We are at the beginning of the next major disruptive cycle caused by computing. In transportation, the term Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) has been coined to represent the enormous innovations enabled by underlying electronics technology. The benefits of ACES vehicles range from improved safety, reduced congestion, and lower stress for car occupants to social inclusion, lower emissions, and better road utilization due to optimal integration of private and public transport. ACES is creating a new automotive and industrial ecosystem that will disrupt not only the technical development of transportation but also the management and supply chain of the industry. Disruptions caused by ACES are prompted by not only technology but also by a shift from a traditional to a software-based mindset, embodied by the arrival of a new generation of automotive industry workforce. In Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles: Disrupting the Automotive and Mobility Sectors, Umar Zakir Abdul Hamid provides an overview of ACES technology for cross-disciplinary audiences, including researchers, academics, and automotive professionals. Hamid bridges the gap among the book’s varied audiences, exploring the development and deployment of ACES vehicles and the disruptions, challenges, and potential benefits of this new technology. Topics covered include: • Recent trends and progress stimulating ACES growth and development • ACES vehicle overview • Automotive and mobility industry disruptions caused by ACES • Challenges of ACES implementation • Potential benefits of the ACES ecosystem While market introduction of ACES vehicles that are fully automated and capable of unsupervised driving in an unstructured environment is still a long-term goal, the future of mobility will be ACES, and the transportation industry must prepare for this transition. Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles is a necessary resource for anyone interested in the successful and reliable implementation of ACES. “ACES are destined to be a game changers on the roads, altering the face of mobility.” Daniel Watzenig, Professor Graz University of Technology, Austria
This book studies the legal reasoning of Mālik ibn Anas (d. 179 H./795 C.E.) in the Muwaṭṭa’ and Mudawwana. Although focusing on Mālik, the book presents a broad comparative study of legal reasoning in the first three centuries of Islam. It reexamines the role of considered opinion (ra’y), dissent, and legal ḥadīths and challenges the paradigm that Muslim jurists ultimately concurred on a “four-source” (Qurʾān, sunna, consensus, and analogy) theory of law. Instead, Mālik and Medina emphasizes that the four Sunnī schools of law (madhāhib) emerged during the formative period as distinctive, consistent, yet largely unspoken legal methodologies and persistently maintained their independence and continuity over the next millennium.
... Seeks to contribute to the existing body of work in the area of Islamic finance through examining the extent of divergence in practice of Islamic financing from the traditional Shari'ah in the Australian context. The author makes a discursive analysis of the regulation of Islamic finance in Australia in terms of (a) the financing instruments used, (b) certainty of transactions between participants in the system, and (c) institutional risk management of Islamc financial institutions."--Back cover.

The labor market in Islam is governed by the Islamic laws of fairness, justice, and reward that is equivalent to the job done. Most of the literature in the field discusses the normative aspect of the labor market, whereas few attempts can be seen to address more positive aspects. There is a need for new theoretical and empirical models for the Islamic labor market, which should differ from established approaches. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature, scope, and dimensions of the labor market in an Islamic context, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It presents and discusses labor economics and then compares the similarities and differences between conventional and Islamic views of the labor market, explaining where they meet, and critically justifying why they differ, under the umbrella of Shari'ah. The book raises pertinent issues, which it analyzes from both standpoints and widens the discourse to include norms, morality, and related institutions such as social security and welfare. A unique feature of the book is that it examines labor economics practices among a specific group of countries, and studies the labor conditions within these countries, where the majority of the population follow the teachings of Islam in their daily lives. The book proposes practical strategies for the development of new models for the Islamic labor market which are compatible with the modern world. The book will enable academics and practitioners of Islamic economics to make economic sense of Shari'ah compliance and human resource development.

No previous full-scale study has been undertaken so far to study the polemical writings of the Muslim reformist Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā (1865-1935) and his associates in his well-known journal al-Manār (The Lighthouse). The book focuses on the dynamics of Muslim understanding of Christianity during the late 19th and the early 20th century in the light of al-Manār’s sources of knowledge, and its answers to the social, political and theological aspects of missionary movements in the Muslim World of Riḍā’s age. The basis of the analysis encompasses the voluminous publications by Riḍā and other Manārists in his journal. Besides, it makes use of newly-discovered materials, including Riḍā’s private papers, and some other remaining personal archives of some of his associates.
The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of the reader, the book assembles field-theoretical foundations of this phenomenon, applications of the general theory to real materials, and a comprehensive description of all recently performed measurements of the Casimir force with a comparison between experiment and theory. There is an urgent need for a book of this type, given the increase of interest in forces originating from the quantum vacuum. Numerous new results have been obtained in the last few years which are not reflected in previous books on the subject, but which are very promising for fundamental science and nanotechnology. The book is a unique source of information presenting a critical assessment of all the main results and approaches from hundreds of journal papers. It also outlines new ideas which have not yet been universally accepted but which are finding increasing support from experiment.
Provides a description and comparative analysis of the Social Security Disability Insur. (SSDI) and Veterans Disability Compensation (VDC) programs. These issues will be of particular interest to Congress because of the expected increase in the numbers of SSDI and VDC claims. The recent economic decline and aging baby-boomers have continued to place a strain on the Social Security Admin.¿s (SSA) resources. The aging of the veteran population and expansion of presumptive conditions policies have contributed to the increase in VDC claims. Contents of this report: Intro.; SSDI.; VDC; Distinctions Between SSDI and VDC Programs; Continued Divergence Between SSA and VA Disability Programs. Charts and tables.
Radikalisme yang baik disengaja atau tidak- mengatasnamakan islam, telah banyak mencemarkan nama baik islam di mata dunia, khusunya di bumi nusantara. Bahkan peristiwa tersebut menjadi penyebab utama terhadap munculnya kelompok-kelompok islam phobia yang anti islam. Hal ini secara otomatis memiliki efek domino terhadap stigma negatif -khusunya dalam persfektif Barat- terhadap apa pun yang berkaitan erat dengan islam termasuk di antaranya dunia pendidikan islam. Pesantren sebagai basis utama pendidikan islam di indonesia yang telah berdiri semenjak ratusan abad yang lalu, setelah terungkapnya beberapa teroris yang alumni pesantren-pesantren seringkali menjadi target bullying kedengkian media Barat. Pesantren seringkali dianggap sebagai sarang teroris yang mengajarkan kebencian bukan cinta kasih, kegalakan dan bukan kelembutan. Ditambah lagi, media massa Barat yang seolah berlomba-lomba menggambarkan islam sebagai sarang teroris, pusara kedengkian, anti-Barat, dan anti demokrasi, pada akhirnya masyarakat islam dunia pun (pesantren khususnya) lenyap ditelan citra negatif itu. Buku yang ditulis oleh Prof. Dr. H. Nasaruddin umar, ma ini mencoba memotret wajah pesantren mulai dari sejarahnya yang paling awal, bahkan sebelum kata santri, atau pesantren itu muncul, untuk mengulang kembali citra islam yang sesungguhnya. Buku ini juga sebagai jawaban atas kegundahannya terhadap stigma negatif sebagian besar media Barat terhadap dunia pesantren yang seringkali mengemas informasi timpang dan kurang objektif. selamat membaca.
Sculpting the Self addresses “what it means to be human” in a secular, post-Enlightenment world by exploring notions of self and subjectivity in Islamic and non-Islamic philosophical and mystical thought. Alongside detailed analyses of three major Islamic thinkers (Mullā Ṣadrā, Shāh Walī Allāh, and Muhammad Iqbal), this study also situates their writings on selfhood within the wider constellation of related discussions in late modern and contemporary thought, engaging the seminal theoretical insights on the self by William James, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. This allows the book to develop its inquiry within a spectrum theory of selfhood, incorporating bio-physiological, socio-cultural, and ethico-spiritual modes of discourse and meaning-construction. Weaving together insights from several disciplines such as religious studies, philosophy, anthropology, critical theory, and neuroscience, and arguing against views that narrowly restrict the self to a set of cognitive functions and abilities, this study proposes a multidimensional account of the self that offers new options for addressing central issues in the contemporary world, including spirituality, human flourishing, and meaning in life. This is the first book-length treatment of selfhood in Islamic thought that draws on a wealth of primary source texts in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Greek, and other languages. Muhammad U. Faruque’s interdisciplinary approach makes a significant contribution to the growing field of cross-cultural dialogue, as it opens up the way for engaging premodern and modern Islamic sources from a contemporary perspective by going beyond the exegesis of historical materials. He initiates a critical conversation between new insights into human nature as developed in neuroscience and modern philosophical literature and millennia-old Islamic perspectives on the self, consciousness, and human flourishing as developed in Islamic philosophical, mystical, and literary traditions.
This book underscores the essential principles of photocatalysis and provides an update on its scientific foundations, research advances, and current opinions, and interpretations. It consists of an introduction to the concepts that form the backbone of photocatalysis, from the principles of solid-state chemistry and physics to the role of reactive oxidizing species. Having recognised the organic link with chemical kinetics, part of the book describes kinetic concepts as they apply to photocatalysis. The dependence of rate on the reaction conditions and parameters is detailed, the retrospective and prospective aspects of the mechanism of photocatalysis are highlighted, and the adsorption models, photocatalytic rate expressions, and kinetic disguises are examined. This book also discusses the structure, property, and activity relationship of prototypical semiconductor photocatalysts and reviews how to extend their spectral absorption to the visible region to enable the effective use of visible solar spectrum. Lastly, it presents strategies for deriving substantially improved photoactivity from semiconductor materials to support the latest applications and potential trends.
Gugusan Nusantara tidak hanya dihuni oleh ragam bahasa, warna kulit dan budaya, namun juga dihuni agama-agama dengan pengikut yang sangat loyal. Pemeluk agama di seluruh Nusantara memiliki kecintaan tinggi terhadap agamanya. Di satu sisi kondisi ini menjadi potensi tersendiri bagi bangsa Indonesia, namun di sisi lain kesalahan mengelola loyalitas keagamaan dapat memicu konflik. Dan salah satunya adalah kesalahan dalam menerima dan memahami konten-konten Religious Hate Speech (RHS). Ketika RHS dianggap sebagai bagian dari perintah agama, inilah titik awal yang dapat mengancam NKRI. Bagi bangsa Indonesia yang dikenal luas keberagamannya, RHS adalah ancaman serius yang tak bisa diremehkan. Al-QurÕan menyampaikan pelajaran yang sangat berharga tentang bahaya menyebar kebencian, yaitu kisah Raja FirÕaun yang hancur karena selalu melancarkan ungkapan kebencian (hate speech) kepada Nabi Musa. Al-QurÕan juga selalu mengingatkan kita agar tidak begitu mudah membenci orang lain (QS. Al-Maidah/5: 8) dan tidak menyebar prasangka buruk (QS. Al-Hujurat/49: 12). Jihad melawan RHS menjadi sebuah keniscayaan. RHS tidak hanya mengancam bangsa dan Negara, namun juga keutuhan umat, termasuk internal umat Islam. Jangan sampai keragaman aliran dan mazhab serta pilihan politik umat Islam justru dimanfaatkan pihak tertentu untuk masuk dan melakukan perusakan ukhuwah. Jihad melawan RHS jangan digambarkan sebagai hard strike, melainkan lebih bersifat meningkatkan ketahanan. Salah satunya dengan membumikan pesan-pesan langit, sebuah istilah untuk menggambarkan luasnya wahyu yang telah diturunkan kepada manusia untuk dipedomani.
“Rubaiyat adalah karya yang terinspirasi oleh daya gerak sebuah puisi; bukan salinan, bukan tiruan, bukan terjemahan, bukan penyampaian ulang atas inspirasi puitik.” – Charles Eliot Norton “Sebuah peringatan bahaya atas kemegahan dan ketidakpastian takdir.” – Dee Hock “Rubaiyat adalah jalan suci bagi pikiran manusia, sebuah petualangan pikiran dan puisi yang membuat kita terhubung, secara pribadi, antara abad ke-11 Persia dan dunia modern. Imaji Rubaiyat begitu liar, berwarna, dan berkesan. Rubaiyat menjadi inspirasi bagi T.S. Eliot, Yeats, dan beberapa penyair besar lainnya.” – Robert Richardson
From their origin in paddy mud during the final decades of the Dutch East Indies, to unimagined roles within the new structures of a modernising Indonesia, 'Gentry' is the saga of an extended Javanese family heroically pursuing its dream of betterment through a social leap. There was in that era at the start of this story a unique route by which an exceptionally determined peasant might attain the status of a 'priyayi' functionary gentry with a government salary, bureaucratic aristocrats with duties divorced from manual labour, bearers of noble principles of responsibility, figures infinitely esteemed by the illiterate masses below them: that road was education. In 1920s Java, as little as five years of primary schooling--when obtainable--could make the difference. Sastrodarsono's epic begins in the dearth and misery fixed in the race-memory of his forebears, and in an awareness too of where history is tending. The good will of a local priyayi administrator gains for the young man sufficient schooling to qualify him for a position as a humble village-teacher. He has 'mastered the sciences', in the view of the astonished countryside from which he derives. Out of him will spring and extend a clan of such gentry; his children, who will now be born priyayi, shall go on to greater achievements, higher levels of education and prestige, to further consolidate their gentility. And as they do--and Umar Kayam movingly and with wry humour describes the parade of those generations progressing in joy and sorrow to further their founder's grand ideal--suddenly the immemorial stability of the Indies is riven by war, invasion, a liberation struggle, rebellion and coup, and by the stresses consequent on an awakening country confronting modernity. Ultimately, 'Darsono's striving addresses to the reader and to all social humanity an inevitable question: have we any choice as human beings but to evolve and endeavour? Kayam answers it as well as anyone can: one must go on, whatever the difficulties surrounding life; go on and take as many others as possible forward with oneself, in the spirit of duty to family, to nation, and to the human race. The simple ambitions of a Javanese peasant are in this book transformed into a philosophical quest with universal relevance.
