The Impact of Gender Discrimination on Statelessness: Causes, Consequences and Legal Responses
Authors:   University of Cape Town, Beninger Christina , Manjoo Rashida
Published: December 2022

Gender discrimination, both direct and indirect, is a leading cause of statelessness worldwide. Most often, direct discrimination is reflected in patriarchal nationality laws that restrict women’s ability to acquire, retain, and pass on their nationality to their children and/or spouses. There are also many indirect forms of discrimination owing to women’s often subordinate status that can impact women’s (and their children’s) vulnerability to statelessness. Overall, women are subject to a range of elevated and compounded risks of statelessness linked to patriarchal norms and deeply rooted gender inequalities. Despite the substantial impact of gender discrimination on statelessness, this issue is an understudied topic in the literature. This article discusses how gender discrimination impacts statelessness broadly and analyses how relevant international and selected Southern African and domestic law and policy frameworks have responded to this issue. First, the article briefly discusses some of the leading causes of statelessness arising from direct and indirect gender discrimination, and some of the key consequences of statelessness for women. Second, the article provides a critical gender analysis of the international legal framework on statelessness. It discusses how relevant international human rights legal and policy frameworks offer a robust protection of women’s nationality rights and gender equality. Third, the article analyses selected regional and national law and policy developments related to gender and statelessness in Southern Africa. Overall, while the analysis indicates progress in some areas, there remain ongoing challenges in bridging the statelessness gender discrimination gap and a need for further research in this area.
The Impact of Climate Change in the Southern African Region and Statelessness
Authors:   University of Cape Town, Jahnig Michaela , Ndimurwimo Leah ,   Nelson Mandela university
Published: December 2022

The right to nationality is among the fundamental rights that are recognisable under international and regional treaties, as well as national laws. Under international law, the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness (collectively the “Statelessness Conventions”), for example, were adopted to promote and protect the right to nationality and eradicate statelessness. There are three ways by which nationality can be acquired: by descent or parentage (jus sanguinis – law of the blood), by birth on the territory (jus soli – law of the soil), or by way of naturalization which includes (jus domicili or long residence). However, the determination of nationality remains ambiguous, and statelessness is becoming a major concern in the Southern African Region. Statelessness often occurs due to the lacunae found in the laws, policies, and practices of states that deny individuals their right to nationality, at birth or later in life. Stateless persons become unfairly marginalised and denied their basic human rights and access to services, legal protection, and recognition. Statelessness is not only harmful to stateless persons themselves but can destabilise the society in which such persons live. This article investigates the risks of statelessness that can be associated with cross-border and permanent displacement due to the impacts of climate change. It evaluates the likelihood that such circumstances may lead to uncertain rights and legal statuses of stateless persons, issues that have the potential to be passed on to subsequent generations. The article concludes with recommended solutions for effectively preventing statelessness and for protecting and promoting the rights of stateless persons in the Southern African Region, specifically South Africa, Mozambique, and Tanzania.
Statelessness, Trauma and Mental Wellbeing: Implications for Practice, Research, and Advocacy
Authors:   University of Calgary, Warria Ajwang' , Chikadzi Victor ,   University of Namibia
Published: December 2022

In 2016, the UNHCR estimated that about 10 million people, globally, were stateless. The issue of statelessness is inextricably linked to the psychosocial wellness and is a crucial mental health factor to consider in the holistic care, protection of stateless persons. There is a dearth of research examining the mental health implications for stateless persons and their exposure to multiple and ongoing rights violations. In addition, there is limited literature on the mental health impacts of statelessness. This paper describes the systematic human rights violations as linked to statelessness and how these contribute to individual trauma and stress – subsequently affecting wellbeing. The paper utilises a trauma-focused approach in understanding statelessness and presents a novel contribution to the research, advocacy and practice interventions addressing statelessness especially when drawing on the link between trauma and systemic rights violations. Findings from the document study reveal statelessness-linked stressors. Historic systematic human rights violations, traumatic events and situations, and previous and daily stressors become mental health burdens and challenges for those experiencing statelessness. Service providers working with stateless persons should be aware of the impact of statelessness on mental health and should refer cases to mental health practitioners who can provide services that reduce socio-emotional distress whilst strengthening resilience and coping strategies. The findings emphasize the promotion of stateless persons psychosocial wellbeing – looking at both curative and preventative strategies, towards the establishment of just and inclusive societies.
Precarización de la Educación para Jóvenes y Adultos. La configuración de políticas educativas en el contexto neoliberal chileno
Authors: Contreras-Villalobos Tabata Anaís , Baleriola Escudero Enrique , Opazo Muñoz Hector Sebastián
Published: December 2022

Las leyes y normas legislativas definen el marco de acción de las políticas educativas. En Chile, esto se traduce frecuentemente en una visión de mercado orientada por los principios de la nueva gestión pública. Ante este marco, la Educación Para Jóvenes y Adultos (EPJA) resulta un caso particular, condicionado por la rendición de cuentas y ajena de apoyos para brindar una respuesta educativa acorde a su idiosincrasia. Ante esto, emerge como objetivo de este trabajo describir las acciones que los diferentes decretos y normativas legales ejercen en el enactment actual de la modalidad EPJA en Chile. Desde la Teoría del Actor-Red, siguiendo un marco cualitativo, se analiza cómo se constituye esta modalidad desde las normativas vigentes desde el año 2000 hasta 2020. Los resultados, por un lado, apuntan a una tensión en los objetivos educativos entre una perspectiva de convalidación y otra de formación. Por otro lado, se concibe una población heterogénea que ha mutado en los últimos años, donde las soluciones legislativas no aseguran el cumplimiento de los objetivos de esta modalidad educativa. Se concluye que en la actualidad, EPJA ha sido gravemente precarizada desde el marco normativo de la nueva gestión pública, no solo por la falta de recursos, sino también por las escasas posibilidades de actuación en su mejora y desarrollo, arriesgando su continuidad y el derecho a la educación de esta población.
Vše, co podnikl, se zdařilo. Jan Milíč Lochman – komentovaná prohlídka díla světového českého theologa
Authors: Štefan Jan
Published: December 2022

In All That He Did He Prospered. Jan Milíč Lochman – a Guided Tour of the Work of the International Czech Theologian. The key lecture presented at the symposium on the 100th birthday of the Reformed theologian Jan Milíč Lochman. Lochman taught systematic theology 1950–1968 in Prague, 1969–1992 in Basel. He is the author of many hundreds of professional studies and popular articles and about twenty Czech, Geman and English books in the fields of Historical Theology (ortho-practice of the Czech Reformation), Theological Ethics (Christian-Marxist dialogue) and Systematic Theology (dogmatic soteriology seeking a balance between theological verticalism and horizontalism). Lochman was a world-renowned popularizer of Czech thought and a master of dialogue between theologians, between churches, between theology and philosophy, religion and culture, faith and science. In his life, as in his academic and ecumenical work, he opposed all kinds of fatalism. As a formally dialectical and contextual theologian, he has always been – like his great compatriot Comenius – a theologian of hope.

Authors: Böcker Ramona , Mandl Thomas , Mitera Hannah , Schmidt Franziska
Published: December 2022

Die Coronapandemie hat einen hohen Bedarf an Informationen ausgelöst. Gleichzeitig wurde eine große Menge an Wissenschaftsinformationen über verschiedene Kanäle verbreitet, darunter häufig auch über Social Media. Somit entstanden für die Forschung zum Informationsverhalten neue Chancen zur Beobachtung von Nutzenden, aber auch neue methodische Herausforderungen, dieses Verhalten mit dem sonstigen Konsum von Nachrichten und Wissenschaftskommunikation in Bezug zu setzen. Es wird ein Mixed-Methods-Ansatz aus einer Befragung zur Nutzung und Bewertung von Informationsquellen kombiniert mit Beobachtungen aus einer Nutzungsstudie vorgestellt Für diese wurden in einem Experiment Ergebnislisten verschiedener Web- und Videosuchen als Ausgangspunkt genutzt, um Auswahlmethoden und Qualitätskriterien für Wissenschaftskommunikate zu ermitteln. Beide methodischen Ansätze zeigten, dass die Seriosität und die Bekanntheit einer Quelle eine dominierende Rolle bei Auswahlentscheidungen spielen.
Ezekiel and the Construction of Cultural Trauma
Authors: Crouch C. L.
Published: December 2022

The book of Ezekiel may be effectively understood in terms of Jeffrey Alexander’s theory of cultural trauma, in which catastrophic events take on a wider cultural significance because they are perceived as having consequences for group identity. The book of Ezekiel develops a new master narrative of Israelite history and identity, in which the catastrophes of 597 and 586 BCE are the culmination of generations of moral and religious offences against Yhwh, the God of Israel. Ezekiel’s narrative constructs these events as having profound consequences for Israel’s identity. Those taken to Babylonia are identified as victims of divine violence; as victims, they are the ones whom Yhwh has chosen as true Israelites. The book distinguishes this new Israel from the remnants of the old one still in Jerusalem, rejecting the claim that the latter are still members of the house of Israel. According to Ezekiel, to be an Israelite means to be a deportee. Although few texts outside Ezekiel are quite so overtly negative regarding Israel’s history, its reckoning of the significance of Jerusalem’s fall for Israelite identity resonates throughout the canon. With rare exceptions, the experience of deportation and life in Babylonia became thesine qua nonof Israelite identity: only those who had it could count themselves true members of post-597 Israel. As a construction of the cultural significance of trauma, therefore, Ezekiel was remarkably successful. Thereafter, the events of 597 were construed not simply as practically and politically catastrophic, but astraumatic: the new master narrative placed them front and centre, with indelible and profound consequences for Israel’s self-understanding.
A methodology for measuring the characteristic curvature of technical-grade ethoxylated nonionic surfactants: the effects of concentration and dilution
Authors: Ghayour Amir
Published: December 2022

Characterization of the behaviour of commercially available non-ionic surfactants has received considerable attention due to their efficacy in a variety of applications. The main challenge in the application of these types of surfactants is that the hydrophilicity of the surfactant varies with concentration and dilution due to the polydispersity of the ethylene oxide groups. The hydrophilicity of a surfactant can be quantified by the characteristic curvature (Cc) parameter of the hydrophilic–lipophilic difference (HLD) framework. In this work, a model based on natural logarithmic regression was developed to calculate the Cc value of commercial surfactants as a function of surfactant concentration by a fast and simple phase scan. The slope of the Cc curve and the measured Cc at a reference concentration were used to develop the model. The Cc values determined with the model agreed with the measured values from the phase scans. Furthermore, the linear mixing rule proved to be reliable for mixtures of polydisperse ethoxylated surfactants. Finally, the impact of the water-to-oil ratio on the Cc was evaluated and the implications were discussed.

Published: December 2022

Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) umfasst Angebote, bei denen eine Maschine nicht mehr vom Kunden gekauft, sondern ihm gegen eine wiederkehrende Gebühr zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Die Gebühr richtet sich nach den gelieferten Werten, beispielsweise in Form der Maschinenverfügbarkeit, der Nutzungsdauer oder der von ihr produzierten Teile (Ergebnisse). Mit den erbrachten Werten geht bei EaaS-Angeboten die Übernahme unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägter Risiken seitens des Maschinenherstellers und dessen Geschäftspartner einher. Auf diese Art und Weise bieten EaaS-Angebote ein neues Instrument für die Handhabung von bestimmten Risiken in der Fertigung. Welche Risiken durch EaaS-Angebote abgedeckt werden können, wo die Einsatzpotenziale von EaaS-Lösungen im eigenen Fertigungsunternehmen liegen und wie konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen zu Einsatzszenarios von EaaS in Fertigungsunternehmen abgeleitet werden können, wird in der nachfolgenden Veröffentlichung aufgezeigt.

Remove Blur Image Using Bi-Directional Akamatsu Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform
Authors: Andono Pulung Nurtantio , Sari Christy Atika
Published: December 2022

Purpose: Image is an imitation of everything that can be materialized, and digital images are taken using a machine. Although digital image capture uses machines, digital images are not free from interference. Image restoration is needed to restore the quality of the damaged image.Methods: Bi-directional Akamatsu Transform is proven to have an effective performance in reducing blur in images. Meanwhile, Discrete Wavelet Transform has been widely used in digital image processing research. We had been investigated the image restoration method by combining Bi-directional Akamatsu Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform. Bi-directional Akamatsu Transform applied in Low-Low (LL) sub-band is the Discrete Wavelet Transform decomposition image most similar to the original image before decomposing. In this study, there are still shortcomings, including the determination of the values of N, up_enh, and down_enh, which are still manual. Manually setting the three values makes the Bi-directional Akamatsu Transform method not get the best results. With the use of machine learning methods can get better restoration results. Further testing is also needed for a more diverse and robust blur. The image data has a resolution of 256x256, 512x512, and 1024x1024. The image will be directly converted to a grey-scale image. The converted image will be given an attack model: average blur, gaussian blur, and motion blur. The image that has been attacked will apply two restoration methods: the proposed method and the Bi-direction Akatamatsu Transform. These two restoration images will then be compared using PSNR.Result: The average PSNR value from the restoration of the proposed method is 0.1446 higher than the average PSNR value from the restoration of the Bi-directional Akamatsu Transform method. When we compare it with the average PSNR value of the Akamatsu Transform restoration method, the average PSNR of the proposed method is 0.2084.Value: The combination of DWT and akamatsu transform results produce good PSNR values even though they have gone through the blurring method in image restoration.

Authors: Zhang Yaokun , Lin Xiuyi , Hu Chuanshuang , Yun Hong
Published: December 2022

Activated carbon was prepared from waste melamine-impregnated paper (MIP) by pyrolysis with activation by NaOH. The adsorption parameters such as carbonization temperature (300, 350, 400, 450 °C), NaOH to C ratio (2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1), and initial methylene blue (MB) dye concentration (20 to 600 mg/L) were studied. The adsorption results were fit by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetics. It was found that the activated carbon from MIP had a maximum adsorption capacity of 497 mg/g at 400 °C (carbonization temperature) and NaOH to C ratio (2:1). The highest removal of methylene blue (MB) via activated carbon was 99.4%. The π-π interaction between dye molecules and MIP active carbon was proposed to be a primary driving force for dye adsorption. This activated carbon adsorbent based on MIP was shown to be highly promising for water decontamination applications.

Authors: Nooryaneti Megayulia , Irawan Chairul , Tuhuloula Abubakar
Published: December 2022

The growth of the textile industry, including the Sasirangan textile industry, is increasing yearly, producing large amounts of liquid waste. Generally, this wastewater is discharged into the environment without treatment, becoming a source of environmental pollution. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce these pollutants. Various methods, not only physical and chemical but also biological methods, are available to remediate wastewater. Phytoremediation has provided an economical, environmentally friendly, and aesthetic solution to remediate wastewater. This study aimed to utilize the Water Hyacinth plant as a phytoremediator and determine its effect in reducing Total Suspended Solid and colors in the liquid waste of the Sasirangan textile industry. This research begins by preparing Water Hyacinth plants. Next, the characterization of Water Hyacinth roots using FTIR and SEM. Finaly, the acclimatization of water Hyacinth, followed by a phytoremediation process for 15 days. Based on the results of the characterization of Water Hyacinth roots with FTIR, it shows that Water Hyacinth roots contain functional groups O-H strain, C-H vibrations, C=O strain, C-H deformation, and C-O stretching. Observations with SEM showed that the roots of Water Hyacinth were extremely unstructured and had pores. However, it has cavities which are pores in cellulose. The significant decrease in Total Suspended Solid was at 9 days of phytoremediation, which was 54 mg/L (71.12% removal). The optimum color reduction within 9 days of phytoremediation was 81.5 PtCo (92.26% removal). The presence of these functional groups and pores, strengthened by the analysis of Total Suspended Solid and colors, showed that Water Hyacinth could reduce levels of Total Suspended Solids and colors in the Sasirangan textile wastewater.
Donor Human Milk for the High-Risk Infant: Preparation, Safety, and Usage Options in the United States
Authors:   COMMITTEE ON NUTRITION,   SECTION ON BREASTFEEDING,   COMMITTEE ON FETUS AND NEWBORN
Published: December 2022

The use of donor human milk is increasing for high-risk infants, primarily for infants born weighing <1500 g or those who have severe intestinal disorders. Pasteurized donor milk may be considered in situations in which the supply of maternal milk is insufficient. The use of pasteurized donor milk is safe when appropriate measures are used to screen donors and collect, store, and pasteurize the milk and then distribute it through established human milk banks. The use of nonpasteurized donor milk and other forms of direct, Internet-based, or informal human milk sharing does not involve this level of safety and is not recommended. It is important that health care providers counsel families considering milk sharing about the risks of bacterial or viral contamination of nonpasteurized human milk and about the possibilities of exposure to medications, drugs, or herbs in human milk. Currently, the use of pasteurized donor milk is limited by its availability and affordability. The development of public policy to improve and expand access to pasteurized donor milk, including policies that support improved governmental and private financial support for donor milk banks and the use of donor milk, is important.

Provision of mother’s own milk for hospitalized very low birth weight (VLBW) (≤1500 g) infants in the NICU provides short- and long-term health benefits. Mother’s own milk, appropriately fortified, is the optimal nutrition source for VLBW infants. Every mother should receive information about the critical importance of mother's own milk to the health of a VLBW infant. Pasteurized human donor milk is recommended when mother’s own milk is not available or sufficient. Neonatal health care providers can support lactation in the NICU and potentially reduce disparities in the provision of mother’s own milk by providing institutional supports for early and frequent milk expression and by promoting skin-to-skin contact and direct breastfeeding, when appropriate. Promotion of human milk and breastfeeding for VLBW infants requires multidisciplinary and system-wide adoption of lactation support practices.
… Quid sit Amor… •
Authors: Pilipović Jelena
Published: December 2022

The paper examines the parallelisms in the poetic presentation of love as a phenomenon and Love as a divine figure in the fragments of the Aeolian poetess Sappho and in Vergil's Eclogues. Having shown the strong echoes of Sappho's opus in the Roman culture of Vergil's time, the research focuses on analogies at the semantic and expressive level. The two poets share a vision of love/Love as a deeply destructive force, which threatens human existence – a vision introduced by Hesiod – but they also share some refined models of sublimating that destructiveness. The paper particularly explores those models and the layering of thought that the motif of love acquires, thanks to them.

“Cup of Pharaoh” from Samarra and the Reuse of Ancient spolia as Water Features in the medieval Islamic World
Authors: Brown Peter J
Published: December 2022

This paper opens with a consideration of the biography of a large basin discovered during excavations at the Abbasid capital of Samarra. The large, circular, basin from Samarra closely matches historical descriptions of a fountain located in the city’s Congregational Mosque which became known as “kasat firun,” or the “Cup of Pharaoh” and, since its discovery, this excavated basin and the historical account of the fountain have often been conflated as one and the same. The excavated basin is carved from a non-local—and probably Egyptian—stone which may have generated its mysterious association with the Pharaonic past. A consideration of the possible sources from which such a large stone basin might have been obtained during the Islamic period, however, opens up a wider discussion related to the reuse of pre-Islamic artefacts as water features. This paper explores possible scenarios through which the basin from Samarra might have been acquired by the Abbasid caliphs alongside the logistics associated with its transport to Samarra. In addition, the likely motivations for the installation of this enigmatic stone basin are evaluated—including pragmatic reuse of an impressive piece of stonework, a symbolic statement of contemporary pre-eminence over the rulers of the past or perhaps even beliefs in the quasi-magical powers of ancient objects. Alongside this, the existence of several comparable, near-contemporary, basins, demonstrate that the reuse of objects from the past as contemporary water features in important locations, was a wider practice seen in both the Islamic world and beyond. As an object that seems to have led multiple lives, the complex biography of the basin from Samarra illuminates the ways in which material remains of the past were understood and repurposed during the Abbasid Caliphate.

Authors: Blake Robin
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the Pests and Beneficials Group is to provide a forum for discussion of relevant research results and new legislation and impact on integrated pest management. The objective of this meeting was to understand better how to deliver practical IPM solutions to farmers. This
starts with the policy context, followed by research that can be done and finally the delivery of tools and information to famers and the successful implementation of IPM in the field. The meeting also sought to highlight the need to integrate the thinking about the implications of combining
IPM management decisions for insect, disease and weed pests and the trade-offs that may have to be made as a result. Cathryn Lambourne, Knowledge Transfer Manager from Agrifood section of the KTN (Knowledge Transfer Network), UKRI provided an account of the work of the KTN, particularly in
the Agrifood sector, providing support for those seeking information, funding, and connections within the industry followed by a short outline of the principles of IPM.

The spine occupies a special place in the complex anatomical structure of the human body and is, on the one hand, the centerof statics and movement, and on the other, a protective frame for the nerve roots and spinal cord. Wide connections betweenthe structures of the spinal canal and other organs determine their participation in the formation of many different syndromes.It can be confidently stated that the aphorism «all diseases are caused by the nerves» gave way to the thesis «all diseases arecaused by the spine». However, it is important to clearly differentiate vertebrogenically caused syndromes from somato-neurological manifestations of various diseases. Objective. To draw the attention of the general medical community to the problem of overdiagnosis of vertebrobogenic syndromes. Methods. Relevant literature in specialized sources for the last 10 years and own 25-year experience at the Sytenko Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology National Academy of Medical Sciencesof Ukraine. Results. Own experience and published information indicate the polymorphism of complaints with which patientsturn to a vertebrologist. Syndromes associated with changes in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine areconsidered. The attention is focused on their anatomical features. The necessary studies are indicated for the differentialdiagnosis of the vertebrogenic origin of clinical manifestations from other diseases depending on the level of the spine. Conclusions. The diagnosis of vertebrogenic disorders should not be confused with diseases that are not directly related to the spine or to the locomotor system in general. This attitude can deprive the doctor of the opportunity to diagnose the existing «nonvertebrogenic disease». Only a complex and thorough analysis of clinical and paraclinical data, coordinated work of doctors of all specialties make it possible to establish an accurate diagnosis, which will provide pathogenetically conditioned treatment.
Acetabulum fractures. Analysis of treatment results

Published: December 2022

Treatment of patients with acetabulum fractures (AF) remains a big challenge for orthopaedists and traumatologists. Suchfractures are known for their complications that lead to disability. Objective. To analyze the results of treatment of patientswith AF and complications that arise depending on the of the injury mechanism and the method of treatment, to evaluate the effectiveness available methods of preventing the development of these complications. Methods. A retrospective study wasdone on the basis of 89 AF patients analysis (age 17‒75 years, 22 women and 67 men) with different terms after the fracture.The majority of patients got primary care in other clinics. Diagnostic measures: clinical examination; X-ray examinationof the pelvis, that under conditions of acute injuries were supplemented with CT scan; ultrasound of abdominal cavity,chest X-ray, brain MRI, electroneuromyography of the lower limbs. Results. Most AF occurred as a result of traffic accidents.The most common types are A1 and B1 according to the classification of AO/ASIF. The system of skeletal traction has beenapplied often at the stage of primary treatment. During surgical treatment the Kocher-Langenbeck approach and osteosynthesis was mainly used to stabilize the posterior wall and acetabulum column. The typical complications of AF are coxarthrosis, femoral head aseptic necrosis despite the chosen treatment tactics. Their clinical manifestation with the hip impaired function occurred within a year after the trauma. Defined complications led to the need for total hip replacement in 67 (75.3 %) cases out of 89. In 8 patients, total hip replacement was performed in the acute period of injury and it was possible to restore the joint function with better early functional results compared to the rest of the patients. Conclusions. Primary total hip replacement in the case of AF is an effective treatment measure that gives the posibility restore the function of the hip joint in the shortest time and prevent the development of typical complications.

Natural killer cells (NK cells) represent a group of lymphocytes of innate immunity. In addition to NK cells of peripheral blood, tissue-resident populations are described. NK cells of the decidual envelope (decidual NK cells) represent one of the local NK cell populations. Decidual NK cells differ in phenotype and function from peripheral blood NK cells. These cells have, mainly, regulatory functions. At the same time they retain the ability to perform cytotoxic effects. In the uterus, NK cells are located closely to the cells of fetal origin, i.e., trophoblast cells, which differentiate from the outer layer of the invading blastocyst. The purpose of the review article was to analyze the literature data on the studies of the molecular interactions between NK cells and trophoblast cells, as well as potential means of regulating these interactions. The review presents currently available data on receptor-mediated effects (due to adhesion molecules and cytotoxic receptors) and distant interactions (involving cytokines, chemokines and growth factors secreted by the both cell types) between NK population and trophoblast cells. The receptors regulating contacts of NK cells and trophoblast cells with extracellular matrix are also considered. The review provides information on activation of signaling pathways in NK cells and trophoblast cells resulting from their interaction with each other and components of the extracellular matrix. Currently, the molecular mechanisms regulating the NK cell functions and their interaction with trophoblast cells have not been studied sufficiently. The authors attempted to consider molecular regulation of the functional activity of NK cells mediated by the molecular complex of RNA polymerase II. We also describe participation of cyclin-dependent CDK8/19 kinases which comprise a part of the mediator complex which provides functioning of immune cells. The data on the participation of CDK8/19 in regulation of intracellular signaling pathways, as well as influence of CDK8/19 on the NK cell functions, are considered. Summarizing the data presented in the literature, one may emphasize that there is an extensive mutual influence of NK cells and trophoblast cells in decidual lining of uterus during pregnancy, thus leading to a changes in phenotype and functions of these cells. Experimental studies are required on the contribution of molecular mechanisms involved in transcription and translation processes to the biology of NK cells, and their role in maintaining interactions between NK cells and trophoblast cells, including the pathways involving CDK8/19.
