The Multidimensional Structure of Social Connectedness and Its Associations with Wellbeing and Quality of Life

Abstract Social connectedness has been conceptualised in diverse ways across the psychological and social sciences, with relationship quality, family support, trust, neighbourhood cohesion, and loneliness often examined separately. The present study examined whether these experiences represent distinct social phenomena or manifestations of a broader underlying social connectedness construct. Data were drawn from 41,242 participants from the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study....

A CAD-BASED REFINED ZIG-ZAG THEORY FINITE ELEMENT FRAMEWORK USING GMSH SOFTWARE

&lt;p class=&quot;SUMMARY&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;A computational framework for the structural analysis of laminated composite plates is presented. The framework combines geometry and mesh generation in Gmsh software with a Refined Zig-Zag finite element solver written by the author. The imported mesh provides the discretization of the computational domain, while the laminate definition, material data, stacking sequence, RZT kinematics, and analysis...

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF A NON-SLENDER HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE BEAM USING ABAQUS

&lt;p&gt;The shear design of non-slender reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) beams remains questionable, as indicated by experimental findings. This paper aims to perform a numerical simulation of a non-slender HSC beam and compare the results with experimental data. A finite element model of the tested HSC beam was developed in Abaqus, incorporating the properties as specified in the experimental study. The numerical results are compared with experimentally obtained ultimate load and...

Poljsko-crnogorske jezičke veze: sličnosti i razlike (s posebnim osvrtom na crnogorske dijalekte)

This paper, based on a secondary analysis of existing dialectological descriptions and field research on previously unexamined Montenegrin vernaculars, applies descriptive, comparative, and introspective methods to examine linguistic connections between Montenegrin and Polish at grammatical and pragmatic levels, including sounds, vocabulary, usage, and “false friends”, with a focus on substandard varieties. The findings show that, although similarities exist between the standard languages, closer...

Deep Learning Discrimination of Colorectal Cancer using Retinal Fundus Photographs: UK Biobank Case-Control Study

Introduction/Objective: Retinal fundus photography captures microvascular and neuroretinal features reflecting systemic health. While Deep Learning (DL) has enabled extraction of cardiometabolic and aging biomarkers from retinal images, its application to oncologic disease status discrimination remains largely unexplored. This study evaluated whether DL analysis of retinal fundus photographs can discriminate individuals with colorectal cancer (CRC) from those...

Internality of averaged Gauss quadrature rules for Jacobi measures modified by quadratic factor or divisor

Abstract The internality of quadrature rules ensures the approximation of integrals whose integrands are defined only on the support interval of corresponding measure. Previous studies addressed the internality of averaged Gauss and optimal averaged Gauss quadratures for Jacobi measures modified by a linear factor or divisor. In this paper we extend the analysis to Jacobi measures modified by a quadratic factor or divisor of the form $(t - z)(t - \overline{z})$, where $z = x +...

What Makes Civil Society Contentious? Examining Processual, Structural, and Relational Factors across 20 Countries of Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract This article develops a formal analytical framework for examining how processes, structures, and relations shape contention in civil societies across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). By integrating country-level data from the Bertelsmann Transformation Index, Civil Society Organization Sustainability Index, and Freedom in the World with individual-level data from the European Values Study in 20 postsocialist CEE countries, the article employs multilevel analysis to examine...

Statistical evidence of an association between Balkan temperature variability and the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Abstract The Balkan Peninsula is a climate change hotspot, yet its temperature variability in relation to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) remains insufficiently investigated. Using 0.1° × 0.1° ERA5-Land data from 7,262 grid cells, this study examines seasonal and annual air-temperature variability during 1950–2024 and its statistical relationship with AMOC variability during 1993–2023. ERA5-Land temperatures show close agreement with observations from 10 meteorological...
