Granite Staters' Short-Term Economic Outlook Improves, But Long-Term Fears Remain 5/24/2021, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

After falling to record lows in February, consumer confidence has rebounded in New Hampshire. More than half of Granite Staters anticipate the state economy will recover to pre-pandemic levels within a year and residents are more likely to foresee good times for the state and national economies in the next twelve months. However, state residents remain pessimistic about the long-term outlook of the economy.

Infant Mortality And Race In The United States, Katherine Legier

Perspectives

Infant mortality is globally recognized as an indicator for overall health in a population. The United States spends the most money per capita on health expenditures, a total of 17.1% of the budget in 2016 (cia.gov). Despite this, the United States’ ranking for infant mortality is 174th (cia.gov). Moreover, rates of infant mortality are not experienced equally across racial groups. The rate of infant mortality for African Americans in the United States is compounded. African American infants are more than 2 times as likely to die before their first birthday than non-Hispanic white infants (West and Bartkowski 2019:1). The purpose …

The Impact Of Hyper-Connection Through Smartphone Usage On Friendship Satisfaction In College Students, Sarah Bell

Perspectives

This literature review explores smartphone use among college students. It examines how this usage creates hyper-connection, which is the state of being available for communication anywhere and at any time. I will examine the effects of hyper-connection on the well-being of college students. Hyper-connection is operationalized through the lens of constant availability, fear of missing out, friendship satisfaction, and face-to-face interactions. Furthermore, I will discuss the cyclical nature of the relationships between these variables. The conclusion outlines the limitations of current research and possibilities for future research in this area.

The Effects Of Stress And Socioeconomic Status On Prescription Opioid Misuse, Kylee Jedraszek

Perspectives

Within the past few decades, there has come to be an abundance of literature on prescription opioid misuse and how stress and socioeconomic status directly correlate with rates of misuse. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the relationship between stress, socioeconomic status, and prescription opioid misuse. For the purposes of this literature review, the phrase “prescription opioid misuse” will refer to opioids prescribed to an individual, whether the individual has their own prescription or whether they obtain them illegally, and uses them somewhat habitually in ways other than for their directed use or in their prescribed dosage …

The “American Dream” In Black And White Populations: A Perceptions Versus Reality Analysis, Emma Watts

Perspectives

Do White and Black Americans equally believe in the American Dream? Does the American Dream offer hope for Black Americans to hold on to, or has racial oppression made the dream feel out of reach? Since such ideas, like the promise of social mobility offered by freedom, motivate and inform economic, social, and political beliefs, understanding how such narratives function is of critical need. In this study, I used the 2012 Outlook on Life Survey (N=2,294) to analyze the differences in attitudes about the American Dream between Black and White populations in the United States. I analyzed data about how …

Variability Of Usa East Coast Surface Total Alkalinity Distributions Revealed By Automated Instrument Measurements, Christopher W. Hunt, Joseph Salisbury, Douglas Vandemark, Steffen Aßmann, Christopher Melrose, Rik Wanninkhof, Kumiko Azetsu-Scott

Faculty Publications

Seawater total alkalinity (TA) is one important determinant used to monitor the ocean carbon cycle, whose spatial distributions have previously been characterized along the United States East Coast via discrete bottle samples. Using these data, several regional models for TA retrievals based on practical salinity (S) have been developed. Broad-scale seasonal or interannual variations, however, are not well resolved in these models and existing data are highly seasonally biased. This study reports findings from the first long duration deployment of a new, commercially available TA titrator aboard a research vessel and the continuous underway surface TA measurements produced. The …

The Importance Of Size Ranges In Aerosol Instrument Intercomparisons: A Case Study For The Atmospheric Tomography Mission, Hongyu Guo, Pedro Campuzano-Jost, Benjamin A. Nault, Douglas A. Day, Jason C. Schroder, Dongwook Kim, Jack E. Dibb, Maximilian Dollner, Bernadett Weinzierl, Jose L. Jimenez

Faculty Publications

Aerosol intercomparisons are inherently complex as they convolve instrument-dependent detection efficiencies vs. size (which often change with pressure, temperature, or humidity) and variations in the sampled aerosol population, in addition to differences in chemical detection principles (e.g., inorganic-only nitrate vs. inorganic plus organic nitrate for two instruments). The NASA Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom) spanned four separate aircraft deployments which sampled the remote marine troposphere from 86∘ S to 82∘ N over different seasons with a wide range of aerosol concentrations and compositions. Aerosols were quantified with a set of carefully characterized and calibrated instruments, some based on particle sizing and …

Granite Staters Increasingly Comfortable In Public; Majority Support Vaccine Mandate In Colleges & High Schools 5/19/2021, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Majorities of New Hampshire residents support requiring students at public universities, colleges, and high schools in the state to be vaccinated in order to attend school in-person. State residents are increasingly comfortable participating in activities in public, with large increases since March in the number comfortable eating indoors at restaurants. Despite this, Granite Staters report only slightly lower stress stemming from COVID-19 than in December and mask usage has declined only slightly since December when the mask mandate was still in place.

Scaling Equitable Solar Finance, Eric Hangen, Rebecca Regan, Sarah Boege

Carsey Publications

The U.S. solar photovoltaics industry has taken off over the past decade, but without deliberate action low- and moderate-income communities could be left behind in the transition to clean energy.

Drawing on substantial literature related to multiple dimensions of low-income solar finance and interviews with key informants in the field, authors Eric Hangen, Rebecca Regan, and Sarah Boege recommend public investments and policy changes that could help scale the provision of equitable solar finance.
