Full textL'analyse des réseaux sociaux est un domaine d'études interdisciplinaires qui comprend des applications en biologie, épidémiologie, marketing et même politique. La maximisation de l'influence représente un problème où l'on doit trouver l'ensemble des noeuds de semence dans un processus de diffusion de l'information qui en même temps garantit le maximum de propagation de son influence dans un réseau social avec une structure connue. La plupart des approches à ce genre de problème font appel à deux hypothèses. Premièrement, la structure générale du réseau social est connue. Deuxièmement, les probabilités des influences entre deux noeuds sont connues à l'avance, fait qui n'est d'ailleurs pas valide dans des circonstances pratiques. Dans cette thèse, on propose un procédé différent visant la problème de l'apprentissage de ces probabilités d'influence à partir des données passées, en utilisant seulement la structure locale du réseau social. Le procédé se base sur l'apprentissage automatique sans surveillance et il est relié à une forme de regroupement hiérarchique, ce qui nous permet de faire la distinction entre les noeuds influenceurs et les noeuds influencés. Finalement, on fournit des résultats empiriques en utilisant des données réelles extraites du réseau social Facebook.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research investigates the social support networks of single mothers. The basic premise underlying this research is the importance of social workers' understanding of the social support networks of single mothers. It is necessary for social workers to identify the social support systems that exist in a social support network, and to select those systems which would be relevant to the needs of the single mother. The aim of this study is to present guidelines for social workers to empower single mothers to utilise social support networks to fulfil their roles as parents. The research report includes identifying personal information, issues faced by singleparent families, the nature of single-parenthood, emotional and functional changes experienced since becoming a single mother and the social support networks of single mothers. Knowledge of these indicators will increase the awareness of social workers of the needs of single mothers.

The research report includes identifying personal information, issues faced by singleparent families, the nature of single-parenthood, emotional and functional changes experienced since becoming a single mother and the social support networks of single mothers. Knowledge of these indicators will increase the awareness of social workers of the needs of single mothers. The empirical research involved the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods in order to explore the theoretical part of the research. This section was divided into two phases. The first phase was devoted to acquiring a sufficient understanding of the nature of what single-parenthood with an emphasis on single mothers, and also to get a better understanding of the single mothers' existing social support network. The second phase included conducting interviews with the single mothers (N=10) with the help of a questionnaire. The findings and responses of the respondents were analyzed and compared with the findings from previous studies undertaken by various authors. The findings of this research can be used as guidelines for social workers who need to assist a single mother with a need or problem, and more specifically can help the single mother to utilize her social support network.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsing ondersoek die maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerke van enkel moeders. Die uitgangspunt van die navorsing is dat dit belangrik is dat maatskaplike werkers begrip sal hê vir die maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerke van enkelmoeders. Dis belangrik dat maatskaplike werkers die maatskaplike ondersteunings sisteme wat in die maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerk bestaan sal identifiseer, en om dan die sisteme wat relevant is tot die behoeftes van die enkelmoeder te selekteer. Die doel van die studie is om riglyne daar te stel vir maatskaplike werkers om enkelmoeders te bemagtig om maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerke te gebruik om hul rol as ouers te vervul. Die navorsings verslag sluit die volgende in: identifiserende persoonlike inligting, probleme wat enkelouer gesinne kan ondervind, die aard van enkelmoederskap, emosionele en funsionele veranderinge ondervind sedert enkelmoederskap en die maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerke van enkelmoeders in, Kennis van hierdie indikatore sal maatskaplike werkers se bewustheid van die behoeftes van enkel moeders verhoog. Vir die empiriese navorsing is kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe metodes gebruik om die teoretiese aspekte van die navorsing te ondersoek. Hierdie afdeling is in twee fases verdeel. Die eerste fase is uitgevoer om genoegsame begrip te verkry van die aard van enkelouerskap met die klem op enkelmoeders, asook om 'n beter begrip te kry van die enkelmoeder se bestaande maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerk. Die tweede fase behels die voer van onderhoude met enkelmoeders (N=10) met behulp van 'n vraelys, in Guguletu. Resultate en respondense is ontleed en vergelyk met die bevindinge van vorige studies wat deur verskillende navorsers onderneem is. Die bevindinge van die navorsing kan deur maatskaplike werkers gebruik word as riglyne om enkelmoeders wat behoeftes of probleme ondervind by te staan, en die enkel moeder meer spesifiek kan help om haar maatskaplike ondersteuningsnetwerk te gebruik.

Full textEsta tesis explora diversos entornos económicos en los que la estructura de las interacciones sociales entre los individuos determina los distintos resultados. En el primer capítulo, se estudia acuerdos de seguro mutuo restringidos en una red social. Utilizo datos de comunidades bolivianas para medir las predicciones teóricas y encuentro que los intercambios observados entre los hogares coinciden con la regla de reparto basada en la red obtenida por la teoría. Sostengo que este marco ofrece una reinterpretación de los resultados estándar de distribución de riesgos, prediciendo heterogeneidad entre los hogares en respuesta a los shocks de ingresos. En el segundo artículo, estudio el comportamiento individual y colectivo en juegos de coordinación, donde la información se dispersa a través de una red. Demuestro cómo los cambios en la distribución de las conectividades de la población afectan a los tipos de coordinación en equilibrio, así como la probabilidad de éxito. En el tercer capítulo, analizo un marco de aprendizaje y cambio de personal en el mercado de trabajo. Muestro que emparejamiento selectivo positivo (PAM) se extiende más allá del entorno estable de Eeckhout y Weng (2010) a una situación de incertidumbre residual que exhibe períodos de des-aprendizaje. También extiendo esta configuración para permitir elementos de career concerns y muestro que el equilibrio de PAM sólo puede sostenerse bajo fuertes supuestos.

This thesis studies the learning problem of a set of agents connected via a general social network. We address the question of how dispersed information spreads in social networks and whether the information is efficiently aggregated in large societies. The models developed in this thesis allow us to study the learning behavior of rational agents embedded in complex networks. We analyze the perfect Bayesian equilibrium of a dynamic game where each agent sequentially receives a signal about an underlying state of the world, observes the past actions of a stochastically-generated neighborhood of individuals, and chooses one of two possible actions. The stochastic process generating the neighborhoods defines the network topology (social network). We characterize equilibria for arbitrary stochastic and deterministic social networks and characterize the conditions under which there will be asymptotic learning -- that is, the conditions under which, as the social network becomes large, the decisions of the individuals converge (in probability) to the right action. We show that when private beliefs are unbounded (meaning that the implied likelihood ratios are unbounded), there will be asymptotic learning as long as there is some minimal amount of expansion in observations. This result therefore establishes that, with unbounded private beliefs, there will be asymptotic learning in almost all reasonable social networks. Furthermore, we provide bounds on the speed of learning for some common network topologies. We also analyze when learning occurs when the private beliefs are bounded.
(cont.) We show that asymptotic learning does not occur in many classes of network topologies, but, surprisingly, it happens in a family of stochastic networks that has infinitely many agents observing the actions of neighbors that are not sufficiently persuasive. Finally, we characterize equilibria in a generalized environment with heterogeneity of preferences and show that, contrary to a nave intuition, greater diversity (heterogeneity) 3 facilitates asymptotic learning when agents observe the full history of past actions. In contrast, we show that heterogeneity of preferences hinders information aggregation when each agent observes only the action of a single neighbor.

Research suggests that social support has important effects on our mental and physical health. To this point, though, the process of seeking social support has largely been neglected in research. Specifically, there hasn’t been much research on how social support is sought online. We know that people seek social support online by posting and messaging on social media. The present study seeks to examine the language of online support seeking—this way, we can understand what people tend to say when seeking support. The present study is concerned with the content of support seeking posts; by analyzing this content, we can understand themes that are prevalent in online support seeking. This allows us to better understand support seeking and, hopefully, better identify people in need of support. By identifying those people in need of support, we can ensure that their support needs are met and that they don’t suffer the health consequences related to a lack of social support. Therefore, this research extends our knowledge of social support seeking, both theoretically and practically.

Full textPrevious research demonstrates that social support is essential for successful reentry into the community after incarceration. However, little research examines how incarceration itself impacts social support and how individuals with different incarceration histories have different experiences of social support. This dissertation examined how individuals’ social networks, social support, and wellbeing are predicted by incarceration history. Formerly incarcerated men returning from jail and prison (N = 68) were interviewed in a procedure designed to collect information about their criminal justice histories, to map their social networks, to provide open-ended feedback about their reentry experience, and to collect a variety of other relevant demographic and scale measures. Analyses of the resulting data provided little evidence that an individual’s most recent incarceration impacts their social network, social support, or wellbeing. However, conditions of individuals’ previous and lifetime incarcerations did have significant predictive power. Individuals who were incarcerated for longer in prison in the past, incarcerated in any setting for longer in the past, incarcerated in any setting for longer throughout their lifetime, and/or incarcerated further from home throughout their lifetime were found to have less support available to them. Conditions of previous and lifetime incarceration also predicted alter closeness, the incarceration history of alters, and participant wellbeing. The relationships between previous and lifetime incarceration and these outcomes were not mediated by participants’ prisonization or by their identification with people inside or people outside of prison and jail. Qualitative analyses provided additional information about support during reentry, including highlighting the physical and emotional distance created by incarceration, the important role that technology and social media plays in support after reentry, and the complicated nature of relationships with other individuals who have been incarcerated. These findings can be used by correctional facilities, probation and parole officers, and non-profit and government service providers to help determine which reentering individuals are least likely to have support and close network members, and which individuals are most likely to have a greater prevalence of formerly incarcerated network members and poor wellbeing. Providing these individuals with additional reentry services has the potential to reduce recidivism and increase public safety.

Scaffoldings são apoios a aprendizes novatos através de uma simplificação do contexto de aprendizagem. Estes apoios são gradualmente removidos à medida que os alunos desenvolvem estratégias autônomas de aprendizagem (processo conhecido como fading ). Em ambientes de aprendizagem online, os scaffoldings podem ser implementados através de um conjunto de funcionalidades que promovam o planejamento de objetivos, auto-monitoramento, auto-avaliação, estratégias de aprendizado, procura de ajuda, e planejamento e gerenciamento do tempo. Enquanto scaffoldings do Aprendizado Auto- Regulado (AAR) têm sido discutidos em ambientes tradicionais de aprendizagem, as redes sociais online têm pouca ou nenhuma atenção neste domínio. O presente estudo é focado em scaffoldings do AAR em redes sociais, pois acreditamos que as redes sociais têm estilos de interação que influenciam mais notadamente as habilidades individuais e coletivas do AAR. Nós coletamos itens do AAR no estado-da-arte sobre metacognição e aprendizagem, definimos suas metas e sugerimos scaffoldings para o AAR em redes sociais. Cada item foi extraído a partir de vários estudos na literatura sobre Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) e o AAR; dados quantitativos e qualitativos a partir de relatórios; estudos de caso; questionários AAR e outros recursos mencionados ao longo deste trabalho. Nós implementamos os mecanismos de scaffoldings na rede social Rede Social Educacional (Redu). Redu oferece um espaço de trabalho compartilhado, onde os alunos são incentivados a publicar os seus documentos e notas de aula, enquanto o professor fornece documentos e faz comentários para a classe. Os mecanismos de scaffoldings sugeridos incluem: 1) Blogs, comentários e fórum; 2) Instruções sobre tarefas, 3) Ajuda contextual e políticas de uso; 4) Perguntas para reflexão; 5) Fluxo de atividades; 6) Criação e compartilhamento de recursos; 7) Perfil de aprendizagem, 8) Notas de aula; 9) Discussões e assitência par-a-par; 10) Exames formativos; 11) Feedback de desempenho e orientação; 12) Mecanismos de recompensa e; 13) Visualização de informação. Em resumo, este trabalho sugere que uma rede social de aprendizagem pode ser concebida para melhorar o aprendizado auto-regulado através de mecanismos de scaffoldings apropriados

Full textINTRODUCCIÓN: Hay pruebas contradictorias sobre el rol de las relaciones sociales en la salud y el bienestar y es necesaria más investigación para hacer frente a la falta de información. El objetivo de este proyecto es categorizar los indicadores clave identificados en relación con la salud y el bienestar, y determinar el impacto de este tipo de indicadores en la salud mental y mortalidad. MÉTODOS: Este proyecto incluirá tres artículos de investigación: El artículo I es una revisión de la literatura que investiga la evidencia sobre asociaciones entre las relaciones sociales y la depresión en la población general. El artículo II es un trabajo de investigación original con el objetivo de examinar cómo el tipo de red social identificada al inicio del estudio predice la mortalidad entre los adultos mayores en los países en desarrollo. El artículo III es un trabajo de investigación original que consiste en la investigación de las asociaciones de las interacciones sociales positivas y negativas y las redes sociales con la depresión, la ansiedad y la ideación suicida entre los adultos mayores irlandeses con una relación sentimental. RESULTADOS: I) Se identificaron asociaciones entre la depresión y un número de indicadores claves de apoyo social y redes sociales. En general, los estudios encontraron que el apoyo social percibido y tener redes sociales grandes y diversas tenían efectos protectores sobre la depresión en la población general. II) Para adultos mayores procedentes de países en vías desarrollo, el tiempo de supervivencia se reduce significativamente en individuos con redes sociales limitadas. III) En una muestra irlandesa de adultos mayores con una relación sentimental, encontramos que una peor calidad de la relación con la pareja se relacionaba positivamente con depresión, ansiedad e ideación suicida, y que redes sociales limitadas se asociaban positivamente con depresión. CONCLUSIÓN: Se hacen una serie de recomendaciones para hacer una evaluación más completa sobre el papel de las redes sociales de apoyo en relación con la salud mental en el futuro. Además, estar incluido en relaciones sociales de apoyo de calidad se asocia negativamente con mortalidad y con trastornos mentales entre los adultos mayores en la población general. La asistencia social y las intervenciones de salud mental pública podrían ser mejoradas mediante la adaptación de las intervenciones para aumentar la cantidad y calidad de las redes de apoyo social con el fin de promover la salud mental y el estado de salud general de la población. Se discuten las implicaciones para la investigación en salud, las políticas sanitarias y sociales, y direcciones futuras.

This dissertation examines new professional practices in urban planning that utilize new types of spatial planning support systems (PSS) based on geographic information systems (GIS) software. Through a mixed-methods research design, the dissertation investigates the role of these new technologies in planning workshops, processes, and as metropolitan infrastructures. In particular, PSS are viewed as supporting social learning in spatial planning processes. The study includes cases in Boston, Kansas City, and Austin. The findings indicate high levels of social learning, broadly confirming the collaborative planning theory literature. Participants at planning workshops that incorporated embodied computing interaction designs reported higher levels of two forms of learning drawn from Argyris and Schöns' theory of organizational learning: single and double loop learning. Single loop learning is measured as reported learning. Double loop learning, characterized by deliberation about goals and values, is measured with a novel summative scale. These workshops utilized PSS to contribute indicators to the discussion through the use of paper maps for input and human operators for output. A regression analysis reveals that the PSS contributed to learning by encouraging imagination, engagement, and alignment. Participantsʼ perceived identities as planners, personality characteristics, and frequency of meeting attendance were also related to the learning outcomes. However, less learning was observed at workshops with many detailed maps and limited time for discussion, and exercises lacking PSS feedback. The development of PSS infrastructure is investigated by conducting a qualitative analysis of focus groups of professional planners, and a case where a PSS was planned but not implemented. The dissertation draws on the research literatures on learning, PSS and urban computer models, and planning theory. The research design is influenced by a sociotechnical perspective and design research paradigms from several fields. The dissertation argues social learning is required to achieve many normative goals in planning, such as institutional change and urban sustainability. The relationship between planning processes and outcomes, and implications of information technology trends for PSS and spatial planning are discussed.

Full textSyftet med artikeln är att utvärdera den påverkan som en klassificeringsmodell kan ha på den interna processen av kundtjänst inom ett stort digitaliserat företag. Chatbotar används allt mer frekvent bland digitala tjänster, även om den generella effekten inte alltid är tydlig. Studien är uppdelad i följande två frågeställningar: (1) Vilken klassificeringsalgoritm bland naive Bayes, logistisk regression, och neurala nätverk kan bäst förutspå den korrekta hjälpen en användare är i behov av och med vilken noggrannhet? Och (2) Vad är effekten på produktivitet och kundnöjdhet för användandet av maskininlärning för sortering av kundbehov? Data samlades från ett stort, digitalt företags interna databas och används sedan i träning och testning med de tre klassificeringsalgoritmerna. Vidare, en enkät skickades ut med fokus på att förstå hur det nuvarande systemet påverkar de berörda arbetarna. Ett första fynd indikerar att neurala nätverk är den mest lämpade modellen för klassificeringen. Däremot, när omfånget och komplexiteten var begränsat presenterade även naive Bayes och logistisk regression tillräckligt. Ett andra fynd av studien är att klassificeringen potentiellt förbättrar produktiviteten givet att baslinjen är mött. Däremot existerar en svårighet i att dra slutsatser om den exakta effekten på kundnöjdhet eftersom det finns många olika aspekter att ta hänsyn till. Likväl finns en god potential i att uppnå en positiv nettoeffekt.
