The overall topic for your research paper is the Cardiovascular System. Within the paper you 

need to have ½ page introduction to the paper, a page on each one of the three topics listed 

below, and a ½ page conclusion. The fifth page will be the reference page. You must include 6 

journal articles (not websites!!) and 1 book reference . 

Cardiovascular System:

a)   The parts of the system: The major organs and blood vessels, the three different circuits 

in the body and the path of blood flow. 

b)   Role in maintaining homeostasis: How does it maintain pH balance, oxygen carbon 

dioxide exchange, nutrients, waste removal, temperature regulation, hormones, etc. 

c)   Heart disease or heart defect: Pick any disease or defect and research it describing causes, 

symptoms, treatments, how it affects daily living or can it have other effects in the body 

other than just the heart (i.e. blood clots, strokes, organ damage, etc.). Some examples are 

arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), congenital (birth) defects, coronary artery disease. 

Many of the cause other things to happen leading to more long term complications. 

 
 
 

Topic: And the Winner Is…

From the start of this course, we have emphasized the importance of research in shaping our understanding of human behavior and mental process. Several major studies and social psychology concepts were discussed throughout this chapter. If a local church asked you to present 3 research studies or concepts from this chapter as part of a “Psychology and Christian Life Seminar,” which 3 would you pick and why? Come up with your top 3 and discuss why you selected them. Also, highlight how each one might be of value to Christians and/or the church. For your discussion thread, discuss the following:

  • Identify your top 3 studies/concepts, using citations from the textbook as you describe.
  • Discuss why you think they are most important to living.
  • Discuss how each study is consistent/inconsistent with a biblical worldview, as well as how it might be of value to Christians in the real world.

Replies: After reading 2 of your classmates’ threads, reply to each, discussing which 1 of their top 3 you think is most important. Be sure that you extend the discussion beyond their initial points and elaborate on the importance of that concept/study in Christian living.

Submit your thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of Module/Week 7, and submit your replies by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the same module/week.

Demographically and politically, the Anglo/”white” population is the dominant racial/ethnic group in the United States. How is Miami different from the rest of the country in this regard? Do people here tend to have different sorts of experiences regarding how they are treated due to their race or ethnicity in ways that might not be the case in other parts of the US? Which groups, if any, do you think are dominant here in terms of culture, power and economics in Miami? Do you think that Miami is “post-racial” in the sense that there are so many races and ethnicities mixing together here that race and ethnicity matter much less than in other parts of the US?

Research a product or service from a company with which you are familiar, as well as the methods used to market that product or service. Many well-known companies have marketing plan information available online that you can reference by searching for “[Company Name] Marketing Plan”.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you include the following:

  • Analyze the purpose, value, and components of an effective integrated marketing communications (IMC) plan.
  • Briefly introduce the company that you researched and its product(s) or service(s).
  • Describe the specific marketing communications tools that are currently included in the IMC.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of those tools in meeting the objectives of the IMC and in reaching the targeted market segment(s).
  • Provide a brief industry analysis that includes emerging trends.
  • Propose additional marketing communication tools (or changes to existing tools) that the company should consider, and explain the potential opportunities for improving overall brand management that can be gained by implementing these tools.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.

 
 
 

You have been assigned 4 patients on an Intermediate Medical Care Unit. Two of the patients are post myocardial infarctions at various stages of their infarctions with multiple types of arrhythmias, the third patient is having drastic blood sugar fluctuations 218 down to 50 within minutes and its rebounds back up with changes in mentation and the fourth is reported to be having frequent TIA’s. One of the MI patients is having some dizziness and your TIA patient is presenting signs of impending stroke.

How would you prioritize your assessments and activities? How would you describe your critical thinking process and how do you organize and prioritize implementation of care?

I do agree with scientists that people do see the differences between  virtual friending and real befriending. Vernon noted that when people  make connections with others online it is not the same as making a  personal connection face to face (p. 107). I believe this to be true as a  stranger you meet through a screen will not give you the complete idea  of who they are as if you were to meet them in person. I use Facebook to  stay connected to friends and family, but also use it to network with  people of shared interests due to the many groups Facebook has to offer.  I often get friend requests from people I have mutual friends with and  some are people from high school, others are from work. I probably will  not accept their request due to not knowing these people personally and  also no real benefit from adding them. The distinction between friending  and befriending is important because it allows others to understand  that personal connections and online connections have their own separate  benefits. Virtual befriending gives us access to a world we would on a  regular basis never have access too if the internet and technology was  never invented.

After reviewing the Stanford piece, how do online friendships stand up, ethically speaking?

Online friendships can be just as important as face to face  friendships. Often as we get older we tend to disconnect ourselves from  people we once hung around on a day to day basis. Going from adolescence  to adulthood we start to see the dwindling of friendships. Facebook  among many other social networks allow us to stay in contact with people  we once had a close relationship with from adolescence. We use these  platforms to have casual conversations or even send a quick  congratulatory message on a marriage proposal. From the Stanford reading  in the Mutual Caring section, the author states that regardless of  closeness friends still show a form of caring and sympathy towards one  another and although as friends one may not see them on a day to day  basis it is still that connection being able to witness another’s  happiness which is allowed by online interactions. One example, a former  teammate from high school just proposed to his girlfriend, and he  posted a status and photo of his engagement, we may not talk like we  once did when we were kids but it still made me happy to see him doing  well. I sent him a congratulation message in a response to his status  and thus we formed a small conversation as if time hasn’t gotten in  between us. Online connections keeps us involved with our friends and  family as we carry on with our own lives.

Has there ever been a time where you needed to find scientific information about a situation in your life? Was someone ill? Did you want to start a new diet? Have you ever worried about getting in shape? Did you ever wonder if you water is ok to drink from the tap? 

 

First Post: Describe a time or situation where you or someone you know needed real scientific information. How did they approach getting it? Did you rely on social media? Were you able to find news articles? Did you look for journal articles (did you know what they were?) or did you ask a Dr, nutritionist, nurse or pharmacist? How do you go about finding scientific information in your daily life?  Explain in 300 words.
