Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -So-called 'Islamic Finance' exists but it is neither Islamic nor true finance. For example, it has riba/interest which is disguised by different legal forms. The services offered by today¿s Islamic banks are only superficially free of interest and the underlying reality of interest is glossed over by the legal text of the contracts. In practice, 'Islamic Finance' rips off more from borrowers than does Western finance.Furthermore, like Western finance, 'Islamic Finance' has no desire to spread the real economy so that every person in society may benefit. Moreover, like Western finance,' Islamic Finance' is merely designed to increase debt; to keep productive capacity narrowly owned, and to steal the resources of others and other countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The government of Nigeria is making every effort to promote small scale businesses and economic diversification away from over-reliance on crude oil. Despite various schemes so far introduced by governments in Nigeria towards the promotion of enterprises and encouragement of small and medium scale businesses, not much is yet achieved. A lot of enterprising youths still prefer white collar jobs to entrepreneurship. However, the inability of small scale businesses to keep proper records, and also, non-separation of business transactions from household transactions are unexplored reasons behind the erroneous impression that businesses are not profitable as much as they really are. This book, using various practical examples, and very relevant life experiences, has been able to give necessary guides on how business records can be separated from household records hence the business owners and managers will clearly see the profitability of their businesses. This will make them see themselves better off as business owners and entrepreneurs than ¿mere salary earners¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Aging is one of the topics that is on the front burner for the developed and developing countries and its importance increases every passing day. Cancer is one of the reasons for mortality and morbidity during old age. Cancer incidence increases with age. This increase is explained with the molecular changes occurring with aging, insufficiencies in the immune system, old tissues¿ increased sensitivity to carcinogens and carcinogenesis being a long process. Increasing lifespan leads to the cells to lose their ability to rejuvenescence and the development of cancer cells. Therefore, it is natural for the cancer incidence to increase with age. While the treatment and care of the elderly cancer patients is planned, an extensive evaluation is essential. The effects of aging related physical, cognitive, social and economic factors should be taken into consideration during this evaluation. This book will be helpful for the healthcare professionals, researchers and students that are interested in the topic ¿the elderly and cancer¿; will reveal the connection between old age and the development of cancer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The creation of an individual identity is a fascinating cultural phenomena, but for the expression of the individual self in current post-modern digital society with its fundamentals rooted in capitalism, seems to be little room. Human expression seems to be approached as a cultivation instead of an autonomous outcome which is due to capitalist mass consumption. The shift from web 1.0 to web 2.0 generated a profitable platform society. An environment wherein individual identities are central and get translated into products of a pre-programmed disciplined power structure executed on online platforms. The commodification of user-generated data resulted into an embedded structure within an algorithmic filter bubble better known as Google¿s ¿personalised search¿ concept. The filter bubble seems to be a new construct but is actually a technological embodiment of fixed patterns for the existing human modernity of creating the self. The individual platform user seems to compromise his individual values for being and living online.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book reconnoitres my migration experience to Europe from an anthropological perspective. It answers two key questions: What are the sources of Imaginations of diasporic livability How is liminality experienced in migration situations The book is targeted at researchers and academics interested in fathoming post-modern approaches to research, including studies of 'selves', but also appeals, in its simplistic narrative genre, to non academic audiences who can easily relate to a migration story, possibly similar to their own. I gathered that the family and society, economy, and politics were central in (re) shaping my imaginations of diasporic livability. Moreover, I engaged in certain activities or rituals such as creating friendships, communicating with family back home, changing my lifestyle abroad and taking time to travel, as a response to my liminal condition, subsuming from emigrating from my home country, but neither fully integrating to Europe. With this book, I argue that boundaries of the lifer-course or diverse migration experiences in particular, are rich with cultural data available to researchers to interpret, analyse and narrate in multifarious ways.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
