Abstract: Background: Microplastics are plastic particles with micro (<5 mm). Its small size and long durability cause microplastics to potentially accumulate in the bodies of living things so that they can endanger the health of aquatic life. This study aims to analyze the level of microplastic pollution in Pelangan Village, West Lombok.
Materials and Methods: The microplastic pollution test was carried out by collecting water samples, sediment samples, and samples of marine biota (gastropods) from three different locations, then extracted using the density separation method. The extracted microplastics were observed using a reverse microscope to identify the shape and color characteristics of the microplastic particles.......

Keywords: Gastropods; Microplastics; Pelangan Village; Plastic Waste.

Abstract: The quality of coastal aquatic ecosystems is increasingly affected by anthropogenic activities such as tourism, aquaculture, and land-based runoff. Phytoplankton, as primary producers and sensitive biological indicators, play a crucial role in detecting changes in water quality. This study aimed to assess the diversity and abundance of phytoplankton in the coastal waters of Mandalika, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, using conventional microscopic methods. Sampling was conducted in April 2024 at three coastal sites—Kuta Beach, Tanjung Aan Beach, and Gerupuk Beach—representing coral reef and seagrass ecosystems........

KeyWord: Phytoplankton ; Bioindicator; Mandalika; Coastal Ecosystem; Water Quality.

Abstract: Background: Este artigo investiga as relações entre o isomorfismo coercitivo e a governança ambiental, sob uma lente integradora que combina a Teoria Institucional com elementos da Teoria Sistêmica. Materials and Methods: Por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura realizada na base Web of Science (2020–2025), foram selecionados 15 artigos que abordam diretamente essas interações, compondo um corpus analítico explorado qualitativamente. A análise foi estruturada em três categorias: (i) pressões coercitivas e conformidade estratégica; (ii) fragilidade institucional e adoção simbólica; e (iii) convergência sistêmica e governança multiescalar.

Abstract: The search for minimally invasive procedures for rejuvenation and improvement of sagging in the genital region has grown significantly in recent years. Among the emerging technologies, the use of plate cryolipolysis associated with microcurrent has stood out as an innovative approach for the treatment of sagging. We seek to validate the safety and efficacy of the technique in external labial sagging, contributing to the advancement of intimate rejuvenation techniques.........

Abstract: Background: The nutritional quality of fruit and vegetables plays an important role in promoting good health. However, concerns have emerged in Côte d'Ivoire about the artificial ripening of plantains - an increasingly common practice that may pose food safety risks. Despite its growing prevalence, this issue remains underexplored in local research. Aim of the study: This study aimed to assess the comparative effects of artificial ripening - using calcium carbide (CaC₂) and ethephon - versus........
