Curcumin and its Anti-Cancer Properties: Kitchen to the Laboratory
Authors: Karak Prithviraj , Modak Anindya
Published: February 2023

Curcumin is a naturally derived hydrophobic polyphenolic compound extracted from the rhizome (turmeric) of the herb Curcumalonga. It has been used as a common Indian spice in the form of turmeric since time immemorial. Curcumin is an active ingredient ofturmeric and has been found to have many health benefits.Our main aim is to highlight curcumin's biological activity and anti-cancer properties.Curcumin is a bright yellow-colored substance; curcumin plays a vital role in anti-cancer therapy by suppressing cell proliferationand metastasis. Curcumin has regulatory effects on secondary signaling molecules and the further downstream process leading toregulation of transcription factors like nuclear factor-kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cell or NF-kB. Cancer cells have enhancedtelomerase activity; therefore, their DNA never shortens due to the loss of telomeres. Curcumin initiates p53 protein-dependent andprotein-independent G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Curcumin has plenty of targets like growth factor receptors (Epidermal GrowthFactor Receptor or EGFR), enzymes, and cytokines. Curcumin has poor bioavailability due to its low solubility in water (0.0004mg/mL atnormal pH 7) and hence produces poor effects when administered orally. Curcumin also produces toxicity in patients when consumedin high concentrations.The 21st century is the age of technology. We see that nanotechnology has enabled us to design curcumin-encapsulated, which reducesits bulk size and brings it within 100 nm. Particles like liposomes (phospholipid vesicles), polymer micelles, SLNs, and microspheresare some drug target delivery systems that can solve problems of transporting curcumin. Nanocurcumins can also be extracted frompure curcumin without any carriers. It is under clinical trial where curcumin has been used as an adjuvant with other chemical agentsto control the spread of cancer.

Authors: Roy Amit
Published: February 2023

Visceral leishmaniasis or Kala-Azar is a neglected tropical disease caused by the unicellular kinetoplastid parasite Leishmania donovani.The treatments available have various shortcomings like toxicity and high cost. The development of resistance in the strains makes thetreatment less effective. Hence, there is a need for new and better treatments. DNA topoisomerases are a group of enzymes presentubiquitously in all organisms from unicellular protozoan parasites to humans. These enzymes control the cell's topological problemscaused by DNA double helix during nucleic acid metabolism. However, the leishmanial topoisomerase (LdTOPILS) is very differentfrom the human topoisomerase in structure, expression, and function. Therefore, LdTOPILS acts as a potent target for newer drugs. Adiverse range of compounds has been developed to date against Leishmanial topoisomerases. This review article describes Leishmaniatopoisomerase enzyme's structural and catalytic activity and Topo-targeted antileishmanial drug development. Therefore, this reviewarticle would be beneficial for researchers to understand the structure-function relationship of topoisomerases with their targetedinhibitors.

Genetic polymorphism: evolution with technological advances and future direction
Authors: Ray Basu Barnali , Pal Randrita , Samaddar Ankita , Chackraborty Sanchari
Published: February 2023

Background:
Genetic polymorphisms emerge as one of the major contributing factors behind the variability in disease development and pathogenesis as well as drug response in individuals. Fortunately, in the last few decades, a range of technological advancements eased the way for polymorphic studies to reveal the association between genetic polymorphisms like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) and human diseases. Starting from Mendelian inheritance to recent Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies not only helped to understand human disease biology better, but also paved the way towards personalised therapy by studying individual drug/therapy responses based on genetic makeup (mutation/variant) of individuals.    
Method:
Literature mining from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Medline databases using keywords like ‘polymorphism’, ‘genetic polymorphism’, ‘SNP’, ‘VNTR’, ‘CNV’.  
Result:
The massively parallel sequencing capability of the NGS facilitates clinicians towards therapeutic decisions and aids follow-up of patients by identifying minimal residual disease. However, this is just the beginning of the era of targeted and personalised therapy and the scientific world, only able to touch the tip of the iceberg, much focus is needed to develop more user-friendly and cost-effective technologies to reach more patients along with the development of much simpler and robust statistical methodologies to handle or interpret big data.

Authors: Ghosh Jagannath , Ghosh Pratiti , Sahu Subhashis
Published: February 2023

Manual agricultural task is an accident prone task in the harsh working environment, with occupation related health problem and injuries. They are exposed to extensive usage of primitive tools, bearing awkward working postures, handling of chemicals during long working hours. This study thus aims at studying the prevalence of occupational injury of vegetable cultivators in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal.
A cross-sectional study on 181 male vegetable cultivators using traditional and/or modern agricultural techniques was conducted using predesigned survey questionnaire and direct observation of the mode of work. It was observed that 68% of mechanized workers and 86% of traditional workers suffered from cut accident (p<0.05). Traditional workers are more prone to occupational injuries like cut, fracture, sprain injury, etc. rather than mechanized cultivators, hinting at reduced work performance. Ergonomic interventions viz., natural working posture, work-rest schedule and optimization of body movements are required to reduce the prevalent accident frequency.

Published: February 2023

In order to improve (re)production, the tissue specific expression profile of gene(s) involved in the various stages of reproduction should be studied thoroughly. For the same, Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of target genes in various biological samples could fulfil the aim. Various published literatures are evidence that the qRT-PCR technique is one of the most widely used and practical methods for detecting gene expression levels. In this technique, the use of housekeeping or reference gene acts as a calibrator, plays a vital role for quantification of mRNA expression levels of target gene in order to achieve objective and reliable findings. Housekeeping genes are responsible for the maintenance of basic cellular activities that are required for a cell's existence, regardless of the cell's specialised role in the tissue or organism. However, designing of primers and optimization of PCR conditions for a housekeeping gene was required to study the function of various other genes in buffalo endometrium. Therefore, the present study was aimed to optimize the β-actin gene as a housekeeping gene that stably expresses in the buffalo uterine endometrium, and establish β-actin gene primers for qRT-PCR technique.

Authors: Chakraborty Ipsita , Chattopadhyay Ratna , Haldar Rajen , Chakravarty Baidyanath , Chakraborty Pratip
Published: February 2023

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the commonest form of dysovulatoy infertility is a major form of heterogeneous endocrinopathy comprised of broad spectra of ovarian disorders including anovulation, hyperandrogenism with trademark features of metabolic syndrome (MS) like insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidemia. Hyperhomocysteinemia, a close associate of MS and an increasingly frequent finding among PCOS women in India, poses a possible threat to these individuals with recurrent miscarriage. Micro-thrombi formation in hyperhomocysteinemic PCOS women cues toward the development of a “thrombophilic syndrome” in these women with its possible culmination in coronary artery disease later in life. However, pathophysiology of hyperhomocysteinemia in the context of PCOS and its far-reaching consequences remains unexplored.

A Study on the Application of Dynamic Risk Assessment in Chemical Process Industries
Authors: P. P Mithun , S. George Amal , Panchal Meet
Published: February 2023

In conventional Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) process it is unable to use the accident precursor information to revise the risk profile. One of the main disadvantages is its inability to update the risk during the life of a process. Dynamic risk assessment can be used to overcome this disadvantage. Dynamic risk assessment refers to a risk management framework where frequent updates of risk evaluation information are used to evaluate the risk outcome. This uses accident precursors such as near misses and incidents to estimate likelihood of all possible end states while conventional QRA uses on static basis considering only major accidents and events. So these updated risk profiles which results from dynamic risk assessment can lead to more accurate decision making. In this paper the dynamic risk assessment methodology is discussed in detail. First, potential accident scenarios are identified and represented in terms of an event tree, next, using the event tree and available failure data, end state probabilities are estimated. Subsequently, using the available accident precursor data, safety system failure likelihood and event tree end state probabilities are revised. Finally, the updated probabilities are used in revising the risk profile of the process system. It is more useful in chemical process industries as well as nuclear, aerospace and aviation industries where there is high likely hood of occurrence or several losses. In this research, the significance of dynamic risk assessment is demonstrated with respect to hydrocarbon storage tanks

Published: February 2023

Fuel Oil (BBM) is a commodity that plays a vital role in all economic activities. The direct impact of this change in oil prices is a change in operating costs that results in the level of profit of direct investment activities occurring. In simple terms, the purpose of investing is to maximize prosperity through the maximization of profits, and investors always try to invest in efficient and safe investments. The increase in fuel prices not only increases the burden on small communities in general but also for the business world in particular. The surge in the price of Mintak Fuel (BBM) is considered to have a real effect on economic conditions in Indonesia. High oil prices turned out to be unfavorable to the economy of any country in Asia, including Indonesia. The increase in fuel prices in Indonesia is not only caused by the high increase in world oil prices, but also due to the domestic undersupply when compared to its demand. The amount of fuel subsidies such as in Indonesia, which can drain the state budget, is also considered as an excuse for the government to increase fuel prices in the country. The impact on various industrial sectors can lead to high production and operating costs. Moreover, of course, this increase in fuel prices will also have exponential implications for Indonesia's macroeconomic fundamentals.
Phyticism of the Painting of Wayang Kamasan: the Struggle of Distribution Structure and Order Idealism in Fulfilling Needs Tourism Industry
Authors: Mudana I Wayan , Wirakesuma I Nengah
Published: February 2023

Phytism is an expression of the thoughts of capitalist society to produce duplicating ideas so that producing similar merchandise can generate economic benefits in the form of money. The timeless symbols of the great and noble tradition of wayang Kamasan painting are commodified into physical art, resulting in a struggle between the idealism of a structure that is binding and standard with the idealism of an order that deifies money. Commodification is a feature of capitalism which is able to transform objects, qualities and signs into commodities to be distributed to the market. Commodities that are distributed to the market are the consumption idealism of the tourism industry. The order practice of capitalist society that works in the realm of habitus and the capital and networks that have been built is very broad. Capital relates to the ability to duplicate, while the network seeks to distribute consumer needs with producers. The physical product of the tourism industry which is distributed to the market is in the form of market paintings, handicrafts and souvenirs. To analyze physical aesthetics, the struggle for order structure, and the production of physicalism, theories and methods are used, namely: commodification theory, cultural-industry physicalism theory, and social practice theory. Discussion: The distribution of ethical ethics discusses; capital (money power), habitus (capital society's desire), image and media. Conclusion: Kamasan wayang painting has been made into a physical art alienated from capital society to get money from the tourism industry. The form of fististic art is obscured into a similar new creativity, interchanging the structure of struggle for order and mass production. Findings: Phitism of wayang Kamasan painting is barter oriented to make money.

This study aimed to understand the impact of integrated business reports on the continuity of companies considering the Corona pandemic. To achieve the goal of this study, we got the industrial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange as a community and a sample of them. We got the data from the financial statements of the 33 companies published on the stock exchange website quarterly for the period (from 2018 to 2020): which covers two periods: the first before the COVID-19 pandemic and the second during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used the macro process analysis to analyze data, evaluated the integrated business report (independent variable) by giving to the disclosed item (1) and the undisclosed item (0): and the going concern (dependent variable) by Altman equation, finally COVID-19 pandemic (modified variable) by Dummy variable. The positive impact of integrated business reports is an ongoing concern, and the negative impact of the Corona pandemic ongoing concern, and when the Corona pandemic serves as a modifier on the relationship between integrated business reports and going concern, the impact of integrated business reports ongoing concern has become negative considering the Corona pandemic. Companies enhance their integrated reports on the risks they may face and develop strategic plans for crisis management at all levels (short-term, mid-term, and long-term) in the future.

This investigation aims to study the formulation of emulgel preparations of secnidazole (SZ, The variables in the composition of the oleaginous phase (liquid paraffin and castor oil) and humectants (propylene glycol and glycerol) and the physical and rheological properties like homogeneity, spreadability, and extrudability were studied. Variations in the viscosity of SZ emulgels were observed due to changes in formulations. The viscosity was central to the stability of the SZ emulgel preparations. SZ is a photosensitive drug, and irradiation formed its primary photodegraded product 2,4-(N-2-hydroxypropyl) diaza-3-methyl-1-nitro-1,5-dione. SZ has been subjected to photolysis by irradiation, and the clear first-order rate constant, kobs, for the degradation of SZ has been determined. The values of kobs (2.79-5.12 × 10-2 min-1) have decreased with the increase in viscosity (20085-29985 cP) of emulgel preparations. The ratio of stabilization is in the range of 2.31-4.22. It is concluded that increasing the viscosity of pharmaceutical preparations may enhance the photostability of light-sensitive drugs.

Authors: Khel Folad Amar , Bangash Romana , Khan Hanana , Mansoor Ihsanullah
Published: February 2023

This article aims to investigate the association between gender board diversity and the dividend payout policy of the firms listed on the Pakistan stock exchange. The study uses critical mass theoretical assumptions to explain this relationship. The study uses a sample of 300 non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan stock exchange for six years (2015–2020). The study employs regression diagnostics tests to check for Heteroscedasticity, Multicollinearity, and Serial Correlation problems. The random effects regression model was chosen using a series of steps to analyze the associations among variables. The results conclude that one woman on the corporate board is positively associated with dividend payout, while a negative relationship has been examined in firms with more than one woman on their board. The inclusion of women on the corporate board is critical to the firms, and the policymakers are suggested to restructure the regulatory codes regarding gender board diversity in Pakistan. This paper focuses precisely on critical mass theoretical lenses to observe the association between gender board diversity and dividend payout. Concluding the significant influence of women on corporate boards, the theoretical foundation is justified.

Education is evolving every second, and so are the instructional materials. However, the video materials continue to be one of the most interesting and effective teaching tools in higher education. They not only help students learn by seeing it visually in their own convenient pace but also remain flexible enough to watch recurrently to grasp and retain information. These video materials are made even more engaging by applying the tool named EDPuzzle, which helps the instructors embed the questions intermittently throughout the video lectures to check their understanding of the concepts. If the question is answered, the video resumes; else it demands the keen attention and response from the students. This helps the instructors determine the students’ understanding level in terms of the details of the content and the time taken to accomplish. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of EDPuzzle in the learning process. To facilitate this evaluation, a survey was conducted on a class of 59 using a questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale based closed ended questions. A descriptive statistical method was used for data analysis. The results showed that EDPuzzle, which has proved to be user-friendly, commands better interaction and student engagement resulting in active learning. The findings acknowledge the need to train instructors and students to use EDPuzzle for a better learning experience. Further, there is scope to investigate the contribution of EDPuzzle to content learning, which will contribute to better academic performance.

Published: February 2023

Increasing demand for water requires the improvement of water infrastructure. Dams are one of the most prominent infrastructures for water supply, especially as water demand increases. Due to its size, the dam is bound to affect the local environment, including the hydrometeorological and hydro/geological condition. The impact of dam on the local scale is supposedly dependent on several variables, namely, the height of the dam, its age, and the area of the river basin. This study studies the impact of dams on the surrounding environment by investigating 12 dams located in Java and are spread all throughout Java in particularly West Java, East Java, Central Java and lastly Jogjakarta. The dam environmental impact will be analyzed using: firstly, linear regression to determine the relationship between dams and environmental impact and secondly cluster analysis to divide the researched dams into categories. Dams in the study area could be divided into three clusters based on the similarity in height, age and river basin area. Additionally, this study finds that there is no correlation between the river basin area and both (ground) water quality and local climate. However, there was a correlation between the dam height with temperature and precipitation, as well as the dam age with Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) and pH. Regarding groundwater, the values of DO, TDS and pH are higher in dams located inside of groundwater basins compared to the opposite.

Published: February 2023

Job performance is one of the most crucial factors which scholars have thoroughly addressed and debated to evaluate employee efficiency. The concept of human resource management (HRM) is a vital influencing factor in enhancing job performance and achieving efficient employee performance. This study aims to investigate how human resource management practices (HRMP) affect organizations' and employees' performance by reviewing the previous studies using the systematic literature review (SLR). The NVivo software was used to analyze the outcomes and findings of the literature review, discussion, and analysis. These studies addressed the relationship between HRMP and employees' performance. They evaluated the most influential variables on job performance. The findings of the reviewed studies showed that Human Resource Management Practices (HRMPs) significantly influence the performance of employees in an organization. Also, the application of HRMPs cannot be uniform worldwide. The extent to which HRMPs have been fully enforced or the emphasis on specific HRMPs differs based on the framework in which businesses or organizations usually function. In summary, most previous studies stated a significant impact of HRMP on job performance despite the debated relationship between HRMP and organizational and employee performance. Further studies on HRMPs across different societies and origins are vital.

Authors: Allouch Ali , Lamrhari M. , Benyaich F.
Published: February 2023

This study concerns a batch of 15 ancient Almoravid gold coins, the objects are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), the data collected is processed using statistical math tools. Indeed, the results obtained confirm the mastery of coinage, as stipulated in historical writings, and made it possible to distinguish and qualify the elements that may belong to the original alloy, namely: Ag, Au, Cu, Fe and Ni of those related to the patina such as: Si, O, Mn, Mg and N. These results are very useful, knowing that they can also serve any need for the conservation and restoration of archaeological objects and their enhancement since they can guide the choice of restoration techniques and conservation treatments for metallic heritage objects, while making it possible to inhibit or slow down the corrosion processes and to replace the common artisanal methods, practiced in certain places of conservation, which can sometimes be unsuitable for the elementary composition of the alloy constituting the object. For further analysis, this analysis technique deserves to be complemented by complementary analyzes that can achieve other scientific research objectives, namely; go back to the techniques of making coins, origin of metals, etc.

Published: February 2023

This article focuses on the major companies of different sectors that trade on the Dhaka stock market. In the Dhaka stock exchange, different sectors played a significant role. These sectors have a significant influence on the Dhaka stock market index. Previous research mainly focused on the connection between stock markets and GDP, currency rates, commodities, oil, and so on, but did not focus on the connection between companies inside stock markets. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the correlation between the companies in various sectors. This article explores the volatility and interrelationships between the companies that can be modeled in DCC-GARCH framework. Concurrently, Diebold and Yilmaz's technique was applied to investigate spillover effects and sector-wise company interconnectedness for robustness purposes. From the sample data, it was observed that the pairwise correlation in the companies is positive and significant. The DCC-GARCH model result revealed that there is evidence of volatility and that it exists over a longer period. The empirical findings indicate significant volatility as well as evidence of interdependence among the listed companies. Dhaka Bank, Aftabauto, RENATA, PRIMETEX, and HRTEX are the most commonly identified shock receivers and transmitters. Diebold and Yilmaz's findings are similar to those obtained using the DCC-GARCH method in that there is an indication of strong interdependence and spillover effects. The findings are essential for micro-investors and the policymakers to make further advancements not only important for a single nation but also for other countries.

This paper aims to build a process model that converts employees' non-compliance into compliance. The authors evaluated articles that studied the association between information security behavior and information security policy compliance (ISPC). The authors used grounded theory in this comprehensive literature review. The idea helps researchers study issues in depth and breadth, using the five main approach steps (to define, search, select, analyze, and display). The ISPC analysis placed a greater emphasis on compliance than on non-compliance. Value conflicts, stress due to security issues, and neutralization cause the lack of compliance. This review identified 22 studies that met its criterion for inclusion. Compliance increased for both internal and external causes, as well as for protection. Social circle, management, and company culture motivate employees to be security-aware. Deterrence strategies, managerial practices, culture, and awareness of information security help staff adhere to the rules. Information security is jeopardized when employees do not value ISPC. ISPC studies usually distinguish compliance and non-compliance. The literature lacks a complete grasp of the elements that change employees' Non-compliance to compliance. We conducted a systematic literature review on information security behavior toward ISPC in various settings: research frameworks, research designs, and research methodologies throughout the last decade. This systematic review has implications for information security behavior. This research details a behavior-change technique. The conversion helps security professionals comprehend employee non-compliance and helps them comply. According to research, most security professionals develop information security policies generically, which leads to non-compliance. Most researchers agree that information security policies should be organization-specific. This study explored significant compliance/non-compliance characteristics to help design information security policies.

This study aimed to prove what factors influence fathers' involvement in early childhood care. The design of this research was cross-sectional. The population was fathers having the child aged from one month to six years in Bukittinggi. The samples comprised 92 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The independent variables were age at first becoming a father, father's occupation, mother's occupation, father-mother relationship, number of children, father's willingness to be involved, place of residence, and caregiver assistance, while the dependent variable was father's involvement. Data collection used a questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using Spearman's Rho with < 0.05. The results showed that the number of children (OR = 11,449, 95%CI = 3,596-36,444) influenced the father's involvement in early childhood care with a probability value of 46.7%. The age of first fatherhood, father's occupation, mother's occupation, number of children, place of residence, and help of caregivers determine the father's involvement in raising the children. The novelty of this research is that health workers need to develop education for families in early childhood care. It is recommended to increase the father's involvement in childcare by increasing the first age of becoming a father to the age of more than 27 years, increasing the willingness of fathers to be involved in childcare, and choosing a place to live separately from parents or in-laws.
Indicators of Actively Open-Minded Thinking as One of the Cognitive Learning Outcomes for Gifted Programs in Al-Ahsa Region: An Evaluation Study
Authors: AlAli Rommel
Published: February 2023

The evaluation process of gifted care programs in the Kingdom has focused only on verifying the quality of services provided in these programs, without going beyond that to studying the different cognitive and emotional learning outcomes of these programs. To verify the quality of some of the outputs of these cognitive and emotional programs, the current research aimed to reveal the extent of the impact of gifted programs on the development of some actively open-minded thinking skills. To achieve this goal, the actively open-minded thinking scale was developed. The results showed that the gifted program led to the development of actively open-minded thinking skills for students enrolled in gifted programs. The results of the application of the scale in its four dimensions also showed the availability of indicators of actively open-minded thinking with a high degree and that the dimensions of belief identification and dogmatic thinking got a high average rating, while the dimensions of flexible thinking and constructive thinking got a medium rating. The researcher recommended the need and importance of considering the gifted in the content of these programs to determine the positive and negative of them and their opinions of those in charge of these programs to develop them according to their abilities and to try to involve the gifted in developing their own programs on various aspects of personality.
An Improved Approach Based on Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with a Noise Algorithm for Intrusion Detection

Published: February 2023

Network Intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are extremely important for make the network secure from unauthorized access. Numerous studies have already been conducted to detect the unauthorized access to achieve security. As the NIDS are still lacking in terms of accuracy, true positive rate (TPR) and the false positive rate (FPR) of the invasive events. The main cause of high FPR in intrusion detection systems is run with a default set of signatures. Issues in the detection rate are caused by feature similarities between man-made events and environmental events. Considering this fact, in this paper, we introduced a new intrusion detection algorithm named as I-DBSCAN by focusing on the above-mentioned issues to get the better results from the previously done experiments. We used clustering and classification techniques. The proposed algorithm is an enhanced version of the existing DBSCAN algorithm. However, this research can spot attacks on data from IDS. It is found that the novel algorithm achieved more accuracy when it is applied to four classification methods on KDD Cup 99 and NSL-KDD Cup99 data. The results of our proposed methodology are more efficient with the achievement of better accuracy level and false positive rate (FPR).

This study reveals the distribution of Bacillariophyceae in estuarine-mangrove which is mainly influenced by the quality of the waters. The main component analysis approach between variables is critical in this study because it determines the environmental characteristics in each estuarine zone. Estuarine-mangrove environments have different physical-chemical dynamics compared to other types of waters, one of which is Musi Estuary, located on the coast of South Sumatra. The aquatic environment of the Musi Estuary is influenced by tidal fluctuations that bring nutrients from inland waters and mangrove litter. This condition is perfect for the phytoplankton habitat, which plays an essential role in the ecological processes of waters as primary producers. This study aims to examine the diversity of Bacillariophyceae phytoplankton in the mangrove estuary environment and its possible role in estuarine ecology. Data were collected at ten observation stations in July, including samples of phytoplankton and water physical-chemical data such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, water brightness, current speed, nitrates, and phosphates. Quantitative measurement of phytoplankton was performed using an Olympus CX23 light microscope at 100X magnification, while data were analyzed using PCA and Bray-Curtis similarity analysis. Water environment conditions were measured in a stable range in each zone except for salinity and brightness. Furthermore, only Bacillariophyceae were observed in all observation zones dominated by the Skeletonema genus. It is a dominant presence, and its abundance determined its role as a significant primary producer in the estuary outer zone near the sea. This study implicitly revealed the existence of Skeletonema in influencing ecological processes in estuary mangrove waters.
