THE G77 AND ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS FOR AFRICA'S FOOD SECURITY
Authors: Nkrumah Bright 
Published: January 2018

Developing countries demonstrated their collective commitment to address their common economic problems through the formation of the Group of 77 (G77). The coalition has attempted to use its caucus to influence the reform of major international trade and investment policies through the United Nations (UN) fora. Two of such successes were the adoption of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA). These instruments seek to improve Africa’s poverty and food insecurity by making the international market accessible to African farmers and prevent dumping of developed countries’ agricultural commodities through phasing out high subsidies. Yet, to adopt a legal instrument at the UN level is one thing, but to implement it by states is another. These and other agro-trade initiatives have grossly failed to benefit the African rural farmers and combat chronic hunger. Against this backdrop, it is logical to conclude that the G77 has failed to transform its lofty ideal into practice. In summary, while this bloc of nations has previously managed to maintain some degree of solidarity along essential socio-economic issues, the existence of its internal differences remain worrying for the advancement of Africa’s food security agenda
THE G77@50 AND THE STRUGGLE FOR A DECOLONIAL FUTURE
Authors: Zondi Siphamandla 
Published: January 2018

Â This introductory article outlines the importance of the subject discussed in this edition of UNISAâ€™s Latin American Report, the Group of 77+ China. It seeks to locate this discussion at the centre of the search for an alternative world to one that remains haunted by colonial legacies and new imperial designs. It makes the point that the G77 is born into an evolving pursuit of a dream for a world in which former colonies realise fully their aspirations for a future that is good for all. It shows that the G77 has played a crucial role in this, while it also poses questions about the Groupâ€™s ability to implement what it works so hard to reach consensus on.
NIGERIAN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING LECTURERSâ€™ DIFFICULTY IN CONSTRUCTING STUDENTSâ€™ TEST ITEMS
Authors: Opateye Johnson Ayodele 
Published: January 2018

Â This paper examines the level of difficulty lecturers experience in constructing test items for various types of tests based on gender and institutional mode of delivery in an Open and Distance Learning higher education context. Descriptive cross-sectional survey research was adopted as the research paradigm, using lecturers from one single mode and one dual mode ODL institution in South West Nigeria as the study population. Stratified simple random sampling techniques were used to select 240 lecturers as the sample. Three research questions and two hypotheses guided the studyâ€™s investigation. A questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.78 using Cronbachâ€™s alpha value was used as the research instrument. Frequency, percentages, t-test statistics and charts were utilised to analyse the data. The results showed that ODL lecturers exhibited moderate levels of difficulty in test item construction. Female ODL lecturers found case study, multiple choice, matching, essay, and completion items more difficult to generate than their male counterparts did. There was a significant difference in the difficulty male and female ODL lecturers experienced in constructing test items. Significant differences were also found in the difficulty experienced by single and dual mode ODL lecturers in construct test items. The findings of the study have implications for the capacity development of lecturers, ODL institution management, and test experts in order to improve lecturersâ€™ capacities in test items construction.

Published: January 2018

Â Nurses and other healthcare professionals practice their professions within culturally diverse societies. In order to make meaningful culture-care decisions and actions to their clients, and to provide culturally congruent and sensitive nursing care; nurses should understand the diverse cultures of their patients. The study sought to understand folk practices related to childbearing in the African context in order to promote cultural awareness and knowledge amongst nurses. The aim of this article is to present some of the practices regarding childbearing in Southern African ethnic groups, using a qualitative descriptive design. Participants included a convenience sample of six elderly women from various ethnic groups in South Africa, Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland. Data were collected through individual interviews in the form of oral narratives and thematic content analysis was done. The three themes that emerged from data, namely sexual practices, pre-, intra-, and post-natal care practices, and baby care practices were found to be potentially beneficial or potentially harmless and, therefore, could be preserved and accommodated in the nursing care practice.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN HISTORY PROJECT (SAHP) OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION â€“ A REFLECTION ON ACHIEVEMENTS, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES: 2001â€“2006
Authors: Tabata Wonga 
Published: January 2018

Â This article deals with the contribution of the South African History Project (SAHP) to the development and strengthening of History in the schooling system. One of the key components of the South African History Project was Oral History and Indigenous Knowledge Systems. The national project trained hundreds of school and office-based educators in oral history methodology. It also established ties with the heritage sector. Through oral history, South African historical voices became more diverse and new history materials were developed and introduced in South African public schools. This led to a fresh interpretation of history and an introduction of new materials with a focus on Africa.
A SUPPORT GROUP PROGRAMME WITH INFORMAL CAREGIVERS TO PREVENT ELDER ABUSE
Authors: Ananias Janetta , Strydom Herman , Ellis Suria 
Published: January 2018

The article aims to describe an evaluation on the effectiveness of a support group with informal caregivers of older people in an urban and rural community setting in Namibia. The support group programme equipped informal caregivers with knowledge on aging and caregiving. In addition, coping skills and support were offered to the informal caregivers. Standardised measuring instruments that assessed the outcome of the group at pre-test, post-test and postponed post-test were the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the Potentially Harmful Behaviour (PHB) scale. The Group Engagement Measure (GEM) assessed the group processes at the fourth, sixth and eighth group sessions. Results indicated that rural caregivers experienced more burden than urban caregivers. Generally, potential harmful behaviour has decreased significantly. Caregivers from the urban group were more engaged in the group process than the rural group. Support group interventions indeed contributed positively towards community care of older people.Â Implications for social work practice are discussed.

Father times & mother spaces. Généralités sur la question de savoir de quoi sont faits les films
Authors: Lambert Dominique 
Published: January 2018

Le langage et avec lui aussi le langage cinématographique sont devenus les objets de désirs triviaux. Toutefois, nous gagnerions beaucoup à nous battre contre l'injuste et absurde cohérence de bien des révisions historiques déchirantes en organisant la hiérarchie morale et fidèle de notre mémoire.
Paul Klee disait : l'Art rend visible les choses. Considérant la charge potentielle d'objectivité qu'il porte en lui, nous pourrions facilement grâce au cinéma faire nôtre cette affirmation. L'ambition de celui-ci étant de donner à la réalité un rapport dynamique, il se nourrit la plupart du temps des aspects et des formes différents de la vision. En dépit de l'augmentation constante du négatif et du moins*, la vision remplit le vide et le néant, si bien qu'à la fin, l'image demeure gravée : le visible immédiat a pris congé cependant que le voile est levé tôt ou tard sur le sens caché-Mais si l'illusion demeure dans tous les cas, cela n'arrive toujours qu'en termes de mise en lumière.

Intangible Memories: Creating the New York University (NYU) Tisch Asia School of the Arts Archive. Possible Models for Future Research and Collaboration between Film Schools
Authors: Kelly Gabrielle 
Published: January 2018

Tisch Asia, based in Singapore is a graduate film program with the same curriculum as NYU Film School in New York City. Founded in 2007 it includes programs in Film, Animation, Dramatic Writing and International Media Producing and its students’ films have achieved success at major film festivals including Sundance, the Academy Awards, Toronto, Cannes and others. Although the program had archived some student works from its inception, closure of the school after seven years’ existence provided the impetus to archive student films in a more comprehensive way in order to preserve the intangible memory of the film school. Selected student films are being archived from the Tisch Asia Graduate Film Program, reflecting the best practices of preservation, promotion and education, and in order to record the unique nature of the program where students from all over the world shot their films throughout Asia and beyond. In formulating the best system for this Archive, questions arose as to how other film schools handle issues of copyright, financing, preservation and curation of student works and their ultimate use and purpose, as well as ways in which collaboration could lead to better Archive management and deployment for all interested film schools. More research into current practices by film schools could inspire more schools to start Archives and to benefit from shared experience. Better education in film schools about how works should be archived will help filmmakers preserve their own work ; currently there is little attention paid to this subject with subsequent loss of some potentially important works.
As rich sources of content for many reasons, including as documentation of a particular time and place, promotion of student and film school and creation of content which may be repurposed at some later time, archives of students’ films present challenges and inspiration to future students, scholars and media professionals.
La pérennité des oeuvres pour instruments et électronique à l’époque du numérique
Authors: Gerzso Andrew 
Published: January 2018

Jusqu’au milieu du XXe siècle, la musique classique s’est appuyée sur un ensemble de pratiques stables qui ont garanti sa pérennité : la partition écrite, la notion de l’interprétation, la lutherie instrumentale, la tradition orale (surtout) et écrite de son enseignement et les institutions (conservatoires, ensembles, orchestres ...).
L’avènement du numérique dans la création musicale, à partir des années 1970, bouleverse ce paysage et nous oblige à repenser ces pratiques notamment toutes celles qui concernent la pérennité des oeuvres d’un caractère nouveau ayant émergé ces trente dernières années – en particulier les oeuvres pour instruments traditionnels et électroniques. De surcroît, les arts numériques -à peine installés - se trouvent déjà en danger à travers la multiplication et la fragilité des standards ainsi que des formats numériques (cf : le phénomène du «Digital Dark Age» ).
Si la création musicale contemporaine a l’ambition de prolonger la tradition de la musique classique, elle devra trouver les techniques, modalités et pratiques pour s’assurer de sa pérennité face à la volatilité du numérique.
A Lyon et en région lyonnaise. C'est dur d'être étudiant étranger
Authors: Oudet Maurice 
Published: January 2018

L'enquête sur les étudiants étrangers de la COURLY (Communauté Urbaine de Lyon) a été réalisée en décembre 1985 et janvier 1986.
Elle révèle que la situation de ces étudiants est plus difficile qu'on ne pourrait le supposer. L'auteur estime cependant qu'elle pourrait être nettement améliorée si ceux qui les côtoient prenaient davantage conscience des difficultés, voire du rejet dont un bon nombre de ces étudiants ont à souffrir.
L'étude de Maurice Oudet est composée de deux parties : l'une présente les résultats de l'enquête (le questionnaire utilisé figure en annexe), la seconde avance une série de propositions susceptibles d'améliorer l'accueil et de faciliter la rencontre culturelle.
Nous n'avons retenu que la première partie mais on peut se procurer l'enquête complète auprès du Centre Chrétien Universitaire Pasteur, 69, rue Pasteur 69007 LYON.

Parmi les sociologues qui se consacrent à l'immigration , Augustin Barbara occupe une place à part en raison de sa spécialisation dans l'étude des couples mixtes. On se souvient notamment de son livre " Mariages sans frontières paru en 1985 aux éditions du Centurion.
Dans la note qui suit, il examine le cas de deux couples mixtes franco-portugais et en tire quelques réflexions de caractère plus général.
Jeunes entre eux. Quand des policiers dialoguent avec des "beurs".
Authors: Minces Juliette , Videau André 
Published: January 2018

Nous avons souhaité réunir autour d'une table ronde policiers et jeunes issus de l'immigration. Il nous semblait qu'ainsi pourrait s'ouvrir un débat qui a trop rarement lieu, où chacun pourrait s'exprimer ouvertement. C'est ce qui s'est produit, au cours d'un entretien dont nous publions ici des extraits et qui a permis aux intéressés, non seulement de se mieux connaître, mais encore d'envisager de nouvelles rencontres dans un proche avenir.
Les trois policiers, dont le plus âgé a vingt-sept ans, sont tous militants actifs de la Fédération autonome des syndicats de police (FASP) et responsables ou correspondants, dans leurs secteurs respectifs, de groupes "Jeunes" de la police.
Quant aux deux "Beurs", ils ont créé une association de jeunes d'origine maghrébine dans une cité de banlieue qui semble connaître un certain nombre de problèmes.
Les uns et les autres ont préféré garder l'anonymat. Nous appellerons les policiers : Frédéric, René, Denis et les jeunes Beurs : Karim et Hamadi.
Des "pirattes" sur les lagunes du Bénin
Authors: Delbos Geneviève 
Published: January 2018

En Afrique comme ailleurs , la destruction des économies villageoises traditionnelles est à l'origine de l'exode rural d'abord, de l'émigration clandestine ensuite. Un des moyens de stopper cette hémorragie est de prendre le problème à sa source et de favoriser la modernisation et la compétitivité des activités agricoles.
Jusqu'à présent , les organismes internationaux et les Etats occidentaux se sont contentés d'envoyer des «experts » qui ont appliqué à la lettre des recettes éprouvées... dans les campagnes d'Europe ou d'Amérique du Nord. Les résultats se sont en général révélés désastreux !
Loin de tout dogmatisme et de tout paternalisme , quelques initiatives — la plupart du temps individuelles — ont permis d'adapter aux réalités africaines des techniques expérimentées en Europe. C'est le cas de ces paludiers bretons de Guérande, qui ont transplanté leur savoir-faire dans les marais salants de Ouidah (Bénin).
