This study aims to examine the relationship between social skills, group cohesiveness, and adjustment among santri at Burhanul Hidayah. The used a quantitative correlational design. data were collected using skill scale with reliability value of 0.824, cohesiveness 0.900, 0.850. Based on results multiple regression analysis conducted 203 subjects, there is significance 0.000 < 0.05, indicati...

It is characteristic of a continuum that it be “all of one piece”, in the sense of being inseparable into two (or more) disjoint nonempty parts. By taking “part” to mean open (or closed) subset of the space, one obtains the usual topological concept of connectedness. Thus a space S is defined to be connected if it cannot be partitioned into two disjoint nonempty open (or closed) subsets – or eq...

This paper proposes an empirical approach to the development of a computational model for assessing texts according to cohesiveness. We argue that the NLG technologies for the generation of structural paraphrases can be used to efficiently create what we call a cohesion-variant parallel corpus, which would serve as a good resource for empirical acquisition of cohesiveness criteria. We also pres...

Using the agent based simulation model Sociodynamica, I explore the effect of various intensities of feelings of shame in cementing social bonds that affect the aggregate health (average longevity of agents) and wealth (GDP) of two artificial societies: A primitive society with no division of labor, and a monetized society with division of labor for three different tasks. The results show that ...

Increasingly organizations are concerned with sustainable healthy work forces but they often lack a coherent mechanism for do...
