Vulnerability analysis and sustainable rehabilitation strategies for mangrove ecosystems in Bedono coastal area, Central Java.

Mangrove ecosystems in Bedono Village, Demak Regency, Central Java, are seriously degraded due to aggressive coastal abrasion, extreme soil salinity (45‰-80‰), and failure of previous rehabilitation programmes. This study aims to assess the level of vulnerability of mangrove habitat and formulate an integrated rehabilitation strategy that includes ecological and institutional aspects. Data were collected through tidal analysis, measurement of sediment texture and soil salinity, identification of plankton and macrobenthos diversity, and analysis of mangrove species community structure.

Complex Indirect Carotid-Cavernous Fistula With Contralateral Ophthalmic Manifestations.

A carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) involves an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. For indirect CCF, it usually occurs in post-menopausal women. Contralateral symptoms for indirect CCF are rare.

The effect of salinity on the interaction between microplastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and microalgae Spirulina sp.

The increasing use of plastic over the last few decades has had an impact of plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Plastic pollutions may be in the form of microplastics either from primary or secondary sources. These microplastics will indirectly affect human health through the food chain.

Interactions between polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics and sp. microalgae in aquatic systems.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of microplastics on sp., the pigment phycocyanin in sp., and the effect of sp.

Interaction between Styrofoam and Microalgae in Brackish Water System.

Styrofoam is a thermoplastic with special characteristics; it is an efficient insulator, is extremely lightweight, absorbs trauma, is bacteria resistant, and is an ideal packaging material, compared to other thermoplastics. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction between Styrofoam and . The study examined the growth of under Styrofoam stress, changes in Styrofoam functional groups, and their interactions.
