The document discusses the European Research Council (ERC), established by the European Commission. It aims to reinforce excellence in research, stay ahead in scientific and technological competition, link science to innovation, compete for talent, and encourage greater investment. The ERC provides long-term funding for excellent investigators and their teams to pursue high-risk/high-reward frontier research. It is independent, supports individual researchers rather than consortia, and uses scientific quality as the sole criterion for funding. The ERC has funded over 9,000 projects, attracted over 60,000 researchers, and awarded several top prizes including multiple Nobel Prizes to grantees for their breakthrough research achievements.

The document describes methods for revising instructional materials based on formative evaluation data. There are two types of revisions: changes to content to make materials more accurate or effective, and changes to procedures for using materials. Data is collected through one-to-one trials and analyzed in three steps: describing learners, summarizing comments, and combining item and objective scores. Revisions are informed by learner performance, suggestions, and reactions to determine if objectives or items need changes or if instruction needs changing. Data is also collected from small group and field trials to evaluate material and instruction effectiveness.
Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician from the 2nd century BC. He is considered the founder of trigonometry and is most famous for his discovery of the precession of the equinoxes. Hipparchus made highly accurate observations and models of the motion of the sun and moon. He developed trigonometry, constructed trigonometric tables, and may have developed the first method to reliably predict solar eclipses. Hipparchus compiled the first comprehensive star catalog of the western world and possibly invented the astrolabe and armillary sphere. His work in astronomy and trigonometry was not superseded for over 300 years.

Mapping city, town and country since 1824: the Ordnance Survey in Ireland - RIA Library/IHTA Lunchtime Lectures
Lecture delivered by Paul Walsh on behalf of Prof. Ó Muraíle.
This paper addresses the difficulties of naming places in Ireland, the work done by the OS Topographical Dept. and especially John O'Donovan to ensure that names used on the 6" maps were as accurate as possible. The difficulties presented by the Irish language, the methodologies used by Placenames staff and the tensions between accommodating the Irish language origins or versions of names and later Anglicised forms are discussed, as are the compromises which were made. The accuracy of O'Donovan's method is assessed

Day describes the work of the OS and in particular, of the Hill Drawing and Topographical Departments. She refers to the intellectual breadth of Colby and Larcom, the two key drivers of the Survey in Ireland and their connections with the main intellectual societies in Britain and Europe. The role played by the Irish Survey vis-à-vis the Trigonometrical Survey of India, led by George Everest, is discussed. The military training included drawing skills and some of the major exponents of artistic endeavour in the military wing of the OS are presented. Finally, the 1,600 drawings contained in the OS Memoirs are discussed in terms of their content, level of skill and their role in the Survey.

This paper addresses the mapping of Dublin city from John Rocque's map of 1756 down to the OS mapping of the city 1830-40s, all within the canal ring. Outlining the limitations and exigencies of mapping in different periods, the various types of map, from estate maps, street directories, administrative maps etc., Goodbody surveys the mapping heritage of the city interpreting the maps under discussion, highlighting idiosyncracies and pointing to the developments in mapping the city.

Herity focusses on the period 1830-61 and O'Donovan's involvement with the OS 6" mapping project and the centrality of his role. His expertise in the Irish language and grasp of etymology, as well as his intimate knowledge of the history and antiquities of Ireland, resulted in the connection of 'placenames with history... raising them above mere words'. The importance of O'Donovan's fieldwork, keen ear, in-depth knowledge and forensic research are described, as are the treks he engaged in on a daily basis throughout the country. His connection with Petrie's work on Tara is adverted to. Betham's vituperative criticisms and the consequent scrutiny of the Memoir scheme and the OS work is discussed. Examples are provided of O'Donovan's linguistic prowess and his acerbic wit.
Paul Walsh, 'George Petrie's "Topographical Department" 1835-42'. 15-10-2014The Royal Irish Academy
The document summarizes the work of George Petrie and the "Topographical Department" from 1835-1842 in compiling detailed maps and historical records for Ireland. It outlines how Lieutenant Thomas Larcom conceived of collecting additional local information beyond just maps. George Petrie was put in charge of the "orthography and etymology" work of gathering over 144,000 place names and other details about the landscape, settlements, and history of Ireland to accompany the maps. The project aimed to provide a comprehensive geographical information system of maps integrated with historical and cultural memoirs of each area of Ireland.

Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis: Population and Settlement - Rob KitchinThe Royal Irish Academy
Royal Irish Academy Conference: Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis
23 April, 2013, Academy House
The on-going crisis and associated responses to it (political, governance, popular etc.) provides an entry point for a wide-ranging exploration of spatial justice as a theoretical construct and a departure point for empirical analysis. Discourses of justice, equality and fairness remain central to a range of interconnected debates as Ireland seeks to recover from the interrelated collapses of the banking system and property markets and the knock on effects through the rest of society and the economy. Scale is an important dimension in framing and constructing popular discourses concerning issues of justice, e.g. the role of EU institutions in shaping Ireland’s treatment of banking debt or the impact of national budgetary measures on particular places. The focus of this conference is on understanding these spatially connected processes, how they are functioning at different scales, their impact on particular or specific places and spaces, as they give rise to new or evolving social and economic geographies.
This document discusses spatial justice and emigration from Ireland. It notes that while many saw high emigration in the 1950s as normal, others felt it was driven by economic constraints. More recently, emigration is more voluntary as the emigrants are highly educated youth seeking opportunities abroad. The concept of "spatial justice" and how spaces are produced socially is discussed as a framework for understanding emigration patterns. While useful, spatial factors alone do not determine who emigrates - class, gender, ethnicity and other social factors are also important predictors. A multifaceted approach is needed to understand the cultural, geographic, economic and policy drivers of emigration and its impacts.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
