Published: August 2024

Рассмотрены роль и место фундаментального концепта культурного наследия в Среднесрочной стратегии ЮНЕСКО на новый восьмилетний период (2022-2029). Подтверждено ключевое значение для культурной стратегии ЮНЕСКО традиционно выделяемых типов наследия (материального, нематериального, подводного, Всемирного, а также цифрового). Выявлена новая, перспективная тенденция в его разработке, состоящая в сопряжении наследия с ведением межкультурного диалога, что ведет к образованию нового, сложного концепта «многообразия наследия» / диалога наследий.

Role and place of the fundamental concept of cultural heritage in Medium-term UNESCO Strategy, envisaged for a new eight-year period (2022-2029). Key significance of traditionally delineated heritage types (tangible, intangible, underwater, World, as well as the digital one) for UNESCO cultural strategy is reaffirmed. A new, perspective tendency in its elaboration is traced back, consisting in conjunction of heritage with intercultural dialogue, resulting in formation of a new, complex concept of the ‘diversity of heritage’ / dialogue of heritages.

Through you, Christian Russia and Christian Spain are being united’: The Letters of Russian Volunteers of Francisco Franco's Army
Authors: Семенов К.К.
Published: August 2024

В годы Гражданской войны в Испании (1936-1939) на стороне националистов сражалось около 150 русских добровольцев-белоэмигрантов. Их эпистолярное наследие убедительно демонстрирует, что в сознании русских добровольцев с годами произошло своеобразное наложение революций 1917 г. и Гражданской войны в России на испанские события 1936-1939 гг. На основании своего российского опыта белоэмигранты легко интерпретировали испанскую действительность периода Гражданской войны, проводили параллели между минувшим и настоящим, для обозначения враждующих сторон использовалась терминология Гражданской войны в России, в частности, «красные» и «белые». Анализ исследованных материалов позволяет говорить об отождествлении событий в России и Испании большей частью респондентов, а также об их особом отношении к службе в армии Франко, которую они воспринимали как продолжение «белой» борьбы 1917-1922 гг.

Around 150 Russian White émigré volunteers fought alongside the Nationalist faction during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Their epistolary legacy convincingly demonstrates that, with the time passing by, in the mind of these White Russian volunteers the October Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Civil War somewhat merged with the Spanish events of 1936-1939. Judging from their Russian experience, White émigrés easily interpreted the Spanish reality during the period of the Civil War, drew parallels between the past and the present, and used terminology from the Russian Civil War to brand the opposing sides, i.e. ‘the Reds’ and ‘the Whites’. The conducted analysis of the given sources allows to conclude that the major part of the respondents identified the events in Russia and Spain, and also to speak of their special attitude towards the service in the Franco’s Army, which they perceived as a continuation of the White struggle of 1917–1922.

Golf Access for All? An Analysis of Golf Clubs from a Universal Aceess Perspective towards the Development of Case Studies of Good Practice and Guidelines for Best Policy and Practice
Authors:   ,   Institute of Technology Tralee, Wehrkamp Dominique
Published: August 2024

People with disabilities (PWD) partake less in sport and physical activity than the able- bodied population, thereby putting PWD at a disadvantage in ternis of experiencing the health and social-related benefits of an active lifestyle. This mixed-method study conducted an analysis of Irish golf clubs (n=100) in order to assess their inclusiveness for PWD and gauge the sector’s willingness to become more inclusive. The research utilised an intei*pretative phenomenological approach in conjunction with a post-positivist research-method consisting of 100 suiweys and 6 semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data were analysed thematically and quantitative data were analysed with SPSS Edition 23. A total of 86% of respondents acknowledged a moral obligation to include PWD and a further 70% mentioned inclusion was beneficial to the club. A further 72% of respondents stated that they would advocate for inclusion at the committee level and 80% disagreed that inclusion would pose a threat. Results found that the average club had 1% of members with disabilities, therefore, signalling a prevalent lack of PWD in golf Golf clubs were mostly in favour of inclusion and 49% were actively engaged in attracting members with disabilities. Finance (62%), lack of education (61%) and planning (60%) were amongst the highest ranking barriers to inclusion. Only 20% of clubs had concerns in facilitating PWD, liability/safety (75%), the pace of play (65%), and damage to greens (60%) being the most prevalent concerns. The study recommends that golf clubs engage with disability community services, offer flexible game-fonnats, and accessible golf programmes.
An Investigation Into The I-stat Chem8+ System For The Measurement Of Sodium, Potassium, Urea & Creatinine.

Published: August 2024

In the hospital environment Point of Care Testing (POCT) can be an invaluable tool in Emergency departments, Theatres, Intensive Care Units and Paediatric wards by providing rapid test results without the need for transport and laboratory processing. The study design included the collection and duplicate analysis of patient samples firstly using the i-STAT and then on the Architect c8000, a routine laboratory analyser. Statistical analysis was performed in order to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in results between the i-STAT POCT system and current laboratory instrumentation. The parameters analysed were the vital biochemical parameters Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Urea (U) and Creatinine (Crca). It is evident from the results obtained that excellect correlation exists between both the test (i-STAT) and comparative (Architect c8000) methods. Statistical analysis showed that there is no significant difference (at P < 0.05) in the mean for Sodium, Potassium, Urea and Creatinine on the i-STAT and on the Architect c8000 with the exception of results in the low Creatinine range. We can conclude from the evidence of this study that the i-STAT point of care analyser will give laboratory accurate results for Sodium, Potassium, Urea and Creatinine (normal/high) at the Clinical Area if used in accordance with this paper.
Orthogonal Cutting Of Bone
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, McCrohan Donal
Published: August 2024

"The cutting of bone has been undertaken for many centuries. Research in this area is contnually progressing to achieve an efficient cutting action while reducing recovery time and rauma to the patient. Orthogonal cutting is defined where the cutting edge of the tool is set in a position that is perpendicular to the direction of relative work or tool motion. The failure mechanisms involved in the cutting of bone, their direct relationships to cutting tool geometry and cutting direction for orthogonal cutting are not accurately defined or quantified. A study of the orthogonal cutting behaviour of bone initiated in the hope of understanding these failure patterns is presented here. Quantitative results showing the relationship between cutting force and rake angle for each of the three mutually perpendicular cutting directions used in this work form the main part of this study. The effect of increasing the depth of cut has also been addressed as has the effect of increasing the cutting speed. It has been shown that cutting force is directly proportional to the depth of cut and the mechanical properties of bone contribute significantly to the cutting force for low cutting speeds. Chip formation characteristics were also studied. From this study the chip type was found to depend entirely on the cutting direction used. To allow a greater understanding of the failure mechanisms present, a computational model using Finite Element (FE) software was developed where the orthogonal cutting process was modelled. An experimental analysis accompanied by computational modelling has outlined and highlighted how many cutting variables such as cutting direction, cutting speed, depth of cut and specific tool geometry are all significant contributors to the orthogonal cutting behaviour of bone."
Optical Properties Of Iii-v Nanowire/nanopillar Lasers Grown On Si
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Morales Juan
Published: August 2024

Nanowires (NW) /nanopillars (NP) offer the possibility of reducing the mismatch of III-V semiconductor materials grown on different substrates such as Si, SiN, SiO2 and are hence being considered potential candidates for coherent light sources in optoelectronics technologies. The difference between NPs and NWs lies in the growth process. The NPs are site-controlled using a patterned mask, while the NWs use a self-catalysed such as gold or Ga-droplet.. In this dissertation, the emission properties of GaAs/AlGaAs (core-shell and core-multishell) and InGaAs (unpassivated and passivated with InGaP) nanolasers have been studied with excitation powers above and below the lasing threshold at different temperatures. Both nanolasers showed a reduction of carrier decay time with excitation power. On the other hand, the spectral intensity increased with the excitation power, suggesting transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission. In particular, time-resolved photoluminescence spectra for GaAs/AlGaAs NWs reported a shift towards longer wavelength of the longitudinal modes for temperatures below 225 K. This phenomenon is caused by the increment of the material refractive index during the recombination process. Finally, the physical properties of the lasing modes have also been analysed for both samples. Helical modes are propagating inside InGaAs NPs, while multiple longitudinal and transverse modes are resonating inside the GaAs/AlGaAs NWs. Helically propagating modes allow high refractive index between interface with low refractive contrast due to the near-90 degree angle of the incident light at the interface NP-Si.
Development Of Uv Led Based Lamps With Modular Optical Heads
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, O'Hara Ciara
Published: August 2024

This project was centred around the development of the optical components, and the optimisation of the optical performance, of ProPhotonix Ltd’s Cobra Cure FX series of products. These are high irradiance, high dose, UVA (primarily 395 nm and 365 nm) Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps designed for curing applications. An initial prototype developed by ProPhotonix, the smallest in the series, the FX1, underwent significant redesign throughout the project, and the two larger lamps, the FX2 and the FX3 were developed during the course of the project. This work primarily consisted in characterising, accurately modelling, and thereby refining, the optical reflector design for each of the lamps, but also involved investigating the suitability of microlenses for use with the product. and characterising a free-form TIR lens for use with LED line-lights (paper under review for publication). It was found that, given the constraints of the FX series mechanical design, microlenses would not offer any advantages over reflectors and rod lenses. The reflector optimisation work led to the development of three major light-head types, the D4, DW and Cl, to offer maximum beam control, dose, and irradiance respectively. Some work was also done on a real-time feedback system for monitoring the lamp’s lifetime degradation status, and for detecting any build-up of material on the outer optical surface of the lamp. The work led to a series of reflector design constraints that were implemented across the series of products, as well as a heightened understanding of the impact that small changes in efficiency can have on the overall lamp performance, and the new optical design parameters are now integrated into all commercial Cobra Cure FX series products.
The Extent To Which Strategic Talent Management Is Understood, And Properly Utilised, In The Life Science Sector In Ireland
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, O'Brien Jennifer
Published: August 2024

In 2017, Ireland was named the best country in the world for attracting high-value foreign direct investment for the sixth year in a row and is home to the top ten global Life Science organisations. The Life Science industry in Ireland depends on a consistent pipeline of talent to realise the growth incentivised by this investment and as the war for talent rages, there is unrelenting pressure on these organisations to attract, manage, develop, engage and retain highly skilled STEM talent. The talent focus, consequently, has to become more strategic. This thesis focuses on the extent to which Strategic Talent Management is understood, and properly utilised, in the Life Science Sector in Ireland. This sector is chosen as the focus of the study due to the significant presence of, and investment in, this sector in Ireland. In depth semi structured interviews are conducted with five Senior HR Professionals from multinational organisations within the sector to support the study. Ultimately, the study established the lack of understanding of the concept of Strategic Talent Management in the Life Science sector in Ireland. It becomes clear that there is a perceived confusion between Strategic Talent Management and Talent Development. A second salient finding illustrated that elements of a Talent Management strategy are utilised in industry, but not in a strategic way. The study concluded that elements of a Talent Management strategy are applied as organisational tools, however these tools are not perceived, or used, in a tactical manner. Additionally, a further prominent finding demonstrated the lack of confidence HR has in the ability of Line Managers to deploy a Talent Management strategy. Linked to this, the study also determined that there are a lack of robust processes in place to support the effective deployment of a Talent Management strategy. Finally, a fifth key finding delineated a sense of overconfidence in the reputation of the Life Science sector, particularly the confidence of the longer established players in the sector is noted. This overconfidence is predicted to have a negative impact as the war for talent strengthens.
“Cabhair is Cairde is Grásta Ó Dhia Chugainn" : A Study of the "Saíocht" of a Parish in Co. Clare.
Authors:   ,   Institute of Technology Tralee, Garvey Flan
Published: August 2024

"This research is based on a rural parish, Inagh-Kilnamona, in mid North Clare. It deals with its physical hinterland, its people, past and present, its history and folklore. Over the centuries, its people have moulded the land. The buildings and infrastructure represent man-made heritage and although the area would have been described as ‘wild’ some hundreds of years ago, it has been transformed by man into being what it is today, a modem place with a modem society, a changed society but still deeply rooted in its past. The time has come to excavate the past by research to give to posterity what will be a reference for our present people and for future scholars. Thus, a narrative has been produced. It is the story of a “simple” people steeped in religious faith and tradition, whom whenever tested, have shown resilience, facing adversity with courage and dignity. It is these societal attributes that need to be recorded and preserved for posterity."

The thesis includes a literature review of the properties of sediment, river and estuary related sediment transport, sediment management and sediment related legislation and the approaches used to develop a sediment budget for an estuary system. An extensive study of riverine suspended sediments discharging to the estuaries has been undertaken. Both surface grab samples and depth integrating suspended sediment samples were collected, tested and analysed. A comparison of suspended sediment concentrations using both methods has been completed and a relationship between both methods developed. Flow rate-suspended sediment concentration and flow rate-suspended sediment load relationships have been developed for the rivers studied. The total suspended load for each river was estimated using the sediment rating curve-flow duration curve method. The total riverine suspended loads to Cork Harbour, Kinsale Harbour and Youghal Harbour are estimated at 27,200 ± 7,344 tonnes/year, 8,971 ± 2,422 tonnes/year and 69,200 ± 18,700 tonnes/year respectively. The suspended sediment yield of the uncontrolled river catchments has been estimated varying from approximately 3.91 ± 1.06 tonnes/km^/year to over 48.22 ± 13.02 tonnes/km2/year All other quantifiable sediment sources and sinks have been studied to develop the sediment budget for each estuary. These include dredging quantities, effluent discharges, tidal ’flux, estuarine sediment deposition rates and estuarine resident suspended sediment load. The marine exchange is used to balance the sediment budget with marine exchange estimates for Cork Harbour, Kinsale Harbour and Youghal Harbour of approximately 400 ± 88 tonnes/tide, 32 ± 12 tonnes/tide and 95 ± 32 tonnes/tide respectively."

In 2002 AD, a hoard comprising of 183 coins was discovered by workers during the construction of a road near a village within the environs of Tis near Chabahar in Southeastern Iran. From this cache of 183 coins, 157 are currently preserved in the Museum of Zahedan and are used in this study. To date, no research has been conducted on any of the coins, which are arranged in albums with only a small number displaying details of their various properties. Initial research involved identifying the coins, identifying and recording their exact location, and developing a typology. This study identifies the precise location as determined via analysis of the king, the mint, and the date and in consideration and comparison of the listing of the coins by Stephen Albums, in which the qualitative measurement of the quantity of coins and quantitative measurement of coin’s mints have been studied. Studies show that the coins are attributed to the Sasanian period, Peroz I and are classified into four groups of typological type, and in 15 different mints, including Mazda Artaxerxes, Estakhri, and Darabgerd. Using the relative frequency graph, the highest quantity of coins, according to typology, is attributed to the second type at 35.02 % and the lowest attributed to the first and third types jointly at 11.46 % of the total. The highest quantity of coins is attributed to the mint of Estakhr at 13.37 % and the lowest to the mint of Gorgan at 0.64 % of the total. Due to an absence of determinable typological features, 10.88 % of the coins could not be attributed to any type. In addition, 26.74 % of the coins could not be attributed to any specific mints.

Understanding the intricacies of finance has a significant and lasting impact on financial management. Understanding financial concepts and skills is crucial to making positive changes in financial behavior. Since 2013, the All-Russian Household Survey on Consumer Finance has been conducted every two years, which examines the impact of people's understanding of household finances on their financial decision-making. The study of diversity revealed significant differences in financial behavior depending on factors such as gender, place of residence, level of education and marital status. The study provides valuable information that can serve as a basis for policy changes aimed at improving financial literacy.
