Regulation and Effector Function of TH1 and TH2 Cells in Immunity to Bordetella Pertussis
(2001)
Brady, Miriam T.
Abstract:
The evaluation of vaccines for human use requires reliable models of infection, that are predictive of protective efficacy. Traditionally whole cell pertussis vaccines (Pw) have been controlled using the Kendrick test, which measures protection following intracerebral challenge with Bordetella pertussis. However, this test is unsuitable for assessing the potency o f the new acellular pertussis vaccines (Pa). In this study, it was demonstrated that protection in a murine respiratory challenge model correlates with the protective efficacy of Pa and Pw in children, but vaccine potency could not be predicted on the basis of antibody responses against individual antigens. Furthermore, the murine model was shown to be a reliable method for the determination of consistency between different batches o f Pa and Pw. This study highlights the possible applications of the murine model in the regulatory control and future development of pertussis vaccines. The murine model of infection has been ...

Fostering accessible technology and sculpting an inclusive market through regulation
(2015)
Ferri, Delia; Giannoumis, Anthony; O'Sullivan, Charles Edward
Abstract:
Technology has attracted an increasing level of attention within disability studies. Even though an ambivalent attitude towards technological innovation still remains (Sheldon 2003; Macdonald and Clayton 2013), several scholars appreciate that advances in technology have enabled more persons with disabilities than ever before to actively participate in society (Halvorsen 2010; Blanck 2014; Giannoumis 2014). Disability studies’ scepticism towards technology derives from the fear that technology becomes another way to ‘fix’ impairments, perpetuating and reinforcing the outdated medical approach to disability, which identified disability with impaired invalid bodies that needed to be cured, helped, assisted, ‘supplemented’ (ex pluribus Barnes and Mercer 2010; Oliver and Barnes 2012). In addition, some scholars see technology as another impairing barrier, rather than a facilitator or a tool to overcome existing obstacles (Jaeger 2013; Blanck 2014).

Essays on Systemic Banking Crises and Bank Regulation
(2016)
Wosser, Michael
Abstract:
In a panel comprising 61 countries covering the years 1980-2010 we show that macroeconomic variables such as GDP and deposit insurance remain statistically significant crisis determinants in the long run but that variables such as real-interest rates and inflation are not reported as systemic banking crisis determinants when estimated over a full business cycle. When studies such as these are conducted we find that the choice of panel time-span is highly relevant. Using a shorter panel (1998-2011) involving 75 countries, we show that sectoral variables such as Bank Z-Score, private-credit-to-GDP ratio, bank credit-to-deposit ratio and non-performing loan levels yield improved in-sample crisis predictions. Whereas sectoral-centric models may over-estimate the likelihood of systemic banking crises this does not constitute a model weakness if not overlooking embryonic crises is the key objective. Future research is facilitated via the establishment of a control cluster of determinants ...

Modulation, via Protein-Protein Interactions, of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity through Redox Phosphoribulokinase Regulation
(2003)
Lebreton, Sandrine; Graciet, Emmanuelle; Gontero, Brigitte
Abstract:
The activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) embedded in the phosphoribulokinase (PRK).GAPDH.CP12 complex was increased 2-3-fold by reducing agents. This occurred by interaction with PRK as the cysteinyl sulfhydryls (4 SH/subunit) of GAPDH within the complex were unchanged whatever the redox state of the complex. But isolated GAPDH was not activated. Alkylation plus mass spectrometry also showed that PRK had one disulfide bridge and three SH groups per monomer in the active oxidized complex. Reduction disrupted this disulfide bridge to give 2 more SH groups and a much more active enzyme. We assessed the kinetics and dynamics of the interactions between PRK and GAPDH/CP12 using biosensors to measure complex formation in real time. The apparent equilibrium binding constant for GAPDH/CP12 and PRK was 14 +/- 1.6 nm for oxidized PRK and 62 +/- 10 nm for reduced PRK. These interactions were neither pH- nor temperature-dependent. Thus, the dynamics of PRK.GAPDH.CP12 com...

The photoperiodic response of hypocotyl elongation involves regulation of CDF1 and CDF5 activity
(2020)
Martín, Guiomar; Veciana, Nil; Boix, Marc; Rovira, Arnau; Henriques, Rossana; Monte, Elena
Abstract:
Hypocotyl elongation relies on directional cell expansion, a process under light and circadian clock control. Under short photoperiods (SD), hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana follows a rhythmic pattern, a process in which circadian morning-to-midnight waves of the transcriptional repressors PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORS (PRRs) jointly gate PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF) activity to dawn. Previously, we described CYCLING DOF FACTOR 5 (CDF5) as a target of this antagonistic PRR/PIF dynamic interplay. Under SD, PIFs induce CDF5 accumulation specifically at dawn, when it promotes the expression of positive cell elongation regulators such as YUCCA8 to induce growth. In contrast to SD, hypocotyl elongation under long days (LD) is largely reduced. Here, we examine whether CDF5 is an actor in this photoperiod specific regulation. We report that transcription of CDF5 is robustly induced in SD compared to LD, in accordance with PIFs accumulating to higher levels in SD, and in co...

Winging it: key issues and perceptions around regulation and practice of aircraft maintenance in australian general aviation
(2020)
Naweed, Anjum; Kourousis, Kyriakos I.
Abstract:
The very diverse character of General Aviation (GA) within Australia poses challenges for its e ective management of risk and safety in the sector. Improvements for human performance and perceptions of safety within the maintenance environment are among the areas which regulators have targeted for continuous improvement. This paper provides a timely empirical exploration of maintenance engineer perspectives around: (1) Changes in the role of the regulator/regulation that have impacted the sector and diminished safe operations; and (2) specific practical and operational challenges that the GA industry must deal with to sustain safe operations going forward. A thematic analysis of transcribed qualitative data revealed five key themes and identified a number of key issues from sector changes including a decline in training and education, drift in working practices, and wider power-distance gap. Issues with auditing and bureaucratization, negative safety climate, and underlying values a...

A way forward: the future of Irish and European Union financial regulation
(2019)
Ahuja, Rishi; Barrett, Sean; Corbet, Shaen; Larkin, Charles
Abstract:
The Irish financial crisis through the period between 2008 and 2012 caused unprecedented damage to the national economy while generating substantial inequality and demographic issues through the austerity measures that followed. While large amounts of taxation has gone towards understanding the events leading up to the crisis, there has not been a concentrated effort to consolidate the lessons learned within the Irish context. This paper seeks to fill that gap, providing an overview of the key lessons learned from the Irish experience of the European financial crisis. First, we interrogate the domestic response and evaluate the immediate government intervention and longer-term investigation process through the national Banking Inquiry commissioned by the Irish government. Second, we focus on the broader domestic policy lessons learned from the crisis. Lastly, we briefly evaluate some of key changes in European policy that will in turn shape the future of Irish regulatory policy. We ...

PI Regulation of a Reaction-Diffusion Equation with Delayed Boundary Control
(2021)
Lhachemi, Hugo; Prieur, Christophe; Trélat, Emmanuel
Abstract:
The general context of this work is the feedback control of an infinite-dimensional system so that the closed loop system satisfies a fading-memory property and achieves the setpoint tracking of a given reference signal. More specifically, this paper is concerned with the Proportional Integral (PI) regulation control of the left Neumann trace of a one dimensional reaction-diffusion equation with a delayed right Dirichlet boundary control. In this setting, the studied reaction diffusion equation might be either open-loop stable or unstable. The proposed control strategy goes as follows. First, a finite dimensional truncated model that captures the unstable dynamics of the original infinite-dimensional system is obtained via spectral decomposition. The truncated model is then augmented by an integral component on the tracking error of the left Neumann trace. After resorting to the Artstein transformation to handle the control input delay, the PI controller is designed by pole shifting...

Flight crew evaluation of the flight time limitations regulation
(2021)
Efthymiou, Marina; Whiston, Sinead; O'Connell, John F.; Brown, Gavin D.
Abstract:
Fatigue has been a long-standing concern in modern aviation. The duty hours of those who operate (cabin crew and pilots) have increased significantly. In order to combat the effects of fatigue, operators must adhere to Flight Time Limitations (FTLs) strictly set by regulatory bodies. With advances in the science of fatigue, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in February 2016 altered the duty limits and rest periods. A quantitative selfreport survey design using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests of association and probit regressions with marginal effect calculations gathered the crew perceptions about the impact of the FTL regulation change to fatigue levels, reporting and safety/just culture. Participants (n = 794) were commercial cabin crew and pilots operating under European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations. 73.2% said they have not reported fatigue to their airline and 81.7% having operated fatigued. Scales on Fatigue Knowledge and Just/Safety Culture were...

Investigating the Circadian Regulation of the Inner Blood Retinal Barrier in Early and Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration
(2021)
Naylor, Aisling
Abstract:
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central visual impairment worldwide. It is a multifactorial condition leading to the painless, progressive loss of central vision. There are currently no treatments available for geographic atrophy (GA), the advanced stage of dry AMD. Hudson et al., 2019 demonstrated that the gene CDLN-5 is regulated by BMAL1 and the circadian clock. CDLN-5 encodes for claudin-5, one of the most enriched tight junction proteins in the inner blood retinal barrier (iBRB). Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in healthy human subjects demonstrated an increased permeability of the iBRB in the evening compared to the morning. Overall, these findings suggest that there may be an inner-retina derived component in the early pathophysiological changes associated with AMD and directly implicates claudin-5 as a key mediator of subsequent RPE pathology. To continue the clinical portion of this research, we are making a full assessment of circadian...

Development and psychometric evaluation of the adaptive functions of music listening scale
(2018)
Groarke, Jenny M.; Hogan, Michael J.
Abstract:
Music listening may serve many adaptive functions in everyday life. However, studies examining the relationship between the functions of music listening (FML) and wellbeing outcomes have produced mixed findings. The purpose of this study is to develop a new measure to assess music listening functions that is psychometrically robust, and suitable for outcomes-based research on music listening and wellbeing. Scale items were developed based on a literature review and a prior qualitative enquiry. The items were reviewed by four content experts in music psychology and scale development. Scale structure was investigated by EFA and CFA in two large samples of participants (N = 1,191, 17-66 years, M = 22.04, SD = 6.23, 326 males). Tests of dimensionality revealed a 46-item scale with 11 factors for the Adaptive Functions of Music Listening (AFML) scale. Namely, Stress Regulation, Anxiety Regulation, Anger Regulation, Loneliness Regulation, Rumination, Reminiscence, Strong Emotional Experie...

Abstract:
This paper represents a very early stage of a collaborative research project on transnational NT regulation. In this project, we seek to apply a multidisciplinary perspective to the question of regulation of nanotechnology (NT). We begin in Section I by considering the nature of NT and some risks it may pose as it is more fully developed and utilized over time. We next consider the nature of transnational "regulation," suggesting the range of legal, institutional and substantive forms this term can encompass. Because NT and its regulation are (like our project) at such early stages of development, we emphasize the importance of regulatory flexibility. In Section II, we consider a series of strategic choices that must be faced in designing transnational regulation in any issue area, including NT; these include the level and scope of regulation, the actors authorized to promulgate regulatory norms, the legal and institutional form of regulation, and finally its substantive...

The Regulatory State and Beyond
(2015)
Scott, Colin
Abstract:
In John Braithwaite’s remarkable set of contributions to thinking about and practice of regulation over four decades the state is one of the central organising concepts. This is true for most thinking about regulation more generally, but for a variety of reasons. In Braithwaite’s case the focus on the state may lie with his original interests as a criminologist, where there is a strong consensus that the responsibility for regulating criminal behaviour not only lies with the state, but provides a core rationale for the existence of the state as monopolist over legitimate use of coercive power. Just as that consensus has broken down with the privatization of some aspects of prisons and policing systems in various countries, so the agreement around the centrality of the state in regulation has been challenged. In this chapter I argue that while some, including myself, have seen in Braithwaite’s early, and highly significant research on the role of the state in regulation, a tendency t...

Abstract:
One might say the object of regulation is to set and maintain the acceptable limits of what is being regulated. To set the minimum standard that is compatible with the social and ethical. norms, as interpreted by the competent authority which could be at local, national or international level, depending on the source of its legitimacy. This process is a constantly evolving one, involving the identification of minimum standards and optimum practices. A second objective of regulation is surely to provide public reassurance, which means that society must be able to observe the process of regulation and be persuaded that that it is subject to ongoing surveillance. This must involve the monitoring, recording and reviewing of optimum practices to feed back into the-regulatory scheme. Regulation seeks to achieve these objectives by using a structured approach, identifying key principles and practices - building pillars of regulation. Essentially there are two stages: (i) establishing princ...

Introduction. The present thesis examines the influence of individual differences in emotion regulation style on stress responsivity. Three key methodological refinements were incorporated to help elucidate if individual differences in emotion regulation influences cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to psychological stress. First, a standardised laboratory stress paradigm was employed, yielding more reliable assessment of CVR; emotion regulation research rarely incorporates a valid resting baseline measurement. Second, more sophisticated indices of physiological arousal were assessed, such as blood pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance; emotion regulation research typically uses skin conductance responses as an index of physiological responding. Third, this research examined the underlying patterns of hemodynamic responding. Methods. Five empirical studies are reported. Study 1 examined associations between habitual emotion regulation style, perceived stress, and ps...

Abstract:
The global financial crisis came in the wake of significant reforms to the structures, processes, powers, and rules of the regulatory regimes for financial markets in many of the countries adversely affected by the crash. The global financial crisis came in the wake of significant reforms to the structures, processes, powers, and rules of the regulatory regimes for financial markets in many of the countries adversely affected by the crash. In this Article, I follow the logic of an argument that regulation necessarily has political dimensions, even where it may appear technical. I am asking questions about how we might best think about accountability processes that encompass both democratic and technical dimensions of regulation and how their respective concerns might be combined with-in accountability regimes. Conceiving of accountability as embracing both technical and political requirements draws us towards a parallel world in which the efficiency and effectiveness of regulation i...

Abstract:
The Academy's review, 'A new pathway for the regulation and governance of health research' was published in January 2011. The report was prepared by a working group, chaired by Professor Sir Michael Rawlins FMedSci, convened in response to an invitation from Government to review the regulation and governance of UK health research involving human participants, their tissue or their data.The report proposes four key principles that should underpin the regulation and governance framework around health research in the UK, and makes recommendations to:Create a new Health Research Agency (HRA) to rationalise the regulation and governance of all health research. Include within the HRA a new National Research Governance Service to facilitate timely approval of research studies by NHS Trusts. Improve the UK environment for clinical trials.Provide access to patient data that protects individual interests and allows approved research to proceed effectively. Embed a culture that ...

Integrating Regulatory Governance and Better Regulation as Reflexive Governance

Integrating Regulatory Governance and Better Regulation as Reflexive Governance
(2019)
Scott, Colin
Abstract:
Policies of better regulation originate with the Reagan and Thatcher governments whose small government agendas led them to become concerned that there might be a tendency to ratchet up the obligations and costs on businesses associated with regulation with little by way of counterveiling mechanisms to curb the urge to increase regulatory burdens (as they saw it). Whereas early policies on both sides of the Atlantic set down objectives of lifting regulatory burdens and deregulation, the language and ethos changed over time. An early foray for the EU in the 1990s targeted simplification of legislation in the internal market (the SLIM programme) and by the late 1990s the OECD, the EU and many of the OECD States were talking about Better Regulation. The EU programmes was briefly restyled as SMART regulation (2010-14), but soon came back to Better. There is a large body of scholarly and policy work concerned with regulatory governance, conceptualising what it is, and is not, how regulat...

Abstract:
The rise in zero hours contracts in liberal market economies (LMEs) has recently received much attention with calls for regulation to protect workers. LMEs typically adopt flexible labour market policies that are less regulated than coordinated market economies (CMEs) as a competitive advantage. In this paper we examine nuanced differences in the nature and regulation of zero hours work in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. With an increased diffusion of zero hours work in both countries, we examine the different responses taken by these similar LMEs to this contemporary employment issue. We examine whether, as expected in an LME context, there is weak regulation in both countries and the factors influencing this. We find subtle but important differences between regulations of zero hours contracts. We conclude by discussing the possible implications of the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU) (Brexit) for the regulation of precarious work

Regulating the Information Society: Data Protection and Ireland's Internet Industry
(2020)
McIntyre, T.J.
Abstract:
Ireland has become a global hub for personal information as internet firms headquartered in Dublin collectively gather and use information on billions of users. Has Ireland been a responsible steward of the data these firms control? This chapter examines the approach taken by the Irish state, tracing the evolution of data protection governance and its application to the internet industry. The chapter starts by outlining the regulatory context. It argues that regulation in this area has been hampered by a weak legislative framework and significant under-resourcing. Using Facebook as a case study, it examines how this has in turn prompted international pressure for stronger Irish regulation. The Irish government response is discussed, and the chapter assesses the impact of the resulting commitment to “best in class” data protection regulation. The chapter concludes by arguing that the state has yet to fully engage with the wider issues presented by its new role as a key jurisdiction f...

Overview of changes to food labelling introduced under the new food information regulation. Issue 1
(2012)
Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI)
Abstract:
The current rules on food labelling were first introduced in 1979 and while they were amended and consolidated over the years, market conditions, eating habits and consumer expectations have changed considerably since their publication. Work on a major revision of the rules began in the European Union (EU) some time ago and culminated in the publication in the EU Official Journal on 22nd November, 2011 of Regulation No (EU) 1169/20111 on the provision of food information to consumers. This new Regulation which replaces the current rules, sets out the requirements for the provision of food information to the consumer as well as setting out the requirements with regard to the provision of nutrition information on foodstuffs. The Regulation came into effect on 13th December, 2011. It will apply from 13th December, 2014, with the exception of point (l) of Article 9(1) (mandatory nutrition declaration), which will apply from 13th December, 2016, and Part B of Annex VI (specific requireme...

A Meta-Regulatory Turn? Control and Learning in Regulatory Governance
(2015)
Scott, Colin
Abstract:
The steering of organisational and individual behaviour is a central challenge of contemporary governance. This is important not only for regulation of such matters as the environment, employment relations and financial markets, but also for issues of fundamental rights concerning the behaviour not only of businesses but also of government. Long experience suggests that highly prescriptive approaches to regulation are frequently ineffective or even counterproductive. One reason for this is that we show considerable ingenuity in turning demands to change our behaviour to suit our own interests rather than meeting the public interest. Other reasons include the limited knowledge about the behaviours to be steered and limited capacity for monitoring and enforcement held by governments. An alternative way to think about the problem of steering behaviour is to reduce the emphasis on top down control and seek to exploit the capacity of targeted individuals and organisations both to regulat...

The impact of regulation on credit unions in Ireland
(2007)
Kelly, Kevin
Abstract:
This research paper presents results on the impact of regulation on credit unions in Ireland. The researcher seeks to answer following research question. How are credit unions in Ireland regulated and what is the impact of this regulation. To help answer this question it was necessary to simplify the research question further into research objectives. A critical review of the literature identified the answer to the first part of the question. The Financial regulator now regulates credit unions and the main piece of legislation is the Credit Union Act 1997. Following a review of the possible methods of primary research, it was decided that a questionnaire would be circulated to credit unions in order to determine the answer to the second part of the research question. Based on an analysis of 42 questionnaire replies, the findings of this research indicate that credit unions believe that a change in the credit union movement is required and that regulation is both necessary and import...

Technologically captured? How material agency sustains interaction between regulators and industrial actors
(2016)
Finch, John; Geiger, Susi; Reid, Emma
Abstract:
This paper examines how environmental regulation is made operational when it legislates for modifications rather than the banning of products or substances. The continued circulation of such products draws attention to the heterogeneous conditions of their use and allows industry actors to accumulate evidence of the products' polluting effects over time. We find that this agentic quality of materials – including products and sites of application – is a vital and so far largely ignored dimension in the relationship between environmental regulation and innovation. This is captured in a process we term interactive stabilization, which describes how material agency becomes a focus for interactions between regulatory and industry actors. We develop our argument through an in-depth case study of the environmental regulation of production chemistry and identify three interactive processes: formulating regulatory principles; operationalizing these principles through technical documenta...
