Growing Through Cities in Tanzania: The Implications on National Development
Authors:   University of Dodoma, Haule Kelvin Oswin , Kilonzo Rehema ,   University of Dodoma
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the role of towns or cities of different population sizes on a country’s growth. Also, it compares the role played by urban and rural regions on a country’s socio-economic development. It adopted a comparative-case study design with an objective database meta-analysis for urban development in Tanzania (1990– 2024). It further reviewed metadata through Our World in Data (OWID), Tanzania Urbanization Laboratory (TUlab), and the NBS migration and urbanization monograph. Furthermore, it used the Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS, 2020/2021) and Household Budget Survey (HBS, 2018) for urban and rural socioeconomic data. Interviews with 26 government and non-government officials undertaken in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma cities were used to complement the metaanalysis. The findings indicate that urbanization is fast in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Tanga, Mbeya, Arusha, Morogoro and Dodoma. Socially and economically, Tanzania is growing through cities despite identifying itself as a rural economic country. Also, although agriculture leads other sectors in employment, its GDP and per capita contribution is low. This provides further evidences that Tanzania is growing through towns and cities. The findings suggest that biased development policies have contributed to this trend. Consequently, there is a need for balanced regional development strategies and rural vitalization policies to redress the rural-urban divide.

Medical imaging uses computer techniques to create images of the human body's inside for diagnostic purposes. Image segmentation is crucial for many medical assessments, navigation, surgical planning, and diagnosis. There are now three techniques available for segmenting the region of interest: manual, semi-automated, and automatic. In this paper, a hybrid way to deal with the identification and characterization of brain cancers utilizing attractive reverberation imaging is proposed. It is very challenging to analyze brain cancers due to the varieties in growth position, structure, and size. The fundamental target of this study is to provide specialists with an exhaustive assortment of writing on the use of attractive reverberation imaging (MR) to the identification of cerebrum diseases. This study proposed a number of techniques for the statistical image processing and artificial intelligence-based tumour and brain cancer diagnosis. This concentrate likewise incorporates an evaluation grid for a particular framework utilizing explicit frameworks and dataset types. At last, our review gathers every one of the information expected to analyze and figure out malignant growths, including their advantages, disadvantages, headways, and possible future patterns.

Published: February 2025

Lakes are dynamic systems that respond to various physico-chemical characteristics. This paper deals with the physico-chemical analysis of lakshmipuram Lake of lakshmipuram village, Anakapalli Dist., Andhra Pradesh, India. This study was carried out for the period of one year (January – December 2024) to know the quality of water by examining levels of varying physio- chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, conductance, alkalinity, DO, BOD, COD, salinity, TDS, TSS, TH, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate-nitrogen, and phosphate. All the key water quality parameters are studied by following standard APHA analytical techniques. The results revealed that there was significant seasonal variation in some physico- chemical parameters and most of the parameters were in a normal range and they are present in the prescribed limits of WHO and National Lake Water Quality Criteria and Standards. It has been identified that the water is of better quality for fish farming and irrigation.
Insuficiencia renal aguda como factor de riesgo independiente para desarrollar enfermedad renal crónica.
Authors: Peña Peerez Jorge Alselmo , Reyes Marín Fernando Arturo
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The incidence of acute renal failure (AKI) in noncritical hospital areas ranges from 0.5% to 13%. This rate varies from 25% to over 45% in intensive care units. This study aims to determine the prevalence of acute kidney injury and understand its association with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a public reference center in Mexico City.
Methods: This observational longitudinal study was conducted at Hospital Juárez de México from 2017 to 2018, involving hospitalized adult patients with at least two serum creatinine measurements. Patients diagnosed with AKI were identified, and those with CKD within 90 days were noted. The relationship between AKI and the development of CKD was examined using logistic regression. The prevalence of AKI and the prevalence of CKD among patients diagnosed with AKI were calculated.
Results: A total of 160 patients were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was 58%, while the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients presenting with AKI was 55%. A significant association was found between AKI and the subsequent development of CKD at 90 days (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min x 1.72 m²), with an odds ratio (OR) of 16.62 (95% confidence interval (CI) 5.34 - 34.54) and a P value of <0.001. Other factors that may impact AKI, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), age, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), sepsis, sex, and intensive care unit (ICU) stay were assessed through multivariate analysis; however, no significant association was observed.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant association between an episode of AKI and the risk of developing CKD within 90 days.
Moderation and Revolution
Authors: Micocci Andrea
Published: February 2025

In the intellectuality of capitalism there are two alternative ways to conceive of reality: the moderate one, which mediates dialectically, and the revolutionary one, which also comprises ruptures with disappearance. The former conforms to, and helps shape, the metaphysics of capitalism itself. The second is akin to the mode of progressing of nature in general, and forms the basis for materialism. Moderate positions tend to be intolerant because they do not recognize the other, which is constantly compelled to mediate. Revolutionary positions instead, recognizing the other, are tolerant and intrinsically non-violent. In capitalism as we know it liberalism, Marxism and anarchism would potentially be revolutionary. But they have been transformed in moderate modes of thought, similar for instance to nationalism, communitarianism, Christian ideas, fascism, socialism. Thus capitalism has become an intolerant world that seems built to block, by means of mediations, its own historical evolution. The outcome is a fascistic economy and polity.
Reading the Islamic City
Authors: Kahera Akel Isma'il
Published: February 2025

Reading the Islamic City offers insights into the implications the practices of the Maliki school of Islamic law have for the inhabitants of the Islamic city, the madinah. The problematic term madinah fundamentally indicates a phenomenon of building, dwelling, and urban settlement patterns that evolved after the 7th century CE in the Maghrib (North Africa) and al-Andalusia (Spain). Madinah involves multiple contexts that have socio-religious functions and symbolic connotations related to the faith and practice of Islam, and can be viewed in terms of a number of critiques such as everyday lives, boundaries, utopias, and dystopias. The book considers Foucault’s power/knowledge matrix as it applies to an erudite cadre of scholars and legal judgments in the realm of architecture and urbanism. It acknowledges the specificity of power/knowledge insofar as it provides a dominant framework to tackle property rights, custom, noise, privacy, and a host of other subjects. Scholars of urban studies, religion, history, and geography will greatly benefit from this vivid analysis of the relevance of the juridico-discursive practice of Maliki Law in a set of productive or formative discourses in the Islamic city.
Narratives of the French Empire
Authors: Marsh Kate
Published: February 2025

This study interrogates how the French empire was imagined in three literary representations of French colonialism: the conquest of Tahiti, and the established colonial systems in Martinique and in India. The study is the first in either English or French to demonstrate that representations of power relations, as well as the broader discourses with which they were linked, were as closely concerned with probing the similarities and differences of rival European colonial systems as they were with reinforcing their imagined superiority over the colonized, and that such power relations should not be conceptualized as a dualistic categorization of ‘colonizer’ versus ‘colonized’. In doing so, it aims to go beyond examining the interaction between colonized and colonizer, or between colonial centre and periphery, and to interrogate instead the circulation of ideas and practices across different sites of European colonialism, drawing attention to a historical complexity which has been neglected in the necessary race to recover voices previously occluded from academic analysis. In exploring how the notion of the French empire overseas was construed and how it was infused with meaning at three different historical moments, 1784, 1835 and 1938, it demonstrates how precarious the French empire was perceived to be, in terms of both European rivalry and resistance from the colonized, and how the rhetoric of a French colonisation douce was pitted against the inscribed excesses of the more powerful British empire. Rather than employing the sorts of recuperative agenda which focus on how the colonized were elided (viz., Subaltern Studies) or on the writings of the formerly colonized (viz., Francophone Studies), the study concerns itself specifically with how French colonialism and imperialism were perceived, and thus offers a further corrective to any generalizations about European colonialism and imperialism. More particularly, by examining how the representational strategy of nostalgia is used in these texts, the study demonstrates how perceived loss, and nostalgia for an imperial past, played a role in dynamically shaping the French colonial enterprise across its various manifestations.
Fannie Hardy Eckstorm and Her Quest for Local Knowledge, 1865-1946
Authors: MacDougall Pauleena M.
Published: February 2025

Eckstorm was the daughter of a fur trader living in Maine who published six books and many articles on natural history, woods culture, and Indian language and lore. A writer from Maine with a national readership, Eckstorm drew on her unique relationship with both Maine woodsmen and Maine's Native Americans that grew out of the time she spent in the woods with her father. She developed a complex system of work largely based on oral tradition, recording and interpreting local knowledge about animal behavior and hunting practices, boat handling, ballad singing, Native American languages, crafts, and storytelling. Her work has formed the foundation for much scholarship in New England folklore and history and clearly illustrates the importance of indigenous and folk knowledge to scholarship.

Fannie Hardy Eckstorm and Her Quest for Local Knowledge, 1865–1946 reveals an important story which speaks directly to contemporary issues as historians of science, social science and humanities begin to re-evaluate the nature, content, and role of indigenous and folk knowledge systems. Eckstorm's life and work illustrate the constant tension between local lay knowledge and the more privileged scientific production of academics that increasingly dominated the field from the early twentieth century. At the time Eckstorm was writing, the growth in professionalism and eclipse of the amateur led to a reorganization of knowledge. As increasing specialization defined the academy, indigenous knowledge systems were dismissed as unscientific and born of ignorance. Eckstorm recognized and lauded the innate value of traditional knowledge that could, for example, fell trees in the interior of Maine and ship them internationally as finished lumber.
Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream
Authors: Berger Ronald J. , Feucht Jon A. , Flad Jennifer
Published: February 2025

Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream is a collaborative effort to tell the life story of Jon A. Feucht, a man who was born with a form of cerebral palsy that left him reliant on a wheelchair for mobility, with limited use of his arms and an inability to speak without an assistive communication device. It is a story about finding one’s voice, about defying low expectations, about fulfilling one’s dreams, and about making a difference in the world.

Sociologist C. Wright Mills famously called for a “sociological imagination” that grapples with the intersection of biography and history in society and the ways in which personal troubles are related to public issues. Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream heeds this call through a qualitative “mixed–methods” study that situates Feucht’s life in broader social context, understanding disability not just as an individual experience but also as a social phenomenon. In the tradition of disability studies, it also illuminates an experience of disability that avoids reading it as tragic or pitiable.

Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream is intended as an analytical and empirical contribution to both disability studies and qualitative sociology, to be read by social science scholars and students taking courses in disability studies and qualitative research, as well as by professionals working in the fields of special education and speech pathology. Written in an accessible style, the book will also be of interest to lay readers who want to learn more about disability issues and the disability experience.
The Long Ride of Major Von Schill
Authors: Mustafa Sam A.
Published: February 2025

This unique book traces the past 200 years of German history, using an iconic German folk hero as a bellwether of changing politics and culture. In 1809, at the height of Napoleon's power in Europe, the Prussian Major Ferdinand von Schill led a revolt against the French empire. Within a month his rebellion was crushed, and Schill became a martyr for German nationalists. As the years passed, Schill's legend grew and evolved until he had become one of Germany's most famous and celebrated Napoleonic figures: the subject of hundreds of novels, poems, plays, operas, films, biographies, and monuments.

Sam A. Mustafa explores the radical changes in German society and politics in the two centuries since Schill's death. In the first English-language work on the subject, he shows how Schill remarkably endured as other heroes fell in and out of fashion. For imperial propagandists, Liberal Democrats, Nazis, and Communists alike, he was a favorite historical icon and cultural touchstone. The author traces how an obscure failed rebel became a revered national symbol of patriotism and heroism and the ways each successive German regime coopted his story for its own ideological mission. Drawing on a rich array of primary and secondary sources, Mustafa considers the nature of patriotism, the creation of heroes and heroic mythology, and the fragility of history itself in a masterful narrative that will be an invaluable reference for anyone interested in the German experience during the Napoleonic Wars.
Collecting Cultures
Authors: May Sally K.
Published: February 2025

In February 1948, a team of Australians and Americans embarked upon one of the largest scientific expeditions that had ever taken place in Australia. Seventeen men and women journeyed across northern Australia for nine months, investigating the people and environment of the remote region known as Arnhem Land. Today, the Arnhem Land Expedition remains one of the most significant, most ambitious, and least understood expeditions ever mounted. Collecting Cultures draws together diverse strands of evidence to investigate the events and consequences of the 1948 Arnhem Land Expedition. In the wake of the expedition came volumes of scientific publications, kilometers of film, thousands of photographs, tens of thousands of scientific specimens, and a vast array of artifacts and artwork from across Arnhem Land. Collecting Cultures explores the complex and, at times, contentious legacy of this ethnographic fieldwork and artifact collection, revealing how the cross-cultural encounters transformed and continue to transform our understanding of people and places.
Gratitude and Grace
Authors: Huffstetler Joel W.
Published: February 2025

Gratitude and Grace: The Writings of Michael Mayne offers an introduction and overview of the five bestselling books by one of the United Kingdom's finest spiritual writers, Michael Mayne, who served as dean of Westminster Abbey from 1986 to 1996. Previously, he had served as vicar of Great St. Mary's (the University Church), Cambridge, and as Head of Religious Programmes for BBC Radio. Mayne's primary vocation was that of pastor, not writer, but his deep pastoral wisdom shines through in his books. Though clearly Christian in orientation, Michael Mayne's books were written to appeal to all who are on a quest to integrate spirituality into their daily lives. His work recalls the very best of English pastoral writing, such as that of George Herbert, Thomas Traherne, and Francis Kilvert. The list of the finest English pastoral books now includes those by Michael Mayne (d. 2006). Gratitude and Grace: The Writings of Michael Mayne is the first book-length treatment of Mayne's writings and will remain the starting point of Mayne studies for years to come.
Hermes on Two Wheels
Authors: Wehr Kevin
Published: February 2025

Hermes on Two Wheels shows the dynamic world of the bicycle messenger through a sociological lens, based on a five-year participant observation study. Beginning with the experiences of messengers themselves and moving to describe the structural settings of those experiences, the research shows how messengers work within a political-economic system that devalues semi-skilled labor and strips people of emotional fulfillment. The voluntary risk-taking of messengers becomes a means of achieving such emotional fulfillment as well as making a living, while their stylistic expressions pay dividends in cultural scrip rather than money. Through their work, messengers help to reproduce and maintain the structures of society while also constructing a vibrant, rebellious, politicized subculture that has come to represent the new urban hipster, an image continually under threat of co-optation.
Image and Imagination
Authors: Malicote Sandra
Published: February 2025

The first in-depth interdisciplinary study of word and image in the Old French chanson de geste, Image and Imagination: Picturing the Old French Epic examines the fascinating relationship between illumination and epic narrative constructed by the medieval understanding of the imagination. The study focuses on the epic cycle known as 'the geste of Saint Gille,' including Aiol and Elie de Saint Gille. The poems in manuscript were produced in the context of the opulent francophone Flemish courts of the mid-to-late thirteenth century. The manuscript (known as BNF fr 25516) is richly illuminated, and the study includes the popular Beuves de Hanstone, forerunner of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the poem Robert le Diable, later becoming Meyerbeer's celebrated opera. Concluding with the comparative study of BNF fr 24403's epic treatment of the only illuminated version of Chretien de Troyes' first Arthurian work, Erec et Enide, and the Sancti Bertini version of La Chevalerie Vivien, the first dated collection of epics made for a prominent northern Bishop, this study introduces the hitherto little-explored world of medieval illumination and epic narrative poetics.
The Rhetorical Short Story
Authors: Purcell William M.
Published: February 2025

In The Rhetorical Short Story, Purcell examines over ninety short stories as rhetorical artifacts of nearly a century of American history. The words of over seventy-five authors present a pastiche of American voices, from the early days of the Great War to the ongoing conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each of the stories features a type of rhetorical depiction that enables its audience to connect vicariously with the experience presented by the author. This account sees the transformation of the American perspective from an insular one, which emphasizes the purpose driven actions of strong individual agents, to ones in which individuals are caught up in the inevitable consequences of an all-determining stream of events.
Rwanda
Authors: Ensign Margee M. , Bertrand William E.
Published: February 2025

Imagine a nation with the highest proportion of women legislators in the world. Imagine a country where a democratically elected president is committed to gender equality and poverty reduction, where urban and rural schools are being wired to the Internet, and where the government is committed to becoming a middle-income country by 2020. Imagine that this country is located in the heart of sub-Saharan Africa and that this progress comes in the wake of one of the 20th century's worst genocides. Fifteen years removed from a mass genocide that resulted in the deaths of nearly one million people, Rwanda today presents a model for hope, justice, innovation and human development. In fact, Rwanda is now a leader in achieving economic, political and social progress in this beleaguered continent. A new model of governance has emerged in this poor, African country. This model, which draws on century's old Rwandan customs called Ubudehe and IMIHIGO, is inclusive, transparent, empowers the poor, and holds leaders accountable for improving the well being of people in their districts. Rwanda: History and Hope focuses on the innovative path Rwanda has taken in governance and reconciliation, gender equity, education, health and economic growth. The authors spent a decade working and researching in the country to prepare this path-breaking book.
Plundering the Egyptians
Authors: Yeo John J.
Published: February 2025

Plundering the Egyptians focuses on the study of the Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary from 1929 to 1998. More specifically, it presents the lives and academic labors of Robert Dick Wilson (1929-1930), Edward Joseph Young (1936-1968), Raymond Bryan Dillard (1969-1993), and Tremper Longman III (1981-1998). These featured scholars were highly influential in changing the shape of Old Testament studies at Westminster through the introduction of novel scholarly tools and ideas that reveal methodological and theological development. Their individual historical contexts, scholarly contributions, and interactions with historical-critical scholarship are presented and analyzed. Modifications in their respective methodologies are highlighted and often indicate significant shifts within the Old Princeton-Westminster trajectory from an anti-critical stance toward a position of openness toward historical-critical methodology and its conclusions. The implications of these shifts within Westminster are important because they mirror the current changes and challenges in evangelicalism today.
Feeding the Five Thousand
Authors: Aus Roger David

In addition, he analyzes the account's Semitic background, genre and historicity, and its part in a miracle collection.
No Holding Back
Authors: Mason Jim
Published: February 2025

No Holding Back tells the story of John Anderson's 1980 presidential campaign. Anderson gave up a safe seat in the House of Representatives, a position in the Republican leadership, and a likely nomination for a Senate seat to run what every expert considered a hopeless race for the GOP presidential nomination. Anderson did so because he was disturbed by many of the same trends in American politics that still exist today: the proliferation of special interests, gridlock on Capitol Hill, and the unwillingness of his fellow politicians to speak honestly about the critical issues facing the nation. More than anything, Anderson wanted to make a statement about how candidates ought to run for office: by rejecting quick-fix solutions, being candid on where one stood on matters of policy, and not sugarcoating the problems that faced voters. Anderson ran as a kind of anti-candidate. He had a unique campaigning style and offered proposals that differed greatly from the standard Republican viewpoint. People found him refreshingly direct and different. As interest turned to the campaign, he attracted widespread media attention. He performed beyond expectations in the first round of primaries and soon switched to an independent candidacy. By June, he was running at 26% in a three-way race against Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Against the backdrop of runaway inflation, the Iranian hostage situation, a debilitating energy crisis, and a discredited incumbent president, pollsters found him winning unprecedented support. But during the summer, troubled by ballot access problems, financial issues, institutional obstacles, and management difficulties, Anderson's polling totals began to fall. Once it became clear that he would not win, his support collapsed and he limped to a 7% finish. This final result has greatly undermined the importance of this campaign. It has influenced numerous future candidates and changed the way many politicians would run for office. His was the first candidacy to expose how voters would appreciate a new realism in campaigning and demonstrated the interest that exists in candidates who run against politics-as-usual. His campaign reawakened the faith of voters that politics could be more truthful, pure, and honorable. No Holding Back tells the story of this remarkable American political melodrama.

Television Courtroom Broadcasting Effects
Authors: Lambert Paul
Published: February 2025

Court and policy makers have increasingly had to deal with—and sometimes even embrace—technology, from podcasts to the Internet. Televised courtroom broadcasting especially remains an issue. The debate surrounding the US Supreme Court and federal courts, as well as the great disparity between different forms of television courtroom broadcasting, rages on. What are the effects of television courtroom broadcasting? Does research support the arguments for or against? Despite three Supreme Court cases on television courtroom broadcasting, the common thread between the cases has not been highlighted. The Supreme Court in these cases maintains a common theme: there is not a sufficient body of research on the effects of televising courtroom proceedings to resolve the debate in a confident manner.

Authors: Susanti Ari Indra , Nuraini Annisa , Darmawan Flora Honey
Published: February 2025

Currently, midwifery services are strengthened by the use of various technologies, so midwives are required to be able to use smartphone-based applications (mobile Health) in recording and reporting Maternal and Child Health (MCH) data and improving lifelong competency based on applications (mobile Learning). This community service activity aims to strengthen midwives' abilities in digital literacy based on the midwife's iPosyandu application to improve MCH services. The method of implementing the activity is in the form of training in the use of the iPosyandu Bidan application. The results of the evaluation of this activity were that most midwives were able to use the midwife's iPosyandu application by quickly learning to input data (mean>5.57) and search for midwifery information (mean>5.65) to improve competence (mean>5.68), and provide health services (mean>5.52). Midwives have good digital literacy when using the Bidan applications such as mHealth and mLearning. Recommendations for the next community service activity are that midwives can provide health services in the form of health education to patients based on the iPosyandu Bidan application.

Published: February 2025

The incidence of diabetes is projected to continue to increase to 643 million in 2030. If this continues, the number will jump to 783 million people in 2045, So it is important to improve health status by providing education on the prevention of diabetes mellitus with a focus on diet and blood sugar checks in adults. The aim of this community service is to detect diabetes mellitus early and prevent it in the community. Efforts are being made to improve health status by providing diabetes mellitus education with a focus on diet and blood sugar checks. The pre-test results showed that most of the 20 respondents (70.8%) had quite good knowledge, the post-test results showed that 45 respondents (100%) had good knowledge. The results of the GDS examination were obtained from 28 respondents, 7 respondents detected high GDS. It can be concluded that there is an increase in knowledge after being given counseling, so it is very important that this community service is implemented.

Development of Protein-based Resin for 3D-Printing
Authors:   , Rungsrithong Tanat
Published: February 2025

Bio-sourced and biodegradable polymers for additive manufacturing could be used in broad industrial applications from healthcare to aerospace. Not all materials can successfully undergo the vat photopolymerization processes. In this study, protein-based resins from bovine serum albumin (BSA) were synthesized to meet the future demands of sustainability in the life cycle of plastic materials. The BSA resins were characterized by rheometry to determine the cure rate required to predict the rintability of resins. These resins were suitable for stereolithographic apparatus (SLA) 3D printing into objects with shape-memory behavior. The objects could undergo a mechanical deformation to unfold the protein by compression or extension. Deformed objects could be recovered the shape by heating or submerging them in water. These BSA resins are promising for applications using other vat photopolymerization techniques including digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD/MSLA).

Hutan mangrove merupakan ekosistem pesisir yang vital dengan berbagai manfaat ekonomi. Karya ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis nilai ekonomi hutan mangrove dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai fungsi dan jasanya. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dan analisis data sekunder. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Berdasarkan hasil analisis CBA, disimpulkan bahwa hutan mangrove merupakan aset ekonomi yang berharga dan harus dilestarikan. Pengelolaan hutan mangrove yang berkelanjutan dapat memaksimalkan manfaat dan meminimalkan biaya. Pengelolaan hutan mangrove yang berkelanjutan harus dilakukan dengan melibatkan berbagai pihak, termasuk pemerintah, masyarakat lokal, dan sektor swasta. 2) Analisis harga hedonik menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove memiliki nilai ekonomi yang signifikan. Nilai ekonomi hutan mangrove dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, seperti tutupan hutan, aksesibilitas, kualitas air, dan kedekatan dengan infrastruktur. 3) Analisis biaya penggantian hutan mangrove dilakukan dengan menghitung nilai jasa ekosistem yang hilang akibat konversi lahan. Nilai jasa ekosistem ini dihitung berdasarkan berbagai metode, seperti analisis biofisik, analisis ekonomi, dan analisis nilai kontingen. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai jasa ekosistem hutan mangrove yang hilang akibat konversi lahan dapat mencapai miliaran rupiah per hektar per tahun. Nilai ini jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan nilai ekonomi yang diperoleh dari konversi lahan.Kata Kunci: Analisis; Nilai Ekonomi; Hutan Mangrove.
