Romania is the forty-sixth largest economy globally and ranked thirty-eighth in the most complex economy category based on the ECI (economic complexity index). The country has however faced a perpetual trade deficit (Steers, 456-461). Total exports into the country in 2009, for instance, amounted to $49.41 billion whereas the imports were $76.2 billion. In 2014 also, according to the ECI, Romania had an export of $71.4billion compared to $75.6 billion imports. In as much as an increase in trade is observable, the country is plagued by a perpetual trade deficit (Goschin, 24-37). To turn this scenario around and improve ...

While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

The affordable Care Act 2015 formerly christened as Obamacare is one of the major reforms in the health sector.

Research Paper

Abstract Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined as an impairment in neurobehavioral functioning that is characterized by constant and dysfunctional indications of inattention and hyperactivity. Individuals with ADHD usually have major disabilities in interpersonal, social, and academic performance. Moreover, ADHD is related to a number of co-morbid disorders and disabilities like learning impairments, disruptive behavioral patterns, and mood disorders. Numerous treatments have been studied by researchers, but most of them focused on pharmacological treatments. Generally, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of behavioral treatments in treating ADHD. One of the potential treatments for ADHD-- positive ...

Part one

How has the composition of federal and state and local government spending changed over the past 40 years? What social and economic factors might have contributed to this change in how governments spend their funds? The government has been changing its spending in the last forty years. In 1970’s almost half of federal spending was on defense and around 15% on healthcare and social security. Fast forward, in 2000’s health spending and social security exceeded spending on defense. In 2001 expenditure on defense fell below 20% the total federal budget. Besides, health spending by state and local ...

Chapter 5

The Texas education system raised concern since the declaration of independence in 1836 following the failure of the government to begin the public education system. However, in late 1983, a constitutional amendment that advocated for the provision of bonds by the school fund was passed through voting. Currently, school funds generated an income of approximately $756 million dollars thus, making education facilities more available to the students (Champagne and Edward 16). The dropout rate is the indicator of the holding power of various schools in Texas during that period. Data indicates that 106 counties recorded a reduction in the ...

ADHD is a behavioral disorder that exhibits a severe long-term effect on victims. The condition poses, even more, grave consequences on the health of females than males. Therefore, given that it can progress unnoticed during childhood, there is the need to conduct a thorough assessment to enable accurate diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made using the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. An in-depth exploration of all the possible treatment recommendations begins after the diagnosis. In the treatment of DHD detected in the patient in the case study, various approaches can be considered. Usually, the treatment of ...

Introduction

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders developing at rather early stages of the individual’s life and entailing a wide range of implications for physical and mental health, social interaction, behavior and further life. As findings of some epidemiological studies demonstrate, this disorder is characterized by rather significant prevalence among children of school age – from 3 to 5% (Dryer et al. 79). The effect of ADHD might create numerous difficulties for children in various environmental contexts, from classroom to home setting. However, disruptive nature of this health condition is even more outstanding as ADHD ...

The chosen theorist is Dorothea Orem, who was born in 1914 and died in 2007. She started her career after earning a diploma at Providence Hospital in Washington DC. In the start of her career, she worked as a nurse staff and then she became a nurse educator as well as administrator and nurse consultant. Also, with the help of her experiences, degree of doctorate level, she successfully introduced her general theory of nursing related to self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing system. However, the main focus of Orem was on self-care theory. Orem has defined four meta-paradigm concepts in ...

Introduction

The theory was developed with the aim of improving the quality of nursing and health care services. The concept of theory helps in creating different approaches to health care in various phenomena. The theory is applied by nurses in guiding and improving health care practices even though it must be consistent under validated principles and laws. Therefore, the paper elaborates on Orem’s self-care theory basing on its assumptions, concepts, clarity and application in nursing professionalism.

Evaluation of Orem's Self-care Theory

The theory assumptions include; Everyone is supposed to become reliant and responsible for themselves and taking care of their family members. The Orem’ ...

The principal characteristics of ADHD are reflected in the name of this disorder: it is attention deficit and hyperactivity, which are usually accompanied by impulsivity. On the other hand, we know that all children occasionally become too active, perform thoughtless acts and daydream about something. That means that the majority of children without exceptionalities also have the symptoms of ADHD, but their level is tolerable, so they are not considered to be exceptional. The presence of ADHD is determined when hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor concentration, combined with a tendency to be easily distracted, begin to seriously interfere with the ...

Question 1

The deficit can be best reduced by a combination of spending cuts and raising taxes. However, spending cuts are more effective in reducing the deficit. Raising taxes should be as limited as possible to avoid undesirable economic consequences (Mankiw, 2015). Raising income tax adversely affects the living standards of the citizens. Besides, an increase in corporate taxes may lead to higher prices of goods and services, a reduction in employment and some companies shifting their production and other activities to countries with favorable tax policies. Reducing government spending is key to ensuring a balanced budget as well as reducing ...

The Concept Analysis

The Concept Analysis In our daily lives, it is expected for us to look over and take care of ourselves. However, there are limitations, which hinder us from doing and performing such activities. That is why; we need other people to continue activities we cannot do. For instance, when we are experiencing pain or any disease, we go to healthcare institutions so that healthcare professionals can attend to our needs. These individuals, especially nurses, are required to provide healthcare needs to patients. Thus, nursing models and theories are established for the purpose of advancing the discipline and addressing issues ...

as Environment Policy

Effectiveness of Carbon Tax as Environment Policy

Climate change has emerged as a global challenge because unrestrained rising of global temperature would cause melting of glaciers and rise of sea level that would submerge land masses, change weather patterns with frequent incidence of hurricanes and floods and droughts. As an effective response to the challenge, global leaders have agreed to cut back emission of Green House Gases (GTG) to contain the global rise in temperature below 2 degree Celsius (Symon, 2013). Carbon dioxide, a major constituent of GTG, is released to the atmosphere on combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and ...

Austerity Policy Measures in the UK

Introduction The process of putting into place strategic measures with an aim of reducing of deficit and increasing economic growth in the United Kingdom has taken a paradigm shift from various aspects. The government of UK has put deficit reduction measures, which entail a series of strategically sustained reductions in public expenditure, undertaken towards a reduction of the government budget deficit and the UK’s welfare state. The design of this research paper is structured towards assessing the rationale on which the UK’s austerity policy is based with regards to deficit reduction and stimulation of economic growth (Burns, ...

Introduction

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common disorders emerging at early stages of the child’s development. ADHD might have both short-term negative effects on the child’s development and long-term implications for functioning in adolescence and adulthood. The symptoms of the disorder might develop already in early childhood and persist throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood; the impact of these symptoms might impair the person’s abilities in social, educational and vocational domains (Redmond 133).

What are the developmental difference in language acquisition between early and late childhood stages for children with attention deficit disorder?

Introduction Language development has been a principal issue of interest in developmental psychology, especially with consideration of multiple external and internal factors that can affect this aspect of learning – both in early childhood and at later stages. Pungello and colleagues (2009) summarize the existing research stating that early language development in children is principal for ...

When stating that Democracy demand deliberative judgment, Barber is simply stating that to achieve democracy, judgment needs to be made after long and careful thinking over the alternatives and evaluative judgment. Without the long consideration process, the citizens might not have the information and the grounds to make effective judgment or find a common ground. In my opinion, the deliberative judgment is the essence of making decisions, especially when they are important. The process of deliberation before making a judgment can shape the society and make people more aware about the realities of things around them. Important issues and ...

The trade and investment relationship between Australia and China demolishes the theory of comparative advantage. According to Adam Smith and Ricardo, it makes sense for a country to focus on the production of goods and services it can do efficiently and purchase goods and services it produces less efficiently from other countries. When this theory is applied to the trade relationship between Australia, a rich country and China, a poor country, we arrive at a paradoxical outcome. The introduction of a free trade regime resulting in Australia-China trading relationship implies that Australian consumers will pay lower prices for imported ...

The term "demand" in economics means payment need, i.e. need that the subject is able to pay. From this definition it follows that the demand for a particular commodity (service) depends on the price. This means that the increase in commodity prices will lead to a decrease in demand, and, conversely, a decrease in prices will lead to higher demand. The relationship between price and quantity demanded is stable. (Agarwal, 2013) The cause of the change in demand is change. This reverse causal relationship between price and quantity demanded is the law of demand. The law of demand manifests ...

The Autumn Statement is a traditional statement made by the government that serves as a financial report. It is the second made every year, with the first being the Spring Budget. It is given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who provides MPs with information about the United Kingdom’s taxation and spending (BBC, 2016). Traditionally, the Budget dealt primarily with taxation while the Statement focuses more on department allocation. The information and data used is compiled by the Office of Budget Responsibility, which publishes its information as soon as the chancellor finishes his/her speech. Last year’s Autumn ...

Importance of Nursing Theories

Importance of Nursing Theory Nursing theory can be defined as a belief or a set of proposed procedures or policies that must be followed concerning every nursing action. It is a set of frameworks of concepts that are developed to act as a guide for nurses. The theories were created to analyze and give meaning to the practice of nursing, guide the practice and offer a platform for clinical decision making (Masters, 2011). Nursing theories were developed through the collaboration of nurses with other healthcare professionals. In most cases, nurses use a range of approaches to carry out their ...

There is not a single best way to reduce the deficit in the country by 60% in the next 8 years. The short as well as long-term consequences of spending cuts and tax increases must be considered. The possible way is however the combination of both. With cutting the spending and increasing the taxes the reduction of economic growth can be seen. However, the economic deficit must be reduced because of the current increasing interest costs and spending among others on Social Security, and health insurance and it is estimated to grow to about 100% by the year 2035 ( ...

Significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, and its effect on the economy An increase in national budget, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, will result in a deficit, or more spending with less national input. Repercussions for a budget deficit can mean more borrowings for the national government from the private sector, such as the selling of bonds or gilts to the private sector. The debate over the budget deficit has two opposing views. The first one is that the deficit is destructive to the ...

Oil Prices Fluctuating In the Middle East

Introduction Oil being a commodity is subject to high levels of fluctuations as opposed to the stable investments like bonds and stocks. In particular, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) plays a significant role in influencing the prices of oil across the globe. As a result, OPEC controls around 40 percent of the global supply of oil by setting the production levels that caters for the world demand and it can determine the prices of gas and oil by reducing or raising the levels of production. At a particular point in time, OPEC vowed to maintain the prices above $ ...

Deficit or Surplus

Effects of Federal Budget Deficit or Surplus Q4. Explain why a federal budget surplus increases national savings, while a budget deficit decreases national savings. Reply: A government’s budget balance is the difference in government revenue and spending. When the federal expenditure is less than federal revenue, the federal budget is in surplus. National savings is the sum of private and public savings. In the case of the budget surplus, the government sector is a net contributor to national savings. This causes an increase in national savings. When federal budget is in deficit, the federal expenditure is more than ...

Question 1: Pathophysiology of Mr. Jensen’s post-operative hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a surgical condition that indicates the rapid fluid loss that may result in organ failures. The outcomes of the hypovolemia are mostly due to insufficient circulating volume or scarce perfusion. Often hypovolemia is secondary to hemorrhage the reason of which includes severe internal or external blood loss and GI, thoracic and abdominal bleeding maladies (Devitt, 2001). Hypovolemia involves significant fluid loss other than blood that can be further accompanied by refractory gastroenteritis and widespread burns. Hypovolemia may develop in post-surgical incidence, bone fracture, due to ...

Deficit spending refers to the spending of funds more than the income. In government, deficit spending occurs when the government expenditure exceed the revenues collected over a specified fiscal period (Investopedia, 2016b). An important note on government deficit spending is that it begins at the budgeting stage where the government plans to spend more than it expects to get in revenues. The consequence of this is that the government has to borrow even with the achievement of the highest estimates in revenue collection. The government finances the deficit through two main ways. Traditionally, the major method of meeting the ...

How the President’s Stimulus Plan for High-Speed Rail (HSR) will not work

The president’s HSR plan will spend billions to offer a rail service to a small percentage of the travelers. Importantly, the federal cannot afford this extravagant program, and it will cost taxpayers a lot of money. Thus, the plan will not work as previously expected. The federal has a large budget deficit of about 1.4 trillion (Utt, 2011). Thus, a massive expenditure on the HRS will heighten the deficit more. American citizens have realize that the plan will cost more compared to the perceived benefits. Although there seems to be small opposition on the HRS, it is clear ...

Introduction

The negative or positive experiences of early childhood play a very significant role in the development of the social and emotional behavior of an individual. According to Fagundes, Bennett, Derry, and Kiecolt-Glaser (2011), the ability to understand the social and emotional behavior of an adult is complex because it requires one to have a comprehensive understanding of their entire lifespan (p. 40). This is because the social and emotional development of an individual are influenced by several factors that they encounter during their major stages of growth in their lifespan (McClelland, Ponitz, Messersmith, & Tominey, 2010, p. 35).

The main goal of the state at all stages of its development is the stabilization of the economy. At the present time, the state actively uses the tools of intervention in the economy. The main 2 types of state intervention in the market economy include fiscal and monetary policies. Fiscal policy has been a key policy tool in addressing the aggregate demand consequences of the financial crisis in the United States. (Follette & Lutz, 2010)

Objectives of fiscal policy as any stabilization (countercyclical) policies aimed at smoothing cyclical fluctuations in the economy are to ensure:

Stable economic growth; Full employment (primarily a solution to the problem of cyclical unemployment); Stable price level (problem of inflation). (Strauch & Hagen, 2000) Fiscal policy ...

U.S. Trade Deficit The US has been running the significant trade deficit over the last four decades. As a result, the country is the biggest debtor in the world with almost $3 trillion net debt. Obviously, this situation raises concerns among many researchers and policymakers, as they suggest that the long-run trade and current account deficits might make devastating effect on the growth performance. Actually, the issue is quite controversial and debatable: for example, other researches claim, that trade deficit is merely the result of the effective re-allocation of resources in the global economy and there is no consequences, ...

Introduction

The Petrochemical industry in the ministry of energy has been focusing on the oil prices change and how it influences the economy. The oil demand comes from the petrochemical industry whereby energy generation helps in manufacturing and production industries. These industries help in economic transformation through improving country’s GDP. As the source of energy, oil in the petrochemical industry has been influenced by inflation and unemployment, interest rates and exchange rate. These factors influence the government spending, hence affecting the importation of oil from the producing countries such as Saudi Arabia. The oil prices as a result of ...

While the Etiology of the ADHD remains unclear, there are many theories, which should give an answer about the causes of disease. Current generally accepted theories believe that genetic factors and the environment in which the child grows play a key role in the development of the disease. The most attention is drawn to the differences of genes, which control dopamine neurotransmission in the brain of the ADHD patients. Dopamine plays an important role in cognitive activities. Activation of dopaminergic transmission is necessary for the processes of switching attention from one stage of human cognitive activity to another. According ...

Question one: What happens to the value of equity when the value of mortgages decline?

Under the scenario where the price of mortgages decrease, financial institutions such as banks will reduce their investments as well as the lending. Therefore, consumers will experience some difficulties while obtaining home equity loans. For instance, the withdrawal of capital in the United Kingdom put up extra pounds into the economy before the financial crisis. Thus, leading to negative pounds in 2008 (Investopedia). The declining value for mortgages have an adverse effects on the banking industry. It implies that falling mortgages will make financial institutions to lose cash especially when bank’s clients default from their mortgage payments. Consequently, ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

The book is unbiased and stable, straightforward, eye-opening, and pleasantly irreverent guide to the federal budget problems. DiBiase (2009) stated that is by no means outdated. It was made when the nationwide debt was only $9 trillion. It talks about the method of setting the federal budget up, where the money derive from, where it goes and the reason the government is spending more that it has. ...

Literature Review

It is found that oil prices have undergone critical decline over past couple of years for several reasons at the bottom of this decline. However, reducing demand triggered by increased production of oil in USA, over production by OPEC, and shift towards renewable sources of energy is considered the most fundamental reason behind current downtrend of oil prices. It conforms to the simple theory of demand and supply according to which demand and price are in positive, while price and supply are in negative relationship with each other (Stafford, 2015; Scott, 2015; Goldenberg, 2016; Arnold, 2008; Hensher, Rose, & Greene, ...

Money and prices in the long run and open economies dictate the financial market. As such, that is why factors such as domestic variables and foreign monetary policies are over-emphasized. Demand for money is thus affected by the domestic variables, which include interest rates, price expectations, and permanent income, among others. As such, this paper explores the financial market to reveal the viable strategies the US can adapt to secure reliable money and prices in an open economy on a long-term basis.

Though not diagnosed until the 1980s, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, has been around for a very long time. Before medications were used to control it the behavior was often grossly misdiagnosed as a number of different issues and treated almost like lunacy in extreme circumstances. To date the disorder has been reevaluated and given the attention it deserves, though many methods are still questionable. Treating ADHD with medication alone is not the viable answer. In fact it has been seen that in adults who deal with ADHD that substances that are designed to help an individual focus ...

Long-term influence of monetary policy

Monetary policy can either be contractionary or expansionary, and both policies impact nominal variables differently in the long-run. Price levels A contractionary policy results in a decrease in equity prices because the income stream is discounted at a relatively higher rate. Also, the price levels of equity can drop since high-interest rates and low supply of money lead to reduced demand for equity. In this case, bonds can be an attractive investment since they pay high interests (Meltzer, 1995). Nevertheless, an increase in interest rates does not always result in fall of share prices. People may interpret the high-interest ...

The journey towards the European Union (EU) integration has experienced several turnings. This section of the essay will detail some of the core turning points in the EU integration. Establishment of a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was a major turning point in EU integration. The Treaty of Rome defined the specific objectives of the CAP. The CAP was introduced in 1962 (Folmern.p). The establishment of the CAP was enshrined to the state of food shortages after World War II. The aim of the CAP was to build a common European Community market and to cut off tariffs on agricultural ...

Edmonds, Tsay, and Olds (2011, p.314) considers the cash budget to be one of the most important operating budgets developed by the company. The reason for this is that it reveals the amount of cash excess and deficit incurred by the company, which is usually on a monthly basis (Horngren, Harrison, & Oliver, 2012, p.1065). The additional purpose of the cash budget is that it reveals the amount of cash that can be used by the company for short-term investments or for the repayment of previous borrowings in the event of a cash excess (Edmonds, Tsay, & Olds, 2011, p.315).
