This article examines the relationship between immigrants’ residence in an ethnic enclave and use of alternative modes of transportation. Ethnic enclaves may offer stronger social networks, which may affect mode choice. Using the 2012–2013 California Household Travel Survey, I find that immigrants residing in ethnic enclaves have higher rates of household-external carpooling for nonwork trip purposes than immigrants residing outside ethnic enclaves. I find no difference in the rate of transit use, once built environment characteristics are taken into account. External carpools require arrangements between people in different households, and thus may reflect the social network effect of ethnic enclaves.

The Relationship

Aquaculture of Cage Culture is one of the main activities carried out by the community in the village of Haranggaol to fulfill their economic needs. This cultivation business establishes a relationship between traders and cages in terms of marketing their crops. There are 3 egocentric actors in the Haranggaol area. They are collectors (entrepreneurs/farmers who own capital), namely the Rohakinian group, the Siharo group, and the Paimaham group. Through these three egocentric actors, a social network is formed with several alters. Based on the qualitative approach with use Ucinet software, the mapping of their social networks can be seen as follows: alter actors connected to the Rohakinian group are 12 farmers in the group and 2 farmers outside the group with a density of 0.033. There are 27 alter actors connected to the Siharo group, 21 from the group and 6 from outside the group with a density of 0.014. There are 27 alter actors connected to the Paimaham group, namely 36 farmers from their groups and 10 farmers outside the group with a density of 0.005. The social networks that occur between these actors are intertwined due to the existence of kinship relationships, family or close friends who know each other among them. The relationship between family, family or close friends built with mutual trust make this network integrated.

Social media allows people to organize themselves and take action against social injustices and policies. Used to spread information, social media has been linked to the dissemination of political protests around the world. Relying on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Herd Behavior, this studied aimed at identifying gender differences in social network protests’ participation. Making use of multivariate data analysis through Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-SEM), 318 Brazilians responded the study and the results indicate that there are differences between the relationships of the antecedents of the use of the social network between users of different genders. The differences are in the relationship between the attitude and the use of social networks to participate in protests, with a positive effect on men and negative on women. This means that men understand that participating in online protests through social networks can improve awareness of events, giving strength to the movement and helping to ease the tension of protests, while women do not. The results go beyond the studies on which they were based, including the gender multigroup analysis and presenting a new model of technology adoption with new elements, such as the herd behaviour, embracing the imitation, and the uncertainty constructs. There is also a contribution to a greater understanding of the influence of social media on collective activism or movements.

In the current times, the research cites that elderly definitely need social networks to aid in their mental and physical well being. The previous researches have indicated familyfocused, friend-focused, and restricted types as the types of social networks available. Social network include social interaction and social communication. It is the need of the hour to study about the social network of the elderly population because many of them are left with nobody and loneliness is one of the important factor not to mention about desertion by their loved ones since they are no longer productive individuals. The heterogeneity of social networks is pathway to successful and healthy ageing. Healthy ageing is about using opportunities so that they can have social participation and lead a good quality of life. Elderly need not be burdensome individuals in the society instead they can be involved in lot of activities which contribute to them ageing gracefully. The research studies state that rural elderly have more chances of social participation that they find more meaning in life which is a contributing factor for healthy ageing. The present study aims to find out the relationship between social network and healthy ageing.

Since the existence of certain and uncertain characteristics of the relationships between nodes in social network, the study of social features is expanded by combining the set pair analysis and social computing. In this paper, a new method is created to describe nodes relationship situation in social network, i.e. set pair relationship situation, including generalized set pair relationship situation, generalized set pair close situation and generalized set pair loosen situation. In order to analyze the situation in social network, each kind of set pair relation situation are classified. Combining with the complexity of the social network system and the features of connection entropy, generalized connection entropy which used to express the complexity of social networks is proposed. It includes the generalized same entropy, the generalized difference entropy, and the generalized opposite entropy. These different types of entropies can be used to analyze the social network relationship stability from a more theoretical view. Then a situation analysis model and the corresponding algorithm is proposed. Finally the effectiveness of this method in analyzing the relationships in social networks is proved. Thus, our model can be used to reveal the relationship between social network and node state stability efficiently.

Dyadic interaction between a single project and an individual stakeholder has largely been the focus of research. But an increasing number of projects, in essence, are a multi-organization social network system. Study on the project governance social networks will be helpful to visualize and understand the project governance structure and governance strategy selection in specific condition. Therefore, we try to study methods to draw the social networks in project governance, discuss the configuration of the networks, and analyze the relationship between social network structures and stakeholders’ strategies.

Purpose Guided by social resource theory, this study aims to examine the influence of conflict (i.e. task and relationship) on performance. The authors investigated whether job engagement mediates this relationship and whether social network quality moderates the relationship between conflict, job engagement and performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors built and tested a moderated mediation model, using data from 217 graduate students. Findings Results showed that job engagement operates as a mediating mechanism between task conflict and performance. The authors also found that the indirect effect of job engagement depended upon the quality of the social networks. When the quality of the social network was high, both the task and relationship conflict did not negatively influence the association between job engagement and performance. Research limitations/implications These findings provide new insights into how social embeddedness in the form of social network quality can create a social context in which conflict works out less detrimental. Practical implications Given that employees are interdependent and coworkers are likely to differ in their personal values and opinions, the authors conclude that managers should facilitate the development of meaningful relationships at work. Originality/value Whereas prior research has found conflict (i.e. task and relationship) to negatively associate with performance, the authors show that social networks do affect the strength of the relationship between conflict (i.e. task and relationship) and performance.

Social network is a collection of heterogeneous multi-relational data represented by the graph, whose nodes represent object, whose edges represent relationships between nodes, and the weights represent the extent of the relationship between nodes. This paper gave a weighted K-means algorithm and introduced weighted K-means algorithm into social networks. Traditional k-means and most k-means variants are still computationally expensive for large datasets, however, the weighted K-means algorithm is to reduce the initial cluster centers blindness and randomness by eliminating noise point and narrowing the range of k values. Experiments datasets show that the weighted K-means algorithm significantly enhances the clustering quality. Therefore, the weighted K-means algorithm is effective and suitable for the social network. Algorithm’s error rate is smaller and accuracy is higher than that of traditional k-means algorithm.

Objective - This article aims to examine the relationship in the social network of Thai student labourers or special migrants known as “Thai-Aus labourers”, who are studying and working in Sydney, Australia. Methodology/Technique – Data was collected via in-depth interviews with 18 key Thai-Aus labourers in Sydney, Australia. These key informants were selected using the snowball technique. Content analysis was performed with the data based on the ATLAS.ti programme, and the social networks were analysed using the Ucinet and Netdraw programme. Finding – The results conclude that the relationships within the social networks of the Thai-Aus labourers were complex, although they each shared the same goal. The relationships were principally based on benefit exchange even though personal relationships appeared on the surface. Novelty - The directional flow in the pattern of benefit-giving and receiving, and the duration, did not affect relationships, which depended more on personal cases. Type of Paper: Empirical.

Social network plays a major role in communication and interaction of the people. Nowadays, cloud computing is the emerging technology in the field of Information Technology. The allocation and sharing of resources can be possible in an innovative way, by combining the social networks processes and cloud computing concepts. In the social network cloud, based on the friend’s relationship strength the resources can be provided from one friend to another. Based on the clustering techniques the similar type of friends will be grouped and the resources will be allocated. The resource providers recommend the virtualized containers on their devices itself. For efficient allocation of resources the effective allocation algorithms are used. Based on the type of relationship they had, the relationship based access control mechanisms are provided.

Three Phases

There are three phases in the use of online social media by tourists: before, during and after the trip. The aim of this study is to determine what social network users use to find information before and during the trip, the type of information they search, and where they share information. The study also identifies the relationship this has with the trustworthiness social networks provide them, especially distinguishing the social networks managed by the destination organizations. Therefore, we conduct a survey of 800 tourists who are social network users. Results show that social networks are not a major source of information before or during the trip but are very important for sharing contents after the experience, and that the most searched information concerns the main attractions of the destination. Moreover, there is a relationship between the use of social media and their perceived trustworthiness. In this case, for those who use social networks managed by destinations, these give them greater confidence.
