#Emergencies inspire new apps to answer crisis calls Like many residents of Nairobi in Kenya,

Yet it is only during emergencies that we realise how precious this connection is to our lives.

and share vital news during emergencies be armed it attacks or natural disasters. Early signs suggest that the rise in mobile phone ownership is beginning to mitigate the impact of emergencies and natural disasters.

Last year saw the lowest number of deaths and people affected by disasters for a decade, according to the 2013 World Disasters Report from the International Federation of Red cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

And in the US, Wireless Emergency Alerts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency now warn people of severe weather and other hazards

and ell broadcasttechnology to send emergency alerts to phones in areas at risk of flooding or industrial accidents.

Ping, still being tested, is a free check in service for groups during an emergency. It shares some features with apps such as I Okay

It not the only new app helping friends and family stay connected during emergencies. For times when victims need to reach people discreetly as was the case for those hiding inside Westgate Mall an app built by Nairobi-based Usalama Innovative Systems may be more suitable.

When activated, it sends an alert to both your family and a private security company, with a location and the discreet isten infeature.

In the developing world, exploiting technologies that people can access easily in an emergency makes sense. s it is clear technology has reached not everyone equally,

It is impossible to prevent many emergencies and natural disasters from happening, but by becoming better connected, there are promising signs that we can cope better in a crisis

Credit enhancement A key principle of green banks is that they use public dollars strategically to reduce perceived risks for private investors in undertaking investments in clean energy projects.

State green banks should employ a range of credit-enhancement mechanisms from establishing loan-loss reserve funds to originating subordinated debt into individual transactions and developing new insurance products or other risk-mitigation strategies.

#Safe to fly A fresh way of analysing security information is being developed with the help of Heathrow Airport.

and offers security experts a single interface to see what is happening on the ground.

Andy Cowen, Security Development Manager at Heathrow, described the new technology:""The TASS system is a new way of taking data

and monitor these systems on an ongoing basis."The airport operator programmes the system to make connections between data sources and highlight potential threats in real time.

"If there is an emerging threat the alert will be shown in real time. Different alerts will be displayed with different colours representing different risk levels,

red is high risk. The other screens can show different information, for example there is a 3d visualisation, all the terminal,

indoor and outdoor, is modelled by one of our technological partners.""The TASS test sensors at Heathrow monitor everything from cargo to car parks added Hazzani:"

"The system-conceived in an EU research project-is designed to complement existing airport security systems already in place e

potential threat warnings would trickle down from authorities to those living in areas at risk.

Citizens such as volunteer flood wardens in the UK or civil protection volunteers in Italy can help by taking measurements using new apps currently being developed by the project

#Massive study closes in on cancers risk markers Cancer research has taken a huge leap forward with scientists now able to identify more than 80 genetic markers found to increase the risk of breast ovarian and prostate cancer.

which has played a significant part in making this global effort a tremendous success. The main findings of the project COGS('Collaborative Oncological Gene-Environment Study')have been published in a special issue on genetic risk factors

and those without, to assess each individual's inherited risk. Overall, the study found that common genetic variation links all these cancers.

Each alteration was seen to raise the risk of ovarian, breast or prostate cancer by a small amount,

although a small minority of men with several markers saw their risk of prostate cancer increase more than fourfold.

Results of the studies on women revealed that with certain spelling mistakes the risk of breast cancer,

In addition, the test also identified those with a smaller than average risk of developing the cancers.

'With this new information, researchers now have a clearer picture of the total number of genetic changes that can explain the risk of getting these cancers.

The next step is to calculate the individual cancer risk, which will help to better understand how these cancers start

'COGS is the largest genotyping project in the world targeting identification of genetic changes that influence the risk of common cancers.

and the key to its success.'Other financial contributors to the COGS project are the Märit and Hans Rausing Initiative against Breast cancer, the Swedish Research Council, Cancer Research UK and the Cancer Risk Prediction

resulting in the emergency being dealt successfully with, "says Thielen del Pozo.""Our mission is to give an overview,

to inform the National water authorities and international civil protection services a little bit earlier, so they are prepared

and provide clinicians with currently unavailable information about the risk of metastatic relapse and the best therapy.

or that it shows there is no risk. In 2011, the World health organization classified the kind of low energy radiation that cell phones emit as"possibly carcinogenic"because of a link between cell phone use and a type of malignant brain tumor called glioma and a benign brain tumor called acoustic neuroma.

Although THE WHO classification sounds ominous, it puts cell phones on the same level of cancer risk as caffeine and pickled vegetables.

had 40%to 70%higher glioma risk.""There are individual studies and findings that do produce a risk,

but on balance the judgment has to be made on the totality (of the evidence), "Savitz said,

"We know quite a bit (about the risk) actually and it seems extremely unlikely that there is an effect.

We are down to the range that there is no risk or a risk that is almost too small to detect,

"Savitz said. Although Samet, THE WHO panel leader, agrees that we probably know the risk is not great,

he still thinks it could exist.""I think if it were terribly large, we would have more consistent results from epidemiological data.

These pictures are compatible with perhaps a weak or moderate risk, "he said. Another argument against the possibility that cell phones cause cancer is that there has not been an increase in the incidence of brain tumors in the United states,

Savitz said that it is difficult to imagine how this type of exposure could put people at risk.

whether there is a risk, he said. Another question is whether cell phone use affects the health of children,

because the team earlier research had shown that a lack of parental nurturing is an important risk factor for recurrence of depression.

Luby group also found that school age children had a high risk of depression if their mothers were depressed.

And they noted that children diagnosed with a conduct disorder as preschoolers had elevated an risk of depression by school age and early adolescence,

but this risk declined if the children were found to have significant maternal support. But neither a mother with depression nor a conduct disorder in preschool increased the risk for later depression as much as a diagnosis of depression during preschool years. reschool depression predicted school age depression over and above any of the other well-established risk factors,

OMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT DEPRESSIONWHEN the researchers adjusted for factors such as marital status, education, employment status, family income, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, smoking status, body mass, functional limitations,

and chronic conditions, they still found an independent association among major depression and increased risk of non-suicide mortality among the age group.

This includes findings that major depression was associated with 2. 68 times the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality among those who did not have cardiovascular disease at the baseline.

but it also important because it stands as an independent risk factor in mortality. There might be something unique about depression,
