Abstract Vitamin D insufficiency is a worldwide problem that likely underestimated since physical symptoms may only be apparent in individuals with severe deficiencies. Previously, people South Asian countries were thought to vitamin sufficient because of plentiful sunshine, but has also been reported these countries. In country like Bangladesh, living the rural and urban parts can have considerable differences their sun exposure, types clothing worn, levels air pollution. This pilot study aimed explore status (measured by serum 25[OH]D) healthy Bangladeshi examine association 25(OH)D concentration calcium alkaline phosphatase concentrations. A total 101 apparently adult individuals, aged 20–58 years, enrolled from both areas.

Mangroves, the distinctive coastal ecosystems of tropics and sub-tropics, serve as crucial intersections between terrestrial marine environments. In this review, we delve into manifold roles mangroves, showcasing their significance in environmental engineering sustainable ecosystem practices. Historically undervalued, mangroves have undergone a renaissance perception, with increasing recognition indispensable ecological services, ranging from protection blue carbon sequestration to fostering biodiversity supporting fisheries. As explore potential phytoremediation, bioremediation, urban resilience, ecosystem-based adaptation, synergistic relationships resident microorganisms are highlighted, offering innovative avenues for restoration. Additionally, review underscores importance collaborative partnerships mangrove conservation, emphasizing need harmonized approach stakeholders. an era marked by rapid changes, accentuates multifunctional capability nature's architects, advocating conservation integration management strategies.

The Madura Strait region is an area with high community activity and population density within East Java Province. This also known as the estuary of several major rivers, resulting in a relatively well-preserved mangrove ecosystem.This study aims to evaluate impact ecosystem using Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) software. analysis focused on Coastal Exposure Index (CEI) under scenarios prcenses od habitats. CEI results categorized coastline into four vulnerability classes: Low, Moderate, High, Critical. this indicate that categories primarily fall Low category, covering 324.51 km (48.98% total length). Critical High span 117.97 30.71 km, respectively, accounting for 17.81% 4.64%. regions highest are Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Pamekasan, Sampang. primary factors influencing these areas wave exposure elevation region. It noted ecosystems play significant role, coastlines have dense cover exhibiting lower levels.
