Women constitute not only half of the world’s population, but also sway the growth of the other half. They produce half of the world’s food supply and account for 60% of the work force, but comprise 10% of the world’s economy and surprisingly own less than 1% of the real estate. They have little access to productive resources and negligible control over family income. This discrimination is the consequence of gender bias which forms an inherent part of the global society. Examples from survey will validate the statement. The index ranking of 151 countries on gender inequality in addressing poverty, education, basic health, employment (income), violence and political participation, contained in various Human Development Report prepared by the United Nations Development Program since 1995 till 2003, shows that “no country treat women as well as men.” Despite such investments in time and labour by women, why is there so much discrimination, inequality and why are women termed as “poorest of the poor”? The main objective of this paper is to focus on women in enterprise development in Bangladesh. However, before going into the main area, the paper tries to analyze the need and reasons for micro-enterprise development of women. The paper is divided into three main sections. The first section deals with a brief discussion on the status of women and poverty in Bangladesh. The second section focuses on women and micro- enterprise development. The third section discusses the problems faced by women in enterprise development. The fourth section focuses on the interventions required to enhance women entrepreneurship development. The last section deals with the future provisions. The paper is prepared mainly on the basis of secondary information, review of previous research work, the author’s own experience and knowledge on women enterprise on some case studies of the positive and negative effects of microenterprise of women.

AbstractThe four Arab Human Development Reports, 2002-2005, sponsored by the United Nations Development Program and written by over one hundred Arab scholars based in the Middle East and elsewhere, have attracted more attention and controversy than any other official studies of development in recent years. The Reports are controversial in at least two respects: First, they adopt a conception of development as freedom that excludes all economic variables. Second, they emphasize three major themes, building a knowledge society; expansion of political freedoms; and women's empowerment, that challenge in fundamental ways central features of institutional regimes and cultural and religious traditions in Arab societies. This paper is critical of the espousal of a form of egalitarian liberal democracy as a benchmark for formulating reform strategies in Arab societies, particularly given the role and influence of path dependence in explaining the status quo. This form of universalistic utopianism tends to discount the dramatic differences in performance amongst various Arab societies on a wide range of economic, social, and political indicators and fails to exploit the potential value of these differences in identifying and exploiting openings for feasible reform strategies.

ABSTRAK : Imunisasi merupakan upaya pencegahan primer yang efektif untuk mencegah terjangkitnya penyakit infeksi yang dapat dicegah dengan imunisasi. Program Pengembangan Imunisasi (PPI) telah dicanangkan oleh WHO sejak tahun 1974 dengan tujuh penyakit target yaitu difteri, tetanus, pertusis, polio, campak, tuberkulosis, dan hepatitis B. Cakupan imunisasi yang rendah menjadi indikator terjadinya kematian akibat PD3I. Oleh karena itu salah satu program yang telah terbukti efektif untuk menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian akibat PD3I adalah imunisasi. Hal ini sejalan dengan kesepakatan MDG’s, dimana untuk mencapai penurunan angka kematian bayi ditandai dengan peningkatan cakupan imunisasi terutama dilihat dari angka cakupan imunisasi campak (WHO, 2008). Hal itu dikarenakan campak adalah imunisasi yang terakhir untuk imunisasi dasar dan merupakan imunisasi yang cukup jauh jaraknya dari imunisasi sebelumnya (yaitu polio 4 pada usia 4 bulan dan campak pada usia 9 bulan) sehingga dapat menjadi indikator tercapainya kondisi Universal Child Immunization (UCI). Tujuan jangka panjang penelitian ini adalah diharapkan dapat menambah pengetahuan bagi pengembangan penelitian terutama dalam ilmu kesehatan masyarakat. Dengan adanya penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menekan terjangkitnya penyakit dan menekan angka resiko kematian bayi. Sehingga pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah ingin mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan status imunisasi dasar lengkap pada bayi di Desa Mangunrejo Kecamatan Ngadiluwih Kabupaten Kediri. Penelitian dilaksanakan mulai pada bulan Februari  s/d Mei 2018.  Sampel  dari penelitian ini adalah semua ibu yang mempunyai bayi umur 12 s/d 24 bulan yang bersedia menjadi responden. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi Squere. Hasil penelitian di desa Mangunrejo Kecamatan Ngadiluwih Kabupaten Kediri menunjukkan bahwa adanya hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu dengan status imunisasi dasar lengkap bayi dengan p value sebesar 0,013 < (0,05) , Adanya hubungan antara status pekerjaan ibu dengan status imunisasi dasar lengkap bayi dengan p value sebesar 0,019 <  𝛼 (0,05) dan Adanya hubungan antara pendapatan keluarga dengan status imunisasi dasar lengkap bayi dengan p value sebesar 0,004 <  𝛼 (0,05).Kata kunci: imunisasi dasarABSTRACT : Immunization is considered as an effective primary prevention to some certain infectious diseases effectively. WHO has established Immunization Development Program (IDP) since 1974 with seven kinds of disease as the targets: diphtheria, tetanus, pertusis, polio, measles, tuberculosis and hepatitis B. Low immunization coverage has become the indicator of the mortality occurance as the result of PD3I. Thus, one of the programs which has been proved effectively in decreasing both sickness and mortality caused by PD3I is immunization. It conforms to the MDG’s agreement in which it is stated that in order to reach desreasing number of infant mortality is marked by the increasing immunization coverage, especially by the measles immunization coverage numbers (WHO, 2008). Since the measles immunization is the last basic one given to the babies and which has the longest space from the former ones (polio 4, given to the age of 4 months, while measles is given to the age of 9 months) it can be taken as the indicator that the condition of universal child immunization has been fulfilled. The purpose of this study is to improve the knowledge in research development, especially knowledge of public health. This is also aimed to minimize the risk of infant mortality. And, as the result, public health level can be improved. The significance of this study to find out factors related to the status of complete basic immunization for infants in Mangunrejo village, Ngadiluwih District, Kediri Regency. This research has been carried out since February to May 2018. Samples in this research are mothers with 12-24 months-baby as the respondents. The data analysis used here is Chi Squere Test. The result of the research in Mangunrejo village shows that there is relationship between the immunization status with mothers’ background. Educated mothers shows p value 0.013 < 𝛼 (0.05) has had their babies given a complete basic immunization, and working mothers shows p value 0.019 < 𝛼 (0.05), while family income shows p value 0.004 < 𝛼 (0,05).  Key words :basic immunization

The article concerns the mechanisms of entrepreneurship development in partnership with local government, science and business. The author presents evidence that the sector partnership is crucial for the success of projects developing entrepreneurship in the local and regional perspective. Local government has the resources and capabilities to act as initiators of projects and programs supporting the economic development of the city or voivodeship. At the same time, representatives of local government units must use appropriate operational and management methods in the implementation of the policy of strengthening entrepreneurship. Inter-sectoral collaboration requires the application of organisational solutions allowing for the involvement of units in different fields and basing on various legislation. The author also indicates that the source of the competitive advantage of cities and regions may be the specialisation, as well as the commercialisation of knowledge and technology. In this case, the inter-sectoral partnership is crucial as it conditions the success of economic development programs in its social, economic and political sense. At the same time, the article describes the methods of building the inter-sectoral cooperation. As a basis for the appropriate use of the different potential of the cooperating participants, the authors indicated projects and programs embracing groups of projects. All this is worth being recognised within the framework of strategic documents, such as development plans, strategies, and other records used by local government agencies. The article uses the outcome of the participatory workshops during the preparation of the Rybnik Enterprise Development Program. The aim of the study is the verification of the assumption that the sectoral partnership is crucial to the processes of local and regional entrepreneurship development.
