'Ionadaiocht i bparlaimint na hEireann ag deireadh na mean-aoise' [Representation in the Irish Parliament in the late middle ages]
(1991)
Ellis, Steven G.
Abstract:
Firm evidence about the level of attendance in the late medieval Irish parliament is particularly scarce. Yet it is generally assumed that parliaments were sparsely attended because the control of the Dublin administration over outlying parts of the lordship was so weak. The document published here relates to the two sessions of parliament held before the deputy-lieutenant, Gerald Fitzgerald, 8th earl of Kildare, in 1499, and comprises a list of fines imposed on members of the three houses of parliament for absence without licence and on others who failed to return writs of summons. Analysis of the list shows that in this particular parliament at least representation extended well beyond the English Pale and a few outlying towns to include most of the late medieval lordship.

'The UN "Beijing Platform for Action" 1995-2005: Local Global Political Spaces, NGO Advocacy, and Governmental Responses in the Republic of Ireland',
(2005)
Reilly, Niamh
Abstract:
Introduction September 2005 marks the tenth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing 1995) and the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) by 189 governments, including Ireland. From February 28th to March 11th, 2005, Irish governmental and non-governmental organisation (NGO) delegations attended a meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York, which aimed to carry out a 'review and appraisal' of implementation of the BPFA. At this timely juncture, this report reviews the domestic impact in the Republic of Ireland -- with a focus on NGO activism and governmental responses -- of the Fourth World Conference on Women (FWCW) and subsequent BPFA implementation monitoring processes. I start with a brief overview of the 'Beijing to Beijing-Plus-Ten' path in global perspective. I then highlight key developments in NGO and governmental engagement with the BPFA and its review processes in Ireland. In doing ...

'They can't wipe us out, they can't lick us. We'll go on forever pa, because we're the people' - Misrepresenting death in Jim Sheridan's In America (2003)
(2008)
Crosson, Seán
Abstract:
This paper will examine the recurring theme of death in Jim Sheridan¿s work, with particular focus on his 2003 film In America. This theme also links Sheridan¿s work to one of his favourite directors, John Ford, whose work In America alludes to. While exploring the theme of death in Sheridan¿s films, and how it connects with the work of Ford, this paper will consider responses to In America, the first film to be (partly) shot in New York after the attack on the twin towers, in light of the tragedy of 9/11. It raises questions about the problematic positioning of this film by Sheridan and others not just with respect to the events of that day but also in relation to the 1981 hunger strikes in Northern Ireland. Furthermore, it questions the regressive politics involved in the depiction of the central black character in In America, Mateo, particularly as it relates to this theme of death.

"...it's all the same no matter how much fruit or vegetables or fresh air we get": traveller women's perceptions of illness causation and health inequalities.
(2006)
Hodgins, Margaret M.; Millar, Michelle; Barry, Margaret M.
Abstract:
This paper explores the perceptions of illness causation and health inequalities of Travellers, an ethnic minority group who experience considerable social and health disadvantages in Ireland. In order to allow for subjective meanings to emerge, a qualitative methodology with purposive sampling was employed. Participants in the study were invited to respond to a vignette in a focus group setting. Forty-one Traveller women were recruited to the focus groups through community projects or adult education initiatives. The study not only illustrates the complexity of lay perceptions of ill-health and health inequalities, but raises important questions about the prevalence of depression and of domestic violence in the Travelling community. These Traveller women were very willing to discuss the structural factors that contributed to their health status, attributing ill-health to social and environmental factors, such as accommodation, hardship and discrimination. Further, they broadly reje...

"Calling passengers" - an ethical problem in the design of self-service websites amongst low-cost airlines in Ireland.
(2007)
Barry, Chris; Torres, Ann M.
Abstract:
Ethics on the Internet has been a widely debated topic in recent years covering issues that range from privacy to security to fraud. Little, however, has been written on more subtle ethical questions such as the exploitation of Web technologies to inhibit or avoid customer service. Increasingly, it would appear, some firms are using Websites to create distance between them and their customer base in specific areas of their operations, while simultaneously developing excellence in sales transaction completion via self-service. This paper takes a magnifying glass with an ethical lens to just one sector ¿ the low-cost, Web-based selfservice airline industry, specifically in Ireland. The paper notes the teaching of information systems development (ISD) and, for the most part, its practice assumes ethicality. Similarly, marketing courses focus on satisfying customer needs more effectively and efficiently within the confines of an acceptable ethos. This paper observes that while these bus...

"Pee-in-a-Pot": acceptability and uptake of on-site chlamydia screening in a student population in the Republic of Ireland
(2010)
Vaughan, Deirdre; Cormican, Martin; O'Donovan, Diarmuid
Abstract:
Background:The aim of the study was to explore the acceptability and uptake of on-campus screening using a youth friendly approach in two Third Level higher education institutions (HEIs). This study is part of wider research exploring the optimal setting for chlamydia screening in Ireland. Methods:Male and female students were given the opportunity to take a free anonymous test for chlamydia during a one week programme of "pee-in-a-pot" days at two HEI campuses in the West of Ireland. The study was set up after extensive consultation with the two HEIs and advertised on the two campuses using a variety of media in the two weeks preceding the screening days. Screening involved the provision and distribution of testing packs at communal areas and in toilet facilities. In Ireland, chlamydia notifications are highest amongst 20-29 year olds and hence the screening criterion was aimed at 18-29 year olds. Urine samples were tested using a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). F...

"Proper provision" and "Property Division": Partnership in Irish matrimonial property law in the wake of T v. T.
(2004)
Buckley, Lucy Ann
Abstract:
The issue of how best to regulate matrimonial property is a vexed and recurring one in Irish law. This is not only due to the necessarily conflicting interests that must be resolved: how best to provide for spouses and children in a fair and just manner, out of (usually) quite limited resources, while respecting the rights of third parties such as new partners and creditors, is not easy to determine. Much of our answer depends on our approach to marriage itself, as how we view the marital relationship impacts directly on the system of property regulation we adopt. This may seem trite, yet the view Irish law takes of marriage, let alone of matrimonial property, is far from clear. Current law appears to demonstrate conflicting understandings and values at different stages of the marital relationship, leading to a complex and inconsistent approach to the issue of marital property. In particular, the apparently contradictory views of partnership or sharing principles within the marital ...

(Still) Up to no Good: Reconfiguring the boundaries of worker resistance and misbehaviour in an increasingly non-union world
(2010)
Dundon, Tony; Vanden Broek, Diane
Abstract:
There has been significant development in the way industrial conflict and worker resistance has been analysed over the past fifteen years. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of traditional forms of employee resistance, others have highlighted the diversity and range of more informal employee behaviours. As indicated below, there have been a range reasons for both the decline in formal resistance and in approaches to how resistance is viewed. However, a common tendency has been to overlook the role of institutional and industrial context. The following research into unorganised workers identifies the importance of institutional factors in reassessing assumed boundaries between formal (and often collective) indicators of conflict, and more informal instances of workplace misbehaviour.

2LIP: Filling the Gap between the Current and the Three-Dimensional Web
(2009)
Jankowski, Jacek; Decker, Stefan
Abstract:
In this article we present a novel approach, the 2-Layer Interface Paradigm (2LIP), for designing simple yet interactive 3D web applications, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of the narrative structure of hypertext. The hyper-text information, together with graphics, and multimedia, is presented semi-transparently on the foreground layer. It overlays the 3D representation of the information displayed in the background f the interface. Hyperlinks are used for navigation in the 3D scenes(in both layers).We introduce a reference implementation of 2LIP: Copernicus - The Virtual 3D Encyclopedia, which can become a model for building 3D Wikipedia. Based on the evaluation of Copernicus we show that designing web interfaces according to 2LIP provides users with a better experience during browsing the Web, has a positive effect on the visual and associative memory, improves spatial cognition of presented information, and increases overall user's satisf...

Abstract:
We demonstrate one of the potential paths of the evolution of wiki engines towards Web 3.0. We introduce 3dWiki - the 3D wiki engine, which was built according to 2-Layer Interface Paradigm (2LIP). It was developed for use by Copernicus, our vision of a 3D encyclopedia. In the demonstration: We give an overview of 2-Layer Interface Paradigm, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of narrative structure of hypertext. We describe step by step how to create an article for Copernicus: from creating models for the 3D background, through authoring the content, creating the c-links, to publishing the result in our encyclopedia. We show how to use a physics engine in our wiki.

A Balancing Act: Managing the global-local dimensions of industrial clusters through the mechanism of 'lead' organisations
(2008)
Giblin, Majella
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate 'leading' organisations in a region to understand how the balance between the global and local dimensions can be managed by clusters. Two cases of industrial clusters are employed to examine how certain organisations can occupy a 'lead' position and how - if at all - such organisations generate an agglomerative effect in a cluster, given that firms engage in extra-local inter-organisational linkages in order to remain competitive. The study shows that when large firms enact a leading role by influencing the technology trajectory of the region and stimulating the local dynamic they can generate agglomerative effects thereby enhancing the relevance and sustainability of clusters. Most significantly, it shows how leading organisations act as an important facilitator in connecting the global and local dimensions of clusters even in the absence of extensive formal local linkages. While the study substantiates previous resear...

A border baron and the Tudor state: the rise and fall of Lord Dacre of the North
(1992)
Ellis, Steven G.
Abstract:
Crown policy towards the nobles and the rule of the provinces under the early Tudors reflected the values and social structures of 'civil society' in lowland England. Using as a case-study the Dacres, a minor peerage family who were wardens of the Anglo-Scottish marches, this paper explores the strains and tensions which were created by the application of these norms to the 'peripheral¿ parts of the Tudor state. The paper outlines the political ambitions, resources, and estate-management policies of a border baron, and argues that Henry VIII's policies for the rule of the borders and his expectations of his officials there were unrealistic. It also suggests that the traditional approach of historians to the problems of Tudor politics and government reflects too much a view of events as seen from 'the centre' and needs to be balanced by a more sensitive treatment...

A case study of risk management in agile systems development
(2009)
Coyle, Sharon; Conboy, Kieran
Abstract:
A principal objective of agile development methods is to reduce risk thereby resulting in more successful and effective information systems. However, while there is an extensive body of academic literature on risk management, very little research has attempted to rigorously apply this as a lens to study risk management in agile development projects. The purpose of this research was to ascertain the extent to which risk management practices are incorporated into agile development projects. A case study was conducted involving a change management consultancy firm whose main business involved the deployment of agile approaches. The study found that while there is a perception that risk management practices are not carried out in agile environments, the extent to which risk management is conducted on these projects is in some cases just as substantial to that carried out on traditional projects. In fact, in this case it appeared that the teams were more rigorous in their risk management...

A choice experiment versus a contingent valuation approach to agri-environmental policy valuation

A choice experiment versus a contingent valuation approach to agri-environmental policy valuation
(2011)
Hynes, Stephen; Campbell, Danny; Howley, Peter
Abstract:
The non-market value accruing from an agri-environmental scheme can be examined by assessing the public's willingness to pay for the policy outputs as a whole or by modelling the preferences of society for the component attributes of the rural landscape that result from the implementation of the policy. In this paper we examine if the welfare impacts from implementing an agri-environmental policy are significantly different if one uses a holistic valuation methodology such as contingent valuation or an attribute based valuation methodology such as choice experiments. It is argued that the valuation methodology chosen should be based on whether or not the overall objective is the valuation of the agri-environment policy package in its entirety or the valuation of each of the policy's distinct environmental outputs.

A Click And Bricks Strategy For eGovernment
(2004)
Scott, Murray; Hughes, Martin; Golden, William
Abstract:
Two of the central challenges of e-government are the need for "joined-up" government through agency collaboration, and the need to provide "citizen-centred" government, where services and information are integrated at the point of delivery. Electronic service delivery provides the hoped for panacea to enable not only administrative efficiencies in the functions of government, but also services that are centred on the needs of the citizen. The implementation of e-government however, presents challenges regarding the achievement of inter-agency collaboration and highlights the importance of developing multiple access channels. This paper reports from an in-depth case study detailing first, the strategy the Irish government adopted for electronic service delivery and second, provides detailed analysis from the pioneering efforts of an individual county council into agency collaboration and a unique method of service provision.

Abstract:
Background: A key strategy in improving care for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the provision of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes. Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes have been successful in improving patients' sense of dyspnoea and Health Related Quality of Life. However, the effectiveness of structured education pulmonary rehabilitation programmes delivered at the level of the general practice on the health status of people with COPD remains uncertain and there is a need for a robust and fair assessment of this. The PRINCE study will evaluate the effectiveness of a Structured Education Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme (SEPRP), delivered at the level of the general practice, on the health status of people with COPD. Methods/Design: The PRINCE Trial is a two-armed, single blind cluster randomised trial conducted in the primary care setting in Ireland. Randomisation to control and intervention is at the level of the General Practice. Participant...

A coevolving systems approach to the organization of agile software development.
(2009)
Wang, Xiaofeng; Vidgen, Richard
Abstract:
Despite the popularity of agile methods in software development and increasing adoption by organizations there is debate about what agility is and how it is achieved. The debate suffers from a lack of understanding of agile concepts and how agile software development is practised. This paper develops a framework for the organization of agile software development that identifies enablers and inhibitors of agility and the emergent capabilities of agile teams. The work is grounded in complex adaptive systems (CAS) and draws on three principles of coevolving systems: match coevolutionary change rate, maximise self-organizing, and synchronize exploitation and exploration. These principles are used to study the processes of two software development teams, one a team using eXtreme Programming (XP) and the other a team using a more traditional, waterfall-based development cycle. From the cases a framework for the organisation of agile software development is developed. Time pacing, self-man...

A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(2009)
Bacivarov, Ioana; Ionita, Mircea C.; Corcoran, Peter
Abstract:
A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin colour. In order to perform accurately, AAM requires a strong initialization point. In our approach, key information is firstly extracted using chrominance analysis. Then optimal parameters of the model are determined using AAM fitting procedure. A detailed description of our model and its corresponding fitting algorithm are given and preliminary results on different databases are summarised.

Abstract:
As multimedia information systems begin to infiltrate organizations, there arises a need to capture and disseminate knowledge about how to develop them. Little is thus far known about the realities of multimedia systems development practice, or about how the development of multimedia systems compares to that of ¿traditional¿ information systems. Herein are discussed the findings of a survey of multimedia developers in Ireland. Practitioners generally agree that systematic approaches are desirable in order to beneficially add structure to development processes, but they are predominantly using their own in-house methods rather than those prescribed in the literature.
