In today’s realities of global business, Islamic organizations face a pressing challenge: how to navigate the complexities of modern markets while remaining true to their ethical principles. This dilemma poses a significant obstacle for scholars seeking to understand and address the unique needs of Islamic business. In response, editors Ahmad Rafiki and Adel Sarea propose a compelling solution, offering a comprehensive exploration of Islamic business practices that bridges the gap between theory and application. In this groundbreaking book, Innovative Ventures and Strategies in Islamic Business presents a scholarly examination of Islamic business principles, rooted in both theoretical frameworks and empirical studies. By addressing the urgent need for a scholastic approach that considers the cultural contexts of Muslim communities, the editors provide a nuanced understanding of how Islamic organizations can thrive in the modern economy. Through real-world case studies and best practices, they offer actionable insights tailored for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars alike.
The great potential of remote sensing technologies for operational use in sustainable forest management is addressed in this book, which is the reprint of papers published in the Remote Sensing Special Issue “Operationalization of Remote Sensing Solutions for Sustainable Forest Management”. The studies come from three continents and cover multiple remote sensing systems (including terrestrial mobile laser scanning, unmanned aerial vehicles, airborne laser scanning, and satellite data acquisition) and a diversity of data processing algorithms, with a focus on machine learning approaches. The focus of the studies ranges from identification and characterization of individual trees to deriving national- or even continental-level forest attributes and maps. There are studies carefully describing exercises on the case study level, and there are also studies introducing new methodologies for transdisciplinary remote sensing applications. Even though most of the authors look forward to continuing their research, nearly all studies introduced are ready for operational use or have already been implemented in practical forestry.
