Abstract
The pervasive integration of mobile phones into daily life raises significant concerns regarding their potential impact during critical developmental periods, particularly pregnancy. This academic paper explores the adverse effects of excessive maternal mobile phone use on newborn cognitive development, examining both direct and indirect mechanisms. Drawing on existing literature, the paper discusses how electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by mobile devices may directly influence fetal brain development, while indirect factors such as maternal stress, sleep disruption, and reduced physical activity, often associated with excessive screen time, can also significantly impact neuro developmental trajectories. Evidence suggests potential links to attention deficits, language delays, and socio-emotional challenges in infants. The paper also addresses methodological challenges in research and proposes areas for future investigation and a precautionary approach to mobile phone use during pregnancy.

Abstract
Digital irrigation will be an efficient and effective way of controlling water to support and sustain water management for the crops and for better farming purposes. An innovative digital irrigation using Dynamo Pump has the potential to maintain the desired level of water and supply the needed amount of water for normal plant growth which is not currently available for the crops. This system if developed could possibly reduce over water application and wastages. Such system will be control and irrigate the water needed by the crops automatically 24 hours as per consumed by the plants and as well as environmental support such as evaporation will sustained and returned it back to the setted level point. The system will be used highly programmable arduinouno, solenoid valve and digital water level sensor to measure and sustain the irrigation water for crops growth. Every time the water drawdown from the set level point that detect by the digital water level sensor will be sent information to the arduinouno and it will instruct the Dynamo pump to pump up and irrigate water automatically as well as the solenoid valve will be automatically open. By using the system, it will be able to maintain and sustained the water needed by the crops regardless of changes or growth on the plant and environmental condition.
