Authors explore themes of poverty reduction, the extent of natural resource endowments (especially mineral resources) and the influence on social and economic development. Chapters explore theory and practice, including governance and programmes, and take a detailed look at Zakat as a faith-based policy tool, to reduce poverty and improve  livelihoods and thus contribute to better environmental stewardship. The final chapters look at development questions in the Muslim World and make policy recommendations, including a proposed multi-dimensional development collaboration model called the Development Collaboration Octagon Model (DeCOM). Readers will discover theoretical explanations of poverty and how poverty hampers the development of many nations because the poor are unable to partake actively in the development process. Poverty indicators and measurement are discussed, and trends of economic growth including productivity, manufacturing, trade patterns, investment and saving activity are all explored: supporting data is presented in tables and figures, throughout this text. Authors explore the potency and success stories of public poverty alleviation strategies and programmes pursued in the Muslim world, especially the extent to which the institution of Zakat has been effectively incorporated into public poverty alleviation strategies. Policy options required to enhance social and economic development are proposed, to help pull the poor out of the poverty trap into the mainstream economy in the Muslim world. This work will appeal to anyone wishing to scrutinise poverty, its parameters and its relationship with the development of countries in the Muslim world. Scholars in the fields of economics, sociology, geography and Islamic studies will all find something of value here. .Social structureEqualityMedical researchDemographySocial Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Quality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H65000Demographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000Social structure.Equality.Medical research.Demography.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Quality of Life Research.Demography.338.9338.927091767362.5091767Abdulai Abdul-Muminauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1224930Shamshiry Elmiraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910483914103321Linking Sustainable Livelihoods to Natural Resources and Governance2844166UNINA03736nam 2200505z- 450 991022005370332120210211(CKB)3800000000216241(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/48164(oapen)doab48164(EXLCZ)99380000000021624120202102d2016 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFrontiers of Sulfur Metabolism in Plant Growth, Development, and Stress ResponseFrontiers Media SA20161 online resource (368 p.)Frontiers Research Topics9782889199037 2889199037 Growing plants have a constitutive demand for sulfur to synthesize proteins, sulfolipids and other essential sulfur containing molecules for growth and development. The uptake and subsequent distribution of sulfate is regulated in response to demand and environmental cues. The importance of sulfate for plant growth and vigor and hence crop yield and nutritional quality for human and animal diets has been clearly recognized. The acquisition of sulfur by plants, however, has become an increasingly important concern for the agriculture due to the decreasing S-emissions from industrial sources and the consequent limitation of inputs from atmospheric deposition. Molecular characterization involving transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics in Arabidopsis thaliana as well as in major crops revealed that sulfate uptake, distribution and assimilation are finely regulated depending on sulfur status and demand, and that these regulatory networks are integrated with cell cycle, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, hormonal signaling, uptake and assimilation of other nutrients, etc., to enable plant growth, development, and reproduction even under different biotic and abiotic stresses. This knowledge can be used to underpin approaches to enhance plant growth and nutritional quality of major food crops around the world. Although considerable progress has been made regarding the central role of sulfur metabolism in plant growth, development and stress response, several frontiers need to be explored to reveal the mechanisms of the cross-talk between sulfur metabolism and these processes. In this research topic the knowledge on plant sulfur metabolism is reviewed and updated. Focus is put not only on molecular mechanisms of control of sulfur metabolism but also on its integration with other vital metabolic events. The topic covers 4 major areas of sulfur research: sulfate uptake, assimilation and metabolism, regulation, and role in stress response. We hope that the topic will promote interaction between researchers with different expertise and thus contribute to a more integrative approach to study sulfur metabolism in plants.Botany & plant sciencesbicsscAdenosine PhosphosulfateCysteine synthesisGlucosinolatesGlutathioneSulfate assimilationsulfate deficiencysulfate uptakeSulfurBotany & plant sciencesKopriva Stanislav1967-auth1816659Dibyendu TalukdarauthAgnieszka SirkoauthStanislaus F.
