Water is a basic condition for existence of life on earth. Scarcity fresh water one the major sources conflict all over world because rise in global demands. In South Asia by dint its diversified topography, rivers are not restricted to particular country but flow across countries transcending national boundaries, hence creating problem sharing and became root cause social, economic political c...

From an anthropological perspective, water is not only the sine qua non of life in general, it is also seen to configure societies in particular ways, and to generate particular values. This will be substantiated in four moves. First, the hydrological cycle and other elementals of water will be discussed. Second, we shall zoom in on rivers, transforming natural resources and social communities ...

A refined hydrochemical model for single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is presented. The processes of water vapor evaporation and condensation, mass diffusion, and chemical reactions are taken into account. Numerical simulations of Xe-, Ar- and He-filled bubbles are carried out. The results show that the trapped water vapor in conjunction with its endothermic chemical reactions significantly r...

in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...

Though still existent traditional state propaganda as characteristic during the World Wars (see Lasswell, 1927; Knightly, 1975; and chapters 2 and 4 of this volume) has been partly delegated to professional PR agencies in recent conflicts (Kunczik, 1990). During both the Gulf War (MacAlthur, 1992) and the Bosnia conflict (Beham. 1996), the role of PR agencies became so massive, and filters used...
