Charles Trevelyan, John Mitchel and the historiography of the Great Famine Christophe GILLISSEN Université de Caen – Basse Normandie The Great Irish Famine produced a staggering amount of paperwork: innumerable letters, reports, articles, tables of statistics and books were written to cover the catastrophe. Yet two distinct voices emerge from the hubbub: those of Charles Trevelyan, a British civil servant who supervised relief operations during the Famine, and John Mitchel, an Irish nationalist who blamed London for the many Famine-related deaths.1 They may be considered as representative to some extent, albeit in an extreme form, of two dominant trends within its historiography as far as London’s role during the Famine is concerned.

    Sunday Times /Behaviour & Attitudes European Elections May 2014 Opinion Poll 3rd – 15th May, 2014 Prepared for Prepared by Ian McShane J.5607 Technical Appendix 2 Technical Appendix ● The results of this opinion poll are based upon a representative sample of 1,545 eligible Irish voters aged 18 years +. ● A separate questionnaire was produced for each of three regions to take the three separate European Election constituencies into account. The number of interviews upon which the representative samples of eligible voters in each constituency is based is as follows: Dublin Constituency 521 Midlands-North-West 513 South Constituency 511 ● As such, the results for each constituency can be deemed to be accurate to within plus or minus 4.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. ● Fieldwork was conducted over the period 3rd – 14th May, 2014 with interviewing carried out at the Behaviour & Attitudes Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing (CATI) Unit at Milltown House in Dublin. ● Interviewing was conducted across all electoral constituencies in the country with households selected for interview by way of Random Digit Dialling (RDD). ● The sample is split across RDD landline numbers and RDD mobile telephone numbers, so as to ensure that individuals living in landline only households, mobile only households, and households with both a landline and mobile telephone are represented in their correct proportions. 3 Technical Appendix ● The subsequent survey results are weighted to reflect the known demographic profile of Irish adults, utilising the most recently published census population estimates from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). ● All aspects of the survey, including the Party Support adjustment factor, are implemented in accordance with the technical and ethical guidelines set down by the Association of Irish Market Research Organisations (AIMRO) and the European Society of Opinion & Market Research (ESOMAR).

  • New Insights Into the Phylogenetics and Population Structure of the Prairie Falcon (Falco Mexicanus) Jacqueline M
    Doyle et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:233 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-4615-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access New insights into the phylogenetics and population structure of the prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) Jacqueline M. Doyle1,2*, Douglas A. Bell3,4, Peter H. Bloom5, Gavin Emmons6, Amy Fesnock7, Todd E. Katzner8, Larry LaPré9, Kolbe Leonard10, Phillip SanMiguel11, Rick Westerman11 and J. Andrew DeWoody2,12 Abstract Background: Management requires a robust understanding of between- and within-species genetic variability, however such data are still lacking in many species. For example, although multiple population genetics studies of the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) have been conducted, no similar studies have been done of the closely- related prairie falcon (F. mexicanus) and it is unclear how much genetic variation and population structure exists across the species’ range. Furthermore, the phylogenetic relationship of F. mexicanus relative to other falcon species is contested. We utilized a genomics approach (i.e., genome sequencing and assembly followed by single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping) to rapidly address these gaps in knowledge. Results: We sequenced the genome of a single female prairie falcon and generated a 1.17 Gb (gigabases) draft genome assembly. We generated maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees using complete mitochondrial genomes as well as nuclear protein-coding genes. This process provided evidence that F. mexicanus is an outgroup to the clade that includes the peregrine falcon and members of the subgenus Hierofalco. We annotated > 16,000 genes and almost 600,000 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the nuclear genome, providing the raw material for a SNP assay design featuring > 140 gene-associated markers and a molecular-sexing marker.

    3rd PID FORUM on National Plans for Rare Diseases: Centres of reference and patients’ registries Hosted by Mrs. Nessa Childers MEP, 26 September 2012 Report INTERNATIONAL PATIENT ORGANISATION FOR PRIMARY IMMUNODEFICIENCIES IPOPI is a charity registered in the UK. Registration No. 1058005. Firside, Main Road, Downderry, PL11 3LE, United Kingdom. Executive Office: Tel/Fax (+351) 21 407 5720 e-mail: [email protected] website: ww.ipopi.org Recommendations 1. Member States should fully develop their national plans/strategies by the end of 2013, and ensure that patients with rare diseases have access to high-quality care. 2. It is not sufficient to adopt a national plan: the adoption must be fully implemented and the plan should have access to sufficient funding to develop the envisioned activities. 3. Patients should be consulted and taken into consideration whenever Member States or the European Union develop policies that may affect their lives. 4. The heterogeneity between national plans demonstrates the need for the EU to play a coordinating role and tackle inequalities in the access to treatment across the Union. 5. Policymakers should ensure that national plans/strategies fully comply with the Council Recommendations, especially when supporting the creation or development of centres of reference and patient registries. 6. Patient registries and national centres of reference should be included when Member States are developing their National Plans for Rare Diseases to encourage research and improve diagnosis and information to patients. 7. PIDs are an important group of rare diseases and as such should be taken into consideration by national policy makers when developing the national plans for rare diseases.

Cox, Professor, Library and Information Science ii Copyright © by James King 2018 iii THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: ARCHIVAL APPROACHES TO CIVIL RIGHTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH James King, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 When police and counter-protesters broke up the first march of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) in August 1968, activists sang the African American spiritual, “We Shall Overcome” before disbanding. The spiritual, so closely associated with the earlier civil rights struggle in the United States, was indicative of the historical and material links shared by the movements in Northern Ireland and the American South. While these bonds have been well documented within history and media studies, the relationship between these regions’ archived materials and contemporary struggles remains largely unexplored. While some artifacts from the movements—along with the oral histories and other materials that came later—remained firmly ensconced within the archive, others have been digitally reformatted or otherwise repurposed for a range of educational, judicial, and social projects.
