The present paper had as aim to identify factors of inter-organizational relationships which promotes and restricts the formation of companies’ cooperation network, from two levels of analysis (organizational and inter-organizational). To achieve this goal, it was developed a descriptive-qualitative study, with prospecting for primary and secondary data on a cooperation network. The universe was composed by 41 participating companies associated to the analyzed network. The sampling procedure was for researcher’s accessibility and convenience. As a result, it was identified that the network is guided by goals of cooperation among the participating companies, in addition to representing the sector and provide services in the interests of the associates. The main factors influencing the formation of the network were: business center, marketing and training; but only training has been achieved satisfactorily. The business center and marketing factors have not yet been fully developed, being both identified as restrictive factors.

The aim of this study is to analyze Carl Czerny’s etude book Op.849, 30 Études de Mécanisme, which is widely used in piano education, and to reveal its technical gains and to create a guide for piano educators and students about this book. In this qualitative study, document and content analysis techniques were used. Based on Czerny’s handling of correct playing under the titles of nuances, articulations and tempo, document analysis criteria were determined, and then the studies were examined and interpreted one by one in terms of these three elements and their changes. At the same time, some quantitative data obtained were evaluated descriptively. As a result, it was seen that the composer designed the studies in this book within a certain program in terms of nuance, articulation, and technique, and it was understood that he prioritized not ignoring musicality while performing technical studies. It is thought that this study can be taken as an example for the document criteria in analyzing Czerny’s other study books, as well as a guide for those who want to perform these studies and especially for piano educators. Keywords: Carl Czerny, Op.849, 30 Études de Mécanisme, etude, method

Despite Church teachings on climate change and most Catholics accepting the science and being concerned, a large minority of Catholic laity and clergy deny it. This multi-sited, qualitative study, which includes supporting quantitative data, focuses on how skepticism is articulated by Catholic climate change skeptics, and transmitted and transmuted through Catholic networks. While Catholic climate change skeptics echo other skeptics, they also bring Catholic perspectives, often mingled with conservative religious and political views. Some express concern common among other Christian skeptics that believing in climate change leads to neopaganism and promotes anti-human sentiments. The focus is on Catholic climate change skeptics and their ideas, not Catholicism per se, and various cultural, social, and psychological factors, including their understanding of Catholicism, that impact their climate change skepticism. This contributes to the growing scholarship on climate change skepticism.

It has long been the concern of the church to present acts of worship in a manner that engages the creative potential of young people. What has been needed, however, is in-depth research concerning the views of contemporary young people on this issue. In this article, Emery-Wright draws on his doctoral thesis to provide quantitative data from the Methodist Church in the United Kingdom. From this, he is able to draw conclusions, and thereby provide further insights to the wider church, as to the way forward.

This mixed-method study was done using a random sampling to determine the sample. The data in this study was obtained by distributing a questionnaire to the mothers of the babies. The quantitative data were analyzed using univariate by STATA software 12 S.E while the qualitative study was done to five midwives using an indept interview. The results obtained were that almost all mothers had a good perception of midwife support because they really received support since the antenatal period through antenatal classes. Therefore, it is recommended for midwives to be able to provide breastfeeding support early on, i.e., by conducting clear counseling about breastfeeding in the antenatal class

Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of social skills training on enhancing self-concept of teenage mothers in Kibera. Because teenage pregnancy is considered as a global issue. A large proportion of teenage mothers give up on themselves and struggle with negative emotions resulting from societal stigma, rejection and isolation from friends and families, which can lead to poor self-concept. Methodology: The study was anchored on person centered theory of Carl Rogers and Bandura`s social cognitive theory. Mixed method sequential explanatory design was adopted for the study. The target population was 150 teenage mothers. Quantitative data was collected from participants using self-concept and social skills questionnaires. An interview guide was used to collect data from one social worker and one school administration for the qualitative study. The data were analyzed utilizing narratives and correlations. We used SPSS version 21 to examine the first round of quantitative data. After analyzing the quantitative data, individuals with mean scores between 1.0 and 2.5 were chosen for the qualitative investigation. Main Finding: The study found out that social skills training has improved self-concept of teenage mothers in Kibera. The qualitative study revealed that teenage mothers go through psychological and emotional challenges in the hands of their parents. The study generally concludes that self-concept of teenage mothers is being affected by lack of psychological support, forgiveness and acceptance from the family. Intervention suggested included being emotionally present, psychological support, and love by parents to teenage mothers.

It is critical for social workers to focus on policy development in low-income households, particularly in the area of education, in order to prevent adolescent pregnancy. Novelty/Originality of this study: Based on the findings, this study proposes a novel approach to dealing with teen pregnancy and offering psychological support. In addition, the parents provide social support and love.

Ledges in grain boundaries can be identified by their characteristic contrast features (straight, black-white lines) distinct from those of lattice dislocations, for example1,2 [see Fig. 1(a) and (b)]. Simple contrast rules as pointed out by Murr and Venkatesh2, can be established so that ledges may be recognized with come confidence, and the number of ledges per unit length of grain boundary (referred to as the ledge density, m) measured by direct observations in the transmission electron microscope. Such measurements can then give rise to quantitative data which can be used to provide evidence for the influence of ledges on the physical and mechanical properties of materials.It has been shown that ledge density can be systematically altered in some metals by thermo-mechanical treatment3,4.
