social learning and knowledge generation are two key factors to achieve successful natural resources co-management. social learning can be beneficial by broadcasting and transmitting experiences and problem solving ideas in a group of people. social learning networks can transmit knowledge and experiences from one node to another in the network. social learning can produce a suitable learning a...

Social network is a group of individuals with diverse social interactions amongst them. The network is of large scale and distributed due to involvement of more people from different parts of the globe. Quantitative analysis of networks is need of the hour due to its’ rippling influence on the network dynamics and in turn the society. Clustering helps us to group people with similar characteris...

The purpose of this paper is the study of Cayley graph associated to a semihypergroup(or hypergroup). In this regards first  we associate a Cayley graph to every semihypergroup and then we study theproperties of this graph, such as  Hamiltonian cycles in this  graph.  Also, by some of examples we will illustrate  the properties and behavior of  these Cayley  graphs, in particulars we show that ...

Social network analysis has attracted much attention in recent years. Community mining is one of the major directions in social network analysis. Most of the existing methods on community mining assume that there is only one kind of relation in the network, and moreover, the mining results are independent of the users’ needs or preferences. However, in reality, there exist multiple, heterogeneo...

The ability to perceive others' actions and goals from human motion (i.e., biological motion perception) is a critical component of social perception and may be linked to the development of real-world social relationships. Adult research demonstrates two key nodes of the brain's biological motion perception system-amygdala and posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS)-are linked to variability ...

Abstract:This study aims at measuring the relationship between students‟ attitude toward govern-ment‟s virtual social network policy making with social security feeling, in another word, to which extent social security feeling emphasizing on social networks is determined via users‟ attitude toward government‟s media policy making? Analytical-descriptive method including survey is used in ...

BACKGROUND To investigate the relation between social networks and mental health in the post-conflict municipality of Mitrovica, Kosovo. METHODS Using a three-stage stratified sampling method, 1239 respondents aged 16 years or above were recruited in the Greater Mitrovica region. Social network depth was measured by the frequency of contacts with friends, relatives and strangers. Depression a...

Abstract. Spectral partitioning is a well known method in the area of graph and matrix analysis. Several approaches based on spectral partitioning and spectral clustering were used to detect structures in real world networks and databases. In this paper, we explore two community detection approaches based on the spectral partitioning to analyze a coauthorship network. The partitioning exploits ...
