Sleep loss has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and an increase in accidents, all of which are among the leading causes of death in the United States. Population-scale sleep studies have the potential to advance public health by helping to identify at-risk populations, changes in collective sleep patterns, and to inform policy change. Prior research suggests other kinds of health indicators such as depression and obesity can be estimated using social media activity. However, the inability to effectively measure collective sleep with publicly available data has limited large-scale academic studies. Here, we investigate the passive estimation of sleep loss through a proxy analysis of Twitter activity profiles. We use Spring Forward events, which occur at the beginning of Daylight Savings Time in the United States, as a natural experimental condition to estimate spatial differences in sleep loss across the United States. On average, peak Twitter activity occurs roughly 45 minutes later on the Sunday following Spring Forward. By Monday morning however, activity curves are realigned with the week before, suggesting that at least on Twitter, the lost hour of early Sunday morning has been quickly absorbed.

The global public sphere has changed dramatically over the past decades: a significant part of public discourse now takes place on algorithmically driven platforms owned by a handful of private companies. Despite its growing importance, there is scan
t large-scale academic research on the long-term evolution of user behaviour on these platforms, because the data are often proprietary to the platforms. Here, we evaluate the individual behaviour of 600,000 Twitter users between 2012 and 2019 and find empirical evidence for an acceleration of the way Twitter is used on an individual level. This manifests itself in the fact that cohorts of Twitter users behave differently depending on when they joined the platform. Behaviour within a cohort is relatively consistent over time and characterised by strong internal interactions, but over time behaviour from cohort to cohort shifts towards increased activity. Specifically, we measure this in terms of more tweets per user over time, denser interactions with others via retweets, and shorter content horizons, expressed as an individuals decaying autocorrelation of topics over time. Our observations are explained by a growing proportion of active users who not only tweet more actively but also elicit more retweets. These behaviours suggest a collective contribution to an increased flow of information through each cohorts news feed -- an increase that potentially depletes available collective attention over time. Our findings complement recent, empirical work on social acceleration, which has been largely agnostic about individual user activity.
We have established a novel mathematical model that considers various aspects of the spreading of the virus, including, the transmission based on being in the latent period, environment to human transmission, governmental decisions, and control measu
res. To accomplish this, a compartmental model with eight batches (sub-population groups) has been proposed and the simulation of the set of differential equations has been conducted to show the effects of the various involved parameters. Also, to achieve more accurate results and closer to reality, the coefficients of a system of differential equations containing transmission rates, death rates, recovery rates and etc. have been proposed by some new step-functions viewpoint. Results: First of all, the efficiency of the proposed model has been shown for Iran and Italy, which completely denoted the flexibility of our model for predicting the epidemic progress and its moment behavior. The model has shown that the reopening plans and governmental measures directly affect the number of active cases of the disease. Also, it has specified that even releasing a small portion of the population (about 2-3 percent) can lead to a severe increase in active patients and consequently multiple waves in the disease progress. The effects of the healthcare capacities of the country have been obtained (quantitatively), which clearly specify the importance of this context. Control strategies including strict implementation of mitigation (reducing the transmission rates) and re-quarantine of some portion of population have been investigated and their efficiency has been shown.

Networks are widely used to model the contact structure within a population and in the resulting models of disease spread. While networks provide a high degree of realism, the analysis of the exact model is out of reach and even numerical methods fai
l for modest network size. Hence, mean-field models (e.g. pairwise) focusing on describing the evolution of some summary statistics from the exact model gained a lot of traction over the last few decades. In this paper we revisit the problem of deriving triple closures for pairwise models and we investigate in detail the assumptions behind some of the well-known closures as well as their validity. Using a top-down approach we start at the level of the entire graph and work down to the level of triples and combine this with information around nodes and pairs. We use our approach to derive many of the existing closures and propose new ones and theoretically connect the two well-studied models of multinomial link and Poisson link selection. The theoretical work is backed up by numerical examples to highlight where the commonly used assumptions may fail and provide some recommendations for how to choose the most appropriate closure when using graphs with no or modest degree heterogeneity.
This paper introduces the Strain Elevation Tension Spring embedding (SETSe) algorithm, a graph embedding method that uses a physics model to create node and edge embeddings in undirected attribute networks. Using a low-dimensional representation, SET
Se is able to differentiate between graphs that are designed to appear identical using standard network metrics such as number of nodes, number of edges and assortativity. The embeddings generated position the nodes such that sub-classes, hidden during the embedding process, are linearly separable, due to the way they connect to the rest of the network. SETSe outperforms five other common graph embedding methods on both graph differentiation and sub-class identification. The technique is applied to social network data, showing its advantages over assortativity as well as SETSes ability to quantify network structure and predict node type. The algorithm has a convergence complexity of around $mathcal{O}(n^2)$, and the iteration speed is linear ($mathcal{O}(n)$), as is memory complexity. Overall, SETSe is a fast, flexible framework for a variety of network and graph tasks, providing analytical insight and simple visualisation for complex systems.
