▼ Three categories of meta-analysis methods can be used to summarize diagnostic accuracy measures (FPF, TPF) of a single test across studies: the bivariate normal model, the hierarchical summary ROC (HSROC) model, and the beta-binomial model with bivariate copulas. This thesis generalizes these methods to network meta-analysis (NMA), in which the evidence network of multiple tests consists of single test and comparative studies of two or more tests performed on the same subjects, with complete cross-tables or only marginal counts. We review concepts and models that motivate our approaches to NMA of diagnostic accuracy studies in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, we propose a shared-parameter modeling framework for incorporating all available information in the networks of diagnostic accuracy studies with mixed study-types (single-, paired-, and triplet-test studies), with and without complete cross-tables. We then extend the bivariate normal model and decompose the underlying true and false positive fractions for each test on the logit scale into components that represent their overall average across study-types for each test, study-type specific effects to reflect inconsistency, and within-study-type random effects. In Chapter 3, we extend the HSROC model and decompose the study-level positivity and accuracy parameters into test-specific effects representing overall mean positivity and accuracy parameters for each test across study-types, study-type specific effects to reflect inconsistency, and within-study-type random effects to adjust for residual randomness. In Chapter 4, we model the observed number of subjects with true and false positive results of a test using beta-binomial marginal distributions, decompose the underlying FPFs and TPFs similar to Chapter 2 but on their original scale, and account for the dependence structure using multivariate Gaussian copulas. We test the consistency among different direct and indirect sources of evidence in the network, estimate the summary points and summary ROC curves and compare tests, using the example of a network of studies of three prenatal ultrasounds markers for detecting Down syndrome. We summarize conclusions in Chapter 5 and compare the three approaches discussed in this thesis.

▼ With the significant growth in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the past two decades, both investment managers and policy makers are keen to know the factors determining the location of FDI. The eclectic theory, while being the most popular and dominant theories in international investment, failed to fully capture the behavioral dynamics of international investment. For instance, FDI location decisions sometimes concern the certain social or political relationships between the home and host countries such as “cultural ties”. And firms’ international partners and competitors’ investment decisions impact their decisions as well. FDI thus is thus progressively realized by researchers being a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon and FDI theories also gradually moved from the economics domain towards the new interdisciplinary field of international business, which is more concerned with firm strategy. Bandelj and Uzzi proposed a “relational approach” and “embeddedness view” respectively to explain the FDI location choice from a firm strategic perspective. The common point of the two views is that they see FDI as a dyadic relation between home and host parties, and assume that the formation of investment relation occurs through certain ways of relationship and connectivity. Even though FDI has been recognized as a relational phenomenon, few studies have provided properly quantitative results mainly due to data scarcity and analysis tools constraints. In this study I interpret FDI as a linkage that firms in their home country establish with their host and aim to understand how a FDI linkage is formed through the effects of relationship and connectivity. The study issues are addressed in the three chapters in the thesis by relying on Social Network Analysis (SNA). Cross-border M&A transaction data during the period of 1997 - 2001 in the international electricity industry among 38 countries are selected as data samples for the analysis. Analyses reported in these three papers provide empirical evidence in support of the view that the formation of FDI linkages is through connectivity and cultural relationship mechanisms.

▼ Inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is of profound importance in the ?eld of computational biology and bioinformatics. Understanding the gene-gene and gene- transcription factor (TF) interactions has the potential of providing an insight into the complex biological processes taking place in cells. High-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies have enabled the collection of large amounts of data in order to quantify the gene expressions and mapping DNA-protein interactions. This dissertation investigates the problem of network component analysis (NCA) which estimates the transcription factor activities (TFAs) and gene-TF interactions by making use of gene expression and Chip-chip data. Closed-form solutions are provided for estimation of TF-gene connectivity matrix which yields advantage over the existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of lower computational complexity and higher consistency. We present an iterative reweighted ?2 norm based algorithm to infer the network connectivity when the prior knowledge about the connections is incomplete. We present an NCA algorithm which has the ability to counteract the presence of outliers in the gene expression data and is therefore more robust. Closed-form solutions are derived for the estimation of TFAs and TF-gene interactions and the resulting algorithm is comparable to the fastest algorithms proposed so far with the additional advantages of robustness to outliers and higher reliability in the TFA estimation. Finally, we look at the inference of gene regulatory networks which which essentially resumes to the estimation of only the gene-gene interactions. Gene networks are known to be sparse and therefore an inference algorithm is proposed which imposes a sparsity constraint while estimating the connectivity matrix.The online estimation lowers the computational complexity and provides superior performance in terms of accuracy and scalability. This dissertation presents gene regulatory network inference algorithms which provide computationally efficient solutions in some very crucial scenarios and give advantage over the existing algorithms and therefore provide means to give better understanding of underlying cellular network. Hence, it serves as a building block in the accurate estimation of gene regulatory networks which will pave the way for ?nding cures to genetic diseases.

▼ Networks provide a natural and powerful way to model complex real-world systems in various domains. Studying structure of a network can help extract functional knowledge about the corresponding system. As real-world networks exhibit non-trivial organization at many scales, this extraction can be done on different levels: from the global perspective of the whole network to the intermediate perspective of node groups (or communities) to the local perspective of individual nodes. With new technological advances, the amount of available real-world network data in different domains rapidly increases. In addition, networks are growing in size and complexity. For example, whereas traditional network data has been static, because it has become easier to record system evolution, more of dynamic network data is becoming available. For these reasons, it is critical to develop novel computational strategies for efficient extraction of functional information from the structure of such complex (e.g., dynamic) networks. And this is the main focus of this dissertation. We achieve this goal in two different ways, by: 1) answering novel research questions via established network approaches, and 2) developing novel network approaches for established research questions. In the first context, we apply global network analysis to answer a novel question in a novel domain in which network research has not been used to date – interpreting affective physiological data. In addition, we employ local network analysis to study the interplay between individuals’ social interactions and traits from a new dynamic (rather than traditional static) network viewpoint. In the second context, we take a well-established local analysis approach for static networks to develop a novel method for the problem of link prediction, which we use for de-noising biological networks. Moreover, we take the same static local approach and develop new theory for dynamic network analysis. We demonstrate that accounting for temporal information helps and use our method to study human aging from biological networks. Finally, we introduce a new approach for studying dynamic networks from the intermediate perspective, which deals with the problem of segment community detection. We show that our approach outperforms existing methods in terms of both accuracy and computational complexity.

▼ In policy processes large numbers of actors who hold various forms of scientific and technical information, beliefs, and values interact with each other in political and institutional contexts. The purpose of this study is to investigate the complex policy processes in the health policy area in Illinois, using two theoretical lenses: the policy network theory (PNT) and the advocacy coalition framework (ACF). The PNT helps us understand the complex networked relationships among the actors of public policy processes. The ACF helps us explore more specifically the belief systems of network actors and the roles such beliefs play in policy network formation and policy change. Using the PNT and the ACF frameworks, in this dissertation I examined the policy network characteristics and policy changes in the case of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in Illinois from 1997 to 2007. In my study I used AutoMap, a network analyses tool, and ORA, a dynamic network analysis tool. Using this combination of methods, I extracted meta-networks from the newspaper articles on the SCHIP process in Illinois and analyzed them to identify the policy networks and subnetworks (subgroups) and the values attached to these subgroups. I first discuss the background of the Illinois SCHIP policy process and the theoretical frameworks I applied in my study (PNT and ACF). After describing and discussing the analytical tools I used (AutoMap and ORA), I present the findings on the structural characteristics of policy networks in the Illinois SCHIP policy process. Next I present the results of a series of cluster analyses, which revealed the groups of actors who formed the advocacy policy coalitions, and compare these results with the predictions of the ACF. I found that in the SCHIP Illinois case and in the period I studied the predictions of ACF were only partially confirmed: I could identify some pro- and against- policy coalitions, but their membership or the values attached to them were not consistent between 1997 and 2007. Instead, ORA identified the clusters of networks (subnetworks) of policy actors and their beliefs. I conclude that in interpreting the findings it is better to use the relatively broader term of “policy issue networks” or “policy issue coalitions,” instead of the ACF’s more specific term of “advocacy coalitions.” My dissertation makes a contribution to the policy literature by introducing innovative methods of network text analysis (AutoMap) and dynamic network analysis (ORA) to identify policy networks and subnetworks in texts. It also makes a contribution by presenting an understanding of the interplay between key policy actors and their beliefs and network characteristics. The methods applied in this dissertation may be used in future studies on policy processes and the findings may be compared with those of future studies to gain a better understanding of policy networks.

▼ The Anthropocene is a contested term. As I conceptualize it throughout this dissertation, the Anthropocene is defined by an increased coupling of social and environmental systems at the global scale such that the by-products of human processes dominate the global stratigraphic record. Additionally, I connect the term to a worldview that sees this increased coupling as an existential threat to humanity's ability to sustain life on the planet. Awareness that the planet-wide scale of this coupling is fundamentally a new element in earth history is implicit in both understandings. How individuals and communities are impacted by this change varies greatly depending on a host of locally specific cross-scale factors. The range of scales (physical and social) that must be negotiated to manage these impacts places novel demands on the communication networks that shape human agency. Concern for how these demands are being met, and whose interests are being served in doing so, are the primary motivation for my research. My work is grounded in the communication-oriented theoretical traditions of media ecology and the more recent social-ecological system conceptualizations promoted in the study of resilience. I combine these ideas through a mixed methodology of digital ethnography and social network analysis to explore the communication dynamics of four Alaska-based social-ecological systems. The first two examples capture communication networks that formed in response to singular, rapid change environmental events (a coastal storm and river flood). The latter two map communication networks that have formed in response to more diffuse, slower acting environmental changes (a regional webinar series and an international arctic change conference). In each example, individuals or organizations enter and exit the mapped network(s) as they engage in the issue and specific communication channel being observed. Under these parameters a cyclic pattern of network expansion and contraction is identified. Expansion events are heavily influenced by established relationships retained during previous contraction periods. Many organizational outreach efforts are focused on triggering and participating in expansion events, however my observations highlight the role of legacy networks in system change. I suggest that for organizations interested in fostering sustainable socialecological relationships in the Anthropocene, strategic intervention may best be accomplished through careful consideration of how communicative relationships are maintained immediately following and in between expansion events. In the final sections of my dissertation I present a process template to support organizations interested in doing so. I include a complete set of learning activities to facilitate organizational use as well as examples of how the Alaska Native Knowledge Network is currently applying the process to meet their unique organizational needs.

▼ Social movements (SMs) are common, yet complex phenomenon of study, generating eclectic and even conflicting perspectives on what actually constitutes a SM. This notion points towards the need of an inclusive framework that attempts to talk with rather than past conflicting perspectives. The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a hybrid theoretical framework that incorporates three SM perspectives: (1) SMs as aggregates, (2) SMs as networks, and (3) SMs as symbolic interactions. I argue that a framework of SMs as networks communication episodes (CAMs) is one way to build a successful hybrid approach, arguing that SMs consist of relationships between and within actors and events. In order to put the CAM framework to use, I used multidimensional exponential random graph modeling (MERGM) to analyze four different SMS: (1) 1970s US Energy Policy Domain, (2) 1970s US Health Policy Domain, (3) 1980s Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland, and (4) 1980s US Labor Policy Domain. Multidimensional network simulation was used to determine which organizing patterns correlate to instrumental and expressive theories of collective action and MERGM was used to uncover the dominant multidimensional organizing patterns in the empirical data behind each SM. Results revealed that most collective action events were organized by single organizations across all four SMs and that the Polish SM was the only movement out of the four that contain positive estimates of parameters conducive to network theories of collective action. Based on these results, a working model of factors that are theorized to influence the CAM structure is proposed, along with an application to the Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland and anti-Three Mile Island nuclear power plant mobilization. Moreover, based on different patterns in the CAM framework, a typology of different modes of organizing for collective action is developed, challenging a recent and common perspective of collective action as either organized or un-organized.

Objective: The aim of this thesis was to explore methodological aspects related to network meta-analysis, especially in oncology field. For the purposes of this analysis, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) was used as an example, where the combination of Cisplatin plus Etoposide (EP) is currently the standard treatment.Methods PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials weresystematically searched to identify all RCTs that compared treatments for SCLC. Then,effectiveness of the treatments relative to the combination of Cisplatin plus Etoposide,reference treatment) was estimated by performing a network of treatments analysis, using both Bayesian and frequentist approaches.Results We identified 71 articles eligible for inclusion, involving 91 different treatments. In total, 16,026 patients were included in the analysis. Frequentist analysis (direct) revealed combination of Cisplatin plus Cyclophosphamide plus Etoposide plus Epirubicin showed better response than EP for the ORR outcome, but with worse tolerability. Indirect analysis revealed that the combination of Cisplatin plus Doxorubicin plus Etoposide (plus Vincrisitine) showed better response that EP for the ORR outcome. Bayesian analysis revealed that the combination of carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide with granulocytecolony stimulating factor (GCSF) provides higher probability of achieving ORR compared to other treatments.Conclusions The results should be interpreted with caution because the network wasdominated by indirect comparisons. Large scale head-to-head RCTs are needed to confirm the present findings. Bayesian and frequentist approaches should be considered complementary tools in the clinical evaluator's toolkit.

This thesis consists of two related studies presented as three separate manuscripts (all three have been published in peer-reviewed journals) and a study protocol that has been submitted for peer-reviewed funding. The over-arching theme of this thesis was to better characterize the efficacy of different intravenous fluids used for the resuscitation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. We performed an extensive search including multiple databases which found 20 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the effects of different intravenous fluids used in septic patients and met our a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the first manuscript, we described in detail the composition of the 19 unique fluid products that were used in the various studies. This description included the fluid type, trade name, osmolality, tonicity, electrolyte content, molecular composition, pH, and manufacturer. We reviewed manufacturer’s websites, product monographs, and emailed industry representatives or study authors for more information regarding the fluids as required. The results of this study and systematic review led us to the second and third manuscripts which reported on a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) of all fluid type comparisons. Despite multiple well-done RCTs, comparative data regarding the clinical effect of different resuscitative fluids when used for sepsis was incomplete. Most RCTs used 0.9% saline (normal saline) as control fluid and very few studies compared colloids directly. The advantage of using an NMA model in this setting was the ability to include indirect data into the overall point estimates. Data was abstracted from the 14 studies which focused on adult ICU patients and analyzed examining the outcomes of mortality (manuscript2) and the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) (manuscript #3). Certainty of evidence was evaluated for both outcomes using the GRADE approach. Results of the analysis clearly document the harm of starch-based fluids when used in septic patients. Albumin containing fluids and crystalloids (such as normal saline and Ringer’s Lactate) are better options. Lower chloride solutions, such as Ringer’s Lactate, showed a signal towards decreased mortality and a decreased use of renal replacement therapy when compared to higher chloride fluids, such as normal saline, however this was based on indirect data, not statistically significant, and warrants direct comparison trials. The final component of this thesis is a pilot study protocol for a study assessing the feasibility of a larger RCT examining the effect of low chloride versus high chloride fluids for resuscitation in patients with sepsis and septic shock. This protocol has been submitted as part of a peer-reviewed grant with the hopes of addressing this clinically important and timely question.

▼ The Medicago sativa complex comprises several morphologically and genetically diverse diploid and autopolyploid taxa, including autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa (M. sativa subsp. sativa). Its members can be divided into three morphological groups: M. sativa subsp. caerulea and subsp. sativa with blue flowers and coiled pods, subsp. falcata with yellow flowers with falcate pods, and subsp. glomerata with yellow flowers and coiled pods; each group contains both diploid and tetraploid cytotypes. Although alfalfa is well studied, closely related tetraploids and their hypothesized diploid progenitors have received much less study. Questions regarding their relationships, their controversial taxonomy, and autopolyploid evolution remain to be addressed. Genetic variation and differentiation were estimated, and phylogenetic and network relationships were constructed based on nucleotide sequences from the mitochondrial genome for the diploid members of the complex, and from chloroplast and nuclear genomes for both the diploid and tetraploid members. Independent perspectives on the species' evolutionary history were afforded because each genome has a different inheritance pattern. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, chloroplast DNA is biparentally, but largely paternally inherited, and nuclear DNA is biparentally inherited. At the diploid level, subsp. caerulea is genetically differentiated from diploid subsp. falcata for chloroplast haplotypes and nuclear alleles, although there are some shared haplotypes and alleles probably due to limited gene flow. Data from mitochondrial haplotypes, however, show no differentiation between the two diploids, which is likely due to bidirectional introgression of the mitochondrial genome. At the tetraploid level, genetic differentiation was found between subsp. sativa and tetraploid subsp. falcata in both the chloroplast and nuclear genomes. Although chloroplast data support a simple autopolyploid origin of subsp. sativa from diploid subsp. caerulea, a contrasting history involving past introgression from closely related M. prostrata is suggested for tetraploid subsp. falcata, raising questions about its autopolyploid origin. Nuclear data, however, show that tetraploid falcata most likely has originated from diploid falcata through autopolyploidy in a similar pattern to that of subsp. sativa. Despite the existence of hybrids, gene flow and introgression are limited and morphologically and genetically distinctive subspecies persist.

▼ Introduction: In the U.S., HIV acquisition risk is highest among men who have sex with men (MSM). Syndemics, psychosocial problems that interact with each other and poor health behavior, are additively associated with increased condomless anal sex, HIV incidence, and HIV prevalence among MSM. However, information about how these syndemics interrelate with each other is under-explored. Methods: To examine the associations between nine syndemics in 194 MSM at high risk of HIV acquisition, we examined bivariate polychoric correlations, and then compared exploratory factor analyses (EFA) to a network analysis. Syndemics were assessed by self-report measures. Network analyses (presented graphically) consist of variables, called nodes, and the partial associations between variables, called edges. This regularized network employed the graphical LASSO algorithm and Extended Bayesian Information Criteria with a hyperparameter of γ=.5 to produce a graphically parsimonious yet sensitive network. Results: Correlation analyses revealed many associations between syndemics, but this was not always the case. EFA suggested that the 1-, 2-, and 3-factor solutions were possible based on various methods for determining potential factor solutions. However, the 1-factor solution appeared to be the most appropriate for these data, in which suicidal ideation (SI), injection drug use (IDU), depression, social anxiety, intimate partner violence, substance use, and sexual compulsivity had substantial loadings (≥.30). A pattern of interconnectedness emerged in this network analysis, which revealed that the relationships (absolute edge weights) between SI and IDU (b=.52, SD=.22, 95% CI[.17, .93]), IDU and substance use (b=.41, SD=.18, 95% CI[.18, .85]), social anxiety and SI (b=.30, SD=.36, 95% CI[.06, .77]), and depression and SI (b=.27, SD=.14, 95% CI[.05, .62]), were all significant. The most central nodes were SI, IDU, substance use, and depression. Discussion: This is the first study to compare network analysis to EFA in syndemics. It is also one of the earliest studies to conduct a network analysis of syndemics to describe the interrelatedness of conditions, beyond additive associations. Network analysis may be methodologically preferable to EFA in examining the interrelatedness of syndemics because it provides measures of centrality, which can potentially indicate the conditions that drive increased HIV acquisition risk, and lends itself to a visual presentation of the interrelatedness among these intertwined problems. This study therefore has the potential to provide better understanding of the ways in which syndemics, among high-risk MSM, interrelate and, subsequently, affect health behavior.

▼ Studies of American revolutionaries often focus on their ideologies and politics, and while this approach is quite useful, the actions of this cohort can also be understood in terms of social networks. Recent works on the founding fathers, while employing the literature of social history, are still biographies that make men the center of the narrative and often ignore larger social trends. An important figure among revolutions, John Jay, provides an opportunity to look beyond biography and instead focus on the networks in which he was engaged. This approach allows for a more expansive view of how individuals and events together shape history. This project also examines the transatlantic realities of the American Revolution, and the founding of the United States.; I argue that Jay understood the value of these networks, and used them to his advantage. This dissertation reconstructs the social networks of John Jay from his graduation from King's College in 1764 to his retirement from politics in 1801. I use formal network analysis and visualization tools to create network models, specifically egocentric networks, in order to understand the web of relationships that defined Jay's world and influenced history. The formal investigation of Jay's networks offers an opportunity to examine his manipulation of those networks.; Many of the benefits of applying social network analysis were not unexpected. People and groups that had previously been marginalized or trivialized were highlighted as integral to Jay. This work sheds light on the significance of these individuals who influenced Jay throughout his career. Another important result of this approach revealed that no singular individual was responsible for writings, ideas, and events. Using network theory, it became clear that the instructions that Alexander Hamilton gave to Jay for this peace mission were, in fact, created by a number of Federalists in private discussions before the meeting. Network theory also helped to clarify Jay's agency in the negotiations themselves.; Several limitations of applying network analysis to historical study were revealed in this research. The datasets are large and require an extensive amount of investigation. Applying network data analysis to historical research challenges the writer to integrate both into a coherent understanding of the impact of relationships and events. This approach is fairly non-traditional among academics, but the practice of integrating social network analysis into historical study is a worthy pursuit.

▼ Large-scale gene expression studies are widely used to identify genes that are differentially expressed between phenotypes relevant to disease. Often thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are found using this type of analysis, which complicates the interpretation of the data. In this project we treat DEGs as windows into the biological processes that underlie disease. In order to find these processes, we put DEGs into the context in which they perform their functions - through the interactions of their protein products. Protein-protein interactions can provide biological context to DEGs in the form of functional modules. These modules are groups of proteins that together perform cellular functions. In this thesis we have refined a functional module detection process that consists of two steps. Firstly, community detection methods are applied to protein interaction networks (PINs) to detect groups of interacting proteins, and secondly, the biological coherence of the proteins grouped together is evaluated to select communities that represent potential functional modules. Two features that are central to this work are the detection of modules at different scales of network organization, and CommWalker, a module evaluation method that we developed which is able to detect signals of poorly-studied functions. By integrating these methods into our functional module detection process, we were able to obtain a good coverage of potential functional modules. Testing for enrichment of DEGs on these functional modules can uncover biological processes that are involved in the contrasted phenotypes and merit further investigation. We have applied our pipeline to find differentially regulated functions between hypoxic and normoxic breast cancer cell lines, and between M1 and M2 macrophages. Our results generate biological hypotheses of cellular functions that are differentially regulated in the investigated phenotypes, and proteins that are involved in these functions. We were able to validate several proteins in enriched modules which did not correspond to DEGs that were input into the pipeline, which suggests our methodology can reveal new biological insight.

▼ Many models attempting to characterize the neural correlates of cognition focus on localizing functions, but few address the question of how the localized regions take part in the network as a whole. Models of language in the brain have existed for nearly 150 years and most fall into this category. While early research was limited to postmortem studies of pathology, the advent of neuroimaging has allowed researchers to investigate brain function in vivo and in healthy populations as well as those with pathology. Even with this advance, many researchers have still largely focused on localization of function. Recently, there has been a paradigmatic shift from activation-based to connectivity-based analyses of neuroimaging data, emphasizing investigation of how different brain regions interact. When conceptualizing the brain as a network, some regions emerge as important for communication between functionally specialized neural populations. These areas are known as connector hubs. While connector hubs have been acknowledged for several years, they are rarely characterized, especially in the context of a specific cognitive function. The current study aims to characterize connector hubs in the pediatric language network, observe their developmental trajectory, and assess their relationship with age-corrected language performance. Data from an existing study were used that included neuroimaging (MRI, fMRI, diffusion MRI or dMRI, MEG) and standardized language assessment (EVT) data for 15 young children (4-6 years) and 15 adolescents (16-18 years). A data-driven, connectivity-based pipeline was developed to characterize connector hubs during an expressive language task. After initial preprocessing, connectivity matrices were calculated for MEG (functional) and dMRI (structural) data. Functional connectivity was calculated using amplitude-amplitude correlation (AAC) within and between 4 different frequency bins (2-4, 4-12, 12-30, 30-100 Hz) to capture intra- and inter- frequency connectivity. Each functional connectivity matrix was then multiplied (entry-wise) by a threholded and binarized structural connectivity matrix to keep only biologically-plausible connections. Finally, the matrices were combined into a multilayer network and graph analyses were performed to identify connector hubs. Results showed good overlap of connector hubs with vetted fMRI-derived maps, though the current pipeline was more consistent across individuals. Additionally, connector hub distribution became more left lateralized, cortical, and focal, with age. Connector hubs in regions thought to be involved in expressive language were significantly correlated with EVT performance in adolescents but not young children. Overall, the results suggest that the expressive language network becomes more focal and efficient during development, a process potentially mediated by central and subcortical regions. Comprehensive characterization of connector hubs and how they change during childhood has important clinical and computational applications.

▼ The study is mainly divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the factors which the students are in accordance with to choose their social relationships. The second part then deals with how the changed social networks influence studentsâ academic achievements. The previous studies related to in-class social relationship often focused on analysis of friendship network. In addition to friendship network, this study includes another important in-class social networkâ âacademic advice network.â This study collected data of social network and academic grades twice from students in a selected senior high school which focuses on college entrance examination in Tainan. The analysis in first part reveals that students would construct friendships with those who hold similar academic performances and attributes in the pretest with them. However in the advice network, students would choose those who got better grades in midterm as their suitable advisers. Simultaneously, existing friendships and considerations of information reciprocity would also improve a studentâs odds of being chosen as an adviser. The result displays that motivations of constructing friendship network and advice network are two kinds of very different mechanisms. The previous studies which only focused on in-class friendship would oversimplify the conclusions. The analysis in second part then discusses whether the constructed âsocial relationshipsâ and the ânetwork structure positionsâ which they are in would influence their academic achievements. The result reveals that academic grades of a studentâs friends and classmates whom he had academic communication with would not spill over into his own via social interaction. Concurrently, the one who received much academic advice from others denotes higher outdegree centrality in academic advice network, but further, the one would not benefit himself on academic achievements. Nonetheless, the one who gave much academic advice denotes higher indegree centrality, and the one would then benefit his final. This study tries to propose the potential theoretical explanations on this phenomenon. Advisors/Committee Members: Thijs Velema (chair), Ko-Hua Yap (committee member), Wan-Chi Chen (chair).
