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.

The central premise of this paper is that firm level characteristics or behavioral traits, referred to as predispositions, influence how the firm behaves and interacts in its interfirm relationships (IFRs). This augments traditional approaches that focus on the intra-relationship perspective and/or on environmental influences on the relationship. Firm predispositions of strategic intent and rel...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concepts of fuzzy soft βopen sets, fuzzy soft β-continuous functions, fuzzy soft β-connectedness, fuzzy soft β-strongly connectedness, fuzzy soft β-C5 connectedness. Some interesting properties of these notions are studied. In this connection, interrelations are discussed. Examples are provided wherever necessary. 2010 AMS Classification: 54A40-03E72

The study examined the relationship among social connectedness, dysfunctional interpersonal behaviors, and psychological distress. The authors specifically hypothesized that the direct negative effect of social connectedness on psychological distress would be mediated by dysfunctional interpersonal behaviors. Prior to testing the hypothesis, the authors revised the original Social Connectedness...

We tested relationships between social connections, hope, and violence among young adolescents from socially distressed urban neighborhoods, and examined whether relationships between adolescents' family and school connectedness and violence involvement were mediated by hopefulness. Data were from middle school students involved in the Lead Peace demonstration study. The sample (N = 164) was 51...

This study examined the extent to which posthospitalization change in connectedness with family, peers, and nonfamily adults predicted suicide attempts, severity of suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms across a 12-month follow-up period among inpatient suicidal adolescents. Participants were 338 inpatient suicidal adolescents, ages 13 to 17, who were assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months postho...
