The effects of the Sahelian drought on the fishery of the central delta of the Niger River - Welcomme, R. L. (Aquaculture Research, 1986)
Abstract. Recent changes in rainfall patterns in West Africa have produced drought conditions which have affected the flood regime, of the Niger River. Analysis of a 20-year series of discharge data for the river and the records of landings of fish at Moption the central delta of the Niger show catch in any year to be highly correlated with flood intensities. Some management implications of the reduced catch following the drought years are discussed.

Pollution research in the Republic of South Africa - Aucamp, Pieter J. (South African Journal of Science and Technology, 1986)
Pollution is a complex and wide subject. It is endeavoured to categorize it in manageable subdivisions. Since very little information is available on the expenditure on research by the industry, the paper concentrates on the expenditure by the public sector. Research on water pollution is funded by the WRC, the CSIR and the Departments of Water Affairs and Health. The latter is the main source of funds for air-pollution research. The Department of the Environment funds several projects on the abatement of pollution, especially by solid wastes. Some universities conduct research on pollution abatement. With reference to some projections of future developments, the conclusion is reached that much more funds are needed to combat pollution.

THE RATIONALE FOR PLANNING VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR NIGERIAN YOUTHS - Muhammad, Umaru Tuni (Sokoto educational review, 1986)
There is enough evidence in Nigeria today that the numbers of unemployed youths are already considerable and appear to be increasing rapidly in all the corners of the Federation. The implication of this is that if nothing is done, the result would be catastrophic for the nation since it may lead to the creation of a new generation of armed robbers and at best “social rebels” and delinquents for Nigeria. The objective of this paper is not to provide a panacea to the afore-said problem; it is rather an attempt to examine the occupational training needs of Nigerian youths and some of the obstacles to vocational education programmes. Some planning and management issues that may have to be considered if such vocational needs are to be met are also analysed. The technicalities and other modalities involved in technical and vocational education do not fall within the realm of this paper and are therefore left for the experts to tackle.

THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN EFFECTIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES IN NIGERIA - Yusuf, Abdullahi (Sokoto educational review, 1986)
This paper outlines briefly, some views of the term “ Educational Technology” and its role generally in the field of education as evident from research findings. The urgent need for low-cost educational technology for schools and colleges in Nigeria is discussed. Attention is also drawn to the need to re-orient the teacher to his task, if new methods and media are to be used successfully. Finally, it is further suggested that future use of the achieved methods and media may differ radically depending among other things on the objectives to be achieved and the entry behaviour of the students, particularly when we employ the low-cost educational technology for effective learning hnd teaching. The importance of an Educational Resource Centre, and Teachers’ Resource Centre are among other things strongly suggested.

The need for health education in Zimbabwe findings from a household survey. - Fa, Chinemana (PubMed, 1986)
Between September 1981 and March 1983 a household survey was conducted in 5 rural and 2 urban areas of Zimbabwe to consider the attitudes towards health and illness held by the community perceptions of health problems and the extent of ideas about their prevention or resolution. 575 men and 1029 women were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. Supplementary information was obtained from community discussion meetings held in each area upon completion of the survey interviews. Analysis of the data collected from interviews with women in the first 2 rural areas surveyed indicated that although the means of communication for health education were open to them women felt trapped in a situation in which they were not always able to make use of such information. This was primarily because of lack of economic and decision making powers and sometimes very real difference in opinions about health care between family members. These problems arose primarily in regard to family planning and nutrition education. As the survey work progressed it became evident that health education for men was equally important yet there was little explicit recognition of this in most health training or educational programs and seemingly few ideas about nor great interest in the manner in which health education might be made accessible to men. Overall 49% of the 575 male respondents thought that health education for men was needed; 9% thought it was not and 42% did not know. Advice and information on the improvement of water and sanitation facilities accounted for the largest proportion of health education topics suggested. 4 specific illnesses were frequently mentioned: venereal disease malaria high blood pressure and tuberculosis. In only 1 area Matibi 1 Communal Area in south and eastern Zimbabwe was health education mentioned as a strongly perceived need in terms of necessary medical services. Respondents in rural districts were asked to give 3 of the most important reasons for which they would attend or consult a village health worker. 17% of rural men and 16% of rural women either did not know what a health worker was or what he or she was supposed to do. Community perceptions about illnesses deaths and their causes were not exceptionally different from clinically-based estimates. The survey results suggest that there are crucial factors which are currently being ignored in health education programs in Zimbabwe to their detriment.

Tinea capitis in School Children in Eastern Nigeria/Tinea capitis bei Schulkindern in Ost‐Nigeria - Gugnani, H. C.; Njoku-Obi, A. N. U. (Mycoses, 1986)
Summary: A survey of tinea capitis was carried out during the period 1974–1977 in 3, 478 primary school children aged 4–13 years and comprising 1, 868 males and 1610 females in Anambra State in Eastern Nigeria. A total of 303 (8.7%) mycologicaliy proven cases of tinea capitis were detected. Incidence was significantly higher in young children (10.5%) aged 4–8 years than in older children (6.0%) aged 9–13 years. Males (9.0%) were more commonly affected than the females (73%). Microsporum audouinii was the commonest etiological agent (483%) followed next by Trichophyton soudanense (26.6%) and T. tonsurans (15.2%). Other dermatophytes occasionally represented were M. ferrugineum (3.4%), T. violaceum (3.7%), T. yaoundei (1.2%), T. mentagrophytes (0.9%) and T. schoenleinii (0.6%). Investigation of scalp carriage of dermatophytes showed that approximately 9% of children without any clinical signs of tinea capitis harbour dermatophytes in their scalp hair. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to relative distribution of different species of dermatophytes in Nigeria and other countries in Africa. A detailed study of the morphological characters of the isolates showed considerable variation in microscopical features of M. audouinii and T. soudanense. Zusammenfassung: In den Jahren 1974 bis 1977 wurden im Staat Anambra in Ost‐Nigeria 3478 Schulkinder im Alter von 4 bis 13 Jahren, darunter 1868 männliche und 1610 weibliche Kinder, untersucht Insgesamt wurden 303 (8,7%) einer nachgewiesenen Tinea capitis entdeckt. Bei jungen Kindern im Alter von 4–8 Jahren war die Inzidenz mit 10,5% höher als bei älteren Kindern im Alter von 9–13 Jahren mit 6%. Männliche Kinder waren mit 9,0% häufiger betroffen als weibliche Kinder (73%). Der häufigste Erreger war Microsporum audouinii (483%). Es folgten Trichophyton soudanense (26,6%) und T. tonsurans (15,2%). Andere Dermatophyten traten nur gelegentlich auf: M. ferrugineum (3,4%), T. violaceum (3,7%), T. yaoundei (1,2%), T. mentagrophytes (0,9%) und T. schoenleinii (0,6%). Die Untersuchung der Kopfhaut von klinisch erscheinungsfreien Kindern zeigte, daß bei etwa 9% dieser Kinder Dermatophyten von der Kopfhaut isoliert werden konnten. Die Bedeutung dieser Ergebnisse wird auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der unterschiedlichen Verteilung der verschiedenen Dermatophyten in Nigeria und in anderen afrikanischen Ländern diskutiert. Eine eingehende Untersuchung der morphologischen Charakteristika der isolierten Pilze zeigte beträchtliche Variationen in der Mikromorphologie von M. audouinii and T. soudanense.

A programme for more effective ante-natal health education in a small rural clinic in Ghana - Hill, Elaine (Midwifery, 1986)
to explore the learning needs of multigravid Ghanaian women in an effort to develop more effective prenatal education programmes.a descriptive–exploratory design consisting of in-depth individual semi-structured interviews and a single focus group.prenatal clinic of a large hospital in a city in Ghana, Africa.18 multigravid Ghanaian women between 38 and 40 weeks of gestation who were not experiencing complications with the index pregnancy.the women reported particular learning needs that were not being addressed during their prenatal care. They identified areas where they wanted more information about specific topics such as birth control, sexual activity during pregnancy and promoting ideal fetal positions. They also wanted information about how to care for themselves and their babies after birth. They received information from staff at the prenatal clinic that sometimes conflicted with what they learned from those in their informal support system (e.g. mothers and friends).inconsistency with respect to information received from health professionals and that received from other sources of support created tension that led to increased doubt and anxiety on the part of the women. They reported that they wanted more in-depth information that was relevant to their specific needs and solution centred. They wanted a more interactive educational process including some separate teaching sessions specifically for multigravid women. They also wanted access to information during both private and group encounters with health-care professionals.information and strategies deemed to be of interest and importance to these multigravid women, such as private counselling sessions to address individual concerns about safe sexual health and birth control, and interactive groups for multigravid women, could be implemented to increase interest and promote the well-being of these women.

A West African Folktale in the Classroom - Kwami, Robert (British Journal of Music Education, 1986)
The author describes an investigation into the use of West African folklore in the school curriculum by means of an African folktale which became the basis for a project in the class music lessons. Starting with research into West African folklore, particularly children's stories and songs, in Ghana and Nigeria between 1979 and 1983, music was composed in a basically African style to go with an adaptation of one of the stories. The practical work in a London primary school investigated ways of minimising the apparent dichotomy between African and Western musics in the curriculum.

[Demography and teaching in Togo]. - Mt, Duquette-ahado (PubMed, 1986)
In 1973, the Benin University introduced demography training in its geography and economic courses, but it is only since the creation, in 1975, of the Demographic Research Unit, in the bosom of the school of economic technics and management, that demography training has been extended to other fields: social sciences, urbanization medicine, and science. At a university level, it is through courses that basic demography training is given, with specific applications for each field. At the primary and secondary level, the training is given to teachers through the organization of seminars. The 1982 seminar was aimed at geography teachers of 2nd and 3rd degree. The 1983 seminar reached a wider range of teachers in Togo, and saw the realization of a document designed to help teachers communicate demographic concepts in their courses. The 1984 seminar, organized for teachers of the 1st and 2nd degree, saw the preparation of pedagogical cards. These cards, prepared by primary and secondary school inspectors, assisted by Demographic Research Unit, the FNUAP, and the National Board of Education, integrated the basic concepts of demography into the current geographic study course, emphasizing practical applications. If the experience is conclusive (an evaluation of impact is planned after 1 year of utilization), it could be expanded to other fields to study, and other West African countries.

Parity and perinatal mortality amongst diabetics in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital. - Oli, Johnnie; Nj, Osefo; Ic, Okeke (PubMed, 1986)
The parity and the perinatal mortality of 226 married Nigerian female diabetics, aged 20 to 76 years (mean 47.1 years), and 226 married female nondiabetics matched for age and educational level with the diabetics were studied. There was no statistically significant difference between the diabetics and nondiabetics in terms of primary infertility, irrespective of age of onset of diabetes. In the group with one to four deliveries, the nondiabetics significantly outnumbered the diabetics (P less than 0.001) irrespective of age of onset of diabetes. In the group with seven to nine deliveries, only the diabetics of child-bearing age (P less than 0.01); and in the group with 10 or more deliveries, diabetics significantly outnumbered the nondiabetics irrespective of age of onset of diabetes (P less than 0.01). There was a statistically significant difference between the diabetics and nondiabetics in terms of the overall perinatal mortality (P less than 0.001). However, this difference was not significant in diabetics of childbearing age. In Nigeria, where large families are common and children often born in rapid succession, high parity appears not only to increase the chances of a woman developing diabetes in late life but also in early life. Effective birth control practice may thus help in reducing the incidence of diabetes amongst Nigerian women. Additionally, a programme extending to the rural areas aimed at early detection of diabetes and proper management of the pregnant diabetic by a team of medical personnel with special interest in diabetes will help in reducing the perinatal mortality in Nigerian diabetics.

The IFORD trained 9 Togolese demographers, organized a seminar on population policies in Africa (Lome, March 1979) with the Regional Institute for Population Study and the Population Division of the United Nations, and completed a survey on infant and juvenile mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The latter study included 2 phases: 1) in a 12 months time, a sample of newborns was selected. 2) each newborn was observed until the age of 2 (7 visits). The study was completed in 2 ways. 1) In urban areas, 5 cities were chosen (Yaounde, Ouagadougou, Lome, Cotonou, and Brazzaville), where the EMIJ tracking method was used (follow-up operation, and retrospective operation). 2) In rural areas, where retrospective operation is impossible, and adapted tracking method was designed and experimented with in 3 pilot projets in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Togo (duration 6 months, 4 visits). The tracking operation in Togo covered 7 villages (total population 22,448) with a permanent observation post in each village, and visits by only 1 controller. 45 books on Togolese demography are available at the IFORD's Library. The Documentation Center is going to be extended and join the PopIn-Africa network.

Karisimbi. A recent Volcano of the Virunga Area (Rwanda, Zaïre) - Mulder, M. De (AVRUG-bulletin, 1986)
This paper deals with the geological structure and the petrologie evolution of Karisimbi, the highest volcano in the Virunga region. As this paper is intended to be understood by non-geologists, a brief review about the methods used by volcanologists, should make things clear for the reader. The field-work data enabled us to describe the morphology, structure and the evolution of Karisimbi. The results of the laboratory studies are summarized in the section petrography-petrochemistry, where some problems concerning nomenclature and interpretation of chemical data are discussed as well. Petrographical and petrochemical information leads us to the origin and the evolution of magmas, which is the ultimate purpose of every petrologist. In the case of Karisimbi, it is suggested that its petrologie evolution took place by simultaneous fractional crystallization and contamination by crustal rocks. Finally, the ages of some typical Karisimbi lavas have been determined by a radiometric dating method (K-Ar), bearing in mind that large errors on these ages are inevitable.

Impaired α‐carboxyamidation of gastrin in vitamin C‐deficient guinea pigs - Hilsted, Linda; Rehfeld, Jens F.; Schwartz, Thue W. (FEBS Letters, 1986)
The biosynthetic activation of many hormonal peptides requires enzymatic alpha-carboxyamidation via glycine-extended intermediate forms. By specific radioimmunochemical measurement on extracts of guinea pig antra, we found that vitamin C deficiency induced a 30-fold increase in glycine-extended (i.e. inactive) gastrins. The results indicate that ascorbic acid is necessary for alpha-carboxyamidation in vivo, and thus, that the biosynthetic activation of hormonal peptides can be modified by simple dietary means.

An investigation of the prevalence of intestinal parasites in pre-school children in Ghana - Annan, Akweley; Crompton, D. W. T.; Walters, D. E.; Arnold, Susan (Parasitology (London. Print), 1986)
SUMMARY Evidence for the presence of 11 intestinal parasites in pre-school children from 4 rural villages in Ghana was obtained from an examination of stool samples. Striking differences were detected between the prevalence of some of the 6 common infections in the 4 villages. The prevalance of Ascaris lumbricoides varied from about 76% in one village (Oshiyie, coastal savanna) to apparently 0% in another (Akuma, forest zone). No differences in prevalence for any infection were observed to be sex dependent. Investigation of the relationship between age of the children and prevalance showed that the degree of prevalence of both A. lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura had essentially levelled off by the time the children were 4 years old. There was no evidence to suggest that the prevalence of either Entamoeba sp. or spp. or hookworm was approaching a maximum value, even in the oldest children. These trends applied across the villages regardless of the differences in prevalence values for the infections. On average, the children of Oshiyie were found to harbour twice as many infections as the children of the other villages. The investigation of the prevalence data revealed evidence of associations between pairs of infections, particularly those involving hookworm and T. trichiura .

Targeting school children for tropical diseases control: preliminary findings from a socio-behaviour research in Nigeria. - He, Ekeh; Jd, Adeniyi (PubMed, 1986)
This paper reports one study carried out among school children in Nigeria to investigate some of the social and behaviour factors contributing to the transmission of malaria, guineaworm, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis. Data were gathered from 1310 secondary school children in a rural community. Analysis of data revealed that 70% of students wash and fetch water in the streams and ponds for domestic purposes. More than 70% claimed that their drinking water was pipe borne even though we knew that the taps had been dry for months. Only 29% specified streams, wells, ponds and water holes as sources of water supply. More than 30% claimed to treat their water before drinking in their homes. There is evidence from home visits in the community that a large proportion of the population do very little to improve the quality of drinking water before consumption. With the exception of malaria, the student's knowledge on the causes and prevention of schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis and guineaworm is virtually nil. All of these had implications for an educational intervention plan which was the next phase of the project.

270 women underwent laparoscopic tubal sterilizations with Yoon silicone rings at the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of the Dakar teaching hospital in Senegal between 1979-84. Written consent of the husband was required for all married women. 235 women underwent sterilization because of grand multiparity and 34 for medical reasons. The medical indications included 1 case of cardiopathy, 12 of severe psychosis, and 3 of serious vasculorenal syndrome. 70 operations were done under local and 200 under general anesthesia. 1 patient was 20 years old and the rest were 33-44. The average age was 32 and the average parity was 8. Observations during the laparoscopies included 40 cases of pelvic adhesions, 10 of uterine retroversion, 30 of congestive tubes, and 13 of ovarian cysts. Placement of the rings was usually accomplished easily 2-3 cm from the cornu. In 6 cases, rings were lost in the peritoneal cavity and in 14 cases a tube was ruptured. In 1 case the extent of a patient's obesity was underestimated and an IUD was inserted instead of a ring. 1 case of allergy to pethidine and 1 case of subcutaneous emphysema were observed. 174 follow-up hysterosalpingographies were done. 1 pregnancy occurred 4 months after the sterilization operation. Postpartum hysterosalpingography revealed a broken ring. The period of hospitalization varied from 48-72 hours and averaged 60 hours.

Nutritional status of mauritanian children during a drought emergency - Warrack‐Goldman, Heather; Brown, Betsy; Binkin, Nancy (Ecology of Food and Nutrition, 1986)
Nutritional surveys were conducted in three regions of Mauritania between September and November, 1983, to assess the impact of a severe drought and to determine priorities for relief assistance. Survey sites and children were chosen at random using established Centers for Disease Control survey methodology. A total of 1,498 children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years were weighed, measured and examined for xerophthalmia and scurvy. Information on age, sex, diarrhea, measles immunization, diet and food aid was collected for each child. Levels of acute malnutrition (< 80 % of median weight‐for‐height) ranged from 8.2 to 17.2% in the 3 regions, and both xerophthalmia and scurvy were seen. The children between 1 to 3 years of age had the highest levels of malnutrition. Food aid deliveries were irregular and inadequate in the two regions with the highest rates of malnutrition. Implications for targeting and choice of relief efforts are discussed.

An analysis of blood culture isolates from 7 South African teaching hospital centres. - J, van den Ende; Ml, Rotter (PubMed, 1986)
The data on blood culture isolates for 1983 and January - July 1984 reported by the Antibiotic Study Group of South Africa have been analysed to determine national and regional prevalences of different micro-organisms and resistance to certain antibiotics. Although there are significant differences in isolation frequencies between the various centres, overall the five most frequent isolates are Staphylococcus aureus (1983 - 15%; 1984 - 14%), Escherichia coli (13%), Klebsiella spp. (11%; 10%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (9%), and Salmonella typhi (7%; 13%). Staph. aureus ranks first in most centres for 1983 but is displaced in some in 1984 by enteric Gram-negative bacilli. In Durban S. typhi is the most common isolate for the entire period. Methicillin resistance among Staph. aureus is common (approximately 30% overall), especially in the Transvaal. Gentamicin resistance among certain Gram-negative bacilli is a problem in many centres and is especially disturbing in the case of Klebsiella spp., of which over 30% of total isolates are resistant. Ampicillin resistance for Haemophilus influenzae varies from nil to over 30% in different centres, and penicillin-resistant pneumococci are still encountered (nil to over 10%).

Socio-demographic characteristics and opinions of basic and post-basic nursing students in Nigeria - Adejunmobi, Adegbola (International Journal of Nursing Studies, 1986)
In attempting to describe the socio-demographic characteristics and opinions of Nigerian nurses, a random selection of 293 students was made in three schools offering basic and post-basic programmes. Most of the students were from the lower socio-economic background; they entered nursing to 'help' people, and were enthusiastic about their training and exposure to new experiences. For most basic students, first job expectation was bedside nursing after graduation; it was administrative and/or teaching duties for those in the post-basic programme. The students showed similarities with their counterparts elsewhere.

Factors Affecting Students’ Choice of Science Subjects in Nigerian Secondary Schools - Akpan, Efiong U. U. (Research in Science & Technological Education, 1986)
Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate factors influencing the choice of science subjects in Nigerian secondary schools. 1240 students aged between 12 and 18 years from 31 secondary schools in Benue and Cross River States of Nigeria were given scales on intelligence, attitudes to science, personality and ‘subject choice and rated ability’, to determine the effect of age, sex, attitudes to science, IQ and personality on science choice. Results from t‐test analysis, correlation and multiple regression analyses showed that attitudes to science was the most important factor in science choice, followed by IQ. Sex and personality were important to a lesser degree. The place of age in science choice needs further investigation.

Political education in Egypt with reference to England and the Soviet Union - Aly, Mohamed; Ahmed, Kawser (1986)
The significance of political education is recognized by most countries in accomplishing the desired values in the society, but differs in form according to their ideologies. This research, is an attempt to study the different approaches to the teaching of political-education in Egypt, in comparison with England and the Soviet Union. The research report is divided into ten chapters. Chapters two and three are devoted to a study of the theoretical framework of political education, and political socialization. The development of political life and ideology in Egypt, is covered in chapters four and five. Chapter six deals with the different approaches to political education, in the light of official statements of the state. Chapters seven and eight focus on the study of the teaching of political education in the school curriculum, and the approaches to political education. Chapter nine is concerned with the work of political parties in political education. Chapters one and ten cover the introduction, conclusion, and recommendations. In this research, political education is mainly seen as the political learning which develops the ability of young people to participate in political life, and to influence the system and its values. However, attempts at political learning which aim to support the system and its values, are regarded as political socialization. It has been noted that whilst Egypt encourages a more open approach to political education than before, the approach to political socialization still exists. Improvements in political education in England are greater than in Egypt. Nevertheless, approaches to political socialization have always been emphasized in the Soviet Union. Some recommendations are suggested to improve political education in Egypt. They are mainly based on developing the political awareness of the young people, and their ability to participate in democratic life and to influence the system.

Intestinal parasitic infections in pre-school children in the Niger Delta. - Arene, F. O. I.; Akabogu, O. A. (PubMed, 1986)
Stool specimens from 1,062 pre-school children in the Niger Delta were examined for the presence of intestinal parasites. Of that number, 77.6% harboured one or more than one species of intestinal parasites. Ascaris lumbricoides (51.9%) and Trichuris trichiura (41.7%) were the most prevalent species recorded. Other parasites harboured by these children included Hymenolepis sp. (18.3%), Giardia lamblia (9.2%), Entamoeba histolytica (4.6%), Strongyloides stercoralis (1.4%). Hookworm, Taenia sp., Isospora sp. and Trichostrongylus sp. occurred in less than 1% of the children examined. These high rates of infection are associated with poor sanitary conditions prevalent in the area. Improvement of environmental sanitation is advised to reduce human sufferings caused by parasites in that area particularly among children.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN TEACHER EDUCATION CURRICULA IN NIGERIA - Arubayi, Eric (The Journal of General Education, 1986)
The effectiveness of teacher education programs has recently been questioned in the U.S., with a number of evaluation committees or individual critics arguing, for example, that the prevailing undergraduate degrees in education should be re placed by five-year combined liberal arts and education de grees; or that the professional training of teachers needs to be improved; or that their general education is deficient.1 A sense of concern about the education of teachers is certainly appropriate. The results of such proposals, however, will prob ably not be clear for several years, partly because it is rarely possible to gather adequate advance data on whether one solution would be better than another. It is likely that some leaders will prefer one form of strengthening teacher educa tion, other leaders another, and that some state governments in the U.S. will mandate specific reforms, while others will not choose to do so. The diversity of the educational system in the U.S., along with the paucity of firm data that would prove the effectiveness of any particular proposal, will proba bly mean that the present controversy will continue for some time and that improvements, if they occur, will be due to a variety of changes and factors which, in retrospect, we may not find it easy to sort out. The educational system in Nigeria is much smaller, and, in its present form, much younger. It is also more unified and consistent, especially since the development of the National Policy for Education (1977).2 In Nigeria too, there are con cerns about the quality of teacher education, particularly in scientific fields, since, in an effort to increase the country's

Traditional African Stories as Learning Materials - Atkinson, Norman (Zambezia, 1986)
Oral story-telling, conducted through many generations of Southern African peoples during the period before the onset of Western colonial influence, provided one of the most significant developments in traditional African education and continues to offer extensive opportunities for research and development in the present day. In the first place, the stories contain invaluable data concerning the values and attitudes of the holistic philosophy through which Southern African communities endeavoured to maintain their way of life as pasture-farmers, during the years after they had crossed the Zambezi river from the interior of the continent. Holism represented an attempt to come to terms with the basic needs and aspirations of African pastoral life. It emphasized the essential unity and interdependence of all powers and objects in the universe, under an almighty Creator (Nkulunkulu, Modimo, Mwari, Musikavanhu, etc.); the common humanity of all mankind; and the sharing in certain carefully-defined rights and obligations by all the members of each social group, living or dead. These ideas were implanted in the minds of each successive generation, as a means of maintaining continuity with past experience and avoiding precipitate changes in the future.

Impaired humoral immune response in complement C3-deficient guinea pigs: absence of secondary antibody response - Böttger, Erik C.; Metzger, Susanne; Bitter‐Suermann, D.; Stevenson, G T; Kleindienst, Sabine; Bürger, Reinhard (European Journal of Immunology, 1986)
Abstract A recently described egenetically controlled C3 deficiency (C3D) in guinea pigs (GP) provided a unique model for studying the role of C3 in the afferent limb of the humoral immune response in a direct manner. These C3D animals, which have only 5–7% of normal serum C3 level, were immunized with the bacteriophage ϕX174, a T cell‐dependent antigen, followed by a booster injection after 4 weeks (1.5 × 10 9 plaque‐forming units/kg). The formation of IgM and IgG antibody in the course of the primary and secondary response was determined and compared with a control group of inbred strain 2 GP. The C3D animals showed a markedly diminished antibody response to this antigen. Amplification of the antibody titer as well as regular isotype switching from IgM to IgG was absent in the secondary response. Increasing the amount of antigen to a high dose (1 × 10 10 plaque‐forming units/kg) led to a normalization of the antibody response. The impairment in antibody formation resembles closely the impaired antibody response in C4‐deficient or C2‐deficient GP, which both have a block in activation of C3 via the classical pathway.

They have normal levels of total serum IgM, of IgM anti‐ 2,4‐dinitrophenyl antibodies and of IgM rheumatoid factors.

Blindness and visual impairment in southern Malawi. - Chirambo, Moses; Tielsch, James M.; West, Keith P.; Katz, Joanne; Tizazu, Tefera; Schwab, Larry; Johnson, George; Swartwood, Jack; Taylor, Hugh R.; Sommer, Alfred (PubMed, 1986)
There is a paucity of reliable information on the prevalence and causes of blindness in sub-Saharan Africa, and this produces problems in designing and evaluating blindness prevention programmes. To address this problem and to provide baseline data for the evaluation of such programmes, the government of Malawi, in conjunction with a number of agencies, conducted a population-based prevalence survey of ocular disease in the Lower Shire River Valley in southern Malawi, an area where blindness is common. The prevalence of bilateral blindness found (1.27%) is similar to that in other developing countries and represents a significant public health problem. At least 60% of this blindness is preventable or easily reversible.

Abstract The paper examines strategies used to attempt to solve problems of secondary teacher shortage in Zimbabwe following independence and the expansion of secondary education provision. It relates these strategies to those of other developing countries. The term ‘teacher shortage’ is examined in relation to Zimbabwean provision of training courses. A survey of student teacher opinions on the desired elements in training programmes and actual provision is reported. Problems encountered in Zimbabwe in addressing the problems of teacher shortage and some proposed ways of tackling them are outlined.

Policy and practice in Tanzanian secondary education since 1967 - Cooksey, Brian (International Journal of Educational Development, 1986)
The Education for Self-Reliance policy inspired by Nyerere's socialist project is evaluated in terms of achieving its stated goals of combatting elitism and class formation, favouring rural development and equitable regional resource allocation, and putting national manpower needs before social demand for education. Policy initiatives furthering these objectives are examined, including sectoral resource allocation, selection procedures, curriculum innovations, the vocationalisation of secondary schooling and attempts at manpower planning. The author concludes that, not only are the stated objectives of the policy not being achieved, but also the quality of secondary schooling and the cognitive levels of students have fallen disastrously. Current policy changes heralding the end of ESR are to be welcomed.

General features of the aerosol observed in the Guinean savannah at the level of the ITCZ influence of the drought - Désalmand, Françoise; Serpolay, R.; Podzimek, Josef (Journal of Aerosol Science, 1986)
The stagnation and mixing of various air masses at the level of the ITCZ in the dry season, together with the absence of rain, favor, in the Guinean savannah, the formation of a well-aged and homogeneous aerosol made up of very active mixed nuclei. When the drought increases, the aerosol always remains an aged one, i.e. absence of particles with radius r < 0.02 μm, no nucleation mode. However, different properties show a younger and less homogeneous aerosol, i.e. very high counts in all the categories of particles (the concentration of nuclei activated at the supersaturation S ⋍ 0.32% reaches 9960 cm−3), poor correlations between the concentrations of various groups of particles and no fog. When the fires are frequent and spread all over the savannah, a permanent addition of new particles to the local background aerosol (due to a complicated circulation) prevents the ageing of the aerosol that is observed during the usual drought with a moderate extension of bushfires.

The Predictability of Summer Drought Conditions in South African Grassland - Dyer, James A.; Jager, J. M. de (Water International, 1986)
ABSTRACT The feasibility of predicting total summer crop water use by grassland, based on early or pre-season soil moisture reserves, was investigated. Tests were based on the correlation over time between simulated soil moisture and related variables at six South African climate stations. A weather driven computer budget model was used to simulate daily soil moisture reserves. Results indicate that early prediction of seasonal crop water use is not feasible, but that deep soil moisture is stable enough over time to be a reliable monitoring variable for crop growing conditions. Moisture stored in the deep soil has good potential for monitoring more severe drought conditions.

Foreign training and foreign assistance for university development in Kenya: Too much of a good thing? - Eisemon, Thomas Owen (International Journal of Educational Development, 1986)
This paper examines the role of foreign educational assistance in the development of the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Attention is drawn to the implantation of forms of self governance and of a research culture characteristic of Western universities that made fulfilment of the University's national mission to satisfy high level manpower requirements difficult, and led to conflict between the University and the government. Kenya is establishing a second university and is planning further expansion of its system of higher education despite the discouragement it has received from foreign donors. It is suggested that expansion may create a serious drain on already limited instructional and financial resources and worsen the employment prospects of graduates, but it may also produce instructional structures and programs that are more responsive to the country's manpower needs and political circumstances.

An analysis of the private rate of return to vocational nursing education in Nigeria - Enaohwo, J. Okpako; Osakwe, H.O. (Economics of Education Review, 1986)
The economic rationale for training to become a nurse is examined in this paper through the analysis of the private rate of return to nursing education. Essentially the hypothesis, which guided the course of investigation and the computation of internal rate of return, explored the variation among schools in terms of costs through the differences between mean expenditures. Data analysis and findings reveal a private rate of return of 146% and this high, positive rate is ascribed to the negligible impact of opportunity cost and its booster effects on expected income.

Traditional African music in black education - Erlmann, Veit (Africa insight, 1986)
A meaningful discussion of the present-day role of traditional music in black education in South Africa is incomplete without addressing fundamental questions such as: Whose culture is it that should be preserved? Who is it that would like to preserve traditional music and what are his/her interests? Who defines what is traditional culture and what is not? I would like to take up these questions and discuss some of the answers that have been given to them in the past 200 years. I have chosen the role of traditional music in black education as an example, because like no other cultural sphere, education confronts and exposes the views and interests of conflicting social forces like the state and African nationalist movements.

Genesis of Major Dust Storms in West Africa during the Summer of 1974 - Estoque, Mariano A.; Fernández-Partagás, Jose J.; Helgren, David M.; Prospero, Joseph M. (1986)
Abstract : The occurrence of major dust clouds over the western Sahara is associated with several characteristic features of the large scale synoptic conditions, including the isallobaric pattern as well as the flow patterns at the 850-700 mb layer and the surface. A necessary ingredient for the occurrence of dust appears to be the existence of a well developed and intense surface cyclone along the ITF south of the dust source region. These three features are incorporated in three synoptic models for dust generation. The models are: the general model (GM), the model without a trough (NTM) and the model with a trough (TM). Conditions resembling those in the TM appear to be the ones most frequently observed during dust episodes in GATE.

Two methods of teaching reading in Nigerian primary classes - Gbenedio, Uche B. (ELT Journal, 1986)
Complaints about the inability of pupils in Nigerian primary classes to read in English have assumed such alarming proportions in the past five years that one cannot but wonder what has gone wrong. Are primary school children losing interest in reading in the language, or are the teachers not doing the right things when it comes to teaching reading in English? A general survey was embarked upon, which involved visits to several primary schools during which reading lessons were observed. Readingwhile- listening was found to be the most common approach to teaching reading. However, a few teachers were seen using a combination of the alphabetic, phonic, word and sentence methods of teaching reading. It was discovered that the pupils who learnt to read through the latter method performed better than the pupils who learnt to read using the former approach. The results are discussed and conclusions reached.

The Gayaza Farm-Diet Scheme: an Education Programme in Uganda - Goode, Pamela M. (Nutrition and Health, 1986)
This paper describes a scheme in which the production of food and the provision of a well-balanced diet became an integral part of the educational programme at a Senior Secondary Girl's Boarding School in Uganda. An account is given of the development of the school farm including crop and livestock enterprises. The part played by the girls in the day-to-day running of the various units of the farm is explained. The way in which the school diet was improved and nutrition education was given greater emphasis in the school curriculum, is described. The strength of the Farm-Diet Scheme was the integration of good farming practice and sound nutrition education with the formal pattern of secondary education. The follow-up project describes the way in which a preliminary assessment of the value of the scheme, was made. Women are predominantly the food crop farmers in Uganda and are largely responsible for the health and well-being of the family. A scheme of this nature has far reaching effects upon the community through girls who during their formal secondary education had their horizons widened regarding the importance of agriculture and nutrition in relation to good health.

The administration of a rural development project: Part 1—A case study from higher education in Malawi - Green, D.A.G. (Agricultural Administration, 1986)
Rural development projects embrace a broad spectrum of professional disciplines which must be administered to facilitate convergence on relevant problems and issues. Out of a pragmatic philosophy to contribute toward teaching necessary knowledge and skills, the Rural Development Department, along with the three other departments of Bunda College, University of Malawi, were established to meet the needs of trained personnel for rural economic development, currently manifested in the National Rural Development Programme, in which most students find employment on qualifying from Bunda College. Experience of administering the Rural Development Department (1975–1978) and subsequent associations have provided case study material for Part 1. Naturally occurring professional divergences lead to the identification of extra-departmental linkages for maintaining the Department's pragmatic and integrative functions and supporting professional interests. As a pragmatic department, the ethos of rural development is reflected in its functions and their administration. The insights thus provided may be of guidance, generally to the administration of rural development projects.

Between science and common science. Nonformal education for village health workers in Kenya. - Kaseje, Margaret (PubMed, 1986)
To help the 50,000 people living in Saradidi improve their community, the Anglican Church of the Province of Kenya of originally organized a health project in 1979 as the cornerstone of an extensive rural development effort to reach people through parish and congregational committees. The Saradidi Health Program intended to reduce the high rates of infant and child mortality and morbidity by directly involving the community in the provision of its own health care and the improvement of its quality of life. Each village elected its own health and development commitee and later selected volunteers to work in the community. Training was given to those selected to organize teir communities for the health program–the Nyamrerwa or Village Health Helpers (VHHS). Their task was not simply to provide information about appropriate health practices, but the much more difficult 1 of spanning the 2 worlds of medical science and traditional beliefs and practices. Over the course of several years, the experience at Saradidi proved that these 2 worlds need not be in competition. They could be complementary provided that the VHHS were capable of integrating their newly-acquired knowledge with the common sense of centuries-old practice. An evaluation of the program has shown that the VHHS have now begun to accoomplish their task of influencing the practices and changing the attitudes of the people in Saradidi. The nonformal approach is effective because it involves the whole community in the process of promoting good health. The VHHS act as a catalyst, bringing together useful information and practices from the outside and making them part of the community's own information and practices.

Learning to be Marginal: Schooling in Interwar French West Africa - Kelly, Gail P. (Journal of Asian and African Studies, 1986)
This essay focuses on the ways in which schools in interwar French West Africa contributed to separating African students from their societies. It analyzes school texts and shows how they prepared students to accept an identity as "blacks" distinct from their uneducated peers who stood outside the boundaries of French society. Students were uncomfortable with these views. They were aware of the differences between themselves and unschooled Africans as well as the French. They envisioned their future on the margins of both societies, living as Europeans by day and Africans by night.

INTRAH trip report: Benue State Nigeria June 16-25 1986 to conduct training needs assessment in Benue State Nigeria. - Knauff, L; Brown, Megan (1986)
The major purpose of the visit to Makurdi Benue State Nigeria was to conduct a training needs assessment in collaboration with officials of the State Ministry of Health (MOH) and Health Services Management Board (HSMB). The major findings of the visit included: 1) there is strong support for family planning (FP) on the part of senior officials in Benue State and recognition that FP training projects are both timely and welcome; 2) mechanisms exist for the coordination planning and implementation of a FP training project through a FP Advisory Board and a FP Implementation Committee; 3) there is a network of HSMB and LGA FP Service points spread throughout Benue State. Only 9 are equipped to provide IUD insertion services (3 are located in Makurdi City); 4) there is a small core group of clinically trained management and/or service providers functioning well and placed in appropriate positions; 5) there is a lack of FP protocols procedures standards standing orders and clinical training manuals; 6) there is low public awareness of the need and benefits for FP; 7) there are low numbers of FP and IUD acceptors. Major accomplishments include: 1) assessment of the FP organizational and management capability; 2) assessment of selected FP service points; and 3) identification of a detailed tentative FP training plan developed in close collaboration with MOH/HSMB officials. Major recommendations include a project development visit to Benue State by early 1986 to prepare a training project based on the tentative training plan developed during the needs assessment visit. It is highly recommended that other donor agency representatives accompany an INTRAH team to encourage diversified financial assistance to support the activities of the plan. (Authors modified).

Science in Nigerian higher education during the first twenty-five years of independence - Kolinsky, Martin (International Journal of Educational Development, 1986)
The rapid expansion in the number of universities in Nigeria greatly increased student enrolments. But the consolidation of the older universities was hampered by the loss of financial and teaching resources to the new institutions. Postgraduate training was expanded to meet long-term staffing requirements, rather than to strengthen research capacities. Investment in research for development was neglected by the federal government. Consequently the research institutes suffered from poor facilities and high rates of senior staff turnover. There is awareness of the need to coordinate scientific activities between the universities and government research institutes, but policy has not been implemented. At present, therefore, Nigeria's growing body of scientifically-trained manpower is poorly utilised.

Training South African Blacks. - Lear, Elizabeth T. (Africa insight, 1986)
The white South African has come a long way since the 1930s when over half of the white population, mostly Afrikaners, were officially classified as poor white. By the 1970s, the whites' per capita income ranked among the six leading nations in the world. Of the white male population, nearly 30 per cent had twelve years of education, and 7 per cent had university degrees. However, according to the Human Sciences Research Council's Institute of Social and Demographic Research, South Africa's white population is shrinking dramatically as a proportion of the total population and is on the way to zero growth. Between 1979 and 1981, the white population increased by 118 000 to 4 063 000 (inclusive of 50 000 immigrants) while blacks increased by 703 000 to 17 479 000 (of which an estimated 10 million reside outside the homelands) coloureds increased by 99 000 to 2 671 000 and Indians by 32000 to 838 000.

Learning set formation in a group of Guinea baboons (Papio papio): Importance of the behavioral variable measured - Lepoivre, Hugues; Pallaud, Berthille (American Journal of Primatology, 1986)
Abstract A recent report of one‐trial learning in a group of saddle‐back tamarins ( Saguinus fuscicollis ) conflicted with views of learning set formation based on traditional techniques employing isolated subjects. An experiment is reported in which a group of Guinea baboons ( Papio papio ) was given a series of discrimination and habit reversal tasks. Both one‐trial learning and learning set formation occurred. Analysis of spatial behavior revealed that the group learned in a single trial to discriminate stocked from unstocked zones. Improvement in successes (reinforced “digging”) was progressive but not rapid, indicating learning set formation. It appears that outcomes depend on the behavioral variables chosen.

The training of planners and project implementation in Zimbabwe - Mhlanga, Liberty (Landscape and Urban Planning, 1986)
The training of most planners in developing countries, and particularly in Africa, has been doomed by developed countries whose perceptions of developing countries have not taken into account the environmental realities of these countries. Most developed countries which have had colonies have regarded these former colonies as inferior, therefore standing to benefit by adopting the lifestyle and development patterns of the former colonizer. Graduates from former colonies have also, in most cases, believed that their native development structures are inferior to those of developed countries. Such perceptions are responsible for retarded development in most developing countries. These perceptions in the training of planners are changing, and some institutions have started following more realistic planning models.

Expanding education through user charges: What can be achieved in Malawi and other LDCs? - Mingat, Alain; Tan, Jee‐Peng (Economics of Education Review, 1986)
Two features mark the education sector in many LDCs today: first, education is publicly provided; and second, governments are faced with severe financial constraints. As a result, enrollments are confined to low levels, and there is excess demand. To mitigate these adverse outcomes, we consider user charges as a means to mobilize additional resources for education. Under the circumstances that characterize mosts LDCs, we show that (i) families are willing to pay for education: (ii) the resources collected through user charges could finance a sizable expansion of education: and (iii) scholarships can offset the equity effects of user charges.
