This paper uses approaches from ethnography and Social Network Analysis to provide a brief insight into the practical, economic and social structure of Berlin’s Improvised Music scene during 2012 and 2013. The findings presented here address imbalances of gender and race, and highlight the (often difficult) financial reality of a life in Improvised Music. Audience, venues and performers are portrayed in order to provide an entry point for those unfamiliar with Improvised Music communities, and to offer an empirically researched point of departure for those already acquainted with such musicians and practices. This paper is an adaptation of parts of my PhD thesis “The Secret Gardeners: An Ethnography of Improvised Music in Berlin (2012-13),” which addresses the aesthetics, ideologies and practicalities of contemporary European Improvised Music-making from the point of view of 34 key practitioners and “expert” listeners.

The Impact

The traditional research approaches common in different disciplines of social sciences centered around one half of the social realm: the actors. The other half are the relations established by these actors and forming the basis of “social.” The social structure shaped by these relations, the position of the actor within this structure, and the impact of this position on the actor are mostly excluded by the traditional research methods. In this chapter, the authors introduce social network analysis and how it complements the other methods.

In the following paper, we present the main results of our now completed studies of the Varna I cemetery, based on the excavations undertaken by Ivan Ivanov in the years 1972–1991. The richness of the assemblages is singular in Old World prehistory. To tackle the question of its inter­nal, chronological development, we applied correspondence analysis (CA) to a newly created database that includes the inventories of all presently known graves, symbolic burials and find de­posits. The rank order of the seriated inventories was used to establish a CA-based 14C-age model for wiggle matching. In combination with topographic observations and social network analysis (SNA), our studies provide a new understanding both of the chronological and spatial distribution of the graves and burial goods, as well as new insights into the social structure, gender roles, individual relation­ships and ritual practices of the Chalcolithic community.

Objective: To understand international co-author collaboration in pharmaceutics and to visualize results by Google maps and social network analysis (SNA). Methods: Selecting 311 abstracts from the Medline based on keyword pharmaceutics [journal], we reported following features of pharmaceutics: (1) nation distribution across continents; (2) main keywords frequently displayed in papers; (3) the eminent author in pharmaceutics. We programmed Microsoft Excel VBA for extracting data from Medline. Google Maps and SNA Pajek software show graphical representations of pharmaceutics. Results: We found that (1) the most number of papers in nations are from U.S.(81, 16.05%) and Japan(34, 10.93%); (2) the most linked keywords are Pharmacokinetics and drug delivery; (3) the eminent authors are Muhammad Sohail Arshad(UK) and Takeshi Yokoo(Japan). Conclusion: Social network analysis provides wide and deep insight into relationships of entities we interested. The results drawn from Google maps can provide more information to future studies in academics.

This Chapter overviews most recent data mining approaches proposed in the context of social network analysis. In particular, it aims at classifying the proposed approaches based on both the adopted mining strategies and their suitability for supporting knowledge discovery in a dynamic context. To provide a thorough insight into the proposed approaches, main work issues and prospects in dynamic social network analysis are also outlined.

Diffusion Properties

The applications of social network analysis to the world tourism network are scarce, and a research update is long overdue. The goal of this research is to examine the topology of the world tourism network and to discuss the meaning of its characteristics in light of the current situation. The data used for the analysis comprise 193 target countries, 242 source countries, and 17,022 links, which is an overall 1,448,285,894 travels in 2018. Social network analysis is applied to the data to determine network topological and diffusion properties, as well as the network structure and its regularities (does it behave more as a social or a technological/biological network?). While results presented in this paper give a thorough insight into the world tourism network in the year 2018, they are only a glimpse in comparison to the possibilities for further research.

BACKGROUND Over 47,703 articles were found on Pubmed.com by searching for the keyword “association between[Title]” in the past. However, to date, none present the association between cited-by and similar journals related to a given journal. Authors need one effective and efficient way to find journals related to a specific journal. The strength of association between cited-by and similar journals for a given journal is required to report. OBJECTIVE This study aims (1) to present the feature of a given journal about their keyword topics and international author collaborations; (2) to show the cited-by and similar journals related to the given journal; (3) to investigate the association between their cited-by and similar journals. METHODS We obtained 85 abstracts since 2013 from Medline based on the keywords of ("JMIR Serious Games[Journal]) on June 30, 2018, and plotted the clusters, including (i) international author collaborations, (ii) keyword topics, (iii)cited-by and similar journals related to JMIR Serious Games(JSG), and (iv) association between cited-by and similar journals, on Google Maps by using social network analysis(SNA). RESULTS This study found that (1) the most number of papers are from the U.S.( 28, 32.9%) and the U.K. (11,12.9 %), the most frequently used keywords are serious games and video games; (2) the top two journals for cited-by and similar journals, respectively, are (i) JMIR mHealth uHealth(IF=4.541), J Med Internet Res (IF=4.671) and (ii) Games Health J (IF= 2.019), J Med Internet Res (IF=4.671); (3) a mild association(=0.14) exists between cited-by and similar journals related to JSG. CONCLUSIONS SNA provides deep insight into the relationships of related journals to a given journal. The results of this research can provide readers with a knowledge and concept diagram to use with future manuscript submissions to JSG. CLINICALTRIAL Not available
