How, then, can we mitigate against the worst consequences of trends we can scarcely envisage?
Institutes such as Tamkang University or The Futures Academy in Dublin use a "futures wheel," which refers to the visualization of the consequences of trends through diagramming them on a wheel. 2 These methods do not necessarily provide warning signals for the future so much as they are simply a diagram or visualization of goals, desires and outcomes.
Since childless working-age people started the period with low levels of poverty compared with other demographic groups, one consequence of these trends was that the risks of poverty across the major demographic groups converged under Labour".
The milestone is a natural consequence of two trends: a glacially slow decline since 2000 in the percentage of households with landlines, and a steep rise in the number of households with cellphones.
A consequence of these trends is that patients are more likely to pursue talk therapy after many medication trials that are either ineffective or insufficient to bring about relief — the opposite experience of Mr. Stott.
The theming of the urban areas and the presence of a dialectic between inclusive and exclusive mechanisms is a consequence of these trends, favoured by the sprawling form of contemporary urbanisation.
As a consequence of these trends, there is a narrower range of translational efficiencies at both ends of the spectrum, in mutant versus WT cells.
One consequence of these trends is the intensification of production, with the concomitant intensification of existing interactions between species and the introduction of new non-food crops and pests, and novel weed and disease control strategies.
As a consequence of these trends of rising incidence and survival, it is almost certain that the number of Australian women living with breast cancer will keep increasing in the near future.
At PND50 in the BPA-exposed group (i.e., immediately after puberty), we observed significant deregulation of mammary gland growth as a consequence of two trends: an increase in proliferation and a decrease in apoptosis.
