Factors affecting the Leaching of Nitrate to Groundwater in the Republic of Ireland
Authors: Thorn R. H.
Published: October 2023

The results of a field investigation into the factors affecting the leaching of nitrate to groundwater in the Republic of Ireland are presented. The leaching of nitrate is shown to be affected by the amount of fertiliser nitrogen applied and the number of applications. No clear relationship was found between soil texture and the amount of nitrate leached and the leaching of mineralised and nitrified nitrogen occurred in only a small number of plots. The data on the effect that the amount of infiltration had on the amount of nitrate leached were inconclusive but dilution was shown to have a marked effect on the concentration of nitrate in recharge. The study found that the amounts of nitrate leached beneath grassland receiving up to 210 kg of fertiliser nitrogen ha-1 were small but that above 210 kg ha-1 the amounts leached were very variable.

Property and the Institutional Investor in Ireland
Authors: MacLaran Andrew
Published: October 2023

The built environment exists to accommodate the specialised functions characteristic of urban areas, and its development depends upon the capacity of built space to act as a vehicle for generating profits for those interests associated with the property sector. As an industry which ties up large quantities of capital in a fixed form over a long time period, it requires long term investors to fund such activity. In recent years, pension funds and life assurance companies have emerged as major owners of urban land and buildings in Ireland, and this paper investigates the rationale for their engagement in the property sector.
The spatial distribution of turloughs
Authors: Coxon C. E.
Published: October 2023

Preliminary observations are made on the distribution of turloughs (seasonal lakes) on the Irish Carboniferous Limestone. The majority of turloughs are located on well-bedded, pure, grey calcarenite, lithologically similar to the Burren Limestone. In contrast, turloughs are not found on impure, shaly Calp limestone, or on the massive Waulsortian bank limestone. The purity and well-developed bedding of the Burren-type limestone may render it particularly susceptible to karstification, favouring the development of turloughs. Structural geology is not thought to play an important role in the siting and orientation of turloughs.Turloughs tend to occur in glacial depositional landscapes with gently undulating relief. The area surrounding a turlough is usually soil-covered, but limited evidence suggests that the glacial drift is relatively thin and permeable. Thus the absence of turloughs from some areas of suitable bedrock is thought to be due to thick glacial drift (e.g. east of Portlaoise), or impermeable drift (e.g. in the northern drumlin belt).
An Examination of the Characteristics of Turloughs, using Muitivariate Statistical Techniques
Authors: Coxon C. E.
Published: October 2023

An inventory of turloughs (temporary lakes) on the Irish Carboniferous Limestone has been made, and their characteristics examined from field observations and cartographic evidence. The characteristics of sixty turloughs which function at the present day were summarised by a series of indices, and subjected to cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis. Separate groupings of the turloughs on the basis of morphology, deposits and vegetation were compared, and these three aspects of the turloughs were found to be inter-related. The turlough floor vegetation is related to depth of flooding, becoming increasingly dominated by marsh plants as the depth increases to approximately three metres, but some of the deepest turloughs, and those with variable depth due to undulating floors, have a short duration of flooding, and a floor vegetation dominated by dry land ruderals. The relationship between deposits and vegetation also appears to be related to duration of flooding, peat and marl being associated with a longer duration, and sand, silt, clay and diamicton being associated with a shorter duration.The turloughs have been grouped into five clusters on the basis of all of the characteristics examined, and although there are indications that the variation is, at least partly, continuous rather than discrete, the clusters appear to provide a useful summary of the data.
Non-agricultural employment in northwestern Ireland: A peripheral region in the 1970s
Authors: Grimes Seamus
Published: October 2023

Considerable spatial variation characterized the pattern of return migration and subsequent house construction during the 1970s in the northwest. Ireland's poorest and most peripheral region. Underlying this pattern of growth and decline was a sectoral shift from agriculture to non-agricultural employment. The provision of such employment was greatly influenced by a regional policy which focussed primarily on promoting manufacturing industry and which resulted in a definite contrast between County Donegal and Sligo-Leitrim in the level of dispersal of grant-aided employment. Despite the emphasis on manufacturing an expanding public service ensured a considerable role for the service sector in creating employment, and while service employment was more closely linked with a variety of positive indicators it was somewhat less dispersed than manufacturing.
A method for evaluating wetlands — a case study on the Finn river catchment, County Monaghan, Ireland
Authors: Lockhart N. D.
Published: October 2023

When assessing the conservation value of ecological resources there is usually concensus in delimiting areas of outstanding national or international interest. Such sites include the Burren for its flora or Newgrange for its archaeological remains. Difficulties are encountered, however, when evaluating the relative merits of regionally or locally important sites, especially where there may be several more or less similar examples to be considered and where financial constraints limit the number of sites that can be acquired. This paper presents a simple, explicit site evaluation procedure for identifying representative priority sites. A vegetation survey of the wetlands in the Finn river catchment. County Monaghan, is used to exemplify the method but the procedure could have wider applications in the field of regional planning.
A Review of Sites Protected for Conservation in the Republic of Ireland
Authors: Alexander R. W. , Gahan S. V. E.
Published: October 2023

Approximately 0.5% of the land area of the Republic of Ireland is currently protected for nature conservation. The sites comprising this area have been assembled over a number of years by a variety of state and voluntary agencies and their acquisition has followed no unified policy. This paper examines the current provision for nature conservation in terms of the distribution of protected sites and the extent to which they are representative of the major Irish habitats. The views of many of the organisations involved in conservation, elicited through a questionnaire survey, are also presented. Future directions for nature conservation are discussed in the light of these findings and in the context of national economic stringencies.
The Definition and Classification of Medieval Irish Towns
Authors: Graham B. J.
Published: October 2023

The discussion attempts to elaborate a scheme within which the towns of medieval Ireland can be defined and categorised. Almost all the places identified were a product of Anglo-Norman initiative, characterised by the constitutional status of borough. But patently, many of these could not be regarded cither functionally or morphologically as towns. The scheme advanced here assesses the functional purpose of boroughs within the context of the feudal mode of production and distinguishes mercantile towns from small peasant towns from rural-boroughs and villae mercatoriae. The very few Gaelic towns identified arc also noted.
Agricultural policy and land tenure in an Irish marginal county
Authors: Grimes Seamus
Published: October 2023

This paper has a twofold objective. Firstly, recent land policy both at EEC and Irish government levels is evaluated from the perspective of the small family farm in County Leitrim. one of Ireland's most marginal farming areas. Secondly, recent changes in a small sample ot County Leitrim farms are analysed in terms of their land tenure and household characteristics. The data reveal considerable social and cultural obstacles to an efficient system of land transfer resulting in a low level of land mobility. The policy response to such marginal conditions has not been encouraging either at EEC or National government level. Inadequate EEC directives have resulted in failure and while some positive intervention has been achieved by Irish agenicies such as the Land Commission, there has been a general failure to show awareness of conditions on the ground. State intervention through the welfare code has resulted in a strong dependency mentality which has greatly reduced the incentive to exploit either individual or communal resources.

The Sydney Irish: A Hidden Ethnic Group
Authors: Grimes Seamus
Published: October 2023

The relative position of the Irish immigrant population in Australia has been radically transformed during the present century, from being the largest non-British ethnic group to one of the smallest immigrant minorities. The elimination of race-based barriers from immigration policy has given-rise to increased variation in the ethnic composition of Australian society. Recent Irish immigrants, often from rural parts of Ireland exhibit some degree of ethnicity during the early stages of their adaptation to the cosmopolitan environment of Sydney. Eventually, however, the operation of the housing market plays an effective role in dispersing ethnic friendship patterns.
The Distribution of Irish Emigration in the Decade Before the Great Famine
Authors: Johnson James H.
Published: October 2023

Previous attempts at mapping pre-famine emigration from Ireland are examined and two maps based on statistics calculated by Mokyr are presented. Problems with the calculation of emigration from census information are explored and a series of maps based on information collected by the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Condition of the Poorer Classes in Ireland are discussed. It is concluded that this pre-Famine emigration bore a closer resemblance to the sustained emigration that was to be established later in the second half of the nineteenth century than to movements during the Famine.

The Irish in Coventry: the Social Geography of a Relict Community
Authors: King Russell , Shuttleworth Ian , Strachan Alan
Published: October 2023

Few studies have been made of the social geography of recent Irish migration and settlement in Britain. This paper presents the results of an exploratory investigation of the evolving character and spatial distribution of the Irish community in Coventry. The Irish-born in Coventry have settled almost exclusively as part of the ‘second wave’ of Irish immigration to Britain, during the period between the 1930s and the 1960s. Census data enable the evolving spatial pattern to be described and some possible explanatory factors behind the changing distribution are discussed. Diocesan and school records arc used to supplement the census data, especially for the period since 1981. The suburbanisation of the Irish-born and the second generation has led to a decline in the Irish character of certain inner city neighbourhoods which have been recently resettled by Asian immigrants. The character of the community depends largely on its institutional expressions in the Catholic church and in various clubs. However, given the ageing character of the Irish-born, most of whom settled in Coventry in the 1950s, and the apathy of most of the second generation towards their Irish heritage, it is difficult to foresee a vibrant future for the community.
Cork Weather Past and Present: A Comparison between 1793 and the Late Twentieth Century on the Atlantic Fringe of Europe
Authors: Tyrrell John G.
Published: October 2023

The analysis of a personal weather diary kept by John Fitzgerald of Cork allows frequency analyses of daily weather conditions to be made that can be quantified and compared with Cork's present climatic regime. In many cases this comparison shows that much of Cork's weather in 1793 falls within the range of conditions that have been recorded over the past 30 years (1957–1986). But there are exceptions which point to both the early months as well as the summer of 1793 having been wetter and colder than today. Comparisons with conditions reported for Britain show that there were important differences between the two areas and possible explanations for these differences are offered in terms of patterns of atmospheric circulation.
The Hydrology and Caves of the Geevagh and Bricklieve Karsts, Co. Sligo
Authors: Thorn Richard , Drew David , Coxon Catherine
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the hydrology, both relict and modern, of the Geevagh and Bricklieve upland karsts in Co. Sligo. The Geevagh karst is characterised by point recharge via sinking streams running off juxtaposed non-carbonate rocks. The flow mechanism in the karst, as determined by water tracing and hydrochemical analysis, is both conduit and fissure and there is extensive cave development. The Bricklieve karst lacks an impermeable cover to concentrate flow and recharge is largely diffuse. Flow in this karst appears to be predominantly through a network of solutionally widened fissures and cave development is limited.

Development and Application of a Land Use Capability Classification for a Selected Area of Co. Laois
Authors: Eacrett Adrienne M. , Wilson Peter
Published: October 2023

A land use capability classification, based on soil, slope and altitudinal attributes, has been developed and applied to a selected area of Co. Laois. The actual land use of the area was also recorded, from a false-colour satellite image, in order to determine whether land was being used to its maximum capability. Actual land use is appropriate to the established capability classes over half of the area; 40% of land is being used below its potential and 9.5% above its potential. Underutilisation is attributed to land that is capable of arable production being used for grassland and is probably a function of traditional agricultural practices and farm structure. The classification does not imply that land should be always used at its maximum capability but seeks to determine the capability of land as an aid to land use planning decisions.
An Assessment of the Suitability of a Range of Chemical and Biological Tracers to Monitor the Movement of Septic Tank Effluents to Groundwater
Authors: Henry Hubert , Thorn Richard , Brady Eugene
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the main results of an investigation which examined the movement of septic tank effluent through soil/overburden to groundwater at three geologically and hydrogeologically differing sites using a range of chemical and biological tracers. The results of the study demonstrated that a single tracer type cannot be used to accurately monitor the movement of all effluent constituents through soils and groundwater. The results also indicated that the combined use of nitrate and/or bromide ions and endospores of Bacillus globigii would give an accurate indication of the movement of both the chemical and biological constituents of septic tank effluent.

Authors: Cawley Mary
Published: October 2023

Population change was traced for census town-size groups for the years 1971-1981 and 1981-1986. The 1970s were characterised by widespread growth; medium-size towns in particular increased their share of the total population and some redistribution from inner areas to suburbs took place. The years 1981-1986 were, by contrast, marked by lower growth rates, selective town decline and considerable continuity in distribution patterns.

Mobility in Rural Ulster: Travel Patterns, Car Ownership and Local Services
Authors: Nutley Stephen , Thomas Colin
Published: October 2023

Questionnaire surveys in three areas of rural Ulster sought information on private and public transport availability, household composition, local services, employment, and regular travel patterns. Car ownership is the most crucial factor in distinguishing people with high potential mobility from those with transport-related problems. Despite apparently high car ownership at a household level, private transport is not available to several social groups, nor to many individuals within car-owning families. Lack of mobility is poorly compensated by the distribution of local shops and other service outlets, and accessibility to the better facilities of distant towns is severely hindered by the variable standard of local bus services. Household and individual travel patterns are analysed, with respect to employment and a wide range of destination facilities. All study areas share the same basic characteristics and differ only in detail.
The Improvisional City: Valuing urbanity beyond the chimera of permanence
Authors: Till Karen , McArdle Rachel
Published: October 2023

So-called temporary uses of urban space, including ‘pop ups’ or meanwhile spaces, have recently attracted much attention by urban professionals as providing short-term ‘solutions’ to the ‘problem’ of vacancy. Yet the ways in which these urban innovations are conceived, studied and evaluated continue to reify a capitalist framework of development and conceptual understanding of the city that valorises exchange value and permanence. The result is that little empirical research exists about smaller projects that offer the city and its residents many non-monetary benefits. In this article, we argue that evaluating urban space according to the dichotomy of permanent or temporary land use is problematic: it misses the fluidity and multiple rhythms of how places are made and spaces experienced that are inherent to the regular life of any city. Rather than temporary use, we use the concept of ‘interim space’ to consider projects that may be responsive to local needs and available resources. Such initiatives often include ‘non-visible’ advantages which stem from use values, healthy place-making and creating shared spaces, offer alternative economies, and provide residents and guests with new ways of imagining their neighbourhood and city. To make our arguments, we analyse Granby Park, a ‘pop up’ park in north Dublin, initiated by the artistic collective Upstart that was open to the public in the summer of 2013, using qualitative research conducted before, during and after the official time the park was open. To begin a conversation about new frameworks of analysis that might capture the intricacies of interim urban spaces such as Granby Park, we conclude by offering a new concept, the ‘improvisional city’, to encourage more empirical research that takes seriously the many tangible and intangible benefits of these initiatives.
Rundale and 19th Century Irish Settlement: System, Space, and Genealogy
Authors: Flaherty Eoin
Published: October 2023

The rundale system has held a certain fascination for Irish geographers and historians due to its prevalence in the cartographic record and comparative absence from historical record. As a system of cultivation and landholding characterised by share allocation through collective governance, popular conflicting accounts have interpreted it both as a functional adaptation to the ‘ecological niche’ of the Irish Western Seaboard or, controversially, as a modern survival of an archaic mode of production of great antiquity. To date, little attempt has been made to impose conceptual clarity on the rundale system, and agreement on its essential characteristics is absent. Beginning with an overview of the current state of knowledge, this article presents a critical assessment of the manner in which rundale has been conceptualised, and the dominant methodologies employed in its study. This assessment reveals a number of features and mechanisms which researchers have identified as its defining characteristics. As a result, many have tended to present it as the product of singular ‘prime movers’ such as its unique demography, or to characterise it in strictly spatial terms as a morphological oddity. Following this critical appraisal, and drawing upon recent works in resilience ecology, an alternative model of rundale is presented in terms of its institutional, spatial, and historical complexity. This model suggests that the rundale system be defined as a configuration of spatial and social-structural characteristics, varying according to place and time.
Bouncing back: the political economy of crisis and recovery at the intersection of commercial real estate and global finance
Authors: Byrne Michael
Published: October 2023

A growing literature demonstrates that the increasingly inter-dependent relationship between finance and real estate intensifies the boom-bust dynamics associated with property markets. Thus, the relationship between finance and real estate is frequently critiqued by examining how it produces crises with devastating impacts on societies, economies and cities. But despite the focus on property crises, much less attention is paid to the resolution of financial real estate crashes. How do bust property markets recover? And with what consequences? This paper responds to these questions by examining Dublin’s office real estate market. Dublin is a particularly suitable case as its booming property market collapsed in 2008 but recovered rapidly from 2013. Analysing the transition from crisis to recovery provides important insights at a number of levels. Firstly, just as credit is crucial to property booms, the relationships between finance and the built environment play a crucial role in shaping the recovery of Dublin’s office market. Secondly, state intervention in the financial system is crucial to this process. Finally, the dynamics associated with recovery work through the production of new circuits linking finance and commercial real estate.

Authors: Shelke Maya P , Ranjan Nihar , Kharade Ajinkya , Gaikwad Pranav , Arakh Shubham , Kalore Analp
Published: October 2023

Deep fakes are synthetic videos created by deep learning algorithms that can convincingly depict individuals saying or doing things they never did. With the proliferation of deepfake videos in social media and the potential for them to cause significant harm, deep fake detection has become a pressing issue. In this study, we offer a unique method for detecting deepfakes by combining computer vision methods with intraframe noise. The proposed approach involves extracting features from the video frames, including texture, color, and edges, and then adding a layer of intraframe noise to the video frames. We tested the proposed method on a variety of benchmark datasets and found that it achieved high accuracy in detecting deepfake videos.

Published: October 2023

One of the most well-known cancers, which is spreading throughout the world and steadily raising mortality rates, is the brain tumor. It has a likelihood of survival of about 75–90% when discovered in the early stages. The majority of cases are found when they are well advanced, largely because it takes so long to refer patients to brain cancer specialists and because the symptoms are not widely known. The advancement of image based machines that can be identify possible malignant high eminence brain diseases that increase the risk of emerging cancer presents substantial prospects for the advancement of brain disease screening for early recognition and behavior continue the most operative interferences in improving outcomes for brain cancer. This work proposes a segmentation and morphological approach utilising S-transform to maintain the prominent features and edge details of the MRI image. In order to maintain edge details and prominent characteristics of the MRI image, a segmentation and morphological algorithm is proposed in this study. Utilizing segmentation and morphological processing, locate the brain tumor and catch it early. This algorithm could be used to find tumors in these photos. Even when pre-processing is used on images, over-segmentation occurs. Despite being pre-processed, applying pre-processing to photos causes over-segmentation. The simulation results of cross-correlation and normalized cross correlation values is discussed in table-1.
