A conference paper on international support to development co-operation in Southern Africa. Paper presented to a seminar on African response to imperialism, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, 22 - 24 April 1987 ; The Southern Africa Development Co-ordination Conference (SADCC) was institutionalised in April 1980 and consists of nine member countries, namely, Angola, Botswana, Lesotho,. Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It aims primarily at co-ordinating the regional members' development in such areas as industry, agriculture, transport, communications, energy, and other related fields. Support for political liberation in the entire region is among its general objectives.

Ein kriegsgeschichtlicher Beitrag in einer britischen Fachzeitschrift hat erneut die bis dahin abgeschlossen geglaubte Diskussion um den deutschen Angriff auf die Sowjetunion 1941 aufleben lassen. Einige Autoren sind neuerdings der Auffassung, dass das Deutsche Reich militärischen Ambitionen Stalins lediglich zuvorgekommen sei. (SWP-Btg)

During the lifespan of Public Opinion Quarterly, 1937-1987, the political & social landscape of the US has changed dramatically. The PO field has changed as well, with quantitative data becoming overwhelmingly dominant. News media began by relying on commercial pollsters, but now often conduct their own polls. Questions have been raised, however, about the objectivity of such polls, & about whether they influence the PO they purport to measure. Proposals for legal regulation have been made to prevent these problems, but so far self-regulation has been the preferred method. 22 References. W. H. Stoddard

Le 22 novembre dernier, l'historien Jacques Le Goff avait accepté de participer à un colloque de l'I.R.E.T.E.P. (Institut de Recherche sur les Enseignements Techniques et Professionnels) consacré à la société française et l'immigration maghrébine.
Son intervention portait sur les brassages culturels et leurs fonctions historiques. Nous en donnons ici le texte enregistré. Il faut donc le recevoir comme il a été prononcé, dans toute sa spontanéité.
Il n'en constitue pas moins, comme le dit précisément Jacques Le Goff dans sa conférence à propos de ce type d'enregistrement, un "document d'histoire".

Three hypotheses were developed and tested relating the moderating effects of interdependence between leader behaviors and satisfaction and performance. Results from a survey of 419 participants on 22 teams in eight sports revealed strong support for the performance hypotheses, but not for the satisfaction hypotheses. Winning coaches of high interdependence sports teams were described as exhibiting significantly greater leader-initiating structure than losing high interdependence coaches. Also, winning coaches of high interdependence teams exhibited significantly more leader-initiating structure and significantly less leader consideration than winning coaches of low interdependence teams.

SUMMARYThirty‐nine patients, aged 3 to 22, who have handicapping conditions were examined twice in a range of 1 1/2 years to determine oral hygiene level, periodontal treatment needs, and level of caries. During this period, each patient was given periodontal treatment, including scaling, caries treatment, and oral health education, which also was given to hospital staff members. Findings showed a slight increase in the DMF rate, a minor improvement in oral hygiene, and a significant reduction in periodontal treatment needs. The results showed that without cooperation of the staff members, a dental education program would not succeed in this setting.

"Seit seiner Gründung 1923 hat sich der Rundfunk in Deutschland wie auch in anderen hochindustrialisierten Ländern rasch ausgebreitet. Schon in den dreißiger Jahren gehörte er in Deutschland, aber beispielsweise auch in England, ganz abgesehen von den USA, zum Alltag vieler Familien. Deutschland erreichte 1941 mit 15 Millionen angemeldeten Hörfunkgeräten einen ersten Höhepunkt in der Rundfunkversorgung. Nach einem Einbruch, bei Kriegsende, gab es im Hörfunk 1965 rund 17,8 Millionen angemeldeter Hörfunkgeräte und 11,3 Millionen angemeldeter Fernsehgeräte bei ca. 22 Millionen Privathaushalten. Die Zahlen sind seitdem weiter angestiegen und liegen zur Zeit bei 25 Millionen Fernsehempfängern, wobei sich hinter diesen Angaben auch soziale Verschiebungen (Erhöhung der Zahl der Haushalte) verbergen. Demoskopische Erhebungen berechtigen zu dem Schluß, daß bei publikumswirksamen Sendungen mit über 50 Prozent Einschaltquote mehr als die Hälfte der erwachsenen Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik - quer durch alle sozialen Schichten - ein und dasselbe Fernsehprogramm anschaut, etwa eine Trivialserie wie die 'Schwarzwaldklinik'."

The metatheoretical suppositions underlying Emile Durkheim's theory of the social are investigated. Issues treated include: (1) the problem of establishing scientific rigor in studying the social, while distinguishing social from natural science; (2) determining & defining the objects of empirical study; (3) the problem of induction & abstraction in science; (4) epistemological & ontological problems of objectivity; & (5) types of social causality. It is argued that, in the case of his study of suicide, Durkheim's insistence that sociology's point of departure be empirical data is contradicted by his tacit presupposition of social cohesion. 22 References.

This article uses a 22‐industry breakdown of the UK manufacturing sector to examine the effects on employment of various changes in the structure, but not the overall level, of exports, imports, and trade balances within an input‐output framework. The analyses reported relate to greater specialisation in trade, faster structural adjustment and import substitution. The results show both the industrial pattern and overall net effect of employment changes and the distinction is made between the direct employment consequences of changes in the trade balances of the industries concerned and induced employment changes via derived demands for intermediate inputs.

SUMMARYForty‐five patients aged 3 to 22 who have handicapping conditions were examined to determine their oral hygiene leveis and periodontal treatment needs. This study shows that oral hygiene leveis for males and the older population were higher. Periodontal treatment needs were highly correlated to oral hygiene, and were much higher for males and older age groups.Various aspects were discussed and it was concluded that primary prevention is an immediate, although a partial solution. However, new aids and antibacterial solutions should be further investigated in this population to simplify plaque removal.

"Mit dem auf der 67. Tagung der Internationalen Arbeitskonferenz am 22. Juni 1981 angenommenen Übereinkommen wird auf dem Gebiet des Arbeitsschutzes und der Arbeitsumwelt angestrebt, in allen Wirtschaftszweigen Unfälle und Gesundheitsschäden zu verhüten, indem die mit der Arbeitsumwelt verbundenen Gefahrenursachen auf ein Mindestmaß herabgesetzt werden. Dieses Übereinkommen umreißt erstmalig allgemeine Grundsätze des Arbeitsschutzes und schafft somit auf diesem Gebiet einen Rahmen für alle Bereiche der Wirtschaft. ... Das Übereinkommen soll die künftige Beratung von Einzelproblemen des Arbeitsschutzes erleichtern und die Mitgliedstaaten zu einer wirksameren Arbeitsschutzpolitik veranlassen. Die Zielsetzungen des Übereinkommens sind in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland weitgehend erfüllt. Allerdings weicht das innerstaatliche Recht von den Einzelvorschriften des Übereinkommens in einigen Punkten ab. Eine Änderung des geltenden Rechts wird nicht erwogen. Von einer Ratifizierung des Übereinkommens soll deshalb abgesehen werden." "Die Empfehlung konkretisiert das Übereinkommen und enthält zum Teil weitergehende detaillierte Vorschläge in bezug auf zu ergreifende Maßnahmen auf dem Gebiet des Arbeitsschutzes und der Arbeitsumwelt. Die Empfehlung zielt darauf ab, unabhängig von einer Ratifizierung des Übereinkommens Anregungen für eine Weiterentwicklung des innerstaatlichen Rechts zu geben." (IAB2)

The American Agriculture Movement (AAM) emerged in 1977 as a Mc farm protest against low prices for agricultural commodities. Its activities were closely identified with a farm strike that never came about. AAM survived nonetheless & achieved some successes. An analysis of the AAM as a political organization provides some important insights into a largely neglected area of interest group behavior, their mobilization & activation. The research presented constitutes a leadership study that examines strategies & tactics employed in the organizational effort. Analyzed also are the problems of organizing in general & employing protest style tactics. 22 References. Modified HA.
