Synchronous Online Learning in Higher Education: Vietnamese University Students’ Perspectives
Authors: Vu Ngoc Tung , Tran Minh Hai Nguyen
Published: March 2022

This quantitative study investigated Vietnamese higher education students’ engagement with synchronous online learning (SOL) during a heightened stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Theoretically, we employed Engeström’s (1987) Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to guide our research theoretically and pedagogically, and to construct reliable methods of data collection instruments responsible for multiple quantifiable variables informed by previous literature and personal goals that best match students’ study and work objectives. Over our 6-month research, we examined 475 Vietnamese college students. Our research showed that when engaged in SOL, the higher education research participants had a positive learning experience, perceived growth, and received learning assistance, in response to our quantitative examination of exploratory factor analysis and our qualitative counterpart of theme-based analysis. In light of this study, it is our hope that, according to the quantitative data, our delivery of initial insights into Vietnamese higher education institutions can provoke institutional leadership and management boards to think more closely about how to advance teaching and learning quality.
Eucaristia e Evangelização

A exortação apostólica «Evangelii Nuntiandi», a respeito da Evangelização no mundo de hoje, tem fundamentação cristológica: ela revê, à luz do relacionamento entre o Cristo evangelizador e a Igreja evangelizadora, a natureza, o conteúdo, os métodos, as pessoas a quem é dirigida e o espírito da evangelização. Podemos observar este relacionamento entre Cristo evangelizador e a Igreja, na vida de Jesus, e em suas palavras, em seus gestos que revelam sua missão, isto é, anunciar o Reino de Deus, justamente com o propósito de instituir uma nova aliança e um novo povo, que leve o anúncio da salvação até os confins da terra (cf. cap. I)...
João Paulo II e a luta pelas transformações sociais
Authors: Oliveira Pedro A. Ribeiro de
Published: March 2022

João Paulo II trouxe um importante apoio aos cristãos engajados no processo de transformação da sociedade brasileira. Seus gestos — como o encontro com os operários em São Paulo, o abraço em D. Hélder, o elogio à CNBB, para citar apenas três exemplos — vieram dar mais força aos cristãos que no Brasil lutam por uma sociedade justa e igualitária. Insistindo na profunda vinculação entre fé cristã e prática social, o Papa explicitou o sentido dos seus gestos: a Igreja tem a missão de participar do processo de transformação da sociedade, e por isso não pode ser entendida como confinada à sacristia. Dois problemas, entretanto, devem ser mais analisados: a questão da luta de classes e a questão sobre o papel específico da Igreja no processo de transformações sociais. É sobre elas que se atém esta análise...

ABSTRACT�This study aims to determine how the development of understanding of UPN Veterans East Java lecturers and students about radical movements in the campus environment. This type of research is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach involving a lecturer of Religion at UPN Veteran East Java as the research subject. From the results of the interviews, it was found that the lecturers had the same view on radicalism. This radicalism understanding develops from a lack of in-depth religious understanding. Meanwhile, among students, the development is due to the immaturity of students' thinking patterns and their great curiosity. The role of Religion lecturers in preventing radicalism at UPN Veterans East Java is by instilling the spirit of nationalism based on the Unitary State Republic of Indonesia, Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, defending the state to students, teaching Islamic insights that are Rahmatan Lil Alamin, moderate, open, and tolerant, fostering Islamic brotherhood, ukhuwah wathaniyah, and ukhuwah basyariah as well as instilling critical thinking in students.�Keywords: The Role of Religion Lecturers and Preventing Radicalism

Der Beitrag widmet sich der tiefenhermeneutischen Analyse einer Fallvignette eines geflüchteten Mannes, der bereits seit fünf Jahren in Deutschland lebt. Zunächst werden methodische Überlegungen zum Thema Flucht und Ankommen sowie Grundannahmen der Tiefenhermeneutik umrissen; anschließend werden die Ergebnisse der Analyse präsentiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen erstens auf intime Wünsche nach Beziehungen und Nähe hin, die unter den Bedingungen der Ankunftsgesellschaft von Geflüchteten latent gehalten werden müssen. Zweitens scheint in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Material aber auch eine Verstrickung der Interpret:innen in die Machtund Herrschaftsverhältnisse der Ankunftsgesellschaft wirksam zu werden, die zu einer Ausklammerung der durch Deutschland abgelehnten und verletzten Selbstanteile des Geflüchteten beitragen. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse in den Kontext psychoanalytischer Theorien zur Trauer gestellt.

En este trabajo se identificaron las áreas de bosques de pinos, encinos y mixtos, con mayor probabilidad de ser degradadas-deforestadas en la cuenca del río Conchos (Chihuahua-Durango, México). Mediante superposición de cartografías (inventario de suelo y vegetación series I y VI) se obtuvieron las áreas donde los bosques de pinos, encinos y mixtos, se ha degradado-deforestado durante el periodo 1985-2016 en dicha cuenca. Posteriormente se aplicó la técnica de regresión logística considerando ocho variables físicas y socioeconómicas, posiblemente asociadas con la pérdida/degradación del bosque. Se obtuvo un valor de Pseudo R2 de McFadden 0.204, que indica un alto poder predictivo del modelo. Se identificó una superficie de 733.43 km2 en riesgo de ser deforestada y degradada en el futuro, la cual representa el 6.7 % de la superficie de bosque existente actualmente en la cuenca. Las variables con mayor peso específico en la deforestación y degradación del bosque fueron, en orden descendente, marginación, concesiones mineras y tenencia de la tierra. Los resultados son útiles para prevenir la pérdida y degradación de los bosques en la cuenca del Río Conchos, y facilitan el manejo ambiental de la misma.

We received a unique material on the natural environment development for the last 12 400 cal. yr. BP in the central part of Iturup Island. The high-resolution paleoreconstructions were based on multi-proxy study of the paleolake sediments found on the plateau (height 400–420 m) located northwest of the Baransky Volcano. For the first time, a record of paleogeographic events was obtained for the Late Glacial and the early Holocene. The age model is based on 9 radiocarbon dates. Diatom analysis allowed us to distinguish 11 stages of lake-swamp evolution. The paleolake reached its maximum depth at ~9 890–7 900 cal. yr. BP and became extinct at 1 400 cal. yr. BP. The stages of vegetation development and the factors determining the change of landscapes have been restored. The Younger Dryas cooling recorded in Iturup was characterized by humidity changes. The role of forest vegetation abruptly increased at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary of ~11 470 cal. yr. BP) under warmer climatic conditions. Distribution of shrub pine as an indicator of stable snow cover was analyzed. Dark-coniferous forests existed in the mountainous part of the island since the Late Glacial and were most widely developed in the early Holocene. The onset of birch forest expansion at 6 200 cal. yr. BP was associated with the intensification of volcanic activity and frequent ash falls. A number of cold events were identified, whose manifestations were enhanced by the weakening of the Soya warm current. The intensive transfer of allochthonous pollen from the southern Kuril Islands and the Japanese Islands at 3 540 cal. yr. BP is a sign of cyclogenesis intensification in the Kuril Islands. Manifestations of the Holocene climatic rhythms in the landscape development of the Iturup mountainous part, as well as the influence of warm and cold currents and other regional factors, were analyzed.

On the modular representations of the general linear group $GL_5$ and the hit problem for the polynomial algebra of five variables
Authors: Phúc Đặng Võ
Published: March 2022

The Steenrod ring over the finite field $\mathbb Z/2$ of two elements is denoted by $\mathcal A.$ We knew that the $\mathbb Z/2$-cohomology of the product of $h$ copies of the infinite real projective space $\mathbb RP(\infty)$ can be identified with $P^{\otimes h} = \mathbb Z/2[t_1, \ldots, t_h],$ a polynomial algebra on $h$ generators with the degree of each $t_i$ being one. Moreover, this $P^{\otimes h}$ equipped with the (left) unstable $\mathcal A$-module structure. In the work [Abstracts Amer. Math. Soc. 833 (1987)], Franklin Peterson proposed the "hit" problem of determination a minimal generating set for the $\mathcal A$-module $P^{\otimes h}.$ Equivalently, the hit problem is to find a monomial basis for the unhit space $\mathbb Z/2\otimes_{\mathcal A}P^{\otimes h}$ in each positive degree. This problem, which remains open for arbitrary $h\geq 5,$ plays an important role in discovering some classical problems in homotopy theory. Singer's algebraic transfer of rank $h$ [Math. Z. 202, 493-523 (1989)], which passes from the coinvariants of certain representation of the general linear group $GL_h$ of rank $h$ over $\mathbb Z/2$ to the $\mathbb Z/2$-cohomology group ${\rm Ext}_{\mathcal A}^{h, h+*}(\mathbb Z/2, \mathbb Z/2)$ of the ring $\mathcal A,$ is a relatively efficient tool to describe mysterious Ext groups. Singer conjectured that this transfer is a monomorphism, but it remains unanswered for all ranks $\geq 5.$It is very difficult to calculate both sides of Singer's transfer in each positive degree. So, in the present study, we wish to use techniques of the hit problem to study this transfer for rank 5 in certain internal degrees. The approach is quite effective to determine the transfer. Especially, our results have shown that for each integer $s\geq 0,$ the cohomology group ${\rm Ext}_{\mathcal A}^{5, 67.2^{s}}(\mathbb Z/2, \mathbb Z/2)$ is isomorphic to the image of the dual of the invariant $[\mathbb Z/2\otimes_{\mathcal A}P^{\otimes 5}]^{GL_5}$ under the fifth Singer transfer in general degree $67.2^{s}-5.$ As immediate consequences, we notice that all decomposable elements $h_{s+1}H_1(s)\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathcal {A}}^{6,69.2^{s}}(\mathbb Z/2,\mathbb Z/2),\, s\geq 0$ are in the image the sixth algebraic transfer and that Singer's conjecture is true for rank $5$ in respective degrees. The obtained results are new and important for this rank.
Immortal Tracker: Tracklet Never Dies
Authors: Wang Qitai , Chen Yuntao , Pang Ziqi , Wang Naiyan , Zhang Zhaoxiang
Published: March 2022

Previous online 3D Multi-Object Tracking(3DMOT) methods terminate a tracklet when it is not associated with new detections for a few frames. But if an object just goes dark, like being temporarily occluded by other objects or simply getting out of FOV, terminating a tracklet prematurely will result in an identity switch.We reveal that \textbf{premature tracklet termination} is the main cause of identity switches in modern 3DMOT systems. To address this, we propose \tracker, a simple tracking system that utilizes trajectory prediction to maintain tracklets for objects gone dark. We employ a simple Kalman filter for trajectory prediction and preserve the tracklet by prediction when the target is not visible.With this method, we can avoid 96\% vehicle identity switches resulting from premature tracklet termination. Without any learned parameters, our method achieves a mismatch ratio at the 0.0001 level and competitive MOTA for the vehicle class on the Waymo Open Dataset test set. Our mismatch ratio is tens of times lower than any previously published method. Similar results are reported on nuScenes. We believe the proposed \trackerspace can offer a simple yet powerful solution for pushing the limit of 3DMOT. Our code is available at https://github.com/ImmortalTracker/ImmortalTracker.
Multi-target tracking for video surveillance using deep affinity network: A brief review
Authors: Mangi Sanam Nisar
Published: March 2022

Deep learning models are known to function like the human brain. Due to their functional mechanism, they are frequently utilized to accomplish tasks that require human intelligence. Multi-target tracking (MTT) for video surveillance is one of the important and challenging tasks, which has attracted the researchers' attention due to its potential applications in various domains. Multi-target tracking tasks require locating the objects individually in each frame, which remains a huge challenge as there are immediate changes in appearances and extreme occlusions of objects. In addition to that, the Multi-target tracking framework requires multiple tasks to perform i.e. target detection, estimating trajectory, associations between frame, and re-identification. Various methods have been suggested, and some assumptions are made to constrain the problem in the context of a particular problem. In this paper, the state-of-the-art MTT models, which leverage from deep learning representational power are reviewed.
To Correct or Not To Correct? Reliability of Psychological Tests and Incremental Predictive Validity from a Statistical Learning Perspective. (This paper was recently published in Behaviometrika: "An out-of-sample perspective on the assessment of incremental predictive validity")
Authors: Pratiwi Bunga Citra , Dusseldorp Elise , de Rooij M.J.
Published: March 2022

When validating a new test, its incremental predictive validity (IV) is often evaluatedfrom a classical approach using in-sample estimates. In this study, to evaluate IV, weadopt a statistical learning (SL) approach that uses out-of-sample estimates. Followingthis approach, we identify two important aspects to consider: 1) evaluate the predictionrules based on the out-of-sample prediction error, and 2) obtain the prediction rulesusing different estimation methods (e.g., OLS, SIMEX, and ridge). We performed asimulation study to investigate the effect of using in- and out-of-sample measures on IV,and to assess the influence of the reliabilities of tests on these two estimates of IV.Results showed that the two approaches differed, such that in-sample IV is on averagelarger than out-of-sample IV, but that the difference decreases as the size of thecalibration sample increases. In- and out-of-sample IV were both affected by thereliability of the added test, that is, as reliability increases IV also increases. Inaddition, if collinearity exists between two tests, the reliability of the first test has anegative relationship with the IV of the second test. Worthy of note is that thedirection of these effects did not differ between the two approaches (in/out-of-sample).It was further shown that using ridge regression enhances IV defined as out-of-samplewhen the size of the calibration sample is small. We also showed how to apply the newprinciples in practice using empirical data from a student selection procedure. Weconcluded that in addition to establishing strong reliability for the new test, validationshould be based on out-of-sample prediction accuracy and that users should consider ashrinkage method to estimate optimal rules for prediction for new persons.
The General Maintenance Orientation Scale: Interindividual Differences in Nurturing what We Have
Authors: Ecker Yael , Lange Jens , Imhoff Roland
Published: March 2022

From health to personal property and intimate relationships, people have valuable things that require effort and care to be maintained. We present a new measure of individual differences in maintenance striving, guided by a refined theoretical perspective on maintenance. Based on the expectancy-value framework, the General Maintenance Orientation (GMO) scale includes two constructs – one reflecting the value of the maintenance goal (appreciation of the current state; A), and the other reflecting the expectancy that maintenance behavior will serve one’s maintenance goal (belief in the necessity of maintenance; B). We show how this scale crucially extends our understanding of goal pursuit. Specifically, in line with our conception of the motivational underpinnings of maintenance, we predicted, pre-registered, and confirmed that the expectancy construct of the GMO correlates with a general avoidance tendency, whereas the value construct correlates with a general approach tendency. Accordingly, we offer a theoretical perspective that takes into account both points of overlap and divergence between maintenance, approach, and avoidance. We additionally found that, using the GMO, it is possible to disentangle maintenance, approach, and avoidance pursuit in important life domains. We therefore suggest that the GMO is a useful tool for researching and theorizing about maintenance motivation.
Comparable tactile sensitivity between males and females on the autism spectrum
Authors: Asaridou Magdalini , Wodka Ericka , Edden Richard , Mostofsky Stewart H. , Puts Nicolaas , He Jason
Published: March 2022

Autism is more commonly diagnosed in males than females, with an approximate ratio of 4:1. While some theories posit that males may be more susceptible to diagnosis for biological reasons, others suggest that females on the autism spectrum are being underdiagnosed due to sociological reasons such as the diagnostic criteria being biased towards the detection of autistic symptoms in boys. Sensory differences (i.e., “hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment”) have been recently added to the diagnostic criteria for autism in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. Although sensory differences are highly prevalent in autistic individuals, few studies have compared their presentation between autistic males and females. In the current study, we used psychophysics to assess tactile perceptual sensitivity in 76 autistic (58 males and 18 female) and 197 typically developing children (140 males and 57 females) aged between 8 to 13 years of age. While we observed differences in tactile sensitivity between autistic children and typically developing controls, we did not observe any Diagnosis by Sex interaction effects. That is, tactile sensitivity, which is lower in autistic children compared to typically developing controls, was comparable between autistic males and females. Given that the other core symptoms of autism (i.e., the social communication difficulties and restricted/repetitive behaviours) are known to present differently between autistic males and females, the finding that tactile sensitivity was generally comparable between the sexes suggest that the sensory differences of autism, such as tactile sensitivity, could be used as a sex-indifferent biomarker.

Profesi keguruan terdiri atas dua kata, yaitu kata profesi dan keguruan. Makna kata profesi dan keguruan. Secara harfiah, dalam kamus, kata profesi dimaknai sebagai pekerjaan. Namun, dalam kajian ini, bukan setiap pekerjaan dapat disebut profesi, sebagaimana yang sering terdengar di masyarakat. Misalnya, ada yang mengatakan si A berprofesi sebagai pemulung atau si B berprofesi sebagai pembantu rumah tangga. Dari kata profesi, dapat dibentuk kata profesional dan profesionalisme. Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia yang disingkat KBBI (Tim Penyusun Kamus Pusat Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Bahasa, 1997) memaknai profesi sebagai pekerjaan yang yang dilandasi pendidikan keahlian tertentu. Profesi guru merupakan profesi yang menuntut persyaratan khusus bagi calon tenaga pendidik atau guru di sekolah. Hal ini tercantum dalam Undang-undang yang menyatakan bahwa guru harus memiliki kualifikasi akademik S1 atau setara D.IV dan sertifikat pendidik. Disamping itu, guru juga dituntut harus memiliki kompetensi Pedagogik, Kepribadian, Sosial, dan Profesional. Undang-undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2005 tentang Guru dan Dosen disebutkan bahwa guru adalah pendidik profesional dengan tugas utama mendidik, mengajar, membimbing, mengarahkan, melatih, menilai, dan mengevaluasi peserta didik. Oleh karena itu, menjadi seorang guru bukan pekerjaan yang mudah. Selain guru memiliki tanggung jawab transfer of knowledge tetapi juga harus bisa melakukan transfer of value.
Coverage of Children’s Issues in the Nepali Print and Online Media: Impact of Public Pressure on Media Gatekeeping
Authors: Aryal Kundan
Published: March 2022

The media do not cover all the events and incidents of the day. There is a visible trend across the world that the process of gate keeping in the mass media outlets could be liberal with the presence of pressure groups. Though the usual trend of low media coverage on children in Nepal has been low, the spikes have been visible time and again with frequent and relentless persuasion of the cause in the form of pressure, advocacy and campaigns. Analysis of the media coverage of child-related issues from five national dailies and three prominent online news portals based on the cultivated data with qualitative and quantitative approaches demonstrate the direct relationship between the pressure and coverage. It reveals that influence over the gate keeping process would become the potential to cause wider coverage and prominence placement.

Jagatpal Mahavihar is a traditional Buddhist monastery of Kirtipur, situated at ChilancvoVihar, Kirtipur Municipality, Ward 10. There stands a complex area covered by five main Caityas in the central part of the monastery. The main aim of this study is to explore the cultural activities of the monastery, to assess the previous trend of renovation culture, and to find out the devotees the past renovation about the Caitya. There live 160 male members Vajracharyas among whom I selected fifteen as Ajus in the monastery as data for my study. I have applied the ethnographic method and entertained observation, and open interviews with the concerned members of the Guthi during the course of data collection. Photographies, inscriptions, books, and artifacts have been used for description. I started my research during Nepal earthquake 2015 and completed it in two years. My study revealed the series of events as the renovation acts. During renovation of the Caitya, the Ajus completed the amnesty worship; pulled the pinnacle by using a cow; removed nyasa and kept it in a secret place; installed the soul of the god by Pranpratistha pooja; and during the renovation of the center, devotees kept religious valuable things for merit. While building and renovating the Caitya in past it was revealed that ancestors used crystal, Fudan, images of Buddha, copper plate, gold, and silver and other valuable ornaments. Some archaeological artifacts have also proved that the last renovation had been done during the period of late King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev.

Miseries behind Heroism: A Shadowed Part of the Gurkhas in Farwell’s The Gurkhas
Authors: Rai Ram Prasad
Published: March 2022

This paper explores and analyzes the miseries, anguish, and hardships experienced by the Gurkhas and their families that are masked by their worldwide name and fame of their bravery in Byron Farwell’s The Gurkhas. The writer presents the bravery, dedication and loyalty exhibited by the Gurkhas in the Anglo-Nepal War (1814-16) that attracts the British administration. Despite the defeat of the Gurkhas, the British institution begins to enroll them into their army. Their heroic combat experiences play an important role in the success of Britain’s imperial movement around the world. They fought and got victory in many ways for Britain along with the First (1914-18) and Second (1939-45) World Wars. Moreover, the writer also discusses the discomforts, sufferings and agonies that the Gurkhas and their families went through before, during and after the wars. As this study is based on the qualitative research method, the researcher has consulted library for the related books, journal articles and internet support extensively. Some historians as well as the ex-British Gurkhas, who had been in wars for Britain, also have been consulted for further ideas. The research study is significant because it educates people about various problems faced by the Gurkhas and their families hidden behind the myth of their heroism.

Rastriya Banijya Bank has been excluded in this study due to the unavailability of annual audit report. Total number of observations were 182. The mean range, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, and regression analysis statistical tools were used in this study. This study reveals that the return on equity is highly scattered in comparison to return on equity. Supplementary capital is highly spread in comparison to core capital ratio. There is low degree of positive relationship of return on assets with core capital ratio and supplementary capital ratio. There is low degree of positive relationship of return on equity and supplementary capital however low degree of inverse relationship in between return on equity and core capital. Core capital ratio and total capital fund ratio positively influence on return on assets and return on equity.

वाद्यवादनमा तबलावादन सङ्गीतक्षेत्रको अभिन्न अङ्ग रही आएको छ । ताल विनासङ्गीतका अन्य क्षेत्रहरू गायन, सुरवादन तथा नृत्य अधुरो मानिन्छ । पूर्वीय सङ्गीतको क्षेत्रमा तालसम्बन्धी साङ्गीतिक प्रस्तुतिको मुख्य माध्यमको रूपमा तबला वादनलाई प्रमुख प्राथमिकतादिइँदै आइरहेको पाइन्छ । परम्परागत रूपबाट तबलामा विभिन्न घरानाका वादन शैलीहरूलाईआजको स्थितिसम्म ल्याउनको लागि पुरूष तबला वादकहरू झैँ महिला तबला वादकहरूकोपनि भूमिका रहेको छ । ती प्रत्यक्ष अप्रत्यक्ष भूमिकाले यथार्थपरक परिवेशलाई उजागर गरेकाछन् र आजको स्थितिमा ल्याएका छन् । आधा आकाश ढाकेर रहेका यस सृष्टिका अभिन्न अङ्गतथा सृष्टि र सृजनामा अपरिहार्य एवं अनिवार्य भूमिका वहन गर्दै आइरहेका नारी शक्तिकोसङ्गीत जगत्को तबला वादनको क्षेत्रमा पनि उत्तिकै सशक्त भूमिका देखिन्छ आफ्नो तन, मनर धनको बलिदान गर्दै आइरहेका नारीका प्रशस्त उदाहरणहरू यथार्थमा यत्रतत्र भेटिएकातथ्यहरूलाई जानकारीमा ल्याउनु यसको मुख्य ध्येय रहेको छ ।

{The music industry. Without rhythm Other areas of music such as singing, melody and dance are considered incomplete. Rhythm in the field of Eastern music Tabla playing as the main medium of related musical presentation is a major priority It is being given. Traditionally the tabla has been played by different families Female tabla players like male tabla players to bring it to today's situation There is also a role. These direct and indirect roles have exposed the realistic environment Are and have brought to today's situation. An integral part of this creation covering half the sky And the power of women who have been playing an indispensable and indispensable role in creation and creation Your body and mind play an equally powerful role in the field of tabla playing in the world of music And there are plenty of examples of women sacrificing money Its main goal is to bring the facts to light.}

I denne rapporten presenteres dybdestudien i det longitudinelle forskningsprosjektet Gode Barnehager for barn i Norge (GoBaN, www.goban.no). Med bakgrunn i hovedstudien ble et utvalg på syv barnehager studert mer inngående i denne kvalitative studien. Den overordnede målsettingen er å utdype kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner barnehager med god kvalitet, det vil si med middels til gode skårer på Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale - Revised (ECERS-R). Videre er hovedproblemstillingen: Hva kjennetegner barnehager med god kvalitet (middels til god kvalitet målt med ECERS-R), og hvilke pedagogiske virksomheter tilbys barna i disse barnehagene? Denne hovedproblemstillingen konkretiseres ytterligere gjennom syv delspørsmål som omhandler: barnehagens organisering og ledelse, personalets pedagogiske intensjoner, pedagogisk innhold og prosesser, samt barns perspektiv og barnehagens atmosfære. Teoretisk bygger studien på sosiokulturelle og økologiske perspektiver samt nyere forskning om kvalitet i barnehagen. Utvalget i dybdestudien er gjort fra barnehager i den tidligere gjennomførte hovedstudien i GoBaN. Metodisk er en etnografisk tilnærming valgt, som bygger på et bredt empirisk datamateriale fra syv casestudier, der både intervjuer, observasjoner og feltnotat er benyttet. Studiens hovedresultater viser oppsummert at gode barnehager er kjennetegnet av: høy kompetanse, profesjonell entusiasme, felles mål og retning for det pedagogiske arbeidet, en helhetlig tilnærming til barns omsorg, lek og læring, en vektlegging av å være ute, naturopplevelser, en klar ledelse av personalgrupper og barnegrupper, strukturering av hverdagen tilpasset barna, en organisering i mindre grupper for aktiviteter og lek, både voksen- og barneinitierte aktiviteter, et personale som samarbeider godt både internt, med foreldrene og med eksterne parter, samt fokus på barns perspektiv, barns medvirkning og trivsel. Vi finner også at det er utviklingspotensialer i barnegruppene, som å sikre inklusjon av alle barn i lek og samspill, bruk av mer åpne spørsmål og vedvarende, utforskende felles samtaler, bevisstgjøring av mangfold knyttet til likestilling og kjønnsrolleproblematikk og synliggjøring av kulturelt mangfold som går ut over det språklige, samt behov for økt didaktisk kompetanse. Til slutt trekkes noen implikasjoner for policy og praksis fram.

Ethnomathematics is a mathematical concept that exists in a culture. Using ethnomathematics in learning is one of appropriate method. Through learning mathematics that is associated with culture such as traditional games, it create a comfortable learning atmosphere so that students are interested in learning and mathematics seems easy and fun. The positive thing obtained from the concept of ethnomathematics with traditional games is that students can understand the concept and the transfer of values well. This study aims to determine the development of research on ethnomathematics in traditional games. The articles analyzed amounted to 166 of the 370 articles extracted with PoP (Publish or Perish) from the Google Scholar database over a period of 50 years. This research was conducted using bibliometric analysis method using PoP (Publish or Perish) and VOSviewers applications with the keywords "ethnomathematics" and "traditional games". Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that undergraduate and postgraduate and international journals have the most significant influence on citations compared to other journals, which is supported by changes in h-index. The results left 166 articles (a decrease of about 55.13%); data on citations also changed, with 1073 citations (decrease by 86.16%) and 214.60 cites/year (increase by 41.09%). This shows that research on ethnomathematical concepts through traditional games in mathematics learning, is a research topic that has been rising for the past few years based on the increase in citations every year with further exploration this research topic can develop widely and can be another method that can be applied to mathematics learning.
