"Sie war; sie wurde; sie wurde nichts." Weiblichkeit, Trauma und Suizid in Texten von Arthur Schnitzler, Ingeborg Bachmann und Peter Handke
(2014)
Klapper, Simone
Abstract:
This study investigates the literary presentation of female suicide in Schnitzler's 'Fräulein Else', Bachmann's 'Das Buch Franza' and Handke's 'Wunschloses Unglück', prose texts situated in a period from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century. By exploring the interrelation between suicide, trauma, gender and speechlessness in the framework of Cultural and Gender Studies this dissertation provides new insights into the development of poetic language critique in twentieth century literature. The works discussed suggest a close link between suicide and (psychological) speechlessness. The protagonists' suicide in each text results from violence, marginalisation and traumatic experience. Their suicide can be understood as a response to an aporetic situation and as an act of sovereignty against a social order or cultural practices which render(s) them voiceless. The works also reflect on how suicide can traumatically affect the...

"Such friends": effects of extensive cluster group interaction on the development of creative writers
(1997)
Donnelly, Kathleen V
Abstract:
Four writers and their associated cluster groups were studied through content analysis of numerous biographies. These include W. B. Yeats and the Irish Literary Renaissance (1897-1906), Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group (1907-1915), Gertrude Stein and the American Expatriates in Paris (1921-1930), and Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin Round Table (1919-1928). The groups were analysed with reference to the social psychological research on group roles, structure, and interaction patterns; climate, goals and values; and cohesiveness. The writers’ development was analysed with reference to identity, differentiation, productivity and risk-taking. The analyses of all four groups-despite their diversity of membership, nationality and location-revealed remarkably similar structuring of roles and interaction patterns. The core of each group consisted of the writer and a co-dependent who hosted the group and supported the writer. Closely associated with these two roles were three other...

"Tha' sounds like me arse!": a comparison of the translation of expletives in two German translations of Roddy Doyle's "The commitments"
(2009)
Ghassempur, Susanne
Abstract:
The present study is a quantitative as well as qualitative investigation into the translation of swearwords in the dialogue of two German versions of Roddy Doyle's The Commitments (1987). The novel was first translated into German in 1990 by Oliver Huzly and retranslated in 2001 by Renate Orth-Guttmann. The main question of interest in the present study may be formulated as follows: 'How do two different translators deal with swearwords in the dialogue of an Irish-English literary work and what are the results of their decisions?' More precisely, the main primary impression was that Oliver Huzly had a more source-text oriented approach when translating swearwords and did not consider their functions in Irish-English colloquial speech. An initial quantitative analysis comprises a comparison of frequencies and distribution of swearwords in the source text and its two translations. It was revealed that, from a quantitative point of view, the two German versions appear to...

"The distant skin": a deconstructive analysis of women and polysemic touch in the writing of John McGahern and Anne Enright
(2014)
Abstract:
This thesis, by providing a deconstructive reading of the work of John McGahern and Anne Enright, elucidates the way in which the place, position and representation of women in modern Irish society is profoundly affected by personal, political, religious and even legal societal forces. The project attempts to utilise the work of both authors to access and reveal the ‘Real’ experience of Irish women, in particular emphasising the impact of physical, emotional and metaphoric touch upon both their bodies and minds. By analysing the work of these writers through the lens of literary theorists such as Julia Kristeva, Jacques Lacan, Luce Irigaray, Jacques Derrida, Hélène Cixous, Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser, this work will attempt to chart the changing perception of women and the lived female experience in modern Irish society from the 1960s right up to the present day, elucidating both the covert methods by which Irish women are currently repressed or silenced within society, and ...

"The soul has ears": Music and movement in the poetry of John Berryman
(2017)
COBAIN, EVE CLAIRE
Abstract:
"The soul has ears": Music and Movement in the Poetry of John Berryman Berryman?s musical interest is consistently remarked on by readers of his work, but remains vastly understudied, though it touches almost every aspect of his poetic project. The poet?s obsession with ?hearing? was one that spilled across from one art form into another, and his musical enthusiasm expresses itself in a way that is all-pervasive. Berryman?s work represents a deep enquiry into the influence of music on the mind and body, as well as its impact on the structures of the poem. As early as The Dispossessed (1948), his first major publication, the song emerges as an emotional yet social medium, and the poet?s interest in the human voice as a form of musical embodiment remains a feature until his final posthumous collection, Delusions, Etc., published in 1972. In fact, all of Berryman?s major poetic works demonstrate a general, and associated, interest in musical personalities ? such as Beethove...

"The whole man": a discussion of the influence of aspects of the occult and of German philosophy on Yeats’s dramatic theory and performance
(2014)
Abstract:
This thesis will attempt to set out the core elements of the dramatic theory of William Butler Yeats. He had worked on this for many years, attempting to create a theatre in which unity of Image on stage would lead to a sense of Unity of Being in the audience, which, in turn, would lead to a form of Unity of Culture in society at large. The thesis will examine the core disciplines and areas of epistemology which influenced Yeatsian dramatic theory. Initially, it will look at his pagan or neo-pagan sensibility, as expressed through his belonging to numerous magical societies, and his involvement indifferent areas of pagan, occult and esoteric knowledge such as Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy and The Golden Dawn. The second chapter will examine his reading of German Philosophers and thinkers such as Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche and Friedrich Schiller. It will also address the strong influences of different aspects of the thinking of these philosophers on his dramati...

"You Mean We're Not Real People?": A semiotic and sociolinguistic perspective on the transposition of fictive Dialogue in the Spanish Translations of John Updike's "Rabbit" books
(2015)
Harrington-Fernandez, Owen
Abstract:
Despite the vast amount of research on translation in recent decades, the issue of fictive dialogue has yet to gain prominence in the field. Viewed from a monolingual perspective, dialogue is already problematic in that it defies a concrete definition. It is written language, yet its function is to represent oral discourse. From a translation perspective and beyond this ontological conundrum, dialogue warrants consideration because it is a crucial characterisation device. The illusion of communicative immediacy that authors create by removing themselves as proxy not only allows characters to interact with one another directly, but also allows readers to observe the behaviour of characters without the intrusion of the narrator, thus raising the issue of how characters perform their identity through language. With this in mind, the overarching question this thesis asks is the following: if the language characters use in dialogue changes, as it must do in translation, how does this cha...

“Ambiguous State of Being”: identity construction in contemporary Arab-American (post-9/11) poetry
(2016)
Baz Radwan, Omar
Abstract:
This study examines poetry written by Americans of Arab descent and the manifold ways in which ―national identity construction and belonging in terms of Race, Cultural Politics, and Feminism are portrayed in the discourse of various prominent, contemporary Arab-American poets. Using literary imagology as a methodological tool, the study investigates the various representations of identity/alterity expressed in these works. As such, the primary focus of the study is on the image of the Arab community in post-9/11 America, and the various cultural concerns of the spected community as portrayed in the literature (i.e. from an aesthetic, subjective perspective). Moreover, this study addresses the subsequent tensions and exilic notions encountered in contemporary Arab-American poetic discourse in its attempt to redefine and invalidate the image of being Arab, and by extrapolation, Muslim, in America after the incidents of the 9/11 attacks. This research focuses on sociopolitical readings...

“Eurozone firms’ derivatives usage: an empirical examination.”
(2014)
Carroll, Anthony
Abstract:
In this study, I empirically examine the determinants of firms’ derivatives usage. Theory suggests that market exposure, manager-shareholder agency conflicts, and the threats of financial distress and underinvestment can all motivate derivatives usage. Most previous studies attempt to test these ‘theories of optimal derivatives usage’ empirically by regressing some measure of derivatives usage on a range of accounting proxies for these firm attributes. I use a similar approach in this study. However, since these theories do not discriminate between different categories of derivatives - foreign currency (FX), interest rate (IR) and commodity price (CP) - most previous studies examine either general derivatives usage or only one of these categories of derivatives. Instead, I separately examine what motivates firms’ binary (yes/no) decisions to use foreign currency (FX), interest rate (IR) and commodity price (CP) derivatives. Furthermore, owing to a lack of accessible data, most previ...

“Free healthcare, free die”:the efficacy of social accountability interventions in the health sector in Sierra Leone
(2016)
Pieterse, Pieternella M
Abstract:
Since the beginning of the 21st century, aid donors, NGOs and development research institutions have turned their focus to the question of how the quality of basic public service delivery in developing countries can be improved. While it has become clear that the most important factor in the improvement of services is tackling problems related to the workforce that provides public services, it has not been easy to find effective ways to improve the standards of, for example, health and education services by changing the behaviour of public service providers. One approach which has received a lot of attention, and is now being used worldwide, is the use of ‘social accountability’. A myriad of social accountability approaches exist: many focus on citizen-service provider dialogue, others encompass participatory planning processes at district or even national level, or track how budgets are being spent. This study examines a sub-section of social accountability practice, and focuses sp...

“Green preservatives” – combating fungi in the food industry by applying antifungal lactic acid bacteria
(2013)
Pawlowska, Agata
Abstract:
Fungal spoilage is the most common type of microbial spoilage in food leading to significant economical and health problems throughout the world. Fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is one of the oldest and most economical methods of producing and preserving food. Thus, LAB can be seen as an interesting tool in the development of novel bio-preservatives for food industry. The overall objective of this study was to demonstrate, that LAB can be used as a natural way to improve the shelf-life and safety of a wide range of food products. In the first part of the thesis, 116 LAB isolates were screened for their antifungal activity against four Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. commonly found in food. Approximately 83% of them showed antifungal activity, but only 1% showed a broad range antifungal activity against all tested fungi. The second approach was to apply LAB antifungal strains in production of food products with extended shelf-life. L. reuteri R29 strain was identified as ...

“Mirror, mirror, here I stand”: the representation of women in the Vietnamese translation of Irish chick lit
(2016)
Nguyen, Nhat Tuan
Abstract:
The present study investigates the translation of the representation of women in Chick Lit written by Irish writers. The study makes use of a set of Irish contemporary women-centered fictional texts written by Marian Keyes, Cecelia Ahern and Cathy Kelly and their Vietnamese translations. The research argues that the representation of women in the translations is a synthesis of paratextual elements, cultural references, and cultural gender-behaviour norms associated with women. Applying the framework of Descriptive Translation Studies and using Toury’s (1995) coupled-pairs method, the research aims to investigate the translation of the representation of women in Chick Lit in Vietnamese translation and observe the translation strategies used in the translation process. The translated representation in this thesis was analysed from the Vietnamese concept of Four Virtues namely diligence, self-representation, speech, and courtesy. This approach has revealed subtle differences between th...

“Reframing” the postwar moment: the impact of UNSCR 1325 (2000) on gender relations in post-conflict states – the case of Sierra Leone
(2015)
Sicard, Aurelie
Abstract:
This thesis analyses the impact of UNSCR 1325 on post-conflict states using Sierra Leone as a case study. It employs the concept of the “postwar moment” defined as a period of fluidity with the potential to be a time of change, particularly in gender relations. This period has historically been negative for women. UNSCR 1325, which implicitly recalls this negative moment, has been prominent in international discourse on post-conflict reconstruction since its creation in 2000. It is credited with improving the position of women in conflict and in peace processes, and by implication, in post-conflict reconstruction, in this way ameliorating the impact of the postwar moment on women. The study uses a word-counting analysis of two Sierra Leonean newspapers covering 2002-2008 and of national policies documents from 2004-2012 to examine elite discourse on gender. The analysis uses frames drawn from a word-counting analysis of 1325 and related texts. The thesis finds that 1325 has had virt...

Abstract:
Information and communications technology has radically transformed many aspects of modern life. However, this is in marked contrast to its impact on education, where disappointingly educational technology has done little to transform our higher education system. This is in spite of the emergence of the formal role of educational technologist, the improved ICT infrastructure and the evolving recognition of the importance of teaching and learning within the sector. It is apparent that within a given academic community there are many individually motivated innovators i.e. those characterized by their willingness to experiment with new approaches and embrace change. Whilst there are also many who resist and avoid any possible alterations (or interference) in how they teach their subject matter. But what do we know of the characteristics and motivations of the practitioners currently operating in the field of educational technology? Indeed can we treat the domain of educational technolo...

Abstract:
Background: The impact of emergency service work on the health and well-being of personnel has been well documented in the literature. Despite this, however, very little is known about the experiences of emergency service retirees and their Quality of Life (QoL). Aims: The principal aim of this study was to assess the overall QoL and wellbeing of retired emergency services (ambulance and fire) personnel. The specific objectives of the study were to: (1) ascertain the possible long-term effects, on overall QoL, of working in the emergency services; (2) explore the experiences and views of retirees; and (3) to gather information on retirement policies and procedures for emergency service personnel. Method: The study was conducted within a sequential mixed methods framework, and incorporated three key stages. Stage One involved interviews with key informants from emergency services (N=14) to investigate their views around current retirement policies and procedures. Stage Two employed a...

“The way I see it is… Whole-School Evaluation in Irish Post-Primary Schools from the perspectives of principals, teachers, parents and students”
(2012)
Dillon, Suzanne
Abstract:
The Department of Education and Skills operates a programme of inspection to evaluate the quality of education provision in schools and to contribute to school improvement. The whole-school evaluation (WSE) process is designed “to monitor and assess the quality, economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the education system provided in the state by recognised schools and centres for education” (Education Act 1998, section 7 (2)(b)). This study set out to hear directly from principals, teachers, parents and students how they had experienced a whole-school evaluation and their perceptions of its usefulness for the school. The research approach adopted was qualitative, rooted in social constructivism. A basic tenet was that the same WSE experience could be understood from multiple perspectives, each equally valid and worth engaging with. The data set emerged from the talk of the principals, teachers, students and parents who participated in seven focus group discussions. By examining ...

(De)Constructing Paradigms of Genre: Aesthetics, Identity and Form in Franz Schubert’s Four-Hand Fantasias
(2013)
Strahan, Barbara
Abstract:
This thesis investigates and critiques the taxonomical criteria associated with Franz Schubert’s piano music for four hands. The classification of piano duets as salon music, with a utilitarian, pedagogical, perfunctory, and entertaining function, has resulted in the majority of these works being sidelined from serious scholarly enquiry. Indeed, the complex aesthetic of the early nineteenth-century salon has yet to be fully probed in relation to Schubert’s transformation of the piano duet medium. This thesis aims to firstly, expose the disparaging discourses regarding salon music which have manifested in the reception history of Schubert’s piano duet music, and secondly, to investigate Schubert’s unique ambition in this area. Schubert’s earliest innovations are evident in his decision to merge a typically solo piano genre – the fantasia – with the four-hand medium. It is such early ambitions which propelled the investigation into theories of genre: How does a category become establi...

(In)Determinacy: incorporating openness in programmed music and performance
(2015)
Wentworth, Sara
Abstract:
This portfolio and commentary demonstrates the use of indeterminacy as a method for creating live music and theater performances. The included works draw from Dadaist and Surrealist collage, avant garde theater, contemporary art, and contemporary composition, and use code, networked media, and open performance systems to create scores and environments. These works deconstruct and reconstruct topics of psychology, communication, and motivation. Seeking a balance between control and chaos, fragmentation is used as a method of experimentation, allowing for chance, variation, and feedback between technologies and performers, creating what Umberto Eco termed ‘open works.’

Abstract:
<p>This research project concerns arts practices in healthcare settings and the encounter between artist, researcher, healthcare professional and institution. Rather than understanding arts practices as either therapeutic or recreational services, this research asks instead, what (else) can an arts practice do? This is accomplished by connecting two previously separate bodies of scholarship; health sociology and an art criticism of expanded arts practices. By connecting these bodies of scholarship, this inquiry offers a new conceptual language and orientation for arts and health practitioners distinct from the evidence-based practice model most prevalent in academic and professional discourses and consequently establishes a transdisciplinary trajectory for artistic and research practices. Navigating between polemical art critical discourses and appropriating health discourses the research seeks to follow a generative path, to create a position of affirmation, where art encount...

It is claimed that modernisation is leading to childrens growing (dis)connect with the natural environment and brings additional responsibility to the relationship between society and the natural environment. But does environmental education (re)connect children with the natural environment, and to what extent is it (in)effective?

Abstract:
This study is a feminist poststructuralist analysis of the Girl Effect informed by girls experiences at the 54th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 54). Based on a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with eleven girl delegates, I interrogate the regulatory effects of the Girl Effect paradigm and examine the ways in which girls understand the invest in girls message. The Girl Effect logic, I suggest discursively (re)produces oppositional girlhoods and neoliberal girl power, which problematically displace girls human rights in favor of the missionary girl power logic (Sensoy and Marshall 2010). Using the tools of discursive deconstruction and voice-centered research (VCR), I investigate how girl delegates bring meaning to their political selves and girlhood(s); and reveal the normative and transformative (Taft 2010) possibilities for girls' political subjectivity and agency vis-Ã -vis the Girl Effect paradigm.

Abstract:
In the past years, photo-sensitation of polyoxometalate anions with Ruthenium polypyridyl cations has received intensive investigation as the excellent photoluminescence properties and stability of Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes in multiple redox states can be coupled to the POM in order to extend the absorbance crosssection of the resulting complex into the visible region. In this thesis, remediation of organic solvent, such as benzyl alcohol and toluene, and a number of key processes that influence the overall output from photocatalytic thin films were optimized. These steps included; (1) the extent to which the catalyst and sensitizer interact electronically, (2) the film structure since this can influence the substrate access to the catalytic centres and (3) their rate of regeneration. Thin layers of an electrostatically associated adduct formed between the polyoxomolybdate, and the ruthenium polypyridyl complex or metallopolymers have been deposited onto electrodes using alter...

1550 nm superluminescent diode and anti-stokes effect CCD camera based optical coherence tomography for full-field optical metrology

Kredzinski, Lukasz
Abstract:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a well-established non-invasive imaging technology capable of carrying out 3D high-resolution cross-sectional images of the internal microstructure of examined material. However, almost all of these systems are expensive, requiring the use of complex optical setups, expensive light sources and complicated scanning of the sample under test. In addition, most of these systems have not taken advantage of the competitively priced optical components available at wavelength within the main optical communications band located in the 1550 nm region. A comparatively simple and inexpensive full-field OCT system (FFOCT), based on a Superluminescent Diode (SLD) with an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) light source and anti-stokes imaging device was constructed, to perform 3D cross-sectional imaging. This kind of inexpensive setup with moderate resolution could be applicable in low-level biomedical and industrial diagnostics. This work involves assembly, ...
