We analyze the dataset of confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) in the Republic of Korea, which contains transmission information on who infected whom as well as temporal information regarding when the infection possibly occurred. We derive time series of mesoscopic transmission networks using the location and age of each individual in the dataset to see how the structure of these networks changes over time in terms of clustering and link prediction. We find that the networks are clustered to a large extent, while those without weak links could be seen as having a tree structure. It is also found that triad-based link predictability using the network structure could be improved when combined with additional information on mobility and age-stratified contact patterns. Abundant triangles in the networks can help us better understand mixing patterns of people with different locations and age groups, hence the spreading dynamics of infectious disease.

Background: This study aims to analyze research trends and emerging insights into gut microbiota studies from 2015 to 2024 through bibliometric analysis techniques. By examining bibliographic data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, it seeks to identify key research topics, evolving themes, and significant shifts in gut microbiota research. The study employs co-occurrence analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and burst detection analysis to uncover latent patterns and the development trajectory of this rapidly expanding field.

Electrochemical dehydration reaction is a fascinating and underexplored field of research, which has started to attract significant attention in recent years. Dehydration reactions are characterized by the formal removal of water in the course of the transformation, and they are among the most fundamental types of reactions found throughout chemistry. Examples are esterification reactions, amidation reactions, and the synthesis of carbon-heteroatom multiple bonds.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an increasingly prominent global public health issue, where air pollution significantly contributes to its rising incidence. Although numerous studies have explored the link between air pollution and AR pathogenesis, comprehensive summaries are still limited.
Objective: This study performs a bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots and emerging trends, offering insights into AR prevention and management.

Background: A well-established link between antisocial behavior (ASB) and problematic alcohol use in adolescence has been demonstrated, yet the direction of this association across the lifespan remains unclear. Although antisocial conduct may increase exposure to known social and environmental risk factors for developing alcohol use disorder (AUD), alcohol use may also impair social functioning and self-regulation that subsequently increases ASB risk. Using a sibling comparison design in a high-risk sample, this study tested bidirectional associations between symptom counts of ASB and AUD from adolescence through adulthood.

Introduction: The rapid expansion of generated data through social networks has introduced significant challenges, which underscores the need for advanced methods to analyze and interpret these complex systems. Deep learning has emerged as an effective approach, offering robust capabilities to process large datasets, and uncover intricate relationships and patterns.
Methods: In this systematic literature review, we explore research conducted over the past decade, focusing on the use of deep learning techniques for community detection in social networks.
