Evaluation of Nutrition Education in Africa - Hoorweg, J.C.; McDowell, Ian (1979)
Nutrition education is widely accepted as an important means of improving the health of young children in developing countries. Based on research carried out in Uganda in 1971-1972, this book shows how studies of changes in knowledge and attitudes can provide unique insights into both the educational process and its success or failure. It also demonstrates that the social circumstances of the individual families play an important part in determining the effects of the teaching. It contributes to the information needed for planning nutrition programmes so as better to meet the actual needs of individual families of groups

International Perspective: The Role of Teaching English as a National Language; The Case of Nigeria - Iloka, Godwin (English Journal, 1979)
The main problem facing the Nigerian teachers is that Nigeria, like other developing countries of the world, is having her own share of problems with the use of English as a second language. This article will examine, first, the basic aspects of communication; second, the methodology used for instruction in Nigerian classrooms; third, why the children need English lessons most; fourth, the problems of not using English correctly and the choice of textbooks; finally, the problem of relating theory to practice.

The “Guinea Pig” Formboard: Its Construction and Some Learning Norms - Shakow, David (The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979)
A formboard test was presented to 51 male (age 20-45) and 47 female (age 18-36) Ss having a college level education. The test attempted to follow a definite principle of construction in the six figures which comprise it. Each S was presented with a set of randomly arranged blocks and asked to put them where they belonged as quickly as possible. Three successively timed trials were given. Results indicate no significant sex differences in mean time on any of the trials; a trial-to-trail improvement that is almost identical for males and females; and virtually no differences when reversals of the first order in succeeding trials over previous trials are considered. The author suggests that the task offers promise for further study of the qualitative nature of formboard response and merits standardization on a group through various age levels.

Education as a Factor in Mortality Decline An Examination of Nigerian Data - Caldwell, John C. (Population Studies, 1979)
The debate between those who see economic development and those who regard advances in medical technology as bearing major responsibility for mortality decline usually gives little attention to different stages of social change when economic or medical conditions are fixed. However Nigerian statistics analyzed here show that very different levels of child survivorship result from different levels of maternal education in an otherwise similar socioeconomic context and when there is equal access to the use of medical facilities. Indeed maternal education in Nigeria appears to be the single most powerful determinant of the level of child mortality. The statistics come from 2 surveys undertaken in 1973: one of 6606 women in Ibadan city and the other of 1499 women in a large area of southwest Nigeria. Proportions of children surviving are compounded into an index of child mortality to increase the frequencies in individual cells and standardize maternal age when child survivorship is correlated with a range of factors and 2 component indices are also constructed to detect change over time. It is concluded that womens education in societies like that of the Yoruba in Nigeria can produce profound changes in family structure and relationships which in turn may influence both mortality and fertility levels. Education may well play a major role in the demographic transition and this role may help to explain the close timing of mortality and fertility transitions. (Authors)

Resolutions of Moral Dilemmas by Nigerian Secondary School Pupils - Maqsud, Muhammad (Journal of Moral Education, 1979)
Abstract Abstract The study focused on investigating how Nigerian adolescents respond to Bronfenbrenner's and Kohlberg's moral dilemmas. Ninety Hausa Muslim adolescents (60 boys and 30 girls), studying in a day and two boarding secondary schools in Kano City took part in the inquiry. It was found that the subjects tended to resolve Bronfenbrenner's dilemmas in an adult‐approved direction. The results also showed that day school pupils’ moral reasoning was more advanced than that of boarding school pupils, and subjects’ socio‐economic background and sex did not relate to the ways they resolved the moral dilemmas.

The Distribution of Primary and Secondary School Places between Provinces in Papua New Guinea from 1972 to 1978 - Sheret, Michael (Australian Journal of Education, 1979)
Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients of concentration are used to measure the extent to which school places are uniformly distributed between provinces in Papua New Guinea. Enrolment and school age population data for 1972, 1975 and 1978 are used. For both primary and secondary places, the distribution has become significantly more uniform over the period studied. This is in keeping with PNG's planning objectives to spread educational opportunity more evenly throughout the country.

Machakos Project Studies: Agents affecting health of mother and child in a rural area of Kenya. XIV. Growth pattern or rural Akamba pre-school children. - Ha, Oomen; Aa, Jansen; t'Mannetje, W (PubMed, 1979)
Between June 1974 and February 1977, in one eighth sample of the Machakos Project area, weight and height were determined in all 1-60 months-olds. This resulted in 568 subjects producing averagely 9.3 monthly growth data over an average period of 22.2 months. Only subjects examined five times or over were considered. Weighing and measuring were done by home visiting fieldworkers. Growth in the first six months closely followed the Harvard Standards of weight-for-age (W/A) and height-for-age (H/A). In the course of the next six months this dropped until about 83% for W/A and 92% for H/A, to stay at these levels until the sixth year. In the group which persistently grew over 88% for W/A these values were 91.5% for W/A and 94.8% for H/A. This group is thought to represent the local standard for optimum growth. In the group which persisted at levels below 75% of W/A a distinction was made between normal slow growers and PEM cases. In both W/A was more compromitted than H/A. Children persistently or episodically under W/A 70% were considered malnourished; their incidence in the 1-5 year group was between 4.5 and 6.5%. There was no reason to put the PEM level above 70% of W/A; This should be used as a cut-off level for screening PEM cases. A diagram is presented to visualize the successive age cohorts simultaneously for W/A, H/A and W/H as regards their position to the respective Harvard Standards, indicating percentages of positive and negative deviators.

Sexual pollution in the New Guinea Highlands - Mandeville, Elizabeth G. (Sociology of Health and Illness, 1979)
Summary Like members of other societies in the New Guinea Highlands, the Kamano of the Eastern Highlands believe that a man's health can be seriously undermined by the polluting power of female sexuality and that, though not directly fatal, this power can permanently stunt the growth of a youth and so weaken an adult that he becomes vulnerable to the sorcery and arrows of an enemy. In expounding their views, men and women emphasise the impact of female sexuality on males. They say that the harmful effects are automatic and that it is rare for a woman to employ her power deliberately against a man. The example most frequently offered is that of a man becoming thin and weak after eating food given to him by a woman who is menstruating or has recently had sexual intercourse with someone else. Yet this is by no means the whole of the matter, for not only do men regard certain women as more dangerous than others, but they also believe the health of women and children can be damaged by the sexual activities of men and women. We are concerned not simply with an automatic, one‐way transmission of sexual pollution but with an area of life which carries danger of different degrees to individuals in various relationships. I shall show in this paper that, while certain aspects of female sexuality are harmful in themselves, fear of sexual pollution is most likely to be felt where a person is intimate with someone who is, or may be, hostile and alien, and that this applies to women, and even children, as well as men. I shall suggest that the variation in the degree of danger apprehended is associated with the opportunities a wife has for establishing herself as a full member of her husband's village.

Higher Education in Ghana - McCain, James A. (Journal of Black Studies, 1979)
In discussing the future of Africa, it seems appropriate from the outset to realize that scientific prediction, with any degree of accuracy over the long haul, is almost impossible. One need only to observe the changes which have taken place on that great continent within the last decade to discover that the rapidity with which changes have occurred tends to obscure futuristic analysis for the next decade. Indeed, Africa is not only a continent where change occurs, but a continent where change is occurring at such a rate that one can observe it on a daily basis. It is also important to realize that academicians are not prophets possessing crystal balls and that, oftentimes, shortterm probabilities are frequently more accurately diagnosed than long-term possibilities.

Ivoirien Student Perceptions of U.S. Africa Policy - Skurnik, W. A. E. (The Journal of Modern African Studies, 1979)
This study has two main objectives: to draw a map of the perceptions of Ivoirien students about aspects of U.S. policy towards Africa, and to discover response deviations which coincide with, and hence may be attributable to, (1) school and class attended, (2) sex, age, religion, and ethnic group, and (3) sources of information about world events. Data were gathered during 1976 through a questionnaire administered to 327 Ivoirien students, 245 of whom were at the Université d'Abidjan and 82 at the École nationale d'administration . 1 They were given a random list of 22 questions and asked to indicate their approval, opposition, or lack of familiarity. Later 18 questions were grouped into four categories:

Problems of Secondary School Students in Senegal - Vandewiele, Michel (The Journal of Psychology, 1979)
Summary The problems of 778 boys and girls in Senegal aged from 13 to 22 years were investigated with use of an open-ended questionnaire. These secondary school students mentioned in order of decreasing frequency the following problems: school problems (45.9%), political and social problems (14.0%), lack of self-confidence (12.4%), financial problems (11.3%), and vocational problems (9.4%). Family adjustment (4.0%) and sex problems (1.5%) obtained minor percentages. Students in villages were more confronted with financial, political, and social problems and less with school problems than the urban population. The average number of problems reported by boys was significantly (p = .02) higher than those reported by girls, in sharp contrast with the results of most American studies on the subject. Sex differences in the frequency of problems were found to be remarkably stable throughout age.

The relationship between rainfall and well water pollution in a West African (Gambian) villaǵe - Barrell, R. A. E.; Rowland, M. G. M. (Journal of hygiene, 1979)
Water pollution was monitored in six Gambian village wells over a period of 8 months spanning the 5-month monomodal rains and the pre- and post-rains dry periods. Faecal coliform (FC) and faecal streptococci (FS) counts were high throughout and there was a massive increase associated with the onset of the rains, maximum counts exceeding 5 x 10(5)/100 ml. This pattern was largely sustained throughout the rainy season. Some individual variations in patterns of pollution could be ascribed to well design, in particular lining of the shaft, but no well was protected from the seasonal increase in faecal pollution. The source of the increased pollution appeared to be a flushing in of faecal material of indeterminate or mixed human and animal origin, probably over considerable distances. Peaks of pollution not associated with rainfall episodes could have resulted from the practice of communal laundering in the near vicinity of the wells. Specific pathogens including Salmonella spp. were isolated only intermittently. Attention has been drawn to a problem complicating the standard method for assessing FC counts.

Oral health of Rhodesia African first year student teachers - Ritchie, James Millar (Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1979)
A basic oral health survey was carried out on a random sample of first year African student teachers attending four teachers' colleges in Rhodesia. The number examined and interviewed was 309. Methods and criteria used are those described in the second (1977) edition of the World Health Organization manual Oral health surveys - Basic methods. Prevalences of dental caries were 31.0% for the 142 male students and 59.5% for the 167 female students. The difference is statistically significant (P less than 0.001). Mean DMFTs were 0.74 for men and 2.02 for women. The prevalences of "intense gingivitis" were 52.8% for male students and 34.7% for female students. This difference also is significant (P less than 0.005). The major treatment requirements are for one-surface fillings and prophylaxis with oral hygiene instruction. Dental service utilization is low. Less than 10% of the sample had obtained dental care in the previous 12 months. The main reason for seeking care was pain. Self-assessments of oral health needs were not valid. The stated desire for fillings is greater than for extractions. A need has been demonstrated for dental health education aimed at the prevention of disease and the encouragement, use and demand for quality care services.

[Ivory Coast: television outside of school for education of rural adults, a critical review]. - Benveniste, Annie (PubMed, 1979)
The television education program in the Ivory Coast is part of a large national program of educational reform; the objective is to improve the efficiency of the education system, with the following principles: discover realistic methods of elite selection and staff training, as well as information and broadcasting techniques which allow the whole population to feel integrated and to take an active part in the efforts of the politicians. Education in the Ivory Coast has 4 main characteristics: low school attendance, insufficient profit, underqualified teachers and inadaptation of education to the socio-economical needs of the country. The 1st step of the installation of educational television was the official adoption of television in 1968. The 2nd step was the opening of the 1st television classes in 1971. Finally the 3d step was the extension of the television education program to the adults in 1973. This program became operational in the beginning of 1974-5. The objectives are to undertake an educational action which would allow all rural and urban people to understand the developmental actions and to participate to the improvement of their condition; to modernize and improve the standards of life for the rural population; to valorize agricultural work; to inform the population on the administrative and political structures of the country and on its goals; to make television more profitable. These objectives set the educational action in the context of the present policy of development, without establishing precisely its content. Its range is very wide as its main goal is to sensitize the population to the themes of national development and political orientations. The programs broadcasted concern agriculture, health, hygiene. The public consists of adults and young people, rural for the most part, and who have no contact with the school program. There is a contradiction in the program: it aims at a wide public and tries to obtain mass participation, while it rests on a centralized organization which was created by the government and is controlled by its agents in the framework of the school system. Educational technology hence becomes a tool in the hands of the State, to impose its own idea of development. The "peasant mass" observes a sort of passive resistance: it is not motivated by these programs which are not adapted to specific groups. The equipment is provided by France; the program also receives technical assistance from several international organizations. Modern technology is acquired at the cost of a reinforcement of economic and cultural dependence: television reaches the bush accompanied by American and French series and the western cultural values.

In this essay Edward Berman explores the way in which the relationship between United States foreign policy and the major American foundations has helped to shape African educational policy since 1945. Berman contends that the foundations, in particular Ford, Rockefeller, and the Carnegie Corporation, have directed their support at areas of political or economic importance to American corporate interests—to the possible detriment of the needs of the developing nations themselves.

Adult Education in Tanzania - Heisel, Marsel A. (International Social Work, 1979)
Since the Arusha Declaration in 1967, Adult Education in Tanzania has become a major instrument in national development. Programs in literacy, health care and hygiene, and in the acquisition of technical competence have been parti cularly successful because adult education has been approached as an intrinsic and meaningful part of the learner's life. The purpose of education has changed from the learning of skills to the learn ing of self-reliance and the improvement of life in both individual and national levels. For example, in the teaching of literacy, attention is focused on subjects such as health, agricultural techniques, or political responsibilities and literacy is included in response to demand as the learners become aware of its functional importance. This paper critically reviews various adult education programs in Tanzania, particularly focusing on "Literacy for Working" and radio programs with discussion groups.

Paleomagnetic results from the Narosura and Magadi volcanics of Kenya - Patel, J. P.; Raja, P. K. S. (Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1979)
Results of a paleomagnetic study carried out on the exposed volcanic rocks on the western side of the South Kenya Rift Valley are presented. Nine stratigraphic groups ranging in age from Miocene to Pleistocene were sampled. The rocks consist of basalts, trachytes, nephelinites, melanephelinites, olivine melanephelinites and ignimbrites. Paleomagnetic poles obtained for different age ranges are as follows: Period I (0.64–0.72 Ma), 116°E, 85°N (A95 = 6°); Period II (1.6–6.9 Ma), 297°E, 84°N (A95 = 4°); Period III (12.0–15.0 Ma), 34°E, 80°N (A95 = 9°). The results for Period II show large secular variations which are in disagreement with the model predictions for near-equatorial sites.

Why Impoverished Children do well in Ugandan Schools - Heyneman, Stephen P. (Comparative Education, 1979)
The influence of socioeconomic status upon the academic performance of poor children in Ugandan schools is investigated. In Uganda, socioeconomic status has little influence on school children's academic performance because the children of the wealthy are no more self-confident than are the children of the poor. The lack of influence exerted by socioeconomic status is due to the comparative recency of wide economic stratification; the close link between academic achievement, educational attainment, and later occupational success; and the universalistic prerequisite to educational advancement, the Primary Leaving Examination. Economic status is not linked with attitudes of self-concept. Therefore, although characterized by wide differences in wealth, Ugandan school children cannot be said to be marked by divisions of social class. Finally, the presence of the Primary Leaving Examination ensures that all have an equal chance for success. This exam maintains personal confidence by assuring children that, regardless of how menial their background, they will be judged fairly. Thus, it can be concluded that academic advantage is not an inevitable condition of economic privilege. 60 references.

Broken paediatric appointments at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City. - Jo, Obi (PubMed, 1979)
Appointment system was introduced to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital at the initial stage of the Hospital development. This is a new experience to the local community which is largely illiterate. The appointment breaking was low contrary to expectation. Indifference or negligence accounted for a high percentage of defaulting. The system was deemed to be good by 66.4 per cent of the defaulters interviewed only 1.2 per cent felt that it was bad. Efforts by the health visiting Sister to visit the defaulters at home and persuade them to attend the clinic reduced the number of broken appointments. The habit of breaking appointments by parents/guardians of children who showed indifference or negligence were more difficult to remedy. For a referral system to be effective in a largely illiterate community where referral system is new, knowledge of the reasons for breaking appointments in the community should be known and remedied. Promotion of personalized attention and intensive health education are essential.

Internal-External Control among South African Students — A Cross-Cultural Study - Moodley-Rajab, Devi; Ramkissoon, R. D. (South African Journal of Psychology, 1979)
To investigate the relationship between internal versus external locus of control, sex, and ethnic group membership, three groups of university students (Indians, English-speaking White South Africans and Blacks) were compared on their responses to the Rotter I-E Control Scale. The hypothesis that a belief in internal versus external control is significantly related to ethnic group membership was rejected but it was confirmed for the variable of sex.

South African university students' attitudes towards emigration and sociopolitical issues - Simon, Alan (Social Dynamics, 1979)
A mail survey undertaken in 1977 showed that a clear majority (64%) of final year students polled at the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, answered in the affirmative to a question asking them whether they would permanently settle in a country other than South Africa. Almost all the respondents in the survey were desirous of change to the socio‐political structure of this country; in particular the Apartheid, pass laws, job reservation, educational and residential policies; although students expressing attitudes favourable to emigrating seemed to be slightly more concerned in this regard. Thus it appears that South Africa may lose many of those of its citizens who, if they remained, would be most likely to contribute to peaceful change.

The prevalence of cigarette-smoking among secondary school children in Gondar City, Ethiopia. - Ahmed, Z; Abuhay, Mulunesh (PubMed, 1979)
The smoking habits of 538 school children in the city of Gondar Ethiopia were studied by means of a questionnaire sample survey. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 27.5% among boys. In contrast only 2.8% of the girls were smokers. The majority of students started smoking between the ages of 16 to 18 years. The smoking habit was statistically associated with having friends who smoked. (authors)

Syenite boulders associated with Kenyan trachyte volcanoes - Jones, William B. (Lithos, 1979)
The trachyte caldera volcanoes Kilombe and Londiani have abundant syenite boulders lying on their surfaces. Kilombe also has a syenite inclusions in post-caldera flows and tuffs. Petrographic and chemical investigations show that most of the syenites are very similar to the associated lavas. An origin by almost complete crystallization of batches of trachytic liquid in magma chambers under each volcano is proposed for these. Separation of a small amount of residual melt gives rise to a few melasyenites strongly enriched in Na, Fe and lanthanides.

Investigations on the carcinogenic burden by air pollution in man. Intratracheal instillation studies with benzo[a]pyrene in a mixture of Tris buffer and saline in Syrian golden hamsters - Ketkar, M.B.; Green, Uwe; Schneider, Peter M.; Möhr, U. (Cancer Letters, 1979)
Syrian golden hamsters received intratracheal instillations of 0.125, 0.25, 0.50 or 1.0 mg benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in a mixture of Tris buffer and physiological saline once weekly for life. Papillary polyps, squamous cell papillomas and carcinomas developed in both the larynx and trachea. In addition, bronchiogenic adenomas, adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas were induced in the lung. The highest incidence of respiratory tract tumours (83%) was seen in hamsters receiving 0.25 mg B[a]P. The results of these investigations are statistically evaluated and discussed.

Ventilatory function in normal Nigerian school children. - Bo, Osuntokun; Aa, Iyun; Eo, Sofowora; So, Adamu (PubMed, 1979)
Lung function studies were performed on 522 school children in Ibadan to determine normal values among Nigerian School children. From four schools 257 boys and 265 girls aged 7 - 18 with different socio-economic background were selected. The forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) wee estimated using the wedge bellows vitalograph. It was observed from the results that the mean FVC and FEV1, values were lower than the predicted mean values matched for age, sex, height and weight. It was further observed that the values obtained were lower than those of the caucasian children. However, it was observed that the FVC values correlate significantly with age, weight and height (P less than 0.01).

Education and Nation Building in Nigeria since the Civil War - Bray, TM; Cooper, Garth (Comparative Education, 1979)
Summary Nigeria, perhaps more than other African nations, faces the awesome task of forging a nation out of a diversity of cultures. The need was accentuated by the tragic civil war that engulfed Nigeria from 1967‐1970. In the task of reconstruction and reconciliation that is now being undertaken, education plays a major role.

Mercury pollution of Mediterranean sediments around Alexandria, Egypt - Elsayed, Mahmoud; Halim, Y.; Abdel-Kader, Hassan M.; Moeness, Mohamed H. (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1979)
Abstract Elemental mercury is associated with industrial wastes discharged through the main effluent pipe of the Chlorine-Alkali plant at El-Max area west of Alexandria. The minimal mercury value of 0.1 ppm dry weight is assumed to be the background level for uncontaminated sediments in the area. Mercury level ranged from 8.02 to 15.5 ppm in the beach sands from the polluted area beyond the plant, and from 0.14 to 1.4 ppm in the bottom sediments off Alexandria. The Chlorine-Alkali plant is obviously the major source of mercury pollution. The contribution of land drainage, agricultural and domestic wastes is insignificant.

Ethnocentrism, Authoritarianism and Conservatism among Two South African Student Samples: A Two-Year Follow-Up Study - Mynhardt, Johan C.; Plug, Cornelis; Tyson, Graham; Viljoen, Henk (South African Journal of Psychology, 1979)
Measurements of ethnocentrism (E-scale), authoritarianism (the 29 item F-scale of Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson & Sanford) and conservatism (Wilson & Patterson's C-scale) were obtained on groups of English (N = 29) and Afrikaans (N = 23) speaking students during 1975 and 1977. Significantly lower F and E scores for the Afrikaans-speaking subjects and C, F and E scores for the English-speaking subjects were found at the end of the two-year period. While the scores for Afrikaans-speaking subjects became more variable, those of English-speaking subjects became more homogeneous. Despite these changes, the Afrikaans-speaking subjects remained the more conservative, authoritarian and ethnocentric group.

At least since the beginning of this century, access to education has been the proximate determinant of class differentiation in Tanzania, and in much of Africa. Despite several initiatives to overcome this legacy of European rule, perhaps more sharply focused in Tanzania than in many other African countries, education and class situation continue to be firmly linked.

Investigating Linguistic Acceptability with Egyptian EFL Students - Tucker, G. Richard; Sarofim, Marian (TESOL Quarterly, 1979)
A number of errors which typify the spoken or written English of Egyptian EFL students were identified. A series of matched sentencessome containing a deviant feature, others not-were recorded by a native speaker of Arabic. Groups of intermediate and advanced EFL students listened to tape recordings and rated each sentence in terms of prescriptive grammaticality and social acceptability. Listeners were then presented with the subset of deviant sentences, then were asked to correct the errors and to indicate the extent to which each of the errors bothered or irritated them. Thus it was possible to examine listeners' reactions to various types of errors and to map out a heirarchy of acceptability of various deviant utterances produced by native and non-native speakers.

Perception and management of guinea worm disease among Ghanaian villagers. A framework for differential health education planning. - Ward, W. Peter; Belcher, Donald W.; Wurapa, Fred; Pappoe, Matilda (PubMed, 1979)
A survey, resulted from the immediate need to understand the health behaviour of Southern Ghanaian villagers during an epidemic of guinea worm disease. While such problems are usually studied at a time when the epidemic has abated, this study emphasized getting into the field quickly to obtain data before the epidemic passed. If behaviour models are to have value for programme planning in the developing world, they should be amenable to such quick sample approaches. The study involved a survey on attitudes, beliefs and practices related to gent. Results showed distinctive and somewhat differing perceptions of susceptibility, seriousness, curability and preventability for the two ethnic groups within a single geographic area. The analysis of the survey results permitted suggestion of various educational strategies for both of the groups. This quick survey approach must be more refined before it has wide applicability. There appears to be a significant potential for developing a simplified checklist to be used by health workers in carrying a rapid educational diagnosis of a specific health problem for a given population.

Training Conservation of Quantity (Liquids) in West African (Baoule) Children - Dasen, Pierre R.; Lavallée, Marie-Josée; Retschitzki, Jean (International Journal of Psychology, 1979)
A developmental ‘lag’ is found in the Conservation of Quantity (Liquids) in a sample of 73 rural, schooled Baoulé children (Ivory Coast, West Africa) aged 7 to 14 years. This study was designed to investigate if this ‘lag’ could be reduced or bridged through training and whether it could be attributed to differences in ‘performance’ or in ‘competence’. A sub‐sample of 28 children aged 7 to 9 years was divided into two matched groups, one being trained for Conservation of Liquids and the other for Class Inclusion (Lavallée and Dasen in press). Statistically significant training effects were observed, which generalized to other concrete operational concepts and remained stable over at least one month. Since no ‘actualization’ or very fast learning occurred, the ‘lag’ was attributed to differences in competence; the training was sufficient to bridge the developmental lag.

Isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis from different areas of conjunctiva in relation to intensity of hyperendemic trachoma in school children in Southern Tunisia. - Darougar, S; Jones, Barrie R.; Daghfous, T.; Hejazi, Reza (British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1979)
The simplified one-passage technique of culture in irradiated McCoy cells, in conjunction with certain other developments in technique, was used to isolate Chlamydia trachomatis from specimens collected from 78 children with trachoma in Douz, Southern Tunisia. The results show that C. trachomatis is not confined to the upper tarsal area of the conjunctiva in hyperendemic trachoma. The higher isolation rate and corresponding increase in the number of inclusions obtained from swabbings of the upper fornix and lower lid in addition to the conventional collection from the upper tarsus show the superiority of collecting specimens for culture from the whole conjunctiva. Specimens could be collected from the whole conjunctiva by using 1 swab for each eye and pooled for subsequent inoculation, so that the laboratory incurred no additional work. A close correlation was observed between isolation rate, together with the number of inclusions, obtained in cell culture, and intensity of inflammatory disease in hyperendemic trachoma. The sensitivity and practicability of this cultural test should provide a valuable laboratory index for use in epidemiological and therapeutic studies of trachoma.

The Role of Ethnicity in Nigerian Education - Aguolu, C. C. (Journal of Negro Education, 1979)
Ethnicity and tribalism have frequently been used interchangeably, although the former has tended to acquire a neutral connotation with a scholarly flavor and the latter a pejorative meaning as a populist designation, especially when exploited by African politicians in political campaigns. All African nations are artificial polities fashioned by the colonial powers for their own administrative conveniences; and they are all marked by a high degree of ethnic divergence. Each country has a multiplicity of ethnic groups with different cultural histories, languages, religions, and value systems. There are no distinct class demarcations in the Western sense such as the upper, middle, and lower. The emergence of the middle class is only a very recent phenomenon. As pointed out by Smythe,1 in Nigeria class leveling is not the traditional form of social stratification. Rather, age, title, and lineage are the historical determinants of stratification; and individual achievement-especially in the Eastern Sector-is more relevant to a man's social and political status in the South than it is in the North. Wallerstein2 contends that ethnicity is both functional and dysfunctional. In a traditional rural setting, an individual is first a member of his or her family, then of a tribe; tribal and family loyalties are supportive of each other to some extent. Detribalization, or shifts in these loyalties, resulted from the colonial rule and the consequent process of urbanization. The factors responsible for urban migration include the desire to find better and more rewarding jobs; to obtain better education, since educational institutions tend to concentrate in cities; to escape from the tyranny of excessive family responsibilities; and to seek political power. Wallerstein further maintains that ethnic groups can be defined

The attitudes of University of Zambia students toward marriage. - Agustee, C; Rb, Chipoma; Chungu, J; Mwansa, W (1979)
This paper discusses attitudes towards marriage among university students in Zambia based on the authors hypothesis that the present day generation is not very keen on marriage and marriages today tend to be more material oriented. Variables examined are sex educational standard and social background among students surveyed. Factors contributing to a decline in traditional marriages include weakened parental authority leading to non-traditional marriage arrangements and a decrease in traditional marriage rituals regarded by modern youth as cumbersome and unnecessary. Trial marriages have become more common resulting in unplanned early pregnancies. Divorce rates for 1974 1975 and 1976 were 15407; 18390; and 20528; respectively. Data were collected by questionnaires distributed to 134 students (of which 88 men and 26 women responded) during the year 1978-1979. Of these 95.6% favored marriage and 4.4% were not interested in marriage disproving the hypothesis that students have an unfavorable attitude toward marriage. Reasons for getting married were largely for companionship and/or love; no respondent indicated the need for material wealth as a reason to marry.

TRAINING FOR RELEVANCE IN AGRICULTURE: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE SUB-DEGREE TRAINING PROGRAMME IN THE FORMER WESTERN STATE OF NIGERIA. - Akinbode, I. Adepetu; Ladipo, P. A. (Ife Journal of Agriculture, 1979)
Using Project Performance Budgeting System (PPBS) as the framework within which the agricultural change agents are operating, the study examined the adequacy of practical experience acquired by the graduates of the three schools of agriculture included in the study. It also examined the modification that would be required in the schools curricula to meet the need of project-oriented agricultural services. The data for the study were gathered from  the instructors in three schools (Ibadan and Akure Schools of Agriculture and Ibadan School of Animal Health) as well as from the administrators of agricultural programmes and field level extension workers in the former Western State of Nigeria. Practical training was found to be inadequate due to lack of equipment funds, time and experience on the part of the trainers. This in addition to the project-orientation of agricultural services (the situation in which the graduates of the schools are expected to function) call for some degree of specialization in training if the change agents are to perform effectively. Recommendations are made for the introduction of broad specialization. Specific suggestions are also made on how positive attitude towards agriculture could be inculcated into members of the public in general and into agricultural change agents- in training in particular.

Selection for university education in Egypt : practice, philosophy and perspective - Al-Din, Nadia Yussef Gamal (1979)
On 12 May 1979, the Cairo newspaper, Al-Ahram, announced that 132,000 successful General Secondary Certificate students would he likely to he accepted by the universities and institutes for the academic year 1979/80, compared with 112,000 accepted in 1978/79. The universities alone will therefore offer places to 75,000 compared with 70,000 in the previous year. This means that the problem which attracted this researcher’s attention in 1973/74 is still in existence. Moreover, as the number of students is increasing year by year, the pressure upon the universities is exacerbated. The questions asked were, firstly, why all these thousands of young Egyptians who hold the General Secondary Certificate desire university education and, secondly, why the major response of the Government was and still is expansion and an ever-increasing intake of students in the universities. Is expansion within the university education sector alone, instead of a wide diversity in post-secondary education, the appropriate response to such strong demands? The large number of students might result in vigorous competition to gain places in their chosen faculties. How can such places be offered to each individual, and furthermore, what criteria should the universities employ in their choice of candidates and to what extent can the Co-ordination Office, which is the executive agent responsible for selection or distribution of students, succeed in ensuring equality of opportunity as well as satisfying the choice of faculty and university made by each student? Selection for universities cannot be separated from the purposes of university education itself. The motivation of the consumers, i.e. the students themselves, in coming to university, is also very important. How far does students' motivation reflect the meaning of university education to the general public in the context of the circumstances of contemporary Egyptian society? To cover this wide area, this research consists of seven chapters together with an introduction and a conclusion. The main concern of this research is the selection system or the admission policy to universities in Egypt. A questionnaire was designed to explore the students' purposes in coming to university and the relation between their initial choice of faculty and the place which they eventually occupied. Their views about the Co-ordination Office's system were also explored. In addition, this questionnaire aimed to indicate what equality of educational opportunity means in practice in the context of Egyptian society. The fieldwork, which was carried out in two of Egypt's universities, was dependent on student samples from 19 faculties. There follows a discussion of the stated purposes of university education in Egypt as set out in official documents. The final chapter outlines a new policy post-secondary education in Egypt and a proposal for a new system for selection.

The Role of African Students in Technology Transfer - Aniebona, Ephraim Nkwute (Issue, 1979)
The term, “technology,” as used here, refers basically to: (1) the science or art of devising tools and instruments and how to use them; (2) the development of new materials and substances and their application; (3) the development of machines to supplement or replace human effort, where desirable and feasible; (4) the development of energy and power resources for running the machines; and (5) the development of efficient methods of doing work—that is, using tools, machines, and instruments. From an observation of human efforts throughout the world, it is clear that every human society is concerned with technology, for it is a proven means by which man has extended his power beyond his physical capacity and gained some control over his environment. Although technology exists in every society, it is the amount and quality of the technology that separates nations today on a scale of economic development. Whilst the developing, technologically backward countries of Africa constantly face the basic human needs of food, shelter, and clothing, the developed nations consume and enjoy a disproportionate amount of the world’s resources and wealth by reason of their technological advancement.

Confrontation Politics and Crisis Management: Nigerian University Students and Public Policy—a Social Commentary - Anise, Ladun (Issue, 1979)
A social scientist once described Nigerian political behavior and culture in terms of a continual ability to move dangerously closest to the edge of disaster before pulling back just in time to avoid falling into the deep. Nigerians in high and low places have a passion for insisting on the absolute rightness of their positions and claims sometimes with little regard to the consequences for others as well as for themselves. Sometimes groups in the nation act as if they will rather be dead right than heed the political necessity of mutual accommodation and prudent compromise. The Daily Times Opinion of April 29, recalls Thomas Hobbes, the English philosopher (1588-1679) when it declared that “Nigerians are brutish and nasty. They are contentious and cantankerous. They are irreverent. And they are ungovernable. . . . [They] are an intensely political people, the more so today, when the promise of a return to civilian government has understandably led to the flexing of muscles by all manner of interest groups.” This is national high-wire politics at its best! But it is also dangerous politics at its worst. It reflects an ingrained political attitude about which more should be learned.

The Question of Nationalism and Education in Libya under Italian Rule - Appleton, Leonard (Libyan Studies, 1979)
Over thirty years of Italian rule in Libya (1911–1942), while leaving a considerable infrastructure of roads, schools and other public buildings, provided only a poor legacy in terms of skilled and educated Libyan manpower. This is attested by the fact that in 1951, there were only five graduates of Italian universities and perhaps ten from the Islamic University of Al-Azhar in Cairo. Moreover, there were no Arab directors of elementary schools or persons qualified for the non-Islamic professions or trained as agricultural experts. On the other hand, apologists of Italian rule emphasise that by 1942 Italy had made an important contribution towards solving some of Libya's most chronic problems. Although official statistics must be treated with caution, it is likely that by 1939 around 9676 pupils were enrolled in the halo-Arab schools, even if only 50% attended regularly. A further 147 students were said to be attending the School of Islamic Studies or al-Madrasah al-Islamiyya al-ùlyá at Tripoli which trained Islamic lawyers, school teachers and minor officials. 22 Moslem girls were also receiving training as nurses at the school of Princess Maria Pia originally set up in January 1936. The object of this paper, however, is not to narrate the achievements and defects of Italian rule in Libya, but to ask, what possible problems in the political, as opposed to the economic or other related fields, might have contributed to such a state of imbalance. Was it, for instance, some kind of “apartheid” policy on the part of the colonial regime that prevented Libyans from attending the excellent system of Italian secondary schools and so going on, like their Italian contemporaries, to become skilled artisans, technicians, engineers, doctors or administrators? Or was it because the mass of the Libyan population were so basically opposed to the Italian regime that they regarded attendance at the schools, whether elementary or secondary, as an act of collaboration with the hated oppressor? These are just two of the areas that would have to be explored by the historian before any explanation could be put forward of what can be termed the “central dilemma” of educational development in Libya under Italian rule.

Conflicting Electrophysiological and Anatomical Data from Drug-Impaired Guinea Pig Cochleas - Aran, Jean‐Marie; Cazals, Yves; Erre, Jean‐Paul; Guilhaume, A (Acta oto-laryngologica, 1979)
In guinea pigs that had been treated with very large doses of the aminoglycoside amikacin (14×450 mg/kg/day, i.m.) clear, short-latency responses to various click stimuli could be recorded at the round window. When the same cochleas were examined histologically, no outer or inner hair cells could be found along the entire length of the basilar membrane, save for a very few outer hair cells remaining at the apex. The response patterns resembled that of the compound action potential, and various characteristics suggest that they were of neural origin. Vestibular function, investigated by electronystagmography during rotation, appeared normal, as did most of the saccular and utricular hair cells. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a significant number of cochlear nerve fibres still innervating the remnants of Corti's organ. In other cochleas with similarly extensive destruction induced by another aminoglycoside (sisomycin, 14×125 mg/kg/day, 15 days as well as 3 months post-Rx), no responses could be recorded from the round window. Cochleas that were less affected, with the upper turns preserved, gave only small, long-latency responses. These preliminary observations are confirmed by further experiments now in progress. They suggest that unless a considerable number of inner hair cells remained undetected in the lower basal turn, a possibility that appears highly unlikely, there was either a direct mechanical excitation of cochlear nerve fibres, or an acoustical stimulation of vestibular sense organs.

Discourse acts and clause process options : an investigation into the spoken English used by teachers and pupils during selected lessons in some secondary school classrooms in urban areas of Nigeria - Durojaiye, S. M. (1979)
The research reported in this thesis has as its setting the secondary school classroom in Nigeria, where English is used as further tongue medium of instruction. In order to investigate the use of English as medium across the curriculum, the spoken language of teachers and pupils during forty lessons, ten from each of four subject areas, was analysed. The method of analysis used focuses on the discourse acts and the grammatical rank clause. The occurrences of discourse acts and choices from process options within the clause are identified and analysed, as are interactions between the two ranks, Features within lessons which appear to influence these occurrences and interactions are also identified and discussed. The findings of the investigation indicate that the teachers in the present sample, on the whole, tend to use a wide range of both discourse acts and clause process options. The pupils, on the other hand, tend to use a more limited range on 80th measures. With regard to the interaction between discourse acts and the clause process options expressed within them, the findings suggest that patterns of choice from the clause process options within certain discourse acts reflect the acts' discourse function. Some apparently subject-linked features are identified in the patterns of choice from the clause process options. The predominance of minor clauses in pupils' spoken English is seen as a cause for concern in the further tongue English setting. Teaching devices which apparently affect the amount of practice pupils are given in using a wider range of discourse acts and clause process options are identified. The implications of the findings for the training of teachers in the use of spoken English across the curriculum are discussed, as are the limitations of this study and its implications for future research.

The Demand for Pre-School Care: an Aspect of the Problems of the Nigerian Working Mother - Fadayomi, Theophilus O. (International Social Work, 1979)
One of the changes brought about by the increasing employment of women outside the home is the demand for both custodial and developmental care for their pre-school age children 1 . The demand situation for extra-maternal child care in Nigeria seems to be aggravated by the gradual erosion of the traditional resources for extramaternal childcare such as the community of friends and relations, hired nursemaids and servants, and the inadequate provision of extrafamilial institutions such as nurseries and daycare centres. Rather than quantify the demand for extramaternal care for children, this study assesses the childcare arrangements of working mothers and inquires into the existing resources for meeting this demand both within and outside the household. It is concluded that demand for extramaternal childcare of both custodial and developmental nature is not fulfilled by existing resources. Therefore, it is being suggested that an inventory of existing pre-school institutions such as nurseries and daycare centres, programmes for the improvement and expansion of these facilities would facilitate the participation of women in the labour force and their effective contribution to social and economic development.

A gravity link between the domally uplifted Cainozoic volcanic centres of North Africa and its similarity to the East African Rift System anomaly - Fairhead, J.D. (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1979)
Attention is drawn to the existence of a negative gravity lineament linking the domally uplifted Cainozoic volcanic centres of North and West Africa to the negative Bouguer anomaly associated with the East African Rift System. The gravity lineament is shown to have similar dimensions to the Rift System anomaly and is interpreted as resulting from attenuation of the continental lithosphere. As such the lineament may represent an earlier stage than the East African Rift System in the processes that could eventually lead to continental disruption.

Attitudes of Ugandan medical students toward ‘straight’ and ‘modified’ ECT - Farrant, Wendy; Cox, John; Farhoumand, N. (Medical education (Oxford. Print), 1979)
In third world countries, limited resources of anaesthetists and resuscitation facilities mean that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is usually given ‘straight’(i.e. without anaesthetic and muscle relaxant). This study compared the attitudes of Ugandan medical students towards ECT given straight and ECT administered with muscle relaxant and general anaesthesia (i.e.‘modified’ ECT). Results confirmed the clinical impression that students regarded straight ECT as an inhumane method of treatment. However, whilst this was a major factor influencing students’ preference for modified ECT as a treatment for themselves or for a close friend, it was relatively unimportant in determining their choice of ECT technique for a patient. Convenience of administration was the main criterion applied by students when deciding whether they would prefer to administer straight or modified ECT to a patient. Implications for medical education and the development of professional attitudes are discussed.

Education for the New ‘Zimbabwe’ - Hendrikz, Elizabeth (Oxford Review of Education, 1979)
The troubled country hitherto known as Southern Rhodesia, or just Rhodesia, is expected shortly to change not only its name (in future possibly calling itself 'Zimbabwe'), but also its constitutional, political and social structure. Of its approximately seven million inhabitants all but about one-quarter of a million are Black African; the minority groups are principally of White or European stock, with a relatively small number of Asians and Coloureds (i.e. people of mixed-race parentage) making up the balance. The major ethnic groups have until now been kept apart to a considerable extent by both legal and social processes, a separation which has extended, with small exceptions, to the sphere of education. The reasons for this separation, although interesting and important, are not directly relevant to this paper, in which it is intended to focus on some problems of education provision which the new governors of Zimbabwe will have to face at a very early stage. Education is, of course, only one of many problems which will have to be faced and solved; neither can it be solved in isolation from the rest. On the other hand, it is not an exaggeration to say that the success, by which is not meant merely the political survival of whichever Government comes into power but the stability and development which it achieves for the whole country and its peoples, will depend to a significant extent on the way in which the massive problems of educational provision are handled. The educational provision which it makes will have to fulfil a number of different but overlapping requirements, the main ones being first, to supply the skilled manpower needs of an economy which is industrialised to a fairly significant level, in which is included the primary production of the farming and mining industries. Industrialised Zimbabwe is potentially the major source of money for further, longer-term development. Secondly, but not necessarily less importantly, it will have to fulfil the educational aspirations of the millions of children and adults whose opportunities have, for whatever reason, been limited or non-existent. As everywhere else, schooling is seen, especially by parents, as the way to a better life for their children. Whether it in fact, in a situation of universal education, means a better chance to succeed in a competitive society, is beside the point; without the opportunity for education, the chances of a better life are lessened. So there will be expectation by every parent and by millions of young adults, of educational opportunities for all, provided as a matter of priority by the new government. Thirdly, there is the ethical consideration, in addition to the ones of economic need and political expediency, that no individual should be denied access to the best that the state and the community can offer. Before one can begin to examine ways in which the government of Zimbabwe could tackle the problems of educational provision, it is necessary to examine the existing situation, which will for the purpose of this paper have to be over-simplified, dealing mainly with facts and figures and ignoring historical and motivational aspects, interesting and important as they are in themselves.
