Describe a situation, like a car crash, that increases or decreases  the activity of your organ, and explain the effect that situation would  have on your organ.

Introduction: The ANS is the part of the nervous system that  supplies the internal organs and structures, including the blood  vessels, stomach, intestine, liver, kidneys, bladder, genitals, lungs,  pupils, heart, and sweat, salivary, and digestive glands. Two divisions  of ANS (the sympathetic and parasympathetic) have opposite functions. As  we learned, the sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for  intense physical activity and is often referred to as the  fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost  the exact opposite effect, relaxes the body, and is often referred to as  the rest-and-digest response.

For this post, you have to write at least 400 words addressing the  following 5 points. Please identify each point in your answer.

1. Choose an organ in the body that has autonomic innervation. (LUNGS)
2. Next, describe how the organ you have chosen is affected by one of  the two divisions of the ANS. Is it stimulated? Inhibited? Which part of  the organ is affected? Do not do both divisions of the ANS.
3. Identify the location and neurotransmitters of the preganglionic and  postganglionic neurons that innervate the organ you chose from the  division (sympathetic or parasympathetic) you chose.
4. Would your organ be controlled through a gray ramus communicans, splanchnic nerve, cranial nerve, or sacral spinal nerve?
5. Describe a situation, like a car crash, that increases or decreases  the activity of your organ, and explain the effect that situation would  have on your organ. Compare that effect to normal basal levels of your  organ’s activity. Explain how the change(s) in the activity of the organ  of your choice might be perceived, if at all. Other situations could  include a job interview, relaxing on a beach, encountering a growling  dog while walking outside, jumping out of the way of an oncoming  vehicle, getting a massage, feeling unsafe while walking down a dark  street at night.

This is a first come first serve choice, so please review the  previous postings to choose your organ. If one student chooses an organ  like the eye, then only the regulation by either the sympathetic or  parasympathetic nervous system should be discussed. One organ per  student. Duplications are not allowed, and such postings will be deleted  by the instructor. If you cite a specific source, please include the  reference (APA format).

Devise a strategy for transforming the non-evidence-based treatment into an evidence-based treatment by integrating a specific psychological theory with new or existing research.

 Prior to beginning work on this journal, please read Chapter 13 in History and Philosophy of Psychology. This journal invites you to engage in creative thinking regarding the future potential for non-evidence-based treatments. Research one of the non-evidence-based treatments from the Chung (2012) e-book, summarize views of this treatment within its historical context, and relate these views to at least one modern theoretical perspective on psychopathology. Devise a strategy for transforming the non-evidence-based treatment into an evidence-based treatment by integrating a specific psychological theory with new or existing research.

There are no explicitly wrong or right answers for this journal entry. Your journal will be graded based on whether or not you provide a substantive and thoughtful supported by existing literature.

How should you present data to make it most usable? 

As future nursing practitioners, it is important for you to understand that the results of evidence-based research practice should be written for others to understand and apply to their practice. Research needs to be disseminated as widely as possible at all levels, both national and international. It is important that tailored dissemination tools should be used for various target audiences and the nursing profession. This assignment is designed to help you understand how to make your research usable and available to other people in your field. 

Develop a dissemination plan for your research. Your plan should include discussion about the following: 

• Audience 
• Who is most likely to use this research? 
• What is the practice setting? 
• End-user needs 
• How should you present data to make it most usable? 
• Is there a specific language you should use to ensure your audience understands your purpose? 
• Does the target audience have a specific type of need based on practice setting? 
• Publications 
• What specific journals, newsletters, or publications would you want to publish in to reach your audience? 
• Presentations at local, state, and national levels 
• At what conferences, meetings, or panels would you want to present to make sure your ideas were readily available in the field? 

Format your dissemination plan as one of the following: 

• 18- to 20-slide presentation 
• 15- to 20-minute oral presentation 
• 875-words

In your own words, what is the “Black Lives Matter” Movement and what is its primary mission?

This week, we continue our look at some important contemporary social problems in order to get us in the habit of thinking from an interdisciplinary social science perspective.

Trayvon Martin. Ferguson. Freddie Gray. “I can’t breathe.” These names and phrases have taken on special significance in recent years as iconic touchpoints highlighting systemic racial injustice in the United States. These touchpoints have given rise to a modern wave of Black activism that is reminiscent of the Civil Rights movement of the mid 1900’s. Leading the way is the “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) movement which emerged in response to the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and continues to have a voice in matters of inequality that impact Black Americans. 

The “Black Lives Matter” movement has sparked a fervid national conversation on the state of race relations that is multilayered and complex. At its core, the movement raises concerns about the treatment of Black Americans across many social institutions (e.g. law enforcement, criminal justice, employment, education, etc.), but other debates have emerged from the movement. Should the concerns of Black Americans be considered separately or as part of a larger conversation that includes all races? Why is the phrase “All Lives Matter” antithetical to the goals of the BLM movement? How does the BLM movement address black-on-black violence? How do minorities reconcile oppression with patriotism?

As social scientists, you may be called upon to provide an opinion on difficult social topics like race and racism. By now you know that an informed opinion should be measured, based on evidence, and take into account multiple perspectives. For this topic, it’s important to understand the historical underpinnings of Black activism that have led to the “Black Lives Matter” movement of today.

Explore this week’s Learning Resources as well as the following pages from the BlackLivesMatter.com site:

• http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/

• http://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/

• https://blacklivesmatter.com/blm-demands/

After reviewing these resources (and others that you may find), respond to the following questions: 

1) Identify some pivotal moments or issues from before the year 2000 that have shaped the civil rights movement and set the stage for the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

2) In your own words, what is the “Black Lives Matter” Movement and what is its primary mission?

3) How have people from diverse backgrounds reacted to the “Black Lives Matter” Movement? Provide some examples from the news or the Web to support your response. Remember to cite your sources.

4) How might social scientists from different disciplines talk about these issues? For example, what questions would a psychologist ask compared to an anthropologist? What issues would be the focus of a sociologist? How might a gerontologist frame this problem (think about what older people may have witnessed or experienced regarding race relations)? What other social scientists might be interested in this issue?

5) What are some potential controversies inherent in this issue? Think about why this social problem might be difficult to solve. Are there gaps in our knowledge? Lack of resources? Opposing political views? Think broadly and from an interdisciplinary perspective in order to respond to this question. 

6) Where does the solution lie? Are there policies that need to be changed or enacted to resolve the issue? Are there programs or services that might help? What agencies or industries are best equipped to help?

When writing your posts, it is very important that you focus not just on summary but also on analysis. These posts are how I determine your mastery of the material and your critical thinking.
