Life on the land : the interrelationship between identity and community in the Irish fiction of Maria Edgeworth, William Carleton and Charles Lever
Get PDFThis thesis examines and evaluates the response made by three
nineteenth century Irish writers of fiction to the most pressing
social problem of their time, namely: How might life on the land
be firmly established and maintained? The three writers concerned
— Maria Edgeworth, William Carleton and Charles Lever — are shown
to possess a common artistic vision, which is preserited as an answer
to the question posed. The answer consists of a demonstration of
how the resources of an enabling individual must blend with the
requirements of life on the land as it is.
By way of introduction, the significance of the theme for
both the literary and socio—political contexts of the period
(1800-1872) is described, and the problems of dealing with-nineteenth
century Irish fiction — problems concerned with its status
in the national cultural heritage, its variety and its artistic
characteristics — are outlined.
The four Irish novels of Maria Edgeworth are given a special
status in her overall output, and her handling of the theme in them
is considered as the prototype of her successors' manner of dealing
with it. Carleton and Lever are taken as portraying the Edgeworth
model under stress. Carleton's work is represented by a selection
of pieces from his Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry;
Lever's by three novels from the 1850's and '60's. All three
writers are located in their contemporary cultural milieux, and
their individual treatments of the theme are described and compared.
In conclusion, a general characterisation of the type of fiction
produced by the trio is offered, and a basis for its artistic
relationship to Irish fiction of more recent times is rehearsed.
The thesis facilitates a new periodisation of the history of
nineteenth century Irish fiction. It also offers a revised
conception of a tradition, of Irish fiction. These are the
contributions it makes to knowledge of the subject treated

The organization of district health councils in Ontario
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This action research project with district health councils (DHCs) in Ontario, Canada, took place between 1976 and 1980. The purpose of the research was to identify the most effective forms of organization for DHCs, bodies set up to provide a local focus for planning and coordination of health services in the Province.
The research method was based on social analysis, a method developed over thelast thirty years through applications in industrial, commercial, health, education and social service settings.
The first DHC was created in 1974 to serve the Ottawa-Carleton Region and there are now 25 DHCs covering 88% of the provincial population. Councils are generally regarded as community bodies, consisting of interested local citizens who serve on a voluntary, unpaid basis. The members comprise a mixture of 'providers', 'consumers' and local government representatives. The intensive research work was carried out in collaboration with three DHCs (Hamilton-Wentworth, Kenora-Rainy River and Ottawa-Carleton) and the emerging research findings were tested in a wide variety of settings including a number of the other DHCs.
The first two chapters attempt to set the DHCs in an organizational and political context. Chapter 1 looks at the development of DHCs vis a vis other
social developments, particularly regionalisation and decentralisation. Chapter 2 examines the political context in which DHCs emerged and identifies the policy tensions that are inherent in their work. In Chapter 3 a detailed account is given of the three intensive research settings and the organizational developments that took place during the course of the research. This chapter is in effect a summary of the whole research project. Chapter 4 is concerned with the nature and composition of councils, the roles of DHC member and chairman, and relationships among the DHCs. The research findings on alternative models of DHC structure are in Chapter 5 and 6, respectively concentrating on the Council and its committees and on the executive staff of council. The focus lengthens again in the concluding
chapter to examine the potential for making overall judgements about the effectiveness of DHCs and the implications of this organizational study for other experiments in community-based health planning
The Relationship Between Autonomous Motivation for Exercise, Self-Compassion and Physical Activity
No full textThis series of studies investigated the relationships between self-compassion, physical activity, and autonomous motivation for exercise. The purpose of Study 1 was to examine if autonomous motivation for exercise moderates the association between self-compassion and physical activity in Carleton University students using a cross-sectional design. The goal of Study 2 was to test the effects of a 5-day self-compassion writing intervention on autonomous motivation and physical activity in first year university students at Carleton University. Autonomous motivation did not moderate the relationship between self-compassion and physical activity in Study 1 (B = -1.04, SE = 1.88, t(383) = -0.56, p = .57, 95% CI = [-4.75, 2.65]). The self-compassion intervention in Study 2 did not affect autonomous motivation, self-compassion, or physical activity across time (p < .05, η2 = .01 - .24). Researchers should replicate these findings with larger sample sizes and better measures of self-compassion and physical activity

Software and hardware operating systems for multi-microprocessor systems
No full textA multiple microprocessor operating system kernel is described which supports concurrent high level language constructs, including processes, semaphores and monitors. Extension to these constructs are also supported. A complete operating system using this kernel is currently under development at Carleton University, for a hardware configuration consisting of several single board microcomputer systems which are connected via a standard bus arbiter to a common system bus with common memory and a single test-and-set flag. The system is being developed for an intelligent terminal application but the techniques have wider applicability
