Reference excerpt

Mariam Adhbi Al Jalahma (Arabic: مريم عذبي الجلاهمة, born 1961) is a Bahraini physician, civil servant and politician. In 2000 she was appointed to the Consultative Council, becoming one of its first female members.

Biography Al Jalahma was born in Bahrain in 1961 and completed her secondary education at Al Hoora Secondary School for Girls in 1977. She then studied for a bachelor of medicine and surgery at the Qasr El Eyni faculty of Cairo University, graduating in 1985. She worked in the paediatric department of the Bahrain Defence Force Hospital in 1986–87, before joining the family medicine training programme of the Ministry of Health, where she worked until 1990. After earning a certificate of specialisation in family medicine from the American University of Beirut in 1990, Al Jalahma worked as a family medicine consultant at Muharraq from 1990 to 1993. From 1993 to 1994 she was deputy chief medical officer at the National Bank of Bahrain's health centre. In 1994 she was awarded a higher diploma in medical education from the University of Dundee School of Medicine. From 1996 she held an assistant professorship at the Faculty of Medicine of the Arabian Gulf University, and in 1999 she also began introducing health programmes on radio and television. In 2000 Al Jalahma completed a diploma in healthcare management at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. In the same year she was one of four women appointed to the Consultative Council by Emir Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, becoming its first female members. She remained on the Consultative Council until 2002, after which she became Coordinator of International and Public Relations at the Ministry of Health. Al Jalahma was appointed to the executive board of the Gulf Cooperation Council Health Ministers' Council in 2007. In 2015 she was appointed chief executive of the National Health Regulatory Authority.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mariam Al Jalahma

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mariam Al Jalahma claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mariam Al Jalahma before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mariam Al Jalahma ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mariam Al Jalahma

In research: Mariam Al Jalahma appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mariam Al Jalahma in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mariam Al Jalahma is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1961 births, 21st-century Bahraini politicians, 21st-century Bahraini women politicians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mariam Al Jalahma outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
