The document discusses the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and its provisions regarding access to information and communications technologies for persons with disabilities, including relay services. It notes that while many countries have ratified the UNCRPD, they do not all provide a full range of relay services as required. Campaigning by deaf organizations has helped improve access in some countries, but utilizing the UNCRPD's complaint procedure could help enforce compliance, though high costs may prevent its use so far.

David Rose's presentation at the UKCoD Conference on Nov 3rd. Conference theme was focused on looking at the need for modernising current telecom relay services for deaf people.
Relay services in UK – the consumer perspective
This document discusses telecommunication relay services (TRS) available in the United States and United Kingdom for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. It notes that the US has a wider range of sophisticated TRS options funded through an independent relay fund, while the UK has more limited services and lack of long-term, stable funding. It promotes the Deaf Access to Alternative Relay Telecommunications campaign which aims to expand TRS in the UK to provide full functional equivalence and access to modern technologies on par with services available in the US.
Book Launch: Deaf Citizenship
The document summarizes the presentation of research findings on group rights by Dr. Steven D. Emery. It discusses the paradox that Deaf communities are considered under disability law rather than as linguistic minorities, neglecting their potential collective rights. The research explored this issue through meetings with Deaf participants. It identified five potential group rights for Deaf people, including use of sign language in education. The document proposes that Deaf communities may benefit from boards led by Deaf people to promote and protect their language and culture, rather than relying on states or existing frameworks. It aims to further explore this issue through publications, conferences and online to promote social justice for Deaf communities.

Developing Gender Sensitive Local Services
Developing gender-sensitive local services most important outcome of events such as this is the exchange they enable between participants from different countries. Clearly, we all share an agenda in the areas of social inclusion and service provision. Issues of quality, gender sensitivity, and accessibility are as challenging for people in the UK as they are for people in Africa, Asia and Central and Latin America.
We share concerns about the affordability and appropriateness of services – who pays for services, what user fees are acceptable, who delivers the services – and about accountability, principally the accountability of officials and elected representatives to citizens. Finally – and importantly – we want to identify approaches which could be useful to the European Union and the British government in their development co-operation programmes and policies. Alongside the set of shared agendas outlined above is another agenda which is equally important for this seminar. In 1995 the UK and the European Union, alongside most other countries in the world, signed agreements at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the World Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen.
This year they have reiterated their commitment by signing agreements at the follow-up conferences, ‘Beijing + 5’ and ‘Copenhagen + 5’. Fundamental to these international agreements is gender equality and the commitment to women’s rights as human rights. The international community has also committed itself to certain international development targets which stem from the series of UN conferences that took place in the 1990s. One of those targets poses a challenge: to halve the incidence of poverty by 2015.
The UK and the European Union have very good gender policies in their development co-operation. Yet, as we all know, there are still huge inequalities in access to, and control over, services such as water, health care, education, sanitation, transport, roads, justice, and housing. In such a context it is difficult to see how women, men and children can enjoy and exercise their full human rights when they are denied access to some of the most basic essential services.
Universal Periodic Review Tutorial
The document provides information about the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process conducted by the United Nations Human Rights Council. It summarizes that the UPR allows the human rights records of all UN member states to be reviewed. States have the opportunity to report on improvements and address human rights challenges. Non-governmental organizations can submit reports to be considered in a country's review. The review process occurs over three sessions per year, with multiple countries examined at each session.
UNSA-SMU info session

It provides information on the UN's establishment and objectives of maintaining peace and promoting human rights. It also describes upcoming Model UN training sessions and conferences for students to gain experience in public speaking, debate, and learning about the UN. Community service projects are mentioned including fundraising for flood relief in Pakistan and events to raise awareness of issues like sex trafficking.

Rights of indigenous peoples handbook for parliamentarians
This document is a handbook for parliamentarians on implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It provides an overview of why indigenous peoples' rights are important for parliamentarians to consider, who indigenous peoples are, and what their key rights are according to international standards. The handbook also discusses the concept of free, prior and informed consent and its importance. It aims to be a practical tool for parliamentarians to strengthen their understanding and implementation of indigenous peoples' rights.
Human Trafficking Tier
Human trafficking is defined as exploiting people through coercion or deception for forced labor or sexual exploitation. Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women and children, are trafficked worldwide and in the U.S. each year. While many countries and organizations have made efforts to combat trafficking through laws and services for victims, trafficking remains one of the largest criminal industries and more coordination of advocacy and services is still needed.

What can be known about french community radio audience ?
Community radio (CR), which is known in France as “radio associative” and previously “free radio” or “pirate radio”, is “non-profit, open to or accountable to the community that they serve and mainly staffed by volunteers” . So it has to be distinguished from French commercial CR even if it shares some common features. And it constitutes an important, dynamic and highly diverse part of the world’s media landscape.

United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership (UNIPP) Delivering as One UN a...
UNIPP: A global partnership for indigenous peoples’ rights Indigenous and tribal peoples constitute at least 5,000 distinct peoples with a population of more than 370 million, living in 70 different countries. They are part of the overall contribution of all peoples’ to the diversity and richness of the world. Yet there is an urgent need to respect, promote and protect their inherent collective and individual rights that derive from their social, economic, cultural and political institutions, traditions and knowledge.
UNIPP is the first global partnership established by the United Nations to promote the rights of indigenous peoples at the country lev-el. UNIPP brings together the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UN Development Program (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in a partner-ship with indigenous peoples, governments and other stakeholders to facilitate implementation of international standards on indigenous peoples, in particular the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the ILO Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (ILO Convention No. 169).
The Partnership underscores the significant place of indigenous peoples as rights holders under international human rights law. UNIPP seeks to facilitate the implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples, taking as a cornerstone the right to participate in decision-makinng, state duty to consult and the principle of free, prior and informed consent. © Survival International-Dongria Kondh, Orissa, India
Indigenous peoples’ rights: An issue of social justice “Indigenous people make an enormous contribution to our world, including through their spiritual relationship with the Earth. By helping indigenous peoples regain their rights, we will also protect our shared environment for the benefit of all.” UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon © UN Photo-Alon Reininger
UNIPP promotes the rights of indigenous peoples through the fol-lowing key guiding principles:
• Ownership and coherence with the principles of indigenous peoples’ self-determination, consultation, participation and free, prior and informed consent.
• Gender equality and special consideration to indigenous children and youth as appropriate.
• Partnerships founded on equality, trust, inclusion and mutual ac-countability of governments, UN agencies and indigenous peoples.
• Integration of human rights in development processes and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples.
• The “Delivering as One” approach, improving the effectiveness and impact of the United Nations Development System at the country level, and promoting greater coherence of the UNDS activities in support of national priorities.
• Special attention to indigenous peoples having no access to other capacity development measures and support frameworks.
The Unbearable Lightness of Media Ownership Transparency
The Unbearable Lightness of Media Ownership TransparencyCentre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom
This document discusses the importance of transparency in media ownership for democracy. It argues that mandatory reporting requirements are needed to identify the beneficial and ultimate owners of media outlets. Such requirements should apply to broadcast, print, and online media and collect basic information on ownership structure, financial accounts, and interests in other organizations. Media regulators should collect this information and make it publicly available to ensure transparency and prevent undue concentration of media ownership and political influence. Adopting clear rules and standards on ownership transparency is crucial to guarantee media pluralism.GAATES-toolkit_INDICATORS_ACCESSIBILITY.pdf
This document provides a toolkit for identifying key indicators of accessibility and universal design. It summarizes reporting obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and defines universal design. The toolkit analyzed 19 country reports to identify over 110 key indicators across topics like universal design, legislation, transportation, education, and housing. The indicators aim to help evaluate programs and monitor progress in implementing the CRPD. The document provides context on using indicators and discusses developing indicators that consider social context.

The document discusses the campaign for a new Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that would establish an individual complaints procedure. It notes that widespread child rights violations, lack of adequate national remedies, and protection gaps require a new international mechanism. The proposed Optional Protocol would allow alleged child rights violations to be examined by experts and would provide an international remedy and jurisprudence. It outlines the process for creating a new Optional Protocol and next steps, which include adoption by the UN Human Rights Council and General Assembly in 2011 and ratification by states in 2012. It encourages readers to support adoption of the final draft and get involved in advocacy efforts.

1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance
