The training of adult education personnel in Botswana - Youngman, Frank (International Journal of Educational Development, 1983)
The article provides a case study from Africa on the issues involved in training adult education personnel. It describes the social and organisational context of adult education in Botswana as the background to a discussion of training needs. A quantification of full-time adult education posts is presented to give an indication of the scope of these needs. The provision of training is then analysed in terms of four different types — initial, middle-level, advanced and inservice. The need for more systematisation and co-ordination is identified and a central role for the University is suggested. The content and methods of training are considered and the central question of the impact of training raised. It is argued that the effectiveness of training must be assessed by a three dimensional analysis which situates the personal competence of the adult educator within an organisational and socio-economic context. Finally, research and evaluation are advocated as essential in two respects. Firstly, in order to develop the knowledge-base about the theory and practice of adult education in Botswana on which to provide the content of courses. Secondly, in order to analyse the training programmes themselves. The article concludes by suggesting a framework for the future development of training for adult educators in Botswana.

Environmental pollution problems in Africa (TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 1982)
Environmental pollution is increasingly a problem in Africa, where the environmental consequences of development cannot be ignored. Although development is desirable, it can result in health problems in humans; an inadequate supply of clean water; the chemical contamination of water and air and threats to various ecosystems and living resources.

The politics of free education in Papua New Guinea - Bray, Mark (International Journal of Educational Development, 1982)
In 1981, the members of Papua New Guinea's National Assembly moved that education should become free from Grades 1 to 10 the following year. The motion was partly supported for humanitarian reasons. But in the original debate, and even more strongly during subsequent discussion and attempts at implementation, political factors came strongly to the fore. One fact which was not emphasised, when the parliamentarians originally passed the motion, was that the national government, in a decentralised system, actually had no power to abolish fees; and because of poor organisation and political rivalries, the scheme largely backfired. This paper examines the reasons why the scheme was launched, the reasons for its demise, its implications for social and inter-provincial inequality, and its effects on national-provincial government relations.

Can Education be Used as a Tool to Build a Socialist Society in Africa? The Tanzanian Case - Ergas, Zaki (The Journal of Modern African Studies, 1982)
By the time most African countries achieved independence in the early 1960s, education had become a sacred cow for both the governments and the people. For the former, education represented a major tool for nation-building and development which, in those days, meant essentially rapid industrialisation; for the latter, education–especially at the post-primary levels–was the main vehicle for social mobility, primarily because it made possible the acquisition of a well-paid job in the modern sector. For a few years it looked as if there was no contradiction between the aspirations of the people and the goals of the governments, on the one hand, and the socio-economic realities, on the other. Soon the bubble burst, however: industrialisation turned out to be no panacea; the limits of Africanisation were rapidly reached in the civil service, but proved to be a protracted affair in the economy. As the ugly scourge of youth unemployment started to spread in Africa by the mid-1960s, attention was focused on educational systems which began to be perceived as ‘dysfunctional’–i.e. as incompatible with the social and economic realities which were largely agricultural and rural. But more ominously, schools came also under attack as serving mainly the interests of the emerging bourgeoisies.

Impairment of absorption of ascorbic acid following ingestion of aspirin in guinea pigs - Ioannides, Costas; Stone, Alison N.; Breacker, Patricia J.; Basu, Tapan K. (Biochemical Pharmacology, 1982)
A study was undertaken to investigate the interactions between aspirin and ascorbic acid in guinea pigs. Animals received by gastric intubation either a single dose of radiolabelled ascorbic acid alone or ascorbic acid with aspirin and the exhalation of CO2 was monitored for 400 min following administration. Animals receiving the vitamin only reached plasma peak levels within 90 min following administration while coadministration of the vitamin with aspirin, not only resulted in lower plasma peak levels, but also delayed their attainment until after 160 min. The bioavailability of ascorbic acid during the first 400 min was reduced by half following simultaneous administration of aspirin. The initial rate of exhalation of CO2 was decreased by 70% following coadministration of aspirin. These observations indicate that aspirin impairs the gastrointestinal absorption of ascorbic acid in guinea pigs, possibly by interfering with its active transport.

Development, Drought, and Famine in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia - Kloos, Helmut (African Studies Review, 1982)
While the proximal causes of drought in the Sahel and northeast Africa are known to be due to failure of seasonal rains, possibly linked with long-range climatic changes (Tanaka et al., 1975; Winstanley, 1973; Kelley, 1975; Lamb, 1977), the more persistent problem of human adaptation and survival in increasingly man-made environments during natural disasters is only gradually being appreciated. In recent years emphasis has been placed on man's activities as the major cause of rangeland degradation and famines. It is becoming increasingly clear that drought and famine do not always reflect cause-effect relationships and that the two may coexist independently and often become linked only through politico-economic conditions (Wisner, 1977; Lofchie, 1975; Ball, 1976; Franke and Chasin, 1980: 5; Grossman, 1981; Grove, 1979). In Ethiopia the famine in highland areas in 1972-74 was closely linked to the prerevolution feudal regime (Fitzgerald, 1980; Hussein, 1976; Koehn, 1979; Shepherd, 1975). In the lowlands Bondestam (1974), Cohen (1977) and Flood (1976) associated famine with recent encroachment of pastures by irrigation schemes and with reduced river flooding caused by construction of Koka Dam. However, interaction of physico-environmental and politico-economic factors resulting in the 1972-73 drought and famine and the adaptive responses of the pastoralists in the Awash Valley remain to be studied in depth. The objective of this paper is to examine these relationships among the 130,000 Afar and the 16,000 Kereyu, Arsi and Jile Oromo, the four pastoralist groups traditionally inhabiting the Awash floodplains. The ongoing irrigation development in the Awash Valley with World Bank assistance and the recurrence of drought since 1973 (“Ethiopia”, 1981; Kloos, 1977: 215) make this a timely study. The floodplain ecosystem, although for centuries providing much-needed grazing resources during the dry season, has been relatively neglected in the study of human ecology in Africa (Scudder, 1980: 383). Field work was carried out in 1972/73, 1975/76 and 1982. This was part of disease ecology studies of schistosomiasis and other parasitic infections, irrigation development and migration patterns in the Awash Valley and surrounding highlands (Kloos and Lemma, 1974; Kloos, 1977; Kloos et al., 1981; Kloos, in press) and of a cholera vaccination program in the lower Awash Valley.

Noise impairment in the guinea pig. II. Changes of single unit responses in the inferior colliculus - Popelář, Jiří; Syka, Josef (Hearing research, 1982)
Spontaneous and evoked activity of neurons in the inferior colliculus of guinea pigs was recorded before and after exposure to noise (continuous or intermittent white noise, 115 dB SPL for 30 min). A single unit was investigated in each animal, and its activity was monitored for several hours. Exposure to noise elevated the threshold of the tip of the tuning curve, resulting in a broadening of the tuning curve. Threshold elevation at the characteristic frequency was greater after exposure to intermittent noise (200 ms noise and 200 ms pause), reaching values of 22.8 +/- 3.7 dB (means +/- S.E.) than it was after exposure to continuous noise (threshold elevation of 13.1 +/- 1.7 dB). The average threshold shift was 17.1 +/- 2 dB. Neither the shape of the poststimulus histograms nor the slope of the spike-intensity curves changed with the noise exposure. The total number of spikes during the response was, however, reduced, and the reduction was in proportion to the threshold elevation. Monaural noise exposure had no effect on the neuronal activity evoked by stimulation of the opposite, nonexposed ear. The latencies of responses recorded after exposure to noise were also longer than the latencies at the same absolute intensity recorded before the exposure. Thus the latencies during the original pre-exposure and acquired postexposure thresholds were practically identical.

Noise impairment in the guinea pig. I. Changes in electrical evoked activity along the auditory pathway - Syka, Josef; Popelář, Jiří (Hearing research, 1982)
Changes in the cochlear microphonics (CM), auditory nerve action potential (AP), and evoked responses from the inferior colliculus (IC-ER) and auditory cortex (AC-ER) of the guinea pig were assessed after exposure to white noise of 115 dB for 30 min. Both continuous and intermittent (200 ms noise and 200 ms pause) exposures were used. In comparison with the pre-exposure level, CM isopotential curves were shifted by 1.1 ±0.5 dB (x̄ ± S.E.) on the average in the range of 0.5–8 kHz (recorded at the round window). The amplitude-intensity function of the click-evoked auditory nerve action potential decreased by 8.4 ± 1.2 dB, that of the inferior colliculus evoked response by 20.9 ±3.7 dB, and the amplitude-intensity function of the auditory cortex evoked potential decreased by 6.2 ± 4.7 dB. A similar reduction in the amplitude was found after both continuous and intermittent noise exposure. In contrast to the decrease in amplitudes of evoked potentials, the latency-intensity functions of the individual waves of potentials evoked along the auditory pathway did not change when compared at the same click intensity before and after the exposure. The results suggest that individual auditory nuclei are impaired by the noise to different extents and that the impairment does not increase linearly up to the auditory cortex.

Egyptian mothers learn to treat diarrhoeal diseases. (PubMed, 1982)
Public health planners in Egypt have launched a campaign to teach mothers how to save the lives of their children by treating diarrhea with oral rehydration therapy. Timely replacement of body fluids and salts can prevent the death of diarrhea victims. Egypt needs an estimated 5 million packets of salt and sugar annually to save the children. Each packet costs less than 10 cents. The prescribed drink comprises 3.5 gm of sodium chloride (table salt), 2.5 gm of bicarbonate (baking soda), 1.5 gm of potassium chloride, 20 gm of glucose or 40 gm of sucrose dissolved in a liter of drinking water. Its suitability for widescale applications has been established in a pilot project carried out in Egypt in 1977 with help from 2 UN organizations. The study concluded that the lifesaving treatment is within the technical skills of every mother, given guidance by a nurse. Packets of the mixture are currently produced industrially by a state owned concern distributed throughout the country under the trade name Rehydran. They are also produced in many regions by local doctors and the pharmacies of primary health care units, but it takes considerably more than the production and distribution of the mixture to save the lives of the children. As diarrhea and malnutrition are closely linked, nutrition education is an important aspect of the Egyptian campaign. Mothers are being taught a whole range of essential skills at demonstrations by medical workers. The public education program is supported by the mass communication media. The training and reorientation of health workers is being conducted simultaneously to absorb them in the widening campaign. The longterm intention of the campaign is to precede communal action toward eliminating the conditions contributing to illness. Cairo alone plans to triple its safe drinking water supplies within a year and a heated debate is now taking place over proposals for rebuilding the city's aged sewage disposal system.

Treatment of urethral strictures in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital - Attah, Charles A.; Mbonu, O. O.; Anikwe, R.M. (Urology, 1982)
A review of 150 patients with urethral strictures treated over a period of seven years at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, showed that 83 per cent of the patients were treated with a form of bouginage. Recurrence rate among this group was 65 per cent as opposed to 44 per cent among the group treated with urethroplasty. About 40 per cent of the patients obtained good to excellent results, 26 per cent rather poor results, and the rest achieved fair results. Even though urethroplasty afforded the best results, bouginage, in spite of the high recurrence rate, should be encouraged in centers with limited facilities for urethroplasty.

Conceptual problems in nutrition education in Western Nigeria - Bankole, Naomi (Food Policy, 1982)
A pilot survey of the factors affecting infant feeding practices in rural Western Nigeria highlights intercultural perceptual problems. Results show widespread use of imported, high cost carbohydrate foods and great resistance to the early introduction of local health protective items. It is commonly thought that "too much food" is bad for a child. Staff responsible for health education are held in a degree of disrepute not conducive to the acceptance of their educational efforts in the community. Recommendations include control of advertising; reviewed staff orientation and training; and an intensive campaign to reestablish breast feeding as the cultural norm. No data is presented on feeding of fluids (breast milk, additional milk, boiled water and glucose in water) and nonfluids (imported carbohydrate, local carbohydrate, local protein and fruits and vegetables) based on the mother's estimate of the age of a baby shown in a photograph. Approximate market prices of imported commodities commonly used for infant feeding in the study area are also included.

The Factorial Structure of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Among Egyptian Students - Ibrahim, Abdul Sattar (The Journal of Psychology, 1982)
Summary The 80-item Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was given to 248 University students at Cairo University in order to study the factorial structure of this scale in Egypt. Principal factor analysis and varimax rotations of the 80 items and total scores of Psychoticism, Extraversion and Neuroticism yielded 10 factors, out of which eight are meaningful. These are: cultural responses, neuroticism, psychoticism, extraversion, physical complaints, paranoid hostility, adjustment, and manifest anxiety-tension. The general trend of the results indicates that Eysenck's personality factors are obtainable in spite of the fact that certain items deviate from the pattern found in the original scale.

In 1973, a sero-epidemiological survey was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of malaria along the Senegal river valley. More than 75 % of school children had antimalarial antibodies in their sera. This prevalence was independent of age and sex, and was found to be effectively high particularly in the regions of Gorgol and Guidimaka. These results may be considered exclusively as an indication to raise up, nevertheless, a general planning of malaria protection along the Senegal river.

Knowledge and breast-feeding practices among nurses and teachers in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. - Ojofeitimi, E.O.; Elegbe, I.; Ut, Etuknwa (PubMed, 1982)
A 17-item questionnaire was designed to elicit information on knowledge and practices of breastfeeding and time of introducing formula to infants among the professional nursing personnel of the University of Ife Teaching Hospitals Complex in Ile-Ife Nigeria. 155 questionnaires were distributed between January and May 1981. Female teachers were included to compare their responses with the nurses and to determine the most influential person in their decision to breastfeed. 80 questionnaires were randomly distributed to the teachers in Ile-Ife township. The data on length of breastfeeding among the 2 groups were statistically analyzed. Of the 155 questionnaires distributed to the nurses 89 or 57% were returned; 50 or 63% were received from the teachers. 77% of the mothers were older than age 25 and 89% were married. As expected the nurses were more knowledgeable than the teachers about the benefits of breastfeeding infants. 58% of the nurses breastfed their infants for 6 months or less and about 25% for 9 months 14% for 12 months and only 4% breastfed beyond 12 months. About 27% of the teachers breastfed for 6 months or less 46% for 9 months 19% for 12 months and 8% beyond 12 months. There was a significant difference in the length of breastfeeding between the 2 groups. 82% of the nurses and 80% of the teachers introduced infant formula to their babies before 1 month of age. About 62% of the nurses recommended 7-12 months of breastfeeding; 52% of the teachers recommended this time period. Nurses scored highest (44%) as being the most influential person to induce the teachers to breastfeed; medical doctors were most influential for only 6%. The major reason for early termination of breastfeeding among the nurses was inconvenience due to working hours.

Occupational and Educational Aspirations and Expectations of Kenyan Secondary School Students: realism and structural inequalities - Wellings, Paul (Educational review (Birmingham), 1982)
Abstract The severely pyramidical, academic and competitive nature of formal school education in Kenya has encouraged unrealistic and inappropriate student aspirations and expectations. Reorientation of these attitudes in the light of development priorities and the reality of the job and education markets is a major task confronting the country at present. This paper examines the current situation, summarising a recent research survey, and discusses prospects for future progress. The realism of aspirations and expectations is also shown to be related to inequalities in opportunity, a connection neglected in previous studies.

Pan-African volcano—sedimentary formations in the Adrar des Iforas (Mali) - Fabre, J. (Precambrian Research, 1982)
Late syn- and post-orogenic sedimentary rocks of Vendian and Cambrian age of the Adrar des Iforas are examined in an attempt to reconstruct paleogeographic evolution during the late Pan-African orogeny. The distribution of sedimentary facies from west to cast, involving deep-trough island arc, marginal cordillera, shallow sea and continental sedimentation, is consistent with the model of oceanic closure and collision between the West African craton and the Tuareg shield. There appears to be a continuum between flysch-type deposits and molassic rocks located along shear belts in the highly mobile western margin of the Tuareg shield but pre-Ordovician red beds in the central and western parts of the Tuareg shield may be slightly younger.

Sugar intake and weight and height of pupils of 16 years in South African ethnic groups - Walker, Alexander; Walker, B F; Jones, J. Miller; Walker, Caroline; Ncongwane, J (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1982)
In South African ethnic groups--Blacks. Indians, European-African-Malay, and whites--measurements were made on a total of 2037 pupils, aged 16 yr, of sugar intake, weight, and height. In the various subgroups there was no clear-cut trend for high sugar-consuming pupils (upper thirds), compared with low sugar-consuming pupils (lower thirds), to have greater mean weights and heights. presumably, high consumers of sugar eat less of nonsugar foods, and vice versa. In approximate gradings for habitual physical activity, a slight trend was apparent for those in upper thirds to have higher mean sugar intakes.

The development of seismic zones and the evaluation of lateral loadings for earthquake resistant design of buildings in Papua New Guinea - Jury, Rob; Hollings, J. P.; Fraser, Irene (Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1982)
The basis for modern earthquake resistant design can be considered to be a two stage process the objectives of which can be summarised as follows:

Provide the structure with sufficient strength and stiffness to resist moderate earthquakes so that the frequency of occurrence of structural and non-structural damage is acceptably low, and
Ensure that the probability of collapse of the structure and the risk to life in a severe earthquake is acceptably low.

The first stage can be satisfied by seismic zoning to ensure that the risk of damage to structures of similar structural type is acceptable and approximately uniform over the whole country and by restricting interstorey deflections under moderate earthquakes.
The second stage can be satisfied by the use of structural type factors.
In particular, this study explains how these principles were used to develop seismic zones and evaluate lateral loadings for Earthquake Resistant Design for Buildings in Papua New Guinea.

Medical education in action: community-based experience and service in Nigeria - Bollag, Ueli; Schmidt, Henk G.; Fryers, Tom; Lawani, J. (Medical Education, 1982)
Problem-based, student-centred learning at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Unilorin, Nigeria were incorporated in the overall objectives of producing students with a sense of service and a strong inclination toward broad community care and preventive medicine. The educational programme reflecting this concept was called COBES (community-based experience and service). Twice a year groups of between seven and fourteen students, each accompanied by two to three staff members, settled in a village or other community for 1 month. According to the Faculty's objectives, each group assessed the size of its community (population, areal map) at first. Malnutrition and infectious diseases were selected as the two health problems which were to be studied in depth during the first two COBES placements. Data were collected and analysed by the students from which deductions were made, and at the end of the placement a written report was required by the Faculty. Three learning situations and the experience gained from them by one group of students are reported: What was our community? The nutritional status of children, and Guinea-worm infection. The educational benefits of the programme are discussed and the view of the students is brought out. A correct assessment of students' performances proved difficult. Other problems were related to the experimental situation of COBES, such as insufficient support of the programme by some staff members, the lack of programme structure and logistical shortcomings. The COBES programme, however, set a pattern of medical education which specifically suits Nigerian needs and probably those of other African countries.

Primary school teachers' attitudes to current examination practices and their readiness for the proposed continuous assessment practice in the Nigerian school system - Ezewu, Edward E. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1982)
As part of their programme of educational reform, the several governments of Nigeria, federal and state, are advocating the introduction of continuous assessment in primary education. The study reported here finds that experienced and senior primary school teachers do indeed agree that a reform of current practices in assessment is needed. However, they appear unwilling to accept the extra work involved in continuous assessment. Dans le cadre de leur programme de réforme pédagogique, plusieurs gouvernements nigerians, féderaux aussi bien que central, préconisent l'introduction de la méthode de notation continue dans l'enseignement primaire. L'étude constate que beaucoup d'instituteurs expérimentés estiment indispensable une réforme des méthodes actuelles de notation. Ils ne semblent toutefois pas prêts à accpeter le supplément de travail entraîne par la méthode de notation continue. Como parte de su programa de reforma docente, los varios gobiernos de Nigeria, federal y de los estados, están abogando a introdución de asesoramiento continuo en la educación primaria. El estudio aquí reseñado halla que los maestros de escuelas primarias seniors y con experiencia desde luego confirman que es necesaria la reforma de las practicas de asesoramiento actuales. Pero, no parece que deseen aceptar el trabajo extra inherente al asesoramiento continuo.

Funding Water Pollution Control in South Africa - Lusher, J A (Water science & technology, 1982)
Water pollution control in South Africa is discussed from the point of view of cost and available sources of revenue. It is shown how state interests in water are generated and how the present system of water pollution control is derived from this. An example concerning the mineralisation of the water resources of the central Transvaal industrial area is used to illustrate social cost. The position of local authorities with regard to income and expenditure on water-based services is examined in detail. The role of the State in these matters is determined. The conclusions drawn from the survey and a discussion of the elementary theory of water price are used to construct a motivation for a tax system, designed to curb pollution and to reimburse major water purchasers.

A study of past major earthquakes in southern Ghana using intensity data - Quaah, Amos Ofori (Tectonophysics, 1982)
Past damaging earthquakes in southern Ghana have been studied by means of available intensity and instrumental data. The results indicate that intensity attenuation in southern Ghana is generally low. The trend of the isoseismals seem to be related to the geology of the area. Results of the relocation of the earthquakes suggest that those located solely by teleseismically recorded arrival times may be in error by several tens of kilometres. Estimates of expected maximum accelerations at various epicentral distances have been made for use as design criteria for structures built in the region.

Strontium isotopes in Cenozoic volcanic rocks from southeastern Papua New Guinea - Smith, I. E.; Compston, W. (Lithos, 1982)
Strontium isotope data are presented from 28 rock samples representing four distinct episodes of late Cenozoic volcanism in southeastern Papua. Eocene tholeiitic basalts have initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7037) which are higher than those in chemically comparable basalts and are thought to have been enhanced by rock-sea water interaction. Late Cenozoic are trench type volcanoes in the Papuan islands have initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios which show little variation (0.7041±2) in contrast to those from the contiguous Papua New Guinea mainland (0.7036-0.7054). This isotopic discontinuity does not appear to be due to contamination by immediately underlying sialic metamorphics. High-K trachytes in the Lusancay Islands north of the late Cenozoic are have comparable initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios. Wide variation (0.703-0.710) in the initial ratios measured in a group of apparently closely related rocks ranging in composition from transitional basalt to peralkaline rhyolite cannot be explained by differences in age or by late magmatic fractionation and continue to pose an enigma.

Management of Urethral Injuries in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital - Attah, Charles A.; Mbonu, O. O.; Anikwe, R.M. (The Journal of Urology, 1982)
A plea is made for diversion of urine by suprapubic cystostomy as initial treatment in clinically established urethral injury. When early retrograde urethrography is not possible this study should be done between 3 and 6 weeks after injury, when infection or extravasation of urine at the injured site might have cleared. The quality of x-ray at this time is good and helps to determine the definitive treatment of the resultant stricture, if any. Good results were achieved in 32 patients treated along these guidelines. Poor results were achieved in 13 additional patients treated initially with interlocking sounds, even though the nature of the injury could have contributed partly to the bad result.

The El Asnam, Algeria, earthquake of 10 October 1980: Multiple-source mechanism determined from long-period records - Deschamps, A.; Gaudemer, Y.; Cisternas, A. (Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1982)
abstract We present a study of the El Asnam, Algeria, earthquake of 10 October 1980 from a large collection of long-period surface and body wave records. The focal mechanism of the main shock is well constrained by the P-wave first motions at teleseismic distances and field observations: it was a thrust event on a plane striking N45°E, and a dip angle of 54° to the north. It had a small component of left-lateral motion (λ = 83°) (Ouyed et al., 1981; Gaudemer et al., 1981). This earthquake was very well recorded on WWSSN stations and on GDSN and IDA digital stations, with a good azimuthal distribution. From these records, we confirm the focal solution and obtain a seismic moment Mo = 5 × 1026 dyne-cm. The P-wave seismograms indicate a complex source. We show that it is not sufficient to model the source by a multiple event, but it is also necessary to include a propagation effect in order to explain accurately the waveform. With assumptions based on field observation of the surface breaks, we model the P waves, including two discontinuities of the propagation, along the fault plane and obtain a good agreement of the waveform.

EDUCATION ABOUT AGING FOR NIGERIAN ADOLESCENTS - Adejumo, Dayo (Educational Gerontology, 1982)
Abstract This study reports an investigation of the perceptions of Nigerian adolescents concerning problems of different classes of older adults in Nigeria. A sample of 1,063 students from secondary schools and universities completed a questionnaire about adult life in Nigeria. Results show that the primary sources of information about aging are personal observation and instructions from community elders, friends, and peer groups. It was also found that both the educated and illiterate aged in elite communities are perceived to have more serious problems. Of the students surveyed, 55% prefer to grow old in traditional communities. It is suggested that aging education be provided in secondary schools and universities so that students may acquire adequate knowledge of problems and issues affecting older adult life.

Restoration of functionally impaired and degenerated sympathetic nerves in guinea-pig uterus following pregnancy - Alm, Per; Owman, Ch.; Rosengren, E.; Sjöberg, Nils‐Otto; Thorbert, G. (Brain Research Bulletin, 1982)
The uterus is supplied with an extensive system of adrenergic nerves. The neurobiological properties of this innervation have been investigated using the guinea-pig as a model. The guinea-pig uterus is supplied from three different sources: from the paracervical plexus, containing short adrenergic neurons, from the inferior mesentric ganglion, and from a cranial source, probably the aortico-renal plexus, via nerves in the uterine suspensory ligaments. The nerve density is higher in the tubal end of the uterine horn and in the cervix than in the main part of the uterine horn. The levels of norepinephrine in the uterus are severely reduced in the course of pregnancy. The process of restoration of the uterine sympathetic transmitter following parturition has been elucidated by measurements of tissue norepinephrine in various uterine regions of guinea-pigs at four time intervals until six months post partum. The tubal end of the uterine horn showed no signs of altered sympathetic nerve function. In fact, this region of the uterine horn is the only part that appears unaffected by pregnancy. In the cervix the transmitter content was restored early, within one week post partum. Also in the sterile uterine horn (in case of previous unilateral pregnancy) the levels of the time-matched controls were reached, though this did not occur until about six months after delivery. In the previously fetus-containing (contralateral) uterine horn the restoration was very incomplete and there is reason to believe that this severe impairment of the adrenergic nerve plexus following a pregnancy is permanent. This would mean that the sympathetic innervation supplying the uterus before the first pregnancy does not represent a final stage of development, and that a “normal” degree of adrenergic innervation in the uterus is not established until after one pregnancy. The changes in the heart, which was used as control tissue, were restricted to those associated with the weight increase, reflecting the usual relationship between the sympathetic nerve plexus and volume of the target organ.

A Health Education Approach to Training Village Health Workers in Nigeria - Brieger, William R.; Akpovi, Samuel U. (The International Quarterly of Community Health Education, 1982)
Health education plays an important role in the primary health care process, particularly in the training of village health workers. Three educational concepts, training based on community felt needs, trainee involvement and social and cultural realism, are essential in designing these programs. These concepts were applied over a three year period in the training of village health caretakers in Idere town of Oyo State, Nigeria. Volunteer village health workers from ten villages were able to bring about changes in knowledge, behaviour and health status of their fellow villagers indicating that the health education approach fostered skill transfer to the communities.

Self-reported drug use among secondary school students in two rapidly developing Nigerian towns. - Nevadomsky, Joseph (PubMed, 1982)
A 32-item standardized multiple-choice and open-ended questionnaire was completed by nearly 500 male and female secondary school students in two rapidly developing Nigerian towns. About two thirds of the students reported some exposure to alcohol, and about one quarter reported some experience with tobacco. There was much less use of caffeine, methaqualone in combination with diphenhydramine, 2-ethylamino-3-phenylorcamphane in combination with vitamins, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, cannabis and dexamphetamine. Many students fell into the "past use" category. Parents were extremely disapproving of the use of almost any drug. Many students supported stronger penalties for the use of cannabis. Non-users claimed that drugs were dangerous to health. In addition, religious beliefs were associated with abstinence from drugs.

Structure, gravity models and stratigraphy of an early Proterozoic volcanic—sedimentary belt in northeastern Ghana - Attoh, Kodjopa (Precambrian Research, 1982)
The structure of an early Proterozoic volcanic—sedimentary belt in northeastern Ghana is inferred from the distribution of lithologic units and interpretation of Bouguer gravity anomaly associated with the belt. It is shown from gravity modelling that the vertical thickness (depth) of the volcanic—sedimentary succession is ca. 3 km and that the structure of the western part of the belt is an overturned anticline, an interpretation consistent with facing data. This structure provides the basis from which the stratigraphic order of the mapped lithic units is deduced: (1) fine-grained epiclastic sediments interbedded with minor felsic tuffs, followed by (2) tholeiitic basaltic lavas, which are overlain by (3) calc-alkaline andesitic and dacitic lavas and tuffs; the youngest volcanic unit belonging to the sequence is a calc-alkaline mafic tuff (4). A manganese-rich chemical sediment is preserved at the boundary between the tholeiitic mafic lava and calc-alkaline intermediate volcanic rock units. The early Proterozoic sequence, which is unconformably overlain by coarse fluviatile sediments, is estimated to be ca. 8500 m thick. The stratigraphic sequence in the study area contrasts strongly with the conceptual stratigraphic schemes which are currently held to be valid for similar lithologic associations of early Proterozoic age (Birimian) in the West African shield.

The education crisis in South Africa: Restructuring the policy discourse - Buckland, Peter (Social Dynamics, 1982)
This paper examines three key education policy reports which emerged during the public debate over the ‘education crisis’ in South Africa in the early 1980s. The paper argues that the rhetoric of crisis and these particular discourses must be seen as part of the general restructuring of ideological discourse accompanying the process of state reconstruction necessitated by the escalating class struggle and challenges to continued capital accumulation which became particularly apparent in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The discourses reflect both the search for a new reformist consensus on education policy and the conflicts within the state over the most appropriate form of this consensus. The decline of the public debate over education policy suggests that these discourses have been successful in eliciting some consent for limited reformism among the audiences at whom they were directed. And accordingly, public attention has moved on to other conjunctual aspects of the process of state reconstruction ‐ such as ‘manpower’ and constitutional issues.

The Sensitivity of the African-Asian Monsoonal Climate to Orbital Parameter Changes for 9000 Years B.P. in a Low-Resolution General Circulation Model - Kutzbach, John E.; Otto‐Bliesner, Bette L. (Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1982)
The earth's orbital parameters, precession, obliquity and eccentricity, produce solar radiation differences (compared to present) of ∼7% at the solstices 9000 years before present (B.P.): more radiation in June-July-August, less in December-January-February. When this amplified seasonal cycle of solar radiation is used to drive a low-resolution general circulation model, an intensified monsoon circulation is simulated for Northern Hemisphere summer. The annual- and global-average land surface temperature and the annual- and global-average precipitation are the same for the simulated 9000 years B.P. climate and the present climate. Certain features of the simulated monsoon climate from this orbital-parameter sensitivity experiment agree with the paleoclimatic evidence.

A prevalence survey of lower limb motor disorders in school-age children in Niger and an estimation of poliomyelitis incidence. - Mc, Thuriaux (PubMed, 1982)
An investigation of lower limb motor disorders among school-age children in Niger has shown a prevalence rate of seven per thousand in this age group. Sequelae of poliomyelitis, the major group among these disorders, show no significant difference according to sex or to school attendance status. Eight per cent of children suffering from poliomyelitis sequelae are unable to work and a further eight per cent need crutches or other aids. Patient histories indicate that over 90% of cases occurred before the child's fourth birthday. Extrapolation from the observed data indicate a tentative annual incidence rate for paralytic poliomyelitis in the order of 45 per 100,000, a figure seven to ten times higher than the figures gathered from routine notifications of poliomyelitis in Niger. The total number of those unable to walk unaided among children under 15 can be estimated in 1981 at 1600, half of whom are unable to walk at all. Trauma to peripheral nerves after intramuscular injections, usually of quinine salts, is second only to poliomyelitis as a cause of lower limb motor disorders.

A study of drug abuse in a group of South African university students. - Am, Simon (PubMed, 1982)
Seventeen informal interviews and 1597 questionnarie responses provided an investigation of drug abuse in a group of South African students. Legal problems in South Africa make research of drug abuse (and indeed many other areas of social relations), particularly interviewing, extremely hazardous and therefore uncommon. Not surprisingly, in view of this, the interviews revealed findings inconsistent with the questionnaire data in many areas. Indeed, the informal technique demonstrated the need for more personal research in this field rather than grouped data questionnaires, the latter being seemingly responsible for the myth of the stereotypic drug taker.

An evaluation of a workshop on educational methods for health science teachers in Lagos, Nigeria - Bamisaiye, A.; Akpata, E.S. (Medical Education, 1982)
A workshop on educational methods held at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos in 1980 was evaluated by means of questionnaires. The workshop was favourably received and enhanced the teaching practices of participants. As a result of the workshop, most participants wrote instructional objectives, used more audiovisual aids and adopted new methods of teaching and assessment of clinical skills. Although the session on the production of self-instructional packages (SIPs) was rated highly at the workshop, relatively few participants had completed a programmed text at time of follow-up. Similarly, most participants had set MCQs but few had calculated either the facility or discrimination index. The participants themselves suggested that future workshops should be tailored to the particular educational needs of different disciplines. The authors suggest that intensive short-term workshops may be useful for content areas which require more time than an extensive workshop permits.

Family size intentions and attitudes to contraception: Australian and Papua New Guinean high school youth - Callan, Victor J.; Wilks, Jeffrey (Australian journal of sex, marriage, and family, 1982)
SynopsisThree hundred and twenty-nine Australian and 281 Papua New Guinean high school students completed a questionnaire which apped their family size intentions and knowledge and attitudes to contraception. Australian male and female students and Papua New Guinean females had mean family size intentions of less than 3 children, while Papua New Guinean males were most likely to want 4 or more children. Students in both countries had positive attitudes toward the use of contraception, especially as a method of preventing further pregnancies after attaining desired family size. Despite the intentions of Papua New Guinean youth to have small families and their positive attitudes toward the use of contraception, it was concluded that relatively high fertility in Papua New Guinea would be maintained until the economic role of children had declined.

Some family problems associated with the presence of a child with handicap in Nigeria - Enwemeka, Chukuka S.; Adeghe, Noel U. (Child: Care, Health and Development, 1982)
The problems presented in 53 families by the presence of handicapped children arising from cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis, Erb's palsy, talipes, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and trauma, were studied in Benin City, Nigeria. Among other things, most fathers were found to be indifferent to their handicapped children and there was a highly significant difference in attitude between educated and enlightened fathers of handicapped children, and their barely educated counterparts. A statistically significant proportion of handicapped children were prevented from going to school because of their disabilities and in half of the families studied, occasional squabbles arose because of the presence of a handicapped child. It is suggested that Nigeria and similar developing countries should lay emphasis on health education in their on-going primary health care schemes.

Moral Education or Indoctrination in South Africa? A Brief Response to Potgieter - Lawrence, Michael S. (Journal of Moral Education, 1982)
Abstract This paper is a brief and informal response to Professor P. C. Potgieter's paper Moral Education in South Africa which appeared in the January 1980 edition of this Journal (Vol. 9 No. 2, pp. 130‐3). In response to Potgieter the author attempts to present some of the more obvious philosophical and sociological inconsistencies and problems appearing in Potgieter's paper. He concludes, basically, that Potgieter has assumed a marked consensual model of South African society and, therefore, his analysis serves only to misinform the reader as to the complexities of moral education in South Africa.

Obstetric problems in the adolescent Zambian mother studied at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka. - Wadhawan, Sonia; Rk, Narone; Jn, Narone (PubMed, 1982)
The Obstetric performance of teenage primigravida aged 12-15 years was studied retrospectively and analysed in the local population attending the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka. The leading Obstetric complications were cephalo-pelvic disproportion (3.6%) and acute toxeamia (2.2%). The caesarean section rate (7.5%) and operative vaginal delivery rate (11%) were both high. There was one maternal death due to Obstetric shock. The rates for prematurity (154/1,000), still births (30.8/1000), and neonatal death (101.9/1,000) were increased. Perinatal mortality rate was 123/1,000. The incidence of pregnancy between 12-15 years was 1.2%. Overall incidence of teenage pregnancy (12-19 years) was 22.5% and parity of 5 was observed at the age of 18 and 19. The study concluded that early teenage pregnancy carried obstetrical risks and was associated with a high perinatal loss.

Influence of Training and Anabolic Steroids on the LDH Isozyme Pattern of Skeletal and Heart Muscle Fibers of Guinea Pigs - Weicker, H.; Hägele, Holger; Repp, Birgit; Kolb, Jon C. (International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1982)
The influence of training and anabolic steroids (methandrostenolone) on the enzyme activity of the LDH system was investigated in 72 male guinea pigs. Sedentary animals and animals subjected to two different training regimens with and without anabolic steroids were compared in six groups each consisting of 12 guinea pigs. The training was performed on a rodent treadmill for 1 month, 30 min/day at an inclination of 45 degrees or 5 degrees, and at a speed of 30 m/min. Total LDH, its isozymes, and the composition of M and H subunits were determined enzymatically and by electrophoretical separation on cellulose acetate membrane in the following muscle fiber types; m. vastus lateralis white (FG) and red portion (FOG), m. soleus (SO), m. psoas major white (FG) and red portion (FOG), and in the left ventricle of the heart. The administration of anabolic steroids did not change the activity of total LDH or the composition of M and H subunits in sedentary animals. Exercise at 5 degrees inclination significantly reduced the total LDH and the concentration of H subunits in FOG, SO, and heart muscle fibers but not in FG muscle fibers. The additional application of anabolic steroids intensified these changes and also reduced the total LDH and the H subunit in FG as well as the M subunit in FOG, SO, and heart muscle fibers. After exercise at 45 degrees inclination with and without the application of anabolic steroids, the activity of LDH and its isozymes was identical to the values obtained in untrained animals but significantly higher than after the training at 5 degrees inclination. The typing of FG, FOG, and SO muscle fibers by the LDH isozyme pattern was not satisfactory, especially for the discrimination between FOG and SO fibers but also between FG and FOG fibers of muscle with different anatomic functions both in sedentary and trained animals.

A study of the effectiveness of the primary education improvement program (science) in selected schools of Northern Nigeria - Brown, Desmond P.; Reed, Jack (Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982)
Abstract The Primary Education Improvement Program (Science) developed in Nigeria from 1970–1980 adopted a “process approach” to the teaching of science for children in Classes One and Two of primary school. In that insufficient formative data were available a study was organized to evaluate the attainment of the program's major objectives in terms of the children's ability to practice process skills. The study also attempted to measure children's interest, active participation and understanding of the lessons, as well as the availability of materials and ease of preparing and teaching the lessons for the teachers. Data were collected by means of teacher opinionnaires and a children's test to measure the attainment of process skills. The teachers who completed the opinionnaires rated the program as successful in terms of all the measured criteria. Children in the experimental and control groups were tested and their performances were compared. The results indicated that there were some significant differences in total test scores in favor of the experimental group after one year of primary school but none after two years. The program, though highly rated by teachers, did not produce the intended changes in children's behavior.

Changes in Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) Feeding Related to Endosulfan Pollution from Tsetse Fly Control Operations in the Okavango Delta, Botswana - Liu, Xingyuan; Liang, Tiangang; Guo, Zheng-gang; Zhang, Xuetong (Journal of Applied Ecology, 1982)
Based on the analysis of animal husbandry production and of distribution characteristics of snow disaster in northern Xinjiang, and by using RS and GIS techniques and field survey data, 9 early warning factors were selected from the three subsystems of grassland' s disaster-resistant capability, livestock's disaster-bearing capacity, and disaster-causing potential, and the death rate of livestock caused by snow disaster was used as a factor of risk assessment. An index system of snow disaster' s early warning and risk assessment for completely grazing grassland was established, and the early warning model of snow disaster, its distinguishing model, and risk assessment model were built by using multi-hierarchical synthetic and multi-objective linear weight function methods to predict the resistant capability of grassland and livestock against snow disaster, and to assess the potential risk loss from snow disaster in northern Xinjiang. The accuracy of the early warning model and risk assessment model was 85% and 72% , respectively.

Contrasting patterns of caries profile and dental treatment in pupils of 16–18 years in South African ethnic groups - Walker, Alexander; Dison, E.; Walker, B. F.; Segal, Arlene F. (Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1982)
Abstract Investigations on caries profile and state of teeth treatment were made on 3752 high school pupils of 16–18 years, namely, rural and urban Black, Indian, Colored (Eur‐African‐Malay) and White pupils. Rural Blacks had a low mean DMFT of about 2, and a caries‐free prevalence of 52%. Of the few with affected teeth, 10% were extracted, none filled, and 90% decayed; i.e. restorative dental attention was virtually nil. Among English and Afrikaans pupils attending Government Schools, mean DMFT was about 10, and caries‐free prevalence negligible. Of affected teeth, 13% were extracted, 59% filled and 28% decayed. The situations regarding the urban Black, Indian and Colored groups were intermediate. The Jewish pupils, well‐circumstanced and attending private schools, had a mean DMFT of 6.5, moreover 6% were caries‐free. Of affected teeth, 1% had been extracted; 93% were filled, and only 6% remained decayed. Since it transpired that the diets of the three White subgroups, cariogenically, were much the same, the advantageous position of the Jewish pupils was judged to be due primarily to their excellent oral hygiene motivation, particularly their demonstrably regular visits to dentists.

ON THE USE OF AN INDIGENOUS MODEL FOR TEACHING ENGLISH IN NIGERIA - Ekong, Pamela (World Englishes, 1982)
Recent changes in social, political and educational direction within Nigeria have given rise to the need to define and describe a standard variety of Nigerian spoken English (NSE) for use as a teaching model. Old models, which existed in the form of large numbers of native English‐speaking teachers, are no longer present in the country. The functions of the English language have changed and urban drift has led to the development of new varieties of spoken English. There is now a need for a new model, relevant to and attainable by the present Nigerian learner of English, for use in the schools as well as by society at large. A variety of English taken from within the local environment can meet this need.

Copper pollution studies in lakes George and Edward, Uganda: The distribution of Cu, Cd and Fe in the water and sediments - Bugenyi, F. W. B. (Environmental Pollution Series B, Chemical and Physical, 1982)
The need for baseline data on heavy metal pollution in general—and copper pollution in particular—of the aquatic biota of Lakes George and Edward, Uganda, arose when it was realised that the growing copper mining industry (at Kilembe in Western Uganda) uses the water system as a ‘natural sink’ for mining waste products. A study with a number of objectives was proposed, the first of which is completed and reported here. Baseline information was required on the copper pollution of a fishery resource—Tilapia nilotica species—important in the area both for food and as a source of income for the local people. The lakes have different physico-geographical characteristics and, as a result, they portray quite different water quality characteristics. The concentration levels of the metals copper, iron and cadmium in each of the water bodies do not show much variation, but are distinct in the different water bodies, with Lake George having more Cu ions in the water and surface sediment than Lake Edward. The latter has more total dissolved organics than Lake George, and these (together with other limnological parameters) play an important rôle in influencing the concentration levels of the trace metals.

The Infusion of African Cultural Elements in Language Learning: A Modular Approach - Clark, Beatrice Stith (Foreign Language Annals, 1982)
Abstract During the academic year 1979–80, Hampton Institute, along with four other colleges and universities of Black heritage, infused Afro‐French and Afro‐Hispanic cultural materials into introductory French and Spanish courses. Fifteen modules were developed and taught by selected staff from Howard University, University of the District of Columbia, Morgan State University, and Morehouse College. This curriculum project was made possible by a grant to Hampton Institute from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The premise of the approach is that Black collegians will appreciate more fully the value and relevance of their foreign language classroom experience through an introduction to the cultures of Black hispanophone and francophone peoples of Africa and the Diaspora. These modular curriculum materials are also perceived as a means of orienting students at the college level to non‐European francophone and hispanophone cultures. Although the data already gathered is not conclusive, there are strong indications that the use of these cultural materials motivated students in their study of foreign languages and contributed to the development of their global perspectives. It is anticipated that these materials will be published, and that further field‐testing will take place through additional funding.

Drug abuse among secondary school students in Kenya: a preliminary survey. - Dhadphale, M; Hn, Mengech; Syme, David; Sw, Acuda (PubMed, 1982)
In this paper the authors describe the results of a preliminary survey on the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol by secondary school students in Kenya. Out of 4450 students requested to complete the questionnaire 2870 (63%) responded. The results confirm the anecdotal reports that drug abuse may be prevalent among these groups. It is recommended that a more detailed study should be carried out not only to establish the prevalence but also to investigate possible causes attitudes of the students and their parents and the community towards drug abuse with a view of identifying preventive measures.

Geochemistry of the volcanic island of Annobon, Gulf of Guinea - Liotard, Jean-Michel; Dupuy, C.; Dostál, J.; Cornen, G. (Chemical Geology, 1982)
Abstract Annobon Island in the Gulf of Guinea is composed predominantly of volcanic rocks of alkali character ranging from basanites to trachytes. The most primitive rocks, basanites, were probably formed by variable degrees of melting of a single upper-mantle source, previously enriched in incompatible trace elements. The more differentiated rocks could have been derived from basanitic magma by fractional crystallization mainly involving kaersutite, clinopyroxene and plagioclase. It seems that, overall, there are no obvious differences in alkali basalt sequences from oceanic and continental environments.

Comparative sedimentology of the principal volcanic sequences of Archean greenstone belts in South Africa, Western Australia and Canada: Implications for crustal evolution - Lowe, Donald R. (Precambrian Research, 1982)
Significantly different assemblages of sedimentary rocks are present in the volcanic sequences of Archean greenstone belts in the Barberton Mountain Land, Pilbara block and Canadian shield. Thin sedimentary layers in the 3.55-3.3 Ga-old Onverwacht and Warrawoona Groups in the Barberton Mountain Land and eastern Pilbara, respectively, are made up of silicified volcaniclastic sediments, banded cherts, carbonaceous cherts, silicified evaporites, and locally, stromatolites deposited under shallow-water, anorogenic conditions. The volcanic sequences in these belts essentially lack terrigenous debris derived by weathering and erosion, Algoma-type iron formation, volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, hyaloclastic breccias, and evidence for the existence during their accumulation of older sialic basement. Sedimentary rocks in the volcanic sequences of the 2.8-2.6 Ga-old Superior and Slave Provinces, Canada, and perhaps in other late Archean belts in the Rhodesian craton and Yilgarn block, include generally unsilicified volcaniclastic units, mafic hyaloclastic breccias, terrigenous clastic layers, abundant Algoma-type iron formation, and massive sulfide deposits. Sedimentation took place under relatively deep-water conditions. Local tectonic activity was widespread, and older sialic basement was present. These younger volcanic sequences contain few shallow-water deposits such as carbonaceous cherts, evaporites, and stromatolites. The volcanic sequences of both generations of greenstone belts seem to have formed platforms that stood topographically above the surrounding sea floor. Differences between older and younger greenstone-belt volcanic sequences appear to reflect the increasing abundance and influence of sialic crust from early to late Archean time and an accompanying increase in ocean-water depth over the volcanic platforms. Evolution of the sialic crust can be traced through at least five Archean and early Proterozoic stages: (1) an early period of ensimatic, shallow-water greenstone belt formation 3.55-3.3 Ga ago; (2) an early episode of intrusive and metamorphic activity from ca. 3.3-2.9 Ga ago during which some of the older greenstone belts were cratonized; (3) a late period of greenstone belt formation, 2.8-2.6 Ga ago, during which volcanism occurred under relatively deep-water conditions upon and/or adjacent to areas of older sialic basement; (4) a late Archean interval of continental crust formation during which the younger greenstone belts were cratonized, 2.7-2.5 Ga ago; (5) a latest Archean and early Proterozoic period dominated by stable cratons and relatively minor greenstone belt activity.

The problem of the match - cognitive transition between early childhood and primary school: Nigeria - Haglund, Elaine (Journal of Developing Areas, 1982)
symbolism. Review of Growth-Fostering Environments. Informal education is perhaps humankind's most pedagogically sound approach to learning. Nevertheless, to familiarize children with the world in terms of the twentieth-century knowledge explosion demands proficiency in the shorthand of language-the written wordwhich makes possible more efficient information storage and retrieval. A tiny chip of this great universe, say a chromosome, contains within it unbelievable complexity and order. A living cell with its intricate interactions of molecules and atoms, and electrons, protons ... forms a micro-universe no less complex and infinite in its smallness than is the macro-universe in its bigness. ... Indeed, what hope can there be for teaching these intricacies only by example or by memory techniques?'6 Reading skills and a predisposition for inquiry are absolutely essential, then, for competency in today's approach to information processing. Unless children are prepared for reading, schooling may constitute education for frustration rather than fulfillment. Cognitive development has been examined in terms of the environment in which it is most likely to flourish-one that is nutritionally sound and one in which concrete objects, image-evoking experiences, and verbal interactions with adults occur regularly in a supportive rather than authoritarian atmosphere. In view of this information, it is evident that Nigerian children are given ample opportunity, especially in early infancy, for many growth-fostering activities. If the of the match is to be solved, however, informal learning must include various characteristics, as suggested in points 5 through 7 of Caldwell's growth-fostering model discussed previously. Proficiency in language-readiness skills is absolutely necessary before a child confronts the school's thrust of abstract symbols of letters and numerals. To achieve this, parents must provide an environment rich in sensory stimuli and must emphasize it through individualized conversation between parents and child, especially between the ages of three to six. Rather than simply teaching by example, parents must encourage children to ask a variety of questions, and parents' interaction with their youngsters must be regular, playful, and, above all, supportive rather than punitive. It is through the combined input of objects, experiences, and verbal interaction that children learn to perceive new, different, and more efficient aspects of increasingly complex situations. Thus, to develop the skills preliminary to conThis content downloaded from 157.55.39.249 on Wed, 03 Aug 2016 05:53:53 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms Problem of the Match: Nigeria 87 ceptualization and problem solving, the child should experience hearing language through conversation, storytelling, and reading stories; seeing language through pictures and writing; manipulating a wide range of concrete objects; attempting various tasks relating to counting and sorting of shapes, colors, and textures; and speaking with and responding both to adults and to children as a result of these experiences. Parents interested in further enhancing their children's environment should provide their youngsters with access to simple homemade diagrams, dioramas, globes, codes of all types, geometric cards or three-dimensional manipulative blocks, models, traceable design sheets, schematic maps, jigsaw puzzles, and construction toys, all of which play a significant role in cognitive development, such as learning laterality and directionality for left-right orientation in reading English. Tracing designs and drawing free-hand pictures offer training in visualmotor coordination and at the same time familiarize children with writing instruments for purposes of dexterity. Children also should be encouraged to playact, to tell their own creative stories, or to finish incomplete stories started by adults. Perhaps one of the most valuable experiences is for a parent to assist a child in creating his or her own storybook by dictating a story to an adult or an older student; the child can later accompany it with original illustrations. Indeed, according to some authorities, children should not be required to read a book until they have made their own-the language experience approach to reading. If, in fact, Nigeria seriously expects to accomplish its goal of universal literacy, then policymakers must acknowledge and act upon the findings of a growing body of research that indicate that about 50 percent of children's aptitudes are already set at the age of 4 and approximately 33 percent of a child's scholastic attainment profile is already fixed by the time youngsters begin their first year of primary school.27 The preschool years must be viewed as a period of transition as well as of tradition; anything less represents a deficit model in terms of the basic premises of language-cognition processes and abilities, a summary of which follows in the form of a paraphrased Piagetian primer. Mental development is influenced by various inter-related factors, four of which are particularly germane to this discussion: * Experience-the handling, moving, and thinking about concrete objects, and thinking through processes involving them; * Social interaction-the playing, talking, and working with both children and adults; * Organization-the building of simpler processes-seeing, touching, naming, and so forth-into higher order mental structures; * Adaptation-the continuing change that occurs in an individual as a result of his/her interaction with the environment.2 What is being suggested here is greater parent involvement and, ideally, expanded provision of more formalized preschool education in Nigeria. The idea may appear revolutionary in its effects, virtually the preparation of a new human being. Nevertheless, in many countries, not more than a few years ago, it was also considered radical to send young girls to school, a change that has necessarily involved a moderate adjustment but not the cultural upheaval that some had predicted. John Stuart Mill observed a century ago, Conventional minds are good equipment for conventional times, but, as Hanson reminds us: These are anything but conventional times in Africa. What Africa needs today is unconventional minds capable of finding unconventional answers to problems certain to stagger any but the most imaginative.

Mother tongue teaching and the acquisition of Dutch by Turkish and Moroccan immigrant workers’ children - Altena, Nelleke; Appel, René (Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1982)
Abstract In 1977, an experimental school for Turkish and Moroccan children was started in Leyden (Holland). The school had the characteristics of a transitional bilingual school. During the first year, the children's respective mother tongues were used as the medium of instruction about 75% of the time, and for the second year, about 40%. After two years, the foreign children went to regular schools in their neighbourhoods. This paper presents results of the research on the oral and written second language proficiency of the children who participated in the experimental school model. The results support the claim that mother tongue teaching does not harm or hinder second‐language acquisition.

Parallelisms in traditional African system of music education and Orff Schulwerk - Amoaku, William Komla (African Music: Journal of the International Library of African Music, 1982)
The acquisition of musical knowledge or, for that matter, any knowledge in any society is guided by a variety of factors prescribed by the life styles of the society as a homogeneous unit. There are as many distinct life-styles as there are societies and the norms and parameters that govern them are also greatly diverse. However, scholarship has shown that in spite of such diversities as may be encountered in the life-styles of the worlds peoples, there are certain often unsuspected underlying similarities in patterns of behavior. Based on the foregoing observation, therefore, it is neither unrealistic nor farfetched to propose that there are possible parallelisms in the traditional African system of acquiring musical knowledge and the system developed by the prolific German composer and teacher, Dr. Carl Orff. Although scores of documentary evidence have established differences between traditional African and European systems of education, it is necessary to reiterate them here in order to make my discussion meaningful.

Serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in african schoolchildren living near or very far from school - Ar, Walker; Walker, B. F.; Mngomezulu, Q.N. (Atherosclerosis, 1982)
In African populations, coronary heart disease (CHD) is rare. Serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, negatively associated with CHD, understandably are significantly higher in African children and adults, compared with their White counterparts. On enquiring into the role of physical activity, observations at 3 rural African schools showed that children of 10–12 years, who regularly walked long distances attending school (average about 10 km daily) had only slightly (although significantly) elevated mean HDL cholesterol levels, compared with groups who lived near by. It is considered that the diet of pupils (inter alia, having low fat and high fibre contents), associated with the high level of activity which prevails generally, share responsibility for their high HDL cholesterol levels.
