Although Comparative Theology can be a confessional or a non-confessional endeavor, most protagonists and theorists have been Western Christians. This could lead to the conclusion that Comparative Theology is in fact a Christian undertaking and implicitly or explicitly bound to conceptions like Christology. Furthermore, it could be argued that there is a certain asymmetry of power in the discourse between religions when the parameters of Comparative Theology are defined mainly by Christian theologians. This volume aims to be the first step to programmatically and conceptionally explore the possibility of a genuinely Islamic Comparative Theology in a constructive endeavor. This endeavor should neither be misunderstood as an apologetic questioning of the status quo in Comparative Theology nor as a project that deconstructs Comparative Theology. Rather, by searching for new approaches from the Islamic traditions it opens up ways and forms of learning, hermeneutically complementary with prominent attitudes, methods in Comparative Theology. }}, editor = {{Nassery, Idris and Ghaffar, Zishan}}, isbn = {{978-3-11-143539-8}}, issn = {{2942-7975}}, keywords = {{Comparative Theology, Islamic Theology, Islamic Comparative Theology}}, publisher = {{De Gruyter}}, title = {{{Defining Islamic Comparative Theology}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111435695}}, volume = {{Volume 1}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{66048, author = {{Ghaffar, Zishan}}, booktitle = {{Defining Islamic Comparative Theology}}, editor = {{Nassery, Idris and Ghaffar, Zishan}}, keywords = {{Covenant Theology, Qur'an, Comparative Theology, Islamic Comparative Theology}}, publisher = {{De Gruyter}}, title = {{{Chapter 5 Covenant Theology in the Qur’an—Challenges and Insights for Comparative Theology from a Muslim Perspective}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111435695-006}}, volume = {{Volume 1}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{66052, abstract = {{This article examines the use of the Arabic term khalīfah in the Qur’an through the lens of its implicit historical-political theology.

Here, we systematically quantify the irradiance-dependent behavior of ordered mesoporous In2O3 under visible light illumination. Photoconductivity measurements reveal two distinct irradiance regimes consistent with trap-limited transport at low power and recombination- or saturation-limited transport at high power. Gas sensing experiments towards CO and H2 show a pronounced non-monotonic response, reaching maximum responses of 0.74 for 135 ppm CO at 67 mW cm−2 and 0.64 for 90 ppm H2 at 11 mW cm−2, followed by strong suppression at higher irradiance. Illumination also accelerated the response kinetics. At 60 ppm, t90 decreases from 96 to 12 s for CO and 141 to 27 s for H2, corresponding to an 8- and 5-fold faster response time, respectively. Near-ambient pressure-XPS under controlled atmosphere and density functional theory calculations indicate defect-mediated excitation. Oxygen vacancy states and illumination-induced modification of surface oxygen species govern this behavior. The results establish irradiance as a critical mechanistic parameter that determines whether In2O3 operates in a surface-controlled or bulk photoconductive regime.

Carbon nitride films deposited by magnetron sputtering exhibit growth behavior strongly influenced by plasma–surface interactions. However, nitrogen resputtering and reduced film growth rates are commonly attributed to chemical etching by positive ions. We propose an additional, unreported power-dependent mechanism involving negative ions formed at the carbon target. These ions are accelerated through the plasma sheath, reaching the substrate with high kinetic energy and inducing both chemical and physical resputtering. This effect is localized to the geometrical projection of the target, as shown by spatially resolved analysis: ellipsometry reveals thickness reduction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicate nitrogen depletion within this region.

The growing number of joining tasks requires a large number of joining elements. Friction spun joint connectors (FSJC) offer an innovative approach that meets the growing demand for flexibility. This process combines rotational movement and axial force to create targeted friction heating, enabling the production of FSJCs and the joining of various sheet metal materials. The shape of the FSJC can be optimally adapted to the joining situation in question, providing a significant advantage in terms of process chain versatility. This paper investigates FSJCs made of the steel grades C45E+C (1.1191) and 115CrV3 (1.2210), the effect of in situ quenching during the joining process. The influences of the essential parameters of rotational speed, feed rate, and FSJC length on the mechanical properties after quenching are being focused on and compared to similar conditions during joining without quenching. At the same time, the material change is analyzed to determine the effect of different alloy approaches on hardness profiles and strength characteristics in cross-tensile testing. For this purpose, systematic test series with varying process parameters are conducted and evaluated using hardness measurements and cross-tensile tests.}}, author = {{Nordieker, Ansgar Bernhard and Homberg, Werner}}, issn = {{0972-2815}}, journal = {{Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals}}, number = {{6}}, publisher = {{Springer Science and Business Media LLC}}, title = {{{Quenching During Thermomechanical Joining Using Friction Spun Joint Connectors}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s12666-026-03846-5}}, volume = {{79}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{66074, abstract = {{Abstract This study investigates how secondary students construct and evaluate decision trees in an open exploratory task using CODAP.

Focusing on the most important private firms operating in U.S. industries, we investigate whether private peer disclosure—despite differing substantially from public firm disclosure—is incorporated into analysts’ forecasts. In a cross-sectional analysis, we document lower forecast quality in industries where private peers’ disclosure intensity is low. In contrast, when private peers’ disclosure intensity is high, forecast quality does not differ from that in industries with only public peers. We find consistent results for a subsample of U.S. private peers. Consistent with this interpretation, a difference-in-differences analysis documents increased analyst forecast activity around the disclosure dates of private peers. Together, these findings indicate that analysts incorporate private peers’ information when these peers are both economically important and sufficiently transparent, and highlight that variation in private firms’ disclosure intensity generates heterogenous externalities for public firms. Overall, our evidence supports a cost-benefit trade-off in analysts’ information acquisition, and, by documenting the relevance of private peers’ information for public firms, contributes to the debate on the externalities of private firms’ disclosure transparency.}}, author = {{Beyer, Bianca and Flagmeier, Vanessa and Kosi, Urska}}, issn = {{1556-5068}}, publisher = {{TRR 266 Accounting for Transparency}}, title = {{{Private Peers’ Disclosure Transparency and Public Firms’ Information Environment}}}, doi = {{10.2139/ssrn.4438123}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{66075, abstract = {{Indefinite causal order (ICO) has the potential to be a new resource for quantum information processing.
