Learning: Operational and Educational Effectiveness Report
(2019)
Holohan, Anne
Abstract:
This deliverable outlines the development of the methodology to assess the learning through GAP by personnel from end user organizations in a training environment (Task 5.4) and the implementation of this methodology (Task 5.5-5.9) to see if the GAP intervention can generate positive movement on the continuum of each of Communication Competence, Gender Awareness and Cultural Awareness. The methodology encompassed in-game and out-game assessment, both of which will be explained and described, and the combination of which allowed for measurement of changes produced by playing the game. The in-game assessment was developed by conducting workshops with members of end users organizations in 4 different countries in the EU to establish a GAP Behavioural Anchor Ratings system (BARS), and this system was further refined by subject matter expertise workshops and workshops between TCD ADAPT and TCD Sociology.

Inter-ethnic Dialogue as a Personal and Collective Healing Process: Examples from Former Yugoslavia

Inter-ethnic Dialogue as a Personal and Collective Healing Process: Examples from Former Yugoslavia
(2005)
Cannon, Sheila
Abstract:
Civil society programmes in the former Yugoslavia that involve inter-ethnic dialogue have a greater impact on individuals, groups, and perhaps on society, when the projects engage the whole individual, intellectually and emotionally. Researching the publications and reports of hundreds of projects that involve inter-ethnic dialogue, and talking to participants in and organisers of those initiatives, one can conclude that programmes to conduct interethnic dialogue are not necessarily helpful or useful They may just scratch the surface, and not have any real impact on the participants and on society. How they are conducted is key to their success. This phenomenon is elucidated by examining experience in the field. The initiatives that contribute to an indigenous healing process, on the personal and group levels, receive better evaluations by participants, are more sustainable, and are more effective overall.

Is low iron status a risk factor for neural tube defects?
(2014)
MOLLOY, ANNE; LAIRD, EAMON
Abstract:
Background: Folic acid supplements can protect against neural tube defects (NTDs). Low folate and low vitamin B12 status may be maternal risk factors for having an NTD affected pregnancy. However, not all NTDs are preventable by having an adequate folate/ B12 status and other potentially modifiable factors may be involved. Folate and vitamin B12 status have important links to iron metabolism. Animal studies support an association between poor iron status and NTDs but human data are scarce. We examined the relevance of low iron status in a nested NTD case-control study of women within a pregnant population-based cohort. Methods: Pregnant women were recruited between 1986 and 1990, when vitamin or iron supplementation in early pregnancy was rare. Blood samples, taken at an average of 14 weeks gestation, were used to measure ferritin and hemoglobin in 64 women during an NTD affected pregnancy and 207 women with unaffected pregnancies. Results: No significant differences in matern...

Linked in by FDI: The role of firm level relationships for knowledge transfers in Africa and Asia.
(2020)
Newman, Carol
Abstract:
This study combines evidence from interviews in seven countries with (i) government institutions responsible for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), (ii) 102 multinationals (MNEs), and (iii) 226 domestic firms linked to these foreign affiliates as suppliers, customers, or competitors, to identify whether relations between MNEs and domestic firms lead to direct transfers of knowledge/technology. We first document that there are relatively few linkages between MNEs and domestic firms in sub-Saharan Africa compared with Asia. However, when linkages are present in sub-Saharan Africa they raise the likelihood of direct knowledge/ technology transfers from MNEs to domestic firms as compared to linked-in firms in Asia. Finally, we do not find that direct knowledge/technology transfers are more likely to occur through FDI than through trade. As such our results are not consistent with the view that tacit knowledge transfers are more likely to occur through localised linkages.

Maternal folate, vitamin B12 and homocysteine levels in pregnancies affected by congenital malformations other than neural tube defects.
(2011)
Molloy, Anne; Sutton, Marie
Abstract:
Background? Periconceptional use of folic acid prevents most neural tube defects (NTDs). Whether folic acid and/or multivitamins can prevent other congenital anomalies is not clear. This study tested whether maternal blood levels of folate and vitamin B12 in pregnancies affected by congenital malformations excluding NTDs are lower when compared to non-affected pregnancies. Methods? We measured pregnancy red cell folate (RCF), vitamin B12, and homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations in blood samples taken at the first antenatal clinic in Dublin maternity hospitals in 1986?1990 when vitamin supplementation was rare. The cases were mothers who delivered a baby with a congenital malformation other than NTD identified by the Dublin EUROCAT Registry; controls were a systematic sample of mothers of offspring without congenital malformations from the same hospitals in the same time period. Results? The median maternal levels of RCF and tHcy did not differ significantly between cases and controls...

Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies in Celiac Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis Identifies Fourteen Non-HLA Shared Loci.
(2011)
Mc Manus, Ross
Abstract:
Epidemiology and candidate gene studies indicate a shared genetic basis for celiac disease (CD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the extent of this sharing has not been systematically explored. Previous studies demonstrate that 6 of the established non-HLA CD and RA risk loci (out of 26 loci for each disease) are shared between both diseases. We hypothesized that there are additional shared risk alleles and that combining genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from each disease would increase power to identify these shared risk alleles. We performed a meta-analysis of two published GWAS on CD (4,533 cases and 10,750 controls) and RA (5,539 cases and 17,231 controls). After genotyping the top associated SNPs in 2,169 CD cases and 2,255 controls, and 2,845 RA cases and 4,944 controls, 8 additional SNPs demonstrated P<5?10(-8) in a combined analysis of all 50,266 samples, including four SNPs that have not been previously confirmed in either disease: rs10892279 near the DDX6 gen...

Meta-trends in Global Value Chains and Development: Interacting Impacts with COVID-19 in Africa
(2020)
Carmody, Padraig
Abstract:
How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect prospects for foreign investment and development in Africa? In part this depends on its interaction with pre-existing meta-trends in the global economy, such as the rise of China and the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution. It will also depend on the nature of revisions to political settlements in African countries arising from the pandemic. This paper explores these issues through an examination of the direct and indirect economic impacts of the pandemic and their likely interaction with continuing meta-trends in the global economy. In particular it argues that while there may still be an important role for foreign investment in African development, the crisis also creates opportunities for more domestically-focussed investment and production.

Multiple common variants for celiac disease influencing immune gene expression
(2010)
Mc Manus, Ross; Kelleher, Dermot
Abstract:
We performed a second-generation genome-wide association study of 4,533 individuals with celiac disease (cases) and 10,750 control subjects. We genotyped 113 selected SNPs with P(GWAS) < 10(-4) and 18 SNPs from 14 known loci in a further 4,918 cases and 5,684 controls. Variants from 13 new regions reached genome-wide significance (P(combined) < 5 x 10(-8)); most contain genes with immune functions (BACH2, CCR4, CD80, CIITA-SOCS1-CLEC16A, ICOSLG and ZMIZ1), with ETS1, RUNX3, THEMIS and TNFRSF14 having key roles in thymic T-cell selection. There was evidence to suggest associations for a further 13 regions. In an expression quantitative trait meta-analysis of 1,469 whole blood samples, 20 of 38 (52.6%) tested loci had celiac risk variants correlated (P < 0.0028, FDR 5%) with cis gene expression.

Multiple norovirus infections in a birth cohort in a Peruvian peri-urban community.
(2014)
WINDLE, HENRY
Abstract:
Human noroviruses are among the most common enteropathogens globally, and are a leading cause of infant diarrhea in developing countries. However, data measuring the impact of norovirus at the community level are sparse. METHODS: We followed a birth cohort of children to estimate norovirus infection and diarrhea incidence in a Peruvian community. Stool samples from diarrheal episodes and randomly selected nondiarrheal samples were tested by polymerase chain reaction for norovirus genogroup and genotype. Excretion duration and rotavirus coinfection were evaluated in a subset of episodes. RESULTS: Two hundred twenty and 189 children were followed to 1 and 2 years of age, respectively. By 1 year, 80% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75%-85%) experienced at least 1 norovirus infection and by 2 years, 71% (95% CI, 65%-77%) had at least 1 episode of norovirus-associated diarrhea. Genogroup II (GII) infections were 3 times more frequent than genogroup 1 (GI) infections. Eighteen genotypes ...

Myeloid KLF2 Regulates the Host Response to Polymicrobial Infection and Endotoxic Shock
(2011)
Mc Manus, Ross
Abstract:
Precise control of myeloid cell activation is required for optimal host defense. However, this activation process must be under exquisite control to prevent uncontrolled inflammation. Herein, we identify the Kruppel-like transcription factor 2 (KLF2) as a potent regulator of myeloid cell activation in vivo. Exposure of myeloid cells to hypoxia and/or bacterial products reduced KLF2 expression while inducing hypoxia indusable factor-1 ? (HIF-1 ? ), findings that were recapitulated in human septic patients. Myeloid KLF2 was found to be a potent inhibitor of nuclear factor- kappaB (NF ? B)-dependent HIF-1 ? transcription and, consequently, a critical determinant of outcome in models of polymicrobial infection and endotoxemia. Collectively, these observations identify KLF2 as a tonic repressor of myeloid cell activation in vivo and an essential regulator of the innate immune system

National Standards for Provision and Outcomes in Adult and Paediatric Burn Care
(2018)
Shelley, Odhran
Abstract:
The ?National Standards for Provision and Outcomes in Adult and Paediatric Burn Care? presented here are the result of a collaboration between the British Burn Association (BBA) and the burn care Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) covering England and Wales. They are based on two key documents: the 2013 National Network for Burn Care (NNBC) ?National Burn Care Standards? and the BBA ?Outcome Measures for Adult and Paediatric Services? (2nd edition) published in 2015. The NNBC was the forerunner of the Burn Care Clinical Reference Group (CRG) and thus, the 2013 National Burn Care Standards were owned by NHS England. This excellent document was due for revision in April 2015. Early in 2017, the current Major Trauma CRG chair requested that the BBA and ODNs take on the revision, framing the new version as Professional Standards produced by the burn care professions. The group convened to take on the project (the Burn Standards Review Group ? BSRG) included representatives from all ar...

Of Remedies and Poisons: Recreational Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in the Social Imagination of South African Carers.
(2010)
LARKAN, FIONA
Abstract:
During an ethnographic study of barriers to, and compliance with, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in South Africa's West Coast region, our team came across a general sense amongst healthcare providers that there was a lively illicit trade in antiretroviral medications. In itself, this is seen to be a barrier to adherence for many of their patients whose medication is traded to, or stolen by, drug dealers. Independent anecdotal evidence is emerging about this trade, though there has been little hard data verifying the existence of a recreational market for ARVs. While there are rumours that Efavirenz (some of hose side effects are hallucinogenic) is being used in the manufacture of crystal methamphetamine (locally 'tik'), such reports, in themselves, do not seem able to explain the ubiquity (and the confidence) of the belief in this trade amongst the healthcare providers with whom we have interacted. This paper explores aspects of the off-label trade of ARVs (as we ...

On the relationship between income, fertility rates and the state of democracy in society
(2016)
Hutzler, Stefan; Richmond, Peter
Abstract:
Empirical data for 145 countries shows a strong correlation between the gross national income per capita and the political form of their governance, as specified by the so-called democracy index. We interpret this relationship in analogy to phase transitions between different states of matter, using concepts of statistical physics. Fertility rates play the role of binding energy in solid state physics.

Overexpression, purification and assessment of cyclosporin binding of a family of cyclophilins and cyclophilin-like proteins of the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum
(2011)
BELL, ANGUS; MARIN MENENDEZ, ALEJANDRO
Abstract:
Malaria represents a global health, economic and social burden of enormous magnitude. Chemotherapy is at the moment a largely effective weapon against the disease, but the appearance of drug-resistant parasites is reducing the effectiveness of most drugs. Finding new drug-target candidates is one approach to the development of new drugs. The family of cyclophilins may represent a group of potential targets. They are involved in protein folding and regulation due to their peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase and/or chaperone activities. They also mediate the action of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A, which additionally has strong antimalarial activity. In the genome database of the most lethal human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum, 11 genes apparently encoding cyclophilin or cyclophilin-like proteins were found, but most of these have not yet been characterized. Previously a pET vector conferring a C-terminal His6 tag was used for recombinant expression and purificati...

Peaks and Troughs: Economics and Political Economy of Central Bank Independence Cycles
(2019)
Romelli, Davide; Masciandaro, Donato
Abstract:
This chapter investigates the endogenous evolution of central bank institutional design over the past four decades. From a theoretical perspective, it employs a stylized political economy model to highlight some key determinants of the level of central bank independence as a function of macroeconomic shocks and political economy characteristics of countries. It then employs recently developed dynamic indices of central bank design to describe the evolution of central bank independence over the period 1972?2014. In a sample of sixty-five countries, it shows that the increasing trend in central bank independence during 1972?2007 has been reversing after the 2008 financial crisis, mainly due to significant changes to the roles of central banks in banking supervision. The authors find that this evolution can be related to several macroeconomic shocks, such as inflationary, fiscal, and exchange-rate shocks.
