AbstractThe role of women is an absolute prerequisite for the realization of equitable development. The state will not be prosperous if the women are left behind, marginalized and oppressed. Efforts to empower women are an integral part of national development efforts. Therefore, women's empowerment is an ongoing effort to adjust to the times. The presence of various rules regarding women's representation in various aspects is a form of respect for women for the realization of a prosperous and just state.Keywords: Women, Political Participation, Rule of Law. Abstrak Peran perempuan merupakan syarat mutlak demi terwujudnya pembangunan yang berkeadilan. Negara tidak akan sejahtera apabila kaum perempuannya dibiarkan tertingal, tersisish dan tertindas. Upaya pemberdayaan perempuan merupakan bagian integral dari upaya pembangunan nasional. Oleh karena itu pemberdayaan perempuan merupakan upaya yang berkelanjutan menyesuaikan dengan perkembangan zaman. Hadirnya berbagai aturan mengenai representatif perempuan di berbagai aspek merupakan bentuk penghormatan terhadap perempuan demi terwujudnya negara yang sejahtera dan berkeadilan.Kata Kunci:  Perempuan, Partisipasi Politik, Negara Hukum.

This chapter contains Hirschman's reflections on how citizens' exit and voice affect state power and expands his thinking to include a range of political possibilities, from stateless societies and small states to the ones that behave like global hegemons. The arguments in this chapter build upon those set forth in a previously published work, which had argued that economists, with their emphasis on the virtues of competition (i.e., exit), had disregarded the possible contributions of voice just as political scientists, with their interest in political participation and protest, had neglected the possible role of exit in the analysis of political behavior. This chapter is a more extensive survey on these previous arguments. In particular, it explores the importance of exit in relation to the state.

This study will evaluate the relationship between Sufism, ethnicity and sectarianism, through the prism of the Naqshbandiyya and Qadiriyya orders in Syria and Iraq, during the last two decades. It will demonstrate that the complex interaction between religion and politics in Iraq and Syria resulted in dynamic and even contradictory positions within these two orders in regards to questions of sectarianism and ethnicity. With the growing struggle over religious identities in the region, this research highlights the role of informal Sufi leaders in blending political participation with a mystical inclination, within a dynamic relationship with the state. This nominal Sufi inclination provided an opening for combining Islamic mysticism with other, and at times, opposing affiliations, ranging from nationalism to Jihad. As a result, some Sufi supporters showed sympathy towards Shi‘is while others tended towards a Salafi Jihadist orientation, with its exclusionist worldview. These non-affiliated Sufi voices play an important role in promoting new and diverse blends between mysticism, orthodoxy, activism and sectarianism. As a result, the historical role of Sufism as a cross-sectarian agent is maintained only in particular conditions, within a balance between the doctrines of a particular order, relations with the holders of power and ethnic membership.

SummaryThe role of intravascular coagulation in the production of the generalized Shwartzman phenomenon has been evaluated. The administration of endotoxin to animals prepared with Thorotrast results in activation of the coagulation mechanism with the resultant deposition of fibrinoid material in the renal glomeruli. Anticoagulation prevents alterations in the state of the coagulation system and inhibits development of the renal lesions. Platelets are not primarily involved. Platelet antiserum produces similar lesions in animals prepared with Thorotrast, but appears to do so in a manner which does not significantly involve intravascular coagulation.The production of adrenal cortical hemorrhage, comparable to that seen in the Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, following the administration of endotoxin to animals that had previously received ACTH does not require intravascular coagulation and may not be a manifestation of the generalized Shwartzman phenomenon.
