New insights into the regulation of TLR signaling
(2006)
O'NEILL, LUKE ANTHONY JOHN
Abstract:
peer-reviewed
Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation is dictated by a number of factors including the ligand itself and the localization of the receptor, in terms of expression profile and subcellular localization and the signal transduction pathway that has been activated. Recent work into TLR signal transduction has revealed complex regulation at a number of different levels including regulation by phosphorylation, targeted degradation, and sequestration of signaling molecules. Here, we describe recent advances that have been made in our understanding of how TLR signaling is regulated at the biochemical level.

Estrogen regulation of the Potassium Channel KCNQ1:KCNE3 in Colonic Epithelium
(2013)
Rapetti-Mauss, Raphael
Abstract:
<p><strong>Background:</strong> The KCNQ1:KCNE3 K+ channel is an essential component of the Cl" secretion machinery in the distal colon. This channel provides the driving force for apical Cl’ secretion by basolateral recycling of K+. The steroid hormone estrogen (17|3-estradiol, E2) has previously been reported to exert a female specific antisecretory response in colonic crypts through the inhibition of the KCNQ1:KCNE3 channel. The purpose of this study was to uncover and describe molecular mechanisms of estrogen regulation of KCNQ1 channel function and its consequences for intestinal Cl' secretion, colonocyte proliferation and migration. The thesis reveals a novel estrogen regulation of KCNQ1:KCNE3 activity by channel endocytosis and complex dissociation.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> Isolated rat colonic crypts as well as the colonic cell line HT29cll9A (HT29) were used to investigate estrogen effects on Cl' secretion and...

The Conceptual and Constitutional Challenge of Transnational Private Regulation
(2015)
Scott, Colin; Cafaggi, Fabrizio; Senden, Linda
Abstract:
Transnational private regulation (TPR) is a key aspect of contemporary governance. At first glance TPR regimes raise significant problems of legitimacy because of a degree of detachment from traditional government mechanisms. A variety of models have emerged engaging businesses, associations of firms, and NGOs, sometimes in hybrid form and often including governmental actors. Whilst the linkage to electoral politics is a central mechanism of legitimating governance activity, we note there are also other mechanisms including proceduralization and potentially also judicial accountability. But these public law forms do not exhaust the set of such mechanisms, and we consider also the contribution of private law forms and social and competitive structures which may support forms of legitimation. The central challenge identified concerns the possibility of reconceptualizing the global public sphere so as better to embrace TPR regimes in their myriad forms, so that they are recognized as h...

A comparison of the effects of decommissioning, catch quotas and mesh regulation in restoring a depleted fishery.
(2011)
Hillis, J. Paul; Wiium, Vilhjalmur
Abstract:
Possible means of rehabilitating the manY depleted fisheries in European waters now form a topic of great interest and relevance. This paper uses bioeconomic analysis to predict returns for the Irish Sea Nephrops fishery from rationalisation through three types of management regulations. These regulation measures are (a) decommissioning. i.e., reducing fleet size, (b) catch quotas while maintaining fleet size, and (c) mesh size regulation. The analysis clearly demonstrates the gains to be obtained from rationalising the Nephrops fishery. In addition. socio-economic implications of performance of the fisheries compared to potential profitability is extremely poor. Substantially improved returns would result frmn strong management control. However, trying to preserve social equity, while theoretically possible, would necessitate complicated cunstraints to the operation of the management system.

Report on the regulation of practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine in Ireland.
(2002)
O'Sullivan, Tim
Abstract:
This is a period of growing interest in issues related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and its regulation. This report has been written in the context of this interest and in response to a request from the Department of Health and Children. It follows a Forum on regulatory issues that was held at the IPA in June 200I and attended by many CAM practitioners. The Minister for Health and Children asked the Institute to build on the discussions at the Forum by preparing a report on possible options in the regulation of CAM practitioners in Ireland. The focus of the report is on regulatory and policy issues in general. It is not within the Institute's competence or brief to comment on more specific clinical or technical issues. CAM therapies are extremely varied and complex and are practised by a very wide range of practitioners so it would be very difficult to find a totally satisfactory, all-encompassing definition. Paragraph 1.2 sets out various current definitions.

Regulation of the immunomodulatory cytokine IL-10 by Twist2
(2014)
Van den Bosch, Mirjam W. M.
Abstract:
THESIS 10518
Dysregulation of cytokines can lead to infectious and inflammatory diseases. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is known to control pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-12. The regulation of IL-10 is complex and it has been shown previously that the human tumour suppressor PDCD4 is a negative regulator of IL-10 production. Following LPS stimulation, PDCD4 acts as a molecular switch whereby its degradation results in increased IL-10 production. In this study, I have examined in detail the regulation of PDCD4 in LPS- treated macrophages. I have shown that the mTOR pathway and proteosomal degradation are involved in LPS- induced PDCD4 degradation using rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, or the proteosomal inhibitors MG132, both of which block this response. Inhibition of PDCD4 degradation by rapamycin also decreased IL-10 and c-Maf expression, a transcription factor critical for IL-10 induction. I have alson found evidence through immunoprecipitation, of ...

Regulation of bovine beta-defensin expression
(2017)
Barry-Reidy, Anne
Abstract:
Beta-defensins are a class of host defence peptides with antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory roles. The bovine genome contains up to 57 putative beta-defensin genes in four syntenic clusters on different chromosomes. The regulation of expression of these pleiotropic molecules is still poorly explored. As beta-defensins are involved in bovine fertility, the overall aim of this project was to investigate the regulation of expression of beta-defensins in this context. We have bioinformatically analysed the proximal promoter regions of chromosome 13 beta-defensin genes from the bovine and other mammals to identify potential regulators of gene transcription for further investigation. Transcription factor binding site over-representation analysis of a beta-defensin cluster which is highly expressed in the male reproductive tract indicates enrichment of DNA binding sites for transcription factors important in regulating gene expression at this site. These include androgen recept...

Policing the press: the institutionalisation of independent press regulation in a liberal/north Atlantic media system
(2017)
Dunne, Stephen
Abstract:
In each of the media systems identified by Hallin and Mancini (2004), autonomy, professional norms and a public service ethic are central indicators of journalism professionalisation, with codes of ethics and accountability solutions, such as press councils, germane. In the Liberal North Atlantic system, where Ireland is placed by Hallin and Mancini, autonomy and professional norms are well established pillars in academia’s understanding of journalism. Indeed, the theoretical work on press and media systems (Siebert, Peterson and Schramm 1956; Merrill 1974; Altschull 1984; Habermas 1989; McQuail 2010) recognises these characteristics. The idea of a public service orientation via a system of media accountability opens up a potentially valuable avenue for examining the journalistic professionalisation process. In Liberal North Atlantic countries, non-institutionalised or informal self-regulation of the press is common, Hallin and Mancini argued. The literature, however, suggests this ...

A role for microRNA-21 in the regulation of gastrointestinal health and disease
(2017)
Johnston, Daniel
Abstract:
THESIS 11478
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a crucial site of innate and adaptive immune regulation, balancing tolerance of beneficial commensal microorganisms and reaction to invading pathgens. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), are vital sensors in the orchestration of these immune responses to maintain intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, these responses must be tightly regulated to ensure an appropriate level of response. There are multiple classes of regulators including non-coding RNA microRNAs which regulate mRNA expression. In this project, we sought to explore the role of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in intestinal health and disease. miR-21 is considered to be an anti-inflammatory regulator in various contexts in immunity, with the negative regulation of TLR4 signalling being of particular interest. However, it has also been shown to be deleterious in cancer and its expression is elevated in patients with several inflammatory disease...

Transcriptional Regulation and Epigenetics in Cardiovascular Cells: Role of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor
(2019)
Deng, Lisa; Hein, Lutz; Lother, Achim
Abstract:
<p>The original book chapter is available at https://www.intechopen.com/</p>
<p>The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, plays an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation or histone modifications in addition to the DNA sequence are decisive regulators of cell type-specific transcriptional activity and gene expression by controlling chromatin accessibility. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge about the impact of MR on gene expression in cardiovascular cells. We discuss studies investigating the interaction of MR with epigenetic mechanisms or other transcription factors and their implications for the cardiovascular system. Finally, we compare mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by MR and other nuclear transcription factors. In conclusion, MR is an important regulator of gene expression in cardiovascular cells. Potential mechanisms of cell...

Individual Blade Pitch Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Load Mitigation and Power Regulation
(2020)
Fitzgerald, Breiffni; Basu, Biswajit; Sarkar, Saptarshi
Abstract:
This paper proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore wind turbines. Individual blade pitch control types of algorithms for offshore wind turbines are sparse in the literature though there are expected benefits from experience on such types of controllers for onshore wind turbines. Wind turbine blade pitch actuators are primarily used to maintain rated power production at above-rated wind speeds and therefore, control algorithms are usually developed only to regulate power production. The scope of reducing structural loads using individual pitch control has been proved to be very promising over the last decade and numerous individual pitch control algorithms have been proposed by researchers. However, reduction in structural loads often results in a degradation in power production and regulation. Furthermore, improving power regulation often has a detrimental...

The New General Block Exemption Regulation and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Smoke without Fire?
(2015)
Ferri, Delia
Abstract:
This article examines Commission Regulation (EU) N°651/2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 1o8 of the Treaty, better known as 2014 General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER) vis-a-vis the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). In particular, it frames the GBER within the context of the European disability policy and discusses whether the new GBER complies with the international obligations that the EU has undertaken by concluding the UNCRPD. This article focuses on the GBER provisions concerning aid to employment and training of workers with disabilities and aid compensating for the additional costs of employing workers with disabilities, comparing and contrasting them with those included in the former 2oo8 GBER. It also comments on the GBER sections related to training aid and to aid for culture and heritage conservation. Both sections contain explicit references to pe...

Regulating havens: the role of hard and soft governance of tax experts in conditions of secrecy and low regulation
(2020)
Killian, Sheila; O'Regan, Philip; Lynch, Ruth; Laheen, Martin; Karavidas, Dionysios
Abstract:
International tax governance is significant societally as it impacts both inequality and the capacity of governments to deliver on their social contracts. Tax experts forma key, under-researched, heterogeneous element of the tax ecosystem, subject to a range of hard and soft governance influences. While problematic tax regimes are appropriately identified by reference to lax regulation or financial opacity, few empirical studies explore how operating in these jurisdictions affects the governance of tax experts individually. Using international survey data, we find that the influence of soft governance on tax experts varies across conditions of secrecy or lax regulation. Soft governance, including that of the workplace and the profession, is most influential in challenging regimes. Beyond a tipping point of economic freedom, regulatory knowledge and the threat of sanction become less influential. Elements along the continuum between hard and soft governance interact in a non-homogeno...

Discourse and religious doctrine: Professional social work and the moral regulation of the body in Roman Catholic Ireland
(2020)
Flynn, Susan
Abstract:
The moral and practical regulation of sexuality and associated risk has been traditionally bound by Catholic religious doctrine in the Republic of Ireland. Over the last century, however, the emergence of professional social work as a state risk management strategy around sexuality is evident. This tallies with the disrepute of the Church following high-profile abuse scandals and publicized tragedies tied to institutional segregation. This paper presents theoretically informed critical commentary, through uptake of the Foucauldian notion of discourse. It concludes that critique of the regulation of sexuality, should be qualified on three counts. Firstly, tensions between Catholicism and social work remain. Secondly, wariness toward the operation of power is requisite. Thirdly, both that which is said, and unsaid, enlightens present debates.

Timulak, Ladislav; Richards, Derek
Abstract:
Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) is effective in treating anxiety and depression. Research on how these interventions operate is scarce. This study explored whether emotion regulation skills and positive beliefs about rumination were affected by iCBT and if these constructs mediated changes in depression and anxiety. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a pragmatic randomized waitlist-controlled trial testing the effectiveness of supported iCBT. Adults with at least mild symptoms of depression or anxiety were included. Depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), positive beliefs about rumination (PBRS-A) and two emotion regulation skills: cognitive reappraisal (ERQ-A) and expressive suppression (ERQ-S), were measured at baseline and 8-weeks post-treatment. Results: The analyses included 358 participants, 71% were female. Median age was 29. Linear mixed models showed statistically significant differences along ERQ-A in favor of the iCBT group (b?=?1.83, S...

Evaluation of Phase Change Materials for Thermal Regulation Enhancement of Building Integrated Photovoltaics
(2010)
Hasan, A.; McCormack, Sarah; Huang, M.; Norton, Brian
Abstract:
Regulating the temperature of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) using phase change materials (PCMs) reduces the loss of temperature dependent photovoltaic (PV) efficiency. Five PCMs were selected for evaluation all with melting temperatures 25 ± 4 C and heat of fusion between 140 and 213 kJ/kg. Experiments were conducted at three insolation intensities to evaluate the performance of each PCM in four different PV/PCM systems. The effect on thermal regulation of PV was determined by changing the (i) mass of PCM and (ii) thermal conductivities of the PCM and PV/PCM system. A maximum temperature reduction of 18 C was achieved for 30 min while 10 C temperature reduction was maintained for 5 h at 1000 W/m2 insolation.

Female sexuality in Ireland 1920 to 1940: Construction and regulation
(1999)
Leane, Máire
Abstract:
The central objective of this study is an examination of discourses of Irish female sexuality and of the apparatuses of control designed for its surveillance and regulation in the period nineteen-twenty to nineteen-forty. It is argued that during this period sexuality, and in particular female sexuality, became established as an icon of national identity. This thesis demonstrated that this identity was given symbolic embodiment in the discursive construction of an idealised, feminine subject, a subject who had purity and sexual morality as her defining characteristics. It is argued that female roles and in particular female sexuality, emerged as contested issues in post-colonial Ireland. This is not unusual given that women are frequently constructed in nationalist discourses as repositories of cultural heritage and symbols of national identity (Kandiyoti 1993). This thesis demonstrates that the Catholic Church played a central role in this process of establishing female sexuality a...

The impact of carbohydrate ingestion on the regulation of fat oxidation following exercise
(2007)
Sarsfield, Fiona
Abstract:
Purpose: To determine the impact of carbohydrate (CHO)ingestion on the regulation of fat oxidation following glycogen lowering exercise. Methods: Six males (age 23.4 2 1.7y, vo2peak 58.0 2 2.1 ml.kg-'.min-') participated in the study. Subjects performed an incremental maximal cycle ergometer test and a verification trial to determine the workload corresponding to 75%V02peak. On separate days, subjects exercised at 75% vO2peak for 90 min. Following exercise, subjects consumed either a CHO drink or a flavoured placebo (PLA). Substrate oxidation was measured for I h after exercise using indirect calorimetry. Before, immediately after, and A h after exercise, subjects had a muscle biopsy taken from the vastus lateralis. Results: Subjects exercised at a similar %VO2peak during both the CHO (71.5 2 I -8% v02peak) and the PLA (72.5 2 1.8%VO2peak) trials. Energy expended during and following exercise was similar between trials. The contribution of fat towards energy expenditure ...

Institutional change and conflict regulation : the Anglo-Irish Agreement (1985) and the mechanisms of change in Northern Ireland
(2010)
Todd, Jennifer
Abstract:
The mechanisms of institutional change identified in comparative studies of industrial policy and welfare state development are also to be found in processes of intergovernmental ethnic conflict regulation. This article shows how the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement set in place a very thin layer of intergovernmental institutions which started an institutional momentum, opening new political opportunities, changing political expectations, and thus paving the way for the much more radical political and institutional changes that were to follow. It uses new data to show how the elites who initiated the process conceived of it and to identify the mechanisms producing change.

Hemodynamic regulation of occludin and ZO-1: effect on barrier function
(2006)
Collins, Nora
Abstract:
The vascular endothelium constitutes a highly effective fluid and solute barrier through the regulated apposition of tight junction protein complexes between adjacent endothelial cells. As endothelial cell-mediated functions and pathology are sensitive to hemodynamic forces (cyclic strain and shear stress), we hypothesised a dynamic regulatory link between endothelial tight junction assembly/function and hemodynamic stimuli. We have investigated this hypothesis via examination of the precise effects of cyclic strain on the expression, modification, and function o f occludin and ZO-1, pivotal components o f the tight junction complex. Moreover, the mechanotransduction pathway by which tight junction regulation occurs was also investigated. For these studies, cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) were subjected to physiological levels o f equibiaxial cyclic strain (0 or 5% strain, 60 cycles/min, 24 h). In response to strain, protein expression o f both occludin and ZO-1 i...

Hemodynamic regulation of metalloendopeptidases EC3.4; 24.15 and EC3.4; 24.16: expression and function in the vascular endothelium
(2005)
Cotter, Eoin J.
Abstract:
Hemodynamic forces, namely shear stress and cyclic strain, have been well characterised as modulators of vascular endothelial function, and have been assigned an important role in the maintainence of vascular tone, haemostasis, and regulation of vascular growth and health. They exert their influence in part by effecting changes in the production and release of vasoactive compounds by the endothelium, and by effecting changes in the levels and activity of various enzymes. Thimet oligopeptidase (EC3.4.24.15, EP24.15) and neurolysin (EC3.4.24.16, EP24.15) are closely related zinc metalloendopeptidases that have been shown to be expressed and active in the vascular endothelium. Their substrates include the vasoactive peptides bradykinin and angiotensin I, which have been identified as important regulators of both blood pressure and angiogenic processes. Other related peptidases, namely endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), have been shown to be regu...

Goals, adaptive self-regulation, and psychosocial adjustment to lower limb amputation: A longitudinal study
(2012)
Coffey, Laura
Abstract:
Lower limb amputation is a life-changing event that can cause significant disruptions in many important areas of existence. Although a substantial minority of individuals suffer from emotional difficulties following this procedure, most adapt successfully to the losses and limitations incurred, with some achieving positive change and growth as a result. According to self-regulation theory, the physical, social and psychological upheaval caused by amputation is likely to disturb progress towards goal attainment, which may leave individuals vulnerable to negative psychosocial outcomes if they do not regulate their goals in response to these challenges. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationships between goal disturbance, tenacious goal pursuit (TGP), flexible goal adjustment (FGA), and various positive and negative psychosocial outcomes (participation, positive and negative affect, quality of life, psychosocial adjustment to amputation, depressive symptomatology) in...

Abstract:
Background: Medicine is recognised as a dominant source of governmentality and social regulation, and although nursing has been implicated in the same process, analytical work in this area has been sparse. Objectives: The article aims to present an analysis of nursing records in order to understand the structural and social processes that mediate the texts. Methods: 45 sets of nursing records drawn from four clinical sites in Ireland were subjected to a discourse analysis. Results: This article focuses on two main themes that were derived from data: (i) the manner in which nurses controlled, regulated and invigilated patients' activities of daily living and (ii) the way in which activities of daily living were mediated by a biomedical worldview in the clinical settings. Through the organising framework of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), normative social practices relating to hygiene, eating and drinking, sleeping and so forth were surveyed and monitored within clinical setti...
