  • Evidence from the Kuba Kingdom*

    Evidence from the Kuba Kingdom*

    The Evolution of Culture and Institutions:Evidence from the Kuba Kingdom* Sara Lowes† Nathan Nunn‡ James A. Robinson§ Jonathan Weigel¶ 16 November 2015 Abstract: We use variation in historical state centralization to examine the impact of institutions on cultural norms. The Kuba Kingdom, established in Central Africa in the early 17th century by King Shyaam, had more developed state institutions than the other independent villages and chieftaincies in the region. It had an unwritten constitution, separation of political powers, a judicial system with courts and juries, a police force and military, taxation, and significant public goods provision. Comparing individuals from the Kuba Kingdom to those from just outside the Kingdom, we find that centralized formal institutions are associated with weaker norms of rule-following and a greater propensity to cheat for material gain. Keywords: Culture, values, institutions, state centralization. JEL Classification: D03,N47. *A number of individuals provided valuable help during the project.

    O CONTEXTO CULTURAL E O CONTEXTO ESCOLAR EM ANGOLA: Conhecendo Nzongo – Unidade De Medida Do Povo Chokwe Na Comuna De Camaxilo

    HISTEMAT – Revista de História da Educação Matemática Sociedade Brasileira de História da Matemática ISSN 2447-6447 O CONTEXTO CULTURAL E O CONTEXTO ESCOLAR EM ANGOLA: conhecendo Nzongo – unidade de medida do povo Chokwe na comuna de Camaxilo Carlos Mucuta Santos1 Cristiane Coppe de Oliveira2 RESUMO Esse artigo é um recorte de um projeto de pesquisa de mestrado, junto ao Programa de Pós- Graduação em Educação da Universidade Lueji N´Khonde (ULAN), que tem como objetivo minimizar o distanciamento entre o “mundo da escola” e o “mundo da vida” dos alunos Chokwe da região de Camaxilo em Angola. Tomando como fundamentação teórica as propostas do Programa Etnomatemática e o desenvolvimento de unidades de medida desenvolvidas por esse povo, pretende-se apresentar uma unidade de medida Chokwe, o Nzongo com suas subunidades e uma experiência didática do primeiro autor sobre como o conhecimento de medida Chokwe facilita aprendizagem do Sistema Internacional de Unidades (SI). A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, buscou, inicialmente, conhecer essa medida em Camaxilo e pensar de que modo a unidade de medida Nzongo, com seu repertório histórico na cultura Chokwe dos alunos, pode aproximar-se do contexto escolar, ao estudarem o sistema de medida universal, que é estranho ao seu dia a dia. Considerando as teorizações do Programa do Ministério da Educação de inserção da língua Chokwe no ensino regular, será proposto por meio da investigação, que seja também inserida, já a partir do ensino primário, a linguagem matemática do Chokwe do Camaxilo com vista ao resgate de valores matemáticos Chokwe. Palavras-chave: Programa Etnomatemática. Nzongo. Chokwe. Cultura. Contexto escolar.

INTRODUCTION The MENTOR Initiative is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to reducing death and suffering from malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in humanitarian crises. Currently MENTOR is providing support to the most vulnerable communities in Angola, Liberia, Kenya, Central African Republic, South Sudan and Chad. The MENTOR is present in Angola since 2002, working with the National Malaria Control Program to reduce the burden of disease in the provinces of Huambo, Uíge and Zaire. Since 2011, MENTOR is implementing a private health sector malaria program in partnership with the Government and the NGO Population Services International (PSI), introducing combination therapies based on artemisinin (ACTs) and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (TDR) in private pharmacies. In partnership with the Government and the NGO World Learning, a public health malaria programme based on case management and capacity building within the National Health Structure is being implemented. In 2013, the MENTOR Initiative started the Neglected Tropical Disease control programme with the overall purpose to support the Ministry of Health of Angola to achieve a significant reduction in infections of Schistosomiasis, Soil Transmitted Helminths and Lymphatic Filariasis, in areas of high endemicity.

    Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.

This point of view is supported by the fact of the 58 mln ha agricultural land available in Angola, some 35 mln ha can be considered as good arable land and only 5 mln ha is actually being used.
