‘I Like It - I Just Don’t Know What To Do With It’: The Student-Successor In Irish Family Farming
Authors: Cassidy Anne
Published: October 2023

This paper explores some of the issues facing Irish university students who are likely to succeed to the farm. This group must juggle responsibilities to their family and the landholding while simultaneously forging their professional careers away from the farm. Increasing numbers of Irish family farming offspring participate in third-level education and go on to pursue non-farming careers. Despite this, there is no evidence of the rate of land sale increasing, which is relatively unsurprising given the attachment of farm families to the land. This implies that most of this population have to navigate two distinctive roles: that of a farm successor; and that of a student, intending to pursue a career away from the farm. In light of the elderly demographic profile of farm holders in Ireland, the rate of inter-generational farm transfers will increase in the coming years. Therefore, it is opportune to examine some of the issues that this group confront. The data for this work is based on a series of semi-structured interviews with 13 participants from an original cohort of 30 students who took part in PhD research. The analysis establishes that this group’s duality is an example of how family farming can adapt to social pressures whilst still retaining its own cultural norms by ensuring that the farm is passed onto the next generation. However, this is not without some challenges as highlighted in the work where conflicted attitudes to succession are discussed as well as how the farm is viewed, the likely nature of the interviewees’ future relationship with the holding, and the dual path they have as students and heirs.
‘To further planting of trees’: Arbor Day in 20th century Ireland
Authors: Forrest Mary
Published: October 2023

Arbor Day, historically devoted to tree planting, connected people with trees and left a legacy for future generations. Reports in local and national newspapers describe Arbor Days in 20th century Ireland. They were organised by The Irish Forestry Society, 1904-1923; the Department of Lands 1935-1939 and Trees for Ireland 1950- 1984, two voluntary groups and a state sponsor, in co-operation with local authorities. While the aim was to promote afforestation, in time it fostered an interest in trees in rural and, more particularly, in urban communities, what is now known as urban forestry. Arbor Days followed a similar format with speeches by local politicians and clergy referencing the social, sometimes nationalistic role of trees, followed by tree planting by them and young people. The inculcation of a life-long interest in trees in young people was obvious in each period. Planting in school or college grounds, though evident throughout the periods under consideration, was most pronounced from 1935-1939. In the period 1952-1984, the sites selected in Dublin were located in developing suburbs or large public housing schemes. Arbor Day was adopted by local community groups who also organised tree planting. Arbor Day in Ireland mirrored Arbor Day in the US and Australia. There is little evidence to suggest that Arbor Day furthered afforestation. However, it was a valuable environmental and educational initiative in periods of political and economic change in 20th century Ireland. Arbor Day foreshadowed environmental initiatives current in 21st century Ireland and worldwide.
Marino at 100: A garden suburb of lasting influence
Authors: Brady Joseph , McManus Ruth
Published: October 2023

Almost a century ago, Dublin Corporation began the detailed planning for its first large-scale suburban development. The intention was to build according to high ideals and high standards. Marino would be a garden suburb, following the then new Tudor Walters norms for the better-off working class and be a major step in solving the housing crisis in Dublin. Dublin Corporation had a point to prove, having been subjected to a stinging (and in the members’ view, unfair) rebuke in the 1913 inquiry into the housing of the working classes in Dublin. A fine suburb was indeed constructed, which remains a prime residential area to this day. During the development process, Dublin Corporation found itself having to make policy decisions quickly which had far reaching consequences. What began as pragmatic responses to current circumstances came to be some of the defining principles which underpinned social housing (and some private housing) provision in Dublin for most of the century. As Marino approaches its centenary, it is appropriate to revisit the area and reassess its importance.
Natural capital: An inventory of Irish lakes
Authors: Dalton Catherine
Published: October 2023

Lakes are important components of our landscape and along with networks of rivers and streams provide a range of important ecosystem services and natural capital. Estimates of lake numbers, particularly small lakes, have generally been under-represented historically as they did not appear on most printed maps. Accurate calculation of lake numbers is necessary in determining realistic estimates of their collective contribution to provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural ecosystem services. A summary of the available lake data is vital to help shape research efforts to determine catchment and lake system contributions to biogeochemical processes, for example, carbon burial, pollution, filtration, and biodiversity. This is particularly important in the context of global climate change. In light of the most recent global inventory of lakes and an increasing recognition of aquatic ecosystem services, this paper summarises the publicly available spatial data on the lake population for the island of Ireland. A range of datasets of variable spatial resolution exists for the Irish ecoregion, which suggest varying lake populations of 360, 908 and 976 lakes greater than 0.1 km2 surface area. Moreover, the most detailed dataset includes 12,205 lakes greater than 0.00001 km2 in the Republic of Ireland (RoI). Additional complexities exist with access to lake data for Northern Ireland (NI). This creates confusion in efforts to valorise lake natural capital for the Irish ecoregion. This summary of the Irish lake population provides context for the selection of lakes for future study and highlights the variable nature of the spatial data.
A Rapid Assessment Framework for Irish Habitats: A Case Study of Machair Habitat Quality
Authors: Gorman Thomas , Kindermann Gesche , Morley Terry
Published: October 2023

Existing habitat condition assessments in Ireland lack a standardised, quantitative methodology and are often beyond the time constraints of monitoring staff. Therefore, there is a need to develop a framework that can rapidly assess habitats and provide a benchmark against which change can be measured. We reviewed existing national and international habitat assessments to develop a new rapid habitat assessment framework specific to Ireland. This framework uses 22 variables encompassing: (i) a pre-survey that considers the site within the context of the landscape; (ii) a structured field survey to measure physical and biological variables; and (iii) a site overview that considers site management variables to generate a quantitative site score. We tested our framework using Irish machair as a case study due to it being particularly vulnerable to rapid changes from both anthropogenic and climatic sources. Our framework scores matched 70% of the current three-tiered ‘traffic light’ designations established in the Habitats Directive and were within expected ranges. Our approach establishes a quantitative score that creates a benchmark against which we can measure future change and the identification of specific drivers of habitat change. The framework is a practical response to the lack of a unified approach to assessing and reporting habitat condition and will help Ireland meet monitoring requirements and determine the effect(s) of management/conservation efforts.
Investigation of an Elevated Sands Unit at Tralispean Bay, South-West Ireland – Potential High Energy Marine Event
Authors: Cronin Abigail , Devoy Robert , Bartlett Darius , Nuyts Siegmund , O'Dwyer Barry
Published: October 2023

A sequence of high elevation sands containing both broken and whole marine shells, as well as many mega-sized, raft-shaped boulders (1-3m across) has been discovered at Tralispean Bay, West Cork, Ireland. Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), ground surveying and differential GPS (dGPS) show that the sediments cover an area of c.0.75ha, reaching a maximum height of c.+18.5m ODM, with interconnected pockets of sand varying in thickness of up to 1m. Coring, lithostratigraphic study, granulometry, organics loss-on-ignition and carbonate content analyses, together with examination of micro- and macrofossils, indicate that the shelly sands were deposited rapidly, under high energy conditions. Informal interviews with local residents, as well as the extent of the sands, suggest that the deposit is not the result of human actions. Elevations reached by the sediments, the presence of mega-boulders, and other indicators make it unlikely that these sediments arose from storm activity. It is possible that they have been deposited as the result of a tsunami. The radiocarbon (AMS) date obtained places the age of such an event at 1465 AD (Cal BP 485). At present, no clear historical record has been identified of any tsunami impacts affecting the south coast of Ireland other than the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.

Supporting Women in Geography (SWIG) Ireland: Confronting the role of gender and asserting the importance of the female voice
Authors: Ahern Joanne , McArdle Rachel
Published: October 2023

In this collection, several authors – ranging from early career to well established academics – consider the role of women and the female voice in academia. This compilation developed from a conference session organised by the Supporting Women in Geography (SWIG) Ireland group, at the Conference of Irish Geographers in University College Cork (UCC) in 2017. In the first piece, Ahern and Mc Ardle consider why this discussion is necessary at all, ruminating on examples from both within and outside of academia. Till then brings in her experience working in Ireland, the US and beyond, and reflects on the importance of including all voices, and challenges scholars to end gender discrimination in Ireland. Manzo then reflects on how female work in academia, similar to community organising, can be considered invisible, devalued labour (Daniels, 1987). Yet she focuses on the positives of this, outlining the women-centred community organising model, the social capital that is involved, and the range of activities for empowering women to alter the efforts in Irish academia to making this change. Meletis then widens this discussion with an international example of a group similar to SWIG Ireland, Inspiring Women Among Us (IWAU) in Canada. She reflects on the difficulty of being an inclusive group. These discussions are vital to tackling gender bias in Irish academia, yet all the authors agree this needs to be an ongoing conversation, a lived practice, and we hope this work inspires further contributions to this cause.
Models of Cross-Border Collaboration in a Post-Brexit Landscape – Insights from External EU Borders
Authors: O’Keeffe Brendan , Creamer Caroline
Published: October 2023

Since the UK 2016 referendum, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland has emerged as the most contested issue affecting the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. The ‘backstop’ has consistently been the primary reason for the rejection by the House of Commons of the withdrawal deal negotiated between the EU and the UK government. The associated discourses on finding a border ‘solution’ have raised more questions than answers, with many contributors speculating on what might or might not work, rather than presenting any concrete or workable alternatives to the ‘backstop’. The wider debate on how to reconcile the UK’s withdrawal with maintaining an open border on the island of Ireland, in line with the EU’s fundamental freedoms, has highlighted the distinct differences, in several respects, between internal and external EU borders. Internal EU borders are frictionless and largely invisible, and their significance has declined, due to ongoing processes of European integration and the collaborative arrangements advanced by local-level stakeholders that emphasise commonalities and mutual benefits. Meanwhile, external EU borders are characterised by wide-ranging modes of interaction and governance in respect of cross-border cooperation, and while in some cases, contacts are limited, there are several models and experiences of engagement, and indeed, collaboration. The current debate about the future status and workability of a border on the island of Ireland necessitates an examination of practices across pre-existing external EU borders. This paper responds to this requirement by presenting two case studies, namely, Spain-Morocco and Romania-Republic of Moldova.
Emergent Cross-Border Functional Geographies on the Island of Ireland: pre- and post-Brexit
Authors: Rafferty Gavan , Blair Neale
Published: October 2023

The notion of ‘functional geographies’ has gained momentum across academic and policy communities in recent decades. In an EU context, the elevation of territoriality and functionality in policy-making has drawn attention to ‘spatial context and distribution’ (Faludi and Peyrony, 2011) and ‘place-based’ approaches (Nosek, 2017) for nurturing a more just distribution of opportunities in places, across various spatial scales and between European territories. Following twenty years of peace, the island of Ireland has witnessed a degree of convergence around governance structures and the expansion of relational cooperative spaces that reflect complex socio-economic functional relationships that stretch across territorial geographies. The associated policy making and institutional mechanisms can operate through traditional ‘hard’ bureaucratic procedures or through innovative ‘soft’ spaces that work with, and operate across, ‘fuzzy boundaries’, negotiating mutual thematic policy areas. Reflecting on the legacy of social, economic and infrastructure integration and policy convergence to date, this paper explores the vulnerability of existing cross-border functional geographies given the uncertainties posed by Brexit. In considering the pre- Brexit – and an uncertain post-Brexit – context, the paper examines empirical findings from key actors about cooperation and the activities, flows and linkages that occur in cross-border functional geographies on the island of Ireland.
Geography and the Covid-19 Crisis in Ireland
Authors: Foley Ronan
Published: October 2023

In the few short months since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, the world had paid more daily attention to maps, charts, rates and locations than ever before; the function and value of a wider geographical imagination, research and education has never been more apparent. Geography and its concerns with place, locations, networks, mobilities and impacts are central to critical reporting on the management, analysis and potential future impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. As the leading journal for geographers it would be remiss for Irish Geography not to identify and promote the different ways in which geographers, both in Ireland and globally, inform, shape and reflect on the current global pandemic. For contemporary geographers, understanding and tackling spatial inequality is effectively a mission statement. In the current crisis, a relational geographical understanding of how we tackle inequalities and how relations; social, spatial and political, work themselves unequally in and between places, are central. In this short editorial, I focus on several sub-themes; medical/health, urban, social & cultural, online and environmental geographies to suggest ways in which ongoing and future work by geographers will matter. A short analytical report on publicly available spatial data has already been made available1; a longer piece with invited first wave responses (under the ‘Contemporary Critical Geographies’ banner) is planned for the next issue of this journal.
An inventory of buildings in Dublin City for energy management
Authors: Buckley Niall , Mills Gerald , Fealy Rowan
Published: October 2023

Globally, about one-third of final energy use and associated carbon dioxide emissions are sourced from buildings, the great majority of which are located in urban areas. Not surprisingly, managing building energy demand is a focus of city-based climate change policies while simultaneously tackling issues of fuel poverty. Assessing the potential for mitigation and evaluating the efficacy of energy policies relies on knowledge of the urban building stock, which varies geographically based on the age of building and retrofits that may have taken place. However, building data at a detailed scale are rarely available for these purposes. In this research, we present a geographic building database for Dublin city centre using a typology approach. The resulting data consists of material and energy attributes of over 25,000 buildings that have been constructed over a 200-year period. These data are used to estimate the energy ratings of households and to evaluate historic and potential retrofitting. In addition to energy studies, they provide a fundamental dataset on buildings that can be used to evaluate official sources and to support a wide range of urban research topics. The methodology used here is sufficiently general in nature that it can be expanded to other cities in Ireland and Europe.
“The parambulatyon of thys lordshype is not travele”: 450 years on, a digital re-evaluation of Robert Lythe’s survey of Ireland.
Authors: Porter Catherine
Published: October 2023

Surveyors tasked with measuring and recording the landscape of sixteenth century Great Britain and Ireland had no definitive guide on surveying practice and no comprehensive standardisation or regulation was in place. They rarely recorded the techniques used in their fieldwork and so their field practices are largely a mystery. For today’s historians of cartography who seek to understand why and how maps were made, this leaves a void in our knowledge of early surveying practice. This paper addresses this lacuna in knowledge by testing and applying methods for early map and survey analysis. Marking the 450th anniversary of the culmination of Robert Lythe’s time in Ireland, this fresh inquiry into his survey is approached through the little extant evidence available; correspondence, and what is believed to be a map produced from the survey, the ‘Petworth Map’ (1571), extant at Petworth House Archives. We invertthe standard historical methodology, beginning with the map and tracing back to the survey process, to reveal new evidence of sixteenth-century surveying practices. A mixed-method approach intertwining digital, quantitative and archival sources revealfresh insight on Lythe’s survey and highlight how, in re-thinking the methods by which we approach early map analysis, we can learn more about western European mapmaking of the sixteenth-century.
Mapping ‘sluggish’ migration: Irish internal migration 1851 – 1911
Authors: Mary Kelly  , Aidan Slingsby  , Jason Dykes  , Jo Wood
Published: October 2023

Emigration is a major theme in Ireland’s demographic history and has, as a result, received significant attention in scholarship. By contrast, the less prominent story of internal migration has been much less researched. This has resulted in a neglect of the changing geographies of those who remained in Ireland. Here we use Origin-Destination (OD) and Destination-Origin (DO) maps to explore changing patterns of internal migration in Ireland from 1851 to 1911. In doing so, we show that up to 1851 internal migration primarily involved the movement of people to neighbouring counties, even in the east where internal migration was higher. Dublin and Antrimwere however, both destination counties. Dublin attracted people from all over Ireland, but more prominently from its immediate hinterland, and Antrim (containing most of Belfast) attracted migrants primarily from counties that would eventually becomeNorthern Ireland. We also show that in 1851 women tended to make more localised movements whilst men moved further afield. By 1911, the proportion of people classified as internal migrants had increased by only 4%. However, here we show that migrants were now moving farther distances, being less likely to move to neighbouring counties and more likely to move towards the two principal cities. We also show that by 1911 women now outnumbered men in almost all directions, and in particular in their movements towards Dublin and Belfast. We also show some nuances with regard to the geography and gender of movement towards these cities. Men from northern counties were more numerous in Dublin than females from northern counties, and women were prevalent in Dublin city and county, whereas in Antrim women were more prevalent in the city only. Our identification of these patterns of change usinginnovative OD and DO maps aims to stimulate further research on this neglected area of Irish demographic history.
Developing a social vulnerability to environmental hazards index to inform climate action in Ireland
Authors: James M. Fitton  , Barry O'Dwyer  , Breda Maher
Published: October 2023

Ireland faces a wide range of impacts from climate change including increases in fluvial, pluvial and coastal flooding, coastal erosion and heat waves. In Ireland, there has been research undertaken to assess the spatial distribution of some these hazards, for example, the OPW Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management programme. However, these assessments do not take into account thatsome individuals or groups are disproportionately affected by climate change as they have less capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate-related hazards and effects. This concept is termed social vulnerability. Therefore, to support Ireland’stransition to a climate resilient, low carbon society and economy that is inclusive and just, consideration of those groups with high levels of social vulnerability needs to be considered in any risk assessments. In response to this need, the Irish Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards Index (ISVEHI) has been developed to map the distribution of social vulnerability to environmental hazards. The ISVEHI has been developed on the basis of CSO data and identified that approximately 772,000 (23%) people and 437,000 (26%) households have levels of social vulnerability above the national average. This information can inform climate action, spatial planning and economic and community planning at a local authority level, to reduce risk from environmental hazards and support Ireland in a just transition to a sustainable and resilient future.

The study investigated the effective delivery of Basic Science curriculum concepts using inquiry based strategy on students’ academic achievement in Delta Central Senatorial District. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. Quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study, specifically, non-equivalent pretest and posttest control group design. The sample for the study comprised of 275 JSS II basic science students from six mixed JSS2 classes in intact classes in Delta Central Senatorial District, drawn using Simple random sampling techniques. The experimental group was taught using inquiry based teaching strategy, while lecture method was taught using conventional. The instrument used for data collection was the Basic science Achievement Test (BSAT). Data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results revealed that inquiry based teaching strategy was superior to the conventional instructional method in facilitating students’ achievement in basic science. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of male and female students in basic science curriculum concepts. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the inquiry based strategy is a better option in delivery Basic Science curriculum concepts. It was recommended among others that science teacher’s educators should adopt inquiry based strategy when teaching in order to enhance students’ achievement in basic science and technology.
Measuring Mathematical Competence of Grade 3 Students in New General Curriculum: A Case of Vietnam
Authors:   The Vietnam National Institute of Educational Sciences, Hanoi, Vietnam, Oanh Nguyen Thi Kieu , Xuan Cuong Dang Xuan Cuong Dang ,   The Vietnam National Institute of Educational Sciences, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: October 2023

The general education curriculum promulgated by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training in 2018 has identified 10 common competencies that need to be formed and developed for students in the coming period, including computing capacity. The Math general education curriculum issued in 2018 helps students form and develop mathematical competence (the most concentrated expression of computing capacity) including the following core elements: mathematical thinking and reasoning; mathematical modeling; mathematical problem solving; mathematical communication; use mathematical learning tools and media. The aim of this study was to design an assessment framework for mathematical competence. From the Grade 3 Math curriculum, the research team has proposed a math competency standard with 90 items. From these 90 items, design 6 illustrative test questions. Each test consists of 30 questions, between which there are 15 fixed questions designed to measure students’ mathematical competence. A sample of 383 students in grade 3 were recruited for the study with the participation of 3 researchers and 5 elementary school teachers. A mathematical competence framework and six tests with anchor items were designed to measure students’ mathematical competence. The results of analysis using an approach to item response theory showed that the items had good fits with the model and they could be used to describe mathematical competence learning progression with different levels of proficiency. The tests were reliable and valid, and the anchor items were good for connecting students’ mathematical competence.
Repeated Rent-Seeking with interdependent Preferences
Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Park Sung-Hoon
Published: October 2023

Players can engage in repeated games, and each player may be interested in not only their own payoffs but also those of their rivals. For example, scholars compete repeatedly to publish papers, caring about their own achievements as well as those of their rivals. Tullock conjectured that rent-seeking efforts would increase in repeated games. In contrast, previous research has shown that rent-seeking efforts decrease in repeated games. This study expands on existing rent-seeking literature by analyzing rent-seeking behavior of players with dependent preferences in repeated games. To accomplish this, the study adopts the logit contest proposed by Tullock and analyzes repeated games between two players with interdependent preferences. That is, this study investigates situations where each player experiences emotions of altruism and spite towards their competitor and plays games repeatedly. There are two types of games with interdependent preferences: repeated games considering exogenous interdependent preferences and repeated games considering endogenous interdependent preferences. This research demonstrates the equilibrium result that 'altruism and co-movement reduce rent-seeking efforts' when interdependent preferences are exogenous. Next, when considering endogenous interdependent preferences, the equilibrium results are as follows. First, repeated games induce spite, meaning repeated rent-seeking excludes altruism. Second, the higher the intensity of co-movement between players, the greater the spite that arises. Third, players' spite increases rent-seeking efforts and reduces their payoffs. This study presents spite as the primary rationale for the increase in rent-dissipation in repeated games, as speculated by Tullock.
The Implications Murray Rothbard Suggests to the Public Choice Theory
Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Jeon Yong-Deok
Published: October 2023

Public Choice School and Austrian School of Economics share some common ground but also show differences. This article collects on how Rothbard views the basic logic on Public Choice. Although some fragmented critiques by Austrians on Public Choice appeared, the comprehensive studies on them were rare. This article collected and summarized such critiques by Rothbard on Public Choice. Rothbard points out that there is the nub of the distinction between State and market. On the market, all parties gain and benefit from market actions, whereas, in State action, the gains of one group can only be at the expense of others. However, Buchanan and Tullock's concept in their book would obliterate the most vital distinction between State and market activity. Therefore, Rothbard points out that assimilating government to private actions is totally wrong, and such result indicates that there is no room of public choice theory based on Buchanan and Tullock's book. The critiques by Rothbard would be a useful ground for stimulating Public Choice Theorists to improve and/or reflect the validity of their research topics and methodology.

Published: October 2023

A utilização de chips de carvalho é uma prática crescente, principalmente em regiões que se atrevem buscar novas metodologias, para além da vinicultura tradicional. É uma alternativa ao uso de barricas, que normalmente apresenta alto custo e baixa vida útil. Essa técnica de enriquecimento sensorial é altamente customizável, permitindo aos enólogos ajustar a intensidade e a duração da infusão dos chips, a fim de atender às preferências do mercado. Também é uma técnica que pode ser utilizada para abrandar características sensoriais negativas de um vinho. Assim, este trabalho objetivou analisar a utilização de chips de carvalho francês e de carvalho americano para melhorar a qualidade de um vinho, blend de tintas Merlot e Tannat, que apresentavam sabor metálico em seu aspecto sensorial. Foram utilizados quatro recipientes, que receberam ou não a adição dos chips (controle – sem adição de chips, americano, francês, americano + francês) que permaneceram em infusão por 40 dias. Após envase os vinhos foram destinados à avaliação sensorial (características visuais, olfativas, gustativas e avaliação global), onde foi possível constatar que o chip de carvalho francês favoreceu as características visuais, gustativas e a avaliação global do vinho enquanto o chip de carvalho americano melhorou apenas as características olfativas do vinho. Sendo assim, é possível afirmar que a utilização de chips de carvalho é eficiente na atenuação dos defeitos do vinho.

Demokrasi deliberatif adalah komunikasi timbal balik yang mencakup pada penekanaan dan refleksi atas preferensi, nilai, dan kepentingan yang menjadi kepentingan bersama. Dalam demokrasi deliberatif, dialog yang terbuka serta konsultasi publik, yang di Indonesia dikenal sebagai ‘musyawarah’, menjadi prasyarat utama dalam proses pengambilan keputusan. Pada praktiknya, musyawarah yang seharusnya melibatkan seluruh pemangku kepentingan secara setara, hasilnya tidak selalu sesuai dengan kehendak dan aspirasi masyarakat. Hal tersebut, salah satunya, disebabkan adanya intervensi dan dominasi pihak dan/atau tokoh tertentu.
Buku ini mengulas serangkaian kasus yang menggambarkan proses demokrasi di dalam pelaksanaan otonomi daerah untuk melihat upaya-upaya komunikasi publik di tingkat lokal, di antaranya dinamika alih fungsi lahan di Bali dan kasus Yogyakarta yang menjadi daerah istimewa. Selain itu, buku ini juga memberikan gambaran yang cukup jelas mengenai sisi negatif pelaksanaan otonomi daerah.     
Hadirnya buku ini diharapkan dapat memberikan manfaat bagi peneliti, akademisi, pemerintah daerah, dan masyarakat, khususnya dalam rangka mendukung upaya demokrasi yang lebih baik demi kepentingan publik.
Antara Ekonomi, Lingkungan Hidup, dan Demokrasi Deliberatif: Sebuah Evaluasi Institusi di Riau
Authors: Wahyu Prasetyawan
Published: October 2023

Pengelolaan lingkungan hidup hampir selalu menyangkut dua aktor utama manusia dan bukan-manusia. Tulisan ini akan membahas dinamika manusia, sebagai aktor, dan hubungan mereka dengan lingkungan hidup untuk memahami demokrasi deliberatif. Secara lebih khusus tulisan ini menganalisis tarik-menarik antara beberapa aktor politik yang menjadi pemangku kepentingan dari pengelolaan lingkungan hidup. Para aktor politik tersebut adalah elit yang berada di pemerintah pusat dan daerah, rakyat yang dalam pengertian luas mencakup mereka yang sudah lama tinggal di dalam atau sekitar hutan, serta lembaga masyarakat sipil.  Negosiasi atau bentuk ekstremnya adalah konflik kepentingan selalu menjadi inti dari pengelolaan lingkungan hidup. Pengambilan keputusan dalam bidang lingkungan hidup memiliki aspek majemuk karena tidak hanya menyangkut manusia dengan sistem sosial, ekonomi dan politik tetapi juga sumber daya lingkungan hidup. Dalam tulisan ini masalah yang akan dibahas terutama adalah pengelolaan sumber daya lingkungan oleh manusia yang mencakup sistem sosial, ekonomi dan politik. Ketiga sistem tersebut dalam tulisan ini dipahami dari perspektif institutional economics (ekonomi institusional), seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Douglass North (1990), Daron Acemoglu dan James Robinson (2012, 2019). Selain dari perspektif ekonomi institusional, tulisan ini juga mendiskusikan demokrasi deliberatif dari perspektif yang dikembangkan oleh John Dryzek.

The currently available yellow fever vaccines are thermally unstable and involve huge costs during preservation and administration. Microencapsulation with thermally stable coating materials is considered as a means of protecting yellow fever vaccines from thermal degradation. Silica nanoparticles have thermal stabilizing abilities but do not possess film forming properties. It is proposed that polymer-silica blends might be a good coating material for microencapsulation. This study is aimed at investigating the compatibility and efficiency of blends of selected polymers with silicon obtained from rice husk ash (RHA) in microencapsulating yellow fever virus vaccine. The encapsulated yellow fever vaccine was characterised by FTIR and SEM-EDX spectroscopy, and the vaccine encapsulation efficiency was determined. FTIR spectra of the individual components and final encapsulated vaccine showed good chemical compatibility of all the ingredients. SEM studies of the products revealed uneven and rough surfaces with shrinkages. The vaccine encapsulation efficiency was 66.7%. Altogether, these results suggest that polymer-RHA silica blend can be used in microencapsulating yellow fever virus vaccine.

This research study aimed to enhance the precision and efficacy of identifying the underlying reasons for mental health issues by analyzing social media content. The study was conducted on the CAMS dataset, comprising 3155 Reddit posts, and a reannotated SDCNL dataset with 1896 instances to align with the domain of interest. The study employed advanced machine learning techniques and popular deep learning architectures to determine the optimal model for the problem statement. The performance of several models was evaluated, and it was found that the combination of CNN and LSTM (ConvLSTM) architecture yielded the most accurate results, with a precision of 53\%. ConvLSTM incorporates spatial and temporal information by using convolutional layers to extract features from the input data, followed by LSTM layers to capture the temporal dependencies within the data. This makes ConvLSTM particularly suitable for processing sequential data, such as natural language text and has been shown to achieve better performance than using CNN or LSTM alone. These findings indicate the potential of leveraging machine learning techniques and deep learning architectures to improve the detection and understanding of mental health issues through social media analysis. The study demonstrates the potential of machine learning techniques and deep learning architectures to identify the underlying reasons for mental health issues by analyzing social media content. The findings highlight the importance of using these techniques for mental health research and the potential for future research. The study's findings significantly impact the development of interventions and treatments for mental health issues.

Depression and mental diseases are significant problems in today's culture. It may result in suicidal thoughts.In this study, we analyze several earlier studies that identified depression using deep learning (DL), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI).This study explores how emotions may be precisely identified, and how depressive symptoms can be communicated via social media posts, images, audio, and facial expressions. Linear Support Vector, Logistic Regression, Long Term Short Memory (LSTM), Naive-Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), etc. are some of the ML approaches used to recognize and classify emotions from the data. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are used to classify and extract features from photographs to identify emotions from facial expressions. The purpose of this work is to present an overview of several AI, DL, and ML approaches that aid in the identification and study of emotion, and thereby depression, as well as the research concerns, they raise.
Stock Market Anomalies and Efficient Market Hypothesis: Empirical Analysis of Monday Effect of Selected Securities from Nigeria
Authors: LENYIE Leesi , Philip Umasom
Published: October 2023

This study was conducted to examine stock market anomalies and efficient market hypothesis with empirical analysis of Monday effect of selected securities from Nigeria. Daily stock prices of 20 quoted firms were sourced from www.cashcraft.com. The study used Friday 4/11/2022, and Friday 3/12/2022 to test against Monday Effect 7/11/2022 and Monday 5/12/2022. The prices of the stocks on Friday against Monday were used to test the market anomalies and the efficient market hypothesis. Findings of the study revealed a mix reaction of stock market anomalies and efficient market hypothesis among the studied securities. Evidence from table 1 and 2 proved that some stocks have return greater or less than zero which implies that investors in such stocks had abnormal return which contrary to the assumptions of efficient market hypothesis. However, some stocks have no return from the price of Friday and the price of Monday which implies that the investor have no return, this is in line with efficient market hypothesis. The study recommends that the regulatory authorities should develop the stock market such that the functioning of the market is in line with the stock market of the developed countries to reflect relevant assumptions and theories
