'Brain haemorrhage' SMS causes panic in Kenya

A text message being sent around claims 27 people have died after picking up calls from numbers listed in the SMS

Kenya's telecommunications regulator on Wednesday told mobile phone users to ignore swirling rumours that receiving calls from some numbers appearing in red can cause brain haemorrhage.
A text message sent around since late Tuesday and seen by AFP said 27 people had died after they picked up calls from numbers listed in the SMS.

"Please inform all your friends and relatives soon, it's urgent," read the text.
But the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) said the message should be dismissed.
"Upon analysis of the messages, the commission has established the warnings are a hoax generated by unscrupulous people bent on causing fear and despondency among members of the public," a statement said.

"In addition, the alleged haemorrhage due to high frequency has no technical basis whatsoever."
The CEO of Kenya's largest mobile phone company Michael Joseph said the text message was "a popular urban myth that has been perpetuated, especially in some Asian markets."

Kulipuka kwa betri hakutokani na mionzi wala sms, ni hizi betri tunazozitumia zenye viwango duni vya ubora.

CAUSES
Intracerebral bleeds are the second most common cause of stroke, accounting for 30–60% of hospital admissions for stroke. High blood pressure raises the risk of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage by two to six times. More common in adults than in children, intraparenchymal bleeds due to trauma are usually due to penetrating head trauma, but can also be due to depressed skull fractures, some may experience intense headaches. They may also go in to a coma before the bleed is noticed. A hit to the head or fracture to the skull may also cause this bleed. acceleration-deceleration trauma,rupture of an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and bleeding within a tumor. A very small proportion is due to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

hii kitu ipo kitaalam inaitwa '' SUN OUTAGE'' kinachotokea hapa ni kuwa kuna mahali wakati dunia inajizungusha kwemye mhimili wake mionzi ya jua inakuwa sambamba na satellite, hivyo kuna matatizo hujipokeza ikiwa ni pamoja na kuharibu mfumo mzima wa mawasiliano, ambapo muathirika ni mtumiaji wa simu.

 

[Edson]

Uvumi kama upepo

Sidhani kama 'Sun Outage' ni tatizo linaloweza kumpotezea maisha mtumiaji wa simu ya mkononi!

SUN OUTAGES MAY DISRUPT SERVICE
FSM Telecommunications Corporation (FSMTC) would like to inform all customers that you may experience brief disruptions in service in March due to a seasonal technical phenomenon called "sun outage." For a period of about two weeks, the sun causes "solar interference" to all geostationary satellite signals. The outage could disrupt calls to and from places within the FSM.

Sun outage interference to satellite-based telephone and internet service typically occur during the months of February/March and September/October. Each outage could last for up to 15 minutes, although the actual window of time the outages occur will vary depending on specific satellite and earth station locations. The effects of a sun outage vary throughout the 15 day period. The interference will gradually decrease once it reaches its peak and become less noticeable each day after.

Unfortunately, there is technically nothing we can do to prevent sun outages from occurring. Each satellite service that we receive signals from will experience this interference at predictable times. Outages will usually occur from late-morning to mid-afternoon, depending on the time of year and satellites affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
