The Actor-Network Theory In The Film A Crude Awakening
The Actor–Network Theory, also known as ANT, explores the way sociotechnological elements are assembled as well as how large–scale social
structures work through various networks of stabilized materials. It considers both human and non–human actors, networks, and actor–networks. An
actor is considered anything with the ability to act. This includes human and non–human entities. The network is what ties together people and objects,
making the groups interconnected. The Actor–Network Theory looks at how the actors are connected, the links that connect them. It looks are ways in
which various technologies and artifacts help to shape the patterns of society (Larose, 2017).
To analyze the documentary A Crude Awakening we must first identify the actors participating in the network. The documentary talks about society's
dependence on oil and how essential it is to the world today. The people seem to understand that there are flaws in the use of oil and that it harms the
environment however that doesn't stop people from using it. The documentary talks about oil being "God," an essential item to keep society running.
People forget that oil will run out, they forget that there isn't an unlimited supply. It's a precious resource that will run out sooner than people expect.

For instance, there is a trending topic in the media. Twitter is known for mentions to be a popular thing. Everyone would push towards the social
media to view several conversations with respect of a mention. McTemore 's metaphor of a living web is an accurate description of the current
social network, which dramatically expands our ability to connect with one another. For example, some 6,000 'Ш› tweets are tweeted on Twitter
every second, which corresponds to 500 million tweets per day. This number increased from 5,000 tweets per day in 2007, to 2.5 million in 2009, and
340 million in 2012. Online technology has opened a new world of revolutionized connectivity. (Lee, l. (2015).
Graph Theory
In Mathematically terms, while using a graph theory it is represented as a network. A graph consists of two sets the nodes and the links which could
be described as (edges, sets). It's held as a maximum N (N –1)/2 and will eventually be connected based on the pair of elements. To show a valid
connection with a graph using nodes and links, the person will connect draw a dot that represent the nodes and connect it with a link (known as the
edge) to be created. The higher the value the stronger the connection will be in the graph.

What’s Wrong with Social Networking by Juno Parrenos
Social Network Sites Many people have different opinions about social network sites. Some think that social networking is fun and a great way

Brand Loyalty Case Study
4. Brand Loyalty: Aaker (1996) defined brand loyalty as the attachment of a customer to a brand. According to the attitudinal perspective, brand loyalty
is defined as a deeply held commitment to re–buy a preferred product or service consistently in the future despite situational influences and marketing
efforts having potential to cause switching behavior (Oliver, 1997).From the behavioral perspective Odin, Odin and Valette
–Florence (2001) suggested
that the customer who buys the brand systematically is considered loyal to this brand. Authors may differ in defining the brand loyalty but they all
agree on the importance of focusing on loyal customers and trying to increase their number and their loyalty. Managers know that loyal customers do
buy more with willingness to spend more, are easier to reach and act as an advocate for the brands' firms (Chaudhuri and Holbrook, 2001; Odin, et al.,

My interest in this paper is to consider a complex network prospective; the application of Competition Law, and more specifically related to its effects
on monopolistic competition, and its effects on the local market and South African economy as a whole.
South Africa (SA) was distant from many other major markets and production centers. This made it complex for international trade to compensate for
these conditions, even though trade has expanded since 1994, mainly with the European (EU) and the United States (US). Tariff levels have declined
on average, but anti–dumping duties protect key industries such as steel, where the state has long had an interest and an exclusive export agent can
prevent arbitrage between export and local markets. SA's history of import substitution and the attendant habits of business practice and government
policy favored local insiders thus challenging other market entrants. This encouraged the new SA government to review the SAcompetition law regime
in the White Paper on Reconstruction and Development in 1994. The need for a new competition policy in SA was because of excessive economic
concentration and ownership, collusive practices by enterprises and the abuse of economic power by firms in dominant positions. A need for further
transition emanated from the effects of globalization and trade liberalization and the need to redress past inequality and non–participation in the national
economy. Thus fundamental principle of competition policy

Network is dynamic in nature. New links comes into picture and new relations are formed in later times. Based on the approach we assign the weight
to each link from the starting node and ending node. Score (A, B) between the node A and B. The ranks between the pairs (A, B) and (X, Y) is the
shortest path in G. One most used measure is the common neighbors. The more and more number of surrounding neighbors similar between A and B

How Forests Think: Towards An Anthropology Beyond the Human by Eduardo Kohn and Pandora's Hope: Essays on the Reality of Science Studies
by Bruno Latour have an interesting dichotomy between what is considered alive (referred to by Kohn as a "self" and an "actant" for Latour), and
what is not. It is important to note that Latour did not specifically refer to actants as being alive but they have agency, and this term is used in a
similar manner to Kohn's concept of selves. Through this essay, I will review both books and each author's understanding of the concept of life. For

The Milroys then analysed phonological variables (in this case /a/ and /Й›/) in relation to the network structures and the individual speaker's degree of
integration into a network.
Firstly, they found that in Ballymacarrett, the innovative backing of /a/ is associated with men and the Belfast vernacular, while the traditional front /a
/ functions as a network marker for women. In contrast, the innovative raised variants of /Й›/ are associated with women and more prestigious
outer–city speech, while the traditional low /Й›/ functions as a network marker for men. Furthermore, although the /a/ backing innovation is generally
led by East Belfast males, the backing of /a/ among the young Clonard women is unusually high. The Milroys concluded that while working in a city
centre shop, the Clonard women have weak–tie encounters with customers who use the back /a/ innovation, and they then subsequently adopt this
innovation in their own speech. For the Milroys, this supports the idea that linguistic innovations are diffused via weak–tie connections, where the true
innovators are connected to the early adopters via weak–tie connections.

Models For Diffusion Of Innovations Among Potential Adopters
Models for diffusion of innovations among potential adopters have been recently used to study the life cycle of new products and to forecast
first–purchase sales. Those models are useful for managers as decision aids to create and perform strategies to maintain the profitability of new
products across their life cycle. Bass (1969) pioneered this area of research with a model for diffusions of new products under peer pressure via
word–of–mouth. This model distinguished two parameters: innovation and imitation. Later, Chatterjee and Eliashberg (1990) provided a
microeconomic version of Bass's model that included interactions among potential adopters and the formation of beliefs.
In Chatterjee and Eliashberg's model, potential adopters were risk averse and used the price and their perceptions about the innovation's performance as
inputs for utility functions. Thus, with Bayesian methods, potential adopters updated parameters with information from past adopters. Our model also
focuses on informational influence on adoption of new products. However, we modified Chatterjee and Eliashberg's model of beliefs formation and
individual choice by taking into account the possibility that influences take place only among consumers who are connected in a social network.

Among the components of technological systems are physical artifacts, such as biological weapon agents, aerosols, milling machines, microscopes.
Technological systems also include organizations such as terrorist groups, governments and manufacturing laboratories. Legislative artifacts such as
treaties and protocols can also be part of technological systems. Overtime, technological systems tend to join environmental factors into the system–
eliminating uncertainty ("free market"). They are goal oriented: reordering of the material world to make it more productive. As technological systems
develop after a long period acquire momentum which makes the system have more influence on society– it will begin to shape society.
The reason technological systems concept will be unable to explain biological warfare is because Hughes assumed that the society can resist the
momentum of a technology if they act earlier. In the production and use of biological weapons, the majority of the public are outsiders therefore, even
if the "society" is aware of biological weapon technology in its early stage, their voice would not have any influence on the technology compared to the

Abstract– A social network is a set of people (or organizations or other social entities) connected by a set of social relationships such as friendship,
co–working or information exchange. Social networks are connected through various social familiarities ranging from casual acquaintance to close
familiar bonds. Social network analysis provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of relationships. Social network analysis (SNA) is a
quantitative analysis of relationships between individuals or organizations. By quantifying such social structures it is possible to identify most

Size of the Network[21]
The size of a network can be determined in terms of the number of nodes of the network alternatively, as the number of edges in the network.
2. Density of a Network[21]
The density of a network is the number of ties in the network expressed as a proportion of the number of all possible ties, i.e. the number of actual ties
in the network divided by the number of all the ties that could be present. The density of a network may give insights into phenomena such as the speed
at which information diffuses among the nodes. It is also sometimes used as a measure of connectivity of the network.

A path between two nodes is denoted as d (u, v) is a sequence of node pairs that connect these two nodes. A special characteristic of a path is that
all nodes and all connections on a path are distinct. If nodes are not distinct, the sequence is called trail; and if either nodes or connections are
distinct within the sequence, it is called a walk. The length of a path is the number of connections in the sequence. A path is an important property of
a node pair because it defines if two nodes are reachable or not and at what distance. If a path between two nodes exists, than they are reachable and
vice versa. The path property is important for the calculation of various SNA measures including geodesic distance, diameter or centrality

Spectral Properties Of Social Networks

The exttt{spectrum} of a graph is the set of its eigenvalues of the exttt{adjacency matrix}. The eigenvalue spectrum of complex networks provides
information about their structural properties. There has been much research work on spectral properties of uncorrelated random graphs, however,
there is less information on the spectral properties of social networks or sparse complex networks. We, therefore, want to address this research gap by

In order to quantify the effect of the random and targeted removal of nodes on these networks, we study, in each of the networks, what fraction of
nodes are remaining after the random or targeted removal of a particular node together with all its out–going links. This process may break an initially
connected core into various disconnected components. Therefore, the simplest quantitative measure of damage on the network is given by the relative
size of the Largest Connected Component (LCC) of the remaining network. Figure~ ef{fig:LCC_attack} shows the topological resilience of Facebook

In our case, Microsoft developed a new operating system "Windows Vista" as the solution for the problems ofWindows XP rather than developing
patches and upgraded versions to provide solution. This has resulted in failure to recognize the actual problem which should occur during the

When Windows XP was released in 2001, there were about 600 million computers used worldwide. Approximately 90% of them were running
Windows but it was split between two code bases: Windows 95/98 (65%) and Windows NT/2000 (26%), according to IDC. One of the challenging
task of Windows XP was to unite the Windows 9x and Windows NT code bases, and it eventually accomplished that.
However in 2008, there were over 1.1 billion PCs in use worldwide and of which 70% (800 million PCs approximately) were running Windows XP
which makes it the most widely installed operating system of all time. That's a lot of inertia to overcome, especially for IT departments that have

Social–graph based techniques represent the graph as textbf{G=(V,E)} where G represents the graph, V represents the nodes in the graph and E
represents the edges of the graph.cite{gen5graph} The social– graph based mechanisms first divides the node set V into two disjoint sets– one which
are real users and the second set which consists of likely Sybil users. The Sybil set consists of all the Sybil nodes and the edges between them and the
non–Sybil region consists of the non–Sybil nodes and all the connections between the real nodes. It is assumed that the non–Sybil region of the network
is tightly connected and has dense connections among its nodes as they trust each other. Hence the time taken to form connections between nodes, also
called the mixing time of the region, is very small when compared with time taken to mix with the Sybil region.cite{gen5graph} For example, the
probability that a real user accepts a friend request from another real user in Facebook is much higher than the probability of the request being accepted
from an unknown or fake user. Thus Sybil accounts find it difficult to build connections with the real user. This results in limited number of edges
between the nodes in non–Sybil and the Sybil region. These edges are also called attack edges.

Examples Of Actor Network Theory
The Actor Network Theory (ANT) is a social theory which treats objects as part of the overall social network. This approach places emphasis on the
capacity of nonhuman objects to interact and even participate in various social networks and systems. The following information will explain Actor
Network Theory, provide examples of how it is believed to work, and explore the relationship this theory has in regards to power and politics.
The Actor Network Theory Explained
This theory was developed by scholars Bruno Latour and Michel Callon. Sociologist John Law also contributed to the theory. Humans and nonhumans
are obviously not the same, but they can be studied and observed in similar ways and can both be seen as "actors" influencing their environment.
Anything that makes a difference in the overall scheme of things can be considered an actor, or an actant. Even though it is technically called a theory,
ANT usually doesn't explain how or even why a network emerges into the form that it does. Instead, ANT explores the intricate ties in a network. In
many ways it is more of a method than a theory. It describes how activities and habits can sustain themselves while interacting with one another and
working toward a common goal. Although ANT is usually associated with science and technology, it has expanded into the field ofsociology as ... Show

Social Link Disclosure–based Attack: Links refer to the connections between vertices in a network. In the context of online social networks, links are
the connections between users of the network. But not all information related to these connections are suitable to be disclosed to the public.
Goal of the Attack: Social link disclosure–based attacks aim at disclosing such sensitive information related to the links of the social network, and
thereby discover the link structure of the network. Although online social networks are a new domain with a not–so–large research information base ,
knowledge regarding the structure of the network enables the attacker to analyze the network using the powerful graph mining algorithms that have
existed for centuries and have an extremely rich research information base.

Abstract:
According to Wikipedia Social Media Mining is the process of representing, analyzing and extracting actionable patterns from social media data. The
extensive use of Social media like Facebook, twitter, Google plus, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter have been generating massive amounts of social
media and big user–generated data. The world's social networks contains enormous customer details that helps in understanding human behavior and
conduct research on social science. In order to successfully mine the social data, Social Network Analysis is the most important task. A number of
visualization tools are available to analyze these social networks. Even, many corporations has their goal set to tap into social media data in order to
develop their business. Through social media, it is easy to find a lot of information about a celebrity and her whereabouts but finding the real–time
information like energy consumption is very difficult. Also, social media mining faces a dilemma to find out the useful information as it lacks data
or have little or thin data about those we are interested in knowing more about. In this paper, we are going to discuss more on how social media is
mined, how analysis is performed on social networks and ways to overcome hurdles with Social Media Mining.

A) Vertex and edge scoring
The place of a given actor in the network can be described using measures based on vertex scoring. Common types of vertex scoring are the centrality
measures. Within graph theory and network analysis, there are various measures of the centrality of a vertex to determine the relative importance of
this vertex within the graph
Degree centrality
Closeness centrality
Between's centrality
Vertices that occur on many shortest paths between other vertices have higher between's than those that do not.
PageRank: The score computed by Page Rank is higher for nodes that are highly connected and connected with nodes that are highly connected
themselves.
HITS algorithm: Hyperlink–Induced Topic Search (HITS, also known as hubs and authorities) calculates two scores: hub and authority score. The more
a vertex has outgoing arcs, the higher is its hub score. The more a vertex has incoming links, the higher is its authority score.

network analysis, and state that "social networks affect perceptions, beliefs, and actions through a variety of structural mechanisms that are socially

higher susceptibility to influencing or being influenced by others." Importantly, they also remind us "that networks are not static structures, but are

Structural Vulnerabilities And Link Privacy
Structural vulnerabilities and Link Privacy in Social Networks
Introduction/Background:
In social networks, a link represents a relationship between two nodes in the network. These links can represent email conversations, web surfing,
co–purchases of two or more products (e.g. Amazon), friendships (e.g. Facebook), followers (e.g. Twitter), etc. Often times these relationships are
sensitive and/or confidential in nature [ying–wu] and the users are operating under the assumption that their private relationships will not be disclosed.

Neighborhood Randomization Using Sub–Graph Perturbation
In order for people to mine valuable data from social network graphs they must first be given information about the network. Even without explicit
information about the nodes, an attacker may use structural information about the nodes and graph itself (e.g. node degree) to identify who the
individuals are that the nodes represent. Simple graph–wise randomization addresses this problem by deleting k randomly chosen edges and replacing
them with k randomly chosen edges, however a problem arises since data–miners depend on these structural attributes to properly analyze the social
network. Fard and Wang [fard–wang] propose a structure–aware algorithm for the randomization of social network edges as well as a formal definition
of "link privacy" with respect to a probabilistic threshold. Their motivation is to help conceal sensitive links by using randomization techniques, without
disturbing the actual structure of the graph, which is achieved through local neighborhood perturbation. This is needed so that graphs can be analyzed
without the link structure being left entirely vulnerable to attackers. The goal of their algorithm is to make it so that an adversary cannot know if a
link in the original graph exists from having a link in the new graph.

Professional development providers are agencies that offer professional learning opportunities to teachers on a variety of topics. They often play a key
role in reform efforts in education by introducing teachers to new policy demands and teaching new pedagogical strategies (Knapp, 2003; Little, 1993).
A wide range of organizations provide PD services, from districts to nonprofits, commercial firms, and universities (Coburn, 2005b; Coburn, Buchanan,
& Morel, 2015; Little, 1989). Much of the research on professional development focuses on determining the features that make professional
development effective–that is, which features of PD engender changes in practices in the classroom and the impact student outcomes (Knapp, 2003).

By providing learning opportunities for educators, PD providers introduce new policies to teachers and provide strategies for implementing changes
(Knapp 2003; Little, 1993). Since they interface with teachers, they have the ability to shape and interpret ideas about a policy. Coburn (2005b; 2006),
for example, has shown that professional development providers actively filter, frame, and interpret the meaning of reforms as they present them to
teachers. The nature of the framing impacts how teachers understand and implement the demands of new policies. Outside of this research, little
attention has been paid to PD providers as a group of actors operating in the educational environment. Consequently, we know little about the inner
workings of the professional development sector. There is little empirical evidence about the actors and organizations involved in providing PD
(Coburn et al., 2015 is an exception) or the ideas they are promoting. Furthermore, we know almost nothing about the nature of social relationships
among professional development providers and how they interact to share and promote ideas. While we know that ideas matter in the implementation
process and that PD providers have the potential to shape the ideas teachers encounter, there are no studies to date that explore how PD providers

Closeness centrality of a node is the reciprocal of the sum of its distances to all other nodes. c.CLUSTERING COEFFICIENT The degree to which
nodes in a graph tend to cluster together in tightly–knit groups is given by the clustering coefficient. d.AVERAGE PATH LENGTH It is defined as the
average number of steps along the shortest paths for all possible pairs of network nodes. It is a measure of the efficiency of information transfer on
a network. Most real networks have a very short average path length leading to the concept of a small world where each one is connected to the
other through a short path. e.DEGREE DISTRIBUTION The degree distribution of a network P(k) is defined to be the fraction of nodes in the
network with degree k. Degree distribution depicts the difference in the degree of connectivity between all the nodes in a network. It gives the
probability distribution of the node degrees over the network. IV.EXPERIMENTAL SETUP In order to generate the random graph models, the

What Does Good / Bad Communication Look Like A Network?
What Does Good / Bad Communication Look Like In A Network? There are, or have been, a number of scholars who have deployed SNA for
researches in the communication domain. Their works may be summarized in Table 3. And, as will be reviewed briefly below, several existing studies
have demonstrated that SNA metrics and sociogram characteristics could serve as leading indicators of the quality of communication. Loosemore
(1998) conducted a case study of a construction crisis to challenge the view that quantitative methods cannot be used to understand the social nature of
construction research. This research found that the quality of communication could be indicated by the advantages and damaging effects of factions.
During phase 1 of the crisis management process, there was one faction which consists of the architect, engineer, contractor – quantity surveyor and
contractor – site manager. It indicates that there was good communication across the consultant/ contractor division. In comparison, during phase 3 of
the reaction process, the communication was not positive. The dangers of factions could give some indication of the negative communication.
Specifically, the site manager and engineer still formed the strongest faction, revealing a lack of focus among other actors. Additionally, a relatively

  • 2. The Actor-Network Theory In The Film A Crude Awakening The Actor–Network Theory, also known as ANT, explores the way sociotechnological elements are assembled as well as how large–scale social structures work through various networks of stabilized materials. It considers both human and non–human actors, networks, and actor–networks. An actor is considered anything with the ability to act. This includes human and non–human entities. The network is what ties together people and objects, making the groups interconnected. The Actor–Network Theory looks at how the actors are connected, the links that connect them. It looks are ways in which various technologies and artifacts help to shape the patterns of society (Larose, 2017). To analyze the documentary A Crude Awakening we must first identify the actors participating in the network. The documentary talks about society's dependence on oil and how essential it is to the world today. The people seem to understand that there are flaws in the use of oil and that it harms the environment however that doesn't stop people from using it. The documentary talks about oil being "God," an essential item to keep society running. People forget that oil will run out, they forget that there isn't an unlimited supply. It's a precious resource that will run out sooner than people expect. Peak oil ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The documentary aimed to show people just how limited the supply of oil is and how the network could eventually totally collapse when we run out. Crude oil is a cheap yet scarce resource that society relies heavily on. The world has consumed well over half of the conventional oil resources, and from now on more and more energy is required to extract a declining supply of a lower quality oil. The public as well as mainstream media completely misunderstand the concept of peak oil. Most people don't understand that running out of oil means a change to everybody's life.

The different nodes in the network represent the different people and groups while the links represents the relationships between the nodes. When you relate your life to world networks and connections; you think about friendships that are established via internet, acquaintances, job interviews and money.

Twitter is known for mentions to be a popular thing. Everyone would push towards the social media to view several conversations with respect of a mention. McTemore 's metaphor of a living web is an accurate description of the current social network, which dramatically expands our ability to connect with one another. For example, some 6,000 'Ш› tweets are tweeted on Twitter every second, which corresponds to 500 million tweets per day. This number increased from 5,000 tweets per day in 2007, to 2.5 million in 2009, and 340 million in 2012. Online technology has opened a new world of revolutionized connectivity. (Lee, l. (2015). Graph Theory In Mathematically terms, while using a graph theory it is represented as a network. A graph consists of two sets the nodes and the links which could be described as (edges, sets). It's held as a maximum N (N –1)/2 and will eventually be connected based on the pair of elements. To show a valid connection with a graph using nodes and links, the person will connect draw a dot that represent the nodes and connect it with a link (known as the edge) to be created.

Social network sites can negatively impact lives because it can be the cause of missing important life moments, the reason of students getting bad grades, and be very extremely dangerous for anyone. Sites on the Web can be Distracting Although sites are interesting, they can keep you away from being social. In the article, "What's Wrong with Social Networking", the author, Juno Parrenas, claims, "In the age of smart phone, we all find ourselves at the dinner tables with at least on anti–social person peering at their phone mid–conversation or grabbing their phones to take Instagram snapshots of every course of the meal"(1). It is very disturbing to know that some human beings do not take the time the time to sit and instead, get on their phone. Plenty of people miss valuable time that actually matters because of the distracting, network sites. Maureen Henderson, the author of the article "3 Reasons You Should Quit Social Media", says, "189 million of Facebook users are 'mobile only', which means that people are constantly on their phone"(1).

  • 6. Brand Loyalty Case Study 4. Brand Loyalty: Aaker (1996) defined brand loyalty as the attachment of a customer to a brand. According to the attitudinal perspective, brand loyalty is defined as a deeply held commitment to re–buy a preferred product or service consistently in the future despite situational influences and marketing efforts having potential to cause switching behavior (Oliver, 1997).From the behavioral perspective Odin, Odin and Valette –Florence (2001) suggested that the customer who buys the brand systematically is considered loyal to this brand. Authors may differ in defining the brand loyalty but they all agree on the importance of focusing on loyal customers and trying to increase their number and their loyalty. Managers know that loyal customers do buy more with willingness to spend more, are easier to reach and act as an advocate for the brands' firms (Chaudhuri and Holbrook, 2001; Odin, et al., 2001; Oliver, 1997).

  • 7. The Role Of Competition Law And Its Effects On The Local... My interest in this paper is to consider a complex network prospective; the application of Competition Law, and more specifically related to its effects on monopolistic competition, and its effects on the local market and South African economy as a whole. South Africa (SA) was distant from many other major markets and production centers. This made it complex for international trade to compensate for these conditions, even though trade has expanded since 1994, mainly with the European (EU) and the United States (US). Tariff levels have declined on average, but anti–dumping duties protect key industries such as steel, where the state has long had an interest and an exclusive export agent can prevent arbitrage between export and local markets. SA's history of import substitution and the attendant habits of business practice and government policy favored local insiders thus challenging other market entrants. This encouraged the new SA government to review the SAcompetition law regime in the White Paper on Reconstruction and Development in 1994. The need for a new competition policy in SA was because of excessive economic concentration and ownership, collusive practices by enterprises and the abuse of economic power by firms in dominant positions. A need for further transition emanated from the effects of globalization and trade liberalization and the need to redress past inequality and non–participation in the national economy.

Based on the approach we assign the weight to each link from the starting node and ending node. Score (A, B) between the node A and B. The ranks between the pairs (A, B) and (X, Y) is the shortest path in G. One most used measure is the common neighbors. The more and more number of surrounding neighbors similar between A and B would determine that would be possible of forming link in future. Fuzzy k closest friend with a number depth. Here for ...

The teenager is often delivered to itself on social medias. And he often does not understand the impact of the digital. Indeed, the young user is in an intimate environment; he uses this networks in his residence or in transport. He feels comfortable and it is this precisely supposed confidence which involves the phenomenon of young people exposing their intimacy. Because when he uses the social network, the teenager opens a window on the external world. In fact, according to Puresight, a website created to protect the youngest internet users, "33% of teens are Facebook friends with other people they have not met in person." (Puresight). The teenager behaves as it would do with his family or its close friends, while being exposed to the net surfers. The traditionally shyness which happens while being in public disappears when the teenager is in front of the screen. It is this logic, which generates various practices at the risks, like the publication of personal photographs or the cyber harassing: the young user feels in a shelter behind his screen and exceeds the limits which it would have set in public.

How Forests Think: Towards An Anthropology Beyond the Human by Eduardo Kohn and Pandora's Hope: Essays on the Reality of Science Studies by Bruno Latour have an interesting dichotomy between what is considered alive (referred to by Kohn as a "self" and an "actant" for Latour), and what is not. It is important to note that Latour did not specifically refer to actants as being alive but they have agency, and this term is used in a similar manner to Kohn's concept of selves. Through this essay, I will review both books and each author's understanding of the concept of life. For Kohn, the boundaries of what is considered alive are limited to humans, animals, and organic matter. However, for Latour, we see a different, more developed understanding of the concept of life that incorporates essentially everything. By way of overview, Kohn's How Forests Think: Towards An Anthropology Beyond theHuman is an attempt to move beyond the limited cultural lens of the ethnographer (the outsider), in which one could only describe the Runa's understanding from afar while struggling to be among the Runa people. This piece is not just an ethnographic description of the Runa, which can oftentimes be ingenuous in nature, but an approach that allows the reader to see this group of people as Kohn has come to see them. However, throughout the book Kohn tends to fluctuate in his tone between acting as being an insider and describing this group as an ethnographer. Most importantly, from this ...

The Milroys then analysed phonological variables (in this case /a/ and /Й›/) in relation to the network structures and the individual speaker's degree of integration into a network. Firstly, they found that in Ballymacarrett, the innovative backing of /a/ is associated with men and the Belfast vernacular, while the traditional front /a / functions as a network marker for women. In contrast, the innovative raised variants of /Й›/ are associated with women and more prestigious outer–city speech, while the traditional low /Й›/ functions as a network marker for men. Furthermore, although the /a/ backing innovation is generally led by East Belfast males, the backing of /a/ among the young Clonard women is unusually high. The Milroys concluded that while working in a city centre shop, the Clonard women have weak–tie encounters with customers who use the back /a/ innovation, and they then subsequently adopt this innovation in their own speech. For the Milroys, this supports the idea that linguistic innovations are diffused via weak–tie connections, where the true innovators are connected to the early adopters via weak–tie connections.

Using evidence from the Icelandic sagas, they argue that the strong importance attached to kin and friendship in Iceland, as well as the relative stability of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. Models For Diffusion Of Innovations Among Potential Adopters Models for diffusion of innovations among potential adopters have been recently used to study the life cycle of new products and to forecast first–purchase sales. Those models are useful for managers as decision aids to create and perform strategies to maintain the profitability of new products across their life cycle. Bass (1969) pioneered this area of research with a model for diffusions of new products under peer pressure via word–of–mouth. This model distinguished two parameters: innovation and imitation. Later, Chatterjee and Eliashberg (1990) provided a microeconomic version of Bass's model that included interactions among potential adopters and the formation of beliefs. In Chatterjee and Eliashberg's model, potential adopters were risk averse and used the price and their perceptions about the innovation's performance as inputs for utility functions. Thus, with Bayesian methods, potential adopters updated parameters with information from past adopters. Our model also focuses on informational influence on adoption of new products. However, we modified Chatterjee and Eliashberg's model of beliefs formation and individual choice by taking into account the possibility that influences take place only among consumers who are connected in a social network. The objective of this article is twofold. First, we seek to determine how global parameters of the social network, such as average path length and clustering, affect diffusion processes.

Bjiker argued that technology is shaped by human engineers, market forces, consumer's needs and demands. In SCOT, technology is a social construction.

Among the components of technological systems are physical artifacts, such as biological weapon agents, aerosols, milling machines, microscopes. Technological systems also include organizations such as terrorist groups, governments and manufacturing laboratories. Legislative artifacts such as treaties and protocols can also be part of technological systems. Overtime, technological systems tend to join environmental factors into the system– eliminating uncertainty ("free market"). They are goal oriented: reordering of the material world to make it more productive. As technological systems develop after a long period acquire momentum which makes the system have more influence on society– it will begin to shape society. The reason technological systems concept will be unable to explain biological warfare is because Hughes assumed that the society can resist the momentum of a technology if they act earlier. In the production and use of biological weapons, the majority of the public are outsiders therefore, even if the "society" is aware of biological weapon technology in its early stage, their voice would not have any influence on the technology compared to the insiders (experts like microbiologists and organizations).

Therefore, I was able to diagnose the second major problem with my network – lack of relationships beyond work interactions. In addition to these two problems another major gap in my network was the absence of a relevant task network. While I had dependable career related relationships for advice and mentorship, and an extensive social network, I had no relationships in the consulting and entrepreneurship industries which is my industry of choice for my career.

Social network analysis provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of relationships.

Size of the Network[21] The size of a network can be determined in terms of the number of nodes of the network alternatively, as the number of edges in the network. 2. Density of a Network[21] The density of a network is the number of ties in the network expressed as a proportion of the number of all possible ties, i.e. the number of actual ties in the network divided by the number of all the ties that could be present. The density of a network may give insights into phenomena such as the speed at which information diffuses among the nodes. It is also sometimes used as a measure of connectivity of the network. 3 Path[21] A path between two nodes is denoted as d (u, v) is a sequence of node pairs that connect these two nodes. A special characteristic of a path is that all nodes and all connections on a path are distinct. If nodes are not distinct, the sequence is called trail; and if either nodes or connections are distinct within the sequence, it is called a walk. The length of a path is the number of connections in the sequence. A path is an important property of a node pair because it defines if two nodes are reachable or not and at what distance. If a path between two nodes exists, than they are reachable and vice versa. The path property is important for the calculation of various SNA measures including geodesic distance, diameter or centrality ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Sybil set consists of all the Sybil nodes and the edges between them and the non–Sybil region consists of the non–Sybil nodes and all the connections between the real nodes. It is assumed that the non–Sybil region of the network is tightly connected and has dense connections among its nodes as they trust each other. Hence the time taken to form connections between nodes, also called the mixing time of the region, is very small when compared with time taken to mix with the Sybil region.cite{gen5graph} For example, the probability that a real user accepts a friend request from another real user in Facebook is much higher than the probability of the request being accepted from an unknown or fake user. Thus Sybil accounts find it difficult to build connections with the real user. This results in limited number of edges between the nodes in non–Sybil and the Sybil region.

This approach places emphasis on the capacity of nonhuman objects to interact and even participate in various social networks and systems. The following information will explain Actor Network Theory, provide examples of how it is believed to work, and explore the relationship this theory has in regards to power and politics.

Humans and nonhumans are obviously not the same, but they can be studied and observed in similar ways and can both be seen as "actors" influencing their environment. Anything that makes a difference in the overall scheme of things can be considered an actor, or an actant. Even though it is technically called a theory, ANT usually doesn't explain how or even why a network emerges into the form that it does. Instead, ANT explores the intricate ties in a network.

The world's social networks contains enormous customer details that helps in understanding human behavior and conduct research on social science. In order to successfully mine the social data, Social Network Analysis is the most important task. A number of visualization tools are available to analyze these social networks. Even, many corporations has their goal set to tap into social media data in order to develop their business. Through social media, it is easy to find a lot of information about a celebrity and her whereabouts but finding the real–time information like energy consumption is very difficult.

  • 29. Social Network Analysis Essay Functionality in SNA(Social Network Analysis)[7] Functionalities are firstly the visualization of the network, secondly the computation of statistics based on nodes and on edges, and finally, community detection (or clustering) 1)Visualization of the network– Methods 1) FruchtermanReingold 2) Kamada–Kawai (which has a faster convergence than FruchtermanReingold, but which often does not give so good results than this last one) 2) Computation of statistics based on nodes A) Vertex and edge scoring The place of a given actor in the network can be described using measures based on vertex scoring. Common types of vertex scoring are the centrality measures. Within graph theory and network analysis, there are various measures of the centrality of a vertex to determine the relative importance of this vertex within the graph Degree centrality Closeness centrality Between's centrality Vertices that occur on many shortest paths between other vertices have higher between's than those that do not. PageRank: The score computed by Page Rank is higher for nodes that are highly connected and connected with nodes that are highly connected themselves. HITS algorithm: Hyperlink–Induced Topic Search (HITS, also known as hubs and authorities) calculates two scores: hub and authority score. The more a vertex has outgoing arcs, the higher is its hub score. The more a vertex has incoming links, the higher is its authority score. Tools for SNA[7,8,9,10]

But although it holds the high most importance, face to face communication will develop into an affair of the past, diminishing real life relationships and interaction. Social media made it challenging to distinguish between the bonds formed over the virtual world and significant relationships we create through face to face interaction. Several teens dedicate so much of their time toward building followers on online, that they forget to strengthen the meaningful ones in their lives. The most disturbing is that adults and teens find it troublesome to call their loved ones and partake in an actual conversation. This reduces communication skills among young adult. They will lack the capacity to communicate and socialize effectively with others. Currently, employers look for people with communication and social skill.

  • 32. Network Theory, Plot Analysis And With Shada's... As we've previously encountered social network analysis with some of our readings like Franco Moretti's article, "Network Theory, Plot Analysis" and with Shada's presentation last week, I'm not going to go into too much detail about the basics of social network analysis since I think that would be kind of redundant. My presentation will focus mainly upon how social network analysis can be used in literary studies to enrich our knowledge of subsets within the English discipline, and even the discipline as a whole. So before I get into that, I'll provide a super quick review of the most important parts of social network analysis. Social network analysis started off as a technique in sociology, but has since expanded into other disciplines, including, of course, literary studies, and the technique allows us to see relationships among actors through visual displays of nodes and and ties. In their book Social Network Analysis, David Knoke and Song Yang underline some fundamental underlying assumptions about the importance of social network analysis, and state that "social networks affect perceptions, beliefs, and actions through a variety of structural mechanisms that are socially contructed by relations among entities. Direst contacts and more intensive interactions dispose entities to better information, greater awareness, and higher susceptibility to influencing or being influenced by others." Importantly, they also remind us "that networks are not static structures, but are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 33. Structural Vulnerabilities And Link Privacy Structural vulnerabilities and Link Privacy in Social Networks Introduction/Background: In social networks, a link represents a relationship between two nodes in the network. These links can represent email conversations, web surfing, co–purchases of two or more products (e.g. Amazon), friendships (e.g. Facebook), followers (e.g. Twitter), etc. Often times these relationships are sensitive and/or confidential in nature [ying–wu] and the users are operating under the assumption that their private relationships will not be disclosed. In recent years the amount of data accumulated from social networks has become very large, and there is a lot of valuable information to gain from analyzing and applying data mining to social network data. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Results: Neighborhood Randomization Using Sub–Graph Perturbation In order for people to mine valuable data from social network graphs they must first be given information about the network. Even without explicit information about the nodes, an attacker may use structural information about the nodes and graph itself (e.g. node degree) to identify who the individuals are that the nodes represent. Simple graph–wise randomization addresses this problem by deleting k randomly chosen edges and replacing them with k randomly chosen edges, however a problem arises since data–miners depend on these structural attributes to properly analyze the social network. Fard and Wang [fard–wang] propose a structure–aware algorithm for the randomization of social network edges as well as a formal definition of "link privacy" with respect to a probabilistic threshold. Their motivation is to help conceal sensitive links by using randomization techniques, without disturbing the actual structure of the graph, which is achieved through local neighborhood perturbation. This is needed so that graphs can be analyzed without the link structure being left entirely vulnerable to attackers. The goal of their algorithm is to make it so that an adversary cannot know if a link in the original graph exists from having a link in the new graph. Problem definition: "Given a ...

  • 34. Proposed Socio Spatial Network Models And Compare Them... In this section we present our computational results of the properties of the proposed socio–spatial network models and compare them with those of ER, SW, and BA networks when it is appropriate. More specifically, we measure clustering coefficient, network density, average path length, assortativity, transitivity, and min, max, mean, and standard deviation degree. While several algorithms have been proposed for some of these measures, for simplicity of reproducing the results, we use the algorithms that have been implemented in the Python's Networkx library. All results are averaged over 25 independent model runs with different random seeds. It should be noted that in all analysis in this study we only consider undirected networks. Moreover, since the focus of this study is on the human social network, we limit our analysis to Onnela et al's (2011) findings that О± ≈ 1.5 and only consider three values of О± = 1.2, 1.5, and 2 for our sensitivity analysis purposes. 4 –1– Properties of the Spatial ErdГ¶s–RГ©nyi Network In this subsection we compute and report the characteristics of our proposed SER social network in terms of empirical regularity measures.

  • 35. Professional Development Providers Are Agencies That Offer... Professional development providers are agencies that offer professional learning opportunities to teachers on a variety of topics. They often play a key role in reform efforts in education by introducing teachers to new policy demands and teaching new pedagogical strategies (Knapp, 2003; Little, 1993). A wide range of organizations provide PD services, from districts to nonprofits, commercial firms, and universities (Coburn, 2005b; Coburn, Buchanan, & Morel, 2015; Little, 1989). Much of the research on professional development focuses on determining the features that make professional development effective–that is, which features of PD engender changes in practices in the classroom and the impact student outcomes (Knapp, 2003). This stream... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... By providing learning opportunities for educators, PD providers introduce new policies to teachers and provide strategies for implementing changes (Knapp 2003; Little, 1993). Since they interface with teachers, they have the ability to shape and interpret ideas about a policy. Coburn (2005b; 2006), for example, has shown that professional development providers actively filter, frame, and interpret the meaning of reforms as they present them to teachers. The nature of the framing impacts how teachers understand and implement the demands of new policies. Outside of this research, little attention has been paid to PD providers as a group of actors operating in the educational environment. Consequently, we know little about the inner workings of the professional development sector. There is little empirical evidence about the actors and organizations involved in providing PD (Coburn et al., 2015 is an exception) or the ideas they are promoting. Furthermore, we know almost nothing about the nature of social relationships among professional development providers and how they interact to share and promote ideas. While we know that ideas matter in the implementation process and that PD providers have the potential to shape the ideas teachers encounter, there are no studies to date that explore how PD providers promote and share ideas about new policy efforts.

Closeness centrality of a node is the reciprocal of the sum of its distances to all other nodes. c.CLUSTERING COEFFICIENT The degree to which nodes in a graph tend to cluster together in tightly–knit groups is given by the clustering coefficient. d.AVERAGE PATH LENGTH It is defined as the average number of steps along the shortest paths for all possible pairs of network nodes. It is a measure of the efficiency of information transfer on a network. Most real networks have a very short average path length leading to the concept of a small world where each one is connected to the other through a short path. e.DEGREE DISTRIBUTION The degree distribution of a network P(k) is defined to be the fraction of nodes in the network with degree k. Degree distribution depicts the difference in the degree of connectivity between all the nodes in a network. It gives the probability distribution of the node degrees over the network. IV.EXPERIMENTAL SETUP In order to generate the random graph models, the NetworkX module [11] present in Python3 has been used in Spyder (Scientific Python Development Environment) in Windows10 64–bit Operating System, having an IntelВ®Coreв„ўi3–5015U (2.10GHz) processor and a 4 GB RAM capacity.

Psychological Components Maxine was taken to the hospital complaining of heart palpitations, trouble breathing, and feeling like she was about to meet her imminent doom. Maxine has reported a long history of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, psoriasis, along with other skin problems that are usually associated with lack of personal hygiene, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and/or stress. Upon being hospitalized for two days, the medical team diagnosed the situation as a severe panic attack due to Maxine losing her only sense of stability: her cell phone and admitting that she was living in an unstable environment. This prognosis was made after the doctors ruled out a heart attack and stabilized her diabetes, while slightly adjusting her medications for hypertension and diabetes and stabilizing her iron through supplements. Bolwby's Attachment theory stresses the importance of secure attachment at birth between the child and caregiver and stresses this time frame is very crucial in the development of the right brain (Schore, 2012). The vignette does not mention Maxine's attachment upon birth with her caregiver but I would assume that it is secured because as one can see from the vignette Maxine has developed resilience after all the hell she has endured.

  • 39. What Does Good / Bad Communication Look Like A Network? What Does Good / Bad Communication Look Like In A Network? There are, or have been, a number of scholars who have deployed SNA for researches in the communication domain. Their works may be summarized in Table 3. And, as will be reviewed briefly below, several existing studies have demonstrated that SNA metrics and sociogram characteristics could serve as leading indicators of the quality of communication. Loosemore (1998) conducted a case study of a construction crisis to challenge the view that quantitative methods cannot be used to understand the social nature of construction research. This research found that the quality of communication could be indicated by the advantages and damaging effects of factions. During phase 1 of the crisis management process, there was one faction which consists of the architect, engineer, contractor – quantity surveyor and contractor – site manager. It indicates that there was good communication across the consultant/ contractor division. In comparison, during phase 3 of the reaction process, the communication was not positive. The dangers of factions could give some indication of the negative communication. Specifically, the site manager and engineer still formed the strongest faction, revealing a lack of focus among other actors. Additionally, a relatively equal distribution of a relatively high level of closeness could be indicative of effective communication with minimal distortion. Recent research includes Chinowsky et al.
