Happy holidays and happy new year!

The Korean translation of the fascinating textbook 'The Nature of Complex Networks' [1] written by Sergey N. Dorogovtsev and José F. F. Mendes will be published soon (expected in early 2026), feat. Prof. Mendes's special message to Korean readers!

I've got the message that the abstract submission opened.

Thank you for your information, but the answer is no. We just cited several papers on detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), multiscale entropy (MSE), and visibility graph (VG) algorithm that have been applied to the heartbeat time series analysis.

Analysis framework for higher-order temporal correlations with applications to human heartbeats We propose a time series analysis framework focused on higher-order temporal correlations in the event sequence beyond the interevent time distribution by employing the burst-tree decomposition method...

중간고사 문제 출제를 계기로 다시 보기 시작했고, 궁금증을 해결했지만 논문거리는 아닌 것 같아서 이 정도로 남김 ... 을 ChatGPT가 이 정도로 확장해 줌 ... 😶

친구 역설 또는 우정 역설 (friendship paradox) 에 대해 예전부터 갖고 있었던 의문이 있었는데, ChatGPT의 도움으로 해결한 듯 하다.

Our paper “Regional disparities in the distribution of public and private healthcare facilities in South Korea” has been published in the international journal PLOS ONE 🎉 (lnkd.in/gMPnhkdC)
Special thanks to our undergraduate co-author (3rd year student) for contributing to this meaningful study.

I just learned that Asia-Pacific Summer School and Conference on Networks and Complex Systems will be held next year at NTU, Singapore. Please check out the official website: apcncs2026.github.io

I just copied the poster of the workshop, which looks interesting.

I submitted my manuscript to the arXiv one week ago, which is still "on hold", and didn't get any message from the arXiv since then. Should I wait longer or take any action?

Is this the first journal containing the term "social physics"? In any case, I'm excited to see that such journal has been finally started.

Recently, Scott Feld and his colleagues reported a mathematical result regarding the difference between individual-level and network-level FPs, but not exactly the same as my previous definitions. You can refer to www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We have distinguished them: the former is the individual-level friendship paradox (FP), while the latter is the network-level FP. For the former, we used to measure the fraction of individuals who suffer the individual FP. E.g., see Table 1 in www.nature.com/articles/sre...
