This paper analyses the productive structure in Spanish television research. Data from theses about Spanish television which had been defended in this country over the period 1976/2007 was extracted. Two methodologies are used within this analysis: a bibliometric analysis and Social Network Analysis (SNA). Results show the production of theses by time period, university, these advisors and examination board members. The use of social networks leads us in the identification of notable academic groups operating in the present period as well as tendencies in the composition of the board in terms of university of origin and thesis advisor. There are 404 theses on television written in this period. The results indicate a general and constant increase in the number of theses, especially noticeable over the last 15 years. Regarding scientific production, the Complutense University of Madrid stands out as the most productive. The structural analysis shows that only the Complutense University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, University of Navarre and the University of La Laguna generate their own research groups. Professors shaping the Spanish research system for television are found through the analysis of social networks. Leading positions within the network structure are held by professors of communication from the Complutense University of Madrid and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. El presente trabajo es un análisis de la estructura productiva de la investigación española sobre televisión a través de los datos extraídos de las tesis doctorales sobre televisión en España en el período 1976/2007. Para ello se utilizan dos metodologías diferentes; el análisis bibliométrico y el análisis de redes sociales. Para localizar las tesis doctorales se ha utilizado la base de datos bibliográfica Teseo. Los resultados describen la producción según quinquenios, universidades, directores y evaluadores. Se generan redes sociales para identificar grupos académicos que caracterizaron el período estudiado y tendencias de selección en tribunales según director y universidad. El número total de tesis producidas en el período estudiado es de 404 títulos. La tendencia general indica un incremento constante en todos los períodos con un crecimiento exponencial en los últimos 15 años. Son las universidades históricas de Comunicación las que destacan en la producción, siendo la Universidad Complutense la que capitaliza el mayor número de tesis leídas. El análisis estructural demuestra que solamente la Universidad Complutense, la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, la Universidad de Navarra y la Universidad de la Laguna generan grupos propios. A través del análisis de redes sociales se localiza a los profesores que estructuran el sistema de investigación español en televisión. Las posiciones predominantes dentro de la estructura de la red son ocupadas principalmente por catedráticos de Comunicación de la Universidad Complutense y Autónoma de Barcelona.

Este texto explora el equilibrio de poderes en la República del Ecuador analizado a través del Social Network Analysis (SNA). Se sostiene que los lazos formales e informales entre los actores del sistema político pueden ser afectados como resultado de una acción de mejora dentro de una parte del Estado. El artículo relata tres elementos esenciales: el aparato teórico del equilibrio de poder en el Estado, un resumen de las acciones de reforma en el sistema judicial ecuatoriano, y un contraste analítico entre los modelos de gobernanza del Estado ecuatoriano después de la reforma de la judicatura, realizada entre el 2010 y el 2014. Para esto, se propone comparar los modelos de balance de poder mediante un software de análisis de red social, del que se obtienen una serie de estadísticas que mostrarían la posibilidad de cambios en las capacidades de rendición de cuentas horizontal del Poder Judicial. Los datos obtenidos muestran una evidencia base de que pequeños cambios en la trama de relaciones gubernamentales tienen amplias consecuencias cuantitativas en el equilibrio de poderes, y se muestran como heurísticas de cambios en la dinámica del poder político. Se concluye indicando que las reformas del sistema judicial han creado un sistema más eficiente pero la centralidad del poder, de acuerdo a los datos obtenidos, pueden generar efectos no deseados en la administración pública y en la estructura de control del poder del Estado.

Decorrente do tipo de capital social que consiste em laços de reciprocidade e de confiança mútua entre atores envolvidos na ação coletiva, a cooperação constitui a chave mestra do desenvolvimento sustentável para os formuladores do Programa Turismo Solidário – PTS. Se para a plena realização dos objetivos desse Programa, fazia-se necessário um estoque satisfatório de capital social circulante nas redes sociais das localidades serranas que foram por ele contempladas, então, analisar as conexões entre a perspectiva relacional do capital social e o problema da ação coletiva sumariza a ordem de preocupações que leva à consecução deste artigo. O recurso ao arcabouço teórico e metodológico da Análise de Redes Sociais para lançar luz sobre essas conexões mostrou que a concepção e a forma pela qual o PTS foi implantado em São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras, Milho Verde e Capivari responderam pela incoesão das redes sociais do turismo e, com isso, pelo insucesso do PTS.

SOCIAL CAPITAL AND SOLIDARITY TOURISM: THE DISCOHESION OF COHESION IN THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICY FOR SERRO Abstract: For the creators of the Programa Turismo Solidário – PTS (Solidarity Tourism Program), cooperation is the master key of sustainable development. It results from a kind of social capital that consists of bonds of mutual trust among the actors involved in the collective action. Therefore, the complete fulfillment of the program's objectives demanded a sufficient supply of social capital circulating through the social networks of the localities in the Serro area included in the PTS. This paper aims to analyze the connections between the relational perspective of social capital and the problem of collective action in this sociospatial context in Minas Gerais. Resorting to the theoretical and methodological framework of Social Network Resorting to the theoretical and methodological framework of Social Network Analysis in order to clarify these connections allowed us to see that the formulation of PTS and how it was implemented in São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras, Milho Verde e Capivari contributed to the lack of cohesion in the tourism social networks and, as a result, the failure of PTS. Keywords: Social Capital. Collective Action. Solidarity Tourism. Sustainable Development. Social Network Analysis. CAPITAL SOCIAL Y TURISMO SOLIDARIO: LA DESCOHESIÓN DE LA COHESIÓN EN LA POLÍTICA DE DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE PARA SERRO Resumen: Para los creadores del Programa Turismo Solidario – PTS, la cooperación es la llave maestra del desarrollo sostenible. Ella es el resultado de una especie de capital social que consiste en lazos de confianza mutua entre los actores involucrados en la acción colectiva. Por tanto, el pleno cumplimiento de los objetivos del programa exigía una oferta suficiente de capital social circulando a través de las redes sociales de las localidades del Serro incluidas en el PTS. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las conexiones entre la perspectiva relacional del capital social y el problema de la acción colectiva en este contexto socioespacial en Minas Gerais. Recurrir al marco teórico y metodológico del Análisis de Redes Sociales para aclarar estas conexiones nos permitió ver que la formulación del PTS y cómo se implementó en São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras, Milho Verde e Capivari contribuyeron a la descohesión en las redes sociales turísticas y, como consecuencia, al fracaso del PTS.

This chapter provides an introduction to this volume on social networks. It argues that social network analysis is greater than a method or data, but serves as a central paradigm for understanding social life. The chapter offers evidence of the influence of social network analysis with a bibliometric analysis of research on social networks. This analysis underscores how pervasive network analysis has become and highlights key theoretical and methodological concerns. It also introduces the sections of the volume broadly structured around theory, methods, broad conceptualizations like culture and temporality, and disciplinary contributions. The chapter concludes by discussing several promising new directions in the field of social network analysis.

Social networks fundamentally shape our lives. Networks channel the ways that information, emotions, and diseases flow through populations. Networks reflect differences in power and status in settings ranging from small peer groups to international relations across the globe. Network tools even provide insights into the ways that concepts, ideas and other socially generated contents shape culture and meaning. As such, the rich and diverse field of social network analysis has emerged as a central tool across the social sciences. This Handbook provides an overview of the theory, methods, and substantive contributions of this field. The thirty-three chapters move through the basics of social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks statistically. The Handbook includes chapters on data collection and visualization, theoretical innovations, links between networks and computational social science, and how social network analysis has contributed substantively across numerous fields. As networks are everywhere in social life, the field is inherently interdisciplinary and this Handbook includes contributions from leading scholars in sociology, archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science among others.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has meant that young university students have had to adapt their learning and have a reduced relational context. Adversity contexts build models of human behaviour based on relationships. However, there is a lack of studies that analyse the behaviour of university students based on their social structure in the context of a pandemic. This information could be useful in making decisions on how to plan collective responses to adversities. The Social Network Analysis (SNA) method has been chosen to address this structural perspective. The aim of our research is to describe the structural behaviour of students in university residences during the COVID-19 pandemic with a more in-depth analysis of student leaders. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at one Spanish Public University, León, from 23th October 2020 to 20th November 2020. The participation was of 93 students, from four halls of residence. The data were collected from a database created specifically at the university to "track" contacts in the COVID-19 pandemic, SiVeUle. We applied the SNA for the analysis of the data. The leadership on the university residence was measured using centrality measures. The top leaders were analyzed using the Egonetwork and an assessment of the key players. Students with higher social reputations experience higher levels of pandemic contagion in relation to COVID-19 infection. The results were statistically significant between the centrality in the network and the results of the COVID-19 infection. The most leading students showed a high degree of Betweenness, and three students had the key player structure in the network. Networking behaviour of university students in halls of residence could be related to contagion in the COVID-19 pandemic. This could be described on the basis of aspects of similarities between students, and even leaders connecting the cohabitation sub-networks. In this context, Social Network Analysis could be considered as a methodological approach for future network studies in health emergency contexts.

Extant research suggests that membership in crime networks explains vulnerability to violent crime victimization. Consequently, identifying deviant social networks and understanding their structure and individual members' role in them could provide insight into victimization risk. Identifying social networks may help tailor crime prevention strategies to mitigate victimization risks and dismantle deviant networks. Social network analysis (SNA) offers a particular means of comprehending and measuring such group-level structures and the roles that individuals play within them. When applied to research on crime and victimization, it could provide a foundation for developing precise, effective prevention, intervention, and suppression strategies. This study uses police data to examine whether individuals most central to a deviant social network are those who are most likely to become victims of violent crime, and which crime network roles are most likely to be associated with vulnerability to violent victimization. SNA of these data indicates that network individuals who are in a position to manage the flow of information in the network (betweenness centrality), regardless of their number of connections (degree centrality), are significantly more likely to be homicide and aggravated assault victims. Implications for police practice are discussed.
