Published: November 2022

When compared to the more traditional methods of authentication, biometric systems offer a much higher level of protection for a wide range of uses (like pin, passwords etc.). Various sectors of modern society can find use for biometric systems. Among these are authentication for computers, attendance tracking for businesses, financial transactions, safeguarding private information, securing access to buildings, and ensuring the safety of travellers at airports. Identifying and verifying individuals via their unique physical and behavioural characteristics is the primary function of the biometric system. Importance of biometric systems in modern society is analysed in this paper. Single-trait biometric user recognition is currently used, but it does not offer sufficient security for critical programmes. Multimodal biometric systems are used to get around these issues. Physical and behavioural characteristics, like fingerprints and DNA, signatures and fingerprints, etc., are all part of a multimodal biometric system's arsenal for authenticating users. In addition to the hard biometric features already mentioned (skin colour, age, height, hair colour, eye colour, gender, etc.), the use of a person's soft biometric traits is becoming increasingly common. While soft biometrics can be used to boost the efficiency of biometric systems that focus on other characteristics, they are not without their own set of drawbacks, such as a lack of permanence and distinctive behaviour. User authentication, security, and performance are all boosted by the work presented in this paper using Machine learning (F-SVM -Fuzzy-Support Vector Machine) model.

Published: November 2022

COVID-19, a severe respiratory infection, first appeared in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread throughout the world. To contain the COVID-19, several measures have been implemented around the world, and these actions have different effects on quality of life related to health (HRQoL). Even though lockdown and quarantine help to reduce the number of SARS COV2 infections, they also have detrimental impacts on the general public's health. The purpose of the study is to provide light on the harmful health impacts of social isolation and quarantine. From the results obtained it was observed that most often, lockdown and quarantine ended with negative impacts on human life and health. These were mainly noticeable and observed in long-lasting pandemics lasting longer than one month, with some even occurring just days after pandemics. These frequently include cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and psychological consequences.

INTRODUCTION: According to projections, 17.9 million deaths globally in 2019—or 32% of all fatalities—were caused by Cardia vascular disease. 85 percent of these deaths were caused by heart attacks and strokes. Nearly 75% of cardia vascular disease deaths take place in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Of the 17 million non- communicable disease-related fatalities that occurred in the globe in 2019 (under the age of 70), 38 percent were caused by Cardia vascular disease. The 95% of cardiovascularmay be prevented by addressing recidivism including smoking, poor eating habits, obesity, inactivity, and excessive alcohol use.(1) METHODOLOGY: In the present study non-experimental descriptive apporch. Data collected on 200 samples. A Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the samples. Tool was constructed to identify the demographic variables, and a set of self-structured questionnaires on knowledge regarding Angina Pectoris.(2) RESULT: Data presented in shows that level of knowledge regarding angina pectoris among adults the major findings are 79.5% of adults have average knowledge, the remaining 20% had good knowledge and 0(0%) had poor knowledge. The mean of the level of knowledge regarding angina pectoris among adults is 13.22 with SD is ± 1.75.(3) CONCLUSION :Age, gender, relationship status, education, and employment were demographic factors that did not substantially affect knowledge score since the p value was more than 0.05. No statistically significant correlation between each of the chosen demographic data and adult Angina Pectoris was seen. Although the general public had a fair amount of awareness regarding Angina Pectoris adults lacked accurate understanding of the condition. Health care practitioners should place more focus on health education to raise knowledge of sinus tachycardia in the public (4).

Influence of the Kenya National Policy on Peacebuilding and Conflict Management Framework on the Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees in Mombasa County
Authors: D. O. Odallo , P. G. Okoth , M. E. Were
Published: November 2022

Global experience with sustainable peacebuilding has been diverse since the term was formally introduced to the world by the United Nations in 1992. Since then, peacebuilding has been implemented in the absence of a universally accepted approach or clear criteria for success. Multiple actors have conceptualized and implemented peacebuilding to correspond with their contexts and needs. This is true for Kenya and Mombasa County, in particular. Mombasa Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees have been conducting peacebuilding in the County, against the backdrop of old conflict drivers such as poverty and resource-based conflict, and emerging threats to peace such as drug trafficking and youth radicalization. Therefore, the ability of the Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees to foster sustainable peacebuilding in these circumstances needs to be interrogated. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of the policy framework of the formal peacebuilding infrastructure in fostering sustainable peacebuilding. The conceptual framework was based on Galtung’s Theory of Peacebuilding, Galtung’s Theory of Structural Violence, and Lederach’s Conflict Transformation Theory. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and applied both convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires, key informant interviews (KII), and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guides and observation checklists. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data analysis. The study findings indicated that Mombasa County Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees are experiencing diminished agency because of a lack of resources to carry out peacebuilding work in the County. Those members of the Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees were not competent to undertake modern-day peacebuilding activities because of inadequate training. Therefore; the study recommends that the idea of peacebuilding through local peacebuilding structures such as Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees be a priority in Kenya’s peacebuilding discourse with some modifications in the formation and functioning of Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees. The Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees should be de-linked from the county security processes and positioned as the “Honest Brokers for Peacebuilding”, whose primary responsibility will be to harness all available resources in their locality to bear on their peacebuilding agenda. The national government should educate the public about peacebuilding and the role that Sub-County Peacebuilding Committees are expected to play in this agenda.
DESAFIOS RELACIONADOS COM O USO RACIONAL DA ÁGUA NA IRRIGAÇÃO DA ATIVIDADE AGRÍCOLA NA PROVÍNCIA DE NAMPULA
Authors: Issufo Natalia
Published: November 2022

Verifica-se cada vez mais a crescente falta de água para irrigação e outros usos. Também, está-se consciente de que, por sua irregular disponibilidade, a qual varia marcadamente ao longo dos anos, isto é, de ano a ano e de região a região, o uso da água de forma contínua e indefinida, torna-se praticamente impossível. Daí, uma das metas estratégicas para a preservação da disponibilidade e da qualidade dos recursos hídricos consiste no estabelecimento de critérios de uso racional em todas as actividades produtivas, razão pela qual esta pesquisa aborda a escassez de água, a agricultura irrigada e o meio ambiente, com base em informações e estudos que possam contribuir para o encaminhamento de uma agricultura planeada, conservando e optimizando os recursos naturais. Os modelos tecnológicos propostos devem considerar um rigoroso equilíbrio entre produção agrícola e preservação dos recursos naturais. O desenvolvimento actual da irrigação depende de procedimentos tecnológicos e económicos para optimizar o uso da água, melhorar a eficiência de aplicação, proporcionar ganhos de produtividade baseados na resposta da cultura à aplicação de água e outros insumos, sem que comprometa a disponibilidade e a qualidade do recurso.
A RELAÇÃO DO USO DE INIBIDORES DE ENZIMA CONVERSORA DE ANGIOTENSINA E A TOSSE
Authors: Souza Luiz Fernando Arantes , Souza Andréia Cristina Arantes
Published: November 2022

Os inibidores de enzima conversora de angiotensina (IECA) são uma classe de fármacos usados em diversas doenças, principalmente na hipertensão. Seu mecanismo está ligado ao sistema Renina-Angiotensina-Aldosterona, no qual ele atua inibindo competitivamente a enzima conversora de angiotensina (ECA). Dentre seus efeitos adversos, está presente a tosse seca, que é a principal causa de abandono ao tratamento. A tosse não possui justificativa direta, mas a teoria mais aceita é que a inibição da ECA causa acúmulo de bradicinina e substância P no trato respiratório, já que a ECA é responsável por degradá-las, e isso estimula diretamente os reflexos de tosse e de contração da musculatura lisa das vias aéreas. Os principais fatores de risco encontrados são sexo feminino, tabagismo e uso de tiazídicos associados ao tratamento. Pacientes leste-asiáticos também possuem maior risco. Fatores genéticos se mostraram associados ao risco de presença de tosse. O uso de estatinas se mostrou inconclusivo, pois um dos estudos abordados indicou como fator de proteção, enquanto as demais literaturas indicaram o contrário. A abordagem completa da tosse é imprescindível antes de indicar o desuso de IECA, pois outros fatores, como a insuficiência cardíaca, podem ser verdadeiros causadores do desenvolvimento da tosse. Como formas de combate ao sintoma, a interrupção temporária do uso aparenta ser possivelmente eficaz, já que parte dos pacientes não apresentam tosse ao retorno do tratamento. Uso associado de inibidores de canais de cálcio se mostrou eficiente no combate à tosse, devido a inibição da propagação do reflexo da tosse.

A análise da cobertura do solo permite identificar e delimitar as áreas com maior vulnerabilidade ambiental. Em face ao exposto, objetivou-se com este trabalho, analisar a dinâmica da cobertura do solo na microbacia e zona ripária do Rio Azul, para auxiliar no planejamento e gestão dos recursos naturais. A análise foi realizada com o software QGIS 2.10.1 e imagens dos satélites Landsat 5 (1984) e Landsat 8 (2022). A microbacia tem área de 407,55 km2. No ano de 1984, a microbacia apresentava 77,81% da área coberta com floresta nativa, 17,34% com agropecuária, 4,84% com campo nativo e 0,01% com água. No ano de 2022, as áreas de agropecuária, floresta nativa, água e campo nativo abrangeram 77,39, 20,55, 1,08 e 0,98% da área total, respectivamente. A zona ripária tem área de 46,87 km2, sendo observado que no ano de 1984, 87,24% desta área era coberta com floresta nativa, 11,65% com agropecuária, 1,07% com campo nativo e 0,04% com água, e no ano de 2022, constatou-se que as áreas de floresta nativa, agropecuária, água e campo nativo abrangeram 68,74, 22,92, 8,15 e 0,19% da área total, respectivamente. Conclui-se que a área de agropecuária cresceu na microbacia e na zona ripária, sendo esta última a região mais vulnerável do ponto de vista ambiental. Portanto, recomenda-se a recomposição da vegetação nativa na zona ripária que está ocupada com agropecuária (10,74 km2).

Published: November 2022

Islam is a religion that has complex dimensions. It can be seen and understood from various points of view, phenomena, and also scientific disciplines. The study of Islam is not only related to issues of divinity or faith, but also includes the history of Islamic culture. If Islam is viewed from a normative perspective, Islam is a religion that can apply to the analytical and critical scientific paradigm. Meanwhile, if viewed from a historical perspective, Islam can be said to be a scientific discipline, because it is practiced by humans and grows and develops in human life, so that it can be called an Islamic science, where the scope of the discussion also looks at the social system and cultural phenomena. The purpose of this study is to find out and explain the meaning of the history of Islamic studies and the relationship between normativity and the history of Islamic studies. The research method is categorized in the type of library or literature study research, whether in the form of books, journals, and previous studies. So history or history is a science in which various events are discussed by taking into account the elements of place, time, object, background, and the actors of the event. Thus, normative and historical are closely related and cannot be separated because normative contains issues of divinity while historical contains historical values originating from the Qur'an and hadith.
Harmonisasi Keluarga: Telaah Fenomena commuter marriage di Indonesia
Authors: Uyun Qurratul , Rohmatulloh M. Sabiq
Published: November 2022

This paper examines efforts to maintain harmony for commuter marriage families. The basic thing to do to form a sakinah family for commuter marriage actors is to carry out the rights and obligations of each family member. Because the concept of a sakinah family will not be realized if it only relies on one person, it is required to create cooperation between family members with one. The research method uses a qualitative with an empirical approach. The results show that to maintain the harmony of the commuter marriage family, it is necessary to fulfil several aspects such as financial aspects, biological aspects, and psychological aspects, but to fulfil these aspects, additional steps are needed to create a harmonious family. These steps are needed to create a harmonious family. These steps are obtained using Bourdieu’s theory, namely social capital, charismatic, and habitus.

In our present investigation single crystals of Potassium borodicitrate (KBDC) (for a fixed content- host lattice) with Cu2+, a guest species, as a dopant (at four 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2 g) in weight ratio have been synthesized at room temperature by using slow evaporation method. These as-synthesized 4 crystals have been subjected to Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies. The EPR spectrum shows that 0.5 g dopant KBDC give a 4 equidistant hyperfine lines with the perfect symmetry confirms that the localization of Cu2+, a paramagnetic impurity, within it reveals that the maximum absorption of EPR signals happens at 0.5 g Cu2+ than any other concentrations with reference to 20° in horizontal plane than the normal and vertical recording in the same angular projection. The Spin Hamiltonian calculations are used to obtain spectroscopic field splitting factor g-tensor values, gxx = 2.0421, gyy = 2.1962, gzz = 2.2827 and hyperfine splitting factor A-tensor values Axx = 150, Ayy = 112 and Azz   = 134. The K–O bond length associated with directional cosines of gzz tensor reveal that the Cu2+ is located interstitially. This optimized single crystal has furtherance been subjected to Single cystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), Fourier transform infrared Spectrascopy (FTIR).
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and compared with pure KBDC single crystal. The XRD unit cell crystalline parameter variations reveal that there is doping effect of Cu2+ into the host lattice brings forth structural coordination of Cu2+ with KBDC. The FTIR confirms that complexation of host and guest through molecular interactions in the finger print region. The EDAX mapping shows Cu2+ presence in the crystal.
HIGHLIGHTS

SXRD are taken to confirm that structure of pure KBDC and Cu2+ doped KBDC are same
The spin Hamiltonian parameters of KBDC-Cu2+ single crystal are calculated through EPR spectra
On analyzing the spectra, it is found that the doped ion site location symmetry is identified as interstitial and experience orthorhombic local field symmetry
In addition to the above studies FTIR and EDX confirms the presence of Cu2+ ion

O presente artigo examina conhecimentos e alternativas que o poder público e a sociedade podem dispor para subsidiar a preservação do direito a moradia daqueles que estão nas condições de vulnerabilidade social, porque não conseguem arcar com os custos econômicos da manutenção da propriedade territorial que tem o caráter específico de moradia. Pretende-se que o exercício do direito à moradia possa expandir-se em conformidade com o estabelecimento de padrões compatíveis com as necessidades habitacionais daqueles que também devem ter preservado o direito de permanecer na cidade. As descobertas proporcionadas pela pesquisa realizada buscam contribuir para com os setores do poder público municipal que são responsáveis pelas ações de planejamento urbano e de moradia, de trabalho e renda, bem como de benefícios assistências. É fundamental que esses tenham à sua disposição informações que auxiliem na tomada de decisão com relação aos investimentos públicos de cunho social que precisam continuar sendo feitos na realidade das periferias das cidades em intensificados processos de urbanização.

El recorrido que se propone es a través de una perspectiva interdisciplinaria guiada por la lectura de autores clave. Proceso que nos permite poner en tensión y/o articular universos conceptuales, prácticas y territorios; entramados con el contexto social, político y económico del país durante los años noventa y el principio de siglo.  Para indagar en este análisis se tiene en cuenta el rol del Estado, la intervención del llamado “tercer sector “y el surgimiento de proyectos pedagógicos privados, como las clínicas de arte (Zuain y Giménez, 2009) y las residencias (Mellado, 2015; Sepúlveda y Petroni, 2011) en los procesos de formación e inscripción de los artistas visuales. Por otro lado, nos proponemos indagar en torno a pedagogías des-territorializadas identificando operaciones extractivistas de carácter epistémico y cultural para reflexionar sobre las condiciones de producción artística, en Argentina, durante la última década de los años noventa y principios de los dos mil (Grosfoguel, 2016).
La investigación participativa: sus aportes a la extensión crítica
Authors: Tommasino Humberto , Pérez Sánchez Marcelo
Published: November 2022

En el presente trabajo se propone un estudio comparativo de las producciones de algunos referentes de la Investigación Participativa. Se revisan algunos de los textos de Orlando Fals Borda, Paulo Freire, João Bosco Guedes Pinto, Michel Thiollent, María Teresa Sirvent y Joel Martí. Este trabajo se inscribe en el proceso reciente de transformación universitaria en Uruguay, en particular, en una de sus iniciativas: la de la integración curricular de la extensión a través de lo que se ha denominado “prácticas universitarias integrales”. En este marco, la reflexión teórico-metodológica sobre la extensión crítica y las prácticas de investigación-acción conectadas con ella resultan fundamentales para dotar las iniciativas en curso de mayor pertinencia académica y potencial transformador.
Transformaciones en las referencias identitarias y sentimientos de pertenencia en el Río de la Plata
Authors: Raya Sebastián
Published: November 2022

El artículo tiene por objetivo evaluar la influencia de los sentimientos que generan las identidades políticas, a partir de la figura de Manuel Belgrano. El eje discursivo en el que se indaga la correspondencia y documentos de Belgrano se encuentra dado por el contenido referencial de los términos “patria” y “nación” que se fueron transformando desde la crisis imperial, la crisis misma en Buenos Aires y luego en plena guerra revolucionaria.

En un primer momento se analizan esas referencias indentitarias en la etapa colonial, período en el que Belgrano participó de la burocracia española como secretario del consulado y en el que formó parte de las milicias urbanas en defensa de Buenos Aires ante las invasiones inglesas. En una segunda instancia, la etapa revolucionaria a partir de 1810, su rol en la junta, y como diplomático en Paraguay y en el Norte. Una etapa en que la construcción identitaria choca con la realidad y desencadena un conflicto de sentidos que lo obligan a redefinir su pertenencia social y cultural. Finalmente, la tercera etapa independentista, la más difundida en sus proclamas de libertad e independencia, cuando subroga a Pueyrredón en el Ejército del Norte.
Poder legislativo y privatizaciones. Hacia la construcción de consenso dirigencial sobre la venta de empresas públicas en Argentina (1983-1989)
Authors: Luna Camila
Published: November 2022

Con miras a profundizar en el análisis de la conformación de consenso sobre la reforma estatal argentina, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo reconstruir los posicionamientos adoptados en el poder legislativo en los proyectos de venta de empresas públicas presentados al Congreso entre los años 1983 y 1989. En este sentido, se pretende aportar a una relativa vacancia de la literatura sobre el apoyo a las reformas, a partir del abordaje del Congreso como actor fundamental y de un período previo a la efectiva toma de decisiones sobre la transferencia de empresas públicas al sector privado. Para alcanzar el objetivo propuesto, se consultaron los registros de los trámites parlamentarios, los diarios de asuntos entrados y los diarios de sesiones del Congreso nacional entre diciembre de 1983 y julio de 1989. A su vez, se relevaron los discursos expresados en la prensa alrededor de las fechas significativas vinculadas a la presentación de los proyectos. A partir del análisis de estas fuentes, es posible observar la gestación y orientación de acuerdos sobre transformaciones estructurales, salientes de los debates y deliberaciones a los que las propuestas legislativas dieron lugar.
Controversias en torno a la deuda pública externa durante los años democráticos: la izquierda del Movimiento Todos por la Patria frente al alfonsinismo (1984-1988)
Authors: Rossi Ignacio Andrés
Published: November 2022

La deuda pública externa constituyó uno de los principales condicionantes de la política económica del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) y de la transición a la democracia a partir de 1983 en Argentina. En virtud de ello, aquí se propone identificar el tratamiento específico que tuvieron los debates en torno a la misma en una publicación amplia de la izquierda argentina: el periódico Entre Todos los que queremos la liberación (ET) del Movimiento Todos por la Patria. Mediante un enfoque micro histórico y a partir de las notas, debates y voces incluidas en la publicación que tuvo su mayor actividad entre los años 1984-1988, se propone analizar las concepciones, ideas y discusiones en torno a la deuda externa argentina. Así, se ha podido constatar que la postura sobre las causas del endeudamiento, cómo resolverlo y qué papel debería tener la sociedad en tal asunto, no contaron con consensos homogéneos. Por el contrario, y en un amplio abanico de izquierda, las posturas variaban, aunque en la mayor parte de la tirada se vincularon con una defensa de la democracia más asociada a la oposición contra la dictadura precedente que a la edificación de un nuevo régimen.
Procedimientos forenses practicados por médicos de ciudad en casos de homicidios de indígenas: Provincia de Cautín (Chile), 1896-1911
Authors: Fabregat Peredo Mario
Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo de carácter exploratorio tiene por objetivo describir las características de los informes médico-legales realizados por médicos de ciudad que se desempeñaron en la región de La Araucanía. Sostenemos que la intervención médico-forense, como parte de las funciones burocráticas, tuvo por objetivo establecer y consolidar el dominio estatal en los territorios conquistados, a partir de la nación concebida teóricamente. Esto podría haber llevado a los médicos –como parte de un ejército blando– a discriminar negativamente a la población mapuche en su intervención profesional, afectando la calidad de los informes forenses practicados. Nos hemos centrado en un conjunto de sumarios por homicidio de indígenas solicitados por la justicia chilena, principalmente en el departamento de Temuco, perteneciente a la Provincia de Cautín entre los años 1896 y 1920.
"De tierra de nadie a patrimonio de todos”. Vecinos y municipios en el quehacer vial bonaerense a mediados del siglo XX
Authors: Salomón Alejandra L.
Published: November 2022

A fin de cuestionar los relatos lineales sobre el derrumbe del asociacionismo tras la desarticulación de los territorios rurales a mediados del siglo XX, el trabajo plantea la emergencia de una nueva y multifacética oleada de fomentismo vial. Específicamente, desde una perspectiva institucionalista y con base en investigación documental, demuestra que, a fines de los años cincuenta y comienzos de los sesenta, la novedosa dinámica institucional –que proveyó de asesoramiento, recursos económicos y equipamiento a las comunas– canalizó dentro de la gestión estatal la colaboración vecinal en materia vial en el interior de la provincia de Buenos Aires. En efecto, núcleos activos del fomentismo vial, nutridos de la experiencia previa y signados por un perfil más institucionalizado, se convirtieron en interlocutores privilegiados de los municipios.
Cocreando y empoderando en eHealth
Authors: Lapuente Aguilar Irene
Published: November 2022

En las últimas décadas, está proliferando la tendencia a situar al paciente en el centro del servicio médico que recibe, incluyendo sus miedos, problemáticas o deseos. El diseño ha pasado de ser liderado por genios creativos o la tecnología per se, a ser incentivado por las necesidades de los usuarios. La cocreación, definida como la suma de empatía y creatividad colectiva, consigue dar respuesta a problemas mejor enmarcados con soluciones bien recibidas. Hasta el 2020, muchos de los procesos de cocreación se llevaban a cabo de forma presencial. El contexto vivido últimamente ha forzado la virtualización de estos procesos. Proponemos una comparativa entre los procesos participativos físicos y virtuales para cocrear soluciones eHealth con pacientes y familiares. El estudio de dos experiencias realizadas por el eHealth Center de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) nos muestra ventajas en ambos formatos. Analizamos un proceso de cocreación físico (prepandemia) y otro virtual (durante la pandemia). Ambos han concluido en la creación de una aplicación: Autapp y KidneyApp. Analizaremos el trabajo previo y durante las sesiones de cocreación, incluyendo las metodologías, así como la aceptación por parte de los participantes y los resultados; para proponer un modelo mixto de cocreación.
Escrita como contraponto aos silenciamentos: notas sobre As netas da Ema
Authors: Buchweitz e Silva Janaína
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo analisa as representações do feminino através das personagens presentes no romance As netas da Ema, publicado por Eugenia Zerbini em 2003, bem como o combate a diferentes formas de silenciamentos. A produção literária em análise contribui com a democratização da literatura ao abordar as experiências das mulheres ao longo das gerações, com ênfase em questões pertinentes para a categoria das mulheres, tais como a violência e o corpo, problematizando temas como a gestação, a maternidade, a menopausa, o estupro e o envelhecimento, e inserindo as mulheres no discurso histórico ao tematizar o período da ditadura militar brasileira e as sequelas que as agruras daquele período deixaram. Assim, podemos compreender As netas da ema como uma tentativa de combate a diferentes silenciamentos: o silenciamento que permeia o período da ditadura, e também o silenciamento das mulheres, que por décadas não foram ouvidas, tanto no campo social quanto no campo literário.
Does cartographic education need an epistemology? Traditions and transitions in Brazilian school cartography
Authors: Seemann Jorn
Published: November 2022

Knowledge philosophies have been a constant theme in cartography for the last three decades and have resulted in a lively debate on a variety of approaches (modern, postmodern post-processual and post-representational) in the field. These discussions have not had a significant impact on theories and methodologies in cartographic education. Teaching about and with maps embraces well-established ideas, but is reticent to accept alternative modes. This article seeks to analyze cartographic views and epistemologies in the context of school cartography in Brazil in order to point out traditions, transitions and trends that consolidate easy-to-follow principles, but may curb a diversity of approaches in the subfield at the same time. I argue that teaching with maps requires a broader debate about adjustments and innovations beyond the taken-for-granted standards. For this purpose, I will briefly discuss epistemologies in the context of scientific cartography and then, based on the existent substantial bibliography on cartographic education in Brazil, outline specific traditions that have laid the foundations for today’s school cartography in the country. Obstacles and challenges for the development and improvement in teaching are identified, with the intention to rethink common practices and experiment alternative or complementary forms and modes in the classroom. The revision and reformulation of specific principles, concepts and themes can strengthen an inclusive, diversified and pluralistic vision in cartographic education that can serve as a useful tool for citizenship cartography in Brazil.
