TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline a new network-based theory of social medical capital that will open up new avenues for conducting large-scale network studies of online health communities and devising effective policy interventions aimed at improving patients' self-care and health.

TL;DR: An agent-based computational model of negotiation in which social influence plays a key role in the attainment of social and cognitive integration is developed, which provides insights into the trade-offs typically involved in the exercise of social influence.

TL;DR: This article constructs place-centric communication and mobility networks in the city of Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire, and suggests that both closed and open structures can serve as wellsprings of social capital.

TL;DR: It is shown that the classification performance of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) is related to the alignment between features, graph, and ground truth, which is quantified using a subspace alignment measure corresponding to the Frobenius norm of the matrix of pairwise chordal distances between three subspaces.

TL;DR: Analysis of patterns of human activity within an online forum in which communication can be assessed at three intertwined levels indicates that, when users are solipsistic, their bursty behavior is not sufficient for generating heavy-tailed interevent time distributions at a higher level, but when users is socially interdependent, the power spectra and intereven time distributions are remarkably similar at all levels of analysis.
