Abstract Given the increased prominence of a border poll in Ireland, particularly following the outcome of the Brexit referendum, this paper provides an initial assessment of some of the issues that are likely to become central in any debate on this issue. We examine the relative income and growth position of Northern Ireland within a UK and Irish regional framework over time. We further compare, and contrast, in detail aspects of the structure of both economies on the island of Ireland in the areas of educational attainment, trade orientation and the role of Foreign Direct Investment. The paper goes on to analyse other relevant issues, such as the relative strength and weaknesses of the healthcare systems and the factors determining the potential economic cost of Irish unification. The objective of the research is to initiate an evidence-based approach to the question of a border poll and to provide an initial indication of the breadth of detail and analysis required for any debate to proceed in a meaningful manner.

Background: Enabling patients to die in their preferred place is important but achieving preferred place of death may increase the informal carer’s risk into bereavement. Aim: To determine risk factors of family carers bereaved through cancer in Northern Ireland. Design: These results form part of a larger QUALYCARE-NI study which used postal questionnaires to capture quantitative data on carer’s bereavement scores using the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief. Setting/participants: Participants were individuals who registered the death of a person between 1 December 2011 and 31 May 2012; where cancer (defined by ICD10 codes C00-D48) was the primary cause; where the deceased was over 18 years of age and death occurred at home, hospice, nursing home or hospital in Northern Ireland. Participants were approached in confidence by the Demography and Methodology Branch of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. Those wishing to decline participation were invited to return the reply slip. Non-responders received a second questionnaire 6 weeks after initial invitation. Results indicated that risk factors positively influencing bereavement outcomes included patients having no preference for place of death and carers remaining in employment pre- or post-bereavement. In contrast, patients dying in hospital, carers stopping work, being of lower socio-economic status and close kinship to the deceased negatively affected bereavement scores. Family carers should be adequately supported to continue in employment; priority should be given to assessing the financial needs of families from lower socio-economic areas; and bereavement support should focus on close relatives of the deceased.

Political cleavages are often understood as deriving from either deep-rooted social divisions or institutional incentives. Contemporary Northern Ireland provides a test of the mutability of apparently entrenched cleavages to institutional change. Research undertaken before the ceasefire in the 1990s found noticeable asymmetries in the patterns of cleavage within the unionist and nationalist blocs. Within the unionist bloc, economic ‘left–right’ issues formed the main ideological division between the two major unionist parties. This contrasted with an ethno-national source of ideological division between the two nationalist parties. However, the emergence of a consociational form of government structure since then has demonstrated the ability of institutional incentives to reform some aspects of party competition swiftly. As evidence of this, we show that between 1989 and 2004 there was little change in the sources of support for Sinn Féin relative to the SDLP, but the influence of left–right ideology within the unionist bloc was negated as the influence of ethno-nationalism dramatically increased.

Background: In 2003, the British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine (BSRM) published guidelines on amputee and prosthetic rehabilitation, including those with congenital limb deficiency.Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the service provided by the Regional Disablement Service (RDS) to children with congenital upper limb deficiency, against BSRM guidelines.Study Design: Retrospective chart review.Methods: Chart review.Results: Analysis of the group ( n = 44) showed 52% were male, with 61% of children affected on the left side, and 73% having a transverse deficiency. Compliance to individual aspects of the guidelines varied considerably. Only 14 (32%) of children had met with the multidisciplinary team by the recommended age of six months. Analysis of referral sources and timings suggested that children were initially seen elsewhere and later referred to RDS after consultation with a surgeon.Conclusions: RDS compliance with the BSRM guidelines was variable. Particularly disappointing was the low rate of children and families meeting the multidisciplinary team at an early age (< 6 months). The low rate of early referral prompted us to contact all paediatricians in Northern Ireland highlighting the guidelines, the benefits of early contact with RDS and encouraging referral on diagnosis.Clinical relevanceThis work will be of interest particularly to those involved in treating paediatric amputees. The challenges we face in treating upper limb deficient children in accordance with current guidance may not be unique and our study may prompt other units to consider how best to improve service to this group.

SynopsisWork on short-rotation coppice willow as an alternative and renewable energy source began in Northern Ireland in the mid-1970s, prompted by the massive rise in oil prices during that period. Although in the short run oil prices have dropped in real terms, interest in short-rotation coppice willow has ben sustained because of the potential role it has in the development of agriculture, particularly in marginal areas. This is particularly relevant in the current situation of over production of a wide range of agricultural commodities within the European Community and the moves to reduce Government support in the form of farm and export subsidies.Although Salix cultivars have yielded in excess of 30 tonnes dry matter (DM) ha−1 annually under experimental conditions, it is considered that 10–12 tonnes DM ha−1 is a sustainable commercial yield.Melampsora spp. rust has emerged as one of the most important factors limiting the development of short-rotation coppice as a commercial crop. For economic and environmental reasons, the application of fungicide for rust control is not a possibility. Consequently, other disease control strategies have to be established. The main focus of this work is in the selection, for suitability for coppice application, of the widening range of genetic material becoming available from breeding programmes in Canada, Sweden and Finland with a view to their incorporation into mixed stands.End product utilisation is considered a priority area for investigation if short-rotation coppice is to make a contribution to land use and the development of agriculture in marginal areas. Currently two potential end uses are being investigated: firstly fractionation – to produce cellulose for paper manufacture, hemi-cellulose for the production of molasses and lignin for further processing into other industrial chemicals, and secondly the simultaneous generation of heat and power using gasification – ‘combined heat and power’.

AbstractObjectiveTo (i) explore the factors influencing family out-of-home (OH) eating events and (ii) identify possible opportunities for food businesses to support families in making healthier OH choices.DesignFocus group discussions were conducted with parents (six to eight participants per group) and friendship pair discussions (informal interviews with two children who are friends) were conducted with children (5–12 years) throughout the island of Ireland. Both discussions were audio-recorded and analysed using a thematic content analysis.SettingEight focus groups and sixteen friendship pairs were conducted in Northern Ireland and sixteen focus groups and thirty-two friendship pairs were conducted in the Republic of Ireland.SubjectsPurposive sampling was used to recruit a sample of non-related parents and children that represented equal numbers of gender, age, socio-economic status and demographic backgrounds.Results:The main, overarching theme was that families perceived OH eating to be a treat, while health was not currently a key priority for many parents and children. Children were reported to have most responsibility for their own food choice decisions in this environment, with taste and food neophobia having the greatest influences. Parents believed that if food businesses could meet parent and child priorities in addition to health influences, e.g. change cooking methods, and increase flexibility, then families would be more likely to patronise these establishments.ConclusionsThe entire family OH eating experience needs to be considered when developing public health interventions and this research has highlighted key opportunities that caterers could employ to support healthier family OH food choices.

The paper proposes a model of analysis of modern armed conflicts in the world, based on the studied political practices of conflict management in Croatia, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Moldova. The authors highlight the critical conditions for resolving armed conflicts, including addressing security issues, consensus on a peace plan, involvement of minority groups in negotiations, establishing inclusive political institutions, promoting sustainable economic development, and strengthening the role of international organizations in mediating and monitoring peace agreements. The model endeavors to integrate political, economic, and social aspects to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing armed conflict management and settlement.Comparing the conflicts in Croatia, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Moldova, the authors considered the unique historical features of each case and identified their common object. The study of the conflicts allowed for the identification of the main stages of analysis. These stages include forming a historical background of the conflict, explaining its features, conducting an event analysis, studying the main stages of escalation and the current state of the conflict, identifying the main features of its settlement, as well as the characteristics of the post-conflict territories management policy.The study examines how local and international dynamics interact in maintaining or ameliorating conflicts, offering a comparative analysis of different approaches and their effectiveness in various contexts. In this way, the model considers the unique characteristics of armed conflicts in border areas and their governance practices, combining security, economic, social, and political factors essential for understanding the emergence of conflicts, their consequences, and possible solutions.This model has the potential to improve the study and development of conflict resolution policies, as well as to create strategies for conflict prevention and post-conflict reconstruction.

The Republic of Ireland has undergone a process of profound social change since the 1990s. This process of ‘accelerated modernization’ has transformed all aspects of personal and political life including, but not limited to, successive cycles of economic boom (Celtic Tiger economy 1994-2007) and bust (recession 2008 on), changing demographic trends based on inward and outward migration, the growing divide between rural and urban areas, lower fertility rates and the rise of working mothers and the issue of affordable childcare. These changes have impacted on the ludic landscape of Irish children. At one level, play has become transformed into a signifier of social mobility and affluence, with structured, supervised indoor play being deemed to be more socially desirable to unstructured outdoor play. Further class distinctions about play are encoded on the sports field. Irish national sports such as hurling, Gaelic football and camogie, traditionally seen as rural pastimes, are increasingly seen as ways to foster a sense of community for children and their families in the densely populated eastern part of the country. Interestingly, there has been little critical engagement with the ‘play divide’ in the Irish context. This book chapter takes the ‘play divide’ concept to interrogate the status of children’s play in a Covid-19 Ireland from a child-centric perspective. Using data from the national ‘Growing Up in Ireland’ study survey we will explore how the disruptions caused by Covid-19 and the ‘rediscovery’ of the health benefits of outdoor, green play provide us with an opportunity to draw out the classist nature of play in Ireland and contemplate its future direction.

Abstract All recent writers on the Northern Ireland economy agree that it is in a bad state. On this point the spectrum of academic opinion is narrower than on almost any topic examined in this book. It ranges only from those who paint the picture as bleak (e.g. Kennedy et al. 1988, 95-116) through to those who paint it as catastrophic (e.g. Rowthorn and Wayne 1988, 70-104). Unemployment is high. Emigration is rife. A substantial minority of the population lives in poverty. Manufacturing jobs have declined by 40 per cent since 1973. Attempts to start up new industries to compensate for the decline of old ones have had limited success. The economy is unhealthily dependent on public-sector jobs. Public services are maintained only by enormous subsidies from the rest of the United Kingdom.

Abstract This chapter focuses on a qualitative study with 20 older adults and their family members who are from different economic backgrounds in Jaffna District in northern Sri Lanka. The participants were members of the Church of American Ceylon Mission of Sri Lanka. This study was conducted to shed light on the unacknowledged roles and contributions of older adults in a Sri Lankan Tamil Indigenous community. It is significant that Indigenous older adults contributed to the well-being of their families and communities in many ways but were rarely recognized and appreciated by the younger generation. Due to the impact of globalization, Indigenous family systems are changing, and a nuclear family system is being adopted. The study showed that the Indigenous elderly contributed to their families by looking after their grandchildren and taking on responsibility for household chores. Some of the older persons financially supported their children by giving some or all of their pensions to them. Some participants stated that they sold their own properties to support their adult children. Their children believed that in their community, looking after the grandchildren is traditionally performed by grandparents. The adult children, reported older adult participants, did not value their parents’ contributions because they believed that their parents depended on them.

Encouraging technology-based entrepreneurship is central to the policy agendas of governmental and non-governmental economic development agencies in many industrialised and newly-industrialising countries. Entrepreneurs are central to venture creation and evidence indicates that, following secondary and, typically, tertiary education, most work for one or more employers prior to establishing a technology-based venture on their own or with others. As a result of this “entrepreneurial apprenticeship” many technology entrepreneurs establish businesses in their mid- to late thirties. Developing a thorough understanding of product/service markets and devising strategies to access, serve and support customers are major challenges for founders of technology-based businesses. Ventures established by individuals or groups with relevant commercial experience benefit from the knowhow and networks of their founders. This paper explores the role of university business plan competitions in stimulating entrepreneurial activity and technology transfer from two universities in Northern Ireland by focusing on entrants in the 2007 £25k Enterprise Award Scheme business planning competition. Such initiatives tend to attract students/recent graduates and members of university staff which raises the question as to how such teams develop commercially-robust ventures, given that, on the face of it, most have little or no commercial experience. Based upon analysis of the business plans of the top ten ventures from the 2007 competition this paper explores characteristics of the entrepreneurial teams, their choice of product/service offerings and aspects of the markets they target.
