Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Keogh Edward
Published: September 2024

"This Research Study looks at the Irish entrepreneurial landscape in the aftermath of the collapse of the Celtic Tiger, particularly at the small businesses sector. This study also looks at what entrepreneurs think of the effectiveness of the current policies in Ireland in helping entrepreneurs and businesses to cope and survive the current recession. The study looks at people who lost their businesses during the collapse of the Celtic Tiger and asks the question 'Can these people be supported to start-up back into business again?’ A qualitative research approach was undertaken in this study using the semi-structured interview method to capture the experiences, thoughts and opinions of people involved in Irish entrepreneurial life, especially during and after the Celtic Tiger era. The ‘Grounded Theory’ of qualitative analysis was used the identify patterns, trends and facts to base the findings of this research on. This research study is exploratory and inductive in nature where the findings would prove to be new and lead further study being carried out to get a more thorough picture of what is happening in Irish entrepreneurship in the aftermath of the collapse of the Celtic Tiger. Based on the findings in this research this research makes recommendations for further research. The main findings from this study are that Ireland is rapidly loosing its traditional negative view of entrepreneurial failure as a result of the collapse of the Celtic Tiger. This study finds there are two reasons for this in attitude. First is the extent of entrepreneurial failure in Ireland as a result of the economic collapse in 2008. The second is the fact that traditional Irish role models such as Sean Quinn, Ivan Yeats and Westlife’s Shane Filan have suffered entrepreneurial failure as a result of the economic collapse. This study will be of benefit to those who wish to do further future studies into entrepreneurial activities in Ireland post Celtic Tiger."

Published: September 2024

The climate of earth is always changing due to natural events, however it is thought that the rapid warming period currently taking place is primarily due human activity to (environmental protection agency 2012). Climate change is altering the environment and this will have consequences for agriculture (Teagasc publications 2012). In this study we examine the relationship between weather and the yield of winter wheat and spring barley in an Irish context using data gathered from 2004-2010 at the Teagasc Oak Park research centre in Carlow. The data was analysed using a mixed effect model to test which if any weather variables were having an impact on crop yields. The effect of input levels was also taken into account as it was clear from the data the input level was having an effect on yield. The results from the mixed models show that spring barley is affected by humidity while winter wheat is affected by maximum rainfall and humidity. These results were validated using plots of residual values vs fitted values. The relationship between yield and humidity was a negative relationship as humidity went up yield went down this is true for both wheat and barley. The relationship between maximum rainfall and yield is a positive relationship suggesting that the heaver the rainfall the greater the yield for wheat.

Trichloromethane (TCM) is an undesirable chemical residue that can develop in milk. While TCM levels in milk are not within ranges of public health concern, it is important that minimal levels are maintained in order to promote the marketing of Irish dairy products abroad. Germany has enacted strict regulations on TCM concentrations in foodstuffs with a recommended level of0.002 mg/kg and re-analyse those milks, subsequent to cause identification and provision of advice on reducing TCM levels in milk. Milk samples were analysed using Gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection. The GC method was adapted and a standard curve was developed for TCM analysis in milk. A total of 1039 tanker milk supplies and 2225 individual farm milk supplies have been analysed for TCM over a 2 year period with average milk TCM levels decreasing from 0.006 to 0.002 mg/kg milk. A rinse water volume of 16.5 compared to 7 1/milking unit decreased average TCM residues in milk (p

"In the 65 years since India formalised its' independence from the British Empire the country has experienced an immense metamorphosis in all aspects of its economy. This current study is an analysis of what the possible future economic prospects are for India. As part of the research process, the researcher delved into the history of the economy, since its independence from British colonial power, to modern day focusing on particular aspects of the economy which were relevant to fulfilling the research question of; where does the economic future lie for India? The current global economic crisis has in part been the backdrop for undertaking this current study as it has been the catalyst in shifting the pillars of universal economic power between the weakening West to the unlikely emerging East. Society is living through one of the most remarkable and intriguing economic times for many decades. Seismic shifts in economic dominance have occurred between these regions, the West and the East, the magnitude of which has not been seen for hundreds of years; not since the balance of power was held in the spice-, silk- and Jewel-rich East. Consequently, this study empirically examines the key drivers that have inlluenced the Indian economy over the past number of decades and that have shaped its development to date. The qualitative data gathered also examines those factors that are central to its continued evolution and those that are the driving force in moving the economy forward into the future. The research reveals many interesting and surprising results, most notably that despite India's numerous economic problems, it is its economic strengths that are shining through. It is clear that the country has yet to fulfil its maximum potential, but the drivers to enable it to do so are strong. The research found that the demographics of the country are very favourable for continued growth. This, coupled with the legacy of British colonial rule, means that India is one of the few low-cost labour countries with a large English-speaking population (in fact the largest in the world), making it a natural choice for many international companies to do business there. These elements, coupled with strong predictions of economic growth for the country, which, if unshackled by the government, could be the second or third largest economy in the world, are putting India back on its economic pedestal."

Published: September 2024

Hawthorn {Crataegus monogyna) is a herb that has been used medicinally since ancient times. In modern medicine it is known for its cardiotonic properties and is used as a cardiovascular protective, hypotensive and hypocholesterolemic agent. In recent years supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has become more popular as an extraction method for botanical material as it is an environmentally-friendly method that can produce toxic-free extracts. The optimal SFE extraction conditions for the extraction of antioxidant compounds from both, hawthorn leaf & dower and hawthorn berries, using carbon dioxide, were determined in this study. The optimized extracts were then compared to pre-prepared commercial extracts, traditional and sonicated extracts (laboratory prepared) of the same material. The extracts were tested for their total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and their antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging assay and the FRAP antioxidant assay. The extracts were also tested for their effect on lipid and oxymyoglobin oxidation in bovine muscle model systems. All of the extracts exhibited antioxidant activity in both sets of experiments; however the commercial leaf & flower extract performed the best in all experiments. The SFE extracts did not exhibit high antioxidant activities compared to the other extracts and were amongst the lower performing extracts in the DPPH and FRAP assays. However, the SFE extracts showed more potential in the muscle model systems with the SFE leaf & flower extract ranking among the extracts with better capability of preventing lipid and oxymyoglobin oxidation. It was also determined that there is a significant positive relationship between total phenolic content and the antioxidant activities of the extracts. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts were examined using the disc-diffusion assay. The results determined that none of the extracts tested exhibited bacteriocidal activities.

Published: September 2024

Одной из главных задач, стоящих перед ботаническими садами, является внедрение новых видов, форм и сортов растений в городское озеленение, в широкую практику урбанофлористики. Красивоцветущие древесные и кустарниковые виды растений всегда являются важным акцентом в парках и украшением улиц и скверов. Анализ каталогов ботанических садов, в которых показаны удачные опыты по интродукции новых видов для конкретного региона страны, позволяет значительно расширить и обогатить ассортимент новыми красивоцветущими кустарниками и древесными деревьями. В современной урбанофлористике, особенно в последние годы, для создания оригинальных и красивых уголков парков и скверов, бульваров и магистралей основными источниками новых видов, форм и сортов должны стать, например, представители семейства Rosaceae. Большие перспективы у ряда видов из таких родов как: Cerasus, Crataegus, Malus и Prunus s.l. и некоторых других. Необходимо как можно больше вводить в практику озеленения виды и сорта слив, вишен, боярышника с красными цветками. Важное место в озеленении должны занять сорта яблонь с мелкими, не привлекающими внимание и несъедобными (не вкусными для человека, но поедаемыми птицами) плодами.

One of the main tasks facing botanical gardens is the introduction of new species, forms and varieties of plants in urban landscaping, in the widespread practice of urban flora. Beautifully flowering tree and shrub species of plants are always an important accent in city parks and a decoration of city streets and squares. An analysis of the catalogs of botanical gardens, which show successful experiments on the introduction of new species for a specific region of the country, makes it possible to significantly expand and enrich the range of urban flora with new flowering shrubs and tree trees. In modern urban floristics, especially in recent years, in order to create original and beautiful corners of parks and squares, boulevards and highways, the main sources of material, for the introduction of new species, forms and varieties into the practice of modern urban greening, should be, for example, species from the Rosaceae family. Such genera as Cerasus, Crataegus, Malus and Prunus s.l. and a number of others have great prospects. It is necessary to introduce as many species and varieties of apple trees, plums, cherries, and hawthorn with red flowers into the practice of gardening as possible. Apple trees should be with small, most often, not attracting attention and inedible (not tasty for humans, but eaten by birds) fruits.

Bruxism is an issue that has a major influence on both dental and general health. It is defined by the involuntary clenching and grinding of the teeth. Bruxism can present itself in two main ways: during sleep and during wakefulness. This study investigates the function of the stress hormone cortisol in the development and treatment of bruxism. Those who have bruxism often have elevated cortisol levels, which suggests a strong correlation between stress and bruxism episodes. The study examines the body of research, emphasizing the link between bruxism and hormone changes brought on by stress. It also looks at possible cortisol-management-based therapeutic approaches. Pharmacological therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and stress management strategies are examples of effective interventions. Comprehending the intricate relationship between bruxism and cortisol will aid medical professionals in creating all-encompassing therapy strategies that can ultimately enhance patient results and quality of life.

Published: September 2024

A musician, especially a guitarist or a bassist, is certainly familiar with digital sounds or tones. Almost in the current technological era, they also use technology in music. Currently, there are many digital music devices. One of them is the use of digital effects for guitars and basses. These devices very widely, from large to compact. Sometimes guitarists and bassists often have difficulty controlling them. This is because the design of the device is made minimalist, so that with the large number of preset tones available with a small number of controls, it will complicate their performance on stage. The use of digital effects requires a large storage capacity, therefore, the role of the digital effect is like a processor in the CPU. If so much storage is not controlled, then it is possible to forget the configuration settings. Therefore, control is needed as a support and a tool to remind the preset memory. Therefore, additional devices are needed to control the preset tones. This paper will discuss how to create a model to control preset tones in the digital effects they use. The goal is to make it easier when they perform on stage. With good control features, and the arrangement of the appropriate tone arrangement, guitarists and bassists will find it easy to manage the presets stored in the digital effect memory.

Load characteristics of magnetization-dependent transverse thermoelectric generation in GdFeCo ferrimagnetic alloy thin films
Authors: Kobayashi Yuki , Kasatani Yuichi , Yoshikawa Hiroki , Tsukamoto Arata
Published: September 2024

We evaluated the thermoelectric voltage and electric power induced by the transverse and longitudinal thermoelectric generation, along with their load resistance characteristics, by measuring the load voltage in remanent magnetization states of a perpendicularly magnetized GdFeCo ferrimagnetic alloy thin film. Various load resistances were connected transversely and longitudinally to the temperature gradient. Our results showed that the load voltage induced by thermoelectric generation varied with load resistance. Additionally, the sign of the transverse load voltage reversed with the reversal of magnetization. The electric power generated thermoelectrically exhibited load dependency, reaching a local maximum. These behaviors can be qualitatively explained by the load characteristics of the power supply circuit, where polarity changes with the direction of remanent magnetization. In conclusion, we demonstrated the extraction of electric power via thermoelectric generation in a GdFeCo ferrimagnetic thin film. These observations suggest that using magnetic materials can provide new functionality for thermoelectric generators.
Behavior of defects in GaN avalanche photodiodes grown on GaN substrates
Authors: Yang Fan , Gong Ziye , Shi Fan , Xu Jintong , Li Xiangyang
Published: September 2024

GaN avalanche photodiodes grown on GaN substrates were successfully fabricated. These devices displayed a low dark current, measuring <80 pA at a reverse bias of 82.0 V. Notably, the response spectrum of the devices showed new out-of-band response peaks with increasing reverse bias. Moreover, at high reverse bias, the devices emitted visible light. These phenomena were attributed to inherent defects within the materials. The defect level fitted from the tunneling currents closely matched the experimental value, indicating that the defect-assisted tunneling effect, with a defect level at 0.127 eV relative to the conduction band, contributed to the out-of-band response peak in the response spectrum. The Franz–Keldysh effect led to a redshift in the response spectrum. Additionally, the Mg-related deep energy level situated approximately 0.498 eV above the valence band, facilitated radiative recombination at high reverse bias. Meanwhile, the device’s luminescent image displayed a consistently square shape, suggesting uniform avalanche breakdown throughout the device.
Reducing non-effective pixel rate and nonuniformity in AlGaN solar-blind UV focal plane detectors by controlled curvature
Authors: Gong Ziye , Yang Fan , Xu Jintong
Published: September 2024

A 1600 × 1280 small pixel photodetector was successfully fabricated to verify the controlled curvature of the focal plane array improving the non-effective pixel rate and non-uniformity of the detector. The stress strain generated during epitaxial growth was reduced by growing a 2 μm thick AlN stress correction layer on the backside of the AlGaN/sapphire system substrate. Compared with the material without an AlN stress correction layer on the backside, material curvature reduced from 7.252 μm to 2.740 μm over a length of 0.5 cm. The non-effective pixel rate and the non-uniformity of a focal plane array have been reduced. A process was proposed to reduce the impact of misalignment generated by the flip-chip interconnection process. A solar-blind UV focal plane array was hybridized with a readout integrated circuit using an unsymmetrical flip-chip interconnection process. There is no significant change in peak spectral response, nonuniformity, non-effective pixel rate, or responsivity.

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has attracted considerable interest as an ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor. Experimental studies focused on the detailed near band-edge structure of h-BN at room temperature are still lacking. We report a direct experimental measurement of the near band-edge structure performed on h-BN quasi-bulk wafers via photocurrent excitation spectroscopy (PES). PES resolved the band-to-band transitions near M- and K-points in the Brillion zone (BZ), from which the room temperature indirect band gap of

Authors: Jain Anushka , Thakur Seema , Chauhan Deepak
Published: September 2024

Background and objectives: Dentists managing patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require tailored
behavior control and communication strategies for successful appointments, considering the neurocognitive and
behavioral issues these patients present with.This study aims to investigate the difficulties that pediatric dentists have
when treating children with ASD for dental issues.Responses to these queries would enhance our understanding of the
practical and educational obstacles dentists face when dealing with patients with ASD. Methodology: 105 pediatric
dentists were surveyed online to identify various challenges encountered in treating children with ASD. These
challenges included the absence of established practice standards, the belief that ASD children exhibit disruptive
behavior, and limitations in time or perceived competence in managing these patients. Results: 69% of pediatric
dentists reported providing treatment to children with ASD, with 61% of them seeing 1-2 ASD patients annually. The
average number of barriers endorsed by dentists treating children with ASD was slightly higher than those not treating
ASD children, although this difference was not statistically significant (p= 0.146). Most participants concurred on the
absence of practice guidelines for treating children with ASD as a barrier. Conclusion: Pediatric dentists who handle
the treatment of these children, must undergo enhanced training to effectively address the behavioral difficulties
presented by children with ASD.
