From temporal to static networks, and backPetter Holme
Infectious diseases are a major burden to global health. Understanding their mechanisms and being able to predict and intervene epidemic outbreaks is an important challenge for researchers and decision makers alike. It should not be too hard either―if we include human contact patterns, the mechanisms of contagion and the typical features of the disease, we could model most infectious-disease related phenomena. Of these three components, the network epidemiology of the last decade has shown that our limited understanding of human contact patterns is probably the most important focus are for advancing infectious disease epidemiology. We will discuss what is known about human contact patterns and how to include this knowledge in epidemic modeling. First, we discuss recent work on what the epidemiologically most important temporal structures of human contacts are. We use about 80 empirical temporal network datasets, several arguably important for disease spreading, and scan the entire parameter space of disease-spreading models. By comparing to null-models, we identify important, simple temporal patterns that affect disease spreading stronger than the bursty interevent time distributions. Furthermore, we investigate how to eliminate the temporal information to make an as relevant static network as possible. After all, static network epidemiology has more methods and results than temporal network epidemiology and it for some purposes it is necessary. We find that an “exponential threshold” representation almost always the best performance, but time-sliced network (with a carefully chosen window, usually considerably different than the sampling time of the data) works almost as good. In contrast, networks of concurrent contacts do not seem to carry so important information.

Na této hodině jsme se podrobněji bavili o výstupu z celého předmětu. Studující mají totiž za úkol sepsat strategii působení vybrané značky v sociálních médiích. Jaké má strategie potažmo značka cíle, pro koho je určena, jaký je aktuální stav brandu, jak si vede konkurence, jaké jsou příležitosti pro daný brand a obor a pak všechny možné sítě od Facebooku až po Pinterest, informace o nástrojích pro správu SM, rozdělení rolí, monitoring, vyhodnocování cílů, krizová komunikace atd... To všechno by měla správně sepsaná strategie obsahovat.

Affordability has been a focus of key administrative and public and private initiatives. These programs are bringing to light some of the broader issues facing Main Streets around access to housing and employment and thoughtful solutions-oriented initiatives. Our Main Streets are often the core of our communities, beyond small business, they define how we think about housing, housing access and policies around development. Our session will focus on private and public sector endeavors, sources of capital, and how strengthening of communities and not just businesses is key to ultimately addressing affordability in a multi-pronged approach.

Benchmark Intelligence is a suite of analytics tools for enterprise location management.
Benchmark makes it easy for enterprises with 100's to 10,000's of locations to monitor the health of their franchises. We also make it easy for enterprises to measure their competitors health as well.
Benchmark does this by programatically accessing all of a franchise’s locations on directories such as Google Maps, Yelp, Foursquare, and Facebook. We are then able to analyze the collected information and distill it into meaningful insights.
With our software it’s easy to identify unlisted locations or locations underperforming the enterprise average. We can even identify problematic regions or franchise owners. Our programmatic access even makes it possible to compare your enterprise’s ratings to your nearest competitors.
