Islamic Wealth Taxation and Financing Public Health
Islamic Wealth Taxation and Financing Public Health is an eye-opening and thought-provoking book that boldly explores new possibilities for funding public health initiatives in countries where Islam isn't the predominant religion. In this case, Kenya serves as the focal point. Written by a Pan-African Muslim woman, this book is a must-read for anyone curious about innovative ways to improve public health without overburdening taxpayers.The author delves into the concept of zakat, an Islamic wealth tax, and investigates how it could be used as a source of revenue to boost public health in non-Islamic states like Kenya. By shedding light on the inner workings of the Kenyan legal system, the book highlights the importance of understanding local power dynamics, cultural and religious beliefs, and political structures when examining legal issues.It's a fascinating look at how different legal frameworks can come together to tackle complex challenges, which brings together insights from human rights law, Islamic law, and constitutional law, showcasing the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration in solving real-world problems.One of the reasons this book is so timely and important is its alignment with global development goals, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the African Union Agenda 2063, and National Development Plans. These initiatives all emphasise the need for countries to find new, local funding sources without overtaxing their citizens. Exploring zakat as a potential solution in Kenya is particularly interesting, given the country's influence in East Africa and the potential impact of such a development in the region.
Predictive Analytics with Knime
This book is about data analytics, including problem definition, data preparation, and data analysis. A variety of techniques (e.g., regression, logistic regression, cluster analysis, neural nets, decision trees, and others) are covered with conceptual background as well as demonstrations of KNIME using each tool. The book uses KNIME, which is a comprehensive, open-source software tool for analytics that does not require coding but instead uses an intuitive drag-and-drop workflow to create a network of connected nodes on an interactive canvas. KNIME workflows provide graphic representations of each step taken in analyses, making the analyses self-documenting. The graphical documentation makes it easy to reproduce analyses, as well as to communicate methods and results to others. Integration with R is also available in KNIME, and several examples using R nodes in a KNIME workflow are demonstrated for special functions and tools not explicitly included in KNIME.

Religion Between Commercialization and Political Trade-offs
Religion Between Commercialization and Political Trade-offs: The Case of Islam marks the author's 100th published book.This volume is the product of a conference on Commercialization of Religion convened jointly by the Universities of Vienna and Nicosia, and held in Nicosia, Cyprus, in September 2023, where author Raphael Israeli spoke about Islam."I challenged the conventional wisdom, which posited a material and pecuniary interpretation of commercialization of religion in terms of buying and selling deals, but I suggested to expand that interpretation into a wider trade-off of values, assets, and political interests, and I gave examples of those deals of commercialization within the Arab-Israeli dispute, including the horrifying rampage and murder on October 7, 2023, by the Palestinian Hamas terrorists of over 1,500 Israeli innocent civilians, including babies, the elderly, and women at dawn in their beds, and abducting another 240 as hostages to Gaza."(About the Author)Raphael Israeli has taught Islamic, Chinese, and Middle Eastern history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. A graduate of Hebrew University in history and Arabic literature, he earned a Ph.D. in Chinese and Islamic history from the University of California, Berkeley. Now retired, he has been a Fellow of the Harry Truman Research Institute at Hebrew University and the Jerusalem Center since the1970s. He is the author of 100 books and 100 articles.

And investments you make to make a meaningful difference? This book provides a framework for telling us how. It's both a handbook and a deeper dive into ideas many of us have heard of but may not fully understand, like: fair trade, buy local, ESG, and effective altruism.At its heart, this book is about the heart: How we can view money as a tool for building relationships, restoring communities, connecting with the Earth, and acting with greater empathy and generosity.

Corruption and Illegality in Asian Investment Arbitration
This open access book explores Asian approaches towards investment arbitration -- a transnational procedure to resolve disputes between a foreign investor and a host state -- setting it in the wider political economy and within domestic law contexts. It considers the extent to which significant states in Asia are, or could become, "rule makers" rather than "rule takers" regarding corruption and serious illegality in investor-state arbitration. Corruption and illegality in international investment are widely condemned in any society, but there remains a lack of consensus on the consequences, especially in investment arbitration. A core issue addressed is whether a foreign investor violating a host state's law should be awarded protection of its investment, as per its contract with the host state and/or the applicable investment or trade agreement between the home state and the host state. Some suggest such protection would be unnecessary as the investor committed a crime in the host state, while others attempt to establish an equilibrium between the investor and the host state. Others claim to protect investment, invoking the sanctity of promises made. The book starts with a deep dive into economic and legal issues in corruption and investment arbitration and then explores the situation and issues in major countries in the region in detail. It is a useful reference point for lawyers, economists, investors and government officials who are seeking comprehensive and up-to-date information on anti-bribery rules in Asian investment treaties. It is of particular interest to students and researchers in economics, finance and law, who are undertaking new research relating to the multifaceted impacts of corruption.

The Playbook of a Mindset Snob
Sometimes, you wonder how much easier life would be if you simply had a manual to guide your every step. Unfortunately, this is real life, and things don't come that easily for many of us. Every new day comes with unlimited possibilities, and every decision may impact the rest of your life-positively and negatively. So, why wouldn't you want a guide to at least go through life in easy mode? This book from Bianca Wise is a deviation from the norm, as the author takes us through the story of her life. She explores her unconventional path from the inner city of Baltimore, deciding to leave a vested, solid, steady career to build a successful seven-figure business in less than 5 years. Bianca presents the life lessons she gained from her mother, family, friends, and co-workers as ten pillars, which she aims to inspire her readers to put on the armor of self-belief and take responsibility for their lives in any situation. Bianca uses her story to engage the readers throughout this book, not to instruct them on how to live their lives. She wants everyone to create their own stories, and when the time is right, they can choose to tell their stories to inspire others too. She wants them to be confident that they lived the life that was meant for them, not another person's dream. This book will open you up to the mindset you need to achieve success, remove distractions from your life, and maintain an environment that facilitates your success. Some of these insights may seem logical and others may be challenging initially, but the concepts in this book will change your life. Bianca encourages every reader to apply them to their lives as it fits them. This is the book you need if you're seeking the assurance that you can also achieve your dreams by forging your own path to success. Race, gender, sexuality, religion, spirituality-your circumstances don't have to define you if you recognize your role in the outcome of your life. Your success story is on the other side of sacrifice and hard work. This is Bianca's story, and you can read all about it in her new book!

Academy of the Oppressed
There is a need for constant assessment of an ever-changing leadership landscape, especially in universities, as we move towards the mid-twenty-first century. Decades of university reform has turned higher education into a system of corporate universities led by millionaire executive teams who are accountable to each other, university boards and senates, and governments, but rarely students or academics - with academics being the most disposable component of the equation. Academy of the Oppressed approaches potential university reform as a system that has gone far beyond institutions being for scholars, led by scholars, driven by the creation and dissemination of knowledge, and separated from the influence of government and business. Heffernan takes Friere's primary works as a theoretical guide to dissect how university leaders and leadership teams (the oppressors) have slowly eroded the power the academic body (the oppressed) once had in guiding the institution and themselves. The important insights collated here provide guidance to progress towards institutions where academics possess more control of the policies that guide their careers, the knowledge they create, the knowledge they share, the students they inspire, and the communities they aim to serve.

Empowering your journey with wisdom and purpose makes this a must-read, life-changing experience. Your future begins now." Dr. Carolina M. Billings_____________________________Midlife is no newcomer on the scene, but it has experienced a remarkable resurgence of interest in the past two decades. The culprit behind this revival? None other than the ever-increasing negative messaging and fear-mongering that perpetuates a clicking clock on beauty and vitality.We say, Bull-Poop to that! As people started living longer, women and men found themselves extending their careers, impact, and realizing their dreams or embarking on new ones.But here's the twist: these changes, these transitions, they weren't just about switching jobs, or having an existential crisis. They were about navigating a whirlwind of psychological, emotional, cultural, and physical changes that often accompanied this midlife journey.MidLIFE Without Crisis is a reminder, an invitation to reframe and a call to action to take ownership of your story and let the world know what you - the here of your story- decides what happens now.
