Potassium‐argon ages from some of the Papua New Guinea highlands volcanoes, and their relevance to Pleistocene geomorphic history - Löffler, Ernst; Mackenzie, D. E.; Webb, A. W. (Journal of the Geological Society of Australia, 1979)
Abstract Isotopic dating of 32 whole rock samples from seven of the Papua New Guinea highlands volcanoes shows a wide spread of ages ranging from 1.6 m.y., or possibly 1.9 m.y., to around 200 000 years B.P. These dates, with evidence of recent activity on two volcanoes, suggest that the highlands volcanic province has been active for at least the last 1.6 million years and that early volcanism was contemporaneous with intrusive igneous activity in the Star Mountains. Major eruptions of lavas, however, ceased at about 200 000 years B.P. and there is evidence from some of the volcanoes of apparent long breaks in activity. Glacial activity on Mt Giluwe may date back to 700 000 years, and certainly to about 300 000 years, indicating that altitudes of present magnitudes existed early in the Pleistocene, and that most of the volcanism probably postdates the uplift of the central ranges. Volcanism is also responsible for major changes in the highlands drainage system, but dating of these events is difficult. The isotopic ages are not always consistent with the erosional state of the volcanoes; this also suggests a long and complex history of volcanism in the highlands.

An economic evaluation of apprenticeship training in Western Nigerian small-scale industries - Mabawonku, A.F. (1979)
This analysis of the structure, conduct and performance of the apprenticeship system in Nigeria, where the main concern is the relationship between training and performance, focuses on: (1) a description of the apprenticeship system as an institution for skill acquisition, (2) analysis of the economics of apprenticeship training, and comparative evaluation of returns for apprenticeship system and trade school training, and (3) recommendations of policies regarding training of small scale industry entrepreneurs. The area in Western Nigeria studied included 210 establishments in 4 major industries: Oyo, Ijebu-Ode, and Aiyepe over the period April-December 1976. The area, its industries, sampling of establishments and data collection are outlined. The institutional set-up of the apprenticeship system, and trade schools, and the economic environment in which small-scale entrepreneurs carry out both production and training are detailed. Costs and returns to apprenticeship and trade school training are given. Many apprentices were recruited through personal contacts, and many primary school leavers entered apprenticeship schemes because of poor job opportunities. Training of apprentices is organized informally, while training in the trade centres is organized along formal lines. Social costs of training apprentices comprise trainee costs, proprietor's costs and foregone earnings. Estimated rates of return show that the private as well as social rates of return were high in wage employment for the two types of training programmes. Private as well as social rates of return in self-employed varied with industry and location. The system also provides other sectors with trained workers

Curriculum development in the general secondary school in Egypt since 1952, with comparative reference to the secondary school in America and the grammar school in England - Madkour, A. A. A. (1979)
This study attempts to analyse curriculum development in the general secondary school in Egypt in its relation to the social, economic and political changes that have taken place since 1952. To accomplish this, an analysis of secondary school curricula in two other countries, namely America and England, which have been faced somewhat earlier than Egypt with some of Egypt's current problems, is carried out. Thus in their relation to the social, economic and political changes, the secondary school curricula in the three countries are judged. In addition, in order to understand the nature of these curricula and to characterise changes that have taken place over the period being examined, the major curriculum theories which have dominated educational practices in the world, are identified. Various socio-economic and political changes are associated with the process of modernisation and domecratisation. The effect of this kind of change on secondary school curricula in the three countries takes two forms; first, the need for schools to supply the labour market with skilled manpower flexible and adaptive to the rapidly changing needs of society; second, the need for curricula to provide opportunities for young people to learn the skills needed for making democratic decisions and for participating actively in their society's affairs. Education at secondary level in the three countries has responded (in different degrees) to these demands at mainly organisational level. However, the pragmatic curriculum in America has been geared, to some extent, to these demands. But the same did not occur with the essentialist curriculum in England nor particularly with the encyclopaedic curriculum in Egypt. Thus, problem analysis and its intellectualisation is the subject of Chapter 1. The analysis of contextual variables or causes in the three countries, America, England and Egypt, is carried out in Chapters 2, 4 and 6, respectively. Then, in Chapters 3, 5 and 7, the analysis of curricula in the three countries is carried out. Finally, a theoretical framework to close the gap between theory and practice in the general secondary school in Egypt is suggested in Chapter 8.

THE STATE TAKE‐OVER OF SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA: A CONTROVERSY - Nwagwu, Nicholas A. (Journal of Educational Administration, 1979)
Until the middle of the 20th Century, all the governments of the various regions in Nigeria did was to give grants‐in‐aid to the voluntary agencies that operated approved schools while a few “government schools” were established in a few strategic towns. After the Nigeria‐Biafra civil war in 1970, some State governments took over the complete ownership and control of all educational institutions in their areas of jurisdiction. The educational policies and practices of the voluntary agencies were condemned as being foreign‐oriented, irrelevant to Nigeria's needs, and divisive in the sense that denominational schools encouraged religious and tribal bigotry and unhealthy rivalry among the citizens. It was also argued that state take‐over of all schools would enable the government to plan the education system as part of the national integrated plan for social and economic development. The author supports greater control of the education system by the government and indeed a state take‐over of voluntary schools based on mutual agreement. However, voluntary agencies and private individuals should be allowed to own and run their own schools completely at their own expense within the broad framework of government regulations. However, many Nigerians objected to the unilateral seizure and control of church and private schools by the government. People argued that it was illegal to dispossess the voluntary agencies of schools they built mostly with their own resources without first of all working out an agreement with them which should include adequate compensation.

Drought and Desertification in Africa: Lessons from the Nairobi Conference - Owen, D. F. (Oikos, 1979)
Publicity arising from the Sahel drought of 1968-73 provided the stimulus for the United Nations Conference on Desertification held in Nairobi in 1977. This paper is a personal assessment of what might be learnt from the Conference and what might be done in the future to combat drought and prevent desertification in the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Although droughts are natural in origin all evidence suggests that desertification results from the removal of the vegetational cover by man and his livestock: there is no evidence for long-term climatic change, but climatic variations dating back 500 years are well-documented. From the point of view of human exploitation the arid regions of Africa must be regarded as highly marginal; however over the centuries pastoralists and cultivators have accumulated a vast fund of knowledge, much of it ecological, which is put to good effect. The emergence of modern Africa into politically and economically fragmented nations and the introduction of technological innovation have helped precipitate desertification in formerly productive areas, as has the increase in numbers of people and livestock to levels beyond sustainable carrying capacities which itself is partly the result of introduced technology. Future research and development projects aimed at stopping desertification and coping with drought must (1) accept, understand, and incorporate the fund of knowledge possessed by pastoralists and cultivators who live in risky regions, (2) make no pretence that existing life-styles are unalterable they are already changing fast, and (3) provide a proper means of evaluation which will prevent mistakes and failures from being repeated. Certain kinds of fashionable biological research (examples are laboratory-based investigations on locusts and tsetse flies) may no longer be necessary. What is wanted now is a more integrated community ecology approach, the aim of which should be to determine maximum and (especially) sustainable carrying capacities which minimize the effects of drought and halt desertification.

Age distribution of patients attending the out-patient department university of Benin teaching hospital: A retrospective study - Oyarebu, Kenneth A. (Public Health, 1979)
A descriptive epidemiology of the distribution in the General Out-patient Department (G.O.P.D.) of 1974 in the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (U.B.T.H.) Benin City, Nigeria was undertaken between January and July 1976. The G.O.P.D. records of 1974 in the U.B.T.H. Medical Report Department were the source of collecting data. Analysis of the age distribution of the patients attending the Out-patient Department in 1974 showed that out of the total 58,192 patients, the 0–4 years age group constituted 24,810, patient or 43% of the bulk of the patients. The 5–9 years age group constituted 6113 patients or 11%, followed by the 20–24 years age group with 4583 or 8%. The 25–29 age group constituted 4040 patients or 6%. The smallest groups of patients were the 65–69, 70–74, and 75 plus with 206 patients, or 0·4%, 181 patients or 0·3%, 164 patients or 0·3% respectively. The bulk of the patients attending the G.O.P.D. in 1974 were babies, school age group and young adolescents. The unspecified age group due to errors or negligence constituted 1784 patients or 3·0%.

Adult education and modernity in the Arab Republic of Egypt : a comparative study of adult education policy in the Arab Republic of Egypt and England - Soliman, Saeed Gamil (1979)
'!'he present study is an attempt to apply Holmes' Problem approach to the staggering modernity stride in the Arab Republic of Egypt since 1952. Throughout the whole period, various documents have been keen on expressing the leaders' zeal for the establishment of a modern state both politically and economically. However, the outcome has been disappointing. An inapt adult base in terms of unmodified internalised attitudes and inadequate skills, has made the realisation of modernity proposals difficult. With the possible contribution of adult education in mind, the study assumes that if Egypt is to modernize, an adult education policy that penetrates the Egyptian adult masses is a pressing demand tor Egypt's future. Part one deals with 'Problem statement' through which the background of the problem is given in terms of 'rising expectations' versus 'growing frustration' 1n-many countries of the underdeveloped world since the mid-twentieth century. The part reviews as well the inconsistency as clear in the Egyptian case, raises the hypothesis and explains the method followed throughout the study. Part two deals with 'Problem 1ntel1ectualisation' after Holmes' 'Change-No-Change' method of analysis. 'Change' is il1ustrated by modernity proposals in post-1952 documents in comparison with those before 1952. 'No-Change', on the other hand, is represented in the unmodified attitudes of the adult masses, and skill inadequacy that have stood in the way of real1~ing the above proposals. Part three deals with the 'Proposed Policy Solution' which is reached through the identification of 'modernity' 10 various schools, the ideal typical modern society and man; together with the investigation of the possible contribution of adult education to modernity in so far as attitudes and skills of its clientele are concerned. Part four deals with the 'Contextual Analysis' in which the adult education policies in post-1944 England, and post-I952 Egypt are analysed. The socio-economic differences between the two countries are well recognized; but two major policy trends form the basis of cultural borrowing, namely the integration of adult education into the national system of education)and partnership between providing agencies. Part five deals with the 'Workabil1ty of the Solution'. It takes some salient aspects of Egypt's institutional, normative and environmental conditions as base tor judging possible success in the adoption and implementation of the recommended po1icy.

The age of menarche in Nigerian urban school girls - Uche, G.O.; Okorafor, Apia E. (Annals of Human Biology, 1979)
SummaryIn March and April 1978, a sample of 1365 girls from three secondary schools within and near Enugu (capital of Anambra State of Nigeria) were interviewed regarding date of birth and menstrual status. Using probit analysis, the mean age at menarche was 13·54±0·07 years, implying, when compared with earlier studies, a rate of decline in the average menarcheal age of about four months per decade. Significant differences were observed in the menarcheal ages of the girls with respect to their geographical residence and the occupation of their fathers. The results obtained in the study are similar to those reported by Oduntan et al. (1976) for south-western Nigeria, and they lend support to the proposition that improvements in nutrition and the elimination of infectious diseases (characteristics associated with socioeconomic development) tend to reduce the average menarcheal age.

Education in Dependent Societies: Ghana and Tanzania - Williamson, Bill (1979)
The framework of comparative study which governs the organisation of my discussion has already been set out in Chapter 2. In this section of the present chapter I want to make clear why, given the general orientation to comparison which I have adopted, a specific comparison of Tanzania and Ghana is a useful one to make. My argument has three main themes. The first is that both societies have experienced a direct form of colonial domination by Britain. The second is that, as a consequence of this colonial domination both societies experienced economic changes which tied them to the developed capitalist economies of the western world and which, even after the formal transfer of political authority in the form of independence, continue to set the constraints on what is possible in terms of further socioeconomic development. Finally, both societies, for complex historical and political reasons, face the future in different ways. They follow quite different models of development and these differences have a direct bearing on what is being done in the field of education and in other institutional areas. The differences between the two societies in this respect are sufficiently great to help us judge how far social changes stemming from the action of a dependent state itself can overcome the structure of economic and cultural constraints which colonial penetration left behind and which modern capitalism maintains.

Stratiform magnetite crystals of abnormal morphology from volcanic carbonatites in Tanzania, Kenya, Greenland, and India - Deans, Traci (Mineralogical magazine (Print), 1978)
Summary Magnetite is common in carbonatites, and usually has octahedral habit. Abnormal crystals from Galapo, Tanzania, were long thought to be unique, but such crystals are now known to occur at seven localities in four countries. The magnetite is titaniferous, but not unusual in composition for its provenance. The abnormal crystals typically have large growth pyramids extending in one direction (occasionally in two or more directions). They appear to be formed by superimposition of macroscopic growth sheets, parallel to octahedral and other planes, giving a planar structure to the growth pyramid. The edges of the sheets may form low-index or more complex surfaces. Some sheets project beyond the bounding planes of the growth pyramid, which is not repeated in crystallographically equivalent orientations. This unusual mode of growth will be called stratiform. Recognition of these distinctive crystals elsewhere might reveal the presence of hitherto unsuspected carbonatites.

The Labour History of the Witwatersrand in the Context of South African Studies, and with Reflections on the New School∗∗ - Johnstone, Frederick (Social Dynamics, 1978)
In recent years South African studies have been radically transformed by a new school of work. The essential thrust of this new Marxist school has been to reconceptualise, retheorise and reanalyse the relationship between the economic system and the racial system in South Africa. The traditional liberal school has failed to see the ways and the extent to which important forms of racial domination have actually been integral and functional components of South African capitalism. The Marxist school must not let its strengths in political economy numb it from a sensitivity to cultural, ideological and psychological factors that are not always reducable to, or subsumable within, questions of political economy.

The professional attitudes of Nigerian first year medical students - Jegede, R. Olukayode (Medical Education, 1978)
In a study of the development of professional attitudes in medical students, a modified version of the Medical Attitudes Inventory (Harris, 1974) was administered to 141 male and female first year medical students in Lagos, Nigeria. The results show that the students have well-defined attitudes on certain issues and are divided on others. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for medical education, attitude research and durability of students' attitudes in and beyond medical school. The influence of contemporary social factors on student professional attitudes is also considered. The instrument has sufficient psychometric attributes to warrant further use.

The British adaptation of education policy for Africans in Zambia 1925-1964: a problem in synthesis - Mukoboto, Sibeso (1978)
The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze how the Brit ish policy of Adaptation of Education waS defined and applied to the Zambian situation in the period 1925 to 1964. In analyzing this period, the main focus is on the inability of this policy to bring about a proper synthesis between theory on paper and actual practice, and the problem of bringing about a proper synthesis between British and Zambian indigenous systems of education. I would like to acknowledge the assistance and cooperation I have received from my Thesis Director, Dr. Wasyl Shimoniak, and members of the Thesis Committee, Drs. Adrian Dupuis and David Gardinier. Further appreciation is extended to Dr. A. Tiberondwa and E. B. Rugumayo of the University of Zambia for stimulating my interest in this subject. I would also like to thank my mother, father, and uncle Lisulo for their continued support in my academic career.

Intestinal parasites of school children in urban and rural areas of Eastern Nigeria. - Uv, Onubogu (PubMed, 1978)
From October 1975 to March 1976 an epidemiological survey was carried out in Anambra and Imo states of Nigeria to determine the rate of intestinal worm and protozoan infections in school children. A total of 1742 children, out of which 813 from the urban and 929 from the rural school were screened of intestinal helminths and 1699 were also examined for intestinal protozoan infections. Concentration methods HCL-Ether centrifugation technique and Heidenhain's iron-hematoxylin staining method respectively were adopted for the identification of helminth eggs and protozoal cysts. 1405, i.e. 81% of the total number examined, eggs of one or more helminth species were detected. Carriage-rates of helminth infections were highest (87%) in children from the rural schools, in whom hookworm (90% of carriers) predominated. Besides high rates of hookworm, ascaris and trichuris infections, other parasites of public health importance (Schistosoma mansoni, Paragonimus uterobilateralis and Diphylobothrium latum) were detected. Significantly an increase in the rate of helminthic infections with age was noted in the survey. 55% of the 1699 children examined were carriers of cysts of one or more protozoa species. Higher carriage-rate (56%) of protozoan infections was noted in urban children. Comparatively lambliasis predominated in the urban children, while infection with E. histolytica was recorded slightly higher in rural children.

Volcanics from the Sierra Leone Rise - Hékinian, Roger; Bonté, Philippe; Dupley, P.L.; Blanc, P. L.; Jehano, C.; Labeyrie, Laurent D; Dupleyssis, J.C. (Nature, 1978)
THE Sierra Leone Rise, located in the east equatorial Atlantic, forms a discontinuous chain of seamounts as shallow as 2 km extending with a general NE–SW trend from near the Sierra Leone coast of Africa, to the St Paul fracture zone near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Fig. 1). The origin of this feature has remained a topic of discussion. Sheridan et al.1 have hypothesised that the Sierra Leone Rise is a volcanic structure formed at the beginning of the opening of the Atlantic in the early Cretaceous period. The twin features of the Sierra Leone and the Ceara Rises are probably of oceanic origin and were created 80 Myr ago or later in their present-day position with respect to Africa and South America2. The Atlantic ocean exhibits several similar aseismic structures which appear symmetrically oriented with respect to the mid-oceanic ridge, such as the Walvis–Rio Grande Rise and the Iceland Faeroes–Iceland Greenland Ridges. These structures are volcanic edifices having a composition similar to that found in their associated islands3–7. Deep sea drilling of the Ceara Rise8,9 penetrated a basaltic basement of the upper Cretaceous period (Maestrichtian) (Leg 39, Site 354). Similarly, a DSDP hole (Leg 41, Site 366) on the Sierra Leone Rise, penetrated sediments of the same period, without reaching basement10. We report here the discovery of alkali-rich volcanics in an area of the Sierra Leone Rise. The sediment overlying the rock fragments is aged ∼45 Myr.

Female education and fertility: some evidence from Sierra Leone. - Ketkar, Suhas L. (PubMed, 1978)
Information was collected through a census and a household survey in Sierra Leone to assess the effect of female education on fertility. Data from Sierra Leone exhibit the inverted U-shape relationship between female education and fertility which has been shown previously in developing countries. This contrasts with findings from developed countries where increases in female education are associated with linear decreases in fertility. The Sierra Leone study showed that reproductive-age hosuewives with some primary education had more children than women with no education. Attainment of some secondary education decreased fertility but not below the level of uneducated housewives. It is only college education that lowers the number of children born to substantially below that of uneducated women. A multiple regression technqiue within the general framework of the household model was used to find the female education threshold, i.e., the critical education level at which fertility begins to decline. An explanation for this education/fertility relationship is that educated women tend to enter the job market in jobs which are incompatible with childraising, whereas women with less education work at jobs compatible with childraising and use the added income to afford greater fertility. Making available more career-type jobs for women, reducing the level of child mortality in a country, and improving health facilities would tend to cause a lowering of fertility.

A volcano-sedimentary copper deposit on a continental margin of upper Proterozoic age; Bleida (Anti-Atlas, Morocco) - Leblanc, Marc; Billaud, Pierre (Economic geology and the bulletin of the Society of Economic Geologists, 1978)
Situated on the northern edge of the West African craton, the Bleida orebodies are located on an inactive continental margin along which are preserved ophiolites of Upper Proterozoic age. The copper deposits (chalcopyrite, bornite, pyrite) are stratiform distal massive sulfide deposits whose position is controlled by both the sedimentation of shales and an acid volcanism which follows a more important basic volcanism. Pan-African deformation (650-600 m.y.) has determined the actual geometry of the cupriferous lenses although it has not remobilized the sulfides out of their original carrier beds. The known reserves amount to about 200,000 tons of copper metal, mostly contained in high-grade ore (8% Cu).

Education and National Integration in Africa: A Case Study of Nigeria - Chukunta, N. K. Onuoha (African Studies Review, 1978)
Although philosophers do not accept that education has intrinsic values or that it serves instrumental ends (Dewey, 1966; Peters, 1967; Gribble, 1969), most people would readily agree that it can be put to several uses and that it fulfills diverse functions. If by education we mean the aggregate of skills, values, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for the self-perpetuation of a society, it is easy to see its instrumental extensions, philosophers notwithstanding. Hence in every society that we know of today—under whatever form of government—much faith is placed on education as a panacea of all social evils. One of the tasks that education has been assigned in Africa is to forge national consciousness out of a myriad of ethnic particularities. From all indications, it has not been a success. Statistical studies of the relationship between formal education and political integration in Africa have generally painted a grim picture. In their study of six nations—involving university students from Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, and Zaire (then the Congo)—Klineberg and Zavalloni (1965) found that national consciousness was very low, particularly in Nigeria. To the question “What are you?” 56 percent of the Igbos and 60 percent of the Yorubas replied in terms of ethnic references. The Yorubas disliked the Igbos more than the Igbos disliked them (74 percent Yorubas as opposed to 59 percent Igbos), and a Yoruba in Nigeria felt closer to a Yoruba in Benin (then Dahomey) than to a non-Yoruba in Nigeria.

Subaerial Volcanic Rocks of the Willaumez-Manus Rise, Papua New Guinea: A Key to the Origin of the Rise? - Johnson, R. W.; Arculus, R. J. (Exploration Geophysics, 1978)
An asymmetrical rise, 450 km long, on the Bismarck Sea floor extends between Manus Island and Willaumez Peninsula on the north central coast of New Britain (Figure 1). Northeast of the steeper flank of the rise is the Manus Basin, 2500 m deep, which is deeper and apparently younger than the New Guinea Basin southwest of the rise. The Willaumez-Manus Rise is coincident with a Bouguer gravity trough; Wiiicox (1977) calculated its crust to be 21-25 km thick, in contrast to values of mainly 19-21 km for the two adjacent basins.The Bismarck sea floor is thought to be a marginal basin (e.g. Karig, 1973). An anomalous feature, however, is the pronounced east-west zone of earthquakes that extends across the sea, and cuts the Willaumez-Manus Rise. The earthquake zone has been regarded as a left-lateral strike-slip plate boundary (e.g. Johnson and Molnar, 1972), but the rise is not obviously displaced by the boundary, and more recent studies have shown that sea-floor spreading is probably taking place along parts of the earthquake zone, particularly in the Manus Basin (Connelly, 1975, 1976; Taylor, 1975).Quaternary volcanic rocks form the islands in the St Andrew Strait area and the Witu islands at the northwestern and southeastern ends of the rise, respectively. Two possibilities for the origin of the rise may be discussed with regard to the compositions of these volcanic rocks. One possibility is that the rise is the trace of a mantle melting spot. Basaltic rocks on one of the St Andrew Strait islands have compositions similar in many respects to those of oceanic islands, but the most abundant rock type in the area is alkali-rich rhyolite which appears to be the product of partial melting of basaltic crust, implying high geothermal gradients (Johnson et al., 1978). Although St Andrew Strait may overlie an intra-plate melting spot, the Willaumez-Manus Rise is unlikely to represent its trace across the Bismarck Sea floor. There is, for example, no evidence along the rise crest for a chain of volcanoes that are progressively younger northwestwards; and if the Manus Basin is younger than the New Guinea Basin the presence of a melting-spot trace at the southwestern margin of the Manus Basin would be highly coincidental.Many basaltic rocks in the Witu islands are petrologically similar to the rocks that are found in marginal basins formed by back-arc sea-floor spreading (Johnson and Arculus, 1978). If these rocks are representative of the submarine volcanic rocks that may exist elsewhere along the rise crest, then the rise may be an extinct spreading axis. But this interpretation is also unlikely, because, together with andesites, dacites, and rhyolites, the basalts of the Witu Islands are consistent with progressive changes in chemical composition of rocks from New Britain volcanoes, and these changes are apparently related to different depths to the Benioff Zone that dips northwards beneath the New Britain island arc (Johnson, 1977). Volcanism in the Witu Islands may therefore be dependent upon mantle upwelling above a downgoing slab rather than at a spreading axis. Moreover, a spreading-axis interpretation does not account for the apparent difference in age between the two basins, or for the asymmetry of the rise, and fracture zones orthogonal to the postulated spreading axis have not been identified.The Willaumuz-Manus Rise does not seem to be primarily a volcanic feature. Its origin is more likely to be tectonic – perhaps uplift of old lithosphere at the edge of the New Guinea Basin near its contact with hotter and younger lithosphere beneath the Manus Basin (Johnson et al. in prep.).

Differential Responses of Guinea Grass Populations to Drought Stress1 - Klar, Antônio Evaldo; Usberti, J. A.; Henderson, D. W. (Crop Science, 1978)
A study of drought stress was carried out on three guinea grass ( Panicum maximum Jacq.) populations having three different levels of genetic variability; the most variable reproduces sexually. Three preconditioning treatments were used. In the wet treatment, plants were watered daily; in the medium, when soil water potential (ψ s ) reached about —1.0 bar (18 drying cycles); and in the dry when ψ s reached about — 15 bars (eight drying cycles). For all three populations, drought‐preconditioned plants had significantly lower leaf water potentials (ψ L ) and relative water contents (RWC) than daily‐watered plants when turgor pressure reached zero during a drying cycle. Additionally, ψ L values for stomatal closure (threshold ψ L ) were lower for the dry and medium treatments than for the wet one. Adaptability to drought was measured in terms of stomatal closure and forage production under stress conditions. Populations with intermediate to high levels of genetic variability performed best in relation to drought adaptability and forage production. Threshold leaf water potential appeared to be useful in selecting new germplasms for drought resistance. The variable populations might therefore allow improvement of forage production by breeding under water stess conditions.

Student nurse rural fieldwork in mainland Tanzania - Smith, Pamela A. (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 1978)
The development of the health services in the majority of underdeveloped countries during the colonial period, and immediately after independence, have concentrated on providing a largely hospital‐based curative programme. This has also included training of the local population, particularly as nurses, to carry out this programme. Figures show that, for the African region of the World Health Organization (WHO), nursing personnel form a significant group of trained health manpower (WHO 1973). The objective of this paper, therefore, is to raise the question of whether nurses in underdeveloped countries should continue to be trained mainly for their traditional tasks of caring for the sick in hospitals, or whether the majority of them should be channelled into other types of work more appropriate to the major needs of the population. In order to reach this objective, an example is given of the Tanzanian experience 15 years after independence, including a description of a community health project involving a group of student nurses in the rural areas of mainland Tanzania.

The Use of Audiovisual Materials in Science Teaching in the Arab Republic of Egypt - Wassef, Wassef Aziz (Programmed learning & educational technology (1967), 1978)
Abstract The Arab Republic of Egypt has long been interested in promoting the use of aids in schools and universities, especially in science teaching. The general Audiovisual Aids Department was established in 1956 to produce samples, models, posters and other media. Although these efforts were largely successful, some problems hindered the full development of educational technology. Lengthy school curricula, lack of good teacher preparation programmes, scarcity of funds, bureaucracy and the traditional system of examinations are among the major obstacles. The study conducted by the author showed that the heavy demand media makes on teachers’ time is the major problem, followed by overcrowded curricula, then examinations, the negative attitude of teachers towards media and finally the inadequate preparation of teachers. The author ends the article with a hope that efforts in the educational media field can be consolidated and co‐ ordinated in using and producing films, TV programmes and science and maths lab equipment, in order to offset the dangers of verbalisation and explain abstract concepts in a concrete way.

AUTOMAINTENANCE IN GUINEA PIGS: EFFECTS OF FEEDING REGIMEN AND OMISSION TRAINING1 - Poling, Alan; Poling, Teresa (Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1978)
Behavior maintained by stimulus‐reinforcer pairings was examined. Guinea pigs maintained at 85 per cent of free‐feeding weights reliably contacted a retractable lever presented before delivery of a single piece of guinea‐pig chow or a 45‐milligram guinea‐pig pellet. When animals were given free access to one food and received the second food preceded by the lever, contact responses persisted. Such responses seldom occurred when a single food was freely available and was also delivered after lever presentation. Introduction of an omission training (negative automaintenance) procedure, in which lever contacts resulted in lever retraction and prevented food delivery, strongly reduced lever contacts. Observation indicated that mouthing the food cup, instead of the lever, became the prominent behavior during the prefood stimulus under the omission training procedure.

Drought and the Nigerian farmer - Oguntoyinbo, Julius S.; Richards, Paul (Journal of Arid Environments, 1978)
Bulk homogeneous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels (PCH) are difficult to prepare due to the flocculation effect between polyelectrolytes with opposite charges. Herein, novel chitosan/sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels (CPG) were fabricated successfully by cross-linking chitosan and PAAS with epichlorohydrin (ECH) through inhibiting protonation effect of chitosan in alkali/urea aqueous solution. The swelling behaviors of CPG were studied systematically in different solutions. The equilibrium swelling ratio of chitosan hydrogel in water increased dramatically from 46.3 to 404.8 g/g by the introduction of PAAS. CPG exhibited different swelling ratios towards different pH solutions, physiological solutions and salt solutions with different concentrations, showing obvious smart responsive properties. Moreover, CPG hydrogels exhibited relatively high compressive strength, good biocompatibility and in vitro biodegradability. Therefore, this work provided a novel PCH and shed light on the fabrication of other PCH, showing potential applications in the fields of agriculture, foods, tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Disease pattern among university students in savanna region of Nigeria - Jain, Poornima; Abengowe, C. U. (Public Health, 1978)
The results of the analysis of 2492 records out of 2613 students for the session 1973–4 at Ahmadu Bello University Health Centre, Zaria located in the savanna region of Nigeria have been presented. Out of 2613 students only 121 (4·5%) did not attend the health centre at any time during the whole session. There were a total of 18,852 consultations by 2492 students with an average of 7·5 consultations per student per session. Venereal diseases together with sex problems formed the commonest condition with 3242 (17%) consultations, followed by psychiatric, respiratory and specific infections and parasitic diseases with 2856 (15%), 2593 (14%) and 2447 (13%) consultations respectively. The various factors contributing to the development of psychiatric problems in students together with some aspects of climatic and social environment have been discussed. The need for further development of student health services to include the special provisions with regard to incidence of venereal diseases has been emphasized. There appeared to be ample justification for further and more detailed investigations into drug addiction and alcoholism amongst students.

The Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Air Pollution Episode Days Over Southern Africa - Diab, R. D. (South African Geographical Journal, 1978)
Abstract Frequency distributions of air pollution episode days over Southern Africa were examined for the years 1969 to 1972 W.M.O. 1972. “Dispersion and forecastting of air pollution”. In Technical Note No. 121, Geneva: W.M.O. [Google Scholar]. The more severe episodes with mixing depths below 1 000 metres were largely confined to the coastal margins, although when the mixing depth threshold was raised to 2 000 metres and the wind speed lay below 4 ms−1 Pretoria experienced the greatest number of episode days. In general, Alexander Bay probably has the greatest potential for atmospheric stagnation with Grootfontein experiencing the least.

Shifting Goals of Industrial Education in the Congo 1878-1908 - Yates, Barbara A. (African Studies Review, 1978)
The history of industrial education in the European-initiated educational systems of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Africa has been and remains controversial. Some scholars maintain that in the late 1800s both the government and missionaries favored, and indeed established, industrial training (Berman, 1974: 530; Foster, 1965). Others insist that, contrary to government wishes, missionaries resisted the establishment of industrial education until the beginning of the twentieth century, when industrial training came into vogue only as a result of “doubts regarding the mental ability of the Black African.” (Lyons, 1975: 148-49). These conflicting observations about industrial education (here meaning both pre-industrial and industrial skills taught for personal as well as occupational use) are based primarily upon the British Protestant experience in West Africa. Experience in Belgian Africa was quite different. This paper will argue that there were two distinct phases in the development of industrial education in the Congo during the Leopoldian era: (1) the late nineteenth century, characterized by the training of a limited few highly skilled craftsmen for missionary service and (2) the early twentieth century, when the skill component of industrial education declined to the teaching of a bit of carpentry as an adjunct to general education, especially for prospective evangelists and catechists. In the second phase, even those missions which originally had prepared skilled craftsmen for their own use now eagerly accepted the watered-down version of industrial education.

Personal thoughts on training in general anaesthesia and in research methods in dentistry in South Africa. - Cleaton‐Jones, Peter (PubMed, 1978)
If there is a need for training in general anaesthesia I believe it must be because of frequent administration of general anaesthesia by the dentist. Observation suggests to me that today very few dentists in South Africa ad minister general anaesthetics. General anaesthetics in South African dental practice are usually administered either by specialist anaesthetists or by general medical practitioners. This being the case it does appear that there is not a need for training in general anaesthesia.

The adaptation of African students to American society - Pruitt, France J (International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 1978)
This report summarizes the results of a questionnaire study involving 296 sub-Saharan African students from a representative set of nine American campuses. Some of the results suggest that African students in this country in the middle 70s: are predominantly Christian and middle-class in origin. coming mostly from cities of over 10,000; Nigerians vastly outnumber those from any other country; are two-thirds undergraduates and one-third graduate students, with at least a third having started their American education in a community college; are mostly supported by their families or themselves. Their major problems at first are in the areas of climate, communication with Americans, discrimination, homesickness, depression, irritability, and tiredness. Only a minority feel comfortable with the basic elements of American culture, though the vast majority are pleased with the education they arc receiving. It was possible to identify several correlates of adjustment, defined as happiness and freedom from various problems. Students have a more positive attitude toward American values if they are from more prominent families, have attended an orientation to American education, and spend time with Americans rather than other Africans. Contact with the foreign-student office on campus seems to he an effective bridge to American culture and also engenders positive attitudes toward American education. En este informe se dan los resultados de un estudio hecho por medio de un cuestionario que involucró 296 estudiantes africanos de paîses al sud de Sahara de una muestra representativa de 9 universidades americanas. Los resultados sugieren que los estudiantes africanos en este paîs a mediados de la dé'cada del 1970 poseen las caracteristicas siguientes: Son en forma predominante cristianos, de clase media y provenientes de ciudades de mas de 10,000 habitantes. En una gran mayorîa son nigerianos. Hay dos veces mas estudiantes de postgraduación que los universitarios comunes. Por lo menos un tercio de ellos inició su educación en los Estados Unidos en Community Colleges. Mas de la mitad son mantenidos por sus familias o automantenidos. Sus problemas principales, por lo menos al principio son relacionados con el clima, comunicación con los americanos, discriminación, añoranza de sus hogares, depresiön, irritabilidad y cansancio. La mayorîa de estos problemas disminuye con el tiempo, quedando no obstante la depression y cansancio como los mas resitentes. Solamente una minorîa se siente cómoda con los elementos básicos de la cultura norteamericana, apesar de que la gran mayorîa se muestra muy conforme con la educación que está recibiendo. Fué posible identificar varias variables que correlacionan con el ajuste, definido como sentirse feliz y libre de varios problemas. Los nombres mostraron estar mas ajustados al cambio que las mujeres. Los de Nigeria y los mantenidos por sus gobiemos expresaron estar mas ajustados que el promedio, mientras que los etîopes y los que se automantienen estaban entre los menos conformes. Un factor que incide positivamente en ajustarse es la adquisición previa de conocimiento antes de venir. Lo mismo ocurre con la asimilación a la sociedad de los Estados Unidos. Esto se refleja en los que se relacionan con americanos y aceptar la cultura americana, son los que se hallan más felices y libres de problemas que los que no pasan por ese proceso. El contacto con americanos blancos parece contribuir mas al ajuste que el contacto con americanos negros. En cambio, el contacto con sus co-nacionales o con otros estudiantes africanos parece ser contraproducente en cuanto a ajustarse. Sorprendentemente, el aspecto que mejor permitîa prever el ajuste es el mantenimiento de su fe religiosa. Al llegar a los Estados Unidos, la mayorîa de los estudiantes africanos reducen su asistencia a la iglesia y desarrollan actitudes negativas hacia la religión. Estos estudiantes son menos felices y tienen más problemas que los mucho menos numerosos que mantienen sus actividades y contactos religiosos. Se halló que la asimilación a la sociedad americana era mejor en aquellos sujetos arribados al psîs a edades menores, asî como los que venîan de familias prominentes y los que mantenîan sus convicciones religiosas. Los africanos de habla inglesa no se asimilaban tan facilmente como los de habla inglesa, pero a su vez son menos frecuentemente vîctimas del prejuicio racial. Un elemento particularmente importante para la felicidad es el de la aceptación de los valores americanos y de su modo de vida. Nuestros resultados sugieren que que los estudiantes tienen una actitud mas positiva hacio los valores americanos si vienen de familias prominentes, han sido previamente orientados hacia el sistema educativo americano, y pasan mas tiempo con americanos que con otros africanos. Las experiencias con respecto a discriminación racial paracen ser una fuente importante de aislamiento de la cultura norteamericana. El contacto con la oficina de estudiantes estrangeros dentro de la universidad parace ser un buen puente hacia la cultura americana y engendra actitudes positivas hacia la educación norteamericana. Ce rapport se base sur les résultats d'une enquête menée auprès de 296 étudiants africains “sub-sahariens,” d'un échantillon représentatif de 9 campus américains. Les résultats indiquent que les 'etudiants africains du milieu des années '70, dans ce pays, présentent les caractéristiques suivantes: ils sont à prédominance d'origine moyenne et chrétienne, venant en général de villes d'au-delà 10,000 habitants. Les Nigériens sont beaucoup plus nombreux que ceux des autres pays. Il y a deux fois plus de sous-gradués que de gradués. Au moins le tiers a commencé ses études aux Etats Unis dans une institution religieuse. Plus de la moitié subvient à ses besoins ou reccoit de l'aide de sa famille. Leurs problèmes majeurs sont reliés au climat, à la communication avec les Américains, à la discrimination, au mal du pays, à la dépression, à l'irritabilité et à la fatigue. La plupart de ces difficultés diminuent avec le temps, la dépression et la fatigue demeurent quand même les problèmes majeurs les plus fréquents. Seulement une minorité se sent à l'aise au sein de la culture américaine, mais la grande majorité est satisfaite de l'éducation qu'elle y reçoit. Il a été possible d'identifier que l'adaptation va de pair avec plusieurs autres dimensions que l'on peut définir comme des sentiments de bonheur et de liberté face à différents problèmes. Les hommes semblent mieux s'adapter que les femmes. Les Nigériens et, en général, ceux qui sont soutenus par leur gouvernement. manifestent une adaptation supérieure à la moyenne, tandis que les Ethiopiens et ceux qui doivent subvenir eux-mêmes à leurs besoins, se retrouvent au-dessous de la moyenne. Une connaissance des Etats Unis, avant leur arrivée, semble contribuer à une meilleure adaptation. Il en est de même pour l'intégration dans la société américaine, comme on peut le voir dans le fait que les étudiants qui ont des amis intimes parmi les Américains et qui acceptent la culture américaine, sont plus heureux et ont moins de problèmes que ceux qui ne réagissent pas ainsi. Les contacts avec les blancs semblent contribuer plus largement à l'adaptation que les contacts avec les noirs. Au contraire, les contacts avec des compatriotes ou avec d'autres Africains semblent retarder l'adaptation. Curieusement, le meilleur prédicteur de l'adaptation semble être le maintien de la pratique religieuse. La plupart des étudiants africains diminuent leur pratique religieuse et développent des attitudes négatives face à la religion lorsqu'ils arrivent au pays. Ces étudiants semblent moins heureux et ont plus de problèmes que ceux, moins nombreux, qui conservent leurs convictions et maintiennent leur pratique religieuse. L'assimilation à la société américaine semble se faire plus facilement pour ceux qui sont arrivés au pays plus jeunes, ceux qui viennent de familles en vue ou importantes, et pour ceux qui conservent leur pratique religieuse. Les Africains francophones ne s'assimilent pas aussi vite que les Africains anglophones, mais ils sont aussi moins souvent victimes de préjugés raciaux. L'acceptation des valeurset du mode de vie américains semble être un des éléments importants de l'assimilation et semble le plus contribuer au bonheur des nouveaux arrivants. Il ressort de notre étude que les étudiants ont une attitude plus positive face aux valeurs américaines s'ils proviennent de familles à l'aise ou importantes. ont été préparé à recevoir une éducation américaine et, fréquentent des Américains plutôt que d'autres Africains. Des expériences de discrimination semblent être une source majeure de désaffection face à la culture américaine. La fréquentation du service aux étudiants étrangers sur les campus semble aider à la compréhension de la culture américaine et engendrer des attitudes positives face à l'éducation américaine.

Ethiopian experience in health manpower training. A review of the Public Health College. - Wp, Chang (PubMed, 1978)
Health manpower development in Ethiopia, mainly the paramedical personnel training programmes of the Public Health College, is reviewed and discussed. The 'health team' training programme in Gondar is the most practical and a significant development in the field of paramedical training for developing countries. The pattern and experience of the Gondar training programme could contribute to the world's knowledge of training and utilization of health teams for rural health services. It could serve as a model, with appropriate modifications, for other developing countries. The 'team' approach during training and services, the Health Officer, supported by paramedical personnel, who serves as the team leader, and the gradual development of medical education are realistic, and effective means for producing health manpower in the developing countries. The establishment of a definite career structure, with prospects for future continuing professional advancement, respectable status, appropriate authority, adequate technical supervision, administrative support, decent working and living conditions are vital for the success of this programma in Ethiopia.

Reactive Identification, Alienation, and Locus of Control among Somali Students - Bulhan, Hussein Abdilahi (The Journal of Social Psychology, 1978)
Summary The Theory of Reactive Identification formulates three reactions of Western-educated Africans to the Euro-American world: (a) Moving Toward, (b) Moving Away, and (c) Moving Against identifications. Three scales corresponding to these patterns of identification were constructed and specific hypotheses tested by means of multiple assessments involving 45 Somali students in the United States. The results generally followed the predicted pattern. Moving Toward was not found to be the predominant course of identification. Moving Toward scores were significantly associated with scores on alienation and external control but also with activities and attitudes antagonistic to Somali Nationalist, Pan-Africanist, Black Nationalist, or Socialist ideology. Exactly the opposite trend was obtained from Moving Against scores. Moving Away was, however, characterized only by heightened racial awareness.

Auditory thresholds and kanamycin-induced hearing loss in the guinea pig assessed by a positive reinforcement procedure - Prosen, Cynthia A.; Petersen, Michael R.; Moody, D. Branch; Stebbins, William C. (Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978)
Absolute thresholds from 125 Hz to 52 kHz are determined for six guinea pigs trained by a positive reinforcement method. Four to five hundred trials were conducted during daily testing sessions and little between- or within-subject variability was found. Two of the six animals were subsequently treated with kanamycin and the development of a hearing loss for the high frequencies was followed. Loss of outer and to a lesser extent inner hair cells was well correlated with the threshold shift observed. Contrary to the experience of previous investigators, this operant training procedure has proved as efficient as that for other species of experimental animals, such as the monkey and the chinchilla. It holds excellent promise for future auditory behavioral work with the guinea pig.

Growth, school attendance, and serum albumin levels in South African black children of 10-12 years. - Ar, Walker; Bhamjee, D; Bf, Walker; Bd, Richardson (The Journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1978)
Studies on representative series of South African Black schoolchildren aged 10-12 years revealed the following. (1) In the age sex groups, mean proportions lying below the Boston 3rd percentile of weight for age were high (a very common phenomenon), ranging from 20-84 per cent. (2) Of total moieties above and below the 3rd percentile, 96 per cent and 95 per cent had normal weight for height (more than 80 per cent of the 50th percentile of reference standards). (3) Both moieties had equally excellent records of school attendance, 94 per cent and 93 per cent. (4) Mean serum albumin levels, also the proportions having relatively low levels, did not differ significantly, either in the respective subgroups above and below the 3rd percentile, or in groups of pupils accustomed and not accustomed to supplementary school-feeding. Accordingly, it is considered that classification, without qualification, of schoolchildren as malnourished simply because of slower growth compared with western norms is unwarranted.

Petrochemical and geochemical characteristics of the Dokhan volcanics at the type locality — Jabal Dokhan, Eastern Desert, Egypt - Basta, E. Z.; Kotb, H.; Awadallah, M.F. (Precambrian Research, 1978)
A Precambrian skarn-type mineralization is recently discovered in the Wadi Kid area in southeast Sinai, Egypt. Two sulfide ore types define large scale metal zoning; Cu–Zn–Co in calc-silicate rocks and Zn–Pb–As–Ag in metapelites. The sulfides and host rocks underwent amphibolite facies metamorphism (2.1–4.2 kbar and 500–620 °C). Dating by the chemical Th–U-total Pb isochrone method yields an Th–Pb isochrone age of 660 ± 25 Ma for metamorphic monazite from metapelites. Overall structural and textural relationships of silicate and sulfide minerals favor syn-tectonic formation during granitoids emplacement in a continental margin setting. Large-scale metal zoning reflects variable distances from the causative pluton(s). The Wadi Kid area is highly prospective for Cu, Zn, Pb and Ag mineralization.
