5625. Developmental implications of early mortality factors in Nigeria

Description:
Past empirical findings about early mortality factors in Nigeria are examined within a proximate determinants framework. This shows that higher parental income and higher density of modem health facilities constitute the combination of factors most likely to bring about sustained reductions in early mortality levels. Evidence relating to various areas of the country do not, on the whole, show up maternal education as the primary early mortality reducing factor that it is acclaimed to be in other developing areas. The need to focus on the fundamental problem of raising general living standards rather than the pursuit of "short-cut" solutions to higher early mortality risks is implied.

5629. AIDS, the individual, family and community

Description:
This article examines the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on individuals, families and communities within Africa. The author notes that AIDS presents a challenge to the helping professions to provide a meaningful response to some of the serious psychosocial issues involved. These issues include depersonalisation of those affected by the virus; a tendency towards over-identification and "burnout" on the part of the helper, fears of contagion, dying and death and a sense of helplessness and anger. Social isolation, stigmatisation and rejection may lead to further undesirable negative consequences for those with HIV/AIDS. Extending from the psychological and social implications of the disease, the article then examines some of the socioeconomic effects, including the loss of the most active and skilled category of the workforce. The article examines relevant ethical issues and considers how special education and community programmes can help in reducing the spread of the disease.

5630. Animal production level - a measure of social development in Southern Africa

Description:
With the exception of privately owned commercial animal production enterprises the greater numbers of ruminant livestock in the ten Southern African states considered in this treatise are owned by smallholder farmers based on communal land use rights. Except for the tsetse fly (Glossina spp) infested areas, the climatic and vegetational conditions of Southern Africa appear inherently ideal for ruminant livestock production. However, measured against this tremendous potential only a relatively insignificant amount of meat and meat products, originating almost exclusively form the privately owned properties, trickle out of Southern Africa. This paper explores probable social developmental issues related to poor smallholder farmer livestock productivity and discusses possible remedial actions.
