Critical Narratives of Technology and Imagination in Higher Education explores the implications of artificial intelligence’s (AI’s) adoption in higher education and the challenges to building sustainable instead of dystopic schooling.

Mariupol 2013-2022

By Josticova, Hana
2024., Central European University Press:

Subject: History
Availability:1 of 1(Digital)
Read More

Summary Note

The chapters in this book represent successive phases of one story – that of Mariupol, formerly Ukraine’s tenth largest city, and the second largest in the Donbas region. The author, a young Slovak academic, conducted her ethnographic fieldwork in this coastal town between November 2018 and August 2021. She was one of the last academics to do research in Mariupol before its invasion and eventual occupation by Russia. During these years, Hana Jošticová was overwhelmed by acts of mobilization and resistance that went in opposite directions: support for a Western direction of Ukraine’s future, and support for the status quo that the victory of the Euromaidan seemed to threaten. She noted the sequence of events presented in the media and through the lens of individual frames and narratives. Her book is a collection and interpretation of memories and testimonies from both sides: those who actively resisted Russian influence; and those who sparked their own revolution, the ‘Russian Spring.’ Her focus is on self-mobilized individuals who resorted to action outside of established organizational structures spontaneously, autonomously, without resources and guarantees of safety. Her evidence indicates that popular support for the Russian Spring had less to do with Russia than with the social, economic, or cultural characteristics of the Donetsk region. Years of immersive research convinced the author that individuals are as important as masses, ideas are a

The Future of Islamic Banking and Finance in Indonesia; Performance, Risk and Regulation

By Romi Adetio Setiawan
2024., :

Subject: Risk management; financial instruments; banking system; islamic law; risk; basel accords; banking regulation
Availability:1 of 1(Digital)
Read More

Summary Note

Sharia compliance is the raison d’etre of Islamic banks. All of their instruments and activities should be based on sharia principles, which unfortunately exposes them to greater risks than their conventional counterparts, regulated under the dual banking system in Indonesia. These include inconsistencies between fatwas, unique reputational risks and inefficiencies in the regulatory framework governing Islamic banks. The Future of Islamic Banking and Finance in Indonesia: Performance, Risk and Regulation critically examines the less-studied issue of developing an Islamic banking regulatory and supervisory framework that considers the risk pressures faced by Islamic banks operations in an Indonesian financial sector dominated by conventional banks. The book assesses the extent to which the global financial standards of the Basel Accords have been followed by Islamic banks in Indonesia, with respect to their regulation, supervision and risk management, to highlight the unresolved tensions in the multiple regulatory and supervisory institutions. The book proposes a middle-ground approach that accommodates modification of the existing financial regulatory and supervisory system in line with international best practice. The reforms proposed in this book offer a way for financial regulatory and supervisory agencies to further develop modern Islamic law and finance. The book will be a valuable resource for scholars and policymakers interested in the dual banking system in Indonesia.

The Historical Role of Islam

2024., Blurb:

Subject: Islamic History
Availability:1 of 1(Digital)
Read More

Summary Note

THE HISTORICAL ROLE OF ISLAM (An Essay on Islamic Culture) by M N Roy first published in 1937. The phenomenal success of Islam was primarily due to its revolutionary significance and its ability to lead the masses out of the hopeless situation created by the decay of antique civilizations not only of Greece and Rome but of Persia and China and of India. The sword of Islam, wielded ostensibly at the service of God, actually contributed to the victory of a new social force-the blossoming of a new intellectual life which eventually dug the graves of all religions and faiths. The spirit of Islam was not invented by the genius of Mohammad; nor was it revealed to him. It was a heritage of history conferred on the Arabian nation. The greatness of Mohammad was his ability to recognize the value of the heritage and make his countrymen conscious of it.

With the following reasons, the publication of the first volume of the series is initiated: First, good ideas will receive less appreciation, or will not trigger further exploration, if they are not collected in a joint book publication. “Ideas have legs” an Indonesian idiom says so. The ideas of someone who is thinking deeply about Islamic Psychology are likely owned also by other people (i.e readers), and therefore these ideas coming from different people can be connected through the current series publication. It can also be that someone’s idea become sharper from reading relevant article(s), because she/he will know what other people have thought about, written and shared and them reflect them on her/his own idea.

Encompassing critical engagement and reflection, the resources have been designed to be easily developed and adapted to specific teaching contexts.

Including chapters on the ethical implications of using technology and the ethics involved in assessment and feedback, equal weight is given to both translation and interpreting.

Providing a key point of reference for information on different theories of ethics, insight into pedagogical practices around the globe, and practical guidance on resource development for classroom use and extension activities for independent learning, this is an essential text for all instructors and lecturers teaching ethics in translation and interpreting studies.

Travelling in the pursuit of knowledge

Availability:1 of 1(Digital)

Summary Note

Before you is the English translation of the classical treatise al-Rihlah fi Talab al-Hadith by the great scholar of the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence and the Imam’_Îâ’__Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Thabit al-Khatib al-Baghdadi; His complete biography from ImŠ—ÈΣm al-Dhahabi’s voluminous work Siyar Alam an-Nubala’ has also been translated and added herein. This treatise is essentially a gathering of powerful and insightful narrations (of the Companions, pious predecessors, and the Prophet Musa) that emphasise the importance of travelling and exerting efforts towards seeking knowledge. It also serves as a historical record, highlighting the efforts of the early generations of scholars without whom the knowledge would not have been collected. These narrations also serve as a reminder of the high aspirations and humility required by Muslims in the pursuit of knowledge, a wakeup call to tread the path of our pious predecessors. Imam al-Dhahabi said regarding al-Khatib:”He produced a great amount of literature and was advanced in his works to the extent that he overshadowed his peers… He eventually became indisputably the most learned person of his time.” Abu Ali’_Îâ’__Al-Baradani said, “The hafiz of our time, Ab’_’â_ Bakr al-Khatib narrated to us. I have never seen the like of him, nor do I think he witnessed anyone similar to him.”
