The Role of the Family
Paloma Tejero, Hernán Pinto in Aesthetic Treatments for the Oncology Patient, 2020
To determine the family functioning, there are different questionnaires: APGAR Familiar [1] is an easy-to-use questionnaire, which explores family functioning from the patient's perspective. It consists of five questions with three answer options; the higher the score, the better is the family functioning.Family Relationship Index (FRI) [2] is a self-filled questionnaire that measures interpersonal relationships between family members. It consists of 12 items with two yes or no answer options in three subscales (cohesion, conflicts, and expressiveness). Cohesion is understood as the degree to which the members are united and help each other; conflicts refer to the way in which conflicts in the family are freely expressed; and expressiveness refers to the way they share their feelings.Self-report Family Inventory (SFI) [3] is a self-filled questionnaire with 36 items that values the competence and style of the family. It has five subscales: health-competition, conflict, cohesion, leadership, and emotional expressiveness.

Particle-particle attraction can be broadly classified as either adhesion or cohesion (10). Adhesion usually refers to the attraction of particles of two different chemical composition, while cohesion refers to the attraction of two particles of the same chemical nature. Although these forces are much weaker than covalent bonding, their range extends over greater distances, and thus they are called long-range forces (10). These interparticle interactions are the result of multiple concurrently acting forces, which include molecular interactions, electrostatic interactions, capillary forces, and mechanical interlocking (6,10–12). Uncharged particles can interact with each other through molecular interactions. Even overall neutral particles can possess temporary local concentrations of charge due to instantaneous different electronic configurations. This leads to the formation of permanent or transient dipoles, which can induce complementary dipoles in neighboring particles. Consequently, polarizable neutral charge molecules can attract each other through molecular interactions called London–van der Waals dispersion forces that exerts an influence over a range of approximately 10 nm, rapidly decreasing with increasing distance between the two particles (6,10). In a normal environment with low relative humidity, van der Waals forces are the main contributor to the cohesive/adhesive forces between two particles.
Children's mental health and wellbeing
Jackie Musgrave in Health and Wellbeing for Babies and Children, 2022
Social cohesion is cited as an important ingredient which makes an important contribution to humans’ wellbeing. Social cohesion is linked to social development, meaning that the concept of being a socially cohesive group is based on the ability to develop and maintain positive relationships. Social cohesion can be described as the relationships that are present in a community, but each individual has a responsibility to act in a way that brings people together, the cohesion is like invisible glue that binds people together and in turn, this creates social cohesion. A utopian view of a socially cohesive community is one where children are able to grow and develop in an environment that supports their holistic development. This means having caring adults within and from outside the family who has children's best interests at heart. The environment within which the child lives enables their development, meaning that there are suitable indoor and outdoor areas for them to explore and enjoy, as well as high-quality health and education services available for children and families. Socially cohesive communities are safer societies, with adults aware of their responsibilities to keep children safe from harm. The society within which the child lives is structured in a way that is welcoming and nurturing for children and conveys to all members of the community that each adult and child belongs to that society.

Two emergent states are included in the model (yet others may exist): cohesion and conflict. Cohesion has been defined as “a dynamic process that is reflected in the tendency of a group to stick together and remain united in pursuit of its instrumental objectives and/or for the satisfaction of member affective needs” (Carron, Brawley, & Widmeyer, 1998, p. 213). Cohesion is manifested in social (i.e., attraction to group/integration in group for interpersonal and affective activities and behaviors) and task (i.e., attraction to group/integration in group for instrumental objectives and behaviors) components. In the organizational literature, Tjosvold, Johnson, and Johnson (2003) suggested that the quality of the relationship between competitors in interdependent settings plays a central role in the constructiveness of competition. Accordingly, cohesion is an integral team process that may be associated with positional competition in sport (Harenberg et al., 2016a). As such, cohesion is integrated as an emergent state influencing the processes of positional competition.

Cohesion is defined as the number of reciprocal connections in the network divided by the maximum number of possible connections. In this context, cohesion gives an indication of which players coordinated their passes, or communication with each other. Using passing as an example, a reciprocal pass occurs when player A passes to player B who then passes back to player A (Mclean et al. 2018; McLean et al. 2017a).
Concentric Group Therapy for Aggression: A Historical Perspective

One conundrum in empirical studies is differentiating cohesion to other group members or to the therapist from cohesion to the group as a whole. In spite of the difficulty of empirically differentiating individual and group bonds, the general concept of cohesion as a bond has gained strength in the literature.
