We consider major congenital infections that access the placenta from hematogenous or decidual route. Here, we outline the anatomy of the human placenta and uterine lining, the decidua, and discuss the potential capacity of pathogen pattern recognition and other host defense strategies present in the innate immune cells at the placental-decidual interface. Innate immune responses, orchestrated by maternal and fetal cells at the decidual-placental interface, are the first line of defense to avoid vertical transmission. Infectious agents can potentially breach the placental barrier resulting in pathogenic transmission from mother to fetus. 3Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, Makerere University, Kampala, Ugandaĭuring pregnancy, the placenta forms the anatomical barrier between the mother and developing fetus.2Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.1Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge, United Kingdom.Regina Hoo 1,2, Annettee Nakimuli 1,3 and Roser Vento-Tormo 1,2 *

But a previous English translation of the Middle Commentary on the Categories appeared as recently as 1969.' In his Preface, Butterworth explains why a new translation is appropriate. The Middle Commentary on the De lnterpretatione has never before been translated into any language exce.pt Latin and Hebrew. (Nevertheless, as Butterworth points out, the Middle Commentary on the De Interpretatione strays rather far from Aristotle's own work.) These new translations of the middle commentaries are based on the most recent critical editions now being published by the American Research Center in Cairo. The purpose of these last appears to have been to explain the text of Aristotle clearly and concisely, with a minimum of digression. Averroes (1126-1198 ) wrote three different kinds of commentaries on Aristotle: short "epitomes," exhaustive "long" commentaries, and-as here-intermediate or "middle" commentaries. The volume is the first in a projected series of translations from the Arabic of Averroes's so-called "middle commentaries" on Aristotle's logical works, and on the Rhetoric and the Poetics.

It depends a lot on where I am in the writing process. Only later, when I was already thinking about the plot structure, did my mother discover the first version of Romeo & Juliet (written over a hundred years before Shakespeare’s tragedy) had been set there, and I thought to myself: wow!Ĭould you tell us about your writing life? What is your typical writing day like? WANNABE MAGAZINE: What inspired you to write your book “Juliet”?ĪNNE FORTIER: It was the city of Siena that inspired me to write an historical novel set in that very special place. She produced the movie “Fire and Ice”, which is a Grammy winning documentary. After growing up in Denmark, she went to USA to work in the film industry. Anne Fortier is an author of a bestseller book called “Juliet”. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Dreadnought book reviewI feel so lucky to have had two 5-star reads in a row courtesy of Netgalley ARCs! I knew this was going to be good from the start – you know how some authors are just so wonderfully competent that their characters jump off the page from the first chapter fully-formed like old friends that you’re catching up with and the writing has such a great ease and flow to it that you can plunge through several chapters and not even realize that you’re half-way through? That was my experience with this book. If Danny can’t sort through the confusion of coming out, master her powers, and stop Utopia in time, humanity faces extinction. Dreadnought’s murderer, a cyborg named Utopia, still haunts the streets of New Port City. It should be the happiest time of her life, but between her father’s dangerous obsession with curing her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like he’s entitled to date her, and the classmate who is secretly a masked vigilante, Danny’s first weeks living in a body that fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have imagined. But then her second-hand superpowers transformed her body into what she’s always thought it should be. Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, she was trying to keep people from finding out she’s transgender. Danny Tozer has a problem: she just inherited the powers of the world’s greatest superhero. If you enjoy science fiction books with a lot of action, then you will really enjoy this book. By Margaret Peterson Haddix, Cliff Nielsen, ISBN: 9780689824753, Paperback. Among the Hidden is a science fiction book that I could never put down. I had a lot of fun reading this book so much so that I have read through the entire series and even read this book multiple times. He knows that nobody can be home because the two kids aren’t home and the parents left for the day so Luke decides to go outside and investigate to see if they have a third child as well. One day, he sees a face peek through the window from one of his neighbors’ houses. Luke has to hide in his house and is unable to meet his relatives or even go to school for his own safety. The main character, Luke, is a third child so in other words, he is illegal. This is the reality of the characters in Among the Hidden by Margaret Haddix. Imagine a world where the government limits you to have two children in order to ration the world’s last resources. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Tubes by Andrew BlumIt fills enormous buildings, converges in some places and avoids others, and it flows through tubes under ground, up in the air, and under the oceans all over the world. After all, as Blum writes, the Internet exists: for all the talk of the "placelessness" of our digital age, the Internet is as fixed in real, physical places as any railroad or telephone ever was. When former Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska famously described the Internet as "a series of tubes," he seemed hopelessly, foolishly trapped in an old way of knowing the world. But connected to what, exactly? In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey to find out. An engaging, narrative tour behind the scenes of our everyday lives to see the dark beating heart of the Internet itself. Silk is a likable character who has her own unique voice and way of communicating with the reader. On a whim I picked up the first issue of Silk and much to my surprise enjoyed it. It turns out all of my assumptions were wrong. When I heard she was going to have her own series I assumed that it was just an attempt to cash in on Spiderverse, and that it would just be a tie-in (or fall out) book and not contribute much of anything *cough first 5 issues of Spider-Woman cough*. When I found out about Spiderverse I assumed she was just a character that was created for that event and would be of no major significance. When the character Silk was first introduced, back in Amazing Spider-man #4, I had no idea what to expect from her.

She published numerous scholarly articles, appeared in documentary films, and participated in public lectures. She published around 40 books, including works that ranged from essays, poetry, and children's books. The focus of hooks' writing was to explore the intersectionality of race, capitalism, and gender, and what she described as their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and class domination.
