My support network includes a good number of people. The closest to me would be my boyfriend and my daughter. They are the two people I see the most and rely on. Then my dad and stepmom who help me watch my daughter while i'm at work or trying to get my school work done. Next would be my friends. I have my friends that I work with on a daily bases, my close friends who keep in touch with and see as often as i can, and my friends who have kids the same age as my daughter who I get together with for a playdate or call If i need a babysitter. My neighbors would be part of it because I depend on them to keep an eye out and keep my community safe and I see them on a daily bases and then would be my extended family. all the people I don't get to see and talk to often but who are their when ever I would need them.

\newline Although the qualities of this method were competitive compared to those of other state-of-the-art methods, its efficiency and effectiveness was overshadowed by its computational time and space constraints thereby, limiting its application. To address this issue, Raymond et al. \cite{Raymond} extended \cite{Kashima}, proposing a fast and scalable algorithm for link propagation. This proposed algorithm utilizes matrix factorization and approximation techniques (such as the Cholesky and eigen-decomposition) to reduce the computational time and space required in solving linear equations in the Link Propagation. The proposed methods are also effective in link prediction on dynamic

Professional development providers play a key role in the policy implementation process by supporting teachers as they learn about and enact new policies. The adoption of the Common Core standards in many states has placed new demands on teachers and schools. By mediating between policy and the classroom, PD providers are in a unique position to influence how teachers understand and ultimately implement new policies. Using social network analysis and the theory of brokerage, this study has explored how PD providers access and activate social capital to support PD planning and delivery. Brokers have the potential to play a critical role in shaping the flow and content of information and resources in a social network. This impacts the social

With path analysis we are attempting to estimate and describe causal relationships through the use of correlative data. Because of this fact the degree of confidence we can have in the causal inferences drawn from the results of the analysis is bound to be much less than the confidence in inferences drawn from an experimental study.

In particular, this data lends itself well to the tools and techniques for network analysis, as the human connectome is itself a complex network

When a divorce takes place, it affects not only the direct families, but their social networks as well. Gravonetter (1973) defined the strength of a social network as a “combination of time and intimacy” (p. 1361). Social networks can be broken down into two categories: the stronger and the weaker ties. According to Gravonetter (1973), the stronger ties are the families, close friends, college friends, social circles and even co-workers. These are the people that an individual shares memories of and intimate moments with (p. 1361). The individual interacts with their stronger ties most of the time, or even on a daily basis. On the other hand, weaker ties are the institutions such as schools, the community, society, or even an individual whom they have interacted with or met through a common friend. The weaker ties provide some form of support, but not as robust compared to the strong ties (Gravonetter, 1973, p. 1361). Families undergoing or are in the process of divorce usually seeks support from their social networks. It is then no wonder that when a divorce occurs, it usually involves everyone even the weaker ties. For stronger ties, they experience the effects of divorce as much as the direct families do. Grief and Deal (2012) found that when a couple marries, their social networks usually merge (p.422). Almost all married couples share the same set of friends and social circle so when a divorce takes place there is also a shift in their social networks (Grief and Deal,

Organization structure defined by leadership has a considerable impact on the formation of social networks. From psychological research during the 1940s and 1950s, it became evident that individuals gather into groups as a result of interaction opportunities, most commonly defined by places where people meet (Burt, Kilduff, and Tasselli, 2013). While it has been established that different social network structures can prove to be advantageous in differing scenarios, it is often believed that a greater number of connections in the workplace is beneficial, as meaningful relationships can lead to a sense of belonging and pride in an organization. Consequently, in many scenarios, facilitating interaction opportunities can be a common goal of management; providing employees the opportunity to get to know and learn from one another, whether through onboarding or continuous employee development, promotes the forming of groups and increase of density in a social network. As groups form, a new identity may be created, often characterized by signs of symbolic convergence. These signs might take on the form of inside jokes, symbols, behaviors, or similar views and begin to define what it means to be in the group. At the same time as a group forms, an in-group and out-group frequently begin to develop—those who belong to the group in question and those who do not. The membership discrepancy among in-groups and out-groups can turn problematic if taken too far. Although there is some

Closeness centrality of a node is the reciprocal of the sum of its distances to all other nodes.

Interaction points of spatial networks are linked to each other by what the writer’s term as channels, and they’re the paths through which material is transported. A definite sequence of linked edges in spatially embedded graph will form a channel. As you look at figure 1a, the roads are your channels, the pipeline network pipes, and tracks in railway networks are different examples of channels. The channels of which the writers have termed have exactly two end points, where the end points of a channel can intersect with other channels or they can remain free. An example of this is: one of the channel l3 end points intersects with the channel l7 at the point of j6. On the other hand, the end point will not intersect with any other channel, it will represents a dead end. This dead end can be considered as an extremity of a network, so they call it boundary of the network. So if you direct your attention to figure 1b you can see that all the points marked by hollow circles are boundary points for the network.
