An Analysis Of Road Safety And Older Driver Behaviour, Tara Mchugh
An Analysis Of Road Safety And Older Driver Behaviour, Tara Mchugh
Students Learning with Communities
This paper analyses road safety and the behaviour of older drivers in the area of County Monaghan. County Monaghan is a border County with many of the interviewees living in border towns. The literature review covers aspects related to issues regarding road safety and driver behaviour, not only to older drivers but to drivers of all ages. The literature review revealed the importance of road safety worldwide, highlighting the hazardous outcomes of negative driver behaviour. A methodology was planned and carried out to analyse older driver behaviour. A pilot study was conducted to determine the suitability and relevance of the …

Traders on Dublin’s two main shopping streets considerably over-estimate spending by shoppers travelling by car and Luas while significantly undervaluing the spend of bus passengers and pedestrians. A study interviewed 1,009 shoppers on Grafton and Henry streets seeking to identify differences (if any) between perceived and actual spending levels by travel mode. Bus carried 35% of shoppers to Grafton St and 49% to Henry St; this compares with traders’ perceptions of 31% and 40% respectively. Measured in value terms, bus proved the most lucrative mode to both streets, delivering 38% of the total spend on both streets, when outliers are …

The Use Of Knowledge Management Techniques To Aid Learning Retention In On-Line Learning Environments, Frank O'Reilly
The Use Of Knowledge Management Techniques To Aid Learning Retention In On-Line Learning Environments, Frank O'Reilly
Students Learning with Communities
The focus of this research is e-Learning and Knowledge Management and the synergies between them. While they are both very distinct and different domains, they share the twin goals of delivering personal advancement and improving performance through the acquisition of new skills. They both set about to achieve these goals by means of knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer. However, both disciplines suffer from poor reputations due to low success rates – sometimes perceived, but often real. In particular, e-Learning has failed to live up to the promise it was said to show when it emerged as the successor to Computer-Based …

12. Analysis Of Community Garden Soil And Leaves For Heavy Metals, Farwa Said
Students Learning with Communities
The purpose of this project is to determine the level of trace metals concentrations in soil samples and also in food. For this approach several soil samples and few leave samples were collected from an old community garden for this analysis. The samples were sieved in two fractions using sieve analysis and extracted using the nitric acid digestion. These samples were analysed by ICP-OES and AAS to determine the level of heavy metals present in soil. The results obtained indicated high level of Pb found in soil especially in patch A followed by B, C and D sample and very …
Driver Behaviour Near Schools In South County Dublin, Bernadette King
Driver Behaviour Near Schools In South County Dublin, Bernadette King
Students Learning with Communities
This study assessed the driver behaviour of 1,200 drivers near three schools in South County Dublin. This literature review focuses on articles discussing factors believed to influence drivers speed choice and the perception of drivers towards speed limits and explore how the theory of planned behaviour or reasoned action has been used to improve prediction and explanation of driver behaviour. The primary goal of this study was to assess driver behaviour near three schools and establish if they are complying with the posted speed limit. It also set out to seek to establish what factors if any were associated with …
