The Challenges and Prospects of Sukuk
Over recent decades, Sukuk (Islamic bonds) have emerged as one of the most important tools for Islamic investment and financing. They have become the most successful financial product in the Islamic financing industry, which has grown at a phenomenal pace over the past decade.

This book comes at a key juncture in the development of the Islamic capital markets, with the global pandemic crisis providing an opportunity for the different players in the Islamic capital markets to re-appraise successes and failures...
DEEP LEARNING ARCHITECTURES - NEURAL NETWORKS AND DEEP LEARNING MODELS
Computers that can mimic human environment to the point that they display signs of intelligence, as we define it, have been the subject of intense study for almost fifty years. This can only happen if there is a large amount of knowledge about our environment stored in the computer, either consciously or unconsciously. Many academics have relied on learning algorithms to collect much of this data since formalizing all of it in a way that computers can use to answer questions and generalize seems to be a lengthy procedure. The extensive usage of learning algorithms and the recognition of their efficacy have not resolved the significant challenges that artificial intelligence (AI) still faces....

The 1998 Floods in Bangladesh
In 1998,"the flood of the century" covered more than two-thirds of Bangladesh, causing crop losses of 2.04 million tons of rice, an amount equal to 10.45 percent of target production in 1998/99. This flood threatened the health and lives of millions through food shortages caused by crop failure, loss of purchasing power, and the spread of water-borne disease. Yet very few flood-related deaths occurred, and reportedly none was due to food shortages. This report, based on data from a survey of 757 rural households in seven flood-affected regions (thanas) conducted in November and December 1998 and on analysis of secondary data on food grain markets, describes how Government of Bangladesh policy, well-functioning private markets, household coping strategies, and donor and NGO interventions combined to avert a major food crisis. To further enhance its food security, Bangladesh needs continued investments in agricultural research, extension, roads, electricity and other rural infrastructure, policies promoting efficient markets, and programs to provide targeted transfers and credit to poor households.
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Gender Linkages (ANGeL) evaluation results
The relationships between agricultural diversity, dietary diversity, and gender norms are complex and multi-dimensional. To better understand these links, and how to most effectively promote nutrition- and gender-sensitive agriculture in Bangladesh, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) designed the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Gender Linkages (ANGeL) pilot project, implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. ANGeL aimed to identify actions and investments in agriculture that will help increase farm household income, improve nutrition, and empower women. Using rigorous research, namely, a randomized controlled trial desig...
