Originally from India, she moved to the west of Ireland to be Swith her husband, Praveen. On 21st October 2012, she and Praveen arrived at University College Hospital Galway. Savita was 17 weeks pregnant and suffering from back pain. Told she was miscar- - fused each time, once given the reason that Ireland was a ‘Catholic country’. Finally, after Savita had spent 2 ½ days in agony, the foetal heartbeat stopped and the foetus was removed. Savita died on 28 October 2012. Her death was recorded as a result of severe sepsis, E. coli in the bloodstream and a miscarriage at 17 weeks. Having returned from Savita’s funeral in India, Praveen recounted her story to the Irish Times. It was woman to die through refusing her a termination, was receiving global attention. That evening, within only a few hours of the story being posted, several hundred attended a vigil outside the Dáil (Irish rallies did not occur in a bubble, but have been the focal point of a change of mood over the last year or so in relation to a woman’s right to choose. Ireland’s barbaric position came about through the suc- cess of anti-choice lobby groups in blurring the distinction between Church and State, resulting in a Background The 1861 Offences Against the Person Act prohibited the procurement of a miscarriage within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

This essay argues that nationality is all too easily conflated with ‘race’ or ethnicity, such that a seeming essence or givenness is manifested amongst all those within a particular geographic boundary. It is suggested that on the contrary, there is nothing natural about nationality as commonly understood; this being so, it must be continually shored up and reconstituted through social, linguistic and material practices.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Information Sciences and Technology AN INVESTIGATION OF CONTEXTUAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY A Thesis in Information Sciences and Technology by Jwee Kiat Benjamin Yeo © 2007 Jwee Kiat Benjamin Yeo Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Jwee Kiat Benjamin Yeo was reviewed and approved* by the following: Eileen Trauth Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee Steven Sawyer Associate Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Andrea Tapia Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology Christopher Benner Assistant Professor of Geography Joe Lambert Graduate Program Chair, College of Information Sciences and Technology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In the current world economy, the most technologically advanced economies are knowledge-based. These countries have utilized knowledge as a crucial factor in production. Information and knowledge are directly productive forces in the knowledge economy, and information becomes the critical raw material of processes and organizations. As governments initiate efforts to develop knowledge production processes in a knowledge economy, the means to develop a sustainable knowledge economy becomes relevant. Three broad veins categorize existing research on the knowledge economy at the macro level. The first looks at theoretical conceptualizations of a secondary information sector that leverages output from the primary information sector for production. The second focuses on specific industries. The third uses innovation as a proxy to study the knowledge economy empirically. The concept of knowledge work is abstract.

  • 1 Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland Presents Itself As Somewhat of a Peculiar
    Xenophobia and Radicalism in Ireland (2017) Dr William Allchorn Introduction Ireland presents itself as somewhat of a peculiarity when looking at forms of Xenophobia and Radicalism. As this report will discuss, Ireland’s above average support for migrants and lack of an organised or successful radical right political scene marks it out as an anomalous case of moderation tolerance within Western Europe. Moreover, elite discourse towards minorities and migrants tended to be positive on the whole in the period under study (2017). This is not to say, however, that Ireland has not had it struggled with exclusionary practices. As this report highlights, hate crime is still not a specifically enforceable criminal offence and third-party recorded statistics mask the underreporting of these incidences. Moreover, minority representation among law enforcement agencies is remarkably low. This report will therefore look into the period under study and suggest how far Ireland is an anomalous case - focusing on changes in legislation, the current state of law enforcement practices, rhetoric of government officials, popular attitudes towards migrants (in sport and society) as well as the profile of radical right parties. What will be found is positive adherence to moderation, tolerance and human rights norms on the whole – with some room for improvement in key areas of legislation, law enforcement and underlying popular prejudice against minorities. 1. Changes in Legalisation Protection of freedom of religion and religious expression is enshrined in Ireland’s 1937 Constitution. According to Article 44 of the Constitution of Republic of Ireland, the state shall not patronise any religion, there shall be no discrimination based on religious affiliation, faith or position (including discrimination of schools).

Through textual and contextual analysis of specific extracts of the texts, the article illustrates how de Fréine’s version challenges audiences to consi- der their participation in the social conditions of contemporary marriage, relationships and sexual practices for young women in contemporary Ireland. To this end she draws on Kevin Myers’ “Mother of Bastards” article to highlight the misogyny experienced by unmarried mothers in Ireland. Keywords: De Fréine, Merriman, Cúirt an Mheán Oíche, The Midnight Court, sexual prac- tices, gender, misogyny.

It might not take that many to complete a PhD thesis, but it certainly takes more than one. In my case, it took the inhabitants of a small hamlet.
