1. Élections municipales et déterminants de l’alternance politique locale au Cameroun : Cas de Yabassi et Bafang.

Author

MBEBI, Raymond

Abstract

The municipal elections of 30 september 2013 in Cameroon devoted a new category of political entrepreneurs who are at the origin of certain changes in local political arenas. These entrepreneurs, mostly political defectors, have left their parties either by resignation or by exclusion, while retaining great legitimacy in the eyes of the population. On the strength of their popularity, they either created a new party or joined another formation, with the prospect of beating their original political party or the main rival party in the electoral district. By this victory, they produced a local political alternation. Our study focuses on the cases of Yabassi and Bafang. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Comparing Coffee Production in Cameroon and Tanganyika, c. 1900 to 1960s: Land, Labor, and Politics.

Abstract

Neither Cameroon nor Tanganyika ever belonged to the most important coffee producers in Africa, let alone in the world. However, coffee was crucial to the economic, social, and cultural transformation of some African societies during the first half of the twentieth century. In this chapter, I compare the Kilimanjaro region of Northern Tanganyika and the highlands of West Cameroon, giving special consideration to two basic factors of production: land and labor. These two regions were centers of coffee production in colonial times, and kept this role after independence. The chapter aims to demonstrate how both internal factors and external political and economic interests led to specific land and labor patterns. The production of a crop such as coffee for the international market imposes certain common conditions on agricultural economies, notably, for the combination of land, labor, and capital. In much of colonial Africa, there was a complex shift from communal land ownership, albeit often with individual usufruct, to individual ownership. Agricultural commercialization during the colonial period stimulated individual claims to land, and land sales, in many African communities. The expansion of cash crops also had a strong influence on changing patterns of land use. Since coffee is a permanent crop, in many regions land was no longer used for two or three years before being abandoned, but was occupied on a permanent basis. Crop production often led to large-scale recruitment of nondomestic labor and provided new opportunities for accumulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objectif : La mise en œuvre d’une stratégie de lutte efficiente et réussie requiert une évaluation récurrente des rapports qu’entretiennent les populations locales avec la maladie. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les connaissances, les attitudes et les pratiques (CAP) sur le traitement et la prévention du paludisme. Méthodologie et résultats : L’étude a été réalisée du 7 au 14 février 2019 auprès de 509 chefs de ménage des localités de Bafang et Bakassa dans la région de l’ouest-Cameroun à l’aide d’un questionnaire standard administré aux enquêtés. Les enquêtés associaient la transmission du paludisme à des piqûres de moustiques dans 76,5% de cas à Bafang (n= 305) contre 67% à Bakassa (n=59). En cas de crise du paludisme, 36,3% des enquêtés de la ville de Bafang (n = 151) et 48,4% des enquêtés de la localité de Bakassa (n = 45) se rendaient à l’hôpital. La tranche de la population restante pratiquait soit la médecine traditionnelle, soit l’automédication, s’approvisionnant en médicaments de pharmacie ou de rue. Pour le traitement et la prévention contre le paludisme, chaque foyer dépensait mensuellement en moyenne 8640 FCFA (13,17 €) à Bafang et 7300 FCFA (11,13€) à Bakassa. Les taux d’utilisation des moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticides (MII) par les enquêtés de Bafang et Bakassa étaient de 68,7% et 65,6% respectivement. Toutefois, d’autres moyens de prévention étaient pratiqués dans les 2 localités : l’assainissement de l’environnement, l’usage des sprays et les couvertures/rideaux. Conclusion et application des résultats : Les populations des localités d’étude ont un niveau acceptable de la connaissance du paludisme, des pratiques de lutte et de prise en charge des cas. Cependant le taux d’utilisation des MII reste en deçà de celui préconisé par l’OMS. Les programmes de sensibilisation des populations devraient améliorer cette situation.

ABSTRACT Objective: The implementation of an efficient and successful control strategy requires a recurrent evaluation of the relationship between local populations and the disease. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on the treatment and prevention of malaria. Methodology and results: The study was carried out from 7 to 14 February 2019 among 509 heads of household in the localities of Bafang and Bakassa in the western region of Cameroon using a standard survey. The respondents associated the transmission of malaria with mosquito bites in 76.5% of cases in Bafang (n = 305) against 67% in Bakassa (n = 59). In case of a malaria crisis, 36.3% of the respondents in the city of Bafang (n = 151) and 48.4% of the respondents in the locality of Bakassa (n = 45) went to the hospital. The remaining part of the population practiced either traditional medicine or self-medication, purchasing drugs from pharmacy or street. For treatment and prevention against malaria, each household spent an average of 8640 FCFA (13.17 €) in Bafang and 7300 FCFA (11.13 €) in Bakassa. The rates of use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) by respondents in Bafang and Bakassa were 68.7% and 65.6% respectively. However, other means of prevention were practiced in the two localities: environmental sanitation, the use of sprays and blankets/curtains. Conclusion and Application of Results: Populations in study areas have an acceptable level of knowledge of malaria, control practices, and case management. However, the ITN utilization rate remains below that recommended by WHO. Outreach programs should improve this situation.

Abstract

Abstract: A clay sample from the Bafang region (Cameroon) was analysed by a number of techniques which include grain size distribution, major and trace element''s determination, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The clay had an average magnetite content of 20%. The fine clay fraction with 25% of the raw material consisted of kaolinite/halloysite and goethite and magnetite as associated minerals. The study of decolouration of river waters showed that the clay can be used as adsorbent. Amounts of 8–9% discoloured the Nyong River waters from 267 to 33 PtCo colour units. When the pH of the water was lowered to 4.7 with sulfuric acid, only 4% clay was required and the colour obtained was 27 PtCo. The adsorption of humic substances on the clay was indicated by the IR adsorption bands of the hydroxyl groups. Aluminum sulfate used as the reference material was not able to eliminate all humic substances from the Nyong waters. When the clay was used as an adsorbent after coagulation by aluminum sulfate, 1.5% clay permitted to attain a colouration of 6 PtCo units. The settling velocity of the clay particles in the water at 1.5% content, was higher than 1m/h. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
