This research paper focuses on advancing sustainable transportation in Mississippi through the adoption and integration of electric vehicles (EVs). It explores opportunities for state policymakers to support the growth of electric vehicles by offering incentives, expanding charging infrastructure, and promoting renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to power sustainable transport options. The study also addresses the critical need for safe disposal and recycling of electric vehicle batteries and existing fossil fuel-powered vehicles to ensure environmental sustainability. The paper provides a strategic framework for policymakers, leveraging existing federal incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and proposing additional incentives at the state level to encourage a shift towards increased adoption of electric vehicles in Mississippi.

In a bid to shore up the national defense, the role of security engineering is too important to be downplayed. Developing and implementing comprehensive security systems protects crucial infrastructure, sensitive information, and operational capabilities. This paper looks to explore the meeting point of security engineering and national defense, highlighting its contributions to cyber defense, physical security, and intelligence systems. It assesses how the rules and principles that guide security engineering are utilized to design robust architectures that can bear both traditional and unconventional threats, such as cyberattacks, terrorism, and espionage. This research paper underscores the combination of advanced technologies, including blockchain technology and artificial intelligence into security engineering frameworks to improve the detection and prevention of threats and ultimately the response. In addition, it addresses the possible challenges of balancing innovation with ethical factors and resource limitations. Through thorough analyses, this study stresses the essential role of security engineering in successfully achieving a secure and adaptive national defense ecosystem, that can respond to advancing global security dynamics.

This research explores the important role immigrants play in seeking to address escalating cybersecurity challenges within the global banking sector and their transformative contributions to the industry's revitalization. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex and pervasive, therefore, the need for diverse proficiency and innovative approaches has never been greater. Immigrants bring a wealth of technical skills, unique problem-solving capabilities, and culturally informed perspectives that play an instrumental role in the fortification of cybersecurity frameworks. (Fintech Futures, 2018; Merrill, 2024) Beyond the technical contributions they provide, their presence fosters cross-cultural collaboration, enhances global knowledge exchange, and promotes adaptability in navigating the interconnected financial landscape. This paper highlights how leveraging immigrant talent not only strengthens the sector's resilience to cyber risks but also catalyzes innovation and operational excellence. By advocating for inclusive workforce strategies, the study emphasizes the importance of maximizing immigrant contributions to secure the future of global banking and drive its evolution in an era of digital transformation.
