The second part (for the first part of the article, see No. 6, 2024) of the work describes the production indicators of fertile female hybrids between Kaluga females and sterlet males, and also provides a comparison with the previously described indicators of hybrids between sterlet females and Kaluga males. The study of the production parameters of reciprocal hybrids in the process of long-term formation of breeding stocks is of both scientific and practical interest. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the fish-breeding, biological and production characteristics of female hybrids, and the effectiveness of their use as promising objects for obtaining food caviar. The maturation periods, inter-spawning intervals, the weight of the eggs obtained and the weight of the eggs, fertility and oosomatic indices of 67 females of 5 age-related generations of reciprocal hybrids from the warmwater farm of the Primorsky Territory weighing from 17 to 35 kg, participating in 87 spawning campaigns from the age of 9 to 14–18 years, were studied. One of the generations is represented by real albinos of lemon-yellow color with red eyes and light caviar. The conducted studies have shown that the number of fertile females in different generations varies from 10 to 30%, but from 25% of females it was not possible to obtain eggs even once. Females begin to mature at the age of 9–12 years, the duration of maturation of all females of the same generation reaches 8–10 years. Most females skip 2–4 years between spawning or mature once. Caviar resorption in winter occurs in 17–42% of female hybrids. On average, during one spawning, females produce from 1,5 to 1,7 kg of eggs with an average weight of 23 mg of eggs. The production performance of hybrids is significantly lower compared to hybrids between beluga and sterlet (besters). Due to their biological characteristics and low productivity, reciprocal hybrids between Kaluga and sterlet are of greater scientific interest for genetic research than as producers of caviar. The cultivation of hybrids in order to obtain industrial volumes of caviar for food purposes is recognized as costly, ineffective and inexpedient.

The intensity of oxidative processes in immunocompetent organs of immature bream Abramis brama L. with an average weight of 375±30 g and length of 290±20 cm was studied. The fish were caught with shuttle nets in the Volga Plec of the Rybinsk reservoir in different years in terms of average daily temperature conditions. After autopsy, samples of immunocompetent organs (kidney, spleen and liver) were taken from captured fish into sterile tubes. Samples were then frozen and stored in a freezer at minus 18–20 °C until processing time. In laboratory conditions, samples were thawed at room temperature immediately before analysis. For further studies, homogenate was prepared from kidney, spleen and liver tissues using a homogenizer with physiological solution in the ratio of 1:1. In the homogenates the content of lipid peroxidation products was studied by the content of malonic dialdehyde and the level of antioxidant defense by the index of inhibition of substrate oxidation. The interannual variability of the studied parameters was noted, associated with ecological and climatic conditions, in particular, with temperature. The most significant differences of the studied biochemical parameters were revealed in the year with the highest temperature conditions compared to the year with the lowest temperature. The lowest values of malonic dialdehyde and substrate oxidation constant were observed in fish in the year with the lowest average daily temperature. In warmer year intensification of lipid peroxidation processes and decrease of antioxidant defense level in the studied organs were observed. The results obtained can be used in monitoring the impact of climatic factors on the physiological and biochemical status of fish.

Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Krutko A. A.
Published: September 2024

The article describes the priorities of Russian Federation’s chairmanship of the Commonwealth of Independent States in 2024. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by Russia's clear intention over the past few years to intensify its policy in the Commonwealth, among other things, in order to stop «unfriendly actions of foreign states» provoking «disintegration processes in neighboring countries». The main substantive aspect of the article was the analysis of primary source documentation related to the activities of the CIS as an international organization. Special attention is paid to the study of planned activities aimed at implementing the operational concept of Russia's chairmanship of the CIS, the Greater European Partnership Initiative realization and expected progress in various fi elds (in terms of how Russia contextualize it). It is noted that Russia's chairmanship of the CIS will be used by the country, fi rst of all, to deepen the integration in the economic sphere, and also for the development of humanitarian contacts with the Commonwealth countries. The author highlighted the main areas («politics», «economics and fi nance», «energy and transport», «environmental issues», «IT sector», «law enforcement, security, and defense», «science, education, and culture»), in which Russia intends to act as a leader of the Commonwealth, offering its own agenda for multilateral negotiations and the ways of further integration. This article, in addition to the achievements, plans and prospects of the Commonwealth development, addresses some problems that the organization faces nowadays. Given the results of the study, the author makes reasonable forecasts for achieving tangible results of Russia’s chairmanship of the CIS in 2024.

With the establishment of the unipolar format, the Republic of Turkey faced new threats of weakening its importance as a strategic ally of NATO in the Middle East region. The existing risks of Turkey's eventual transformation into a peripheral state of North Atlantic politics have prompted the Turkish leadership, represented by the new government headed by Erdogan, to take concrete steps to review and constructively change the country's foreign policy course. Turkish policy, based on the concept of pan-Turkism, is aimed at developing relations and promoting the concept of Organizing Turkic-speaking states and forming the "Army of the Great Turan".

Актуальність дослідження. Сьогодні в умовах війни в українців істотних змін зазнали індивідуальні значення багатьох концептів. Такі чинники як вимушене переселення в інший регіон чи країну, втрата домівки, відмова від звичних умов проживання та змушеність пристосовуватись до нових, фактично поділили життя багатьох наших співвітчизників на «до» та «після». У цьому контексті виявляється доцільним визначення психолінгвістичного значення концепту «ностальгія».

Мета дослідження – виявити психолінгвістичне значення концепту «ностальгія» у свідомості українців.

Результати. Виявлено асоціації до слова-стимулу ностальгія по п’яти та по першій реакції, описано його психолінгвістичне значення, здійснено порівняння асоціацій українців, що залишились вдома, переїхали та повернулись і не повернулись під час війни.

Висновки. Виходячи з результатів семантичної інтерпретації концепту «ностальгія» слід зазначити, що він асоціюється з домом (домівкою), дитинством, батьківщиною, супроводжується тугою, смутком, радістю, передбачає певні спогади, що можуть стосуватися також моря та друзів. В асоціативному полі даного концепту найбільшу групу асоціатів склали ті, що описують його об'єкт – спрямованість ностальгії. Значну групу периферійних та поодиноких реакцій склали лексеми, що належать до асоціативного поля індивідуальної тематики.

CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE “2014 SHANGHAI STAMPEDE” CASE
Authors: Chen Zhe
Published: September 2024

The modern digital world is dominated by new media, which, compared to traditional
ones, are characterized by promptness, interactivity, which often leads to distortions
of transmitted information. The latter circumstance is especially important in the
communication between the authorities and society in crisis situations: to promptly
place an official statement from the authorities, to stop the spread of rumors and knock
down the wave of panic. The article analyzes the crisis communication of the authorities
and society on the example of the “2014 Shanghai Stampede” case on December 31st, 2014,
as a result of which 36 people died and 49 suffered. Photos and videos of this event
spread uncontrollably around the world through social media, which caused a whole wave
of alarming rumors. As an empirical material for the analysis, traditional Chinese media
were involved: the “People’s daily” newspaper, the “Liberation Daily” newspaper, the
“Shanghai Issue” account on Weibo from January 1 to January 21, 2015. The purpose of the
article is to analyze the crisis communication practices of Shanghai municipal
authorities with the public, to identify the used situational communication strategies
and to evaluate them taking the Chinese specifics into account.

Authors: Shesterina A. M. , Sterlicov D. A.
Published: September 2024

The mediatization of many spheres of our life, including education, makes it
logical to question the connection between educational practices and traditions formed
in the media sphere. In the field of audiovisual practices this need is especially
obvious. Reading and recording video lectures on the canons of traditional teaching.
Direct and unenriched recording of the lecturer’s monologue, although acceptable (and in
some cases effective), has lost its relevance for most educational projects. The latter
poses the challenge for researchers to study the possibilities of producing educational
packages based on methods and techniques common in modern media. In our study, based on
an analysis of the practice of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov we
will specify the most successful approaches to creating video lectures and increasing
the efficiency of their perception.
THE FIRST SETTLETS OF THE VILLAGES IN KOLODNY
Authors: Paholkova T. V.
Published: September 2024

The article is aimed at discovering unpublished archival documents from the early
17th century on the territory on the border of modern Cherepovetsky and Ustyuzhensky
districts of the Vologda region. This microregion was inhabited long before written
evidence of the names of the inhabitants appeared. But due to the lack of interest of
scientists, as well as due to blurred boundaries and administrative changes, the
territory with the original name of Kolodny remains almost unexplored. The article gives
a short introduction about the nameless settlers based on archaeological data. This is
followed by potentially possible sources on the population before the 17th century, the
rationale for the desolation of once inhabited villages and the specific names of the
first settlers of the territory of Kolodny, Belozersky district, Nadporozhsky stan,
Andoga volost, from the scribe book of 1626-27. The author gives an interpretation of
the lands of the specified microregion in modern semantic terms. The result of this work
is the expansion of information on the Belozersk-Ustyuzhna border of the early 17th
century and the arousal of genealogical interest among the descendants named in the
article.

Published: September 2024

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the introduction of new technologies by an oil company requires significant investments and scientific research. This proves the importance of forming an effective investment strategy aimed at ensuring long-term business development. The current state of investments in the oil sector is characterized not only by significant amounts of capital investments, but also by those significant transformations in technological and economic aspects that cause situations of uncertainty and risk. The article proposes a methodology for as-sessing the investment risks of an oil company in the refining segment. The proposed methodology makes it possible to make a more informed choice of strategic investment directions, considering risk factors. Currently, thereare numerous studies on the assessment of uncertainty and risk associ-ated with investment decisions. At the same time, it should be noted that the position of the scien-tific community on the development of appropriate methodologies for assessing, accounting, and forecasting uncertainty and risk factors is not uniform. Within the framework of the proposed methodology, investment risk is defined as the probability of loss of investments and income. The purpose of the study is to develop methodological tools for assessing the investment risks of an oil company in the refining segment. The authors of the work carried out a systematization of invest-ment risks in the refining segment. It is proposed to use a modified Bayes formula to assess investment risks. The developed methodology for assessing investment risks is based on determining those strategic investment directions, the implementation of which will ensure a minimum level of expected losses, considering the assessment of the generalized risk level. Clarifying risk priorities will make it possible to develop a risk response program in a timely manner, thereby minimizing the potential manifestation of critical risk factors and possible losses of the oil company in the implementation of strategic investment directions.

Authors: Nuhu Garko Mustapha , Dulawat Shashivendra , Ahmad Esar , Sarki Ubayi Salihu , Abdullahi Ibrahim Ibrahim
Published: September 2024

For decades studies have investigated using marble waste as a partial replacement for conventional materials in concrete. This review examines the findings on substituting marble waste for coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and cement. The studies accessed suggest that replacing up to 50% of coarse aggregate with marble waste can improve the concrete's mechanical properties and durability. Using marble waste for up to 20% of fine aggregate in concrete, mortars, and self-compacting concrete improves workability, compressive strength, and sustainability. Additionally, substituting up to 10% of cement with marble dust helps reduce cement consumption and the environmental impact of concrete production. The benefits of using marble waste include better mechanical properties, cost savings, and a smaller ecological footprint. Despite the numerous benefits, gaps in research persist, particularly in long-term performance studies, standardized testing methods, and comprehensive life cycle assessments. This review highlights the potential of marble waste as a valuable resource in the concrete industry and underscores the need for further research to optimize its use and fully realize its benefits in sustainable construction practices.

Published: September 2024

Prosopis juliflora pods (PJP) are a source of raw energy and are a suitable meal for ruminants. The objective of this study is to assess the growth performance, nutrient intake, digestibility, and carcass characteristics of Black goat kids fed finishing diets replacing barley grains with PJP. For an 80-day feeding period, thirty-two weaned male kids (body weight = 16.8±0.91 kg; age = 110±3 days) were randomized to receive one of the four treatment diets. Experimental diets were 0 (CON), 10 (PJP10), 15 (PJP15), and 20 (PJP20), with all diets being similar in terms of metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP). Intake values were similar except for ether extract which was higher (P<0.05) for the PJP20 group and acid detergent fiber which was higher (P<0.05) for the PJP15 kids. Intakes of CP, organic matter (OM), dry matter (DM), and neutral detergent fiber were unaffected. The feed conversion ratio, average daily gain, and final live weight of the treatment groups were similar. With the ADF that was not different, results of digestibility were better (P<0.05) for the PJP20 group but mostly not different from the control group. Regarding meat dressing-out % and carcass cuts and linear dimensions, hot and cold carcass weight, and fasting live weight, no variations were found across the treatment diets. The total lean % in racks was greater (P<0.05) in the CON and PJP15 groups. The meat-to-bone ratio in racks and shoulders was the lowest (P<0.05) in the PJP20 group compared to the other groups. This study highlighted the impacts of PJP on the growth of Black goat kids without having adverse effects on growth performance, carcass characteristics, or meat quality.
Formation of pseudo-morphic domain in Cr2O3(0001) epitaxial film grown on α-Al2O3(0001) and its effect on Néel temperature

Published: September 2024

To address the issue of the impact of the epitaxial strain on the Néel temperature T
N, we investigated the formation of the epitaxial domain in the Cr2O3 layer grown on the α-Al2O3(0001) substrate isostructural to Cr2O3 and determined T
N of the fabricated films. We varied the sputtering power for the Cr2O3 growth from 10 W to 40 W to alter the strain condition of the epitaxial film. When the sputtering power is 10 W, the single epitaxial domain is formed, whereas the pseudo-morphic and relaxed domains coexist for the sputtering power above 20 W. T
N decreased from about 271 K to below 252 K accompanied by the formation of the two types of epitaxial domains. The lattice parameters of the pseudo-morphic domain are beyond the elastic deformation approximation adopted in the theoretical approaches, suggesting that the correlation between the T
N value and the microstructure also goes beyond the existing theoretical framework.
Evaluation of the Impact of Monetary Policy on the Financial Performance of Manufacturing Companies: Implications of Interest Rates, Inflation and Macroeconomic Stability

Published: September 2024

This study aims to evaluate the impact of monetary policy on the financial performance of manufacturing companies in Indonesia, emphasising the implications of interest rates, inflation, and macroeconomic stability. Using a quantitative approach through multiple regression analysis, this study analyzes the relationship between monetary policy variables of Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate, inflation rate, exchange rate, foreign exchange reserves, and budget deficit with the company's financial performance, as measured using Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM). Secondary data used in this study include the annual financial reports of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2015-2023. The study results indicate that the benchmark interest rate has a significant negative effect on ROA and ROE. In contrast, the inflation rate shows varying impacts on NPM and other financial performance. In addition, macroeconomic stability is measured through indicators of the rupiah exchange rate against the USD, foreign exchange reserves, and budget deficit, which significantly affect the company's financial performance. These findings emphasize the importance of monetary policy and macroeconomic stability in determining the profitability of manufacturing companies in Indonesia. This study implies that corporate management needs to develop more adaptive strategies to deal with fluctuations in monetary policy and macroeconomic conditions. In addition, policymakers need to consider the long-term impact of monetary policy on the manufacturing sector to create an economic environment conducive to industrial growth. This study contributes significantly to the literature on the impact of monetary policy on corporate financial performance in emerging markets.
ENDOSCOPIC VS OPEN APPROACH TO PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST DRAINAGE: A TWO CENTRE EXPERIENCE

Published: September 2024

Pancreatic pseudocyst is one of the most common sequelae to pancreatitis and the most common approach to it is surgical cystogastrostomy. There
are less invasive methods and this study aims to compare endoscopic vs open surgical cystogastrostomy as a two centre experience as there is no
overall consensus on the approach especially in Indian context.
20 patients wth chronic pancreatitis and symptomatic pseudocyst diagnosed according to ATLANTA classication were included in study. 10
underwent surgical management and 10 underwent EUS guided drainage.
Patients were followed up over a period of 6 months to check for pseudocyst recurrence. The primary outcome was treatment success- dened as
resolution of pseudocyst and symptoms and complications. Secondary outcomes evaluated were length of hospital stay and recurrence of
collection.
Both endoscopic and surgical approach had 100% success rate. In the surgical group one patient developed wound dehiscence and 1 developed
recurrence of pseudocyst. No such incident noted in the endoscopic group. Hospital stay was found to be lower in the group treated via endoscopic
approach (mean 3 days, p value 0.0006).
This study demonstrates that EUS guided cystogastrostomy is a valid approach to pancreatic pseudocyst.

Brain space occupying lesions (SOLs) may present acutely with symptoms of brainstem compression, herniation, or even death, more so in
posterior fossa, primarily because of the limited space within it. A young female, 31 yrs old, with Case: history of holocranial headache and gait
instability for last 5-6 months. CT Scan and MRI was suggestive of intra-axial ,infratentorial , heterogenous mass in right cerebellar region with
areas of hypo and hyeprintensities (solid and cystic components seen) (?partially calcied mass) with effacement of 4th ventricle. After HPE, it was
diagnosed to be a case of Oligodendroglioma( WHO grade II). Being a rare location(usually supratento Conclusion: rial), they require careful
evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and is still responsible for the most of the cancer deaths. Though exposure to tobacco smoke
continues to be the primary etiological factor, lung cancer is also a signicant health problem in those with no history of smoking. Lung cancer in
people who have never smoked (LCINS) is distinct enough from an epidemiologic and biologic standpoint to be considered a separate entity.
Currently , LCINS is projected to be the fth most common cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Metastases are quite common and patients
may present with non pulmonary symptoms which need early evaluation and diagnosis.

Aims: This study aims to elucidate distinct radiological ndings associated with various types of viral encephalitis through a detailed analysis of
MRI and CT imaging. By examining characteristic imaging patterns specic to each viral pathogen, the objective is to enhance diagnostic precision
and facilitate prompt therapeutic interventions, thereby improving clinical outcomes. A retrospectiv Materials and Methods: e review was
conducted at the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Bapuji Hospital, JJM Medical College, Davangere, Karnataka. MRI scans were performed using a
PHILIPS 1.5T MRI MACHINE, and relevant CT scans were included where available. Imaging data from patients diagnosed with viral
encephalitis, including dengue, herpes simplex, Japanese encephalitis, varicella zoster, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), acute
disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and Rasmussen's encephalitis, were analyzed for characteristic features. MRI emerges as Conclusion:
the preferred imaging modality for assessing viral encephalitis, showcasing distinctive features such as T2 hyperintensity in specic brain regions
and patterns of diffusion restriction and contrast enhancement. These ndings play a pivotal role in differentiating between viral etiologies and
guiding appropriate clinical management strategies for optimizing patient care and outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Dental professionals are being asked increasingly to give high-quality dental care to patients with inherited or acquired disorders that has affected
their bleeding and clotting systems. Bleeding disorders are classied as- vessel wall disorders, platelet disorders, coagulation disorders and
brinolytic disorders. Transient or persistent thrombocytopenia is characterstics of an autoimmune blood dyscrasia known as idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). This platelet disorder of unknown etiology is presented with purple bruises brought on by subcutaneous
hemorrhage which is termed as purpura. While some people exhibit no symptoms at all, others do exhibit signs like petechiaes, easy bruising, lower
leg bruising, abrupt nasal bleeding, and gingival bleeding. Oral manifestations of this, includes hematomas, petechiae, ecchymosis,
telangiectasias, vesicles and hemorrhagic blisters. Dentists need to focus on the management of patients with such disorders which requires a
thorough dental and medical evaluation of the patient, prior to treatment, particularly if an invasive dental procedure is being planned. Being and
endodontist, present with several complications while treating a patient with such condition, as various problems can be encountered- be it using a
Local Anaesthesia prior to procedure or undergoing restorative or surgical treatment. This review focuses on various endodontic considerations
that should be undertaken while performing root canal therapy, in general, with patients presenting with given anomaly. Furthermore,
complications associated with administration of Local anaesthesia in patients with ITP- formation of ecchymosis and measures taken to prevent it
prior, during and post treatment are discussed in detail.
Fenomenologisch schrijven
Authors: de Ronde Michiel , Muijen Heidi
Published: September 2024

De fenomenologie is de wetenschappelijke benadering die de werkelijkheid wil beschrijven zoals die zich in haar betekenisvolheid aan ons voordoet. Het is de filosofische stroming die zich richt op het overgangsgebied tussen mens en wereld. De fenomenologie houdt zich niet bezig met een wereld die los van de mens verkrijgbaar is; zij richt zich op de zin-dragende, maar even zo vaak ook verwarrende, manier waarop die wereld aan de mens verschijnt. De fenomenologie is met haar onderzoek ook niet gericht op de psychologische of neurologische processen die ten grondslag liggen aan de wijze waarop de mens betekenis verleent aan die wereld. Ze houdt zich bezig met de ervaren betekenis zelf, die zich ontvouwt in de wederkerige ontmoeting tussen mens en wereld. Kisner (2017) is een denker die veel aandacht besteedt aan deze wederkerigheid in het ontstaan van betekenis. Hij spreekt over mediale ontologie, een zijnsleer van het tussengebied. Hij haalt bijvoorbeeld Plato aan (Kisner, 2017, p.9): ‘Als bij gevolg het oog en een (…) wit object dat in het blikveld van het oog komt ( …) gewaarwording heeft verwekt (..), op dat precieze ogenblik gaan het zien (emanatie van de ogen) en de witheid (emanatie van het object) dat samen met de ogen de kleur baart, zich in de tussenruimte verplaatsen.’ (Uit de dialoog Theaetetus, vert. X. de Win; 156-157). Het fenomenologisch schrijven probeert ‘dat precieze ogenblik’ te vangen in taal, zodanig dat er recht gedaan wordt aan de betekenis die er al was, nog voor die woorden kon krijgen. Daarbij is de onderzoeker er niet alleen op gericht om dat ‘present moment’ van de geleefde ervaring (Stern, 2005) zodanig te beschrijven dat het zich voor een lezer als het ware opnieuw voordoet, hij wil het ook beschrijven om het voor zichzelf (en via hem natuurlijk ook voor de lezer) op zijn betekenis te onderzoeken. Schrijven ís onderzoeken. Het schrijven behelst een actief en receptief zoeken naar de woorden die ons helpen om de betekenisvolheid van de verschijnselen en daarmee onze betrekking tot de wereld te verstaan.
The Historicization and Theorization of Spatial Ruin in Wounded Baghdad
Authors: Al-Shamali Farah
Published: September 2024

Be it a consideration of the ruptured spatialities and urban forms of Baghdad in the present or reaching back into a volatile past, the city lives out arresting contradictions that beckon a different kind of understanding. Spatial woundedness carries within it many implications for how that pain is rendered. This is most visible in forms of cultural production that have settled the hurt exacted into a place of innovation. It is a full mutuality between architecture and the destruction that has violently defaced it so much so that a new image of urbanity begins to emerge. Beyond the agony felt by the capital, intellectualizing the spatial wound that has manifested and been given life as it were suggests a pressing need to comprehend this phenomenology. Historicizing and then theorizing what is a poetics of destruction assists in coming to comprehend not simply the features of an urban character necessarily born out of ruin but doing so against an orientalist narrative that seeks to entrench the Baghdadi space in perpetual liminality. The city fights back so that it may have a chance to survive but also creates lasting meaning between the real and unreal.
Eosinophilic Changes in Peripheral Blood during Pregnancy in HIV-Positive Mothers
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi , Obeagu Getrude Uzoma
Published: September 2024

Eosinophils are critical components of the immune system, involved in allergic reactions, defense against parasitic infections, and modulation of immune responses. During pregnancy, the immune system undergoes significant adaptations, leading to changes in eosinophil dynamics that are essential for maintaining maternal-fetal tolerance. In HIV-positive mothers, these alterations may be further influenced by the immune dysregulation associated with HIV infection, resulting in complex eosinophilic changes in peripheral blood. This review explores the impact of pregnancy and HIV on eosinophil levels, examining how these changes can affect maternal and fetal health. Altered eosinophil dynamics during pregnancy in HIV-positive women have important implications for pregnancy outcomes. Eosinophils play a role in tissue remodeling and the immune response at the maternal-fetal interface, which is crucial for a successful pregnancy. Dysregulation of eosinophil function may lead to increased risks of complications such as gestational hypertension, preterm labor, and vertical transmission of HIV.
