VIS101 Introduction to Urban Ecologies A New Urban-Ecological Imagination.

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

1B. Visualizing urban-ecological geographic conflict as creative tool

1B.a. Visualizing existing patterns

Once you commit to the particular urban-territorial zone, now you have to ‘pull it apart.’ Please analyze it visually, in depth, and expand, elaborate on the main critical issues you notice. It is important that you interpret -critically- what you see, asking deeper questions about the patterns, textures, contrasts and critical relationships among elements, that you notice. This also means a process of masking, editing, framing to identify each pattern on its own.

Select at least 5 patterns (each of these are presented in separate sheets), i.e., water ways, vegetation, transportation (freeways-roads, etc.), canyons (dramatic topographic features), buildings at different scales, parking lots. By isolating each of these layers you will see the drama of their shape, as individual operative diagrams (more on this during class)

Based on your critical observations, please add to these 5 patterns a series of personal graphic annotations -using digital or manual, Illustrator or any other graphic program, manual collages or hand sketches. These “graphic notes” should reinforce some of the observations you have made. These annotations include adding graphic systems, such as arrows, dashed lines, solid lines, circles and other geometries or symbols, to indicate the main critical ‘conditions’ you are prioritizing, etc

Once you have a visual and conceptual approximation of these existing patterns (this involves not only understanding what they look like, but it is about speculating about what these patterns ‘do’ to the territory, how they ‘perform,’), now it is time to begin combining them to open critical design research topics found in this area of study, and the conditions that have produced the urbanecological conflict.

1B.b. Visualizing existing patterns

Then combine some of these patterns or layers to dramatize the conflicts, between them, but also to suggest design possibilities. Develop 2 combinations, denoting 2 critical collisions – each combination is a graphic system conveying a particular idea about existing urban-ecological conflicts, within the area you selected.

QUESTION

Mrs. P. is an 80-year-old woman recently discharged from a 24-hour observation stay at the hospital after being diagnosed with acute bronchitis. She has a history of heart failure, hypertension, osteoarthritis, GERD, and hyperlipidemia. She has no history of smoking. While in the hospital she was prescribed doxycycline, prednisone 15 mg to taper, and a tiotropium inhaler. Her current list of daily medications prior to hospitalization includes metoprolol succinate 12.5 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, lisinopril 10 mg, furosemide 40 mg, potassium chloride 20 meq bid, acetaminophen 650 mg bid for pain and tramadol 25 mg as needed. She lives alone but will reside temporarily with her daughter while she recovers. Her discharge report indicated resolving bronchitis, no exacerbation of heart failure, and stable arthritic pain. Today she reports 1 week after discharge with her daughter for a primary care appointment, and they both were concerned about the number of medications she was prescribed and wanted her medications reviewed. In further review, she was found to have lost weight over the past 6 months of 5 lbs and her current BMI is 25. She states that the weight loss may be due to a change to a healthier diet and reducing sodium as instructed. She also reports no symptoms of GERD for the past 6 months and minimal arthritic pain because of regular use of acetaminophen and daily walking in the halls of her independent living facility. Upon examination her lungs are clear to auscultation and no evidence of lower extremity edema.

Discuss the following:

1) In reviewing her medication list and current symptoms and clinical signs, which
medication could the nurse practitioner consider de-prescribing.

2) Once the patient has completed the prednisone taper, which medication could the nurse
practitioner begin to reduce given the patient’s reported symptoms.

3) Given the absence of an exacerbation of heart failure and compliance with a reduced
sodium diet, what other medication(s) adjustments could the nurse practitioner consider at
this time.

Media power and privilege discussion

QUESTION – QUESTION

Video: https://youtu.be/GTvU7uUgjUI?feature=shared

review video and materials below, and follow the discussion assignment instructions below.

Then reflect here on any or all of the following questions:

What surprised you most about the Power Privilege Checklist and why?

How have the various forms of power/privilege and/or the lack thereof, impacted you personally in life?

The phrase “white privilege,” can sometimes be heard/processed as a personal attack – even when that is not the intention of the speaker. It is common to hear relatively-non-racist people say something along the lines of, “What do you mean ‘white privilege?’ Nobody gave me anything. I worked hard for everything I’ve ever gotten in life.” The defensive reaction is so common, that scholars have coined the term, ‘white fragility’ to describe it.

Full disclosure: I personally identify as Caucasian, and this was my first gut-reaction upon hearing the phrase for the first time as well. I get it now, but didn’t then. The first time I heard it, it sounded to my subconscious mind like, “Everything you have was given to you because you are white. You have done something terrible to all people who are not white and are enjoying the advantages of that terrible thing you did.”

So my question is – Does the phrase, “white privilege” get the job done? Is it the best and most effective way to communicate the concept? It certainly seems accurate once one has taken some time to get past that initial, defensive gut reaction – but doesn’t it cause far more people to put up a defensive wall and “fight back” as opposed to listen further? Can you think of a better way to communicate the concept of systemic advantages? Perhaps one that might not be so instantly processed as a direct and personal attack? Or is that, “slap in the face,” a necessary and valuable part of waking people up to the ways that other people experience the world?

QUESTION

Mr. W.G. is a 53-year-old white man who began to experience chest discomfort while playing tennis with a friend. At first, he attributed his discomfort to the heat and having had a large breakfast. Gradually, however, discomfort intensified to a crushing sensation in the sternal area and the pain seemed to spread upward into his neck and lower jaw. The nature of the pain did not seem to change with deep breathing. When Mr. G. complained of feeling nauseated and began rubbing his chest, his tennis partner was concerned that his friend was having a heart attack and called 911 on his cell phone. The patient was transported to the ED of the nearest hospital and arrived within 30 minutes of the onset of chest pain. In route to the hospital, the patient was placed on nasal cannula and an IV D5W was started. Mr. G. received aspirin (325 mg po) and 2 mg/IV morphine. He is allergic to meperidine (rash). His pain has eased slightly in the last 15 minutes but is still significant; was 9/10 in severity; now7/10. In the ED, chest pain was not relieved by 3 SL NTG tablets. He denies chills.

QUESTION

Case Study, Chapter 11, Overview of Selected Middle-Range Nursing Theories 

Elaine Chang is an infection control nurse  at a community hospital. She has been in her position for over 6 years,  since finishing her master’s degree in community health nursing. 

She has noted that the annual influenza  immunization rate for employees has been decreasing each year after  reaching a high in 2009 of 78%. The rate in 2016 to 2017 dipped under  55% for all employees. In addition, this past year, there was a large  outbreak of influenza with multiple staff and patients affected. 

Ms. Chang has decided she needs to review  the situation using Pender’s Health Promotion Model and develop a plan  to educate staff and increase immunization rates.  

If Ms. Chang wanted to assess the reasons for the decline in immunization rates, what types of things should she ask about?  

Ms. Chang developed a survey that was  distributed by each unit manager. After analyzing her results, she  identified three major reasons that many of the staff declined the flu  vaccine:     

  1. A large number (over 40%) believed that the  vaccine might give them the flu. They believed this because either they  or a family member had become sick with some sort of illness around the  time they took a flu shot.  
  2. About 25% of those surveyed would have taken  the flu vaccine, but it was only available at the hospital Monday to  Friday between 10 AM and 2 PM.  

About 10% of those surveyed believed that all  vaccines are bad for one’s health because they introduce something  unnatural into the body.  

  1. The remainder had a variety of reasons for declining the vaccine, from religious beliefs to inconvenience.  
  2. From Pender’s model, what motivational factors might each of these be?
  3. Using Pender’s model, what actions might Ms. Chang take to improve the immunization rates?
  4. Citations from References that are 
  5. synthesized from the assigned article, course text, evidence-based and 
  6. peer-reviewed research articles, and other credible sources are
