A hybrid car is a motor vehicle that uses two or more different sources of power. In most hybrids, you will find an internal combustion engine in addition to an electrical motor. Depending on how the vehicle is driven and the availability of power, the car uses gasoline and battery power alternately.

In this assignment, you will research five different hybrid cars and evaluate their impact on the environment.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, do the following:

• Identify the top five most popular choices of hybrid cars. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each car’s technology, price, manufacturing, and impact on environment. Include the scientific principles involved in the technology.
• Determine which type of car would work best for you and your family. Justify your decision based on your analysis of the five hybrid cars.
• Explain the impact these cars will have on the United States’ economy. Consider the following issues in your analysis: consumer buying, sustainability, recycling, and fuel economy.
• Evaluate the impact that hybrid-car technology has had or could have on the United States’ political relationships with oil-producing countries. Be sure to include an analysis of economic issues such as production, supply, and trade.
• Describe how this technology will influence world politics. Include an analysis of economic issues such as production, supply, and trade.

Support your statements with examples. Use a minimum of six reliable references, two of which should be peer-reviewed articles.

We are already aware of the levels of the Legal System, namely Federal, State, Local and Administrative levels. All of these have written enactments of statutes to govern policy and conduct that they must rule upon.

1, Where do we find the Federal Statutes? What are the names of the Federal Statutes? Which of these is “official”? What does that mean?

2. Where do we find the State Statutes. What are they named in your State? The two that I most deal with are the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA for short), and the Massachusetts General Laws Annotated (MGLA for short).

3. In the Federal Statutes (if you had a problem in answering question #1 above, perhaps you might find this question helpful…), you have the United States Code (U. S. C.), the United States Code Annotated (U. S. C. A.), and the United States Code Service (U. S. C. S.). Is the Law itself any different among these three publications? Where is it different? Which one, or ones, do you feel would be more helpful to you in your research? Why? Where might you find all of these books? How are they updated? Why is it extremely important to know the history of the statute, rather than just the latest version of it?

4. How are the Codes recorded into Law? Why is the date of the Law important? How might this influence our case-at-bar?

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

The chief of police of the local police department has approached your team to develop an Interagency Mental Health and Crisis Intervention Response Plan that includes local, state, and federal crisis intervention agencies and other emergency and private resources for the purpose of responding to a terrorist event or natural disaster. The chief has informed you that he is concerned that many cities, including his own, do not have a written mental health response plan for critical incidents.

 

Create a 10- to 15-slideMicrosoft^® PowerPoint^® presentation to present to the chief of police that details your interagency Mental Health and Crisis Intervention Response Plan. Consider demographics, resources, and needs of the department and community while creating the plan.

 

Include the following in your presentation:

 

• Introductory section on the various types of critical incidents and their physical, financial, and societal effect on victims, first responders and communities and how this plan can address that impact.

 

• What local, state, and federal Human Service Delivery organizations you would choose to be a part of this plan and why you specifically chose these organizations.

 

• Outline of the specific mental health and crisis response for a critical incident discussing the various types of possible critical incidents that this plan would apply to.

 

• What the specific crisis response duties of those individual organizations will be in the event of a terrorist attack or major catastrophic event and how they will work with your department in responding to a critical incident.

If one organization should be the lead in the event, and how that responsibility would be decided

1. If a U.S. firm hires foreign workers abroad, would these wages count in the U.S. GDP? (i.e. an Indian citizen working in a call center for Microsoft in India) Why or why not?
2. If Walmart decides to open a production facility in China, would this be counted in the U.S. GDP?

Many times organizations will make decisions based upon what other organizations are doing at the time or based upon the latest business trend. Think about the dot-com bubble as businesses soared and perhaps were also part of the major bust. Many organizations felt that they needed to join the crowd and have an online presence, only to realize within a couple of years that the decisions were made in haste, which resulted in many companies filing for bankruptcy. This era also had some companies that did not follow the trend only to realize within a couple of years that they were losing out on a new market, such as the online trading industry. This is why doing some research in the beginning can really help organizations make decisions based upon what is truly good for the organization.

 

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research ways of making informed decisions.

 

Respond to the following:

 

• Why do you think managers, or business decision makers, get caught up in following the crowd versus making decisions that are truly going to add value to the business? For example, some businesses may make decisions that drive only short-term gains at the cost of future growth. Can such a blind leap be a good thing for the business? Is it worth the risk?
• How can managers ensure that they are not following a trend but instead doing what is truly best for the organization?
• Have you seen your organization make trend mistakes? What were the mistakes? How could these mistakes have been avoided or improved upon?
• How do you think business can learn from the mistakes of others or business decision mistakes such as the dot-com era?

 

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Key Assignment Draft

You, Mike, and Tiffany meet in a conference room to begin to assemble your final presentation.

This presentation will be the project deliverable, so you want to make sure you have provided all of the requirements.

Mike begins, “I think we’ve done some pretty good analysis on our strategy. We just have to put the pieces together before the final presentation.”

“We do have some solid information, but we have to look at all the parts to see if we can remain competitive,” Tiffany adds.

Complete the following:

• What are the considerations that you need to be aware of to remain competitive?
• Based on the research that you have done, can you compete in the market that you have chosen? Why or why not?
• What primary factors led you to this decision?
• What would you say to someone who would dispute your position?
• How do you plan on evaluating the global marketplace in the future

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 600–800 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Your team attends a trade conference on the subject of globalization. They have attended several seminars both advocating and dismissing implementing a global strategy. You return to the office and share some of what you have learned with the team.

“Globalization is a very interesting topic and can get very heated,” you explain. “There are some countries and companies who are fiercely loyal to their homes and would not consider going global. Others see it as a benefit to the company and their customers. Some people here in the states believe that American-made is best because we are contributing to our home country. But, is it? Is it always best to stay domestic? How does this impact pricing? Are you truly helping?”

As your team ponders these questions, you start to think about your position on the topic. Complete the following:

• Are you for or against globalization?
• Is your recommendation for your company to go global? Why or why not?
• How does globalization impact the marketplace as a whole?
• Has your opinion changed from the beginning of the course to now?

Question #1 What is meant by the term “tactical advertising” and “creative services campaigns” and how do they apply to NBC/Universal ? Question #2 : A. What job responsibilities would “Head of Advertising” perform?

We’ve spent some time in and out of class thinking about arguments for licensing parents. I want you to write a three-page paper (11-12 point font, double spaced) that states your opinion on this topic and your reasons for your opinion. In other words, I want you to create an argument to support/prove your view on licensing parents.

 

Importantly, I want you to state whether it is deductive or inductive and explicitly state the premises and conclusion of the argument. Once you’ve made sure that your argument is valid (if you are giving a deductive argument) or strong (if you are giving an inductive argument), try to show that your premises are true or at least plausible (i.e. seems believable). If you succeed, then you will have shown that your argument is either sound or cogent.
