What matters now for tourism and leisure postgraduates
(Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest, 2023-09)Tourism has a history of recovering quickly from challenges, and early signs indicate that recovery from the COVID-19, may be no different. People are now hungrier than ever for opportunities to travel, having been starved ... -
Reimagining aging (outdoors)
(Global Perspectives of Social Care/CYC Practice Collective,, 2021-06)Provision of social care must focus on the needs of the cohort for whom it is intended, while recognising their abilities. A person centre approach that is empowering and enhances people’s abilities for self-efficacy, ... -
An examination of Ireland’s sugar sweetened beverage tax (sugar tax) in practice
(Oxford University Press, 2023-06-20)Background In the face of rising obesity levels, Ireland introduced a sugar sweetened beverage tax (SSBT) in 2018, the scope of which was extended in 2019. To date, there is a dearth of research on the actual impact of ... -
Bone tissue engineering scaffold optimisation through modification of Chitosan/ceramic composition
(MDPI, 2023-06-01)A large bone defect is defined as a defect that exceeds the regenerative capacity of the bone. Nowadays, autologous bone grafting is still the gold standard treatment. In this study, a hybrid bone tissue engineering scaffold ... -
