In recent decades, the container terminal industry has experienced a significant increase in equity cooperative agreements among Terminal Operating Companies (TOCs), liner shipping operators, and transport chain operators. This development has led to a complex network of relationships that impacts national and international port-level competition. This study focuses on Italian container ports...
Even though HIV incidence is falling globally, it remains relatively high amongst South African youth. Despite the availability of free and effective prevention and treatment methods, uptake remains low. Evidence suggests that sexual behaviour is strongly affected by social connections and interventions uptake can be improved by leveraging social networks. We therefore use social network data...
In Network Analysis, the topological properties of networks can be investigated through subgraph analysis. In particular, interactions between three vertices can be analyzed via the so-called triad census. However, the conventional procedure is suitable only for binary (unweighted) networks, neglecting the level of heterogeneity that can be observed, particularly in small and dense networks....
In recent years, the literature has proposed different studies that combine the analysis of node-level attributes alongside topological information of the network. These proposals range from hierarchical clustering algorithms including relational constraints to communities in the context of Subgroup Discovery, and data-driven probabilistic methods on multilayer networks. While these methods...
