This blood vessel “leakiness” was able to objectively distinguish those patients with brain fog and cognitive decline compared to patients suffering from Long-COVID but not with brain fog. The team led by scientists at the Smurfit Institute of Genetics in Trinity’s School of Genetics and Microbiology and neurologists in the School of Medicine have also uncovered a novel form of MRI scan that shows how Long-COVID can affect the human brain’s delicate network of blood vessels.  “For the first time, we have been able to show that leaky blood vessels in the human brain, in tandem with a hyperactive immune system may be the key drivers of brain fog associated with Long COVID. This is critically important, as understanding the underlying cause of these conditions will allow us to develop targeted therapies for patients in the future,” said Prof. Matthew Campbell, Professor in Genetics and Head of Genetics at Trinity, and Principal Investigator at FutureNeuro. Apparently, this is the first study to correlate blood-brain barrier disruption with "brain fog" symptoms of Long COVID, using an enhanced MRI procedure. This is a very significant step towards the discovery of biomarkers and therapies for neurological manifestations of Long COVID. Great to see this kind of significant research from TCD!

The results of the analysis of Dublin infection cases from the HSE map which show the so-called Remotes are definitely present in the Irish society as the economic wealth is clearly related to chances of being infected. Recently published information shows that 1030 of Covid-19 deaths had happened inside of the nursing homes and other facilities caring for older. This represents 63% of total deaths from Covid-19 in Ireland and suggests that the so-called Forgotten class has suffered the most from the mismanaged public health policy which disregarded their specific life situation. The exact structure and divisions between the new classes of the Irish society in the new Covid-19 world can only be known with the extensive research and dissemination of data related to Covid-19 infections and deaths. It is crucial to abandon the current practices of omitting the data. We must apply the principles developed by John Snow in the 19th century which aim to collect and disseminate as much data as possible. This is the only way we will be able to develop the public health policy which will defeat the virus without scarifying the wellbeing of those who lack the privilege of having high economic and social status. ]]> covid-19 mapping society ireland dublin class https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:a0b6b5219bd9/ Testing times: The science of fighting Covid-19 2020-05-25T09:48:01+00:00 https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/testing-times-the-science-of-fighting-covid-19-1001424.html jm pcr rt-pcr covid-19 sars-cov-2 testing dna rna medicine svuh dublin ireland https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:966cc96af973/ MyDIY 2020-05-18T15:52:13+00:00 https://www.mydiy.ie/ jm diy building construction home dublin ireland https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:3cf4216ee154/ Where To Get Groceries Delivered From In A Lockdown 2020-04-08T09:56:43+00:00 https://www.allthefood.ie/single-post/2020/04/08/Where-To-Get-Groceries-Delivered-From-In-A-Lockdown jm lockdown dublin food shopping deliveries https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:becac22cd757/ Percy Ludgate 2020-03-28T22:04:03+00:00 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Ludgate jm history ireland analytical-engines dublin computers hardware https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:5b050a449ee2/ A New Dublin Group Looks to Deepen What We Know About Plastic | Dublin Inquirer 2020-03-12T12:15:37+00:00 https://dublininquirer.com/2020/03/11/a-new-dublin-group-looks-to-deepen-what-we-know-about-plastic jm precious-plastic recycling plastic making dublin ireland https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:76a1d605d9fb/ Lusca Irish Wine 2019-08-13T09:05:33+00:00 https://llewellynsorchard.ie/premium-quality-from-irish-orchards/lusca-irish-wine/ jmThe entire wine-making process is carried out in Lusk at the vineyard, from picking to pressing, fermenting, maturing and bottling.

The app is not automated to the degree that a cancelled bus service can be flagged on the spot. It has to pass through at least two human decision-making processes before it's removed from the app. In the most simple terms, the system works in such a way that inaccurate information is an inevitable by-product. Similarly, the app struggles to account for buses that are held up in traffic: "When a bus is held in traffic, the predicted arrival time on the RTPI unit will reflect this as it is determined by the bus’ distance between its location and the bus stop and it is not possible to determine the duration of the period of congestion." So while your bus could be 10 minutes away, on a busy main road full of traffic, the app could tell you that it is two or three minutes away, based purely on its distance. ]]> buses public-transport dublin rtpi dublin-bus rants apps mobile https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:f86625e24fa0/ Claremont Court, Crescent and Close; Clareville Court and Grove; Claremont Lawns 2019-04-08T09:53:57+00:00 http://claremontglasnevin.blogspot.com/ jm slutsend west-farm claremont clareville glasnevin history dublin d11 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:87f1bcce7dee/ "Ptolemy's map of Ireland: a modern decoding" 2019-02-16T14:23:07+00:00 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00750770801909375 jmAfter reviewing earlier attempts at reconciling Ptolemy's map with modern ones we adjust Ptolemy's coordinates to modern references with two equations. We find Ptolemy's map is consistent with some intimate Mediterranean knowledge of Ireland, its peoples, coastal features and principal places with their respective locations. We correct some of the modern locations attributed to Ptolemy, offer possible explanations for certain disputed or uncertain locations and offer some external validation to the prehistoric division of Ireland passed down from pre-Patrician sources.

His day job was director of the National Library of Ireland, but during the Emergency, he secretly led a covert team of cryptanalysts, working feverishly on the infamous “Görtz Cipher” – a fiendish Nazi code that had stumped many of the greatest code-breaking minds at Bletchley Park, the centre of British wartime cryptography. Astonishingly, the feat was accomplished not in one of the huts at Bletchley Park, but in a now derelict building colloquially known as “The Red House” on Montpellier Hill in Dublin. If this wasn’t an amazing enough feat, Hayes also broke a complex microdot enciphering system which had baffled the American OSS, as well an enciphering system used by the dreaded Sicherheitsdienst (or SD), the intelligence section of the SS. The breaking of the latter code was instrumental in the Allied victory at the Battle of the Bulge. Few individuals can be said to have altered the course of the second World War on their own, but Hayes was one such individual – and he did it not with a gun, but with a detailed knowledge of the complex algorithms and mathematical permutations involved in the art of cryptography.

Much like its newer neighbor, Internet House, it stood as a technological beacon shining through the luddite fog. With this in mind the Irish Citizen Army targeted the Telephone Exchange in 1916 as one of the communication hubs for the island. While many of us grew up learning of a history of ‘blood sacrifice’ and the futility of the Easter Rising, the truth is that the attack was meticulously planned both militarily and logistically. Sixty communication points around Dublin were hit in an effort to cut off all contact between British military forces within Ireland and to the ‘mainland’. The hope being that reserves and reinforcements would be delayed or misinformed.[...] Unfortunately for the rebels they could not take the Temple Bar exchange. A failure that would prove disastrous. ]]> temple-bar history dublin telephones communications 1916 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:3fe362ba6694/ Waste charges unpaid by 50% of residents in city litter blackspot 2016-05-04T11:10:59+00:00 http://www.irishtimes.com/news/environment/waste-charges-unpaid-by-50-of-residents-in-city-litter-blackspot-1.2632376 jm littering dublin northside dcc law enforcement rubbish bins https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:9d11ed9f1270/ Some great factoids about Glasnevin Cemetery 2016-04-27T10:09:56+00:00 https://comeheretome.com/2016/04/25/the-striking-gravediggers/ jmAnother odd thing was that people from Dublin had to be buried before noon. This was due to the fact that many funerals stopping at the gate would end up so late in the pub the gates would be closed. A number of times the sextant would open up in the morning to find a coffin or two aganst the gates. For years I thought this was made up but it turns out to be true. A friend had a copy of the cemetary bye laws from (I think) around 1908 and it was in there. I think the rule was if you lived within 7 miles of the GPO you had to be buried before 12 noon. ]]> death burial graveyards glasnevin dublin history d11 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:f6e19f68917e/ Emmet Connolly on Twitter: "Stick around after the end credits for a preview of Batman vs Pintman https://t.co/xgWWcvfpc9" 2016-04-12T14:16:04+00:00 https://twitter.com/thoughtwax/status/713876494657916929 jm funny pintman dublin ireland alcoholics twitter history pubs pintmen https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:7e3f11f1ffd3/ So you're thinking of coming to Dublin... 2016-04-06T12:11:43+00:00 https://3fe.com/blog/2016/4/4/so-youre-thinking-of-coming-to-dublin jm dublin travel food drink ireland tourism 3fe https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:6aceb20c56e8/ How wet is a cycling commute in Ireland? 2016-04-04T16:09:19+00:00 http://www.shanelynn.ie/wet-rainy-cyling-commute-in-ireland-with-wunderground-and-python/ jmIt turns out that you’ll get wet 3 times more often if you’re a Galway cyclist when compared to a Dubliner. Dublin is Ireland’s driest cycling city.

The people chosen all worked for change via political means, whether obtaining an independent Irish parliament from 1782-1801 (Grattan), working for Catholic Emancipation (Grattan and O’Connell), land reform (Parnell), or trying to repeal the Act of Union and obtain Home Rule (O’Connell, Parnell, Redmond). All were MPs in Westminster at some point. None openly espoused physical force. None aimed at establishing an independent Irish Republic. Putting the history of parliamentarianism on a banner labelled 1916 suggests that 1916 was in the parliamentarian tradition. That suggestion is very far from the truth. ]]> parliamentarianism 1916 history revisionism dcc dublin politics https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:f8ea7cfe9cf7/ National Children’s Science Centre due to open in 2018 2016-02-25T17:08:07+00:00 http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/national-children-s-science-centre-due-to-open-in-2018-1.2545898#.Vs213wXHu6d.twitter jm The former real tennis court building close to the concert hall’s north wing would be used for temporary and visiting exhibitors, with a tunnel connecting it to the science centre.

It was an important finding, and one he wanted to share with the wider world. The managers of Guinness were not so keen on this. They realized they had an advantage over the competition by using this method, and were not excited about relinquishing that leg up. If Gosset were to publish the paper, other breweries would be on to them. So they came to a compromise. Guinness agreed to allow Gosset to publish the finding, as long as he used a pseudonym. This way, competitors would not be able to realize that someone on Guinness’s payroll was doing such research, and figure out that the company’s scientifically enlightened approach was key to their success. ]]> statistics william-gosset history guinness brewing t-test pseudonyms dublin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:2209fbbfcbd5/ The Locals Xmas Gift Guide 2015 2015-12-03T17:18:29+00:00 http://www.thelocals.ie/features/the-locals-xmas-gift-guide-2015 jm gifts dublin ireland shopping xmas christmas the-locals https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:dd86e6942f45/ Intercom Engineering Insights - Scale and Reliability 2015 2015-12-01T12:15:06+00:00 https://engineering.intercom.io/iei-scale-and-reliability-2015/ jm elasticsearch mongodb intercom engineering talks dublin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:f694aac83c39/
