Barriers To Hiring And Retaining Educators In New Hampshire, Melissa N. Fazlic

M.S. in Leadership

The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the teacher shortage; however, school districts across the country have faced shortages for many years. While the state of New Hampshire is not alone in the shortage of teachers, New Hampshire faces additional barriers when it comes to recruiting and retaining a diverse group of certified educators. This project explores barriers to hiring educators that include: the demand for teachers, the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching reciprocity challenges, budget constraints and low wages, and local competition. The methodology used includes a combination of research using online tools such as Google Scholar, the UNH virtual library, and …

Youth Identity And Postsecondary Decision Making In A Rural State: Evidence Of A College For All Master Narrative, Jayson Seaman, Cindy L. Hartman, Andrew D. Coppens, Erin H. Sharp, Sarah Jusseaume, Molly Donovan Dec 2023

Youth Identity And Postsecondary Decision Making In A Rural State: Evidence Of A College For All Master Narrative, Jayson Seaman, Cindy L. Hartman, Andrew D. Coppens, Erin H. Sharp, Sarah Jusseaume, Molly Donovan

Faculty Publications

This study examined the normative messages that inform youth postsecondary decision making in a predominantly rural state in the northeastern U.S., focusing on the institutionalization and circulation of identity master narratives. Using a multilevel, ecological approach to sampling, the study interviewed 33 key informants in positions of influence in educational, workforce, and quality of life domains. Narrative analysis yielded evidence of a predominant master narrative – College for All – that participants described as a prescriptive expectation that youth and families orient their postsecondary planning toward four-year, residential baccalaureate degree programs. Both general and domain-specific aspects of this master narrative …

Tales Out Of School: Delineating Student Speech Protections For The Digital Age, Jason Zenor Dec 2023

Tales Out Of School: Delineating Student Speech Protections For The Digital Age, Jason Zenor

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

The way students communicate has also changed greatly over the last generation, but in the first two decades of 21st Century, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to answers questions about the extent of power for school administrators to control off-campus speech on digital technologies. Then in the case of Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L (2021) the U.S. Supreme Court finally answered this question by holding that administrators do have the ability to control off-campus speech. The Court did give some specific scenarios in which administrators had power to regulate off-campus, but it did not give a bright-line rule. …


Exploring The Mechanistic Effects Of Surface Characteristics On Uv254 And Bl405 Disinfection Efficacy, Castine Annastasia Bernardy Dec 2023

Exploring The Mechanistic Effects Of Surface Characteristics On Uv254 And Bl405 Disinfection Efficacy, Castine Annastasia Bernardy

Doctoral Dissertations

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for more robust surface disinfection technologies. Photoinactivation efficacy for microbial pathogens and many surrogates has been well studied for water disinfection. However, there is a limited body of knowledge from research on surface disinfection applications of these technologies. The onset of the global pandemic resulted in a dramatic increase in surface disinfection devices being marketed to consumers, yet regulations for such devices have not been developed. This doctoral research studies the inactivation efficacy of two wavelengths, UV254 and BL405. The objective of this doctoral dissertation was to expand the body of knowledge required to …


Displaying Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyases On Bacillus Subtilis Spore Surface For The Treatment Of Phenylketonuria Through Oral Administration, Guo Wu Dec 2023

Displaying Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyases On Bacillus Subtilis Spore Surface For The Treatment Of Phenylketonuria Through Oral Administration, Guo Wu

Doctoral Dissertations

Bacillus subtilis spores are formed in response to adverse conditions as a survival mechanism. These spores are in a dormant state and do not require any nutrients. Their DNA is wrapped with self-assembled multilayers of protective proteins. These spores are highly resistant to various harsh conditions. B. subtilis spores serve as a well-characterized model for studying endospore formation and have been developed as a platform system for displaying heterologous proteins of various functions. It has been demonstrated that proteins displayed on the spore surface can enhance their robustness and extend their shelf-life, including enzymes as robust biocatalysts and antigens as …

Trading Securities As Digital Tokens: Is A Secondary Market Practicable For Tokenized Exempt Securities?, Chen Wang Dec 2023

Trading Securities As Digital Tokens: Is A Secondary Market Practicable For Tokenized Exempt Securities?, Chen Wang

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

Securities offered under exemptions such as Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A, and Rule 506 without registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are classified as exempt securities. These securities typically lack liquidity in the secondary market. However, the growing popularity of blockchain technology and smart contracts has made token offerings increasingly prevalent. Fintech firms like tZERO and Securitize provide services to tokenize securities that have already been offered, while numerous crypto trading platforms facilitate the trading of digital tokens. In theory, tokenizing exempt securities and making the resulting tokens available for resale on digital token trading platforms could grant these …


Interpreting Parenting Plans As Contracts, William B. Reingold Jr. Dec 2023

Interpreting Parenting Plans As Contracts, William B. Reingold Jr.

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

When parents are divorced or separated, a parenting plan serves as a legal instrument to govern the means by which they raise their children. Most parents are able to compromise and reach an agreed-upon parenting plan without resorting to a trial or court intervention. These agreed-upon parenting plans are, in a manner of speaking, contracts that these parents must abide by. But too often parenting plans are not treated or considered in the same way we perceive ordinary contracts. They should be. This essay examines the interplay between courts reviewing agreed-upon plans, the best interest standard, and basic contract interpretation.


The Potential Of Tropical Montane Cloud Forest Epiphytes To Acclimate To A Drier Microclimate., Emily Anders Dec 2023

The Potential Of Tropical Montane Cloud Forest Epiphytes To Acclimate To A Drier Microclimate., Emily Anders

Master's Theses and Capstones

Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCF) are characterized by frequent cloud immersion and host a rich community of canopy epiphytes. Epiphytes rely on atmospheric inputs of water, making them susceptible to reductions in cloud immersion. We used an experimental cloud reduction experiment in a Peruvian TMCF to examine the potential of five functional groups of vascular epiphytes (orchids, ferns, shrubs, bromeliads, and succulents) to acclimate to reduced cloud immersion via plasticity in morphological and physiological traits related to water use, water storage, and productivity. Complementary data for vascular and nonvascular epiphyte growth and dieback collected over a 3-year period provided additional …

Winter Energy Costs & High Interest Rates Affecting Granite Staters; Most See Housing As Serious Problem 12/1/2023, Unh Survey Center Dec 2023

Winter Energy Costs & High Interest Rates Affecting Granite Staters; Most See Housing As Serious Problem 12/1/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Granite Staters say they are worse off financially than a year ago and report struggling to afford basic necessities and paying winter energy costs. However, New Hampshire residents are slightly more optimistic about their future finances and the overall business conditions in the state. Most say they have been impacted by rising interest rates, and that high interest rates have made them less likely to purchase a car. Nearly three-quarters of residents feel that affordable housing is a serious problem in the state and Granite Staters most often attribute this issue to a lack of supply, greed, and out of …


Little Appetite For Increased Support For Israel; Most See Antisemitism As A Serious Problem 11/30/2023, Unh Survey Center Nov 2023

Little Appetite For Increased Support For Israel; Most See Antisemitism As A Serious Problem 11/30/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Amid calls for increased aid, few Granite Staters feel the United States is not doing enough to support Israel. A quarter feel the U.S. should not support Israel at all, particularly self-described socialists, progressives, and libertarians. Four in five state residents feel that antisemitism is a serious problem in the U.S. while a smaller majority see Islamophobia as a serious problem. Approval of President Joe Biden's job performance remains low and support for his handling of foreign affairs continues to fall.

Biden Ahead In Nh Primary Despite Tepid Support, Not Appearing On Ballot 11/17/2023, Unh Survey Center Nov 2023

Biden Ahead In Nh Primary Despite Tepid Support, Not Appearing On Ballot 11/17/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Despite the fact he will not appear on the January 23rd ballot, nearly two-thirds of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire say they plan to write-in President Joe Biden. Only a quarter of likely Democratic primary voters say they would be enthusiastic if Biden is the nominee, but Biden's rivals currently present little threat as author Marianne Williamson is unpopular and few know much about Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips or expect him to become a serious contender. Granite Staters largely view Biden unfavorably and disapprove of his performance as president, but former President Trump is even more unpopular and …

Trump Maintains Control In Nh Gop Primary; Foreign Policy Increasingly Important To Gop Primary Voters 11/16/2023, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Donald Trump continues to lead the 2024 New Hampshire Republican Primary and he is now the most personally popular candidate among GOP Primary voters. Nikki Haley continues to gain support and is in second place in the GOP field, followed by Chris Christie. On the issues, foreign policy has become far more important since September, while support for a 15-week abortion ban has declined. Few likely Republican primary voters paid close attention to the November Republican debate and only about half are interested in further debates taking place.
