This is an open access book.Adaptive, Resilient & Collaborative EngineeringTowards Faster Recovery & Impactful Solutions The world in the last decade has been facing global issues such as accelerated global warming, depleting natural resources, food waste and scarcity, water contamination and shortage, energy conservation, etc. Enter the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and we face what people term as double disruption. Not only solutions to the above problems are becoming more critical, but they are also needed fast. Timely and effective solutions are called for so that we can recover from the pandemic while at the same time carry our efforts to better our world. It is no longer sufficient to find solutions that can only delay the negative impacts from the above problems, but it is imperative to tip the balance and reverse the impacts to our advantage. Engineers and engineering have a vital role in inventing mechanisms, systems, and/or products that can address the solutions. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence have been at the forefront of such exploration and we can expect some hints for a better future, if we continue being adaptive, resilient, and collaborative. Given the above background, Faculty of Engineering - Universitas Surabaya, will host the fourth bi-annual international conference “The 4th International Conference on Informatics, Technology and Engineering 2023 (InCITE 2023)” in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, September 14th–15th, 2023. This event is a continuation of the past events successfully held in 2017, 2019, and 2021. We invite academia and business practitioners all around the globe to share ideas and best practices relevant to the above conference topic. We hope that this event can also serve as a platform of gathering for anyone interested in exploring potential solutions of our common problems today. Accepted and presented paper will be submitted for publication in reputable International Proceeding (Atlantis Press). See you in Yogyakarta!
Brazil has a very peculiar tax collection power distribution and revenue sharing system, that splits three way the consumption tax, giving taxation powers over goods circulation to the States, over services to the Municipalities and over production to the Union. The Brazilian State circulation of goods tax, whose regulations require unanimity to incentives and benefits concessions, even though the 27 Brazilian States development state are disparate, generates a "fiscal war" / State competition that costs 30 billion Brazilian Reais (6 billion Swiss Francs) yearly and the attempts at settling State Competition are clearly failing, while Switzerland, which has a similar political organization, seems to have a reasonable and functional system. This dissertation, requirement for the obtaining the title of Doctor in International Tax law, takes a case study approach to compare these two systems, specifically taxable events, financial transfer mechanisms and their rules to avoid State / Canton tax competition to assess if the Swiss system for tax collection power distribution and revenue sharing is a feasible solution to reduce the adverse effects of State tax competition in Brazil.
This book, Globalization and Sustainability - Ecological, Social and Cultural Perspectives, gives an interesting overview of the frontiers of scientific research in this practically important and scientifically interesting applied ecological research area. It offers chapters about ecological, economic, cultural, and sociological aspects of this area from theoretical and practical viewpoints. I am sure that this book will be very useful for everybody—researchers, teachers, students, or others interested in the field—who would like to get some insight into this part of the complex phenomena of global sustainability.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mathematical Software, ICMS 2020, held in Braunschweig, Germany, in July 2020. The 48 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The program of the 2020 meeting consisted of 20 topical sessions, each of which providing an overview of the challenges, achievements and progress in a environment of mathematical software research, development and use.
The receptors of the TNFRSF (TNFRs) are of overwhelming importance in the regulation of the immune system but are also involved in the induction of apoptotic cell death or cell survival and proliferation, making them excellent therapeutic targets for cancer but also other diseases. TNFRSF members provide crucial co-stimulatory signals to many if not all immune effector cells. Each co-stimulatory TNFR has a distinct expression profile and a unique functional impact on various types of cells and at different stages of the immune response. For example, the two receptors of TNF, TNF receptor-1 (TNFR1) and TNF receptor-2 (TNFR2), regulate the interaction of the various types of immune cells and also the interplay of the latter with practically any type of non-hematopoietic cells; CD40 stimulates antigen-presenting cells; CD27, OX40, 41BB,GITR, HVEM and RANK costimulate T cells; BCMA, TACI, and BaffR regulate B-cell maturation; CD95 and the two death receptors of TRAIL contribute to tumor surveillance and Fn14, EDAR and XEDAR have been implicated in tissue regeneration and development. Correspondingly, exploiting TNFR-mediated signaling for the therapy of cancer but also of non-cancerous diseases is a major field of interest. A further application of TNFRSF signaling is the incorporation of the intracellular co-stimulatory domain of a TNFRSF receptor into so-called Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) constructs for CAR-T cell therapy, the most prominent example of which is the 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain included in the clinically approved product Kymriah. The goal of this research topic is to provide concise overview of the recent advances in our understanding of agonists targeting TNFRSF and their potential therapeutic use, in particular in cancers. The focus of the series of research and review articles includes but is not limited to the biology of TNFRSF receptors in distinct immune cell populations, structure-function relationship of TNFRSF agonists, current preclinical and clinical knowledge of co-stimulatory TNFR agonists, opportunities for next generation TNFRSF therapeutics alone or in combination with immune checkpoint molecules. We encourage the submission of original research articles supported by pre-clinical data. Review articles will also be considered. Data should consist of anti-tumor activity analyses encompassing various murine or humanized mouse models, assessment of TNFRSF targeting in translational ex vivo primary human tumor tissue settings, or innovative single cell or spatial analysis of TNFRSF expression and association with tumor progression in patient material. Submissions should not be limited to the in vitro evaluation of TNFRSF signaling. We expect submissions based on (but not limited to): • TNFRSF signaling in shaping the immune contexture for anti-tumor immunity. • Engaging cytotoxic TNFRSF signaling to treat cancer. • Engaging TNFRSF signaling in non-cancerous diseases. • Immunobiology of TNFRSF receptors in specific immune cell populations, eg regulatory T cells (TNFR2, 41BB, TNFRSF25, ..), dendritic cells (CD40, RANK …), NK cells … • Critical aspects of TNFRSF structure-function and receptor clustering . • Balancing agonistic strength with FcγR affinity in the context of opportunities for next generation anti-TNFR antibodies with improved pharmacologic properties. • TNFSF-based agonists with conditional or constitutive agonism. • Potential of simultaneous blockade of immune checkpoint molecules and co-stimulation of the TNFRSF in improving anti-tumor immunity. • Bispecific TNFR agonists. • anti-TNF-α agents in cancer immunotherapy. • Prominence and key features of TNFRSF members (4-1BB, OX40, CD27, CD40, HVEM, and GITR) as co-stimulatory domains in CAR-T cell therapy . • Current preclinical and clinical knowledge of co-stimulatory TNFR antibodies.
