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
<p class="SUMMARY"><span lang="EN-US">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
<p>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...
