Conclusions: Sustainable Constitutionalism Through Practice -- References -- IndexConstitutionalism is steadily becoming the prevalent form of governance in Africa. But how does constitutionalism deal with the lingering effects of colonialism? And how does constitutional law deal with Islamic principles in the region? African Constitutionalism and the Role of Islam seeks to answer these questions. Constitutional governance has not been, nor will be, easily achieved, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im argues. But setbacks and difficulties are to be expected in the process of adaptation and indigenization of an essentially alien concept-that of of nation-state-and its role in large-scale political and social organization.An-Na'im discusses the problems of implementing constitutionalized forms of government specific to Africa, from definitional to conceptual and practical issues. The role of Islam in these endeavors is open to challenge and reformulation, and should not be taken for granted or assumed to be necessarily negative or positive, An-Na'im asserts, and he emphasizes the role of the agency of Muslims in the process of adapting constitutionalism to the values and practices of their own societies. By examining the incremental successes that some African nations have already achieved and An-Na'im reveals the contingent role that Islam has to play in this process. Ultimately, these issues will determine the long-term sustainability of constitutionalism in Africa.Pennsylvania studies in human rights.Islam and stateConstitutional law (Islamic law)Constitutional lawAfricaPhilosophyConstitutional lawAfricaElectronic books.

Although tough regulations across the globe may still limit the broader use of UAVs, their use in precision agriculture, ecology, atmospheric research, disaster response biosecurity, ecological and reef monitoring, forestry, fire monitoring, quick response measurements for emergency disaster, Earth science research, volcanic gas sampling, monitoring of gas pipelines, mining plumes, humanitarian observations and biological/chemo-sensing tasks continues to increase. This book provides a forum for high-quality peer-reviewed papers that broaden the awareness and understanding of UAV developments, applications of UAVs for remote sensing, and associated developments in sensor technology, data processing and communications, and UAV system design and sensing capabilities. The book covers the following topics: - improvements in UAV sensor technology; - UAV sensor design; - descriptions of processing algorithms applied to UAV-based imagery datasets; - the use of optical, multi-spectral, hyperspectral, laser, and optical SAR technologies onboard UAVs; - Artificial intelligence and data mining-based strategies from UAV-acquired datasets; - UAV onboard data storage, transmission, and retrieval; - multiple platform UAV, AUV, and ground robot networks; - UAV sensor applications including: precision agriculture, construction, mining, pest detection, forestry, wildlife tracking, atmosphere, wildfire monitoring and prevention, reef monitoring, Earth science research pollution monitoring, micro-climates, land use precision agriculture, ecology, atmospheric research, quick response measurements for emergency disaster.Remote sensingDrone aircraftRemote sensing.Drone aircraft.621.3678Gonzalez Toro FelipeTsourdos AntoniosNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910674396703321UAV or drones for remote sensing applications2948856UNINA
