1 4 Rough Draft Research Paper Francisco Leon Grantham University INT460 Global Logistics Mgmt. Instructor: Mr. Gary Reinke Due Date:6/14/2022 The Homeland Security Act of 2002 set up the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which the Secretary of Homeland Security now runs. The Department tries to make the United States safer by keeping it safe from all the different threats it faces. DHS's primary goals are to fight terrorism and other security threats and to keep borders and cyberspace safe. The Department's mission is also to protect critical infrastructure, keep the economy of the United States strong and safe, improve readiness and flexibility, and help its workers and the whole Department. One of the Department's most important goals is to protect Americans from terrorism and other threats to homeland security. This is done by stopping international criminal organizations, groups, or individuals from doing terrorist or criminal acts that threaten the Homeland. The Transportation Security Administration is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Its main job is to protect a country's transportation systems and help people and businesses move around freely. TSA uses a risk-based strategy and works with people in the transportation industry, law enforcement, and the intelligence community to keep U.S. transportation systems safe. Even though airport security is the TSA's top priority, it also takes care of security issues on highways, railroads, ports, intermodal freight facilities, mass transit systems, pipelines, and other places. This paper will mainly talk about why the Transportation Security Administration should be gotten rid of, such as the fact that it is expensive and not very good at managing logistics and transportation systems in the United States. The Transportation Security Administration should be dissolved because it costs too much money. The federal agency's budget is estimated to be $7.78 billion annually, making it a pricey one (Ciaramella, 2018). Taxpayers should not have to pay billions of dollars yearly for an inefficient government agency. Even though the TSA's budget increased by 60% a few years ago, it has not made airports safer. The TSA has spent the most money on the controversial Advanced Imaging Technology devices, such as the full-body scanners, which can see through people's clothes and raise serious privacy concerns. AITs are a controversial investment because of how much they cost, how much traffic they cause at airports, and how uncertain their detection benefits are (Hawley, 2018). SPOT is another TSA project that costs money but seems to have few benefits. It has about 3,000 officers working at 160 airports to spot people who might be criminals based on things like stress signals. Even though over $1 billion has been spent on SPOT over the past 10 years, it has been found that known terrorists went through airports while TSA was running SPOT, and not a sing ...

TSA Airport Security
The document discusses the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and some of its conflicts of interest and problems. It describes how the TSA was created after 9/11 but has a conflict of interest in regulating its own passenger and baggage screening operations at airports. The TSA faces criticism for its self-regulation of screening and questionable oversight of its own screening workforce. The document also discusses challenges with clinical trial recruitment and the importance of critical thinking in various professional settings like healthcare.
Governing autonomous vehicles emerging responses for safety liability privacy...
Abstract - The benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely acknowledged, but there are concerns about the extent of these benefits and AV risks and unintended consequences. In this article, we first examine AVs and different categories of the technological risks associated with them. We then explore strategies that can be adopted to address these risks, and explore emerging responses by governments for addressing AV risks. Our analyses reveal that, thus far, governments have in most instances avoided stringent measures in order to promote AV developments and the majority of responses are non-binding and focus on creating councils or working groups to better explore AV implications. The US has been active in introducing legislations to address issues related to privacy and cybersecurity. The UK and Germany, in particular, have enacted laws to address liability issues; other countries mostly acknowledge these issues, but have yet to implement specific strategies. To address privacy and cybersecurity risks strategies ranging from introduction or amendment of non-AV specific legislation to creating working groups have been adopted. Much less attention has been paid to issues such as environmental and employment risks, although a few governments have begun programmes to retrain workers who might be negatively affected.

The Effects of Terrorism on the Travel and Tourism Industry
Our readings this week cover a wide range of topics regarding the safety of secure borders, economic impacts from perceived and real threats, enhancement of undocumented people through government programs and the effects of new technology on border control tactics. The article chosen discusses the effects that terrorism and many kinds of threats have on the travel and tourism industry. “Terrorism” has been given many different definitions, but the overall message is about the risk of violence whether it be from radical ideological groups, drug cartels, or downtrodden societies with low socioeconomic status. Ever since the attack at the Olympic Games in 1972, terrorism and acts of violence have played a role in where tourists choose to visit. Tourists studied identify as either risk neutral, functional risk, and place risk and often choose their destination based on seven types of risks: financial, social, psychological, physical, functional, situational, and travel. Very rarely are tourists targeted in the “traditional” sense of terrorism but acts of violence s ...

This week’s forum discussion is all about training and equipment.
This week’s forum discussion is all about training and equipment. In general, personal protection specialists and details exist to protect human capital. Organizations employ or contract security professionals solely for risk optimization and it is important to understand this before determining what training, skills, or equipment may be necessary to complete the mission. Without a solid understanding of the various risks and threats the client faces, it would be difficult to determine the operational needs of the detail. “Conducting security surveys with an integrated risk management approach, when done in a proactive way, can help provide more cost-effective and successful [protection] programs” (Kovacich & Halibozek, 2016). However, June lays out a few “universal” areas of necessary training in Introduction to Executive Protection which include threat assessment and risk analysis, emergency medicine, advance planning and defensive tactics, and etiquette (June, 2016). In my opinion, security details need individuals who are trained in these five core aspects of protection to be successful, regardless of the threat profile. And in-service training should reflect that. It is important to routinely train and evaluate teams and individuals to increase proficiency because training is primarily focused on “how and when to react” (p. 151).
There are also some essential skills that personal protection specialists should have to be effective. In high threat protection, we generally consider making holes and plugging holes to be the most essential, but the reality is that the greatest threat most clients face is ordinary and shared by everyone in the modern world: vehicle accidents. Driving is a critical foundational skill that all protection specialists should have. Traveling is a necessity in most industries, and it is generally understood that clients in high threat environments are at the greatest risk when moving from point A to B. And routine vehicle accidents are not the only issue. Because attacks on principle are largely functions of time and opportunity, the client is most vulnerable while underway. In general, this promotes driving at faster rates of speed to reduce time on the road, further highlighting the importance of having skilled and capable drivers on security details.
In addition to training and skill requirements, equipment is a major consideration in protective operations. The vehicle is a critical piece of equipment in protective operations (McGovern, 2011) and proper loadout is a big part of success during an incident. Typical loadouts generally include communications equipment, emergency medical supplies such as first aid kits and AEDs, and extradition equipment (APUS, 2020). Properly staging the vehicle and conducting familiarization training is equally important. For example, the Toyota LC200 has become the gold standard for protective operations worldwide and up-armored variants are used by nearly every single state, non ...
This week’s forum discussion is all about training and equipment.
The document discusses training, skills, and equipment needed for personal protection specialists. It explains that specialists need to be trained in core areas like threat assessment, emergency medicine, defensive tactics, and etiquette. Driving is also identified as a critical skill, as clients face risks while traveling. The document also recommends equipment like medical supplies and communications devices in vehicle loadouts. It stresses the importance of training with any equipment and being familiar with vehicle capabilities before transporting clients.

john,
You provided a great explanation of what the MS-ISAC does for the organizations that it supports. Cities have a daunting task of trying to comply with federal regulations and laws as it tries to secure all of the sensitive data that it stores. There are several organizations that cities can partner up with to enhance security of their networks such as Cyber Security Research Alliance (CSRA), Microsoft, MITRE, and more. These partners can assist in planning and developing networks and other smart services. By partnering up with different organizations it will allow them to combat the many threats it faces.

With such resources available it’s hard to believe cyber-attacks are continuously successful at such a high rate. Swimlane.com published shocked 2015 stats and the numbers are enormous. To name a couple, there were over $169 million personal records compromised and some companies lost and upward of $300 for every personal record lost (Cornell, 2016). I’m also curious to know what type of insurance is provided by cybersecurity companies such as MS-ISAC. If a company suffers a loss due to a cyber breach with their operation were under the monitoring and maintenance of such a company, does the company cover the cost? Something I’ll research.

Hard to believe. Really. Do you know anyone that goes against their company policies and checks their personal email or better yet has to check their Facebook page? What about someone that clicks on a link within an email from a bank they do not have an account with. All the security controls in the world will not work if users of the system can circumvent them. Sure companies and agencies can automate and lock down most things; however, they try to maintain some level of balance for their workers so they accept a certain level of risks. Remember security is a responsibility of everyone not just cyber security and IT professionals.

Heather Thesis Final
This thesis examines the U.S. visa security system and the rate of visa overstays from 2001 to present. It analyzes the system using a complex systems framework to understand how inter- and intra-agency communication impacts the overstay rate. The thesis reviews relevant literature on visa overstays, organizational design theory, and complex adaptive systems. It then outlines the elements and interconnections of the current visa security system between DHS, DOS, and other agencies. Finally, it proposes policy recommendations to reduce overstays by improving interagency coordination and developing a biometric exit system, while anticipating bureaucratic, political, and funding barriers.
The Ohio State Cyber Security Response.docx
The document discusses the convergence of cyber and physical security. It outlines three main steps to effectively achieve this convergence: 1) Create a comprehensive security strategy that includes vision, stakeholders, resources, etc. 2) Engage stakeholders early to get their input and buy-in. 3) Communicate at every level and step of the process to ensure smooth transition and lessons learned. Proper communication is key to the success of converging these two security disciplines.

In 2015 when it came to safeguarding and securing Cyberspace, the Department of Homeland Security focused on coming up with a plan that would later in time be implemented. The plan was to come up with a better way to secure the cyber space by making sure that information programs, and practices were adequate, and improving the analytical framework for intelligence systems. They also planned to review all of the procedures and responsibilities of the component cyber centers around the country, along with the information sharing and response efforts in an effort minimize inside threats (OIG 2014).
In 2016 the goals changed as it seems that since the planning was complete, it was time to implement actions and then assess whether or not they were effective or not, versus more of just planning them like the year prior. As far as other planning goes though; the Department of Homeland Security plan for the most recent year was to review the Department’s progress was moving forward I a timely manner to adopt the baseline control for the management section of IT. They also planned to evaluate how far the Department had got in the implementation of the Homeland Security Cybersecurity Assessment Act (OIG 2015).
I have studied the way that the Department of Homeland Security does a lot of their changes, and I think that it is the best way possible. They like to assess the newest implementations and even improve on them if necessary, while at the same time, planning new things for the future and even better ways to get goals completed. Prior to the last decade and a half, it was not always common to better the nation’s different securities with as much effort as we put into it in today’s day in age. I would think the reason for this would be of course the 9/11 attack, as well as the constant attacks from terrorist and hostile nations. I am personally excited to read the Annual Performance Plan for next year as I will be working for the Department and it will mean that much to me. With everything the new delegation is planning to do, you can be sure that it is possible for a turn in scope of changes.

Transportation Operations In Action
Transportation operations and ITS projects are difficult to plan for and fund continuously due to the nature of software development and communications needs. The document discusses funding opportunities through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and other federal, state, and local sources. It emphasizes having defensible plans, including cost-benefit analyses, to build ITS infrastructure and including ITS elements in ongoing transportation projects. Patience, understanding political processes, and monitoring multiple funding cycles are advised for successful long-term ITS funding.

Abstract
In order to maintain social and economic equilibrium, day-to-day operations must make use of other modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, and ferries. These intricate and interconnected transit systems need to make use of the proper technology to avoid disruptions in their operations, which would be detrimental to the inhabitants, users, data, and assets they serve. At every stage of the journey, the passengers, the crew, the equipment, and the cargo all need to be safeguarded and protected. This is because of the very complicated and frequently vast landscapes. Transportation routes, such as those found in airports and seaports, need to be routinely examined to verify that they are not only free of obstructions but also that they are operating as smoothly as possible. In addition to the risks posed by other dangers and vulnerabilities, the potential for terrorist attacks is an inherent risk at these transportation facilities; as a result, they require the necessary measures to protect what is most important. In addition to issues regarding the environment and the structure, maintaining the integrity of information technology systems is a consistent focus. In each of these situations, a comprehensive and well-thought-out security solution is necessary, even though the particular needs may vary.
Transportation Security Proposal
Introduction
One of the organizations that have successfully ensured the safety of the nation's transportation system is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The transportation business is unique in that it has an impact not only on the specifics of daily living but also on the state of the economy as a whole. When it comes to providing transportation services in a fast and effective manner, the dependability and safety of the organizations providing those services are quite necessary. The transportation industry faces a wide range of issues that get more complex as the market matures. These challenges are exacerbated by the large number of people who use transit stations and the high value of the items that are transported on ships and ferries. Transportation Security in the United States employs a variety of strategies to defend the country, some of which may be covert while others may be obvious to the general public. These strategies are implemented in varying degrees depending on the severity of the threats. This division makes use of tactics such as canine-team airport searches and randomized data collecting and analysis to accomplish its goals. In addition, it works in conjunction with the United States Federal Air Marshals and checks passenger manifests to watch lists. According to Palmer (2020), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses a variety of screening measures to ensure the safety of American citizens. These screening methods might r ...

1. Introversion
Score : 11 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).
3. Total score: 32 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
28-32 pts.
Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

However, during these same years South Korea had a 6 percent growth rate of average annual income per person, while the United States had only a 2 percent growth rate. If the saving rates were the same, why were the growth rates so different?

1. Describe the actions you will take to increase your net cash flows in the near future.
The first step is to reduce living expenditures. It is critical to lessen the amount spent on living expenses and other variables and save for future use. I will have to prevent luxuries such as vacation costs or keep them in check to avoid spending a hefty amount on them. I should check the option to cook for myself and avoid buying food. Also, I will choose a destination I can drive myself to save on rental car expenditures and airfare. I will have a detailed budget indicating the amount required for savings, debt repayment, and investment that will assist only to spend the money on essential expenditures. Further, the savings can help to start a business and become self-employed in the distant future.
I would have to look for a job that pays well or engage in a robust salary negotiation. The right time to negotiate for salary is during a performance review, compensation meeting, or job promotion (Bellon, Cookson, Gilje, & Heimer, 2020). I will ensure that I expand my education and technic ...

Integrity of any organization regardless whether it is in healthcare or business or government is paramount. Because of integrity comes trust. Having trust in a healthcare organization is nonnegotiable. It is the foundation of a world-class organization. Executives who ignore ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough legal environment (Lynn S. Paine, 1994, Managing for Organizational Integrity, pp. 2-21)
First, the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization is the head or the governing body. It is charged of day-to-day functions, establish policies, guidance, business process, safety, security and all the administrative duties. Integrity is and must be the cornerstone of any healthcare organization. Without it, no clinicians or workers that would knowingly work for an organization that they cannot trust or feel safe. And most importantly, if the patients do not have trust in the organization, they will avoid that facility at all cost.
Second, the clinicians. The clinicians are what makes the organization or facility function. Whether they are the providers, nurses or staff it is important that they have the integrity to always do what is right not only for the healthcare team or the organization, but most specially for the patient. It starts with the clinical leaders building trust to their subordinate staff by having the integrity and values of what a leader should be. Once that is established, then it permeates throughout the entire team. Thereby improving the healthcare delivery.
Lastly, and the most important is the patient. At the center of the entire system needs to be the patient. Once the patient recognizes the integrity or values of the healthcare organization and the clinicians delivering healthcare, patient trust is established. The patient satisfaction also increases. According to Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp.72, “if patients are satisfied with clinician-patient interactions, they are likely to be more compliant with their treatment plan, to understand their role in the recovery process, and to follow through with the recommended treatment”. Having integrity or values in the healthcare delivery is the basic principle of healthcare leadership.

Case Study in-class Presentations Assignment
1): Moral Courage with a Dying Patient
Mr. T. is an 82-year-old widower who has been a patient on your unit several times over the past 5 years. His CHF, COPD, and diabetes have taken a toll on his body. He now needs oxygen 24 hours a day and still has dyspnea and tachycardia at rest. On admission, his ejection fraction is less than 20%, EKG shows a QRS interval of greater than 0.13 seconds, and his functional class is IV on NYHA assessment.
He has remained symptomatic despite maximum medical management with a vasodilator and diuretics. He tells you, "This is my last trip; I am glad I have made peace with my family and God. Nurse, I am ready to die." You ask about an advance directive and he tells you his son knows that he wants no heroics, but they just have never gotten around to filling out the form. When the son arrives, you suggest that he speak with the social worker to complete the advance directive and he agrees reluctantly. You page the physician to discuss DNR status with the son. Unfortunately, Mr. T. experiences cardiac arrest before the discussion occurs and you watch helplessly as members of the Code Blue Team perform resuscitation. Mr. T. is now on a ventilator and the son has dissolved into tears with cries of, "Do not let him die!"
2): Moral Courage to Confront Bullying
Melissa started on the unit as a new graduate 5 weeks ago. She is still in orientation and has a good relationship with her preceptor. The preceptor has been assigned consistently to Melissa for most of the last 4 weeks, but due to family emergency has not been available in the last week. Melissa has been told that she will be precepted by a different nurse for the remainder of her orientation. The new preceptor has not been welcoming, supportive, or focused on the educational goals of the orientation. In fact, this new preceptor has voiced to all who will listen her feelings about the incompetence of new BSN graduates. The crisis occurs when Melissa fails to recognize a patient's confusion as a result of an adverse medication effect. The preceptor berates Melissa in the nurses' station, makes sarcastic comments in shift report abou ...

The Effects of Terrorism on the Travel and Tourism Industry
Our readings this week cover a wide range of topics regarding the safety of secure borders, economic impacts from perceived and real threats, enhancement of undocumented people through government programs and the effects of new technology on border control tactics. The article chosen discusses the effects that terrorism and many kinds of threats have on the travel and tourism industry. “Terrorism” has been given many different definitions, but the overall message is about the risk of violence whether it be from radical ideological groups, drug cartels, or downtrodden societies with low socioeconomic status. Ever since the attack at the Olympic Games in 1972, terrorism and acts of violence have played a role in where tourists choose to visit. Tourists studied identify as either risk neutral, functional risk, and place risk and often choose their destination based on seven types of risks: financial, social, psychological, physical, functional, situational, and travel. Very rarely are tourists targeted in the “traditional” sense of terrorism but acts of violence s ...

Abstract
The data revolution is at a peak in this century. In a corporate world, an information governance (IG) program plays a key role that creates a discipline by bringing people and tools together to make the data work better for the business. In a data-driven world, it’s having numerous metrics in place to measure and validate the value of data and help manage the lifecycle of t ...
This week’s forum discussion is all about training and equipment.
This week’s forum discussion is all about training and equipment. In general, personal protection specialists and details exist to protect human capital. Organizations employ or contract security professionals solely for risk optimization and it is important to understand this before determining what training, skills, or equipment may be necessary to complete the mission. Without a solid understanding of the various risks and threats the client faces, it would be difficult to determine the operational needs of the detail. “Conducting security surveys with an integrated risk management approach, when done in a proactive way, can help provide more cost-effective and successful [protection] programs” (Kovacich & Halibozek, 2016). However, June lays out a few “universal” areas of necessary training in Introduction to Executive Protection which include threat assessment and risk analysis, emergency medicine, advance planning and defensive tactics, and etiquette (June, 2016). In my opinion, security details need individuals who are trained in these five core aspects of protection to be successful, regardless of the threat profile. And in-service training should reflect that. It is important to routinely train and evaluate teams and individuals to increase proficiency because training is primarily focused on “how and when to react” (p. 151).
There are also some essential skills that personal protection specialists should have to be effective. In high threat protection, we generally consider making holes and plugging holes to be the most essential, but the reality is that the greatest threat most clients face is ordinary and shared by everyone in the modern world: vehicle accidents. Driving is a critical foundational skill that all protection specialists should have. Traveling is a necessity in most industries, and it is generally understood that clients in high threat environments are at the greatest risk when moving from point A to B. And routine vehicle accidents are not the only issue. Because attacks on principle are largely functions of time and opportunity, the client is most vulnerable while underway. In general, this promotes driving at faster rates of speed to reduce time on the road, further highlighting the importance of having skilled and capable drivers on security details.
In addition to training and skill requirements, equipment is a major consideration in protective operations. The vehicle is a critical piece of equipment in protective operations (McGovern, 2011) and proper loadout is a big part of success during an incident. Typical loadouts generally include communications equipment, emergency medical supplies such as first aid kits and AEDs, and extradition equipment (APUS, 2020). Properly staging the vehicle and conducting familiarization training is equally important. For example, the Toyota LC200 has become the gold standard for protective operations worldwide and up-armored variants are used by nearly every single state, non ...

john,
You provided a great explanation of what the MS-ISAC does for the organizations that it supports. Cities have a daunting task of trying to comply with federal regulations and laws as it tries to secure all of the sensitive data that it stores. There are several organizations that cities can partner up with to enhance security of their networks such as Cyber Security Research Alliance (CSRA), Microsoft, MITRE, and more. These partners can assist in planning and developing networks and other smart services. By partnering up with different organizations it will allow them to combat the many threats it faces.

With such resources available it’s hard to believe cyber-attacks are continuously successful at such a high rate. Swimlane.com published shocked 2015 stats and the numbers are enormous. To name a couple, there were over $169 million personal records compromised and some companies lost and upward of $300 for every personal record lost (Cornell, 2016). I’m also curious to know what type of insurance is provided by cybersecurity companies such as MS-ISAC. If a company suffers a loss due to a cyber breach with their operation were under the monitoring and maintenance of such a company, does the company cover the cost? Something I’ll research.

Hard to believe. Really. Do you know anyone that goes against their company policies and checks their personal email or better yet has to check their Facebook page? What about someone that clicks on a link within an email from a bank they do not have an account with. All the security controls in the world will not work if users of the system can circumvent them. Sure companies and agencies can automate and lock down most things; however, they try to maintain some level of balance for their workers so they accept a certain level of risks. Remember security is a responsibility of everyone not just cyber security and IT professionals.

Heather Thesis Final
This thesis examines the U.S. visa security system and the rate of visa overstays from 2001 to present. It analyzes the system using a complex systems framework to understand how inter- and intra-agency communication impacts the overstay rate. The thesis reviews relevant literature on visa overstays, organizational design theory, and complex adaptive systems. It then outlines the elements and interconnections of the current visa security system between DHS, DOS, and other agencies. Finally, it proposes policy recommendations to reduce overstays by improving interagency coordination and developing a biometric exit system, while anticipating bureaucratic, political, and funding barriers.

The document discusses the convergence of cyber and physical security. It outlines three main steps to effectively achieve this convergence: 1) Create a comprehensive security strategy that includes vision, stakeholders, resources, etc. 2) Engage stakeholders early to get their input and buy-in. 3) Communicate at every level and step of the process to ensure smooth transition and lessons learned. Proper communication is key to the success of converging these two security disciplines.

In 2015 when it came to safeguarding and securing Cyberspace, the Department of Homeland Security focused on coming up with a plan that would later in time be implemented. The plan was to come up with a better way to secure the cyber space by making sure that information programs, and practices were adequate, and improving the analytical framework for intelligence systems. They also planned to review all of the procedures and responsibilities of the component cyber centers around the country, along with the information sharing and response efforts in an effort minimize inside threats (OIG 2014).
In 2016 the goals changed as it seems that since the planning was complete, it was time to implement actions and then assess whether or not they were effective or not, versus more of just planning them like the year prior. As far as other planning goes though; the Department of Homeland Security plan for the most recent year was to review the Department’s progress was moving forward I a timely manner to adopt the baseline control for the management section of IT. They also planned to evaluate how far the Department had got in the implementation of the Homeland Security Cybersecurity Assessment Act (OIG 2015).
I have studied the way that the Department of Homeland Security does a lot of their changes, and I think that it is the best way possible. They like to assess the newest implementations and even improve on them if necessary, while at the same time, planning new things for the future and even better ways to get goals completed. Prior to the last decade and a half, it was not always common to better the nation’s different securities with as much effort as we put into it in today’s day in age. I would think the reason for this would be of course the 9/11 attack, as well as the constant attacks from terrorist and hostile nations. I am personally excited to read the Annual Performance Plan for next year as I will be working for the Department and it will mean that much to me. With everything the new delegation is planning to do, you can be sure that it is possible for a turn in scope of changes.

Transportation Operations In Action
Transportation operations and ITS projects are difficult to plan for and fund continuously due to the nature of software development and communications needs. The document discusses funding opportunities through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and other federal, state, and local sources. It emphasizes having defensible plans, including cost-benefit analyses, to build ITS infrastructure and including ITS elements in ongoing transportation projects. Patience, understanding political processes, and monitoring multiple funding cycles are advised for successful long-term ITS funding.

Abstract
In order to maintain social and economic equilibrium, day-to-day operations must make use of other modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, and ferries. These intricate and interconnected transit systems need to make use of the proper technology to avoid disruptions in their operations, which would be detrimental to the inhabitants, users, data, and assets they serve. At every stage of the journey, the passengers, the crew, the equipment, and the cargo all need to be safeguarded and protected. This is because of the very complicated and frequently vast landscapes. Transportation routes, such as those found in airports and seaports, need to be routinely examined to verify that they are not only free of obstructions but also that they are operating as smoothly as possible. In addition to the risks posed by other dangers and vulnerabilities, the potential for terrorist attacks is an inherent risk at these transportation facilities; as a result, they require the necessary measures to protect what is most important. In addition to issues regarding the environment and the structure, maintaining the integrity of information technology systems is a consistent focus. In each of these situations, a comprehensive and well-thought-out security solution is necessary, even though the particular needs may vary.
Transportation Security Proposal
Introduction
One of the organizations that have successfully ensured the safety of the nation's transportation system is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The transportation business is unique in that it has an impact not only on the specifics of daily living but also on the state of the economy as a whole. When it comes to providing transportation services in a fast and effective manner, the dependability and safety of the organizations providing those services are quite necessary. The transportation industry faces a wide range of issues that get more complex as the market matures. These challenges are exacerbated by the large number of people who use transit stations and the high value of the items that are transported on ships and ferries. Transportation Security in the United States employs a variety of strategies to defend the country, some of which may be covert while others may be obvious to the general public. These strategies are implemented in varying degrees depending on the severity of the threats. This division makes use of tactics such as canine-team airport searches and randomized data collecting and analysis to accomplish its goals. In addition, it works in conjunction with the United States Federal Air Marshals and checks passenger manifests to watch lists. According to Palmer (2020), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses a variety of screening measures to ensure the safety of American citizens. These screening methods might r ...

Score : 11 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Some people thrive in teleworking arrangements, whereas others discover that it is neither a satisfying nor productive work environment for them. This scale assesses three personal dispositions that are identified in the literature as characteristics of effective teleworkers: (a) high company alignment, (b) low social needs at work and (c) independent initiative.
Company alignment
Company alignment estimates the extent to which you follow company procedures and have values congruent with company values. The greater the alignment, the more likely that you can abide by company practices while working alone and with direct supervision. While some deviation from company practices may be appropriate, teleworkers need to agree with company values and provide work that is consistent with company expectations most of the time. Scores on this scale range from 4 to 20.
Extroversion
Score: 17 pts.
4 - 22 pts.
Feedback: Low individualism
Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self-sufficiency, control over their own lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others.
However, keep in mind that the average level of individualism is higher in some cultures (such as Australia) than in others.
2. Total score: 8 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
6-12 pts.
Feedback: Low work centrality
People with high work centrality define themselves mainly by their work roles and view non-work roles as much less significant. Consequently, people with a high work centrality score likely have lower complexity in their self-concept. This can be a concern because if something goes wrong with their work role, their non-work roles are not of sufficient value to maintain a positive self-evaluation. At the same time, work dominates our work lives, so those with very low scores would be more of the exception than the rule in most societies. Scores range from 6 to 36 with higher scores indicating higher work centrality. The norms in the following table are based on a large sample of Canadian employees (average score was 20.7). However, work centrality norms vary from one group to the next. For example, the average score in a sample of Canadian nurses was around 17 (translated to the scale range used here).
3. Total score: 32 pts.
RANGE BASED FEEDBACK:
28-32 pts.
Feedback: High need for social approval
The need for social approval scale estimates the extent to which you are motivated to seek favourable evaluation from others. Founded on the drive to bond, the need for social approval is a secondary need, because people vary in this need based on their self-concept, values, personality and possibly social norms. This scale ranges from 0 to 32. How high or low is your need for social approval? The ideal would be to compare your score with the collective results of other students in your class. Otherwi ...

The first step is to reduce living expenditures. It is critical to lessen the amount spent on living expenses and other variables and save for future use. I will have to prevent luxuries such as vacation costs or keep them in check to avoid spending a hefty amount on them. I should check the option to cook for myself and avoid buying food. Also, I will choose a destination I can drive myself to save on rental car expenditures and airfare. I will have a detailed budget indicating the amount required for savings, debt repayment, and investment that will assist only to spend the money on essential expenditures. Further, the savings can help to start a business and become self-employed in the distant future.

Integrity of any organization regardless whether it is in healthcare or business or government is paramount. Because of integrity comes trust. Having trust in a healthcare organization is nonnegotiable. It is the foundation of a world-class organization. Executives who ignore ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough legal environment (Lynn S. Paine, 1994, Managing for Organizational Integrity, pp. 2-21)
First, the healthcare organization. The healthcare organization is the head or the governing body. It is charged of day-to-day functions, establish policies, guidance, business process, safety, security and all the administrative duties. Integrity is and must be the cornerstone of any healthcare organization. Without it, no clinicians or workers that would knowingly work for an organization that they cannot trust or feel safe. And most importantly, if the patients do not have trust in the organization, they will avoid that facility at all cost.
Second, the clinicians. The clinicians are what makes the organization or facility function. Whether they are the providers, nurses or staff it is important that they have the integrity to always do what is right not only for the healthcare team or the organization, but most specially for the patient. It starts with the clinical leaders building trust to their subordinate staff by having the integrity and values of what a leader should be. Once that is established, then it permeates throughout the entire team. Thereby improving the healthcare delivery.
Lastly, and the most important is the patient. At the center of the entire system needs to be the patient. Once the patient recognizes the integrity or values of the healthcare organization and the clinicians delivering healthcare, patient trust is established. The patient satisfaction also increases. According to Cowing, Davino-Ramaya, Ramaya, Szmerekovsky, 2009, pp.72, “if patients are satisfied with clinician-patient interactions, they are likely to be more compliant with their treatment plan, to understand their role in the recovery process, and to follow through with the recommended treatment”. Having integrity or values in the healthcare delivery is the basic principle of healthcare leadership.

Case Study in-class Presentations Assignment
1): Moral Courage with a Dying Patient
Mr. T. is an 82-year-old widower who has been a patient on your unit several times over the past 5 years. His CHF, COPD, and diabetes have taken a toll on his body. He now needs oxygen 24 hours a day and still has dyspnea and tachycardia at rest. On admission, his ejection fraction is less than 20%, EKG shows a QRS interval of greater than 0.13 seconds, and his functional class is IV on NYHA assessment.
He has remained symptomatic despite maximum medical management with a vasodilator and diuretics. He tells you, "This is my last trip; I am glad I have made peace with my family and God. Nurse, I am ready to die." You ask about an advance directive and he tells you his son knows that he wants no heroics, but they just have never gotten around to filling out the form. When the son arrives, you suggest that he speak with the social worker to complete the advance directive and he agrees reluctantly. You page the physician to discuss DNR status with the son. Unfortunately, Mr. T. experiences cardiac arrest before the discussion occurs and you watch helplessly as members of the Code Blue Team perform resuscitation. Mr. T. is now on a ventilator and the son has dissolved into tears with cries of, "Do not let him die!"
2): Moral Courage to Confront Bullying
Melissa started on the unit as a new graduate 5 weeks ago. She is still in orientation and has a good relationship with her preceptor. The preceptor has been assigned consistently to Melissa for most of the last 4 weeks, but due to family emergency has not been available in the last week. Melissa has been told that she will be precepted by a different nurse for the remainder of her orientation. The new preceptor has not been welcoming, supportive, or focused on the educational goals of the orientation. In fact, this new preceptor has voiced to all who will listen her feelings about the incompetence of new BSN graduates. The crisis occurs when Melissa fails to recognize a patient's confusion as a result of an adverse medication effect.

1. I believe that the protagonist is Nel because she is the one that goes through different changes throughout the book. I also think she is the protagonist because most people can relate to her more. Nel was done wrong by Sula and her husband Jude Green. Sula did the one thing that a best friend should never do and, that is sleep with your best friend's husband. Even though Sula did a terrible thing Nel still cares about her best friend because she goes and visits her when she is sick even after all the pain she caused her. Nel is also deeply saddened when she visits Sulas grave. That is not the only thing that happened to Nel. Nel not only had to deal with the affair but also accepted her guilt in Chicken Little's drowning. But in the end, Nel realized she enjoyed watching him drown.
Everything changed when Sula came back to Nels life. Nel was happy before. She was happy with her family and her husband, but when Sula came back that all changed. After the affair and Sulas death, Nel was alone. Nel became a single mother and, she no longer has a good relationship with another man.
2. I believe that although the title of the story is Sula, the main protaginist of the story is Nel. Nel is kept until the end of the story and Sulay passes away and exit's the story. I think in this pivitol moment is when the author wanted to make Nel the main character. Nel contained her emotion until towards the end of the story when she has a conversation with Eva, Nel nervously comments "Who told you all these lies? Miss Peace? Who told you? Why are you telling lies on me?" I believe the author wanted us to feel the anxiousness and wonder that Nel found out that somebody finally knew about the little boy being thrown. I believe this admission of guilt to Eva brings closure to Nel. Nel was trying to hide her emotions the entire time and it wasn't after being confronted that she broke down about it and visited Sulay's grave. Nel even stated "I don't know. No." when asked whether somebody saw the boy being thrown into the river. This shows that Nel was not sure at all in the moment it happened whether somebody knew. Nel wanted to not think about what happen forever and try to mute the situation but Eva bringing it up, made Nel feel terrible about what happened which is why she ended up visting Sulay's grave. I think muting herself from knowing the little boy was thrown was still not a 'good' way to look at it, from her end. She wanted to believe a lie by just pretending it never happened. It wasn't after someone brought up the situation to her that her feelings change.
3. Although the novel is titled Sula, the real protagonist is Nel because she is the one who is transformed by the end. Sula and Nel were very great friends and were very dedicated to each other. But they were also very different. Nel was known as the more mature and "good person" while Sula is more impulsive. "Nel is the product of a family that believes deeply in social conventions, hers is a st ...

1. Team teaching
In team teaching, both teachers are in the room at the same time but take turns teaching the whole class. Team teaching is sometimes called “tag team teaching.” You and your co-teacher teacher are a bit like co-presenters at a conference or the Oscars. You don’t necessarily plan who takes which part of the lesson, and when one of you makes a point, the other can jump in and elaborate if needed.
Team teaching can make you feel vulnerable. It asks you to step outside of your comfort zone and allow another teacher to see how you approach a classroom full of students. However, it also gives you the opportunity to learn about and improve your teaching skills by having a partner who can provide feedback and — in some cases — mentorship.
In team teaching, as well as the five other co-teaching models below, a teacher team may be made up of two general education teachers, two special education teachers, or one of each. Or, in some cases, it may be a teacher and a paraprofessional working together. Some IEPs specify that a student’s teaching team needs to include a general education teacher and a special education teacher.
Here’s what you need to know about the team teaching method:
What it looks like in the classroom
Both teachers teach at the front of the room and move about to check in with students (as needed).
Benefits
· Provides both teachers with an active instructional role
· Introduces students to complementary teaching styles and personalities
· Allows for lessons to be presented by two different people with different teaching styles
· Models multiple ways of presenting and engaging with information
· Models for students what a successful collaborative working relationship can look like
· Provides more opportunities to pursue teachable moments that may arise
Challenges
· Takes time and trust for teachers to build a working relationship that values each teacher equally in the classroom
· Necessitates a lot of planning time and coordination of schedules
· Requires teachers to have equal involvement not just in planning, but also in grading, which means assignments need to be evaluated ...

2. The next day a representative from Bristol Myers Squibb visits your office and tells you that Plavix® (clopidogrel) decreases cardiovascular events by 8.7% compared to aspirin. That sure sounds good to you, as you have many elderly patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes and many are already on aspirin. The brochure quotes the CAPRIE study, and you decide to investigate this further. A review of the 1996 article reveals that study patients on Plavix® experienced cardiovascular events 9.78% of the time compared to 10.64% of the time with aspirin. Plavix® was approved by the FDA based on this one study. Cost of Plavix/day=$6.50. Cost of aspirin/day = $1.33

1. Find something to negotiate in your personal or professional life. Examples include: redistribution of household chores, a personal or professional purchase, a contract at work, asking for a raise, booking a vacation, hiring a contractor, etc. The deal does not have to be implemented for the purposes of this class (e.g. you can finalize the price for something you’re thinking of buying without following through on the purchase right now). The scenario you choose should be significant enough to allow you to do substantial research and detail for your paper. Submit a five page paper (minimum), double spaces, utilizing proper grammar and spelling, which summarizes the following:
1. Your Preparation – Describe the process you used and results of your preparation. You should also discuss your strategies, targets, and negotiating plan. Make sure you do your research, working on both your BATNA and the other party’s. (Consider newspapers, bookstores, libraries, the internet, and personal calls and visits as possible sources of information). This is the most important step, so being thorough is critical.
1. The Negotiating Process – Describe what happened in the negotiation itself. List he sequence of events and how you reacted/adjusted to the other party’s position. What was the negotiation style of the other party? What “tricks” did they try? How did you react? Were there any other influencing factors (e.g. cultural differences, misperceptions, emotion, etc.)?
1. The Outcome – What was the outcome and how did you feel about it? What worked well? What would you have done differently? Do you feel the result you arrived at was better than it would have been if you hadn’t taken the class? Why/Why not?
Your understanding of the appropriate preparation and process steps to take in negotiating this deal is more important than the final outcome.
Be sure to cite your sources, and include copies of necessary quotes/documentation.

1. FAMILYMy 57 year old mother died after a short illness
1. FAMILY
My 57 year old mother died after a short illness last June. She was a wonderful mother and my 66 year old father
adored her. They had been married for 38 years. He is finding it extremely difficult to cope without her. To make
matters worse, he retired just two months before she died and is at a loss to fill his days.
He is disorganized and has not established any pattern in his life. I invite him for meals and outings, but he is
detached and depressed. He doesn’t seem to be part of the world any more. I am terribly worried about him. How
long will he be like this? I am 34 and have small children. I thought being with the children would help him, but it’s
as though he doesn’t see or know them. He just sits and stares into space for much of the day. He seems locked
into his grief.
2. FAMILY
One of our 17 year old son’s best friends took his life several months ago. Our son didn’t say much at the time, but
he was very shaken. Since then he has gradually “retired” into himself. He stays in his room most of the time
listening to rock music.
He is unemployed and no longer sees his former schoolmates. We are very worried about him. How do we get him
out of himself? He has always been a quiet guy but his present behavior is beyond “quiet.” We have two other
children, girls aged 13 and 10, but our son now just ignores them.
3. FAMILY - rural
Ken is a 67 year old farmer who lives with his wife Margaret. Ken and Margaret had hoped to retire late in their 60s
and move to the west coast to be closer to their children, reluctantly selling the family property that has been
struggling financially. They have limited investment funds set aside to support their retirement and have been told
it is unlikely that they would be successful in selling their farm. Ken also suffers chronic back pain from a previous
farm injury. A neighbor has become concerned about Ken’s ability to cope with his property, and has visited Ken
and Margaret a number of times due to problems with his stock and pasture management. Margaret believes the
farm is “too much for them now,” but feels she can’t talk to Ken about this. Ken has become withdrawn and
refuses to discuss the issue. He talks about there being “no way out of this,” and that it “might as well be over.” He
sees his physician infrequently, having difficulty traveling the 60 miles to the nearby town.
4. FAMILY - rural
Jason is 34 years old and lives with his wife Jenny and their two children (8 and 3 years old). After completing a

farm, and they are struggling to manage financially.
Jason is drinking heavily, mostly at home, but still drives his car into town. Jenny is angry and worried about this.
She is feeling isolated, having few friends in the area, and relying on Jas ...

Case 20 Restructuring
General Electric
The appointment of Larry Culp as the chairman and CEO of the General Electric
Company (GE) on October 1st, 2018 was a clear indication of the seriousness of the
problems that had engulfed the company. Culp, the former CEO of the highly-successful
conglomerate, Danaher Corporation, had been appointed a GE director only six months
previously and was the first outsider to lead GE—every one of GE’s previous CEOs had
been a career manager at the company. On the same day as Culp’s appointment, GE
abandoned its earning guidance for the year and announced a $23 billion accounting
charge arising from a write-down of goodwill at its troubled electrical power division.1
Culp’s predecessor, John Flannery had been CEO for a mere 14 months—a sharp
contrast to GE’s two previous CEOs: Jeff Immelt (16 years) and Jack Welch (20 years).
Flannery’s tenure at GE has coincided with of the company’s most difficult periods in its
entire 126-year history. In November 2017, amidst deteriorating financial performance,
Flannery announced a halving of GE’s quarterly dividend, the proposed sale of its
lighting and locomotive units—two of GE’s oldest businesses—and the elimination of
12,000 jobs in the power division.
In 2018, the situation worsened. In January, GE announced that it would be paying
$15 bn. to cover liabilities at insurance companies it had sold 12 years previously. In
February, GE confirmed suspicions over its dubious accounting practices by restating its
revenues and earnings for the previous two years, while also announcing the likelihood
of legal claims arising from its its subprime mortgage lending over a decade earlier.
The outcome was a precipitous fall in GE’s share price (see Figure 1) that culminated
in GE’s dismissal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Until June 2018, GE
was the sole surviving member of the DJIA when it was created in 1896.
The crisis at GE presented the board with two central questions. First, should GE
be broken up? Second, if GE was to continue as a widely-diversified company, how
should it be managed?
As a diversified corporation that extended from jet engines, to oil and gas equipment,
to healthcare products, to financial services, GE was an anomaly. For three decades, con-
glomerates—diversified companies comprising unrelated or loosely related businesses—
had been deeply unfashionable. CEOs, Jack Welch and Jeff Immelt, had claimed that,
by virtue of its integrated m ...

Body Ritual among the Nacirema
H O R A C E M I N E R
University of Michigan
HE anthropologist has become so familiar with the diversity of ways iq T which different peoples behave in similar situations that he is not a p t to.
be surprised by even the most exotic customs. I n fact, if all of thelogically
possible combinations of behavior have not been found somewhere in the
world, he is a p t to suspect that they must be present in some yet undescribed
tribe. This point has, in fact, been expressed with respect to clan organization
by Murdock (1949: 7 1 ) . I n this light, the magical beliefs and practices of the
Nacirema present such unusual aspects that i t seems desirable t o describe
them a s an example of the extremes to which human behavior can go.
Professor Linton first brought the ritual of the Nacirema to the attention
of anthropologists twenty years ago (1936:326), but the culture of this people
is still very poorly understood. They are a North American group living in the
territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Tarahumare of Mexico,
and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles. Little is known of their origin, al-
though tradition states that they came from the east. According to Nacirema
mythology, their nation was originated by a culture hero, Notgnihsaw, who is
otherwise known for two great feats of strength-the throwing of a piece of
wampum across the river Pa-To-Mac and the chopping down of a cherry tree
in which the Spirit of Truth resided.
Nacirema culture is characterized by a highly developed market economy
which has evolved in a rich natural habitat. While much of the people’s time
is devoted to economic pursuits, a large part of the fruits of these labors and a
considerable portion of the day are spent in ritual activity. The focus of this
activity is the human body, the appearance and health of which loom a s a
dominant concern in the ethos of the people. While such a concern is certainly
not unusual, its ceremonial aspects and associated philosophy are unique.
The fundamental belief underlying the whole system appears to be that the
human body is ugly and that its natural tendency is t o debility and disease.
Incarcerated in such a body, man’s only hope is to avert these characteristics
through the use of the powerful influences of ritual and ceremony. Every house-
hold has one or more shrines devoted to this purpose. The more powerful in-
dividuals in the society have several shrines in their houses and, in fact, the
opulence of a house is often referred to in terms of the num ...

6. How would you define ethical convergence? What are the four basic reasons for ethical convergence? Which might be the most difficult for multinational companies to follow, and why?
7. Describe the four major world religions. What are the impacts of each religion type on an economic environment? What do you think makes religion a concern in societies?
8. If you were a multinational manager, and you encountered an ethical dilemma within the multinational company, what heuristic questions would you use to decide between ethical relativism and ethical universalism?

Week Two Instructor’s Notes
PHIL 1103 Summer
This week you will be learning in detail about the four different moral perspectives that
we will use to analyze moral questions.
Notice two things right at the start. First, because normative ethics is our main focus this
term, we are not going to attempt to settle the question of whether any moral perspective at all
could be correct or known to be correct—that is a task for metaethics. Our task in this second
week is to learn in some detail about four different kinds of consideration or value that often
seem relevant when we try to decide what is morally right or wrong in particular cases, namely:
(1) Respect for the rights and autonomy of the persons involved
(2) Increasing the overall well-being of the most individuals possible
(3) Asking wha ...

Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1 4Rough Draft Research PaperFrancisco Leo
- 1. 1 4 Rough Draft Research Paper Francisco Leon Grantham University INT460 Global Logistics Mgmt. Instructor: Mr. Gary Reinke Due Date:6/14/2022 The Homeland Security Act of 2002 set up the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which the Secretary of Homeland Security now runs. The Department tries to make the United States safer by keeping it safe from all the different threats it faces. DHS's primary goals are to fight terrorism and other security threats and to keep borders and cyberspace safe. The
- 2. Department's mission is also to protect critical infrastructure, keep the economy of the United States strong and safe, improve readiness and flexibility, and help its workers and the whole Department. One of the Department's most important goals is to protect Americans from terrorism and other threats to homeland security. This is done by stopping international criminal organizations, groups, or individuals from doing terrorist or criminal acts that threaten the Homeland. The Transportation Security Administration is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Its main job is to protect a country's transportation systems and help people and businesses move around freely. TSA uses a risk-based strategy and works with people in the transportation industry, law enforcement, and the intelligence community to keep U.S. transportation systems safe. Even though airport security is the TSA's top priority, it also takes care of security issues on highways, railroads, ports, intermodal freight facilities, mass transit systems, pipelines, and other places. This paper will mainly talk about why the Transportation Security Administration should be gotten rid of, such as the fact that it is expensive and not very good at managing logistics and transportation systems in the United States. The Transportation Security Administration should be dissolved because it costs too much money. The federal agency's budget is estimated to be $7.78 billion annually, making it a pricey one (Ciaramella, 2018). Taxpayers should not have to pay billions of dollars yearly for an inefficient government agency. Even though the TSA's budget increased by 60% a few years ago, it has not made airports safer. The TSA has spent the most money on the controversial Advanced Imaging Technology devices, such as the full-body scanners, which can see through people's clothes and raise serious privacy concerns. AITs are a controversial investment because of how much they cost, how much traffic they cause at airports, and how uncertain their detection benefits are (Hawley, 2018).
- 3. SPOT is another TSA project that costs money but seems to have few benefits. It has about 3,000 officers working at 160 airports to spot people who might be criminals based on things like stress signals. Even though over $1 billion has been spent on SPOT over the past 10 years, it has been found that known terrorists went through airports while TSA was running SPOT, and not a single terrorist was caught. Also, the cost of the Federal Air Marshal Service has gone up from $486 million to about $942 million and setting aside first-class seats for the air marshals costs airlines an extra $220 million per year. The Transportation Security Administration is also very slow, making it hard for the agency to make transportation systems more secure (Smith, 2020). When the TSA oversees airport security, many people complain about how long it takes to get through the security checkpoint. Some people miss their flights because it takes too long for the TSA to finish its annoying procedures. For example, airport checks seem to take a long time, which causes delays that make people unhappy and cause businesses to lose money (Vasel, 2016). Millions of people go through TSA checkpoints every day, which makes for long lines, especially when traveling for the holidays. Even with new technologies like millimeter-wave imaging and CT scanners, airport security has not changed much. The Transportation Security Administration should also be dissolved because it does not do its job well. Research has shown that the TSA does not always keep Americans safe because it works (Lowe, 2016). This federal agency has no reason to improve its screening procedures because it has not caught a single terrorist since it was created. After almost a decade, setting up the TSA and making airport screenings part of the federal government were both big mistakes for the country. Auditors have found that the TSA's screening is not any better than private screening and may even be worse. The TSA has continued to get a bad name because of how it is run,
- 4. its investments, and security mistakes. There had been several alarming screening failures, like when screeners in Los Angeles and Chicago missed 60–70% of fake bombs in testing in 2006. Even though the TSA spent much money and caused much trouble for passengers, there were nearly 25,000 security breaches at U.S. airports in its first few years. In recent years, the safety of travelers may have had less to do with how well TSA airport screeners did their jobs and more to do with the lack of terrorists in the United States and different security measures in aviation. In conclusion, the Transportation Security Administration should be disbanded because it is costly, prolonged, and highly ineffective in the logistics and management of transportation systems in the United States. To keep airports safe and make them safer, every airline company should take responsibility and follow safety rules while taking care of their customers. Airlines should do regular security audits, watch security videotapes, do a mobile patrol, improve screening lanes, hire trained staff, and add pre-security checkpoints.
