An examination of the career aspirations of Irish children within the framework of goal contents theory
(2020-02-07)
Aims: This study explored the following questions: (a) what are students‟ career aspirations and goal contents? (b) are there predictive factors of students‟ career aspirations and goal contents? (c) how do students‟ career ...
A postcolonial and disability studies analysis of a selection of popular contemporary novels about disability
(2020-12-10)
This thesis will combine postcolonial theory and disability theory to analyse the representation of characters with a disability and their family members in a selection of contemporary popular novels. The texts examined ...
'Write when it hurts. Then write till it doesn’t’: athlete voice and the lived realities of one female professional athlete (Pre-published)
(2020-11-21)
Digital media has played a central role in promoting women’s sport, where female athletes are increasingly using online platforms to control their own representations and challenge male dominated sporting institutions. ...
'Top of the tree': examining the print news portrayal of the world's best female amateur golfer during her transition to professional golf (Pre-published)
(Cork University Press, 2020-05-20)
Sport occupies a central position in Irish social and cultural life, yet has been relatively marginal within the academy. Significant research has been undertaken by individual scholars, and various important books have ...
Graph rigidity for unitarily invariant matrix norms (Pre-published)
(Elsevier, 2020-11-15)
A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in linear matrix spaces endowed with a unitarily invariant matrix norm. Analogues of Maxwell's counting criteria are obtained and minimally rigid matrix frameworks ...
Constructing isostatic frameworks for the l1 and l infinity plane (Pre-published)
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2020-06-12)
We use a new coloured multi-graph constructive method to prove that if the edge-set of a graph G = (V,E) has a partition into two spanning trees T1 and T2 then there is a map p : V → R2, p(v) = (p(v)1,p(v)2), such that ...
Rigidity of symmetric frameworks in normed spaces
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)
We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a ...
