The Cantwell collection
No full textThe Cantwell collection (with the agreement of Dr Eamonn Cantwell) is an open collection within the Boole Library, University College Cork, and the Library has added a small number of significant titles to the collection since the original gift in 2006. The Collection was first exhibited at the Boole Library, UCC, 24 June-30 July 2003, and it complements other Boole Library collections such as the Cuala Press Collection, and the Dolmen Press Collection of the Yeats scholar and distinguished publisher, Liam Miller. The accompanying catalogue, W. B. Yeats: A Collector's Gift was compiled by Olivia Fitzpatrick and a team of assistants and was available at the exhibition, which opened with the inaugural lecture of the series: see above p. 3. Catalogue details not pertaining to provenance and to be found more generally in Wade, have not been repeated here. A few details of provenance for some items have been added to this list. The provenance of each title was not specifically recorded prior to 2006 unless noted in the UCC Library catalogue record. Errors in A Collector's Gift have been silently corrected
Creative Assets and the Changing Economy
No full textThis paper evaluates recent claims that art and culture have become more valuable assets in the new economy. Based on conversations with several prominent cultural economists, the author argues that advocates and scholars should be more cautious in their attempts to draw out the implications of the changing economy on culture. Rather than spend time calculating the impact or size of the “creative economy,” the author argues that we should direct our analytical and policy energies toward better understanding how creative work and institutions are changing and what might be done to foster a more robust, creative and diverse cultural life.
Ethnicity Sensitive Author Disambiguation Using Semi-supervised Learning
No full textAuthor name disambiguation in bibliographic databases is the problem of
grouping together scientific publications written by the same person,
accounting for potential homonyms and/or synonyms. Among solutions to this
problem, digital libraries are increasingly offering tools for authors to
manually curate their publications and claim those that are theirs. Indirectly,
these tools allow for the inexpensive collection of large annotated training
data, which can be further leveraged to build a complementary automated
disambiguation system capable of inferring patterns for identifying
publications written by the same person. Building on more than 1 million
publicly released crowdsourced annotations, we propose an automated author
disambiguation solution exploiting this data (i) to learn an accurate
classifier for identifying coreferring authors and (ii) to guide the clustering
of scientific publications by distinct authors in a semi-supervised way. To the
best of our knowledge, our analysis is the first to be carried out on data of
this size and coverage. With respect to the state of the art, we validate the
general pipeline used in most existing solutions, and improve by: (i) proposing
phonetic-based blocking strategies, thereby increasing recall; and (ii) adding
strong ethnicity-sensitive features for learning a linkage function, thereby
tailoring disambiguation to non-Western author names whenever necessary
Psychoanalysis as a positive interventions in the treatment of schizophrenia
No full textEndeavour to demonstrate psychoanalysis as a positive intervention in the treatment of schizophrenia. Questions compelling research and investigation for this Final Year Project; What happens to the ‘I’, the self in schizophrenia? In the disintegration of the self and the diminishment of boundaries between reality and phantasy what happens to the unconscious and the psyche. How does the language of Schizophrenia; this concoction of bizarre mutterings, delusions and hallucinations, function, for the Schizophrenic? How does the person experience the disintegration associated with Schizophrenia? Can psychoanalysis assist in developing a sense of self and an awareness of the other? The author would like to further investigate the question; is psychosis connected to the very thing that makes us human? However this lies outside the scope of this Final Year Project.

Male gender role conflict and its effects on the therapeutic relationship
No full textThis study examines male gender role conflict (GRC) and its effect on therapeutic relationships in Ireland. The research was conducted to identify if psychotherapy and counselling training or personal therapy has an effect on GRC. Further investigation explored how GRC affects a man’s decision to seek counselling, and also its influence on their choice of gender when choosing a counsellor. The results also explore if GRC encourages/affects a preference in gender for the counsellors when choosing a client. The results were achieved by comparing the GRC levels from 20 counsellors and 20 non-counsellors. The GRC levels were obtained using a quantitative approach, employing the Gender Role Conflict Scale-Short Form (GRCS-SF) (Wester, Vogel, O'Neil, & Danforth, 2011) (Appendix 1) in order to measure the four factors that GRC affects: Success, Power, and Competition (SPC); Restricted Emotionality (RE); Restrictive and Affectionate Behaviour Between Men (RABBM); and Conflict Between Work and Family Relations (CBWFR).

Choosing, Using, and Building Effective Software Tools for Research with Symbolic Music Corpora
No full textFor a software tool to be useful for musical corpus studies, it should expose symbolic musical data, however it is stored, as a set of musically meaningful software abstractions; and support the batch manipulation of more than one piece of music with the help of these abstractions, preferably on the order of hundreds or thousands. In this chapter, the author explores the landscape of toolkits for analysis of symbolic corpora, including Humdrum and music21. In addition to providing a historical background to these tools, the author explores a number of use cases and introductory approaches to how to get started with each. Finally, the author discusses issues of maintainability and best practice in relation to research software
Hazardous gas detection with an integrating sphere in the near infrared
No full textThis paper describes an optical fibre near infrared Carbon Dioxide sensor. Using an integrating sphere as a test cell, increased path length is achieved due to multiple reflections within the sphere. Carbon dioxide is input into the sphere via an unused optical port. Light from a C + L band ASE source is transmitted through the sphere and any absorption is detected using a near infrared spectrometer. A change in optical intensity was observed at a wavelength of 1.59 um when carbon dioxide was present from which the carbon dioxide concentration can be determinedPUBLISHEDpeer-reviewe
An exploration of the experience of client suicide on the psychotherapist in Ireland
No full textThe literature suggests that professional and personal functioning can be undermined as a result of client suicide. Both anecdotal evidence and research would suggest that overcoming a client‟s suicide can be quite challenging for health-care professionals and good self-care practices are considered important in overcoming these challenges. Despite the number of therapists who experience client suicide, qualitative research is lacking in this area. To capture an in-depth insight into the psychotherapist in Ireland‟s experience of client suicide, this study uses qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with four female psychotherapists. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data and resulted in four common themes. The main focus of this research topic was on whether client suicide impacts the psychotherapist in Ireland and if so, in what ways. It explored how these effects are mitigated. The researcher also explored self-care, self-care practices and considered the roles compassion fatigue, burnout and vicarious trauma may play as a result of client suicide. Results reveal that 100% of respondents were impacted both personally and professionally by their clients‟ suicide with 100% of respondents experiencing a range of trauma symptoms which lasted from a few weeks to a year. Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout were experienced as an amalgamation of events rather than a direct result of client suicide. Overall, what psychotherapists in Ireland found most supportive in mitigating the effects of client suicide were; verbalising their experience, feeling that others understood what they were going through and feeling that what they were experiencing was „normal‟. Good self-care was considered invaluable. Supervisors and colleagues who could empathise with respondents were seen as most helpful in mitigating effects. Personal therapy, when attended, was viewed considered beneficial, while friends and family were seen as less helpful. Author keywords: Impact, therapist, client suicid
