SummaryPolymorphonuclear (PMN) leucocytes participate in acute inflammatory pathologies such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following traumatic injury and shock, which also activates the coagulation system systemically. Trauma can prime the PMN nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex for an enhanced respiratory burst, but the relative role of various priming agents in this process remains incompletely understood. We therefore set out to identify mediators of PMN priming during coagulation and trauma-shock and determine whether PMN reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in this manner could influence organ injury and coagulation. Initial experiments demonstrated that PMN are primed for predominantly extracellular ROS production by products of coagulation, which was abrogated by CD88/C5a receptor(C5aR) inhibition. The importance of this was highlighted further by demonstrating that known PMN priming agents result in fractionally different amounts of extracellular versus intracellular ROS release depending on the agent used. Plasma from trauma patients in haemodynamic shock (n = 10) also primed PMN for extracellular ROS in a C5a-dependent manner, which correlated with both complement alternative pathway activation and thrombin generation. Furthermore, PMN primed by preincubation with products of blood coagulation directly caused loss of endothelial barrier function in vitro that was abrogated by C5aR blockade or NADPH oxidase inhibition. Finally, we show in a murine model of trauma-shock that p47phox knock-out (KO) mice with PMN incapable of generating ROS were protected from inflammatory end-organ injury and activated protein C-mediated coagulopathy. In summary, we demonstrate that trauma-shock and coagulation primes PMN for predominantly extracellular ROS production in a C5a-dependent manner that contributes to endothelial barrier loss and organ injury, and potentially enhances traumatic coagulopathy.

AbstractIntroductionOur previous study has confirmed that a novel curcumin derivate nicotinate‐curcumin (NC) can facilitate autophagic flux in THP‐1 cells induced by oxidized low‐density lipoprotein.AimsGiven that autophagy plays critical roles in neurodegenerative diseases, the present study was carried out to investigate whether NC can improve cognitive function of rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) via restoring autophagic flux in CA1 hippocampus.ResultsOur results showed that NC treatment improved cognitive deficit and attenuated neuronal loss as well as cellular ultrastructure impairment in the CA1 region of DM rats induced by streptozotocin. Moreover, NC lowered the expressions of the apoptosis‐related proteins Bcl‐2, Bax, Cyt‐c, and cleaved Caspase‐3. Notably, NC treatment reversed autophagic flux impairment as evidenced by the deceases in LC3‐II and p62 protein levels, and autophagosome accumulation in the hippocampal CA1 region of DM rats. However, these protective effects of NC were abolished by cotreatment with 3‐methyladenine (an autophagy inhibitor) and chloroquine (an autophagic flux inhibitor), respectively. Furthermore, NC treatment decreased the expressions of phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6k) proteins in the CA1 region of DM rats.ConclusionsThese results indicate that NC ameliorates DM‐induced cognitive function impairment via restoring autophagic flux might by inhibiting mTOR/p70S6k activation in the CA1 region, and NC may be a promising agent for diabetic cognitive dysfunction prevention and treatment.
Dealing with Time Inconsistency: Inflation Targeting versus Exchange Rate Targeting
Authors: DAVIS J. SCOTT , FUJIWARA IPPEI , WANG JIAO 
Published: September 2018

AbstractAdopting a single instead of multiple targets can be an effective way to overcome the classic time‐inconsistency problem. The choice of a single mandate depends on the trade openness and the credibility. Reduced‐form empirical results show as central banks become less credible, they are more likely to adopt a pegged exchange rate, and the tendency to peg depends on trade openness. In a model with “loose commitment,” as credibility falls, either an inflation target or a pegged exchange rate is more likely to be adopted. A relatively closed (highly open) economy would adopt an inflation target (exchange rate peg).
Neural network modeling of hydrological systems: A review of implementation techniques
Authors: Oyebode Oluwaseun , Stretch Derek 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper presents a review of procedural steps and implementation techniques used in the development of artificial intelligence models, generally referred to as artificial neural networks (ANNs), within the water resources domain. It focusses on identifying different areas wherein ANNs have found application thereby elucidating its advantages and disadvantages as well as various challenges encountered in its use. Results from this review provide useful insights into how the performance of ANNs can be improved and potential areas of application that are yet to be explored in hydrological modeling.Recommendations for Resource Managers

Development of integrated and hybrid artificial intelligent tools is critical to achieving improved forecasts in hydrological modeling studies.

Further research into comprehending the internal mechanisms of neural networks is required to obtain a practical meaning of each network component deployed to solve real‐world problems.

More robust optimization techniques and tools like differential evolution, particle swarm optimization and deep neural nets, are yet to be fully explored in the water resources analysis, and should be given more attention to enhance neural networks aptitude for modeling complex and nonlinear hydrological processes.
Trade Catalogue of Everything
Authors: Ibghy Richard , Lemmens Marilou 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The Trade Catalogue of Everything is a digital file that lists everything and anything—land, water, air, plants, animals, fragments of nature, but also the products of human culture, industry, invention and human know-how—that may be of interest to alien life. Housed in a gold USB flash memory device, the catalogue is intended for travel aboard a probe headed toward the stars beyond our solar system. Following in the footsteps of the Pioneer Plaque (1972–1973) and The Golden Record (1977), which introduced human civilization to extraterrestrials, the catalogue is an invitation for spacefaring civilizations to make contact with Earth and begin a trade relationship.
Fugitives: Anarchival Materiality in Archives
Authors: Hennessy Kate , Smith Trudi Lynn 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In analog and digital archives, issues of material loss are met with tools of resistance, ranging from simple freezers, to fire-resistant bunkers, to complex robotic systems. While entropy is usually resisted by archivists, this paper draws attention to what we call anarchival materiality, or the generative force of entropy in archives. We theorize anarchival materiality through our oral history research with archivists and curators and parallel video and photography work in the British Columbia Provincial Archives. We describe how non-human archives and their human stewards both constrain and enable preservation. Classification systems, spatial organization and human responsibilities are all fundamentally reshaped and determined by the uncooperative residents of archives, who constantly remind their caretakers of the transformative and organic passage of time.
Neither/Nor: Other Cinema as an Archives and an Anti-Archives
Authors: Kashmere Brett 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This essay explores Craig Baldwin’s Other Cinema, specifically the 16mm film collection assembled in the basement of San Francisco’s Artists’ Television Access, as both an archives and an anti-archives. How does Baldwin’s interdisciplinary practice, which integrates film collecting, curating, production, and publishing, challenge and expand our understanding of archival activity and consciousness? Examining Baldwin’s accessioning, organizational, and custodial processes and attitudes provides insights into Other Cinema’s dual nature: as a corpus of distinctive postwar documents that evidence histories of political, cultural, social, and scientific endeavor (archives); and a debris bin to be mined for re-workable scraps, forgotten, marginal, or suppressed memories, and unclassifiable anomalies (anti-archives). This opposition is eventually dissolved with the proposition of Other Cinema as a workshop, straddling both functions: conservation through creative destruction.
Considering Todd’s Tape: The Textual Transition of Videotape Miscellany
Authors: VanderBurgh Jennifer 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Homemade video-recordings of television broadcasts are both archival and anarchival in nature. This essay considers the particular contributions of “miscellaneous” videotape recordings as precarious documents of television heritage and expressions of place-based cultural memory. In transcribingtelevision broadcasts, miscellaneous video-recordings createdpalimpsests of ephemeral content. No longer in active use, miscellaneous tapes have undergone a transition from dynamic and re-recordable to static texts. In describing the content of one example from Nova Scotia, Canada, this essay considers what miscellaneous videotapes have become after their textual turn.
Ice as a Counter-Archive: Permafrost, Archival Melt and Climate Futures
Authors: Perić Sabrina 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In the history of Canadian Arctic colonization, ice and permafrost have been understood primarily as an engineering problem. During the Cold War however, understanding of permafrost and its possibilities changed. Microbiologists and geoscientists did not see permafrost as a hindrance, but rather for understanding the past. As permafrost freezes, organics, air and water become trapped, and as the permafrost grows thicker, so too the earliest trapped matter is buried deeper. Through chemical and genomic analysis, permafrosttoday can reveal details about the past. For scientists today, permafrost has collected, ordered and preserved a lost world of climate environments. This paper examines how political imperatives, petroleum industry and government scientists worked together in the 20th century Canadian North to construct permafrost as an archive of the past. It also posits that these icy (and now rapidly melting) archives should play a critical role in our global future.
TOWARDS A FILM MICOLOGY?: Biodeteriorated Archival Images of Havana as Incurable-Images of the Cinematic City
Authors: Rodríguez Juan Carlos 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The proliferation of documentaries about Havana’s ruins during the Special Period has coincided with the biodeterioration of moving images filmed in Havana during the revolutionary period and collected in Cuba’s National Film Archive. Havana’s cinematic ruinology is therefore the story of a twofold material helplessness: the helplessness of a crumbling city, whose ruins appear in front of the camera, and the helplessness of the moving images of Havana’s past, which may soon vanish from the archive. Rather than equating biodeterioration with the death of cinema, the author appeals to TarekElhaik's notion of incurable-image to elaborate a concept of film micology as a semiotic engagement with the filmic mutations associated with celluloid'sbiodeterioration.The article offers a semio-micological analysis of CascosBlancos (Fernando Pérez, 1975), a biodeteriorated Cuban housing documentary from the 1970's, to highlight how the challenges posed by biodeterioration destabilize our conceptions of audiovisual heritage, collective memory, and both archival and historical images.
HORIZONTAL MENTORSHIP: A Preservation Solution for Marginalized and Underrepresented Audio-Visual Works
Authors: Kidd Mary , Lascu Marie 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The “magnetic media crisis” is the idea that media created over the past century is at risk of degrading and becoming unplayable over the next 20 years. This poses an enormous challenge for content that falls outside of the collecting scope of well-resourced institutions. Audio-visual preservation on a shoestring budget is being addressed head-on by New York City’s XFR Collective (pronounced Transfer Collective). At the core of XFR’s mission is lowering the barriers to audio-visual preservation, especially material from marginalized and/or underrepresented communities. The collective’s success stems from fostering a “horizontal mentorship model,” which supports the idea that audio-visual preservation skills can be taught to anyone, given they are provided with accessible documentation, tools, and instruction. The hope is that individuals and groups may adapt XFR’s model to address their own community’s at-risk media.
Efficacy and Archival Practice in Nunatsiavut: A Case Study of the Rigolet Inuktut Living Archives
Authors: Turner Mark David 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This essay is a case study of the Rigolet Inuktut Living Archives, an on-going project that is attempting to create a space for the disappearing Inuktut dialect of Inuktitut specific to Rigolet, Nunatsiavut, Labrador. In spite of a strong local imperative to safeguard the dialect, the project has proven difficult to implement. These issues are by no means local. They are part of a complex archives ecology within Nunatsiavut, the devolved territory of the Labrador Inuit.
Making Pancakes: Intergenerational Cooking and Remediating the Archive
Authors: Bronfman Alejandra , Dawson Maia , Sepúlveda Gabriela Aceves 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In Making Pancakes, Alejandra Bronfman remediates the recipe Cakes para el Desayuno as a response to Aceves Sepúlveda’s great grandmother MamáPina’s cookbook. Along with her mother, Marisa Bronfman, her daughters Maia and Nina Dawson, and her partner Alec Dawson as the videographer, Bronfman sets up a cooking event in which three different generations interpret the recipe from their distinct subject positions. For this issue of Public, we propose to transcribe the intergenerational conversations that took place in Making Pancakes to unpack the ways knowledge is transferred from generation to generation and to reflect on the ways in which female domestic forms of writing and familial performative acts can be considered as central foci of the Archive. We will contextualize the transcription with still images from the video and a self-reflective response on cooking as remediation by Bronfman and Aceves.
ACTIVATING HISTORY: The Living Counter-Archive of Urban Vernacular Paths
Authors: Prus Benjamin P.F. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The project began with mapping a series of informal paths and shortcuts (17 in total) created by Hamiltonians. These paths have been carved into the ground by years of repeated trespassing to, from, and across railway tracks. The inscriptions of countless footfalls, the paths form an archive of local residents’ movements through their neighbourhood. The railway is representative of formal urban planning and Hamilton’s industrial past, while the informal paths trace anonymous, everyday ways that citizens break the “rules” of the formally planned city. To highlight the importance of these paths in the lives of the local community, I erected fake notices of the City of Hamilton’s intent to formally name these informal walkways. The formal names of city streets and paths are a way for a city to officially archive particular histories, while overlooking others. The forged notices stimulated discussion in the local community around key issues: which histories get kept and whose are discarded, who has the right to name what is created by local residents, and what is the “right” way to live and move within the city?
THE NiS+TS PSYCHOGEOGRAPHER’S TABLE: Countering the Official Halifax Explosion Archive
Authors: Luka Mary Elizabeth , Lilley Brian 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The material culture of archives is reconsidered in the Psychogeographer's Table (PGT), a counter-archive created by the Narratives in Space + Time Society (NiS+TS) in response to the impending centenary of the accidental catastrophe of the 1917 Halifax Explosion (HE). The PGT counter-archive addresses the relationship between viewer and archive material in a number of novel ways. The subject matter of the archive considers the public geographies shaping our cultural landscape in the Explosion’s debris field, including the militarization of the waterfront and the invisibility of certain racialized and classed communities. The PGT is a portable sculpture and a curated repository of archival materials generated by NiS+TS, exhibited at the Dalhousie University Art Gallery in the fall of 2017. Further, the PGT’s unique materiality is reflected through multiple layers of mapping created through collaborative walking, augmented reality experiences and storytelling. These engagements situate the viewer within the archive, past and present, contrasting the everyday with the catastrophic event.
EXCAVATION, COUNTER-ARCHIVE, & SPATIOTEMPORAL ENCOUNTER: Past is Not Post and Rewriting Histories
Authors: Gerdes Benj , Lau Lasse 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Visual documentation and discussion of two recent curatorial projects organized by the authors,Rewriting Histories(2015, Fotografisk Center and CPH:DOX, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Past is Not Post(2017, Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Oldenburg, Germany). Gerdes and Lau are primarily artists and filmmakers working at the intersection of visual art and political documentary, but upon invitation assembled two highly regarded international art exhibitions focusing on archive-based artistic practices in film, video, and related media. Via the spatial orientation and resulting relationships of the works in situ, they sought to highlight certain nodes of resonance and tension between a set of 21st century practices by practitioners of diverse backgrounds and geographic origins. In the context of these exhibitions as a form of public engagement, they also discuss the potential and limitations of archival interventions by politically-engaged artists vis-à-vis other modes of protest and resistance.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
I propose the anarchival as a performance theory of media relevant to the current moment. Defining an anarchival movement impulse characteristic of post-digital moving image media through the example of “bullet time” key examples from Gap commercials, toThe Matrix, and dance works on stage and screen (Edouard Lock’s Amélia(2002), and Dave St-Pierre What’s Next?

Disrupting the Register: TreatyCard.ca and Indigenous Counter-Archives
Authors: Mamers Danielle Taschereau 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This essay analyzes the Indian Register as a key source of documentation in the archive of settler colonial law and Cheryl L’Hirondelle’s (Cree/Métis) TreatyCard.ca as a counter-archival disruption to the state’s archive. The Canadian government’s system of “Indian” registration and the archive it has generated served to literalize the claims of the Indian Act. Parts one and two of this essay historically contextualize the Indian Register and attend to its application forms as a key site of colonial law’s archival operation. Part three analyzes TreatyCard.ca as an alternative register that makes visible the limited frames of visibility that the Indian Register imposes on Indigenous identity and prompts a counter-reading of the Register’s archival function. The counter-archival disruption of TreatyCard.ca creates a radically open register wherein participants author and authorize their own identities at a remove from the state’s sovereign archival desires.
Commemoration and Decolonization in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Database
Authors: Ferris Shawna , Ladner Kiera , Allard Danielle , Hughes Micheline 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Database (MMIWD) is,at present, an activist archive comprised of thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous news reports relating to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-spirit (MMIWG2) persons in Canada. Through an exploration of the development of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Database, including the development of our collections, our descriptive practices, and our participatory methods, this paper examines what it means for the MMIWD to engage in archival decolonization. It considers what kinds of (archival) interventions we can develop or employ to (re)frame MMIWG2-related mainstream news media reports. Perhaps most importantly it discusses the possibilities for this project to create something more than a counter-archive that reacts to colonial violence but does not itself provide or inspire decolonizing visions of a post-colonial political reality in which such violence is no longer a reality.
Effects of mycorrhizal inoculation and digestate fertilisation on triticale biomass production using fungicide-coated seeds
Authors: Caruso C. , Maucieri C. , Barco A. , Barbera A.C. , Borin M. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractCrop fertilisation management using organic wastes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation can play a crucial role in the sustainability of agroecosystems. However, in conventional agricultural systems, agrochemicals like fungicides could reduce the positive effect of AMF. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic (biomass production) and environmental (soil CO2 emission) effects of AMF inoculation and digestate spreading on triticale cultivation using commercial seeds coated with fungicide. The field experiment was conducted in 2014–2015 at the University of Padua’s experimental farm (Italy), adopting a split-plot design, where the main plot factor was AMF inoculation (inoculated vs. uninoculated) and the subplot factor was fertilisation treatment (no fertilisation (NF), digestate liquid fraction (DL), digestate solid fraction (DS), mineral fertilisation (MF)). Low AMF root colonization was observed, likely due to the effect of fungicide; the only significant effect of AMF inoculation was a lower shoot density. Dry biomass production was significantly higher in the MF treatment (21.8 ± 1.04 Mg/ha) and lower in the NF treatment (14.5 ± 0.73 Mg/ha) compared to DS and DL treatments, which were not significantly different with an average yield of 17.2 ± 2.10 Mg/ha. During the cropping season, soil CO2 emissions were not significantly affected by either AMF inoculation or fertilisation treatment. The median value of soil CO2 emissions was 447.3 mg/m2 per hour.
