description: At a time when the term 'property porn' makes its way onto the pages of the newest dictionaries ('a genre of escapist TV programmes, magazine features etc, showing desirable properties for sale, especially those in idyllic locations, or in need of renovation, or both'; Collins Dictionary 2005 edition), we thought it would be fun to look at some of the most lurid examples of real estate advertising we have encountered. Taken from the pages of New Zealand's Property Press, they make their UK equivalents with their restrained descriptions of 'solid 1930's semis' and 'convenient townhouses' look like very half-hearted attempts at persuasion. Our commentator is Dr Martin Andrew, who has taught Renaissance Literature and Early Cinema at the Universities of Auckland and Otago and now teaches on the BA in English and Cultural Studies at Unitec, New Zealand, where his research interest is discourse analysis. This trilogy of interests come together in his commentary, making for an original and entertaining take on these adverts.

description: Ni recovery from serpentine soils by phytomining has proved feasible. Phytomining involves the crop of hyperaccumulating plants with high Ni contents and the valorization of Ni by pyro or hydrometallurgical process. In order to evaluate the Ni content of different plants, we analyzed the organs of 14 hyperaccumulators from three genera: Alyssum, Leptoplax and Bornmuellera. The highest concentration was recorded in the leaves of Leptoplax (34.3 ± 0.7 mg g−1DM). Additionally, we investigated biomass combustion which is the first step of the process we designed to obtain a nickel salt. We showed that temperature and duration were important parameters to ensure a good quality of ashes. At the bench scale, the best conditions were 550°C and 3 h. In this way, we obtained ashes in which Ni could reach 20 wt%. Biomass ashes can be considered as a bio-ore for recovering metal value.

Characterization of anti-enteroviral activity of heparan sulphate mimetic compounds
Creators: name: Pourianfar, Hamid Reza
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection remains a public health problem at a global level, particularly in the Asia-pacific region. The infection normally manifests as hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD); however, it is capable of developing into potentially fatal neurological complications. There is currently no approved vaccine or antiviral substance available for prevention or treatment of EV71 infection. There has been no research undertaken to examine the possible antiviral activity of heparan sulphate (HS) mimetics against the Human Enterovirus A (HEV-A), in particular EV71. Therefore, this PhD research began with the aim of investigating the antiviral potencies of HS mimetics against EV71 infection. Initially, a colorimetric-based method was developed for the titration of EV71 strains, whereby the viral titre was quantified more precisely. Three soluble HS mimetics including heparin (Hep), HS, and pentosan polysulphate (PPS) were then shown to substantially inhibit a cloned strain of EV71 from infecting in Vero cells. Further investigations revealed that the compounds most likely exerted their antiviral action through interference with the EV71 attachment. The role of cell surface HS in mediating viral infection was then studied for several clinical isolates of HEV-A and HEV-B in Vero cells as well as a human neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-SH. The findings revealed that the clinical isolate of EV71 utilizes low sulphated domains of cellular HS to bind to Vero cells, in contrast to Coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4), Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), and the cloned EV71. In the neural cells, Hep and PPS significantly prevented both clinical EV71 and clinical CVA16 binding and infections, although it could not be confirmed whether the viruses utilize cellular HS to bind to the cells. Finally, an Affymetrix DNA microarray was performed to gain insight into the mechanisms of action of Hep against the clinical EV71 infection in the neural cells. The results showed many genes with significant down- or up-regulation across the undermentioned conditions: negative control cells, compound control (cells treated with Hep only), virus control (cells treated with virus only), and treatment control (EV71-infected cells treated with Hep). Several genes were finally found to be targets for the anti-EV71 activity of Hep in SK-N-SH cells using a strict multi-level selection procedure. In parallel, the results revealed the significant induction of more than 1000 genes by EV71 infection with expression fold changes ranged from +46.5 to -10.7. The findings of this research may suggest new directions for studies of designing molecular drug targets against EV71 infection.

description: ABSTRACTEnvironmental risk analysts need to draw from a clear typology of uncertainties when qualifying risk estimates and/or significance statements about risk. However, categorizations of uncertainty within existing typologies are largely overlapping, contradictory, and subjective, and many typologies are not designed with environmental risk assessments (ERAs) in mind. In an attempt to rectify these issues, this research provides a new categorization of uncertainties based, for the first time, on the appraisal of a large subset of ERAs, namely 171 peer-reviewed environmental weight-of-evidence assessments. Using this dataset, a defensible typology consisting of seven types of uncertainty (data, language, system, extrapolation, variability, model, and decision) and 20 related sub-types is developed. Relationships between uncertainties and the techniques used to manage them are also identified and statistically evaluated. A highly preferred uncertainty management option is to take no action when faced with uncertainty, although where techniques are applied they are commensurate with the uncertainty in question. Key observations are applied in the form of guidance for dealing with uncertainty, demonstrated through ERAs of genetically modified higher plants in the European Union. The presented typology and accompanying guidance will have positive implications for the identification, prioritization, and management of uncertainty during risk characterization.
Outdoor Propagation Pathloss Model for UMTS Networks using Feedforward Backpropagation Neural Network: Case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

description: The ubiquity nature of mobile networks, growth in technology, and innovations in mobile services will attract more users with the growing expectation and satisfaction. To accommodate the increasing number of users', operators are investing more in infrastructure and service delivery. In order to get the right revenue with the appropriate investment, the network planning and optimization work has to be done properly. In this regard, propagation pathloss is one of the main inputs for the planning and optimization and it has to be predicted as accurate as possible. Prediction of the propagation pathloss can be done using different models. These models are deterministic, empirical, and statistical models. From these models, the empirical pathloss models, such as, COST-231, ECC-33, Stanford University Interim (SUI) are more commonly used. Different environments own different model and accuracy. These models have got different accuracy and they are modeled for different environment. When they are applied for the environment other than the area they are modeled for, they lose their accuracy. Hence, searching for a better prediction model is essential. To this end, neural network-based model is one of the better solutions to empirical and deterministic models for predicting the propagation pathloss. The dataset is collected from measurements through a drive-test and from low level design documents. Then, it is preprocessed before used in order to train and evaluate the network. The performance evaluation is done with metrics, such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and Regression coefficient (R). The result of the tthesis shows that the neural network-based model has improved the pathloss by 6.2 dBm, 4.85%, 8.98 dBm, 0.44 and 0.53. The achieved result for the empirical models considering values of MAE, MAPE, RMSE, R and R are 10.57 dBm, 8.34%, 14.36 dBm, 0.38 and 0.14 respectively. On the other hand, the proposed approach achieved a value of 4,37 dBm, 3.49%, 5.38 dBm, 0.82 and 0.67 using the test dataset. To this end, the neural network-based model best fits the pathloss for the Addis Ababa city realistic case scenario.

Customer Perception and Responsiveness Behavior Study on Bulk SMS Advertisements for Target Customer Identification: The case of Ethio Telecom
Creators: name: Samuel, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020

description: Bulk-messaging, one of the technologies carried by the telecom industry, is a process of sending a large number of messages to many people at once. It is likely a more economical and effective way of marketing media as compared to others. Therefore, many companies are using this service for advertisement. Since it is most likely flooding without customers' consent, it can be one of the services that affect customers' responsiveness behavior. Studying customers' preferences prior to sending a message will help to overcome resource dissipation due to messaging and reduces customers' offensiveness. The aim of this thesis is to identify factors that affect customers' responsiveness attitude and classify customers based on the level of responses, towards bulkmessaging advertisements in the case of Ethio Telecom customers. In this thesis, two different types of data were used i.e. data collected in-person via questionnaire and a Call Detail Records (CDR) data. Among 620 distributed questionnaires 528 were replied. Moreover, a CDR data of 29 ,506 messages got responses among 419 ,249 delivered messages. A statistical mean method and data mining techniques were used to classify a survey and CDR data respectively. As a finding, all scale factors do have a significant influence on the responsiveness behavior of customers towards bulk-messaging except informativeness and relevancy. Furthermore, customers were classified into three levels i.e. a high-level, medium level, and low-level responsive customers with percentage responses of 16 %, 44 %, and 40 % of the total respectively. Additionally, an entertaining type of advertisement has got more responses than others. The experiment result of both data set shows a good level of agreement. Finally, the thesis recommended that all senders should give attention to care for customers' preferences towards any promoting services.

description: Photosystem II (PSII) is subject to light-induced damage and continuously undergoes repair to restore the damaged photosystems. During repair of PSII, the Psb27 protein interacts with the CP43 subunit of PSII. Two Psb27-like proteins (Psb27-H1 and Psb27-H2) are involved in the repair of PSII in the higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we present evidence that duplication and divergence of Psb27 occurred in the green algal lineage and that the Psb27-H2 protein shares c. 30% sequence identity with Psb27-H1. Structural modelling of Arabidopsis thaliana Psb27-H1 and Psb27-H2 indicate that the two proteins have different distributions of surface charge. We suggest that the green algal lineage Psb27-H2 protein occupies a different binding niche than does Psb27-H1.

description: This study was undertaken to isolate and quantify azafrin in Alectra parasitica (Scrophulariaceae) rhizomes. A simple method for the isolation of carotenoid, azafrin, involves solvent extraction of the dried rhizome powder using a single solvent and further purification by recrystallisation. The structure of the compound was elucidated and confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. A specific and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the analysis of azafrin. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, linearity and specificity. Validation revealed that the method is specific, accurate, precise, reliable and reproducible. The proposed HPLC method can be used for the identification and quantitative analysis of azafrin in A. parasitica rhizomes.

description: Medical data treated in this project are cancer-patients’ data from the area of south-east Europe. The SEEIIST project’s main goal is the construction of a research center for the treatment of cancer with hadron therapy, i.e., heavy ion therapy, in Southeast Europe. A special component of the project is an education and training platform for young scientists, researchers, technicians, doctors, biologists, biomedical engineers, and others that will contribute to the improvement of the entire region in terms of technological progress, medical innovation, scientific achievements, industrial empowerment, and economic benefits. One of the disciplines that will be studied and applied within this project is the field of artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning. The aim of the project is to lay the foundations for building an intelligent system that would unify data of all oncology centers from Southeast Europe, and thus create a homogeneous data set that could be used in machine learning, whether it is prediction by classification or regression, supervised or unsupervised method, for eventually selecting patients that would benefit from heavy ion therapy.
 Since the data are collected from 10 countries in Southeast Europe, each of which has its own way of collecting and storing data, this makes the data very heterogeneous, and for the data to be used for any further analysis, first, degree of similarity must be established and only then, can the necessary work on data homogenization be started.
 Main purpose of the project is a creation of Large-scale privacy-preserving data analysis platforms for medical research applications. For the purpose of privacy-preserving data analysis, the Federated Learning model has been adopted as the machine learning technique of choice. Federated learning (FL) is an emerging technique that aims to tackle a challenge of analyzing private or sensitive data, by keeping data private, at source, while sharing only outcomes (models). Separate information systems perform machine learning on their own data, and send their generated models to a centralized server (aggregator), where they are averaged or aggregated to obtain a single, combined model that will be redistributed to all members of the federation. For this purpose it will be necessary to provide access to the Aggregator, i.e. a dedicated machine (node) that will have to be configured to communicate with all other members of federation through protected communication channels. Several connection types should be provided, as data on the separate machines could be kept in different formats (.csv file, database view, etc.), while the aggregated model should be re-sent through a dedicated canal as standardized output.
VCLP Reform Program and its impact on global venture capital investment in Australia
Creators: name: Rahman, Sheikh F.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In 2002, Australian Federal Government adopted the Venture Capital Limited Partnership (VCLP) legislation and formalized the establishment of Venture Capital Limited Partnerships and Australian Fund of Funds (AFOFs). These investment vehicles are preferred flow-through mechanisms that offer significant tax exemptions and ensure capital gains and losses flow straight to the end investors, rather than to the fund managers. This change brings Australian venture capital industry in line with the structures used in most other countries. Both AVCAL (Australian Venture Capital Association) and the Federal government claimed that this is a major reform package and should immediately attract many international investors, such as, foreign pension funds, fund of funds, university foundations and other endowment funds. This paper critically examines the key features of the reform package and its implications for Australian VC industry. The analyses suggest that while the reform package looks quite encouraging from outside, its actual impact seems to be significantly compromised in the details.
Effect of terminal aryl rings of liquid crystal trimers on liquid crystalline properties

description: Liquid crystalline properties of five series of biphenyl derivatives connected with p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl, 9-phenathryl and bromo as the terminal groups via flexible spacers were studied. All the compounds exhibited nematic phase. The nematic–isotropic or isotropic–nematic transition properties resulted in an odd–even effect as the length of the spacers was varied, in which the even members exhibited higher values, for the compounds with p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl and 9-phenanthryl groups, while the transitional properties of the compounds substituted with bromo atom as the terminal group instead of the aryl groups did not show such odd–even effect. These results suggest that the aryl rings, such as p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl and 9-phenanthryl groups, play a role of mesogen while the terminal bromo atom does not. The effect of the terminal aryl rings on the liquid crystalline properties will be reported.

description: A series of pyridine-coupled benzimidazolium-based receptors 1, 2 and 3 have been designed and synthesised. In the series, only receptor 1 is structurally appealing in the selective recognition of H2PO4−  in CHCl3 as well as in CH3CN over a series of other anions. The ratiometric change in emission with a triplet band at 420 nm is the distinctive feature of selective recognition of H2PO4−  in CHCl3. In CH3CN, a ‘turn on’ response is selectively observed. Binding studies have been carried out using fluorescence, UV–vis, 1H NMR and 31P NMR spectroscopic techniques. Experimental results have been correlated with the theoretical findings.

description: In this investigation, we aim to study, for the first time, the effect of the growing area on tocopherols, carotenoids and fatty acid content of Pistacia lentiscus fixed oil. Fruits were harvested from eight different sites located in the north and the centre of Tunisia. Tocopherols, carotenoids and fatty acid content of the fixed oils were determined. The highest carotenoid content was exhibited by Feija oil (10.57 mg/kg of oil). Oueslatia and Tabarka oils displayed the highest α-tocopherol content (96.79 and 92.79 mg/kg of oil, respectively). Three major fatty acids were determined: oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids. Oleic acid was the main fatty acid presenting more than 50% of the total fatty acid content. Kebouche oil presented the highest oleic acid content (55.66%). All these results highlight the richness of carotenoids, tocopherols and unsaturated fatty acids in P. lentiscus seed oil and underscore the nutritional value of this natural product.

description: Saponin composition of the roots of Eryngium planum L. was investigated. Triterpene saponins found in E. planum and also present in Eryngium maritimum were different from those described previously in Eryngium campestre L. Three primary saponins were isolated and their tentative identifications, based on the electrospray MS/MS fragmentation patterns, were subsequently confirmed by 1D and 2D NMR analyses. Their structures were established as 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-21-O-acetyl-22-O-angeloyl-R1-barrigenol (1) and 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-angeloyl-A1-barrigenol (2) and 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-angeloyl-R1-barrigenol (3). Concentrations of the newly identified compounds in aerial parts and roots of both species were estimated using the liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method.

description: The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers on-board in response to $\sim$ 40 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) per year; however, their large localization regions have made the search for optical counterparts a challenging endeavour. We have developed and executed an extensive program with the wide field of view of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) camera, mounted on the Palomar 48 inch Oschin telescope (P48), to perform target-of-opportunity (ToO) observations on 10 Fermi-GBM SGRBs during 2018 and 2020-2021. Bridging the large sky areas with small field of view optical telescopes in order to track the evolution of potential candidates, we look for the elusive SGRB afterglows and kilonovae (KNe) associated with these high-energy events. No counterpart has yet been found, even though more than 10 ground based telescopes, part of the Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) network, have taken part in these efforts. The candidate selection procedure and the follow-up strategy have shown that ZTF is an efficient instrument for searching for poorly localized SGRBs, retrieving a reasonable number of candidates to follow-up and showing promising capabilities as the community approaches the multi-messenger era. Based on the median limiting magnitude of ZTF, our searches would have been able to retrieve a GW170817-like event up to $\sim$ 200 Mpc and SGRB afterglows to z = 0.16 or 0.4, depending on the assumed underlying energy model. Future ToOs will expand the horizon to z = 0.2 and 0.7 respectively.

Fast gleichzeitig hat das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus das bundesweit erste Landesantidiskriminierungsgesetz verabschiedet. DORIS LIEBSCHER von der Humboldt Law Clinic für Grund- und Menschenrechte hat den Gesetzgebungsprozess des LADG über viele Jahre wissenschaftlich begleitet. Was Deutschland von den USA unterscheidet, was institutioneller Rassismus ist, was das LADG regelt und was alles in der hitzigen Diskussion rund um dessen Verabschiedung durcheinander geraten ist, bespricht sie im heutigen Podcast mit Charlotte Heppner.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

An investigation into the decision to communicate CSR initiatives
Creators: name: Nicholson, Lorrae
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The concern over climate change and the resultant focus on reducing waste, water and energy use has led to new and innovative product, recycling and sustainability solutions within many markets. It has also created a plethora of television programmes, websites, newspaper and magazine articles and increased parliamentary debate which has served to raise public awareness of the issues to be faced. And yet, even given the opportunities provided by the increased coverage of these topics in mainstream media channels, there appears to have been very little increase in communications for companies that produce these products or engage in CSR initiatives. In contrast to the majority of literature regarding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communications, this investigation was concerned with CSR marketing communications rather than CSR reporting. This study is timely given: i) the increased awareness of environmental issues and the resultant focus on reducing waste, water and energy use; ii) the media discourse, public and parliamentary debate regarding climate change and corporate collapses, and; iii) the increased scrutiny of business practices and corporate governance by both regulatory authorities and members of the general public. It would appear that the aforementioned concerns might create an appropriate environment in which corporations that engage in CSR may spruik their initiatives. This investigation aims to explore the reasons behind organisations’ CSR communication decisions in an effort to identify the possible barriers and facilitators to CSR communications. To this end, semi-structured interviews with Marketing and CSR Managers from five large organisations were conducted. Information gathered during the interviews indicated that whilst all of the participating organisations engaged in different and varied methods of CSR communication, only two of the organisations engaged in mass communication (television advertising) of their CSR initiatives. The data collected during these interviews also revealed seven barriers and three facilitators to CSR communications. However, it is important to note that two of those seven barriers (industry practices and timing), were also identified as facilitators to CSR communications. Finally, as is consistent with current knowledge, the third facilitator to CSR communications (integration of CSR within the organisational culture) was found to be important to both the success of CSR programmes and their associated communications.
Isolation and HPLC method development of azafrin from Alectra parasitica var. chitrakutensis

description: This study was undertaken to isolate and quantify azafrin in Alectra parasitica (Scrophulariaceae) rhizomes. A simple method for the isolation of carotenoid, azafrin, involves solvent extraction of the dried rhizome powder using a single solvent and further purification by recrystallisation. The structure of the compound was elucidated and confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. A specific and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the analysis of azafrin. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, linearity and specificity. Validation revealed that the method is specific, accurate, precise, reliable and reproducible. The proposed HPLC method can be used for the identification and quantitative analysis of azafrin in A. parasitica rhizomes.
Effect of terminal aryl rings of liquid crystal trimers on liquid crystalline properties

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis

Subjects: Uncategorised

description: Liquid crystalline properties of five series of biphenyl derivatives connected with p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl, 9-phenathryl and bromo as the terminal groups via flexible spacers were studied. All the compounds exhibited nematic phase. The nematic–isotropic or isotropic–nematic transition properties resulted in an odd–even effect as the length of the spacers was varied, in which the even members exhibited higher values, for the compounds with p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl and 9-phenanthryl groups, while the transitional properties of the compounds substituted with bromo atom as the terminal group instead of the aryl groups did not show such odd–even effect. These results suggest that the aryl rings, such as p-nitrophenyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl and 9-phenanthryl groups, play a role of mesogen while the terminal bromo atom does not. The effect of the terminal aryl rings on the liquid crystalline properties will be reported.

Probing the past: ideas for a web-based learning resource about the White Australia policy
Creators: name: Neumann, Klaus
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Only public servants involved in formulating and administering current government policy, and historians, used to access government archives. Until recently, such archives had primarily a curatorial role: that of safeguarding written records related to the formulation and administration of government policy. This focus is still reflected in the legislation governing Australia’s federal archives. According to the Archives Act 1983, nine of the twelve functions of the National Archives of Australia (NAA) are concerned with the collection, preservation and disposal of government records. But today, the NAA is directing many of its resources towards a function that only in the last twenty-five years or so has been added to the catalogue of key tasks government archives are expected to perform, namely the encouragement, facilitation, publicising and sponsoring of the use of archival material (see Section 5(2)(h), Archives Act 1983).

description: "The most likely development I think we can expect will be the coexistence of two (…) “legal worlds”. On the one hand, an inter-State law brutally regulating political relations between human groups whitewashed by nationalism; on the other hand, a transnational or “a-national” law regulating economic relations between private as well as public interests. There are, I believe, two obvious victims (…) of this foreseeable evolution: the human being on the one hand, the certainty and effectiveness of the rule of law itself on the other hand.”

description: "The reactionary backlash against everything international is the result of a status lost (...). It’s occasioned by developments in the West since the 1960’s, but peaking in the liberal hubris in the 1990s. The sharp end of the attack has been directed to a global expert culture that is seen as utterly hypocritical in two ways: it presents one part of its opinions as scientific or technical truths and another part of its opinions as human rights."

description: "We have reached a point where States, in fact, are not any more willing to commit in a drastic manner. States are more and more challenging these commitments and when they do commit they emphasize their political nature. But on the other hand, we also have an international community composed of non-State actors who want States to do more, or the international community to do more. So shouldn’t we think about another way of doing it internationally?"

description: The European Court of Human Rights and associated Convention has long been considered one of the crown jewels of European integration. A common court and code for more than 800 million Europeans, the Court was in the post-Cold War period key to the democratization of Europe. Recent years have however seen a growing critique of the Court, both in new and old member states. Split into two parts, this presentation outlines first the how the Court became the de facto supreme court of human rights in Europe and, secondly, how it has come under repeated attack countries as different as the United Kingdom and Russia. It finishes with the most recent transformations, notably the Copenhagen Declaration adopted earlier this year.
