Large-scale, design-based research facilitating iterative change in Irish schools - the Trinity Access Approach
(2022)Trinity Access (TA) is a post-primary initiative, in the authors’ university, that offers programmes for students, teachers and schools in areas of socio-economic disadvantage. The aims of the programme include helping ... -
Applying ecosystem accounting to develop a risk register for peatlands and inform restoration targets at catchment scale: a case study from the European region
(2022)Combining natural capital accounting tools and ecosystem restoration approaches builds on existing frameworks to track changes in ecosystem stocks and flows of services and benefits as a result of restoration. This approach ... -
Children at transition from primary school reflecting on what schools are for ??? narratives of connectedness, (mis)recognition and becoming
(2021)This article draws on a school-based case study carried out in Scotland with 11–12-year-olds reflecting on their views and experiences of school before transitioning from primary to secondary school. Drawing on Honneth’s ... -
Characters, coadjoint orbits and Duistermaat-Heckman integrals
(2021)The asymptotics of characters of irreducible representations of a compact Lie group G for large values of the scaling factor k are given by Duistermaat-Heckman (DH) integrals over coadjoint orbits of G. This phenomenon ... -
Lactobacillus spp. for Gastrointestinal Health: Current and Future Perspectives
(2022)In recent decades, probiotic bacteria have become increasingly popular as a result of mounting scientific evidence to indicate their beneficial role in modulating human health. Although there is strong evidence associating ... -
A review on conductive polymers and their hybrids for flexible and wearable thermoelectric applications
(2021)There is a growing demand for flexible and wearable next-generation electronic devices that must be capable of bending and stretching under mechanical deformation. In this regard, energy harvesting technologies have ... -
Towards Integration of Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D h-BN) in Energy Conversion and Storage Devices
(2022)The prominence of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) nanomaterials in the energy industry has recently grown rapidly due to their broad applications in newly developed energy systems. This was necessitated ... -
Nanoengineering Approaches to Tune Thermal and Electrical Conductivity of a BiSbTe Thermoelectric Alloy
(2022)Nanoengineering of thermoelectric (TE) materials is an effective approach todecouple their electronic and thermal transport properties, hence enhancing their TE efficiency. Nanoengineering strategies can significantly ... -
Moralised Definitions of Freedom, Autonomy, and the Personal Value of Opportunities to Perform Morally Impermissible Actions
(2021)Are the opportunities to perform morally impermissible actions valuable? And, if so, has their value any role to play in normative arguments? In this essay I examine the personal value of opportunities to perform morally ... -
Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment
(2022)This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ... -
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical effectiveness, safety, adherence and risk compensation in all populations.
(2022)Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of the effectiveness and safety of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV. Methods: Databases (PubMed, ... -
Pollinator selection against toxic nectar as a key facilitator of a plant invasion
(2022)Plant compounds associated with herbivore defence occur widely in floral nectar and can impact pollinator health. We showed previously that Rhododendron ponticum nectar contains grayanotoxin I (GTX I) at concentrations ... -
From science to society: implementing effective strategies to improve wild pollinator health
(2022)Despite a substantial increase in scientific, public and political interest in pollinator health and many practical conservation efforts, incorporating initiatives across a range of scales and sectors, pollinator health ... -
Cardiovascular signal entropy predicts all-cause mortality: evidence from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
(2022)In this study, the relationship between cardiovascular signal entropy and the risk of seven-year all-cause mortality was explored in a large sample of community-dwelling older adults from The Irish Longitudinal Study on ... -
DPCat: Specification for an Interoperable and Machine-Readable Data Processing Catalogue Based on GDPR
(2022)The GDPR requires Data Controllers and Data Protection Officers (DPO) to maintain a Register of Processing Activities (ROPA) as part of overseeing the organisation’s compliance processes. The ROPA must include information ... -
Title: Understanding a Low Vitamin D State in the Context of COVID-19
(2022)While a low vitamin D state has been associated with an increased risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 in addition to an increased severity of COVID-19 disease, a causal role is not yet established. Here, we review the evidence ... -
Variability and agreement of frailty measures and risk of falls, hospital admissions and mortality in TILDA
(2022)Little is known about the within-person variability of different frailty instruments, their agreement over time, and whether use of repeat assessments could improve the strength of associations with adverse health outcomes. ... -
Exercise-Based Dysphagia Rehabilitation for Adults with Oesophageal Cancer: a Systematic Review
(2022)Background: Dysphagia is prevalent in oesophageal cancer with significant clinical and psychosocial complications. The purpose of this study was i) to examine the impact of exercise-based dysphagia rehabilitation on clinical ... -
Tooth loss and cognitive decline in community dwelling older Irish adults: A cross-sectional cohort study
(2022)Objectives: To investigate whether tooth loss and related loss of occluding tooth pairs, were associated with cognitive decline in a group of community dwelling older men and women from Ireland. Methods: A group of 2508 ... -
