Insight Into

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, mobile phones has become the utmost preference device for most Malaysian to stay connected. Over the past decades, mobile phone users in this country has been increasing steadily. Percentage of individuals in Malaysia using mobile phones increased from 94.2% in 2013 to 97.5% in 2015 (DOS, 2016). According to the hand phone users survey carried out by MCMC (2017) , there were 42.3 million mobile phone subscriptions with a penetration rate of 131.2% to a population of 32.3 million at the end of 2017. In a study on university students of Malaysia, Ho et al. (2018) revealed that a substantial amount of them (18.83%) actually do not know what to do with the waste mobile phones. This reflects the low awareness amongst university students and the lack of formal management system in Malaysia. Moreover, the findings show the rate of replacements of even functioning phones is high and a significant high stockpile of the waste mobile phones, which in turn increase the generation of e-waste eventually. Tremendous amount of waste mobile phones are expected to be generated in Malaysia. Malaysia is now facing a challenge on how to deal with the ever growing generation of waste mobile phones from users. An insight into their e-waste management practices and key predictors in relation to waste mobile phones recycling intention are therefore essential. This would help to lay the foundation for developing a suitable, workable, effective and efficient system of collecting e-wastes. This study aims to probe into university students' behavioural intentions to recycle waste mobile phones. In the meanwhile, it is expected to derive the policy implications for the future expansion and enhancement of mobile phones recycling response rate.

In developing countries like the Saudi Arabia, due to high mobile phone penetration rates, any electronic government initiatives that don’t take mobile technology into account will eventually fail. While the number of landline phones and internet subscribers are growing steadily over the past few years, the number of mobile phone users and its penetration rates are skyrocketing. In the near future and with the many mobile phone features, mobile phones will remain the main media of communication and a main source for providing information to citizens and customers.

In the past few years, the mobile phone’s performance has increased rapidly. According to IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Phone 2004-2008 Forecast and Analysis, sales of 2.5G mobile phones will drive market growth for the next several years, with sales of 3G mobile phones finally surpassing the 100 million annual unit mark in 2007. Future mobile phones can support more than 20,000 colors. With the advancements in functionality and performance of mobile phones, users will use them for all sorts of activities, and that will increase mobile content service requests. Currently, the pricing of mobile content service is up to each provider; typically they implement a fixed price called a market price because the providers do not have a formula to estimate the price according to the actual cost of their services. This article proposes a dynamic pricing model based on net cost for mobile content services.

Ever since the discovery of the Mandelbrot set, the use of computers to visualise fractal images have been an essential component. We are looking at the dawn of a new age, the age of ubiquitous computing. With many countries having near 100% mobile phone usage, there is clearly a potentially huge computation resource becoming available. In the past years there have been a few applications developed to generate fractal images on mobile phones. This chapter discusses three possible methodologies whereby such images can be visualised on mobile devices. These methods include: the generation of an image on a phone, the use of a server to generate the image and finally the use of a network of phones to distribute the processing task.

BACKGROUND Smart phones containing medical related apps have been applied to medical practice and proved to be helpful by previous studies. However, no attention has been paid to the use of mobile phone and medical related apps among foreign medical students(FMSs) in China. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the utilization of mobile phones with medical apps among FMSs in WMU. METHODS A survey of FMSs was conducted in Wenzhou Medical University (WMU). Data from questionnaire include the major obstacles FMSs face in China; the acceptance and preference of medical related apps in FMSs; the patterns of medical related app usage within FMSs. RESULTS This study included ninety-three FMSs, all of whom owned at least one mobile phone. Most owners had more than one medical related app. No difference on gender or operating system was found in utilization of apps. 55% of FMSs reported using medical related apps on a daily basis, among which, 65% of them spent more than 20 minutes on medical related apps everyday. CONCLUSIONS Mobile phones were highly applied among FMSs in WMU. With more effort in app designing, smart phones could be a possible solution for necessary aid in learning medicine overseas.

Youtube Videos

Nowadays we find more and more videos, especially music videos, that were released on a vertical or portrait format. These format certainly were uncommon ten to fifteen years ago, but nowadays videos that use vertical format can be found anywhere, from amateur youtube videos to professionally made music videos. Certainly, the development of mobile phone technology plays a significant part in how the format came to be but does the mobile phone itself creates the advent of the vertical format? This paper attempts to explain how the vertical format became a format that slowly became popular. From looking at various vertical format videos from the past, examining the technological advances and other contexts that may also influence the format’s formation, and also the way people captures moving images; the author attempts to provide an insight on how the vertical format videos became a common thing nowadays.  Based on several literature reviews, the author also compares the vertical format and the horizontal format in hopes to provide insight on how these formats differ. The author also tries to predict how the future of the vertical format may influence cinematography on other media in the long run. The paper concludes by pointing out several ideas on how to respond to the vertical format itself.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> With the advent of new smart phones every day, health hazard related to it is also increasing. The usage of mobile phones has become a domineering activity of the students. Such usage have been documented to cause many health hazards like hearing loss, the mobile phone electromagnetic radiation has other potential risks like vehicular accidents, headache, and sleep disturbances, thermal effects and alteration of blood brain barrier. The objective of the study was to assess the hearing loss with pure tone audiometry due to chronic mobile phone usage among medical college students in a tertiary care hospital.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a cross sectional study conducted among the medical students from June 2018 to December 2018, with the sample size of 129. The participants were interviewed using pretested, validated questionnaire followed the participants were subjected to pure tone audiometry.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Among the 129 participants, the majority of the study participants (58.1%) were females. The median age of the participants was 20 and almost 42.7% of the participants used in ear media while using the phone. 10.9% and 19.4% showed symptoms of tinnitus and hard of hearing respectively. On testing the participants with pure tone audiometry, around 9.3% had mild hearing loss and 3.9% had moderate hearing loss.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The health hazard caused by the mobile phone usage may not be evident for many years. The students are exposed to smart phones frequently and hence periodic screening and health education regarding the harm of using mobile phones for longer duration should be made imperative.</p>
