Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interdependence of economies, technologies, and cultures around the world. It occurs through advances in transportation and communication technologies that make the movement of goods, capital, services, and people easier across borders. The forces driving globalization include economic factors like international trade and investment as well as social and cultural dimensions like the spread of ideas, information, and business practices globally. While previous eras saw increased connections between societies, globalization today differs in its rapid pace and broad scope, creating new opportunities but also inequalities as some regions, industries, and groups benefit more than others from global flows.
Studying globalization from an interdisciplinary perspective means drawing on theories and methods from multiple academic fields

Module Four
In this module, we focus on the evolution of the global and virtual (Web-based) societies of the twenty-first century. We begin by defining globalization—what it is and how it has developed through the increased sophistication of telecommunications and large, international financial systems. We then explore the individual's role in global society, and how roles in poor societies differ from those in rich societies. For example, we'll explore how the physical distance between these societies affects individuals' feelings of responsibility and involvement.
We will then investigate a new and growing society that is essentially built on physical distance—the virtual society of the Internet. In our explorations we consider two important questions: How do we interact as individuals in a Web-based society, and how can our knowledge of sociology help us to understand this world better?

The issue I decide to talk about is lack of education. Education has not reached its peak due to change. Change is funny as it overwhelms people with different emotions. For instance, change can foster fear, happiness, doubt, uncertainty, acceptance, and love. Further study is required because “while nearly everyone engaged in the debate about schooling acknowledges that more resources is not a panacea (solution) the question is whether budgets can be expanded on specific items in a way that would increase the efficacy of schooling” (Pritchett, 2004, pg. 4, para. 1).

for assistance).
Change is inevitable whether you like it or not, it will happen. It does matter if it is for the betterment of mankind or the destruction of humanity. To be better prepared we need to improve our education infrastructure around the world. The fear of change has crippled us causing our education standards to decline. The reason change needs to happen is because we have become unaware, less knowledgeable, disconnect and less than human. Making higher education available for all would have caught this dilemma sooner, provided solutions using social justice, and replace fear with compassion and the will to act. The truth high quality education is a need not a want.

Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.
Countries with deficient infrastructure are left behind or forgotten. Arditi (2004) stated, “the third salient aspect of globalization arises from the exponential increase in the pace of political, technological, economic, or cultural change. Its impact is undecidable” (pg. 3, para. 2)

Problem Set 3: Multipliers & the money market model
Spring 2019
This assignment is due in hard copy at the beginning of class on Thursday February 21.
Remember that the process of how you arrive at an answer is as important as the answer itself.
Therefore, full credit will require you to show all steps and work, clearly label all graphs, and
fully explain any answers that ask for an explanation.
Question 1: Analyzing fiscal policy options after a recession
Consider an economy that behaves according to the following behavioral equations (this is the
simplest version of the economy that we’ve set up in class):
𝐶 = 𝑐$ + 𝑐&𝑌(
𝑌( = 𝑌 − 𝑇
and taxes (T), investment (I), and government spending (G) are all exogenous.
GDP in 2009 was roughly $15,000 billion. During the 2009 crisis, GDP fell approximately 3
percentage points.
a. How many billion dollars is 3 percentage points of $15,000 billion?
b. What is the government spending multiplier in this economy?
c. If the propensity to consume is 0.5, by how much would government spending have
increased to prevent a decrease in output?
d. What is the tax multiplier?
e. If the propensity to consume is 0.5, by how much would taxes have to have been cut to
prevent any decrease in output?
Question 2: Comparative statics in the money market model
Does the interest rate increase or decrease in each of the following scenarios? In each case, set up
a graph to support your answer.
a. An increase in the money supply set by the central bank.
b. An decrease in nominal GDP.
c. An increase in real GDP.
Question 3: Monetary policy and open market operations.
Suppose that money demand is given by:
𝑀( = $𝑌(0.25 − 𝑖)
Where $Y is $100. Also suppose the supply of money is $20.
a. What is the equilibrium interest rate?
b. If the Federal Reserve wants to increase 𝑖 by 10 percentage points, at what level should it set
the money supply?

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
