New South Wales State Government Failure? An Empirical Analysis of the Cootamundra Gundagai Regional Council Forced Merger
Authors: Dollery Brian , Drew Joseph 
Published: June 2023

Summary at a Glance Under the NSW Government's forced amalgamation program, the Cootamundra and Gundagai councils were merged in 2016. This paper examines the outcomes of the amalgamation by comparing the estimated outcomes prepared by NSW Government agencies and KPMG with the actual outcomes after four years post-merger. It demonstrates that the merger has failed on almost all counts. As part of the controversial local government structural reform program in NSW, the Cootamundra and Gundagai shire councils were forcibly amalgamated into the Cootamundra Gundagai Regional Council (CGRC) in 2016. Various documents and commissioned reports prepared by NSW government agencies, commercial consultants KPMG and the NSW Boundaries Commission Delegate all claimed that significant cost savings and other financial benefits would flow from the consolidated CGRC. Using data from the four post-merger financial years, in this paper we examine these claims against observed financial and operational efficiency outcomes at the CGRC. Three different analyses are conducted: aggregate accounting measures are examined, financial ratio analysis is used for performance comparison, and operational efficiency is estimated through Data Envelopment Analysis. All three analyses decisively demonstrate that the CGRC has not only failed to reap the claimed cost savings and other financial benefits, but its fiscal performance has deteriorated sharply. In sum, the CGRC represents a clear case of NSW state government policy failure.

Abstract
Several technosignature techniques focus on historic events such as SN 1987A as the basis to search for coordinated signal broadcasts from extraterrestrial agents. The recently discovered SN 2023ixf in the spiral galaxy M101 is the nearest Type II supernova in over a decade, and will serve as an important benchmark event. Here we review the potential for SN 2023ixf to advance ongoing techonsignature searches, particularly signal-synchronization techniques such as the “SETI Ellipsoid” that identifies over time stars that could transmit signals after observing a supernovae event. We find that more than 100 stars within 100 pc are already close to intersecting this SETI Ellipsoid, providing numerous targets for real-time monitoring within ∼3° of SN 2023ixf. We are commencing a radio technosignature monitoring campaign of these targets with the Allen Telescope Array and the Green Bank Telescope.
Le souffrant est-il un vivant ? Un apport de la phénoménologie de la vie
Authors: d’Aranda Catherine 
Published: June 2023

Suis-je moins vivant quand je suis malade que quand je suis en bonne santé ? Quand je ris, que quand je pleure ? Phénoménologiquement, non. Mais je vais manifester différemment cette vie dans le monde. Notre existence sera différente, mais c’est la même vie, avec la même intensité. Le souffrant est pleinement vivant, au même titre que le jouissant. Cette philosophie introduit du doute, de la pensée, du questionnement. Ce n’est pas confortable mais c’est la grandeur de toute relation entre vivants.
Quand le travail de prédation tue le travail de production
Authors: Petit Christophe 
Published: June 2023

Ce texte est évidemment un texte polémique. Cette thèse s’inspire de la pensée de Veblen et de ses continuateurs contemporains que sont Nitzan, Graeber et Hudson. Pour Veblen, l’analyse d’une économie comprend trois dimensions : les pulsions, les techniques et les institutions avec au centre des institutions la monnaie qui est la condition de possibilité des autres institutions. La lutte des classes est alors la lutte des classes pour l’appropriation des moyens de production de monnaie qui surdétermine la lutte des classes pour l’appropriation des moyens de production de biens et de services. Cet article avance l’idée que l’institution monétaire est devenue inadaptée au paradigme technique numérique et que la classe productive ne peut donc plus s’opposer à la noblesse financière et au clergé managérial sans une création monétaire démocratique, c’est-à-dire un revenu inconditionnel financé par la création monétaire.
On ne sent pas ce que peut le corps. Y a-t-il un sentiment d’unité entre corps et esprit chez Spinoza ?
Authors: GARCIA Julien 
Published: June 2023

Spinoza mobilise toutes les armes que peut lui offrir son Éthique ‒ du « cri de guerre » jusqu’aux démonstrations les plus minutieuses ‒ pour s’attaquer au dualisme qui nous maintient dans l’illusion que nous serions davantage notre esprit que notre corps. Mais il se pourrait bien que l’une comme l’autre de ces armes manifestent un défaut qui les rend impuissantes. L’unité du corps et de l’esprit ne peut pas être comprise tant qu’elle n’est pas sentie. Nous nous proposons de montrer ici que Spinoza souligne précisément le défaut de ce sentiment et s’efforce de mettre à notre disposition les moyens qui nous permettront de sentir que nous sommes notre corps autant que notre esprit.

Abstract
Recipient T cells can aggravate or regulate lethal and devastating graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In this context, we have shown before that intestinal immune conditioning with helminths is associated with survival of recipient T cells and Th2 pathway–dependent regulation of GVHD. We investigated the mechanism of survival of recipient T cells and their contribution to GVHD pathogenesis in this helminth infection and BMT model after myeloablative preparation with total body irradiation in mice. Our results indicate that the helminth-induced Th2 pathway directly promotes the survival of recipient T cells after total body irradiation. Th2 cells also directly stimulate recipient T cells to produce TGF-β, which is required to regulate donor T cell–mediated immune attack of GVHD and can thereby contribute to recipient T cell survival after BMT. Moreover, we show that recipient T cells, conditioned to produce Th2 cytokines and TGF-β after helminth infection, are fundamentally necessary for GVHD regulation. Taken together, reprogrammed or immune-conditioned recipient T cells after helminth infection are crucial elements of Th2- and TGF-β–dependent regulation of GVHD after BMT, and their survival is dependent on cell-intrinsic Th2 signaling.

Abstract
Cachexia is a major cause of death in cancer and leads to wasting of cardiac and skeletal muscle, as well as adipose tissue. Various cellular and soluble mediators have been postulated in driving cachexia; however, the specific mechanisms behind this muscle wasting remain poorly understood. In this study, we found polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) to be critical for the development of cancer-associated cachexia. Significant expansion of PMN-MDSCs was observed in the cardiac and skeletal muscles of cachectic murine models. Importantly, the depletion of this cell subset, using depleting anti-Ly6G Abs, attenuated this cachectic phenotype. To elucidate the mechanistic involvement of PMN-MDSCs in cachexia, we examined major mediators, that is, IL-6, TNF-α, and arginase 1. By employing a PMN-MDSC–specific Cre-recombinase mouse model, we showed that PMN-MDSCs were not maintained by IL-6 signaling. In addition, PMN-MDSC–mediated cardiac and skeletal muscle loss was not abrogated by deficiency in TNF-α or arginase 1. Alternatively, we found PMN-MDSCs to be critical producers of activin A in cachexia, which was noticeably elevated in cachectic murine serum. Moreover, inhibition of the activin A signaling pathway completely protected against cardiac and skeletal muscle loss. Collectively, we demonstrate that PMN-MDSCs are active producers of activin A, which in turn induces cachectic muscle loss. Targeting this immune/hormonal axis will allow the development of novel therapeutic interventions for patients afflicted with this debilitating syndrome.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Immunotherapy development for solid tumors remains challenging, partially due to a lack of reproducible, cost-effective in vitro three-dimensional (3D) models to mimic the heterogeneous and complex tumor microenvironment. Here, we investigate the cellular anti-tumor reactivity of αβ T cells engineered to express a defined γδ TCR (TEG A3). For that purpose, we developed a 3D cytotoxicity assay targeting cell line–derived spheroids or patient-derived tumor organoids formed in serum-free media. Tumor cell lysis by TEG A3 was monitored using the Incucyte S3 live-cell imaging system with the apoptosis marker caspase 3/7 green and endpoint readouts of IFN-γ secretion in the supernatant. The 3D cytotoxicity assay model system was able to adequately demonstrate TEG A3 reactivity toward targets expressing an isoform of CD277 (CD277J). To obtain a more complex heterogeneous tumor microenvironment, patient-derived organoids were mixed with unmatched patient-derived fibroblasts or matched cancer-associated fibroblasts. In all assays, we demonstrated the tumor target specificity of TEG A3, lysing tumor cells within 48 h. Our study demonstrates the utility of complex 3D cytotoxicity assay model systems incorporating the tumor microenvironment in the functional evaluation of T cell–based adoptive immunotherapy, providing a useful platform for early-stage preclinical development of immunotherapies.
A note about charts built by Eriksson-Bique and Soultanis on metric measure spaces
Authors: Gennaioli Luca , Gigli Nicola 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis note is motivated by recent studies by Eriksson-Bique and Soultanis about the construction of charts in general metric measure spaces. We analyze their construction and provide an alternative and simpler proof of the fact that these charts exist on sets of finite Hausdorff dimension. The observation made here offers also some simplification about the study of the relation between the reference measure and the charts in the setting of
$\text {RCD}$
spaces.

Published: June 2023

Background: In the production of instant pepper powder, some manufacturers add adulterants to the pepper powder.
Objective: This study aimed to detect the presence of corn added in instant white pepper products in the market.
Method: The TLC Fingerprint analysis was used. Fingerprints were made using white pepper from three regions in Indonesia: Tasikmalaya, Kalimantan, and Bangka. The corn used as the adulterant came from three regions in Indonesia: West Java, Central Java, and Kalimantan. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method, where 96% ethanol was used as the solvent. TLC patterns were made and visualised under UV light at 254 nm and 366 nm. Chromatogram analysis was performed.
Result: Loading PC-2 against PC-1 in PCA with an eigen value of 931.54 indicated the loading score of white pepper was clustered in quadrants 2 and 3, while that of the corn adulterant in quadrants 1 and 4.
Discussion:The sample projection on the PCA system used showed that samples A and C are distributed between quadrants 1-2 and 3-4, while sample B is distributed in quadrant 2.
Conclusion: Based on the loading results of PC-2 against PC-1, samples A and C contained corn adulterants, while sample B contained other adulterants.
ENERGY SAVING AND DISTANCE TRAVELED OF THE RAILWAY TRAIN FROM ITS BIRTH TO THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MODELING
Authors: A. ARVANITIDIS DIMITRIOS , M. MASTRAKOULIS DIMITRIOS , DERVISIS IOANNIS 
Published: June 2023

The simulation of railway systems plays a key role in the design of the supply of the railway network but also in the functionality of the train itself. Various studies have been carried out to understand the railway network and by extension the operation of the trains. [1,2] The history of the railway is an everlasting history of speed. The rail mode is a guided and low grip transit mechanism. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution at the start of the 19th century, when rail first emerged in Europe, passenger train speed has been crucial for competition—not necessarily with other kinds of transportation, but with other rail firms. Additionally, it gave verifiable proof of technological advancement in the time's most developed nations. In this work, an approach is studied for the modeling and simulation using Anylogic PLE regarding saving the energy and the distance traveled for five distinct time periods.
Rammed Earth Construction Using Cement & Coir Fibers
Authors: Sharma Saurav , Kumar Sharma Surendra , Jaysawal Devesh 
Published: June 2023

The paper aims to investigate the geotechnical and mechanical properties of rammed earth blocks by analyzing their compressive and tensile strength, density, and durability, while taking into account the effects of coir elongation and cement content. The specific aspects that were analyzed in the study are as follows:a) Effect of coir % & elongation on OMC and MDD, b) Effect on Consistency of sample, c) Combined effect of cement and coir on compressive strength, d) Combined effect of cement and coir on tensile strength. The objective of this investigation is to determine the optimum value of stabilizer for rammed earth blocks that will improve their geotechnical and mechanical properties while also fulfilling the principles of sustainability. The experiment used 8% cement as a stabilizer and 8% coir as reinforcement in lengths ranging from 20 mm to 40 mm. Based on the results of the experiment, it was found that the characteristic dry compressive strength of the rammed earth blocks improves up to 1% coir of 20 mm length, and then gradually decreases as the length and percentage of coir increase. In addition, the strength ratio drops by about 3.05%–6.27% as the coir length increases from 20 mm to 40 mm.These results suggest that the optimum value of coir reinforcement for improving the mechanical properties of rammed earth blocks is 1% with a length of 20 mm. However, it is important to note that the sustainability of the technique should also be considered when determining the optimum value of stabilizer and reinforcement. Overall, the investigation demonstrates that the use of coir reinforcement along with cement stabilization can be an effective approach for improving the geotechnical and mechanical properties of rammed earth blocks. However, further research is needed to optimize the coir percentage and length to achieve the desired strength properties while ensuring sustainability.

Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging field of recent technologies. Every field of engineering, technology, and real-time management has IoT applications such as transportation, agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, wearable, smart grid and energy saving, smart home, smart management systems, etc. Also, AI has captured wide-area applications in the automobile industry, surveillance, security, education, entertainment, gaming, e-commerce, portable devices, robotics, biomedical instruments, etc. Electrical and electronic devices are used in IoT-based applications. They are required efficient energy to operate for a long time effectively. These types of devices required offline and online energy storage devices that charge on time or require less recharge. The supercapacitor has a high capacitor, rapid charging/discharging cyclic rate, cost-effective and eco-friendly. Our objectives are to study supercapacitors for providing energy and power supply backup to IoT devices. Electronic devices mainly operate on dc signals and electrical instruments work on signals. The supercapacitor plays an important role to supply energy which stores an extremely large amount of electrical charge. It is the future of batteries and replaces the old bulk batteries with tiny high-performance flexible sustainable supercapacitors.
