This paper attempts to provide a systematic view to the λ-connectedness method. This method is for classification/segmentation, fitting/reconstruction, and inference. A common type of partial connectivity that describes the phenomenal of gradual variation is studied in various domains. The previous research work on λ-connectedness was abstracted and integrated into a unified framework: a networ...

Adolescent suicide is a major public health concern. Stressing the need for public health-based solutions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified "connectedness" as one means of pursuing this agenda. To advance this effort in suicide prevention with adolescents, (1) consistencies and variation in the literature overtly linking connectedness to suicide thoughts and behaviors (...

As a fairly new establishment for childcare, afterschool programs are understudied. However, some research proposes that these environments provide risk prevention for problem behavior. This research investigates the roles of attendance and connectedness in afterschool programs upon children's substance abuse and problem behavior. Multiple regression analysis was used among 22 programs to gauge...

in this paper, a certain new connectedness of l-fuzzy subsets inl-topological spaces is introduced and studied by means of preclosed sets. itpreserves some fundamental properties of connected set in general topology.especially the famous k. fan’s theorem holds.

Research in high income countries shows parent-child connectedness to be protective against undesirable sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes among young people. Little has been done to understand the nature of parent-child connectedness, the structural factors that impact on connectedness and parents' understanding of how connectedness affects their children's sexual behaviour in sub-S...

The study investigated factors associated with internalising emotional and behavioural problems among adolescents displaced during the most recent Chechen conflict. A cross-sectional survey (N=183) examined relationships between social support and connectedness with family, peers and community in relation to internalising problems. Levels of internalising were higher in displaced Chechen youth ...

The influence of environmental attitudes on environmental behaviors has long been discussed. However, few studies have addressed the foundation of such attitudes. In the present study, we explored primitive belief underlying environmental attitudes, i.e., connections with nature, and its relationship with pro-environmental behaviors. Specifically, we used scales, a computerized Implicit Associa...

A general notion of connectedness with respect to a closure operator on an arbitrary category X is used to produce some connectedness notions in the category of fuzzy topological spaces. All these notions turn out to be connectednesses in the sense of Preuß. Some already existing notions of connectedness in the category of fuzzy topological spaces are obtained as special cases of ours.
