Social tagging networks have become highly popular for publishing and searching contents. Users in such networks can review, rate and comment on contents, or annotate them with keywords (social tags) to give short but exact text representations of even non-textual contents. In addition, there is an inherent support for interactions and relationships among users. Thus, users naturally form group...

Social networks, which emerged due to the rapid development of modern telecommunications and information technologies that led to the emergence of the Internet, can be viewed as a phenomenon of the information society. In a short time, there has been both quantitative and qualitative growth of social networks, which have become a common phenomenon in our life and the dominant way of communicati...

AIMS This study aimed to analyze the scientific literature about social networks and social support in eating disorders (ED). METHODS By combining keywords, an integrative review was performed. It included publications from 2006-2013, retrieved from the MEDLINE, LILACS, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases. The selection of articles was based on preestablished inclusion and exclusion criteria. RE...

In this thesis we provide a framework for a micro-blogging social network in an unstructured peer-topeer network. At a user level, a micro-blogging service provides (i) a means for publishing a microblog, (ii) a means to follow a micro-blogger, and (iii) a means to search for micro-blogs containing keywords. Since unstructured peer-to-peer networks do not bind either the data or the location of...

As mobile devices have become more ubiquitous, mobile users increasingly expect to utilize proximity-based connectivity, e.g., Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to opportunistically share multimedia content based on their personal preferences. Many practical problems on Mobile networks, such as routing strategies in MANETs, sensor reprogramming in WSNs and worm containment in online social networks (OSNs) s...

Social networks play an important role in the lives of children and young people. Along with the high penetration of mobile technologies such as smartphones and tablets among the younger generation, there is an increasing use of social networks already in elementary school. The paper presents the results of research, which was realized at schools in the Hradec Králové region. In this research, ...

background and purpose: undoubtedly, social networks are being used extensively and are the most important communicative tool among students, especially at higher levels of education. we aimed to investigate the effect of social networks on education and academic learning. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted on 32 nursing students who were taking the cancer nursing course at ke...

Background: As social networks are increasingly used, the research published through social networks should be evaluated. Hence, new measures were employed to examine the scientific effectiveness of social networks. The measurements taken from social networks, called Altmetrics, provide an opportunity to evaluate research. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the presence of indexed artic...

Adaptive networks are a novel class of dynamical networks whose topologies and states coevolve over similar time scales. Many real-world complex systems (physical, biological and social ones) can be modeled as adaptive networks. In this short paper, we introduce fundamental concepts and unique properties of adaptive networks through a brief, noncomprehensive review of recent literature. We also...
