    Walking the Land of Irish Studies

    Get PDF
    Using the old rural Irish custom of walking the land, this essay locates the Irish presence in the old and new world and surveys the global territory of Irish studies. It considers shared themes of language and cultural, responses to colonialism and history and national identity, and it charts the development of Irish Studies from Ireland to North and South America, to the continent, to Africa, to Asia and the Pacific. Perhaps the most astonishing development is the new page in Irish Studies, the New Irish of the twenty-first century

    Ghosts and Roger Casement in the Work of W.B. Yeats: A Paper and a Post-Script

    Get PDF
    W.B. Yeats first summoned the 1916 patriot Roger Casement as one of the unnamed heroes in his poem “Sixteen Dead Men” which appeared in his collection Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921). He returned to Casement late in his career when, having read with sympathy William J. Maloney’s The Forged Casement Diaries (1936), the poet returned to Casement in three poems in his late New Poems (1938): “Roger Casement,” “The Ghost of Roger Casement” and “The Municipal Gallery Revisited.” Yeats makes his case that Casement was libeled in “Roger Casement”; he describes the figure of Casement in Sir John Lavery’s painting of the trial. “The Ghost of Roger Casement,” Yeats’s most dramatic Casement poem, describes Casement’s ghost’s return tobeat on the door and to indict John Bull. The image of the returned ghost of Roger Casement made the poem popular with fellow Dubliners after it was published in The Irish Press (February 2, 1937). This essay will examine Yeats’s use of ghost tradition in Irish folklore in his early poems and plays and his return to that ghost lore in the Casement poems in New Poems.

    A Usability Analysis Framework for Healthcare Information Technology

    Get PDF
    Healthcare organizations are investing in healthcare information technology (HIT) to improve quality and outcomes. However, HIT has also been known to introduce unintended consequences and adverse effects. The adverse effects range from process changes to serious clinical errors. In order to ensure the safety of healthcare information technologies, we propose a usability analysis framework for healthcare information technology that can help identify, classify and prioritize potential errors. Such a framework can help design better usability studies specifically targeted at studying technology-induced errors and therefore help in the design of safer healthcare information technologies

    Evaluation of prototype air/fluid separator for Space Station Freedom Health Maintenance Facility

    A prototype air/fluid separator suction apparatus proposed as a possible design for use with the Health Maintenance Facility aboard Space Station Freedom (SSF) was evaluated. A KC-135 parabolic flight test was performed for this purpose. The flights followed the standard 40 parabola profile with 20 to 25 seconds of near-zero gravity in each parabola. A protocol was prepared to evaluate the prototype device in several regulator modes (or suction force), using three fluids of varying viscosity, and using either continuous or intermittent suction. It was felt that a matrixed approach would best approximate the range of utilization anticipated for medical suction on SSF. The protocols were performed in one-gravity in a lab setting to familiarize the team with procedures and techniques. Identical steps were performed aboard the KC-135 during parabolic flight

    L’« idée » d’Afrique , telle qu’elle s’est construite au fil des siècles en Occident, renvoie à une réalité aux contours flous, située hors du temps, circonscrite aux frontières du continent et globalement « autre ». Mis en exergue à partir des années 1980, les ressorts de cet imaginaire ont fait l’objet de nombreuses analyses développées essentiellement dans le monde anglo-saxon, au cœur d’un courant de recherches dit « postcolonial ». Ces travaux de déconstruction, dont le parti pris fut bi..
