- Description: The blanching activities and hence bioavailabilities of the cream, ointment and fatty ointment preparations of Nerisone and Temetex (diflucortolone valerate 0.1%) were evaluated using an occluded and unoccluded blanching assay. These products were compared to Synalar ointment and cream (fluocinolone acetonide 0.025%), established topical corticosteroid preparations. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between similar formulations of diflucortolone valerate. Significant differences were noted between diflucortolone valerate and fluocinolone acetonide preparations.

- Description: Geochemical analysis of soil samples taken from the area underlain by the Regenstein alkaline diatreme indicated potential areas for Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, and these were subsequently proved by drilling. The pipelike body, emplaced into quartzites of the Damara Supergroup, consists of lithic and volcanic breccias. The breccias have been intruded, first by phonolite dykes, and then by numerous bodies of alkaline mafic and ultramafic rocks.

- Description: The effect of concentration and occlusion time on the ability of Betnovate ® cream (betamethasone 17-valerate 0.1%) to produce skin blanching was assessed. Generally, increased concentration or occlusion time produce and increase in the degree of blanching observed, however, a plateau stage is eventually reached where no further increase of blanching occurs.

The release of betamethasone 17-valerate from extemporaneous dilutions of a proprietary topical cream

- Description: Six different vehicles for topical use were used to prepare 50% dilutions of Betnovate@ (betamethasone 17-valerate, 0.1 %) cream. Blanching assessment was undertaken immediately after preparing the various dilutions and at 1 and 3 months thereafter. Few statistically significant differences were noted between any of the preparations tested indicating that the rate of release of betamethasone 17-valerate is relatively unaffected by dilution. All preparations were assayed by a stability indicating high pressure liquid chromatographic technique for corticosteroid content. A diminution in the content of betamethasone 17-valerate in the E45 dilution was found 14 months after preparation. All other formulations tested were found to comply with label claim specifications.

- Description: The simultaneous determination of trimethoprim, sulphamethoxazole and N4-acetylsulphamethoxazole in serum and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography using sulphafurazole as internal standard is described. The separation was achieved on a reversed-phase column employing acetic acid-methanol as the mobile phase with spectrophotometric detection at 230 nm. Precise simultaneous quantitative analysis of the relative components has been achieved at levels of 0.1 μg/ml for both sulphamethoxazole and its N4-acetyl metabolite using 1 ml of serum or urine.

- Description: CHRISTMAS Day 1985 in Howick/Mpophomeni marked the 34th week of the strike by Sarmcol workers over the recognition of trade union rights by the Company. While local white residents of HowicK planned their Christmas festivities the Sarmcol strikers still entirely dependant on the small weekly food parcels supplied by MAWU, planned to bring home to local Sanncol management their determination to secure their reinstatement at the factory and the recognition of MAWU. Accordingly on Christmas Day the strikers and their families dressed in black, took buses into the white CBD of Howick to attend the morning Christmas church service at the local Anglican Church — the church of Senior Sarmcol management. Most of the strikers were told to sit in a corner wing of the church while the others stood outside. However at Communion the white Anglicans including Mr. Sampson, the Sarmcol financial director, were joined by the Anglicans amongst the strikers. The morning service was sombre but peaceful. After the service the strikers who rwere unable to afford the transport fares decided to walk back to their homes which in terms of South Africa’s grand apartheid plans have been located over 20 kins from Howick. The march which was led by sympathetic priests from the area, was closely followed by the SA Police who waited until the strikers had gone beyond the white residential areas and then broke up the procession and forced the strikers to board buses from the nearby Merrivale bus rank. In order to keep Christmas a peaceful day the strikers did not resist and boarded the buses back to their township. In the township the strikers gathered outside the church for a brief discussion and prayer and reconfirmed their determination to continue their struggle against BTR irrespective of the cost.

- Description: After SACCOLA's expulsion from the International Organization of Employers in 1983 the committee decided to explore areas of domestic activity consistent with its objectives of discussing employer views on labour affairs, and representing these views where agreement amongst employers existed. As the National Manpower Commission had shortly afterwards published a lengthy report dealing, inter alia, with the role of the Industrial Court and the definition of the unfair labour practice concept, SACCOLA set up a working party to see if employer consensus could be achieved on these issues. SACCOLA succeeded in agreeing a 18 page document, which was submitted to the Department of Manpower on 28 August 1984. This was subsequently acknowledged by the Director General of Manpower to have been one of the most comprehensive reactions to this report. In his reaction to the report, however, Dr Van der Merwe noted that legislative change would be greatly facilitated by labour/employer agreement, and he therefore suggested that SACCOLA should discuss its proposals with union federations.

They said this offer is ail they need to make to keep their relative position in the labour market. we believe that the Eskom offer is contrary to the substance and spirit of Arbitration Award which forced Eskom, in 1988, to grant a 14,8% average increase in place of the 10% average increase Eskom implemented unilaterally m July last year. Dr Dry, the Eskom personnel manager, read out from an NUM pamphlet issued after the arbitrators raised the wages. He read out this one sentence. Today, through unity, the minimum wage rates as Eskom are amongst the highest in the country for workers living in compounds.

Rainfall characteristics, rainfall reliability and the definition of drought : Baringo district, Kenya

- Description: Monthly rainfall data for Kabarnet District Office, together with comments taken from the Baringo District Annual Report, are used here to examine the relationship between rainfall characteristics and agricultural drought experienced over the period 1915 to 1943 in order to establish the meteorological criteria for a definition of drought applicable to the former Kerio Native Land Unit, Baringo District, Kenya. The concept of reliable rainfall as a drought threshold is also examined. The analysis shows that the occurrence of drought was related to both the rainfall total and to the seasonal distribution. The meteorological criteria for drought and for reliable rainfall were found to differ between the upland cultivators and the lowland pastoralists, the latter experiencing a higher frequency of drought.
