▼ Water is a scarce and finite resource with no substitute. All life on earth depends on water. The challenges of water resource management anywhere need concerted efforts by various players such as government, the community or dam owners. This study was aimed at evaluating and describing educational implications of damming the Chalimbana River in Chongwe District of Zambia. In this regard, the study investigated the social impacts of damming the river on the local people. The views and experiences of local people along the Chalimbana River were solicited. Through this study, it is hoped that the source of conflict over the waters of the Chalimbana catchment area would be understood. The study further aimed at designing a proposed educational programme to address conflicts arising from the damming of the same River. This is in view of the fact that education can be used to address human environmental conflicts. The study was both qualitative and quantitative in nature as it captured views and experiences of respondents from which numerical figures were derived. The content analysis method was used to analyse data. In order to achieve the above stated objectives,respondents were purposively sampled and were drawn from the lower Chalimbana River Catchment.Primary information was gathered using separate questionnaires for each of the ten groups of respondents who were: teachers, local people, pupils, agriculturalists, dam owners, forestry officers, water board officials, social workers, the Royal Establishment (Nkomeshya) and headmen. The study found that the major conflicts in the study area arising from the damming of the Chalimbana River were brought about by the following trigger factors: (i) lower catchment areas dried up in the dry season months from August to December of each year. (ii)local people broke dam embankments illegally in order to supply water to their gardens. (iii)over exploitation of water as a common resource by dam owners.With regard to educational implications of damming the Chalimbana River, this study established that topics and issues which needed to be covered should focus on positive and negative aspects of damming the river with emphasis on the sustainability of the river. This study also established that social impacts of damming the river were many, such as the displacement of local people, which led to migration to other areas in search of water as a resource. Arising from the findings of this study, various recommendations have been made, amongst which is the need for a localised environmental education programme to educate people along the Chalimbana River regarding the damming of the river and its sustainability.

▼ The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the potential risk factors associated with T. solium (Ts) taeniasis/cysticercosis transmission and maintenance in humans and pigs in Southern and Eastern provinces of Zambia. Tongue examination of live pigs and assessment of the presence of circulating parasite antibodies by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay (Ab-ELISA) and that of circulating parasite antigen (Ag-ELISA) in serum were used to detect T. solium infections in pigs. A questionnaire was administered in households whose pigs were examined in order to obtain information on pig husbandry practices and to study other associated risk factors to T. solium infections in man. A total of 1541 pigs were examined. Of these, 772 and 769 pigs were from Southern and Eastern provinces respectively. Of the total pigs examined 171 (11.1%) were positive after tongue examination. Pigs from Southern province had a significantly higher T. solium prevalence of 117 (15.2%); (p< 0.001) than those from Eastern province with a prevalence of 54 (7.0%) on tongue examination. Antibody-ELISA analysis gave a total prevalence of 37.2%. There were no differences in T. solium prevalence detected between pigs from Southern 287 (37.2%) and Eastern 287 (37.3%) provinces. The Ag-ELISA assay gave a total T. solium cysticercosis prevalence of 376 (24.4%). There was significant difference between Southern province with a prevalence of 234 (30.3%); (p < 0.001) and Eastern province with 142 (18.5%). The study further showed that the prevalence of T. solium on Ag-ELISA in young pigs was 27.3% while adult pigs had 22.8%. A total of 788 farmers were interviewed out of the 800 households visited. The noted risk factors associated with T. solium infections were varied and included; lack of pork inspection at slaughter (96.7%), consumption of pork with cysts (20.1%), selling of pork infected with T. solium cysticerci (18.3%), individuals belonging to households with pigs found positive for cysticercosis on Ag-ELISA (37.6%), free-range husbandry system (83.2%) and poor sanitation i.e. allowing pigs access to infected faeces because of absence of toilets (58.0%). However, analysis of the prevalence rates of porcine cysticercosis in pigs raised in households with or without a latrine yielded no statistical significance on Ag-ELISA (x^ = 1.76, p < 0.184). This study confirmed a high prevalence of T. solium porcine cysticercosis in the surveyed villages and thus suggests the presence of T. solium human carriers. The life cycle of T. solium is bound to be sustained by pigs having access to infected human faeces because lack of toilets and consumption of cysticercosis-infected pork by villagers. It is evident from this study that T. solium infection poses a high public health risk in the study areas. This baseline data on the status of porcine cysticercosis should give the impetus to conduct Taeniosis and cysticercosis prevalence study in humans in these areas.

▼ Communication is a tool and a vehicle where humans interact through patterns, meaning and behaviour. And as humans transit patterns, meaning and behaviour which consequently is their culture, a culture with effective communication channels and strategies in its social system dominantly transmits or cultivates its dominant patterns, meaning and behaviour more than less dominant cultures. Subsequently, this culture becomes the main mode of transmitting patterns, meaning and behaviour. Therefore, for Zambia to use communication as a vehicle to preserve its cultural heritage and identity there is need to establish effective and appropriate communication channels and strategies. While the extended family system served as a platform for the young generation to interact with elderly people to share information on cultural heritage and identity, modernisation and globalisation have disabled this interpersonal communication (Mwizenge 2014, pp. 18-20). This is so because globalisation has continued to be a platform as well as a catalyst for cultural globalisation. And with globalisation as the major player in dictating patterns of interaction, meaning and behaviour, even when the government of Zambia has formulated a National Cultural Policy which seeks to promote cultural identity and heritage; artistic, intellectual- creation and art education; culture and development; and international cultural cooperation (Chanda 2010, p.19), it is not fully known whether organisations like National Heritage Conservation Commission (NHCC) mandated by the government to preserve Zambia's cultural heritage and identity have aggressive countering messages as well as effective and appropriate communication channels and strategies to be engines for preservation.The purpose of the study was to investigate NHCC's communication channels and strategies in preserving Zambia's cultural heritage and identity as well as their effectiveness and appropriateness in order to preserve and sustain Zambia’s cultural heritage. Specifically, the study investigated access to cultural heritage and identity information and type of access, NHCC's key messages and their relevance to preservation, NHCC's communication channels and strategies, and their effectiveness and appropriateness. Also, the study investigated Zambian citizens’ knowledge of holistic culture and its’ overlapping tendencies, and their knowledge about Zambia’s cultural heritage and identity as well as their attitudes towards preserving it. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used, a combination of in-depth interviews, structured respondent questionnaires was used as well as participant observation and secondary data review. The study established that NHCC and other cultural organisations are not so accessible to the residents: Many respondents have access to cultural information via T.V. And the findings also revealed that cultural information learnt on T.V was not from NHCC because NHCC haddiscontinued its T.V…

▼ Abdominal tuberculosis is a common form of extra- pulmonary tuberculosis especially in HIV/AIDS patients. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis in these patients. A study was done at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia to ascertain whether abdominal tuberculosis is common in HIV/AIDS patients, and whether under diagnosed. The inclusion criteria were fever and weight loss, with one or more of the following: diarrhoea persisting for >1 month, ascites, abdominal lymphadenopathy based on ultrasound, mesenteric masses based on ultrasound, hepatomegaly or splenomegaly, pancreatic enlargement, or unexplained focal or generalised pain/tenderness persisting over 7 days. The exclusion criteria included: HIV negative, solely pelvic and renal abnormalities, on antituberculous treatment for more than 1 week or too sick to undergo laparoscopy or colonoscopy. 31 subjects completed the algorithm and all the subjects had abdominal ultrasound scanning of which some had laparoscopy/laparotomy while others underwent colonoscopy. In order to determine if abdominal lymphadenopathy was attributable to HIV an equivalent number to those who met the criteria was recruited as controls and had abdominal ultrasound scanning. These subjects were HIV positive and had no features of tuberculosis. In this study 22 subjects had evidence of abdominal tuberculosis while 9 had no evidence of abdominal tuberculosis representing 71% and 29% respectively. Non of the controls had abdominal lymphadenopathy or any appreciable mass on abdominal ultrasound implying that abdominal lymphadenopathy indicate pathology. Good history and physical examination proved to be useful in diagnosing abdominal tuberculosis. Among the physical findings, abdominal tenderness was the commonest (86%) in subjects with evidence of abdominal tuberculosis. This study also revealed that abdominal ultrasound is an important tool in helping to make diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis especially in poor resource set up where CT and MRI scans are not readily available. This study showed that 73% of those with evidence of abdominal tuberculosis had ascites and 54% of subjects with abdominal tuberculosis had ascites with fibrous strands. While laparoscopic studies plus biopsy will confirm abdominal tuberculosis, this study noted that it is possible for normal looking mucosa on colonoscopy to be colonised by Mycobacteria tuberculosis (this was found in 1 out of 5 subjects). No Mycobacterium was cultured from any of the blood samples drawn from the study subjects and positive culture of the ascitic fluid was low (13.6%). Many subjects with abdominal tuberculosis had low CD4 count (mean= 92 cell/ul). 20 subjects (HIV positive) who died of suspected pulmonary or abdominal tuberculosis had autopsy done on them. Disseminated tuberculosis was more frequent than either pulmonary or abdominal tuberculosis. Abdominal tuberculosis in quite common in HIV positive patients. Therefore it is important to take a detailed history and elicit signs…

▼ Zambia is a high tuberculosis (TB) burden country. Antituberculous medicines are mainstay of TB management. Several reports of antituberculous drug-related haematological and hepatic adverse effects have been noted in other settings. Adverse events have healthcare cost and morbidity implications. Prevalence and severity of these adverse effects is understudied in patients at the University Teaching Hospitals. The purpose of this study was to identify haematological and hepatic abnormalities and compare parameters before treatment and after completion of intensive phase among the TB patients. Factors associated with abnormalities were also determined. A prospective longitudinal study was undertaken at Chest Clinic. Study patients were followed up for 2 months. Full blood count (FBC) and liver function tests (LFTs) were recorded at base-line and at follow-up. Abnormalities were defined according to the 2017 Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Paediatric Adverse Events. Data were analysed using GraphPad Prism version 8.0.1and SPSS version 22.0 Paired t-test and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test were used to compare parameters. Logistic regression was performed to determine factors that were predictive of abnormalities. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 37 patients were involved in the study. 56.8 percent of patients were male. The mean age of patients was 36.2 years (19 – 57 years) while mean body mass index (BMI) was 21.9 kg/m2. Only 37.8 percent of patients were sputum smear positive at baseline. 56.8 percent of patients had human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. 45.9 percent of patients were on antiretroviral therapy (ART). 45.2 percent of patients had grade 1-3 aspartate transaminase (AST) derangements at follow-up compared to 29.7 percent at baseline. 5.4 percent of the patients had grade 1-3 alanine transaminase (ALT) derangements at baseline while 9.7 percent of patients had grade 1 at follow-up. Fewer patients (16.1 percent) had grade 1-2 anaemia at follow-up while 62.2 percent of patients at baseline had grade 1- 4 anaemia. More patients (46.2 percent) had platelet derangements at follow-up compared to 25.8 percent at baseline. Fewer patients had differential white cell count (WCC) derangements at follow-up compared to baseline. Statistically significant differences in haematological parameters: haemoglobin concentration (Hb), haematocrit (HCT), red cell count, and white cell, eosinophil and neutrophil counts at baseline and follow-up were found (p < 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.0001 and p = 0.0058, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0005 respectively). However, no statistically significant differences in red cell indices were observed. Changes in ALT levels at baseline and follow-up were statistically significant (p = 0.0251). Logistic regression was performed to determine the effects of age, gender, BMI, HIV infection, ART, sputum smear status, and appropriate baseline FBC/LFT parameters on the likelihood of study patients having…

▼ Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tuber crop grown widely in Zambia by small scale farmers as a staple carbohydrate. The crop offers many advantages but its potential has been fully exploited. This failure has been in part due to poor production practices and the lack of improved planting materials. The crop is grown from stem cuttings of various lengths that are planted horizontally, vertically or at an incline at various planting depths. This does not favor the production of adequate planting material within a short time compared to other crops. Furthermore, this will affect its tuber yield. Therefore, the objective of this study was, to determine the effects of planting depth and stake orientation on planting material multiplication ratio and tuberous root yield of cassava. Two varieties of cassava; Bangweulu and L9.304/151 were used in the study. Stem cuttings, 30 cm long, were planted at depths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm and 20 cm in horizontal (0o), vertical (90o) or inclined position (45o). A split-split plot design with four replications was used in the study. Varieties were in the main plots, while planting depths were the sub plots and stem orientations the sub-sub plots. Within the plots, the spacing was 1 m inter-row, and 1 m in the intra-row. Data collected included number of stems/planting station, plant height, number of tuber/plant, and tuber weight/ha. The results obtained revealed that the two varieties gave similar multiplication rates of 1:4 to 1:6. Planting the stakes vertically or at an incline gave more stems per station (2.0) than planting horizontally (1.5) and these gave higher planting material multiplication rates (1:6) horizontally planted ones (1:4). In addition, these plants gave more tubers per plant (6 tubers/ plant) than those planted horizontally (tubers/plant). Significantly higher tuber weights (10.5t/ha to 9.4t/ha) were obtained from vertically and inclined sown plants than horizontally ones (5.9t/ha). However, highest tuber yield (12.8t/ha) for Bangweulu was obtained when stakes were planted vertically but for L9.304/151 (8.0 to 10.6t/ha) when planted either vertically or on the incline. This study showed that the crop can be planted at depths of 5 cm to 20cmwithout affecting its production of planting material and tuberous root yield but these stakes should be planted either vertically or inclined to obtain higher planting material multiplication rates and tuberous root yields.

▼ The British colonialists in Northern Rhodesia, experienced in the discomforting problems arising frost the conjunction of politically-minded1 elites with mass discontent in their colonies, and aware of such embryonic 'middleclass* leadership and mass stirrings in Northern Rhodesia itself during the Second World War and post war years* evolved what had been initially and fundamentally an administrative system of urban(advisory) and rural (Native Authority) councils into a characteristically subtle and flexible political device for the incorporation and containment of the actual - and potential * modern African political leadership in this country. This pyramid of African councils rising through provincial councils to a peak in the African Representative Council was portrayed as* and actually developed into, an increasingly 'democratic* system * both in order to endow it with an aura of legitimacy as representing the voice of the African population of the country and in order to ensure the incorporation therein of the actual local and national leaders of the African 'politically-minded middle-class'. This strategy was manifestly successful, for , from both the rural and urban bases of this pyramid, the range of men enter¬ing and selected upwards by their fellow councillors into the ARC itself was that balance of supposedly *authentic traditional* and actual *modern middleclass1 leadership elements desired by the «colonialists. The Native Authority leaders in the ARC were* how* ever, rather less 'traditional* than the colonialists claimed for* personal characterisation, they belonged to the same urbanised «orwesternised/ educated elite as the non-Native Authority coucillors from both urban and rural areas* In terms of both ^and occupational criteria* the African Representative council membership in fact actually consisted solidly of 'modern middleclass elements'. These 'modern middleclass' elements in , however* proved to be nothing other than petty-bourgeoise aspirant bourgeoise 'born out of* and shaped (or reshaped) by colonial capitalist system, and fully oriented towards and Living for a higher and unfitted place in that system, politically socially and economically.The emergent class character and bourgeois orientation of the African men was, what is more, thoroughly representative of that of African political leadership in general in Northern Rhodesia in that period -not only for the direct reason of the presence amongst then of many of the prominent political figures of the time but because the ARC, in both personnel and political content, was a representative selection and reflection of the broad territory-wide spread of African councillors, them¬selves representative of both the rural *traditional* and urban (and rural) modern African leadership* ^he petty—bourgeois character and bourgeois orientation of African political leadership in Northern Rhodesia reflected similarly a more specific section of that leadership continuum - namely that in and of the African Rational Congress* In so far as there was *…

▼ Trends in public recurrent expenditures in Zambia 1964-82, This research project will examine the main determinants of the ratio and changes in the ratio of public recurrent expenditures to GNP on both the aggregate and disaggrepate functional levels. The hypothesis is that the institutional reforms, level of economic development and population factors have contributed to the increase in the ratio of public recurrent expenditures to GNP. The research project will further examine the patterns or main features of these expenditure ratios in terms of their degree of centralisation and stability. On centralisation the hypothesis postulated is that centralisation is a function of GNP per capita and the population growth rate. On stability the research project will examine the relationship between the stability of expenditure ratios and the fluctuations in the GNP per capita and the population growth rate. The hypothesis postulated is that the stability of the expenditure ratios is a function of the fluctuations in the GNP per capita, population growth rate and other economic development indicators, In order to carry out the task outlined above the study design employed will be on the level of hypothesis-testing. The inductive model building technique will be used to explore the determinants and the main features of the ratios of public recurrent expenditures. The time series multiple regression analysis will mainly be used. The dependent variables are the .ratios of public recurrent expenditures to GNP, centralisation ratio and the coefficients of variations of the public recurrent expenditures to GNP ratios. The explanatory variables are the economic development indicators,. The estimated coefficients of the explanatory variables will be tested by the regression technique and determined whether they are significant or not. / t t * • * - 2 - On the basis of the tested and significant coefficients of the explanatory variables some explanatory/predictive public recurrent expenditure and stability models for Zambia will be suggested both on the aggregate and the disaggregate functional levels.

▼ Occupational stress has been described as an epidemic in that it is affecting every occupation, profession and work place around the globe (UNReport, 1998). The sources, patterns and other issues pertaining to occupational stress in organisations and work environments have recently attracted the interest of administrators, human resources management practitioners and researchers from various disciplines. This interest, inter alia, may have been motivated by findings which have associated stress at work with workers' poor physical and mental well-being, dissatisfaction with life and work, as well as low labour productivity. The study examined occupational stress as it occurs among secondary school teachers, as a selected category of workers, in Lusaka region. In particular, the study aimed at identifying the sources of teachers' tress, its patterns and the coping strategies used by teachers. Further, the study investigated the awareness of educational authorities of the problem of occupational stress among teachers. The study used a randomly selected sample of 187 secondary school teachers drawn from both public and private secondary schools around Lusaka urban and peri-urban. The main instrument used for data collection was a Teacher Stress Index Questionnaire (TSIQ) designed to elicit information about stress experienced on the job. The findings show that the major sources of occupational stress among teachers are poor conditions of service and work situations. Teaching and teaching-related activities emerged as the lowest source of occupational stress among the study sample. It was revealed that demographic factors such as gender, years of experience, qualifications and status, influenced respondents' perception of occupational stress. The results also made an interesting revelation that environmental stressors in urban schools contributed greatly to the total occupational stress experienced by teachers. Principal among these were extremes of temperature and destructive noise from certain neighbourhoods. One of the important observations made in this study was that of a possible nexus between occupational stress and infringement of workers' rights. In this regard it was observed that a good deal of job stress could be avoided if workers paid attention to their general as well as job-related rights. Most importantly, the study established that the major sources of stress among teachers were poor conditions of service and work situations. The coping strategies identified were collapsed into two categories. These were adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. Adaptive coping included strategies such as seeking support from superiors, prioritizing workload, recognising limitations and talking to friends and close colleagues. On the other hand the major maladaptive strategies that emerged included denial, taking on more than can be handled, working long and irregular hours and avoiding discussing stressful experiences. The fact that maladaptive coping strategies emerged as the most…

▼ The seventh grade is one of the most important grades in the Zambian education system. It is at this grade that all pupils who have continued with primary school sit for their first national examinations whose results are used to select them to grade eight, either at a basic or high school. Government, teachers, and parents are all concerned about the performance of pupils at this grade. The seventh grade therefore, has high publicity and attracts attention of all stakeholders. Pupils are expected to work very hard for them to be selected to grade eight. Therefore, some grade seven pupils find the grade, the learning environment, and other activities associated with school as being stressful, challenging, and anxiety arousing. They tend to experience prolonged and disabling anxiety, which affects their academic performance. Anxiety has been defined as an emotional response characterised by apprehension, tension, physiological arousal and restlessness, which has an effect on performance. It has been observed that high and low levels of anxiety affect academic performance of pupils, while moderate levels of anxiety provides drive energy that pupils can utilize to enhance their academic performance. The study examined the sources and effects of anxiety among grade seven pupils in Luanshya District. A randomly selected sample of 200 pupils drawn from 10 primary schools in Luanshya participated in the study. The study also collected information from 50 serving teachers from the same schools. The main instruments used in the study were the pupils'questionnaire and the teachers' questionnaire. The pupils' questionnaire was used to provide information on the sources of anxiety. The teachers' questionnaire was used to find out the effects of anxiety on pupils' academic performance. It was found that anxiety was pervasive among grade seven pupils and that it affected their academic performance. The findings showed that anxiety among grade seven pupils was elicited by external stimuli found in the school environment. The main sources of anxiety among pupils revolved around the three following categories: threats to the self-esteem needs, security needs, and social or affiliation needs, which were usually not addressed in schools in Zambia. Sources of anxiety in the self-esteem category included: knowledge about leaked examination papers, fear to present in class because other pupils would laugh at them, fear of speaking in class, worry about grades or marks, worry about not being selected to grade eight, and finding difficult to solve mathematics questions. In the security category, the following were the sources of anxiety: fear when teachers go on strike, covering long distances to and from school, meeting with the head teachers, and fear of bullies at school. The social or affiliation needs category- comprised fear of being rejected by friends as a source of anxiety among pupils. Most importantly, the study identified that knowledge about leaked examination papers and teachers'strikes were important sources of…

▼ Adoption of new mechanisms through which water supply and sanitation services may be provided to communities in Zambia has been undergoing continuous transformations over the last decade.Policy makers and other key stakeholders have been trying to find the most appropriate and self sustaining service delivery mechanism, through which good quality services can be provided to consumers throughout the country. In 1993 the Government of Zambia embarked on a reform process primarily aimed at addressing the many problems associated with water supply and sanitation to communities.Notable outputs of the reform process were; passing of a new National Water Policy, enactment of new legislation, establishment of new institutions and the strengthening of the regulatory framework.Private Sector Participation (PSP) has prominently emerged as one of the probable ways through which service delivery can be improved in Zambia. This assertion emanates from the widely held notion that, "the private sector can enhance operational efficiency due to their strong adherence to sound commercial principles and good management practices ".The main objective of this study therefore was to, "investigate the appropriateness of PSP service delivery arrangements as a means through which water supply and sanitation services may be rendered in Zambia (the City of Lusaka being the test case) and to identify the associated opportunities and constraints". The main approach centered on evaluating the experiences gained from PSP contracts in water supply and sanitation that are already in existence and using the findings to help formulate a PSP option for Lusaka, Zambia. Three PSP cases were evaluated in this study namely, Kampala-Uganda, Dar Es Salaam-Tanzania and the Copperbelt Province-Zambia (this contract was confined to only the ex-mining areas of the Copperbelt Province).The main findings revealed that the main problematic issues in Zambia's urban water supply and sanitation service arena are; failure to access capital required for infrastructure rehabilitation in order to stem the many network losses, inadequate capital for network expansion, poor commercial management leading to low revenue collections, overstating, financing for effecting improvements to the poor and political interference.In this study it was determined that these issues were to a large extent addressed in the PSP contract in Uganda and to a lesser extent in the newly incepted PSP contract in Tanzania. Based on the attributes of the many PSP contracts in use world wide, it has been established that initially, a 2 to 3 years duration Performance Based Management Contract, followed by a 7 to 10 years duration Lease Contract (upon successful completion of Management Contract) as the most suitable PSP proposition for Lusaka.However,haphazard adoption and subsequent implementation of PSP in any form will not bring about the expected results. What is cardinal is that prior to adoption of PSP for any given service area, a well focused, detailed and thoroughly laid out due diligence…

▼ The main objective of this study was to ascertain a gender perspective among para- suicides in the City of Lusaka. The study makes the observation that suicide has become one of the major social problems globally, where it is estimated that 8 to 14 people per 100,000 commit suicide each year. However, the magnitude of this problem in Zambia is not well known due to lack of statistics. Information obtained from University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and Zambia Police Service suggested that between 1998 and 2004, the number of attempted deaths from suicides among males and females nearly tripled.The specific objectives of the study were therefore, to establish the pattern of para-suicide, to determine the motives for attempting suicide, to present a descriptive account of gender risk factors associated with attempted suicide and to make recommendations on how attempted suicide can be addressed. The study sought to answer the following questions: what are the social and demographic characteristics of people who attempt to commit suicide? why do people attempt to commit suicide? what are gender risk factors associated with attempted suicide? and how can the problem of parasuicide be addressed? The study population comprised 46 para-suicides of whom 28 were women and 18 men and was undertaken at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) between October, 2006 and February, 2007. The study was therefore, hospital based. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. In-depth interviews were used for collecting qualitative data. The study also relied on books and documents to collect secondary data. Quantitative data was analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Qualitative data was analysed manually. The major findings drawn from this study were that young people, between 20 and 30 years of age attempted to commit suicide at a higher rate. This study established that the majority of the para-suicides were females, 60.9% and males were 39.1%.This study established that suicidal behaviour is not always associated with the presence of mental illness. This study ascertained that the main motive which led, female respondents to attempt to commit suicide was strained relationship which caused them emotional pain and psychological distress. This study revealed that gender and power relations played a critical role towards female respondents' quest to attempt to commit suicide. Female suicidal behaviour was linked to domestic violence, vulnerability, hopelessness, whereas men's suicidal behaviour was linked to rising rates of unemployment, financial insecurity and loss of identity.This study in conclusion identified drug overdose and poisoning as the commonest methods used by respondents to attempt to commit suicide. The study recommends that raising social and economical status for both women and men and eliminating gender disparities will gradually reduce incidences of suicide.

▼ In this study, it has been pointed out that throughout the colonial period, there was a prevalent assumption held by the colonial state, missionaries and indeed Europeans (in general) that estern scientific medicine provided the most appropriate means of coping with human disease, Because of these preconceived ideas, the type of medical services provided by both the missionaries and the colonial Government was oriented towards pursuing this same view The missionaries openly associated traditional medicine with heathenism and often excommunicated Christians who were alleged to be involved in the practice,. The Government through various pieces of legislations sought to undermine traditional healing while it offered support to Western medicine. The discussion, however, shows that despite the hostile environment traditional medicine was faced with, it still continued to survive due to the fact that Western medical services were still inadequate and inaccessible to the majority Northwestern province of Zambia. of the peoples of tne / Secondly, it was gradually learnt that not all diseases could be cured by Western medicine So the local people soon realised that there was still something in their traditional medicine which they had relied upon for ages0 Despite the continued existence of traditional medicine, it did not remain static but changed to adapt itself to the new diseases introduced into the society as a result of contact with outsiders, colonialism and penetration of mine based capitalism in Zambia Through labour migration, the indigenous disease pattern was completely transformed,, let Western medical services did not grow parallel to the changed epidemiology. Instead the main concern of the colonial state* was to ensure that the disease disrupted the colonial economy as little as possible.. Owing to this, short term measures were adopted whenever there was an outbreak of an infectious disease. It was therefore not surprising that throughout the colonial period, curative medicine was used as a substitute for public health The lack of emphasis on preventive medicine led to the continued reoccurences of infectious diseases which could be controlled through innoculation or any other means0 Furthermore, the study will argue that the Western medical work in North-western Province was born out of missionary work But the missionaries did not develop an elaborate medical system because of lack of finances and trained personnel Additionally, the medical ministry was only used as a weapon to obtain access to local people whom they sought to convert,, Therefore,medical work was done as an ancillary to their evangelistic work and therefore had to be subordinated to it0 Lastly, despite its , inadequacy, colonial medicine nevertheless provided a foundation on which post-independence national health service was built

▼ This dissertation is a study of the legal frame-work for the integrated and decentralised system of government in Zambia. The term decentralised government as used in this study, decentralization the system of local administration at provincial and district levels, which was instituted in 1981, in place of local government in Zambia. This dissertation is divided into seven chapters. Chapter One outlines the purpose of the study, as an enquiry into the • objectives of decentralisation in Zambia0 Chapter One also gives the scope of the study, and the methods of data collection used in the study Chapter Two defines the concept of decentralisation,, It discus the theorectical approaches to decentralisation,, Finally, the chapter outlines the historical context in which decentralisation has emerged in Zambia. Chapter Three discusses the Zambian governments post independence objectives in social and economic development, in the period between 19&4 an<i 1983« The chapter does not pretend to give a comprehensive economic analysis of these objectives0 It discus these objectives in the context of the study to show how the said objectives influenced the set up of district and provincial administrative or institutional structures. The set up of provincial and district administrative structures that were adapted to ^co-ordinate the implementation of the government's social and economic objectives is examined in Chapter Four,, This chapter also discusses the suitability of the said institutional and administrative structures in co-ordinating the implementation of the governmentls social and economic objectives. It argues that this institutional and administrative structure was centralised, and therefore unsuitable to efficiently co-ordinate development efforts. Chapter Five describes the Local Administration Act, 1980 as the legal framework for effecting decentralisation in Zambia. Chapter Six critically evaluates the Local Administration Act, 19800 Attention is focussed on the main objectives of the Act, namely, integration and decentralisation. Chapter Seven is a conclusion. It brings out the theme that the underlying motive for decentralisation on in Zambia is largely political, rather than economic. It offers some suggestions and recommendations for reforming the legal framework for Zambia's decentralised system of government.

▼ This study sets out to examine critically the direction that Zambian theatre has taken since independence and to draw attention to the problems and contradictions in its development. Particular divisions that exist within Zambian theatre, such as that between the Theatre Association of Zambia (TAZ), and the Zambia National Theatre Arts Association (ZANTAA), are taken as a pointer to the deeper cultural issues in a post-colonial context, the aim being to highlight ideological divisions over the question as to which direction theatre in Zambia should be taking. The methodological approach used is both historical and interpretive. It outlines historical events along the development of Zambian theatre and also attempts to analyse the way Zambian theatre is developing within the context of Zambian Society. To this end, it is a survey, rather than a study and does not seek to prove any hypothesis. In the final chapter, however, the study offers some conclusions and perspectives on the future direction of Zambian Theatre. The material gathered is based on interviews and correspondence with prominent dramatic figures on the Zambian theatrical scene. Printed material such as journals, periodicals, reviews, newspapers and papers written or presented by persons with a keen Interest in theatre are often referred to. In addition to these, books on theatre and drama, seminar papers, theses and unpublished papers, and minutes and other materials available from theatre groups and theatre houses have also been examined. The main objective is to discover the reasons for the relatively slow development of theatre in Zambia with regard to the production of a distinctly and authentic Zambian theatre, and an internationally recognized body of written drama, or any playwright of stature. Special attention is paid to the accurate mapping of Zambian theatre-history, and the development of a theatrical ideology, and the growth of indigenous theatre groups and articulate spokesmen for Zambian theatre. Hence in the final analysis, the undeclared aim of this study has been to promote Zambian theatre by offering a critical historical evaluation, complemented by some recommendations and suggestions in the light of the problems and contradictions examined. The first chapter very briefly examines the development of theatre in Zambia from colonial times to the post-colonial period, and shows the extent to which foreign influences became divisive factors. Here focus is on different theatre forms including for example indigenous para-dramatic forms in pre-colonial and colonial Zambia, where dance and drama were fused together, and also on how far indigenous traditions were transformed with the coming of colonialism. The chapter also covers the pre-independence period and the period immediately after independence in an attempt to show albeit very briefly, the pre-independence theatre developments as well as the trends that emerged consequent to independence. The second chapter looks at early or "other" national oriented theatre experiments,…

▼ The aim of this study was to investigate observable patterns of language acquisition and language use evident among members of inter-ethnic families in Mansa urban area. Specifically, the study sought to investigate patterns of language acquisition and use in inter-ethnic marriages; to find out which language(s) is/are preferred in inter-ethnic marriages; and to ascertain factors affecting language acquisition and use these marriages. The sample population comprised a total of a hundred and ten subjects of whom seventy five were drawn from men and women in inter-ethnic marriages during the time of the study while thirty were children or individuals brought up in inter-ethnic homes and five were men and women in inter-racial marriages then. The couples from inter-racial marriages were included in the study considering that the spouses such marriages, though from different races, came from different ethnic groups. Besides, one family was selected for the case study. Three questionnaires, designed for a specific group, were used to collect data from respondents in inter-ethnic marriages, inter-racial marriages and children brought up in inter-ethnic homes. An interview schedule was also used to collect data from members of the family that was considered a case study. From the research findings, Bemba appeared to be acquired more widely than the other languages represented in the study. It also appeared to be the preferred language even among children born to parents who were non-mother-tongue Bemba speakers. The study also found that mono-lingualism was not a feature of inter-ethnic marriages as 99% of the respondents in inter-ethnic marriages in Mansa were found to be either bilingual or multilingual with multilingualism getting a higher percentage of 64% and bilingualism 35%. English emerged as the preferred language among the children in inter-ethnic and inter-racial marriages and parents did not impose restrictions on their children's use of any language or languages in the home. Arising from the findings, it can be concluded that the language of the local area (Bemba) is the preferred language in inter-ethnic marriages in Mansa; English is the preferred language among the children in inter-ethnic marriages in Mansa; Bemba and English are used in all the inter-ethnic marriages; multilingualism is more prevalent than bilingualism in inter-ethnic marriages in Mansa and mono-lingualism is not a feature of inter-ethnic marriages and that the lack of parental discouragement and non-disapproval of the use of the children's choice of a language at home imply parents' acceptance of multilingualism in their children. The study has made three recommendations for further research: (i) a larger investigation involving couples in inter-ethnic and inter-racial marriages elsewhere to be carried out in order to come up with more meaningful patterns of language acquisition and use. (ii) An investigation into the patterns of language acquisition and use in inter-ethnic marriages where parents may not have attained secondary…

The study also endeavours to demonstrate that Silozi is a version of Sesotho; but due to its geographical location and influences of the Luyana language(originally from Congo) and other Zambian languages, it differs slightly with the original Sesotho.The set-up of segmental and suprasegmental phonemes of both Silozi and Sesotho accordingly constitutes the main content of this work through consideration of the similarities and differences of the phonemes in their respective languages. Whilst not purporting to be exhaustive, the study provides suggestive analysis mainly based on historical facts since recent literature is limited especially in the Sesotho language. Although, wherever relevant, morphological and syntactical levels are taken into account, the research is basically dealing with phonological evidence. In the end the study seeks to determine whether Silozi is a language or a dialect of Sesotho to which it is very closely related historically.The report is arranged in five chapters. Chapter One introduces the subject beginning with a general background and proceeding to the research rationale, areas of interest and focus as well as the expected outcomes. The historical background is dealt with in this chapter. The chapter also outlines the research methodology. Chapter Two reviews relevant literature and discusses relevant historical and socio-linguistic backgrounds and the criticality and relevance of the sources to the research and its analysis. Additionally, this chapter considers the classification and the geographical distribution of the two languages. Finally, it gives a treatment of the status of the two languages in their respective countries, the Sesotho's derived languages and a restatement of the nature of the study.Chapter Three discusses the inputs of segmental and suprasegmental theories used in the phonological comparison of Silozi and Sesotho by presenting a discussion of the Southern Bantu vowels in general followed by the discussion of Silozi and Sesotho vowels. The classification of consonants and the click in Sesotho are also considered. This chapter also looks at the research outcomes and components and their connections as well as their impact on the study.Chapter Four presents the findings of the research and sorts the data collected from the research and highlights key issues noted by the researcher, shows where significant issues lie. Chapter Five summarises and draws conclusions of the study and re-indicates its purpose, reviews the research process and gives the critiques of the researcher. Furthermore, it states the possible use of the study to academics and others. This final chapter suggests recommendations based on the findings and analysis of the data. Among the recommendations are that on one hand the current lozi grammar be maintained in the schools, so as not to confuse pupils and learners of the language and on the other hand,…

▼ This study investigated some linguistic variations of three Kaonde dialects spoken in Northwestern and Central provinces of Zambia. The dialects included the standard Kaonde, Lubango-Kaonde and Mumbwa Kaonde. The exercise was carried out in order to establish the variation of the dialectal differences in terms of morphological, syntactic, phonological and lexical parameters.The data were collected through the use of five informants, three from the Mumbwa dialect and two from the Lubango dialect. Each of the participants was given lists of words and sentences in English and was asked to provide the equivalents in a given dialect. Data from the standard dialect were provided through the researcher's intuition being a first language speaker of Kaonde and verified by two other speakers of Kaonde as first language. The data were then recorded on tape and later transcribed. The note book was used to record words and sentences captured by observation. Thereafter data analysis of all the data collected was conducted in line with the objectives of the study. The findings were analysed and interpreted according to the levels of linguistic analysis applied in the study Among the major findings of the study was that the three Kaonde dialects studied manifested dialectal variations at the various levels of linguistic analysis and that the Mumbwa dialect displayed more variations in relation to the other dialects investigated. This was attributed to the long distance between the Mumbwa dialect and the other two. Divergence was said to have played a crucial role in exacerbating the linguistic differences among them. On the other hand, the standard and Lubango-Solwezi dialects were found to display minimal linguistic variations between them because of their geographical closeness and therefore convergence was found to have played a role in reducing the linguistic variations between the two dialects. The study also concluded that there were more lexical differences exhibited among the dialects, followed by syntactic and phonological variations. Morphological variations were found to be few among the three dialects. This implied that the three dialects shared more similarities in terms of their morphological structure. One of the major recommendations made was that a large scale study, beyond the scope of the current one on dialectology of the Kaonde language be carried out in order to include other dialects from far-flung areas including the Congo so that the conclusions to be made would be based on all forms of the Kaonde language.

▼ This study investigates the aspects of syntactic tone in Lozi. It looks at the tones of words in citation form and what happens when they are placed in context. This involves two levels. The first is the Phonological level where the tones of words in each word class were marked for tone. The second was the Syntactic level which involved putting the words into different syntactic frames to show how the tone of the words change when put together and also how they influence the pronunciation of a phrase or sentence in Lozi. This was a descriptive approach which used an informant's understanding and interpretation of the standard use of the language. The data was obtained by using an interview guide which comprised of two parts. One section had lists of words in citation form grouped according to their word classes. The second had the different words put in different syntactic frames. The informants were required to read the lists aloud. The technique of observing and recording the conversations in their natural environment were crucial in capturing the correct tone of the language. 10 informants who spoke the standard Lozi were sampled from the urban areas of Lusaka and Mongu.After analysing the data, the results were conclusive with the stated objectives and research questions which were set out in the introduction. It was discovered that the syntactic tones of some words in citation form did change when put in context. This depended on a number of factors (a) the number of syllables in a word affected the tone groups of the words (b) the position of the tones of a word affected the tone groups of the surrounding words in context (c) the syntactic frame or word order influenced the tone groups of the words and (d) the type of sentence caused changes in the tonal group of the words. This was a descriptive study focusing on the aspects of syntactic tone in Lozi but more work is needed to look into particular word classes on all the levels of linguistics to fully appreciate tone. It requires more funding and appreciation of local languages.

▼ Both iron deficiency and malaria on one hand are common in sub-Saharan Africa and the interaction between the two is complex. On the other hand both cause anemia which is one of the most prevalent diseases suffered by individuals in developing world. The etiology of anemia is frequently multi-factorial, with iron deficiency, malaria, hemoglobinopathies and other nutritional deficiencies contributing to its cause. This study assessed the prevalence of iron deficiency during the acute episode of malaria illness and during convalescence. 4 This was a prospective case study and a clinical assessment was used to collect information at the time of enrollment (day 0) and convalescence (day 35). In addition laboratory assessment was conducted on all the recruited children on day O and day 35 which included full blood count and sickling test. Hematological indices of interest in this study were hemoglobin (Hb), mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) and red cell distribution width (RDW). The Hb, MCV, MCH and RDW were used to determine iron deficiency. The children who had MCV less than 70 fl, MCH less 27 (pg) and RDW percentage more than 16 % were said to have iron deficiency and those who in addition had HB < 12g/dl were defined as iron deficiency anemia. The children with positive malaria parasite slide (ring forms of plasmodium falciparum) were defined as having malaria.Prevalence of iron deficiency was thirty-nine percent (39%) and those with anemia were thirty five percent (35%) at presentation (day 0). The number of children who were iron deficient on day 35 increased to fourty nine percent (49%). Fifty percent (50%) of children with severe anemia (Hb < 6g/dl) had iron deficiency at day 0. Children who had anemia with no iron deficiency at day 0 were 34%, however on day 35 the 18% of the children with anemia and no iron deficiency developed iron deficiency. The changes in iron status between days 0 and day 35 were statistically not significant in all the parameters used to determine iron deficiency. But individually there were some children whose anemia status worsened on day 35. This study has shown that iron deficiency (shown by the hematological indices of MCV less than 70 fl, MCH less 27 (pg) and RDW percentage more than 16 %) is prevalent among children with malaria and in some cases iron deficiency worsens during convalescence. How much iron deficiency impacts on malaria anemia cannot be concluded from this study. More studies need to be done especially to asses the benefits of supplementation with iron in a child after an episode of malaria. Such studies should involve both rural and urban populations.

▼ Children co-infected with HIV-1 and malaria are more likely to suffer from malaria and may respond poorly to anti-malarial treatment due to immunosuppression resulting from HIV infection. This study provides results of antimalarial treatment outcomes in children co-infected with HIV and malaria. The study was a health facility based case control study and was conducted between December 2006 and October 2007. One hundred and twenty four children were recruited from five study sites with stable and unstable malaria transmission patterns. Among the 124 children recruited, 9 had HIV-1 and malaria co-infections (cases) while 113 were non-HIV-1 and malaria infected (controls). Treatment was according to the Zambian government malaria treatment policy guidelines; thus Quinine for complicated malaria and Artemether Lumefantrine (Coartem) for uncomplicated malaria. All the children recruited were followed-up for 28 days. Eighty children completed the day 28 follow-up. Clinical assessment and malaria parasite examination were done on each day of the visit while samples for PCR were collected on day 14 and any day thereafter if the patient was malaria positive by blood slide. Molecular genotyping was used to distinguish re-infection parasites from recrudescent parasites. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 11.0. Chi-square test was used to test for significant differences of baseline data among the two groups and the difference in means was measured with the unpaired t-test. Tests of significance could not be performed on treatment outcomes because of the low numbers of patients in the case group. Out of the 80 children who completed day 28 follow-up, 8 were cases and 72 were controls. The mean haemoglobin levels among children in the case and control groups at baseline was 6.62 ±2.71 and 9.55±2.40 respectively (p-value <0.05). The parasite count geometric means for the case and control groups were 11501 and 7550 respectively. The mean CD4 counts for the children in the case group 356± 138.47 while the control had 1171.86±445.18 (p-value <0.05). Fifty percent of the cases presented with complicated malaria upon recruitment as compared to 6.9% in the controls. A total of 16 post treatment positive samples were recorded of which 4 were positive by both microscopy and 12 were positive by PCR only. In order to distinguish re-infection parasites from recrudescent, all the 16 positive post treatment samples were genotyped. Out of the 16 post treatment malaria positive samples recorded, 5 (31.3%) were due to re-infections and 10 (62.5%) were recrudescents. Recrudescent parasites were seen in 6.2% and 62.5% of the cases and controls respectively. Treatment failure rates within the case and control groups were I (12.5%) and 10 (13.8%) respectively. Our study has documented higher parasitaemia and prevalence of severe malaria among HIV-1 malaria co-infected children. However, the study findings have shown that the risk of developing treatment failure is less likely among children with severe immunosuppression as seen in HIV malaria…
