Freshwater eutrophication, caused by over-enrichment by P as a result of anthropogenic activity, is increasing worldwide. In response, ROMs that seek to reduce and reverse eutrophication and its effects through the mitigation of inputs of P have been implemented at national and international levels. Current European legislation requires effective mitigation of P loss from catchments containing freshwaters classified as below good status or at risk of not reaching good status by 2015 to be fully implemented by the end of 2012. However, meeting good status poses a major challenge for the Irish Ecoregion. Although measures targeted at preventing P loss from catchments have been implemented, there is inadequate information available on the most appropriate ROMs in different environmental settings. ; TARA (Trinity?s Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.

`Strongly recommended as it provides a very useful overview of a range of methods, mainly textual, for exploring children's experiences. These accounts are placed well in the broader conceptual frameworks concerning both methodologies and ethical considerations' - Educational Review. In essays written by a collection of key, international authors, this book examines methodological and conceptual approaches to researching children. This book is a practical, comprehensive and interdisciplinary guide for advanced students and researchers, exploring a range of studies, and the theoretical and ethi

Little research has considered the nature of parent‐child relationships in stable single‐parent households that have not undergone transitions such as divorce and repartnering. This study explored how single mothers and their children negotiated their relationships in a context where the mother has been parenting alone continuously from early in the child's life. Thirty‐eight children and adolescents and their mothers participated in qualitative semistructured interviews. Both mothers and children characterized their relationship as highly intense and exclusive. Perceived limitations in mothers' resources yielded opportunities for shifting dynamics of power and dependence where children adopted an ethic of care in their relationships with their mothers. In response to this, mothers worked to reaffirm clear distinctions between parent and child roles and protect against role boundaries becoming blurred by exercising their authority and managing children's exposure to household responsibilities. These findings provide insight into how mothers and children negotiated interdependence as they moved functionally between vertical and horizontal interactions in their relationship.

SUMMARY: The data reported and discussed in this article are taken from the Dublin Child Development Study, a longitudinal study which started in 1985 with interviews of 200 women expecting their first child. Using information gathered in the first 18 months of the children's lives, an attempt is made to describe the sample of children as they arrive at the age of 18 months. The findings on the children's development are placed in the context of the study's information on their parents and in the wider social context in which the families lived, in Dublin in the late 1980s.
