The University and Democracy: Habermas, Adult Learning and Learning Society
(2006)
Fleming, Ted
Abstract:
This paper will attempt to articulate an agenda for the university that transcends the reductionist vision of the economic agenda. I write this from the perspective of an adult educator in the university. Adult education as a field of practice provides access routes for 2,000 mature students each year who enrol in modular, credit-bearing courses outside the College. But adult education is also an academic discipline with its philosophy, sociology and psychology, articulated and tested in the world of practice. It borrows from other disciplines and creates its own epistemologies,theories of learning and pedagogical practices. It has answers (even if, like all disciplines,these are provisional and contested) to such questions as, what is an adult? What is adult learning? What is adult education? And what is a university for? - The ideas of Jurgen Habermas will be the starting-point for the discussion of the role of a university, and this paper will attempt to reawaken the notion that ...

Adult and Community Education: A Model for Higher Education?

Adult and Community Education: A Model for Higher Education?
(2006)
Connolly, Brid
Abstract:
Any discussion about the nature and meaning of higher education has to take place in the context of enormous changes in society, probably on the scale of the Industrial Revolution. However, while the Industrial Revolution was driven by the economy as a social institution, with subsequent social and cultural transformations, the knowledge revolution is driven by technology and social change pivoting on democratisation. As a society, we are moving closer to individuation, within community and the social, amid discourses that construct our sense of reality and of our identities. This article will consider the key question for higher education: in what way ought it serve society? For those who defer to market forces, the value will be in terms of laws of economics, profit and loss. However, the meaning and value of higher education is underpinned by a basic ideological stance, if the answer includes priority for fostering places and environments for learning and scholarship in order to ...

The Promise of Untimely Meditations: Reflections on University Education in the Early Twenty-First Century.

The Promise of Untimely Meditations: Reflections on University Education in the Early Twenty-First Century.
(2006)
Hogan, Padraig
Abstract:
Within the last few decades higher education nternationally has become increasingly regarded as a strategic resource for economic and scientific advance. Reference to the 'entrepreneurial university' has become commonplace in public discourse. This is not to say, however, that universities, as places of learning, have become recast tout ensemble as places of production. Were the change as resounding as this, the scope to pursue any teaching and research that was not tied to some economic or social policy imperative would have all but disappeared. The resulting discontent would be difficult to weather by authorities in democratic societies. What has been underway is something more urbane and more intricate than a crass inversion in the purposes of higher learning. Mirroring developments in society more widely, a new utilitarianism, now in a technological key, has been confidently establishing itself as the conventional wisdom of educational policy debates.

Picking Wild Flowers and Orchids: Attachment theory and the implication for adult education
(2007)
Fleming, Ted
Abstract:
The attachment theory of John Bowlby has had an enduring impact on our understanding of child development. But these ideas are a neglected and forgotten discourse in adult education. In this paper secure and insecure attachments, internal working models, the strange situation along with the more contemporary concept of mind-mindedness are explored. The paper also explores the implications for how adults deal with new situations and new ideas; how adult learners and teachers are influenced by their own attachment styles and internal working models. These models are interpreted as strategies for dealing with stress, anxiety, change and the challenges of working with people in learning environments. In addition the implications of these concepts for understanding transformative learning are identified and changing internal working models are proposed as a form of transformative learning.

The Future of Adult Education: Learning towards a new democracy
(1996)
Fleming, Ted
Abstract:
Adult educators have given a considerable amount of time and energy over the past five years to preparing for the White Paper, Charting our Education Future. The State has this ability to set the agenda for our discussions and deliberations but as a major statement of policy and a framework for the future development of adult education the paper deserves a considered response. What I would like to do is explore one or two ideas that I think are central to this task. These thoughts are meant neither as the only ones worth considering nor as a definitive and final position but rather as thoughts in search of dialogue. There will be three parts to this task: 1. A critique of the white paper, the negative 2. A closer look at what is implied by this critique, the positive 3. Adult education: A future role in a domocracy of free citizens.

What is Human Dignity?

What is Human Dignity?
(2004)
Lebech, Mette
Abstract:
The English expression 'human dignity' consists of the predicate 'human' and the noun 'dignity'. The adjective qualifies the noun, thus determining the kind of dignity in question as the human kind. The adjective has a similar function in the expression 'human being': Here it qualifies the noun 'being', to determine the kind of being in question as a being of the human kind. 'Human' is etymologically related to the Latin for earth, humus, so that 'human' means what is 'earthly' (as an adjective), or an 'earthling' (as a substantive). Generally speaking it means what is proper to the kind that 'we' are, or to the species of rational animals, referring in particular to their kindness (humanity) and their fallibility ('all too human').

Demanding Reflexivity: Lazy Ozzie and Other Stories.
(2007)
McCormack, David
Abstract:
One of the orthodoxies of supervising research within the framework of a radical approach to adult education is that you 'demand' a reflexive approach. That is, you ask that the researcher adopt a paradigm of research that does not pretend scientific validity, one that recognises that the researcher's own assumptions, experiences and subjectivity constitute the major source of colour in the canvas he or she is painting. Reflexivity in research involves developing 'critical literacy' by not only exploring the external world but also turning the research gaze both on the medium of research and on the researcher him/herself (Davies et al., 2006, p. 88). Researchers therefore, as well as being concerned with doing research, are also concerned with their own story as researchers and with the story of the research.

Beyond the Third Way: New Challenges for Critical Adult and Community Education.
(2007)
Connolly, Brid
Abstract:
In the mid-nineties, when I was trying to make convincing connections between community development and adult education, the neo-liberal tendencies in the sector profoundly disturbed me. All over Ireland, local and community development groups were springing up, developing strategic plans for their areas. While some of these plans were genuinely consultative and indisputably concerned with poverty and inequality, many were purely economic, demonstrating little concern for social issues, The elements of the neo-liberal tendencies included the alliance with The Third Way, the neo-liberal ideology of economics, which entails going beyond Left and Right, and promoting the 'what works' strategy. Giddens has been highly influential in devising this ideological strategy, laying the foundation for the emergence of New Labour type politics that has prevailed in Ireland, the UK and the USA under Clinton (Giddens, 1994). However, this centrist positioning overtly supported corporate ...

The U.S. and Irish Credit Crises: Their distinctive Differences and Common Features
(2010)
Connor, Gregory; Flavin, Thomas; O'Kelly, Brian
Abstract:
Although the US credit crisis precipitated it, the Irish credit crisis is an identifiably separate one, which might have occurred in the absence of the U.S. crash. The distinctive differences between them are notable. Almost all the apparent causal factors of the U.S. crisis are missing in the Irish case; and the same applies vice-versa. At a deeper level, we identify four common features of the two credit crises: capital bonanzas, irrational exuberance, regulatory imprudence, and moral hazard. The particular manifestations of these four “deep” common features are quite different in the two cases.

Strategic Investment and the Gains from Trade (N216-11)

Strategic Investment and the Gains from Trade (N216-11)
(2011)
Dewit, Gerda; Leahy , Dermot
Abstract:
This paper examines how trade liberalisation affects innovation, profits and welfare when firms are engaging in strategic R&D investment. We show that there are multiple equilibria including an autarky equilibrium for a range of high but non-prohibitive trade costs. At lower trade costs, only the trading equilibrium survives. Welfare is U-shaped in the trade costs, so a small fall in trade costs can be welfare reducing. However we find a threshold level of the effectiveness of investment above which trade is always welfare superior to autarky.

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here? (N217-11)
(2010)
Pecchenino, Rowena
Abstract:
Hope plays an important role in all individuals’ lives both today and in the future. While hope and hopelessness are important concepts and the subjects of much theorizing in psychology, theology, philosophy, political science, nursing, as well as in literature and the arts, it is absent from economics. This silence on hope is notable since hope is fundamentally at the centre of choice, especially intertemporal choice, which is at the centre of economic analysis. To place hope at the centre of intertemporal choice, it is important to clearly define what hope is and what it is not. What hope is not is constant. Hope is not optimism; hope is not unfounded dreams divorced from reality; hope is not irrational. I distil what hope is from its characterization in a number of different disciplines. A comparison of characterizations identifies a number of commonalities and common definitions. Using the derived set of definitions, I incorporate hope into economic analysis, consider what impli...

Interpretation of Spatial Movement and Perception in Location Based Services
(2009)
Mac Aoidh, Eoin; Winstanley, Adam
Abstract:
Location Based Services should deliver pertinent information to the user at the right place and at the right time. Such is the range of available content, that it must be filtered and prioritised according to the user's context to reduce wait time and eliminate the delivery of unwanted information. Whiie some contextual information can be inferred from the device sensors, such as location and time, a deeper understanding of the user's context can be inferred by combing these sources with an implicit interpretation of the user's actions. This paper proposes an experiment to compare the user's actions in a real world environment to his actions in an identical virtual world, enabling accurate contextual inferences to be made. The real world study allows an analysis of real movements, which can be correlated with movements in the virtual world, with a greater potential for additional psychological analysis as part of the virtual world.

Wiimote as a Navigation tool for Pedestrians
(2009)
Jacob, Ricky; Winstanley, Adam; Meenagh, Declan; Mac Aoidh, Eoin
Abstract:
Pedestrian Navigation requires effective communication between the mobile device and the user. The Mobile device should be able to give feedback to the user ensuring there is minimum input and attention of the user required. Mobile interaction for navigation has mostly been through the use of visual interfaces with maps and annotations. This paper describes a Multi-modal, haptic interface witb the visual interface of an OpenStreetMap on a mobile platform. The Wiimote is used as the haptic tool which will vibrate based on the navigation path to be taken by the user wit signals from the mobile application via a wireless connection using bluetooth.

Feedback Control Models and Their Application in Pedestrian Navigation Systems
(2009)
Yan, Lei; Pan, Zheng; Winstanley, Adam C.; Fotheringham, A. Stewart; Zheng, Jianghua
Abstract:
Feedback control theory has been widely used in many fields; this paper introduces this theory into a model for a pedestrian navigation system. Based on the model, several feedback channels are designed and analysed using control theory. The pedestrian is not only a data receiver but also a data collector. All collected information is stored in a temporal database and can be used for spatial-temporal analysis. At the same time, feedback control theory can integrate all modules of the system as whole, which can help to improve the overall effectiveness. Based on information fed back and feedback control theory, the pedestrian navigation system will help users to "see more, understand better, and decide more quickly."

RF SDR for Wideband PMR
(2009)
Gao, Ling; Farrell, Ronan
Abstract:
TErrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) offers capabilities equivalent to the second generation of mobile phones with voice and limited data capabilities. TETRA needs to evolve to satisfy increasing user demand for new services and facilities as well as gleaning the benefits of new technology. An initial enhancement (TETRA Enhanced Data Service, TEDS) has been agreed. The enhanced TETRA services allows for more flexibility in the communication modes used, so as to provide adaptability in applications. We propose that it is possible to deploy Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies into the basestation to economically provide this level of flexibility and to further extend the capability of TETRA services by deploying a WiMAX channel into the proposed TETRA tuning range. Thus delivering true broadband data service while simultaneously supporting the original and enhanced TETRA services.

Analogical Structure Matching on Cartographic Data
(2001)
Mulhare, L.; O'Donoghue, D.; Winstanley, A.C.
Abstract:
We describe the application of analogical structure matching to the problem of classifying objects in structured cartographic data. The reasons for and the requirements of such a classification are firstly outlined. The attributes on which the structural matching will operate and the representation of this data in Prolog are then described. A brief mention is made of the extraction of these attributes from the sample data. Our domain-specific Cartographic Structure Matching Algorithm is then introduced and explained. The fusion of our algorithm's results with other classification techniques is mentioned, and some examples of the detection of misclassified polygons are provided. We finally provide a preliminary evaluation of our classification technique and suggest some future developments.

Grain Price Volatility in a Small Open Economy
(2002)
Roche, Maurice; McQuinn, Kieran
Abstract:
This paper uses a multivariate vector error-correction generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model to investigate the effect of British grain prices on their Irish equivalents. We find that in the long run the law of one price holds and in the short run the model captures the salient features of Irish grain prices. The model is used to compute rolling forecasts of the conditional means, variances and covariance of Irish grain prices one year ahead. We find that this model produces superior forecasts compared to those based on a commonly used methodology of an autoregressive conditional mean model where the second moments are estimated using a fixed weight moving average
