Some aspects of drug use among students in Benin City, Nigeria - Ebie, John C.; Pela, Ona A. (Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 1981)
Abstract A review of the literature on drug abuse in Nigera shows the following: (1) abuse of drugs such as morphine, heroin, LSD and cocaine do not pose a serious problem; (2) the majority of the studies are carried out in one region and therefore cannot be generalized; (3) sampling procedures leave much to be desired. The present study, taking into consideration the above factors, was carried out to examine the pattern of drug use among school children in Benin City and where possible make comparisons with findings from other parts of the country. A questionnaire, which sought to gather information on personal and family background, drug knowledge, usage and academic achievements, among other variables, was administered to 350 boys and girls randomly selected from three of 13 secondary schools in Benin City. 323 (92%) of the 350 questionnaires were amenable to analysis, the age range of respondents between 11–21 years. 181 (56%) of them were males. All respondents reported knowledge of alcohol, with 215 (66.6%) taking it. None of the respondents reported having seen or used heroin, cocaine or LSD. Out of the 283 respondents that had heard of cannabis, only 71 (22%) reported having seen or handled it, while only males admitted using it. A smaller number of respondents (110) reported having knowledge of stimulants; 38 respondents claimed seeing or handling some form of stimulants and 12 males admitted using stimulants. A knowledge of sedatives and hypnotics was reported by 141 (43.4%) with more females having used them. Contrary to reports by some authors in Nigeria, 67.6% of the drug users were adjudged to be introverts. The results are discussed in relation to Nevadomsky's study which was carried out in the same region.

Petrogenesis and tectonic setting of late Precambrian ensimatic volcanic rocks, central eastern desert of Egypt - Stern, Robert J. (Precambrian Research, 1981)
Early stages in the geologic evolution of the central eastern desert of Egypt (CED) reflect an intense episode of ensimatic volcanic activity similar to modern magmatism of the ocean floors and island arcs. This paper reports results from studies of the petrology and petrogenesis, and interprets the significance of these Late Precambrian volcanic rocks. A three-fold stratigraphy is preserved in the basement of the CED. A basal section of oceanic crust includes ultramafics, gabbros and pillowed basalts. These older metavolcanics (OMV) are conformably succeeded by dominantly volcanogenic metasediments, which are in turn succeeded by a dominantly andesitic, calc-alkaline sequence of younger metavolcanics (YMV). The OMV and YMV are largely restricted to the CED in Egypt, but analogous terranes are found in northern Arabia. (40–400 ppm) and Ni (30–260 ppm). They are poor in K2O (0.05–0.92%), Rb (0.3–5.0 ppm) and Ba (11–89 ppm). On Ti-Zr-Cr-V-Ni-P discriminant diagrams, the OMV plot in the field of modern abyssal tholeiites. High K/Rb (450–1800) and light REE depletions support this inference, although K/Ba (25–45) is lower than modern mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). The sum of OMV geochemical characteristics requires that these magmas were derived by the fractional fusion of the mantle. It is suggested that the OMV were generated by 20–25% fractional melting of previously depleted mantle at depths of less than 60 km. Relatively little fractionation accompanied ascent to the surface, where the OMV were erupted in a primitive crustal environment, either a small oceanic rift or a back-arc basin. Metamorphism of the YMV resulted in little elemental redistribution. These andesites have sub-alkaline clinopyroxenes and major-element geochemical characteristics indistinguishable from modern calc-alkaline andesites. YMV andesites in the central and western CED have K/Rb = 400–600, K/Ba = 20–40 and are light REE-enriched and heavy REE depleted. High concentrations of Cr (50–150 ppm) and Ni (20–100 ppm) and low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7028–0.7030) indicate that these magmas were generated by melting in the mantle. Modelling studies and consideration of experimental data indicate that these andesites were formed by 2–10% fractional fusion of hydrous, undepleted, garnet therzolite at depths of 65 km or more in the mantle. The data show that an intense episode of instability, convection, and widespread melting occurred in the mantle beneath Afro-Arabia at the end of the Precambrian.

Relations between surface deformation, fault geometry, seismicity, and rupture characteristics during the El Asnam (Algeria) earthquake of 10 October 1980 - Yielding, Graham; Jackson, James; King, Geoffrey; Sinvhal, H.; Vita‐Finzi, Claudio; Wood, Robert M. (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1981)
The El Asnam earthquake of October 10, 1980 (Ms=7.3) produced surface faulting on a northeast-trending thrust fault of 30 km length with displacements of up to 6.5 m, though average displacements were about 3 m. In addition, widespread tensional features were formed, some in clear association with folding above the thrust, and others, in an area beyond the exposure of the thrust at the surface, which may be related to buried reverse faults. The observed thrust fault is split into southern, central and northern segments. Local and teleseismic data are examined to show that the main shock nucleated at the southwest end of the fault, and propagated 12 km northeast where a second rupture of approximately equal moment occurred, continuing the faulting a further 12 km northeast along the central segment. Both ruptures nucleated at about 8–10 km depth. Displacements were largest on the central segment, where they were probably enlarged by aftershocks, including one of mb=6.1 three hours after the main shock. The northern segment was much shorter than the other two, and showed smaller displacement. The junctions between fault segments are marked by distinct geomorphological characteristics and a change in strike of the faulting, as well as a sudden drop in the observed displacement. It appears that the rupture development is influenced by the changes in fault geometry between segments, and that such junctions or barriers have persisted through much of the late Quaternary.

Liver scanning using indium-113m at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. - Mulaisho, C; Kn, Mumba (PubMed, 1981)
Liver scanning, using the radio-isotope indium-113m (113mIn), can now be routinely performed at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. The dose used is 1 - 4 mCi. Liver scans have been performed on 48 subjects, including 10 healthy individuals, 16 patients with histologically proven hepatocellular carcinoma, 11 with clinical and laboratory evidence of portal hypertension and 11 with miscellaneous illnesses. Seven representative scans are illustrated. The procedure is easy, and gives a fairly accurate functional estimate of Kupffer cell mass. In hepatoma, the scan may be either larger than or smaller than normal and reflects more accurately the residual function of the Kupffer cells. In cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension, residual Kupffer cell mass is small. Consequently, most of the 113mIn is taken up by the splenic reticuloendothelial system, resulting in a large spleen scan. This technique, although fraught with major limitations, is a useful additional diagnostic tool in the management of chronic liver disease.

Locus of Control and Achievement of Nigerian School-Age Children - Galejs, Irma; D'Silva, Corinne (The Journal of Psychology, 1981)
Summary To investigate the relationship between locus of control and academic achievement and motivation of school-age children of Nigeria, the short form of Nowicki-Strickland Personal Reaction Survey was administered to 180 Nigerian children ranging in age from 9 to 13. Their motivation was assessed by teacher's ratings. Grades received in mathematics and reading/language were used as a measure of academic achievement. Findings indicated that internality was significantly related to academic achievement, but not to motivation. Results of a 2 (sex) × 4 (grade scores) analysis of variance indicate that the students who received higher grades perceived themselves as more internally oriented. No sex differences were found for any of the three measures used. Results support the conclusion that the relationship between academic achievement and locus of control are comparable cross-culturally.

A model case-study for teaching the principles of emergency medical referrals in a rural African setting - Kale, Oladele O. (Medical Education, 1981)
A model case-study for imparting knowledge of the principles of emergency medical referrals to medical students is described. The case-study, which is undertaken by small syndicate groups of students, effectively combines the advantages of group interraction with those inherent in a problem-solving approach. It has helped not only to stimulate student interest in a subject which many have found rather boring and theoretical, as with most other subjects related to organization of health services, but is also a pointer to the effectiveness of case methods as teaching tools.

Storm lag and related facies of the bioclastic limestones of the Eze-Aku Formation (Turonian), Nigeria - Banerjee, Indranil (Sedimentary Geology, 1981)
The predominantly siliclastic Eze-Aku Formation (Turonian) located in the southeastern Nigerian Basin contains scattered lenses and layers of bioclastic limestone which show three distinct facies: Facies 1 — Beds (0.2-1 m thick) of sparite-cemented grainstones grading laterally into cross-bedded medium sandstones, Facies 2 — Lenses (1–2 m thick, 0.1–2 km wide) of grainstones and wackestones within fine bioturbated silty sandstones. Facies 3 — Tabular units (1–2 m thick, 2–6 km wide) of wackestone within laminated black shale. Grainstones are interpreted as storm-lag deposits accumulated either at the margins of offshore bars (facies 1) or on the wide platform of bioturbated muddy sand located below the wave base (facies 2). Wackestones of facies 3 are believed to be deposited by high-density turbidity currents carrying shallow-water shells into the deeper basin. Wackestones of facies 2 are difficult to interpret but might have been deposited by smallscale storm-generated debris flows on a shallow platform.

This account is based on personal experience and on information supplied by others in the field. Background planning factors are considered with reference to development so far, and the nature of national development is described with particular reference to libraries. Special attention is paid to problems arising from the attempt to make modifications when using foreign models with regard to programmes, curricula and teaching methods. The importance of the staffing factor is stressed. Certain common patterns and problems can be distinguished and it is suggested that an examination of these should help with guidelines for the future.

Rainfall and Atmospheric Circulation during Drought Periods and Wetter Years in West Africa - Nicholson, Sharon E. (Monthly Weather Review, 1981)
The semiarid regions of Africa experienced a number of extreme rainfall fluctuations in the present century, most notable of which are the “wet” 1950's and the drought 1968–75. Thirty-seven century-long regional rainfall departure series evidence the continental scale and marked coherence of these anomalies and illustrate important climatic teleconnections. A comparison of sub-Saharan droughts and wetter years suggests that a northward displacement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) may account for wetter years, but that a weakened “intensity” of the rainy season, independent of ITCZ position, is the most likely cause of drought in the sub-Saharan region. This and the tendency for synchronous fluctuations north and south of the Sahara (i.e., tropical and extratropical regimes) suggest that changes in intensity of the Hadley circulation may be an important factor in West Africa rainfall fluctuations.

The contribution of education for self-reliance to manpower development in Tanzania — A critical appraisal - Adams, John (International Journal of Educational Development, 1981)
This paper is an attempt to describe the nature and scope of educational provision in Tanzania since 1967. It focusses on the implications of educational policy for the development of manpower which would be suited to the satisfaction of basic needs in rural areas. Tanzania since 1967 is reportedly attempting to implement what amounts to a basic needs strategy of development in line with the declared socialist objectives of the Government. This strategy is essentially a mixture of poverty and employment oriented strategies directed at satisfying essential human needs in areas such as health, education, safe water, housing and sanitation, and food supply as well as other requirements for a fully productive life. Although the provision of education is itself a basic need, it is also a vehicle for the production of trained manpower which is essential to the effective implementation of the basic needs strategy in the other sectors mentioned above. This paper presents preliminary and tentative impressions of the relevance of Tanzania's educational system to the Government's objective of meeting the basic needs of its people as soon as possible. The paper is divided into four sections: educational philosophy in Tanzania, educational growth and development, manpower implications and theoretical models explaining the development of educational resources in Tanzania since 1967. It concludes that, where planning has preceded political decisions, large measures of success have been achieved, but that, overall, political expediency and haste have created substantial divergences between policy and practice.

Secondary school leavers and the labour market in Swaziland - Sullivan, Gerard (International Journal of Educational Development, 1981)
Secondary education in Swaziland has rapidly expanded in the decade or so since independence. Alongside this achievement has been a growing apprehension that the modern sector's capacity to generate employment is not commensurate with the rising number of educated young people leaving secondary school. The emergence of a ‘school leaver problem’ as disenchanted educated youngsters remained unemployed was therefore seen as a real possibility towards the end of the 1970s. Such considerations formed the backcloth to tracer surveys conducted in 1979 which investigated the post-school experience of secondary school leavers who left school in the period 1973–1977. Some aspects of these surveys are discussed in this article which covers the experience of school leavers in finding out about jobs and training, waiting time for jobs, and estimates of unemployment. The occupations entered by school leavers are then assessed in relation to demand projections for educated manpower. These observations reveal that institutional arrangements for transferring school leavers from school to work are embryonic and for a large minority of leavers family and other influentiaal contacts are more important than qualifications in securing a job. For Form 3 Junior Secondary School leavers some credence may be given to the popular impression that unemployment is worsening but Form 5 High School leavers are experiencing little difficulty as yet in finding work. More tentatively it would appear that the marginal additions to the skilled labour force stemming from school leavers are not modifying the occupational structure in line with recent manpower projections. L'enseignement secondaire s'est rapidement développé au Swaziland, au cours des quelque dix années qui ont suivi son indépendance. Parallélement à cette expansion, on constate une inquiétude croissante: la possibilité, dans le secteur économique avancé, de fournir de l'embauche, ne correspond pas au nombre toujours plus élevé de jeunes ayant terminé leurs études secondaires. Le probléme des jeunes en fin de scolarité, que n'attendait que le désenchantement d'un chômage prolongé, s'est fait plus menacant vers la fin des années 70. Cette situation formait la toile de fond d'études menées en 1979, portant sur l'expérience post-scolaire de ces jeunes qui avaient quitté l'ćole au cours des années 73–77. Ces enquêtes figurent partiellement dans l'exposé qui suit, et qui met en relief les efforts de ces jeunes à la recherche d'un emploi ou d'une formation, et contraints d'attendre qu'un ‘job’ se présente; une évaluation approximative du taux de chômage y figure également. Les activiés dans lesquelles s'engagent les jeunes gens en fin de scolarité sont alors comparées numériquement aux besoins prévisibles d'une main-d'oeuvre relativement instruite. Il ressort de ces observations que les dispositions prises officiellement concernant le transfert école travail ne sont encore qu'en gestation; en outre, pour une minorité non négligeable des intéressés, la famille, entre autres influences, devance en importance les qualifications réglementaires pour l'obtention d'un emploi. Pour les élèves des écoles secondaires à cours moyens (dénommées “Junior Schools”), dont la scolarité prend fin avec la 3e année d'études, l'impression assez répandue que le chômage est en hausse est peut-être justifiée; cependant, ceux qui sortent des “High School” (dont le programme est comparable à celui des lycées francais) h'ont pur l'instant guére de difficulté à trouver du travail. Mais ce qui ressort, de facon d'essai, c'est que ces jeunes qui, en quittant l'école rejoignent, sur les chantiers d'embauche, les ouvriers spécialisés — allongeant quelque peu, de ce fait, la liste des candidats à l'emploi— ne modifient en rien les dispositions d'em-d'embauche conformes aux tendances actuelles de la répartition de la main d'oeuvre. En Swaziland la educación secundaria se ha expansionado rápidamente en poco más o menos la última década desde la independencia. Junto con este logro ha habido una creciente aprension que la capacidad del sector moderno para generar empleos no guarda relación con el número en aumento de jóvenes dejando la escuela secundaria. La emergencia de un ‘problema de alumnos al dejar la escuela’, con jóvenes educados desencantados permaneciendo sin trabajo fue considerada como una verdadera posibilidad hacia finales de los 70. Tales consideraciones formaron los estudios comprensivos realizados en 1979, investigándose la experiencia posescolar de los alumnos que terminaron sus estudios en las escuelas secundarias en el período 1973–1977. Algunos aspectos de estos estudios se discuten en este artículo, el cual cubre la experiencia de los alumnos saliendo de las escuelas y adquiriendo conocimientos sobre la manera de hallar trabajo y entrenamiento, tiempos de espera para hallar trabajo y estimaciones de desempleo. Luego se evalúan los puestos de trabajo ocupados por los alumnos saliendo de las escuelas en relación a las proyecciones de demanda de mano de obra educada. Estas observaciones revelan que las disposiciones institucionales para transferir los alumnos dejando la escuela desde la escuela al trabajo son embriónicas y para una gran minoría de alumnos dejando la escuela, para obtener trabajo la familia y otros contactos de influencia son más importantes que las cualificaciones. Para los alumnos dejando la escuela de la Clase 3 Junior de las Escuelas Secundarias algo de creencia puede darse a la impresión popular que el desempleo va empeorando, pero los alumnos dejando la escuela de la Clase 5 de las Escuelas Superiores por el momento tienen poca dificultad para hallar trabajo. Más tentativamente, parece ser que las adiciones marginales a la fuerza de mano de obra hábil, consecuencia de los alumnos dejando la escuela, no modifican las estructuras ocupacionales de acuerdo con las proyecciones recientes de mano de obra.

Combining a constructive rural orientation with academic quality: High school outstations in Papua New Guinea - Vulliamy, Graham (International Journal of Educational Development, 1981)
In common with other states, Papua New Guinea is addressing the problem of preparing educated young people to re-enter rural life and take up forms of self-employment. The Secondary Schools Community Extension Project is the newest of a line of experiments. This paper describes the philosophy of the project and focuses on a detailed observation of a key component, the outstation, in two of the pilot schools. A central concept is the integration of practical activities, preferably in cooperation with the people of a village, with the normal academic curriculum of the secondary school. The aim is of course to avoid conflict between the objectives of the project and the objectives of the students for success in the final examinations. The integration is facilitated by the style of the examinations, which are skill, rather than content based. The two pilot schools differed, each succeeding in some objectives but doing less well in others. Overall, the verdict is that the experiment promises to be of value in the transition from school to work in a predominantly rural developing country. La Papouasie (Nouvelle Guinée) fait face actuellement à un probléme commun à d'autres états: comment préparer les jeunes, une fois terminée leur scolarité, à se réitégrer à la vie rurale et à choisir une activité où ils travailleront à leur compte. Le projet d'extension de la Communauté des Ecoles Secondaires est la plus récente de la série d'experiences en cours. La communication qui suit explique le principe dudit projet, et s'attache surtout à en observer minutieusement un élément-clé, c'est-à-dire l'annexe de deux des écoles-pilotes. L'idée maîtresse serait d'incorporer des activités pratiques, si possible avec la coopération d'un village, au programme normal des éstudes secondaires. Il va de soi que l'on vise surtout à éviter tout conflit avec les objectifs du projet et ceux des étudiants, qui voudraient passer avec succés leurs examens terminaux. Cette intégration est rendue plus aisée par la nature même des examens: ils sont jugés d'aprés la méthode, plutôt que d'aprés le contenu. Les deux écoles-pilotes présentaient des différences: chacune atteignait certains de de ses objectifs, mais se classait moins bien pour d'autres. De facon générale, il ressort que l'expérience promet d'être valable lors de la transition école travail dans un pays en voie de développement, celui-ci étant surtout rural.

A study of dental caries in rural and an urban primary school of Zambia. - Baboo, K.S.; Bhatia, I K; Nkowane, Ben (PubMed, 1981)
320 children, 160 from a rural and 160 from an urban primary school were examined for dental caries. The urban children were found to have twice as much caries as their rural counterparts. Their D.M.F./df indices were also much higher. No significant sex difference was noted. The tribal distribution shows that the Tonga are the most susceptible tribe while the Lenje have the least caries. The relationship between caries and brushing habits, as well as consumption of confectionary was established. The commonest teeth affected and their relationship to age was also noted. It was concluded that urbanization has definitely contributed to the higher caries prevalence in the urban school children. Although the situation is not as bad as in the West, if it remains unchecked, 90% of the population may have caries in another 15 years.

A seroepidemiological study of measles infection in normal and handicapped persons in Lagos, Nigeria. - Ogunmekan, D. A.; Bracken, Paul; Marshall, W. C. (PubMed, 1981)
Serological studies in a group of children showed that there was a high degree of immunity to measles at birth (100%), but this decreased rapidly so that by the age of 5 months there was 36% immunity and by 7-8 months the level had dropped to 5%. However, there was a gradual rise from the age of 9 months onwards, so that by the age 6-9 years there was 75% immunity and from 10 years onwards there was 100% immunity. The findings suggest that measles vaccination can be given from the age of 6 months onwards, but this needs to be confirmed by further studies. There is need to compare children under the age of 5 years who are blind or deaf with a control group in order to determine the aetiological role of measles infection in these handicaps in Lagos.

Urban Community Health Education in Africa - Brieger, William R.; Adeniyi, Joshua D. (The International Quarterly of Community Health Education, 1981)
African urban populations are growing at a fast rate. The resulting health problems pose a challenge to health education. A community development, self-help approach is recommended. Experiences of health educators-in-training in Ibadan, Nigeria, show this approach to be relevant if practitioners are able to creatively deal with certain community variables-community identity, internal integration, group orientation, external linkage and resource characteristics. At times students express concern about the relevance of this approach to the African setting. Their failures in applying the approach can be traced back to the western bias in teaching materials and the general educational system. The challenge to health educators is to provide training experiences with a cultural sensitivity which encourages students to work with the community as they find it and not how it should be according to a foreign textbook.

Nutritional status, globulin titers, and parasitic infections of two populations of Tanzanian school children - Carswell, F.; Hughes, A. O.; Palmer, Rachel; Higginson, J; Harland, P. S. E. G.; Meakins, R. H. (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1981)
Two schools in rural Tanzania were surveyed regarding the pupils' nutrition (weight and height), serum immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgE), autoantibodies, malaria antibodies, hepatitis B antigenemia, and fecal and urinary parasites. The survey attempted to quantify the relative importance of undernutrition and parasitic infestation in determining the serological abnormalities found. Of all the children surveyed 69% were undernourished (less than 80% of expected weight for age); 63% had fecal parasites and 38% had urinary schistosomiasis. Serum IgG and IgM concentrations were raised and the serum IgE concentration was strikingly raised (mean 4990IU/ml). Elevated serum IgE was associated with ascariasis. Autoantibodies were common but no autoimmune disease was detected. Notably there was a 35% prevalence of reticulin antibody. This reticulin antibody positivity correlated with increased malaria antibody concentrations. Reduced malaria antibody concentration was significantly associated with hepatitis B antigenemia. The study illustrates that parasites, notably malaria, are important determinants of the serum antibodies of children in the tropics and suggests that mild undernutrition has little effect.

Relationship between oil pollution and psammolittoral meiofauna density of two South African beaches - Fricke, A. H.; Hennig, H.; Orren, M. J. (Marine Environmental Research, 1981)
The effects of stranded oil from a tanker collision off the South African coast on the meiofauna ratio and density have been monitored over a period of 1 year on two sandy beaches. The perturbation of two beaches was judged against reference beach meiofauna density behaviour. In the undisturbed beach, oil deposited in sediment depressed harpacticoid copepod numbers, while numbers of nematodes stayed similar to those of the reference levels. Removal of surface sand in the mechanically disturbed beach had a greater influence on the density of animals than oil. Both beaches showed recovery after six months, but evidence of pollution by oil of unknown origin was found.

Summary Nigerian medical students (N = 183) were assessed with a 58-item general questionnaire, the Health Opinion Survey, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). The social, demographic, and related characteristics of the Ss were described. On the EPQ both male and female Ss obtained considerably higher mean scores than British Ss of the standardization sample. For males P, E, and N mean scores were of the same order as scores obtained by British Ss. Females had lower N scores and higher P and E scores than the British. There were significant associations between N scores and past treatment for emotional complaints and between the latter and E scores. The relationship between self-assessed mental health and N scores was almost significant at the .05 level.

Stages of transition concurrently found among South African families are detailed and examples of resultant pathology are presented. Emphasis is given to specific therapeutic dilemmas facing the South African family therapist. These include the feasibility of intervention in the extended family, the problems associated with intervention across cultural boundaries and the appropriateness of specific therapeutic goals. The current status of training is outlined and the prerequisites for effective service and training are highlighted.

[Plasmodium falciparum and drepanocytic gene in Popular Republic of Congo. I. Prevalence of malaria and drepanocytic trait among school children in Brazzaville area (author's transl)]. - Michel, R.; Coriat, Pierre; Mf, Bosseno; Jf, Molez; Brandicourt, O.; Zoulani, A.; Michel, Yvonne (PubMed, 1981)
From 1978 to 1979, 5 surveys, among schoolchildren, were carried out during the rainy season in the neighbourhood of Brazzaville (R.P. Congo): 3 in PK 45 village (northern part of the capital), 2 in Djoumouna village (southern part), and 1 in "Talangai" (a suburb of the capital). 868 exams (plasmodic and splenic index fitted with hemoglobin composition [Hb AA or Hb AS]) were done. It appeared that 19,6% of schoolchildren examined were heterozygous sicklers (AS). This percentage confirmed the previous results from other authors in different countries of Central Africa. On the other hand, in spite of an intense transmission, both plasmodic and splenic index were, on the average, relatively low (24,5 and 24,8% respectively). Plasmodium falciparum was largely predominant (95,3% of infections) but P. ovale and P. malariae were also found (1,9% for each species). From our study no obvious "protecting effect" can be attributed to sickle cell trait because plasmodic index of children AA and AS were similar (23,8 and 27,6% respectively). A slight decrease of splenic index was noticed in AS in regard to AA (19,4 and 26.1% respectively). It is difficult to consider this no significative regression as a definitive proof of a premunition stronger in AS than in AA. Effectively some splenic infarctus are well known to be a regular physiopathological process occurring in homozygous SS but often in heterozygous AS too. In such highly endemic and stable malaria area the problem of a suitable antimalaria strategy remains to be solved.

Attitude of Yoruba of Western Nigeria to handicap in children - Okunade, A (Child: Care, Health and Development, 1981)
An assessment was made of the attitude of the Yoruba of Western Nigeria to visual, auditory and physical handicaps in children. The results indicate that although a good number of the Yoruba community exhibits positive attitudes to handicaps in children, significant differences were observed between the attitudes of the Western-educated élite and their illiterate counterparts living in traditional settings. The Western-educated group is less favourably disposed to handicaps in children than their counterparts in the traditional settings. Finally, there is a need for public education about the ascertainment of handicaps in children, their care and education. Nurses have a major role to play in this regard.

Community Health Education in Rural Ghana: The Danfa Project—An Assessment of Accomplishments - Ward, W. Peter; Neumann, Alfred K.; Pappoe, Matilda (The International Quarterly of Community Health Education, 1981)
The Danfa Comprehensive Rural Health and Family Planning Project was a joint effort of the Ghana Medical School, the Ministry of Health, UCLA, and USAID. A health education component was developed as an integral part of program inputs during the initial conceptual phase of the project. As a result non-equivalent experimental and control areas were designated permitting an assessment of program impact during a five-year period (1972–1977) for which baseline and follow-up study data were available. A new cadre of community-based workers (Health Education Assistants) was developed from existing health personnel in the country, and trained in health education and multipurpose health work. Although the HEAs were found to have difficulty in bringing about changes in health practices when other support services were not available, they did have measurable impact on villagers' adoption of family planning methods and a number of specific health practices.

Trends in population education in Africa south of the Sahara - Ao, Ukaegbu (1981)
This document presents the activities being conducted in Africa south of the Sahara in the field of population education. 2 major factors influenced the development of population education in Africa: 1) the recommendations of international organizations especially Unesco; and 2) observations by local experts on specific demographic and cultural aspects of a single nation. Regional seminars on population education have been held in 1971 1976 and 1979. Among the principal problems discussed were the high mortality rate sterility rural-urban migration underemployment and unemployment. The attitude of most African countries towards population education has also been influenced by national perceptions of demographic problems. For example of 41 countries observed in 1979 24 considered the problem of spatial distribution to be the major one in the country and only 9 were concerned principally with lowering the high fertility rate and with educating the population on matters of fertility control. Several international agencies such as the Food and Agricultural Organization the World Health Organization Pathfinder and the World Bank are involved in formal and less formal projects of population education in Africa. Population education must be integrated into the already existing school curricula. The document contains an annex with a very brief review of the known activities in population education currently going on in 15 African countries.

Earthquake activity in southeastern Ghana (1977-1980) - Bacon, Michael P.; Quaah, Amos Ofori (Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1981)
Although Ghana is remote from the major earthquake zones, it is moderately active seismically, with a history of earthquakes damaging the capital, Accra. Seismic recording with a variety of instruments during 1977 to 1980 has enabled us to develop a crustal velocity model and locate epicenters. Most of the earthquakes occur in an area to the west of Accra around the junction of two major fault systems, the east-west trending Coastal Boundary fault and the NNE trending Akwapim fault zone. Fault plane solutions suggest a mixture of normal faulting on the Akwapim fault zone (in agreement with geological evidence) and strike-slip faulting, in response to a regional ESE tensional stress perhaps caused by strike-slip movement along the Romanche fracture zone. In view of the high stress suggested by the low b value for the recorded events, precautions against earthquake hazard in Accra would be timely.

[Determination of normal pressure in 15756 African school children from 11 to 18 years old in the Ivory Coast. Comparative study of an African group and an European group]. - Bertrand, É.; Ravinet, L.; Coly, Mame Ngoné (PubMed, 1981)
Blood pressure readings of 15756 coloured African schoolchildren aged between 11 and 18 years old were studied. The measurements were casual readings. The study group was not perfectly representative of the school population. However, from the practical point of view, the data may be used in the whole Ivory Coast school population in the 11 to 18 years age range. The distribution of the average readings with respect to age and sex is indicated on Table II. Abnormally high blood pressure was defined as readings greater than the average BP + 2 standard deviations, to the nearest 0,5 cm Hg (to take the practical problems of BP measurement into account). Under these conditions, all boys and girls between 11 and 18 years of age with BP greater than or equal to 150/90 (except boys of 17-18 years of age for whom the limit was 155/95) were considered to be hypertensive. According to these criteria the prevalence of hypertension in coloured African schoolchildren was: -systolic hypertension: 4,86% boys and 4,03% girls; -diastolic hypertension: 4,20% boys and 5,09% girls; -systolic or diastolic hypertension: 6,77% boys and 7,54% girls; -systolic and diastolic hypertension: 2,29% boys and 1,57% girls. In fact, these would be children "at risk" rather than hypertensive. The true number of hypertensive children would only become apparent on follow-up. A comparison with coloured African and white European schoolchildren in the same schools in Abidjan showed that the average BP readings and prevalence of hypertension was higher in the coloured population but the difference was not always statistically significant. The small number of European children made comparison difficult. The data obtained was compared to previously reported series but it was difficult to draw conclusions because of differences in methodology.

Ghana and Indonesia: Reforms in non-formal education at the community level - Evans, David R. (PROSPECTS, 1981)
During the 1070s nonformal education was heavily promoted as a means to address inequities in access to education decrease the distance between education and activities of daily life promote rural development and accelerate political participation and social development. The major target population for such programs included the very poor women isolated rural populations and adults who had been unable to attend school. Recent analyses however suggest that such programs have had little impact on the overall educational system and have been handicapped by their lower resource level lower status and lack of socially validated power to certify their products. This paper describes 2 attempts to revitalize and reform existing adult or community education programs. The 1st case the Peoples Education Association (PEA) of Ghana instituted reforms centered around 4 approaches: the training of village facilitators adult literacy activities use of cultural group performances and a vocational trades program. Although all 4 approaches have proved feasible PEA has been handicapped by its lack of a full-time staff and inadequate resource base. The changes of regional-level reforms spreading to the national educational structure remain poor until these basic structural limitations can be addressed. The 2nd case the Community Education (Penmas) Directorate in Indonesia in contrast is larger in size than PEA and receives substantial resources from the government. An ongoing problem has been how to balance administration and monitoring by a large-scale bureaucracy with maintenance of flexibility and sensitivity to unique local situations. At present decision making and resources are being shifted to provincial level offices in a move toward decentralization. The Penmas program is significant in its potential for reaching the mass of the population; even if fully implemented the PEA reform would be unlikely to affect more than 5000 people.

Schistosoma haematobium in Ajara community of Badagry, Nigeria. A study on prevalence, intensity and morbidity from infection among primary school children. - Gc, Ejezie; Ma, Ade-Serrano (PubMed, 1981)
A prevalence, intensity and morbidity study was carried out at a primary school amongst 681 pupils aged 6-15 years. A comprehensive medical examination including urinalysis was carried out. Attendance at school and average grades scored during the preceding schoolyear were used as crude indiced of performance. The overall prevalence rate was 24%. The mean egg count was 435 ova/10 ml urine in infected children. Haematuria was observed in 65% of infected children with the greatest intensity in patients with the highest egg count. Both the haematocrit (PCV) and haemoglobin concentrations bore no relationship to the intensity of infection; whilst there was a direct relationship between the level of proteinuria and the number of ova excreted. Proteinuria of more than 100 mg/100 ml was found in 54% of subjects and in 23% of these it was 300 mg/100 ml. Anthropometric measurements were not related to intensity of infection nor were attendance and the average scored during the preceding schoolyear. It is concluded that probably only minimal morbidity is associated with S. haematobium infection in this area; this may be explained by the relatively low intensity of infection including acquired immunity and the seasonal pattern of transmission.

Intellectual Maturity in Nigerian Primary School Children - Jegede, R. Olukayode; Bamgboye, Elijah A. (South African Journal of Psychology, 1981)
This study was done with the aim of assessing the intellectual maturity of children attending typical free primary schools in Ibadan. Human figure drawings produced by 416 boys and 766 girls attending two non-fee paying primary schools were scored using the scoring system introduced by Koppitz. Data analysis shows that intellectual maturity, measured by the scores on the human figure drawings, is significantly related to age. In addition there is a significant interaction between age and sex: girls tend to score higher than boys at certain ages. The findings are discussed in relation to the effects of age, sex and social class, and the use of human figure drawings to measure intellectual maturity.

Teacher training in Egypt: problems and prospects - Mina, Fayez M. (Revue ATEE, 1981)
ABSTRACT Mina, Fayez M. “Teacher training in Egypt: problems and prospects,” Revue ATEE Journal 1981 (4) 69‐75. The article deals with problems and prospects of teacher training in Egypt. Such problems are interrelated though they could be classed as quantitative and qualitative ones. Unqualified teachers constitute a major problem especially in technical and primary education. There is a need to link the policy of admission in faculties of education with the actual needs of the country as well as to introduce radical changes in their curricula in order to cope with forthcoming educational innovations, especially introducing basic education and some curriculum innovations. In‐service teacher training is a major priority of the Egyptian Ministry of Education, but needs deep changes both in its content and methods. Reference is made to the experience of professional training for university staff, especially on the model of Ain Shams University, and its effects on university education. It is concluded that major areas of developing teacher training in Egypt in the following few years would be: upgrading primary school teachers, preparing teachers for basic education and technical education, introducing considerable changes concerning the policy of admission in faculties of education, inservice teacher training programmes and curricula of teacher training.

Poor distant vision in post-primary school in Benin city - Alakija, Wole (Public Health, 1981)
Snellen's chart was used to screen 965 pupils (538 boys, 427 girls) in all-male and all-female post-primary schools in Benin City. 19·9% of males and 25·6% of females were found to have a minor defect of distant vision. The peak age when pupils develop this abnormality is between 13 and 14 years. There is no statistical evidence that it is related to social class, but a positive correlation exists with the total hours of study per day. Statistically significant differences in poor distant vision were also noted among pupils and their parents and between day students and boarders. Of the 216 with visual defect, 60% were unaware of their defect and only 20% of those who knew their disabilities wore glasses. A free ophthalmic service for school children, ophthalmic training for school teachers, more trained optometrists by the Bendel State Government and more regular screening for eye defect in school children are advocated.

The El Asnam (Algeria) earthquake of 10 October 1980; conclusions drawn from a field study - Ambraseys, N. N. (Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology, 1981)
The El Asnam earthquake (M LH = 7.2; M LV = 7.3; M PV = 6.5) occurred at 12:24:24 G.M.T. on 10 October 1980 in the central part of the Chelif valley in Algeria affecting a rather densely populated region of about 900 000 within 7000 km 2 . (Ambraseys 1980). It destroyed at least 25 000 housing units and rendered 300 000 people homeless. The main shock, which killed about 2500 and injured more than 7000 people, was felt as far away as Spain 550 km distant. It was followed by a damaging aftershock 3 hr later (M LV = 6.1; M PV = 5.9). No foreshocks were recorded, but other phenomena have been reported which could have been premonitory (Fig. 1a). The El Asnam earthquake is the largest event in the Atlas since 1790, and in the Chelif valley since 1716. For the Atlas as a whole, the moment rate calculated from long-term observations is only 10 25 dyn-cm/year. This corresponds to a slip rate of only 0.7 mm/year which is a small fraction of the value calculated from plate motions, implying that much of the deformation of the Atlas occurs aseismically and that the tectonic activity of the region is not fully reflected by its short-term seismicity. This is a serious handicap in the assessment of the earthquake hazard in the Atlas. The frequency distribution of events above magnitude 4 3/4 was found to be f(M) = 2.2 exp(-2.2 M ), with a probable cut-off at about M = 7 1/4 to which corresponds a return period

Some comments on the curriculum for training teachers for the primary school system in Bendel State Nigeria - Ezewu, Edward E. (Journal of Education for Teaching, 1981)
This study was designed to determine the adequacy of the quality of training in terms of the programme of studies offered to the teacher‐trainees in Bendel State, Nigeria, in preparation for their role as primary school teachers. When the content of the training was evaluated against the general aims and objectives for teacher‐education in Nigeria and the objectives of primary education, it was found that: The aims and objectives for teacher‐education at the teachers’ grade II level in Nigeria are not sufficiently plausible to facilitate their meaningful translation into concrete and observable actions. The grade II teacher‐trainees are not adequately equipped, in terms of the content of their training, to discharge their responsibilities effectively in order that the objectives of primary education may be realized. It is, therefore, suggested that teacher education at the level under consideration demands a new direction whereby the trainees will be equipped with appropriate skills, knowledge, attitudes and values.

Drawing Styles of Schooled and Unschooled Adults: A Study in Ghana - Jahoda, Gustav (The Quarterly journal of experimental psychology. A, Human experimental psychology, 1981)
The study is a replication of the work of Willats (1977), who identified six classes of drawing systems in a sample of schoolchildren in London. The primary aim was to discover whether, as Willats claimed, the drawing systems were largely independent of formal teaching and that the depiction of overlap followed a line of development distinct from that of drawing systems. Results comparing schooled and entirely unschooled Ghanaian adults essentially confirmed Willats’ findings. Nearly all Ghanaian drawings could be reliabily allocated to Willats’ classes, and the distribution of classes was unrelated to experience of elementary schooling: by contrast, depiction of overlap was significantly enhanced by schooling. While the Ghanaian data generally support Willats’ scheme, they also suggest certain modifications in the definition of classes and raise questions about their implications, which are discussed.

Some Insights into the Problem of Adult Education Participation in Nigeria - Urevbu, Andrew O. (Research in Education, 1981)
This study investigated the influence of selected positional and psychological factors on evening-class participants in two states in Nigeria: North-Central and North-Western states. * The study also described the motivational bases of their participation. It was regarded as necessary to duplicate this study and know whether or not the characteristics and motivation of participants in the two states are similar. This should be important to researchers since comparisons between two states might lead to valid generalisations. The practical value of this study is that it revealed some characteristics of the people who attend this kind of class. The exploration of the problem of participation at a multivariate level was suggested.

Alcohol abuse among high school students in Benin City, Nigeria - Oshodin, O. G. (Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 1981)
Data on alcohol practices and reasons for drinking alcohol were collected from a sample of 500 high school students in Benin City, Nigeria. By means of frequency and percentages of responses to items relating to alcohol practices and reasons for drinking alcohol, results showed that among the 87 per cent of students who indicated that they drink, many students (about 40 per cent or more) reported a pattern of drinking practices and reasons for drinking alcohol that indicated a high degree of alcohol abuse.

Comparative Study of the Opinions and Beliefs of Undergraduate Students in Nigeria and the United States toward Family Size - Owie, Ikponmwosa (Journal of the American College Health Association, 1981)
Abstract Previous studies have indicated that fertility tends to be inversely related to level of education. Thus the author hypothesized that there would be no difference between the undergraduates of a Nigerian university and those at an American university with regards to opinions on family size. This null hypothesis was found to be untrue; Nigerian students, both male and female, preferred large families when compared to their U.S. counterparts.

The Somalian earthquakes of May, 1980, East Africa - Ruegg, Jean; Lépine, Jean-Claude; Tarantola, A.; Lévêque, Jean Jacques (Geophysical Research Letters, 1981)
A seismic crisis, with a m b = 5.3 main shock, occured in the Somali Republic, East Africa (10°N, 43°E) from April to November 1980. Up to 2000 earthquakes with M L > 2 have been recorded during this period. This earthquake sequence is of particular interest because it occured in a seismically inactive zone and include a rather long aftershock sequence. Two groups of epicenters were identified using a relative location procedure. Aftershocks observed during the first two weeks fall very close to the Borama city, while latter shocks are situated 10km west. This may suggest that the second group of earthquakes has been induced by the first one. These data show that the continental margin between the Somalian Plateau shield and the quasi‐oceanic crust of the Afar‐Gulf of Aden region, remains active to day and is relevant to intraplate seismicity.

A Model of Management Education In Africa - Safavi, Farrokh (Academy of Management Review, 1981)
Despite abundant natural resources, Africa faces a bleak economic future, owing in large part to its inability to train capable managers. In this article I present a dynamic model of management education in Africa, based on extensive field research. Among the many variables comprised in the model, those of greatest relevance to aid-giving countries are the pre-university educational system, the strong Western influence in management curricula and teaching methods, the lack of facilities for providing practical experience, and the relationship between governments and universities. Knowledge of weaknesses in the system and of differences between the needs of African and Western management should make it possible to develop more effective management education programs in Africa.

NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND SEVERITY OF DIARRHOEA AMONG PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN IN RURAL NIGERIA - Tomkins, Andrew (The Lancet, 1981)
The influence of pre-existing malnutrition on the severity of diarrhoea was investigated by assessing attack-rate and duration of diarrhoea in children aged between 6 months and 32 months at the beginning of the rainy season in Malumfashi village area, northern Nigeria. There were 1.4 attacks of diarrhoea per child during the 3 month rainy season and children spent 10.5% of the time with diarrhoea. The frequency of diarrhoea was not increased in underweight (less than 75% weight/age) or stunted (less than 90% height/age) children, but those who were wasted (less than 80% weight/height) experienced 47% more episodes of diarrhoea than those who were not wasted. However, pre-existing malnutrition affected the duration of diarrhoea, which was 33% longer in underweight children, 37% longer in stunted children, and 79% longer in wasted children.

The parasitic diseases of school children in Lagos State, Nigeria. - Gc, Ejezie (PubMed, 1981)
A survey of 5,595 primary school children in Lagos State showed that most of the children were over-loaded with parasitic infestations which included malaria (37.7%), schistosomiasis (13.4%). ascariasis (74.2%), trichuriasis (75.8%), hookworm (29.5%) and tungiasis (49.5%). Multiple infections were observed with about 16.2% harbouring all the causative organisms of the parasitic diseases enumerated above. The high prevalence of parasitic infestations among these children is an index of the community's low level of health and also of inadequate health education, because most of these diseases are preventable if the people are told what to do.

Amphibole-Bearing Inclusions from Boisa Island, Papua New Guinea: Evaluation of the Role of Fractional Crystallization in an Andesitic Volcano - Gust, David; Johnson, R. W. (The Journal of Geology, 1981)
Boisa Island is the tip of a Quaternary island-arc volcano. It consists of an older cone made up of porphyritic, amphibole-free, mafic rocks, and two younger cumulodomes of hornblende-bearing high-silica andesite. One of the cumulodomes contains coarse-grained igneous inclusions consisting of amphibole, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, olivine, and spinel. Some of these minerals in the andesites themselves have both cognate and xenocrystal components. Both the anhydrous phenocryst assemblage in the basalts and the amphibple-bearing assemblage of the inclusions provide low residuals in least-squares linear-mixing calculations, suggesting that fractionation of either assemblage in the basalts could have given rise to the andesites. However, this is not supported by the results of Rayleigh-fractionation calculations for several incompatible elements. Four possible interpretations are: (1) the Rayleigh-fractionation results are inappropriate and misleading; (2) the andesites were formed by crystal fractionation of a mafic parental magma not represented on Boisa Island; (3) mixing of a fractionated parental magma with an incompatible-element depleted mafic magma (also not represented on Boisa); (4) mixing of mafic crystals represented by the Boisa inclusions with a magma richer in than the most felsic rocks on Boisa. This last interpretation is supported by petrographic evidence, but the origin and nature of the postulated felsic magma remain unclear.

Barriers to the rehabilitation of the handicapped in Nigeria - Oyemade, Adefunke; Olugbile, A. O. B. (Public Health, 1981)
In recent years there has been an increasing awareness in Nigeria of the need to help the handicapped lead an independent life. Such rehabilitation processes have however been greatly hampered by some social factors. This paper highlights some of these factors, which include poverty, ignorance, prejudice, cultural beliefs and practices. It is suggested that some of these social barriers can be removed by giving guidance and supportive measures to the families of the disabled and also by the introduction of an effective social security scheme. In addition, the attitude towards the handicapped can be greatly improved by educating the community as to the true causes of handicaps.

Contradictions and skepticism: How Egyptian students view the peace process - Azar, Edward E.; Al-Mashat, Abdul-Monem M. (International Interactions, 1981)
Abstract This study reports the results of a survey conducted in January, 1980, at Cairo University where 131 seniors in political science expressed some salient attitudes towards the peace process. Israel was perceived by about one‐fourth of the sample as an enemy who is not taking serious positive steps to resolve the Arab‐Israeli conflict, especially the issue of Palestinian autonomy. Yet, almost as many respondents indicated a desire to visit Israel as a refusal to do so on the grounds Israel was an enemy. The treaty between Egypt and Israel was perceived as a message to the United States that Egypt seeks greater cooperation with it. Attitudes towards Arabism and Arab governments were mixed. The majority favored Arabism and felt positively about Arab capabilities vis a vis Israel. However, Arab governments were negatively perceived. Favorable attitudes towards the US were disclosed; they were linked to its role in the resolution of the Arab‐Israeli conflict. By contrast, strongly unfavorable attitudes towards the USSR were expressed; they were linked more to the USSR's international than its regional behavior.

The Regional Equalization of Health Care and Education in Syria Since the Ba'thi Revolution - Drysdale, Alasdair (International journal of Middle East studies, 1981)
Virtually all underdeveloped countries suffer acute and sometimes debilitating geographical inequalities in the distribution of wealth and opportunity. These spatial inequities exist at all levels: between regions, between urban and rural areas, and between center and periphery. Some regional planners view such imbalances as essentially transitory and argue that with increasing economic development, wealth and opportunity will eventually spill over from growth centers and trickle down through the urban hierarchy to backward, less-developed areas.

Dental caries in South African Black and White high school pupils in relation to sugar intake and snack habits - Walker, Alexander; Dison, E.; Duvenhage, A; Walker, B. F.; Friedlander, Ivan; Aucamp, Vorster (Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1981)
Abstract DMFT scores, total sugar intakes and snack habits were determined in 1918 South African Black pupils (923 rural, 995 urban) and 724 White pupils (English and Afrikaans speaking) aged 16–18 years inclusive. Mean DMFT scores of school groups of Black pupils (both sexes) ranged from 0.9 and 2.0 in rural areas, to 4.2–6.7 in urban areas (where data were far higher than such obtained 7 years ago), and were 9.2 and 10.2 for White pupils. Corresponding mean daily sugar intakes were ‐ rural Blacks, 69 g and 97 g, urban Blacks 118–141 g, respectively (all slightly higher than previously); and Whites 102 g and 123 g. Mean DMFT scores of girls were higher than those of boys; yet while mean sugar intakes of Black girls and boys were somewhat similar, White girls' intakes were much lower than those of White boys. In the ethnic‐sex groups studied, mean DMFT scores for pupils in upper, compared with lower, third of sugar intake, were higher in nine of the 14 sub‐groups. Mean DMFT scores in upper, compared with lower, third of exposure to snack practices were higher in 11 of the 14 groups. However, most of the differences were slight. In further research, more intensive enquiries should be pursued on roles of ethnic and familial factors, as well as on roles of inter‐acting dietary components additional to sugar and sugar‐containing foods.

THE NATIONAL LEPROSY TRAINING CENTRE, WAU, SOUTHERN SUDAN (Leprosy Review, 1981)
In the Southern Sudan, after the conclusion of the Civil War in 1971, the Government was faced with the tremendous task of reconstruction.Lik e much else, health services had been severely disrupted, hospitals and dispensaries destroyed and personnel dispersed or lost.Although there were no exact figures, it was known that leprosy prevalence was higher in the South than in other parts of the country.It was also recognized that the return and resettle ment of refugees, as well as the movement of large numbers of the population associated with the work of reconstruction would be likely to increase the risk of transmission of the disease, and that this, in its turn, would lead to increased disability and invalidity and so to a reduction in the net benefits of this reconstruction to the community at large.From the beginning, therefore, the Government sought the assistance of WHO so that leprosy control would be an integral part of its health care delivery planning.It was clear fr om the outset that considerable financial aid fr om international and non governmental agencies would be required to re-establish even a modest basic health service and that one of the priority needs would be for the training of the personnel required at dispensary and health unit level.The conception of a rural leprosy control programme, based on a referral hospital and training centre which, being a practical example of the basic principles of community health could provide appropriate training in leprosy for the health perso nnel of the whole country , was readily accepted both by the Government and the German Leprosy Relief Association, which undertook to finance the construction and to run the Centre fo r an initial period of two years.The practical difficulties were immense.There was no local source of building materials and the only reliable means of communication with the capital, Khartoum, was by air.Accordingly , . it was decided to bring in the necessary supplies from Kenya and to carry out the work with local labour, supervised by expatriate volunteer technicians.Inevitably, there were delays and frustr ations, but slowly all the interdependent parts of this comprehensive, self-sufficient unit, were completed and in November 1979 the Centre was officially opened -though, of course, work both in the hospital and in the rural leprosy control area had already started before this.The Centre is about 20 km from the town of Wau and occupies an area of 6 sq km, part of which has been developed as farmland to provide food crops, fruit and vegetables fo r the hospital.There are well-constructed houses for the staff, including six fo r senior staff fa milies.The hospital complex comprises administrative offices, an out-patient department, wards with 50 beds, and ancillary services (X-ray , operating theatre , physiotherapy depart ment, laboratory and pharmacy).There is a separate building for the hospital kitchen and laundry and extensive workshops to ensure regular maintenance of both buildings and transport, and one for orthopaedic appliances and fo otwear.

A study of primary teachers attitudes towards the ruralisation of school curriculum in English-speaking Cameroon - Abangma, M. A. (1981)
In 1974, Institut de Pedagogie Appliquee a Vocation Rurale (I.P.A.R) Buea was set up to collect and collate information, carry out research, and prepare a report with proposals to the Cameroon Government suggesting what curricular and other related reforms should be introduced into the primary school system to give it a greater environmental and rural orientation. In 1977 I.P.A.R produced its Report on the Reform of Primary Education which called for some major and radical changes in curricular, structures, organisation, examination process, teaching methods, and other pedagogical practices of primary teachers. This study is concerned with the proposed reform and with the attitudes of primary school teachers towards some of the major and radical proposals in the report. Specifically an attempt is made to ascertain how favourable or negative primary teachers are to some of the proposals. A further objective is to improve the understanding of the sources of different attitudes by relating positive attitudes (or reform-mindedness) to a series of 'explanatory' variables which include a set of biographical background; characteristics of the teachers' pedagogical background; and aspects of the teachers' orientation towards their occupational role. A broad hypothesis was adopted that 'primary teachers' attitudes towards the different reform issues will be correlated to reflect a common attitudinal dimension of general reform-mindedness'. Statistical analysis confirmed this hypothesis. Other minor hypotheses which were adopted were either confirmed or rejected depending upon the 'explanatory' variable used to analyse the teachers' responses. The thesis is divided into five parts. The first part (Chapters One and Two) consists of the conceptualisation of the problem and analyses the framework within which the proposed reform has to operate. Part two (Chapters Three and Four) describes the primary school system, its curriculum, its historical genesis, its present nature and the pressure for change. Part three (Chapters Five and Six) outlines the major reform proposals, indicating items chosen for the questionnaire and describes the characteristics of the primary school teachers. In part four (Chapters Seven and Eight) the survey design is described and hypotheses adopted. The last, part five (Chapters Nine and Ten) analyses the results, discusses these results and considers some of the implications deriving from them leading to certain suggestions on the way future policy may evolve.

Correlation of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytemia with complement component titers in rural Nigerian school children - Ade-Serrano, M A; Ejezie, G. C.; Kassim, Olakunle O. (Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981)
The relationship between Plasmodium falciparum gametocytemia and the complement components C3, C4, and C3b was investigated in 141 ambulant rural Nigerian school children. Three groups were studied. Group 1 included 42 children with circulating P. falciparum gametocytemia in which the mean titers of C3, C4, and C3b were 145.4 +/- 22.6 mg/100 ml (72%), 60.5 +/- 0.2 mg/100 ml (149%), and 64.0 +/- 5.9 mg/liter (65%), respectively. These findings indicated marked C3b hypocomplementemia. Group 2 included 50 children who were used as controls and lacked malaria parasitemia. C3, C4, and C3b mean titers were 161.6 +/- 28.9 mg/100 ml (80%), 56.8 +/- 2.07 mg/100 ml (140%), and 84.8 +/- 11.4 mg/liter (86%), respectively. Group 3 included 49 children with other blood stages of P. falciparum parasitemia but no gametocytes. C3, C4, and C3b mean titers in this group were 103.0 mg/100 ml (51%), 18.3 +/- 1.2 mg/100 ml (45%), and 90.7 mg/liter (92%), respectively. Our findings suggest that C3b hypocomplementemia may be related to the advent of circulating P. falciparum gametocytes in children. We also confirmed C3 and C4 hypocomplementemia in acute human malaria. The implication of our findings in relation to neat in vitro culture of P. falciparum gametocytes or total inhibition of gametocytogenesis in malaria control is still speculative.

Health education specialization in Africa: roles in conflict. - Adeniyi, Joshua D.; Brieger, William R. (PubMed, 1981)
This paper presents an assessment of the professional preparation programme offered at the African Regional Health Education Centre (ARHEC), University of Ibadan, Nigeria, where training is provided at the diploma and post-graduate levels. Role conflicts between the two groups of professionals involved have been noted, both during and after training. Diplomates hold expectations that they will be considered in the same light as post-graduate specialists, and are therefore disappointed sometimes when they go back to their professional settings. Master level specialists also experience frustrations in cases where diplomates hold seniority over them. The most successful diploma holders seem to be those who incorporate health education into their basic professional practice, for example nurses using patient education skills. An analysis of the activities and performance of the diploma students during their training also revealed that they tend to view health education in terms of their basic profession and developed projects that integrated both disciplines. This experience has led ARCHEC staff to advocate profession-specific training at the diploma level, so that graduates will have a better vision of their role in the broader picture of health education.

Children from elementary schools in Edmonton and Freetown were divided into high and low on the basis of their scores on Coloured Progressive Matrices. In each culture, those with higher scores on Progressive Matrices were expected to do better on syllogistic reasoning than those with lower scores. Across cultures, no difference in performance was expected. In terms of the relation of syllogistic reasoning to simultaneous and successive processing, both processes were expected to be involved in the solution of syllogisms. The results confirmed these hypotheses. It was also indicated that the children from Freetown were better than Edmonton's in syllogisms, dispelling any doubts in regard to their competence in ‘verbal’ reasoning. Abstractfr La solution de syllogismes à 3 termes a été étudiée dans le'contexte de la culture et du QI. Des élèves d'écoles primaires d'Edmonton (Canada) et Freetown (Sierra Leone) ont été divisés en deux groupes, élevé et bas, sur base des résultats qu'ils avaient obtenus au test des “Coloured Progressive Matrices”. Dans chacune des cultures, on s'attendait à ce que les enfants ayant obtenu des résultats élevés au test des matrices soient meilleurs en raisonnement syllogistique que ceux qui avaient obtenu des résultats médiocres; mais on ne s'attendait pas à des différences entre culture. Quant à la relation entre le raisonnement syllogistique et le traitement simultané ou successif, on s'attendait à ce que l'un et l'autre mode de traitement soient utilisés pour résoudre les syllogismes. Les résultats ont confirmé les hypothèses. Ils montrent également que les enfants de Freetown étaient supérieurs à ceux d'Edmonton pour résoudre des syllogismes, dissipant ainsi tout doute quant à leur aptitude â raisonner “verbalement”.

A Guide to Teaching Agricultural Economics in Nonspecialist Courses in a Developing Economy: Experience of Teaching for Rural Change in Malawi - Green, D. A.G. (RePEc: Research Papers in Economics, 1981)
Bunda College of the University of Malawi provides all university level agricultural education in Malawi. Currently there are around 240 students, with a planned expansion to about 420. College entrants are largely from rural backgrounds. On qualifying, a wide range of occupations is open to students: after three years of training, diplomates find employment in both public and private sectors; after five years, graduates are employed predominantly in the public sector. There are 40 staff members distributed over a wide range of disciplines constituting the School of Agriculture, which is grouped into four departments: agricultural engineering, crop production, livestock production, and rural development. The latter is multidisciplinary, and during 1976-78 was headed by a professor of agricultural economics. Throughout 1975-78, considerable time was concentrated on restructuring the curricula for the general degree and diploma in agriculture. The present curricula and experience of their development provide bases for discussion and the identification of recurrent themes and guidelines. There is no claim to perfection; curriculum development is a dynamic process. Experience from the microcosm of a single university college can provide insights which pragmatic academic staff may appreciate more readily than generalizations from surveys.

A Guide to Teaching Agricultural Economics in Nonspecialist Courses in a Developing Economy: Experience of Teaching for Rural Change in Malawi - Green, D. A.G. (1981)
Bunda College of the University of Malawi provides all university level agricultural education in Malawi. Currently there are around 240 students, with a planned expansion to about 420. College entrants are largely from rural backgrounds. On qualifying, a wide range of occupations is open to students: after three years of training, diplomates find employment in both public and private sectors; after five years, graduates are employed predominantly in the public sector. There are 40 staff members distributed over a wide range of disciplines constituting the School of Agriculture, which is grouped into four departments: agricultural engineering, crop production, livestock production, and rural development. The latter is multidisciplinary, and during 1976-78 was headed by a professor of agricultural economics. Throughout 1975-78, considerable time was concentrated on restructuring the curricula for the general degree and diploma in agriculture. The present curricula and experience of their development provide bases for discussion and the identification of recurrent themes and guidelines. There is no claim to perfection; curriculum development is a dynamic process. Experience from the microcosm of a single university college can provide insights which pragmatic academic staff may appreciate more readily than generalizations from surveys.
