Discourse around Muslims and Islam all too often lapses into a
false dichotomy of Orientalist and fundamentalist tropes. A popular
reimagining of Islam is urgently needed. Yet it is a perhaps
unexpected political philosophical tradition that has the most to
offer in this pursuit: anarchism. Islam and Anarchism is a highly
original and interdisciplinary work, which simultaneously disrupts
two commonly held beliefs - that Islam is necessarily authoritarian
and capitalist; and that anarchism is necessarily anti-religious
and anti-spiritual. Deeply rooted in key Islamic concepts and
textual sources, and drawing on radical Indigenous, Islamic
anarchistic and social movement discourses, Abdou proposes
'Anarca-Islam'. Constructing a decolonial, non-authoritarian and
non-capitalist Islamic anarchism, Islam and Anarchism
philosophically and theologically challenges the classist, sexist,
racist, ageist, queerphobic and ableist inequalities in the
entwined imperial context of societies like Egypt, and
settler-colonial societies such as Canada and the USA.
Transition from a back-end developer to a full-stack developer with
knowledge of all the dimensions of web application development,
namely, front-end, back-end and server-side software. This book
provides a comprehensive overview of Streamlit, allowing developers
and programmers of all backgrounds to get up to speed in as little
time as possible. Streamlit is a pure Python web framework that
will bridge the skills gap and shorten development time from weeks
to hours. This book walks you through the complete cycle of web
application development, from an introductory to advanced level
with accompanying source code and resources. You will be exposed to
developing basic, intermediate, and sophisticated user interfaces
and subsequently you will be acquainted with data visualization,
database systems, application security, and cloud deployment in
Streamlit. In a market with a surplus demand for full stack
developers, this skill set could not possibly come at a better
time. In one sentence, Streamlit is a means for the empowerment of
developers everywhere and all stand to gain from it. What You'll
Learn Mutate big data in real-time Visualize big data interactively
Implement web application security and privacy protocols Deploy
Streamlit web applications to the cloud using Streamlit, Linux and
Windows servers Who is this Book for? Developers with solid
programming experience wanting to learn Streamlit; Back-end
developers looking to upskill and transition to become a full-stack
developers; Those who wish to learn and become more acquainted with
data visualization, database systems, security and cloud deployment

'One of the fiercest books I've ever read' - Jasbir K. Puar
Discourse around Muslims and Islam all too often lapses into a
false dichotomy of Orientalist and fundamentalist tropes. A popular

'Anarcha-Islam'. Constructing a decolonial, non-authoritarian and
non-capitalist Islamic anarchism, Islam and Anarchism
philosophically and theologically challenges the classist, sexist,

The use of Academic Podcasting Technology and MALL (Mobile Assisted
Language Learning) is reshaping teaching and learning by
supporting, expanding, and enhancing course content, learning
activities, and teacher-student interactions. Academic Podcasting
and Mobile Assisted Language Learning: Applications and Outcomes
shares innovative and pedagogically effective ways to improve
foreign language education by identifying the instructional uses
and benefits of academic podcasting technology and MALL in foreign
language acquisition. These include instructional uses, students
perceived learning gains, how instructors can use/have used the
technology (successes and challenges), study abroad experiences
with the technology, pedagogical impact, and economic perspectives
on its use.
Extracellular proteins of pathogenic bacteria are main contributors
of pathogenesis and are involved in bacterial virulence. These
proteins have a range of biological functions ranging from host
cell toxicity to more subtle alterations of the host cell for the
benefit of the invader (Wooldridge,2009).The virulence factors of
pathogenic bacteria are divided into several groups on the basis of
the mechanism of virulence and function. Of the important ones are
secretary proteins such as toxins and enzymes (Wu et al., 2008).
Among these pathogenic bacteria are genus Bacillus and
Staphylococcus which cause a wide variety of diseases through
production of their toxins on several substrates, among these
substrates "food" and this resulting in food poisoning. Polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) methods offer a sensitive and specific
detection of pathogens and can discriminate virulent bacteria from
a virulent members of the same species as well(Olsen, 2000). In the
last 10 years, many authors have proposed the use of PCR for the
detection of food-borne pathogens to replace the time-consuming
culture-based classical techniques (Gravet et al., 1999 and Miethke
et al., 1992).
It is very common for radiologists, looking at a medical image (MI)
to make quick circles around any abnormality for diagnosis or
segmentation purposes. However automatic segmentation of region of
interest (ROI) is an increasing research field for both compression
and computer aided diagnosis. This book introduces modified methods
for biomedical image processing, telemedicine, and archiving. The
proposed automatic segmentation method uses an introduced
artificial neural network and a modified fuzzy technique; whereas
in coding it uses a modified arithmetic encoder. Moreover, based on
the important observation that large wavelet coefficients are much
more important than small wavelet coefficients, a fast and reduced
bit embedded zerotree wavelet (FEZW) algorithm is applied. This
FEZW aims to reduce the transmission time and storage space of
images in low bandwidth environments. Several magnetic resonance
brain images and fluorescene ophthalmic images are used to validate
these proposed techniques.The book is organized in nine chapters.
