Liu, Xinhan (author)Opinion dynamics models study how the interaction among people influences the opinion formation process. In most opinion dynamics models, only one opinion could exist in the steady state, which is different from the real-life opinion formation process. In 2009, Shao \emph{et al.} introduced a non-consensus opinion (NCO) model, which allows...master thesis 2022

de Metz, Skip (author)Due to the dynamic and complex nature of the construction industry, it is evident that the integration of processes and groups is more challenging to attain in comparison to other industries (Demirkesen & Ozorhon,2017). Therefore, there is a call for better integration of project participants and processes in construction projects (Franz et...master thesis 2022

Marin, L. (author)This paper proposes a conceptual framework for evaluating how social networking platforms fare as epistemic environments for human users. I begin by proposing a situated concept of epistemic agency as fundamental for evaluating epistemic environments. Next, I show that algorithmic personalisation of information makes social networking platforms...journal article 2022

Teodoro Morales, J.D. (author), Baird, Julia (author), Otung, Idorenyin (author)Farmer peer networks have been identified as a key way to increase adoption of beneficial management practices to minimize negative environmental impacts of intensive agriculture. We studied the social processes that contribute to beneficial management practice adoption. We administered two questionnaires to participants of a farmer community of...journal article 2022

Sriram, Chandrasekhar (author), Joseph, G. (author), Murthy, Chandra R. (author)The stabilizability of a linear dynamical system (LDS) refers to the existence of control inputs that drive the system state to zero. In this article, we analyze both the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the stabilizability of an LDS using sparse control inputs with potentially time-varying supports. We show that an LDS is stabilizable...journal article 2022

Styczen, MacIej (author), Chen, Bing Jyue (author), Teng, Ya Wen (author), Pignolet, Yvonne Anne (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Yang, De Nian (author)When spreading information over social networks, seeding algorithms selecting users to start the dissemination play a crucial role. The majority of existing seeding algorithms focus solely on maximizing the total number of reached nodes, overlooking the issue of group fairness, in particular, gender imbalance. To tackle the challenge of...conference paper 2022

Yang, Dingqi (author), Qu, Bingqing (author), Yang, J. (author), Wang, Liang (author), Cudre-Mauroux, Philipe (author)Graph embeddings have become a key paradigm to learn node representations and facilitate downstream graph analysis tasks. Many real-world scenarios such as online social networks and communication networks involve streaming graphs, where edges connecting nodes are continuously received in a streaming manner, making the underlying graph...journal article 2022

Dubey, S.K. (author), Sharma, Ishant (author), Mishra, Sabyasachee (author), Cats, O. (author), Bansal, Prateek (author)Due to the unavailability of prototypes, the early adopters of novel products actively seek information from multiple sources (e.g., media and social networks) to minimize the potential risk. The existing behavior models not only fail to capture the information propagation within the individual's social network, but also they do not...journal article 2022

Timmers, Samuel (author)The IPCC report of August 2021 calls for an immediately reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Without changing the world’s diets, even if we stop all fossil fuel emissions today, we would still not be able to maintain global warming below 1.5°C. The EU has set out their strategy for reducing agricultural emissions in the Farm to Fork Strategy,...master thesis 2021

Meenakshi Sundaram, Aarthi (author)With increasing urbanization it has become increasingly important to focus on reducing emissions at a residential level. Decisions of households to adopt emissions reducing technologies are influenced not just by economic factors, but by the type of social networks they are embedded in. There is however little insight into the relationship...master thesis 2021

Kollár, Eniko (author)Globally, it is estimated by the UN that 2% - 5% of the annual GDP is lost to money laundering. Cur-rent anti-money laundering efforts are hindered by both the lack of trust between financial institutions internationally and the presence of local privacy regulations like GDPR. This makes it unfeasible to share plain transaction data between...bachelor thesis 2021

Tammaru, T. (author), Knapp, David (author), Silm, Siiri (author), van Ham, M. (author), Witlox, Frank (author)A paradigm shift is taking place in spatial segregation research. At the heart of this shift is the understanding of the connectedness of spatial segregation in different life domains and the availability of new datasets that allow for more detailed studies on these connections. In this thematic issue on spatial underpinnings of social...contribution to periodical 2021

Marin, L. (author)This article explores the norms that govern regular users’ acts of sharing content on social networking sites. Many debates on how to counteract misinformation on Social Networking Sites focus on the epistemic norms of testimony, implicitly assuming that the users’ acts of sharing should fall under the same norms as those for posting original...journal article 2021
