always proud to proclaim himselfand his loyalty is constantly visible throughout this book it is very easy to see why the author was once asked to consider appointment to the most senior office in UNESCO. He would have filled the post with distinction. He is a universal man, appreciative and at ease in citing the thoughts and findings of colleagues in the Soviet Union and the United States, in South Asia and the Arab countries, as well as in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But despite his always responsible honesty and his whole-hearted love of South Africa, it is also very easy to see why the supporters of the Afrikaner-Nationalist government of his country, committed to apartheid, which has now been in power since I948, should view him with such implacable hostility. He sets education in South Africa firmly within its political context, and he pulls no punches over the damaging, even disastrous, effects which narrow, bigoted nationalism has had on education, especially during the past thirty years. In the first two sentences of his first chapter Language and Nationhood, he declares The national aims and ambitions of the country are often better expressed in its educational system than in any other institution. fact is illustrated par excellence in South Africa's educational history, especially in recent times. He also reveals, in convincing fashion, how during the three decades before their close electoral victory in I948 Afrikaner-nationalist leaders of the most intensely narrow persuasion had planned and forged the institutions and methods which enabled them to achieve and to secure their dominance.

The effects of protein supplementation on the growth and skeletal maturation of New Guinean school children - Lampl, Michelle; Johnston, Francis E.; Malcolm, Laurence (Annals of Human Biology, 1978)
SummaryThe response to protein supplementation was studied in 86 Bundi children, aged 7·7 to 13·0 years, in the New Guinea highlands. Group 1 (22 males, 8 females) served as a control and received only their normal school diet, averaging 5440 kJ and 11 g protein per day. Group 2 children (22 males, 8 females) were supplemented with 10 g of protein per day for five days a week and group 3 (18 males, 8 females) received 20 g protein per day. The supplement was skim milk powder and the experiment lasted for eight months. Increments of growth and of skeletal maturation of individuals were analysed, by group, for the eight-month period. Height, weight, skinfold thickness (triceps and subscapular), compact bone breadths of the second metacarpal, and Tanner-Whitehouse bone maturity scores were studied. Supplemented children showed increased growth in height, weight, and periosteal bone breadth, as well as increased increments of skeletal maturation. While unsupplemented children showed increases in skinfold thicknesses, the increments of the supplemented groups did not differ significantly from zero. There were no differences in either the endosteal breadth or the thickness of the compact bone layer of the second metacarpal. Children receiving 20 g of protein displayed consistently greater increments than those receiving 10 g but the differences were significant only in the case of body weight. The relative response of height to protein supplementation was greater than the response of skeletal maturation.

The Oldest Marine Carbonate Ooids Reinterpreted as Volcanic Accretionary Lapilli, Onverwacht Group, South Africa - Lowe, Donald R.; Knauth, L. Paul (Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1978)
ABSTRACT Sand-sized spheroids in the 3.4 billion-year old Onverwacht Group, South Africa, previously interpreted as silicified marine carbonate ooids, were constructed of loose volcanic dust and ash and closely resemble accretionary lapilli found in younger volcanic sequences. They commonly show concentric internal structuring, including a nucleus, a relatively coarse-grained detritus layer made up of recrystallized vitric and crystal grains, and an outer rind of recrystallized fine-grained ash. The outer rind was rigid when the grains were deposited whereas the detritus layer was soft and plastic. Graded lap Jill beds lacking current structures represent air-fall lapilli and ash which accumulated rapidly under shallow water to subaerial conditions. The tops of many units were reworked by curr nts to form flat- and cross-laminated layers. Accretionary lapilli are known from many younger volcanic sequences, but seldom represent more than trace accumulations and are rare as water-deposited grains. Their apparent abundance in Archean terranes in both South Africa and Australia may suggest that the geologic and hydrologic setting of certain Archean volcanic complexes favored the formation and preservation of accretionary lapilli. It may reflect, however, an abnormally wet early atmosphere or the relatively higher rate of outgassing of volatiles through early Precambrian volcanoes.

A study of the written English of some Egyptian students in the University of Alexandria with suggestions for improvement in the teaching of English - Mattar, O. M. S. (1978)
The main purpose behind this study is to provide information that can be utilised in the improvement of the teaching of English to university students in Egypt, especially to those specialising in English in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Education. Written data was collected from approximately 10% of the total number of entrants to all the faculties in the University of Alexandria in October 1974. Further data was collected in October 1975 and October 1976 from the same two groups of students specialising in English in the Faculties of Arts and of Education, in an attempt at a developmental study alongside the afore-mentioned cross-sectional one. The aim of the cross-sectional study is to pinpoint areas of difficulty found in the written language of the university entrant. An attempt is made at finding out if these areas are the same or different in the language of the nonspecialist and the specialist in Stage I of the developmental study. This gives an indication as to the state of the language of the university entrant in general, and whether students who are accepted for specialisation in English are better equipped to do so than the non-specialists. The developmental study will point to errors which tend to persist in the specialist's English at different stages of language acquisition. If errors persist after three years of university English, these will present difficulties for the non-specialist as well. It is hoped that the results of the developmental study will enable teachers and textbook writers to know what to expect, and thus make a better selection and gradation of teaching material at each level, as well as to adjust existing teaching methods to suit the particular nature of the problem areas. The data is analysed for grammatical and lexical deviations from Standard British English. Typical errors are isolated, classified, described and explained. A frequency count is compiled from the figures of the various errors. The basic assumption is that after investigating the causes of the problem encountered by these students, this can give an indication as to the learning problems of Egyptian foreign language learners, the learning processes they employ, and the assumptions they make as regards various English constructions. On this basis suggestions are made toward a better teaching method. The method used for the analysis is that of Error Analysis, with Contrastive Analysis used at the explanatory stage when necessary. Since these students hardly reach a stage of complete free writing at the end of their secondary school, we have limited ourselves to the level of the sentence and its parts. Only in the last stage of the developmental study a note on organisation and style was found necessary. We are here concerned with written language only and the phonological level has been excluded. As in the case of linguistic investigations in general, this study is limited by the fact that it uses a corpus and only one kind of test, that of free production. The outcome of the analysis is proportionate to the amount of information we have about the learners. It is hoped that a sufficiently large number and variety of errors are included, to provide material for a qualitative analysis.

Curricular Interests of a Group of Nigerian Secondary School Students - Obanya, Pai (Journal of Negro Education, 1978)
Interest is an essential factor contributing to success in learning. These days, when learning and teaching are largely regarded as child-centered, studies involving the interest of the learner (the child) are needed to help the task of curriculum planning and evaluation. The problem of interest can be approached in at least two ways: through the selection of learning experiences, and through the selection of content or subject matter. The present study focuses attention on subject matter, the aim being to find out how a group of adolescents see their various school subjects.

ALTHOUGH some education and training of library personnel started in libraries in Nigeria before 1950, the formal library education program was not introduced until 1960. Before 1960 Nigerian trained librarians received their education in Great Britain by taking the Library Association Associateship examinations as external candidates. The first recorded training course in Nigeria was organized by the University College of Ibadan Library for local authority librarians. The admission requirements for the candidate were literacy in English and Middle II (the equivalent of eight years of education). The Unesco Public Library Seminar1 gave impetus to concrete discussions on planning for library development in Africa. The ideas on library education formulated at this seminar have since formed the basis for

Non seulement l'administration coloniale britannique ne s'y intéressait pas, mais encore les missionnaires francophones ou germanophones eux-mêmes enseignaient l'anglais en priorité. En fait, c'est sous la pression du public nigérian lui-même, conscient de l'utilité du français comme langue de communication intra-africaine, que l'enseignement de cette langue s'est maintenu puis développé jusqu'à la création d'un département de langues modernes à l'université d'Ibadan en 1959.

First characteristics of particulate air pollution in yaounde (Cameroon): Intertropical front influence - Pélassy, Pierre (Atmospheric environment, 1978)
A study of the weight concentration of particulate air content was determined at Yaoundé (Cameroon) − 3° 52′N, 11° 32′E — over a complete seasonal cycle starting on 23 November 1974, to 6 December 1975. The distribution of this concentration is log-normal, but shows two populations of definitely different geometric means and similar geometric deviations. The survey of the evolution, in terms of time, of this concentration and of the latitude at which the Intertropical Front crosses the Yaounde meridian reveals the existence of a correlation between these two sizes. Statistically, the plot of concentration vs the latitude of the Intertropical Front of the Yaoundé meridian is shown by an exponential function or a power function. Then, we can come to the conclusion that the existence of these two populations of concentration is connected with the yearly variation in the position of the Intertropical Front.

The Effects of Drought on Human Nutrition in an Ethiopian Province - Seaman, John W.; Holt, John; Rivers, John (International Journal of Epidemiology, 1978)
In mid 1974 the authors conducted a survey of Harerghe Province, Ethiopia in order to verify reports of serious effects of drought six months earlier. Information was obtained on anthropometric nutritional status, mortality, livestock, and market prices from a random sample of 62 villages in four ecological zones — the highlands, the northern and southern rangelands and an intermediate zone of mixed economy. The rangelands and intermediate areas had experienced heavy human and livestock losses during the drought but this had not occurred in the highlands. Although a high prevalence of malnutrition was found in every area studied, the geographical and height distribution of malnutrition within population groups suggested that this could only be clearly attributed to the affects of unusual food shortage in one part of the southern rangelands.

During the 1950s and 1960s, development strategies generally focused on rapid industrialization to generate the income and employment that would carry forward other sectors of the economy. Education, like other sectors, was intended to provide the kinds and numbers of high-level manpower required to staff the public service and the small, but rapidly growing, private sector. The Ashby Commission in Nigeria and the major UNESCO Conferences on Education in Africa held at Addis Ababa and Tananarive reflected the consensus of African governments and international agencies on the need to relate education to high-level manpower requirements.1

Growth, school attendance, and serum albumin levels in South African black children of 10-12 years. - Walker, A R; Bhamjee, D; Walker, B F; Richardson, B D (PubMed, 1978)
Studies on representative series of South African Black schoolchildren aged 10-12 years revealed the following. (1) In the age sex groups, mean proportions lying below the Boston 3rd percentile of weight for age were high (a very common phenomenon), ranging from 20-84 per cent. (2) Of total moieties above and below the 3rd percentile, 96 per cent and 95 per cent had normal weight for height (more than 80 per cent of the 50th percentile of reference standards). (3) Both moieties had equally excellent records of school attendance, 94 per cent and 93 per cent. (4) Mean serum albumin levels, also the proportions having relatively low levels, did not differ significantly, either in the respective subgroups above and below the 3rd percentile, or in groups of pupils accustomed and not accustomed to supplementary school-feeding. Accordingly, it is considered that classification, without qualification, of schoolchildren as malnourished simply because of slower growth compared with western norms is unwarranted.

Thermo-magnetic measurements as a possible tool in the prediction of volcanic activity in the volcanoes of the Rabaul Caldera, Papua New Guinea - Emeleus, T.G. (Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 1977)
Volcano-magnetic effects provide a possible way of monitoring temperature or stress changes within a volcano. A systematic study of several volcanoes in and close to the Rabaul caldera in east New Britain, Papua New Guinea, has been made to identify those in which thermal changes would be expected to cause changes in magnetic field. Two out of nine were chosen as suitable for a programme of magnetic monitoring which commenced in February 1974 and is continued at approximately six monthly intervals. The main criterion used for selection is that the volcano must have a magnetic structure causing a strong anomaly in magnetic field with its source located where its temperature would respond to changing conditions in the volcano. In the first three years of monitoring, no thermomagnetic effects have been observed, but the ongoing programme may be a useful tool in the prediction of volcanic eruption. Estimation of the magnitude of possible field changes depends on determining a satisfactory model of the source of the magnetic anomaly and how the remanent magnetization of the source depends on temperature. The former is a standard problem in geomagnetism and may be solved by computer modelling methods. Measurements of the temperature dependence of thermo-remanent magnetization (TRM) for rocks collected in the Rabaul caldera show the latter to be a much more difficult problem to solve in detail. This is because the temperature range in which TRM changes most rapidly with temperature varies greatly from specimen to specimen, and depends both on the magnetic minerals present and the cooling history of the rock. Rocks from within the anomaly sources were not accessible so doubt remains as to how similar their magnetic properties are to those of rocks collected from the surface. Within this limitation, it is shown that for at least one of the volcanoes studied, changes of total magnetic field of several hundred nanoteslas (1 nT = 1γ) are possible prior to a future eruption.

The Understanding of Pictorial Spatial Relationships by Nigerian Secondary School Students - Nicholson, John; Seddon, G. M. (Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1977)
A specially-designed test was used in three related investigations concerned with the ability of Nigerian secondary-school students to understand depth relationships in pictures. The first investigation demonstrated that the percentage of students unable to achieve the criterion performance decreased significantly from 61.7% for second-year students to 22.5% for fifth-year students. Both groups were significantly poorer in performance than a sample of English third-year students. In the second investigation the understanding of these spatial relationships in diagrams was found to require a prior understanding of the same relationships in the corresponding three-dimensional object. In the third investigation a factor analysis showed that there were factors associated with the understanding of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal displacements, respectively.

Teaching the Understanding of Pictorial Spatial Relationships to Nigerian Secondary School Students - Nicholson, John; Seddon, G. M.; Worsnop, James G. (Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1977)
Two experiments were carried out to compare the effectiveness of different ways of producing the frames in a remedial self-instructional program intended to improve the ability of Nigerian secondary students to understand spatial relationships in pictures. In one experiment with Yoruba students, it was demonstrated that the use of stereoscopic pictures brought about an improvement in performance, whereas planoscopic pictures and models did not. In contrast, a second experiment with Hausa students showed that three programs involving stereoscopic diagrams, planoscopic diagrams, and planoscopic diagrams in conjunction with models, all brought about both short- and long-term improvements. There were no significant short- or long-term differences between the effects of the programs. Neither was there a significant decline in the learning from any program over a period of five months.

HYDROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE DROUGHT EVENT IN NIGERIA-1972/1973 / Des aspects hydrologiques de la sécheresse en Nigérie en 1972/1973 - Sonuga, J. O. (Hydrological sciences bulletin, 1977)
Abstract The drought event which reached severe levels in 1972 and 1973 caused a major disaster in the Sahalian and sub-Sahalian zones in Africa. This disaster has drawn attention to the need for data surveys and detailed studies for meaningful long-term measures to combat the effects of future droughts. The study reported in this paper is an attempt to assess the hydrological aspects of the drought event in Nigeria in 1972 and 1973. There exist relatively long and reliable records of rainfall within the drought zone, while records for runoff, water level and groundwater are few and far between. Data available are analysed to determine evidence of trend and persistence (short and long-term). An examination of the rainfall records showed that extreme dry years at all the stations tended to recur at about the same time. The time interval between these extreme dry years was about 30 years. It was also observed from the spectral analysis of the records that most of the spectra for all the stations showed a generally high level of variance at low frequency. The limited information on runoff and groundwater precludes a detailed statistical analysis from being carried out on the annual series of runoff. However, the runoff data at some stations snowed that the magnitude of runoff in the drought year 1972/1973 was about 22–72 per cent of the average value for the length of record available (about eight years). Moreover, the long-term water-level record of Lake Chad revealed a similar trend for the occurrence of extreme dry years to that observed in the rainfall record.

Geochemistry of calc-alkaline volcanics in northwestern Nigeria, and a possible Pan-African suture zone - McCurry, Patricia; Wright, J. B. (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1977)
Major and trace element characteristics of dacites and rhyolites overlying and intruding basement rocks in northwestern Nigeria most closely resemble those of intracontinental orogenic volcanic associations. REE patterns point to a deep-seated source for the magmas, perhaps involving garnet fractionation at mantle depths and low-pressure plagioclase fractionation. The occurrence of calc-alkaline volcanics, small basic-ultrabasic complexes and major transcurrent faulting, is consistent with the presence of a Pan-African suture zone in northwestern Nigeria.

Upper proterozoic volcanic graywackes from northwestern Hoggar (Algeria) — geology and geochemistry - Caby, Renaud; Dostál, J.; Dupuy, C. (Precambrian Research, 1977)
Late-Proterozoic volcanic graywackes from the NW Hoggar (Algeria) have been investigated from geological and petrological points of view. Thirty-five samples have been analysed for major elements and the following trace elements: Li, Rb, Sr, Ba, Ni, Co, Cr, V, Zn, Cu. These graywackes constitutes a thick flysch-like formation deposited in a marine environment. They are composed of volcanic (mainly andesites) and plutonic detritus. The chemical analyses confirm this observation and demonstrate the very immature character of these rocks. The composition of the NW Hoggar graywackes differs chemically from other investigated graywackes in that they have a higher Ca, Na content and lower SiO2, Ni content. Several geological observations suggest that the average Hoggar graywacke composition approaches the composition of the W Hoggar Late Precambrian upper crust. The graywackes were formed as a result of erosion of penecontemporaneous calc-alkali volcanic suite, emplaced after widespread mafic intrusions in the Upper Proterozoic shelf deposits.

Enhancement of discrimination learning following unilateral lesions of posterior neocortex in guinea pigs - Levinson, Daniel M.; Riffle, Donald W.; Reeves, Dennis; Sheridan, Charles L. (Physiology & Behavior, 1977)
Monocular acquisition and interocular transfer of a horizontal-vertical discrimination were measured in 16 male albino guinea pigs which were restricted to using either the contralateral or ipsilateral primary visual fibers; restriction was accomplished by introduction of a unilateral striate lesion coupled with monocular occlusion. Eight sham-operated animals served as controls. The animals restricted to use of the contralateral fibers showed reliably enhanced rates of acquisition as compared to the controls, while the animals restricted to the ipsilateral fibers were unable to master the discrimination. The control animals learned readily, but demonstrated fairly low levels of interocular transfer. The data suggest that there is some form of interhemispheric interference which is eliminated by the introduction of unilateral ablations of the posterior neocortex.

Specialist training and medical research in developing countries of tropical Africa: a case for the establishment of postgraduate medical schools - Adetuyibi, A (Medical Education, 1977)
Developing countries like developed ones need highly skilled medical personnel, referred to as ‘specialists’. In the case of developing countries, the training of these specialists abroad is expensive to the sponsoring governments, imposes a lot of hardship on the doctors and, above all, the coursecontent of such training takes little or no cognizance of the environment in which these doctors would later practise. The developing countries also cannot afford the loss of years in valuable services which the training abroad entails. Attempts are now being made to train specialists wholly or partly at home, in some developing countries. The approach is still not much divorced from what obtains in Britain and North America, that is, one of being trained on the job, with the onus for self-education being placed on the prospective students. Such students in most developing countries of tropical Africa have little or no facilities for further education outside their places of work. It is proposed that purpose-designed postgraduate medical schools may provide a temporary solution to specialist training in developing countries of tropical Africa. Such schools would in addition provide highly skilled medical service as well as obviate the need and the expense for the setting up of government sponsored medical research and training institutes.

Education and Economic Development in Nigeria: The Need for a New Paradigm - Anosike, Benji J. O. (African Studies Review, 1977)
The point has been made about the dangers inherent in attempts to analyze the underdeveloped world's problems purely in terms of the experiences or models of the industrialized, developed countries of the world. It is often warned that nations and cultures differ; and that what may have worked for one society may not necessarily work for another. Consequently, these critics caution against a blind transplantation of foreign tools or models to the distinctive conditions of the contemporary developing nations. Akeredolu-Ale (1972: 119-20) put it rather sharply in the Nigerian context: … economic process cannot be studied in isolation but only in their social, political, and demographic setting…. Purely economic interpretations of the economic development process as it is going on in the less developed countries are bound to be incomplete. One striking feature of economic life in such countries, is the greater role which political factors (domestic and international) are playing in the determination of the process of economic evolution… Any investigation of the economic process in a contemporary underdeveloped country such as Nigeria, if it is to avoid superfidalism, must begin with an analytical framework that is much less restricted than that derived from orthodox Western economic theory. The transfer of Western theories, models and concepts to the study of economic problems… is not harmful per se, but it could be a source of great bias and distortion… when new facts require that they be seriously modified.

Using the Personalized System of Instruction to Teach African History - O’Toole, Thomas (African Studies Review, 1977)
Reluctantly and sporadically college and university instructors of African history surveys are discovering that effective teaching is not guaranteed solely by the excellence of our research. Like historians in other specialties we are also discovering that student and administrator evaluation of our teaching, particularly at the lower division survey level, is growing more critical. Unfortunately few of us are prepared to bridge the gap between the specialized approach engendered by our graduate school training and the pedagogical needs of the increasingly heterogeneous audiences we meet in our undergraduate history surveys. This essay is directed toward bridging this gap. Rather than simply presenting a theoretical discussion on the relative merits of this particular approach to undergraduate education, a single sample unit is offered for critical evaluation.

Lessons from legal training in Africa - Bekker, J.C. (De Rebus, 1977)
The author investigates the question whether South African universities particularly the universities for blacks, can learn anything from legal training elsewhere in Africa. He surveys the need for legally qualified Africans, localization, admission to the legal profession, practical training in lieu of articles of clerkship, crash programmes, indigenous law, the construction of a curriculum, teaching materials, the language requirements, law teaching and politics and law teachers. He surmises to what extent these matters are relevant for the development of legal training in independent homelands, such as Transkei. He comes to the conclusion that African phenomena are in many respects comparable to phenomena that are or may be encountered in independent homelands and that a great deal can be learnt from measures adopted in African states.

Cultural Relativity of Toilet Training Readiness: A Perspective From East Africa - deVries, Marten W.; DeVries, Meredith (Pediatrics, 1977)
Ideas about infant capabilities and toilet training practice have changed in the United States following cultural trends and the advice of child care experts. Anthropologists have shown that a society's specific infant training practices are adaptive to survival and cultural values. The different expectations of infant behavior of the East African Digo produces a markedly different toilet training approach than the current maturational readiness method recommended in America. The Digo believe that infants can learn soon after birth and begin motor and toilet training in the first weeks of life. With a nurturant conditioning approach, night and day dryness is accomplished by 5 or 6 months. The success of early Digo training suggests that sociocultural factors are more important determinants of toilet training readiness than is currently thought.

The Petragenesis of some Archaean Volcanic Rocks from Southern Africa - Hawkesworth, C. J.; O’Nions, R.K. (Journal of Petrology, 1977)
Major, rare earth and transition elements, have been determined on a selection of volcanic rocks from greenstone belts in Rhodesia (∼2.6 by) and South Africa (∼3.4 by). In Rhodesia two distinct series can be recognized: a komatite-tholeiite series which occurs early in the greenstone belt evolution and apparently grades into a second, calc-alkaline, series at higher structural levels. Peridotitic komatites reflect higher degrees of partial melting than any Phanerozoic rocks so far observed and are therefore used to place limits on the composition of their source. At lower MgO contents they merge into low K tholeites which have significantly higher CeN/YbN and Rb/Sr ratios (at any MgO content) than those observed in modern ocean floor and island are environments. The calc-alkaline series is characterized by andesites which exhibit a marked heavy REE depletion, but similar light REE and transition metal contents to the more evolved tholeitic rock types. The continuum of compositions from komatiites to tholeiites and calc-alkaline andesites suggests that the bulk of greenstone belt volcanics could have been derived by differential partial melting, and polybaric fractionation of an essentially homogeneous peridotite source. Late stage dacitic lavas and intrusions probably reflect melting of a more eclogitic source region. The distinctive trace element geochemistry of Archaean volcanics, particularly the high Ni and low Yb values of the calc-alkaline rocks precludes direct comparison with modern island are associations. Rather the large decrease in liquidus temperatures (500 °C) with increasing structural height within greenstone belts, coupled with the fact that most of the volcanics could have been derived from an essentially homogeneous source, may suggest that greenstone belts developed in a rifting environment. It appears unlikely that the tholeiite/calc-alkaline association observed in the Archaean may be taken as an indication of subduction at that time.

An arithmetic test, anchored with problems drawn directly from tribal tailors' apprenticeship training, was administered to a sample of Vai and Gola tailors in Liberia. The tailors differ on tailoring experience and formal schooling characteristics. Both tailoring experience and schooling contribute strongly to arithmetic problem‐solving success on unfamiliar problems.

Self-Esteem of Colored and White Scholars and Students in South Africa - Momberg, A. P.; Page, H. W. (The Journal of Social Psychology, 1977)
Summary One section of South Africa's Black population long said to exhibit lowered self-esteem is the mixed-blood South African Coloreds. At present in South Africa influences are operating similar to those said to have facilitated the upsurge in self-esteem of American Blacks. From this it was argued that a comparison of Colored and White self-esteem would now reveal a parity. Four hundred and twenty-six Ss were tested on Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory in six groups—English, Afrikaner, and Colored South Africans each contributing a school (grade 6) and a university sample. The only difference recorded was between the grade 6 Afrikaner pupils and their Colored counterparts (p < .05), but it was concluded that generally White and Colored self-esteem is the same.

Psychiatric Morbidity Among University Students in Egypt - Okasha, Ahmed; Kamel, M. M.; Sadek, Ahmed Fathy; Lotaif, F; Bishry, Zeinab (The British Journal of Psychiatry, 1977)
Summary During a nine-month period (1974–75), 1,050 students (846 male, 204 female) at Ain Shams University, Cairo, attended the Student Health Centre. Fifty-two per cent were referred there by their general practitioners, 5 per cent by their families and 3 per cent through their faculties; the remainder (41 per cent) were self-referred. Male patients represented 2·8 per cent of the male students, but female patients only 0·9 per cent of the female students. In faculties dealing with practical subjects the male-female ratio was higher than in those dealing with more theoretical subjects. The diagnoses included anxiety neurosis (36 per cent of the cases), schizophrenia (18 per cent), depression (15 per cent) and neurotic depression (12 per cent).

The western part of the Shuqra volcanic field, South Yemen - Cox, K. G.; Gass, I. G.; Mallick, D. I. J. (Lithos, 1977)
Abstract The western part of the Shuqra volcanic field consists of a wide area of geologically recent alkali basalt flows and numerous cinder cones, overlying a faulted monoclinal sequence of Jurassic limetones dipping towards the Gulf of Aden and themselves overlying Precambrian basement. The volcanic activity is substantially younger than the series of central vent volcanoes forming the Aden line somewhat to the west along the coast, and the volcanic products are more uniformly basaltic and more silica-undersaturated than those of the Aden volcanoes. Preliminary chemical data reveal an unusual whole-rock compositional trend within the Shuqra lavas which is not explicable in terms of the fractionation of the sparse phenocrysts they contain. A widespread suite of megacrysts not in equilibrium with their host liquids includes hornblende, pleonaste spinel, olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene. These may have a close genetic connection with the lavas and possibly represent fragments of refractory source material.

Resources, pollution and research in a South African economic zone - Darracott, Ann (Marine Policy, 1977)
I use the example of the 2000 US Presidential election to show that political controversies with technical underpinnings are not resolved by technical means. Then, drawing from examples such as climate change, genetically modified foods, and nuclear waste disposal, I explore the idea that scientific inquiry is inherently and unavoidably subject to becoming politicized in environmental controversies. I discuss three reasons for this. First, science supplies contesting parties with their own bodies of relevant, legitimated facts about nature, chosen in part because they help make sense of, and are made sensible by, particular interests and normative frameworks. Second, competing disciplinary approaches to understanding the scientific bases of an environmental controversy may be causally tied to competing value-based political or ethical positions. The necessity of looking at nature through a variety of disciplinary lenses brings with it a variety of normative lenses, as well. Third, it follows from the foregoing that scientific uncertainty, which so often occupies a central place in environmental controversies, can be understood not as a lack of scientific understanding but as the lack of coherence among competing scientific understandings, amplified by the various political, cultural, and institutional contexts within which science is carried out.In light of these observations, I briefly explore the problem of why some types of political controversies become “scientized” and others do not, and conclude that the value bases of disputes underlying environmental controversies must be fully articulated and adjudicated through political means before science can play an effective role in resolving environmental problems.

Belief-System and the Concept of Mental Illness among Medical Students in a Developing Country: A Nigerian Example - Erinosho, Olaywola A. (Journal of Anthropological Research, 1977)
The report focuses on the concept of mental illness among Nigerian medical students. It also deals with their attitudes toward patients who might share a magicoreligious orientation in the etiology of illness as well as their reaction to the interplay between traditional and modern medicine. To this end, students in the penultimate and final years at four medical schools were surveyed (such students would have been sufficiently exposed to various specialties in the field of medicine, including psychiatry). The major findings from our study are: (1) many medical students in the four medical schools believe that mental illness can be influenced by witchcraft despite the modernizing influence of western education; and (2) a similarly large proportion of the students feel strongly that native healing or traditional medicine is relevant to the practice of modern medicine in Nigeria.

Educational and Career Choices of Egyptian Students, 1882–1922 - Reid, Donald (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1977)
In 1899 seventeen-year old Ahmad Lutfī al-Sayyid (1872–1963) nearly entered the Cairo School of Engineering instead of the School of Law. 1 Had he done so, he might never have climbed to fame as a writer, educator, and cabinet minister. An occasional engineer did reach national prominence in Egypt during the first half of the twentieth century, but it was the lawyers who ran the show. Upon entering law school in the fall of 1889, Lutfī had as colleagues three future prime ministers (Ismā'īl Ṣidqī, 'Abd al-Khāliq Tharwat, and Muhammad Tawfīq Nasīm) as well as the enthusiastic nationalist Mu⋅⃛afā Kāmil. 2 He had made a wise choice.

Weight, height and triceps skindfold in South African black, Indian and White School pupils of 18 years. - Ar, Walker; Walker, B F (PubMed, 1977)
In representative series of Sout African Black, Indian and White High School pupils of 18 years, data were secured on weight, height and triceps skinfold. Values among Black boys were significantly lower than those among White boys. Yet, obesity was far commoner among Black compared with White girls. Among Indian pupils, there were no significant differences in mean anthropometric values between groups relatively affluent and relatively poor. Values on Indian boys were similar to those of Black boys, although the former were far more favourably placed socioeconomically. Indian girls, compared with Black girls, had highly significantly lower values for weight and skinfold thickness, but not for height. However, mean weight for height values for Black and Indian boys were similar to values for White boys. Weight for height values for Indian girls were similar to data for White girls, although values on these two ethnic groups were significantly lower than those for Black girls. Findings question the insistence by many (i) of the need to attain maximum potential growth, and (ii) apart from extreme wasting and stunting, of the need to conform to international growth standards.

The training of traditional birth attendants in Ghana: experience of the Danfa Rural Health Project. - Da, Ampofo; Dd, Nicholas; Mb, Amonoo-Acquah; Ofosu-Amaah, S; Ak, Neumann (PubMed, 1977)
Three quarters of deliveries in Ghana are still attended by untrained personnel, including traditional birth attendants (TBA's), and maternal mortality remains high. The Ministry of Health is exploring ways of improving this situation. Recently, training traditional birth attendants to improve maternal and child health practices and promote family planning has been considered. Most TBA's in rural Ghana are elderly illiterate farmers. The Danfa Project has identified and trained 57 of these TBA's with the objective of developing a programme that might be replicated elsewhere in the country. This paper describes the design of the programme and problems encountered and makes recommendations to others who may be considering similar programmes in other countries.57 traditional birth attendants were identified and trained by the Danfa Project in rural Ghana in an effort to improve maternal and child health practices and promote family planning. A plan was also developed for follow-up and continuing education of these traditional birth attendants (TBAs). The Danfa Comprehensive Rural Health and Family Planning Project is a 9-year research, service, and teaching project undertaken jointly by the University of Ghana Medical School and the University of California at Los Angeles. The following objectives of the TBA training program were defined: 1) to motivate and train the TBAs to monitor women during the antepartum period and to recognize and refer high risk woman or those with serious complications of pregnancy or delivery; 2) to train the TBAs to perform safer deliveries; 3) to train the TBAs in the proper care of the cord; and 4) to enlist the aid of the TBA in the promotion of improved maternal and child health practices and family planning in their villages. The syllabus - outlined here - emphasizes the teaching skills which are needed to meet the stated objectives. The most important aspect of the training program is the continuing support and supervision of the trained TBAs. Problem areas of the program are related to supervision, transportation, non-participation, age of the TBAs, and remuneration. The following were included among the recommendations to those contemplating the training of TBAs in Africa: 1) training should be continuous; 2) emphasis should be on motivating the younger TBAs and those who perform the greatest number of deliveries; and 3) the training program should be simple and emphasize only those basic scientific midwifery skills which would help the TBAs gain self-confidence and make deliveries safer.

The Economics of Education in Sierra Leone - Ketkar, Suhas L. (The Journal of Modern African Studies, 1977)
With respect to investment in education, two important questions need to be examined. The first is concerned with the amount to be invested in primary and secondary schools, and the institutions of higher learning, and the second relates to the distribution of total costs among the state, private institutions, and those who receive education. This short article first evaluates the existing formal educational system in Sierra Leone with the help of the cost-benefit technique. In order to obtain guidelines for future investment policies the internal social rates of return are computed for the various levels of education. Then the supply and demand of trained personnel are estimated for the period 1975–9 on the basis of the following classification: (i) high level (those with university education), (ii) middle level (those with some secondary education and technical/vocational training), and (iii) primary- and secondary-school teachers. The projections show that shortages will occur in all three groups during the next five years, above all at the middle level where a 70 per cent increase in the expected supply will be necessary to meet the requirements.

Curriculum-evaluation concerning dependent societies: The contradictory experiment of ruralized primary education in Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and its evaluation - Kordes, Hagen (Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1977)
Though the culture of Evaluation boasts of hyperdimensional forms concerning international and national organizations, which are occupied with education programs for the Third World, yet the empirico-theoretical examinations of norms, hypotheses, effects of transfer and social byproducts of educational work, are in fact nonexistent1 for the general theme-complex and for the evaluation of African school reform. The present study2 claims to present a comprehensive evaluation of school reform including emprical control and ideology-critical reflexion up to a stage which is seldom even in European and American research. As a summary this paper explains the subject, method, and the results of this evaluation.

National identity among a sample of students at an Afrikaans university in South Africa - Morse, Stephen J.; Nel, Elizabeth M. (Social Dynamics, 1977)
In this article we show that there are two more or less distinct orientations toward the citizenship role — one which stresses traditional notions of patriotism and another which emphasises more critical, active participation in the political process. These two orientations seem central since how one rates the citizenship requirements relates to both self‐identification and perceptions of social power. Our results shed light on national identity within a sample consisting largely of Afrikaans university students in South Africa and indicate that these students identify very strongly with South Africa.

A prospective clinical study into acute upper gastro-intestinal bleeding has been done and the first 60 consecutive cases analysed. It was found that contrary to the prevailing clinical impression but in agreement with published work, the commonest associated aetiological factor was chronic duodenal ulcer (33 of 60 cases). Next came acute drug or alcohol induced gastric erosions, with oesophageal varices a poor third. The unreliability of clinical impressions is confirmed.

A Historical Review of Secondary Education in Western Nigeria: 1842-1976 - Ajala, O. O. (1977)
The purposes of this study are to describe the past and the present system of secondary education in Western Nigeria; to examine the goals, achievements, and failures with special consideration for three distinct periods: (1) prior to the arrival of the British people in Western Nigeria, (2) between 1842 and 1960, and (3) between 1960 and 1976; to formulate generalizations about secondary schools, and to offer suggestions for the improvement of the secondary educational system in Western Nigeria. One recommendation that the study makes calls for mass secondary education, not education of the elite only. The recommendations call for programs that would lead to industrial and technological progress.

The chimera of education for development in Egypt: the socio‐economic roles of university graduates - Faksh, Mahmud A. (Middle Eastern Studies, 1977)
The generally held belief that education is instrumental in creating the conditions for sustained progress goes back to the Enlightenment and still has a powerful influence on national and international policy-making bodies today. The rapid scientific and technological developments in industrial societies since the Second World War have had deep implications for sustained growth and modernisation. Simultaneously, the emergence of the so-called 'underdeveloped' or 'developing' new nations in which the drive for sociopolitical and economic development is set off against the almost total lack of modern skills and institutions has strengthened the faith in the capacity of education as the 'key that unlocks the doors to modernization'.' In the face of the almost total absence of modern educational institutions in the developing countries and the belief that education is the key to rapid development and growth, both the leaders of these countries and the international agencies gave unquestioned priority to the setting up of 'modem' educational systems. Consequently, the main effort was directed towards expansion of education and the search for various educational techniques with a view to channelling it into socio-economic and political development. The study of the processes of change in developing countries can show however that the introduction and spread of modern education do not invariably produce results compatible with effective development and change. The results might be problematic or even counter-productive in the development process. This is based on the assumption that the introduction and spread of modern educational systems have their positive as well as negative consequences on development, depending on the social, economic, and political environment of the country and its dominant cultural heritage. Within the scope of this paper, one of the basic functions in the developmental process of the polity is the distributive and absorptive capacity of the economy. This index provides a convenient heuristic tool for analysing the process of development and change. Using a conceptual development scheme as comprising a greater distributive and absorptive capacity of the economy to meet rising needs and expectations, it would be possible to define and give operational meaning to this function of the development process.2 The task of this heuristic framework is to give operational meaning to capacity and show its link to education. The issue of central concern here is the extent to which the introduction and spread of modern education by the Egyptian government have not been conducive to development. Like most, if not all, of the developing countries, Egypt, in its different stages of socio-political and economic development starting with Muhamad Ali in 1805 and through President Nasser in 1952 and

The health handicap of schistosomiasis to children in Southern Africa. - Ar, Walker (PubMed, 1977)
To find out more about the health handicap caused by schistosomiasis the most meaningful approach lies in comparing populations with and without the infection. Several studies on appropriately matched groups of South African Black children have failed to reveal clear-cut disadvantages in the infected. Limited studies on White children have shown impairment in the infected. Among Black adults, the very few studies made have shown reduction of working capacity to be slight. Obviously, further comparative studies are required, more particularly on adults. Knowledge of the precise public health burden of schistosomiasis remains unsatisfactory, and a large amount of further research is required to secure the requisite information on morbidity and mortality.
