The Future

The world is going green; hence, environmentally friendly practices that would conserve natural resources for the future generation are encouraged. As a consequence, the world is less concerned about the numerous applications of nanotechnology, especially in the health sector; rather, it is more concerned about the sustainability of functionalized nanomaterials. Thus, the future of nanotechnology depends on its ability to ‘go green'. Green nanotechnology attempts to synthesize improved, nontoxic, and biocompatible nanomaterials with sustainable benefits using eco-friendly materials. Although green nanotechnology is considered a sustainable, viable, and biocompatible approach to the production of eco-friendly nanomaterials, there are shortcomings especially in microbial handling and process optimization. In this chapter, the authors aim to appraise not only the use of biocompatible approaches for the synthesis of nanoparticles and/or nanomaterials but also their shortcomings.

Life On Earth

My contribution to the crusade for the perpetuation of all life on Earth, indeed for the very tools for survival if the situation becomes more critical, has been the opportunity to put the case for conservation of Nature and natural resources over to the public in general, and also to present it to the great decision-makers of our time—the men and women who have such mighty power for good or evil, and on whose vision and actions the future of Man depends. I have been able to do this because of the dedicated support I have received from my colleagues in the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and from our sister organization and scientific adviser, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), all working in close partnership.

AbstractTelemedicine is a new concept that is developing with a lightning speed in developed countries. The practitioners of medicine are also using this as it has been legalised in many countries.In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) times, when the buzzword is physical distancing, telemedicine assumes more importance. People are using this because of its easy availability, which cuts down their waiting time in the hospitals, it is easily accessible and is cost-effective. This is not only used by the modern science but also by the alternative systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Homoeopathy, as well as by the nutritionists, physiotherapists, yoga experts and so many others who are following these audio-visual and telecommunication techniques. It has worked well to reach out to the patients and resolve their queries. It is easy to reach to so many persons via a single platform and guide them. We are here to share some of our views on telemedicine and on the approach adopted by the people across the world, and discuss how it will be implemented by the future generation for the benefits of their lives and the society.

With its sights set on sustainable development, transport policy finds itself confronted with the challenge of convincing people to abandon the current path of growth and instead use small, slower vehicles with a reduced range in the future. The problem with this goal is that people's mental structures are shaped by the car ensconced in their heads. Thinking in other terms hardly seems possible; moreover, many of the products classified as vehicles, but smaller in scale than the "car" and that already exist, remain unknown, nor can they be tried out - they are quite literally nowhere to be seen. In light of this situation, the German Federal Environmental Foundation has commissioned a feasibility study to explore the establishment of a World of Experience (Erlebniswelt) of sustainable urban mobility - the EcoMobileum®. Here, the aim is to open up the horizons of a new culture of mobility in order to get people excited about the transformation of mobility.

As a maritime country, Indonesia is one of the largest fish producers in the world. This marine resources has fulfilled Indonesian people in their daily needs on fish and also has fulfilled the world's demands for fish. Sea of Java is one of the main ecosystems that provides that marine commodities. However the fish demand that always increases over time threatened the fish ecosystem because of overfishing phenomena by fishermen. The most possible solution for this problem is establish fisheries transmigration in Indonesia which is supported by suitable equipment for fish catching in purpose to resource and development equality in all regions of Indonesia as well as preserving marine biota conservation for marine improvement in this region for the future generation.

Traces of “ ancient colors “ have begun to be known to humans since humans still live in caves. Some artifactsfrom the past are still displayed beautifully in several caves scattered throughout the world with conditions thatare still very good. This means that the colors depicted on the cave walls are still very clearly visible in thedirection of the colors such as red, white, black and brown. They have used natural coloring agents derivedfrom biotic and abiotic natural resources, such as animals, plants and mineral rocks Ancient colors becamean inspiration idea for researchers to conduct more in-depth research on materials and techniques by utilizingrocks or minerals that are around us. Stone, soil, bones, mixed with animal oil or fat can become coloringagents that have their own characteristics. It is possible to develop the potential of ancient colors that exist(plants, animals, soil, water, and rocks / minerals) in the batik center area of Sragen Regency to be exploredinto batik works of a characteristic region. The purpose of this Artistic (Art creation) research is to create anatural coloring formula from ancient rocks as an environmentally friendly natural dye for batik and its applicationto batik cloth.

There is an urgent need for innovation in the sanitation sector because the conventional model (toilet-to-sewer-to-treatment) is too time-consuming and costly, and alternatives are lacking. We estimate the challenge ahead by developing scenarios for 60 of the fastest-growing urban conglomerates in the World. We find that the majority would need to build out their sewer systems at a rate that is ten to 50 times higher than the highest rate for any project in the World Bank’s database, which is unrealistic. We also carry out a case study of Lagos, Nigeria, which suggests that, in any given year, 14–37% of Lagos State’s budget would need to be invested to provide sanitation to the presently underserviced population while keeping up with population growth, which also is unrealistic. Our study provides clear evidence that the conventional model for sanitation is unworkable for rapidly growing urban areas. We conclude there is an urgent need to encourage and fund projects that promote innovations that can tackle the three core challenges: can be built sufficiently quickly, are flexible, and affordable. This is not likely to happen unless the future generation is systematically trained and educated to creatively support innovation in sustainable sanitation.

Gun powder is predicted to be more expensive in relation to the world oil shortage crisis in the future. However, cellulose (generic chemical formula (C6H10O5) is the carbohydrate that makes up the main structure of plants. It is more economical especially for countries with a lot of natural resources and rain forests like Malaysia. The finding of the study reveals the capability of nitrocellulose as gunpowder. In this research, a comparison of the same mass of nitrocellulose and gunpowder is made to find out which propellant produce longer distance and greater impact. The main objectives of this study are to find out the performance and capability of nitrocellulose extracted from Rhizophora apiculata compared to gunpowder in terms of velocity, calorific value of bullets and kinetic energy produced. The result shows that the nitrocellulose has better performance than gun powder. The new application of smokeless gun powder ensures troops especially snipers hardly being detected by enemy and at the same time improves safety and security level.

Main Thing

The article considers the moral nature of the principle in the worldview of Abay Kunanbayev «Be a man!», which is a spiritual value of the Kazakh people. The author thoroughly analyzes the ethical guidelines and instructions of the poet, which indicate the path of humanity to the future generation. His universal advanced and ethical ideas of moral improvement, unity and peace, freedom, kindness, conscience, morality, kindness and justice, education, etc. are the main values that serve as an example for the modern generation. Based on the concept of the poet-thinker, which makes it clear that good character depends on reason and science, the article also reveals the fact that people have different character traits. And to achieve science, a special love is necessary, thanks to which the poet's creativity knows its Creator, the world around it. The authors note that the five pillars of Abay Kunanbayev's creativity are the manifestation of human self-improvement, the formation of a good character, the formation of a healthy and virtuous person who meets the needs of the time. The main thing is that the poet assumes the freedom of the future of the nation in the formation of the spiritual essence of the people.
