The amoebal MAP kinase response to Legionella pneumophila is regulated by DupA
No full textThe amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum can support replication of Legionella pneumophila. Here we identify the dupA gene, encoding a putative tyrosine kinase/dual-specificity phosphatase, in a screen for D. discoideum mutants altered in allowing L. pneumophila intracellular replication. Inactivation of dupA resulted in depressed L. pneumophila growth and sustained hyperphosphorylation of the amoebal MAP kinase ERK1, consistent with loss of a phosphatase activity. Bacterial challenge of wild-type amoebae induced dupA expression and resulted in transiently increased ERK1 phosphorylation, suggesting that dupA and ERK1 are part of a response to bacteria. Indeed, over 500 of the genes misregulated in the dupA(-) mutant were regulated in response to L. pneumophila infection, including some thought to have immune-like functions. MAP kinase phosphatases are known to be highly upregulated in macrophages challenged with L. pneumophila. Thus, DupA may regulate a MAP kinase response to bacteria that is conserved from amoebae to mammals
Nurses Living with Mental Illness
No full textAims: To gain insight and understanding into the workplace experiences of nurses living with mental illness (independent of their work) through exploring the relevant literature.
Objectives: (1) To learn what unique contribution (negative or positive) they have for the profession.
(2) To review this literature as a means of optimising the nurses’ ability to perform their nursing duties when their mental illness necessitates additional support
Eugenics in the Irish Free State 1922-1939
No full textPopulation decreased by 3.8 Million: 1841-1911
92.6% Catholic population: 1926
1,563,710 emigrated: 1876-1921
70 per 1,000 infant mortality rate: 1930-32
● 1916 Proclamation of Independence ‘guarantees equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens’, however this was removed from the constitution.
● Special Position of the Catholic Church recognised in the 1937 Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann)
● The 1937 Constitution enshrined women's place in the home as a mother, highlighting a pronatalist
stance.
● The Casti Connubii (1930) determined the stance of the Catholic Church on abortion and contraception;
emphasising that marriage was for reproduction.
● The Congested Districts Board under Lady Aberdeen sought to improve rural housing on the West coast. This scheme also provided healthcare and improved sanitation.
● This type of eugenics was about building a strong nation (rather than race or class) and was a response to modernisation and the threat to rural living

The influence of country-of-origin on Irish consumers’ decision-making
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the Irish country-‐of-‐origin effect and its
impact on Irish consumers’ decision-‐making when it comes to purchasing grocery products. There are many apposing theories on the topic, but research suggests the country-‐of-‐origin is an important cue to the decision-‐making process. The effectiveness and processing of the cue, however, depends on various other factors, such as: if it is set as part of multiple cues or a single cue, the time interval of presenting the information, product knowledge, country knowledge, level of ethnocentrism, demographic variables etc. The outcome of this research paper is that when it comes to low-‐involvement purchasing decisions, taking the country-‐of-‐origin into account, Irish
consumers tend to be more likely to purchase products with an Irish country-‐of-‐origin. Furthermore, research has shown that those respondents that are more likely to purchase the product with country-‐of-‐origin being Ireland, are also generally more willing to pay more for these products. Limitations of this research paper include the fact that this research paper merely focuses on low-‐ involvement purchasing decisions, specifically when it comes to purchasing grocery products. Another research limitation is that as this research paper focuses on the Irish market, it cannot be applied to generalize about other cultures and markets. As a practical implication, marketing practitioners, wanting to validate the use of country-‐of-‐origin cue, can utilize this research, as the impact of voluntary logos facilitate in an increased likelihood to purchase the product amongst Irish consumers. This paper is the first paper that looks into the country-‐of-‐origin of Ireland specifically, and its effectiveness related to the purchase of low-‐involvement products. Author Keywords: Country-‐of-‐origin, Consumer decision-‐making process, Ethnocentrism, Irish consumers, Low-‐involvement purchasing decision
Thomas Bernhard as Nestbeschmutzer, criticisms of society and self in Wittgenstein’s Neffe, eine Freundschaft and Holzfalien, eine Erregung.
No full textMy thesis will aim to explore the later prose work o f Thomas Bernhard, in order to
examine the author as a Nestbeschmutzer. The Nestbeschmutzer is an author who
writes critically o f his/her own country, and my thesis will aim to investigate exactly
how Bernhard fulfils this role. However, this investigation will not just be a
straightforward examination of themes, as the Nestbeschmutzer author is bome out of
a specific political, social and historical environment and must therefore be placed in
this context. The Nestbeschmutzer is a product of the German speaking literary world
and is typically concerned with an examination of the legacy of the war and a
confrontation of the problems the war poses for the present generation. They aim to
challenge and provoke members of society into dealing with the issues of the past and
accepting some responsibility for their role, or the roles of their ancestors during the
war years.
Arising as they did from certain historical circumstances, I will endeavour to
briefly explain these circumstances, which prompted their literary assaults on society.
I will also give a brief history of the Nestbeschmutzer literary movement itself, and
Bernhard’s controversial role in it, concentrating mostly on the reception of his most
controversial text Heldenplatz, and the scandal which it prompted.
The main body of my thesis will concern the criticisms levelled in the
novellas. I have chosen the novels Holzfallen eine Erregung and Wittgenstein’s Neffe,
eine Freundschaft, as both were written during the turbulent eighties, further
reinforcing the importance of historical and social influence on the author. I have
identified three main strands of criticism present in Bernhard’s other novellas, and
seek to investigate if they are present in the novellas under study. These are a
criticism of state, culture and the handling of the Nazi past. I also wish to explore a
very interesting characteristic o f both novellas, namely the presence of the author in
the text as a character. Both have also largely escaped critical attention; therefore an
analogy o f them could yield interesting results. From the above, I intend to examine
how Bernhard made his attacks on society and prove that he truly was a
Nestbeschmutzer.
I will then investigate the legacy of Thomas Bernhard in brief, and explore his
influence on the Austria of today. This will include a study of expert opinions of the
work of Bernhard, and end in a conclusion which proves his importance to the world
of literature, and indeed to the world at large, beyond a doubt
