Art In Climate Argumentation, Matthew Morely May 2023

Art In Climate Argumentation, Matthew Morely

Comm-entary

My paper examines the role of art in the environmental crisis that we are currently facing. I believe that the climate emergency is largely the result of a disconnect between the scientific community and the non-scientific community. In other words, scientists are trying to portray scientific information to a non-scientist demographic. I believe that if we are to prevail during these uncertain times, we need a middleman between these two parties. We need someone who is able to take the information that the scientists are bringing to the table and break it down to non-scientists in a way that makes …

Empathy Meditation To Soothe Division, Kaley Lambert May 2023

Empathy Meditation To Soothe Division, Kaley Lambert

Comm-entary

In that widespread lack of empathy and the presence of excess stress may be contributing factors toward harsh social division in the United States, programs to increase empathy and decrease stress may help to soothe these issues. Classrooms act as spaces which may be specially suited to trial and implement such programs. This research presents the foundational backing for such programs, and offers a detailed proposal for one set within the structure of a college level course.

Remembering The Aids Crisis & Act Up: The Failures Of The American Public, Government, And Cultural Institutions, Céilí Flot May 2023

Remembering The Aids Crisis & Act Up: The Failures Of The American Public, Government, And Cultural Institutions, Céilí Flot

Comm-entary

This paper discusses the history of the AIDS crisis and the activist group ACT UP. During the early stages of the outbreak, there was much confusion and hysteria surrounding the nature of the illness. Many misconceptions about the illness had led to inaction from the public and government. In response, ACT UP had formed to address this inaction. This paper analyzes a set of six photographs taken during ACT UP’s protest efforts and analyzes the arguments within them.

Kill ‘Objectivity,’ Save The Planet, Kaley Lambert May 2023

Kill ‘Objectivity,’ Save The Planet, Kaley Lambert

Comm-entary

This piece argues that objectivity is a flawed journalistic standard that is detrimental to pursuits for climate crisis action. Objectivity encourages practices that reiterate structures of injustice, disadvantage voices from marginalized communities while simultaneously advantaging stances with minimal scientific backing, and worsens matters of audience disengagement. In pursuit of reducing or eliminating this environmentally burdensome practice, this paper proposes a transition toward transparent objectivity as a possible alternative to objectivity for journalistic standards.

Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Surviving R. Kelly', Grace Righini May 2023

Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Surviving R. Kelly', Grace Righini

Comm-entary

This essay discusses the documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which details allegations of sexual abuse against the musician Robert "R" Kelly. The documentary provides a platform for young black women to speak out against Kelly and explain why he is an abuser. It also sheds light on victims' difficulties in obtaining justice, particularly when a celebrity is involved. The essay analyses the impact of the documentary and how it has empowered women to come forward with their own stories, regarding other women speaking out during the #MeToo movement and paving the way for future documentaries speaking out against other powerful celebrities. …

Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction Using Cobalt Catalysts On Surfaces, Tianqi Jin May 2023

Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction Using Cobalt Catalysts On Surfaces, Tianqi Jin

Master's Theses and Capstones

Ever-increasing fossil-fuel combustion along with massive CO2 emissions has aroused a global energy crisis and climate change. The most straightforward way of tackling this problem is to reduce emissions, but this might not be enough or even possible in all instances, where the use of fossil fuels cannot be simply avoided. A more proactive approach is to capture and convert CO2 into value-added products. Unfortunately, CO2 is thermodynamically stable and its thermocatalytic conversion requires high temperatures and pressures. Alternatively, CO2 reduction could be carried out using light (photocatalysis) or electricity (electrocatalysis) as the energy input.In Chapter I, an introduction to …

Evaluating The Equivalency And Ecological Validity Of Tpitos And Iters-3 Ratings Of Quality In New Hampshire’S Quality Recognition And Improvement System, Eileen Elizabeth Murphy May 2023

Evaluating The Equivalency And Ecological Validity Of Tpitos And Iters-3 Ratings Of Quality In New Hampshire’S Quality Recognition And Improvement System, Eileen Elizabeth Murphy

Master's Theses and Capstones

Quality in early childhood care and education is increasingly being monitored through state-run Quality Rating/Recognition and Improvement Systems (QRISs), however, the design of these systems is under-researched. This study explores the alignment of two observation tools used in a QRIS to assess the quality of infant and toddler care and education – the Teaching Pyramid Infant-Toddler Observation Scale (TPITOS), and the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, 3rd edition (ITERS-3). These two tools are central to the two pathways for center-based care providers in New Hampshire’s QRIS, which are designed to be equivalent but different methods for measuring quality. In this study, …

Sextually Active Youth: A Nationally Representative Study Of Youth Sexting And Peer Influence In The United States, Tori Sciara May 2023

Sextually Active Youth: A Nationally Representative Study Of Youth Sexting And Peer Influence In The United States, Tori Sciara

Master's Theses and Capstones

Purpose: This study aims to better understand adolescent sexting and peer influence in the United States. Sexting is defined as the sending or receiving of sexually explicit or suggestive photos and videos of oneself (Bianchi et al. 2019; Bragard and Fisher 2021; Döring 2014). This study builds upon current adolescent sexting literature by analyzing the impact of gender identity, sexual orientation, pornography consumption frequency, and peer sexting on youth sexting frequency. Methods: Data for this study came from the Technology Facilitated Abuse Survey from the Crimes Against Children Research Center. Respondents were ages 18-28 (N=1982); the sample was slightly older …

Using Variable-Resolution Grids To Model Precipitation From Atmospheric Rivers Around The Greenland Ice Sheet, Annelise Nicole Waling May 2023

Using Variable-Resolution Grids To Model Precipitation From Atmospheric Rivers Around The Greenland Ice Sheet, Annelise Nicole Waling

Master's Theses and Capstones

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are synoptic-scale features that transport moisture poleward and have been shown to cause short duration, high-volume melt events in the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). This project supports the effectiveness of variable-resolution (VR) grids in modeling ARs and their subsequent precipitation around the GrIS using a study period of 1 January 1979 to 31 December 1998. VR simulations from the Community Earth System Model (CESM2) bridge the gap between limitations of global climate models and regional climate models while maximizing computational efficiency. VR grids improve the representation of ARs, in part by resolving small-scale processes. ARs are identified …
