Islamic Financial Institutions

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Islamic Financial Institutions, exploring current issues, including governance, Shariah compliance frameworks and regulatory aspects, as well as the principles involved in product structuring. It offers a basic understanding of Islamic financial instruments and their implementation in different regions. The book begins by introducing the Islamic financial system, its objectives, the financial intermediation process, the philosophy and methods of mobilization and utilization of funds followed by an overall comparison with the conventional financial system. It offers a definition and explanation of types of riba, sources of prohibition, the difference between riba and profit, types of transactions which involve interest and the adverse effects of interest on the economy. It covers a detailed study of Islamic financial contracts and discusses trade-based financing products, illustrating the structural and legal differences between conventional and trade-based financing products. Further, the book outlines the criteria for the determination of Shariah compliant status of equity securities, and the role and functions of capital markets in an Islamic framework. Finally, it goes on to present an overall model of an Islamic bank in comparison with a conventional bank, examining its methodology and procedures for ensuring shariah compliance, governance and regulation, keeping in view the operating strategies, risk management issues, liquidity requirements and so on. The book will be used by researchers, students and scholars of Islamic Banking and Finance and will also serve as a practical guide for bankers and finance professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge in the field, as well as those embarking on professional training or certification programs.

Antenna Solutions for Next Generation Enhanced Wireless Sensing Systems

Antennas have evolved beyond telecommunications to support sensing, wireless power transfer, and energy-harvesting electronic systems. As wireless technologies move toward intelligent and interconnected infrastructures, electromagnetic and radio-frequency sensing are becoming essential components of next-generation healthcare monitoring and smart environments, as well as industrial inspection and autonomous systems. To fully leverage these opportunities, such systems require interdisciplinary expertise ranging from fundamental antennas and propagation research to active antennas and applied radio-frequency technologies, as well as circuits and systems, advanced materials, and AI and machine learning. This edited book covers interdisciplinary applications with emphasis on antenna-based sensing, RFID, and multi-functional diversity antennas for joint communication, sensing, and wireless power transfer. Emerging and well-established topics are explored, including research on antenna-based and wireless sensors that incorporate novel physical concepts. By bringing together contributions from multiple EM sensing perspectives, this book provides a unified resource for understanding how antenna technology is redefining the landscape of electromagnetic sensing. It highlights advances in antenna configurations, sensing architectures, fabrication techniques, artificial intelligence-assisted sensing, wearable and implantable devices, sustainable and circular electronic systems, integrated sensing and communication platforms, and programmable metasurface antennas and reflective surfaces, for the EM sensing domain. Antenna Solutions for Next Generation Enhanced Wireless Sensing Systems is written for researchers, engineers, and students working at the intersection of antennas, electromagnetic metamaterials, wireless systems, signal processing, and RF sensing technologies across microwave, mmWave, and THz regimes. The book will also be of interest to those working in the closely related fields of IoT, electronics, energy harvesting, RF and microwave engineering, circuits and systems, and advanced electromagnetic materials.

US-China Strategic Competition

The book maps the strategic competition between the U.S. and China, its history, and the contemporary outlook of their armed forces. It analyses the wars fought by each of these forces, their military operations, operations other than war, and draws up a comparative analysis between the military doctrines of both nations. The author examines the implications of American and Chinese military doctrine and the varying degrees of cooperation, competition, and potential conflict in the Western Pacific. Finally, the book argues for possibilities of cooperation between the two superpowers and suggests ways of minimising potential future conflict. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, military and strategic studies, and Asian studies.
