Job Protection And Wage Replacement: Key Factors In Take Up Of Paid Family And Medical Leave Among Lower-Wage Workers, Kristin Smith Apr 2019

Job Protection And Wage Replacement: Key Factors In Take Up Of Paid Family And Medical Leave Among Lower-Wage Workers, Kristin Smith

Carsey Publications

In this brief, author Kristin Smith discusses two key factors—job protection and sufficient wage replacement—that influence take up of paid family and medical leave among lower-wage workers. She reports that lower-wage workers have substantially less access to employer-provided paid family and medical leave than higher-earning workers. More than nine in ten New Hampshire residents support guaranteed job protection for all workers taking paid family or medical leave. Eighty-eight percent of New Hampshire workers believe that a wage replacement rate of 60 percent or more for a worker taking leave is the right amount. She concludes that if state and federal …

Digangi, Glenn Diskin, Maximilian Dollner, Agnieszka Kupc, Eric M. Scheuer, Gregory P. Schill, Bernadett Weinzierl, Christina J. Williamson, Pengfei Yu

Faculty Publications

We present the first data on the concentration of sea-salt aerosol throughout most of the depth of the troposphere and over a wide range of latitudes, which were obtained during the Atmospheric Tomography (ATom) mission. Sea-salt concentrations in the upper troposphere are very small, usually less than 10 ng per standard m3 (about 10 parts per trillion by mass) and often less than 1 ng m−3. This puts stringent limits on the contribution of sea-salt aerosol to halogen and nitric acid chemistry in the upper troposphere. Within broad regions the concentration of sea-salt aerosol is roughly proportional to water vapor, …

Healthy Aging & Wellness Initiative, Danielle Koffenberger

M. S. in Project Management

This project is an initial phase expansion in the development and set-up of a community “Healthy Aging Initiative” infrastructure to support healthy life styles. This initiative is a comprehensive program that is built on evidence-based information and the need for early intervention in identifying and intervening in “Early Risk” populations, specifically the Baby Boomers. We plan on educating the community and promoting the adoption of healthy habits and life style changes as a strategy to decrease high impact of chronic disease on cost and quality of life. Promoting this project as a community wide initiative, identifying healthcare organizations as leaders …

People And Conflicts In Dammed New England Landscapes: From A Stakeholder Assessment To A Science-Based Role-Play Simulation, Natallia Leuchanka Diessner, Catherine Ashcraft

New Hampshire EPSCoR

Increased demand to participate in environmental decision-making around highly contentious and wicked problems has shaped the need for participatory processes that prioritize learning and consensus building. Consensus building addresses one of the core issues and downfalls of hard-bargaining approaches to negotiations over water resources: not having the right or all relevant stakeholders represented. Before deciding whether a consensus building process is appropriate for dealing with a natural resource management issue, and if so, who should be involved and what issues should be at the table, a stakeholder assessment needs to be conducted. Such an assessment was conducted as part of …


Evaluation Of Methods To Monitro Per‐ And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas), Alexa Kaminski Apr 2019

Evaluation Of Methods To Monitro Per‐ And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Pfas), Alexa Kaminski

Inquiry Journal 2019

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of manmade environmental contaminants. They have been used since the 1940s for their desirable properties, including ability to repel both oil and water. For this reason, they have been used for industrial applications as well as in consumer products, such as food wrappers, waterproof clothing, cleaning products, and ski wax. Recent studies have shown adverse health effects following exposure to even low concentrations of these chemicals. PFAS are also mobile in the environment and resistant to degradation, so their widespread use has made them a near‐ubiquitous environmental contaminant. The purpose of my …


I Cannot Tell A Lie: Emotional Intelligence As A Predictor Of Deceptive Behavior, Jasmine A. Huffman Apr 2019

I Cannot Tell A Lie: Emotional Intelligence As A Predictor Of Deceptive Behavior, Jasmine A. Huffman

Inquiry Journal 2019

Research has identified that perceived acceptability and likelihood of lying depend on the type of lie and personality characteristics such as honesty, kindness, assertiveness, and Machiavellianism. However, this research has focused on individuals’ experiences of their own emotions and neglected to consider how an individual’s understanding of others and their emotions influences deceptive behavior. I expanded upon this research during the summer of 2018 by investigating the relationship between emotional intelligence, personal intelligence, and perceived acceptability and likelihood of telling four types of lies, which are distinguished from one another based on their motivation (altruistic, conflict avoidance, social acceptance, or …


Looking Into The Eye With Reap, Ryann Boudreau Apr 2019

Looking Into The Eye With Reap, Ryann Boudreau

Inquiry Journal 2019

Keratoprosthesis is an artificial cornea that is surgically implanted in the eye to replace damaged cornea, correcting corneal blindness. Keratoprosthesis offers a unique solution that eliminates the possible rejection of donor cornea, a common problem with keratoplasty. The design used currently for this procedure is Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro), but it has some flaws. Boston KPro needs donor cornea for its design, which is in high demand and short supply. The design is also open to the environment, creating a pathway for bacteria to enter the eye and cause permanent damage. My research through the Research Experience and Apprenticeship Program (REAP) …

Effects Of A Typical Fast‐Food Meal On Arterial Stiffness In Young Adults, Erik J. Harrington Apr 2019

Effects Of A Typical Fast‐Food Meal On Arterial Stiffness In Young Adults, Erik J. Harrington

Inquiry Journal 2019

Fast food is a quick and easy alternative to preparing a meal and is a growing industry that is popular among all demographics and ages. Many younger individuals think that consuming this type of food frequently has no adverse health effects, because their bodies are able to metabolize the food quickly and without noticeable health‐related consequences. One way of assessing the stress that this type of food places on the body is through measurement of arterial stiffness. I conducted a study during the summer of 2018 in the Robert Kertzer Exercise Physiology Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire to …

The Intersection Between Recovery Capital And Authentic Leadership, Melissa Silvey Apr 2019

The Intersection Between Recovery Capital And Authentic Leadership, Melissa Silvey

M.S. in Leadership

Authentic Leadership shares characteristics and traits with individuals who are in recovery from a substance use disorder and works towards building Recovery Capital. Leadership roles have been new to the recovery field, in order to impact policies in the local, state, and federal space due to the ongoing public health crisis of opioid use disorders overdoses and deaths. We see many step out of their role of maintaining their anonymity into the public space to provide leadership related to decreasing the number of deaths related to opioid use in America. These new leadership roles align with Authentic Leadership traits and …


Collective Leadership's Impact On Individual Leadership Competencies, Lyndsey Mccann Apr 2019

Collective Leadership's Impact On Individual Leadership Competencies, Lyndsey Mccann

M.S. in Leadership

As companies progress through the Digital Era, there has been a shift in leadership models as organizations are moving towards a collective approach. However, little is known about the impact on the individual and their ability to grow their leadership skillset in this environment. Utilizing John Zenger and Joseph Folkman’s 16 Leadership Competencies, existing research regarding Collective Leadership models will be analyzed to identify learning processes and individual leadership competencies attained. As a result, reoccurring themes, most common competencies, and suggestions for future research on an individual’s participation in Collective Leadership are discussed.

Connecting Rodents To Our Roots: A Journey Into Education And Outreach, Samm Azen Apr 2019

Connecting Rodents To Our Roots: A Journey Into Education And Outreach, Samm Azen

Inquiry Journal 2019

The natural world often relies on processes that are not immediately apparent to us. Even if such a behind‐the‐scenes process is well researched, that research might have little effect if the public does not learn about it. This article describes my experience researching the important relationship between small mammals, mycorrhizal fungi, and forest health and then describes the outreach program I conducted on this topic. With a research team from the University of New Hampshire and funded by a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), I observed the movement and diet patterns of seven rodent species at the Dartmouth College Woodland. …

Korean‐American Military Brat Lands In Nh And Seeks To Improve Mental Health Training For Future Pediatricians, Claudia R. Maynard

Inquiry Journal 2019

Early recognition of psychiatric disorders is a crucial part of improving a patient’s quality of life. Pediatricians are vital in detecting child anxiety, but studies show a lack of training in evaluating, managing, and treating anxiety disorders. Furthermore, there is limited research regarding clinical decision making among early‐career medical professionals. I joined the Pediatric Anxiety Training Study (PATS), managed by Dr. Nicholas Mian at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester, which aims to improve pediatric residents’ ability to evaluate anxiety disorders. I focused on the possible influence of medical resident characteristics (career focus, interest in child mental health issues, …
