Post-Conflict Peacebuilding In Bosnia‐Herzegovina, Hannah Waller

Inquiry Journal 2015

During the summer of 2014, I lived in Sanski Most, Bosnia-Herzegovina, with funding from an International Research and Opportunities Program (IROP) grant from the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research. Through a series of semi-structured interviews and participant observation, my research highlighted the roles of truth, memory, and justice in rebuilding a post-conflict society in Bosnia-Herzegovina―essentially, on peacebuilding since the war ended in 1995. The Bosnian War stands as the worst genocide since the Holocaust, with 350,000 casualties and over 100,000 dead―80% of whom were Muslim Bosniaks, targets of an ethnic cleansing campaign by neighboring Serbia. Of the interviews I conducted, …

S-100 Overlays: A Brave New World?, Lee Alexander, C. Mcleay

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Marine Information Overlay (MIO) is a generic term used to describe chart and navigation related information that supplement the content that is already contained in an ENC. This includes both static and dynamic information such as tide/water level, current flow, meteorological, oceanographic, and environmental protection. With the advent of S-100 and S-101, there is increased interest in providing a wide variety of ‘new’ overlay information. This paper provides a brief history of S-57 MIOs. Examples of navigational and non-navigation MIOs are given in terms of how currently used, by who, and for what purpose. Recommendations are provided for making a …

Coordination And Sustainability Of River Observing Activities In The Arctic, James W. Mcclelland, Suzanne E. Tank, Robert G. M. Spencer, Alexander I. Shiklomanov

Faculty Publications

To understand and respond to changes in the world’s northern regions, we need a coordinated system of long-term Arctic observations. River networks naturally integrate across landscapes and link the terrestrial and ocean domains. Changes in river discharge reflect changes in the terrestrial water balance, whereas changes in water chemistry are linked to changes in biogeochemical processes and water flow paths. Sustained measurements of river water discharge and water chemistry are therefore essential components of an Arctic observing network. As we strive to establish and sustain long-term observations in the Arctic, these two measurements must be coupled. Although river discharge and …

Presidential Rhetoric: A Call To War In The Post-Cold War United States, Benjamin Larkin

Master's Theses and Capstones

This thesis considers the rhetoric advocating for the use of military force by United States Presidents following the end of the Cold War, using Aristotle’s model of rhetoric as a persuasive tool as a framework. Aristotle asked: What is the character of the speaker? What logical arguments has the speaker made? Has the speaker understood and appealed to the emotions of the listener? As of this writing, there have been four United States Presidents since 1989: George H.W. Bush, William Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Each used rhetoric to advocate for the use of military force. By considering …

Where’S The Consultation? The War Powers Resolution And Libya, Eileen Burgin

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “President Barack Obama triggered a War Powers Resolution (WPR) controversy with his military response to the anti-government rebellion and civil war in Libya in 2011. Members of Congress seized upon the WPR, questioning whether the Obama administration had complied with the WPR’s requirements when the United States launched the initial Libyan Operation Odyssey Dawn (OOD) and subsequently participated in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Operation Unified Protector (OUP). Many legislators charged that President Obama had violated the WPR. Concerns centered on such issues as presidential reliance on the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council—rather than Congress—for authorization to act, …

Operation Digital Elitism: The Combatants And Victims Of Information Warfare, Kendra Mack

Honors Theses and Capstones

This theoretical study examines the roles of digital information warfare participants and asks what roles do general users have in conflicts over digital censorship, privacy, and security. The paper presents three contemporary information warfare case studies and examines the players, victims, and propaganda strategies involved in each. The study concludes that mass digital illiteracy grants control to a small elite who determine the outcomes of information warfare conflicts.

The Obama/Pentagon War Narrative, The Real War And Where Afghan Civilian Deaths Do Matter, Marc W. Herold

Economics

This article investigates two related issues: (1) the on-the-ground experience of the fierce US war. in Afghanistan, in contrast to the Pentagon story and the mainstream media; (2) The relentless efforts of Obama and the Pentagon to control the public account of this war. While the real war spread geographically and violence intensified, so did the efforts of the United States. to build a positive reading. The examination of the corpses (of foreign occupation forces and innocent Afghan civilians) reveals a situation of exchange. The elites of the countries of the NATO countries have understood that they have entered a …

Development Of Guidelines For Using Bioextraction Technologies To Manage Nutrients In New Hampshire's Estuarine Waters, Raymond E. Grizzle

PREP Reports & Publications

There is growing literature on bioextraction approaches to managing nutrients in coastal waters, and it includes studies using a variety of species. Bivalve mollusks and macroalgae have received the most attention for several reasons, but perhaps foremost because of their aquaculture potential. A December 2009 workshop at the University of Connecticut, which included speakers from several countries, indicated overall that although bioextraction approaches hold substantial potential there are still many unanswered questions. The present review takes a “what we know/what we need to know” perspective, and focuses on aquaculture. For some taxa (e.g., eastern oyster), wild populations occur in New …

Experimental Quantification Of Nutrient Bioextracti On Potential Of Oysters In Estuarine Waters Of New Hampshire, Raymond E. Grizzle, Krystin M. Ward

PREP Reports & Publications

This project was a short-term field experiment conducted in summer 2010 and designed to provide preliminary data on the bioextraction (removal) of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) for two different size classes (both <76mm shell height) of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) at six sites in the Great Bay estuarine system in New Hampshire. Sites were chosen to represent a range of ambient nutrient concentrations, water flow conditions, and location within the estuary. Two of the sites were at oyster aquaculture farms: Granite State Shellfish at the mouth of the Oyster River, and Little Bay Oyster Company near Fox Point in Little Bay. At each site, …

Territorial Sovereignty And The Evolving Boumediene Factors: Al Maqaleh V. Gates And The Future Of Detainee Habeas Corpus Rights, Luke R. Nelson

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “In November 2010, the U.S. government prosecuted in a civilian federal court an accused terrorist detainee housed since 2004 at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center (Guantanamo Bay). The Obama Administration considered this trial a “test case” for prosecuting accused terrorist detainees in civilian federal courts. Of the more than 280 charges against the detainee defendant, a civilian jury convicted him of one count and acquitted him of the remaining charges. Yet, the defendant received a life sentence without parole.

This “test case” is one example of a changing landscape in international armed conflict and detainee rights jurisprudence following September …
