Wireless technology is an environmental stressor and there are engineering solutions that can reduce exposure.

The many different voices speaking into the current narrative surrounding the health effects of 5G technologies necessitate an exploration of the background of the various published author-spokespersons and their potential motives. This has been attempted recently by de Vocht and Albers. However, that opinion piece used a narrow investigative lens,...

Electromagnetic signals from everyday wireless technologies are an ever-present environmental stressor affecting biological systems. More specifically, the experiments investigating exposures from real-world devices and the epidemiology studies examining the effects of living near mobile phone base stations were extracted from the ORSAA Database of...

In 2017 an article was published on the unwillingness of the WHO to acknowledge the health effects associated with the use of wireless phones. It was thus stated that the WHO is ‘A Hard Nut to Crack’. Since then, there has been no progress, and history seems to be repeating in that the European Union (EU) is following in the blind man’s footsteps c...

The advent of fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication introduces new technology utilizing near-millimeter radiofrequency waves [i.e., with a frequency of 30–300 GHz (mmWaves)]. The long-term effects of these signals on humans and the environment are unknown. Scientific literature reviews investigating biological harm from mmWave usage have con...

Electromagnetic signals from everyday wireless technologies are an ever-present environmental stressor, affecting biological systems. In this article, we substantiate this statement based on the weight of evidence from papers collated within the ORSAA database (ODEB), focusing on the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields and radia...

Comment on Karipidis et al. review on 5G mobile networks and health-a state-of-the-science review

The fifth generation of radiofrequency communication , 5G, is currently being rolled out worldwide. Since September 2017, the EU 5G Appeal has been sent six times to the EU, requesting a moratorium on the rollout of 5G. This article reviews the 5G Appeal and the EU's subsequent replies, including the extensive cover letter sent to the EU in Septemb...

Professor Yuri G. Grigoriev (PhD, DMedSci), was one of ORSAA’s independent advisors. He had been a vocal critic of the ICNIRP approach in the setting of exposure limits for RF-EMF guidelines. Grigoriev was a giant in the science of Radiobiology in Russia, and the breadth and depth of his understanding of the interactions between biology and physics...

This article discusses the need to raise a medical discussion on the health risks of wireless technology, particularly about new 5G that is lacking in the Australia - New Zealand region at present. It presents some evidence for the concerns raised in the global scientific community.

This article addresses the currently lacking medical discussion on the safety of the new fifth generation wireless (5G) and the need to start one with input from medical scientists and clinicians given the scientific evidence of biological/health effects some of which is highlighted.

This paper addresses the scientific evidence of biological/health impacts of microwave range radiofrequency radiation and the lack of safety testing for 5G wireless technology.

This case study presents the flipped classroom (FC) as a framework for a large first-year fundamental engineering practice course (ENGG1200). The aim was to develop student engineers who would leave the course with both the required academic knowledge of materials engineering and the practitioner skills required to apply this knowledge to real-worl...

The quality of student learning depends largely on how well we design our curriculum and the pedagogies we use within this curriculum. A successful Flipped Classroom (FC) is no exception: to engage students and ensure learning requires carefully considered design and implementation. This chapter teases out, and more closely examines, the key critic...

At a general level we would argue that programmes [of study] should be designed and systematically reviewed according to … the processes through which learners are made ready for, approach, recognise, and internalise threshold concepts.

The relational complexity framework reveals that under the traditional teaching method for TEC, nine different concepts are being combined, thus overtaxing the working memory of students. Methods for reducing relational complexity all incorporate chunking of several related cognitive units into more complex wholes, and sequential rather than parall...

CONTEXT A large first year engineering flipped classroom course involving intensive project work was designed with the aim of providing students with experiences of theory integrated with both practice and professional skills. Integration of these three skillsets can be met by enacting a situated cogntion learning framework, which requires a cognit...

CONTEXT Over the past 3 years, students in the first year common course: Engineering Modelling and Problem Solving, have engaged in collaborative discussions of engineering materials concepts through the use of an online tool called " MOOCchat ". The MOOCchat tool is an online variation of the typical peer instruction protocol (Mazur, 1997) whereby...

This chapter describes a consistent view of executive control. It offers evidence that a major function of an executive is to support relational processing involved in planning, reasoning and comprehension. Humans are generally limited to relating four variables in a cognitive representation, though a minority of adults can relate five variables. T...

This study aimed to create an understanding of how Engineering students use online lecture recordings (Lectopia) as a part of their learning toolkit, so as to better assist staff concerned about the possible negative consequences of introducing Lectopia into their course. Online surveys were given to third year civil and chemical Engineering studen...

According to cognitive complexity and control (CCC) theory complexity depends on number of levels of a hierarchy of rules. According to relational complexity (RC) theory complexity is a function of the number of related variables in the task, and the most difficult tasks are those in which there is a constraint on decomposition into simpler subtask...

The Relcon algorithm models category formation using relational storage and retrieval mechanisms with a Tensor memory. Relcon settles on a category structure that matches prototypicality characteristics of human categories. A tensor intersection operation simulates the influence of context on category structure and on similarity. The results have i...

The conceptual complexity of problems was manipulated to probe the limits of human information processing capacity. Participants were asked to interpret graphically displayed statistical interactions. In such problems, all independent variables need to be considered together, so that decomposition into smaller subtasks is constrained, and thus the...

New concepts from cognitive science have fundamentally changed our view of cognitive development. In this paper we explore the implications of three concepts from cognitive science. These are learning (and induction), analogy, and capacity. New conceptions of learning have enabled us to understand how representations of the world are acquired. New...
