Universal Design For Learning (Udl)- Strategies For Engaging Rural Youth Co-Researchers With Informal Stem Learning, Amanda Bastoni, Jayson Seaman, Andrew D. Coppens, Cindy Hartman, Kate Moscouver, Courtnie Lachaine Apr 2024

Universal Design For Learning (Udl)- Strategies For Engaging Rural Youth Co-Researchers With Informal Stem Learning, Amanda Bastoni, Jayson Seaman, Andrew D. Coppens, Cindy Hartman, Kate Moscouver, Courtnie Lachaine

Faculty Publications

This article describes methods and findings from a study focused on youth living in rural communities in northern New Hampshire who struggle with accessing STEM learning opportunities for reasons including economic underinvestment and geographical isolation. These challenges also negatively impact researchers hoping to learn how rural youth benefit from informal STEM learning experiences, which contribute to low-project participation and retention rates. As in other amenity-rich rural areas, the communities in this study are promoting outdoor recreation as a vehicle for economic development. We wanted to understand if outdoor recreation activities tied to economic growth initiatives — activities which youth have …

Factors Affecting Iodine Content Of Cow Milk-A Review, Mmh Khandakar, Ma Islam Mar 2024

Factors Affecting Iodine Content Of Cow Milk-A Review, Mmh Khandakar, Ma Islam

Faculty Publications

This review discusses the importance of iodine as an essential nutrient for human health and the factors that can influence the concentration of iodine in cow milk. For an adult, the daily recommended requirement of iodine is 150 µg/day and the maximum tolerable limit ranges from 600 to 1100 µg/day. Cow milk is a significant source of iodine in many countries, particularly in areas where iodine-rich foods are not readily available. Therefore, evaluating the variables that affect the iodine content of cow milk is important. The iodine concentration of cow milk can vary depending on several factors such as genetics, …

Granite Staters See Illegal Immigration As Serious Issue 3/26/2024, Unh Survey Center Mar 2024

Granite Staters See Illegal Immigration As Serious Issue 3/26/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Four in five New Hampshire residents think illegal immigration is a serious issue in the U.S., although far fewer think it is a serious issue in New Hampshire. The percentage of residents who think illegal immigration is a serious problem has remained steady since 2011. The greatest concerns about illegal immigration are high costs, that it depletes U.S. resources, and crime. Half favor constructing a wall on the southern border and a plurality believe former President Donald Trump would do a better job handling illegal immigration.

Salt Marsh Migration Into Coastal Uplands And Application For Conservation In New Hampshire, Grant Mckown, David Burdick Mar 2024

Salt Marsh Migration Into Coastal Uplands And Application For Conservation In New Hampshire, Grant Mckown, David Burdick

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory

Salt marshes across the East Coast, including New Hampshire, have lost considerable areas of vegetation cover from shoreline erosion and interior pool formation as sea level rise outpaces the marsh’s ability to maintain elevation. Marsh migration, or the inland transgression of halophyte vegetation into upland habitats, is one of the main mechanisms for salt marshes to maintain their areal extent on centennial timescales and recently has been a key strategy discussed by resource managers for shorter term timescales. A literature review was conducted to determine the extent of the research on the topic including biogeochemical drivers, response of the vegetation …

Examining The Utility Of The Early Childhood Development Index (Ecdi) Among Children In The Nigeria Context, Ngozi V. Enelamah, Smitha Rao, Margaret Lombe, Mansoo Yu, Chrisann Newransky, Chrisann Newransky, Melissa L. Villodas, Andrew Foell, Von Nebbitt

Faculty Publications

An estimated 6 million children under the age of five in Nigeria (out of nearly 31 million) risk not reaching their full developmental potential. The dearth of context-relevant measures poses a challenge to the planning and implementation of effective interventions. This study assesses the utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) in Nigeria. We used the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to track progress among 3- to 4-year-old children (n = 11,073); 3-year-old, 51%; female, 49%. Using random calibration samples, the results from psychometric tests indicate that while over half of the children were on track in their development based …


Social Infrastructure And Health Among Mid-Life And Older Adults In Rural America: An Environmental Scan Of Existing Data, Danielle Rhubart, Megan Henly, M. Aaron Guest, Carrie Henning-Smith, Mary Anne Powell Mar 2024

Social Infrastructure And Health Among Mid-Life And Older Adults In Rural America: An Environmental Scan Of Existing Data, Danielle Rhubart, Megan Henly, M. Aaron Guest, Carrie Henning-Smith, Mary Anne Powell

Institute on Disability

Growing evidence shows a relationship between social infrastructure (SI) – the physical places where people gather outside of home and work – and health. However, existing data sources for rigorously investigating this relationship are limited, especially for rural areas. Therefore, we conducted an environmental scan of existing data for furthering research on this topic, with a focus on the rural United States (U.S.). A total of 10 datasets met inclusion criteria. Key information was collated from websites and reviewed by data administrators. We summarize key features of these datasets, including available measures of geography/rurality, SI availability and utilization, and physical, …

Faculty Publications

Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) in fine aerosol particles has been reported at significant concentrations along with sulfate under extreme cold conditions (-35 °C) in Fairbanks, Alaska, a high latitude city. HMS, a component of S(IV) and an adduct of formaldehyde and sulfur dioxide, forms in liquid water. Previous studies may have overestimated HMS concentrations by grouping it with other S(IV) species. In this work, we further investigate HMS and the speciation of S(IV) through the Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) intensive study in Fairbanks. We developed a method utilizing hydrogen peroxide to isolate HMS and found that approximately 50% of …
