Finding (a theory of) Leverage for Systemic Change: A systemic design research agenda
Authors: Murphy Ryan
Published: February 2023

To search for leverage is to use systemic design to find ways to accelerate progressive systemic change. The theory of leverage was first conceptualized by Donella Meadows with “Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System” in 1997. Yet while Meadows’s typology of leverage points is popular and influential, little has been done to critique or substantially advance her ideas since they were first published. As a result, we lack a modern theory of leverage. In this article, I relate systemic change to the search for leverage and outline why leverage matters. I present a brief overview of Meadows’s original work. Then, I synthesize the major contributions that have built on Meadows’s theory of leverage in the last 25 years. Next, I present a critique of Meadows’s original work, highlighting what we know about leverage and what we have yet to learn. This includes the development of a framework identifying how the degree of leverage relates to the acceleration of progressive (or retrograde) systemic change. Finally, I organize these ideas into a research agenda featuring four areas: dimensions of leverage, methods for leverage, strategy with leverage, and execution on leverage. Meadows wrote about the metaphor of “dancing with systems.” By advancing leverage theory, I believe we can better learn to “dance with systemic change.”

Authors: Drexler Jane ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

In this essay, Drexler reflects broadly on our practices as philosophy teachers: how we think of our classrooms and design students’ learning experiences, how we evaluate ourselves and our teaching, and generally, how we keep walking into the classroom each semester. Based on a talk she delivered in 2020, Drexler’s contribution to this issue presents a series of “chapters” of an “enchiridion” for teaching: a handbook of loosely-connected reflections, principles, and strategies for teaching Philosophy as a Way of Life, and for teaching (philosophy) as a way of life.
Frasa “Menjadi Hamba Kebenaran” Dalam Roma 6: 15-23 Dan Implikasinya Bagi Orang Percaya Masa Kini
Authors: Carlitos Geraldi , Hulu Elisua
Published: February 2023

Kontras antara hamba dosa dan hamba kebenaran dalam Roma 6:15-23 muncul berkali-kali. Ini merupakan sebuah penekanan. Tujuannya untuk menunjukkan bahwa setiap manusia hanya diperhadapkan pada dua pilihan yang eksklusif satu sama lain. Tidak memilih yang satu berarti memilih yang lain, begitu pula sebaliknya. Tidak ada netralitas. Keengganan untuk menjadi hamba kebenaran bukan menuju pada netralitas, melainkan pada perbudakan dosa. Hamba kebenaran atau hamba dosa. Kehidupan atau kematian. Pengudusan atau kecemaran. Manusia tidak memiliki jalan alternatif di dalam hidupnya.

Authors: Murugan Rajadurai
Published: February 2023

Food preservatives are chemical or natural substances that are added to the food products which will help to increase the shelf life and also inhibits the growth of microorganisms that causes food spoilage. The objective of review is to know and understand the adverse effects of chemical preservative in food products. Even though the chemical preservative used is approved by the FDA, whereas the long-term usage of some preservatives can causedifferent health problems in humans including cancer. This review is also intended to understand how the preservative induce different health problem in the body if consumed for long term. It is not possible to review all the preservatives hence, mainly focused on sodium sulphite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, Tertiary butylhydroquinoe (tBHQ) and Butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA) which are commonly used food preservatives in beverages, dried foodproducts, meat and other processed food. The long-term consumption of the food which is treated with the above-mentioned food preservatives showed signs of carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and other allergies. In future the usage of natural food preservative which is derived from plants and other natural sources can make a drastic change in growing health problems using chemical preservatives.

Authors: J.O Alagbe,
Published: February 2023

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Trichilia monadelpha stem bark extract on the fatty acid composition of rabbit’s thigh meat. A total of 40, 6-7 weeks New Zealand white × Chinchilla crossbred rabbits with an average weight of 490 ± 4.40 were randomly divided to 4 groups with 5 replications consisting of 2 animals each in a completely randomized design. Rabbits in treatment 1 (T1) was fed basal diet with no Trichilia monadelpha stem bark extract (TMSB), T2, T3 and T4 were fed basal diet with 3mL, 6mL and 9mL TMSB per rabbit/day. Phytochemical analysis of TMSB revealed the presence of tannins (10.95 mg/g), alkaloids (9.22 mg/g), saponins (4.75 mg/g), oxalates (3.10 mg/g), flavonoids (15.88 mg/g), phenols (18.46 mg/g), terpenoids (8.62 mg/g), glycosides (7.11 mg/g) and 2-diphenyl 1-piccrlhydrazyhydrate (430.8 mg/g). Concentrations of vitamins identified in the extract are; vitamin A (2.190 mg/100g), vitamin B1 (0.567 mg/100g), vitamin B2 (0.301 mg/100g), vitamin B3 (0.227 mg/100g), vitamin B9 (0.080 mg/100g), vitamin B12 (0.209 mg/100g) and vitamin C (5.680 mg/100g). Composition of saturated fatty acid (TSFA) decrease with a significant increase in monosaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (P˂0.05) across the treatments. It was found that TMSB significantly (P˂0.05) influenced the concentration of total unsaturated fatty acid (TSFA). Therefore, it can be concluded that TMSB is capable of modulating the fatty acid and improving the quality of meat from rabbit without causing any deleterious effect on the performance of the animal.
The Nutrition Therapy, Treatment, Pathophysiology, Etiology, Epidemiology of Hypertension
Authors: Mushtaq Ayesha
Published: February 2023

Hypertension is both a cardiovascular condition and risk factor for other forms of cardiovascular disease. An increase in BP increases the forces applied to the endothelium and can cause initiation of an atherosclerotic lesion. Changes in pressure may also cause established plaques to rupture, which not only can initiate an event such as an infarct but also cause a proliferation of existing plaques. From 40 to 70 years of age, an increase of systolic BP by 20 mmHg increases risk of CVD in systolic blood pressure of hypertensive will prevent one death for every 11 patients treated. Basically, hypertension is a condition of chronically elevated blood pressure. Nutrition treatment of hypertension include lifestyle modification in which nutrition therapy, physical activity, ideal BMI, weight loss goals are added to prevent the more risk. Furthermore, the DASH is used to approach the nutrition therapy for hypertension. Minerals are added to diet to treat the hypertension i.e., potassium, calcium magnesium have all been positively correlated with reduction of BP and treatment of hypertension. It is important to remember that the nutritional effects demonstrated by the DASH study and in particular the relationship between K, Ca, Mg and blood pressure reduction were a result of a dietary pattern rich in these nutrients rather than mineral intake from supplements.

Optimization and Validation of Glycerol-induced Acute Renal Failure Model in Rats in Predicting the Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Acute Renal Failure
Authors: Sangana Ramachandra Rao
Published: February 2023

The study standardized the glycerol induced (intra-peritoneal and intra-muscular) acute renal failure (ARF) models in Sprague-Dawley rats and validated its potential to predict the change in pharmacokinetics of the selected probe drugs in renal impairment. We assessed the induction of ARF by measuring the serum creatinine and blood-urea-nitrogen (BUN) levels at different time points (baseline, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h). Glycerol administrations via both intra-peritoneal and intra-muscular routes caused a significant increase in serum creatinine and BUN levels in rats at 6 h; however, the levels decreased within 24 h with intra-peritoneal administration. In contrast, with intra-muscular administration, a sustained increase in serum creatinine and BUN levels was observed up to 72 h post glycerol treatment demonstrating a sustained ARF like condition in rats that was suitable to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Therefore, intra-muscular glycerol administration model was used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of selected probe drugs including metformin, digoxin, atorvastatin and linezolid. The pharmacokinetics of metformin and digoxin were significantly altered in ARF versus control rats with increase in plasma exposure, prolonged elimination half-life and decreased systemic clearance. However, the pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin and linezolid did not show significant differences between ARF and control rats. These results demonstrated the utility of the ARF model in rats in predicting pharmacokinetic changes in patients with renal impairment. Such models may prove useful in early discovery work to screen and prioritize compounds requiring dose adjustment in patients with renal impairment.

Published: February 2023

The oil palm, an economically important tree, has been one of the world’s major sources of edible oil and a significant precursor of biodiesel fuel. Unfortunately, it now faces the threat of a devastating disease named basal stem rot disease. Many researchers have identified Ganoderma boninense and Ganoderma zonatum as the major pathogens that affects the oil palm tree and eventually kills. Identification of the pathogen causing basal stem rot disease is just the first step. No single method has yet been able to halt the continuing spread of the disease. This review focus on description and lifecycles of two of the major Ganoderma species pathogens on oil palm trees namely G. boninense and G. zonatum. Additionally, we highlighted some possible strategies to control these pathogens and limit the spread of basal stem rot disease.

Clinical Pharmacology of Vancomycin in Pediatrics
Authors: Bereda Gudisa
Published: February 2023

Vancomycin plays an indispensable therapeutic function in managing severe infections caused by MRSA in the children population. Preponderance children dosing references for vancomycin recommend a daily dose of 40 mg/kg/day for empirical treatment, while a dose of 60 mg/kg/day is recommended for CNS infections. Vancomycin is absorbed in fewer amounts through PO in GIT, it is thus IV administered. IV infusions of vancomycin perhaps cause pain, phlebitis, erythema, urticaria, flushing, hypotension, tachycardia and the red man syndrome. Coincident administration of vancomycin with amphotericin-B, NSAIDs, aminoglycosides, cisplatin and other nephrotoxic agents perhaps exaggerated the risk of nephrotoxicity. Concomitant administration of vancomycin and furosemide, aminoglycosides, ethacrynic acid, etc perhaps increase the risk of ototoxicity. Coadministration of vancomycin and vecuronium increases the risk of neuromuscular blockage. If vancomycin and zidovudine are administered together, they increase the risk of neutropenia.

Liposomes wasinitially described by the British haematologist Dr. Alec D. Bangham and collaborators at the University of Cambridge in the 1960s and the first report was publicized in 1964.Liposomes are a form of vesicles that consist of many, few or just one phospholipid bilayer. The polar character of the liposomal core allow polar drug molecules to be capsulize. Amphiphilic (both hydrophilic and hydrophobic) and lipophilic molecules are solubilised within the phospholipid bilayer according to their affinity towards phospholipids.
Microalbuminuria as a marker of kidney damage in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Authors: Martell Martínez Moraima
Published: February 2023

Background: diabetes mellitus has increased its incidence and prevalence gradually in recent years throughout the world. Currently, diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure are the main causes of chronic kidney failure in its different stages. Nephropathy is one of the most serious complications affecting diabetics. Its onset is usually insidious, progresses without symptoms, and generally becomes clinically evident after 5 to 10 years of diabetes progression. This complication in early stages (incipient nephropathy) can be diagnosed through microalbuminuria, which is currently the first marker that exists to detect the existence of the condition. This review aims to summarize the importance of the determination of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients with the aim of making an early diagnosis of the disease and the control of risk factors.
Zoonotic malaria in sub-Saharan Africa: A Mini-Review
Authors: Alemayehu Aklilu
Published: February 2023

Malaria is a serious public health problem worldwide despite concerted efforts to control and eliminate it. Zoonotic malaria is emerging as a big threat to malaria elimination efforts. There is a big knowledge gap in our understanding of zoonotic malaria. It is difficult to adequately detect and identify Plasmodium species responsible for zoonotic malaria with conventional diagnostic tools. Although molecular tools have good sensitivity and specificity to diagnose zoonotic malaria, they are not readily available in resource-limited settings. There is limited data on the epidemiology of zoonotic malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. However, various reports signal for the presence of its risk lurking in the area. Therefore, organized and comprehensive studies are needed to characterize its epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa to guide strategies of mitigating zoonotic malaria in particular and malaria in general.
Disorders associated with Ion Channels
Authors: Johnkennedy Nnodim
Published: February 2023

Muscular wasting, a lack of muscle tone, or sporadic muscle paralysis are the most common symptoms of ion channel diseases, which are linked to defects in the proteins known as ion channels. Ion channels are diverse and differ with respect to how they open and close (gating) and their ionic conductance and selectivity (permeation). The development of novel molecules to modulate their activity, fundamental understanding of ion channel structure-function mechanisms, their physiological functions, how their dysfunction results in disease, their use as biosensors, and their utility as biosensors are important and active research frontiers. With a particular emphasis on voltage-gated ion channels, ion-channel engineering methods that have been used to investigate these facets of ion channel function are x-rayed.
The Role of the State in Labour Relations
Authors: Barbu Vlad , Iordache Ionuț , Cuculis Adrian-Călin , Mergeane Naciu Costin
Published: February 2023

Through this work, a brief analysis of the role of the state in labor relations was intended to be carried out. The state is not strictly speaking a single actor, but is composed of numerous different agencies, each with its own distinct goal and function. As a result, separating the political, economic, and judicial roles may be somewhat arbitrary. In reality, the state is more of an “open system” rather than a single or uniform party. The term “state” is an acceptable abbreviation to capture the interactions of all institutions and agencies that carry out the government’s will. It is important to understand that the state feels obliged to involve itself in labor relations through certain roles it holds, and to understand that it has an impact on the socio-economic aspect of a country.

Authors: Garg P.K.
Published: February 2023

Drones are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that do not carry a human operator, fly remotely or autonomously, and carry lethal or non-lethal payloads. Advances in fabrication, navigation, remote control capabilities, and power storage systems have made possible the development of a wide range of drones. The most popular ones are fixed-wing and multirotor drones.  They have several advantages and disadvantages and can be deployed quickly to obtain very high resolution imagery/point cloud data. With sophisticated computer vision, robotics and data, and low cost digital cameras, it is possible to get centimeter-level resolution and accuracy.  Advances in technology have made the increased uses of drones for various applications. The uses of UAVs/drones are increasing allowing 2D and 3D maps to be created and used for creation of 3D maps and digital elevation models (DEMs).  This paper describes in details about the two broad categories of UAVs; fixed-wing and multirotor UAVs. Their salient characteristics along with advantages and disadvantages are also given. It also provides insights to the users for selection of right kind of UAV.

Authors: Stephen Steena , Haldar Dipanwita , Patel N.R.
Published: February 2023

Mango farming is an important part of the Indian agriculture economy. Mapping of mango orchards is essential for monitoring mango plantations as well as its yield assessment. Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA) is a powerful image classification method which uses spatial and spectral information for image classification. This study assesses the impact of three vegetation indices; NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index), ReNDVI (Red Edge Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) and LSWI(Land Surface Water Index) on the accuracy of classification using object-based image analysis using Sentinel - 2 data. A temporal profile was generated to select the best possible dates for classification based on the maximum and minimum values of the index. LSWI gave the highest overall accuracy of the classification (89%) followed by ReNDVI (87%) and NDVI (86%).The study found that LSWI and ReNDVI have the potential for better mapping of Mango orchards and can be explored further to generate accurate Mango orchard maps.

Published: February 2023

Groundwater is one the major sources of natural water being exploited excessively for various uses in India.

Thus, it is very essential to monitor the spatial and temporal variability of groundwater quality. Geo-Statistical Interpolation using GIS has been considered as the best and most advanced method for the interpolation and prediction studies of groundwater pollution and quality, and is adopted universally. In this paper, ordinary Kriging with logarithmic data transformation has been used to interpolate and predict the spatial variation of groundwater quality parameters - EC, TDS, pH, Na+, Ca2+, Bi-Carbonate, Fluoride, Chloride, Sulphate and Nitrate using data pertaining to 48 well locations in the Dungarpur tehsil. Data was transformed and normalized using Logarithmic Transformation Method and Semivariograms were drawn and analyzed for selecting the suitable model. The best Semivariogram model was obtained based upon cross validation and on the lesser RMSE criterion and Coefficient of Determination. The results show that the best semivariogram model based on RMSE varied for each water quality parameter. For log transformed data Exponential model was found suitable for EC, TDS, Na+, TH etc.;  Spherical model for Ca2+ ; Chloride Gaussian Model for Chloride. For original or raw for non-transformed data Exponential Model was found suitable for Fluoride, Sulphate and Nitrate; and Gaussian Model for pH and Bi-Carbonates.

This paper examines the question of soteriological doubt within the movement of faith, as aesthetically represented by Johannes Vermeer’s painting The Allegory of Faith and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Lutheran cantata Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut (BWV 199). In placing these two artistic works in dialogue with each other, we will articulate the triangulating movement between the soul, faith, and the crucified Christ within the wider circulating movement of salvific action. Therefore, this paper is divided into three sections: 1.) the acknowledgement of sin, subsequent remorse, and utter soteriological doubt, expressed by Vermeer’s representation of original sin and spiritual despair and by Bach’s expression of the emotional weight of sin and guilt; 2.) the triangulation in the middle of Vermeer’s painting and the circulation in the middle of Bach’s cantata; 3.) the destruction of sin and the consoling hope in personal salvation, expressed by Vermeer’s depiction of Christ’s triumph over sin and by Bach’s depiction of the soul’s elation and ultimate reconciliation with God. Finally, we will conclude by mapping these three sections in the movement of faith onto the three spiritual stages of purification, illumination, and union as described in the Christian mystical tradition.
The long road to data-driven decision-making
Authors: Høybye-Mortensen Matilde , Ejbye-Ernst Peter
Published: February 2023

The implementation of digital technologies in organisations is often seen as a means by which to ease the administrative burden, create transparency, and to provide for better management information. Based on in-depth interviews with social workers, admin staff, and managers from eleven Danish municipal disability offices, this paper shows the nuances of the perceptions and ambitions to make management and welfare organisations data-driven. The article maps the infrastructures making management information possible. When social workers insert data in digital case management systems (CMS) on clients, services, and service costs, it becomes possible to extract this data and use it as management information. However, achieving this requires much more than a few clicks of a mouse. In fact, there is quite a lot of invisible work performed by the admin staff. The paper demonstrates how information on cost data and case overview travels and transforms within an organisational hierarchy. The analysis shows that the human impact is not out of the equation, even though some performance information is automatically aggregated. Performance information is indeed a result of cooperation between man and machine. Seeing as information is not a neutral raw material to be easily transported challenges the belief in data-driven organisations as a pure technical matter.
Digitization and the distance between case managers and placed children in Teledialogue
Authors: Andersen Lars Bo , Danholt Peter , Lauritsen Peter
Published: February 2023

Public digitization raises concerns that the distance between social workers and citizens will increase. Concerns which are particular prominent when digital technologies are introduced directly into the communication between social workers and citizens. On this background, this article investigates two questions: What exactly constitutes being 'close' or being 'distant' in the specific practices and situations of case managers interacting with placed children. And how are these forms of distance or closeness affected when case managers and children start to communicate through video conferencing, chat and texting. With an outset in Actor-Network Theory and experiences from a research project called Teledialogue, the article illustrates how the practice of case management operates through complex combinations of being close while maintaining distance. Combinations that were transformed by the digital technologies introduced with Teledialogue. Amongst others, it is argued that the distance entailed by video conferencing created comfort for children while allowing case managers to scrutinize facial expressions. It is also argued that in some cases, digital technologies paradoxically helped to build trust by breaking down and being difficult to use. The conclusion being that the consequences of digitization is not simply a matter of either/or between closeness and distance, but rather that digitization for better or worse transforms the ways in which distance and closeness are already present in the specific situations and practices of social work.
Engaging the data moment
Authors: Maguire James , Langstrup Henriette , Danholt Peter , Gad Christopher
Published: February 2023

All of the contributions to this special issue are occupied with how to engage data otherwise. This otherwise indexes the rich variety of approaches to data beyond what we are currently witnessing. Whether through the development of politically and ethically relevant forms of data experiments, or the construction of alternative visions of the much-critiqued data infrastructures of powerful platform providers, all the articles reflect upon how we - as scholars and citizens - can live and work with data in ways amenable to diverse, critical, and ethical forms of social existence. This introduction intervenes in this debate in its own particular way, principally by considering what it means to characterise the contemporary as a data moment. The term data moment, we argue, works as a conceptual device calling for more ethical-political engagement with data practices. At the same time, it also retains a temporal inflection. Moments, we claim, are not sequential steps in a linear process, but are themselves productive of, and products of, temporal orders. Moments are also saturated in affect, we argue, and it is such affects that contribute to how particular forms of meaning emerge with/as data. By embracing the compelling empirical, theoretical and ethical challenges of this data moment our ambition with this special issue is to make a modest contribution to how scholars can engage data in the present, while also shaping a future where data are treated critically, ethically, and reflexively.

Why and How Electronic Job Coaches Improve Employment for People with Disabilities
Authors: Sutter Steven ,   CeKTER
Published: February 2023

Even though the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act strengthens federal and state commitments to employing people with disabilities, there remain millions of Americans with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities (ID) who are still unemployed. To succeed in competitive employment, workers with ID require help with memory, task sequence and planning, and time management; skills that are often referred to as executive functioning. Typically, employers do not have the training to manage people with ID with these challenges. This task falls to job coaches, job developers or employment specialists (e.g., providers) and the agencies that provide such services. Without effective and efficient tools to support the executive functioning of individuals with ID, policies that aim to affect their competitive integrated employment can result in an unmanageable burden on the provider. Today’s jobs are more complex. Providers need tools that can help them effectively and efficiently build, record and adjust prompts and instructions as changes occur in real-time. However, they may not have the time and/or the skills required to make clear, accurate instructional prompts for multiple workers with ID in different settings. To identify the needs of employers, providers, and workers with ID, a NIDILRR-funded project collected data from supervisors, employers and providers of employment services to workers with ID. These interviews were used to determine the requirements of an ideal system that would help them better instruct, coach, track progress and manage teams of employees with ID. This brief describes their findings and development of a cloud-based interactive electronic job coaching app that allows emplyment services providers to efficiently convert work assignments into the essential details required by the mobile worker with ID, and then wirelessly transfer the appropriate instructions to the worker’s electronic coach.
La révolte de l’enfant-narrateur mort dans quelques romans québécois au tournant du xxie siècle
Authors: Gendron Karine
Published: February 2023

Depuis les années 1980, nous trouvons plusieurs romans québécois autothanatographiques, racontés à la première personne par un mort. Parmi les cas de figure rencontrés, celui de l’enfant-narrateur décédé constitue une singularité que le présent article approfondit à partir de trois oeuvres contemporaines : L’ingratitude de Ying Chen, La petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes de Gaétan Soucy et Tu aimeras ce que tu as tué de Kevin Lambert. Des points de recoupement entre ces oeuvres sont relevés pour mieux penser les spécificités énonciatives de l’enfant-narrateur mort, notamment la transgression narrative qu’il implique et la critique sociale portée par son énonciation et les thèmes qui le taraudent (l’emprise, la violence, la marginalisation). Ces romans abordent la mort frontalement et leur jeune narrateur énonce un discours qui tient de la révolte contre les sacrifices à faire au profit d’un futur pensé de manière fixe et fondé sur la transmission. Pour l’enfant qui meurt, l’asservissement du présent en vue de l’avenir reste vain et il préfère la mort – choisie dans les trois oeuvres – à la reproduction servile des traditions. Pour lui, l’avenir relève d’une idéation qui reste imprévisible et inachevable, deux caractéristiques qui rejoignent d’ailleurs la poétique des auteurs qui le mettent en scène.
Les spectres de l’hydro chez Tim Whiskeychan et Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau
Authors: Huberman Isabella
Published: February 2023

Cet article analyse la représentation des spectres de l’hydro dans une oeuvre d’art public, Iiyiyiu-Iinuu de l’artiste cri Tim Whiskeychan, et une oeuvre littéraire, Ourse bleue de l’écrivaine métisse crie Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau. Les deux oeuvres partagent comme toile contextuelle la disparition des sépultures eeyouch lors des inondations causées par le développement hydroélectrique sur les rivières Eastmain et Rupert dans les années 2000. Reposant sur l’hypothèse que l’extraction de la ressource hydroélectrique détruit des lieux de vie dans un geste nécropolitique, cet article examine les manières dont les deux oeuvres refusent l’effacement en mettant en scène les morts comme des relations dont il faut prendre soin malgré et en dépit de la transformation du territoire. Alors qu’Iiyiyiu-Iinuu évoque le deuil d’une communauté et crée un lieu de mémoire collectif au coeur de la zone de destruction, Ourse bleue dépeint le deuil personnel d’une femme qui communie avec les esprits de sa parenté.
