"cba to check the spelling" investigating parser performance on discussion forum posts
(2010)
Foster, Jennifer
Abstract:
We evaluate the Berkeley parser on text from an online discussion forum. We evaluate the parser output with and without gold tokens and spellings (using Sparseval and Parseval), and we compile a list of problematic phenomena for this domain. The Parseval f-score for a small development set is 77.56. This increases to 80.27 when we apply a set of simple transformations to the input sentences and to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) training sections.

"Defining Job Titles and Career Paths in BIM"
(2015)
Mathews, Malachy
Abstract:
<p>Ireland is undergoing a digital transformation. Some industries particularly in the areas of travel and retail have been radically transformed. However many industries are facing their biggest challenge in their existence already weakened by the economic crisis and constrained by their legacy business, it will be difficult for them to adapt and embrace the new rules dictated by digital change. Irelands design and construction industry is on the cusp of a digital transformation with early adopters now deriving some benefits from a move to a building information modeling (BIM) process. Digital transformation cannot happen unless there are personnel with the right skillsets to tackle the new methods of working. This move opens new dynamics into which domain specific skillsets supported by BIM technologies often overlap. New skillsets emerge while traditional ones submerge. One of those skillsets that has emerged is in the creation and management of building information through...

"I’m Eating a Sandwich in Glasgow": Modeling locations with tweets
(2011)
Kinsella, Sheila; Murdock, Vanessa; OHare, Neil
Abstract:
Social media such as Twitter generate large quantities of data about what a person is thinking and doing in a partic- ular location. We leverage this data to build models of locations to improve our understanding of a user’s geographic context. Understanding the user’s geographic context can in turn enable a variety of services that allow us to present information, recommend businesses and services, and place advertisements that are relevant at a hyper-local level. In this paper we create language models of locations using coordinates extracted from geotagged Twitter data. We model locations at varying levels of granularity, from the zip code to the country level. We measure the accuracy of these models by the degree to which we can predict the location of an individual tweet, and further by the accuracy with which we can predict the location of a user. We find that we can meet the performance of the industry standard tool for pre- dicting both the tweet and the user at the country,...

"Listen and click": Enhancing Listening Comprehension Skills in the Language Classroom through the Use of Clickers
(2012)
Hascoet, Valerie
Abstract:
<p>The following article relates to an experiment with a group of second year students learning an applied language as a minor subject of their degree. Personal Response Devices were introduced to improve the students’ listening skills by creating more engagement with the course material. It led to 100% participation in class activities run through clickers, facilitated the students in self-evaluating their performance at the tasks and was fun, despite some technical issues occasionally. The experiment fell short however on the reflective aspect. Students were either incapable of or unwilling to reflect on the questions they found difficult. The lecturer was left with improved performances in listening assignments, but no usable feedback on how to support her students in transferring those improved skills to the related area of speaking performance.</p>

"Nonsense?" - ICT perceived by the elderly
(2012)
Halonen, Raija
Abstract:
This paper describes a feasibility study of ICT and social media as perceived by elderly people. Until lately, very little research has been done on social media from the perspective of older people. This is surprising as prior literature reveals that the amount of elderly people is increasing in the future. The empirical research material was collected by interviewing elderly people who lived independently at home. The qualitative study showed that not all elderly find social media necessary or interesting but several of them use ICT due to need for services. The results will contribute further research on the use of ICT and elderly people.

"Privacy-shake", a haptic interface for managing privacy settings in mobile location sharing applications
(2010)
Jedrzejczyk, Lukasz; Price, Blaine A.; Bandara, Arosha K.; Nuseibeh, Bashar
Abstract:
We describe the “Privacy-Shake”, a novel interface for managing coarse grained privacy settings. We built a prototype that enables users of Buddy Tracker, an example location sharing application, to change their privacy preferences by shaking their phone. Users can enable or disable location sharing and change the level of granularity of disclosed location by shaking and sweeping their phone. In this poster we present and motivate our work on Privacy-Shake and report on a lab-based evaluation of the interface with 16 participants.

"PS. I Love You": understanding the impact of posthumous digital messages
(2016)
Jamison-Powell, Sue; Briggs, Pam; Lawson, Shaun; Linehan, Conor; Windle, Karen; Gross, Harriet
Abstract:
A number of digital platforms and services have recently emerged that allow users to create posthumous forms of communication, effectively arranging for the delivery of messages from 'beyond the grave'. Despite some evidence of interest and popularity of these services, little is known about how posthumous messages may impact the people who receive them. We present a qualitative study that explores the type of experiences potentially triggered upon receiving such messages. Our findings firstly suggest that posthumous messaging services have the potential to alter the relationship between the bereaved and the deceased, and secondly provide insight into how users make sense of this altered relationship. Through the inference of a set of design considerations for posthumous communication services, we reveal a number of conflicts that are not easily solvable through technological means alone, and which may serve as starting points for further research. Our work extends the gro...

"The Future of the Front National in France"
(2009)
ARNOLD, EDWARD JAMES
Abstract:
The Future of the Front National in France The movement is not a spent force which will disappear with the demise of J-M Le Pen despite poor electoral results since 2007. Sarkozy appears to have occupied the political space and rhetoric of the FN with themes of cross-class appeal, and has infused his presidency with Gaullist energy on the international scene, but the conditions that have led in the past to the political success of the National Front are still present within the fabric of French society and politics. The decline in support for the FN is a symptom of an apparent return of the electors to supporting government parties. In 2007, votes for far left movements were also historically low. The conditions that have led in the past to the political success of the National Front are still present within the fabric of French society and politics. The social and urban fracture will be exacerbated by the recession that is on the horizon, and much higher levels of unemployment whic...

"What have the Romans ever done for us?" Academic and activist forms of movement theorizing
(2002)
Barker, Colin; Cox, Laurence
Abstract:
We want to pose some questions about the relationship between social movements and 'social movement theories'. The questions reflect the sense of unease experienced by some 'academic intellectuals' who are also activists in movements, and the scepticism sometimes expressed by activists about the value of 'social movement theory.' Both of us having a foot in each camp, we share the unease.

“Calixarenes as ionophores in ion- selective electrodes: The Past and The Future of Chemical Sensing”
(2014)
Diamond, Dermot
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the context of early research into the use of calixarenes as ionophores in ion-selective electrodes and explains the basis for their exquisite selectivity in terms of the 3D arrangement of polar binding sites [1]. However, in order to make chemical sensors with long effective lifetimes, this polar cavity must be associated with an overall non-polar molecular character, in order to ensure that that the binding sites do not leach rapidly into aqueous sample media. Furthermore, while selectivity demands a significant binding constant (at least for the primary target ion), this cannot be too large, or binding becomes irreversible, leading to device failure. I will also review the trend towards solid-state sensor configurations compatible with printing technologies and low-cost mass production. To achieve this goal, the electrode internal-filling solution must be replaced with a solid material capable of emulating the mixed conductance behaviour that (in convent...

Russell, Philip
Abstract:
<p>Since 2010, the library at the Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT Dublin) in South County Dublin, Republic of Ireland, has been developing a suite of interactive online information literacy tutorials covering research, referencing, plagiarism and core academic skills. These open educational resources (OERs) provide users with a vibrant, challenging learning environment and facilitate flexible, 24/7, independent learning. The learning objects are accessible via multiple delivery platforms and are available for reuse under Creative Commons licence via national and international teaching and learning repositories.</p> <p>This paper outlines the development of these OERs and how the creation of these learning tools has provided students with a distinctive learning experience at ITT Dublin, facilitating their transition to higher education (HE) and advancing information literacy skills. The OERs promote excellence in teaching, learning and assessment, meet the ne...

Abstract:
Background: Access to formal dementia care services varies widely within and across European countries. This paper presents Irish data from one study within the Access to Timely Formal Care (Actifcare) JPND-funded research project. The study explored the personal experiences, and perceived barriers or facilitators in accessing formal home- and community-based health and social care systems from the perspectives of people with dementia. Methods: An exploratory qualitative design with purposive sampling was used. Two focus groups were conducted with people with dementia already using, or having previously tried to access, formal care. The first took place with older participants who attended a dementia-specific day centre in a central Dublin neighbourhood (n=3; mean age = 83.7). The second comprised of younger participants with early onset dementia from urban and rural locations in Ireland (n=4, mean age = 57.3). Discussions followed an agreed structure, were tape-recorded, transcrib...

“Lessons learnt in developing a SDR Platform with USB interface”
(2008)
Sanchez Mora , Magdalena; Corley, Gerry; Farrell, Ronan
Abstract:
Building a new Software Defined Radio (SDR) system requires multidisciplinary research covering the engineering disciplines of communication systems, radio frequency, digital and analog hardware, software and digital signal processing. This paper focuses on the efforts at the low-level software development, such as device drivers, embedded source code at firmware-space and Application- Programming Interfaces (APIs) at user-space. In the early stages of constructing a SDR platform, design decisions are made regarding the interface between the SDR hardware and the PC. These decisions are of great importance and will determine the complexity of the low-level software development, its interoperability with third-party tools for waveform development and its efficiency in terms of bandwidth and configurability. This position paper reviews the experiences in using a USB interface between the PC and the SDR platform and the corresponding impact in the software development stage.

(Still) Up to no Good: Reconfiguring the boundaries of worker resistance and misbehaviour in an increasingly non-union world
(2011)
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.

Abstract:
Introduction: Research shows that PwD and their carers often do not receive the type, quality and amount of support needed from health and social care services. This study, part of the Access to Timely Care (Actifcare) JPND-funded project, aimed to identify the (un)met needs of Irish people with dementia (PwD) living at home and to compare these to needs assessments from a family caregiver and an independent Actifcare researcher. Theory/Methods: Forty-three PwD (22 female, mean age 74.05, mean MMSE 20.34) and family caregiver (33 female, mean age 58.12) dyads participated. The Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE) was completed at baseline, 6-months and 12-months. All raters reported met and unmet need. Caregivers and researchers also reported formal and informal supports received. Additional measures included: Quality of life (Qol-AD, ICECAP-O, Carer-QoL), Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI-Q) and carer perseverance. Results: PwD perceived fewer met needs at baseline (...

Abstract:
Collaborative Web search (CWS) is a community-based approach to Web search that supports the sharing of past result selections among a group of related searchers so as to personalize result-lists to reflect the preferences of the community as a whole. In this paper, we present the results of a recent live-user trial which demonstrates how CWS elicits high levels of participation and how the search activities of a community of related users form a type of social search network.

<teiPublisher>: Bridging the Gap Between a Simple Set of Structured Documents and a Functional Digital Library
(2004)
SCHREIBMAN, SUSAN
Abstract:
Digital Libraries are complex systems that take a long time to create and tailor to specific requirements [1]. Their implementation requires special- ized computer skills, which are not usually found within humanities text encod- ing projects. Many encoders working on text encoding projects find they cannot take their work to the next level by transforming their collections of structured XML [2] texts into a publishable web sear chable and browsable service. Most often these teams find the way to encode their texts with a high degree of so- phistication, but unless they have funds to hire computer programmers their col- lections remain on local disk storage away from public access. <teiPublisher> is a novel tool designed with the aim of bridging the gap between simply having a collection of structured documents and having a functional digital library for public access via the web. The goal of this project is to build the tools to man- age an extensible, modular and confi gurab...

Catchment approach to passive sampling of Irish waters
(2015)
Jones, Lisa; Ronan, Jenny; McHugh, Brendan; McGovern, Evin; Regan, Fiona
Abstract:
The challenges of monitoring our waters for compliance with WFD and the expansion of the list of organic chemicals that are to be added for monitoring, provides impetus for investigation of alternative monitoring approaches such as passive sampling. The work being carried out represents an important collaboration between two research centres (DCU & MI) together with agency (EA UK and Inland Fisheries Ireland) and industry (TelLab) to assess the potential of passive sampling in monitoring priority pollutants in Ireland. The impact of this study may lie in the establishment of a capability to utilise passive sampling in the monitoring programme in Ireland for WFD. This project pilots the use of passive sampling technology (PDMS and POCIS) combined with biota monitoring to assess the presence of priority substances in Irish surface waters. The project focuses in particular on new pollutants earmarked as candidates for the Annex X priority substances list under the EU Water Framew...

Low cost autonomous sensing platforms for water quality
(2014)
Cogan, Deirdre; Cleary, John; Fay, Cormac; Diamond, Dermot
Abstract:
Protecting and maintaining the quality of environmental waters is of increasing importance as available water resources continues to decline. In this context, our ability to effectively monitor the aquatic environment is essential. Microfluidic technology has potential as a solution to the increasing demand for environmental monitoring; through minimisation of reagents and power consumption. These efforts will lead to the development of compact autonomous instruments for in situ continuous monitoring. Our approach is to combine microfluidic technology with colorimetric chemical assays; low cost LED/photodiode-based optical detection systems; and wireless communications. Developing low cost systems providing high-frequency data on key water quality parameters.
