A Network Therapy Clinic for Clients with Intellectual Disability

Over the past 30 years a systemic approach has been applied to complex cases involving intellectual disability and behaviours of concern. This paper describes a model that draws on systemic family therapy and network therapy as well as the use of a reflective team. A single session intervention was provided for families of people with intellectual disability. A systemic consultation was used as a pre‐session meeting for professionals working with the family. The systemic consultation and single session therapy allowed the family and the professional network to gain insight. Involving the professionals in the therapy session also enhanced the alliance between professionals and family. This approach assists everyone involved in the case to find a way to progress.

网络扶贫的内涵及实践特色

借助文献研究和对比研究，在解释网络扶贫内涵的基础上，探讨了网络扶贫的实践特色。研究发现，网络扶贫能够推动扶贫思维的深层变革：从单向思维到互联网思维；助力扶贫对象的精准识别：从主观判断到科学界定；促进扶贫动力的内外融通：从外源救济到内生崛起；推进扶贫主体的系统升级：从单一分离到通力合作；优化扶贫路径的实践切入：从共性举措到个性特色；保障扶贫效果的稳定有序：从短期快速到长期持续。因此，在网络扶贫的过程中，既要注重提升网络扶贫主体的人力资本、加强农村互联网基础设施建设，又要注重构建网络扶贫信息服务体系、培育贫困地区特色产业，推进网络公益扶贫有序发展。     

In transit: Changing social networks of sub-Saharan African migrants in Turkey and Greece

Research on the role of social networks in human migration has mainly relied on single snapshots in time. This paper focuses on the changes in composition and usage of the transnational networks of migrants and why these changes occur. It is based on ethnography and network analysis with forty sub-Saharan African migrants in two transit contexts: Turkey and Greece, over a 17-month period. Findings show that relationship preferences, resources and communication infrastructures constitute an individual opportunity infrastructure affecting how critical events produce network changes. This process is ongoing through the continued experience of critical events, suggesting that the role of networks fluctuates over time.     

A novel approach based on multiple correspondence analysis for monitoring social networks with categorical attributed data

In in most cases, the distribution of communications is unknown and one may summarize social network communications with categorical attributes in a contingency table. Due to the categorical nature of the data and a large number of features, there are many parameters to be considered and estimated in the model. Hence, the accuracy of estimators decreases. To overcome the problem of high dimensionality and unknown communications distribution, multiple correspondence analysis is used to reduce the number of parameters. Then the rescaled data are studied in a Dirichlet model in which the parameters should be estimated. Moreover, two control charts, Hotelling’s T² and multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA), are developed to monitor the parameters of the Dirichlet distribution. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulation studies in terms of average run length criterion. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a real case.     

Analysis of social innovation on social networking services

ABSTRACT

Social network services are allowing more social connectivity and making possible sharing information and knowledge of a different nature. This article analyses if social workers related to active social policies from Malaga province (Spain) are using social network services to share information and knowledge and if there is a mirror between online and offline relationships. Since it is an experimental model, through virtual ethnography and through social network analysis methodology, we observed the presence, connectivity and analysed the structure of relationships that keep 235 professionals from 52 organizations in Facebook®. Moreover, the model uses the statistical technique of modularity for detecting online communities, which are compared with distribution of professionals in their organizations. Results show how social network services applied to social intervention are massively and frequently used by professionals. On the other hand, the detected communities reflect existence of analogy between online and offline relationships. The online structure shows a high degree of cohesion and how certain professionals have higher capacity of influence and diffusion depending on position in the online structure. It argues about the opportunity to incorporate social network services towards social intervention as a manner of social innovation to improve cooperation and diffusion of information and knowledge.     

微信：结群革命与现代生存

在人类的文化基因中，没有任何的人群能够摆脱结群这一人文进程。在现代社会里，人们结群而居的传统方式已经成为往事，居住的结群让我们“分布”到社区里，而原来结群具有的许多功能被碎片化到城市的各种馆站机构中。在结群方式上，微信群又提供了一种结群的革命方式。微信结群基本的群特征有：交流信息是微信群的第一功能，传播专业知识是微信群的第二功能；表达对于事物的意见和看法是微信的第三功能。微信结群在工业化的现代社会，也像城市里的各种馆站，碎片化地呈现了以前结群中的不同功能，把以前的结群中群体聚居分散在各种各样的结群中。这种结群一方面弥补了我们社区聚居中的缺陷，是一种结群革命，但它却进一步强化了社会陌生化的程度。     

企业信用内生网络模型及其演化研究

本文考虑上游企业和下游企业两个部门，通过构建企业内生网络模型研究企业间信用关联内在形成机制及其演化特征。通过对内生网络模型仿真研究，结果表明本文构建的模型重现了现实企业系统存在的一些特征：企业信用网络度分布服从幂律分布，该网络具有无标度特征；较长的合并周期则能更好地反映企业间信用关系，且随着合并周期变大，网络密度也显著增大；企业资产规模分布具有幂律尾部特征，企业资产增长率随时间演化逐渐呈收敛状，且其概率分布近似于正态分布。     

The Multiscale Importance of Road Segments in a Network Disruption Scenario: A Risk‐Based Approach

This article addresses the problem of the multiscale importance of road networks, with the aim of helping to establish a more resilient network in the event of a road disruption scenario. A new model for identifying the most important roads is described and applied on a local and regional scale. The work presented here represents a step forward, since it focuses on the interaction between identifying the most important roads in a network that connect people and health services, the specificity of the natural hazards that threaten the normal functioning of the network, and an assessment of the consequences of three real‐world interruptions from a multiscale perspective. The case studies concern three different past events: road interruptions due to a flood, a forest fire, and a mass movement. On the basis of the results obtained, it is possible to establish the roads for which risk management should be a priority. The multiscale perspective shows that in a road interruption the regional system may have the capacity to reorganize itself, although the interruption may have consequences for local dynamics. Coordination between local and regional scales is therefore important. The model proposed here allows for the scaling of emergency response facilities and human and physical resources. It represents an innovative approach to defining priorities, not only in the prevention phase but also in terms of the response to natural disasters, such as awareness of the consequences of road disruption for the rescue services sent out to local communities.
