The End of the Jihâd State

The End of the Jihâd State

Khalid Yahya Blankinship

State University of New York Press
1994
pokkari
Demonstrates for the first time that the cause of the Umayyad caliphate's collapse came not just from internal conflict, but from a number of external and concurrent factors that exceeded the caliphate's capacity to respond. Stretching from Morocco to China, the Umayyad caliphate based its expansion and success on the doctrine of jihad—armed struggle to claim the whole earth for God's rule, a struggle that had brought much material success for a century but suddenly ground to a halt followed by the collapse of the ruling Umayyad dynasty in 750 CE. The End of the Jihad State demonstrates for the first time that the cause of this collapse came not just from internal conflict, as has been claimed, but from a number of external and concurrent factors that exceeded the caliphate's capacity to respond.

Practical Performance Modeling

Practical Performance Modeling

Khalid Begain; Gunter Bolch; Helmut Herold

Springer
2001
sidottu
Practical Performance Modeling: Application of the MOSEL Language introduces the new and powerful performance and reliability modeling language MOSEL (MOdeling, Specification and Evaluation Language), developed at the University of Erlangen, Germany. MOSEL facilitates the performance and reliability modeling of a computer, communication, manufacturing or workflow management system in a very intuitive and simple way. The core of MOSEL consists of constructs to specify the possible states and state transitions of the system under consideration. This specification is very compact and easy to understand. With additional constructs, the interesting performance or reliability measures and graphical representations can be specified. With some experience, it is possible to write down the MOSEL description of a system immediately only by knowing the behavior of the system under study. There are no restrictions, unlike models using, for example, queueing networks, Petri nets or fault trees. MOSEL fulfills all the requirements for a universal modeling language. It is high level, system-oriented, and usable. It is open and can be integrated with many tools. By providing compilers, which translate descriptions specified in MOSEL into the tool-specific languages, all previously implemented tools with their different methods and algorithms (including simulation) can be used. Practical Performance Modeling: Application of the MOSEL Language provides an easy to understand but nevertheless complete introduction to system modeling using MOSEL and illustrates how easily MOSEL can be used for modeling real-life examples from the fields of computer, communication, and manufacturing systems. Practical Performance Modeling: Application of the MOSEL Language will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of performance and reliability modeling in computer science, communication, and manufacturing. It is also well suited as a textbook for university courses covering performance and reliability modeling with practical applications.

Immigrants and Cultural Adaptation in the American Workplace

Immigrants and Cultural Adaptation in the American Workplace

Khalid M. Alkhazraji

CRC Press Inc
1997
sidottu
Today's managers must deal with a wide variety of employee differences in ethnic backgrounds, values, lifestyles, and needs. This book presents a model of employee acculturation, investigating how Muslim employees adapt to U.S. national and organizational cultures The study investigates the relationships between respondents' acculturation patterns, their degree of religiosity, degree of collective or individual orientation, the extent of perceived discrepancies between their original cultures and U.S. organizational culture, and their national origin, examining demographic variables such as age, gender, education, occupation, and number of years lived and worked in the U.S Responses from 339 Muslims revealed that most were inclined to retain their original culture rather than adopting U.S. national culture. In contrast, most accepted U.S. organizational cultures. The analysis of the practical implications of these findings for business management highlights a number of practical strategies for coping with an increasingly multicultural workforce (Ph.D. dissertation, University of Mississippi, 1993; revised with new preface, and index)

Ethics and Economic Theory

Ethics and Economic Theory

Khalid Mir

CRC Press Inc
2018
sidottu
This book takes a multi-disciplinary critique of economics’ first principles: the fundamental and inter-related structuring assumptions that underlie the neo-classical paradigm. These assumptions, that economic agents are rational, self-interested individuals, continue to influence the teaching of economics, research agendas and policy analyses. The book argues that both the theoretical understanding of the economy and the actual working of real-world market economies diminish the scope for thinking about the relation between ethics, economics, and the economy. It highlights how market economies may "crowd out" ethical behavior and our evaluation of them elides ethical reflection. The book calls for a more pluralistic and richer approach to economic theory, one that allows ample room for ethical considerations. It provides insight into understanding human motivations and human flourishing and how a good economy requires reflection on the ethical relations between the self, world, and time.

Black Markets and Militants

Black Markets and Militants

Khalid Mustafa Medani

Cambridge University Press
2022
pokkari
Understanding the political and socio-economic factors which give rise to youth recruitment into militant organizations is central to grasping some of the most important issues that affect the contemporary Middle East and Africa. In this book, Khalid Mustafa Medani explains why youth are attracted to militant organizations, examining the specific role economic globalization plays in determining how and why militant activists emerge. Based on extensive fieldwork, Medani offers an in-depth analysis of the impact of globalization, neoliberal reforms and informal economic networks on the rise and evolution of moderate and militant Islamist movements. In an original contribution to the study of Islamist and ethnic politics, he shows the importance of understanding when and under what conditions religious rather than other forms of identity become politically salient. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Today, scientists are expected to be more accountable and transparent than at any other time in history. Globally, the pursuit of knowledge creation enjoys a place of distinction, and the public expects to reap considerable benefits from the innovative contributions made by researchers. It is, therefore, more important than ever that ethics, transparency, and professionalism explicitly guide research integrity.Despite the clear importance of acquiring a fundamental understanding of clinical trials in the context of health research and innovation, medical training generally fails to cover clinical trial integrity in its curriculum, including it neither at the undergraduate nor at the postgraduate levels. This new book provides a curriculum to address this gap, offering best practice guidelines to improve the quality, openness, and trustworthiness of clinical trials and filling a current void in the market.Key Features: The first book on clinical trial integrity Provides clear guidance on how to ensure probity in peer review, appraisal of trials, and investigation of complaints concerning misconduct in clinical trials Trains and supports researchers globally on how to undertake trials with integrity Ensures that the increasing demand for public documentation of all aspects throughout the lifecycle of a clinical trial can be metThis book is essential reading for master and doctoral students undertaking courses in clinical trials, epidemiology, and medical statistics and an invaluable reference for medical journal editors and peer reviewers, clinicians who recruit patients into trials, pharmaceutical industry professionals, patient and public representatives who engage in clinical trials, systematic reviewers, guideline writers, and funders and regulators of clinical trials.

Identity, Dispossession and Resilience of the Subaltern

Identity, Dispossession and Resilience of the Subaltern

Khalid Wasim Hassan; Deepanshu Mohan; Ishfaq Ahmad Wani; Najam Us Saqib

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Khalid Wasim Hassan, Deepanshu Mohan, Ishfaq Ahmad Wani and Najam Us Saqib examine the processes of marginality and ‘othering’ which the subaltern groups in Kashmir face due to their attribution to a particular social caste, ethnicity, language or status of their citizenship. They further explore the sense of belonging and identity formation of the Pashtun community in the Kashmir Valley, India.The book provides a balanced discussion on theoretical debates and empirical cases, with the introductory chapter providing an overview of the theoretical framework on identity and dispossession and its relationship to the processes of marginalisation. The other chapters discuss specific empirical cases that provide the theoretical underpinnings on relevant notions, such as caste, ethnicity, nationalism and identity politics. Through the empirical cases of the Sheikh community and Hanji community, the book sheds light on the prevailing caste system and caste-induced discrimination among Muslims. It also further explores the different forms of resilience as exercised by the subaltern groups in Kashmir, where many social groups and communities experience marginalisation and how some communities such as Tibetan Kashmiri Muslim, which lacked the state-defined citizenship status till recently, had led to the exclusion of this community from various socio-economic and political rights.This is a comprehensive volume that will appeal to academics, scholars and policymakers in South Asian studies, social sciences and humanities, especially those interested in the study of caste, ethnicity, nationalism and identity politics for the marginalised communities in Kashmir.
