A study of technical teacher training in the Sudan and in England and Wales - Salih, Abuelgasim A. (1984)
The study starts by providing a brief historical background on the development of education in Sudan and examines in particular the development of technical education. It focusses attention upon the provision of training for teachers of technical subjects in technical high secondary schools. In so doing the study highlights some of the current problems in the training of such teachers in Sudan. In looking for solutions to some of these problems the study examines, in Chapter 4, the provision of teacher training for the Further Education sector in England and Wales, together with the reports of various committees on the supply and training of technical teachers. The study concentrates, in Chapter 5, on the study of initial teacher training courses provided for both intending and serving technical teachers by five pioneer centres in England and Wales. These are Bolton Institute of Higher Education, Huddersfield Polytechnic, Garnett College (Technical), Wolverhampton Polytechnic and the course provided jointly by the University College Cardiff and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology at the Department of Education of University College Cardiff. The study provides, in Chapters 6 and 7, an analytical view of initial technical teacher 'training' courses at these institutions, and makes a comparative analysis of initial teacher training courses in the Sudan and in England and Wales. Finally, the study suggests ways of fostering recruitment and ensuring well trained and highly motivated teachers, outlines the financial implications and the role of the Ministry of Education, and examines in detail a proposed new structure and curriculum for the initial training of technical teachers in Sudan.

Vocational Training for South Africa - Smith, J. Maclean (South African Family Practice, 1984)
Through the term 'family practice' does not embrace all that I will be discussing I believe it is the most appropriate and meaningful term. The family is the basic unit of over 4 000 societies in this world and while 'every society creates its own casualties' the family is potentially the most powerful element in any society, passing stable value systems from one generation to the next and therefore its care is of paramount importance. It should be added that in some under-doctored areas the family practitioner may not be a doctor.

User charges for education: The ability and willingness to pay in Malawi - Tan, Jee‐Peng (1984)
Investment in education is generally recognized as essential for a country's long term economic and social development. However, present macroeconomic conditions have limited allocation of public resources for education. Policymakers are seeking alternative sources of finance, one of which is the tapping of private household resources via user charges. This paper addresses two main issues involved in mobilizing resources by this method: (i) the ability and willingness of families to pay; and (ii) the possible expansion of enrollment that might be accomplished, given public budget constraints. The data on Malawi suggest the following: (i) a moderate fee increase is unlikely to precipitate a large dropout rate among students; (ii) excess demand will more than compensate for those students who do drop out due to the fee increase; and (iii) since fee increases will have a stronger impact on lower income families, they should be linked with equity measures such as scholarships.

This article describes and evaluates a nonformal education rural development project which evolved through a collaborative arrangement between a private voluntary organization in Ghana and a North American university. After extensive discussions a relationship developed between the University of Massachusetts' Center for International Education and Ghana's Peoples' Educational Association, a national adult education organization with links to the University of Ghana's Institute of Adult Education. The two organizations agreed to cooperate in the development and evaluation of several village facilitator models in which a much wider cross-section of the community would participate in a variety of development projects and educational activities. The models were to emphasize a shift from a leader-dominated perspective to more group participation with villagers taking responsibility for their actions, both in meetings and in development projects.

English language and the mother-tongue dilemma in Nigeria: A critical assessment of the new national policy on education - Urevbu, Andrew O. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1984)
The new National Policy on Education in Nigeria published in 1977 (and revised in 1981) gave a general framework for a reformed curriculum including significant structures in the Nigerian educational system. In the policy document there is the statement of the Government's intentions ‘that any existing contradictions, ambiguities and lack of uniformity in educational practices in the different parts of the Federation should be removed to ensure an even and orderly development of the country’. There is also a pronounced stress on the promotion of national unity as an essential objective of Nigerian education. The ‘Government considers it to be in the interest of national unity that each child should be encouraged to learn one of the three major languages other than his own mother-tongue. In this connection, the Government considers the three major lanugages in Nigeria to be Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba.’ The question is how near are we in achieving this ideal? What are some of the contradictions and ambiguities in this language policy? How much is the National Policy on Education contributing towards desirable uniformity and national unity? This paper analyzes the dilemma created by the English language and the mother-tongue aspect of the National Policy on Education. The language aspect is discussed here because the choice of language affects selection, integration and choice of curriculum content throughout the primary level and is of dominant importance in planning for the first school years. Language policies for education are highly charged with political issues and seldom if ever decided on educational grounds alone. When they are made, they are almost invariably subject to mistrust and misunderstanding by some sections of the community. It is virtually impossible to please everyone. This paper concludes that no solution can be ideal in a complex language situation like Nigeria. It is probable that there must be compromise between the national desire to promote the use of the mother-tongue in education and the generally accepted necessity to learn English at some stage.

Vocational education in Nigeria: A preliminary appraisal - Urevbu, Andrew O. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1984)
This paper examines the vocational education aspects of the new National Policy on Education (NPE) in Nigeria. The NPE advocates a 6+3+3+4 system which means that the educational system would be divided into six years of primary school, three years in a junior secondary school, three years in either a senior secondary school, a technical or teacher training college and four years in a university. The junior secondary school will be terminal for those who do not have the aptitude for the more academic subjects of senior secondary school and the emphasis at this stage would be both pre-vocational and academic. While it is generally thought that the vocational provision outline in the NPE would help to lay the foundation for a modern technological society, it is clearly an over-simplistic appraisal of the Nigerian socio-economic background. First, the selection for the trainees in vocational education is not usually from an open population in terms of relevant characteristics but from a closed population, those who had already proved to be of lower than average ability, by failing to gain entry to the ‘academic’ senior secondary school. The social implication of such a situation is that trainees in vocational education are caught up in an ‘ecological niche’ in society as fishermen, miners and other direct producers. Secondly, when the elite, the top federal government officials, advocate vocational expansion, it is often for other peoples' children rather than their own. Furthermore, as could be seen from the results of the Udoji report set by the government to harmonize civil service salaries, those who had academic qualifications from schooling rather than vocational qualifications were more favoured. Thus this paper calls for a rethink of the NPE, bearing in mind the realities of the Nigerian educational system and the job market.

A case-control study of stillbirths at a teaching hospital in Zambia, 1979-80: serological investigations for selected infectious agents. - Watts, Theresa; Larsen, Sandra A.; Brown, Stuart T. (PubMed, 1984)
Sera were obtained from 266 mothers of singleton stillborn babies (cases) and 266 mothers of live-born babies (controls), matched for parity, who delivered at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, between October 1979 and April 1980. Tests were performed on 262 samples from cases and 261 from controls. The microhaemagglutination assay for Treponema pallidum (MHA-TP) was reactive in 54% of cases and 29% of controls; the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) 18-mm circle card test was reactive at a dilution of 1:16 or greater in 29% of cases and in 3.5% of controls. Both these differences are highly significant.Sera from cases and controls were further examined for evidence of cytomegalovirus, human (alpha) herpesvirus, hepatitis B virus, toxoplasma, and plasmodium infections. The only difference between sera from cases and controls was that cytomegalovirus antibody titres >/= 1:1024 occurred more often among cases. There was no relationship between antibody titre and birth weight.The results of this study emphasize the importance of screening pregnant women for syphilis. Treatment of those found to be infected should help prevent stillbirths due to syphilis.

Properties, weathering and classification of some soils formed in peralkaline volcanic ash in Kenya - Wielemaker, W.G.; Wakatsuki, Toshiyuki (Geoderma, 1984)
Physical, chemical and mineralogical properties were determined for six profiles in and west of the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. Data include morphology, information on gross composition of horizons (organic carbon, cation exchange capacities, extractable cations, etc.), and detailed characterization of the clay fractions by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and additional techniques. The three least weathered profiles (Nos. 1–3 of Table I) have morphologies typical of Andepts but lack certain other characteristics common to such soils. Their clay fractions were largely amorphous to X-rays and consisted mainly of poorly ordered siliceous Feoxides with virtually no allophane. All of the clays contained halloysite. The peralkaline nature of the ash parent-material seems responsible for the clay mineralogy of the soils which differs from that generally found in Andepts. The high proportions of iron in the amorphous materials depart from the composition widely reported for such soils. One distinctive feature was the presence of pantelleritic trachyte, found in ash from a number of sites in addition to those of the profiles. How the six profiles may best be classified is an open question. None of the profiles qualifies as Andept. Nor would they be included in the proposed order of Andisols as presently defined. Modifications of the definition of Andisols so as to include some of these soils would seem desirable.

Design and construction at storm water drains in the smallholder farming district of Machakos, Kenya - Zöbich, Michael A. (Der Tropenlandwirt - Journal of Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics, 1984)
In Kenya soil conservation has, since long, gained high recognition. To protect arable land from external surface runoff storm water drains are frequently constructed. The design of the drains is done directly in the field by agricultural extension workers in cooperation with the farmers. Design methods used are Cook's method of surface runoff estimation and Durbach's method of channel design. A simple line level is used to lay out the drains in the field. The excavations are done by self-help groups which are popular in Machakos. A survey of storm water drains showed that volumes of excavations per ha protected arable land varied significantly. This was found to be due to sizes of the catchments, topography, and distance of the drained areas to suitable outlets. --- Entwurf und Anlage von Erosionsschutzgraben im kleinbauerlich strukturierten Machakos Distrikt von Kenia Dem Erosionsschutz wird in Kenia seit langem erhebliche Beachtung zuteil. Zum Schutze der Ackerflachen vor Oberflachenabflus von Fremdflachen werden in zunehmendem Mase Erosionsschutzgraben angelegt. Planung und Entwurf der Graben werden von den Agrarberatern in Zusammenarbeit mit den Bauern direkt im Felde vorgenommen. Dazu werden die in Kenia adoptierten Verfahren von COOK (Vorausschatzung des Oberflachenabflusses) und DURBACH (Querschnittsbemessung der Graben) angewendet. Mit einer einfachen Schnur-Waage wird der Verlauf der Graben dann im Gelande abgesteckt. Unter Ausnutzung des in Machakos traditionellen Selbsthilfesystems werden die Erdarbeiten aus kommunalem Interesse in freiwilliger Gemeinschaftsarbeit von den Bauern durchgefuhrt. Felderhebungen ergaben, das der Grabenaushub pro ha geschutzter Ackerflache erheblich variiert. Dies hangt mit der Grose des jeweiligen Einzugsgebietes, den topographischen Gegebenheiten und der Entfernung des entwasserten Gebietes zu einem geeigneten Vorfluter zusammen.

Education and training of fisheries personnel for Asian, African and Latin American countries in Poland - Świniarski, Józef (Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1983)
The effectiveness of fishery development depends on the ability to apply the latest technological achievements. In this situation, the development of fisheries in individual countries must take into account, regardless of the condition of fish resources and their consumption traditions, also the technical potential and professional training of fishermen. It is related to the system and organization of education and research. The study presents the principles of the Polish fisheries education system educating specialists at the professional level, in technical schools, at maritime colleges and universities, with the specification of fields and specializations of education, as well as titles and qualifications obtained after graduation. The number of foreign specialists educated in various types of schools in Poland is also given, along with examples of positions currently held by some graduates in scientific and economic institutions of their countries and international organizations. Forms of advice and assistance in the organization of fishing education in various countries by Poland are presented. The study also presents a proposal for further training of fishing staff in Poland. Taking into account the conditions of a given country, its needs and the level of education, various forms of training were presented directly in the countries concerned. Regardless of the typical training activities, the achievements and offers of technical services that Poland can perform in the field of training, organization of education, construction of schools and research laboratories and conducting scientific research were also presented.

Teaching environmental lessons in Kenya through a children's magazine. - Brace, J. (PubMed, 1983)
This article reports on a project in Kenya in which environmental lessons are taught through a children's magazine. The Mazingira Institute, a research institute in Nairobi, collaborates with the editor of Rainbow, an English-language weekly newspaper for children, in producing 1 issue each year devoted to a topic of developmental and environmental concern. Rainbow has a regular circulation of 17,000/week (75% in the smaller towns and rural areas) and an estimated readership of 150,000. The press run of the special environmental issue is increased to provide 3-5 free copies to each of the 10,000 primary schools in Kenya. Special topics have included water, renewable energy, trees for food, and nursery development of tree seeds. The topic is explored through an editorial, theme article, comic strip, and letters. In addition, each special issue contains a contest centered around 12 questions which provide valuable information about children's perceptions and understanding of the theme. Contest winners and their headmasters are brought to Nairobi, where headmasters meet with Institute staff to provide feedback on the use they make of the newspaper as a teaching tool. The budget for the project is under US$30,000. The last 2 issues were funded by the Canadian High Commissioner. The Mazingira Institute has proposed enlarging this project to include 8 English-speaking countries in Eastern and Southern Africa.

However there is a need to conduct research surveys to draw a line of demarkation where a public health hazard could be considered as well a problem of environmental pollution. In the developed countries some of these diseases have been successfully dealth with by the rigourous enforcement of law pertaining to hygiene, sanitation, quarantine, compulsory vaccination etc. In the developing countries by contrast this has so far not been possible due to the scarcity of funds for control programme and of inadequacy of law enforcement and monitoring agencies.

The hotnot syndrome: Myth‐making in South African school textbooks - Smith, Andrew B. (Social Dynamics, 1983)
Abstract Cultural myths are important for the maintenance of political control in a hierarchial multi‐ethnic society. History is often manipulated by the ruling elite at the expense of other segments of the society. South Africa is no exception. The maintenance of these myths is supported by the educational system from a very young age. Disenfranchised people are usually at the bottom of the social ladder and have so little input into the myth‐making process that they reject their aboriginal heritage. The study offered here of South African history textbooks written from the beginning of the First World War to the 1980's shows that they are a reflection of the controlling elite's perception of history which is not consistent with current archaeological and anthropological studies by reputable scholars. The exposure of these myths now permits an acceptance by the descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Cape of their indigenous cultural heritage.

Epidemiology of epilepsy among school populations in Khartoum Province, Sudan. - Yo, Younis (PubMed, 1983)
This paper describes selected findings of a survey of epilepsy among the entire school population in Khartoum Province, Sudan. An operational clinical definition to identify pupils with major seizure attacks was used. Cases were detected in schools, hospitals and doctors' private clinics. One hundred and eighty-eight epileptic children were identified. Nine were excluded because of incomplete information. A prevalence rate of epilepsy of 0.9 per 1000 was estimated. This was found to be lower than other rates for European and American school children, reported in the literature. Possible reasons for this were discussed. Four-fifths of the epileptic pupils were on anticonvulsants, but half of these seemed not to be complying with the treatment. Many were having traditional treatment as well. More than a quarter of primary school teachers who were asked about their attitude towards epileptic pupils showed rejection to these children.

Ultrastructural and Morphometric Investigations on the Effects of Training and Administration of Anabolic Steroids on the Myocardium of Guinea Pigs - Appell, H.-J.; Heller-Umpfenbach, B.; Feraudi, M.; Weicker, H. (International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1983)
The effects on the myocardium of guinea pigs of a training program, of the administration of anabolic steroids (Dianabol), and of both combined were investigated at the ultrastructural level. Quantitative electron microscopy showed an enlargement of the sarcoplasmic space in all experimental groups and a disbalance of the mitochondrial/myofibrillar ratio in favor of the mitochondria, which was most pronounced after administration of anabolic steroids. The augmentation of the mitochondrial volume was assumed to occur by fusion, hypertrophy, and development of new mitochondria. When the administration of anabolic steroids and training were combined, some myocardial cells were pathologically altered; destructed mitochondria and aberrant myofibrils were found. Focally dehiscent intercalated discs and necrotic cells were also observed. It is suggested from these findings that the administration of anabolic steroids in competitive sports may lead to pathological alterations in the myocardium.

The Status of Teacher Education in Nigeria: A Challenge for Improvement - Olaitan, Samson O. (Improving college and university teaching, 1983)
The fundamental purpose of teacher education is not only to give teachers skills which will improve t eir results. It is also to inculcate the right kind of attitudes relevant to the ever-expanding horizon of knowledge, and personal attitudes such as self-discipline, under standing, sympathy, and a pride in the profession. A carefully planned and executed teacher preparation pro gram will result in a greater grasp of teaching tech niques, more professional self-assurance, and improved quality of work by the teachers. Teacher education in Nigeria has enjoyed some changes since independence (1960), but these changes have not yet established many significant differences in the art of teaching and learning compared to a decade ago. The most significant changes made are in the following directions:

Volcanic rocks and surfaces as indicators of landform age: the astrolabe agglomerate, Papua New Guinea - Pain, C. F. (Australian Geographer, 1983)
Summary The Astrolabe Agglomerate, a unit of volcanic rocks consisting mainly of pyroclastics with a few lavas at the top, is used to estimate the former extent of a landsurface of low relief in eastern P.N.G. The pyroclastics are of flow origin, but consist mainly of large rounded and subrounded clasts with only small amounts of fine matrix. Basalt from one of the lava flows overlying the agglomerate has a K/Ar age of 5.7 million years. Since the Astrolabe Agglomerate was deposited it has been slightly warped and deeply dissected. Erosion on agglomerate surfaces has been at a minimum rate of 10 mm/1000 years, while scarp retreat has taken place at about 1000 mm/1000 years. The Sogeri Plateau is the largest remnant of a once much larger erosion surface that may have extended over much of the Owen Stanley Ranges.

Attitudes of West African Students toward Love and Marriage - D'Hondt, Walter; Vandewiele, Michel (Psychological Reports, 1983)
While attitudes about love and marriage of youth in most Western countries have been studied, the Senegalese youths' attitudes represent the specific interests of a society in which traditional social and religious values of adolescents in school are challenged as they are exposed to new values and attitudes. Despite a growing preference for romantic love and a desire for greater self-assertion in selection of a mate, the youths' attitudes toward love and marriage remain generally conservative.

The Geography of Education in Syria in 1882. With a Translation of “Education in Syria” by Shahin Makarius, 1883. - Diab, Henry; Wåhlin, Lars (Geografiska annaler. Series B, Human Geography (Print), 1983)
After a long period of stagnation, Syria during the nineteenth century arose to a cultural and social renaissance. One important field of development was education. An article published in Beirut in 1883 sheds important light on this. External impulses were important, but much of the development effort was indigenous. There were significant differences in the level of education between towns and the countryside, between regions, and between religious sects. Mount Lebanon is traditionally regarded as having been an advanced region with regard to i.a. education. This article shows that Lebanon's leadership was perhaps not so clear as is sometimes claimed. http://www.jstor.org/pss/490939

Pleistocene volcanic rocks from the Fly-Highlands province of western Papua New Guinea: A note on new Sr and Nd isotopic data and their petrogenetic implications - Hamilton, P. J.; Johnson, R. W.; Mackenzie, D. E.; O’Nions, R.K. (Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 1983)
Abstract RB-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic and trace-element-abundance values have been determined for 15 mafic and intermediate rocks from six Pleistocene volcanic centres of the Fly-Highlands province. 87Sr/86Sr and ϵN d values range from 0.70362 to 0.70540, and +1.9 to +5.9, respectively. These new data can be accounted for by contamination of mantle-derived magmas by the continental crust through which the magmas have risen. They do not, however, preclude derivation of some of the Sr and Nd from subducted crust, nor are they inconsistent with Sr and Nd enrichments having taken place by means of mantle metasomatic events. Nevertheless, there is no Benioff zone beneath the Fly-Highlands province (although there is geological evidence for Cretaceous subduction). A preferred interpretation is that uncontaminated, mantle-derived magmas are related to the Pliocene crustal uplift that caused the development of the highlands and which formed in response to a mid-Tertiary continent/island-arc collision.

Attitudes toward abortion and contraception among Nigerian secondary school girls - Oronsaye, A.U.; Odiase, G I (International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1983)
A study of the attitudes of school girls in Benin City, Nigeria, toward abortion and contraception was carried out in three of the city's postprimary schools, using a uniform multiple-choice questionnaire. The findings show that although a significant proportion of the school girls had resorted to abortion to solve their problem of unwanted pregnancy, liberalized abortion law was only favored by a minority (approx. 30%). Also, although this indicated a high rate of sexual activity, their knowledge and practice of contraception and contraceptive methods is deficient and prejudiced. The latter findings may be responsible for the high rate of abortion among school girls in Nigeria.This study investigated the attitudes toward abortion and contraception among 530 girls in 3 secondary schools in Benin City, Nigeria. 21.1% of the study population had 1st sexual intercourse before age 15 years and 55.1% before age 16. 160 respondents (30.2%) reported an illegally induced abortion, 81.2% of whom were ages 15-19 years and unmarried. Still in school was the reason for pregnancy termination cited by 106 (66.2%). 30% who reported an abortion (cases) and 27% of those who had never had an abortion (controls) indicated support for liberalized abortion law. 5% of cases and 15% of controls asserted that abortion was wrong under any circumstances, whereas the remaining 55% cases and 58% controls felt abortion was justified on medical grounds. 86% who had undergone abortion and 60% of controls were opposed to contraception because it is harmful to health and detrimental to future fertility. 3% of cases and 24% of controls supported contraceptive use. Among the study population as a whole, 44% had never used any form of contraception, 30% had used the condom, and 6% had used oral contraception. The high rate of sexual activity among Nigerian school girls is not matched by effective contraceptive practice. Sex education is recommended to overcome the deficient and inaccurate knowledge of contraception found in this population.

The Emirs and the Spread of Western Education in Northern Nigeria, 1910–1946 - Tibenderana, Peter K. (The Journal of African History, 1983)
This article opens with a brief mention of the major criticisms which are currently made against the emirs' role in the development of Western education in northern Nigeria during the colonial era. It is suggested that these criticisms are ill founded and that they are more often than not based on a misconception of the emirs' power in the colonial situation. It is argued that the emirs were not de facto rulers of their respective emirates and had no powers to initiate educational development projects. The main discussion focuses on their attitude to Western education and how they took advantage of the educational opportunities offered by native administration schools to foster the political interests of their sons. It then examines their efforts to persuade the British administration to expand educational facilities in their emirates including those for female education and why these efforts were generally fruitless. Examination of the historical record reveals that the emirs played a more prominent role in the advancement of Western education than has hitherto been recognized.

History of Western Education in French-Speaking Africa: The Example of Senegal - Vandewiele, Michel (Psychological Reports, 1983)
Three centuries of French government with a colonial policy of cultural assimilation have earned Senegal a rich yet ambiguous educational system. While contributing to the full development of the country one consequent would restrict separateness of cultural identity for the Senegalese and require adaptation of the French educational system to their specific needs. This paper examines the history of Senegal's integration as a colony with the French educational system and the problems from independence to the present in elaborating a Senegalese education which adapts the French sysrem and promotes Senegal's cultural values and economic development. The limits of such action are the need to preserve the friendly and fruitful relationships with France especially at a time when the whole educational system is in a state of crisis, the need to “Africanize” the system without losing the benefit of international recognition, and the need to educate for development in a context of chronic underdevelopment. This background forms a context for psychological understanding of citizens' current behavior.

The Nigerian Military and the Issue of State Control of Mission Schools - Ahanotu, Austin M. (Church History, 1983)
Education is fundamental to any society. In its broadest sense it includes not merely curriculum and educational theory but all of the pressures that help to shape peoples' minds. Education, both formal and informal, is the vehicle through which society transmits its values, its “dreams”, and its worldview to its youth. Precolonial southern Nigerian societies had created educational systems that promoted their own values and moral standards as the guiding principles for their children. The function of such education, in addition to occupational preparation in agriculture, crafts, and religion, was the inculcation of a sense of communal responsibility. Christian missionaries who came in the nineteenth century brought with them European culture and traditions. These traditions were propagated and concretized in the mission schools which were tolerated by the British colonial government. But the colonial government frequently reexamined its views concerning the objectives of the mission schools. During the nationalist period (1945–1960) the nature of politics, particularly in southeastern Nigeria, led to further reevaluation of the basic role of missions in secular education. Then the military officers came to power in 1966. They shared the perspective that the idea of the elimination of mission schools within the Nigerian educational system again should be given serious consideration.

Cultural Perceptions of the Mentally Ill: Australian and Papua New Guinean High School Youth - Callan, Victor J.; Wilks, Jeffrey; Forsyth, Stewart (Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1983)
One hundred and thirty-three (76 male, 57 female) Papua New Guinean (PNG) and 144 (93 male, 51 female) Australian high school students completed a series of structured and open-ended measures on attitudes to the mentally ill, especially opinions about the nature of mental illness, characteristics of the mentally ill, and treatment. Both groups of students suggested hereditary and environmental causes, with PNG students citing more often witchcraft and sorcery. Australian students generally presented more favourable attitudes to mental illness, in that they were more willing to work with or marry the mentally ill. PNG students, however, were more likely to highlight the disruptive, violent behaviour of the long long, and possibly held a much narrower view of the types of persons labelled mentally ill.

Ventilatory capacity in Nigerian school children - Oduwole, Olabisi; Adérele, W. I.; Tweedie, M. C. K. (Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1983)
Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were determined in 1001 healthy Nigerian school children, aged between four and 16 years. The results were analysed with respect to the ages, heights, weights and body surface areas of the subjects. Among the variables used, weight showed the best correlation with FEV1.0 in both sexes and with FVC in males. Conversely, height showed the best correlation with FVC in females. However, the differences between these correlations were not significant. The median values obtained were lower than those reported in caucasian children at all height levels, but similar to the only available data in the literature for African children. Median FEV1.0 and FVC values were higher in males than in females at most ages, particularly the younger ones. Formulae for the medians and corresponding 2.5 and 97.5% points have been produced, using either height or weight as independent variable.

Summary Data from a questionnaire administered to 222 women student teachers of the Faculty of Education, University of Ife, Nigeria, indicated that a significantly greater proportion of the student teachers aspired to pursue master's degree than doctor's degrees. Married and unmarried women differed in their aspiration to be principals of high schools but showed no difference in their aspiration to be vice-principals or special-grade principals of high schools. As the level of professional union organization increased from a state to a national body, married and unmarried subjects were less likely to differ in their aspiration to be leaders of the union.

Possible origin of K-rich volcanic rocks from Virunga, East Africa, by metasomatism of continental crustal material: Pb, Nd and Sr isotopic evidence - Vollmer, R.; Norry, Michael J (Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1983)
The isotopic compositions of Sr, Nd and Pb together with the abundances of Rb, Sr, U and Pb have been determined for mafic and felsic potassic alkaline rocks from the young Virunga volcanic field in the western branch of the East African rift system.87Sr/86Sr varies from 0.7055 to 0.7082 in the mafic rocks and from 0.7073 to 0.7103 in the felsic rocks. The latter all come from one volcano, Sabinyo. Sabinyo rocks have negative εNdvalues ofεNd = −10. Nd and Sr isotopic variations in the basic potassic rocks are correlated and plot between Sabinyo and previously reported [1] compositions (εNd = +2.5;87Sr/86Sr≈ 0.7047) for Nyiragongo nephelinites. The Pb isotopic compositions for Sabinyo rocks are nearly uniform and average206Pb/204Pb≈ 19.4,207Pb/204Pb= 15.79–15.84,208Pb/204Pb≈ 41.2. The basic potassic rocks have similar206Pb/204Pb values but range in207Pb/204Pb and208Pb/204Pb from the Sabinyo values to less radiogenic compositions. Excellent correlations of87Sr/86Sr with Rb/Sr, 1/Sr and207Pb/206Pb for Sabinyo rocks suggest these to be members of a hybrid magma series. However, the nearly uniform Pb compositions for this series points to radiogenic growth of87Sr in the magma source region following an event which homogenized the isotopic compositions but not Rb/Sr. The Rb-Sr age derived from the erupted Sabinyo isochron-mixing line is consistent with the ∼500 Myr Pb-Pb age from Nyiragongo [1], which suggests that this event affected all Virunga magma sources. The event can again be traced in the Pb-Pb, Pb-Sr and Nd-Sr isotopic correlations for all Virunga rocks, including Nyiragongo, when allowances are made for radiogenic growth subsequent to this mixing or incomplete homogenization event. Inferred parent/daughter element fractionations point to a metasomatic event during which a mantle fluid invaded two lithospheric reservoirs: a +εNd reservoir sampled by the Nyiragongo nephelinites and suggested to be the subcontinental mantle and a −εNd reservoir sampled by the mafic and felsic potasssic volcanism. Whether this −εNd reservoir is the crust, continental crustal material in the mantle or anomalous mantle cannot be decided from the data. The simplest answer, that this reservoir is the continental crust, seems to be at variance with experimental evidence suggesting a subcrustal origin for basic potassic magmas. Partial melting of the ancient metasomatised lithospheric domains and ensuing volcanism seems to be entirely a response to decompression and rising geotherms during rifting and thinning of the lithosphere.

A comparison of the attitudes of students and non-students toward the disabled in Ghana - Walker, Sylvia (International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1983)
A comparison of attitudes toward the disabled in Ghana was made between 146 college students (majoring in general education, special education administration and medicine) and 128 non-students. The study focuses on an analysis of responses to a select number of attitude statements which revealed the following: Students responded more favorably than non-students to statements emphasizing the value of educating the disabled. Students were less likely to blame the disabled or his/her family for the presence of a disability. On the other hand, both students and non-students were least favorable to social interaction with the disabled. A major finding of the study was that all scores fell within or above the moderately positive range. However, analysis of data revealed an inconsistency between the cognitive and affective attitude components. These findings suggest the influence of traditional beliefs on attitudes toward the disabled.

Blood Pressure Levels in Nigerian School Girls - Abu-Bakare, A; Oyaide, Scott M. (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1983)
Blood pressure was measured in 684 girls ranging in age from 11 to 18 years at a government secondary girls' school. The study showed a gradual rise in the mean diastolic and systolic pressures with increasing age. There was a significant difference in the mean systolic and diastolic pressures of the girls aged 11–15 compared with those aged 16–18. Hypertension defined as systolic and/or diastolic pressures greater than two standard deviations above the mean pressures was found in 6.8 per cent of the study population.

Factors influencing Nigerian adults to participate in the adult basic education programs of the Nigerian Baptist Convention which lead to the first-school-leaving-certificate - Aderinto, John Adeboye (1983)
The problem with which this study is concerned is that of determining the specific stated factors that influenced Nigerian adults to participate in adult basic educational programs of the Nigerian Baptist Convention which lead to the first-school-leaving-certificate. The purpose of the study was to identify and examine the factors that influence Nigerian adults to participate in the adult basic and certificate educational programs of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, and to make recommendations for program improvements based on these findings. The data for this study were collected from questionnaires which included demographic information about the participants and a list of reasons for educational participation and needs-met statements. Questionnaire items were rated on a five-point scale. The researcher mailed 600 questionnaires to both adult basic and certificate education students in the adult education programs of the Nigerian Baptist Convention in Ibadan, Nigeria. The basic education group responded to 126 questionnaires, while the certificate groups responded to 122 questionnaires.

Local earthquakes on three‐component seismographs: Heterogeneity in the aftershock zone of El Asnam, Algeria (10.10.1980, M = 7.3) - Nercessian, A.; Sapin, M.; Hirn, A.; Wittlinger, G.; Djeddi, M. (Geophysical Research Letters, 1983)
Seismograms of aftershocks of the El Asnam earthquake recorded by three‐component stations of a local array provide direct evidence of structural heterogeneity in the aftershock zone. Inversion of arrival times for three dimensional velocity structure is thus needed for the relocation of hypocenters. These fall within a reduced depth interval from 6 to 12 km in the underthrust block.

Activities of the youth education programme on education for adulthood at Chogoria Hospital in Kenya. (PubMed, 1983)
The reaction of most people in Africa to the problem of the high rates of teenage illegitimate pregnancies is to criticize the young people rather than to try to understand the underlying reasons for the problem. People in the Meru District of Kenya, with the help of the Chogoria Hospital Community Health Department, have been seeking a solution. A series of consultations were initiated to seek the support of the various agencies who might be involved in any effort to solve the problem. An advisory group was formed comprising school teachers and education officials, church representatives, youth leaders, and hospital staff. The result was the establishment of the youth education program entitled Education for Adulthood. The youth officer took up his post in January 1981 and the program has developed since then. The main emphasis is on the training of teachers. The staff concentrates on organizing training courses and giving follow-up and support to those who were giving the lessons in the various institutions in the area. In the catchment area there are 33 secondary schools, 135 primary schools, over 100 churches, and countless community and youth groups. The program does not offer contraceptive services or lessons on the specific contraceptive methods, but when teachers and leaders request family planning education, arrangements are made for this to be taught by members of the hospital staff. Many of the different lessons, such as population dynamics and risks and consequences of teenage pregnancy, have an implicit family planning message. Since the beginning of the program, a total of 103 school teachers have been trained in 1 week courses. A total of 86 church/church youth leaders have been trained at weekend courses and a further 361 at 1-day training seminars. Information seminars are conducted for parents in every area where a trained instructor is about to begin working. In the early days of the program, the primary emphasis was in teaching human reproduction and risks and consequences of teenage sexual activity. As the program has developed, the number and range of the subjects covered has increased. The program has experienced a fair number of problems, including suspicion about the program and the limited level of activity on the part of some school teachers and other trainees following training. The rate of illegitimate births in the hospital are about the same as before, but the fact that they have not increased as they did in the previous decade may be an achievement for the program.

[In Nigeria: sexual permissiveness and sex education]. - Demehin, Ade Olowo (PubMed, 1983)
Considering the population explosion in Nigeria which is due both to medical advances and traditional beliefs in large families as well as the recent trend of sexual permissiveness which involves the teenagers population, the author of the article considers that sex education is imperative in Nigeria. However, he sees many obstacles standing in the way of general acceptance of sex education. The husband-wife relationship does not encourage free communication on the subject and colonization has removed the traditional forms of sex education through initiation rites and pre-marital counseling by the elders so that young people nowadays rely mostly on peer information or erotic movies and publications. It seems to the author that the only avenue left open is to teach sex education through the school systems. A systematic review of the provisions for sex education in primary and secondary schools as well as teacher's training colleges bring the author to the conclusion that although the sex education curriculum seems comprehensive on paper, they are mere copies of similar American or Canadian programmes with very little attempt at indigenizing them. Furthermore, the syllabus seem to be concentrated on one year instead of being spread out over the school career. The author expresses his conviction that the topic could easily be made acceptable with the right approach and he advocates grounding sex education teaching in the traditional roots of the students.

A review of breeding drought resistant Casuarina for shelterbelt establishment in arid regions with special reference to Egypt - El-Lakany, M.H. (Forest Ecology and Management, 1983)
Drought resistant forest trees are essential for the establishment of protection plantations in arid and semi-arid regions. Some members of the family Casuarinaceae are considered as prime candidates for such a task. In spite of their superior qualities as shelterbelts, as a source of fuel wood and in soil rehabilitation, casuarinas are among the least exploited forest trees. This article reviews the recent developments in breeding for drought resistance in woody trees and the criteria generally used for screening tolerant taxa. The Casuarina breeding programme undertaken by Alexandria University is described and some of the early results are reviewed.

Oil pollution on the Egyptian Red Sea coast - Hanna, Rifaat G.M. (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1983)
A simple weighing method using carbon tetrachloride as solvent was used to survey the dissolved hydrocarbon and tarball levels in the area of the Egyptian Red Sea coast. The area of investigation covers the coastal area from Ras-Gharib down to the port of Qosier during the period from September 1979 to February 1981. This survey confirms the presence of extensive oil pollution in the area, especially at Ras-Gharib and Ras-Shukhair. Minimum concentrations were obtained at Ghardaqa where no dissolved hydrocarbons were detected (i.e. less than 10 μg l−1) in 1979–1980 but an increase to 20 μg l−1 in 1981 was recorded. The high levels of pollution recorded in the southern part of the Gulf of Suez are related to the presence of the offshore oil fields, most of which are located at Ras-Gharib.

In conclusion, it should be emphasized that this man probably would have been considered more mentally ill than someone suffering solely from the effects of being accursed and that he would have been a psychiatric casualty even in familiar surroundings. This case serves to emphasize that not all psychoses that are cultunally determined are of a hystenical nature. It also indicates that our Western diagnostic scheme is not inappropriately applied to tnanscultural psychiatric illnesses, and reminds us that cultural insights may enhance, rather than predude, the practice of a scientific psychiatry.

Kenya explores new ways of producing literacy materials for basic education. - Kinyua, M. G. (PubMed, 1983)
For most developing countries, educational innovation in the 1980s will mean making the most of meager available resources in an era of shrinking foreign aid and growing educational need. According to a 1976 survey, slightly over 1/2 of Kenya's adult population was illiterate in 1976, with illiteracy concentrated among women. By 1981, some 15,000 full-time and part-time adult literacy teachers had been recruited by the Department of Adult Education, created in 1979. Since 1979, primers have been developed for the adult education program in only 15 of the more than 40 indigenous languages. In a search for ways to provide appropriate adult learning materials, pilot projects were begun in 2 districts, Meru and Kisumu. About 30 participants attended a 2-week workshop in Meru in 1980 to discuss curriculum for the low-cost literacy materials project, and the facilitators learned new techniques to pass on to the teachers. In early 1981, workshops to train teachers in low-cost materials production techniques were held in the 2 districts. About 290 teachers in Meru and 75 in Kisumu underwent training in screening techniques to determine learners' interests, exploring locally available resources for teaching aids, producing, and pretesting materials, and operating simple reproduction equipment. The workshops blended theory and practical work and were responsive to evaluation results. The projects were later expanded to the whole country, and it is hoped that by late 1983 all districts will have been covered and an evaluation carried out. The project experience has demonstrated that Third World countries do not have to be dependent on modern educational technology. Low-cost print is 1 way of supplying a technology appropriate in both cost and in meeting local needs.

RELATIONSHIPS OF LOCUS OF CONTROL TO SELF‐ESTEEM, ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, AND PREDICTION OF PERFORMANCE AMONG NIGERIAN SECONDARY SCHOOL PUPILS - Maqsud, Muhammad (British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1983)
S ummary . The purpose of this study was: ( a ) to investigate the effects of socioeconomic background, locus of control, intelligence, and self‐esteem on academic achievement of Nigerian secondary school pupils; ( b ) and to examine the relationships of locus of control to socio‐economic background, intelligence, self‐esteem, academic achievement and prediction of academic performance. Eighty secondary school boys completed the Socio‐economic Background Questionnaire, the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, the Brookover Scale of Self‐Concept of Academic Ability, and provided estimates of prediction of their own academic performance. The analyses of data revealed that: ( a ) all the four independent variables (socio‐economic background, locus of control, intelligence, self‐esteem) had significant positive effects on academic achievement; ( b ) internality significantly positively correlated with intelligence, self‐esteem and academic achievement; ( c ) the internals were significantly more accurate predictors of their own academic performance than the externals.

An aftershock study of the El Asnam (Algeria) earthquake of 1980 October 10 - Ouyed, Merzouk; Yielding, Graham; Hatzfeld, Denis; King, Geoffrey (Geophysical Journal International, 1983)
Summary. An array of 28 portable seismic stations was operated in the region of El Asnam following the magnitude 7.3 (Ms) thrust earthquake of 1980 October 10. Locations of 494 events are presented in this paper and provide an indication of the overall form of the aftershock distribution. Tests to establish location accuracy (particularly depth) reduce this set to 277 events which, it is argued, are well constrained. P-waves alone are used in this study as a consequence of a debate about the reliability of reading S-phases. From the reduced set of 277 events, 81 events provide well-constrained focal mechanisms. The locations are presented in the form of maps and cross-sections, and discussed in relation to information already derived from field mapping of surface breaks and teleseismic studies of the waveforms of the main event. The zone of surface faulting (including secondary normal faulting) extended for 35 km but the aftershock distribution extends for twice this distance. Along the part of the fault which experienced substantial displacement in the main shock, the fault plane itself appears to be devoid of aftershocks, although many lie in the footwall beneath the fault. At junctions between segments of thrust faulting, strike-slip motion occurs. This is apparent in the aftershock focal mechanisms, and in the surface ruptures in one place. The large number of aftershocks in the north-east area appears to be due to the reactivation of a fan-like system of smaller reverse faults associated with surface folding. Activity at the south-west end is considerably less than that in the north-east, and is not obviously associated with recognizable geological or morphological features.

Suggested mechanism for the chronic pollution by oil of beaches east of Cape Agulhas, South Africa - Shannon, L. V.; Chapman, Piers (South African journal of marine sciences, 1983)
The distribution of tar balls over the Agulhas Bank during 1977 and 1978, although variable, was consistent with the oceanography of the region. Mesoscale patches of tar-ball concentrations appeared to move onto the Agulhas Bank from the south between 20 and 21°E, under the influence of prevailing winds and currents. Substantial concentrations were observed inshore and offshore in the region east of Cape Agulhas. Data of a hydrological and meteorological nature, on ship's drift and from drift cards have shown the existence of a zone of surface divergence extending southwards from Cape Agulhas. Surface water east of Cape Agulhas (20°E) tends to move slowly eastwards and northwards and water west of the same longitude has a predominantly westerly component. The surface currents east of Cape Agulhas would tend to move the tar balls, which accumulate in eddies in the area, on shore, whereas west of Cape Agulhas on-shore flow is less pronounced. The residence time of tar balls on the Agulhas Bank appears to be substantial, in the range 2—8 weeks. It is concluded that the beaches between Cape Agulhas and Mossel Bay are highly susceptible to pollution by oil and tar balls.

Charging User Fees for Social Services: The Case of Education in Malawi - Thobani, Mateen (1983)
The paper analyzes in detail one of the ways to reduce the problem of recurrent expenditure in social sector services - that of raising user charges. When low user charges and limits on the government budget cause an excess demand for a service, one of two things must happen: some people will be denied the service, or the quality of the service will deteriorate. This paper argues that both these phenomena typically hurt the poor more than the rich. Therefore, raising user charges in line with the efficiency rule suggested will result in relatively more of the poor benefiting as compared to the rich. The second part of the paper applies the framework developed here to the education sector in Malawi. Based on the analysis of readily available data, specific policy conclusions are drawn regarding user charges. The recommendations are practicable and efficient, while simultaneously allowing a greater proportion of the poor to have access to education.

Comparative Nutrition and Health Services for Victims of Drought and Hostilities in the Ogaden: Somalia and Ethiopia, 1980–1981 - Henderson, Peggy L; Biellik, Robin (International Journal of Health Services, 1983)
The civil chaos created by a combination of drought and hostilities in the Ogaden region of southern Ethiopia during the past five years has caused the majority of the indigenous, principally nomadic population to flee the area and seek refuge either in Somali refugee camps or in Ethiopian shelters for displaced persons. This paper compares the provision of basic food rations, selective feeding programs, primary health care, and preventive health measures between the two groups. During 1980–1981 Somalia received more international assistance per capita than Ethiopia. Large numbers of Western personnel provided health and nutrition services in Somali refugee camps, whereas no foreigners were involved in Ethiopian shelters. These disparities were largely due to inadequate publicity concerning the problems Ethiopia faces, partly resulting from real and perceived political limitations related to the Soviet presence in that country. Refugee needs in Somalia have been publicized far more adequately, partly due to that country's alignment with the West. The Ethiopians nevertheless demonstrated greater efficiency in assisting their disaster victims; camp services comparable to those in Somalia were available despite greater logistic difficulties and fewer donated resources. The effectiveness of relief operations in Somalia was reduced by political constraints on governmental agencies.

For 20 years, since Prince originally introduced it, the term “brain fag syndrome” has been used to describe a variety of symptoms frequently reported by students in Africa. In this paper the author questions the validity of the use of the term on the basis of clinical evidence afforded by his work and reports in the literature. It is concluded that brain fag syndrome is a misnomer and that more specific diagnostic terms such as anxiety neurosis and depressive neurosis should be used in its place.

Storm-generated accumulation of nummulite banks in Eocene of Cairo, Egypt - Aigner, Thomas (AAPG Bulletin, 1983)
Nummulite banks which are common in neritic and shelf-edge facies in many parts of the Tethyan Eocene have been mainly regarded as reef-type buildups so far. However, stratification and biofabrics of such banks in the middle Eocene around Cairo demonstrate the importance of physical processes in molding nummulitic sediment bodies. Initiation of a nummulite bank at the Giza Pyramids Plateau is localized by a preexisting paleohigh, inherited from Late Cretaceous tectonism. On this submarine swell (about 1 x 1.5 km wide), ecological conditions were optimal for a flourishing Nummulites gizehensis-community, resulting in greater sediment production than in adjacent environments. Growth of the nummulite bank into a sediment body over 30 m (98 ft) in thickness and more than 1 km (.62 mi) in length is strongly enhanced by mechanical concentration of nummulite tests into coquinal packstones. These are interpreted to be a product of storm-generated winnowing. Paleoecological evidence shows that nummulite banks are largely an in-situ lag deposit. Periods of nummulite settlement are episodically disturbed by catastrophic storm events, which result in winnowing and local accumulation of the heavier bioclasts.

African Traditional Education - Boateng, Felix A. (Journal of Black Studies, 1983)
Politicians, educators, and other observers have attributed the increasing deterioration of intergenerational communication in Africa and other parts of the world to systems of education introduced by Western colonial powers. The traditional role of African cultural education-that of bridging the gap between the adult generation and youth-is gradually giving way to the development of creative individuals who are completely removed from their traditions. But as David Scanlon points out in his work, Traditions of African Education, in education tradition is inescapable, whether one reaffirms or repudiates it (Scanlon, 1964). In Africa's continuous effort to decolonize her societies, may be necessary to recall the caution in Ralph Perry's dictum that

Universal Primary Education in Nigeria: Its Problems and Implications - Csapo, Marg (African Studies Review, 1983)
Nigerian educational administrators find themselves engulfed by a tidal wave of swiftly swelling pupil enrollment. The rapid rate of growth poses the challenging question of how much time is left for solutions. Niger State is one example. In April 1976, 244 primary schools offered instruction to 15,796 pupils. Four months later, the state needed 931 primary schools for an additional 63,384 pupils: a growth rate of almost 400 percent. In 1978 there were 1,091 primary schools to serve 179,861 children. This amounted to a real growth of over 1000 percent in two years. This experience was repeated across a number of states. The comparison of enrollment in the first year of primary school between 1975/76 and 1976/77 school years, for example, shows a percentage increase of 557 percent in Niger, 491 percent in Kano, 442 percent in Kaduna, 263 percent in Benue. The smallest increase was 11 percent in Gongola State. Parallel to the pupil enrollment was the percentage increase of the number of primary schools between 1975/76 and 1976/77, 301.3 percent in Niger, 227.1 percent in Kano, 196.4 percent in Kaduno, 142.9 percent in Benue. The smallest increase reported was in Imo State, 1.5 percent. This recent explosion in Nigerian primary school enrollment was the direct result of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) scheme launched in September 1976. It marked the dawn of an educational revolution with pervasive social and economic implications (Bray, 1981). The political expectations were that universal free primary education would enable the nation to overcome the hurdles caused by unbalanced educational and economic development which resulted in southern dominance and educational imbalances of urban opportunities over the rural, and the preponderance of male over female enrollment in schools.

Religious identity and attitudes toward contraceptives among university students in Nigeria - Owie, Ikponmwosa (Biodemography and Social Biology, 1983)
The influence of religious affiliation upon the attitudes of Nigerian university students toward contraceptive use was investigated. A 15-item inventory was constructed to assess differences in the attitudes of 213 male and 87 female university students. Religious affiliation was the independent variable. The null hypothesis tested was that no significant difference exists among the various religious groups in their attiudues toward the use of contraceptives. 65% of Moslems, 51% of Christians, and 59% of indigenous groups agreed with the statement, "Contraception is an unnecessary interference with nature." Most respondents disagreed with the statement, "Uncontrolled distribution of contraceptive devices might lead to increased female disloyalty and unfaithfulness." Disagreement was expressed by 67% of the Moslems. This finding was the reverse of what the investigator had expected. It seemed to indicate that the majority of respondents were not opposed to contraception for fear of female promiscuity following the liberlization of contraceptive information, materials, or techniques. The evidence suggests that the differences between the Christian and the Moslem groups were significant even at the 0.001 level. A significant difference was observed between the Christian and the indigenous group. The Christian group tended to have more favorable attitudes toward contraception than either the Moslem or the indigenous group. The majority of the respondents disagreed with the statement, "Sex education related to family planning should be part of the school program." Of the Moslems, 82% indicated disagreement; of the Christians, 70%; and of the indigenous religious group, 85%. These groups did not see any need for contraceptive services or sex education in the school system.

The Linear Organization of Localized Storms in the Summer Rainfall Zone of South Africa - Sharon, David (Monthly Weather Review, 1983)
The spatial organization of localized showers in the summer rainfall region of South Africa has been studied by means of spatial correlation functions. A predominant linear arrangement of parallel shower belts has been identified, with an orientation between W–E and WNW–ESE. No differences were found in this respect between the driest years in the 1960's and the wettest ones in the 1950's and 1970's, but a linear trend was absent, or at least not prevalent at any fixed orientation, during the dry spell extending from the late 1940's to the early 1950's. The above linear trend has been found to persist also throughout the year, though, in general, rainfall appeared as spatially less organized during summer months than during spring and autumn.

CONSERVATION IN COMMUNITY SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM THE MADANG, SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS, AND NORTH SOLOMONS PROVINCES OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA - Shea, John D.; Ogaiea, Mundea; Bagara, Bernadette (International Journal of Psychology, 1983)
Three hundred and eight primary level boys and girls from the Madang, North Solomons, and Southern Highlands Provinces of Papua New Guinea were tested for conservation of number, length, quantity, and area. School grade, and age were related to performance in some cases, though sex had little effect. There were significant differences between the language‐culture groups tested on three of the four conservation tasks. Since there was little consistency of performance over the four tasks, it was suggested that explanations of the variations of cognitive performance found within Papua New Guinea, and between Papua New Guinean groups and others may need to give attention to specific characteristics of each group's environment.

The Tanzania School Health Program has been functioning for about 1 year; its main objective is to make use of the educational system to promote health and resolve problems associated with poor environment or lack of knowledge about health. Another objective is to use the capability of lay medical care to remedy minor illnesses. The principal goals are: 1) to improve the health of primary school children through first aid, health education, preventive care, safe water, sanitation, and improved school farms; 2) to extend these benefits to the schools' villages by community participation; 3) to test and measure strategies in pilot programs in Dodoma and Singida Regions in order to recommend a plan for national expansion. Tables give statistics for: 1) proportion of schools with water supply; 2) proportion with latrines; 3) health and medical problems; 4) proportion of schools with a shamba (farm); and 5) average distance of primary school to the nearest main road, dispensary, and hospital. Further plans to assess improvement in health status will be possible when a more intensive medical survey has been completed.

Communicating Nutrition to High School Students in Kenya - Feldman, Robert (Journal of School Health, 1983)
The success of school health programs depends upon effective communication. The characteristics of the communicator is an important component in the communication process. Research indicates that the expertise of the communicator and communicator-audience similarity are both characteristics that influence the acceptance of health information. The goal of this study was to determine which combination of expertise and similarity is most effective in improving the nutrition knowledge and attitudes of high school students in Kenya, East Africa. To examine this problem, Gusii students from Kenya received communications advocating improved nutrition from sources varying in expertise and similarity. Results of the investigation indicated that a communicator similar to his or her audience (low expert/high similar communicator) was effective in persuading the students as an expert (high expert/low similar communicator). The implications for school health programs, especially in developing countries, is that in utilizing a culturally similar, locally-trained person (low expert/high similar communicator) as a communicator source, the school is obtaining an effective communicator as well as utilizing limited resources in the most effective manner. If a culturally dissimilar person is the source of the information, then this individual would be effective only if he or she is an expert.The success of school health programs depends upon effective communication.

Zinc Deficiency and Impaired Platelet Aggregation in Guinea Pigs - Gordon, Philip; O’Dell, Boyd L. (The Journal of Nutrition, 1983)
Previous studies have shown that acute zinc deficiency results in impaired platelet aggregation in humans and rats as well as decreased sensitivity to such aggregating agents as ADP, arachidonate and collagen. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of zinc deficiency on platelet function and other pathology in the guinea pig. Guinea pigs of mixed sex were fed a purified diet based on soybean protein (1 ppm Zn) or a similar control diet (100 ppm Zn). In one trial weanling guinea pigs, weighing about 150 g, were fed the diets for 22 days. Those fed the basal diet failed to grow after 2 weeks, and food consumption decreased at this time although it did not become cyclic. They developed skin lesions; zinc concentrations were decreased in plasma, red cells and liver. There was no effect on the packed cell volume. Guinea pigs weighing 350 g and fed the basal diet for 18 days showed little or no effect on growth rate and food intake, but tissue zinc levels were decreased. Plasma zinc dropped significantly within 24 hours. Platelet aggregation in response to minimal levels of ADP and a prostaglandin endoperoxide analog (U-44069) was severely impaired. Aggregation in response to bovine thrombin (1 unit/ml) was significantly delayed, but the partial response in the presence of indomethacin was not affected by zinc deficiency. The results suggest that impaired platelet aggregation is a general sign of zinc deficiency in mammals and that the function of the physiological eicosanoids is impaired.

The time of darkness — local legends and volcanic reality in Papua New Guinea - Johnson, R. W. (Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 1983)
Volcanoes have affected people and our human ancestors for millions of years. Volcanic activity ranges from mild lava flows to colossal explosive eruptions that can even cause climatic downturns for the whole world. Volcanic ejecta can form very fertile soils, and lava flows can provide stones useful for making cutting, scraping, and grinding tools. Volcanoes present hazards and opportunities, and many human societies learned how to cope with the risks while taking advantage of volcanoes. In other cases, the resilience of some societies was exceeded by the magnitude of the eruption, or they had crossed a threshold of sustainability, and they suffered terribly or collapsed.

Review of Water Pollution Problems and Control Strategies in the South African Mining Industry - Kempe, J O (Water Science and Technology, 1983)
Water resources in South Africa are limited. It is inevitable that in a climate of expanding industry and economy, total salt loads discharged both from point and non-point sources will increase. The effect of this on these resources will soon assume crisis proportions unless effective treatment for the removal of salt loads from effluents is exercised and rigid constraints imposed on effluents not conforming to prescribed quality standards. The mining industry is a large user of water and a major contributor to salt load entering streams, rivers and encatchments. Special attention is given to the use of water and discharge of effluents by this large and important industry.

PROFESSIONAL NEEDS OF NIGERIAN TEACHERS - Ndu, Alice N.; Ohikhena, Titus O. (Journal of Educational Administration, 1983)
This study, designed to identify what needs teachers seek to satisfy in their work place, was carried out in Imo State of Nigeria. Data were collected by a Herzberg‐type interview. Teachers were found to be primarily concerned with adequate pay, occupational advancement, appreciation, personal comforts, security, leadership, achievement and opportunity for personal growth, in that order. It does not appear that these teachers are primarily maintenance‐seekers desiring lower order needs (Maslow) or hygiene factors (Herzberg). Intrinsic needs are rated much lower than extrinsic needs. This may have been conditioned by the Nigerian environment where basic social amenities like electricity, housing, water and transportation are still very inadequate. This study therefore gives an indication of what educational leaders in Nigeria can look into in developing motivational strategies for teachers.

Population education in some African countries. (PubMed, 1983)
A question which continues to be a subject for discussion concerns the definition of the content of population education. At this time population education is regarded as a teaching process of demographic analysis of fertility, mortality, migration, and nuptiality. The objective of population education is to introduce and provide information on the interrelations between demographic phenomena and social and economic questions. The task consists of educating, creating awareness, and motivating people at all levels on population matters in order that they understand how their daily socioeconomic activities interact with the changes that take place in the dimension and structure of population. Another important question concerns the methodology of education and the social group to which it is offered. As population problems are numerous and complex, it is better to adopt a methodological approach which consists of identifying problems and finding their solutions. Population education should be conceived on the basis of development policy in short, medium, and long terms. In Africa population education is still limited to few countries and is still primarily at the project stage. The programs have been conceived and established as policy instruments in order to achieve fixed development objectives. 1 objective is the reduction in the rate of population growth. These objectives have been adopted by Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, and Mauritius. The subjects for teaching do not reflect on the demographic objective of government policies. The subjects for teaching should be clearly defined. The 1st subject should be demography in that it provides principles and methods of data collection and analysis of demographic pehnomena. The 2nd group of subjects should cover the social sciences, i.e., economics, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and public health. The degree of advancement depends on the levels of the teaching (primary, secondary, or university) in which the subjects are offered. The programs on population education in Africa are still at an initial stage. Their development and effective functioning depends on several factors.

Teachers and Health Workers: Partners in Primary Health Care. Experiences from Papua New Guinea - Aarons, Audrey (Community Development Journal, 1983)
Primary health care (PHC) involves community health education. When health priorities in rural communities are focused on the vulnerable under-5-years-of-age group then one has to examine who actually cares for this age group and what are the most appropriate means of reaching them through health education programs. In the context of rural communities in Papua New Guinea the linking of school and community health programs has been taking place. Examples and insights from programs where teachers and health workers attempted to find appropriate channels for integrating child and adult education in order to improve the health status of the very young child are described. The school programs used a child to child approach to develop in children a sense of shared responsibility with adults towards better health for themselves, younger children in their care and the environment of the community. The goal was a health program that applied to the whole community, where division between child and adult learning activities was not so sharply drawn, and where formal school programs and nonformal community education programs were to complement and contribute to each other. A campaign against infant diarrhea and death through dehydration was implemented. As a result of a 3-day planning workshop a program was drawn up for schools and communities. The workshop covered causes of diarrhea, fluid loss and dehydration, simple preventive and curative measures, essential hygiene habits and current community practices. Teachers, health workers and community leaders fashioned a program of activities for school children and adults. It was discovered that adults often feel a barrier between themselves and the child's school learning. Also, a gap often exists between what is taught in school and what is needed and can be applied to community health priorities. Thus, an effective community health education program that includes both children and adults in an integrated program will need to cover the varying ages and groups of community members who, with different degrees of responsibility, take care of themselves and others.

Storm-Generated Accumulation of Nummulite Banks in Eocene of Cairo, Egypt: ABSTRACT - Aigner, Thomas (AAPG Bulletin, 1983)

Periods of nummulite settlement are episodically disturbed by catast ophic storm events, which result in winnowing and local accumulation of the heavier bioclasts. Upward growth of the banks into shallower water is reflected by an increase in winnowed fabrics and by a cap of shoal calcarenites. During shallowing, patch reefs and a back-bank lagoon formed on the landward side of the bank. This facies association may be regarded as a model for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The high intraparticle porosity in nummulite tests (54%) makes the banks a potential reservoir, while adjacent and overlying lagoonal mudstone and wackestone may serve as source and cap rocks.
