Islamic FinTech and Artificial Intelligent (AI) for Assessing Creditworthiness
No full textArtificial Intelligence and Islamic Finance discusses current and potential applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for risk management in Islamic finance. It covers various techniques of risk management, encompassing asset and liability management risk, credit, market, operational, liquidity risk, as well as, regulatory and Shariah risk compliance within the financial industry. The authors highlight AI’s ability to combat financial crime such as monitoring trader recklessness, anti-fraud and anti-money laundering and assert that the capacity of Machine Learning (ML) to examine large amounts of data allows for greater granular and profound analyses across a variety of Islamic financial products and services. The book concludes with practical limitations around data management policies, transparency, and lack of necessary skillsets within financial institutions. By adopting new methodological approaches steeped in an Islamic economic framework (e.g., analysing FinTech in the context of Shariah principles and Islamic values), it devises practical solutions and generates insightful knowledge, helping readers to understand and explore the role of technological enablers in the Islamic finance industry, such as RegTech and Artificial Intelligence, in providing better and Shariah-compliant services to customers through digital platforms.
The book will attract a wide readership spanning Shariah scholars, academicians and researchers as well as Islamic financial practitioners and policymakers

No full textMachine-Mediated Communication of information
No full textDue to the many different perspectives taken when using 'information', it has inevitably become a vague term. In the context of MMC it is defined as the outcome of 'interpretation' when applied to data. Furthermore, MMC is achieved through one of two types of information artefacts: data-based (DB) or knowledge-based (KB). Unlike KB artefacts, the DB ones have been well studied in HCI. This short paper argues that effective communication of KB information must be addressed at two levels, the level of the InfoArtefact and the level of the InfoSpace. For the latter, it is necessary to develop the concept of 'navigationable' InfoSpace. This can be achieved by fusing the semantics of KB InfoAartefacts supported by the provision of visual cues to support navigation in such environments
Correction: Guidelines for the prevention, detection and management of the renal complications of COVID-19 in Africa
No full textThe authors of the article ‘Guidelines for the prevention, detection and management of the renal complications of COVID-19 in Africa’ [1] wish to acknowledge the contribution of Professor Hussein El Fishawy. Our guidelines drew on various sources, including the Egyptian Ministry of Health guidelines, portions of which were adapted and reproduced with permission from the Egyptian Ministry of Health. Two of the authors of those guidelines, Professors Elsayed and Zaki, are also coauthors of our paper. Professor El Fishawy was the third author of the Egyptian guidelines and we would like to acknowledge his contribution to our review through this source, especially with respect to the treatment algorithms for patients with kidney transplants and those with acute kidney injury.

Active multimodal presentations, an overview
No full textThis workshop is concerned with a new approach to constructing effective, stand alone, multimodal presentational content, referred to as Active Multimodal Presentation (AMP). This article provides a brief overview of this new type of content, outlines the basic differences between modes of multimodal presentations in general and the tools required for developing them. AMP, as a special type of computerbased multimodal presentation is then discussed, to show that while a bespoke application will make use of the full potential of AMP technology, simpler solutions, based on tools that are readily available, could provide immediate access to such effective means of producing presentations
Représentations littéraires du sacré dans le roman maghrébin de langue française
No full textThis interdisciplinary study explores how Driss Chraïbi’s L’Homme du Livre (1995), Assia Djebar’s Loin de Médine (1991), and Anissa Boumediène’s La fin d’un monde (1991) present accounts of particular historical moments in early Islam. This study explores the role of the imagination as well as freedom of invention when reconstructing historical events. It engages the novels through a study of the interplay between the literary text and the sources and traditions that impact and shape the text narrative. Gaining direct access to the original sources in Arabic serves to analyze how religious and early historical materials are considered in and reflected by the fictional texts. Because the sources tend to differ in both content and approach, this study examines their preoccupations in order to determine the criteria of selection applied by each novelist.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Hanan Elsaye
Disrupting Islamic international trade finance using blockchain technology
No full textThis paper discusses the feasibility of using disruptive technology in Islamic international trade finance by implementing the novel wakalah smart contract based on blockchain technology. It is believed that implementing this innovative approach could facilitate international trade transactions using blockchain technology. Shari’ah-related issues of the novel FinTech enhancement are also highlighted to ensure the model’s Shari’ah compliance. An in-depth and critical review of the current evolution in Islamic Financial Technology (FinTech), international trade, the smart contract, and blockchain technology was undertaken, and is the basis of the proposal to implement the wakalah model based on blockchain technology to enhance international Islamic trade finance. The study finds that the wakalah model of international trade can be implemented on Ethereum blockchain, which is based on the smart contract and tagged as the wakalah smart contract. This is to help facilitate the execution of transactions in a secure, trusted, and faster way compared to the traditional wakalah contract. Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) are encouraged to explore the practicality of this model. This is because the model has the potential to assist entrepreneurs, international business players, and IFIs to address the many issues currently faced by international trade finance. Despite the critical importance of international trade finance (ITF) in supporting global trade and economic transactions, studies in this area have been limited, especially in relation to Islamic banking and finance (IBF). In particular, the Islamic letter of credit introduced by several Islamic banks had its basis in different Shari’ah principles that permitted the banks to participate in the transactions as agents or shareholders in joint venture businesses with the clients. The advent of Islamic FinTech has been a radical development in Islamic banking and finance. Nevertheless, Islamic FinTech has evolved into a very crucial instrument in the Islamic financial industry to develop ITF. Thus, the Islamic FinTech model will be more cost effective and involve digital technology and automation to provide an alternative option to traditional financing
