  • Considering a Future in Syria and the Protection of the Right to Culture
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW BEYOND THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA: CONSIDERING A FUTURE IN SYRIA AND THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO CULTURE SARAH DÁVILA-RUHAAK ABSTRACT Although the right to culture has been widely recognized under international human rights, its reach and practical application has been limited in cultural preservation efforts. Individuals and communities that attempt to be part of the decision-making process in preservation efforts often face barriers to access in that process. The need to re-conceptualize the right to culture is vital for its protection and preservation. This article proposes that the right to self-determination must be utilized as a core fundamental principle that enables a disenfranchised individual or community to have ownership in preservation efforts and decide how to shape their identity. It further illustrates how incorporating the “ownership” element of the right to self- determination will strengthen the application of the right to culture in preservation efforts. The article utilizes the destruction of Syrian cultural heritage to discuss the need for further protections under international human rights law. Because Syrian cultural heritage is in peril, it is imperative that the right to culture of Syrians is strengthened for the survival of their culture and identity. Syrian cultural heritage must be preserved by the Syrians and for the Syrians, thus allowing them to directly shape who they are as a people.

  • Tobacco Pack Display in New Zealand After the Introduction of Standardised Packaging
    Now we see them, now we don’t: Tobacco pack display in New Zealand after the introduction of standardised packaging Fourth Year Medical Student Project by Group A2 Kirsty Sutherland, Johanna Nee-Nee, Rebecca Holland, Miriam Wilson, Samuel Ackland, Claudia Bocock, Abbey Cartmell, Jack Earp, Christina Grove, Charlotte Hewson, Will Jefferies, Lucy Keefe, Jamie Lockyer, Saloni Patel, Miguel Quintans, Michael Robbie, Lauren Teape, Jess Yang June 2018 Abstract Introduction In March 2018, Government started a transition to a standardised packaging policy, to help reduce the prevalence of smoking and the heavy burden it has on health and health inequalities in New Zealand. The aims of our study were: (i) to contribute to the evaluation of the impact of standardised tobacco packaging in NZ by repeating a previous published study on smoking and tobacco packaging display at outdoor areas of Wellington hospitality venues; (ii) contextualising this intervention for Māori health and reducing health inequalities; (iii) assessing the prevalence of vaping at these same venues and (iv) assessing the prevalence of smoking and vaping while walking at selected locations. Methods The methods followed a very similar study conducted in 2014 for largely the same venues. The field work for this study was conducted from 16 May to 27 May 2018. Observations of smokers, vapers and tobacco packs were made at 56 hospitality venues in central Wellington, along three main boulevards; Cuba Street, Courtenay Place and the Waterfront. Observation data were systematically collected and recorded on a standardised form. Results A total of 8191 patrons, 1113 active smokers, 114 active vapers and 889 visible packs were observed during 2422 venue observations.

  • Where Do Youth Smokers Get Their Cigarettes?
    WHERE DO YOUTH SMOKERS GET THEIR CIGARETTES? According to the 2020 Monitoring the Future Survey, nearly two out of every five (38.1%) eighth graders and about half (50.4%) of tenth graders say cigarettes are easy for them to get.1 Where and how youth smokers get their cigarettes, however, can vary considerably from state to state or city to city, depending on factors such as whether the jurisdiction strictly enforces the laws prohibiting tobacco sales to minors or requires retailers to keep all tobacco products behind the counter. Some youth smokers buy the cigarettes they smoke, either directly from retailers or other kids, or by giving money to others to buy for them. Others get their cigarettes for free from social sources (usually other kids), and still others obtain their cigarettes by shoplifting or stealing. Nationwide, older youth smokers are more likely to buy their cigarettes directly than younger smokers, who are more likely to get their cigarettes from others or by stealing.2 Some of this difference is because kids who look older typically find it easier to buy cigarettes than younger kids; but another powerful factor is that older youth smokers are more likely to be regular smokers, and regular smokers are much more likely to purchase their own cigarettes than kids who smoke less frequently or are only "experimenting."3 Not surprisingly, older or regular youth smokers who buy their own cigarettes also supply them to kids who do not purchase their own but instead rely on getting them from others.4 Direct Purchases of Cigarettes

  • The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlementin Egypt
    Pýý.ý577 THE IMPACT OF THE ARAB CONQUEST ON LATE ROMAN SETTLEMENTIN EGYPT VOLUME I: TEXT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge, March 2002 ALISON GASCOIGNE DARWIN COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE For my parents with love and thanks Abstract The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlement in Egypt Alison Gascoigne, Darwin College The Arab conquest of Egypt in 642 AD affected the development of Egyptian towns in various ways. The actual military struggle, the subsequent settling of Arab tribes and changes in administration are discussed in chapter 1, with reference to specific sites and using local archaeological sequences. Chapter 2 assesseswhether our understanding of the archaeological record of the seventh century is detailed enough to allow the accurate dating of settlement changes. The site of Zawyet al-Sultan in Middle Egypt was apparently abandoned and partly burned around the time of the Arab conquest. Analysis of surface remains at this site confirmed the difficulty of accurately dating this event on the basis of current information. Chapters3 and 4 analysethe effect of two mechanismsof Arab colonisation on Egyptian towns. First, an investigation of the occupationby soldiers of threatened frontier towns (ribats) is based on the site of Tinnis. Examination of the archaeological remains indicates a significant expansion of Tinnis in the eighth and ninth centuries, which is confirmed by references in the historical sources to building programmes funded by the central government. Second, the practice of murtaba ` al- jund, the seasonal exploitation of the town and its hinterland for the grazing of animals by specific tribal groups is examined with reference to Kharibta in the western Delta.
