THE EFFECTS OF MOBILE PHONES RADIO FREQUENCY EXPOSURE ON HUMAN (TESTES, OVARY AND THE BREAST): A REVIEW

ABSTRACT

Communication is one of the most effective human needs besides food, shelter and clothing and the quest for individuals to own a mobile phone; this is not without its negative side effects. This aspect of environmental pollution may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century. This Type of Pollution is most dangerous because it is invisible and insensible. As a result, this review highlighted the health hazards associated to radio frequency exposure, these sicknesses include - allergies, heart disease, brain cancer, depression, sleep disorder and ill- temper, Cell phones also interfere with pacemakers, among the ways to minimise exposure are - Choose a phone with the lowest RFR level, hold the phone further away from the head when in use, Use of a “hands-free” kit (with earphones), among recommendations - the principle of prudent avoidance is a reasonable way to prevent unnecessary exposures.


INTRODUCTION
Communication has been one of the most important human needs besides food, shelter and clothing, Mobile telephony is now commonplace around the world. This wireless technology relies upon an extensive network of fixed antennas relaying information with radio frequency signals which are high frequency electromagnetic waves. With the explosion of the Global system of mobile communication (GSM), the density of radio frequency waves around us is now many millions of times higher than the natural levels. This aspect of environmental pollution may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this... Read all here>>>>>

PORT HARCOURTAVIATION INDUSTRY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT: EMERGING TREND OF LIVELIHOOD APPROACH IN IKWERRE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA

PORT HARCOURTAVIATION INDUSTRY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT: EMERGING TREND OF LIVELIHOOD APPROACH IN IKWERRE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, RIVERS STATE, NIGERIA Eze Wosu Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences University of Port Harcourt,Port Harcourt, Nigeria Email : ewosu@yahoo.com ABSTRACT The study examined the livelihood conditions of the Ikwerre people since the establishment of the Port Harcourt Aviation Industry in Omagwe community. It was argued that the Port Harcourt Aviation was supposed to be a blessing to the indigene and inhabitants of the areas; rather it became more of a resource curse. Rather than enhancing the living condition of the people, it had transformed the socio-economic, political and cultural lives of the Omagwe communities into a state of abject poverty.

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION Aliyu M. Waziri, Udonsa A. Ezekiel and 3 Esaduwha S. Obukohwo 1&2 Department of Mathematics and 3 Department of Physics Federal College of Education, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria ABSTRACT In this paper, mathematics is used for describing, predicting and communicating climate change. We used the perspective of critical mathematics education to examine how mathematics is constructed in reporting climate change. We took into consideration the importance of mathematical modelling. Our discussion is referenced by a newspaper report and a policy document. In ourargument, human mathematical activity and the role of human activity in causing climate change are all largely invisible.  Mathematics education has an important role to play in making the invisible visible. Keywords: Climate, Mathematics Education, Mathematics Modelling.
