- Description:
- The general health status including reproductive health of every adult of reproductive age alive today has already been determined to a large extent by the quality of the nutritional environment from his or her conception through infancy, childhood and adolescence to his or her present age. The effects of intrauterine malnutrition can persist throughout life. Poor feeding practices during the first 2 years of life have immediate and often long-term negative consequences on growth and development. Poor nutrition during the growing years affects growth and development potential, while nutritional stress during adolescence and the reproductive years affects the health of especially women and consequently, the next generation. There are critical periods at the different stages in the life cycle, during which specific nutrient deprivations result in irreversible damage, which limit the full growth and functional potential of the individual. This paper discusses the role of nutrition in human development from conception to reproductive age, highlighting the negative effects of nutritional deprivation during the process. Since life begins at conception, and the female is responsible for ensuring that a full-term, healthy, viable infant is born and adequately fed to maturity, attention will be drawn to recommended feeding and dietary needs of women that would break the cycle of poor health and nutrition that passes on from generation to generation.

- Description:
- This article argues that communication is the manifestation of the cultural norms of society and that, through its presentations, the culture of a people is reinforced, new patterns are created within it and, sometimes, modifications are made to its existing norms. It examines different aspects of the cultural content of communication and proposes the need to adopt a view of communication which recognizes the systems and processes of the past along with on-going ones with the view to adopting a more perceptive policy for the continent. It concludes that a dualist approach, the diachionic-synchronic, is necessary now in order to overcome the problems examined.
