The papers published in this book represent the collective and individual thoughts of the working group on commercial and industrial energy use of the Zimbabwe Energy Accouting Project (ZEAP) and the Ministry of Water and Energy Resources and Development of the Government of Zimbabwe. The first paper is a concept paper and it represents an attempt to sketch out the remainder of the ZEAP in the areas of commercial, industrial, and urban energy use. The next three papers present findings of surveys of energy use patterns in the formal industrial, the transport, and the infromal industrial sectors of the economy. The final two papers represent formal models which were developed for the analysis undertaken as part of the ZEAP.

This book is about migration to Shashemene, a small town in southern Ethiopia, before 1974. In the book, the migration to Shashemene elucidates the mechanisms behind the movement to small African towns experiencing rapid populations increase but having few opportunities for formal employment. A main issue is how the political and economic history of the southern central region of Ethiopia, as well as, the structure of the Ethiopian urban economy in the early 1970's, has influenced migration patterns of people from different ethnic groups coming to Shashemene. The ethnically stratified occupational structure is outlined, and the role of women in urban Ethiopia is discussed. Studies of other urban areas in Ethiopia are interpreted in the light of the findings from Shashemene. ; Contents: 1. Introduction -- 2. Migration to Shashemene: the total picture -- 3.

This thesis is a study of argumentation in situations of face-to-face spoken interaction. The situations analyzed consist of a formal television debate, a semi-formal television interview, and an informal conversational discus¬sion. The investigation is based on an analysis of video recordings of the three situations. The formal television debate and television interview were broadcast in Swedish television just prior to the national referendum on nuclear energy in March 1980. There were three policy lines in the referendum; Line I, which was clearly for the use of nuclear energy, Line III, which was clearly against nuclear energy, and Line II, which was somewhere in between. The television debate was the only televised face-to-face confrontation between the policy lines during the referendum campaign. Prior to the television debate representatives from each of the policy lines were interviewed by a team of television reporters. The interview of the represen¬tatives for Line I has been selected for analysis in the thesis. The conversational discussion was video-recorded in 1980 in connec¬tion with a research project investigating cultural aspects of perspectives on natural resources (cf. Allwood 1981) which was conducted at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Göteborg. The discussion was held between non-specialist adolescents on the topic of the possibility of combining nature and technology. The three situations of argumentation constitute face-to-face interactive cases of what I will refer to as everyday argumentation. Everyday argumentation refers to argumentation concerning practical issues in law, politics, morals, economics, private and family affairs, medicine, the arts and sciences, etc., in other words, all types of argumentation except strictly theoretical logical or mathematical proofs or demonstrations. The thesis is basically an attempt to answer the question of what people are doing in face-to-face interactive argumentation based on an analysis of examples selected from the three specific cases of the television debate, the television interview, and the conversational discussion. The answer proposed is that face-to-face interactive argumentation can be view-ed as a type of collective information processing activity involving vocal and nonvocal information in search of a solution to a problem or an answer to a question. The problem solving or answer seeking activity is carried out interactively according to the turn-taking conditions that obtain for the different occasions of argumentation.

The problem of illiteracy has been the object of many studies during recent decades. In Ethiopia, a country which reports one of the lowest literacy rates in Africa, the Yemissrach Dimts Literacy Campaign (YDLC) was started in 1962. Its activities were concentrated to rural areas and directed primarly towards adults. This study is an evaluation of the Campaign. The investigation was conducted between 1974-1976 with the purpose of describing and analysing Campaign activities, focusing on student achievement, the teaching process, and benefits experienced by participants of the Campaign. Another important objective was to consider the role of the Campaign within a wider socio-economic and political context. ; CONTENTS: Part I: 1.
