Futurama: An Immersive Experience Of America's Automotive Future, James Miller

Journal of Motorsport Culture & History

General Motors’ Futurama exhibit at the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair offered a wildly popular immersive experience of American automobility twenty years in the future. The Fair proclaimed the “Dawn of a New Day” in “The World of Tomorrow” through comprehensive innovative architecture and design, which promoted the primary role of new technology, especially in the field of transportation. Futurama harnessed techniques of theatre and multi-media in unprecedented ways. Its narrow aim was to foster the construction of new highway systems hospitable to the growing population of modern cars. More broadly, Futurama sought to inculcate a new way of thinking …

Environmental Sustainability And The Framing Of Formula E Motor Racing In Uk And Flemish Newspapers, Timothy Robeers

Journal of Motorsport Culture & History

Developed in cooperation with the Fédération Internationale d’Automobile (FIA) as motor sport’s governing body, the fully electric racing series Formula E represents itself as a driving force in making the motor sport and automotive industries more environmentally sustainable (hereafter: ES). However, the question remains whether such ES efforts are picked up on by the media, and more specifically newspapers that are still considered a benchmark for in-depth and reflective journalism, despite a dramatic rise of online and social media coverage of sport. Combining a quantitative content analysis with a qualitative framing analysis, this article identified, compared and contrasted frames, and …

Inequities In Job Recovery During The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Year Later, Rogelio Saenz, Corey Sparks, Asiya Validova

Carsey Publications

In this brief, authors Rogelio Sáenz, Corey Sparks, and Asiya Validova report that in April 2020, after the first two months of significant spread of COVID-19 in the United States, nearly 25 million fewer people had a job. In June 2021, there were still 5.9 million fewer people employed, representing a drop of 3.7 percent in workers since before COVID. Workers of color, women, and those with lower levels of education have consistently had the highest unemployment rates, a trend that persisted through June 2021.

The recovery of the workforce has not been equal, with dramatic differences based on race/ethnicity, …

Casebooks, Bias, And Information Literacy—Do Law Librarians Have A Duty?, Kathleen Fletcher

Law Faculty Scholarship

The third principle of the American Association of Law Libraries’ Principles and Standards for Legal Research Competencies states, “A successful researcher critically evaluates information.” This evaluation includes evaluating legal information of material under criteria of “authority, credibility, currency, authenticity, relevance, and bias. ”Does this standard include information contained in legal casebooks? This article’s goal is to show examples of case treatment in casebooks in Constitutional Law, Property, and Civil Procedure which demonstrate authors’ biases in their selection and editing of cases. Under the AALL standards and the ACRL Standards and Framework for Information literacy, librarians should teach students how to …

Cover Crop-Based No-Till For Small Farms: Tradeoffs Of Termination Time, Method, And Ecosystem Services, Natalie Lounsbury

Doctoral Dissertations

Agriculture must adapt to and mitigate multiple environmental crises including climate change, overuse of herbicides, and soil degradation. Cover crops are a promising tool to do so because they protect soil from erosion, increase perenniality (i.e. year-round plant cover) and carbon contributions to farming systems, capture, recycle, and fix nitrogen, and suppress weeds through multiple mechanisms. Terminating high-residue cover crops to produce an in situ mulch for no-till production has added benefits of eliminating the need for tillage, protecting soil against extreme precipitation events and drought, and contributing to weed suppression. However, there are few non-chemical ways to terminate cover …

The Dissemination And Reproduction Of Dominant Ideologies On Social Media: Reddit Through The Lens Of Color-Blind Racism And Gender-Blind Sexism, Paul Anskat

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explores the frameworks of color-blind racism and gender-blind sexism as they are disseminated through the social media site Reddit. I analyze data in the form of posts and comments submitted to the site. Qualitative discourse analysis reveals employment of the frames of color-blindness and gender-blindness as well as narratives which function to anchor the dominant ideologies to apparent lived experiences. This dissertation offers two major contributions to the scholarship of racism and sexism. First, the findings demonstrate that ideologies of race and gender are often articulated through common narratives and intertwined rhetoric, establishing a foundation for future research …

"It's Not Just Sailors And Bikers Anymore": How Tattoo Artists' Experiences Of Stigma Vary By Gender, Morgan Stevens

Master's Theses and Capstones

Past literature has largely focused on the stigmatization of those with tattoos, but the experiences of tattoo artists themselves have largely been overlooked. It is important to focus on tattoo artists given their critical position as the subjects of stigma and their role in challenging it. Tattoo artists are privy to their own experiences with tattoo stigma, the stigma of working in a deviant occupation, and are frequent observers of the stigma others experience for similar reasons. To explore these topics and how the occupation itself is gendered, thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with tattoo artists in New Hampshire. From …

Pharmaceuticals And Personal Care Products In New Hampshire: Prevalence And The Influence Of Microbial Communities On Removal During Wastewater Treatment, Carmela Sarah Antonellis

Master's Theses and Capstones

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) represent a class of 10,000+ emerging contaminants that are widely used in communities for a variety of medical, health, and care applications. Many PPCPs are biologically active compounds, are typically unregulated in drinking water and surface waters, and may be incompletely removed in our municipal wastewater treatment systems. Understanding the sources and fate of PPCPs in the environment is important to protecting ecosystems because some compounds may pose toxicity or result in behavioral impacts to aquatic species. This thesis evaluated the presence and concentration of PPCPs in surface water sample locations in New Hampshire's …

Permeafor Testing Of Granular Soils, Alex Lefebvre

Master's Theses and Capstones

There are currently several in situ and laboratory methods of determining hydraulic conductivity of soils, however, it remains a difficult parameter to obtain accurately and economically. Current laboratory tests are performed on soil specimens that are disturbed by the sampling process and only represent a portion of the overall site. Some in situ testing methods are also available such as the pump test but are expensive and provide an average value of conductivity for the site. As a result of this averaging, critical zones of high or low hydraulic conductivity in the profile could be missed and represented by a …

The Role Of Stat3 In Cisplatin Resistant Ovarian Cancer, Sarah Miseirvitch

Master's Theses and Capstones

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 21,410 women will receive a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and 13,770 women will die from ovarian cancer in 2021. Typically, ovarian cancer is not diagnosed until it has reached stage III/IV in its progression. By later stages of disease, an ovarian cancer tumor has migrated to the peritoneum, existing either in single cell or spheroid form, and resulting in inflammation and buildup of ascites fluid, and metastasis of secondary tumors. Ascites fluid is comprised of many different secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, proteases and cytokines. The cytokine IL-6 is abundant in ascites fluid …

The Effect Of Wood-Fiber Substrates On Natural Disease Suppression And The Efficacy Of Rootshield®Wp Against Rhizoctonia Solani, Isobel Michaud

Master's Theses and Capstones

As by-products of the forest industry, wood fibers (WFs) are affordable and sustainable raw materials that have risen in popularity in the last decade to help meet the demand for soilless substrates. Wood fibers are high in hemicellulose and cellulose content yet have lower lignin content than Sphagnum peat, coconut coir, and tree bark-based growing medium components. Researchers have demonstrated that wood is more microbially active than peat and that WFs from pine and poplar have significantly greater fungal diversity and abundance than peat and coir, which can have higher bacterial diversity than WFs. However, the effects of WF-associated microbial …

Honoring The Mother Of All People; Contemporary Indigenous Leadership In Revitalizing Environmental And Cultural Sustainability, Katharine A. Duderstadt, Alexandra G. Martin, Svetlana Peshkova, Siobhan Senier, Jennifer F. Brewer, Daniel R. Howard

Faculty Publications

This series of events brings Indigenous perspectives from 22 Indigenous speakers across the U.S. and Arctic regions to discussions of sustainable futures within the New Hampshire community. There is growing movement in the academic community to understand how Indigenous knowledge and cultural heritage can deepen our thinking about sustainable futures. While most researchers recognize that anthropogenic climate change and other sustainability challenges require humanistic as well as scientific approaches, many have yet to thoroughly understand the colonial legacies that initiated many of these sustainability problems and continue to impede our study and solutions. The 2020-2021 Sidore Series was designed to …

Approval Of Biden Drops In New Hampshire Amid Afghanistan Woes But Majority Agree With Decision To Withdraw 8/24/2021, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Six in ten New Hampshire residents disapprove of President Biden's handling of foreign affairs and for the first time, a majority disapprove of his overall job performance. Most Granite Staters say he is at least somewhat to blame for the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban while others also blame the Afghan government and former U.S. presidents. Despite this, a majority support Biden's decision overall to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Relationship Form And Function: Exploring Meaning-Making In Young Adults' Romantic Histories, Tyler B. Jamison, Caroline M. Sanner

Faculty Publications

Forming stable, supportive romantic relationships is an important determinant of well-being for adults. Yet, there has been limited research about if and how prior romantic experiences help individuals develop the capacity to enter into such unions. Using grounded theory methods, relationship history interviews were conducted with 35 young adults who provided data about 256 romantic and sexual relationships. The different relationship forms (e.g., hooking up, casual dating, committed partnering) were found to contribute in nuanced ways to romantic development. Specifically, romantic development was characterized by gaining romantic experience, identifying preferences for partners and partnership, and learning to maintain healthy relational …
