1 Kings

Both the Deuteronomist and the Chronicler repeatedly testify that Solomon married an African woman who was the daughter of Pharaoh. The fact that Pharaoh‟s daughter was singled out in this manner is significant as similar treatment was not given to his many other wives and concubines. In the African polygamous system, the first wife exercises enormous power over the husband and other wives. In keeping with the tradition, as chief wife Pharaoh‟s daughter would have had immense influence over Solomon. This pervasive influence can be seen in the economic, political, and administrative policies of the day, as well as in the prohibition on Solomon marrying an Israelite woman. Although Solomon‟s African wife is nameless in the biblical record, and both Solomon and his wife are unattested in the archaeological record, the marriage represents an aspect of African influence on and contribution to ancient Israel.

Tetralogy Of Fallot Repair

Several techniques designed to improve long-term results after repair of tetralogy of Fallot are described. We have recently embarked on a program focused on preserving the native pulmonary valve. Here, combined techniques are described in detail, including intraoperative pulmonary valve balloon dilatation, pulmonary valve reconstruction by delamination and resuspension of the leaflets, and pulmonary valve annulus augmentation. As with any other complex congenital heart disease, senior surgeons should select teaching cases, starting from the less severe side of the spectrum.

The Times

AbstractStepping into other women's farms was like being born into a fresh and nurturing culture. From this global perspective all my mothers began to make sense to me. They all expressed a single theme: "Be a woman. Seek and work only for what is life sustaining. Don't just change with the times, let the time change because you are present. Make a difference. " It is their faith and hope, their courage and strength, their joy and their love that connect me with myself and move me to connect with all who love life and seek to make a difference. So I do my theology always asking: "What difference does it make?" and I do a lot of dreaming anticipating today the gospel of the future. The twins of what is and what is yet to be still struggle within me. Yet already the new African woman and theologian is on the threshold. The water of her coming is already gushing out; with her comes the water of life. So the gardens shall bloom. Only the flowers and the vegatables shall be allowed to live; weeds and blight shall be forbidden. 2

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the possible benefits of approaching sustainability-related teaching cases from the perspective of problem-posing (PP) instead of problem-solving (PS). Design/methodology/approach A document analysis methodology (Silverman, 2011) was used to analyze sustainability teaching case study abstracts and learning objectives from business databases. Cases were reviewed and classified as PP, PS or other. PP cases were further subclassified on one of three axes. Findings Of 117 cases reviewed, most were PS (66%) with only 9% PP. Theoretical and pedagogical implications are discussed with recommendations for writing or converting, PS to PP cases for classroom use. Theoretical contributions include identification of three distinct and complementary views of PP, described in these axes: emancipatory; problematizing metaphors and premises; and rational, process and means-focused cases, not triggering transformative learning theory. Of 10 cases classified as PP cases, 3 were subclassified as emancipatory. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to case study titles containing “sustainability” and analyses of their descriptions and learning objectives only. Next phases of the research will examine differences in student learning between PS and PP in situ. Practical implications The research identifies a unique approach to the authoring and use of case studies that hold the potential for increasing students’ critical thinking capabilities and production of solutions to sustainability issues. Originality/value There is limited research and analysis of the identification and implications of using PP pedagogy.

Introduction While there are rigourous assessments made of trainees’ knowledge through formal examinations, objective assessments of technical skills are not available. Little is known about the safety of allowing resident trainees to perform cardiac surgical operations. Methods Peri-operative date was prospectively collected on all patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) or a combined procedure between 1998 and 2005. Teaching-cases were identified by resident records and defined as cases which the resident performed skin to skin. Pre-operative characteristics were compared between teaching and non-teaching cases. Short-term adverse events were defined as a composite of: in-hospital mortality, stroke, intra- or post-operative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion, myocardial infarction, renal failure, wound infection, sepsis or return to the operating room. Intermediate adverse outcomes were defined as hospital readmission for any cardiac disease or late mortality. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard models were used to adjust for differences in age, acuity, and medical co-morbidities. Outcomes were compared between teaching and non-teaching cases. Results 6929 cases were included, 895 of which were identified as teaching-cases. Teaching-cases were more likely to have an EF<40%, pre-operative IABP, CHF, combined CABG/AVRs or total arterial grafting cases (all p<0.01). However, a case being a teaching-case was not a predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR=1.02, 95%CI 0.67–1.55) or the composite short-term outcome (OR=0.97, 95%CI 0.75–1.24). The Kaplan-Meier event-free survival of staff and teaching-cases was equivalent at 1, 3, and 5 years: 80% vs. 78%, 67% vs. 66%, and 58% vs. 55% (log-rank p=0.06). Cox proportional hazards regression modeling did not demonstrate teaching-case to be a predictor of late death or re-hospitalization (HR=1.05, 95%CI 0.94 –1.18). Conclusions Teaching-cases were more likely to have greater acuity and complexity than non-teaching cases. Despite this, teaching cases did no worse than staff cases in the short or intermediate term. Allowing residents to perform cardiac surgery does not appear to adversely affect patient outcomes.
