This chapter talks about the attraction inherent in Sabbatianism that sectarian messianism held for women, which accounts for women's active involvement with both the overt and the clandestine frameworks in which the movement persisted. It examines how women continued to be drawn to the sectarian fellowships as messianic prophetesses. It also describes Judaism that traditionally stressed a religious life bounded by the commandments. The chapter analyses the dense web of gendered prescriptions and rituals which segregated the sexes and assigned them different spheres of activity. It demonstrates how faith transcended the gender boundaries that were built into the halakhic system and opened a single arena of action to both sexes.

Active involvement of army veterans in local governance and religious life of provincial towns and villages of the Roman Empire is generally determined as the ratio of number of retired soldiers who were magistrates and priests to the total number of veterans, known from all the inscriptions found on the territory of a province. In the opinion of the author, this approach may lead to a misperception of this aspect of the former soldiers’ life and consequently needs to be revised. This paper presents an alternative method of resolving the problem and outlines perspectives for its practical application on the example of material relating to the province of Lower Moesia.

The PIM of sheep, calf, goat and horse has a characteristic ultrastructural feature in the form of a unique, heparin sensitive, globular surface coat present around the plasma membrane with an intervening electron lucent space of 32-40 nm. We previously showed the active involvement of this surface coat in the phagocytosis of tracer material like monastral blue and cationized ferritin. The surface coat is capable of reconstitution in vivo following disruption with heparin. The present study was aimed to investigate whether PIM is the source of surface coat or not. In the recent years the BFA has been extensively used to understand the secretory pathways in the cells because of its ability to cause a rapid and reversible block to the anterograde transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi.Sheep (n=6) were weighed, their plasma volume was calculated indirectly and based on which a sufficient single intravenous dose of BFA was given so as to reach a concentration of 4-5 microgram/ml of plasma.

Twelve trainable mentally retarded children were given six weeks of instruction in the use of adjectives, polars, and locative prepositions. Specially prepared Language Master cards constituted the program. Posttests indicated that children in the older chronological age group earned significantly higher scores than those in the younger group. Children in the younger group made significant increases in scores, particularly in learning prepositions. A multisensory approach and active involvement in learning appeared to be major factors in achievement gains.

The cornerstone of any religion is its anthropological concept, which seeks to determine the essential orientations of man, to outline the ideological framework of its existence, to represent the idea of ​​its essence, purpose in earthly life. The main task of the religious system is the act of involving and subordinating man to the spiritual divine realm as the realm of the transcendental existence of God. Belief in the real presence of the latter implies a new understanding of oneself, which ultimately leads the religious individual to the desire to be involved in this transcendental existence, to have intimate relations with him, to have a consciousness inherent in God. Note that in this context, all human being is interpreted as a certain arena for this realization. Therefore, the religious life of the individual acquires the status of religious activity.

Therefore, understandably, when the politic transition is not yet fully reflects the idealized conditions. In addition to the old paradigm that is still attached to the brain of policy makers, various policies to mirror the complexity of stuttering ruler to answer the challenges of religious life. This challenge cannot be separated from the hegemonic legacy of the past, including the politicization of SARA. Hegemony that took place during the New Order period, adversely affected the subsequent transition period. It seems among other things, with airings various conflicts nuances SARA previously muted, forced repressive. SARA issues arise as a result of the narrowing of the accommodation space of the nation state during the New Order regime. The New Order regime has reduced the definition of nation-states is only part of a group of people loyal to the government to deny the diversity of socio-cultural reality in it. To handle the inheritance, every regime in the reform era responds with a pattern and a different approach. It must be realized, that the post-reform era, Indonesia has had four changes of government. The leaders of every regime in the reform era have a different background and thus also have a vision that is different in treating the problem of racial intolerance, particularly against religious aspect. This treatment causes the accomplishment difference each different regimes of dealing with the diversity of race, religion and class that has become the hallmark of Indonesian society.
