Hi all! There are five key dopamine pathways, including the thalamic, tuberoinfundibular, nigrostriatal, mesolimbic, and mesocortical dopamine pathways (Stahl, 2021, p. 84). To begin, the thalamic dopamine pathway extends to the thalamus and emerges from various locations, including the ventral mesencephalon, periaqueductal gray, lateral parabrachial nucleus, and hypothalamic nuclei (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). The overall function of the thalamic dopamine pathway is not fully understood. That said, it is thought it be involved in arousal and sleep processes by controlling information that passes through the thalamus to other brain areas, such as the cortex (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). There is not much of an implication for antipsychotic use in this pathway given that no evidence currently exists showing atypical processing of this pathway in schizophrenia (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). Second, the tuberoinfundibular pathway includes dopamine neurons that extend from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). The main purpose of this pathway is to regulate prolactin secretion into circulation, with dopamine acting as a prolactin secretion inhibitor (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). Dopamine antagonists result in increased prolactin levels and could cause symptoms such as amenorrhea and galactorrhea (Stahl, 2021, p. 165). Thirdly, the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway extends from dopamine cell bodies located in the brainstem substantia nigra by ways of axons which end in the striatum (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). This pathway is part of the extrapyramidal nervous system and plays a role in the regulation of motor movements (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). A decrease in dopamine can cause parkinsonism, with symptoms including rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, and akinesia (Stahl, 2021, p. 87). An excess of dopamine can result in hyperkinetic motor movements, including dyskinesias and tics (Stahl, 2021, p. 87). This said, medication administration can be tricky when it comes to the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway. Acutely, dopamine antagonists can result is motor symptoms associated with drug-induced parkinsonism (Stahl, 2021, p. 165). On the other hand, blocking dopamine receptors chronically can result in tardive dyskinesia (Stahl, 2021, p. 166). Next, the mesolimbic dopamine pathway extends from the ventral tegmental area located within the brainstem to the nucleus accumbens (Stahl, 2021, p. 90). This system is involved in a variety of behaviors including euphoria associated with drug abuse, sensations of pleasure, and hallucinations and delusions of psychosis (Stahl, 2021, pp. 84-85). A hyperactive state of this pathway is connected with positive symptoms of psychosis and drug-induced highs (Stahl, 2021, p. 90). On the other hand, a hypoactive state of this pathway is connected with manifestations including apathy, anhedonia, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, and lack of energy (Stahl, 2021, p. 90). Decreasing dopamine within the mesolimbic system through the use of antipsychotic medications results in a reduction of positive symptoms of schizophrenia (Stahl, 2021, p. 90-92). It is interesting to note that typical and atypical antipsychotics have the ability to decrease dopamine, however, atypical antipsychotics may have a higher ability to do so (Grinchii & Dremencov, 2020). Lastly, the mesocortical dopamine pathway extends from the midbrain ventral tegmental area to the prefrontal cortex (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). This pathway plays a role in mediating affective and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia (Stahl, 2021, p. 85). In addition, many professionals believe that negative symptoms of schizophrenia are related to deficiency of dopamine in the mesocortical pathway (Stahl, 2021, p. 93). That said, antipsychotics that can increase dopamine levels, such as various atypical antipsychotics, would result in a reduction of negative symptoms of schizophrenia (Grinchii & Dremencov, 2020).

Introduction: The Pre-Research Index invites you to begin an exploration of who you are and what experiences have contributed to your sense of identity in the context of ENG 2800’s expectations for you during the semester. You are asked to consider aspects of your identity and/or experiences that may spark a productive investigation and engaging writing. The goal of this assignment is to transform the research project that is at the heart of this course from being seen as an artifact outside of your experience or identity to originating and being fundamentally intertwined with you, as the researcher, and your internal motivations, interests, and identities. It will include polished brainstorming (generating ideas) and reflection (meaningful connections between self and avenues for future research). In her PRI, one student wrote about a memorable visit to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. In the PRI, she identified different ways her interest in Jefferson could inform her research (Jefferson as inventor, public servant, farmer, etc.). As she began conducting research for the Annotated Bibliography, she noticed that Jefferson’s influence on contemporary American politics was a matter of discussion. For her Researched Argument, she dovetailed that with her personal interest in the Black Lives Matter movement to establish how Jefferson’s views towards race relations and his drafting of the Declaration of Independence signal what he might have thought about the BLM movement. Her New Media Composition focused more intently on the BLM element of her project, since it was more timely and relevant to current events, at the time.
Requirements:
It should be written from a personal point of view—remember that the point of this assignment is to explore how your experiences and perspectives will potentially shape your research agenda in this class.
It should include narrative, which means descriptive story. Roughly, at least half, should be narratively driven.
It should consider how single or multiple experiences and/or aspects of your identities, might relate directly to topics to investigate and write about in ENG 2800. If you include more than a single focus, make sure the essay is unified and the strands are connected. Roughly half, or a little less than half, should reflect on the connections between your narrative(s) and future research project of ENG 2800.
The Pre-Research Index should be at least 4 pages long, although it may be longer, depending on how you structure your work, and how much spacing you use.
Form: The final form of a Pre-Research Index may look different for different students. Some have written a letter, an essay, a detailed outline with more in depth writing around it. Whatever form your work takes, it must include a reflection on how the experience(s) you include could inform potential research for the class.
Case Study: The Monitoring of Social Media by Employers
/0 Comments/in Computer Science /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Monitoring and electronic surveillance
of employees in the workplace has a long and complex history. Workers
have always felt uneasy about such intrusions but have had little legal
recourse. Disputes quickly arose when companies began to systematically
monitor email accounts of their workers. Workers objected, but several
key court decisions such as Smyth v. Pillsbury have strongly affirmed a
corporation’s legal right to monitor virtually all of the digital
activities of their employees.
The
debate about employee monitoring has now shifted to social media.
Social media has generally been more popular for personal matters rather
than work-related ones, but it has a growing presence in the workplace.
LinkedIn is a social network for professionals and is a popular
workplace tool that provides an online contact book, curriculum vitae,
and publishing platform for anyone in the labor market. Facebook
is trying to establish a presence in corporations, but some companies
ban Facebook because of its detrimental impact on worker productivity.
However,
monitoring a person’s personal Facebook page has become routine for
some businesses. There is a wealth of information on these pages that
makes a worker’s life and activities highly transparent. Moreover,
consultants predict that online monitoring of social media by employers
will rise over the next decade. Their research also shows that younger
people are more open to sharing their personal data with their
employers, with 36% of younger workers saying they would be happy to do
so.
Social
media offers a tantalizing opportunity for employers to gain some
insight into the personal lives and preferences of their employees. It
is also a way to detect potential problems and weed out unattractive job
applicants. It is fairly common for employers and head hunters to check
out a candidate’s background and qualifications on social media. They
are interested in seeing what a person’s Facebook page reveals about his
or her skills, personality, political leanings, recreational
activities, and so forth. Job candidates who have been indiscreet, who
have posted inappropriate photos, or sent provocative tweets may find
that good job opportunities are passing them by.
Some
human resources (HR) specialists and consultants also contend that this
monitoring of social media should continue even after a worker has been
hired. Advocates of such monitoring point to many examples of employees
posting inappropriate material, such as private or confidential
information. Some hospital employees, for example, have been discovered
discussing the sensitive details of a patient’s medical history on their
Facebook pages in direct violation of HIPAA. Others cite examples of
how employees use Twitter or Facebook to put the company they work for
in a bad light by making harmful and pejorative statements, often full
of hyperbole. According to Nancy Flynn, “Strict monitoring allows
employers to spot potential problems early [and] get the information
offline as quickly as possible.”
These
consultants, therefore, argue that companies should monitor the social
media sites of both their prospective and current employees. There are
many benefits of such monitoring both for employers and for employees,
such as a tradeoff of privacy for the guarantee of greater job security.
Other HR professionals disagree with this policy, even if the trend
among younger workers is to be more obliging. Cary Cooper, distinguished
professor of organizational psychology and health at Lancaster
University, regards this monitoring as “a plain case of trying to find
out what employees are doing and thinking—clearly an intrusion into
their private life. I see no HR justification for it whatsoever.
Questions:
What
is your opinion on employers monitoring your social media behavior? is
this ethical? Why? Why not? What are your thoughts about privacy and
legal implications when employers monitoring your live outside work?
Does the US goverment needs be more active in addressing this issue as
employers move to have more control over the employee lifes for security
purposes? Why? Why not?

Scenario 1: Joe
The alarm clock goes off and Joe wakes up. He is lying in bed wondering what to do today. Suddenly he hears a scream coming from outside his apartment. He bolts out of bed, throws on his robe, and runs outside to see what is going on. He is outside in a few seconds (activity #1). His adrenaline is pumping as he looks around to see who is screaming. He stands motionless and carefully listens to attempt to determine the origin of the scream. He sees his neighbor in the parking lot who says he also heard the scream. Joe’s neighbor says he thinks the scream came from the apartment building on the other side of the parking lot. They both jog across the parking lot and reach the building on the far end in about 2 minutes (activity #2). They stand still and listen for a few minutes and hear the scream again. They knock on the apartment door. No answer. They knock harder until an elderly lady comes to the door. In the background, the TV is blaring a horror movie. Relieved, they slowly walk back to their apartments (activity #3).
Scenario 2: Jane
Jane decides to go to the gym. She enters the gym and sees her friend Joan riding an exercise bike. She thinks this is a good place to start so she gets on the bike next to Joan and starts to pedal vigorously. After about 2 minutes she gets tired and stops to rest (activity #1). She then sees her friend Jon lifting weights. She walks over to the weight area and picks up a 25lb barbell—too heavy so she quickly puts it down (activity #2). She is feeling very tired today and tries the treadmill. She gets on a treadmill and finds her second wind and walks at a brisk rate for 30 minutes (activity #3).

The potential most common sites for Metastasis
The potential most common sites for metastasis on patient J.C with pancreatic cancer include the liver, peritoneum, lungs, and distant lymph nodes. Pancreatic cancer often metastasizes to the liver due to the close anatomical proximity and the hepatic portal circulation, which facilitates tumor cell dissemination (Garajova et al., 2023).
Peritoneal metastasis occurs when cancer cells move from the primary tumor and spread within the peritoneal cavity, leading to ascites and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Lung metastasis can occur through hematogenous spread, where cancer cells travel via the bloodstream to the lungs, forming secondary tumors.
Lastly, distant lymph nodes, such as those in the mediastinum or supraclavicular region, can be involved due to lymphatic drainage pathways from the pancreas. Metastasis to these sites can significantly worsen the prognosis and complicate treatment approaches (Garajova et al., 2023).
Tumor Cell Markers
Tumor cell markers, such as CA 19-9 and CEA, are ordered for patients with pancreatic cancer to diagnosis, assess treatment response, and monitor disease progression (Loveday et al., 2019). CA 19-9, in particular, is commonly elevated in pancreatic cancer and serves as a prognostic indicator. Elevated levels of tumor markers can indicate the presence of cancer, help in staging, and guide treatment decisions.
Additionally, serial measurements of tumor markers can provide information about treatment efficacy and disease recurrence, allowing clinicians to adjust therapeutic interventions consequently.
TNM Stage Classification
The TNM staging system categorizes tumors based on their size and extent of spread (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and presence of distant metastasis (M). This classification is crucial as it helps determine prognosis, guide treatment decisions, and standardize communication among healthcare providers. By accurately staging the tumor, clinicians can adapt treatment strategies, estimate patient outcomes, and facilitate comparison of results across different studies and patient populations (Loveday et al., 2019).
In J.C’s case, the TNM stage classification would provide valuable information about the extent of his pancreatic cancer, guiding the selection of appropriate therapeutic interventions and predicting his prognosis.
Characteristics of Malignant Tumors
Malignant tumors exhibit several characteristic features, including uncontrolled proliferation, invasion into surrounding tissues, and metastatic potential. These tumors often demonstrate abnormal cellular morphology, with variable nuclear size, pleomorphic, and increased mitotic activity. Moreover, malignant cells can evade apoptosis, sustain angiogenesis, and acquire the ability to invade lymphatic and blood vessels, facilitating distant metastasis. Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors lack encapsulation and demonstrate infiltrative growth patterns, leading to tissue destruction and functional impairment (Patel, 2020).
Carcinogenesis Phase of Metastasis
The process of metastasis involves multiple steps, including local invasion, circulation through blood or lymphatic vessels, extravasation, and colonization at distant sites. During carcinogenesis, as a tumor metastasizes, cancer cells acquire genetic mutations that confer invasive and migratory properties. These alterations disrupt cellular adhesion molecules, promote cytoskeletal rearrangements, and enhance protease activity, facilitating tumor cell dissemination. Additionally, changes in the tumor microenvironment, such as inflammation and angiogenesis, contribute to the metastatic cascade by promoting tumor cell survival and migration to distant organs (Patel, 2020).
Tissue Level Affected
In the case of J.C with pancreatic cancer, the tissue level primarily affected is the epithelial tissue. Pancreatic cancer originates from the ductal epithelium of the pancreas, leading to the formation of ductal adenocarcinoma. Epithelial tissue comprises the majority of the pancreas and lines the pancreatic ducts, where the tumor arises. As the cancer progresses, it infiltrates surrounding epithelial structures and may involve adjacent organs, further demonstrating the epithelial origin of the malignancy (Garajova et al., 2023).

You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.
To select the diagnosis for the patient in this scenario, review the three diagnoses presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Locating Credible Databases and Research [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Locating Credible Databases and Research [PDF]resource and select one. You will use this same diagnosis to complete the next two assessments.
Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality.To help ensure you are prepared to complete this assessment, review the following resources related to the Capella library. These resources will provide you an overview of the types of tools, resources, and guides available in the library. This may be useful in forming a better understanding of the library to apply to the hypothetical situation laid out in the scenario of this assessment.

Remember, it is also appropriate to look toward databases and resources outside of the Capella library, such as organizational policies, professional organizations, and government health care resources.
