Cooperative education and training at the grassroots in Nigeria

Faced with evidence of an appallingly low standard of living which the vast majority of men and women in Nigeria have despite two decades of development and cooperative movements, the Federal and State Governments now attempt to ensure that the real target of development are the human beings who will remain central to all redefinitions and to all revised strategies. This study proposes a theoretical framework for cooperative education and training programmes in the rural areas of Nigeria in order to raise the level of understanding and performance of cooperative members. The approach is primarily an amalgam of the general process model of organization systems and McGrath's problem - based/problem - solving systems. Application of the approach subsequently suggests a method of scientific inquiry which this paper conceives as the Cooperative Education Working Model. To be most effective, Nigerian cooperators must regard cooperative education and training as a vital benefit which their membership provides for them.     

Specimen preparation for ABO determination of various kinds of blood stains

Trying to optimize the preparation of blood stains, we found methanol fixation not to produce very good results for the determination of ABO blood group antigens. It is advantageous to transfer blood stains before testing to cotton cloth. This transfer is also of practical use if blood stains are to be saved on a smooth surface for lateral determination. We testet on 35 different carrier materials, on which blood stains in casework often were found, whether blood grouping gave better results on either the original material or after transfer. Results are shown on a table. The test revealed, that solubility of the stain in aqua dest is a good sign for a successful transfer. Blood stains on pine-wood soil, soil and loam were not suited for ABO grouping.     

Cardiac rupture due to severe fatty infiltration in the right ventricular wall

An extremely rare case of sudden death caused by cardiac rupture due to severe fatty infiltration in the right ventricular myocardium is presented. The patient, a 74-year-old woman, had no history of chest trauma, hypertension, or pulmonary disease. The autopsy showed a small tear in the right ventricle and cardiac tamponade, but no coronary artery lesion. In the right ventricular myocardium, muscle fibers were definitely atrophic or absent, with massive fatty replacement. Fatty infiltration of the myocardium, if severe, can be a cause of serious cardiac dysfunction or, occasionally, sudden death.     

Fluidity of cadaveric blood after sudden death: Part I. Postmortem fibrinolysis and plasma catecholamine level

In rats, fibrinolytic activity and plasma catecholamine levels increased rapidly after death. Postmortem fibrinolysis was affected by the method of sacrifice, but catecholamine level was not always affected. Immediately after death, the plasma adrenalin level was higher than the noradrenalin level, but then adrenalin remained unchanged or tended to decrease while noradrenalin tended to increase gradually with time. In human subjects after rapid death, the plasma catecholamine and fibrinolytic activity levels were high. However, in cases after slow death they were low.     

Medicolegal aspects of death of patients with cerebral palsy in Japan

A total of 24 cases of patients who had had cerebral palsy, recorded between 1980 and 1986, in the Annuals of the Medico-Legal Autopsy Cases in Japan, were investigated to determine their ages and causes of death. Fourteen died of illness, four in accidents, and six by murder. Most of those dead of illness had been under the age of 16, and the disease most frequently cited as a cause of death was pneumonia. The four persons who died by accident were over 16 years old. All of the six murder victims were killed by their mother.
