What Real Hard Work Means: Excerpts from <i>Linnane in London</i>
No full text Linnane in London is a slightly novelized documentary book studded throughout with the author's own poems. This 120-page hybrid deals with the lives and labors of Irish construction workers in London in the 1970s. To write it, the author, Kieran Furey, worked for four months alongside the men concerned, concealing his own academic background. This is, in other words, a “deep immersion” project, somewhat in the spirit of Barbara Ehrenreich, journalist and book author. The result is sometimes poignant, always interesting, and never less than comic, with the joke—as often as not—being at the author's own expense as he discovers what real hard work means. </jats:p
The Association Between Fear of Falling and Fall Prevention Interventions Offered by an Occupational Therapist in a Geriatric Primary Care Setting
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 4/1/2017
This study demonstrates that occupational therapy fall prevention interventions are beneficial for improving quality of care as part of a coordinated care team within a primary care setting and should further be examined in expanded populations, settings, and interventions.

The comparability of direct and semi-direct speaking tests: a case study
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 1997 Kieran John O'Loughlin.This thesis investigates the equivalence of direct (live) and semi-direct (tape-mediated) versions of a test of oral proficiency which forms part of the access: test, a four-skill English language test for prospective skilled migrants to Australia sponsored by the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. This is essentially an equity issue since the two versions are used interchangeably in overseas test centres and candidates normally have no choice about the version to which they are assigned. It is important therefore that candidates’ final results should not be adversely affected by the particular method used to test their oral proficiency
Novel lanthanide structures: fluorinated alkoxides, chalcogenido alkoxides, fluorides, and oxychalcogenido clusters
No full textA number of novel lanthanide alkoxide species were synthesized with fluorinated ligands. This includes monomers with pentafluorophenol, (DME)2Ln(OC6F5)3 (Ln = Nd, Er, Tm, Eu, and Yb), (py)4Ln(OC6F5)3 (Ln = Eu, Tb, Er, Tm, Yb), and (THF)3Yb(OC6F5)3. Unique europium species, ((py)3Eu(CF3SO3)2)n, (DME)2Eu(µ-OC6F5)3Eu(µ-OC6F5)3Eu(DME)2, and (DME)( C6F5O)2Eu(µ-OC6F5)3Eu(DME)2, were also produced. Most reactions proceeded by metathesis of lanthanide chalcogenolates, but direct redox reaction of elemental lanthanide with C6F5OH or CF3SO3H catalyzed by Hg also proved to be viable routes. The Eu(II) trimer was only synthesized through direct oxidation of the metal with the alcohol. Photoluminescence of (DME)2Ln(OC6F5)3 (Ln = Nd, Er, Tm) was tested, and they exhibited high quantum efficiency for lanthanide monomers. Two series of dimers, (py)6Ln2(OC6F5)2(µ-η2-SS)2 (Ln = Sm, Eu, and Gd) and (py)6Ln2(CF3SO3)2(Se)x (Ln = Sm, Tm, Yb, and Lu; x = 3 or 4), were synthesized via substitution of EPh-. The europium dimer is the first example of a Eu(III) molecular sulfido species which is extremely dark due to strong, broad LMCT from the sulfido. The selenidos display a conspicuous coordination change resulting from the relatively small difference in Ln ionic radii forming (py)6Ln2(CF3SO3)2(µ-η2-SeSe)( µ-Se) for small late lanthanides and (py)6Ln2(CF3SO3)2(µ-η2-Se)2 for larger early lanthanides. Three fluorido clusters were synthesized without the use of traditional fluoride sources. (DME)6(py)6Nd18(C6F5O)18 F24O3S3 was produced from a reaction of neodymium phenylselenolate with C6F5OH and sulfur. (py)8Yb4F8(CF3SO3)4 and (DME)4Tb4(CF3SO3)6F2S2 were synthesized from lanthanide chalcogenolates, elemental chalcogens, and CF3SO3H. Cleavage of C-F bonds to form these clusters appears to be a slow reaction. Most reactions producing them took several months. Lanthanide oxychalcogenido clusters were produced from reacting lanthanide chalcogenolates with pySO3 or TeO2 and Te. (THF)8Ln8O2S2(SePh)16 (Ln = Ce, Nd) clusters were synthesized from “Ln(SePh)3” and pySO3. Reactions of “Ln(TePh)3”, TeO2 and Te produced [(py)5Ln3O(Te2)3(TePh)][(py)7Ln4Te(Te2)2(Te2Te(Ph)Te2)(TePh)] (Ln = Ho, Er), [(etpy)11Ho6O4Te4TePh] [Hg(TePh)3] and [(4etpy)12Yb6O4Te4][Hg(TePh)3] [(TePh)3].Ph.

Creating ‘Excellent’ Partnerships: Reflections on Practice
No full textThis chapter presents voices and experiences of the author contributors of this book to foreground their views about the process of working in partnership and how this has informed their developing understandings of teaching excellence. One of the purposes of this chapter is to present authentic accounts of collaborative workings which reflect both student and staff voices. A second purpose of this chapter is to highlight how collaborative research on contextualised teaching excellence can enhance understandings and make what is often tacit more transparent and shared. The underpinning theme of the chapter is the power of a student-staff partnership approach to exploring pedagogy as reflected through collective voices
