Any News About Geography Climate change is a geographical phenomenon taking place in many parts of the world. It has caused a myriad of adverse effects, which are majorly human-induced activities. One major effect is the gradual increase in greenhouse gases, which thereby causes the greenhouse effect. Due to this, interventions have been put in place to curb this alarming increase. One of the adopted interventions is land use, land-use change, and forestry. Land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) is a greenhouse gas index sector that mainly deals with emission and dismissal of greenhouse gases that are a result of human activities, land-use change, and forestry-related activities. It plays a pivotal role in reducing global carbon cycle activities that influence climate. Land-use change is a major factor in reducing carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, and it has been a major contributor to global climate change. It has been estimated by IPCC that land-use change; for instance, clearing of forests to become agricultural lands contributes a net 1.6 ± 0.8 Gt carbon per year to the atmosphere (Frank et al., 2016).…

Poverty and its causes             This research assignment is based on the article, Causes of Poverty, Alex Addae-Korankye being the author under the American international journal of social science and the article was published in December 2014. The study analyzes and reviews what poverty is, its causes and the effects of poverty. The study limits the causes of poverty to a few factors that include poor governance, corruption, limited or scarce employment opportunities, poor infrastructure and resources usage, and unending conflicts. However, the study asserts that policies and strategies have been adopted to be able to achieve a poverty reduced state. From the available evidence in the article, the aim of this research assignment is to define and determine the core causes of poverty. In addition, the study investigates the impact of poverty on society and how best to avert the problem. Addae (2), defines poverty as the state of lacking sufficient resources or income or the lack of basic needs to sustain the survival of a people or person. It is an intricate phenomenon that refers to the insufficiency…

THE FUTURE OF SAUDI ARABIA             Focusing on the future of Saudi Arabia, more changes are expected to be observed because they have already started. These changes will be diversified in all the main sectors of the country’s economy. Right at the moment, the agricultural sector of this country has begun to diminish and so the country is likely to face shortage of food in future (Crane, 2012). The country has been using the advanced technologies to boost its agricultural sector up to certain levels but had to decrease in consideration to the future water demands. On the other hand, the population growth rate of the country has been increasing tremendously from the year 2008 by a margin of one million people. Considering its current population which is 33.4 million, in 20 years to come the population is expected to hit approximately 54million. These demographics as far as population have a lot to imply in regard to the climate and environmental conditions of the country. Considering that the available land remains constant while the population will have increased, people are…

Apriori algorithm Apriori algorithm is a group of set rules that guide data mining. The data is used in predicting future outcomes in the business. Apriori algorithm identifies the most frequent itemset and their relevant regulations attached to them. It is preferably used in a database that contains large numbers of transaction records to confirm the procedures followed by both customer and sellers. Apriori algorithm is advantageous in market basket analysis and allows the customer to purchase their required items with ease hence leading to increased sales of the market. It is also used in the medical sector to detect the adverse reaction of a drug on the patient’s body. Apriori algorithm is also used in organizations to learn and explore relations among variables in an extensive database of the firms. It helps in selecting the interesting rules from multiple rules that may arise from a small database through comparison of constraints on various measures of interest and significance. Apriori algorithm is perceived as part of a frequent itemset mining since it uses the concept of frequent itemset to generate…

SMART FARMING Introduction The New Zealand farming industry is well known internationally as it is the largest export industry in New Zealand. Due to the use of advanced technology in agricultural business, the production capacity of the sector has improved in the recent decade. The environment of the country is helpful for the agriculture sector as well as the farmers have effective land management. Agronomists use new technological information to improve production. In this task, I am discussing the agroforestry. With the use of smart farming, farmers can grow the production level with increasing nourishment food. The modern technology developed smart agriculture for farm management for nursery worker to offer tableware. Based on this technology, it can be said that horticulture can be improved effectively by applying science and technology by farmers to cultivating. This technological implementation can save time and hardworking for the farmers in gardening. It is because machinery is preferred by harvesters in farming stores (Herald, 2018). For example, to collect milk, machines can be used for dairy cattle and make them pesticide-free food. The issue of…

The use of pesticides in industrial/ factory farming              In most industrialized countries, agriculture has been considered as the primary contributor to economic development (Van Hemmen, 652). Intense agricultural production has resulted in adverse effects on the environment in most regions of the world (Van Hemmen, 652). Increased challenges in food production and prospects of reduced food production have led to the intensification of agricultural output by the key practitioners hence decreasing environmental capacity to ecosystem service population supply. The need for agricultural intensification has led to overreliance in chemical use, especially pesticides, veterinary chemicals, and fertilizers. Besides, rapid agricultural expansion has increased the demand for pesticides and agro-chemicals, becoming an integral part of the protection of public health, livestock, and plant. Evidence has shown that exposure of pesticides by most industrial and factory farming to the workers has intrinsic environmental and public health risks in all stages of application during production, importation, usage, disposal, and storage. Most of the pesticides are carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors, and mutagenic. Pesticides have been linked in many adverse health effects to the exposed individuals.…

Hurricane Katrina Impact Hurricane Katrina made landfall in 2005, causing catastrophic damage in Florida and Louisiana. The hurricane was described as a category five hurricane resulting in extensive destruction and over 1200 deaths (Kettl, 2006). Hurricane Katrina also had a significant impact on the country’s economy since it had paralyzed imperative operations such as oil supply, grain exports, and transportation due to the destruction of road networks, particularly the Gulf Coast highway. The catastrophe also affected the forestry industry, with millions of acres of land under forestry destroyed. Of all the sectors that were adversely affected by the catastrophe, the ones that managed to rebound the fastest were educational institutions, restaurants, and nursing care facilities. One of the companies whose operations were adversely affected by Hurricane Katrina was the Golden Corral Franchise (Burton & Hicks, 2005). Golden Corral can be described as a restaurant chain that provides customers hot and cold food varieties in the style of a family buffet. The company has been in operation for forty years, with over four hundred stores across the country. The company, being…

The Role of ZnO and TiO2 in Antimicrobial Bioplastics Based on PLA-Chitosan   Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop bioplastics using chitosan-Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), ZnO, and TiO2 to improve antimicrobial properties. In the preparation of the bioplastics, PLA with chitosan-ZnO or chitosan-TiO2 were used. The antimicrobial activity, mechanical properties, thermal properties, and water vapor permeability of bioplastics were evaluated. In general, the addition of ZnO produces better properties compared to TiO2. PLA-ZnO and chitosan have antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, yeast such as Candida albicans, and fungus Aspergillus niger. PLA-chitosan-ZnO alloys have the best antimicrobial activity, even though there is no formation of new functional groups of alloys. In comparison to other similar products, these bioplastics have medium tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation percentages with low barrier ability to water vapor. The PLA with chitosan and ZnO or TiO2 addition decomposed in a single stage, though the decomposition temperature increases after the addition of PLA.   Keywords: antimicrobial properties, bioplastic, PLA, TiO2, ZnO   Introduction Petrochemical plastics such as polyethylene…
