Abstract Grandparents raising grandchildren experience multiple challenges as they take on the unexpected role of caring for their grandchildren, which usually occurs under stressful and stigmatizing conditions. Many of the challenges grandparents experience are well documented in the research. Less attention is given to understanding how a grandparent caregiver’s social network changes when s/he becomes a caregiver and how her/his social network influences resilience. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use social network analysis (SNA) to examine the relation between social networks and resilience in grandparents raising their grandchildren. This was done by conducting face-to-face interviews with twenty grandparents raising grandchildren after they completed a survey measuring social support, social isolation, and resilience. The interview protocol included questions related to participants’ social network, social support, and services. Prior to the interviews, using data from the surveys participants were identified as representing one of four resilience quadrants: resilient, maladaptive, competent, and vulnerable. Qualitative analysis of grandparent’s social networks across groups indicated resilient grandparent caregivers’ networks were structured in a way that provided more opportunities for the inflow of new information and resources. Whereas the proportion of professionals in maladaptive grandparent caregivers’ networks tended to be less than for other networks. This could suggest that for grandparent caregivers, having professionals in one’s network can be beneficial. Findings from the current study provide opportunities for future research such as identifying ways to help grandparent caregivers structure their social networks to promote resilience.

Using data from one of the first trials to try to leverage social networks as a mechanism for obesity intervention, we examined which social network conditions amplified behavior change. Data were collected as part of a community-based healthy lifestyle intervention in Nashville, USA, between June 2014 and July 2017. Adults randomized to the intervention arm were assigned to a small group of 10 participants that met in person for 12 weekly sessions. Intervention small group social networks were measured three times; sedentary behavior was measured by accelerometry at baseline and 12 months. Multivariate hidden Markov models classified people into distinct social network trajectories over time, based on the structure of the emergent network and where the individual was embedded. A multilevel regression analysis assessed the relationship between network trajectory and sedentary behavior (N = 261). Being a person that connected clusters of intervention participants at any point during the intervention predicted an average reduction of 31.3 min/day of sedentary behavior at 12 months, versus being isolated [95% CI: (−61.4, −1.07), p = 0.04]. Certain social network conditions may make it easier to reduce adult sedentary behavior in group-based interventions. While further research will be necessary to establish causality, the implications for intervention design are discussed.

SummaryUsing data from The National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, the strength of social networks and the association of self-reported health among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) were compared. Differences in social network–health relationships between AI/ANs and NHWs were also examined. For both groups, those with fewer network members were more likely to report fair or poor health than those with average or more network members, and persons with the fewest types of relationships had worse self-reported health than those with the average or very diverse types of relationships. Furthermore, small social networks were associated with much worse self-reported health in AI/ANs than in NHWs.

t— the influence of social networks among people and at the same time inevitable spread of commercial use of them. Accordingly, in order to sell products, recommender systems designed based on user behavior on social networks, providing a variety of commercial offers tailored to the user. The accuracy of recommender systems that make recommendations to users, and how many of the proposals are accepted by the users is important. In this paper, a recommender system is designed based on user behavior in social network Facebook in two acts and suggests that users purchase their favorite products. The first step is to examine user behavior based on user interests will be given an offer to buy products. In the second stage recommender system uses data mining techniques and suggestions to the user that is associated with their previous purchases. This is real data and the real results of it and it is valid, as well as the results show a high level of accuracy recommender system is designed to offer suggestions to users.

A brief overview of the history of the Internet and social networks in the world and in Russia in particular has been provided. The concepts of social network, user profile and properties inherent in any social network – virtuality, interactivity and multimedia have been сharacterized and revealed. Dynamic data on the state of digital technologies for 2019 in the world and in Russia in particular have been analysed. The history and prospects for further development of social networks have been considered. Statistical data on the number of users of the 9 most popular social networks in Russia, namely: their activity, the amount of time spent on the Internet and in social networks, age and gender specifics and preferences of the technical devices used and types of Internet connection have been adduced. General recommendations to marketers on accurate targeting of ads placed in social networks have been given. To do this, companies should work with groups of users, that are united by a number of parameters, as well as create communities in social networks by companies that convey new information to users. Using data on the age, gender and other attributes of the target audience of social networks, marketers will be able to successfully solve the problems of increasing brand awareness and loyalty, attracting new customers, influencing the search promotion of external resources (sites and communities) containing information about the brand, products and services, and using them as effective tools for attracting potential customers.


Due to technological advances, it has become easy to collect electronic records from a social network for an adversary. However, the organisations which collect data from social networks have two options before them: either they can publish the data and bear the undesirable consequence of privacy threats or not make it public by avoiding further analysis of these data by social scientists to uncover useful facts, which can be of high importance for the society. Since both these options are undesirable, one can try to find an intermediate way between the two, that is, the data before publishing can be anonymised such that even if an adversary gets some information from the published network, he/she cannot decipher and obtain sensitive information about any individual. By anonymization, the authors mean the perturbation of the real data in order to make it undecipherable. This chapter explores social network anonymization.

AbstractThe structure of animal social networks influences survival and reproductive success, as well as pathogen and information transmission. However, the general mechanisms determining social structure remain unclear. Using data on 73,767 social interactions among wild spotted hyenas over 27 years, we show that a process of social inheritance determines how offspring relationships are formed and maintained. The relationships of offspring with other hyenas are similar to those of their mothers over up to six years, and the degree of similarity increases with maternal social rank. The strength of mother-offspring relationship affects social inheritance and is positively correlated with offspring longevity. These results confirm the hypothesis that social inheritance of relationships can structure animal social networks and be subject to adaptive tradeoffs.

 The modern Science of Social Networks has brought significant advances to our understanding of the Structure, dynamics and evolution of the Network. One of the important features of graphs representing the Social Networks is community structure. The communities can be considered as fairly independent components of the social graph that helps identify groups of users with similar interests, locations, friends, or occupations. The community structure is closely tied to triangles and their count forms the basis of community detection algorithms. The present work takes into consideration, a triangle instead of the edge as the basic indicator of a strong relation in the social graph. A simple triangle counting algorithm is then used to evaluate different metrics that are employed to detect strong communities. The methodology is applied to Zachary Social network and discussed. The results bring out the usefulness of counting triangles in a network to detect strong communities in a Social Network.  


The existing data sharing systems relates with the on-line social networks (OSNs) suggest encoding of information before sharing, the multiparty get to the executives of scrambled information has turned into a troublesome issue. A safe information sharing subject proposed in OSNs upheld figure content approach trait based and Elliptic Curve Cryptography algorithmic principle re-encryption and mystery sharing. The work relates the gatekeeper clients' delicate information grants clients to redo get to approaches of their information thus source scrambled information to the OSNs administration provider. The proposed technique displays a multiparty get to the executive’s model that enables the communicator to refresh the entrance strategy of figure content. The characteristics fulfill the common access strategy. The work needs a fractional mystery composing development inside which the calculation overhead of client is essentially diminished by strengthening the vast majority of the mystery composing activities to the OSNs administration provider. Moreover, the check capacity on the outcomes originated from the OSNs administration provider to guarantee the rightness of fractional decoded figure content. The present subject partner affordable properties disavowal philosophy that accomplishes each forward and in reverse mystery. The insurance and execution examination results demonstrate that the arranged subject is secure and efficient in OSNs.

Using data from The International Social Survey Programme this paper compares the social networks of those aged 50 and above in 18 countries. Two different types of networks are conceptualised: family contact and community participation. Using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), international sets are established for four groups of countries. Set one includes countries that only satisfy a minimal number of social network thresholds (France, Norway, Great Britain, Denmark and the USA). Set two includes a homogeneous group of countries with above-threshold rates of marriage and community participation (Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria and Canada). Other separate sets with stronger social network features comprise Eastern European countries (set three) and Southern Europe countries (set four) in these sets, family contacts are above the international country average but community participation is less strong. Country sets with low comparative threshold scores in the QCA are argued to be likely to be in greater need of government care policy interventions.
