Analyzing the Modern World Evolution and Trends Shaping Our Future: Dr. Stephenson(PhD)

The modern world is characterized by rapid changes and developments driven by technological advancements, demographic shifts, and evolving socio-economic landscapes. This analysis explores key trends shaping our future, focusing on technological innovations, sustainability, demographic changes, health and well-being, economic and workforce transformations, and social and cultural trends.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries by automating tasks, analyzing data, and enhancing user experiences. AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics are transforming healthcare, finance, and manufacturing sectors (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014).

The rollout of 5G and Connectivity technology is set to revolutionize digital connectivity, enabling faster internet sp*eds, enhanced communication, and the development of smart cities (Rao, Prasad, & Prasad, 2018). This advancement unlocks new economic activities and transforms industries such as healthcare, transportation, and retail.

Quantum computing is progressing rapidly, promising to solve complex problems currently intractable for classical computers. This technology has the potential to revolutionize fields such as cryptography, material science, and pharmaceuticals (Arute et al., 2019).

The transition to renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, is accelerating due to global initiatives like the Paris Agreement. This shift aims to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change (IRENA, 2020).

Innovations in recycling and waste reduction are promoting a circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled to minimize environmental impact. This approach addresses issues of resource depletion and environmental degradation (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015).

Technologies aimed at mitigating climate change, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), are gaining traction. These innovations help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to global sustainability efforts (IEA, 2021).

In many countries that are experiencing aging populations, leading to changes in healthcare, pensions, and workforce dynamics. This demographic shift requires innovative solutions to address the needs of older adults and ensure economic stability (World Bank, 2015).

Rapid urbanization is driving the development of smart, sustainable cities with advanced infrastructure and green technologies. Urban planning and sustainable development are crucial to accommodate growing urban populations (United Nations, 2018).

The use of telemedicine is expanding, providing remote healthcare services and improving access to medical care. Telemedicine addresses challenges of healthcare accessibility, especially in rural and underserved areas (Bashshur, Shannon, & Smith, 2014).

There is a growing emphasis on mental health, with more resources and support systems being developed to address mental health issues. This trend highlights the importance of holistic health and well-being (WHO, 2019).

The shift to remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is reshaping traditional workplaces and work-life balance. Remote work offers flexibility but also presents challenges such as maintaining productivity and fostering team collaboration (Bloom et al., 2021).

The gig economy is growing, with more people engaging in freelance and contract work. This trend offers opportunities for flexible employment but also raises concerns about job security and benefits (Katz & Krueger, 2016).

Increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is transforming workplaces and society. Digital literacy is becoming essential as technology becomes more integrated into daily life, influencing how people communicate and access information (OECD, 2019).

HOW TO USE URINE AS FERTILIZER IN YOUR GARDEN FOR GOOD YIELD DURING THIS TIME OF COVID-19

(Prepared by: Stephenson (Lab. scientist and Educationalist; PhD fellow and Director at Vel-ReCo, Africa)

1. When we eat food, our kidneys filter out excess nutrients that our body is unable to use, and these nutrients are then expelled from the body in our urine. Our urine contains significant levels of nitrogen, as well as phosphorous and potassium. The relative ratios are typically around 11 parts nitrogen to 1 part phosphorus to 2.5 parts potassium.

2. The high nitrogen levels in urine are favorable for plant growth, though this can actually pose a major environmental hazard when we flush urine down the toilet into the public water systems. After we flush, part of the nitrogen is removed during an energy-intensive denitrification process. The remaining nitrogen often makes its way to natural waterways, where it can off-balance the ecosystems through a process called eutrophication: the excess nitrogen causes increased algae and aquatic plant growth, and as these plants decompose it depletes the oxygen supply that is needed by aquatic animals, often causing death. So it’s preferable to cycle the nutrients in our urine through terrestrial environments rather than aquatic environments, by fertilizing trees, bushes, wildflowers, lawns, and even our gardens.

3. Keep in mind that urine is very high in nitrogen. You may need to p*e daily, but your plants don’t need your daily p*e. Choose plants that need lots of nitrogen, such as corn and squash, tomatoes and cucumbers during their fruit-bearing stage, and older plants that need a boost. Signs of nitrogen deficiency include yellow or pale green leaves, and some plants have key signs, like pointed cucumbers. Don’t overdo it at the beginning of the season, as excess nitrogen can lead to bushy, leafy plants that bear little fruit. Signs of excess nitrogen include curled leaves, and these plants may also attract aphids. For garden plants in need of a genuine nitrogen boost, once or twice a month is generally fine, though some people will add highly diluted p*e a couple of times a week. If you have more p*e to give, try your lawn, trees and bushes

4. As a basic premise, the urine must be mixed with carbon-rich materials in order for the nitrogen to become accessible to the plants. Carbon-rich materials can include leaves, straw, or just good quality earthy soil. The nitrogen in urine is in the form of urea, creatine, and ammonia; when mixed with carbon-rich materials, the aerobic bacteria convert it into nitrates, which the plants can then uptake.

5. ways to use Urine in the garden or landscaping

 Compost Accelerator:If you are nervous about using urine directly on your plants, incorporating urine into a compost pile by pouring Urine directly to the compost pile can start to sp*ed things up and add moisture.

 Dilution is The Solution: How to dilute use before use as fertilizer

i. Dilute fresh urine at a 4litres(Water):1liters(urine) ratio and apply to the root-zone of corn(Maize) every two weeks or as needed

ii. Dilute fresh urine at a 10liters (water):1liter (Urine) ratio and apply to the root-zone of fruiting plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, or to leafy crops like cabbage, broccoli, spinach and lettuce every two weeks or as needed.

iii. Dilute fresh urine at a 20Liters (water):1 liter (urine) ratio and apply to the root zone of seedlings and new transplants.

iv. Deep Mulch Direct Application
If you thickly mulch your woody perennials, cane fruit and fruit trees with a high-carbon material like leaves or woodchips, you can apply your urine straight onto the mulch, which will absorb and moderate the straight shot of nitrogen in your urine.

4. Keep in mind: Urine is high in salt. This is one reason why it needs to be properly diluted. Not all plants respond well to high salt content. Reducing the salt in your diet can be helpful to your own health and improve the salt ratio in your urine.

N.B: At Vel-ReCo, Africa; the production of Urine fertilizer involves two sub-steps; First Half of the Nitrogen in Urine in form of ammonia is converted to Nitrate with the aid of Bacteria. The process is known as Nitrification. In the second step, the liquid is evaporated in a distiller to produce a concentrated nutrient solution. Partial nitrification is sufficient to stabilize the Nitrogen. Without this process, Nitrogen would be released in the form of gaseous ammonia during urine storage and distillation. Stabilization also removes the pungent odor. The product is already at the local market but in the process of local certification; for contact, buying products, donation, Supplier/distributor sponsorship and training;

Creativity is a key entrepreneurial trait. It can help strengthen emotional intelligence, while also helping kids to become more flexible and better problem solvers. Another perk, specifically for your kids, is that creativity is essential for subjects like science, math, and writing.

To foster creativity in your children, try out these seven ideas from Christine Carter for the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley: USA:

1. Give your children “ unstructured, child-directed, imaginative play –unencumbered by adult direction.
2. Foster a creative atmosphere where children can brainstorm ideas, as well as make mistakes and fail.
3. Give your children the autonomy to explore their ideas.
4. Encourage them to read and participate in arts.
5. Allow them to express “divergent thought” by encouraging them to develop more than one solution.
6. Don’t reward them for being creative because they “interfere with the creative process.
7. Emphasize more on the process, as opposed what your children have achieved
