Islam: Historical, Social, and Political Perspectives By Jacques Waardenburg 2002 | 454 Pages | ISBN: 3110171783 | PDF | 2 MB This book presents some twenty essays on different aspects of Islam in history and the present. These essays are grouped into eight larger sections. The first, "The Beginnings", deals with the transition from pre-Islamic understandings and reason, an essential part of the Quranic message. The next two sections deal with Islam specifically as a religion with its particular signs and symbols. The question of rules of interpretation in Islam and its structural features is discussed here. Sections four and five deal with ethics in Islam, including Muslim identity and human rights, and certain social functions of Islam. Section six introduces some 19th and 20th century reform movements, with special attention given to developments in Saudi Arabia and the "puritan" characteristics of present-day Islamic revival movements. The final two sections discuss contemporary issues: Islamization processes and policies, Islamic ideologies, the ideologization of Islam, and the political uses of religion. Throughout the book the author shows the links between the religious and other interpretations and uses made of Islam and the contexts in which they are made. The Introduction signals some important developments in Islamic studies since World War II.

Introduction to Intelligent Construction Technology of Transportation Infrastructure English | 2023 | ISBN: 303113432X | 241 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB This book expounds on the related technologies of intelligent transportation infrastructure construction. Based on the essential characteristics of intelligent construction, "perception, analysis, decision-making, and execution," the basic structure of intelligent construction technology (ICT) is established. With the integration of engineering construction technologies, the analyses of the essence of intelligent algorithms and the feasibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are provided. The book introduces the essential characteristics of Big Data and the Internet of Things and their relationship with engineering construction. On this basis, the feasibility and implementation plan of intelligent technology applications in design, construction, and maintenance are analyzed and demonstrated with engineering examples. The book also combines ICT with intelligent construction talent training, the professional knowledge required for intelligent construction, and the theoretical basis to provide the methods for mastering new technologies. This book can be used by technical personnel in related fields such as highways, railways, airports, and urban road construction to understand and master innovative, intelligent construction technologies. It can also be a reference book for ICT-related college courses. Thorsten Professor Wohland, "Introduction to Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy " English | ISBN: 0750320788 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 32 MB An Introduction to Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy represents a comprehensive introduction to fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), a biophysical experimental technique increasingly used to study and quantify molecular mobility, concentrations and interactions in vitro, as well as in living cells and multicellular organisms. Students and researchers who are new to FCS can use the book as the first introduction to the technique, while those who are already using FCS regularly in their research may find it useful to deepen their understanding of the technique, its possibilities, limitations, and potential pitfalls as well as ways to avoid them. International Commercial Mediation: Law and Regulation in Comparative Context English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108835880 | 369 Pages | PDF | 2.25 MB In this comprehensive comparative study, Ronán Feehily analyses the legal and regulatory issues surrounding international commercial mediation and discusses their implications in a range of settings. While existing literature tends to cover mediation in general, Feehily places the commercial mediation process in its legal and regulatory context, offering an original contribution to the field. The book identifies the controversies that arise from the mediation process across numerous jurisdictions and discusses them in detail. Comparing the mediation process in Europe, North America and Australia, as well as other common, civil and 'mixed' jurisdictions, Feehily demonstrates where systemic differences are transcended and where they are significant. Organised systematically and written in an accessible style, Feehily offers an international, holistic guide to the commercial mediation process.
