The Islamic financial sector has developed its instruments rapidly since the 1960s, and a Muslim customer can get almost all financial services supplied by the conventional Western type of financial sector through so-called participation banks, which are run, it is said, in compliance with Islamic values and norms. For instance, they collect funds by special methods to finance economic activities,
Turkish President Erdogan is a faithful Muslim and strongly objects to getting/paying interest. To reduce the (high) inflation rate, he declared in a speech at Parliament: “As long as I am in office, I will fight interest. The NAS is there.” The primary purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the nature of this concept and to find out whether there is indeed a NAS with the specific aim of curb

It analyses the political and economic factors that affected the work time norms in the second half of the twentieth century, from around 1970 to 2000. The chapter discusses work organization in the changing world of low economic growth, decelerating increases in labour pr
Being accepted by others matters more to us than being factually correct – and this is the key to tackling our post-truth society.
There is an urgent need of improving the lives of 100 million slum dwellers until year 2020. The Habitat Agenda has identified self-help housing among other enabling housing strategies. This paper focuses on mapping organizations and different types of organized self-help housing (OSHH) projects since year 2000 with the aim of analyzing important lessons from practice.

This chapter addresses artistic research through the concept of co-costuming in public—a material-discursive practice between humans and more-than-human materialities with co-creational potentials. The chapter documents how co-costumed entanglements cultivate the wearers’ sociomaterial relation-spatial sensitivity towards each other as well as towards other humans and more-than-human materialities
In this paper, we study rational Collet–Eckmann maps for which the Julia set is not the whole sphere and for which the critical points are recurrent at a slow rate. In families where the orders of the critical points are fixed, we prove that such maps are Lebesgue density points of hyperbolic maps. In particular, if all critical points are simple, these maps are Lebesgue density points of hyperbol
