Supplementary Empirical Teaching Units in Political Science (SETUPS) for American Politics are computer-related modules designed for use in teaching introductory courses in American government and politics. The modules are intended to demonstrate the process of examining evidence and reaching conclusions and to stimulate students to independent, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of substantive content. They enable students with no previous training to make use of the computer to analyze data on political behavior or to see the results of policy decisions by use of a simulation model. The SETUPS: AMERICAN POLITICS modules were developed by a group of political scientists with experience in teaching introductory American government courses who were brought together in a workshop supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation in the summer of 1974. The American Political Science Association administered the grant, and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research was host to the workshop and provided data for most of the SETUPS. The modules were tested and evaluated during the 1974-1975 academic year by students and faculty in 155 classes at 69 universities and colleges. Appropriate revisions were made based upon this experience. This collection comprises 15 separate modules: (1) Political Socialization Across the Generations, (2) Political Participation, (3) Voting Behavior, The 1980 Election, (4) Elections and the Mass Media, (5) The Supreme Court in American Politics, Court Decisions, (6) The Supreme Court in American Politics, Police Interrogations, (7) The Dynamics of Political Budgeting, A Public Policy Simulation, State Expenditures, (8) The Dynamics of Political Budgeting, A Public Policy Simulation, SIMSTATE Simulation, (9) The Dynamics of Political Budgeting, A Public Policy Simulation, SIMSTATE II Simulation, (10) Fear of Crime, (11) Presidential Popularity in America, Presidential Popularity, (12) Presidential Popularity in America, Advanced Analyses, (13) Campaign '80, The Public and the Presidential Selection Process, (14) Voting Behavior, The 1976 Election, and (15) Policy Responsiveness and Fiscal Strain in 51 American Communities. Parts 8 and 9 are FORTRAN IV program SIMSTATE sourcedecks intended to simulate the interaction of state policies. Variables in the various modules provide information on respondents' level of political involvement and knowledge of political issues, general political attitudes and beliefs, news media exposure and usage, voting behavior (Parts 1, 2, and 3), and sectional biases (15). Other items provide information on respondents' views of government, politics, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter as presidents, best form of government, government spending (Part 3), local police, the Supreme Court (Parts 4 and 15), the economy, and domestic and foreign affairs. Additional items probed respondents' opinions of prayer in school, abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment Law, nuclear energy, and the most important national problem and the political party most suitable to handle it (Part 3). Also included are items on votes of Supreme Court judges (Part 5), arrest of criminal suspects and their treatment by law enforcement agencies (Part 6), federal government expenditures and budgeting (Part 7), respondents' feelings of safety at home, neighborhood crime rate, frequency of various kinds of criminal victimization, the personal characteristics of the targets of those crimes (Part 10), respondents' opinions of and choice of party presidential candidates nominees (Part 13), voter turnout for city elections (15), urban unrest, and population growth rate.

Abstract (en): This special topic poll, conducted April 30 to May 6, 1996, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. This poll sought Americans' views on the most important problems facing the United States, their local communities and their own families. Respondents rated the public schools, crime, and drug problems at the national and local levels, their level of optimism about their own future and that of the country, and the reasons they felt that way. Respondents were asked whether they were better off financially than their parents were at their age, whether they expected their own children to be better off financially than they were, and whether the American Dream was still possible for most people. Respondents then compared their expectations about life to their actual experiences in areas such as job security, financial earnings, employment benefits, job opportunities, health care benefits, retirement savings, and leisure time. A series of questions asked whether the United States was in a long-term economic and moral decline, whether the country's main problems were caused more by a lack of economic opportunity or a lack of morality, and whether the United States was still the best country in the world. Additional topics covered immigration policy and the extent to which respondents trusted the federal, state, and local governments. Demographic variables included respondents' sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration and participation history, labor union membership, the presence of children in the household, whether these children attended a public school, and the employment status of respondents and their spouses. The data contain a weight variable (WEIGHT) that should be used in analyzing the data. This poll consists of "standard" national representative samples of the adult population with sample balancing of sex, race, age, and education. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data.

Inflation was the most worrying topic worldwide as of January 2025, with one third of the respondents choosing that option. Crime and violence as well as poverty and social inequality followed behind. Moreover, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war in Gaza, nine percent of the respondents were worried about military conflict between nations. Only four percent were worried about the COVID-19 pandemic, which dominated the world after its outbreak in 2020. Global inflation and rising prices Inflation rates have spiked substantially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. From 2020 to 2021, the worldwide inflation rate increased from 3.5 percent to 4.7 percent, and from 2021 to 2022, the rate increased sharply from 4.7 percent to 8.7 percent. While rates are predicted to fall come 2025, many are continuing to struggle with price increases on basic necessities. Poverty and global development Poverty and social inequality was the third most worrying issue to respondents. While poverty and inequality are still prominent, global poverty rates have been on a steady decline over the years. In 1994, 64 percent of people in low-income countries and around one percent of people in high-income countries lived on less than 2.15 U.S. dollars per day. By 2018, this had fallen to almost 44 percent of people in low-income countries and 0.6 percent in high-income countries. Moreover, fewer people globally are dying of preventable diseases and people are living longer lives. Despite these aspects, issues such as wealth inequality have global prominence.

The industry is navigating a shifting market where budget-conscious consumers and a reduced need for significant moves are evident. While relocations occur as some individuals return home, these moves pose challenges. Customers increasingly opt to transport fewer items, diminishing the need for larger-scale moving services. Also, service quality issues have arisen, with concerns about items breaking during transit. This has elevated the importance of improving operational standards alongside strengthening liability insurance to uphold reputational trust. The industry focuses on cost allocation to enhance operations, including hiring skilled professionals, developing robust packaging solutions and deploying CRM technology for better cost management. On a positive note, enhanced company relocation offers have spurred an uptick in long-distance moves. Employers often subsidize such moves, providing an additional push for the sector. Temporary work assignments have also increased, driving the need for employee relocations related to short-term projects. This trend offers ongoing activity as employees eventually return to their home locations. Nonetheless, the industry's profitability has felt pressure from necessary investments in operation quality because of these downsized, non-work-related hauls. Because of this, the industry's revenue exhibits modest growth, expanding at a CAGR of 2.7% over five years, aiming for $23.3 billion by 2025, with a boost of 0.9% in 2025. The residential moving market remains restrained, as hesitant homeowners limit significant revenue opportunities, impacted by a tight housing stock. This scenario has pushed the industry towards price increases, potentially shifting some consumers to do-it-yourself approaches. In the commercial sector, a preference for optimizing space leads to reduced moves, challenging the industry's growth during the period. Military moves remain a key area needing operational reforms to secure market retention. Still, the expanding reliance on global talent mobility programs significantly supports the industry's outlook. These initiatives are helping to offset some of the financial challenges and shifting market activity. Expected revenue growth is steady, though subdued, anticipating a CAGR of 1.5% over the following period to reach $25.1 billion by 2030.

In a 2024 survey on the most pressing issues in German politics, around 26 percent of respondents named immigration and dealing with refugees as one of the most relevant issues, that German society and politics were facing at the moment.

Gym, health and fitness clubs stand at a dynamic crossroads, shaped by both impressive resilience and evolving consumer expectations. Despite economic headwinds—including persistent inflation, rising membership fees and supply chain disruptions—Americans’ appetite for fitness hasn’t waned. While higher prices and tariff-driven equipment costs have prompted some concerns around affordability and retention, leading operators have kept pace by doubling down on transparency, technological innovation and community-driven experiences, keeping the industry remarkably buoyant, even as members become more discerning and hybrid workout habits take root. Revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 7.1% to $45.7 billion in 2025, including an uptick of 2.0% that year. Home workouts and digital fitness surged in recent years, with brands like Peloton, Apple Fitness and countless app-based platforms filling the void. Still, the desire for social connection, accountability and access to specialized classes supported attendance at gyms and fitness centers, with group classes, boutique experiences and sports leagues (like the nation’s pickleball boom) fueling a new wave of growth. Technological integration has become standard, as fitness centers capitalized on mobile booking, wearables, hybrid class offerings and personalized digital experiences to boost retention. Gyms have also responded to sticky inflation and financial uncertainty by offering more flexible, tiered memberships and novel pay-per-visit plans, making fitness accessible across a wider range of budgets and life stages, boosting profit. Gym, health and fitness clubs will deepen their shift into a wellness-centric, tech-enabled ecosystem, with opportunities and challenges in equal measure. Demographic tailwinds will prove significant: as the population ages and healthcare costs climb, older adults will turn to gyms for exercise as well as holistic health management. Gyms, health and fitness centers are shifting toward integrated, medically informed offerings, blending classes with diagnostics, tracking devices and partnerships with healthcare providers. Affordability, digital convenience and privacy will be crucial considerations as gyms race to balance premium health solutions with accessibility. Gyms and fitness centers that innovate around flexibility and evidence-based care will sustain growth. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% to reach an estimated $49.1 billion by 2030.

US Tariff Impact on Market

The U.S. semiconductor track system market has faced challenges due to tariffs on semiconductor imports, which have affected both cost structures and global sourcing strategies.

With the U.S. imposing tariffs on semiconductor components, the cost of production for semiconductor track systems has increased, particularly for memory chips and fully automatic systems, leading to higher prices for U.S. consumers and manufacturers.

The tariffs on Chinese imports, especially in semiconductor manufacturing, have disrupted global supply chains, prompting many companies to consider domestic sourcing or alternative regions. This shift may encourage more local production and increase demand for domestic manufacturing of semiconductor track systems.

However, this could also lead to a rise in operational costs for companies that rely on imported parts, potentially slowing down growth in the short term but creating opportunities for U.S.-based manufacturers to increase their market share.
