   Författare :Ilmari Käihkö; Mats Utas; Koen Vlassenroot; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Coercion; cohesion; compensation; ethnography; identity; ideology; Liberia; micro-dynamics of civil war; military sociology; strategy; Peace and Conflict Research; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Statskunskap; Political Science; Krigsvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : All organizations involved in war are concerned with military cohesion. Yet previous studies have only investigated cohesion in a very narrow manner, focusing almost solely on Western state militaries or on micro-level explanations. This dissertation argues for the need to broaden this perspective. LÄS MER

   Författare :Palle Leth; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; anaphora; coherence; cohesion; context sensitivity; contextualism; discourse relations; discourse structure; paraphrase; predicate reference; presupposition; rhetorical adjustment; rhetorical relations; semantics–pragmatics interface; text structure; transcendental; translation; word meaning;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is dedicated to two distinct but convergent issues: the possibility of paraphrase and an account of context sensitivity on the basis of textual cohesion (or coherence). The possibility of explaining contextual specifications of meaning as a side effect of establishing textual cohesion is explored through an investigation into the nature of texts. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

7. 5. Sliding stability re-assessment of concrete dams with bonded concrete-rock interfaces

   Författare :Alexandra Krounis; Stefan Larsson; Fredrik Johansson; Ignacio Escuder Bueno; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete dams; sliding stability; cohesion; shear strength; uncertainty; bond; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The shear strength of the concrete-rock interface is an important parameter in sliding stability analyses of concrete dams founded on rock and depends, in addition to the normal stress state, on the bonding conditions of the interface; concrete-rock interfaces can be either unbonded, partially bonded or fully bonded.In the Swedish guidelines for dam safety all dam-foundation contacts are treated as unbonded.
