Sustainable blue economy: Opportunities and challenges
J Biosci. 2024;49:18.ABSTRACTThe term 'blue economy', first introduced in 2010, is the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, jobs, ocean health, and to improve livelihoods. However, a sustainable blue economy faces various challenges in the form of global warming, ocean acidification, and lack of knowledge about the ocean; for example, 95% of the sea is still unexplored, making it more important to understand the blue economy and implement it on a global scale. Other challenges include harmful algal blooms (HABs), invasive species, coral bleaching, and thermohaline circulation. This review discusses vario...

In a big bet on science, the U.S. just created 10 new ‘innovation engines’
Molly Hemstreet’s career as an English teacher, community organizer, and entrepreneur in rural western North Carolina doesn’t fit the typical profile of a grantee of the National Science Foundation (NSF). But her vision for reviving North Carolina’s struggling textile industry by using more recycled materials, green manufacturing practices, and a well-trained workforce was tailor-made for a new NSF program designed to fuel economic prosperity in neglected communities across the United States.
Today, NSF announced that Hemstreet’s project is one of the first 10 it is funding under an ambitious and unprecedente...

Building Bridges and Strengthening Bonds: An Exploratory Investigation Into Social Capital and Youth Programming
CONCLUSIONS: Strong interest from YSOs for additional social capital tools highlights the need for additional work in this area. With support, YSOs can connect young people to institutions and influencers significantly outside of normal social circles, thus creating an increasingly sustainable and diverse range of resources available to youth as they navigate life milestones.PMID:38286774 (Source: Progress in Community Health Partnerships)

High Incidence of Vitamin D Deficiency (VDD) Among Indoor Workers: Association with Dietary and Lifestyle Factors
Ecol Food Nutr. 2024 Jan 28:1-23. doi: 10.1080/03670244.2024.2306386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study evaluated the relationship of various dietary and lifestyle factors with vitamin D status and bone health of adults engaged in office jobs. A total of 100 subjects comprising of 50 males and 50 females (with their willingness to participate) in the age group of 30-50 years were purposively selected for the investigation, who were spending 8 hours in the offices. Results showed that most of the subjects had vitamin D deficit with mean serum vitamin D level as 13.2 ng/ml and 68% were osteopenic. Dietary phytates, sed...
