Metabolisme glukos meningkat di bahagian hampir antena
CHICAGO: Tempoh 50 minit untuk bercakap menerusi telefon bimbit yang dilekapkan di telinga, sudah cukup bagi menukar aktiviti sel otak yang paling hampir dengan antenanya.
Bagaimanapun, saintis di Institut Kesihatan Kebangsaan (NIH), berkata sama ada keadaan ini akan menyebabkan sebarang kerosakan belum dapat dipastikan. Ia juga dijangka tidak dapat menyelesaikan kebimbangan dan andaian bahawa penggunaan telefon bimbit mempunyai kaitan dengan penyakit barah otak.
Apa yang dapat kami lihat ialah metabolisme glukos meningkat di dalam otak seseorang yang terdedah dengan telefon bimbit dan paling ketara di bahagian yang paling hampir dengan antena telefon bimbit itu,” kata pakar NIH, Dr Nora Volkow. Penyelidikan beliau diterbitkan di Jurnal Persatuan Perubatan Amerika.
Kajian yang dijalankan bertujuan mengenal pasti reaksi otak terhadap medan elektromagnetik yang berpunca daripada isyarat telefon tanpa wayar.
Volkow berkata, beliau terkejut dengan bukti bahawa radiasi elektromagnetik yang lemah dari telefon bimbit boleh menjejaskan aktiviti otak, tetapi kajian itu tidak memberi jawapan sama ada penggunaan telefon bimbit menyebabkan barah.
“Kajian itu tidak memberi petunjuk sedemikian. Apa yang dilakukan kajian ini ialah untuk menunjukkan bahawa otak manusia adalah sensitif kepada radiasi elektromagnetik akibat penggunaan telefon bimbit.
Penggunaan telefon bimbit meningkat secara dramatik sejak peranti itu diperkenalkan pada awal hingga pertengahan 1980-an dan kini 5 bilion telefon bimbit digunakan di seluruh dunia.
Sesetengah kajian menga-itkan penggunaan telefon bimbit dengan peningkatan penyakit barah otak tetapi kajian yang dijalankan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) tidak dapat memberi keputusan muktamad.
Pasukan Volkow membuat kajian ke atas 47 orang yang menjalani imbasan ketika telefon bimbit digunakan selama 50 minit, manakala satu kumpulan lagi diimbas ketika telefon bimbit dimatikan. – Reuters

Apa Tak Kena
Maaf, tidak sempat untuk menterjemahkan kandungan artikel yang ingin dikongsi bersama kepada pembaca.
Tulisan ini adalah tulisan Dr Alizi Alias Jabatan Psikologi UIA tentang perkara-perkara mengapa kita harus mengislamisasikan ilmu psikologi.
Sememangnya kita harus mengambil ilmu dari sumur yang suci kerana ia akan menyelaputi urat nadi kita. Moga ada yang tercerah.
Why do we need to Islamise psychology? Can’t we just accept whatever comes from the West? Or can’t we just reject Western psychology altogether?
We should Islamise Western Psychology in order to revise and change the unIslamic aqidah (philosophical and ideological) aspects i.e. atheistic/materialiastic concepts propagated by secular psychology (e.g. psychodynamic, behavioural, humanistic, biological, and cognitive perspectives)
We should Islamise Western Psychology because it was developed to solve the problems of Western society i.e. the emergence of natural and social sciences is due to the protest toward the narrow-minded church authorities back then. Therefore it content is not only antagonistic to religion but also irrelevant to the Muslim society. Muslims should be ashamed because even the European psychologists criticise the Americanisation of psychology. This leads to the emergence of a sub-discipline called cross-cultural psychology.
We should Islamise Western Psychology because some of the methods and practices of experimental psychology can be Islamically immoral, unethical and degrading to human being e.g. in sex research, animal research, therapy with client/patient of the opposite sex.
We should Islamise Western Psychology the Western Psychology sometimes failed to serve the West itself and being criticised even by Western scholars e.g. Sarason’s “Psychology Misdirected”, Kender’s “Psychology in Conflict”, and Eysenck’s three books “Use and Abuse of Psychology”, “Sense and Nonsense in Psychology”, and “Fact and Fictions in Psychology.” Freud’s criticism of sexual repression has now lead to an extreme sexual expression where new psychological disorders and sexual diseases had emerged.
We should Islamise in order to carry out our greatest mission of helping the world to develop a more balanced view of human nature. In addition to biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, we should include spiritual factor too.
We should Islamise in order to rewrite the history of modern psychology showing the greatest contribution of early Muslim scholars e.g. Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Al-Farabi, Al-Kindi, Al-Balkhi, Al-Muhasibi, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Taimiyyah, Ibn Tufayl, Ibn al-Haytham, etc. These great thinkers were either ignored or their ideas and theories were taken by Western psychologists without credit. During the Dark Age Europe, Muslims are in their Golden Age.
We should Islamise to make psychology a useful subject and to make it services suited to the needs of Muslim subjects and clients. Scientific research results from Western sample may not be generalised to Muslims population. Examples and illustrations in Western psychology book e.g. on dating, kissing, homosexuality may not be suitable to Muslim readers and students.
Reminder:
Good Muslim psychologists are selective. They refuse anti-Islamic theories and practices of Western psychology but they can use psychological techniques and technologies to improve human Islamic life.
Do we have more reasons not to Islamise psychology (or any other social sciences for that matters)?
Yours Islamically and psychologically,
