This study examined the psychometric properties of the Social Connectedness in Mainstream Society (SCMN) and the Social Connectedness in the Ethnic Community (SCETH) Scales in two groups of ethnic minorities. We especially examined their theoretical/conceptual and empirical viability in relation to other established constructs of general social connectedness, acculturation, and enculturation. A...

Manual tracing of the blood pool from short axis cine MR images is routinely used to compute ejection fraction (EF) in clinical practice. The manual segmentation process is cumbersome, time consuming, and operator dependent. In this paper, we present an algorithm for the automatic computation of the EF that is based on segmenting the left ventricle by combining the fuzzy connectedness and defor...

Introduction. In his monograph [l], Császár introduced the notion of a syntopogenous space, which generalized the notions of a topological space, a proximity space, and a uniform space. Although Császár was able to obtain many of the usual theorems of general topology in this more general setting, the basic topological notion of connectedness was not introduced at all. Mrówka and Pervin [2] hav...

People have been shown to exhibit social loafing when working as a team, and these effects are thought to be enhanced when working in distributed contexts. This paper reports on an experiment that examined the effect of activity awareness on feelings of connectedness and willingness to work in virtual teams. The results show that activity awareness indeed had a significant impact on feelings of...

This study examines the time-varying connectedness among realized volatilities of seven major cryptocurrencies between January 2020 and May 2022. To this end, we implement time frequency parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) approaches. Our findings propose that (i) COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected dynamic connectedness; (ii) total index hits its apex around official announcement pa...

Connectedness represents the most significant and fundamental topological property. It highlights main characteristics of spaces distinguishes one topology from another. There is a constant study bipolar soft generalized (\( \mathcal{BSGTS}s \)) by presenting \(\mathcal{BS}\) \( \widetilde{\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}}} \)-connected set space in \(\mathcal{BSGTS}s\) as well it discussing some proper...

Debates about academic freedom have become increasingly fierce and frequent. Legislative efforts to regulate American professors proliferate across the nation. Although most American scholars desire to pages: 272 Solidarity as they have emerged in particular fiscal problems this together cracking open. And what do we would have to say that professors need just. She can refer to accept the capit...

Theory and research agree that connectedness to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community is an important construct to account for in understanding issues related to health and well-being among gay and bisexual men. However, the measurement of this construct among lesbian and bisexual women or racial and ethnic minority individuals has not yet been adequately investigated. Th...

Let R be a real closed field. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture says that any piecewise polynomial function f on Rn can be obtained from the polynomial ring R[x1, . . . , xn] by iterating the operations of maximum and minimum. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we state a new conjecture, called the Connectedness conjecture, which asserts, for every pair of points α, β ∈ Sper R[x1, . . ...
