I have provides parts 1, 2, and 3 for this assignment. Add to Parts 1-3 of your Organization Wide Operating Budget by identifying the Projected Profit/Loss for Year 1. This will require you to project actual revenue based on your projected revenue sources. Treatment codes (known as CPT codes) are used to define the type of treatment. Individual Psychotherapy 20-30 minutes is code 90804; 45-50 minutes is 90806, 75-80 minutes is 90808; Family Therapy is 90847; Group Therapy is 90853. Other common codes are listed on the recommended materials website pdf file #4. While there are significant differences in payment for each treatment code based on the payer source (Medicare/Medicare is generally the lowest payer source so this website listed on recommended materials #3 will generate your bottom line revenue projection); there are also significant differences in payment by licensure type, degree (masters vs. doctorate), state or urban/rural geographic location. Assume that traditional insurance like Blue Cross/Blue Shield will reimburse ~30-40% more than Medicare/Medicaid. Managed care and other payer sources will be somewhere in between. Private pay and grant funded clientele are the easiest to predict as long as you have an accurate representation of how many clients will be served by these payer sources. Create a minimum (based on the lowest paying source for all clients) and optimum (based on what you think will happen with clientele’s payer sources) profit/loss projection based on subtracting the amount from your previous assignment’s conclusion of expenses. If you have a profit, determine if it is enough profit to justify your time/effort/educational investment/etc.? If you have a loss, where can you find additional income sources (i.e., fundraising events, charity sponsorship, partnerships with other related organizations, additional private or public grants) to make up for this loss and how feasible is this?

What is happening in Yemen?! The situation in Yemen has been at the forefront of the news recently and it is a complete chaotic mess in that country. In this week's Research Journal, students are to give a brief overview of the issues in Yemen to include: the current situation involving the Houthi movement & the recent UN brokered peace agreement, the Iranian involvement, the Saudi & US intervention, as well as the continued presence & operations of AQAP & ISIS in Yemen. Why is this situation in Yemen so important to international terrorism (or counter-terrorism efforts)?
I need help with writing a literature review for my dissertation. My research question is “What are the underlying factors that influence voting behavior among the youth in the Maldives?”. The motivation behind this study is to address the existing gap in the literature and contributing by identifying the factors for youth voting behavior in the Maldives. For the literature review I want to explain, analyse and criticize 3-4 theories of voting and how this could apply to the Maldives. These include social identity voting theory, political socialization theory, life cycle theory and political identity theory. Political identity theory is the theory I want to choose in my theoretical framework. My hypothesis is that voter turnout among the youth in the Maldives is low due to a lack of of a political identity.

Research Assignment #10: Electoral process in Authoritarian Regimes: 'The Dictator's Dilemma' Dear Students: This is a qualitative research assignment 'case study', write an executive summary examining your critical thinking by comparing electoral process in Authoritarian regimes. Consider the 'Dictator's Dilemma for Governing' and 'Regime Change' for nations that have been under Communism, Dictatorship or Theocratic rule with authoritarian rule. Describe how the 'electoral process' works and affects the governing regime rule. Please choose one case study to compare regime change and electoral process in authoritarian systems. Case Study: N. Korea vs Iran or China vs Russia Mission: See Module III Supplemental Links, Textbook and utilize online resources to complete this assignment/case study. Please evaluate and define the institutional principles of one Case Study: "N. Korea vs Iran" or "China vs Russia" as Regimes with electoral process. Through your own critical and comprehensive analysis you can make a comparison and detect the similarities and differences that these two nations have as Authoritarian regimes and reflecting on the 'Dictator's Dilemma'. Guidelines to Consider for your Research: Why has Putin preserved the trappings of democracy rather than creating a purely authoritarian regime? Can you use the theories of why dictators allow institutions to survive to explain Putin’s actions?What do recent trends suggest for the future stability and success of Putin’s regime? Recent trends have suggested that the quasi-democratic elements of Iran’s governing institutions are relatively weak. Nonetheless, how might they help the top Iranian leadership overcome the dictator’s dilemma that all authoritarian regimes face?What does Iran’s history suggest about the relative importance of repression, co-optation, and legitimacy for the survival of authoritarian regimes?Can the theories that explain the durability of electoral authoritarian regimes be applied to Iran’s theocratic regime? How much do they help us explain Iran? What does China’s succession system suggest about the relationship between personal power, succession, and regime survival in authoritarian regimes?The Chinese government has allowed participation and criticism at the local level in various ways but repressed it firmly at the national level. Can you use the idea of the dictator’s dilemma to explain this pattern of behavior?How can the theories of authoritarian rule outlined earlier in the chapter be used to explain the durability of China’s regime? Considering the Dynastic Dictatorship of North Korea and Supreme Leadership, how does the electoral process within the regime functions and represents the people? What's the Dictator's Dilemma for N. Korea? Research Guidelines: Please view the Supplemental Links Part I attached in the module for further research and inspiration. Use the Online Library of your College.

Research Assignment #9: Electoral Systems and Political Parties: " Presidential vs Parliamentary Government" Dear Students: Through qualitative research please assess the electoral systems that evolve through Democratic institutions in Federal or Unitary systems. Consider multi-party, two-party or single-party systems, evaluating all party ideologies that can be formed through Federations, Confederations, Proportional Representation (PR) and/or Single Party District/Plurality Representation systems. (SDM/PE). Please assess the difference of Presidential Government vs Parliamentary Government. Case study choose one set of countries: US vs Italy Or France vs Italy Mission: After Reading from ebooks and appropriate Links under Modules III. Please evaluate and define the institutional principles of these two nations Italy vs France or US vs Italy by describing their electoral systems/party system and assess their difference between presidential or parliamentary systems during elections. Consider coalition politics for Italy and popular representation for the US. Through your own critical and comprehensive analysis you can make a comparison and detect the similarities and differences that these two nations have in their past institutions and how they derived as strong states. Guidelines to Consider for your Research: Identify these nations governmental systems, party system and electoral system. Under which sort of system is the government likely to have the easiest time passing sweeping legislation: presidentialism, multi-party parliamentary government, single-party parliamentary government? Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the various sorts of electoral systems? Why might a country establish a federal system of government? Why might it choose to establish or retain a unitary system of government? What is coalition politics and under which electoral system it occurs? Is popular representation the same plurality system representation?m Research Guidelines: Please view the Supplemental Links under Module II for further research and inspiration.
