Two centuries of the English novel: A co-authored monograph. In celebration of Prof. B. M. Proskurnin’s 70th anniversary
Authors: Egorova L. V.
Published: August 2023

In focus of this review is a co-authored monograph that examines novels by 19th to 21st c. English authors in order to trace the key evolutionary changes of this world literature’s most popular genre. In his introduction entitled ‘A well-made English novel’ [‘Khorosho sdelanniy angliyskiy roman’], Prof. B. Proskurnin shares several constructive ideas. He mentions that, at the very outset, the single requirement for the contributors was that they should choose the authors who interest them the most and inspire a study of their oeuvre through the prism of preserving the national genre memory and as an innovator of the genre. The volume explores unique artistic characteristics of the selected works which represent milestones in the history of the novel and sheds light on the functioning of the English novelistic tradition, nurtured by the creativity and innovative approach of writers like Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Antony Trollope, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, David Herbert Lawrence, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Ian McEwan, and Hilary Mantel.
Giovanni Boccaccio. Filostrato; Diana’s Hunt
Authors: Shapovalova A. A.
Published: August 2023

The review is devoted to a seminal event in Russian studies of Italian literature — the publication of a versified translation of Filostrato and Diana’s Hunt, Boccaccio’s first two works. Such a translation appears in the Russian language for the first time, thanks to the work of A. Triandafilidi and V. Oslon. Diana’s Huntis Boccaccio’s first completed poem in terza rima, a verse form previously used only by Dante. Filostrato holds a special place not only in Boccaccio’s legacy but also inworld literature. With its Graecised title and written in ottava rima, this narrative poem marks the departure from the classical literary canon in favour of folk urban culture and features the narrative devices and types of characters that would permeate subsequent Renaissance works. At the core of the poem is the story of Troilus and Cressida, one of literature’s archetypal couples of doomed lovers (along with Tristan and Isolde and Romeo and Juliet). The story later inspired Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde and Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida.
Lolita in the #MeToo era. New interpretations of Nabokov’s novel by contemporary female authors
Authors: Boyarkina P. V.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to ‘Nabokov’s imprint’ on several contemporary novels (K. E. Russell’s My Dark Vanessa, Lin Yi-Han’s Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise, and V. Springora’s Consent: A Memoir of Stolen Adolescence) that revisit the story of Lolita and relate it on behalf of the underage girl sexually abused by her teacher or tutor. The author explores the poetics of the novels and their emergence from feminist discourse and particularly the campaign against sexual harassment and rape culture that started in 2017 using the hashtag #MeToo. Detailed in P. Boyarkina’s study is the image of an unreliable narrator, brilliantly exploited by Nabokov, who teases his reader by letting them decide on the trustworthiness of the narrator’s story and where the author’s view ends and the narrator’s version begins. Modern novels tend to complicate things even further: the unreliable narrator successfully manipulates both the reader and the female protagonist who tells the story of love and abuse.
The anatomy of literary success. On the first bestselling book in the literature of Russian emigration
Authors: Melnikov N. G.
Published: August 2023

Only in the late 1980s, in the now legendary ‘perestroika’ times, the works of M. Osorgin began to be published in the USSR. The novel Sivtsev Vrazhek (1928), now rightfully considered the main artistic achievement of the writer, has gone through several publications and become the object of literary study included into academic programmes on Russian émigré literature. However, lost in the flow of ‘returned literature,’ Sivtsev Vrazhek did not cause a furor. It is hardly possible to talk about its popularity in modern Russia. Meanwhile, this novel is the only work of post-revolutionary Russian emigration which became an international bestseller in the interwar twenties. In his article, N. Melnikov focuses on Russian and English-speaking critics’ perception of Osorgin’s novel Sivtsev Vrazhek. On the basis of extensive material, such theoretical and literary problems as the interpretation of a work of art, the formation of a writer’s reputation, the phenomenon of success, etc. are comprehended.
IMPORT SUBSTITUTION POLICY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Tabolskaia Vaktoriia Valerevna
Published: August 2023

The system of import substitution in ensuring the economic security of the Russian Federation, discussed in the chapter, plays a rather important role. Import substitution should be to prevent too deep disproportions in the sectoral structure of the economy. This should be reflected in the achievement of sufficiently high guarantees of economic security, which is based on the scientific and technical equipment of the main industries, agriculture, production and social infrastructure.

A REPRESENTATIVIDADE DA GINÁSTICA ARTÍSTICA FEMININA PAULISTA NO CONTEXTO BRASILEIRO (2011-2019)
Authors: Bartholomeu de Queiroz Lima Letícia , Coelho Bortoleto Marco Antonio , Nunomura Myrian , Marconi Schiavon Laurita
Published: August 2023

O estado de São Paulo, especificamente em relação à Ginástica Artística, possui a federação de Ginástica com o maior número de instituições filiadas do Brasil, além de ser o Estado que por muitos anos mais investiu no esporte. No entanto, raramente faz parte do quadro de ginastas participantes dos Jogos Olímpicos na Ginástica Artística Feminina, com uma mobilidade frequente de ginastas do Estado, majoritariamente nas categorias juvenil e adulto, para os estados do Rio de Janeiro e Paraná. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa de caráter descritiva documental, buscou por meio dos resultados de Campeonatos Brasileiros no período de 2011 a 2019, analisar a representatividade da Ginástica Artística Feminina paulista para o contexto brasileiro. A partir dessa análise, observou-se que o estado de São Paulo é um destacado formador de ginastas, com superior número de instituições e de ginastas participantes em eventos nacionais comparados aos demais estados, e com resultados expressivos nas categorias de base e pelas ginastas que representam o Brasil, pois ainda que as ginastas paulistas não representem mais o Estado, elas compõem a seleção brasileira da modalidade. No entanto, a situação do estado de São Paulo como um todo não é a mesma, sendo prioritariamente a Região Metropolitana de São Paulo responsável por essas características. Por fim, apesar de a Ginástica Artística brasileira, nos últimos anos, estar em ascensão internacional, a situação real no Brasil não é favorável para o melhor desenvolvimento da modalidade.

Authors: Prompahakul Chuleeporn , Keim-Malpass Jessica , LeBaron Virginia , G. Epstein Elizabeth
Published: August 2023

Objective: This study aimed to describe the translation process and to test the psychometric properties of the Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) among Thai nurses.Material and Methods: The MMD-HP was administered via an electronic survey to registered nurses at 2 large tertiary care hospitals in a southern province in Thailand. The MMD-HP was translated into the Thai language using the modified Brislin’s cross-cultural instrument translation method. Reliability was analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis with promax rotation.Results: In total, 448 surveys were included in the final analysis. A three-factor structure was understandable and appropriate. The 3 factors were labeled as system-level, team-level, and patient/family-level root causes of moral distress. The overall internal consistency of the MMD-HP was 0.94; with 0.89, 0.89, and 0.85 for the system-level, team-level, and patient/family-level root causes, respectively.Conclusion: Our analysis found that the 3-factor solutions of the Thai version of the MMD-HP was most appropriate in our context. Our study found it to be a reliable, valid, and useful tool to measure moral distress among nurses in the Thai context. It is an appropriate tool to be used cross-culturally.
Motivação e desmotivação dos alunos no Ensino Médio nas aulas de Educação Física: algo mudou na produção científica?
Authors: Cunha Rebeca Fernandes , Da Costa Brenda Rodrigues , Neves Ricardo Lira de Rezende
Published: August 2023

Esta revisão bibliográfica objetivou analisar e identificar os aspectos relacionados a desmotivação dos alunos do ensino médio nas aulas de educação física. A coleta de dados foi realizada em seis periódicos da Educação Física e nas bases de dados do Google Acadêmico, Scielo e Bireme, com o recorte temporal de 2000 a 2020. A literatura indica que os principais fatores que podem causar a desmotivação dos alunos do ensino médio nas aulas de educação física estão relacionados com a utilização de conteúdos, abordagens e metodologias pedagógicas que não se diferem nas etapas formativas da educação básica. Geralmente trabalha-se as mesmas atividades, exigências e vivências do ensino fundamental ao médio, com ênfase nos jogos coletivos de competição e a não consideração das questões de gênero. Desenvolver um trabalho coletivo do professor com os pais, atores da escola e toda a comunidade pode auxiliar na minimização do problema.

Carol Ann Duffy's ‘Standing Female Nude’
Authors: Sliti Adel
Published: August 2023

The present article addresses the evocative potential of posing nude in Carol Ann Duffy's poem ‘Standing Female Nude’. My assumption is that the posing model/prostitute displays two bodies: the physical body and the signifying body. The interplay between both bodies triggers a process of signification whereby art is not simply a studio production but a meta-frame encapsulating a reflection on society, culture, self-representation and politics of identity. The poem substantiates the poet's experimental method of writing which draws on nude art genre, the dramatic monologue, theatre and metafiction. What the posing female nude recounts is not just experience of posing nude in a studio, but reflections on her body as a posing model and as a writing model or a narrative imbricating in its texture cynical comments and attitudes on artistic and socio-cultural values as the female model pokes fun at the reception of artistic work in the bourgeois society.
On the Verge of the Here and Now
Authors: Borkiewicz Klaudia
Published: August 2023

William Campbell, the major character of Hemingway's ‘A Pursuit Race’, fails to hold the lead, gets off his symbolic bike and barricades himself under a sheet in a hotel room, from beneath which he oozes his paranoid discourse of madness. This unexpected stoppage of an advance man for a burlesque show entails a profound distortion of the harmonious pattern of motion and immobility. Immersed in the paranoid, manoeuvring between the reasonable and the schizophrenic, Campbell resembles the Nietzschean rope-dancer, who improvises the present in his dramatic performance that starts anew with every fall. The major aim of this article is to analyse the paranoid condition of Hemingway's subject-in-madness through the prism of Deleuze and Guattari's concept of a desiring-machine as well as the Foucauldian perspective on insanity. The analysis will be carried out with reference to Hemingway's notion of ‘balance under pressure’, and the improvisational aspect of paranoid and non-reasonable.
RUGA SETTLEMENT INITIATIVE: A PANACEA FOR CONFLICT BETWEEN HERDSMEN AND FARMERS IN NIGERIA.
Authors: Abdullahi Abdulkadir
Published: August 2023

AbstractRecent killings and destruction of lives and property by a particular tribe known as the Fulani have been in the spotlight for some time. Their actions against the farmers have rendered so many homeless and incapacitated. This situation is appalling, as every passing day brings in fresh news about the destruction carried out by the group. This necessitated the ruga program, aimed to address issues related to livestock management promote agriculture and reduced conflict between farmers and headers. The federal government of Nigeria believed, it will drastically reduce conflict between the farmers and the herdsmen and in extension become economically beneficial. This study adopted the critical analysis method and the findings revealed that the ruga program though with its benefits will not survive due to widespread criticism and disagreement. The perceived benefit varied depending on different perspectives but overall, the intent was to modernized livestock farming practices and enhanced food security.
Reflections on Sudan’s Constitutional Trajectory, 1953–2023: 70 Years Lacking Legitimacy, Democratic Governance and Ownership
Authors: Babiker Mohammed Abdelsalam , el-Battahani Atta H.
Published: August 2023

Constitution-building processes in Sudan have been continually manipulated by military and civilian governments and supported by narrow elites. A brief historical survey reveals this unfortunate reality—which has continued even after the peaceful 2018 revolution. The purpose of this Report is to improve the knowledge base for those seeking to understand Sudan’s constitutional trajectory—present and future—by reflecting on its past, including Sudan’s previous experiences with transitional constitutions. It examines the history of constitution-making in Sudan, charting developments from the time of the colonial condominium (the Self-Government Statute of 1953) to the various short-lived constitutions (those of 1956, 1964, 1973, 1985, 1998, 2005 and 2019). This historical inquiry is followed by an examination of current constitutional developments, including the Constitutional Document of 2019, with a view to drawing lessons on how to move forward to overcome Sudan’s chronic constitutional stalemate. The Report concludes that all previous constitutional designs in Sudan are not suitable to provide answers to Sudan’s current constitutional crisis.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (IPD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease affecting basal ganglia, especially the substantia nigra pars compacta, and dopaminergic neurons in the brain stem. Although IPD is defined as a movement disorder with motor symptoms, it also affects many systems such as limbic, autonomic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems. The aim of our study is to evaluate the frequency of NMS in IPD, which is often overlooked in clinical practice and has serious effects on patients' quality of life.

Matherials and Methods: A total of 97 patients were included in the study, 31 of whom were in the mild stage, 30 in the moderate stage, and 36 in the severe stage. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), constipation, presence of hyposmia-anosmia, history of appendectomy and excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, orthostatic hypotension, apathy, forgetfulness, hallucinations, sleep problem, pain, fatigue, dizziness, and frequent urination findings have been noted from patients files.

Results: There was no significant difference (p >0,05) between the rates of appendectomy, prodromal stage symptoms, and NMS between genders (Table 2). Only forgetfulness, dreaming and fatigue were found to be statistically significantly (p

Cybercriminals exploit malicious URLs as a distribution channel to spread harmful software across the internet. They take advantage of vulnerabilities in browsers to install malicious software with the aim of gaining remote access to the victims' computers. Typically, this malicious software aims to gain access to networks, steal sensitive information, and silently monitor targeted computer systems. In this research, a data mining approach known as Classification Based on Association (CBA) is employed to detect malicious URLs using both the URL itself and the features of the presented web pages. The CBA algorithm utilizes a training dataset of URLs as historical data to discover association rules that can be used to create an accurate classifier. By detecting dangerous URLs and malicious software, this contribution can assist organizations and individual users in enhancing the security of their computer systems and networks, thereby protecting sensitive data and reducing the risk of security incidents. The experimental results demonstrate that CBA achieves performance on par with tested classification algorithms, achieving an accuracy of 99% and low rates of false positives and false negatives. Future research could expand its focus to detect malicious URLs and software on mobile devices and embedded systems, as they have become significant targets for cybercriminals.
Mendayung (Memanipulasi Wacana) di Antara Dua Karang: Discursive hedging Indonesia dalam Indo-Pasifik
Authors: Sesarianto Kevin Ali
Published: August 2023

In the Indo-Pacific constellation which targets political, security and economic issues, Indonesia is constructed as a middle power country. This construction originates from the political reality that Indonesia must hedge between the influence of the United States and China. In other words, the Indo-Pacific is a construction in which there are conflicting interests of the two great powers. Using the postcolonial critical discourse analysis method, this paper explores the construction that Indonesia is doing in ASEAN regarding the Indo-Pacific, namely the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific. This paper looks at two important things: (1) the discursive power relations embodied in Indo-Pacific discourse and (2) the activity of manipulating discourse so that Indonesia is merely in a "safe" position in the conflict of big powers, and even tends to take advantage of it. As a result of these findings, this paper reconstructs the identity and role of Indonesia's middle power: Indonesia is not a bearer of inclusivity or an honest broker, but merely a client of two major powers.

Dalam konstelasi Indo-Pasifik yang menyasar permasalahan politik, keamanan, dan ekonomi, Indonesia dikonstruksikan sebagai negara middle power. Konstruksi tersebut bersumber dari kenyataan politik bahwa Indonesia harus melakukan hedging di antara pengaruh Amerika Serikat dan Cina. Dengan kata lain, Indo-Pasifik adalah sebuah konstruksi yang terdapat pertentangan kepentingan dua great oiwer di dalamnya. Menggunakan metode analisis wacana kritis poskolonial, tulisan ini mendalami konstruksi yang Indonesia lakukan dalam ASEAN terkait Indo-Pasifik, yakni ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific. Tulisan ini melihat dua hal penting: (1) relasi kuasa diskursif yang terkandung dalam pewacanaan Indo-Pasifik dan (2) aktivitas manipulasi wacana agar Indonesia sekedar berposisi ?aman? dalam konflik kekuatan besar, bahkan cenderung memanfaatkan. Akibat temuan tersebut, tulisan ini merombak identitas dan peran middle power Indonesia: Indonesia bukan pembawa inklusivitas atau honest broker, tetapi sekedar klien dari dua kekuatan besar.

Published: August 2023

Background: Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are widely consumed vegetables globally,  and are well known for their nutrients and economic value.  This research aimed to create a tomato powder with improved nutraceutical benefits based on its ingredients. Methods: Fresh tomatoes, ginger, and dried hibiscus calyx were obtained and dehydrated at 45°C for 10 hours, 8 hours, and 1 hour and 30 minutes respectively. Proximate, elemental, phytochemical, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GCMS) analysis of the tomato powder mix were determined using standard methods.Results:  The proximate analysis revealed constituents of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, ash, fiber, and moisture as 65, 5, 10, 1, 7, and 12 % respectively. The GCMS also revealed 36 classes of compounds with different retention times. The most prominent peak is oleic acid with an RT value of 20.9.  The fiber content of the tomato powder mix was higher than what is obtainable in fresh tomatoes. Bioactive compounds like stigmasterol (5.25%), oleic acids (49.11%), n-hexadecenoic acid (26.58%), campesterol (2.72%), and octadecanoic acid (6.8%) are notably present with lycopene (135.745 mg/100 grams). Conclusion:The tomato powder mix is nutrient-packed and non-toxic. The bioactive components are known as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular health enhancers, etc showing the possible use of the powder as a functional food.Keywords: Tomatoes powder, bioactive compounds, functional foods, dehydration
A simple direct empirical observation of systematic bias of the redshift as a distance indicator
Authors: Shamir Lior
Published: August 2023

Recent puzzling observations such as the \(H_o\) tension, large-scale anisotropies, and massive disk galaxies at high redshifts have been challenging the standard cosmological model. While one possible explanation is that the standard model is incomplete, other theories are based on the contention that the redshift model as a distance indicator might be biased. While these theories can explain the recent observations, they are challenged by the absence of a direct empirical reproducible observation that the redshift model can indeed be inconsistent. Here I describe a simple experiment that shows that the spectra of galaxies depend on their rotational velocity relative to the rotational velocity of the Milky Way. Moreover, it shows that the redshift of galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way is significantly different from the redshift of galaxies that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way (P\(<0.006\)). Three different datasets are used independently, each one was prepared in a different manner, and all of them show similar redshift bias. A fourth dataset of galaxies from the Southern Galactic pole was also analyzed, and shows similar results. All four datasets are publicly available. While a maximum average \(\Delta z\) of \(\sim\)0.012 observed with galaxies of relatively low redshift (z\(<\)0.25) might not seem dramatic, the bias is consistent, and can explain puzzling observations such as the \(H_o\) tension.
Optimizing Wastewater Treatment Performance System and Achieving Greater Efficiency to Improve Water Quality for Sustainability — A Review
Authors: Nirmala G. N. , Prakash Surya
Published: August 2023

Water is one of the main sources that are utilised all over the world. The scarcity of water is due to the rapid development of urbanization, population growth, agricultural growth, industrialization, and other environmental issues arising from chemical and biological contaminants in water that turn it into pollution. It is important to manage the waste to avoid environmental and social problems. Wastewater treatment is a method to turn wastewater into valuables that can be used in domestic as well as urban agriculture. It is estimated that nearly 38,354 million litres of sewage are generated per day, but only a few are treated. In wastewater treatment, several issues arise in the primary stage due to the clogging of solid particles that accumulate in the wastewater, and then the primary pretreatment is performed to reduce these solid particles. Mainly in industries, wastewater management is essential because the toxic effluent from industrial waste can affect the environment, be harmful to aquatic organisms, and lead to contaminants and pollution. There are various methods that can be used to treat wastewater, such as using algae technology to treat wastewater generated from industries through the growth of algae, which can then be utilised in biofertilizers, biofuel production, etc. Many applications are performed in water management, such as in agriculture, the chemical industry, the tannery industry, immobilization, nanofiltration, carbon capturing technology, microbial bioremediation, and other fields. We can see the advantages and disadvantages of these applications in this article.
EFFECT OF SALT STRESS ON THE IMBIBITION CURVE OF COWPEA SEEDS
Authors: Correia de Souza Raéder , Romanoski Vanessa , De Moura Souza Filho Paulo Roberto , Badaró Pimentel Adérico Júnior
Published: August 2023

The salinity of soil and water of irrigation can cause negative effects to agriculture by affecting the development and productivity of the cultivated species. These effects can be mitigated with the cultivation of salinity-tolerant varieties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity on the water imbibition curve during the germination process in cowpea seed and the response of different cultivars. An experiment was conducted in a factorial scheme, composed of three cultivars (BRS Marataoã, BRS Pajeu and BRS Tumucumaque) and four levels of salt stress, obtained by NaCl solutions at concentrations of 50, 100 and 150 mM and control, distilled water. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design, with four repetitions. The variables analyzed were the pattern of imbibition curve and final seed water content. It was found that the evaluated cultivars do not present the three-phase pattern for the seed soaking curve, in the absence or presence of salinity. There is variability for the pattern of the seed soaking curve among BRS Marataoã, BRS Pajeu and BRS Tumucumaque cowpea cultivars. Salinity acts by reducing the water content of cowpea seeds during the germination process and causes alteration in the pattern of the water soaking curve by the seeds. The cultivar BRS Tumucumaque shows higher tolerance to the reduction of seed water content under salt stress conditions when compared to the cultivars BRS Pajeu and BRS Marataoã.

Published: August 2023

La contaminación acústica y el ruido presentan una relación directa con la salud. A pesar de que en España existen leyes que legislan el ruido destinadas a reducir los riesgos a su exposición entre los trabajadores, en general no existe conciencia real de los efectos perjudiciales que supone. Es por ello que se plantea el objetivo del presente trabajo: analizar la la percepción del personal sanitario y pacientes sobre el ruido hospitalario. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 48 individuos, entre pacientes ingresados y personal sanitario en activo. Para la evaluación de los participantes se utilizó una encuesta elaborada ad hoc. La participación fue voluntaria y el análisis estadístico se llevó a cabo mediante el programa SPSS. Los resultados señalan que las mañanas son consideradas el momento del día con mayor tasa de ruido. Entre las causas percibidas, la visita de los familiares es identificada por los sanitarios como la de mayor peso. Por otro lado, en cuanto a los efectos del ruido, los profesionales señala en su mayoría que el ruido repercute negativamente sobre la salud, sin embargo, solo el 25% de los pacientes está de acuerdo con esta afirmación. En relación a las posibles medidas para reducir el ruido y mejorar el descanso de los pacientes, tanto los profesionales como los propios pacientes, señalan que forma mayoritaria el uso de habitaciones individuales. Como conclusión, destacan los múltiples factores que se vinculan a un ruido excesivo en el medio hospitalario y la repercusión negativa de este tipo de contaminación tanto para pacientes como trabajadores.

Integração de Dados Atuais dos Linfossarcomas na Classificação da OMS, Seu Valor Para Previsão do Prognóstico e Adaptação da Terapêutica do Prognóstico
Authors: Mathé G.
Published: August 2023

A identificação dos linfossarcomas com os marcadores imunológicos enriqueceu o valor prognóstico da Classificação OMS. O prolinfocítico (centrofolicular) tipo B e o subtipo linfoblástico nulo* têm um bom prognóstico enquanto que o tipo Imunoblástico (T ou B) e o subtipo linfoblástico T têm um prognóstico pobre. Muitas classificações de Hematossarcomas ou Linfossarcomas malignos Não Hodgkin foram propostas (3, 9, 16, 17, 22, 23, 29). Algumas ainda são usadas, principalmente aquela de Rappaport (29), que foi concebida antes do estabelecimento do conceito da transformação de linfócitos pelo antígeno(s) em células grandes pironinofílicas, as quais eram confundidas com "histiócitos" antes desse conceito e foram chamadas Imunoblastos por Dameschek (7). A recente utilização de marcadores imunológicos e/ou citoquímicos capazes de reconhecer os linfócitos T e B e os assim chamados nulos (Tabela I) (6, 13, 31, 36, 38) não somente retiraram dos assim chamados tumores "histiocíticos" o Linfossarcoma Imunoblástico (20), mas também a Micose Fungóide identificada como um Linfossarcoma T.

Uma preparação de proteínas de membrana plasmática de células tumorais obtida por processo original de vesiculação de membrana celular é usada como antígeno especifico do tumor. Em sistema singênico protegeu 80% dos camundongos contra inóculo tumoral. Inóculo tumoral já estabelecido, em início de crescimento, é curado em 70 a 80% com inoculação de antigeno de membrana com adjuvante, em tumores experimentais de camundongo: A imunoterapia adotiva específica, isto é, a transferência de linfócitos pré-sensibilizados, não protegeu camundongos contra tumor já desenvolvido. A imunoquimioterapia adotiva, transferência de linfócitos de baço de animal Imunizados pelo tumor + 1 dose de ciclofosfamida foi eficiente, curando 80% dos animais com tumor singênico já estabelecido, sendo que a cidofosfamida apenas retarda temporariamente o crescimento tumoral. Este projeto não tem aplicação clínica, pois para o doente não se dispõe de linfócitos isogênicos sensibilizados especificamente contra seu câncer. Está sendo tentada a substituição de linfócitos T sensibilizados por "lnterleukin-2" + cidofosfamida. A "lnterleukin-2" é obtida in vitro por ação de macrófago + Hnfódto T helper + concanavalina A. Experiências preliminares em tumores experimentais deram nítido retardamento do crescimento dos mesmos. Este produto está sendo purificado e concentrado e produzido especificamente com antígeno do próprio tumor.
