Health education needed to improve public STD awareness in Somalia. - Fox, Edward L.; Jp, Burans; Ma, Omar; Ah, Farah; Guled, A; Yusef, S; Jn, Woody (PubMed, 1988)
To study public sexually transmitted disease (STD) awareness among sexually active individuals in Mogadishu, Somalia the authors interviewed 183 patients who presented at an STD clinic and 29 controls. Only 2 of 3 patients with proven STD knew that diseases can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, and only 1 of 3 non-STD controls had this knowledge. Schools were listed as the source for their STD information by only 15%, and health providers by only 5% of the STD-aware individuals. Moreover, STD awareness did not seem to impact on people's life style, since more STD-aware persons were sexually promiscuous than their unaware counterparts. The authors conclude that STD awareness is very low among the general public in Somalia. Urgent health education campaigns are necessary to slow the spread of STDs. The epidemic of HIV, the latest addendum on the list on modern STDs, could then perhaps be halted, since educating the public on how to avoid exposure to the AIDS virus presently remains the only successful strategy against this killer disease.

The Influence of Creationism and Scientism on Attitudes towards Christianity among Kenyan Secondary School Students - Fulljames, Peter; Francis, Leslie J. (Educational studies, 1988)
Summary The attitude towards Christianity of 624 form six students in Kenya was measured using the Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity Form ASC4B. Indices were developed to measure the view that science attains to absolute truth, the perception of Christianity as necessarily involving creationism, and personal religious behaviour. Sex, academic achievement, study of religion in form six, study of a science subject in form six, parental educational level and parental church attendance were taken into account in the analysis of the data by path analysis. No significant relationship was found between attitude towards Christianity and perception of Christianity as necessarily involving creationism, but the view of science as attaining to absolute truth does have a negative influence on attitude towards Christianity. The significant influences of students’ sex, mother's educational level and father's church attendance on attitude towards Christianity are all mediated through religious behaviour.

The schools of the American Protestant mission in Gabon (1842-1870) - Gardinier, David E. (Revue française d'histoire d'outre-mer, 1988)
L'A.B.C.F.M. de Boston, entre 1842 et 1870, créa les bases du protestantisme dans l'estuaire du Gabon chez les peuples mpongwe, séké et bakèlè. Avec l'aide d'assistants afro-américains et africains de l'Ouest, les missionnaires blancs organisèrent des écoles pour enseigner aux garçons et filles la religion, la lecture, l'écriture, et l'arithmétique en langues et en anglais, la langue indigène du commerce dans la région. Les conditions du commerce dans l'estuaire renforcèrent les mœurs locales telles que la polygamie, la consommation d'alcool, et le travail le jour du Seigneur, ce qui nuisit aux conversions et au maintien des convertis. Le refus des missionnaires de donner aux moniteurs et autres assistants un traitement égal à celui des Afro-Américains et des Africains de l'Ouest contribua indirectement à leur départ vers le commerce. L'opposition de l'A.B.C.F.M. à l'enseignement de l'agriculture et des métiers qualifiés, qui auraient pu constituer une alternative au commerce, restreignit en plus l'influence chrétienne. Malgré ces limites, ce furent les écoles et non point les efforts constants pour l'évangélisation des adultes qui furent le principal agent de l'épanouissement de l'Évangile de Jésus-Christ dans les populations de l'estuaire.

Lipectomy does not impair fattening induced by short photoperiods or high-fat diets in female Syrian hamsters - Hamilton, Joan M.; Wade, George N. (Physiology & Behavior, 1988)
Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) exhibit seasonal fluctuations in body fat that are triggered by changes in photoperiod and/or diet. Body fat accumulates when hamsters are switched to a short photoperiod or high-fat diet. The effects of surgical reduction of adipose tissue (lipectomy) on these responses were tested in adult female hamsters. Dorsal-inguinal subcutaneous, parametrial, and retroperitoneal white adipose tissues were removed bilaterally from some hamsters, while others received sham surgery. Hamsters from each surgical group were then fed a high-fat diet for the next 12 or 30 weeks, or were exposed to a short photoperiod for 13 weeks. Restoration of previously excised pads was for the most part incomplete, yet all lipectomized hamsters fully regained total body lipid, which suggests compensatory hypertrophy in other depots. Consistent with this, we found a significant increase in the weight of the previously undisturbed axillary subcutaneous pad, but this increase was small and not sufficient to offset the deficits remaining in the regenerated pads. Thus, restoration of total body lipid mass was achieved by a general increase in deposition over all depots rather than a specific renewal of removed tissue. This ability to recover completely from lipectomy is similar to that previously reported in ground squirrels. In contrast, rats and mice are frequently unable to replace lost adipose tissue. Both hamsters and squirrels adjust their levels of body fat according to season, which may afford them an enhanced ability to recover from surgical reductions of adipose tissue.

Schools and Political Socialisation in Africa - Harber, Clive (Educational review, 1988)
The relationship between the political system and the educational system is often viewed only at the level of official aims and goals enshrined in government publications. Yet the political reality of schooling will be created not only by the dominant political ideology of the surrounding society but also by the actors involved in the educational process—pupils, teachers, parents and administrators. This article examines some contradictions between official policy and the actual operation of schooling in three African countries—Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania.

Who talks to whom about what? Reflections on some recent experiences in education in Namibia - Harlech‐Jones, Brian (Critical Arts, 1988)
Abstract At the heart of the formal educational endeavour lie questions of the nature of that endeavour: questions of the values which a specific educational operation serves and embodies, of the legitimacy of those values, and of the means by which ends may be attained. The purpose of this article is. in part, to reflect on those questions, particularly as they relate to ideology and language, and the realisation of these in education in the present reformist phase of apartheid in the Namibian context. These questions will be mediated through an account of recent events in which I, and the educational institution of which I am a member, the Academy in Windhoek. Namibia, have recently been involved. As a necessary prelude to these reflections, some theoretical perspectives will be presented.

Ecophysiological Experiments for Improving Landuse Patterns in the Drylands of Southeast Kenya by Means of Drought Resistant Leguminous Crops (Tepary Beans, Bambarra Groundnuts) - Hornetz, B. (1988)
This study deals with potential cultivation of the minor pulses of tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) and bambarra groundnuts (Voandzeia/Vigna subterranea) with special reference to their ecophysiological demands. The aim of this research is to supplement actual landuse patterns in those areas recently dominated by integrated Systems of crop cultivation and livestock production with ecologically adapted leguminous crops of high nutritional values. This would subsequently reduce the risks of crop failure, food crisis, and soil degradation (mainly by means of nitrogen fixation). Newly constructed growth containers gave possibilities to simulate different durations and intensities of water stress under controlled environmental conditions in climatic chamber experiments. It was observed and recorded that teparies and bambarras possess different mechanisms of morphological and physiological adaptation to high temperature and water stress. This apparently includes the ability of osmotic adjustment. The patterns of adaptation to water stress are combined with defined hydrature periods closely connected with the reduction of soil moisture. The results of the ecophysiological experiments were transformed into a numerical model. This methodological approach was combined with agroecological simulation computation and scenario-concept, thus allowing to test the possibility of cultivation of defined crops in certain dryland sites and areas of Southeast Kenya. The computations resulted in a spatial differentiation of potential cultivation patterns of tepary beans and bambarra groundnuts. Short-cycle teparies can be cultivated in all areas of the analyzed geographical transect. Successful cropping with a probability of about 67% is even confined to the more humid rainy seasons in the drier parts of the agroecological Zone 6 (Ranching Zone acc. to: JATZOLDa nd SCHMIDT1,9 8213; e.g. as See also: Fig. 5 and Tab. 2). The tested variety of bambarra groundnuts turned out to need at least 75 days of sufficient water supply during the agrohumid period (Am) to receive the water requirements for obtaining minimum yields in two out of three years. Therefore, the spatial distribution is limited to the second rainy season of the sites in the Machakos District and in Voi as well as to the first rains of Mariakani. Zusammenfassung Zwei als „minor pulses einzustufende Leguminosen, Tepary-Bohnen (Phaseolus acutifolius) und Bambarra-Erderbsen (VoandzeialVigna subterranea) wurden fur ein potentielles Anbaugebiet im Agrosahel SE-Kenias unter besonderer Berucksichtigung ihrer okophysiologischen Anspruche getestet. Das Ziel der Untersuchungen bestand in dem Versuch, die aktuellen Landnutzungssysteme im Trockengrenzbereich, die meistens Betriebsformen der Viehhaltung und des Anbaues integrieren, durch okologisch angepaste und ernahrungsphysiologisch hochwertige Leguminosen zu erganzen und damit das Produktionsrisiko sowie die Gefahr von Hungerkatastrophen bei gleichzeitiger Stabilisierung der Bodenfruchtbarkeit (V. a. durch symbiontische N2-Fixierung) zu minimieren. In Klimakammerexperimenten konnte mit Hilfe neu konzipierter Bestandscontainer messend erfast werden, das Tepary-Bohnen und Bambarra-Erderbsen uber ein differenziertes Repertoire an morphologischen und physiologischen Anpassungsmoglichkeiten gegenuber extremen klimatischen Bedingungen wie Uberhitzung und Austrocknung verfugen. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse wurden anschliesend in ein numerisches Modell eingebracht, das mit Hilfe von Szenarientheorie und agrarokologischen Simulationsrechnungen die Austestung der Anbaufahigkeit bestimmter Standorte bzw. Regionen im Trockengrenzbereich SE-Kenias ermoglichte. Es ergibt sich eine raumliche Differenzierung des potentiellen Anbaues von Tepary-Bohnen und Bambarra-Erderbsen: Die kurzzyklischen Teparies konnen im gesamten Untersuchungsgebiet angebaut werden, wobei sogar an trockneren Standorten der agrookologischen Zone 6 (Ranching Zone: nach JATZOLDu nd SCHMIDT 1982/3), uber die bisherige Regenfeldbaugrenze hinaus noch eine der beiden Regenzeiten potentiell anbaufahig ist (z.B. in der Form eines additional cropping; siehe Fig. 5 und Tab. 2). Obwohl in der vorliegenden Untersuchung die nach dem bisherigen Kenntnisstand kurzzyklischste Varietat von Bambarra-Erderbsen verwendet wurde, scheint nur noch bei einer Lange der agrohumiden Periode (AHP) von mehr als 75 Tagen eine ausreichende Wasserversorgung zur Produktion des Minimalertrages in zwei von drei Jahren erreicht zu werden. Dies beschrankt ihre Einsatzmoglichkeiten auf die 2. AHP der nordlichen Standorte im Distrikt Machakos und von Voi sowie auf die 1. AHP des kustennahen Mariakani.

The special challenges to health education presented by the AIDS epidemic are discussed. Relevant previous health education experiences are reviewed, especially in family planning, community-based distribution of contraceptives and the social marketing of condoms. A number of problems are identified in reducing high-risk and promoting safe-sex behaviours. Critical issues are identified, including the cross-cultural validity of health education models, the use of fear appeals in persuasive communications and the role of interpersonal communication and community participation in AIDS education. Priorities for health education research for AIDS in Africa are proposed.

How Nigerian teachers select instructional materials - Ibe‐Bassey, George S. (British Journal of Educational Technology, 1988)
Abstract Instructional systems designers and developers have assumed idealized models and theories about the selection and use of materials for instruction. Such models and theories are based on what teachers should do instead of recognizing what teachers are doing when they select materials for instructions. This study examined how teachers select instructional materials for instruction. When making decisions for selecting and using materials teachers were influenced by the content of lessons taught, and by their professional training, rather than by the stating of behavioural objectives. An integrated instructional design should include a consideration of the mental and intuitive efforts of teachers, and of the qualities of materials during not after the need assessment.

Financial Allocations to Education in Nigeria, 1962-80 - Ibukun, W. Olusola (Journal of Negro Education, 1988)
The history of developmental planning in Nigeria dates back to colonial periods. One of such comprehensive, preindependence plans was initiated in 1946 during the regime of Governor Arthur Richards to cover the period 1946-1956. The plan was terminated near the end of that period due to political changes in the country, and another Development Plan was adopted for the closing years of the colonial era (1955-1960).' Thus, at the inception of the nowcalled First National Development Plan in 1962, Nigeria's policy makers were following a precedent for long-range planning for the nation's rapid physical and socioeconomic transformation. The first of the postindependence plans covered the period 1962-1968. The second and third plan periods covered the years 1970-1974 and 1975-1980, respectively. The National Development Plans include sections that deal with educational objectives and projected financial resources to be used for the implementation of education programs. The present review examines major educational priorities during each of the periods of the first three postindependence plans and the projected financial allocations to meet the plans' goals. The article is not intended to be a critique of the plans or their philosophical bases, but an exposition of anticipated goals and the projection of financial supports for meeting stated targets. Though the writer intended the article to be analytical, it seemed appropriate in some instances to make critical and judgmental statements. It is important to note that the financing of education in Nigeria has been a joint venture. The federal government, state governments, individuals, and private organizations make financial con-

Community Financing of Schools in Eastern Nigeria - Igwe, S.O. (1988)
Publisher Summary This chapter explores the social and political structures of Eastern Nigeria, and mechanisms for educational support before and after the government takeover of schools in 1970. Community support for education in Eastern Nigeria is particularly impressive. It is a long-standing tradition that largely commenced because of the strategies employed by the missionaries; it has flourished because of the Ibo people's strong spirit of rivalry and competition. Education has been perceived as an instrument for individual and collective advancement, and the Ibos are well known for their aggressive outlook in such matters. At various times, the government has announced that it is taking over full responsibility for education. When it has found itself unable to meet this responsibility, communities have readily stepped in to bridge the gap. In many societies of northern Nigeria and other parts of the world, the failure of governments to meet their responsibilities has met a very different response. One might expect particularly strong demands for control over admissions and the curriculum. However, most communities seem to accept government control in these matters. The Ministry of Education does not abuse its powers over admissions, and communities realize that development of their own local curricula could restrict the mobility of their children in the labor market and in further education.

Drug abuse among medical students at a Nigerian university: Part 1. Prevalence and pattern of use. - Ihezue, U. H. (PubMed, 1988)
Using a structured pro forma, 728 out of 775 medical undergraduates at a Nigerian university were surveyed for the prevalence and pattern of drug use. An operational definition of substance abuse was made, and 28 percent of students fell within that criterion. Male abusers (81 percent) exceeded female abusers (19 percent). Substances most commonly abused were alcohol (60 percent), minor tranquilizers (48 percent), tobacco (35 percent), and narcotics (29 percent), particularly codeine. Only 11 percent abused cannabis. While most students were polydrug users, there was a low frequency of daily drug use. A general lifetime (occasional use) prevalence of substance use of 56 percent was found. Drugs consumed on a daily basis were alcohol (2 percent) and tobacco (6 percent). The prevalence of drug use was highest among the fourth and final year students. The majority of students were occasional abusers; there was no evidence of physical dependence.

Maternal mortality at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Nigeria. - Ja, Unuigbe; Orhue, Aae; Au, Oronsaye (PubMed, 1988)
A study of 165 maternal deaths at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City over a 13-year period (from April 1, 1973 to December 31, 1985) is presented. All patients' case files were recovered from the central records library and each case file was carefully analyzed. With a total delivery of 29,324, the maternal mortality rate, inclusive of death from abortion, was 563/100,000 deliveries. There was a general increase in maternal mortality rate with age and this became alarming from 35 years. There was an equally high mortality rate among teenagers, mainly accounted for by illegally induced abortion. Indeed, abortion accounted for 72% of teenage mortality. A statistically significant association between maternal deaths and parity (p, 0.001) was observed. The most important causes of death were hemorrhage with a total of 26 out of 42 deaths, sepsis, and abortion. Other important causes were hypertensive disorders such as eclampsia, liver and respiratory disease, anemia, trophoblastic diseases, caesarean sections, and acute renal failure. Additional causes of maternal deaths include tetanus, sickle-cell disease, anesthetic death, drug reactions, pulmonary embolism, acute pyogenic meningitis, typhoid disease, urinary bladder tumor, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and carcinoma of the breast thyroid. Factors identified with these deaths included such health services factors as deficient medical treatment of obstetric complications, lack of adequate personnel at primary and secondary health care levels, lack of access to maternal health services, and consequently, lack of prenatal care. Extreme reproductive age, grandmultiparity, and unwanted pregnancies, especially among teenagers, also contributed to maternal deaths. Overhaul of the maternal health care services at national level to include organization of such programs as provision of adequate blood transfusion facilities, prompt treatment of infections, early referrals of patients at risk to secondary and tertiary health centers, intensified family planning programs, and liberalization of abortion laws are recommended in order to reduce the unacceptably high maternal mortality.

The international aid approach to educational planning :a case study of the planning and development of secondary education in Swaziland - Jones, Raymond Peter (1988)
What happened in the planning and development of secondary education in Swaziland can be seen as representing a common African experience, and exemplifying a general paradox which characterised the aid process. What donors regarded as persistent weaknesses in planning and management in recipient countries was, in varying degrees, a way of protecting an African view of education against donor intervention. The development of secondary education was shaped by an African approach and the variety of societal institutions across African countries, rather than by the acceptance or imposition of international models and the responsible interventionism of donor agencies. The exceptionally well protected nature of the Swazi case stems from a distinctively Swazi paradox. Extreme dependence on South Africa provided a form of security within which the Swazi monarchy was enabled to give full expression to a remarkably homogeneous traditional system, a system which had broken down elsewhere in Africa. The functioning of a powerful traditional monarchy and the persistence of traditional institutions and processes gave Swaziland a rare degree of autonomy in protecting the Swazi model of education against external pressures brought to bear by a substantial array of donor agencies. The Swazi experience provides support for the view that education, far from being a powerful instrument for economic and social change, has only a limited role to play in the development process. The particularity of the Swazi experience, and the reason it was an extremely heightened case of a more general phenomenon, arises out of the features that imposed fundamental restrictions on alterations in existing societal structures. These features were those that form the two sides of the Swazi paradox, the functioning of a powerful traditional monarchy and extreme dependence on South Africa.

Education and Community Self-Help in Zambia - Kaluba, Langazye Henry (1988)
This chapter discusses education and community self-help in Zambia. Community support for schools and educational programs in Zambia has greatly increased in strength. Demand for education has greatly expanded because of population growth and the increased number of primary school leavers who aspire to proceed to secondary schools. The government is beset by economic crisis that threatens even the maintenance of existing services. Communities have realized that if they want educational facilities, then they must supplement government provision through their own efforts. The main community inputs were labor and local materials, and the government provided other materials, teachers, transport, and supervision. However, during the 1970s, the government found it increasingly difficult to shoulder such a heavy load. A new policy in 1977 stated that the government expected communities to meet the full capital costs of their projects, and this policy has continued to be necessary in the 1980s.

The purpose of the study was to investigate caries of primary teeth and some associated back ground factors in a group of 580 nursery school children. The age of the children ranged from 3 to 8 years; 83% of them were of African origin, the remainder being Asians and Arabs. The mean dmft score of Africans was 2.3 and that of the other ethnic group was 4.3; 37% of the children showed zero caries experience. Boys of Asian and Arab origin had significantly higher dmft scores than the others. The most common location of caries lesions was on the proximal surfaces. The mean dmft score in the group of children with high socioeconomic standard (SES) was slightly higher compared to the children with lower SES, but the difference was not significant. The experience of caries found in this study is higher than that reported in most African studies.

The new politics of job training and work training in Africa - King, Kenneth (International Journal of Educational Development, 1988)
Taking the standpoint that sub-Saharan African education policy is undergoing a thorough re-evaluation, the paper reviews the changes in relationships between the formal and informal labour markets in Africa and the planning of education in relation to such supposed objectives. Political concerns with accountability, efficiency, financing and the maintenance of relevance in vocational training find little that is comparable with policies or experiments in the developed countries. In part this is complicated through intervention by the policies favoured by external donors. The paper concludes with ten propositions regarding future attempts to tighten up bonds between education, training and job/work placements in Africa.

Influence of Soil Moisture and Surface Albedo Changes over the African Tropical Rain Forest on Summer Climate - Kitoh, Akio; Yamazaki, Koji; Tokioka, Tatsushi (Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan, 1988)
The influence of a change in soil characteristics due to a deforestation of the tropical rain forest on climate is studied by the use of an atmospheric general circulation model (MRI⋅GCM-I). Four experiments are run for four months, beginning on May 1 00Z and time averages for June through August are analyzed. The control run (C) has a spatially uniform soil moisture capacity and a seasonally varying surface albedo compiled by Matthews. The second is a soil moisture experiment (W) where the soil moisture capacity is reduced between 0° and 12°N over Africa (the anomaly region). The third is an albedo experiment (A) where the surface albedo is increased to 0.30 corresponding to a desert condition instead of the realistic one in the anomaly region. The final experiment (AW) changes both the soil moisture capacity and the surface albedo in the anomaly region.The experiments show that the changes in soil moisture and surface albedo have very different effects on the local climate. In W, the decrease of evapotranspiration does not always result in a decrease of precipitation since there is an accompanying increase in the horizontal moisture flux convergence. This is accomplished by an increased surface temperature, greater diabatic heating in the lower troposphere by the increased sensible heat flux resulting in an increased convergence in the moisture flux. In A, the decrease of precipitation is greater than that of evapotranspiration, so the updraft is much suppressed and the net moisture flux divergence occurs. Since the surface heat energy nearly balances between the reduced absorption of solar radiation due to the increased surface albedo and the resulting reduced evapotranspiration, the decrease of surface air temperature is slight. Local responses obtained by AW are almost equal to the sum of those obtained in W and A.The local Hadley circulation is weakened in AW. Heating anomalies over the anomaly region are negative in the upper and middle troposphere due to the reduced precipitation, and positive in the lower troposphere due to the increase in the sensible heat flux. The reverse is the case in the Sahel region where precipitation increased. The differences in the zonal wind over West Africa between AW and C resemble those observed during the wet and dry periods in the Sahel region. The east-west circulation in AW, consisting of the lower tropospheric westerlies (African monsoon flow) and updrafts, is strengthened by the increased heating associated with a greater sensible heat flux convergence. Clear changes occur in the east-west circulation between the African continent and the Indian Ocean, suggesting a westward displacement of the Indian monsoon precipitation maximum. The zonally symmetric circulation anomalies are also found. Anticyclonic circulations in the upper troposphere subtropics of both hemispheres are strengthened in AW. Superposed on these circulations are three well-defined quasi-stationary wave trains which are accompanied by precipitation and temperature anomalies.

Teacher-nonteacher pay differences in Côte d'Ivoire - Komenan, A.G. (1988)
Because base salaries for teachers in Cote d'Ivoire are higher than wages of workers in other occupations, there is some question about whether teachers are overpaid. This paper used multivariate analysis based on the monthly wage rate functions to investigate the differences between teachers and other occupations. It was found that the base salaries for teachers contained an economic rent component, largely due to the wage setting behaviour of the Ivorian government. This salary premium disappears, however, when the total renumeration package is considered, i.e. including in-kind benefits, bonuses and commissions, which are more widely received by non-teachers. Policymakers should thus be cautious when considering budget cuts that would lower teachers salaries, cuts certain to make the teaching profession less attractive.

Assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in Nigerian students. - LAdams-Campbell, L; UNwankwo, M; AOmene, J; AUkoli, F; PYoung, M; THaile, G; HKuller, L (Arteriosclerosis: An Official Journal of the American Heart Association, Inc., 1988)
The present study assessed the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in 65 Nigerian medical students attending the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. Their ages ranged from 17 to 28 years with a mean age for men of 20.9 years and for women of 18.8 years. Approximately 8% of the men and 0% of the women were current cigarette smokers, whereas alcohol use was observed in 14.6% of the men and in 0% of the women. The Nigerian men had significantly higher diastolic blood pressures than did American black and white men. Compared to American black men, the Nigerian men had considerably lower total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. The Nigerian women did not differ from American black women with respect to total cholesterol, but had significantly lower triglyceride concentrations.

Community Financing of Education in Kenya - Lillis, Kevin M.; Ayot, Henry O. (1988)
This chapter discusses the community financing of education in Kenya. Kenya has become well known for the scale of community involvement in education, particularly in the secondary school sector. In the context of community financing of education, Kenya is best known for its harambee secondary schools. Harambee efforts are capable of mobilizing vast amounts of mone, and have maintained their force despite severe economic pressures. Many harambee schools suffer from severe qualitative problems, and it is arguable that harambee diverts resources from more productive uses. Before independence, churches were also responsible for the majority of secondary schools. The government has now assumed greater responsibility in this sector, but harambee and other community contributions remain considerable. At the secondary level, the issues are complicated by the existence of excess demand for school places. Government attitudes to the harambee movement have varied. On the one hand, the government has allowed loose and rapid expansion of projects but, especially in the late 1960s, has also realized the danger of loss of control and the need to incorporate harambee projects into controlled central planning.

Potassium–argon ages of volcanic rocks from northeast of Lake Turkana, northern Kenya - McDougall, Ian; Watkins, Ronald T. (Geological Magazine, 1988)
Abstract The Asille Group, a 1500 m succession comprising dominantly basaltic lavas but with interbedded sediments and silicic volcanics, lies unconformably upon metamorphosed basement northeast of Lake Turkana. Concordant K–Ar ages on alkali feldspars from pantelleritic units in the succession show that the Langaria Formation erupted 26.9±0.3 Ma ago in late Oligocene time, that Gum Dura Formation volcanism occurred at 15.8±0.2 Ma (early Miocene), and that there was widespread middle Miocene silicic volcanism at 13.0±0.3 Ma. Younger basaltic volcanism producing the flood lavas of the Gombe Group commenced at least 6.16±0.09 Ma ago in late Miocene time. These results, based upon 20 K–Ar age determinations, provide good numerical age control for much of the sequence developed within a little known sector of the Eastern Rift of Africa between the Ethiopian and Kenyan domes.

Maternal mortality from emergency caesarean section in booked hospital patients at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu. - Megafu, U (PubMed, 1988)
Examination of 34,114 case notes from booked hospital patients during 1979-1984 at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in Enugu revealed 2106 emergency cesarean sections (6.1%) and a maternal mortality rate of 0.8% in these patients. The major cause of death was septicemia followed by liver failure, acute renal failure, hemorrhage, eclampsia, anesthetic accidents, and pulmonary embolism. Antenatal care accounts for lower maternal death rates in booked patients receiving cesarean sections compared to unbooked patients; mortality rate in booked patients was 8.5/1000 and 45/1000 in unbooked patients. Requiring all antenatal patients to give a pint of blood before booking assured available blood during emergency operations. Deaths from anesthesia could be prevented by employing only qualified, experienced specialists. Enforced aseptic techniques during surgery could lower post operative sepsis which in turn could reduce maternal deaths. Emergency cesarean sections were found to be safe. This observation is dependent on patient acceptance of appropriate antenatal care, requiring a donation of blood on booking, enforcing rigid aspetic surgical techniques, providing qualified anesthetists, and promoting good antenatal care.

South to south learning experiences: Popular housing problems in Nigeria and India - Mills-Tettey, Ralph (Habitat International, 1988)
Abstract Slums exist in every known city of the world. Their problems are basically that of urban poverty and deprivation. The management of slums and governmental attitudes have varied from one country to another. Generally in most it has been one of intolerance and denial of utilities. Governments in fact pretend they do not exist. India is one country that has lived with slums and will continue to do so. It has shaped policies to recognise their usefulness and provide them with amenities, however minimal. What lessons can we learn in Nigeria from the India experience? The paper highlights the universality of slums and spontaneous settlements in most Third World Cities. It goes on to examine the Nigerian situation with a special focus on Lagos, the present Federal Capital. This is followed by an appraisal of the Indian housing situation. The Slum Upgrading Projects of New Delhi and other Indian cities are also examined in the context of the agencies involved. Finally conclusions and recommendations are made in an attempt to draw parallells and for us in Nigeria to selectively learn from the experience of another major Third World nation.

Participation of the Grassroots in Rural Development: The Case of the Development Education Programme of the Catholic Diocese of Machakos, Kenya - Mulwa, Francis Wambua (Journal of Social Development in Africa, 1988)
An effective participation for grassroots development would only be realised where the grassroots have the freedom to make their own decisions and set their own development priorities, draw their own plans; implement (with their own built-in monitoring and evaluation systems) and ensure a fair share of the fruits of their work (including any costs thereof) for each member of their community. Some perspectives on grassroots participation for rural development A story is told of a development worker who went to a remote village. He was highly motivated and fully prepared to solve all the villagers' problems and transform the 'Primitive' community. However, he came to realise diat people lived under immense fear and apathy, not even prepared to do anything to change their situation. He soon learnt that this fear emanated from a 'strange' development in that village. The villagers reported diat they had of late noticed a 'monster' across die valley which mey believed was sent by the evil spirits to kill them. They went to show the development worker where die 'monster' was. At one stage the villagers were so afraid diey diey left him to face the 'beast' alone. After crossing the valley he discovered diat it was nodiing else but an overgrown water melon. Nevertheless, to satisfy die villagers, he acted 'brave' by drawing out his sword and dramatically cutting it into pieces as die villagers watched from a 'safe' distance. However, to his great dismay, die villagers could not welcome him back despite what he had done for diem. Why? They requested him to leave die

The Rise and Fall of the Kikuyu Karing' a Education Association of Kenya, 1929-1952 - Natsoulas, T. (Journal of Asian and African Studies, 1988)
This study of the Kikuyu Karing'a Education Association (KKEA) has as an underlying theme the successful resistance of an African society to cultural and political colonialism. The KKEA persevered for two decades because it helped meet the educational needs of the Kikuyu people of central Kenya. Furthermore, it was an expression of cultural identity and acted as a vehicle for anti-colonial protest. It emerged in the early 1930s after thousands of Kikuyu boycotted mission schools when the latter decided to ban the practice of female circumcision. Although most returned to the missions, many remained in the newly-formed independent schools. These schools politicized a portion of the Kikuyu population which became, at the very least, sympathetic to indigenous political movements. Hence with the Mau Mau rebellion, in the 1950s, the KKEA was outlawed.

Northern Nigeria and the Issue of Free Universal Primary Education, 1952-58 - Obidi, S. S. (Journal of Negro Education, 1988)
In 1948, Sidney Phillipson, The Financial Secretary of the Nigerian Federal Government appointed to review grants in-aid to education, recommended a universal, free, compulsory system of primary and secondary education for Nigeria.' Seven years later, 1955, free primary education was introduced in the Western Region, and in 1957 in the Eastern Region and in Lagos. However, free universal primary education was not introduced in the Northern Region during the period under review. In fact, it was not launched until after independence. This article considers some of the apparent causes of the failure to launch a free primary education scheme in the Northern Region during the period studied. Specific issues addressed are (1) financial problems, (2) teacher supply, (3) inadequate data collection procedures, and (4) religious and cultural influences. Comparative evidence is provided to show that though the Western and Eastern Regions had similar difficulties, they took steps to implement their plans without delay. This study begins with 1952 because it was in that year that the first legislation to introduce Universal Primary Education (UPE) was passed in Western Nigeria. The study ends with 1958 when the Northern government decided to make the provinces responsible for the organization of primary education.

In response to Nigeria's 'old' and seemingly intractable health problems and the emergence of a 'new' epidemiology of behaviour-related and social disorders, there is an urgent need for greater participation of social scientists in the training of front-line health care practitioners and delivery of care. This study was conducted to determine the current extent of involvement of the social sciences in Nigerian medical education. A survey was carried out in all schools/colleges of medicine in the country. Nineteen social scientists, comprising 1 anthropologist, 10 psychologists and 8 sociologists, were identified in 10 of the 12 schools. Questionnaires were sent to all of them and 12 were returned. Analyses of the data collected showed that most psychologists were affiliated with departments of psychiatry and sociologists with community health/social medicine. Psychologists spent most of their time in teaching, clinical work and research (in that order); and sociologists in teaching, research and health care delivery. Most of the social scientists perceived their work as essential in the training of medical doctors and thought that the medical school provided a good opportunity for research. But a significant number of them complained of status inequality with their medically-trained colleagues. This was regarded as one of several obstacles to greater participation of social scientists in Nigerian health care. It was suggested that while social scientists were essential in the training of health care personnel, they needed to diversify their inputs (emphasizing health promotion and disease prevention) in accordance with a broadened and socially relevant view of health and illness.

Audiology training in Nigeria—I: A training model - Oyiborhoro, John M.A. (Social Science & Medicine, 1988)
The purpose of this paper was to develop a model for preparing professional audiology personnel in a developing country (Nigeria). Professional audiologists in Nigeria are expected to provide basic and advanced audiologic services in hospitals, special schools for the hearing-impaired and to develop, conduct or supervise hearing conservation programs in regular school settings, industries as well as local government health centers. The competencies expected of students upon completing their professional programs are presented in the form of 'training modules' vis-a-vis basic science, medical educational, hearing conservation, aural rehabilitation and clinical practicum. Training implications of the modules are discussed with regards to the promise they hold for the preparation of audiology personnel particularly in developing countries.

The purpose of this article is to provide some ways and means so that an audiology training program can be implemented in a developing country (Nigeria). Specific problems facing students, faculty and the training process itself are examined. Suggestions are provided to reduce these problems. In addition to mobilization of local resources, it is suggested that international cooperation be sought in the development, establishment and implementation of audiology training programs in developing countries. While the present approach may not be unique, it may provide some cost-effective means for meeting the shortage of hearing health care professionals in many developing countries.

Vocational education planning in Secondary Schools in Ghana - Pecku, N.K. (1988)
Secondary education in Ghana has experienced phenomenal expansion and changes in the last two decades (Foster, 1965; Greyham, 1971; Education Report, 1968-71). The number of schools has increased and the curriculum has also expanded. The general aims of secondary education in Ghana are to prepare students for employment and for continuing education. Specifically, the expansion of the last two decades was in response to the need for middle-level manpower for economic development and preparation of more qualified candidates for higher education in polytechnics, colleges and universities (Education Report, 1968-71). What occurs in practice is that many secondary school students consider the secondary school as a place to prepare for the professions and they, therefore, concentrate on preparation for higher education.

De ce fait, loin de detailler le processus de l'education traditionnelle et le role educatif des proverbes dans chacune des etapes de la croissance biologique de l'individu et de son integration sociale, cette etude survole globalement, d'un regard critique, la substance educative de la tradition lari et en revele quelques conflits latents opposant symboliquement le neveu et l'oncle, la femme et l'homme, le jeune et le vieux, le celibataire et le marie, conflits fallacieusement geres par une tradition fortement legitimee par l'omnipresence du respect des esprits des ancetres et la crainte perpetuelle de la sorcellerie ce qui revient a dire, d'une part, que cette etude observe des situations quelque peu desuetes, en comparaison aux pratiques du monde moderne, - de l'autre part, cette etude note des valeurs morales et culturelles susceptibles d'etre interpretees comme des attitudes dynamiques, donc encourageant le changement et la novation.

Education and Employment in the Informal Sector A Review of Some Recent African Research - Rathgeber, Eva M. (Canadian Journal of African Studies, 1988)
problem of increasing concern in many African countries.' This concern is a reflection of the dual effects of rapid expansion of primary education during the 1970os and of massive rural-urban migration which still continues up to the present day. However, even while primary schooling has become commonly available, in all countries in sub-Saharan Africa only relatively small numbers of students are able to continue on to secondary school. Not only are places far fewer in number but also secondary schooling usually involves a double financial burden for families - school fees and loss of a potential economic contribution from the child's labour. In view of these considerations, the reality for most African children in the I980s is that primary schooling will be terminal. Recognizing this reality, African education policymakers have started to put greater emphasis on teaching productive, work-related skills in primary schools. Attention has been focused on the vocationalization of the curriculum and on the teaching of skills believed to have immediate applicability and relevance in the world outside school. The general concept of the vocationalization of the primary school curriculum is certainly not a new one in the African context. The history of African education is replete with examples of the attempts of the former colonial powers to introduce vocational slants into the education offered to African children - and with the resistence strategies adopted by African parents and intellectuals who rejected this type of education for their children, regarding it as a thinly disguised attempt to ensure that Africans remained permanently entrenched in subservient economic and social roles.

School effectiveness in secondary education in Zimbabwe : a multilevel analysis - Riddell, Abby (1988)
Survey data was collected in 1985 covering information on 3,1100 Form IV students in Zimbabwe, their teachers, their classes and the 32 schools from which they were drawn - spread across six different school types. This data is analysed using a multilevel regression programme to evaluate the effectiveness of different schools in terms of '0' level results in English Language, English Literature and Mathematics. In Chapter One, the historical background to education in Zimbabwe is presented, together with an overview of the main policy changes since Independence. The study itself is situated in Chapter Two against the backdrop of a review of the literature and a discussion of the methodology which distinguishes this study as part of the third wave of research into school effectiveness. Chapter Three describes the study itself, the sample, the variables, and an overview of the school type differences. Chapter Four details the construction of the index variables at the student, the class and the school level. In Chapter Five the results of the progression of linear models are presented, substantiating the choice of 'final' models for each eub3ect. Chapter Six presents an analysis of the different costs at different types of schools, and Chapter Seven draws the threads through the arguments presented in Chapters Two. Five and Six, presenting the implications for Zimbabwe of the stud y 's findings as well as the implications for further research in this field. Whereas much of the literature on school effectiveness has assumed that family background influences on educational achievement operate differently in Third World countries relative to industrialised countries and that school-based factors predominate, this study demonstrates the inadequacy of the models on which such conclusions have been based and concludes that such a distinct pattern of educational achievement for the Third World may indeed be a fallacy.

Training at the Glassroots: an integrated approach to training library assistants in Southern Sudan - Rosenberg, Diana; O'Connor, Brigid M. (Information Development, 1988)
Since training of library staff in Southern Sudan began in 1978 a training structure has evolved to meet the country's specific needs. Due to social and economic conditions, only small-scale and piecemeal library development can be realized. Training axioms must be based on an awareness of these limitations. Three levels of courses were developed for library staff by the University of Juba Library which started organizing training programmes for its own staff and those of other libraries due to lack of skilled personnel. These were: the Certificate Course in Librarianship, in-service courses and short courses. Details of the curriculum, training staff, selection principles and teaching tools are given. The University Library plays a vital role in advising on library development in Southern Sudan. Examines the problems that arose in regard to training: selection of suitable candidates; lack of organizational support; practical application of training; poor level of English expression; and lack of local examples of good library practice.

(1988)
Vertical transmission of the HIV virus was found to be highly risky for infants born to a sample of 908 women delivering at University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka Zambia. 8.6% of the women were infected with the AIDS virus. Cord bloods were available for 62 infants of seropositive mothers and 93.5% were found to be positive for the HIV infection. Of these infants 30 were followed for 1 year. The year-end results showed that 18 of the 30 (60%) were still seropositive. The clinical features of these 18 infants showed 6 had hepatosplenomegaly and 1 had lymphadenopathy. Most symptoms occur after 1 year of age and present as failure to thrive recurrent pneumonia and other infections. Seropositive infants received live vaccines; there was no evidence of poliomyelitis neurological deficit developmental delays or accelerated BCG reaction. 20 infants in the pediatric ward were found to have BCG adenitis of which only 1 was HIV positive. The remaining 12 seropositive infants lost their antibodies between 9 and 12 months of age which suggests that a positive antibody was passed from mother to baby and the babies were in fact not infected at all. The seropositive women were both symptomatic and asymptomatic. Of 36 mothers who were HIV positive 14 had generalized lymphadenopathy 2 had weight loss 1 had a fever and 1 had diarrhea. All went through the pregnancy without problems. Adverse pregnancy outcomes were experienced by 20 of 70 (15%) seropositive mothers compared with 14% of adverse pregnancy outcomes for mothers who were not infected. The adverse outcomes for seropositive mothers included 3 abortions 4 stillbirths and 5 low birth weights. 33% of seropositive mothers were conceiving their first child. Counseling this population not to bear further children requires tact and sensitivity to the pressures to bear more children when the family norm is 6-10 children.

Community Financing of Schools in Botswana - Swartland, Jakes R.; Taylor, Don (1988)
This chapter discusses community financing of schools in Botswana. This chapter describes the context within which schools operate in Botswana, and discusses the historical development of the system, placing particular emphasis on the role of the community. The chapter also explores the current policy and mechanisms for community management and financing. The Community Junior Secondary Schools owe their origin to the spirit of self-sacrifice amongst Botswana parents so that their children should have a better life. In many communities, people have contributed cash, cattle, and labor so that new schools could be built and more children could have the opportunity of secondary education. There is a long tradition of such endeavor in Botswana and a few spectacular examples of large-scale community financing in the colonial era.

Implementing educational change in Cameroon : two case studies in primary education - Tosam, Ful John. (1988)
Since the Cameroon nation came into being in 1961, it has been engaged in efforts towards harmonizing two distinctly different educational traditions it inherited from the colonial era, the one, French-oriented, and the other, British-oriented, while at the same time, working towards better quality schools. However, the main thrust towards meeting these objectives thus far, has been in primary education where two main separate and on-going attempts at educational change are being undertaken in both educational traditions in the country. This research is based on case studies of these two experiences, and attempts to provide a holistic appraisal of the strategies adopted thus far, towards implementing change in Cameroon primary education. The one experience, the Institut de P6dagogie Appliquee sa vocation Rurale (IPAR) began in 1969, and is embodied in two projects (IPAR-Yaounde and IPAR-Buea) which aim at the harmonization and reform of Cameroon primary education, while the other, the Support to Primary Education Project (SPEP), began in 1984, and aims at improvements in the training and support system for primary school teachers in four of the country's ten provinces (one anglophone, and three francophone). The IPAR projects have not yet been implemented in schools, and by design the SPEP does not directly involve schools. The appraisal of these experiences comprises an of their significance in Cameroon primary educational change, and their organization, management and accomplishments thus far. Three broad perspectives of the concept of institutional development or viz, the intra-, inter-, and extra-institutional analytical perspectives, have been adopted as the analytical framework for appraising the performance of these projects, using an essentially illuminative methodology. In this thesis, the concept of institution is used broadly to refer to governmentwide administrative functions including such entities as project management units, while institutional or institutional analysis concerns the organisation and management of the various project systems, and the significance of these experiences in Cameroon primary educational change. The intra-institutional development perspective provides an analysis of the resource allocation (personnel and material) and management of the project unit, the inter-institutional development perspective provides an examination of the influence of other institutions in the administrative bureaucracy on the performance of these projects, while the extra-institutional development perspective provides an of the pertinence of project ideologies in relation to the broader aims of harmonizing and reforming Cameroon primary education. In conclusion, problems of implementing Cameroon educational change epitomized by the two projects are highlighted and discussed, and suggestions made towards thinking about existing and alternative strategies in Cameroon educational change, in general.

Volcanic carbonatites of the Kaluwe complex, Zambia - Turner, David C. (Journal of the Geological Society, 1988)
The Kaluwe carbonatite forms a thick, gently dipping sheet with a crescentic outcrop nearly 10 km long. It is composed largely of layered fragmental rocks and was originally interpreted as a sill-like intrusion, concordant with enveloping Karoo sandstones and emplaced episodically as fluidized suspensions of carbonatite fragments. The complex is re-interpreted as a sub-aerial volcanic accumulation of tuffs, agglomeratic tuffs, carbonatite lavas, and associated volcaniclastic sediments. Clasts in the tuffs include crystal and sovite fragments, and also fine-grained carbonatite fragments interpreted as blocks and lapilli of lava. The latter commonly have a trachytic texture with tabular calcite crystals and calcite pseudomorphs after nyerereite, indicating an original natrocarbonatite composition. A similar rock forms several non-fragmental layers, considered to be lava flows. The extrusive origin of the complex is shown by the presence of weathering and palaeosol horizons, of rubbly tops to lava flows, and of interbedded volcaniclastic arenites near the base of the succession. The entire upper part of the succession consists of conglomerates and arenites composed of re-deposited carbonatite volcanic material. Plutonic carbonatites, found as clasts in tuffs, are cumulates of calcite with layers in which apatite and magnetite are concentrated. The parent magma is considered to have been alkali carbonatite from which calcite and the minor non-carbonates crystallized to give sovite cumulates, with the residual alkaline melt being erupted as lavas and pyroclastics.

Expository Teaching Styles of Nigerian Science Teachers. Part 1: The Science Teaching Observation Schedule - Williams, Iolo Wyn; Buseri, John Cecil (Research in Science & Technological Education, 1988)
Abstract As a preliminary to a study of the expository styles of science teachers (reported in Part IT) 54 biology, chemistry and integrated science lessons in Rivers State, Nigeria were analysed using the Science Teaching Observation Schedule. Forty‐two lessons were observed directly and the remainder analysed from transcripts. Four clusters emerged. It is shown that the presentation of factual information was unremitting throughout every lesson and that the clusters arise from variations in less frequent categories of interaction. Cluster 1 lessons (N= 13) involve little other than information giving. Cluster 2 lessons (N=21) include fairly extensive questioning of a factual and simple problem‐solving nature. Cluster 3 lessons (N= 9) include, in addition, a marked concentration on experimental procedures, not usually accompanied by practical activities. Cluster 4 (N=11), which persists when the analysis is reduced to a two cluster solution, is characterised by moderate levels of teachers' statements relating to problem solving and to hypotheses but since the cluster comprises ten lessons analysed from transcripts this is believed to arise from differences in interpretation when statements are heard fleetingly and when considered at leisure. In no cluster was there any evidence of pupil‐pupil interaction. The results are compared with others from Britain, Canada and Indonesia.

Expository Teaching Styles of Nigerian Science Teachers, Part II The Explanation Appraisal Schedule - Williams, Iolo Wyn; Buseri, John Cecil (Research in Science & Technological Education, 1988)
Abstract This paper is primarily concerned with the development of an instrument for the analysis of teaching effectiveness in the expository mode adopted by most Nigerian science teachers. Building upon the Observation Schedule for Explaining devised by Brown & Hatton (1982) an 18‐category Explanation Appraisal Schedule was developed for analysing lesson transcripts, using a one‐minute time interval. Twelve fully transcribed lessons are analysed resulting in two clusters: the Fast‐Pedallers (N=5) and the Slow‐Pedallers (N=7). The Fast‐Pedallers' lessons display high incidences of negative characteristics such as Discontinuities and Vagueness, and are considered to be less coherent and less effective as exposition. The lessons analysed had previously been shown, using the Science Teaching Observation Schedule, to reflect a homogeneous style. This suggests that the EAS provides a discriminating instrument for use in analysing teaching effectiveness. All lessons are held to be low on explanation and high on assertion. Pupils are found to ask questions only in the face of total confusion and incomprehension.

Participation of the grassroots in rural development: "the case of the development education programme of the Catholic Diocese of Machakos Kenya". - Mulwa, Francis Wambua (Development, 1987)
An effective participation for grassroots development would only be realised where the grassroots have the freedom to make their own decisions and set their own development priorities, draw their own plans; implement (with their own built-in monitoring and evaluation systems) and ensure a fair share of the fruits of their work (including any costs thereof) for each member of their community. Some perspectives on grassroots participation for rural development A story is told of a development worker who went to a remote village. He was highly motivated and fully prepared to solve all the villagers' problems and transform the 'Primitive' community. However, he came to realise diat people lived under immense fear and apathy, not even prepared to do anything to change their situation. He soon learnt that this fear emanated from a 'strange' development in that village. The villagers reported diat they had of late noticed a 'monster' across die valley which mey believed was sent by the evil spirits to kill them. They went to show the development worker where die 'monster' was. At one stage the villagers were so afraid diey diey left him to face the 'beast' alone. After crossing the valley he discovered diat it was nodiing else but an overgrown water melon. Nevertheless, to satisfy die villagers, he acted 'brave' by drawing out his sword and dramatically cutting it into pieces as die villagers watched from a 'safe' distance. However, to his great dismay, die villagers could not welcome him back despite what he had done for diem. Why? They requested him to leave die
