The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Noise Levels Due to Commercial and Leisure Activities in Urban Areas: Experimental Validation of a Numerical Model Fed with Crowd Density Estimation Using Computer Vision

Sensors
Noise levels of anthropogenic origin in urban environments have reached thresholds that pose serious public health and quality of life problems. This paper/work aims to examine these noise levels, the underlying causes of their increase and possible ...

Urban form as environmental noise indicators [PDF]

, 2012
The urban form affects all systems and all species in an urban context and influences their behavior from the emission of noise, through its course until reaching the receiver, affecting the global climate. This paper seeks to address the problems of the

Relationship between green space-related morphology and noise pollution [PDF]

, 2016
Green spaces have been proved to have a positive effect on traffic noise pollution in the local scale; however their effects have not been explored on the urban level.
