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 with Steamlit

'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.

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.
