Knowledge Extraction from Biological and Social Graphs
2022
Many problems from real life deal with the generation of enormous, varied, dynamic, and interconnected datasets coming from different and heterogeneous sources. Analysing large volumes of data makes it possible to generate new knowledge useful for making more informed decisions, in business and beyond. From personalising customer communication to streamlining production processes, via flow and emergency management, Big Data Analytics has an impact on all processes. The potential uses of Big Data go much further: two of the largest sources of data are including individual traders’ purchasing history, the use of Biological Networks for disease prediction or the reduction and study of Biologic…

The role of social networking services in eParticipation
2009
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5694, 46-55. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03781-8_5 A serious problem in eParticipation projects is citizen engagement – citizens do not necessarily become more willing to participate simply because net-services are provided for them. Most forms of eParticipation in democratic contexts are, however, dependent on citizen engagement, interaction and social networking because democratic systems favour the interests of larger groups of citizens – the more voices behind a political proposition, the greater its chances of success. In this context of challenges the study of s…

Social network brand visibility (SNBV) : Conceptualization and empirical evidence
2018
Social media has become a new way of life that allows for real-time interaction among businesses (B2B) and consumers (P2P/C2C) as well as between business firms and consumers (B2C). Customers are increasingly accessing and using social networking sites (SNS), making it imperative for businesses and organizations to have a presence on these platforms to enhance visibility. The main purpose of this chapter is to provoke an agenda on the study of social network brand visibility (SNBV). We developed and proposed a definition of SNBV and report findings from a preliminary study. We further discuss implications for theory, research, and practice as well as the limitations and options for future r…
A privacy-aware framework for decentralized online social networks
2015
Online social networks based on a single service provider suffer several drawbacks, first of all the privacy issues arising from the delegation of user data to a single entity. Distributed online social networks (DOSN) have been recently proposed as an alternative solution allowing users to keep control of their private data. However, the lack of a centralized entity introduces new problems, like the need of defining proper privacy policies for data access and of guaranteeing the availability of user's data when the user disconnects from the social network. This paper introduces a privacy-aware support for DOSN enabling users to define a set of privacy policies which describe who is entitle…
A capital framework for professional learning and practice
2020
Abstract Efforts to improve teaching and learning in general are leading to wide variability in outcomes in different countries and areas, with similar investments and reforms focusing on the instrumental side of professional learning. A rapidly growing research literature has suggested the important role of social connectivity in the success of individual and organizational change and development. This paper draws on theories of human capital, social capital, social network, emotional capital, and research literature in this space to illuminate some of the complex components as related to professional learning.
Apoyo social, empatía y satisfacción con la vida en los diferentes roles de agresor-víctima de acoso escolar
2018
El acoso escolar es una de las principales problemáticas en la adolescencia, con graves consecuencias. En comparación con la gran cantidad de estudios centrados en el rol de víctima pasiva y agresor puro, todavía son escasas las investigaciones centradas en el doble rol de agresor-víctima. Así, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar posibles diferencias en empatía emocional y cognitiva, evaluación de la red social, soledad emocional y satisfacción con la vida entre cinco grupos de adolescentes con diferente implicación en el acoso escolar: “no implicados”, “agresores/víctimas ocasionales”, “víctimas frecuentes”, “agresores frecuentes” y “agresores/víctimas frecuentes”. La muestra est…
Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018
2018
La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de las herr…
