169-181, 2000 Tooth Size of People in Wabag, Papua New Guinea
Anthropological Science 108 (2), 169-181, 2000 Tooth Size of People in Wabag, Papua New Guinea Highlanders and its Comparison with Pacific Peoples Eisaku Kanazawa, Masanobu Matsuno, Hideyuki Sekiguchi, Takanobu Suzuki, Takashi Satake, Kayoko Sasaki, and Yuriko Igarashi Department of Anatomy, Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo, Matsudo (Submitted January 20, 2000; Review sent February 10, 2000; Accepted April 23, 2000) •ôGH•ô Abstract•ôGS•ô Dental casts were recently collected from Highlanders in Kasi Village of Wabag in Enga Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Mean age of subjects was 19.2 years ranged from 16 to 44. The mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of all upper and lower teeth (except third molars) were measured. Sex differences of these diameters were relatively large in this population compared with other Pacific populations. The results were compared with previous reports of Asian Pacific populations including some Highland groups of PNG by cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling from Mahalanobis' distances, Q-mode correlation coefficients and Penrose's size distances. In the Mahalanobis' distances, Wabag was clustered in the groups of Melanesians and Australian Aboriginals. In the analysis of the distances transformed from Q-mode correlation coefficients, Wabag was also clustered with these groups, but Fiji was clustered in Polynesians and Micronesians. In the Penrose's size distances, Wabag teeth were smaller than other Highlanders such as Goroka and Lufa, but were close to Polynesians. This suggested that tooth size varied in a Highlander groups in PNG and that there were marked polymorphism of Melanesians. •ôGS•ô Keywords•ôNS•ô: Papua New Guinea, Highlanders, dental anthropology, tooth size Introduction Dental anthropological survey at Kasi village, Wabag in Enga Province of Papaua New Guinea (PNG) was carried out by Nihon University Dental Survey Team in the summer of 1997. -

Our reports and findings from the visits are treated as confidential and shared only with the authorities concerned and recommendations are implemented with their support. The ICRC also assists authorities with distribution of hygiene material, recreational items and medical equipment. Projects on water and sanitation are also implemented in many facilities. In 2018, we: • Visited 15 places of detention in areas of operations in PNG. • Provided recreational items, hygiene kits and blankets to police lock-ups and correctional institutions. • Facilitated correctional services officers to attend two training programmes abroad and helped a medical doctor participate in a health-in-detention training in Bangkok and Cambodia. • Facilitated first-aid training of correctional services staff in coordination with PNGRCS. -

Third Enga Development Forum, Wabag Address by HE Bruce Davis Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea “Security and D
Third Enga Development Forum, Wabag Address by HE Bruce Davis Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea “Security and Development - Charting the way for Enga” 11 December 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sir Peter Ipatas, Governor, Enga Province Attorney General Minister for Police Minister for Civil Aviation Member for Wabag MAJGEN Jerry Singirok (Rtd) It is with great pleasure that I am here today with you at the third Enga Development Forum Conference. A particular thank you to the Governor for the invitation – it is always easy to come back. Such conferences are useful ways to bring together leaders and the community to discuss issues of importance to you all. And, importantly, to take action collectively to find ways to advance public policy and development. This year’s theme of ‘The price of democracy in Enga and the nation – dissecting the post national election ‘crisis’ and charting a way forward for Enga’ is both fitting and timely. Looking back is a useful starting point when it comes to making plans for the future. Looking back helps us to draw lessons and learn from the experiences of a wide range of people. Doing so gives us the best chance to improve and create excellent solutions to the challenges facing us. Page 1 of 15 Experience brings wisdom. This wisdom – which I see plenty of here today – is critical in underpinning and guiding the work to developing plans and policies for the future. I am honoured to be with such an esteemed group of Engans and national leaders to offer my thoughts on the recent elections, its aftermath, and offer some observations as you look to strengthen democracy and to chart a way forward for this terrific province. -

An Ethnobotanical Account of the Vegetation Communities of the Wola Region, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea

The Wola identify nine vegetation types, with a further four sub-types, ranging from climax montane forest to seral communities of grassland. The composition of these communities is investigated, supported by data on plant species present. collected in a series of quadrat surveys (detailed. in Appendix). The number of species in each community is found to r.mge from 18 to 174. The Wola describe the vegetational communities 011 disturbed land as comprising an anthropogenic series of varying composition and species richness that is compared to the unaltered forest community. This paper is organized around this presumed ecological succession. While there is a broad correspondence between the local and scientific recognition of these ecological zones, which the quantitatiVE' data reinforce, the differences in these knowledge traditions should not be overlooked.

Rotarians Against Malaria
ROTARIANS AGAINST MALARIA LONG LASTING INSECTICIDAL NET DISTRIBUTION REPORT Enga Province Carried Out In Conjunction With The Provincial And District Government Health Services And The Church Health Services Of Enga With Support From NDoH, Global Fund and Against Malaria Foundation 22 April to 4 June 2017 Summary A survey and distribution of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) to household level was carried out in the Enga Province 8 February to 5 May 2017. This is the third time that Enga has received nets and the third time under RAM with Global Fund funding. In Round Three of the Global Fund, distributions were carried out in 2010. This initial distribution was coordinated by the Provincial Health Authority but in 2014 and now in 2017 these distributions of LLINs in Enga were carried out under the coordination of RAM with joint implementation together with the Enga Provincial Health Authority. In the first two distributions, all districts of Enga were given nets, but in 2017, due to funding shortages, only areas below 2000m were covered in nets which means that the whole of Kandep, and parts of Lagaip, Wabag and Kopiam were not covered. It should also be noted that the nets for the 2017 distribution were funded through a donation of nets from the National Department of Health with the costs of distribution covered by Global Fund. This is also the third province to have a new survey verification process used after being previously tested in East New Britain and Milne Bay. This verification system was initiated by the Against Malaria Foundation who is now funding most of the LLINs for PNG.
