<p>Throughout the political history of Islam, women played significant political roles in the affairs of muslim states. This, however, has not been the situation in Nigeria where muslim women are skeptical about their involvement in politics, seeing it as an exclusively male domain. This has been so probably because of the voice of ulama against women’s participation in politics or the general belief that politics is a dirty game which is not meant for women. The big question then is why do Nigerian ulama resist women’s involvement in politics? Further, would muslims not stand the risk of losing their political potentiality should they remain indifferent to political participation by women? And, how do female muslim elites who have a flair for politics feel about their lack of political voice: would this not affect their spiritual or religious interests in the long run? This paper explores Islamic political history for the purpose of discovering the extent of muslim women’s involvement in politics, and the reasons for the non-involvement of muslim women in the nation’s politics from the viewpoint of the traditional ulama in the country. <br />[Sepanjang sejarah Islam, wanita memainkan peran penting dalam politik di banyak negara muslim. Namun, hal ini tidak terjadi di Nigeria, karena wanitanya ragu terhadap peran mereka di kancah politik yang memang didominasi oleh para lelaki. Ini terjadi karena ulama menentang keterlibatan wanita di politik serta pandangan bahwa politik itu kotor dan tidak sesuai untuk wanita. Pertanyaannya kenapa para ulama menentang wanita berpolitik? Lalu, apakah mereka tidak rugi secara politis jika tidak peduli dengan partisipasi wanita? Bagaimana juga para wanita muslim itu tidak merasa kurang bersuara dalam politik: apakah ini tidak mempengaruhi spiritualitas dan kepentingan jangka panjang? Paper ini meneliti sejarah politik Islam terkait dengan peran wanita di politik, juga alasan kenapa mereka tidak terlibat menurut kaum ulama tradisional di Nigeria.]</p>

Przekształcenia własnościowe przełomu lat 80. i 90. XX w. sprawiły, że w Polsce nastąpił rozkwit działalności gospodarczej, prowadzonej przez prywatne podmioty. Konkurencja sprawiła jednak, że część z nich zakończyła działalność, a wytworzona przez nie dokumentacja niearchiwalna została przekazana na czasowe przechowywanie m.in. do archiwów państwowych. Zgodnie z obowiązującymi przepisami akta te są brakowane, a zgodę wydaje archiwum państwowe miejsca przechowywania dokumentacji. Natomiast archiwum państwowego miejsca wytworzenia akt wypowiada się tylko odnośnie do brakowania dokumentacji przedsiębiorstw państwowych i samorządowych. Ponieważ jednak dla dziejów gospodarczych Polski po 1989 r. istotne znacznie mają podmioty prywatne, warto, by głos archiwistów posiadających najlepszą wiedzę na temat kompletności źródeł do dziejów gospodarczych danego regionu (tj. miejsca wytworzenia akt), był obligatoryjny także dla brakowania akt podmiotów niepaństwowych i niesamorządowych. Disposal of non-archival stored documentation. A view in the discussion on the shape of national archival collection Ownership transformation in the late 1980s/early 1990s led to economic prosperity for private enterprises. However, due to competition, some of them closed down and their non-archival documentation was transferred to be temporarily stored e.g. in national archives. According to the provisions in force, those files are disposed of, and the permission to do so is issued by the national archive for the region where the documents are stored. The national archive for the region where the files were produced only has its say in matters regarding the disposal of documents from state- or local government-owned enterprises. However, since private entities are of major importance for the economic history of Poland after 1989, it seems justified that the voice of archivists, who have the most extensive knowledge on the completeness of sources on the economic history of a given region (i.e. the place where the files had been created), be also required when disposing of files from private enterprises, i.e. ones not owned by the state or local government.

AbstractThe political, social and economic history of western Arabia during the medieval period still remains terra incognita for the great majority of Islamicists, in spite of the intrinsic importance of the subject and the existence of a corpus of first-rate source materials. The goal of this article is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the economic history of Mecca through a detailed study of the available information regarding the prices of cereal grains and other foodstuffs there during the Mamluk period. So that the maximum advantage may be derived from the discussion, it will be preceeded by a short outline of the political history of Mecca during Mamluk times, as well as the salient features of its economy.
