Fiscal Policy

 The U.S. Congress debates a new budget every fiscal year. Most Republicans want to reduce federal spending; most Democrats do not want to reduce spending and may, in some cases, seek to increase it. Choose a perspective, and in your post identify three reasons that the United States should currently seek to decrease or increase federal spending. In your rationale, be sure to reflect on the impact of government spending on GDP and national income. Draw on the course readings and your own research to support your assertions. Be sure to use APA format to cite sources. 

Use the course readings and your own research to support your arguments and use APA guidelines for citations and references. Please remember to be respectful at all times. Support your post with the theories presented in the unit readings and resources, using proper APA formatted citations and references.

Income Inequality

For this class, we will not cover income inequality, but it is a very interesting topic. Income inequality is measured by Gini coefficient, with the value between 0 and 1. Higher value represents greater income inequality.

In this assignment, you are going to find a chart showing the income inequality of a city or a country (again, please do not choose the US country). Discuss the reason(s) for a high/low level of income inequality. Also discuss how such level of income inequality will affect the society in the future.

Requirements: pls make it very short just answering a question, no detail research needed pls, and pls provide a chart and some pictures too (1 chart, 2 pictures of income inequality) Not more than 3 pages and pls pls I do not want in detail. (Pictures and chart imp)

Nuclear Meds

Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of modern medicine that exploits the process of radioactivity for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Many imaging techniques inject small amounts of radioactive material into the body, which are then tracked by a sensing device specific to the type of radiation emitted from that material. Radiation has also been used to destroy diseased tissue, typically beyond the reach of standard surgical techniques.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on nuclear medicine. Address the following:

• Explain the scientific and technical concepts related to nuclear medicine. Consider the following questions when you construct your response:
  • What type of radiation is typically exploited in most nuclear medicine procedures?
  • How are patients prepared for nuclear medicine procedures?
  • What are the advantages and limitations of nuclear medicine?
  • What ailments are typically diagnosed and treated via nuclear medicine procedures?
• Evaluate a minimum of three applications of nuclear medicine relating to any of the following topics:
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
  • Gallium scans
  • Indium white blood cell scans
  • Iobenguane scans (MIBG)
  • Octreotide scans
  • Hybrid scanning techniques employing X-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Nuclear medicine therapy using radiopharmaceuticals

Support your statements with examples. Provide a minimum of three scholarly references.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources

Cultural Communication

The American workplace can be very diverse, composed of people of different genders, races, ethnicities, and religions all working together. In fact, the United States is oftentimes considered to have some of the most culturally diverse workplaces. To help you with this discussion, review the National Culture (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. webpage to read about Professor Geert Hofstede's research into the six dimensions of national cultures. Next, visit the Countries (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. webpage to look at how the dimensions of national culture in the United States compare to those of other countries. The multi-cultural workplace provides a lot of benefits through diverse viewpoints and experiences that are brought to the table. However, it can also present us with unique workplace challenges, particularly in regard to cross-cultural communication. In order to understand more about how miscommunications can happen in cross-cultural interactions, please also watch the Intercultural Communication Adventure with Little Pilot (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. video and read Cultural Communication Barriers in the Workplace (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..Based on the websites, video, and article, please address the following: On Hofstede's Courtries webpage, select a country of your choice and compare it to the United States on three of the six dimensions of national cultures. For each of those three dimensions chosen, answer the following questions:

How is the dimension defined? Why is this dimension useful to understanding the country culture? How does your country compare to the U.S. on this dimension? 

Describe an experience you have had involving cross-cultural communication. 

What tools did you use to navigate your cross-cultural interaction?

 Did you confront any misunderstandings due to the cross-cultural nature of the communication? If so, what where they? If not, how were you able to avoid any misunderstandings?

What two techniques or skills do you think would help reduce cross-cultural communication misunderstandings in the workplace?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.

Write a paper comparing and contrasting the research methodologies and results of at least two different studies on motivation and performance associated with a specific emotion.
Preparation
This assessment requires you to identify a topic to research and then to examine the results and methods of two studies on the selected topic. The topic must be an emotion and its effect on goal-directed motivation.
An important skill in conducting research is to narrow the focus of your topic to keep the content manageable and to facilitate finding supportive evidence. To identify a topic:
Select a positive or negative emotion that has an effect on goal-directed motivation, and then begin to narrow the focus of the topic.
Continue to narrow the focus of your topic with consideration for other relevant factors, such as age of the research subjects (adults versus children), their gender, their educational level, or other demographic or topical factors. Your goal is to identify a research topic that is appropriately narrow and can be sharply defined, and for which research is available.
Do some preliminary research to ensure that you have sufficient sources for your topic. You must locate at least two peer-reviewed research journal articles on your chosen topic from the Capella library. To find sources, select key words and enter them into the Summon search engine in the Capella University Library. If you do not find sufficient resources, revise the focus of your topic and try again.
Finally, develop a working title for your paper (for example, \"The Benefits of Hope in Peak Work Performance\" or \"Effects of Depression on Adolescent Academic Performance\") that addresses the narrowed and manageable research topic.
After you identify a topic, select two studies to use as the focus for your paper.
Instructions
For this assessment, write a paper in which you complete the following:
Describe, based upon current research, the effect of a selected negative or positive emotion on goal-directed motivation.
Describe how the negative or positive emotion addressed by current research affects the biological, learned, and cognitive components of goal-directed motivation.
Compare and contrast the research methods used in the two selected studies. What is the purpose of these studies? What are the research questions to be answered by these studies? Do the research results address the research questions?
Identify the tools (interviews, surveys, questionnaires) and technologies (telephone, audio/videotapes, Internet) that were used in the selected studies.
Conclude with what you learned from this research and how it may inform or describe your personal or professional behavior in similar circumstances.
Additional Requirements
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA sixth edition style and formatting.
Number of resources: At least 3 scholarly academic resources are included.
Length of paper: The length is a minimum of 5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference list.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point font is used.
