Problems of guinea pig training and how to solve them - Walloch, Richard A.; Fenwick, Julie (Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1976)
Twenty-two guinea pigs were trained to detect a tone with a food reward. Common behavioral problems were handled in the following manner: (1) “Freezing” or fear responses were easily obviated by allowing the animals to spend a night in the training cage. (2) Initially the lever was baited to induce pressing. (3) “False positives” were punished with a 10-sec “time out,” and the “false positive” rate was reduced by increasing the number of observing responses needed to activate the tone. (4) Failures to detect the tone were also reduced by increasing the number of observing responses. (5) Despite an adequate feeding schedule, motivational levels of the quinea pigs remained a problem.

A comparative study of education for librarianship in West Africa - Akinyotu, Adetunji (International Library Review, 1976)
Formal library education was first organized in West Africa in 1944 when a library school was opened at Achimota College, Gold Coast. This school was established as a result of a survey conducted by Miss Ethel Fegan whose report was submitted to the British Colonial Office in 1944.1 The school was headed by Miss Fegan and financed jointly by the British Council and the Governments of the three colonies of Nigeria, Gold Coast and Sierra Leone. There were 14 students in all, made up of six from Nigeria, four from the Gold Coast, three from Sierra Leone and one from French Togo. Ten of these successfully sat for the entrance examination of the British Library Association.2 But the school was closed down after one year because, as Miss Evelyn Evans* pointed out, it was felt that more libraries were not likely to be established in the near future and therefore it was pointless to continue to train librarians for whom there would be no jobs. Harold Lancour4 later summed up the situation thus: “At that time there were no properly conceived or operated libraries to serve as examples of what could be accomplished. There was no cadre of trained and experienced people to conduct a training program. There was in no sense a library profession or tradition.” With the closure of this school came the end of the first experiment in formal library education in West Africa and it was several years after that before any such venture was attempted again. In the interval, however, some form of training was going on in the few libraries that then existed in the different countries. The British

The role of libraries in the teaching and studying of french in secondary schools in West Africa - Fadiran, Dokun (International Library Review, 1976)
It is now becoming increasingly important for English-speaking countries in West Africa to introduce French into the school curriculum in order that there could be more meaningful interaction between them and their neighbouring Francophone countries. The economic integration which all the countries in West Africa are now aspiring to achieve among themselves will be made feasible if the communication problem among the countries can be reduced to a minimum. The learning of French language in the Anglophone countries and that of English language in the Francophone countries will eliminate the communication problem now existing among the various countries of West Africa and will thus engender cordial relationships as well as fruitful transactions among them. Though French has been introduced into the secondary school curriculum in most of the English-speaking countries of West Africa, a lot still has to be done both at national and local levels in order to achieve the desired benefits which are likely to be the outcome of teaching this subject in schools and universities. In this paper, I shall examine the role which libraries and librarians can play in making the teaching and learning of French as a second language more effective in West African secondary schools and explain why there should be close co-operation between teachers of French and librarians. To succeed in teaching French in an Anglophone country, a teacher will need to depend not only on his personal ability and what he can impart to his students by way of teaching but also on how much he can make his students learn by themselves and on how much use, he, as well as his students, can make of the library. To enliven the interest of the students in the subject, the teacher of French should always try to arouse

The junior class of twenty-three children (ages eight and one-half to twelve and one-half) were involved in a historical study of architecture, with Egypt as the focus. Based on the belief that children learn more naturally if sharp distinctions are not drawn between subject areas, the curriculum was developed in an integrated fashion as much as possible.

French Education in Revolutionary North Africa - Heggoy, Alf Andrew; Zingg, Paul J. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 1976)
The very nature of colonialism—the extension of authority by one nation over another people—precludes any valid consideration of the system within a mere examination of its political and economic exploitative elements. The primary of these motives, however, has often overshadowed other traditional emphases of the colonizer himself in seeking advancement of his corrosive system. Reference to the mission civilisatrice , the cultural and moral mission of the colonizer, preoccupied and prejudiced continued justification for the colonial institution. Yet, the fallacy of the major objectives of the system revealed the untenable character of its moral, humanitarian, and cultural aspects.

Children of Immigrants: The Adjustment of Ugandan Asian Primary-School Children in Canada - Minde, Klaus; Minde, Rehema M (Canadian Psychiatric Association journal, 1976)
The study examines the psychological and academic adjustment to Canada of 51 Ugandan Asian primary school-aged children and their families. Twenty-six percent of all the children showed significant psychopathology and about 50 percent had difficulties in certain academic subjects. The psychopathology of the children was significantly correlated with the family's drop in income and professional prestige. The children's parents predominantly worked in unskilled jobs and all family members had made only very few personal contacts with white Canadians. Nevertheless a significant number of families were under great stress as female members rebelled against their traditional roles. These findings are discussed in relation to other studies dealing with recent immigrants.

Demographic training and research in Africa. - Aa, Igun (PubMed, 1976)
The state of demographic data in Africa is reviewed in this paper along with constraints affecting the collection of adequate demographic information. An evaluation is made of the present situation and efforts to rectify the shortage of demographic personnel in the UN sponsored subregional demographic institutes, including an outline of the course program. The effort and progress being made in similar training programs at the University of Ife, Nigeria, is also examined. Obstacles to the collection of demographic data are classified as physical difficulties; administrative and official problems and difficulties; technical and staff problems; and sociocultural problems. A consensus has been reached on the inadequacy of past efforts in data collection and analysis in Africa. Special attention must be paid to the training of demographers. A comparison is made between demographers in developed countries who have their data collected for them and the African demographer who must be his own statistician, sociologist, anthropologist, and geographer to understand the biases his data are subject to. Training for African demographers should emphasize problems in data collection, data manipulation, and innovation in solving methodological problems. Type of personnel needed include teachers of demography, high level professionals, middle level professionals and low level workers. The training programs given by the Regional Institutes for Population Studies are a postgraduate diploma course, lasting 1 year and a Master's degree course for those who obtain the diploma. Subjects covered include substantive demography; technical demography; family planning, its development and evaluation; auxiliary subjects including mathematics, statistics, sampling and research methods; and complementary subjects e.g., economics, sociology, national planning, physiology of reproduction, and genetics. Short term research projects and a major research report are an integral part of the programs. The paper underlines the need for assistance to such University based programs in expanding their activities with a view to meeting the needs of African governments, private and public agencies, as well as citizens for basic demographic information.

Volcanic stratigraphy and geochronology of the Kedong–Olorgesailie area and the evolution of the South Kenya rift valley - Baker, B. H.; Mitchell, J. G. (Journal of the Geological Society, 1976)
An area 1360 km 2 in extent on the eastern side of the South Kenya rift valley consists of block faulted Plio-Pleistocene flood lavas ranging from basalts to trachytes. The oldest flood lavas are the Limuru trachytes (1.91 Ma BP) which were followed by the Ol Keju Nero basalts. A second eruptive cycle began with the Ol Tepesi basalts (1.42–1.65 Ma), which contain a very thick porphyritic benmoreite flow, and were followed by the Plateau trachytes (0.8–1.25 Ma). The magnetic polarities of the lavas agree with new K–Ar dates, and allow a revised and expanded stratigraphic succession to be established. The tectonic evolution of the eastern margin of the South Kenya rift valley followed pre-rift eruption of peralkaline lavas from shield volcanoes (13.4–3.3 Ma), and consisted of formation of the eastern boundary fault (3.3–2.3 Ma), formation of an inner graben (1.9–1.65 Ma), succeeded by almost continuous block fault movements (0.8–0.4 Ma). It is postulated that two major basalt-trachyte eruptive cycles occurred during late Pleistocene evolution of the southern rift valley, and that the voluminous flood trachytes could have been formed by fractional crystallization from a large basic intrusive body emplaced under the axial zone of the rift.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate in healthy North Nigerian university students. - Breckenridge, Mary Alice B.; Okpanachi, E (PubMed, 1976)
The technique recommended by the International committee for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) was utilized for determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in 'healthy' young Nigerian students living in the northern part of the country. Ninety-five point eight percent of a sample of 188 cases showed values within the Westergren norm for the first hour viz. 2.6 mm for males and 8.4 mm for females. A detailed follow up during the second hour revealed that 80% were within the norm for the second hour. The second hour elevations in apparently healthy subjects never exceeded 42 mm into the pathological range which would invalidate its use as a screening test in Nigeria for a young student population. The effects of standardization of technique and the changing age-nutrition parameters of populations on the phenomenon of erythrocyte sedimentation is evaluated in the context of the view that the 'African normal' is higher than in temperate countries.

Charles t. Loram and an American Model for African Education in South Africa - Davis, R. Hunt (African Studies Review, 1976)
During the period between the two world wars, a principal theme underlying African education was a belief that the black school system of the American South constituted a suitable model for Africa. Thinking along these lines was prevalent throughout the continent (especially in the English-ruled colonies and Liberia), but nowhere was it stronger than in South Africa. This was mainly due to the Union's unique position of having a large settler population that was steadily augmenting its political sovereignty. White South Africans could readily view their positions as akin to that of white southerners in the United States, while Africans could easily draw parallels between their situation and that of black Americans. Certain individuals, institutions, and organizations in the United States believed that American answers to problems of race relations (which encompassed education) were applicable to other countries—they thus stood ready to aid South Africans in transferring and adapting a generalized American model of black schooling to the South African environment. In fact, more than one model of black American education for South Africans existed. Africans viewed what was for them a progressive education system that emphasized black initiative and educational advancement. For example, while only 25 percent of their children attended school and 88 percent of their community were illiterate, 70 percent of black American schoolage children were in school, and black illiteracy had dropped from 90 percent in 1866 to 23 percent in 1926 (Huss, 1931: 2). White South Africans (those not totally opposed to some form of schooling for Africans) saw a system that seemed to train blacks sufficiently for living in a modern society yet served to limit any challenge they might pose to white control.

Teaching African Politics at American Colleges and Universities: A Survey - Kenski, Henry C.; Kenski, Margaret Corgan (African studies review, 1976)
Political scientists who teach African politics courses at U.S. colleges and universities were surveyed in 1973 to (1) discover successful teaching techniques, approaches, and texts; (2) determine the popularity of courses in African politics; and (3) collect data on the status of African politics as a research area. A questionnaire vas mailed to 289 scholars and course instructors who responded to questions relating to the teaching and researching of African politics. Findings show that most respondents had conducted research and felt most familiar with Anglo-speaking countries. In regard to texts, the most popular work on African politics is Creating Political Order: The Party-States of West Africa by Zolberg, but a list of great books cannot be determined. Almond and Powell, Apter, and Huntington were named for contributing approaches to political development that are useful in planning courses, but it was emphasized that no one approach is sufficient. The teaching technique mentioned most frequently was fiction reading assignments, and Achebels novels compete with scholarly works as assignments. Finally, enrollment in African politics courses is declining, possibly due to socioeconomic interests of students in other areas. (ND)

The Writer as Teacher: A Comparison of the African Adventure Stories of G. A. Henty, Rene Guillot, and Barbara Kimenye - Schmidt, Nancy J. (African Studies Review, 1976)
Adventure stories are favorites among children in many parts of the world. Africa has been the locale of hundreds of children's adventure stories written by African and non-African authors for over a century. These adventure stories, along with other fiction, are just as powerful teachers about Africa as are professional educators. This essay will compare the adventure stories of three wellknown and popular authors (as judged by literary critics and child readers) who based their stories on extensive firsthand experience in Africa. The writers belong to three different generations, and their adventure stories are typical of those of many other writers of their time. Representing the Victorian Age is George Alfred Henty, whose name is “probably identified above all others with the Victorian adventure story” (Townsend, 1975: 63) and whose books were so popular with children that in 1894 some British teachers limited the number that students could read (Welsch, n.d.). The early twentieth century is represented by Rene Guillot, the initiator of the exotic novel for children (Jan and Patte, 1973: 360) and winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Prize of the International Board on Books for Young People—a prize which has been awarded only three times since 1958. Although Guillot wrote all of his children's books in French, almost all of them have been translated into English. Barbara Kimenye (a journalist from Uganda, short story writer, and one of East Africa's most prolific children's writers) represents the mid-twentieth century. She writes about ordinary people “who live outside the pale of ordinary society” and makes their lives interesting (Nazareth, 1974: 167).

The lawyer, legal education and population policies in Africa. - Uu, Uche (PubMed, 1976)
This paper analyses the relationship of the lawyer and legal education to policies of population dynamics in Africa. Lawyers have been reluctant to enter effectively into population studies and consequently are peripheral in influencing the formulation and implementation of population policies in Africa. This "unfortunate" situation reflects the varying attitudes of the lawyer to some aspects of population dynamics. The concept of Human Rights is examined as offering a suitable avenue for increased participation of lawyers into the formulation of population policies. The paper examines the structure of laws affecting parameters of population dynamics in Kenya and the extent to which Kenya's legal structure, as in some other African countries, is pegged to the legal system of their colonial governments. This factor, reinforced by traditional practices and socioeconomic factors, frustrate lawyers' attitudes. These attitudes can be changed by making population law an integral part of legal educational curricula. Breakdowns are given of lawyer's attitudes to fertility and abortion under specified conditions and descriptions of various case studies in Kenya, Sweden, Prague, Czechoslovakia, and England involving abortion laws. Contraception laws in Africa and health codes are detailed in order to trace how people's attitudes tend to frustrate the law, especially concerning veneral diseases. Laws concerning drugs, and especially spatial distribution (urban and rural migration) are described to show how lawyers can become involved in population law. The author's recommended law curriculum is given which emphasizes introductory preparation in the sociological, economic, demographic, health and sex education dimensions of the subject of population law in addition to study of all statutory provisions, orders, regulations, by laws and judicial decisions that have any bearing on population matters. Categories to be studied should include fertility regulation, family law, children and child welfare, criminal offence and penology, public welfare, public health, education, property and economic factors.

The Training and Activity of Village Midwives in the Sudan - Bayoumi, Ahmed (Tropical Doctor, 1976)
In 1921 in the Sudan a small-scale pioneering program to train illiterate midwives in delivery procedures was initiated. Since 1921 the program was gradually expanded. Reports of the Sudan Medical Service were used to assess the program. In 1921 the Omdurman Midwifery School was established. At the school midwives from surrounding rural villages were trained for 4 months under the supervision of a British nurse Miss M. Wolff. Training was gradually extended to 6 and then 9 months. Miss Wolff also recruited the trainees and supervised them when they returned to their communities. Between 1921-1949 544 midwives were graduated from the school. After 1949 midwife training schools were gradually established throughout the country and by 1974 there were 16 schools. From 1950-1975 annual enrollment in these schools increased from 30 to 523 and during this period a total of 3889 village midwives were trained. The midwife to population ratio increased from 4.8/100000 in 1945 to 13.6/100000 in 1970. The current program provides 9 months of both practical and theorectical training. Trainees must be between the ages of 18-25 years and acceptable to their communities. Recruitment preference is given to women who are married divorced or widowed. Graduates are licensed and supervised by the Provincial Medical Officer. The midwives receive a small salary from the local government council but most of their income is derived from client fees. Midwives duties include: 1) performing at-home deliveries; 2) providing maternal and child care at the local dispensary; 3) registering births; 4) dispensing some drugs; and 5) making referrals. An examination of declining maternal mortality rates indicated that the midwives have an impact on the health status of rural women. Suggestions for further improving the program were: 1) to provide graduates with in-service training; 2) to provide new trainees with more comprehensive training in maternal and child health and in community health; 3) to equalize the distribution of trainees throughout the country; and 4) to put greater emphasis on training professional midwives. Tables provide information on the distribution of village midwives in the country.

SAR arcs and 6300 Å emission by dissociative recombination of O2+ observed from Africa during severe magnetic storms - Carman, E.; Heeran, M.P.; Skinner, N.J. (Planetary and Space Science, 1976)
SAR arcs were observed from Southern Africa on 17/18 December 1971, 4/5 August 1972 and 1/2 April 1973 with the equatorwards edge at L = 1.8. Simultaneous with the latter event the intertropical arc was observed at an equatorial station. There was no apparent relationship. Calculations show that while the entire observed inter-tropical emission results from dissociative recombination of O2+ this process may, in some cases, account for only a fraction of a percent of the observed SAR arc emission. More than five years of geomagnetic storm data shows that Southern African SAR arcs are unlikely unless disturbances exceed 150 γ. For very severe 300 γ disturbances main phase SAR arcs may be observed. Estimates of the fraction of storm energy used in production of the present arcs indicate they are inefficient sinks for magnetic storms.

About half of the respondents ranked the values for self and the remainder ranked for Australian expatriates working in Papua New Guinea. 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 moral values, and to values involving rules of conduct related to status and authority when rankings were for self than when they were for expatriates. They ranked stimulus‐seeking and materialistic values and values concerned with striving and competence higher in importance when rankings were for expatriates rather than for self. The average value systems (medians) for self and for expatriates were also compared for similarity with those obtained from groups previously tested in Papua New Guinea and in Australia. Similarity coefficients involving average rankings for self were much higher when comparisons were made within each nation than between the two nations. It was doubtful that the students were judging expatriate value systems accurately because similarity coefficients were close to zero (terminal values) and low positive (instrumental values) when average value systems for expatriates were compared with corresponding average rankings for self of Australians actually tested in Australia. Results were discussed in relation to the consequences of discrepancies in value systems between the indigenous population and expatriates and more generally as illustrating the importance of developing an ecology of values within and across nations.

The Palaeomagnetism of Late Cenozoic Volcanic Rocks from Kenya and Tanzania - Reilly, T. A.; Raja, P. K. S.; Mussett, A. E.; Brock, A. (Geophysical Journal International, 1976)
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 field rather than to polar wander. For at least the past 7 My and possibly for the past 13 My, secular variation in East Africa has been large and in accord with model predictions for near equatorial sites. This contrasts with low secular variation observed in Iavas younger than 5 My from the Hawaiian Islands.

LES ASPECTS HYDROLOGIQUES DE LA SECHERESSE RECENTE EN AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST / Hydrological aspects of the recent drought in West Africa - Roche, Michel Alain; Rodier, Jean; Sircoulon, Jacques (Hydrological sciences bulletin, 1976)
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 absolute extreme low precipitation amounts were recorded. In many parts of the Sahel the driest year was 1972 when the frequency of rainfall was close to the 100-year low, but in the southern humid tropical regions there was more rainfall than normal. Although there has been near normal rainfall since 1974 the effects of the drought have hardly begun to disappear. Runoff and discharge data are presented, as well as Lake Chad levels. This drought is not unique in the recent historical period as hydrological data collected from the beginning of the century show there were similar periods of severe drought from 1910 to 1914 and from 1940 to 1944.

Sexual attitudes and behavior among students in Uganda - Kisekka, Mere Nakateregga (Journal of Sex Research, 1976)
A study was conducted of sexual attitudes and behavior among students in secondary schools in Uganda. Surveys were undertaken during June-August, 1970 and 1971, in 7 schools near Kampala. These students are exposed to the following nonindigenous factors: Christianity, formal education, urbanism, and Western materialism. The survey indicates that all change has not been in the direction from traditional to modern, although there is a permissive trend among the students that differs from their restrictive cultural background. Traditional attitudes and behaviors regarding the sex act and acceptance of premarital children remain. Acceptance of premarital sex and abortion are departures from traditional views. Premarital parenthood is still preferred to abortion. Males particularly still support traditional sexual practices. In general, females were less liberal in their views than males; differences between the groups tend to disappear as age and educational level rise. Sex education, gynecological counseling, and contraceptive advice are needed among these students.

Cognitive Processes and School Learning: A Review of Research on Cognition in Africa - McLaughlin, Stephen D. (African Studies Review, 1976)
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 find ways to live and work with such difficulties. This paper will review some of the attempts at such research conducted by psychologists who seek to understand cognitive processes as they are manifested among African peoples. Before the formal study of cognitive processes across cultures began, there was a long dialogue among scholars of various persuasions comparing the mental faculties of people in different cultures. While this paper is concerned primarily with a review of experimental studies of cognition, an awareness of some of these earlier philosophical/theoretical discussions provides a useful backdrop for the consideration of the formal psychological studies. Crystallized within the discussions are some of the enduring issues that have confronted cross-cultural researchers. Often, these discussions centered around highly controversial issues. One of the major controversies of cross-cultural research is the question of whether or not the mental processes of people in nontechnological societies differ qualitatively from the mental processes of people in technological societies. European travelers, missionaries, and colonial administrators returning from Africa (as well as other places) often reported such differences in mentality. Various dichotomous labels were applied to these supposed differences in European and African thought:

Consciousness and Contradiction: A Study of Student Protest in Zambia - Burawoy, Michael (The British Journal of Sociology, 1976)
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 is the relationship among these functions that determines, at the structural level, the propensity to engage in political activity. Second, the political consciousness of the institution's members is determined not merely by their roles within the university but by other roles they held in the past, hold in the present or anticipate occupying in the future. Third, the outbreak of student protest must therefore be understood as the outcome of the interaction of a specific student consciousness and the structural contradictions which inhere in the functions of the

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.

Protein calorie malnutrition and nutritional anaemia in Black pre-school children in a South African semirural community. - Margo, G.; Lipschitz, Stan; Joseph, Elaine; Green, Ralph; Metz, J (PubMed, 1976)
The incidence of nutritional anaemia and of protein calorie malnutrition in 119 randomly selected Black children living in the Muldersdrift area was studied. The ecology of nutritional problems in the community was also investigated. Major problems in the area were poor educational and medical facilities, a high childhood mortality rate and poor cash incomes. An important factor which influenced nutrition was large family size. The incidence of protein calorie malnutrition was 27,6% and of nutritional anaemia 13,3%. In the second year of life the incidence of anaemia was 27,3%. The main cause of anaemia was iron deficiency.

DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONS AND THEIR INNOVATIONS TO REDUCE PERMANENTLY THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHTS ON AGRICULTURE (WITH IMPLICATION FOR ETHIOPIA) - Abebe, Kassahun (Graduate Research Master's Degree Plan B Papers, 1976)
Drought is a natural hazard that cannot be avoided significantly within the present level of scientific development. Studies and experiments to overcome drought have not yet reached the stage of development where the world can depend on the available scientific technology to avoid droughts. As a result, both scientifically developed and the developing nations face the problem equally. The recent droughts of the Sahel and Northeast Africa and the current drought of the Great Plains of the United States show how diverse the distribution of the problem is and the range of possible effects that might be sustained in the poor regions of the world such as the Sahel and the more developed regions like the Great Plains. There is a large body of experience on drought problem and how to handle it in many countries today. Despite this, some less developed countries, though they had faced the problem from time to time, have not looked at it as a serious national problem requiring organized national efforts and planned action until very recently, late after they have seriously suffered the consequences. As a result of this unpreparedness they have suffered serious losses whenever they are attacked by drought and the confusion and inefficiency that follow have caused great damages both to human life and property beyond repair in most cases. Even worse, there are some countries today that have not set up any national institution to look after this problem even though they have faced drought several times. Therefore, what is attempted in this research work is to look at the incidences of droughts in some countries with different economic, social, and political backgrounds at given periods in their history and evaluate how they developed their drought combating institutions and carried out their different programs.

As a result, both scientifically developed and the developing nations face the problem equally. The recent droughts of the Sahel and Northeast Africa and the current drought of the Great Plains of the United States show how diverse the distribution of the problem is and the range of possible effects that might be sustained in the poor regions of the world such as the Sahel and the more developed regions like the Great Plains. There is a large body of experience on drought problem and how to handle it in many countries today. Despite this, some less developed countries, though they had faced the problem from time to time, have not looked at it as a serious national problem requiring organized national efforts and planned action until very recently, late after they have seriously suffered the consequences. As a result of this unpreparedness they have suffered serious losses whenever they are attacked by drought and the confusion and inefficiency that follow have caused great damages both to human life and property beyond repair in most cases. Even worse, there are some countries today that have not set up any national institution to look after this problem even though they have faced drought several times. Therefore, what is attempted in this research work is to look at the incidences of droughts in some countries with different economic, social, and political backgrounds at given periods in their history and evaluate how they developed their drought combating institutions and carried out their different programs.

Using w.i.t.a. and Standard Orthography in Teaching English Reading in Nigeria. - Abiri, John O. O. (The Reading Teacher, 1976)
THE ENGLISH language is one of the unifying factors binding together the very many linguistic groups within the Federation of Nigeria. It is the official language of government, the medium of instruc tion at the secondary and higher levels of education, and the language of international communication. Without the English language it would be virtually impossible for most Nigerians, who speak about two hundred different languages and dialects, to communicate either with one another or with people from other parts of the world. That the English language should be properly taught in Nigeria is therefore a matter of sound educational policy. Unfortunately, however, English is unsatisfactorily taught at the lower levels of the Nigerian educational system. A survey team (Nigerian Ministry of Education, 1966) that looked into language teaching in Nigeria commented thus:

Education and Evaluation in an Integrated MCH/FP Project in Rural Ghana: The Danfa Project - Ak, Neumann; Wb, Ward; Me, Pappoe; Dl, Boyd (International journal of health education, 1976)
The Danfa Comprehensive Rural Health and Family Planning Project is an 8-year service research teaching and demonstration project in rural Ghana. The research framework provides combinations of health care services including health education and family planning in an effort to demonstrate and evaluate the effect each approach has in solving rural health problems - by itself and in combination with other components. 4 research areas - 1) comprehensive health care 2) health education program 3) family planning program and 4) standard ministry of health services - contain combinations of health services. Comprehensive health care integrates the activities of a health center staff with services provided by a mobile family planning team and community outreach programs in health education. A single family planning team consisting of nurse-midwife community health nurse and clerk provides services to Areas 1 2 and 3 in a pattern which ensures equal exposure of the population to its services. A wide range of contraceptive devices are offered without charge. The study population in each of the 4 areas exceeds 12000 inhabitants. The stated goal of the Danfa Project is the reduction of morbidity mortality and fertility. The ultimate test of health educations impact will be the extent to which it effectively motivates individuals to adopt behavior which will bring about such reductions. Comparison of rates over the life of the project and between areas will be performed. Morbidity and fertility surveys conducted at 2 1/2-year intervals plus vital events records and demographic data are the source of these rates.

The history of physical education and sport in the Libyan Arab Republic - El-Hinshiri, Ali Khalifa (1976)
The purpose of this study was an historical analysis of the development of physical education and sport in the Libyan Arab Republic from the earliest recorded references to the present day. The historical method of research was used to collect and describe data. In the early history of Libya there was ample evidence that physical activities, of a rudimentary nature, were an essential aspect of life. The first organized sport, however, did not appear until after 1920 with the formation of the Italian sport federation. Sport competitions and clubs gradually increased in number and type particularly after the proclamation of independence in 1952 when the Central Sports League was established. The sport movement gained momentum in the 1960s with the formation of the Libyan Olympic Committee which provided leadership, organization and financial aid. Between 1960 and 1975 there was a dispersion of sports activities to all parts of the country as mass participation became a reality. The most popular mass sports were soccer, volleyball, basketball and track and field.

The formation contains a high proportion of diverse volcaniclastic rocks and is lithologically similar to volcanic sequences described from island-arc assemblages elsewhere. The volcanic rocks are dominantly potassic basalt and low-silica andesite (48 to 56 percent SiO2) containing 1.5 to 6.5 percent K2O and having low TiO2 content typical of circumoceanic volcanic rocks. Two main groups can be recognized: abundant shoshonite and related rocks (absarokite, rare leucite trachyte) and high-K, high-Al basalt (with some high-K, low-Si andesite).The Finisterre Volcanics are chemically similar to high-K rocks described from island arcs elsewhere in the southwest Pacific and in the Mediterranean. However, unlike some other island arcs, there is no evidence of a three-stage evolution from arc tholeiite to calc-alkalic andesite to shoshonite. The volcanic rocks probably formed in a volcanic arc that developed north of a northeastward-dipping subduction zone in response to early Tertiary plate interactions. The Finisterre volcanic magmas may have originated by partial melting of mantle material modified by slab-derived silicic melts.

Experience with urinary calculus disease in Nigerians as seen at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. - Jo, Esho (PubMed, 1976)
The rarity of urinary calculus disease in this community was established by reviewing the cases seen in the Lagos University Teaching Hospital over an eleven year period and also by reviewing autopsy records of 5,022 patients. In the clinical review 45 stones were recorded in a period during which 636,735 Nigerian patients were seen in the clinics putting the incidence of stones in the urinary tract as 7 in 100,000. At the time the patients were seen, sixteen stones were located in the kidneys nine stones in the ureters, twenty two stones in the bladder and four in the urethra. Three patients had stones in multiple sites. In only nine patients (20%) were the stones idiopathic while the rest could be blamed on various forms of obstructive uropathy, stasis, infection or metabolic disorders. This contrasts sharply with stones in caucasians in which about 66% are idiopathic. Children and females were rarely affected by urinary stones. In the autopsy review, only two adult were found to have stones out of a total of 5,022 bodies. Although urinary calculi may be silent and remain undiagnosed, this low autopsy incidence indicates that stones are not just being missed in the clinics but that it is uncommon in this community.

Effect of prenatal heat stress on brain growth and serial discrimination reversal learning in the guinea pig - Jonson, Keith M.; Lyle, J. G.; Edwards, M. J.; Penny, Ralph (Brain Research Bulletin, 1976)
Exposure of pregnant guinea pigs to an environmental temperature of 42°C for 1 hr daily on Days 20–24 of gestation resulted in a significant reduction in the birthweight and brainweight of newborn offspring. These deficits persisted to early maturity and were still evident at 250 days of age following behavioral testing. Although some degree of postnatal neurogenesis and brain growth had occurred, this was not sufficient to compensate for the retarding influence of prenatal hyperthermia. Heat stress was also observed to seriously impair learning performance on the original discrimination task and this tendency persisted over the subsequent 4 reversals for both initial and perseverative errors. Impaired learning performance was related to reduction in brainweight. Animals with lower brainweights made significantly more initial, perseverative and total number of errors over the 5 problems. In addition, 12 of the 14 behaviorally tested stressed progeny had brainweights that were at least 2 standard deviations below the mean of the controls and as a result were classified as micrencephalic. Although heat stressed animals showed a significant reduction in the number of amacrine synapses in the inner plexiform layer of the retina, performance differences were not attributed to changes in synaptic organisation of the retinal circuitry or to visual or other ophthalmic defects, but brain function. Animals with higher mean maternal poststressing core temperatures gave birth to progeny which had smaller whole and part wet-brainweights. Examination of the effect of poststressing core temperature on brainweight revealed that brain growth, independent of bodyweight, was retarded when this temperature elevated above 41.5°C. This represented a rise of approximately 2.1°C above normal and for each 1°C rise above this temperature, brainweight was reduced by 0.4227 g of the control value. Analysis of the atmospheric content of the incubator during stressing sessions ruled out the possibility that changes in level of oxygen and carbon dioxide may have contributed to the retarding influence on fetal development and learning ability in the guinea pig.

The influence of wife's education on fertility in rural Egypt - Khalifa, Atef M. (Journal of Biosocial Science, 1976)
Based on survey data from rural Egypt, the effects of the wife's education on fertility and family planning were investigated and shown to be very important. In accordance with the results of most other studies, there is an inverse relationship with the number of live births. The wife's education is also shown to influence attitudes towards family size, spacing, and knowledge and approval of contraceptives, all of which lead to a high proportion of contraceptive use and help to achieve the desired family size. There was also a clear inverse association between the wife's education and pregnancy loss and infant mortality; these latter two variables showed positive correlations with the number of live births.

The Exportation of American Higher Education to West Africa: Liberia College, 1850-1900 - Livingston, Thomas W. (Journal of Negro Education, 1976)
American educational activity abroad began in 1822 with the founding of Liberia as a settlement of the American Colonization Society (hereafter referred to as A.C.S.) for repatriated freedmen. Although the society was non-governmental and non-demoninational, it was supported and largely dominated by churchmen. Prominent statesmen such as James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Bushrod Washington were also associated with the organization, but they too, in varying degrees, subscribed to the evangelistic sentiments of the recently established foreign mission societies. Liberia was seen not only as a home for American freedmen but as a center for the Christianization and civilization of Africa, as well.2 For several preceding centuries, Americans on their own soil had been in contact with what by the latter part of the 19th century were known as the despised, inferior, or child races: the Indians, whose land they coveted; and the Blacks, whose labor they extracted in slavery. Attitudes forged toward these peoples no doubt affected the evangelistic and educational schemes exported to Africa and Asia during the 19th and 20th centuries when race came to be seen as the vital force in history, but the initial schools and educational programs established in Liberia were remarkably

A series of K-Ar dates from Mt Giluwe volcano is reported and its relevance to the Quaternary history of the volcano is discussed. The period between about 380 000 and 220 000 years BP seems to have been one of major volcanic activity. During the volcanic activity there were periods of ice cover probably of short duration. The oldest evidence of glacial action predates a lava flow dated at between 340 000 and 380 000 years. At about 290 000 years an ice cap of a thickness of at least 100 m covered the summit area and one or a series of subglacial eruption(s) led to the formation of palagonitic breccia. This event was probably associated with a complete melting of the ice since it was followed almost immediately by the eruption of a thick sequence of normal lava flows which range in age from ab out 289 000 years to about 220 000 years. Subsequent volcanic activity was less significant and no dates are available on this.

IMPAIRMENT OF HEART MITOCHONDRIA INDUCED BY LARGE DOSES OF SYMPATHOMIMETICS AND ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS IN GUINEA PIGS - Monma, Yoshio; Saito, Hideya; Tanabe, T. (Journal of toxicological sciences, 1976)
By using the polarographic technique with a rotating electrode, respiratory function was tested in heart mitochondria which were obtained from guinea pigs pretreated with sympathomimetics and adrenergic blocking agents. The degree and duration of mitochondrial impairment were dose-dependent. Alpha and beta adrenergic blocking agents both induced the same type of obstruction of mitochondrial respiration as was seen with sympathomimetics. It has been suggested that a hypoxic state of the myocardium induced by sympathomimetics is partially related to the onset of respiratory obstrution in myocardial mitochondria. No relationship was observed between the catecholamine-induced impairment of mitochondria and adrenergic receptors in the myocardium.

Attitudes and practices of traditional birth attendents in rural Ghana: implications for training in Africa. - Nicholas, D; Ampofo, D.A.; Ofosu-Amaah, S; Asante, Ruth Otison; Neumann, Alfred K. (PubMed, 1976)
In the Danfa Project area of rural Ghana a survey of the characteristics, attitudes, and practices of traditional birth attendants was conducted. In 1973, 6 months following the start of the family planning program, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of the traditional birth attendants registered. Interviews were carried out in the local language by public health nurses familiar with the area. 82 interviews were completed. Differences in interview responses between areas were negligible and combined results are reported for the 3 areas surveyed. There were 2 types of traditional birth attendants – herbalists who engaged in midwifery as only part of their medical practice and those who limited their practice to midwifery. The traditional birth attendants usually gave correct or neutral advice and most recognized the benefits of rapid referral to hospitals for seious problems. They were supportive of family planning and very interested in improving their skills. However, a number of factors must be considered in organizing training programs. Special adult educational methods must be used. In order to achieve adequate coverage 1 must train large numbers of traditional birth attendants who perform an average on only 7 deliveries per year and who are widely scattered in remote rural villages. This creates extensive problems, particularly in transportation and follow-up supervision. Combining training of traditional birth attendants with other village health programs or community development projects could be the answer.

In his address to the First Congress of Africanists in Accra on 12 December 1962, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah reminded his audience that they were united by the fact that they wanted to find out the truth about Africa, and when they had found out, they would proclaim it to the world. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah thus underscored the duality of the role of the Africanists in the second half of the twentieth century. Those engaged in African studies were charged to search for the truth about Africa with scientific and academic rigor. They were also exhorted to make known and to share the results of their research and discoveries with the world at large. African studies, according to Dr. Nkrumah, should help to create the launching pad for progressive and dynamic social policy.

The association of endemic elephantiasis of the lower legs in East Africa with soil derived from volcanic rocks - Price, E. W. (Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1976)
Endemic elephantiasis of the lower legs in Ethiopia, which reaches a maximum of 86-7 per 1,000 adults in affected areas, is related to the distribution of red clay soil derived from volcanic rocks, particularly basalt. Prevalence falls rapidly on leaving these areas. This observation has been tested in regions of non-filarial elephantiasis reported in Kanya and north-western Tanzania and further investigated in volcanic areas of Rwanda where the disease had not previously been reported. The same relationship is found to occur in these areas. The limitation to the lower legs of the barefooted section of the farming community suggests that the aetiological factor or factors enter by the feet. The occurrence at high altitude (over 1,200 metres) is noted and the predominance of basalt or basalt-like lava in each case is considered significant. The altitude governs rainfall and temperature and thus governs the type of soil produced. The soil produced from these rocks is rich in colloidal iron oxide, alumina and silica, to which a number of metallic ions are adsorbed. This soil is a reddish-brown clay which, when wet, is strongly adherent to the skin. The derived ions are known to be toxic to human tissue and absorption through intact human skin has been shown to occur experimentally. It is suggested that absorption of these irritants through the bare feet is responsible for the irreversible damage to the lymphatic channels. The present studies support the hypothesis that "high-altitude" elephantiasis of the lower legs in East Africa is a geochemical disease.

Local Native Councils and the Politics of Education in Kenya, 1925-1939 - Schilling, Donald G. (International Journal of African Historical Studies, 1976)
The line between education and politics was often blurred or nonexistent in colonial Kenya. Under a political system dominated by white settlers and administrators, policy makers were required to create an educational structure for the indigenous people in harmony with the political realities of the day. For colonial officials education, if properly regulated, provided a useful mechanism for social and political control. As a result, educational development and policy formation were political processes with significant implications for the roles of whites and blacks in Kenya. For the latter education was a potential key to greater opportunity as well as a weapon against the inflated European charge that they were uncivilized and therefore unprepared to participate in the political life of the colony. Not surprisingly, the first black representative on the Kenya Legislative Council, Eliud Mathu, entered that white preserve in 1944 armed with an Oxford degree. Educational development was almost always an important prerequisite for political advancement, not only in Kenya but throughout colonial Africa. 2 Education had political implications; similarly, African political activity frequently focused on educational issues.
