The Islamic Financial System

A Critical Analysis and Suggestions for Improving Its Efficiency

This study deals with the Islamic financial system and investigates the financial instruments utilized in it. Apart from the problems related to the prohibition of interest, the suggested concept for the Islamic financial system could not be applied in practice. Profit and Loss-Sharing instruments have been utilized on a small scale so far and it would be very difficult to increase the attractiveness of these financial instruments without easing Islamic legal restrictions or at least reconsidering relevant issues from both, the Islamic socio-economic and ethical viewpoint, as well as the position of conventional finance. An improvement of efficiency may not be possible without taking a fresh look at Islamic injunctions while considering at the same time contemporary financial realities and needs such as investment opportunities, risk diversification and regulatory issues.

Microteaching Als Erlebnis- Und Handlungsorientierte Methode Im Rahmen Der Lehrerausbildung Und Der Didaktik

Eine Theoretische Und Empirische Untersuchung

Die Qualitat der Schulbildung und die Effektivitat des Lehrens und des Lernens sind unmittelbar mit den Lehreraus- und -fortbildungsprogrammen verknupft. Fur die qualitatsbezogene Verbesserung des Niveaus der Lehrerbildung spielen die padagogischen und didaktischen Theorien eine bedeutende Rolle. Ein Weg dahin, besonders in der Praxis, ist auch das Microteaching, ein Verfahren mit langer Tradition im englisch- und deutschsprachigen Raum und mit etwas kurzerer Tradition in anderen Landern, unter anderem auch Griechenland. Diese Arbeit macht das Microteaching als erlebnis- und handlungsorientierte Methode in der Lehrerausbildung und der Didaktik zu ihrem Mittelpunkt und zeigt mittels einer theoretischen Abhandlung und einer empirischen Untersuchung deren Effektivitat auf."

Citizen Relationship Management

A Study of CRM in Government

This study explores Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in government. Based on an interdisciplinary literature review and multiple-case study design, a model of Citizen Relationship Management (CiRM) is developed and discussed. The case studies explore the perceptions of CRM/CiRM by administrators, elected officials and consultants as well as its implementation and impact on the municipal level and in a multijurisdictional environment in the United States. Although the explorative part of the study focuses broadly on a theoretical conceptualization of CiRM, the immediate empirical referent of research are the 311 initiatives in the City of Baltimore, the City of Chicago, the City of New York and Miami-Dade County. Thus, the results help administrators and researchers to convey the idea and challenges of 311 well. The study shows that CRM is to a certain extent only partly able to make novel contributions to currently active reform movements in government. In addition, the study's findings support the idea that CiRM provides the means to a different kind of public participation.

Studies in Oriental culture and history

Festschrift for Walter Dostal

Diese Festschrift für den Ordinarius des Wiener Instituts für Völkerkunde, Univ. Prof. Dr. Walter Dostal, Mitglied der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, umfaßt 17 wissenschaftliche Beiträge von Kollegen und Schülern aus Großbritannien, Frankreich, Belgien, Deutschland, Österreich, Rußland und dem Jemen. Darunter befinden sich Beiträge führender Fachgelehrter zur antiken Geschichte Südarabiens, zu sozio-religiösen Entwicklungen der islamischen Gesellschaften des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit und ethnologische Studien. In einem regionalen Querschnitt von Zentralasien bis zur Türkei und von Westafrika bis zur Arabischen Halbinsel werden exemplarisch jene Fragen untersucht, die auch das wissenschaftliche Werk Dostals prägen: Wie sind Weltbild, Sozialstruktur und Herrschaft orientalischer Kulturen miteinander verbunden? Welche kulturhistorischen Voraussetzungen greift der Islam auf?

Wir dürfen aber annehmen , daß der Islam nicht mehr als eine dünne Tünche über den alten Überlieferungen und Praktiken der Stämme war . Mit der Durchsetzung der ismailitischen Mission ( da'wah ) ändert sich das jedoch ebenso radikal ...
