▼ 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.

▼ A primary focus of
social network analysis
(SNA) is to understand actor attributes from
social structures in a
network. It is an interdisciplinary research topic of statistics,
sociology, graph theories, and computer sciences. Despite its
popularity in other fields, SNA is under-utilized in psychological
and educational research. This is largely due to the lack of
easy-to-use models and user-friendly software. To fill the gap,
this dissertation proposes three models for SNA under an extended
structural equation modeling (SEM) framework. The first model is a
latent space model with a factor structure. In this model, a
social
network is the outcome variable and the model intends to identify
covariates predicting a
network. As a generalization of the first
model, the second model focuses on
social networks with ordinal
relations among actors. A Probit regression model is used to study
the association of an ordinal
social network and covariates. Both
models are estimated using a two-stage maximum likelihood (ML)
method. The performance of the two-stage ML method is assessed
through Monte Carlo simulation studies. Simulation results show
that the two-stage ML method can recover both model parameters and
standard errors. The third model is a mediation model with a
social
network as a mediator. In this model, a latent space model is used
to extract underlying factors of a
social network, which directly
participate in the causal process between two variables. To
estimate the model, a Bayesian estimation method is used and its
performance is evaluated through a simulation study. The usefulness
of three models is demonstrated in analyzing a friendship
network
data set.

▼ Over the past years online social networks have become a major target for marketing strategies, generating a need for methods to efficiently spread information through these networks. Close knit communities have developed on these platforms through groups of users connecting with like minded individuals. In this thesis we use data pulled from Twitter's API and from simulations designed to mirror the Twitter network to pursue an in depth analysis of the network structure and influence of these communities. Through this analysis we draw several conclusions. First, the influence of users in these communities is correlated to the total number of followers in their neighborhood. Second, influential communities tend to be more tightly clustered than other areas of the network. Using these observations, we develop an algorithm to detect influential communities in Twitter and show that correctly prioritizing connections yields significant gains in message visibility.

▼ Much structured data of scientific interest can be
represented as networks, where sets of nodes or vertices are joined
together in pairs by links or edges. Although these networks may
belong to different research areas, there is one property that many
of them do have in common: the network community structure, which
means that there exists densely connected groups of vertices, with
only sparser connections between groups. The main goal of community
mining is to discover these communities in social networks or other
similar information network environments. We face many deficiencies
in current community structure discovery methods. First, one
similarity metric is typically applied in all networks, without
considering the differences in network and application
characteristics. Second, many existing methods assume the network
information is fully available, and one node only belongs to one
cluster. However, in reality, a social network can be huge thus it
is hard to access the complete network. It is also common for
social entities to belong to multiple communities. Finally,
relations between entities are hard to understand in heterogeneous
social networks, where multiple types of relations and entities
exist. Therefore, the thesis of this research is to tackle these
community mining problems, in order to discover and evaluate
community structures in social networks from various
aspects.

▼ A growing body of research has examined emergent
leadership within groups. Emergent leadership is defined as a
process during which some individuals, over time and through
social
interaction, are recognized and accepted as leaders by the group.
Interestingly, although there is much theorizing about how
leadership emerges and about the individual characteristics
facilitating the emergence of leaders, there is still very little
about knowledge about this particular dynamic
social process, and
this is especially true if we expand our view of leadership beyond
the leader-follower dyad. To refine our understanding of leadership
emergence, I built my investigations on previous research on
Distributed Leadership which recommends the use of
social network
analysis to study how leadership may be shared among several
individuals. By envisioning leadership as a
network of perceptions,
where nodes and ties represent actors and leadership nominations
respectively, a complex and multi-level representation of
leadership is gathered. While
social network analysis has been
successfully applied to study distributed leadership using a
cross-sectional approach, leadership emergence occurs over time and
an
analysis of this phenomenon would benefit from the use of a
longitudinal perspective. I therefore collected leadership networks
over several periods of time and used SIENA, a novel multilevel
statistical procedure for longitudinal
analysis of
social networks,
to examine, through three manuscripts, (i) How emergent leaders are
the result of group processes?, (ii) Do emergent leaders perceive
themselves as leaders? and (iii) Are emergent leaders emotionally
intelligence?

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ Transnational global interactions observed through activities such as international voting
measures, trade transactions and participations in alliances have historically provided
researchers an opportunity to analyze international relations (IR) amongst national actors
within the global power structure. In addition to these traditional macro-level global
interactions, the recent emergence of
social media has ushered in a new era of global
connectivity amongst individual people throughout the world, thus enabling micro-level
global interactions. This thesis provides a more holistic view of global international
relations by capturing both macro-level and micro-level global interactions and viewing
them as comparable networks. By using
social network analysis (SNA) tools to detect
emergent communities within networks, this thesis directly compared the community
structure of two macro-level networks (United Nations General Assemble (UNGA)
voting records and arms trade transaction networks) and one
social media micro-level
network (e.g. Twitter). The UNGA macro-level voting
network served as a measure of
validation for this approach by properly showing East-West geopolitical divisions during
the Cold War and a North-South socio-economic division following the Cold War. The
micro-level Twitter
network was created from tweets harvested from conversations about
the Ukrainian crisis from the initial Euromaidan protests in November 2013 through June
2014, which included the annexation of Crimea by Russia. The community detection
results for the micro-level Ukrainian Twitter
network shared the greatest similarity (0.42
on a 0-1 scale) with the UNGA Cold War community results. This result suggests that
Ukrainian citizens did not shed their historical cultural roots that aligned themselves with
the Cold War East-West geopolitical structure. Additionally, a further
analysis evaluating
the level of cooperation between the NATO alliance and Ukraine showed that there exists
very little evidence of cooperation between the two entities in either the micro-level or
macro-level networks.

▼ The social movements shed light on dynamic practice of
civic education to encourage students to be an actor in political
arena, and transform the sense of conventional civic education into
criticism-oriented one. The series of uprisings, the Occupy
movements and demonstrations sprang up across North America, and
the Arab World in the last couple of years. In Asia, there are
three salient social movements launched by young generation in
2014, including the Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong, the Sunflower
Movement in Taiwan, and the Return Our CPF Protest in Singapore.
Young generation finds alternatives to challenge traditional norms
by disobeying governmental decisions to express the demand of
social reform. These series of social movements can be identified
as the wave of E-Democracy that social media not only broaden
people’s political space and produce participation in public
affairs, but also bring innovative tactics to different forms of
regimes. Compared to authoritarian regimes, the social movements in
three quasi-democratic regimes of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore
have broader public space for citizens to engage in public affairs.
However, the rooted culture of Confucian meritocracy and filial
piety potentially makes these three Asian states depart from
liberal democracy. This study applied social network analysis to
Twitter and Facebook data to take centrality, subgroup, and
hierarchy analyses as a whole to explore the pattern of civic
network in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. The findings show that
civic networks in Hong Kong and Taiwan have similar traits that
there is a group of actors with high centrality and multiplex
clusters with dense interconnection within networks. Relatively,
only few actors in Singapore can play a bridging role that
activists or protesters are a small group of like-minded citizens
who are affiliated to homogenous clusters. Civic networks in Hong
Kong and Taiwan are toward horizontal linkages across different
bonding of citizens, while civic network in Singapore is more
likely to be hierarchical structure that symbolizes power control
and network cohesiveness. The hierarchical network is exclusive of
diverse clusters and may be incapable of adapting to unexpected
disruption or exogenous pressure. However, the analyses also
indicate that three civic networks are still affiliated to
relatively homogenous clusters instead of truly diverse clustering.
As these three states are all identified as quasi-democratic
regimes, governments potentially discourage citizens from any kind
of opposition and people are more sensitive to social movement.
This context may explain how rooted Chinese culture potentially
makes three networks toward hierarchical structure at large, even
though the result indicates that Singapore network is the most
hierarchical one. In addition, these quasi-democratic regimes may
not fulfill students’ capacities for civic commitments, but lead to
significant gaps between curriculum and practice. As students were
major populations involving in these social movements,…

2017With the growth of the Information age, the common man has
access to people and information around the world to unprecedented
levels than ever before. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype, and
countless other applications allow people from all corners of world
to stay in contact with each other on a daily basis. The Internet
gives the common individual access to more information on companies
and products than at any other time in human history. Because of
this dynamic, it becomes more important for a company to realize
its public imagine with the customers they serve and the global
community. Corporate
Social Responsibly (CSR) today makes up a
significant amount of public image for many of the world’s
corporations. The dangers that companies’ face in public imagine
are growing with the access to information; corporations have to
increasingly become conscious of where the money or volunteerism
they donate is going to. To be associated with unpopular Non-profit
organizations or those with questionable history in delivering
services, can quickly lead to backlash against the corporations
that fund their activities.

▼ The challenges facing our communities are complex,
interconnected, and urgent (Kania & Kramer, 2011). Recognizing
these challenges, policy makers, funders, and practitioners are
turning to
social partnerships as a promising strategy for
community and educational change (Bess, 2015; Henig et al., 2015).
Social partnerships involve the joining together of organizations
from across sectors of society to tackle
social problems (Crane
& Seitanidi, 2014). The underlying premise of the Promise
Neighborhoods program, one such
social partnership, is that
providing access to resources, services, and supports in a
comprehensive manner will have the greatest effect on educational
and community outcomes (U.S. Department of Education, 2018). This
study seeks to shed light on the process of initiating and
implementing a
social partnership. In this study the author
employed a two-phased, mixed methods design using
social network
analysis and interviews with organizational representatives to
examine the
network structures of communication and collaboration
within one Promise Neighborhoods initiative: the Boston Promise
Initiative. The sample for the
social network analysis consisted of
33 individuals from 27 partner organizations. Further, follow-up
interviews with 11 individuals were held to understand how
network
structures and processes might impact educational and community
change. Findings from the
social network analysis and qualitative
interviews reveal networks of communication and collaboration
rooted in a deep history of place-based change efforts,
facilitating access to
network resources and
social capital among
partner organizations. The findings highlight the importance of
recognizing both challenges and opportunities of partnering with
schools. Further, the findings highlight the importance of a lead
organization’s ability to attend to both technical processes, such
as facilitating communication among partners, and cultural
processes, such as negotiating organizational identity. Taken
together, the findings from this study point to the complex nature
of cross-sector collaboration and identify structural factors and
network processes that may impact the success of the efforts. By
better understanding the structure and processes inherent in
social
partnerships, organizations can be better supported as they develop
and implement cross-sector initiatives aimed at making meaningful
change in their communities.

▼ This thesis explores the dynamics of knowledge sharing, through the context of interorganisational
collaboration in the public sector. The growth of collaboration across
public sector organisations places increasing importance on knowledge sharing, yet it is
an area that has historically proved difficult for the sector. Knowledge sharing research
increasingly emphasises the importance of
social capital in facilitating and influencing
knowledge sharing behaviours, yet the public sector’s approach to knowledge sharing
has predominantly focussed on the use of information and communication technology
(ICT) tools. The aim of this research is to better understand the dynamics of knowledge
sharing, and the roles that
social capital and ICT play in knowledge sharing.
This is a contemporary and important research topic. Public sector commitment to
increasing collaboration requires a strong focus on inter-organisational knowledge
sharing. This multiple-case, multi-method research incorporates a research design that
blends qualitative and quantitative data collection and
analysis. The research extends
and deepens current understanding of the dynamics of knowledge sharing and
contributes to the existing body of knowledge in the areas of knowledge sharing,
social
capital, and ICT. It also provides valuable empirical evidence relating to public sector
based sharing at the inter-organisational level.
The research found that
social capital is a significant concern for collaborative teams.
Factors such as trust, group identity and shared purpose and goals were identified as
important considerations for team members. Despite the sector’s focus on ICT tools as
key knowledge sharing mechanisms, the actual availability of tools was limited. Further,
individuals’ use of tools was low due to their perceptions of the available tools as
difficult to use and of limited usefulness.
A key outcome of the research was the development of a conceptual framework that can
be used to support the work of academics and practitioners engaged in the field of
collaboration and knowledge sharing. The framework identifies six important
antecedents that influence the development of
social capital, and the availability and use
of ICT. These antecedents include collaboration design, leadership, the perceived ease
of use and perceived usefulness of ICT, and individual technical ability. The final
antecedent identifies individual’s commitment to the ‘intrinsic value of public sector
work’ as a key collaboration factor.

▼ What drives the propensity for the
social
network dynamics?
Social influence is believed to drive both
off-line and on-line human behavior, however it has not been
considered as a driver of
social network evolution. To answer this
question, we integrate microscopic and macroscopic
analysis that
describe the connection between
social influence and
network
dynamics and validate our proposition through several important
applications. At microscopic level, we test whether or not the
dynamics of individuals embedded in
social networks can be
attributed to the effects of
social influence. Influence based
methods are demonstrated to be able to accurately predict future
node degree centrality and novel links. At macroscopic level, we
also examine whether several promulgated macroscopic properties of
social networks are the consequences of
social influence spreading.
we develop a novel model of
network evolution where the dynamics of
network follow the mechanism of influence propagation, which are
not captured by the existing
network evolution models. Our
experiments confirm the predictions of our model and demonstrate
the important role that
social influence can play in the process of
network evolution. These findings and methods are essential to both
our understanding of the mechanisms that drive
network evolution
and our knowledge of the role of
social influence in shaping the
network structure.

▼ 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 â
social relationshipsâ and the â
network 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.

▼ In this study we construct return correlation
network for cross market listed stocks, commodities and foreign exchanges. Unlike conventional studies of market contagion, this study attempt to analyze the information flow among stocks using
social network topologies. The change in return correlation
network can be manifested by
network parameters such as eigenvector centrality, degree, betweenness, closeness, modularity and density. These parameters have interesting economic connotation in terms of information asymmetry, herding, and information flow, and they can offer far more rich observation than traditional VAR
analysis in market contagion studies. For example, we may be able to answer question such as which stock is the most important stock in information transmission across-markets or across industries, or how the correlation structure changes before and after certain events. More importantly, we can also identify the relationship between
network topologies and global marketsâ return distribution.
This is the first study to apply
network analysis to cross market securities and cross products. The purposes are threefold:
1. To estimate the âimportanceâ of each stock in cross-market information transmission.
2. To observe changes in topologies at important market events using dynamic data visualization, and investigate the underlying causes.
3. To empirically test the relationship between return topologies and return attributes.

Social Networking in the Workplace: Exploring the Structural Characteristics and Conversational Nature of Enterprise Social Networks.

▼ Enterprise
Social Networks (ESNs) are recent and emergent sets of online platforms that allows for employees to collaborate and share information in the same manner as in more commonly known
Social Networking Sites (SNSs) such as Facebook. The proven value-add of these platform to organizations have caused its popularity to soar during recent years, and as a result, causing academia’s interest to rise accordingly. However, given the short time-span since ESNs started gaining interest among organizations, the study of how these platforms are being used by employees is still largely unexplored by the scientific community.
By combining methods from the fields of
social network analysis (SNA) and content
analysis, this research aims to answer the questions of how the conversational nature of an ESN
network is related to its structural characteristics, and how the users’ conversational nature is related to their structural characteristics. The exploration of these relations has been called for by earlier studies in the field, and is important in the sense that it illuminates how these new and exciting ways of collaborating actually manifests within an organization, and how employees’ influence within these networks relates to their conversational topics.
The results obtained during this research show that the degree of clustering in an ESN is related to how much employees engages in discussions and conversations related to generating new ideas and brainstorming. These results provide grounds for postulating that these topics tend to generate more collective interest in participating in these communities as opposed to other topics such as plain information sharing and
social talk. Furthermore, results show that employees with a high eigenvector centrality are the most influential in these networks, as they tend to occupy several other central positions simultaneously. Three distinct characteristics can be identified for these actors; they often engage in the exchange of personal opinions, they often provide links to resources of professional value for other employees to make use of, and they often provide updates about the current status of ongoing projects and alike.
As far as this research has been able to discover, this is the first attempt to draw a connection between conversational topics and structural characteristics within the context of ESNs. These results will hopefully assist in advancing the understanding of how ESNs are being adopted and used by employees, and how these informal networks can be analyzed in a meaningful manner.

▼ Online social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger) bring new benefits to almost all aspects of our lives. They have completely transformed how we communicate with each other, how we process information, and how we diffuse social influence. However, these social networking services are also plagued by both conventional and emerging threats to security and privacy. For instance, two fundamental security risks are 1) users’ accounts are compromised by attackers or get lost and 2) attackers create massive fake (or Sybil) accounts to launch various malicious activities. In this thesis, we first design secure and usable account recovery methods based on users’ trusted friends to recover compromised or lost user accounts. Second, we construct a scalable semi-supervised learning framework, which is based on probabilistic graphical model techniques, to detect Sybil accounts. Third, we demonstrate that diverse private information (e.g., private user demographics and hidden social connections) can be inferred with high accuracies from data that is publicly available on social networking sites, which has implications for the design of privacy-preserving online social networking services.

▼ This thesis contributes to the advancement on the network view of social capital andentrepreneurship, focusing on science-based innovation by observatory social network research. The study has conducted a survey to construct a network map of and network attitudes in Zulu science park (alias name) located in Sweden. The analysis showed that there were relatively positive expectations to utilize network more effectively and efficiently in their business activity with respect to sharing of research skills and resources, as well as social exchange in particular. Currently, the science park seems not yet to take advantage of the potential momentum of the respondents or bottom-up initiatives where tenants maintain the environment mutually under trust. I discuss the merits and challenges in such resource and knowledge sharing in the business development support and governance as a new way of unique business incubator and science-park management, focusing on networking.

▼ Information networks represent relations in data,
relationships typically ignored in iid (independent and identically
distributed) data. Such networks abound, like coauthorships in
bibliometrics, cellphone call graphs in telecommunication, students
interactions in Education, etc. A large body of work has been
devoted to the analysis of these networks and the discovery of
their underlying structure, specifically, finding the communities
in them. Communities are groups of nodes in the network that are
relatively cohesive within the set compared to the outside. This
thesis proposes Top Leaders, a fast and accurate community mining
approach for both weighted and unweighted networks. Top Leaders
regards a community as a set of followers congregating around a
potential leader and works based on a novel measure of closeness
inspired by the theory of diffusion of innovations. Moreover, it
proposes Meerkat-ED, a specific and practical toolbox for analyzing
students’ interactions in online courses. It applies social network
analysis techniques including community mining to evaluate
participation of students in asynchronous discussion
forums.

▼ Resource constraints, e.g. lack of time and human
resources, is a major issue in software testing practice. In short,
testers have limited time to test software systems. Therefore,
managers are expected to spend more resources on software
components that are likely to contain many defects. To help
managers make better decisions of selective testing, it is
beneficial to identify defect-prone software components before the
actual testing. In this thesis, we propose a model for software
defect prediction. The proposed model combines the topological
properties of the software dependency network and the textual
information in source code to predict defect-prone software
components. We evaluate our model on data from Eclipse, Netbeans,
and Gnome projects at different levels of granularity. The
evaluation results are encouraging, showing that our model achieves
higher prediction accuracy than prior work.

▼ In recent decades, political parties espousing extreme nationalist, xenophobic, and even outright racist platforms have enjoyed variable success in national elections across Europe. While a vibrant research literature has sought to better understand the sources of support for such parties, remarkably little attention has been paid to the interplay between parties and the broader
social networks of extremism in which they are embedded. To remedy this deficiency, the present study examines the relations between far-right parliamentary parties and their extra-parliamentary networks. One level of
analysis tests whether there is a relationship between a party’s position within a
network and its sustainability.
Social network analysis is employed to assess the nature and structure of ties between Belgian organizations online. In addition, systematic textual
analysis of website content is used to determine how a party’s ideological position within the
network impacts its sustainability. The second level of
analysis is a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with members of Flemish nationalist organization in order to better understand how actors experience
social networks. Evidence suggests that the most sustainable parties are those that have dense connections with other nationalist organizations. Mapping relations between far-right parties that compete openly within the rules of institutionalized democracy and their wider
social networks can provide important policy-relevant insight into contemporary challenges posed by illiberal forces.

▼ This research paper employs
Social Network Analysis to examine the effect of peer groups on the college application process, taking Baylor University as a case study. Degree centrality and eigenvector centrality are two centrality measures used as interested independent variables. Findings reveal that peer groups have significant effects on college choice in terms of high school and home neighborhood networks. Specifically, a one standard deviation increase in degree centrality implies about a 1.5% rise in application rates, which means highly connected students with a higher degree centrality are more likely to apply to Baylor University. This paper indicates that Baylor University has attracted applicants who are clustered by ZIP Codes, showing that if a student lives or studies in an area where lots of peers are also identified by Baylor University as potential recruits, he or she will be more likely to apply to Baylor. Thus, our study helps to broaden strategies for college recruitment by exploring the important role of
social networks.

▼ Terrorism incidents can cause severe impacts. They
have attracted a lot of attentions in recent years after 9/11
attack. To reduce the impacts of terrorism incidents in a timely
and effective manner, it is important to analyze incoming
information and give explanations for decision making such as
identifying participants. People's plans, thoughts, and actions
about terrorism incidents are reflected in their communications,
which is helpful for intelligence analysis. The communication
content is accessible through monitoring participants'
conversations and emails. Social network analysis and machine
learning techniques can be applied to facilitate the analysis. This
thesis applies and compares several supervised machine learning
techniques to help identify people's roles in terrorism activities.
As supervised learning techniques require much labeled data, which
is time consuming and costly, we also applies semi-supervised
learning techniques which make use of both labeled and unlabeled
data. The challenge problem in our study is to find discriminative
features which can distinguish different roles. In our study, we
applies both people's communication structure and content
information. This thesis applies Girvan-Newman (GN) algorithm to
get people's community feature based on their communication
structure. GN algorithm is an unsupervised learning method which
groups network data into different clusters by recursively removing
the edge with the largest betweenness. The algorithm obtains the
best division when the connections within communities are dense and
the connections between communities are sparse. This thesis also
applies Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to get participants'
topic word features based on their communication content. LDA is
also an unsupervised learning method that groups a set of
observations into unobserved clusters where the data is similar.
LDA is generally applied for topic modeling. It assigns each
document with a mixture of topics and assigns each topic with a set
of words.

▼ Peer victimization among early adolescents is
pervasive and detrimental to both concurrent and future social and
emotional functioning. As part of youth’s social world, it is
important to consider how friendship both affects and is affected
by victimization. Three main hypotheses emerge from the literature
regarding friendship dynamics and victimization. The Friendship
Protection Hypothesis asserts that having friends protects
individuals from victimization (Boulton et al., 1999; Malcolm et
al., 2006). At the same time, the Self Preservation Hypothesis
proposes that victimized youth lose friendships with non-victimized
youth and that having a victimized friend puts individuals at risk
for future victimization (Ellis & Zabartany, 2007; Pellegrini
et al., 1999). Finally, the Common Predictor Hypothesis suggests
that both victimization and lack of friends are predicted by low
self-worth (Bollmer et al., 2005; Bukowski & Sippola, 2001;
Crick & Ladd, 1993; Hodges et al., 1999). These hypotheses have
previously been tested without consideration of the others. This
paper uses the actor-oriented networking modeling software, SIENA,
to test these hypotheses in a single model while controlling for
exogenous social network forces that influence friendship
formation, and finds that components of all three hypotheses
contribute to the dynamics between friendship and
victimization.

▼ The 'Cosmopolitan Play' is used as a metaphor to reflect the multiple contexts and ways that people act and play with the 'other' in the contemporary global era. The study expands the cosmopolitan perspective by questioning a widely held assumption in much of the existing literature that cosmopolitanism and a 'cosmopolitan stance' (Hannerz 1990) - an openness and willingness to engage with the 'other' - is associated with mobile people. This assumption has led to three dimensions being mainly ignored in the literature, these are: 1) a 'middle group' of movers that are neither mobile elites nor displaced people, 2) the significance of non-movers, and 3) temporality. Rather than defining the cosmopolitan stance as an elite identity, in this study it is seen as the reflexive contestation of essentialised identities formed around social boundaries such as those based on nationality, social class, ethnicity, religion and so forth (Jones 2007). Hence, the overarching research question posed is how may someone evolve a cosmopolitan stance? To answer this, a biographical network approach was developed to analyse in tandem the life stories and ego-networks of 28 non-elite young (aged 23-35) British and Spanish movers and non-movers living in Madrid and Manchester in terms of their cosmopolitan conviviality - the extent and quality of personal relationships initiated and maintained through face-to-face social interaction with others that are objectively different. The approach follows three axes of investigation: convivial horizons (x), people's social interactions across national boundaries; convivial depths (y), people's social interactions across social class, ethnic, religious and other social boundaries, within and across national boundaries; and convivial paths (z), the wider biographical contexts of people's interactions. The study's findings lend support to the critique of equating mobility with cosmopolitanism (Glick Schiller et al. 2011), yet they show that mobility inside and outside national boundaries together with subsequent settlement is influential for whether people not only transcend social boundaries, but also contest them. Additionally, while nationality, class, gender and so forth shape the parameters of people's cosmopolitan conviviality and the articulation thereof, they were not seen as decisive in the openness and willingness of people to engage with the 'other'. Instead, a life path that demanded the negotiation of uncertainty and unfamiliarity from an early age due to either familial problems or difficulties of fitting in at school or the wider 'home' environment was influential in the evolution of a more cosmopolitan convivial stance. The intersection of each axis culminates in a three dimensional view which shows how someone evolves one of four broad but distinctive convivial spheres and stances: national, metropolitan, trans-national and cosmopolitan. The theoretical underpinnings of the biographical network approach enable more complexity and detail of the cosmopolitan play to be captured, which…

▼ No Child Left Behind (NCLB) set a challenging goal of 100% proficiency for all students, prompting schools and districts across the nation to implement major reform initiatives to meet increasing federal achievement targets. Some schools and a few districts have been successful, however, the majority are still failing. The primary purpose of this study is to identify and examine the role of one high achieving school district???s central office in supporting or constraining learning initiatives of schools within the district. In particular, this study explores the informal and formal relationships and structures that foster collaboration between central office and school principals. Lastly, the study investigates the conditions and structures that allow leaders to be innovative and creative with the goal of increasing student achievement.
To explore district/school relationships, this study drew on the theory and method of
social network analysis, and its related and supporting theories of
social and intellectual capital, and organizational learning. The concept underlying
social network analysis is the more dense the relationships in an organization, the greater the potential for collaboration and creation of
social capital. Collaborating, exchanging and combining knowledge among members leads to intellectual capital, which is essential for organizational learning.
The research design of this study was a descriptive, embedded, single-case study that used quantitative extant data and qualitative methods to answer five main research questions. In addition to the
social network analysis of central office/principal relations, a cross-case
analysis of two embedded cohorts within one district was also conducted using evidence from surveys, semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews, and document
analysis to examine how the district and schools worked together to negotiate, communicate, and implement reform initiatives.
The study showed that there were dense networks of collaboration, communication, and innovation supported by high levels of trust among administrators at all levels. The qualitative data revealed that principals appreciated considerable autonomy to implement programs of their choice at the school site as long as they could show learning gains. Thus, the results presented a pattern of high levels of site-based decision-making autonomy coupled with high levels of accountability for student achievement ??? a finding not shown in most other studies of effective district reform. This district, serving a high percentage of English learners and socio-economically disadvantaged students, seems to have found a way to balance accountability with professionalism by focusing on student results rather than program mandates.

▼ In this thesis, we study greedy algorithms for approximate sub-graph matching with attributed graphs. Such algorithms find one or multiple copies of a sub-graph pattern from a bigger data graph through approximate matching. One intended application of sub-graph matching method is in Social Network Analysis for detecting potential terrorist groups from known terrorist activity patterns. We propose a new method for approximate sub-graph matching which utilizes degree information to reduce the search space within the incremental greedy search framework. In addition, we have introduced the notion of a “seed” in incremental greedy method that aims to find a good initial partial match. Simulated data based on terrorist profiles database is used in our experiments that compare the computational efficiency and matching accuracy of various methods. The experiment results suggest that with increasing size of the data graph, the efficiency advantage of degree-based method becomes more significant, while degree-based method remains as accurate as incremental greedy. Using a “seed” significantly improves matching accuracy (at the cost of decreased efficiency) when the attribute values in the graphs are deceptively noisy. We have also investigated a method that allows to expand a matched sub-graph from the data graph to include those nodes strongly connected to the current match.
