The anaerobic process is considered to be a sustainable technology
for organic waste treatment mainly due to its lower energy
consumption and production of residual solids coupled with the
prospect of energy recovery from the biogas generated. However, the
anaerobic process cannot be seen as providing the 'complete'
solution as its treated effluents would typically not meet the
desired discharge limits in terms of residual carbon, nutrients and
pathogens. This has given impetus to subsequent post treatment in
order to meet the environmental legislations and protect the
receiving water bodies and environment. This book discusses
anaerobic treatment from the perspective of organic wastes and
wastewaters (municipal and industrial) followed by various
post-treatment options for anaerobic effluent polishing and
resource recovery. Coverage will also be from the perspective of
future trends and thoughts on anaerobic technologies being able to
support meeting the increasingly stringent disposal standards. The
resource recovery angle is particularly interesting as this can
arguably help achieve the circular economy. It is intended the
information can be used to identify appropriate solutions for
anaerobic effluent treatment and possible alternative approaches to
the commonly applied post-treatment techniques. The succeeding
discussion is intended to lead on to identification of
opportunities for further research and development. This book can
be used as a standard reference book and textbook in universities
for Master and Doctoral students. The academic community relevant
to the subject, namely faculty, researchers, scientists, and
practicing engineers, will find the book both informative and as a
useful source of successful case studies.

Any attempt to homogenize Kashmiri society or the politico-cultural
discourse on Kashmir is a dangerously flawed exercise. To that end,
the chapters in this book address various aspects of the political,
cultural, and socioeconomic life in Kashmir. These chapters are
interdisciplinary interventions that could potentially bridge
ethnic, religiocultural, and political divides in the region. The
book is divided into three sections: the first section explores
history and memory, offering a critical dialogue between these
phenomena and fiction. The chapters in section two offer a critical
dialogue between history, politics, and gender, analyzing
historical and political discourses to underscore the agential
capacities of Kashmiri women, which are, traditionally, subsumed
within masculinist discourse. The sole chapter in section three
foregrounds the complex relationship between history, trauma, and
poetry. Taken together, this book is a nuanced attempt at giving
readers the opportunity to engage with multiple subjectivities,
historical understandings, and political opinions. It will be of
interest to general readers, scholars, and advanced students of
Literature, Politics, History, Human Geography and Sociology. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the South Asian
Review.

In this study, Nyla Ali Khan focuses on the representation of South
Asian life in works by four contemporary Anglophone writers: V. S.
Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, and Anita Desai.
Concentrating on the intertwined topics of nationalism,
transnationalism, and fundamentalism, Khan offers a critical
dialogue between these works and the contemporary history they
encounter, using history to interrogate fiction and using fiction
to think through historical issues. In doing so, Khan argues that
in the mixed, heterogeneous space of transnationalism, cultural and
linguistic authenticity is a pipe dream. The binary structures
created by the colonial encounter undergo a process of dialectical
interplay in which each culture or language makes incursions into
the other. Some of these structures are as follows: black-white,
primitive-savage, self-other, silent-articulate, rational ruler and
irrational ruled. These categories generate a dichotomy that
creates the perception that a people have of themselves and their
political and social relationships. Their recognition of this
dialogic interplay of community and place becomes the basis for
strategies that enable transnational and postcolonial writers to
revise dogmatic categories. Despite all their differences, the
works of these authors delineate the asymmetrical relations of
colonialism and the aftermath of this phenomenon as it is
manifested across the globe in this day and age. Khan shows, for
instance, how Naipaul articulates a sensibility created by
multilayered identities and the remapping of old imperial
landscapes, in the process suggesting a new dynamic of power
relations in which politics and selfhood, empire and psychology,
prove to be profoundly interrelated; how Rushdie encourages a
nationalist self-imagining and a rewriting of history that
incorporates significant cultural, religious, and linguistic
differences into our sense of identity; how Ghosh is critical of
the putative cultural and religious necessity to forge a unified
nationalist identity, arguing that no single theory sufficiently
frames the multiple inheritances of present diasporic
subjectivities; and how Desai seeks to imagine a responsible form
of artistic, social, and political agency.

There has been a rapid increase in the interest in the study of
Islamic finance, resulting in a dramatic rise in financing since
the beginning of the century. By the end of 2017 global industry
assets had reached $2.4 trillion and were forecasted to reach $3.2
trillion by 2020, despite historic challenges to Islam itself at
the same time. This collection of chapters provides key
theoretical, empirical, and policy insights into Islamic finance
from an overall complex financial and economic systems perspective.
Within the complex financial and economic systems framework, this
book addresses questions such as how to conceptualize Islamic
financial institutions in a nonlinear general equilibrium system,
how to promote Islamic Finance in Africa, how "Islamic" is Islamic
finance, and how it affects price stability, among other topics.
The book provides case studies in Africa and Asia, addresses the
subject in a structural financial CGE model, demonstrates the
development impact of Islamic finance, and presents an Islamic
version of the Iceland Plan for Monetary Reform.

Since its identification by Sir Henry H. Dale a century ago,
histamine has become one of the most important multifunctional
biogenic amines in the field of biomedicine. The pharmacological
effects of histamine are mediated through four types of membrane
histamine receptors; H1R, H2R, H3R and H4R, which are all
heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptors. It has been known to play
the broadest spectrum of activities in various physiological and
pathological conditions including cell proliferation,
differentiation, hematopoiesis, embryonic development,
regeneration, wound healing, aminergic neurotransmission and
numerous brain functions, secretion of pituitary hormones,
regulation of gastrointestinal and circulatory functions,
cardiovascular system, as well as inflammatory reactions,
modulation of the immune response, endocrine function and
homeostasis, and other important areas. This book is a compendium
of the current state of established and investigational literature
on Histamine, its receptors and their Agonists and antagonists. It
provides a comprehensive overview of histamine biology in the field
of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, immunology,
allergy, neurobiology, pharmacology, microbiology and reproductive
biology. The first section on Histamine biology and physiology
leads into subsequent sections on enzymology, pharmacology,
regulation of the immune system and cell proliferation and role in
allergic and other diseases including acid peptic diseases,
inflammatory diseases, autoimmune and cancer diseases, nervous
system, reproductive functions and hematopoiesis. The compilation
of chapters in the book presents the most recent advances in
