The use of the irish electoral register for population estimation
(1980)
Whelan, BJ; Keogh, G
Abstract:
A strong relationship is shown to exist between the number of registered electors in a county and the county's population in census years. This relationship can be used to estimate county populations in intercensal years. Total population estimates for the years 1961 to 1979 are derived and are used to construct a net migration series for the same period. This series is compared with migration series implicit in the Central Statistics Office intercensal population series.

What went wrong with irelands recent post-censal population estimates
(1980)
Hughes, JG
Abstract:
The preliminary results of the 1979 Census (Ireland, 1979) indicated that the population was nearly 3.0 per cent greater than had been expected on the basis of the annual estimates of the population which were issued by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) for the years 1972 to 1978. The errors of closure for the years preceding each of the postwar censuses since 1951 are given in Table 1 from which it will be seen that the percentage error in 1978 was over twice as great as the previous largest error in 1950 and over five times as great as the average error for the years from 1950 to 1970.1international comparisons of errors of closure are given by Shryock et al. (1971, p. 106) and these show that the errors ranged from 1.1 per cent for West Germany in 1950 and 0.17 per cent for England and Wales in 1951 to 0.06 per cent for Australia in 1961. These figures and those shown in Table 1 indicate that there has been a significant deterioration in the relia-bility of Ireland's recen...

Urban-population density patterns and change in ireland, 1901-1979
(1982)
Hourihan, K
Abstract:
Precis: There were major changes in the population geography of the three largest cities in the Republic of Ireland during the twentieth century. Population densities in inner city areas have declined rapidly and most growth has been in suburban developments on the peripheries of the cities. Clark's (1951) negative exponential curve provides a very good fit to the population densities at each census year, and the changing patterns are summarised by the parameters of the model. Dublin especially has changed very quickly although its density was not particularly low by international standards about 1970. There are a number of problems associated with the present density patterns and these deserve urgent consideration.

SMAD7 variant rs4939827 is associated with colorectal cancer risk in Croatian population.
(2013)
ZGAGA, LINA
Abstract:
Background Twenty common genetic variants have been associated with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) in genome wide association studies to date. Since large differences between populations exist, generalisability of findings to any specific population needs to be confirmed. Aim The aim of this study was to perform an association study between risk variants: rs10795668, rs16892766, rs3802842 and rs4939827 and CRC risk in Croatian population. Methods An association study was performed on 320 colorectal cancer cases and 594 controls recruited in Croatia. We genotyped four variants previously associated with CRC: rs10795668, rs16892766, rs3802842 and rs4939827. Results SMAD7 variant rs4939827 (18q21.1) was significantly associated with CRC risk in Croatian population. C allele was associated with a decreased risk, odds ratio (OR): 0.70 (95% CI: 0.57-0.85, P=3.5E-04). Compared to TT homozygotes, risk was reduced by 34% in heterozygotes (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.47-0.92) and by 52...

Abstract:
<p>The original article is available at http://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(15)00129-1/abstract</p>
<p>BACKGROUND: Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a pooled analysis of data from population-based health examination surveys in different regions.</p> <p>METHODS: We used data from 96 population-based health examination surveys that had measured at least two of the biomarkers used for defining diabetes. Diabetes was defined using HbA1c (HbA1c ≥6·5% or history of diabetes diagnosis or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs) compared with either FPG only or FPG-or-2hOGTT d...

<p>BACKGROUND: Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. People with DS are at an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to the general population. Neuroimaging studies of AD have focused on medial temporal structures; however, to our knowledge, no in vivo case--control study exists comparing the anatomy of dementia in DS to people with AD in the general population. We therefore compared the in vivo brain anatomy of people with DS and dementia (DS+) to those with AD in the general population.</p> <p>METHOD: Using MRI in 192 adults, we compared the volume of whole brain matter, lateral ventricles, temporal lobes and hippocampus in DS subjects with and without dementia (DS+, DS-), to each other and to three non-DS groups. These included one group of individuals...

Age, growth and population dynamics of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled off the West Coast of Ireland
(2002)
Hannan, Joan F.
Abstract:
The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sole (Microstomus kitt), captured off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), were determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. The maximum age recorded was 14 years. Males of the population were dominated by 4 year olds, while females were dominated by 5 year olds. Females dominated the sex ratio in the overall sample, each month sampled, at each age and from 22cm in total length onwards (when N > 20). Possible reasons for the dominance of females in the sex ratio are discussed. Three models were used to obtain the parameters of the von Bertalanfly growth equation. These were the Ford-Walford plot (Beverton and Holt 1957), the Gulland and Holt plot (1959) and the Rafail (1973) method. Results of the fitted von Bertalanffy growth curves showed that female lemon sole o f f the west coast of Ireland grew faster than males and attained a greater size. Male and female lemon sole mature from 2 years of age...

Population red blood cell folate concentrations for prevention of neural tube defects: bayesian model
(2014)
MOLLOY, ANNE
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine an optimal population red blood cell (RBC) folate concentration for the prevention of neural tube birth defects. DESIGN: Bayesian model. SETTING: Data from two population based studies in China. PARTICIPANTS: 247,831 participants in a prospective community intervention project in China (1993-95) to prevent neural tube defects with 400 ?g/day folic acid supplementation and 1194 participants in a population based randomized trial (2003-05) to evaluate the effect of folic acid supplementation on blood folate concentration among Chinese women of reproductive age. INTERVENTION: Folic acid supplementation (400 ?g/day). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Estimated RBC folate concentration at time of neural tube closure (day 28 of gestation) and risk of neural tube defects. RESULTS: Risk of neural tube defects was high at the lowest estimated RBC folate concentrations (for example, 25.4 (95% uncertainty interval 20.8 to 31.2) neural tube defects per 10,000 births at 500 n...

The role of area-level deprivation and gender in participation in population-based faecal immunochemical test (FIT) colorectal cancer screening
(2016)
Clarke, Nicholas; McNamara, Deirdre; Kearney, Patricia M.; O'Morain, Colm A.; Shearer, Nikki; Sharp, Linda
Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the effects of sex and deprivation on participation in a population-based faecal immunochemical test (FIT) colorectal cancer screening programme. The study population included 9785 individuals invited to participate in two rounds of a population-based biennial FIT-based screening programme, in a relatively deprived area of Dublin, Ireland. Explanatory variables included in the analysis were sex, deprivation category of area of residence and age (at end of screening). The primary outcome variable modelled was participation status in both rounds combined (with “participation” defined as having taken part in either or both rounds of screening). Poisson regression with a log link and robust error variance was used to estimate relative risks (RR) for participation. As a sensitivity analysis, data were stratified by screening round. In both the univariable and multivariable models deprivation was strongly associated with participation. Increasing affluence ...

Global cognition, executive function, and metacognition in a stroke population
(2016)
Al Banna, Mona
Abstract:
<p>Post-stroke cognitive impairment is associated with poor long-term outcomes and increased functional dependency. The overall study aim was to explore the relationships between global cognition, executive function and metacognition in a stroke population, to examine correlates and potential predictors of cognitive impairment and to determine the relationship between cognitive impairment and stroke in a Bahraini stroke sample in comparison to an age- and sex- matched control group. A sample of 130 stroke patients (case group) were recruited from the largest medical complex in Bahrain and 55 control participants from the non-stroke general population were recruited from two primary local health centres in the country. General demographic data, clinical assessment and neuropsychological battery of cognitive assessments was conducted on participants. The study found that individuals not affected by stroke have proportional risk factors to a stroke population in Bahrain. Approxim...

A population structure analysis of Candida dubliniensis using multilocus sequence typing and an investigation of the molecular mechanism(s) of clade-specific resistance to 5-fluorocytosine
(2009)
McManus, Brenda
Abstract:
THESIS 9477
Candida dubliniensis shares many phenotypic and genetic characteristics with its closest relative, Candida albicans, which most likely delayed the identification and subsequent classification of C. dubliniensis as a distinct taxon. Previous population structure analyses of C. dubliniensis were based on DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe Cd25, and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal gene cluster. These studies showed that C dubliniensis is comprised of three major clades (Cd25 groups I- III) comprising four distinct ITS genotypes (1-4). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) has proved useful for investigating the population biology of C. albicans, identifying many distinct clades. In the present study, MLST was used to investigate the population structure of C. dubliniensis for the first time. Combinations of ten loci previously tested for MLST analysis of C. albicans were assessed for their discriminatory ab...

Regime-separated approach for population balance modelling of continuous wet granulation of pharmaceutical formulations
(2018)
Shirazian, Saeed; Darwish, Shaza; Kuhs, Manuel; Croker, Denise M.; Walker, Gavin M.
Abstract:
A two-dimensional population balance model (PBM) was developed in order to predict granule size distribution (GSD) in continuous twin-screw granulation. The model predicts the GSD as well as granule liquid content at different spatial locations. In order to understand the different mechanisms involved in the twin-screw granulation process, a regime-separated approach was used in which the population balance model was solved for different zones along the extruder, i.e. kneading and conveying zones. For the conveying zone, the flow regime was assumed to be plug flow, whereas a well-mixed regime was assumed for modelling of particulate events in the kneading zone. In the development of the population balance model, breakage and aggregation phenomena were considered as particulate events. The unknown parameters of the model were estimated using experimental data obtained for granulation of pure microcrystalline cellulose using a 12 mm twin-screw granulator. Among five experimental runs,...

ISHAK, NURUL SA'IDAH
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The oral health status of adults with intellectual disabilities is poor. In Ireland, there is a paucity of oral health research with this population, largely due to cost of dental surveys and thus there is little re-orientation of services to improve oral health of these individuals. An alternative oral health data collection approach, such as use of non-dental individuals as assessors, has been validated in other groups of population. However, the suitability of the existing tools for use with populations with ID has not been reported. The need for a comprehensive, valid, reliable, inexpensive and acceptable index that can be use by trained non-dental individuals on adults with ID is now recognised. RESEARCH AIM AND OBJECTIVES: Aim: To investigate the feasibility of utilising non-dental individuals to carry out oral health data collection in an adult population with intellectual disabilities (ID). Objectives: 1) To construct an oral health data collection tool that can ...

Abstract:
Background: Overweight and obesity prevalence has risen dramatically in recent decades. While it is known that overweight and obesity is associated with a wide range of chronic diseases, the cumulative burden of chronic disease in the population associated with overweight and obesity is not well quantified. The aims of this paper were to examine the associations between BMI and chronic disease prevalence; to calculate Population Attributable Fractions (PAFs) associated with overweight and obesity; and to estimate the impact of a one unit reduction in BMI on the population prevalence of chronic disease. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 10,364 adults aged &gt;= 18 years from the Republic of Ireland National Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition (SLAN 2007) was performed. Using binary regression, we examined the relationship between BMI and the selected chronic diseases. In further analyses, we calculated PAFs of selected chronic diseases attributable to overweight...

Abstract:
Background: In addition to services within the health system, interventions at the population and community levels are also important for the promotion of mental health, primary prevention of mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) disorders, identification and case detection of MNS disorders; and to a lesser degree treatment, care and rehabilitation. This study aims to identify &quot;best practice&quot; and &quot;good practice&quot; interventions that can feasibly be delivered at these population- and community-levels in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), to aid the identification of resource efficiencies and allocation in LMICs. Methods: A narrative review was conducted given the wide range of relevant interventions. Expert consensus was used to identify &quot;best practice&quot; at the population-level on the basis of existing quasi-experimental natural experiments and cost effectiveness, with small scale emerging and pr...

Abstract:
The understanding of variations in genome sequences assists us in identifying people who are predisposed to common diseases, solving rare diseases, and finding corresponding population group of the individuals from a larger population group. Although classical machine learning techniques allow the researchers to identify groups or clusters of related variables, accuracies, and effectiveness of these methods diminish for large and hyperdimensional datasets such as whole human genome. On the other hand, deep learning (DL) can make better representations of large-scale datasets to build models to learn these representations very extensively. Furthermore, Semantic Web (SW) technologies already acted as useful adaptors in life science research for large-scale data integration and querying. Thus the standardized public data created using SW plays an increasingly important role in life sciences research. In this paper, we propose a novel and scalable genomic data analysis towards populatio...

Abstract:
End of Project Report
This purpose of this project is to develop a spatial model to project population and labour market variables at the small area level in Ireland. The model is called SMILE (Simulation Model for the Irish Local Economy) and is a static and dynamic spatial microsimulation model. Microsimulation attempts to describe economic and social events by modelling the behaviour of individual agents such as persons or firms. Microsimulation models have proved useful in evaluating the impact of policy changes at the micro level. Spatial microsimulation models contain information on geographic units and allow for a regional or local approach to policy analysis. SMILE is based on modelling work on urban systems and employs similar techniques for analysing rural areas. The static model creates a spatially referenced synthetic population of Ireland. Each individual enumerated in the 1991 Census of Population is synthetically constructed and is assigned 11 census characteristi...

Abstract:
1. The efficacy of marine protected areas (MPAs) depends on clear conservation objectives and ecologically meaningful boundaries. The east coast of Scotland bottlenose dolphin population expanded its distributional range during the 1990s beyond the boundaries of the Moray Firth Special Area of Conservation (SAC), originally proposed to contain their core area of distribution. Two decades on, this study assesses the importance for this population of St Andrews Bay and the Tay estuary, 300 km south of the SAC. 2. Photoidentification data from 2009 to 2015 were analysed using mark–recapture models to investigate the proportion of the population that uses St Andrews Bay and the Tay estuary. Habitat models were fitted to bottlenose dolphin presence–absence data to identify areas of high use. 3. The estimated number of dolphins using St Andrews Bay and the Tay estuary during the summer increased from 91 (95% confidence interval 78–106) in 2009 to 114 (95% confidence interval 95–137) in 20...

Shrink smarter? Planning for spatial selectivity in population growth in Ireland
(2013)
Daly, Gavin; Kitchin, Rob
Abstract:
One of the most fundamental but overlooked questions in shaping a national territorial-development strategy is how to manage spatial development in regions that have not been selected for new growth. The Irish National Spatial Strategy (NSS) is ostensibly a policy exercise in spatial selectivity where clear choices have been made as to where to target future population growth. The failure of policy to implement the NSS to date can be largely attributed to the difficult political process in practice of identifying 'winners' and 'losers'. In order to achieve the public consensus required for effective implementation, a revised strategy will need to pay greater attention to the residual regions. This will require a greater societal acceptance that population growth cannot occur everywhere, and that population decline and stagnation may become the normal pathway for some regions. This paper explores planning governance models of how to manage decline, drawing on the ...

Abstract:
Copy number variants (CNVs) are a form of genomic variation that changes the structure of the genome through deletion or duplication of stretches of DNA. The objective of the present study was to characterize CNVs in a large multibreed population of beef and dairy bulls. The CNVs were called on the autosomes of 5,551 cattle from 22 different beef and dairy breeds, using 2 freely available software suites, QuantiSNP and PennCNV. All CNVs were classified into either deletions or duplications. The median concordance between PennCNV and QuantiSNP, per animal, was 18.5% for deletions and 0% for duplications. The low concordance rate between PennCNV and QuantiSNP indicated that neither algorithm, by itself, could identify all CNVs in the population. In total, PennCNV and QuantiSNP collectively identified 747,129 deletions and 432,523 duplications; 80.2% of all duplications and 69.1% of all deletions were present only once in the population. Only 0.154% of all CNVs identified were present ...

Abstract:
Contemporary Irish data on the prevalence of major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are sparse. The primary aims of this study were (1) to estimate the prevalence of major cardiovascular disease risk factors, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, in the general population of men and women between the ages of 50 and 69 years; and (2) to estimate the proportion of individuals in this age group at high absolute risk of cardiovascular disease events on the basis of pre-existing cardiovascular disease or as defined by the Framingham equation. Participants were drawn from the practice lists of 17 general practices in Cork and Kerry using stratified random sampling. A total of 1018 people attended for screening (490 men, 48%) from 1473 who were invited, a response rate of 69.1%. Cardiovascular disease risk factors and glucose intolerance are common in the population of men and women aged between 50 and 69 years. Almost half the participants were overweight and a further quarter met ...

Scenario analysis and noise action planning : modelling the impact of mitigation measures on population exposure

Murphy, Enda; King, Eoin A.
Abstract:
This paper reports on strategic noise mapping research conducted in Dublin, Ireland. Noise maps are constructed for the day–evening–night-time and night-time periods and levels of population exposure are estimated for the same periods. In methodological terms, the research uses the UK’s calculation of road traffic noise (CRTN) method for calculating noise levels in the study area. This method has been adopted as the interim calculation method by the Irish authorities responsible for meeting the obligations set out in the EU Environmental Noise Directive (END). The research also investigates the usefulness of three noise mitigation measures for ‘acoustical planning’ purposes: traffic reductions, speed reductions and erection of acoustical barriers. The results indicate that levels of population exposure during night-time are extremely high relative to guideline limits set down by the World Health Organisation. In addition, the results highlight the significant role that certain noise...

Population estimates of juvenile salmonids in the Corrib system 1981
(1982)
Browne, J; Gallagher, P
Abstract:
This is the third in a series of reports regarding the stocks of juvenile salmonids in the Corrib system. During the 1981 season fourteen tributaries were surveyed and in two cases upstream and downstream reaches were examined. These included three which had not been studied previously: the Failmore, Letterfore and Black. The methods were identical to those used in 1979 and 1980. As in the previous years the rivers were selected because they were known salmon holding tributaries and do not reflect trout numbers in the system. The population numbers are assessed by electrically fishing a selected area. The fish caught are marked by fin clipping and allowed to re-mix with the fish in the stream. The next day fishing is repeated in the same place and the proportion of marked to unmarked fish gives an estimate of the population. While it is not essential that river conditions remain the same on both days it does help the accuracy of the estimate. There is a tendency for fish to move out...

Abstract:
This report examines the demography and vital statistics of the Traveller population in Ireland. The demography section concentrates on the determination of the total count of Travellers and on their age/sex distribution.The results are based on data collected in the census survey of Travellers carried out on the normal census dates of 14th October 2008 in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and 16th February 2009 in Northern Ireland (NI).The vital statistics section examines mortality in the Traveller population based on an enumeration of deaths in ROI and NI that occurred in the 12-month period prior to ROI census survey.
