However, it is unknown if online relationships in network structure analysis. and their growth patterns are the same as in real-life social It is only very recently that we have seen research results networks. In this paper, we compare the structures of three online social networking services: Cyworld, MySpace, and orkut, from large networks. Novel network structures from human each with more than 10 million users, respectively. We have societies and communication systems have been unveiled; just access to complete data of Cyworld’s ilchon (friend) relationships to name a few are the Internet and WWW [3] and the patents, and analyze its degree distribution, clustering property, degree Autonomous Systems (AS), and affiliation networks [4]. Even correlation, and evolution over time. We also use Cyworld data in the short history of the Internet, SNSs are a fairly new to evaluate the validity of snowball sampling method, which we use to crawl and obtain partial network topologies of MySpace phenomenon and their network structures are not yet studied and orkut. Cyworld, the oldest of the three, demonstrates a carefully. The social networks of SNSs are believed to reflect changing scaling behavior over time in degree distribution. The the real-life social relationships of people more accurately than latest Cyworld data’s degree distribution exhibits a multi-scaling any other online networks.

  • UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine
    Newsletter SPRING 2020 To our UMBC/Meyerhoff families: We hope you and your families are all doing well during this strange and stressful time of Covid- 19. Although the world has changed quickly with so many things shut down and many of us sheltering at home, we hope this newsletter will represent a ray of sunshine during a dark and difficult time. Please enjoy this positive representation of our student and alumni community. MPA Board UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine Kizzmekia Corbett ’08, M16, biological sciences, says it feels like she’s “living in a constant adrenaline rush.” Maybe that’s because she and her team at the Vaccine Research Center at the National Insti- tute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have been working around the clock for weeks. They’re racing to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus faster than it can race across the globe. “To be living in this moment where I have the opportunity to work on something that has imminent global importance…it’s just a surre- al moment for me,” Corbett says. Despite it feeling surreal, the advances Corbett and her team are making are very real, and they’re setting records. “We are making better progress than I could have ever hoped for,” she says. After three months of studies in test tubes and in animals, the vaccine her team developed is about to enter a phase I clinical trial, a crucial hur- dle on the way to FDA approval. Read the complete article about Kizzmekia and her team’s efforts to develop a Covid-19 vaccine in the latest UMBC magazine at https:// Kizzmekia Corbett, NIH magazine.umbc.edu/umbc-alumnae-racing-to-develop- coronavirus-vaccine/.

  • Covid-19 Vaccination Disparities and Hesitancy
    COVID-19 VACCINATION DISPARITIES AND HESITANCY + Stanley Thompson, MD, MHA, FACEP + David Hogan, DO, MPH, FACEP + Khadeja Haye, MD, MBA, FACOG teamhealth.com COVID-19 VACCINATION DISPARITIES AND HESITANCY Numerous studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected people of color in the United States. Black, Hispanic or Latinx, and Native American people are approximately four times more likely to be hospitalized and nearly three times more likely to die of COVID-19 than their majority counterparts. There are numerous reasons for these disparities, many of which are the same as other findings of disparity in other disease states (i.e. the social determinants of medicine). We know that vaccination is the key to preventing COVID-19 in all people. Vaccinated People – What We Know America’s vaccination effort is among the best in the world. However, where race is known, people of color are getting vaccinated at lower rates than white Americans. The Kaiser Family Foundation analysis reveals a significant disparity where race is known (about 54%) for those who have received at least one dose of vaccine as of April 13, 2021. It shows the racial/ethnic breakdown as White Americans 65%, Hispanic or Latinx 11%, Black 9%, Asian 5%, Indigenous American or Alaskan 2%, Native Hawaiian <1%, and Multiple race 9%. A YouGov poll further supports and illustrates this point as well. Among White adults polled, 26% have gotten the vaccine, compared to 17% of Black adults and 11% of Hispanic adults. Access to Vaccines A big part of what is occurring is disparate access to vaccination.

Given the increasing prevalence of online social networks, their propensity to connect users with similar levels of SWB may be an important factor in how positive and negative sentiments are maintained and spread through human society.

  • Vaccine Infodemiology with Jessica Malaty Rivera Ologies Podcast January 5, 2021
    Vaccine Infodemiology with Jessica Malaty Rivera Ologies Podcast January 5, 2021 Oh hey, it’s your college roommate who used to mix beer into Metamucil, Alie Ward. The vaccine. Vaccines. Covid-19 vaccines. What is the what? Who gets it? What’s in it? How does it work? When can people make out with strangers again? All good questions which we will get to. But first, some thanks up top to everyone at Patreon.com/Ologies for making this show a reality. You can join for one hot dollar a month. And thank you to everyone who has subscribed, and rated, especially reviewed the show, because you know that I read them like a goblin so I can select a freshie each week. And this one, it’s from LittleGlassFox who said: Thank you, Internet Dad (that’s me) for this beautiful piece of Internet art. I am but a chicken nugget in the sweet and sour ocean of knowledge that is in Ologies. Hop in, folks. Let’s get sticky. Okay, vaccine infodemiology. So, infodemiology: it is a real word and it is the science of managing infodemics, which is also a real word. It’s an overabundance of information, some accurate and some not, occurring during an epidemic. Can you even believe that there is the perfect ology for these times and also the perfect Ologist? So, I was waiting for the right time to do another Coronasode and with the vaccines rolling out, I knew we all had questions. So, about four days ago, I all-caps asked this Ologist that day what her afternoon was like and she’s a champ and hopped on the horn.

And we’re opening ‘em up, and if I have to, I will override any governor that wants to play games. If they want to play games, that’s okay, but we will win, and we have many different ways where I can override them,” he continued. o The President also added that "there may be some areas where the pastor or whoever may feel that it’s not quite ready and that’s okay, but let that be the choice of the congregation and the pastor.” • US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency responsible for visa and asylum processing, is expected to furlough part of its workforce this summer if Congress doesn't provide emergency funding to sustain operations during the coronavirus pandemic. o "Unfortunately, as of now, without congressional intervention, the agency will need to administratively furlough a portion of our employees on approximately July 20," USCIS Deputy Director Joseph Edlow for Policy wrote in a letter sent to the workforce on Tuesday.
