Abstract:
Abstract This study investigated the quality of groundwater with respect to septic systems in Kitwe West township located in the western part of Zambia's Kitwe district. The study area was selected because most households in the township use boreholes and septic systems as sources of drinking water and wastewater disposal facilities respectively. The study showed the presence of total coliforms in 90% of the boreholes while only 30% of the boreholes were contaminated with fecal coliforms rendering the water unsafe for drinking. The study revealed that there was no distinct relationship between distance from borehole to septic tank system and the quality of borehole water. It was however observed that for boreholes within a 15 m proximity to individual home-owned dump sites the level of fecal contamination increased as the distance from the boreholes to the dump sites decreased. The study has vividly shown that the location of boreholes and septic tank systems in the same plot of land exacerbated by the presence of solid waste dump sites in a residential plot that depends on groundwater is not advisable. This is because the safety of groundwater cannot be guaranteed even if technical specifications are followed for boreholes and septic tank systems.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the present municipal solid wastes (MSWs) management system, from an engineering management (EM) perspective, for the City of Kitwe while proposing a levers-driven sustainable municipal solid waste management (MSWM) model focussing on improving waste management (WM). Design/methodology/approach The research work involves four stages. First, a comprehensive review of literature is conducted on MSWM. Second, structured interviews are conducted with key experts in solid waste management in the City of Kitwe in order to enhance the knowledge inputs. Third, direct observations and an interview with a WM driver are conducted in order to understand; the collection, disposal and treatment options for MSWs. Lastly, a sustainable model for managing MSWs is proposed Findings The research findings indicate that the existing MSW system for the city is highly unsustainable and lacks EM methodologies. There are still a number of challenges in the management of MSWs which include: lack of proper collection and storage of MSWs; lack of an engineered landfill; lack of waste recovery and treatment systems; and lack of public education aimed at reducing and separating MSWs. Practical implications A correct and detailed database for waste generation, collection, treatment and disposal is needed for the City of Kitwe. The system is necessary for WM resources allocation as well as for planning sustainable WM projects. The proposed model has been developed based on the actual observations, data collection and analysis. Originality/value The research identifies a gap in the management of MSWs for the City of Kitwe. This work is original as no similar MSW model has been proposed globally and specific for a developing economy such as Africa.

Abstract:
Fire is among the factors influencing survival and development of plants in ecosystems. This study was conducted in frequently burnt and fire suppressed miombo woodlands of Ilunde and Kitwe, respectively. Tree stem density, basal area and composition of plants were determined. The methods used involved recording the numbers of tree stems, diameter at breast height and classifying vegetation to species level. In Kitwe forest, mean stem density of 582.7 ± 52.90 stems ha– was higher than 356.8 ± 38.98 stems ha– which was recorded in Ilunde forest (t = 15.98, df = 29, p < 0.05). Similarly, a higher mean tree basal area of 16.14 ± 1.32 m2 ha– was recorded in Kitwe forest, while 8.54 ± 0.94 m2 ha– being recorded in Ilunde forest (t = 3.34, df = 14, p < 0.05). Czekanowski’s similarity coefficients for trees, shrubs and saplings, and herbs and grasses were 0.46, 0.34 and 0.22, respectively. Fire adapted species were recorded in Ilunde forest. Fire prone miombo woodland had lower tree stem density, basal area and dominated by fire adapted species. Similarity coefficient between the two forests was also low. Prescribed burning is recommended in miombo woodlands for sustainable species composition and tree structure. Keywords: vegetation; composition, structure, fire prone, miombo.

Abstract:
Nkana slag dump (The Black Mountain) in Kitwe, Zambia, has existed since 1931 when the copper smelter was commissioned. This 20 million tonnes of smelter slag contains about 0.34 per cent - 4.5 per cent cobalt and average 1.2 per cent copper. When Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Limited was privatised, the slag dump was purchased by Anglo Vaal Mining (90% shareholding) who built a smelter in Chambishi in 2000 to recover the cobalt and copper in the slag. The smelter operations closed in 2006 and the slag dump was later sold to Nkana Alloy and Smelting Company Limited. Various small scale illegal miners (locally called Jerabos) started illegally reclaiming the slag and selling to Chinese buyers operating small scale mineral processing plants. In the recent past, the government surrendered its 10 per cent shareholding of the slag dump to Chapamo Minerals Processing Company owned by the small scale local community (Jerabos). The substandard technologies being used by these small scale plants yield very low recoveries of about 50-60 per cent for both cobalt and copper, thus discarding huge quantities of valuable cobalt and copper which could be recovered if appropriate technologies were applied. This potential revenue to the nation in taxes is being lost. These small scale plants have not invested in appropriate advanced technology which can yield above 90 per cent recoveries because of their quest to make quick and easy money. The serious safety shortcomings at the slag dump have resulted in unnecessary loss of lives. The recent incident on 21 June, 2018 claimed 11 lives. There is need to study the physical structure of the slag dump to provide clear understanding of the safety precautions to be taken while reclaiming the material. There is, therefore, an opportunity to increase recoveries of the cobalt and copper by applying appropriate advanced technologies to process the slag. This will result in improved revenue, thus realizing the true value.

Abstract:
Conjunctival papilloma is a benign growth arising from the stratified squamous epithelium of the conjunctiva. It is mostly a self-limiting growth. Conjunctival papilloma occurs commonly in male adults especially in their third and fourth decades of life. It rarely occurs in children. This is a case report of a six (6) year-old female patient who was seen at the Solwezi General Hospital Eye Clinic (SGHEC) with complaints of difficulties in seeing, sandy sensation and tearing of the right eye. The patient had a twelve-month history of multiple fleshy growths on the conjunctival surface of the right eye, referred from a rural health centre in the District. A clinical diagnosis of conjunctival papilloma was made at SGHEC and the child was referred to Kitwe Teaching Eye Hospitals (KTEH) for further management. At Kitwe Teaching Eye Hospital, a successful excisional biopsy of the conjunctival papilloma lesions on the right eye was conducted with adjunctive therapy of Mitomycin-C intraoperatively, and topical chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) after surgery. A definitive diagnosis of Benign Conjunctival Papilloma was confirmed for the patient’s condition, based on the results from the histopathology samples that were sent to the Cancer Disease Hospital in Lusaka.

Full text
Abstract:
Rutting is one of the most common distresses in asphalt pavements in Zambia. The problem is particularly prevalent at intersections, bus stops, railway crossings, police checkpoints, climbing lanes and other heavily loaded sections, where there is deceleration, slow moving or static loading. The most widely used methods to identify the source of rutting among flexible pavement layers are destructive methods; field trenching and coring methods. The Transverse Profile Analysis method (TPAM), which is a non-destructive method, was suggested by White et al. in 2002 as an alternative method, to avoid the expensive and destructive nature of the traditional methods. In this method, data from the transverse profile of the rutted section is used to deduce the layer of the pavement structure responsible for rutting failure. This study used the TPAM to determine the layers of pavement responsible for rutting on sections of the Chibuluma and Kitwe-Chingola Roads in Zambia. The method was first validated using the trenching method on the Kitwe-Ndola Road. Results from the TPAM showed good comparability with those from the trenching method. It was established that most of the rutting emanated from the surfacing layer. This is consistent with recent research indicating that most rutting occurs in the upper part of the asphalt surfacing. It was also established that the TPAM was a simpler, faster and less costly method of determining the source of rutting failure compared to the traditional methods.

Full text
Abstract:
Zambia’s economy is highly dependent on the copper mining industry for foreign export. It is well established that copper mining contributes to significant elevated metals in the environment, hence increasing the risk of metals exposure to human populations living in and around mining areas. Recent research has focused on the environmental impact of copper mining byproducts such as lead, cadmium, copper, cobalt and arsenic, found at elevated concentrations in the Copperbelt region of Zambia. Although the environmental metal concentrations are well known, the human health risks of exposure have not been fully addressed. Few studies have addressed metal exposure in communities adjoining mining activities in Zambia. The health impacts of increased metals exposure include: immune disturbance, gastrointestinal effects, various diseases such as: cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disease and decreased fertility in women. This study has investigated the relationship between environmental concentrations of metals and non-occupational human exposure and the most significant contributors to human exposure. A cross sectional human exposure study of 45 copper-mining town residents in Kitwe (exposed) and 48 non-mining town residents in Livingstone (unexposed) of similar socioeconomic and demographic characteristics aged between 20 and 30 years was undertaken to quantify metals exposure levels of Kitwe residents. This age group is most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and is therefore at an increased risk of adverse health impacts from elevated metal concentrations. Metal concentrations were determined for arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel, selenium and zinc in environmental (drinking water, indoor dust and soil) and biological (toenail) samples provided by participants. A questionnaire was also administered to establish potential factors influencing exposure including environment, behaviour and lifestyle factors. The results from this study suggest that residents in Kitwe are at an increased risk of metals exposure and consequently are also at an increased risk of being impacted by the adverse health effects associated with exposure. This study found elevated environmental and personal exposure concentrations shown to be comparable with, and in some cases higher, than other heavily industrialized regions. Metal concentrations were generally higher in Kitwe. Lead and arsenic in drinking water were most concerning having concentrations above acceptable health standards. Arsenic, copper and lead were elevated in soils. Copper and lead in dust were also high relative to other studies. The personal exposure concentrations (in toenails) most concerning were: cadmium, lead, copper and cobalt whose concentrations were either comparable or higher than studies reporting adverse health effects. Demographic and lifestyle characteristics did not show to be important contributors to exposure. This study found environmental metal concentrations to be the most important contributors to human exposure concentrations. The project has provided current information on personal exposure concentrations resulting from non occupational exposure to copper mining, as well as establishing background environmental and exposure concentrations which can be used as a reference for future studies. It is hoped that these findings will prompt further research into metals exposure and the associated health risks in order to provide a safer environment for Kitwe residents.

Abstract:

Health should be seen as a resource in daily life so people can feel satisfaction and social support network has been shown to have a significant impact on health. Another important determinant on health is education. There is a strong interrelationship between health and education. The centre of work in health education and promotion is the development of self-esteem. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of self-esteem, social network and experience of school education among girl’s 13-16 years, in Kitwe Zambia, in order to increase knowledge about how to learn to strengthen self-esteem and empowerment in girls. This investigation is a cross-sectional survey and we have chosen to use a quantitative method such as questionnaires. Our study received the approval of the University of Kristianstad Ethics Committee. The result shows that the girls think that the school is important for their future and that they enjoy going to school. But 34% of the girls felt that the school did not treat everybody the same and 50% of the girls were not involved at all in any student club. The results in our study showed that there were no statistical connections between level of self-esteem, social network and experience of school education. Our conclusion is that it did not matter what level of self-esteem the girls had, they had a good social network and a positive attitude towards school. A high level of self-esteem increases the young girls believes in themselves and that they can feel capable of taking a bigger part in the society. We hope that this study will underline the importance of women’s education, empowerment and self-esteem for their development. We believe that this may not change the world, but it is one good step in the development of a country.

Forest Conservation and People’s Livelihoods: Explaining Encroachment on Zambia’s Protected Forest Landscapes - The Case Of Mwekera National Forest, Kitwe, Copperbelt

Abstract

The conflicts between conservation objectives and the livelihood needs of local communities are intricate and difficult to resolve and yet the success of any conservation effort hinges on their solution. This is particularly true in forest conservation in Third World countries like Zambia, where rural populations depend directly on forest resources, which are in many cases protected.

Forest reserves in Zambia have undergone drastic changes over the years due to encroachment by such human activities as agriculture, charcoal burning and even settlements. This has led to the deforestation of most of them including Mwekera National Forest in Kitwe on the Copperbelt province. The Forest Department has attempted to involve the people in the management of these resources in a bid to redress the trend. But the fundamental causes for the encroachment and deforestation are not clear. This study was focused on unearthing the underlying causes of encroachment and the subsequent deforestation of Mwekera National Forest. This was done through a qualitative ethnographic approach employing individual interviews, focused group discussions, observations and pictures of relevant phenomena. The target groups included the forest communities living in and around Mwekera National Forest as well as government forestry officials at both local and national levels. The study was based on nature-culture theory, knowledge systems theory as well as the participatory approach.

The study reveals that macro-economic policies such as privatisation of the mines has undermined people’s livelihoods while the inefficient and bureaucratic land delivery system made “vacant” protected forest land an attractive option. The policy contradictions between the forest sector and other sectors such as energy, agriculture and land have not helped matters. Organisational constraints on the Forest Department such as its inadequate human, financial and other resources coupled with the delay in its transformation to a more autonomous Forest Commission have not secured protected forests. Its old centralist management approach has made participation by local people difficult to effect despite being provided for under new forestry policy and law. This has meant that decisions made by officials lack meaningful involvement and support of the local people, thereby seriously hindering effective forest protection. Herein lies one major cause of encroachment.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the causes and consequences of growing flexibility in gender divisions of labour in Kitwe, Zambia. It examines the relationship between four contemporary trends (1990-2011): worsening economic security, growing flexibility in gender divisions of labour in the form of increasing female labour force participation and occupational desegregation, and the weakening of gender stereotypes. The evidence for these trends comes from census data, earlier ethnographies and my own qualitative research (April 2010 − March 2011). The analysis draws upon a theoretical framework that interprets sex-differentiated practices as resulting from internalised gender stereotypes, cultural expectations and patterns of resource access. The substantive chapters of the thesis consider alternative hypotheses. Did worsening economic security trigger flexibility in gender divisions of labour, which then weakened gender stereotypes (Chapter 4)? Alternatively, was such flexibility actually contingent upon a prior rejection of gender stereotypes, due to particular formative experiences (Chapter 5) or gender sensitisation (Chapter 6)? This thesis argues that worsening economic security led many families to sacrifice the social gains accrued by complying with cultural expectations of gender divisions of labour in exchange for the financial benefits of female labour force participation. But occupational desegregation is partly attributed to a prior rejection of gender stereotypes. Flexibility in gender divisions of labour seems to undermine gender stereotypes and related status inequalities, by enabling exposure to a critical mass of women performing roles that they were previously presumed to be incapable and that are valorised because they were historically performed by men. Common forms of gender sensitisation in Zambia were rarely said to be independently persuasive; impact generally appears contingent upon exposure to a critical mass of women in socially valued domains. Sensitisation also seems more effective when it enables participants to see that others also endorse gender equality. This can increase confidence in the objective validity of one’s own egalitarian beliefs and also shift cultural expectations.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the mechanisms behind the control of a typical two line kite, where the lines are attached to the kite side by side. This arrangement gives the kite flyer the ability to apply a roll angle to the kite, which then results in a yawing motion. The reason for this yaw rotation has not been adequately described previously. The definitions of roll and yaw for a kite have been re-defined to match the real world behaviour of the kite-bridle-line system. Specifically, these are defined as rotations relative to the lines rather than the kite itself. This detail has been neglected in previous research, and has a significant effect on the turning behaviour of a kite. A static model of a kite represented by flat disks was created. This model allows the out of balance forces and moments to be found for a kite when it is held at any position. When the kite is held with a roll angle applied, the disk angles of attack become unequal. This causes a change in the magnitude, direction, and point of action of the aerodynamic forces on each disk, which can lead to a yaw moment. While this does not give a complete picture of how a kite turns, it does explain one of the two mechanisms that cause a kite to begin to yaw when a roll angle is applied. The other mechanism is due to the velocity of the roll rotation, and is out of the scope of this thesis since a dynamic analysis would be required. The static model showed that any variation to kite geometry or any parameter that affects the equilibrium position of the kite will affect turning response. The most important of these parameters for a simple kite represented by two disks is the dihedral angle. A minimum negative dihedral angle (or anhedral) is required for a kite to turn in the expected direction when a roll angle is applied. The value of the minimum anhedral angle required for this behaviour varies with other parameters, but is generally between 8° and 20°. Other parameters such as bridle geometry also affect the turning response of a kite, primarily because they alter the equilibrium positions of the kite and line. Altering these equilibrium positions has a strong effect on turning response, since it changes the initial disk angles of attack. Additionally, if the kite and line are not aligned perpendicular to each other (which is a rare condition for a kite) a roll angle further changes the disk angles of attack, since the roll angle is applied about an axis relative to the line rather than the kite. An investigation into the effect of varying wind velocity on turning response showed that it has an important effect. Some kites will reverse their response to a given roll angle at some wind velocities, which could make the kite very difficult to control. Additionally, some kites can alter their equilibrium positions sharply with wind velocity, again causing varying turning behaviour as the wind conditions change. Future work should examine the dynamic turning response of kites. A dynamic simulation could be used to examine how the turning response of a kite is influenced by the rate at which a control input is applied. Additionally, the behaviour of the kite once the initial turning movement has begun could be assessed.

Abstract:
Although kites have been around for hundreds of years and put to many uses, there has so far been no systematic study of their performance. This research attempts to fill this need, and considers particularly the performance of kite anemometers. An instrumented kite tether was designed and built to study kite performance. It measures line tension, inclination and azimuth at the ground, :sampling each variable at 5 or 10 Hz. The results are transmitted as a digital code and stored by microcomputer. Accurate anemometers are used simultaneously to measure the wind local to the kite, and the results are stored parallel with the tether data. As a necessary background to the experiments and analysis, existing kite information is collated, and simple models of the kite system are presented, along with a more detailed study of the kiteline and its influence on the kite system. A representative selection of single line kites has been flown from the tether in a variety of wind conditions. The results from these experiments are analysed to obtain general performance measurements for these kites in real, turbulent, winds. The analysis is taken a stage further to evaluate the kites for anemometry, and to study the dynamics of the kite system. The most suitable kites for anemometry are identified, together with the wind conditions in which they may be used and the wind information available from measurements at the tether. The study ends with a review, and a discussion of useful areas of further work. [This digital (pdf ) version of the thesis was created in August 2005. The content is identical to that of the original paper copy of 1986, although the layout and pagination differs in detail. Readers should note that anemometer calibrations described in Hobbs (1994) suggest that the windspeed values given in this thesis are incorrect by a few percent: however, the general conclusions about kite performance stated in the thesis are unaffected by these changes.]

Abstract:
A Traction kite is a controllable high performance kite used to pull other objects in a desired direction. In recent years Traction kites have been used for Kite Surfing and Kite Buggying, generating significant sales revenue. In conjunction with Peter Lynn Kites Ltd, this aim of this project was to develop testing methods to determine Traction kite performance. An additional aim was to lay the fundamental groundwork of kite theory to enable further research on kites. The original testing method used a car-based test rig, in which kites were flown from the roof of the car while driving down a beach. By measuring each kite's line angle and tension under various conditions, the performance of each kite could be determined. Despite extensive development this method was only moderately successful. In particular, the tangent relationship between a kite's line angle and Lift to Drag ratio caused large experimental errors. In light of the difficulties, a circular testing method was developed for testing Traction kites. It was found that if a kite was flown indoors, in a horizontal circle around the flyer, the performance of the kite was related to the geometry of the test setup. This method was far less sensitive to measurement error and provided very good kite performance results. Unfortunately, this method is limited by the size of the required test site. Investigations of kite theory determined that the stable flying location of a kite could be predicted and this led to other key flight characteristics. In particular, the structural requirements of a kite can be addressed and the initial turning properties of a kite can be determined.

Abstract:
In 2019, the Commonwealth of Learning (CoL) invited proposals for participation in the Skills in Demand (SID) project. The model of the project involved the identification of skills that are in demand and partnerships were encouraged between training institutions and industry partner who met the criteria. Luanshya Technical and Business College (LTBC) partnered with the Nakadoli Furniture Cooperative (NFC) on the Copperbelt Province in Kitwe and submitted its proposal which was successful. This was followed by a visit by the then CoL Education Specialist Mrs. Terry Neal who visited LTBC and the NFC to appreciate the existing situation. Mrs. Neal also conducted a project design workshop where the problems to be solved were identified, skills to be developed were determined, learner’s personas were established and the learner journey was mapped out. The project plan was then drawn which also identified the stakeholders who would be critical to the success of the project. // A contribution agreement was drawn between the CoL and LTBC for the implementation of the project. The project is funded by the CoL with LTBC as the implementers in conjunction with master craftsperson’s from the NFC. The project involved a number of factors that promote inclusive learning using basic technology such as the mobile phones and laptops as well as the Raspberry pi, a gadget which provides free internet access for the Moodle lessons uploaded on in. LTBC is developing the open education resources for the CoL while CoL has provided the Moodle platform, consultants, the raspberry Pi and other support services to LTBC. LTBC was responsible for the recruitment and enrollment of ten (10) master craftsperson’s and 50 apprentices to participate in the work base training at the NFC. // The main outcomes of the project covered a range of areas including inclusive access and use of technology for all participants in the project. It also aims to promote gender inclusion and equity in technical skills training especially for the women and youth. The baseline study that was conducted revealed that most of the would-be participants in the project live below the poverty line. The is the hope of LTBC and the CoL that the Skills in Demand Project will result into reduced poverty through increased sales revenues, increased household income, reduced gender discrimination in the furniture industry, increased employment especially after graduation as well as increased registration of businesses for youths and women.

Abstract:
Purpose. The goal of the present article is to study various means of creating a literary character. Analyzing the creative work of a famous English writer William Somerset Maugham and basing on the story «The Kite» an attempt is made to scrutinize Maugham’s peculiar style and lexico-stylistic devices he employs to create the main female characters of the story «The Kite». The main methods used in the research are: the method of contextual analysis and the descriptive-analytical method. Results. The results of the research revealed that the peculiar characteristic of the protagonists of the story “The Kite” is the author’s strong presence. Portraying the characters of Missis Sunbury and Miss Bevan, Somerset Maugham pays special attention to precise description of their appearances and manner of speech. Employing various lexico-stylistic devices, S. Maugham creates extraordinarily vivid characters. Practical implications. The received results can be used in teaching Stylistics of the English language, stylistic analysis of the text as well as theory and practice of translation.
