Marriage, Split Residency, and the Separation Wall in Jerusalem

Israeli policies deny Palestinian Jerusalemites with blue identification cards, who live in either J1 (the part of East Jerusalem annexed and incorporated into the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem after the 1967 War) or J2 (populous Palestinian localities in eastern and northern Jerusalem that were excluded from the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem), their fundamental residency rights to adequate housing and freedom of movement and their rights to health, work, education, and family life. These policies include the plethora of (Israeli) legislative measures aimed at displacing Palestinians from within Jerusalem municipality boundaries by revoking these Palestinians’ residency rights in the cit

Syria’s Stateless Palestinians

In 1948, Syria received one hundred thousand Palestinian refugees denied their right to return to their homes and lands in Palestine – a right asserted by UN General Assembly Resolution 194. Over the subsequent decades, Syria facilitated their integration into the country. On the eve of the Syrian war, the community of Palestinian refugees in Syria was half a million strong. It is estimated that at least one in every five Palestinians has fled the country already, with the overwhelming majority arriving in Europe as refugees yet again. What can the Palestinians’ statelessness and repeated devastation of their communities tell us about human rights law and related international legal regimes that regulate the protection of refugees and displaced persons? When do refugees become recognized as refugees, and when does their status afford them protection? Under what circumstances are Palestinian rights, especially the right of return, recognized and supported, what enabled Israel to ignore their claims, and what impact will the continued displacement of communities have on the fight for the Palestinian cause? The participants will bring their unique expertise and diverse disciplinary background to discuss the current displacements of Palestinian refugees.

Detection of Methane Eructation Peaks in Dairy Cows at a Robotic Milking Station Using Signal Processing

SIMPLE SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to investigate the use of signal processing to detect eructation peaks in methane (CH(4)) released by dairy cows during robotic milking using three gas analysers. This study showed that signal processing can be used to detect CH(4) eructations and extract spot measurements from individual cows whilst being milked. There was a reasonable correlation between the gas analysers studied. Measurement of eructations using a signal processing approach can provide a repeatable and accurate measurement of enteric CH(4) emissions from cows with different gas analysers. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of signal processing to detect eructation peaks in CH(4) released by cows during robotic milking, and to compare recordings from three gas analysers (Guardian SP and NG, and IRMAX) differing in volume of air sampled and response time. To allow comparison of gas analysers using the signal processing approach, CH(4) in air (parts per million) was measured by each analyser at the same time and continuously every second from the feed bin of a robotic milking station. Peak analysis software was used to extract maximum CH(4) amplitude (ppm) from the concentration signal during each milking. A total of 5512 CH(4) spot measurements were recorded from 65 cows during three consecutive sampling periods. Data were analysed with a linear mixed model including analyser × period, parity, and days in milk as fixed effects, and cow ID as a random effect. In period one, air sampling volume and recorded CH(4) concentration were the same for all analysers. In periods two and three, air sampling volume was increased for IRMAX, resulting in higher CH(4) concentrations recorded by IRMAX and lower concentrations recorded by Guardian SP (p < 0.001), particularly in period three, but no change in average concentrations measured by Guardian NG across periods. Measurements by Guardian SP and IRMAX had the highest correlation; Guardian SP and NG produced similar repeatability and detected more variation among cows compared with IRMAX. The findings show that signal processing can provide a reliable and accurate means to detect CH(4) eructations from animals when using different gas analysers
