Practical Recommendations

Despite the fact that in recent years a number of committed crimes in Russia has decreased in general due to the taken measures, crimes against property are still prevalent within the overall structures of crime and considered a major problem. Theft of cell phones has a special place in this structure. It is worth noting that although the cell phones have acquired many additional functions, in recent years they are no longer the luxury goods and are in the category of everyday things that are now necessary (and available) for almost all classes of citizens. An analysis of the market for cell phone sales in Russia shows that over the last years the number of cell phones has increased significantly, while in large Russian cities their number equaled the number of residents (which means 100 phones per 100 inhabitants). The author, on the basis of statistics, points out a clear trend of continued growth in sales of smartphones, as well as an expansion of the market for expensive devices. Based on data on crime situation generally the article further shows that theft make up more than half of all crimes committed. This number, of course, includes theft of cell phones, but due to the lack of data on this specific type of theft, it is difficult to determine where they stand in the overall picture. The author provides a classification of this type of crime according to the place and the ways these crimes are committed, illustrating them with the materials of particular criminal cases, and gives practical recommendations to mobile phone users that will reduce the risk of smartphone theft. Having studied the domestic and foreign (UK, USA) experience in the field of combating such crimes, the author examines a number of measures aimed at preventing cell phone theft. The author believes that the solution to these problems in particular may be the adoption of a law on the state database of mobile phones, as has already been done in some foreign countries.

The Impact

The overuse of mobile phones by teenagers has become a common occurrence in our time. Therefore, this research aims to study the impact of cell phone addiction, cell phone cons, and the effect of applications on adolescent behaviors. This survey used the questionnaire to gather information from participants. The study targeted a group of male and female school students in Jeddah in the 14- 16 age group, who numbered 270. The study found that most students spend a lot of time on these apps or one of them: (Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) without realizing the value of time wasted on these apps. The study also showed that Saudi teenagers use mobile phones and their applications to serve and develop hobbies. Despite the negative effects of mobile use such as sleep and insomnia, the sample praised its ability to control the use of mobile phones and that overuse does not reach the stage of addiction. The study recommends reducing the use of cell phones so that adolescents can hone and focus their skills. The study also recommends conducting qualitative studies to identify the quality of identities and how mobile devices contribute to the refinement and development of technical and technical hobbies.

Positive Results

The possibility that using a cell phone could cause brain cancer first arose in the early 1990s and has been the subject of research since then. Radiofrequency waves used in cellular communications are far too weak to induce cancer by any known mechanism, and most scientific and regulatory bodies have found the evidence for health effects from use of mobile phones to be unconvincing. Nevertheless, positive results, largely from a single group of researchers, and an ambiguous assessment from single agency have kept the controversy alive. New studies are in progress.

Electromagnetic Pollution

In modern day’s high tech world, all of us are constantly experiencing EM radiation from almost all sources. Each and every source introduce its own EMF. At this very moment as you are reading this paper, you are probably being exposed to many electro-magnetic fields. The situation is no different while we are at play, travelling, at work, reposing at home, and even sleeping on bed. Practically there is an increase in EMR pollution with the increase in every new invention. EMR of all frequencies serve as one of the fastest growing and most common environmental impacts, about which speculation and anxiety are growing. The digital communication devices which we use emit digital pulsed radio-frequency EMFs which are perhaps one of the most harmful kind for human health. In today’s world use of cell phone has become ubiquitous with an estimated subscription of 6.9 billion globally. In modern day telecommunication cell phones play a very crucial role. It is not astonishing that the level of invisible electromagnetic pollution on our planet is tremendously high. As a result it is essential to examine, discern and check any possible impact on public health. The leading aim of this paper is to examine the harmful impacts of the electromagnetic radiation, survey the regulations which are in place to keep a check on the levels of radiations and to suggest a few daily habits which will help to reduce one’s exposure to such harmful radiations..

ABSTRAK Penggunaan ponsel saat ini sangat diperlukan, bahkan dalam kondisi pandemi COVID-19 saat ini. Masyarakat belum sadar akan bahaya penggunaan telepon seluler (HP) dalam situasi pandemi, seperti penggunaan HP pada transportasi umum (bus, kereta api, dsb), rumah sakit, dll. Pengguna HP saat di angkutan umum sering mengoperasikan HP sedangkan mungkin lupa sebelumnya telah memegang palang besi atau pintu bus sehingga HP menjadi terkontaminasi virus COVID-19. Melihat venomena ini oleh tim pengabdian masyarakat (PKM) tergerak untuk mensosialisasikan penggunaan pelindung telepon seluler tahan air dan cara membersihkan telepon seluler (HP) setelah digunakan dalam perjalanan atau diluar rumah. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan saat lockdown dilaksanakan di Jakarta, maka dari itu tim melakukan sosialisasi dengan menggunakan brosur dan penyaluran bantuan kepada petugas kesehatan. Pengabdian masyarakat selain memberikan sosialisi pencegahan virus melalui perangkat HP, tim PKM memberikan menjelaskan kembali perlunya menjaga protokol kesehatan dengan memakai masker, serta cuci tangan menggunakan handsanitaizer. Tim PKM juga tergerak untuk memberikan bantuan kepada masyarakat kurang mampu yang bermukim di jalanan kawasan Cibubur dan sekitarnya. Hasil sebelum sosialisasi melalui survei dilapangan didapatkan 35% pasien dan 30% perawat menyatakan Telah mengetahui sebelumnya bahwa penggunaan pelindung Handphone (HP) diperlukan untuk pencegahan Covid-19. Hasil setelah sosialisasi melalui brosur, bahwa  cara-cara pelindungan perangkat HP demi pencegahan Covid-19 sangat mudah dimengerti didapatkan hasil Pasien 93,33% dan perawat 95%. Para perawat  sebesar 97.5%, dan 96.67% pasien  berharap penjelasan Perlindungan HP ini perlu disosialisasikan lebih luas. Kata kunci: pandemi covid-19; perlindungan tahan air; bersihkan ponsel. ABSTRACTThe use of mobile phones today is indispensable, even in the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. People are not aware of the dangers of using cell phones (HP) in a pandemic situation, such as using cellphones on public transportation (buses, trains, etc.), hospitals, etc. HP users when on public transport often operate their cellphones while they may forget that they have previously held iron bars or bus doors so that their cellphones become contaminated with the COVID-19 virus Seeing this phenomenon, the community service team (PKM) was moved to socialize the use of waterproof cell phone protectors and how to clean cell phones (HP) after being used on a trip or outside the home. Community service activities were carried out when the lockdown was implemented in Jakarta, therefore the team carried out socialization by using brochures and distributing aid to health workers. Community service in addition to providing socialization on virus prevention through mobile devices, the PKM team also explained the need to maintain health protocols by wearing masks, and washing hands using a hand sanitizer. The PKM team was also moved to provide assistance to underprivileged communities who live on the streets of the Cibubur area and its surroundings. The results before the socialization through a field survey showed that 35% of patients and 30% of nurses stated that they had known beforehand that the use of a mobile phone (HP) protector was needed to prevent Covid-19. The results after socialization through brochures, that the ways to protect HP devices for the prevention of Covid-19 are very easy to understand, the results are 93.33% patients and 95% nurses. 97.5% of nurses, and 96.67% of patients hope that this explanation of HP Protection needs to be disseminated more widely. Keywords: covid-19 pandemic; waterproof protection; clean the cell phone

The use of mobile phones has become increasingly popular in recent years and it is more prevalent among university students. The widespread usage of cell phones has attracted the attention of many students, thereby increasing their rate of cell phone dependency. This study aimed to describe cell phone behaviours among undergraduate regular students at the University of Cape Coast. A survey research design was adopted for the study. Through the use of the stratified sampling technique, a sample of 2,061 undergraduate regular students participated in the study. Questionnaire adapted from Choliz’s (2012) Test of Mobile-phone Dependence (TMD) was used. The internal consistency, estimated using McDonald’s omega coefficient, ranged from .84 to .95. Means and standard deviations were used in analyzing the data for the study. The findings of the study revealed that students were prevalent in the use of cell phones in sending text messages, followed by surfing of the internet, length of time spent on the cell phone, and use of cell phone as a source of entertainment. It was recommended among other things that students should consciously regulate their use of cell phones so that it does not jeopardize their academic work.

Cell phones are now widespread in many countries including Japan where we teach, and are particularly popular among university students. Although they can be a distraction in the classroom, functions such as Internet access and e-mail capability have transformed them into sophisticated communication tools. But are they also potentially useful in language learning? While task-based approaches (Nunan, 1989) adapted to desktop e-mail are now a growing area of research in CALL (Greenfield, 2003; Gonzalez-Lloret, 2003), cell phones have yet to receive much attention. This paper reports on a classroom research project aimed at evaluating the use of mobile phones as tools for classroom learning. Freshman university students in intact EFL classes (2 elementary classes, 2 lower intermediate) were first surveyed regarding their cell phone use and pre-tested to assess their knowledge of certain target learning structures. Following this they were subdivided into three groups: (a) using cell phone text messages, (b) using computer e-mail, and (c) speaking. The learners were paired, trained with warm-up tasks, and given two further sets of tasks to complete (one in class and the other at home). The target vocabulary appeared in the initial narrative task. All messages sent while doing the tasks were saved for analysis. The speaking task pairs were recorded and samples were transcribed for comparison. Finally learners took a post-test the following week to assess short-term learning gains. This project drew attention to a number of potential advantages of mobile phones as well as highlighting some limitations, but overall suggested that mobile phones represent a language learning resource worthy of further investigation.
