Türkiye Cumhuriyeti İçişleri Bakanlığı Göç İdaresi Genel Müdürlüğü’nün verilerine istinaden Türkiye’de 3,5 milyondan fazla kayıtlı Suriyeli yaşamaktadır.

Social communities have drawn a lot of attention in the past decades. We have previously introduced and validated the use of the cohesion, a graph metric which quantitatively captures the community-ness in a social sense of a set of nodes in a graph. Here we show that the problem of maximizing this quantity is NP-Hard. Furthermore, we show that the dual problem of minimizing this quantity, for ...

Social capital is used as a theoretical framework to reveal the importance of relationships between of®cers and their supervisors for performing community policing. It is expected that of®cers with higher levels of social capital will accomplish more community policing than their peers who have lesser amounts of trust, cooperation, group cohesion, and social support in their work relationships....

A minimum similarity threshold is proposed to filter which gives a method to find the vertices located at the overlapped area between different communities. This paper analyzes a series of ...

While existing studies have started to address this issue through classical indiv...
