Harmonizing excellence: Crafting the nexus of competencies, standards, and degree demands in nurse practitioner education
No full textNurse practitioner (NP) programs have a long history of producing safe and competent NPs; however, bold, transformative leadership is needed to set a minimum standard for quality NP education to support a 21st-century healthcare system. This paper is a call to action for leaders in NP education to transition NP education to the DNP degree utilizing the 2022 National Task Force Standards for Quality NP Education and a competency-based approach as defined in the 2021 AACN Essentials. There is now an opportunity to redesign healthcare systems with quality and equity as a primary consideration and DNP-prepared NPs are positioned to lead this redesign. The 2022 NTF Standards include several critical changes in clinical hours, oversight of clinical sites, and preparation of NP students to enter clinical sites. By emphasizing competency attainment within NP programs, the 2021 AACN Essentials ensure that NP graduates are practice-ready
Section V, ANTH 797: Race and Racism in Biological Anthropology
No full textSection V showcases Maria Hagan’s research project for ANTH 797: Race and Racism in Biological Anthropology, a Spring 2025 course with Dr. Amy Michael. Her project, How the Commerce of Human Remains Dehumanizes the Dead, which culminated in an Undergraduate Research Conference presentation, addresses ethical and legal questions surrounding the buying and selling of human remains on social media sites and across state and international borders. Hagan’s work points to possible changes to both social media policy and state and federal law that could have a positive impact on curtailing the practice

Crusading Against Vice: American Anti-Profanity Leagues and Their Legacy
No full textThis presentation examines the rise of American Anti-Profanity Leagues during the Progressive Era, with particular focus on the efforts of Roland Sawyer and Arthur Colborne. These leagues sought to eliminate profanity from public and private life, using printed materials, pledge campaigns, public speeches, and media outreach to promote “clean speech” as a moral imperative. Drawing on archival research, including the Roland D. Sawyer Papers housed at the UNH Library, as well as digital newspaper databases, this project investigates how profanity was framed as a threat to civic virtue, and how anti-profanity activism mirrored the goals and methods of other Progressive-Era moral reform movements. The project invites a broader reflection on language, social control, and the enduring tensions between freedom of expression and public morality
Associations between fiber intake and gut microbiota composition in New Hampshire Hispanic/Latino adults at risk for food insecurity
No full textRecent advances in genetic sequencing have enabled investigations into the composition and functional capacity of the complex ecosystem of resident microorganisms of the human gastrointestinal tract (the gut microbiome). Studies have additionally found associations between dietary pattern (particularly fiber intake), gut microbiome composition, and health status of the host, including weight status and risk of chronic disease, but certain demographic groups are underrepresented in this literature. Hispanics/Latinos are the largest minority population in the United States and in New Hampshire, and are disproportionately affected by chronic metabolic disease, low fiber intake, and food insecurity, but gut microbiome characteristics of this population remain understudied. This investigation characterized associations between dietary fiber intake and gut microbiome composition in a population of 60 Hispanic/Latino adults eligible for federal food assistance residing in New Hampshire. Daily fiber intake was assessed using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Dietary Screener Questionnaire. Microbiome composition data were derived from 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of participant fecal samples. Partial correlations and analysis of covariance were used to evaluate and characterize associations between fiber intake and within-subject alpha microbial diversity. Covariate adjustments were made to control for confounding variables such as age. This study provides novel data on the relationship between fiber intake and gut microbiome diversity in this fast-growing yet understudied population. These findings will inform the development of targeted interventions to improve the health of this population through beneficial changes to the microbiome mediated by dietary changes and greater access to fiber-rich foods
