Abstract:

Five enzymes (α-esterase, β-esterase, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, malate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase) were scored in diploid tissue for 14 loci to determine the probable origin of the seed used to establish the plantation of Widdringtonianodiflora (L.) Powrie on Zomba Mountain, Malawi. Samples were drawn from the Zomba plantation and from Chambe and Thuchila natural forests on Mulanje Mountain. There were departures from Hardy–Weinberg expectations at most loci, which is a result of a deficiency in heterozygotes. Both the unweighted pair group method and single linkage clustering using genetic distances showed that the Zomba Mountain plantation seed source is more closely related to the Chambe population than to the Thuchila population.

Abstract:

This study assessed Unaccounted for Water (UFW) in Zomba City, Malawi in 2009 and quantified its real and apparent loss components. The study was carried out in the period January–May 2009 and focussed on three selected water supply zones (Airwing, Malonje and Sadzi) especially for determination of the components of non-revenue water (NRW). Field measurements of flow and utility records formed the basis of the study. It was established that the NRW for Zomba for the period 1999–2008 ranged from 20 to 36%. During the study period, the average UFW in the specific study areas was 13% of which 81% were real losses (Airwing); 62% with 58% real losses (Malonje); and 51% with 60% real losses (Sadzi). It was concluded that UFW for 2009 Zomba was above 23%, achieved by good performing water utilities in developing countries. Real losses were higher than apparent losses in all three specific study areas and this was driven by pressure. The study recommends real loss reduction through pipe replacement and improved pressure management, and apparent loss reduction through improved metering. Reduction of water losses is imperative in the wake of climate change and the need to attain Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract:

IntroductionWe recruited patients with schizophrenia four weeks post-discharge from Zomba mental hospital and followed them for six months to find out if care and support had an impact on their staying well and avoid relapse in their local communities.ObjectiveTo establish skills and knowledge family members hold to take care of their schizophrenic relative.AimsWe hypothesized that good support and care would be positively associated with good recovery and reduced relapse rate among schizophrenic patients.MethodThis Study was carried out in Zomba city and areas surrounding Zomba mental hospital. We used both quantitative and qualitative approach to research; simple random sampling was used to get a sample of 70 participants in this study. In-depth interviews were used to collect data from discharged schizophrenic patients while focus group discussion was used to get views of family members and nurses who take part in provision of care and support.ResultsOur findings indicate that where patients following discharge receive good support and care from family members the rate of relapse becomes low and patients also live a more productive life in society. However, 31% of family members felt they had no knowledge as how to handle their sick relative at home hence they were unsure on what to do to help.ConclusionWe recommend to intensify carer educatioin order to equip guardians with necessary knowledge which will in the long run reduce re-admissions and hence congestion in mental hospitals.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungDas Ösophaguskarzinom tritt im südöstlichen Afrika endemisch auf. In Malawi, welches zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt zählt, rangiert es noch vor der AIDS-Epidemie in allen Altersgruppen gleich verteilt mit einer Prävalenz von 12 % an erster Stelle. Laut Studien von Ferlay, Soerjomataram et al. (2014) erreicht die Inzidenz sogar 22,7/100 000, gefolgt von China mit 20,1/100 000 und fungiert damit weltweit an erster Stelle. Die Ätiologie dieses Plattenepithelkarzinoms ist unklar. Neben Toxinen werden auch spezielle Viren oder spezielle Ernährungsgewohnheiten für die Genese diskutiert. Aufgrund nicht vorhandener medizinischer Ressourcen haben die betroffenen Menschen in dieser Region kaum eine Perspektive. Chirurgische Optionen und chemotherapeutische Protokolle existieren de facto nicht. Im Oktober 2014 startete ein spezielles Förderprogramm ausgehend von Jenaer Chirurgen mit dem Ziel, ein Stentprojekt im Zomba Central Hospital zu implementieren. Das sogenannte „Ein-Stent-Ein-Leben-Projekt“. Das Zomba Central Hospital ist eines von 4 Krankenhäusern der Maximalversorgung in Malawi und hat ein Einzugsgebiet von etwa 2 Mio. Einwohnern.

Abstract:

A study to determine the optimum tilt angle for installing photovoltaic solar panels in Zomba district, Malawi, has been conducted. The study determined the optimum monthly tilt angles of PV solar panels and the seasonal adjustments needed for the panels in order to collect maximum solar radiation throughout the year. In this study, global solar radiation (GSR) on four tilted surfaces was measured. The north-facing surfaces were titled at angles of 0°, 15°, 20°, and 25°. The GSR data was used to determine the daily and monthly optimum tilt angles for the PV panels. The optimum tilt angles were found to be 0° or 25° depending on the time of the year. From October to February, the optimum tilt angle has been determined to be 0° and, from March to September, the optimum tilt angle is observed to be 25°. There are only two seasonal adjustments that are needed for PV solar panels in Zomba district and these should be carried out at the end of February and at the end of September. For fixed solar panels with no seasonal adjustments, the optimum tilt angle for the PV solar panels that are northfacing has been determined to be 25°.

Full text

Abstract:

There are good reasons why the remarkable outpouring of work on Southern African urban history that has taken place over the last twenty years has largely bypassed Malawi. To the overwhelmingly rural character of the Malawi economy must be added the weak impact of settler colonialism in the interwar period and hence the failure of Blantyre, one of the oldest colonial settlements in Central Africa, with a history going back to the foundation of the Blantyre mission in 1876, to develop as a substantial commercial centre. This feature was reinforced in turn by Sir Harry Johnston's decision, taken in 1891, to site the colonial capital at Zomba and by the construction in 1907 at Limbe, five miles from Blantyre, of the railway terminus for the protectorate.Urban development in Malawi was therefore not concentrated on a single dominant commercial and administrative centre, as was the case in neighbouring Tanganyika. Rather it was split between three equally impoverished settlements, containing small populations ranging in size in 1945 from approximately 4,600 in Blantyre and Zomba to 7,100 in Limbe. Far more Malawians, in consequence, experienced urban culture as labour migrants in Johannesburg or Salisbury, where an estimated 10,000 Malawians were living in 1938, than they did working at home.

Abstract:

AbstractFive rare earth-bearing minerals found in rocks of the Chilwa Alkaline Province, Malawi, are described. Zirconolite, occurring in nepheline syenite, is unusual in being optically zoned, and microprobe analyses indicate a correlation of this zoning with variations in Si, Ca, Sr, Th, U, Fe, Nb and probably water; it is argued that this zoning is a hydration effect. A second compositional zoning pattern, neither detectable optically nor affected by the hydration, is indicated by variations in Th, Ce and Y such that, although total REE abundances are similar throughout, there appears to have been REE fractionation during zirconolite growth from relatively heavy-REE and Th-enrichment in crystal cores to light-REE enrichment in crystal rims.Chevkinite is an abundant mineral in the large granite quartz syenite complexes of Zomba and Mulanje, and analyses are given of chevkinites from these localities. There is little variation in composition within each complex, and only slight differences between them; they are all typically light-REE-enriched. The Mulanje material was shown by X-ray diffraction to be chevkinite and not the dimorph perrierite, but chemical arguments are used in considering the Zomba material to be the same species. Other rare earth minerals identified are monazite, fluocerite and bastnäsite. These are briefly described and microprobe analyses presented.

Abstract:

In the history of Malawi's transport and communications, few modes of travel can be more unusual or fascinating than the flying-boat service from November 1949 to October 1950 between Southampton in Britain and Vaaldam near Johannesburg in South Africa, via Cape Maclear, a somewhat isolated and inaccessible spot on the south-west shore of Lake Malawi, 150 miles from the then administrative capital of Zomba and a further 50 miles from the main commercial centre of Blantyre. Although short-lived and of limited immediate practical importance, its long-term significance was considerable, whilst the details of how the service came about add to our knowledge of the early post-World War II history of colonial Nyasaland, and tell us a good deal about the Governor of the time, Geoffrey Colby.

Abstract:

A snapshot survey was conducted to assess ground and surface water contamination by atrazine and metolachlor in the Zomba/Bvumbwe region. Ground and surface water samples were collected and their atrazine and metolachlor were extracted using ethyl acetate. The extracts were cleaned up using florisil, concentrated on a rotary evaporator and detected using thin layer chromatography. No herbicide residue was detected in the groundwater samples. In surface water samples atrazine was detected in 38 % and metolachlor was detected in 15 % of the samples. The concentrations of the herbicides were at their highest soon after the first run off event after herbicide application. The concentrations, however were generally below the World Health Organization's (WHO's) recommended maximum guideline values (2 μg/ml atrazine and 10 μg/ml) metolachlor. Following the first run off event concentrations of herbicides steadily decreased with time, decreasing to zero within eight weeks of herbicide application at 37 % of the water sampling points that had herbicide contamination. Light soaking rains, higher clay content, flat land, longer distance between agricultural land and surface water body (filtering area), lower herbicide application rates and herbicide incorporation seemed to reduce herbicide export to surface water. Based on the study it is recommended that regular monitoring of pesticides in water should be done and that quantification of the pesticides should be done more accurately using a gas or liquid chromatograph with appropriate detectors. It is also recommended to follow good land husbandry practices to reduce export of pesticides to surface water bodies.

Abstract:

Em Pascal encontramos um duplo registro da questão moral: por um lado, o autor dos Pensées dirige uma dura crítica aos ideais morais da filosofia, especialmente aos do estoicismo; por outro, ele afirma uma "verdadeira moral" que "zomba da moral". A análise desse duplo registro será feita a partir de quatro contextos encontrados nos Pensamentos: 1- O contexto epistemológico da diferença entre espírito geométrico e espírito de finesse, ao qual se remetem os termos correlatos "moral do espírito" e "moral do julgamento"; 2- O contexto antropológico da "desproporção do homem" e da virtude como meio-termo; 3- O contexto antropológico - teológico da miséria e da grandeza do homem 4- O contexto metafísico-teológico da teoria das "três ordens de coisas". A "verdadeira moral" constitui-se, afinal, por dois movimentos: no primeiro, a moral pascaliana é simplesmente naturalista e compartilha do espírito mecanicista do seu século. Em seu segundo movimento, ela é teológica e constitui-se essencialmente como uma hermenêutica do desejo.

Abstract:

There is a shortage of orthopaedic surgeons in Malawi. Orthopaedic clinical officers (OCOs) treat trauma patients and occasionally perform major orthopaedic surgery. No studies have assessed the efficacy and safety of their work. The aim of this study was to evaluate their contribution to major orthopaedic surgery at Zomba Central Hospital. Data about orthopaedic procedures during 2006–2010 were collected from theatre books. We selected major amputations and open reductions and plating for outcome analysis and collected details from files. We compared patients operated by OCOs alone (‘OCOs alone’ group) and by surgeons or OCOs assisted by surgeons (‘Surgeon present’ group). OCOs performed 463/1010 major (45.8%) and 1600/1765 minor operations (90.7%) alone. There was no difference in perioperative outcome between both groups. OCOs carry out a large proportion of orthopaedic procedures with good clinical results. Shifting of clinical tasks including major orthopaedic surgery can be safe. Further prospective studies are recommended.

Abstract:

The Lonchaea polyhamata McAlpine, 1964 species-group is defined and five new species within it are described from the Afrotropical region namely, L. dama MacGowan sp. nov., L. mbeya MacGowan sp. nov., L. njombe MacGowan sp. nov., L. taita MacGowan sp. nov. and L. zomba MacGowan sp. nov. With the inclusion of the previously described L. polyhamata McAlpine, 1964 and L. teratosa McAlpine, 1964 the species group now comprises seven species, all from the Afrotropics.Afrotropical Lonchaea species which share character of 2 katepisternal setae with the L. polyhamata species group are also assessed. These include three new species namely L. aberdare MacGowan sp. nov., L. klynebergi MacGowan sp. nov. and L. muhavura MacGowan sp. nov. The male terminalia of the previously described L. dichaeta McAlpine, 1964 which also belongs to this wider group are illustrated for the first time.The male genitalia of all species are illustrated and a key to males of Afrotropical Lonchaea with two katepisternal setae is provided.

Abstract:

Introduction: Medicinal plants and ethnomedicinal studies continue playing a significant role in herbal products development and traditional knowledge conservation. Calls for ethnomedicinal studies have increased recently to unleash the potential in medicinal plants and document verbal traditional knowledge. This study recorded the medicinal plants administered by traditional practitioners in the Traditional Authority Chikowi area of Zomba district in Malawi. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted for 2 weeks in September 2017. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to traditional medicine practitioners using snowball sampling in the company of botany personnel from the National Herbarium and Botanical Gardens (NHBG). Data collected included plant local names, medicinal uses, parts used, preparation methods and administration methods to clients. Some species were photographed and identified in the field by the NHBG officers. Results: Five traditional practitioners were interviewed. Fifty-nine medicinal plant species belonging to 38 families were used as prophylaxis and treatment for 27 communicable and non-communicable diseases/conditions. Fabaceae family (papilionoideae 11.9%, mimosoideae 5.1%, caesalpinioideae 1.7%) had the largest percentage of species (18.6%). Preparation methods ranged from infusion (38.0%) to cream (2.0%). Of these, 86.0%, 12.0% and 2.0% were administered orally, topically and rectally respectively. Roots were the most used part (60.8%) while the least used was flowers (1.3%). Nearly two-thirds were trees or shrubs (32.2% each). Conclusion: The area has a rich biodiversity of medicinal plant species and knowledge scientists can use as a baseline for identification of plant species, bioactive compounds and preparations with useful medicinal properties.
