Ramblado, Cinta
Abstract:
Al estudiar la literatura que se centra en la representación de la guerra civil, de la posguerra, la reconstrucción de la memoria a través de la ficción, tanto el escritor como el crítico, ambos, y por extensión también lectores, no deben olvidar las otras circunstancias que rodean al texto, que no solamente es un producto literario sino que además está determinado e influenciado por otras variables culturales, sociales, históricas, etc. El presente estudio ofrece una exploración de la aparición y desarrollo de la literatura de la memoria (con algunas referencias también al cine), haciendo una reflexión sobre la conexión entre dicha tendencia y el contexto socio-político en el que se desarrolla. Asimismo, se presenta el análisis de una serie de manifestaciones literarias en las que es posible identificar claramente la dinámica de representación en que la ficción entra en contacto con la historia. Con todo ello, este trabajo intenta ofrecer un examen crítico del significado de dichas...

'I'm not going to be able to leave'; The impact of belonging to the Irish farming community on university students' life experiences and transitions to adulthood
(2014)
Cassidy, Anne
Abstract:
Despite extensive research into family farming culture little attention has been paid to young people raised in this community who do not become full-time farmers. This thesis explores the childhood experiences of university students who grew up in Irish farming families and its impact on their movement into adulthood. It concentrates on their relationship with the farm and the local, rural and farming communities this is situated within. This study focuses on the impact belonging to these institutions has had and continues to have on the lives and choices of farm youth as they build a life potentially leading away from their cultural and familial background. It examines the processes underpinning their transition to adulthood and the role of structural boundaries such as parental strategies, cultural norms and gendered frameworks in the direction of their life, their identity and affiliations. The concept of belonging is unpacked and the nuances, norms and attitudes grounding this ...

Abstract:
Cognitive impairments are common in MS and affect personal, social, and occupational functioning. There is a developing body of evidence highlighting the role of cognitive rehabilitation, but there is still no evidence for a validated holistic approach. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Occupation-Based Programme for People with Multiple Sclerosis (COB-MS) for improving daily life and cognitive impairment. This study used an experimental pretest/posttest design with eight-week follow-up. Participants were recruited from MS networks using convenience sampling. The primary outcome measure was the GAS. Secondary outcomes included the OSA-DLS, CVLT-II, BVMT-R, SDMT, TMT, BRIEF-A, and EMQ-R. Twelve participants were recruited, aged 39-73 years (mean: 55.08; SD: 9.61). There were statistically significant improvements in the GAS (p

Allen, Andrew P.; Curran, Eileen A.; Duggan, Áine; Cryan, John F.; Ní Chorcoráin, Aoife; Dinan, Timothy G.; Molloy, D. William; Kearney, Patricia M.; Clarke, Gerard
Abstract:
As the physiological impact of chronic stress is difficult to study in humans, naturalistic stressors are invaluable sources of information in this area. This review systematically evaluates the research literature examining biomarkers of chronic stress, including neurocognition, in informal dementia caregivers. We identified 151 papers for inclusion in the final review, including papers examining differences between caregivers and controls as well as interventions aimed at counteracting the biological burden of chronic caregiving stress. Results indicate that cortisol was increased in caregivers in a majority of studies examining this biomarker. There was mixed evidence for differences in epinephrine, norepinephrine and other cardiovascular markers. There was a high level of heterogeneity in immune system measures. Caregivers performed more poorly on attention and executive functioning tests. There was mixed evidence for memory performance. Interventions to reduce stress improved c...

Acting is believing: ritual, memory, and performance in the plays of Enda Walsh
(2016)
Barre, Nelson
Abstract:
In this research, I examine the relationship between ritual, memory, and performance and contemporary theatrical creation methods, specifically with reference to the works of Enda Walsh. I use Walsh's plays as a case study to discuss the various realities and forms of world-making in theatre and performance. These analyses all interconnect and demonstrate the ways in which performers enact personal and communal rituals of belief, re-member versions of the past, and embody performed reality. My dissertation also includes production information and analysis to explore the ways in which these related themes appear not only in theoretical but practical applications.

Age-related task sensitivity of frontal EEG entropy during encoding predicts retrieval

Abstract:
Journal article
Age-related declines in memory may be due in part to changes in the complexity of neural activity in the aging brain. Electrophysiological entropy provides an accessible measure of the complexity of ongoing neural activity. In the current study, we calculated the permutation entropy of the electroencephalogram (EEG) during encoding of relevant (to be learned) and irrelevant (to be ignored) stimuli by younger adults, older adults, and older cognitively declined adults. EEG entropy was differentially sensitive to task requirements across groups, with younger and older controls exhibiting greater control of encoding-related activity than older declined participants. Task sensitivity of frontal EEG during encoding predicted later retrieval, in line with previous evidence that cognitive decline is associated with reduced ability to self-initiate encoding-related processes.

An immersive VR game to ascertain pattern recall in virtual reality
(2019)
Murphy, David; O'Mahony, Billy
Abstract:
Virtual Reality is a rapidly growing form of media, with uses in entertainment, industry and education. By generating a real-time feedback loop based on a user’s emotional state we can tailor experiences in such a way that it maintains the user’s engagement, ensuring they learn more in an educational system, or play longer in a gaming scenario. Biosensors can be used to acquire physiological data from the user in real time, this data can then be used to determine the user’s current emotional state. To determine whether creating such a feedback loop is viable in Virtual Reality we developed a simple pattern replication game for the Oculus Rift which uses two biosensor devices to read three different biosignals. We conducted a study with 53 total participants. We present some preliminary findings and a plan for the next phase of the study.

Associative Enhancement of Time Correlated Response to Heterogeneous Stimuli in a Neuromorphic Nanowire Device
(2016)
Boland, John; Donegan, John
Abstract:
In spite of the strong interest in brain?like or neuromorphic computation, relatively few devices have emerged whose neuromorphic behavior is embedded in the hardware itself and not reliant on external programming of synaptic weights. Here, a neuromorphic device is described based on a TiO2 nanowire that exhibits an associative memory response to the time correlation between voltage and optical stimuli. Memristive characteristics are also observed with current?voltage sweeps showing hysteresis loops and continuum resistance levels. The nanowire device responds to heterogeneous voltage and optical pulse stimuli with spike?like neuromorphic outputs. Moreover, uncorrelated pulses produce a weak response, consistent with the interaction of coincident pulses with adsorbed and bulk oxygen in the surface depletion region, leading to a nonlinear enhancement in conductance. The strength of this learned enhancement depends on both the time correlation and the number of pulse stimuli, consiste...

Atypical behavioural effects of lorazepam: Clues to the design of novel therapies?
(2011)
Elliott, Mark
Abstract:
Aside from their pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. their speed of action and the duration of residual effects, benzodiazepines are still considered as equivalent in terms of their effects on cognition. Here we review evidence suggesting that certain benzodiazepines, especially lorazepam, differ in a number of respects, in particular with respect to their effects on cognition. We focus this review on memory, attention and visual perception, where impairments may be brought about by only a subset of benzodiazepines in spite of their administration at doses inducing similar sedative effects. This precludes an explanation in terms of sedation. Differences in the effects of benzodiazepines have also been found in electrophysiological and animal behavioural studies. These studies are important for therapeutic approaches for two reasons: first, effects of benzodiazepine prescription on cognitive functions will differ according to the benzodiazepine, contrary to what is usually believed.

Autobiographical memory, the ageing brain and mechanisms of psychological interventions
(2018)
Allen, Andrew P; Doyle, Caoilainn; Commins, Sean; Roche, Richard A.P.
Abstract:
Elucidating the impact of healthy cognitive ageing and dementia on autobiographical memory (AM) may help deepen our theoretical understanding of memory and underlying neural changes. The distinction between episodic and semantic autobiographical memory is particularly informative in this regard. Psychological interventions, particularly those involving reminiscence or music, have led to differential effects on episodic and semantic autobiographical memory. We propose that executive function is a key mediator of psychological therapies on autobiographical memory. We also highlight that interventions that alleviate stress and improve mood, including in major depression, can enhance autobiographical memory. Future research employing more longitudinal approaches and examining moderating factors such as gender and education level will deepen our understanding of changes in AM in later life, enhance our theoretical understanding of the neuroscience of AM and ageing, and help to develop be...

Abstract:
Background: Predicting the progression of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is important for treatment selection and patient counseling. Structural MRI markers such as hippocampus or basal forebrain volumes might represent useful instruments for the prediction of cognitive decline. The primary objective was to determine the predictive value of hippocampus and basal forebrain volumes for global and domain specific cognitive decline in AD dementia during cholinergic treatment. Methods: We used MRI and cognitive data from 124 patients with the clinical diagnosis of AD dementia, derived from the ADNI-1 cohort, who were on standard of care cholinesterase inhibitor treatment during a follow-up period between 0.4 and 3.1 years. We used linear mixed effects models with cognitive function as outcome to assess the main effects as well as two-way interactions between baseline volumes and time controlling for age, sex, and total intracranial volume. This model accounts for ind...

Abstract:
The current study examined the EEG of young, old and old declined adults performing a visual paired associate task. In order to examine the eVects of encoding context and stimulus repetition, target pairs were presented on either detailed or white backgrounds and were repeatedly presented during both early and late phases of encoding. Results indicated an increase in P300 amplitude in the right parietal cortex from early to late stages of encoding in older declined adults, whereas both younger adults and older controls showed a reduction in P300 amplitude in this same area from early to late phase encoding. In the right hemisphere, stimuli encoded with a white background had larger P300 amplitudes than stimuli presented with a detailed background; however, in the left hemisphere, in the later stages of encoding, stimuli presented with a detailed background had larger amplitudes than stimuli presented with a white background. Behaviourally, there was better memory for congruent stimu...

Bismuth self-limiting growth of ultrathin BiFeO3 films

Abstract:
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is a widely studied material, because of its interesting multiferroic properties. Bismuth self-limiting growth of single-phase BiFeO3 (BFO) has previously been achieved using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), but the growth of BFO by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has proved to be very challenging, because of the volatile nature of bismuth. The growth window regarding temperature, pressure, and precursor flow rates that will give a pure perovskite BFO phase is normally very small. In this work, we have studied the metal–organic CVD (MOCVD) growth of epitaxial BFO thin films on SrTiO3 substrates and found that by carefully controlling the amount of the iron precursor, Fe(thd)3 (where thd = 2,2,6,6 tetra-methyl-3,5-heptanedionate), we were able to achieve bismuth self-liming growth, for the first time. The effect of the volume of the bismuth and iron precursors injected on the growth of BFO thin films is reported, and it has been found that the phase-pure films c...

Abstract:
A two color Fabry-Perot laser subjected to optical injection in both modes is examined experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis predicts a bistability between locked states due to a swallow-tail bifurcation, which is unique to the dual injection system. This bistability is confirmed experimentally and used as the basis for an all optical memory element with switching times below 500 ps. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract:
A combined transmission electron microscopy-scanning tunneling microscopy (TEM-STM) technique has been used to investigate the force interactions of silicon and germanium nanowires with gold electrodes. The I(V) data obtained typically show linear behavior between the gold electrode and silicon nanowires at all contact points, whereas the linearity of I(V) curves obtained for germanium nanowires were dependent on the point of contact. Bistable silicon and germanium nanowire-based nanoelectromechanical programmable read-only memory (NEMPROM) devices were demonstrated by TEM-STM. These nonvolatile NEMPROM devices have switching potentials as low as 1 V and are highly stable making them ideal candidates for low-leakage electronic devices.

Born this way: Hippocampal neurogenesis across the lifespan
(2019)
Kozareva, Danka A.; Cryan, John F.; Nolan, Yvonne M.
Abstract:
The capability of the mammalian brain to generate new neurons through the lifespan has gained much attention for the promise of new therapeutic possibilities especially for the aging brain. One of the brain regions that maintains a neurogenesis-permissive environment is the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Here, new neurons are generated from a pool of multipotent neural progenitor cells to become fully functional neurons that are integrated into the brain circuitry. A growing body of evidence points to the fact that neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus is necessary for certain memory processes, and in mood regulation, while alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis have been associated with a myriad of neurological and psychiatric disorders. More recently, evidence has come to light that new neurons may differ in their vulnerability to environmental and disease-related influences depending on the time during the life course at which they are exposed. Thus, it has been the topic of ...

Breaking the silence - questions of staying and going in 1950s Ireland
(2002)
Gray, Breda
Abstract:
This article discusses issues of migration, history, memory and Irish society as they relate to a project based on life narratives at the Irish Centre for Migration Studies, University College Cork. The project, entitled Breaking the Silence – staying ‘at home’ in an emigrant society digitally recorded the life narratives of Irish women and men who stayed in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century and used new technologies to publish those with appropriate copyright in Real Audio format on the Internet. These life narratives offer important insights into how the experience of emigration in Ireland during the 1950s has been incorporated into the rapid social change of the latter half of the twentieth century. Initial themes emerging from analysis of six narratives are discussed in this article.
