Also, address the rationale for government sponsored scientific research, and make an argument for where scientific innovation is strongest: governmental, private, commercial, or educational institutions.Included in your analysis will be at least 3 peer reviewed or scholarly sources that help you assess the significance of the institution and its history. Here are some approved government institutions that are considered the top 25 in the world.

Module 2 – CasePROTECTING U.S. SKIES AND AIRPORTS: THREATS, ISSUES, AND MEASURES OF PROTECTION EFFECTIVENESSAssignment OverviewA few years ago, … I traveled to Israel … through Ben Gurion, as pristine, clean, empty, and beautiful an airport as I’ve ever been in. There were no lines anywhere and sightlines everywhere … . Indeed, before you step into the airport, you’ve already been scrutinized by Israeli security agents monitoring all approaching automobiles and entry doors. (Lowrey, 2010, para. 1)The Israeli method of surveillance is not as intrusive as at U.S. airports, yet more thorough in screening passengers. Rather than removing shoes, belts, and other articles, passengers are politely asked a series of questions out of earshot from others. Travelers feel protected from potential terrorist strikes because of the high quality of surveillance.Case AssignmentBegin by reading:Haaretz, & Reuters. (2017, October 26). U.S. airport security is becoming a bit more Israeli today: Here’s what you need to know. Retrieved from https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/u-s-airport-security-rules-are-changing-today-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-1.5460568Lowrey, A. (2010, January 8). Foreign policy: The costs of Israel level security [Opinion]. NPR. Retrieved from https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122352039Using assigned readings and your own research, point out at least two Israeli methods of screening and surveillance that you find essential at American airports.

Module 2 – CaseTHE THREAT OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC TERRORISMAssignment OverviewThe Threat of Domestic or “Homegrown” TerrorismA major terrorist attack conducted by a U.S. citizen against the Homeland was the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK, on April 19, 1995. Watch Oklahoma City Bombing Animation to see the bombing in action (this silent video is over 2 minutes).This attack, perpetrated by U.S. Army veteran Timothy McVeigh, killed 168 persons, injured more than 680, and caused the destruction of the Federal Building and destroyed or damaged more buildings. The financial impact of the bombing itself has been estimated to be at least $652 million.In the days and months that followed, numerous investigations sought to determine who perpetrated the attack and if McVeigh has any links to domestic and/or foreign terrorist groups.Other investigations examined how McVeigh was able to build the massive bomb used in the attack, to include the materials used, and how he was able to obtain them without alerting authorities. These questions have largely been answered and today there is a great deal of publicly available information that makes it possible to understand this act of domestic terrorism and its impact on Homeland Security.Case AssignmentIn this Case, your task is to:Define the methods used by Timothy McVeigh to conduct his attacks, the results of the bombing, his motivation(s), and how he was able to conduct his attack against the Murrah Federal Building without detection by the FBI or other domestic law enforcement organizations.From your reading, How Government Agencies Fight Terrorism (2017), briefly discuss which federal agencies are most directly responsible for ensuring that such a domestic terrorism attack does not occur in the future. Remember to include more than one source in your References.Assignment ExpectationsAssignments should be at least 3 full pages double-spaced, not counting the cover or reference page. Paper format: (a) Cover page, (b) Header, (c) Body. Submit your assignment by the last day of this module.Properly cite the quotations that you use to support your statements.

Please write a comprehensive treatment plan for Mary. Please use the model I provided on blackboard earlier in the semester. Case Study 1. Mary is a s A 29-year old married, mother of a young child age 2, presented with a history of recurrent and disabling depression and headaches. Several weeks prior to presentation, she became severely depressed and had difficulty moving, had diminished appetite, had crying spells much of the day and felt suicidal. At the time she presented, she was on Prozac 20 mg a day, and described herself as getting “manicky” on the Prozac. By this, she meant that she was “rushing around, laughing a lot and having more anxiety.” A past trial with Wellbutrin was poorly tolerated because of sweating episodes, insomnia and agitation. Her depression was worsening despite the Prozac treatment. There was a past history of concussion at age 18, when she suffered loss of consciousness. She also described a history of mood swings for many years. There was also a history of alcohol abuse when she was a teenager. Family history revealed severe mood swings in both her father and paternal grandmother.
