Physical deformities in Nigerian schools - Enwemeka, Chukuka S.; Enwemeka, Chukuka S. (International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1984)
A total of 3,144 Nigerian school children, adolescents and adults were clinically screened for physical deformities in order to identify and classify the various forms of physical deformities found in Nigerian schools; ascertain cause; determine the health, educational and rehabilitation needs of the subjects and offer suggestions as to ways of meeting these needs. Nine hundred and seventy-two (30.9%) of the subjects were identified with various physical deformities including Non-rachitic Primary Knee Deformities; Pes Planus; Talipes Equinus Varus; Scoliosis; Limb Length Discrepancy; Cubitus Valgus and Hallux Valgus. Statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of male and female subjects who had Genu Valgum (p less than 0.005); Genu Recurvatum (p less than 0.001) and Cubitus Valgus (p less than 0.001). Subjects with Limb Length Discrepancies had a significant mean limb Length Difference between the right and left lower extremities (p less than 0.001). A majority of the physical deformities (92.1%) were attributed to congenital factors. Considering reports from numerous countries, the prevalence of scoliosis in this cohort may be said to be low. In general, it may be concluded that physical deformities in Nigerian schools are mild to moderate in nature; with a few cases requiring correction by physiotherapy or orthopaedic surgery.

The evolution of a thrust fault system: processes of rupture initiation, propagation and termination in the 1980 El Asnam (Algeria) earthquake - King, Geoffrey; Yielding, Graham (Geophysical Journal International, 1984)
We discuss work completed to date on the 1980 Algerian earthquake, and introduce a description of the earthquake in terms of rupture propagation using the nomenclature of fracture mechanics. Field and teleseismic studies have shown the earthquake fault to be divided into three major thrust segments: rupture began at the SW end of the system and propagated along successive segments. Geological sections reveal that different fault segments have suffered different amounts of displacement in the past. The amount of geological displacement increases systematically from almost zero at the SW end of the fault to several hundred metres further NE; faulting at the SW end is very young and appears to be extending the thrust system along strike. The aftershock data of Ouyed et al. reveal that strike-slip aftershocks occur beyond the SW end of the thrust fault. These are accommodating compression by conjugate strike-slip faulting on north- and west-trending planes. This network of conjugate faults plays a crucial role in the initiation of major eathquakes on the thrust system, and may be regarded as a ‘plastic’ zone beyond the end of the thrust fault. Increasing horizontal stress causes the strike-slip system to evolve into a zig-zag network of thrusts which is partly controlled by the pre-existing strike-slip faults. Finally, a through-going thrust can develop and leads to catastrophic rupture along the main fault plane. To describe the propagation of the main shock, we extend Aki's concept of geometric barriers and divide these into two types. In conservative barriers the slip vector is common to both fault planes, whereas in non-conservative barriers the slip vectors are different on the two fault planes that meet at the barrier. Although both types of barrier arrest dynamic rupture, only nonconservative barriers need produce aftershocks, as off-fault deformation is required to accommodate the difference in slip vectors. By considering the aftershock zones as areas of distributed deformation, we show that fracture toughness in the Earth is not a material constant but is related to fault geometry, and therefore changes as fault systems evolve. The current south-westwards growth of the El Asnam thrust system can be seen as the latest phase in an evolution consisting of periods of along-strike extension alternating with periods of increasing net displacement during which no fault growth occurs: these two types of behaviour allow a segmented fault system to be produced.

Observations of Trichomonas vaginalis infections at the University Teaching Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria. - Umeche, N.; Ezeoke, A. C. J. (PubMed, 1984)
The pattern of Trichomonas vaginalis infections at the Outpatient Clinic of the University Teaching Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria was determined for the two-year period (January 1981 - December 1982). Of the 5520 patients examined in 1981, T. vaginalis was found in 10 males (0.11%) and 57 females (1.03%). Of the 2511 patients examined in 1982, the parasite was found in 27 males (1.07%) and 31 females (1.20%). A few prepubertal cases were observed. The increasing significance of T. vaginalis as a public health problem in this area is discussed.

Effect of riboflavin supplementation on riboflavin nutriture of a secondary school population in Nigeria - Ajayi, Olufunmike Alalade; James, OlapadeA (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984)
Riboflavin status was assessed in 42 secondary school students before and after supplementing the food intake with 5 mg riboflavin daily for 7 days. Energy, protein, and riboflavin intakes were determined on foods actually consumed by each student. Riboflavin nutriture was based on urinary riboflavin excretion and erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient. The energy and riboflavin intakes of the students were 68 to 82% and 80 to 88%, respectively, of the recommended allowance. The basal urinary riboflavin excretion was 0.335 mg/g creatinine and increased significantly to 3.51 mg/g creatinine after supplementation. The basal erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient values indicated an overall prevalence of 38% biochemical ariboflavinosis (erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient greater than 1.30) and dropped significantly (p less than 0.001) from 1.26 to 1.08. The results confirm that urinary riboflavin is of limited value in the assessment of riboflavin status while erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient more precisely assesses metabolic availability of riboflavin and more accurately detects biochemical ariboflavinosis.

House-to-House and School Lameness Surveys in Cameroon: A Comparison of Two Methods for Estimating the Prevalence and Annual Incidence of Paralytic Poliomyelitis - Heymann, David L. (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1984)
House-to-house and school lameness surveys were conducted in one urban and two rural regions of the United Republic of Cameroon. As in many other African nations, estimates of annual incidence by survey were significantly higher than those established by routine surveillance, and greater than 80% of all cases of paralysis were found to have occurred in children younger than 36 months of age. House-to-house surveys were more than six times more costly than school surveys and undoubtedly gave annual incidence rates closer to true rates. The value of the less costly school survey should not be overlooked, however, if base-line data are required at frequent intervals for use in the evaluation of control measures.

Overseas Training and National Development Objectives in Sub-Saharan Africa - Moock, Joyce Lewinger (Comparative Education Review, 1984)
This article focuses on the impact of overseas training on national development objectives in sub-Saharan Africa. That old topic is resurfacing as international assistance agencies once again consider support of higher education as a fundamental, long-range strategy for accelerating growth and improving social equity within low-income countries of the region. During the past 2 decades, economic development has been slow in most of the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. Sluggish agricultural performance, combined with rapid rates of population growth and a balanceof-payments crisis, have led to pessimistic projections of African development in the 1980s, particularly in the face of continuing global recession. Recent diagnostic reports of Africa's special economic problems by the World Bank and other international agencies point to serious shortcomings in existing policies, particularly those affecting agriculture, and to widespread weaknesses in planning, decision making, and managerial capacities with resulting overextension of the public sector. Underlying these limitations is a still acute scarcity of highly qualified, indigenous professionals with the skills that are critical to devising and carrying out effective strategies for national development. Foreign study is, of course, but one option for meeting Africa's needs for higher education, and it is the option which received the most severe criticism by the international community during the 1970s when priorities shifted from providing postsecondary education to meeting the basic educational needs of the poor. Under colonial rule and in the years immediately following independence, when local provision of higher education was negligible or nonexistent, foreign study was considered the fastest route to expanding the number of Africans with qualifications that would enable them to replace expatriate manpower in the public and private sectors of the economy. Moreover, development pundits believed that returns to investment in overseas training would inevitably trickle down to benefit all levels of society and all sectors of the economy. The guiding principle behind the provision of overseas scholarships was the proper allocation of disciplines and subject matter to fit occupational slots in the developing economy. As national objectives concerning economic growth became coupled with the equitable distribution of benefits and broad-based participation

Effect of neonatal conductive hearing loss on neuronal size in the ventral cochlear nucleus of guinea pigs - O'Connell, Nancy A. (The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984)
The left ear of newborn guinea pigs was closed by removing the skin and cartilage of the external auditory meatus and pulling the surrounding tissue over the opening with silk sutures. At 60 days of age the animals were anesthetized with chloral hydrate and auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were measured before and after destroying the intact right ear. After ABR testing the animals were killed and their cochleas were examined histologically. Right and left brainstems were embedded in paraffin, serially sectioned and stained with cresyl violet. The cross-sectional area of four different cell types was measured, using a total of 210 cells of each type from each side. For all four groups; large spherical cells, small spherical cells, pale globular cells, and octopus cells, soma size was significantly smaller (P < 0.01) on the left side. This result for guinea pigs, a precocial animal, agrees with earlier findings for an altrical animal the mouse [D. B. Webster, Exp. Neurol. 79, 130–140 (1983)].

Prevalence of Headache Among Nigerian University Students - Ogunyemi, Adedoyin (Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 1984)
SYNOPSIS Using a questionnaire, the prevalence of headache as a primary symptom was investigated amongstudents of University of Ilorin. A total of 448 female and 1308 male students who constitute 72% and 69%respectively of the entire female and male student population of the University were studied. 61% of the females and 69% of the males suffered from recurrent headache. Classical migraine wasfound among 5.1% of the female and 3.4% of the male students respectively. Common migraine occurredabout 3 times as frequently as classical migraine. Muscle contraction ‐ Vascular headache was thecommonest type of headache and was diagnosed in 24% of the female and 33% of the male students.Tension headache affected 16.5% and 9.9% of the female and male students respectively, while clusterheadache was the affliction of 3 male students who constitute about 0.2% of the male student population. The commonest precipitating factors for the headache were mental and physical exhaustion, heat andmental stress for female students, and for male students, they were mental stress and alcohol. It isconcluded that recurrent headache is a very common symptom among the University students of Nigeria.

Effects of ammonium sulfate aerosol exposure on lung structure of normal and elastase-impaired rats and guinea pigs - Busch, R. H.; Buschbom, R.L.; Cannon, W.C.; Lauhala, K.E.; Miller, Frederick J.; Graham, Judith A.; Smith, L.G. (Environmental Research, 1984)
Groups of rats and guinea pigs with normal lungs and others with elastase-induced emphysema were exposed to NH4NO3 aerosols of 0.60 mass median aerodynamic diameter at 1 mg/m3 for 6 hr/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks. Morphologic and morphometric studies were performed on lungs perfused with cacodylate-buffered 2% glutaraldehyde under 20 cm H2O pressure at necropsy. The tissues were studied for pathologic change by light and electron microscopy; emphysema was evaluated by subgross and microscopic methods, including changes in mean alveolar chord length using scanning electron microscopy techniques. Elastase produced emphysema to a degree quantifiable by all criteria studied; however, it apparently obscured the effects of nitrate inhalation. The NH4NO3 exposure (compared to air alone) tended to increase values for pulmonary parameters in normal animals of both species and to decrease them in elastase-treated animals. The NH4NO3 exposure increased values for lung volume in rats, percentage area affected in elastase-treated rats, and chord length beta in normal animals of both species. The responses to NH4NO3 were slight (P less than 0.10) and were not accompanied by any detectable changes in alveolar structure. Therefore, the effects of NH4NO3 at this exposure level and duration, are regarded as biologically insignificant for rats and guinea pigs.

IES Arrow-Dot Performance of Nigerian Professionals, Medical Students, and Psychiatric in-Patients - Cb, Omololu; Ohwovoriole, A.E (Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1984)
We chose the Arrow-Dot subtest of the IES test (Dombrose & Slobin, 1958) because we are attempting to identify a culture-free test to use with psychiauic patients. To assess the validity, we compared the Id, Ego and Superego performance of medical students and professionals who were assumed to be ego-response-oriented and psychiatric in-patients who were assumed to be more id- or superego-response-oriented. Subjects randomly selected were 38 Nigerian first-year medical students in 1982, all of whom had attended private primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. Their families would be labeled middle to upper middle class. The age range was from 16 to 20 yr. Also, 38 Nigerian professionals within the College of Medicine were selected. Their minimum degree was M.Sc. The ages ranged from 30 to 45 yr. From the psychlatry service 38 Nigerian in-patients, ages ranged from 16 to 45 yr., were selected; 80% were schizophrenic. Education ranged from high school graduate to completion of professional school. In 1983, 21 Nigerian medical students and 21 psychiatric in-patients were selected using the same criteria and given the test individually. Means and standard deviations for the 1982 and 1983 groups on IES scores appear in the table. r ratios indicate that E and S scores of professionals and patients are sig

Training in Psychiatry for Developing Countries (with special reference to Africa) - Cox, John (The bulletin of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1984)
It was bold, as well as shrewd, to have held the 4th Conference of the African Psychiatry Association in London (Institute of Psychiatry) rather than Lagos or Lusaka. Yet Dr A. C. Raman (Consultant, St Augustine's Hospital and Secretary General of the Association) should be well satisfied with the rewards for his hard work. There were about 100 participants (the majority from Africa) who debated with vigour and courtesy the diverse facets of the conference theme. To have discussed these controversial training matters at the institution which, together with the department of psychiatry in Edinburgh, had influenced considerably the development of psychiatry in Nigeria, as well as in other Anglophone African countries, could have misfired. However, for most participants the conference presented a rare opportunity for legitimate nostalgia, as well as the chance to contribute to discussion on the present training of psychiatrists in Africa.

Management of Uterine Fibroids at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital - Omu, Alexander E.; Ihejerika, I J; Tabowei, G (Tropical Doctor, 1984)
One hundred and eighty cases of uterine fibroids out of the two hundred treated in a gynaecological unit in a 7-year period are reviewed. The incidence of uterine fibroids among gynaecological conditions was 3.2% and it accounted for 3.6% of the operations. The peak age incidence was at 31-40 years (46%). Twenty per cent of those affected were grand multiparae. The commonest clinical features were abdominal swelling, infertility, abdominal pain, menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea. Most of the patients were treated surgically with myomectomy (68%), mainly on account of the low parity and age. There was increased morbidity among those who had hysterectomy; 2 deaths occurred in this group. We have advocated liberal use of myomectomy , with its preservation of menstrual and reproductive function.

Training needs for veterinarians in changing Africa - Atang, P. (Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 1984)
In the last several decades there have been considerable changes in livestock development in the African continent. Disease control facilities have improved and the disease situations greatly changed with the absence of major epizootics that used to be great “killers”. The emphasis in livestock development should now be directed towards increased livestock production. A number of veterinary schools have been started in some African countries since they obtained independence in the early sixties. Despite the increase in the number of veterinarians in Africa in general, the increase in livestock productivity has not been proportionally great. This may, in part, be due to the type of training offered to the veterinarians over the years. Veterinary education and training programmes have to be adjusted so that veterinarians meet the needs of the changing society. Suggestions are made on how to improve the training of veterinarians by modifying the standard under-graduate training syllabi to give more emphasis to preventive medicine including public health and zoonoses. At the post-graduate level more emphasis should be given to livestock production and to introduce subjects such as development planning, economics, sociology, management of game, fish and zoo animals. Efforts should also be made to build up a group of specialists in different fields, such as parasitology, pathology, virology, genetics and ecology to man the laboratories and veterinary schools, and in health and diseases of animals of sport, houdehold pets and companion animals to cater to persons living in the big cities. Post-graduate training calls for very close collaboration between institutes in Africa and those in developed countries.

Volcanic Rocks in the Samburu Hills, Northern Kenya - Koyaguchi, Takehiro (African Study Monographs, 1984)
Volcanic rocks of the Samburu Hills are composed mainly of basaltic lava flows (ankaramite, olivine basalt and hawaiite) intercalated with differentiated rock lava flows and welded tuffs (trachyte and alkali rhyolite). Basaltic rocks of various ages, from Miocene to Recent, were collected from an area of 10 x I 0 km 2 (Suguta Area) and their petrography and petrochemistry are described. A decrease in degree of silica-undersaturation with time from alkali basalts to transitional basalts can be recog nized. Successive decrease in depth of segregation of primary magmas can explain the temporal variation in chemical composition.

CONSUMER KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF KENYAN (AFRICA) COLLEGE STUDENTS - Lytton, Ruth H.; Garman, E. Thomas; Machooka, Naseem (Journal of consumer studies and home economics (Print), 1984)
The study was designed to measure the consumer knowledge and attitudes of college students enrolled at a representative Kenyan college. It was hypothesized that six variables (sex, academic level in college, academic major, rural or urban upbringing, having work experience and having completed a course in consumer education) would not be associated with achievement on the 47‐item test or with the seven consumer attitude questions. The instrument was developed by the researcher for use in Kenya. Validity was checked by Kenyans as well as experts from the U.S. in test construction. Following a pre‐test in Kenya, during the first week of classes in 1980, all students (n = 508) completed the instrument. Analysis of variance and chi‐square tests were used to analyse the data. Achievement was 31.3 (67.9%) on the consumer education test which was considered a moderate score. Having completed a consumer education course was one variable associated with higher scores on the test. Students majoring in Dairy and Food Science Technology as well as Home Economics did better than other majors on the test. In general, the students strongly supported attitudes expected of rational and responsible consumers.

Fission-Track, K-Ar Age Determinations and Palaeomagnetic Measurements of Miocene Volcanic Rocks in the Western Area of Baragoi, Northern Kenya: Ages of Hominoids - Matsuda, T.; Torii, Mitsuo; Koyaguchi, Takehiro; Makinouchi, Takeshi; Mitsushio, Hiromi; Ishida, Shirô (African Study Monographs, 1984)
Miocene rocks in the west of Baragoi, northern Kenya, consist of the Nachola. ~a Aiteputh, Namurungule and Kongia Formations in ascending order. Two kinds of hominoid. Kenyapithecus and a large hominoid (Samburu hominoid). were found from the Nachola and Namurungule Formations. respectively, in summer 1982. Two fission-track and six K-Ar ages were determined on the volcanic rocks to clarify the ages of the hominoid fossils. Paleomagnetic recon naissance was also conducted for the sake of magnetostratigarphlc correlation. The ages of the Nachola, Aka Aiteputh, Namurungule and Kongia Formations were around 11, 13. 7 and 6.4 Ma. respectively. The ages of Kenyapithecus and Samburu hominoid are considered to be the Middle Miocene and Late Miocene. respectively.

The influence of health education on breast feedingpractices in Benin City, Nigeria - Obi, Jennifer; Osuhor, P.C. (Public Health, 1984)
Many mothers from developing countries including Nigeria are introducing their babies to artificial milk feeding early in life. This is probably due to the rapidly increasing female education whereby working mothers had to go back to work 6–8 weeks after delivery. In this study, only 31·4% of the mothers wholly breast fed their babies at confinement in spite of the health educational activities of breast feeding practices during antenatal clinic (A.N.C.) attendances. Breast feeding declined rapidly after discharge from hospital, and artificial milk feeding was well established at 6–8 weeks, post confinement, for socio—economic reasons. It is suggested that for these working mothers, bottle-feeding practices should be welldemonstrated to them so as to minimize the ill effects that ignorance and malutilization of the artificial milk may cause. For the non-working mothers, health educational activities on the advantages of breast feeding and breast milk should be continuous and continuing.

School age pregnancies in western Nigeria: parents and products - Oyedeji, GA (Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1984)
Thirty-three babies and their mothers, all school girls, identified out of a total of 576 admissions to the Paediatric unit of the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa , Nigeria over a three month period were studied. Twenty (60.0%) of the babies were newborn, nine (45%) of whom were premature. Jaundice and infections were other common diagnoses in the neonates. Among the 13 children aged over one month protein-energy malnutrition, gastroenteritis and pneumonia were the commonest reasons for admission. Of the total 33, five (38.5%) had had previous admissions and two (6%) died. Both the numbers of premature neonates and of malnourished older children born to young mothers were significantly higher than those of similar aged admissions born to older mothers (P less than 0.001, in both cases). Thirty-two (97%) mothers were unmarried teenagers and there was a disparity between the academic classes and ages at conception in 15 (45.4%) of the mothers. Whilst significant numbers of the mothers were poorly adjusted to the demands of motherhood, varying numbers of the fathers were young, unemployed, in school and negative in their attitudes to the pregnancies and their products. Suggestions are offered for meeting the challenges posed by school age pregnancy and parenthood in a developing country.

Teaching concepts of energy to nigerian children in the 7–11 year‐old age range - Urevbu, Andrew O. (Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984)
Abstract This study investigated the level of concept attainment of selected energy concepts for possible inclusion in the Nigerian (Bendel State) Primary Science Project (BPSP). Using an experimental design suggested by Solomon (1949), subjects were taught energy concepts at three levels—descriptive, comparative and quantitative. Results showed that levels of concept comprehension were hierarchical with a signficant decrease in achievement from descriptive to comparative and quantitative concepts. The results of this study suggest the need to describe levels of concept for particular grades in the elementary school curriculum and to match curriculum with thinking strategies of children.

Assessment of the impacts of climate variability and change on the hydrology of Africa - Sircoulon, Jacques; Lebel, Thierry; Arnell, N.W. (1984)
Africa, with an area of 30.5 million km2, is the Earth's second largest continent, and presents the most extreme climatic contrasts. The Sahara is the largest and most extreme desert; Mount Cameroon is one of the rainiest places in the world; and the Congo River, which accounts for 30% of the runoff of the entire continent, is the world's second-ranking river in terms of discharge. This great diversity of climates and hydrological structures has been accentuated by very sharp variations over time and space.

On Marxism and Ethiopian Student Radicalism in North America - Demmellash, Tesfaye (Monthly Review, 1984)
The ideals and aims which motivate radical third world student movements generally reflect broader popular aspirations for political and socioeconomic change. Such movements are political in the sense that, going beyond narrow educational goals and sectional concerns, they champion the interests and struggles of oppressed classes and nations. Indeed, in underdeveloped societies where classes tend to be weakly grounded in forces and relations of production, and as such lack adequate material and ideological capacities to act as autonomous agents of socioeconomic change in the sense originally theorized by Marx, progressive student movements and other "unconventional" carriers of revolutionary consciousness and practice acquire special political importance.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.

A climosequence of soils on late quaternary volcanic ash in highland Papua New Guinea - Chartres, Colin J.; Pain, C. F. (Geoderma, 1984)
Some chemical, physical and mineralogical properties of three soils developed in volcanic ash at altitudes of 1040 m, 1720 m, and 2350 m in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province are presented. Silt-fraction mineralogy and total chemical analyses show that fresh ash occurs in the upper approximately 30 cm of profile at each site. This fresh ash is probably only a few thousand years old and overlies an older weathered ash (Tomba Tephra;more than 50000 years old). At the lowest site the majority of the primary minerals (predominantly amphiboles, volcanic glass and felspar, and some pyroxenes) have been decomposed by weathering to produce a high clay content. With increasing altitude, greater proportions of silt-sized, unweathered and partially altered primary minerals are recognised and molar ratios of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium to aluminum increase accordingly. In the clay fractions, allophane with Al/Si ratios of approximately 2.0 is dominant at the highest site, whereas with decreasing altitude lower proportions of allophane occur, Al/Si ratios decline and halloysite becomes dominant. Gibbsite is found in all three profiles

Towards a Future for School Psychology in Egypt - Abou-Hatab, Fouad A.-L. (School Psychology International, 1984)
This paper attempts to present a brief history of school psychology in Egypt, to outline its major trends, to evaluate its current status, and to give some guides for its future. The analysis shows that when psychology was presented for the first time in 1929 it took the form of educational psychology. In 1934 a version of educational psychology similar to school psychology was introduced in the Higher Institute of Education (now Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University), with the progress of a 'testing movement' and the foundation of the first psychological clinic for school children and adolescents. For more than 50 years both psychometric and clinical movements achieved gains and losses. At present, however, the school psychologist, unlike the social worker, is not recognized as a member of the school services team. Speculations for the future are based on Bardon's (1982) thesis of the 'industrial-organizational model', which implies that the psychometric and clinical functions are necessary but not sufficient.

A standardized-item survey of drug taking was administered to 239 Nigerian students attending three American universities. Alcohol was the most widely used drug in the sample (current use by 64%), followed by tobacco (31.8% current use), cannabis (13.9%), and amphetamine and other stimulants (5.3%). Differences are reported between males and females, and among age groups and college levels. Levels of drug taking were high but no higher than those commonly reported for U.S. college students.

The effectiveness of laboratory photomicrography for studying microbiology in Nigerian secondary schools - Ali, Anthony (Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984)
Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of using laboratory photomicrography as a motivational technique in the teaching‐learning processes involved in the study of microbiology in Nigerian secondary schools. This was done by comparing the posttest scores and the questionnaire responses made by three equal groups of randomly sampled and assigned students taught the same microbiology content material by lectures and photomicrography used as an adjunct to the laboratory, lectures, and laboratory activities and lectures alone. Each group was taught by a different microbiology teacher. The results of this study, as shown in Tables I through V permitted the conclusion that students taught microbiology by lectures with photomicrography activities achieved the highest posttest mean score and expressed the opinion that they were highly motivated by this teaching method. Students taught microbiology by lectures with laboratory activities achieved lower mean posttest score and expressed the opinion that they were only fairly motivated by this teaching approach. Students taught microbiology by lectures alone achieved the lowest mean posttest score and expressed the opinion that they were least motivated by this teaching approach.

ATTITUDES OF NIGERIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS TOWARDS FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS - Atolagbe, Emman O.; Otubanjo, Femi (Social Behavior and Personality, 1984)
College students in developing countries constitute a vibrant and restive segment of the society. They also enjoy an enhanced status by virtue of their rarity with regards to the larger population. The writers recently conducted a study to assess the attitude of college students to human right issues. On the whole, a sizeable portion (more than 60% of sample) of the 570 subjects believe that fundamental human rights exist in Nigeria. However, 50% of those sampled had no confidence in the law enforcement agencies of Nigeria. 40% were also very critical of the judiciary. Overall, the results seem to indicate that University students in Nigeria seem to have a fairly positive assessment of the institutional, political and legal opportunities for the enjoyment and defence of human rights in Nigeria.

When asked about the number of children they wanted to have, the majority of students (86%) wanted from 2 to 4 children. Mean family sizes were 3.7 children for PNG males, 2.7 for PNG females, 2.5 for Australian males, and 2.9 for Australian females. 43% of PNG males wanted 4 or more children, but only 27% of Australian male students wanted this number. The most striking result is that PNG female students expected to have 2 or 3 children only, while their mean family size was slightly lower than Australian females. Thus, if values of children reflect fertility behavior, the analysis of values and costs of children would be expected to reveal a somewhat strong similarity between Australian youth and PNG female students, or at least a marked difference in the perceptions of PNG male and female students. As predicted, the economic role of children was more important to PNG students, and considerably less so to young Australians. Predicted differences in personal aspirations were less clear cut, but young Australians cited more frequently the restrictions and economic costs in having children. In addition, Australians emphasized more than PNG students the pleasure, pride, fulfilment and achievement in having children. As expected in a low fertility country, Australian students mentioned more often the love and companionship of children, although students in both countries had similar views about the impact of children on the marital relationship. Lineage and religious benefits from children were more salient to PNG youth.

The areal distribution, stratigraphy and major element chemistry of the Wadi Natash Volcanic series, Eastern Desert, Egypt - Crawford, William A.; Coulter, D.H.; Hubbard, H. Brad (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1984)
Abstract Flow remnants comprising the Wadi Natash Volcanic Field lie 125 km ENE of Aswan, Egypt, along the boundary between the Nubia Formation and the Precambrian basement complex. Three flow units are separated by volcaniclastic sedimentary sequences. The chemical and stratigraphic data show that each flow unit belongs to the sodic-rich olivine alkali basalt series grading upward from alkali basalt through hawaiite to mugearite and culminating in benmorite or trachyte. K/Ar dates near 90 m.y. are corroborated by Late Cretaceous leaf imprints found in the intercalacted volcaniclastic sediments. The age of these volcanic rocks suggests that they are not directly associated with Red Sea rifting. Their alkaline nature may imply they were involved with a prerifting doming process. Alternatively these volcanic rocks may belong to the intraplate, bimodal alkali-olivine basalt suite unrelated to Red Sea rifting.

The Problems of Management of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasms at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria - Diejomaoh, F. M. E.; Omu, Alexander E.; Okpere, EE; Ezimokhai, M.; Tabowei, O.; Ajabor, L. N. (1984)
Analysis of 31 cases of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, over a 71/2 year period (1/1/75 to 6/30/82) was carried out. The incidence of this disease was 1:656 deliveries. Although it was more prevalent in grandmultipara, it occurred in all parities and ages. The main clinical features were secondary amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, uterine enlargement, and vaginal secondaries. The most common gestational antecedent event of gestational trophoblastic disease was a normal pregnancy. This was believed to have contributed to the high overall mortality of 35.5%. Numerous shortcomings during the management of these cases (inadequate laboratory facilities, shortage of reagents, shortage of drugs) were highlighted.

Uranium and thorium in Late Proterozoic volcanic rocks from northwestern Africa - Dostál, J.; Dupuy, C.; Chikhauoi, M.; Zentilli, M. (Chemical Geology, 1984)
Dostal, J., Dupuy, C., Chikhauoi, M. and Zentilli, M., 1984. Uranium and thorium in Late Proterozoic volcanic rocks from northwestern Africa. Chem. Geol., 42: 297–306. The abundances of U and Th in the Late Proterozoic calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of northwest Africa which have undergone low-grade metamorphism, are highly variable. Dacites and rhyolites have higher contents of these elements than basic rocks although there is no obvious correlation of U and Th with SiO v In the acidic rocks, U and Th are closely related to K, whereas in the basic and most intermediate lavas, the two elements correlate with immobile incompatible elements such as Zr, Nb, La and Ce. In comparison with equivalent fresh Recent rocks, the acidic volcanic rocks have lower contents of U and Th. As expressed by the low U/K and Th/K ratios, U and Th in these rocks are also depleted relative to K. The depletion of U and Th, which is probably related to secondary processes, suggests that the acidic volcanic rocks from northwestern Africa may have been an important source of radioactive elements for concentration in deposits.

Guidance for Submission: Social Control and Guidance in Schools for Black Pupils in South Africa - Dovey, Ken; Mason, Mark (British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 1984)
Abstract The use of a school guidance service to transmit the economic and cultural interests of the ruling group(s) in a country is explored through the case-study of guidance in the Republic of South Africa, and in particular the introduction of guidance as a subject in Black schools in 1981. An analysis of the syllabus for guidance in Black schools reveals a social-control strategy on the part of the power group, which is different to that used within the White guidance service. Whereas the White service emphasises cultural interests, the Black-school syllabus stresses the economic interests of the ruling group. Each service, however, reflects the tension between economic and cultural interests, and the guidance situation in South Africa demonstrates the complex relationship between these interests, as well as that between group power relations and the nature of guidance services. The case-study also comments upon the relationship between the power of the ruling group in South Africa and the degree to which its economic and cultural interests are made explicit in the syllabus of its guidance services.

Attitudes of a group of Egyptian medical students towards family planning - El-Mehairy, Theresa (Social Science & Medicine, 1984)
One hundred and six students in their last two years of medical studies at an Egyptian national university answered a questionnaire providing insight into their attitudes towards family planning. Results indicate that about a quarter of the male respondents viewed family planning as intrinsically against Islam; this is in contrast to a much smaller fraction of the female sample. Most students were critical of the efficiency of the family planning services currently available in Egypt. Suggestions for improving such facilities were expressed and some emphasis was placed on improving the working and living conditions for the rural physicians.

Streptococcus mutans Levels and Biotypes in Egyptian and Saudi Arabian Students During the First Months of Residency in the United States - Farghaly, Mahassen M.; Eklund, Stephen A.; Loesche, Walter J. (Journal of Dental Research, 1984)
Several studies indicated that serotype/biotype c strains are the most common on a global basis, but that regional differences may occur relative to other serotype/biotypes. Of particular interest is the observation that individuals residing in the Middle East have higher incidences of serotype e and d strains relative to their levels in American citizens. This could reflect exposure to different Streptococcus mutans serotypes during the period in which the teeth are colonized, or might reflect other factors local to the region, such as diet. The purpose of the present study was to observe Egyptian and Saudi Arabian students during the first four months after their arrival in the United States, in order to determine whether this change in habitat affected the levels and biotypes of S. mutans. The results of this study showed that biotype c strains were the most prevalent in saliva and plaque of these Egyptians and Saudi Arabian students, followed by biotype e and biotype d. There was a drop in the number of S. mutans in the saliva and the proportions of S. mutans in the plaque after two months of residence in the United States, followed by a significant increase after four months of residence. This increase was most noticeable in subjects who had a higher number of decayed surfaces. In these subjects, the percentage of S. mutans in pooled occlusal plaque increased significantly, from 6.1 to 13.2%.

Abstract The isotopic compositions of deuterium, oxygen‐18, tritium and nitrogen‐15 were determined for some groundwater samples from Wadi El‐Natrun area. The distribution pattern of the environmental isotopes could be explained by the differences in the degree of mixing between three major sources of recharge to the Wadi El‐Natrun aquifer: River Nile water, paleowater and drainage water from Nubarya reclamation project. The analysis of 15N‐nitrate indicates a mixing process

A critical evaluation of teaching practice in geography in Egypt - Kader, Ahmed Abdel Monem Abdel (1984)
The central problem of this research is 'How the supervision and assessment process for the geography student-teachers in Egypt can he improved?’. This problem is of high significance for a number of reasons : First there is a lack of clear criteria for the assessment of the geography students. Secondly, college students themselves have no handbook to guide their performance. Thirdly, the problem becomes more acute when the number of students reaches several thousands, while the number of experienced supervisors does not increase accordingly. The research is sub-divided into several areas : a) a review of the related literature; b) an assessment of the range of influences which have shaped the development of teacher education in Egypt and the emergence of a system of teaching practice as an integral component of that educational process; c) an evaluation of the de facto status of teaching practice in the El Sharkia Governorate as a case study; d) an assessment of current practices of supervision and assessment of geography students in England and Wales; e) the formulation of a more appropriate framework for supervision and schedule for assessment for use in the Egyptian context and f) an improvement in the entire system by which student-teachers of geography are supervised and assessed in teaching, practice and making recommendations for further lines of research. The results of this research will contribute to the development of the geography teacher preparation and training in particular and to the education of Egypt in general.

The survey and mass-teratment of helminthic infections with pyrantel pamoate was carried out on 140 school children in Ile-Ife, Western State of Nigeria. It was marked that 129 children were positive for Ascaris lumbricoides (As. lumbricoides), Trichuris trichiura (Tr. trichiura) or Necator americanus (Ne. americanus). Of the parasitepositive children, 82 could be allocated for the treatment with pyrantel pamoate. They were divided on the basis of having single, double or triple infections of the following intestinal nematodes; As. lumbricoides, Tr. trichiura and Ne. americanus.The results demonstrate that pyrantel pamoate is effective in curing As. lumbricoides almost completely, but is less effective against Tr. trichiura and Ne. americanus

Education and inequality: The case of Maragoli, Kenya - Martín, Christopher J. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1984)
It is often maintained that mere qualitative expansion of schooling in a fee-paying system tends to increase rather than reduce educational and economic inequalities. Liberal views of education as a social leveller are rejected. Critics of the latter views claim that improvements in educational opportunity gravitate towards already advantaged sectors of society who simply have their advantage compounded. The disadvantaged, on the other hand gradually lose their grip on the educational ladder. In this paper these notions will be criticised on the grounds that they assume a determinate and mechanical relation between educational and economic position. In addition it will be seen, in the light of evidence from Western Kenya, that under conditions in which the bulk of households are closely connected to wage labour markets (which select recruits according to educational criteria) it is the popular social classes which have taken up the slack in increased educational provision. The previously advantaged educational position of the middle class and larger farmers is being steadily eroded.

Exporting European Core Values: British and French Influences on Education in Mauritius - Moore, Jill (European Journal of Education, 1984)
The question of whether European trends in education are relevant to Third World countries, to which the preceding issue of this journal addressed itself, might be reversed to consider whether the experience of certain Third World multicultural societies could illuminate debates on education in European nations more newly conscious of their own multiculturalism. To this end it is the objective of this paper to identify those values which the French settlers and British colonial administrators carried with them abroad in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and to examine the extent to which they have been retained in one specific context. The approach adopted for this analysis combines the use of an ideal-typical normative model of the kind set out by Brian Holmes for use in comparative studies in education (Holmes, 1981), with the theory of core values and an overarching framework as presented by J. J. Smolicz (1983a) in a paper an edited version of which appears on p. 11 of this issue of the European 3rournal of Education. After discussion of these models, they are tested in the context of Mauritius which has long experience as a multicultural society. When ceded to Britain in 1810, a promise was made that the customs, laws and religion of the (French) islanders would be respected. After the nineteenth century abolition of slavery there was an influx of indentured labourers from the Indian subcontinent to work the sugar cane plantations. Other ethnic groups, especially Moslems and Chinese, settled as traders in the 720 square miles of the island. Mauritius gained political independence from Britain in 1968 with first Labour then Coalition Governments under Dr (later Sir) Seewoosagur Ramgoolam as Prime Minister until 1982, when a more radical Government under Dr Aneerood Jugnauth was elected Finally, in order to relate recent debates to the present day, a third model is offered derived from M. K. Asante (1980), which is intended to help explain or predict the likelihood of conflict or harmony between cultural groups.

A study of heavy metal pollution from motor vehicle emissions and its effect on roadside soil, vegetation and crops in Nigeria - Ndiokwere, Ch. L. (Environmental Pollution Series B, Chemical and Physical, 1984)
The effect of automotive emissions of Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn on soil, vegetation and crops along a major federal highway with high traffic density has been investigated. The general decrease in concentrations of these metals with distance from the highway indicates their relation to traffic. Higher accumulations of the metals have been observed on vegetation and soil samples near to the highway than on crops and vegetables from sites a little farther away. This is attributed mainly to aerial deposition of the metal particulates from motor vehicles. Considerable amounts of these metals can be removed by washing the samples studied with deionised water.

A study of some factors influencing attitudes to teaching the handicapped among Nigerian student teachers - Obani, Tim; Doherty, Jim (International Journal of Educational Development, 1984)
The main aim of this study is to study the attitudes towards teaching handicapped pupils among a group of Nigerian student teachers. A 13-item Likert-type scale, specially constructed to measure attitudes towards the teaching of handicapped pupils, was administered to 149 Nigerian student teachers, of differing ethnic and educational backgrounds. The respondents were also questioned about their preferences for teaching certain types of handicapped pupils. It was found that female student teachers had a much more favourable attitude towards teaching the handicapped than male student teachers. Student teachers under twenty-five had more favourable attitudes towards teaching the handicapped than older student teachers. Ibo students showed the most favourable attitudes towards teaching the handicapped, and specialist-trained students showed more favourable attitudes towards teaching the handicapped pupils than their counterparts who had not been specially trained. When it came to preferences for teaching certain categories of handicap, a clear sex difference appeared. Almost half of the 101 males nominated teaching the mentally handicapped as their first choice, with only about 10% selecting the visually handicapped as their first choice. The situation was reversed in the case of the females, with over a third selecting visual handicap as their first choice, and only about 10% selecting mental retardation as their first choice.

The economics of teacher supply in Nigeria. - Obasi, Emmanuel. (1984)
The thesis looks at the Government Bursary Scheme for Higher Education Students in Nigeria and examines two questions relating to the supply of graduate teachers in Nigeria. First, how effective has the Scheme been in augmenting the supply of graduate teachers. Secondly, what is the likelihood that, once trained, the new graduate teachers will leave the profession in favour of better paid alternative employment, thereby defeating the object of the Scheme. To answer these questions, we have used published time-series data and have also conducted a survey of our own among some 600 education undergraduate students in three representative Nigerian universities. Our findings are that, contrary to the prediction of human capital theory, which stresses the importance of prospective relative pay in the choice of courses at university, the Bursary Scheme, which, on the contrary, assumes that it is the relative cost of different courses which principally determines this choice, has been very effective, though not so much in persuading 18-year olds to take a B.Ed. instead of a B.A. or B.Sc., as in inducing experienced primary school teachers to upgrade their qualifications so as to augment the supply of (graduate) secondary school teachers. We also show why the fear that B.Ed. graduates will drift into other professions, which would defeat the object of the Scheme, may be unwarranted.

Indigenous Moral Education in Nigeria - Obidi, S. S. (Journal of Moral Education, 1984)
Abstract This paper discusses moral aspects of indigenous education in Nigeria within the framework of society and religion. The impact of Western education on moral education is also considered. Children experienced moral education from the family, adults in the neighbourhood, age‐groups and the entire community through direct instruction, observation of adults as models and unconscious absorption of moral lessons. Moreover, children learned that the gods and ancestors were also sources and judges of human morality, but that God wasthe fountain‐head of all human affairs and morality. However, the introduction ofWestern religion and education into Nigeria encouraged the young to pursue autonomous morality. Additional informationNotes on contributorsS. S. Obidi Dr S.S.

Pasi ne (Down With) Class Struggle? The New History for Schools in Zimbabwe - Phimister, Ian (History in Africa, 1984)
The struggle by the people of Zimbabwe to overthrow Ian Smith's Rhodesian regime in the 1970s won the support and gripped the imagination of democratic peoples around the world. As the struggle intensified, so it began to move away from nationalism towards liberation. Control of the state was no longer seen as an end in itself. For the vision of a socialist Zimbabwe to become reality, the state would have to be fundamentally restructured. The pace and direction of this historic movement has lain at the center of all subsequent encounters between the advanced capitalist countries and their local class allies on the one hand, and progressive elements inside ZANU on the other. While the former have busied themselves with reversing such progress as was made during the war, the latter have tried to avoid the snares and pitfalls which infest the pragmatic roads leading away from the compromise reached at Lancaster House. Education no less than other state apparatuses has been a site of struggle between the forces of accommodation to the rule of capital and those of socialist transformation. By any measure, the expansion of Zimbabwe's educational infrastructure since independence in April 1980 has been phenomenal. Awarded some Z$408 million in 1982's Budget–a four-fold increase in little over three years–the Ministry of Education now caters for 1,903,917 primary school pupils, as opposed to 819,586 in 1979. Secondary school enrollment over the same period has climbed from 66,215 to 218,430. Equally impressive gains have been registered in the number of schools and schoolteachers.

Squamous-cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and Burkitt's lymphoma are consequences of impaired immune surveillance of ubiquitous viruses in acquired immune deficiency syndrome, allograft recipients and tropical African patients. - Purtilo, David T.; Manolov, G; Manolova, Yanka; Harada, Shizuko; Lipscomb, Helen (PubMed, 1984)
The immune system has evolved under Darwinian pressures as a defence against ubiquitous viruses. Immune surveillance against viral antigens protects the normal host. Individuals with inherited or acquired immune-deficiency disorders can become vulnerable to ubiquitous viruses and neoplasms can ensue, such as B-cell lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous-cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, and carcinoma of the penis and uterine cervix. Immunodeficiency permits Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis B virus, papillomavirus, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus to induce sustained target-cell proliferation. Each virus selects specific cellular targets bearing viral receptors and the infection leads to proliferation of the target cells rather than lysis. Various co-factors, including nutrition, exposure to tumour-promoting agents, parasitic infection, and ultraviolet light, may promote carcinogenesis. Depending on the type and severity of the immune deficiency, gradual proliferation may lead to evolution of a malignant clone. Conversion of polyclonal virally infected proliferating cells to give monoclonal malignancy is probably due to specific cytogenetic rearrangements which allow oncogene activation and endow an altered tumour cell with selective growth advantages over normal diploid cells. Prevention of viral oncogenesis may be possible by treatment of immune-deficient individuals with premalignant disorders. Immunotherapy and antiviral therapy may prevent progression of viral-induced proliferation to malignancy. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and evaluate the role of immune deficiency and viruses in the induction of malignancies commonly occurring in Africans residing in sub-Saharan Africa (Purtilo, 1976). The types of malignancies commonly occurring in this region are believed to be due to ubiquitous viruses. A failure of immune surveillance mechanisms to recognize viral antigens and abrogate proliferation of infected target cells predisposes to malignancy by increasing the chance of a proliferating cell undergoing a cytogenetic or molecular alteration which endows it with malignant characteristics. The immunological surveillance hypothesis has been elaborated during this century by Ehrlich, Thomas, Burnet, and Schwartz (reviewed by Purtilo & Linder, 1983). This hypothesis rests on several assumptions: that neoplastic cells possess unique tumour antigens: tumour antigens provoke an immune response in the host; and the immune response is protective and eliminates the tumour.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The role of maternal and child health clinics in education and prevention: A case study from Papua New Guinea - Reid, Janice (Social Science & Medicine, 1984)
This paper describes a behavioural study of the infant nutrition and family planning education components of selected maternal and child health clinics in Madang Province in Papua New Guinea. Staff of six (6) clinic teams were observed during 18 rural and urban clinics and the content and length of the nurses' interactions with the 254 mothers of 340 children recorded. Three-quarters (71%) of the interactions took less than 2 minutes. Family planning advice was rarely given. The amount of time the nurse spent with mother and child primarily depended on whether the child was sick or well, rather than on his/her nutritional status. Nutritional advice, when offered (to mothers of 27% of children below 80% WFA), was given in response to WFA alone, independently of health status, age and rate of growth. It is suggested that the low priority given to nutrition and family planning education is the result of inadequate supervision, complex reporting systems, the routine nature of the work, preference of nurses for structured clinical tasks and nurses' attitudes to clients and contraception. Clinics would be more effective if oriented around problems rather than tasks, and families rather than individuals. This would also give nurses the satisfaction of seeing the goals and results of their work. It is suggested that the MCH system would benefit from innovative pilot programmes which address the special problems of remote areas and derive from primary health care principles.
