Relationship between musculoskeletal discomfort and cell phone use among young adults: A cross-sectional survey.

Cell phone usage is highly prevalent among young adults. They are used for multiple purposes including communication, studies, social networking and entertainment. However, its excessive usage has been associated with adverse health outcomes. The objective was to find the association of cell phone usage with musculoskeletal discomfort (MSD) and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on young adult students from a low-middle income country over a period of 3 months from December 2018 to February 2019. A structured questionnaire based on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH scoring) was used to record the musculoskeletal discomfort. Out of 803 questionnaires, data of 754 (94%) were entered and the remaining questionnaires (n = 49) were discarded due to incomplete answers. The mean age was 20.83 (1.62) years. In our study, there were 194 (25.7%) males and 560 (74.3%) female participants. Neck and shoulder were the most frequently affected regions. A significant difference in QuickDASH score was observed between genders (p-value p ≤ 0.001). Left-handed individuals scored significantly higher on QuickDASH score compared to right-handed individuals (p < 0.05). Increased musculoskeletal discomfort was reported by individuals with daily cell phone use of more than four hours (p < 0.05). A positive significant correlation was found between continuous one hour cell-phone use and higher mean QuickDASH scores (correlation coefficient 0.124, p value 0.001). Shorter eye-to-screen distance was significantly associated with MSD (p < 0.05). Musculoskeletal discomfort is associated with the female gender, duration of cell phone use and a small eye-to-screen distance.

Implementation of the Internet of Things on a Wheelchair using the MPU6050 Sensor

The large number of family activities carried out outside the home makes them always feel worried and anxious about the activities carried out by the elderly at home. This will be a problem when the elderly carer has important activities outside the home and has to leave the elderly person alone. If an elderly person falls, the sensor will detect the pressure of the fall and reduced balance in the elderly wheelchair. Then the MPU6050 sensor will send input to the nodemcu which controls the entire circuit for processing by sending a signal to the Blynk application as an output processor with a notification in the form of a short message that the elderly person has fallen, from the wheelchair which is displayed on the user's cellphone which has the blynk application installed. With this tool, it is easier for elderly caretakers to know the condition of elderly people when they are in a wheelchair, and it is also quicker to help elderly people if they fall from a wheelchair by notifying them via message notifications in the Blynk application.

Frequent Cell Phone Users have Sensorineural Hearing Loss: An Observational Study

Background: Mobile phone use is prevalent, and there have been concerns raised about its long-term safety. Electromagnetic fields from mobile devices can enter the brain and deposit energy as deep as 4-6 cm into the brain, heating the tissue. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study carried out at General Hospital, Rangamati during the period from January 2022 to January 2023. The study population includes patients who visit the ENT department at General Hospital, Rangamati and have used mobile phones for three years or more. Participants who were uninterested in the study, respondents with a history of ear disease, respondents with a history of loud noise exposure, or students who used headphones for entertainment reasons for more than 1 hour per day were also excluded. Results: The majority of participants (42.47%) had been exposed to mobile phone use for 4-5 years, whereas 26 (42.47%) had been exposed for 3 years and 16 (21.92%) for &gt;5 years. Nearly three-fourths (31.51%) of the subjects had exposure to mobile phones for two to three hours each day, whereas 12 (16.44%) of the patients had more than three hours. For the right and left ears, respectively, pure tone averages of 13.695.64 dB and 14.375.49 dB were discovered. 5 dB loss was observed in 25.0%, 10 dB loss in 12.5%, and 15 dB loss in 12.5% of participants who used mobile phones for more than three hours each day. Conclusion: The OAE results of all respondents were normal. We also discovered that none of the participants in our study experienced significant hearing loss (greater than 25 dB). As the young population gets increasingly attached to this expensive multipurpose device, mobile phones may become a risk issue in the near future.

MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION OF CELLPHONES OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE ORTHOPAEDIC DEPARTMENT AT A TERTIARY INSTITUTE IN GAUTENG

The role that fomites have to play in surgical site infection (SSI) and periprostheitic joint infection (PJI) has been observed and researched in the past. However the role that cellphones play in the transfer of microorganisms from hands to surgical sites and the indiscriminate use of cellphones within the Orthopaedics, could increase the risk of infection. This study aimed to measure the contamination of cellphones of health care workers (HCW's) in a South African tertiary hospital. Secondarily was to investigate the cellphone hygiene behaviour of HCW's.A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2022. Samples were taken from the the participant's cellphones under an aseptic technique and sent for microbiology. The participants also filled out a questionnaire on cellphone behaviour. The inclusion criteria was orthopaedic HCW's working in the institution; This included nurses and doctors in the orthopaedic theatres and main orthopaedic wards.Sixty-two participants were included; 54 from Orthopaedics and 7 from Anaesthesia. From the samples, 71% grew pathogens while 30,64% grew two or more colonies. This is slightly lower than other studies which showed contamination up to 100%. Micro-organisms cultured included Staphylococcus species; S.Epidermidis, Methycillin sensitive S.aureas; and E.Coli. Cellphone hygiene behaviour was also better than most other studies in terms of frequency of cleaning the devices and hand hygiene around cellphone usage. This which may be a contributing factor to the lower micro-organism contamination.This study should be the first of many as we have identified that there are indeed pathogens on cellphones transferable to patients; causing sepsis. Though cellphones have become vital in patients management in the hospital setting, factors such as improvement in cellphone hygiene through education and frequent cleaning of cellphones will aid in disabling the negative impact of cellphones in the orthopaedic environment.

RICE FARMER'S USING MOBILE IN MARKETING OPERATIONS: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY IN THE SPECIFIC REGION OF BANGLADESH

Rice is a major staple crop in Bangladesh, and its production has a profound effect on the country's agricultural sector. Large distribution networks in Bangladesh may drive up rice prices. The scarcity of marketing information prevents farmers from making decisions when planning their output and sales. This study aimed to analyze the variables that influence mobile usage and the effects of mobile use in rice marketing. 100 farmers were selected by two steps sampling procedure from the rural area of Upazilla, Bangladesh. 100 farmers in all, mostly small-scale rice farmers with an average plot size of 1.88 acres, were approached using a concise interview format &amp; questionnaires. The data was evaluated using a variety of statistical methods, including correlation and regression analysis using a binary logistic regression model. The analysis was carried out utilizing the SPSS. Studies showed that 75% of mobile phone owners utilize it for paddy marketing. Income and education have a significant influence on cellphone usage, as shown in regression analysis. In the Likert scale study, there was a highly positive impact on having access to a broad variety of information, the accuracy of that information, negotiating power, and reducing market intermediaries' and transportation corporations' oppressiveness. Most farmers can save time and money by acquiring information themselves. It can be concluded that the adoption of mobile phones facilitates marketing activities and all potential consequences for rice farmers. Assuring mobile phone utilization could be essential in this area to improve the calibre of rice marketing.

Crashes involving distracted pedestrians: Identifying risk factors and their relationships to pedestrian severity levels and distraction modes

The concept of distracted pedestrians and its impact on highway safety has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, studies focusing exclusively on distracted pedestrian crashes are less pervasive than distracted driving. In addition, most prior studies investigate the harmful effect of cellphone usage while walking, without considering other forms of pedestrian distraction. Also, the existing literature provides limited knowledge on comprehending the affinities between pedestrian distraction and safety consequences. This study aims to reveal the chain of contributing factors involved in distracted pedestrian crashes, considering both pedestrian severity levels and specific distraction-related tasks. Ten years (2010–2019) of related crashes were extracted from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) database, and association rule mining (ARM) was applied to identify the meaningful crash patterns. Different distracting activities of pedestrians were introduced from the narratives of police-investigated crash reports. The study findings exhibit the complex nature of distracted pedestrian crashes by highlighting the intricate relationships between risk factors. On road segments, distracted male pedestrians aged 41–64 were more likely to be fatal/severely injured in dark-not-lighted conditions. Crashes involving pedestrians using electronic devices were often found at intersections. Distractions caused by pets, persons, or objects were strongly associated with crossing segments in rural settings. In-person conversation while standing on roadways in urban residential locations without traffic controls was found to increase vulnerability. Working on vehicles while wearing dark clothes and in dark-not-lighted conditions was identified as an influential factor in crash occurrence. Moreover, careless or inattentive actions of pedestrians while playing on the road segments were associated with a high likelihood of crashes. These study outcomes are crucial in uncovering the coexisting crash characteristics related to distracted pedestrians, which can be helpful in targeting and developing effective educational, design, and enforcement strategies to improve pedestrian safety.

An Intelligent Framework Based on Deep Learning for SMS and e-mail Spam Detection

The use of short message service (SMS) and e-mail have increased too much over the last decades. 80% of people do not read e-mails while 98% of cell phone users daily read their SMS. However, these communication media are unsafe and can produce malicious attacks called spam. The e-mails that pretend to be from a trusted company to provide “financial or personal information” are phishing e-mails. These e-mails contain some links; users might download malicious software on their computers when they click on them. Most techniques and models are developed to automatically detect these “SMS and e-mails” but none of them achieved 100% accuracy. In previous studies using machine learning (ML), spam detection using a small dataset has resulted in lower accuracy. To counter this problem, in this paper, multiple classifiers of ML and a classifier of deep learning (DL) were applied to the SMS and e-mail dataset for spam detection with higher accuracy. After conducting experiments on the real dataset, the researchers concluded that the proposed system performed better and more accurately than previously existing models. Specifically, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier outperformed all others. These results suggest that SVM is the optimal choice for classification purposes.

Estimation of Electromagnetic Radiation Distribution in the Human Heart Rate at Different Frequencies‏‏

The health implications of electromagnetic radiation have been extensively debated due to the sharp increase in the usage of cell phones, Wi-Fi transmitters and other microwave equipment. Electromagnetic radiation affects the autonomic nervous system, heart rate, blood pressure and other cardiovascular functions. This study aims to present a Numerical Simulation of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) on the human heart tissue and to explore the effect of different frequencies in the spectral range (900, 1,800 and 2,400 MHz) on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), power density, the Distribution of Electromagnetic Fields by Matlab program, and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method in One Dimension (1D). A 1-dimensional finite difference method was used to solve Maxwell’s equations in heart tissue. The heart model was subjected to electromagnetic radiation that has dielectric properties according to frequency. Frequency was chosen and the operation of the software program as Matlab and the dielectric attribute has been calculated. Concurring with the Frequency in a private program, are the conductivity, relative permittivity, wavelength and infiltration profundity. The amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted sinusoid waves, relative to the occurrence wave, were portrayed by the reflection coefficient and the transmission coefficient, which relate to the amplitudes of the electric field wave. The electric field, magnetic field and power density were simulated along the line X = Y = 0. The study showed that the impact of electromagnetic radiation depends on the frequency of the wave which hit the heart. It was found that the heart tissue reacts more at 900 MHz compared to 1,800 and 2,400 MHz, and the tissue absorption is higher at the lower frequency. There was a relation between the magnetic field in the y-dimension and the time step the in x-dimension.

Examining the Effects of Cellphone Separation on Cognitive Engagement and Behavioral Performance in A Stroop Task

Cellphone has become an integral part of people’s daily life. Anxiety may arise from cellphone separation. Although negative cognitive effects of cellphone separation were reported, the mechanism of how cellphone separation anxiety influences cognition. In the present study, we examined the effects of cellphone separation on state anxiety and physiological indicators of cognitive engagement, heart rate (HR), and high frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV). Seventy-five college-aged participants were assigned into three groups (explicit separation, implicit separation, and control groups) and performed a Stroop task. Anxiety, HR and HF-HRV at baseline and during the task were measured. Additionally, trait anxiety, working memory capacity, and daily cellphone usage were measured as covariates. The dependent variables were submitted to repeated-measure mixed-model analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Although there were no group effects on state anxiety and HF-HRV, the implicit cellphone separation group showed the highest level of HR response and the Stroop effect on RTs. The results suggest that the activation of the mental representation of a cellphone, which occurred in the implicit separation group, facilitates cognitive engagement and enlarge the effects of inhibition on the speed of Stroop responses.

Distracted Driving Behavior Among Adults in the Perambalur District: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Distracted driving is a major public health concern. Distraction results in reduced speed control, lateral lane position, reduced situational awareness, and impaired response times to roadway hazards. Visual, cognitive, and manual distractions impair drivers in different ways. With the above background, this study was conducted with the objective of estimating the proportion of distracted driving behavior and its predictors among the adult population in the Perambalur district, Tamil Nadu, India, by using the Total Distracted Driving Scale. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 403 adults aged 18 years and above by convenience sampling technique in the Perambalur district for six months. A pretested, semi-structured proforma was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics such as age, sex, education, and occupation. To quantify distracted driving behavior, the Total Distracted Driving Scale was used. This scale contains seven questions about talking on the phone, five questions about texting, and five questions about using specific devices while driving. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the distracted driving behavior with respect to each variable, and to find out the significance, a corresponding statistical test was employed. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The mean age of the study participants was 24.86 ± 10.63 years. More than half of the study subjects (52.4 percent) were females, and around 87.3 percent of them were Hindu by religion. Among the study participants, around 66.74 percent mentioned that they had used a cell phone while driving. Around 38 percent of the study participants admitted that they had been in or were near-crash circumstances during the past year. Around 87 percent of the study participants who had a crash or near-crash in the past year admitted that they had been distracted while driving. On primary analysis, religion of individuals and increased driving frequency had a statistically significant association with a history of distracted driving. Study participants who were using three- and four-wheelers and those who used cellphones while driving had a statistically significant association with a history of distracted driving. According to the regression, cell phone users are 3.915 times more distracted than those who do not use cellphones (p = 0.001). Subjects with a history of crashes or near-crashes were 56.96 times more distracted than those without a history (p < 0.001). Conclusion In the present study, three-fourths of the study population used a cell phone while driving. More than three-fourths of the study participants admitted that they had been in a crash or near-crash circumstances during the past year. Distracted driving was responsible for four-fifths of all crashes or near-collisions. Use of a cell phone while driving and a history of near-crashes have a higher risk of distraction than those who do not.

Investigating the effects of left-turn distracted drivers on signalized intersections’ traffic operations

Distracted driving represents a serious obstacle to maintaining an efficient transportation system. The safety impacts of distracted driving had been thoroughly explored. However, the traffic operations impact has received less attention. Few studies addressed distracted driving behaviors in through lanes, but less focus has been provided on the left turners. The goal of this study is to fill this gap in the research and address the impact of distracted driving for left turners on traffic operations at signalized intersections. Field data were collected from six (6) intersections, with thousands of observations analyzed in Orange County, Florida, studying different land use, lane configurations, and peak periods. The results demonstrated that 87% of all drivers were distracted. 28% were distracted by cell phone usage and showed significant effect only during the AM peak. During the PM peak, talking to passengers and dashboard categories were significant. In all peak periods, the category of “not identified” distractions was dominant (48%), indicating drivers not paying attention and staring through the windshield. Drivers in the first row in the queue experienced more distractions in the PM peak than in the AM peak. Motorists in residential & school land use had lower headway than those in mixed land use. This can be attributed to motorists' cautious driving behavior due to the existence of school zones and pedestrian crossings. In contrast, motorists in mixed land use tend to be more distracted by the commercial and tourist areas. The statistical models demonstrated that the overall effect of distracted drivers in the left lanes on the discharge headway at signalized intersections is significant. The TOD analysis showed that the distractions increased the headway by 40%, 37%, and 43% during the AM, MD and PM peak hours, respectively. Conversely, the overall distractions model results showed that the base headway increased by 40% resulting in reducing the intersection’s capacity by 30%.

The Impact of SMS Advertisements on Purchase Intention of Apparel Brands’ Consumers in Quetta

The use of mobile devices has become quite common which has provided marketers with the opportunity to utilize it to reach their customers; therefore, SMS advertising as a marketing instrument is widely being used nowadays. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of factors of SMS advertisements (entertainment, credibility, informativeness, and irritation) on the consumer purchase industry of apparel brands in Quetta. Hypotheses were formed to find out the results. The questionnaire was adapted and used for the dependent and independent variables. Using convenience sampling, we collected data from 312 cell phone users. We tested the conceptual model using Multiple Linear Regression on SPSS. This explanatory study showed there is a significant influence caused by informativeness, credibility and irritation of SMS advertisements on consumer purchase intention, whereas, entertainment does not have any significant influence on consumer purchase intention. The research offers findings that enable marketers to comprehend how SMS advertising contributes to the formation of consumer purchase intention. This study rounds off with the findings which are theoretical and has practical implications.

Using call detail records to determine mobility patterns of different socio-demographic groups in the western area of Sierra Leone during early COVID-19 crisis.

Human mobility patterns created from mobile phone call detail records (CDRs) can provide an essential resource in data-poor environments to monitor the effects of health outbreaks. Analysis of this data can be instrumental for understanding the movement pattern of populations allowing governments to set and refine policies to respond to community health risks. Building on CDR mobility analysis techniques, this research set out to test whether combining CDR mobility indicators with socio-economic information can illustrate differences between different socio-economic groups' exposure risks to COVID-19. The work focuses on the Western Area of Sierra Leone which houses the capital Freetown because it lacks existing mobility data and therefore can be a great example of how CDR can be transformed for this use. To determine mobility patterns, we applied the radius of gyration, regularity of movement, and motif types analytics commonly used in CDR research. We then applied a clustering algorithm to these results to understand user trends. Then we compared the results of the three methods with socio-economic status determined from census data in the same geography. The results show the daily movement of cell phone users of lower socio-economic status covered greater distances in the Western Area before and after lockdown, thereby showing a greater risk to COVID-19. The research also shows that groups of higher social status decreased mobility significantly after lockdown and did not return to pre-COVID-19 levels, unlike lower-social status groups.
