A nuclear stress test will take much longer on the order of a few hours because of the imaging before and after that needs to occur. I suggest that you give your primary care physician or cardiologist a call and ask first what type of stress test you have having.
Achieved status is a concept developed by the anthropologist Ralph Linton denoting a social position that a person can acquire on the basis of merit; it is a position that is earned or chosen. It is the opposite of ascribed status. It reflects personal skills, abilities, and efforts.
An ascribed status is a position that one holds in a society that is obtained involuntarily or by merely being born. Mike's ascribed statuses include being born to wealthy parents and being born a male. Mike did not choose to be male, American, or have rich parents; all three were products of his birth.
