Abstract:
FIGURE: John A. Bevan (1930-2007)John Bevan, one of the pioneers of vascular pharmacology, passed away on February 14, 2007, following an illness that he bore valiantly. John had a dedicated scientific career, building an international reputation that spanned a half-century. His experimental studies of the vascular system encompassed myriad aspects of the human and animal vascular networks and the mechanisms that control them. He took a broad-spectrum approach, integrative in nature, to examine neurogenic, developmental, hemodynamic, humoral, and therapeutic aspects. John, born in 1930, grew up in Britain and, following a degree in pharmacology and physiology, he did his medical training at the University of London, receiving his MD and other medical qualifications in 1953, followed by medical duty in the Royal Air Force. During their medical studies, John and his wife Rosemary developed their lifelong fascination for science. Britain, still a country of austerity after World War II, offered limited research possibilities. John was tempted “across the pond” to UCLA, where he was offered a faculty position in 1957. This gave him the opportunity he needed, and he began working on the morphological and pharmacological characterization of pulmonary arterial nerve endings. He rose to the rank of full professor in 1967. John's experiments using classical methods to examine large vessels provided him with numerous insights, but he was nevertheless one of the first to recognize that an understanding of cardiovascular control required the investigation of isolated small vessels. At that time, the idea of doing in vitro experiments on vessels almost too small to see appeared impossible. In 1972 John, together with John Osher, showed that it was feasible to mount such vessels in a myograph, allowing isometric responses to be obtained. This myograph proved to be the prototype for the later development of myography. Vermont became one of the centers of myography, and perhaps for this reason in 1983, after 25 years in California, John and Rosemary accepted appointments to the University of Vermont, where John became chair of the Department of Pharmacology. John played a major role in further developing the myograph technique, and established the Vermont Center for Vascular Research. His interests broadened to studies of myogenic tone, the vasoactive effects of flow, the endothelium, and the control of the human brain circulation. An important theme of John's work was to extend the extensive experimental knowledge of blood vessels to the study of isolated human blood vessels. To this end, he and Rosemary established the Totman Laboratory for Human Cerebrovascular Research, which they directed until John retired from the Department of Pharmacology and became Emeritus. John's work is recorded in more than 400 articles and book chapters. At the time of his death, John was working on a book treating the cerebrovascular circulation as it was seen from ancient times to the present. Apart from his laboratory interests, John used his organizational skills to play a major international role in establishing the field of vascular pharmacology. John held the first Vascular Neuroeffector Mechanism Symposium in 1970, a symposium series that has continued regularly ever since. In 1975 he took over the editorship of Blood Vessels (now the Journal of Vascular Research) and with his love of literary and scientific precision succeeded in making this a respected journal; indeed, for many, it is the leading journal in the field. Although the scientific attractions of UVM weighed heavily, John and Rosemary were surely attracted by the natural delights of Vermont, where they decided to set up house on the slopes of Mount Philo, with its magnificent views of Lake Champlain. He often explored its shores in his sailboat. This location was an added incentive for his 4 children and their families to visit. John was an avid hiker here and abroad and enjoyed traveling to maintain long-term contacts with his scientific colleagues. Above all, he was a wonderful human being. It was a privilege to know him. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.Keywords:

Qur’ānic stories of husbands and wives give a glimpse of marital relationship as experienced by the selected couples whom Allāh has chosen to be recorded in the Qur’ān. There are twelve stories discussed in this paper as follows: (1) Ādam and his wife; (2) Nūḥ and his wife; (3) Ibrāhīm and his wife; (4) Lūṭ and his wife; (5) Egyptian Mayor and his wife; (6) Pharaoh and his wife; (7) Mūsā and his wife; (8) Zakariyyā and his wife; (9) Abū Lahab and his wife; (10) Muḥammad and his wives; (11) Khawlah (al-Mujādilah) and her husband; (12) an ungrateful married couple. This qualitative study primarily uses historical methodology to portray and derive major lessons from the stories. The three key results of this research are: (1) there is a crucial need to expose Qur’ānic stories without deviating them with other unknown sources or details; (2) Qur’ānic stories of husbands and wives prove that marital life is an arena for jihād where married couples need to put their utmost efforts to strengthen their marriage; (3) virtues such as humility, patience and honesty are the vanguards for marriage, while vices such as arrogance, greed and infidelity are the destroyers of marriage.

When the couple of man and woman have become husband and wife, it means that the husband becomes the head of family and father of his children while the wife becomes the breadwinner of the family and mother of her children. However, there is a misconception of the ‘head and breadwinner of the family.’ The misconception is that since the husband is the head of the family, it means the husband can order his wife. While the wife, since she roles as the ‘breadwinner’, she must obey and be submissive to her husband and her in-laws. If something bad happens to the husband, the wife will be blamed, even when the wife gets angry at her husband for some reasons, still the wife is the one to blame.

In China and America, the husband and wife relationship can both be divided into two modes: One is traditional and the other is egalitarian. Inequality between sexes is the character of traditional husband and wife relationship in America while Chinese women have lower status in traditional husband and wife relationship. Wives' status has been gradually improved in egalitarian families in America. In China, equality between husband and wife becomes more and more popular in egalitarian husband and wife relationship.

Abstract Everyone knows the tale of the baker’s wife, written by Jean Giono and immortalized on the screen by Marcel Pagnol and the actor Raimu. The baker’s wife is fickle and deserts home and bakehouse to follow her lover. How can a baker live without a wife? He makes the bread and she sells it, and the loss of their married love means that he loses all will to carry on at all. So the baker goes on strike, as it were, making but one simple demand: if she returns so will the bread. Deprived of its bread, the entire village intervenes to bring the baker’s wife back to her husband and thus restore, along with conjugal love, an employment relationship that is indispensable to the bakery.

This article analyzes the experience of an American woman in her role as a Bengali wife in India. The article explores the integration of the two roles, “outsider” and “wife.” The relationship between the foreign wife and the extended household of which she is a part is viewed as a system within which all participants collaborate in the construction and the maintenance of the role of the “outsider wife.”
