Abstract:
Mit „Under Eastern Eyes“ und „A Bibliography of Eastern European Travel Writing on Europe“ haben die britischen Herausgeber Wendy Bracewell und Alex Drace-Francis in zwei Bänden das beeindruckende Ergebnis eines internationalen und interdisziplinären Forschungsprojektes zur Reiseliteratur Osteuropas vorgelegt. Den Fluchtpunkt des Forschungsinteresses im vorliegenden Projekt bildeten Fragen nach der Konstruktion Europas in der Reiseliteratur und ihrer jeweiligen Indienststellung durch die Autoren. Räumlich deckt das Projekt die Länder zwischen Deutschland und Russland im Norden sowie den gesamten Balkan ab.

T Cells Regulate the Early Inflammatory Response to Bordetella pertussis Infection in the Murine Respiratory Tract
(2006)
Zachariadis, O.; Cassidy, J.P.; Brady, J.; Mahon, B.P.
Abstract:
The role of T cells in the regulation of pulmonary inflammation following Bordetella pertussis infection was investigated. Using a well-characterized murine aerosol challenge model, inflammatory events in mice with targeted disruption of the T-cell receptor -chain gene (TCR mice) were compared with those in wild-type animals. Early following challenge with B. pertussis, TCR mice exhibited greater pulmonary inflammation, as measured by intra-alveolar albumin leakage and lesion histomorphometry, yet had lower contemporaneous bacterial lung loads. The larger numbers of neutrophils and macrophages and the greater concentration of the neutrophil marker myeloperoxidase in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from TCR mice at this time suggested that differences in lung injury were mediated through increased leukocyte trafficking into infected alveoli. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis found the pattern of recruitment of natural killer (NK) and NK receptor T cells into airspaces differed bet...

The De mixtione elementorum of Thomas Aquinas

Loonan, Conleth
The De mixtione elementorum of Thomas Aquinas
(2009)
Loonan, Conleth
Abstract:
In this article Aquinas’s three accounts of how the elements combine – those of Avicenna, Averroës and Aquinas himself – are considered. An attempt is then made to reinterpret these accounts in the light of our contemporary understanding of the manner in which the modern elements behave in combination. This follows Bobik’s lead in restating Aquinas’s own account of how the Aristotelian elements combine, using present-day insights into the behaviour of the modern elements.

`It was a sorry story … now we can think in terms of planning’: The OECD Dimension of Irish Education & Science Policy Innovation, 1958-68 (NIRSA) Working Paper Series. No. 31
(2007)
Murray, Peter
Abstract:
Unsuccessful domestic attempts to raise the profile of science and technology in Irish policy debate can be traced back to the end of the 1940s. By the late 1950s a combination of Soviet space race achievement and Irish development strategy shift had created a more receptive environment internationally and nationally. Interaction with the Office for Scientific and Technical Personnel (OSTP) of the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) ended the isolation of the Irish Department of Education and the Second Programme for Economic Expansion did what OEEC experts had been urging Irish policymakers to do by integrating education into economic planning. Both in the education field and that of science and technology the bridge between a general commitment to planning and a concrete programme of action was supplied by research studies. These studies were initiated in the early 1960s by the successor body to OEEC, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OEC...

'A Parcel of Knowledge': An Autoethnographic Exploration of the Emotional Dimension of Teaching and Learning in Adult Education
(2009)
McCormack, David
Abstract:
The emotional dimension of teaching and learning from the perspective of the teacher and learner in adult education is considered in this paper by means of an autoethnographic story written as an approach to reflective practice. The genre of autoethnography allows for the personal and the autobiographical as a legitimate site for research into self and culture, in this case the culture of adult education. The space this approach opens up between writer and reader is considered to be a potential site of meaning making and reader responses are considered to this end.

'At the heart of society burns the fire of social movements': What would a Marxist theory of social movements look like?
(2005)
Cox, Laurence; Gunvald Nilsen, Alf
Abstract:
Social movement activists have their own theories of social movements, whose goals and structure often diverge radically from those of academic social movement studies. This paper explores the example of Marxism, as a theory developed outside the academy, primarily on the basis of the experience of the nineteenth-century workers' movement in Europe. If society consists of socially organised human practice, then social movements contend to direct this 'historicity', in Touraine's words: they are struggles over how society creates itself. This paper attempts to do two things. Firstly, it offers a rough-and-ready typology of how grassroots activists experience their opponents in 'social movements from above', the ways in which dominant social groups attempt to maintain or extend ways of organising human practice that sustain their power. We explore defensive and offensive movements from above, the political choices and alliances involved, and the ways in w...

'Bringing Geopolitics Back In': Exploring the Security Dimension of the 2004 Eastern Enlargement of the European Union
(2006)
O'Brennan, John
Abstract:
Notwithstanding the functional and technocratic basis of the European integration process, and the fact that the accession criteria hardly mention security issues, the 2004 eastern enlargement brought to the forefront of EU politics important geopolitical and security issues. Eastern enlargement came on to the agenda of the EU in the wake of 1989s peaceful revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe. Security and geopolitics mattered to the decision taken by the EU to embark on expansion in the early 1990s, and thereafter security issues remained prominent in enlargement debates. This article seeks to analyse the most important geopolitical issues which eastern enlargement brought to the fore. In exploring the geopolitical dimension of the eastern enlargement process the article foregrounds some key issues including: the potential power realignments in Europe triggered by enlargement, the EU relationship with Russia and its importance to the unfolding of the enlargement process, and h...

'But my subject's different': a web-based approach to supporting disciplinary lifelong learning skills
(2002)
McAvinia, Claire; Oliver, Martin
Abstract:
Many new initiatives in Higher Education institutions choose to develop web sites to support their work, not least because web-based delivery of support materials from a central unit can help to deliver development materials via a single point of access, and 'on demand'. But this presents its own difficulties in terms of the selection and structure of generic material, and in making students aware of its existence. In this paper, the problem of designing a centrally managed web site (both in terms of structure and format) that adequately supports students across the institution will be discussed, and a strategy for developing a site that meets departmental needs will be presented, together with a discussion of the impact of this approach on the role of the developer. This is illustrated within the context of supporting Key Skills. 'Key' or 'transferable' skills are now recognised as being essential for most people in work and in life. Development of the...

'Changing a Mindset' 1: From Recognition of Qualifcations Towards Embedding Ethnic Reflexivity and Translational Positionality
(2007)
Fagan, G. Honor
Abstract:
This article addresses the need for embedding a politics of diversity in the Irish third level educational system. This involves a move beyond the simple recognition and transfer of qualification agenda already addressed in state policy. It engages in a reflexive re-reading of dialogues with 'translocating' people who were attempting to access Irish third level institutions or attempting to transfer their qualifications to the Irish labour market. On the basis of this reading it addresses 'ethnic reflexivity' (the critique and reflection on our ethnic placement in the world in terms of the power it bestows on us) and 'translational positionality' (the positionality of the translocator engaged in the translation of knowledges and actions) in Irish third level accreditation, knowledge production and work practices.

'Disencumbering our crowded places': theory and practice of estate emigration schemes in mid-nineteenth century Ireland
(2004)
Duffy, Patrick J.
Abstract:
The schemes of assisted emigration which were adopted by private owners of landed estates in Ireland in the middle decades of the nineteenth century grew out of a discourse of political economy which was heavily influenced by the ideas on overpopulation of Thomas Malthus and his disciples. Many of their arguments which were rehearsed in the 1820s debates on emigration, echo through the correspondence on estate emigration in the mid nineteenth century.

'From the Russell Library…'
(2009)
Woods, Penny
Abstract:
In 1808 the following story about a Maynooth student appeared in Watty Cox’s 'Irish Magazine and monthly asylum for neglected biography': A Hungarian, who translated some of Ovid's elegies into Greek verse, travelled through these countries in 1802. He had been in both the English universities, in Edinburgh, and at the College in Dublin [TCD]; at each of which places he conversed with the cleverest men in the Greek and Roman tongues. After spending some time in Dublin College, curiosity led him to Maynooth. It was during the summer recess, and most of the professors were from home. He met a lad about twenty years of age, with whom he entered into conversation. He asked several questions concerning the internal economy of the college; and, among the rest, if there was a professor of Greek on the establishment. The young lad, indignant at the affront offered his Alma Mater, spoke to him in that language with the greatest fluency. The Hungarian was struck with wonder, a...

'Hell has many different names': The raids on St. Nazaire and Dieppe, 1942.
(2007)
Speller, Ian
Abstract:
The fall of France in June 1940 transformed Britain's strategic situation. It meant that amphibious operations, a form of warfare that had received very little priority to date, would become increasingly important. Such operations provided the only means of returning Allied armies to mainland Europe. As a result the British adopted two parallel and complementary approaches to amphibious warfare. In the long run the most important of these was the development of the equipment and techniques that would be required to conduct major landings against sophisticated opposition in Europe. The culmination of this remarkable process was seen on the beaches of Normandy on 6 June 1944 when over two thousand landing ships and landing craft, supported by seven battleships, 23 cruisers, 80 fleet destroyers and hundreds of smaller naval vessels, successfully landed 132,200 Allied troops by sea despite intense German opposition. The other approach, most evident in the period up to and includin...

'Not Worth Going to See': The Place of Ireland in Samuel Johnson's Imagination
(2001)
Brunstrom, Conrad
Abstract:
It should be stated at the outset that this is a frankly polemical paper. It may ultimately mean no more than a plea to Irish readers to read Samuel Johnson more sympathetically and more often; bearing in mind that there is a need to treat Johnson's famous "opinions" in their full rhetorical context and to question their relative importance alongside the material that Johnson actually published. It is true that Johnson wrote very little directly about Ireland, but it is important to stress that his broad principles are of interest to anyone studying Ireland in the eighteenth century. Indeed, as the most eloquent anti-imperialist writer writing in English at this time, he has almost automatic claims on an Irish readership.

'People, Synod and Upper Room: Vatican II's Ecclesiology of Communion'
(2006)
Leahy, Brendan
Abstract:
In defining the Church as "the People of God", the Second Vatican Council proposed an ecclesiology of communion as necessary for the renewal of the ecclesial fabric in order to present the true face of the triune God of Love. This ecclesiology is advancing in theological reflection, magisterial teaching and, not least, in new forms of ecclesial praxis. This article reviews how its reception requires the promotion of a "culture of synodality" but that in itself is not sufficient. The article goes on to propose how it is important to be attentive to the spirituality of communion and deeper awareness of the Church's charismatic/prophetic profile.

'The Bourgeoisie, Historically, Has Played a Most Revolutionary Part': Understanding Social Movements From above
(2006)
Cox, Laurence; Gunvald Nilsen, Alf
Abstract:
'From castles and palaces and churches to prisons and workhouses and schools; from weapons of war to a controlled press', Raymond Williams writes, 'any ruling class, in variable ways though always materially, produces a social and political order'. This productive activity constitutes the essence of what can be referred to as social movements from above. This paper explores social movements from above as the organization of multiple forms of skilled activity around a rationality expressed and organized by dominant social groups, which aims at the maintenance or modification of a dominant structure of entrenched needs and capacities in ways that reproduce and/or extend the power of those groups and its hegemonic position within a given social formation. Starting from a theoretical conception of social structure as the sediment of struggle between social movements from above and those from below, the paper discusses the relevance of a conception of social movemen...

Abstract:
The four National University of Ireland Universities have offered a diploma in rural development to adults experienced in, or concerned about rural development since 1996. The diploma initiative arose from a government report on the needs for education and training for the development of rural areas. The universities acted upon the Creedon Report (1993) and offered a 60 credit two-year distance learning diploma in 11 separate themed modules. Over 400 people have completed this diploma since 1996 and have gone on to impact on their local communities, develop careers, develop enterprises, and impact on rural development policy. By 2004 the universities were able to launch a follow on degree. This degree completed by distance learning in two years, (following the diploma), has graduated almost 80 people in the last four years. This paper draws on research completed by two graduates of this degree. These graduates, with support from a summer research programme within NUI Maynooth, soug...

‘And bright was the flame of their friendship’ (Empedocles B130): humans, animals, justice, and friendship, in Lucretius and Empedocles
(2008)
Campbell, Gordon
Abstract:
This paper argues that Lucretius exploits a significant doctrinal overlap between his two most important influences, Empedocles and Epicurus, in his account of the domestication of animals. Like Empedocles (although for different reasons), the Epicureans were vegetarians; like him, they regarded friendship as the basis for society. Empedocles argued that in the golden age there existed a naturally occurring state of friendship between humans and animals. Although Epicurus and his followers disagreed with this theory, there are Epicurean sources that strongly suggest that they themselves thought of the first societies as being founded on friendship pacts made between both humans and animals.
