In remote sensor systems with portable hubs, it is imperative to upgrade vitality efficiency. For these systems, a few steering conventions have been displayed to diminish bundle misfortune and increment vitality efficiency. Be that as it may, since these conventions can't make suitable groups, they are not amazingly vitality efficient. Right now, brought together vitality efficient grouping steering convention for versatile hubs (CEECR) is created to limit vitality scattering and boost bundle conveyance proportion. In our convention, a unified bunch arrangement calculation is displayed to deliver ideal groups by using hub versatility and the hub vitality property. Moreover, withdrew a hub chooses its ideal bunch head as indicated by the hub separation property, hub portability, and the hub vitality feature. The exhibition of centralized energy efficient clustering scattering protocol for mobile nodes will be contrasted with grouping based conventions, for example, Filter, Drain C, Drain Portable, Cluster Based Routing, Mobile Based Clustering, and Filter MF. Re-enactment according to the outcome CEECR decreases normal vitality scattering and improves parcel conveyance proportion.

Abstract To resolve the problems of adding unsprung mass and worsening ride comfort of hub motor drive electric vehicles, a new drive system with hub motor as dynamic absorber is studied and proposed. The mathematical models of the new hub motor drive system and the centralized motor drive system are established, and their ride comfort is compared and analyzed. The impact of dynamic absorber parameters on ride comfort of the new hub motor drive system is analyzed, and the parameter sensitivity is calculated. The results show that the body acceleration, suspension dynamic deflection, wheel dynamic load of the new hub motor drive system are better than those of the centralized motor drive system, and the dynamic absorber parameters have a great effect on the electric vehicle performance.

While agreeing that digitization is a useful tool to valorize each museum and collection, we still believe that the suggestion of a centralized hub is valid and necessary. This would largely help in boosting coordination among museums, sharing personnel and resources, and in providing a place to deposit scientific collections that do not fit the scope of smaller museums.

The local water supply corporation in Indonesia only uses analog water meter so that the monitoring of water usage information was conducted by officers manually. Officers must physically monitor the value in the customer's water meter that can lead to unreliable reading and ineffectiveness of process. Smart meter is one of the smart city metrics which could overcome this problem. This research uses the flow sensor to design and incorporate automated water meters. The measured value is then passed via the 433 MHz LoRa, a low-power wide-area network protocol, to the local hub, then forwarded to the server via the internet based cellular network. Results show that our proposed system's accuracy hit 97.31% at an ideal distance of 200 meters from customer to the local hub. The customer's water usage could be tracked in real time with our proposed system. Furthermore, the original water meter need not to be replaced which may minimize capital costs for this system.

And how do i-Hub and its centralized planning function influence business is our focus.
In this thesis, we first review the relative literatures about extended supply chain, collaboration, virtual enterprise and inter-organizational relationships. Next, we propose the supply chain and extended supply chain ontology to clarify the relationships among entities in the supply chain network. After that, the infrastructure of i-Hub is identified. Based on these fundamental concept developments, we can dig into the influence of i-Hub to business. We take two perspectives to check these influence made by i-Hub. First is the influence happening among supply chain members, we propose the “collaboration mode” to identify these relationships driven by i-Hub. Second, the influence happening within business planning activities, we divide the internal planning activities into several modules and find that there are two influences, “extraction” and “control/monitor”, to different planning activities respectively.
This research could be the fundamental basis for researches which take the i-Hub, centralized planning, and extended supply chain as assumption and environment. And this thesis also sketches the contours of various further research topics.

碩士<br>中華大學<br>企業管理學系碩士班<br>103<br>This research aims to build the conceptual framework of key success factors in centralized peddler zone by literature review and professional interview. Through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and questionnaires explore the importance of the key success factors in centralized peddler zone of Ci-Hui Temple, Tongsiao and the efficiency of existing market management. The influences of key success factors in centralized peddler zone include four perspectives, such as “Hardware in centralized peddler zone”, “Peddlers Product/Service Factor”, “Software in centralized peddler zone” and “Public and Privacy Involvement”, and fifteen evaluation factors. By 7 industry-government-university questionnaires and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) results，we obtain 4 perspectives of the analysis. The most important perspective is the “Peddlers Product/Service Factor”, followed by “Hardware in centralized peddler zone”, Software in centralized peddler zone”and finally to “Public and Privacy Involvement”. The key evaluation factors of centralized peddler zone are food refreshment, available transport, store management, exterior design, marketing strategy and promotion activity, and distinctive flavor. The questionnaires of this research are based on the local habitants and 162 questionnaires collected are valid opinion survey. Among the key success factors, although exterior design and available transport are not conclusive, they still need to be consider in the future plan of Ci-Hui Temple. The result of this research would provide Tongsiao Township Administration some advices to improve centralized peddler zone in Ci-Hui Temple and to refer centralized peddler zone management to peddler vendors.

To implement their strategies on a global scale, global organizations must design appropriate structures that take into account the demands and complexities of their changing environments, such as the diversity of offerings/businesses as a function of the geographical region in which the firm operates. The strategic role of subsidiaries and how they integrate into the overall system have changed and should be considered in the design of the firm—especially the kind of flexibility needed in managing vertical and lateral flows of information as well as integration of various functions. This chapter discusses three different types of design: decentralized federation, coordinated federation, and centralized hub in terms of their significance in accomplishing flexibility, national responsiveness, and the need for global integration. One significant development is the use of global networks and international teams composed of technically competent people who are dispersed across spatial, temporal, cultural, and organizational boundaries.

Full textAbstract:
Moving beyond simplistic equipment lists, this book provides contextual and practical information to help academic library personnel learn how to plan, collaborate, and sustain relevant makerspaces positioned within the broader ecology of campus innovation. The makerspace movement within academic libraries has largely focused on providing space and equipment for making. Academic libraries, however, have a unique opportunity to push beyond the 3D printer to create makerspaces that complement the broader ecology of innovation happening on campus. Intended for academic library personnel, this book is for those seeking guidance on how to establish a makerspace that is more than an equipment room. Katy Mathuews and Daniel Harper provide important context for the maker movement, a review of the process of making, and an overview of the various types of makerspaces, including the hub-and-spoke model, the centralized model, and the mobile makerspace. Additionally, the book provides practical steps to consider, including situating the academic library makerspace within the campus environment, creating valuable collaborations on campus, finding innovative ways to support the entire making process, programming, curriculum planning, and sustaining daily operations such as staffing, funding, and public service.

AbstractThis chapter is a response to the increasing demand for a versatile AI dataset repository in a rapidly evolving landscape that necessitates frugal and robust AI solutions for defence applications. In an era characterized by an exponential growth in data generation, the need for a repository that can accommodate diverse and extensive datasets has become paramount. The evolving nature of defence and security challenges, marked by the reliance on AI for critical decision-making, further underscores the urgency of this repository. With a wealth of non-cooperative and cooperative tracking data, electro-optical data, radio signals, and more at play, the chapter addresses the imperative to provide a secure, accessible, and scalable repository that aligns datasets with specific user requirements and use cases. This comprehensive repository design acknowledges not only the massive volumes of data at hand but also the importance of long-term data preservation, access control, and data integrity. It offers a methodological blueprint for building a robust AI dataset repository capable of meeting the ever-increasing demands of a dynamic AI landscape. In this context, the chapter includes the methodological approach for the creation of a specialized AI dataset repository, which is being developed within the framework of the EU-funded FaRADAI project (GA no. 101103386) and aims at advancing AI technology for defence applications. The FaRADAI Dataset Repository (FDR) plays a pivotal role in facilitating collaboration among project partners by serving as a centralized hub for secure and efficient data storage and access.

Abstract Since the 1960s, Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB) has gradually established a comprehensive, hierarchical planning system for housing and public space in high-density residential areas. In the late 1990s, Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) began to draw on Singapore’s planning experience, absorbed certain planning concepts, and attempted to build up its urban model in China. The spatial practice and conceptual translation from Singapore to the SIP warrants reflection on the differences and issues in the two planning and urban management contexts. This article first investigates the issues in that translation when the planning concepts in Singapore (e.g. neighbourhood and precinct) were translated into Chinese planning contexts, in which some translations were made based on literal meanings without intricate mapping from one context to the other. Through fieldwork and policy mapping between the two places, the research further highlights the precincts and gated communities that have been neglected in comparing the two systems as an essential urban unit in making the spatial ductility and urban connectivity of public spaces in the hierarchy of Singapore difficult to achieve in the SIP. The investigation into the neighbourhood centres and void deck spaces in the SIP as transferable concepts from Singapore also found that more large-scale, multifunctional, centralised small shopping malls have been increasingly planned in recent years, such that everyday public spaces close to ordinary life are in danger of shrinkage. This article points out the trend for constructing centralised neighbourhood centres should be revisited, and the priority should be made to create a fluid urban system with public spaces connecting to each other.

The first quarter of a century of Sanlam in the long-term insurance business was characterized by strong centralized bureaucratic management, an unmistakeably Afrikaner cultural hub at Head Office, and attention to the professional training of agents. The company growth was solid and slowly gained market share through innovative products and attention to service. A close connection between Afrikaner cultural and political leadership was prevalent throughout this period. Sanlam used this nationalist allegiance to grow its business, and to develop a presence for Afrikaners outside of insurance in other sectors of the economy. By the end of World War II non-exclusive production positioned the company to benefit from strong economic growth after 1945.

The chapter analyzes the links between the higher education system and the design and implementation of smart specialization strategies in north-east Romania, with the aim of providing actionable steps for policymakers, higher education institutions (HEIs), and other stakeholders. This case study allows reflecting on the potential of smart specialization in a region recognized as a higher-education hub in Romania and characterized by a very proactive regional development agency (RDA), but in which universities display limited engagement with the territory and where public administration is highly centralized. The findings identify actions that HEIs and the RDA can undertake to enhance universities' roles within RIS3. These revolve around (1) improving collaborations among HEIs within the region; (2) accessing international collaboration networks for research, teaching, and innovation; and (3) finding avenues of interaction with local actors.

Fast and accurate data channelling between Machine-to-Human (M2H) and Machineto- Machine (M2M) are necessary in Smart Manufacturing implementation. In this paper, a data channelling architecture, i.e., Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is used to test on manufacturing machine. Data will be channelled and stored into a centralized hub through OPC UA. Predictive analysis process, one of the useful features of Smart Manufacturing is used to analyse the data stored in centralized hub instantly when the data is collected from the machine. This instantaneous action is to make sure the data in the data collector, which is from the machine will not alter or missing. In this research, OPC UA standard is applied to ensure the results of data channelling fulfill the requirement of Smart Manufacturing implementation. As a result, the OPC UA Server serves more data channeling processes when there is an increment of data bits and it reduces the transmission speed, in both local and VPN connection.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The challenges with life-cycle management of an offshore asset, coupled with multi-discipline system engineering, and multiple competing project objectives provide an opportunity to seek a disruptive approach for maximizing value. The objective of this paper is to introduce ExxonMobil's new approach called intelligent Deepwater Advanced Solutions Hub (iDASH) where various engineering tools are strategically integrated to maximize value and improve decision quality utilizing advantages of latest digital technologies. Establishing a cloud-based centralized hub with engineering tools that can generate holistic solutions is a novel and disruptive approach given the unique and complex nature of large-scale development and management of deepwater resources. As the energy industry goes through a challenging situation where more complex and competing objectives exist, the proposed iDASH can provide a new and unique approach to move in the right direction by leveraging integrated tools and data-driven technologies. Offshore developments require a wide range of expertise areas including reservoir, wells, flow assurance, subsea, flowlines, risers, topsides, marine, geotechnical, costing, and project economics. Key challenges to asset life-cycle management include uncertainty from subsurface, limited number of alternative concepts, slow evaluation turn-around time, inability to integrate processes across multiple disciplines, and non-streamlined data transfer among different stages of a project. The iDASH approach proposes solutions by emphasizing the integration of tools, continuity among different stages of a project, and cross-discipline connectivity. Logically following typical project stages, iConcept, iDesign, iOperate, and iDecom are addressed as four pillars of iDASH to ensure value maximization. Locating and integrating various engineering tools in a cloud-based centralized hub allows for cross-discipline collaboration, optimization, and faster cycles with either better solutions or multiple alternative options. Progress in this space can decrease capital expenditure (CAPEX) or increase net present value (NPV), resulting in faster monetization of an asset or a shorten payback time. Specific use cases and proofs of concept with different engineering tools demonstrate the feasibility of iDASH and value maximization. Specifically, a trade-space analysis for improving decision quality seeking an optimal concept is demonstrated as an iConcept tool. A riser optimization case is demonstrated as an iDesign tool. A mooring integrity checker is illustrated as an iOperate tool. Results validate that challenges in asset life-cycle management can be overcome and that the proposed disruptive approach offers quick, logical, strategic, and insightful means for managing the value maximization of an asset.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization of manufacturing and the enlargement of production networks bear the problem of logistics. These worldwide non-hierarchical manufacturing and distributing networks are characterized by non-centralized decision making, thus increasing the autonomy of the hub organizations and enabling different rules and procedures for decision making within the same supply chain, but decreasing the effectiveness in terms of integration, interoperability, and transportation. The major cause for that is due to different systems and information structures. This paper suggests aligning the different enterprises operating within the network, using morphisms to relate and develop transformations between their information models and a common data exchange standard. Also, in order to manage the dynamism of internal information systems, a multi-agent framework is proposed to detect changes, being capable of reacting to sustain the interoperability-enabling morphisms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Oil and gas refinery operations are under constant pressure to enhance efficiency and ensure uninterrupted processing. The adoption of predictive maintenance strategies has emerged as a pivotal solution, enabling real-time anomaly detection, predicting pressure fluctuations, and monitoring asset health. An illuminating example hails from a downstream operator in Western Australia that strategically harnesses the power of IoT and AI/ML. For them, revenue hinges on the streamlined delivery of gas processing services to customers, amplifying the significance of process efficiency gains. Leveraging on-site equipment data analysis, this approach significantly minimizes on-site maintenance requirements and automates back-office tasks, reducing manual data analysis and response generation in maintenance permit systems. The technical infrastructure involves wireless sensor-enabled data collection transmitted to a centralized hub, where machine learning algorithms detect equipment defects. Rapid reporting of these defects to decision-makers, accompanied by contextual insights, empowers swift, informed decision-making. This innovative solution has expanded business horizons, enabling the processing of gas for external entities alongside producing their reservoir gas in the downstream processing plant.

Full textAbstract:
This is the second paper in a two-part study on active rotor-blade vibration control using electro-magnetic actuation. This part is focused on experimental aspects of implementing active control into coupled rotor-blade systems. A test rig, equipped with electro-magnetic actuators and various sensors to monitor the system vibration levels, is specially designed. The aim of the rig is to demonstrate the feasibility of controlling rotor and blade vibrations using a modal control scheme capable to handle the time-periodicity of this kind of system. Two different active controlled rotor-blade systems are considered in the present study: (a) a tuned bladed rotor, controlled with help of actuators attached to the rotating blades; (b) a deliberately mistuned bladed rotor controlled only by shaft based actuation. Experimental tests are carried out for both systems. Some experimental problems regarding control implementation are identified and discussed especially when the controller order and the number of actuators in the centralized control scheme become too high. For the blade mistuned system, controlled by using only rotor/hub based actuation, the controller works well. Despite of implementation difficulties of the modal control scheme due to high sensitivity to model imperfections, it can be concluded that the periodic modal control methodology applied to controller design works well and can become a very useful and powerful tool for designing mechatronic machine elements.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Digitalization is rapidly transforming oil and gas industry, particularly in real-time drilling operations. Many years back, manually-drawn wellsite striplogs were mostly used to assist drilling operations. The legacy technique encountered major challenges such as data accessibility, paper-based interpretation preservation and decision-making process delays. The technologies introduced offer significant improvements where processes with digitalization help build reliable systems for wellsite operations to overcome the challenges by providing an innovative solution to monitor drilling on 24/7 basis. The implemented solution is customized based on an in-depth analysis of exploration workflows. It empowers geologists with interactive interpretation features for casing points identification, lithology interpretation and well correlation utilizing visually-rich log templates. Furthermore, a full integration with corporate repositories and map services is established to facilitate access to drilling, geological and petrophysical data. Due to the criticality of exploration drilling operations, computing services are configured using distributed redundant systems architecture to ensure high availability. The implementation significantly minimizes manual data entry of active wells, which enhances data quality in an efficient manner. The integration with corporate databases and key vendor applications provides a centralized hub for all wellsite geological operations and achieves improved correlation results. The utilization of the interactive GIS maps improves well location identification, spatial measurements with offset wells and reports on relevant log data availability to create geologically meaningful correlation charts. The solution enhances the overall performance by providing an efficient and streamlined access to a cutting-edge set of geological interpretation tools from rig-site utilizing satellite communication. This technology enabled the digitization of more than 5000 wells with standardized business rules to build a consolidated database for wellsite daily operations. The introduced single hub that enables access to geological interpretation data allows geologist to generate customized reports to summarize drilling operations to executive management. Advanced data analytics features and dashboards are implemented to reveal unseen patterns of current and historical data. The comprehensive framework offers digital transformation opportunities such as formation tops prediction and drilling cutting images classification. Furthermore, mobility features will be introduced to provide reliable access anytime, anywhere to facilitate faster decision-making process.

Full textAbstract:
The 21st century has witnessed several transformations in international structure. The state-building process in the aftermath of the Iraq Invasion in 2003 was a cornerstone in the transformation of sovereignty as it implied the internationalized state form in the periphery of the capitalist international division of labor. However, the Western agenda of transforming the region and beyond with economic as well as military interventions faced a challenge from the Russia-China axis. These two countries became the focal point of resistance within the capitalist system, forcing Western capitalism to address this challenge. During the last decade, Russia was involved in military conflicts in Eurasian territories, where formerly Western powers had the upper hand. On the other hand, China became a hub for an alternative source of capital to Western institutions such as the IMF and WB, with its highly centralized and condensed financial power. These two countries offered an alternative to the Western type of articulation to the international markets, emphasizing the ‘old’ understanding of sovereignty. This study firstly aims to examine the transformation (thus, internationalization) of sovereignty as an agenda of Western capitalism by looking at Western powers’ policies during and after the Iraq invasion. Then, it will scrutinize the challenge to this transformation by the Eurasian axis with its persistence on the ‘national’ sovereignty of the peripheral countries they are exporting capital and establishing new political and military affairs with. Lastly, the study concludes with the possible prospects of these two rival sovereignty claims and the consequences they evoke.

Full textAbstract:
The strategic convergence between Russia, Iran, and China poses a growing systemic threat to the European Union. Despite differing regional agendas, these three powers are increasingly aligned in key areas such as cybersecurity, military technology transfers, intelligence cooperation, and disinformation campaigns. Their coordinated efforts undermine the EU’s critical infrastructure, weaken its strategic autonomy, and erode trust in democratic institutions by targeting sectors such as energy, finance, healthcare, and electoral integrity. Although the EU has implemented sanctions and reinforced its cybersecurity framework, it continues to address these actors largely in isolation, failing to recognize the cumulative security impact of their trilateral cooperation. Particular vulnerabilities include the transfer of advanced knowledge and dual-use technologies via academic and industrial partnerships with China, the use of hybrid warfare tactics by Iran—including cyberattacks and propaganda—and Russia’s ongoing infiltration of European digital networks and information ecosystems. To address this, the EU must adopt a coherent, forward-looking strategythat moves beyond fragmented responses. This entails the establishment of a centralized threat assessment hub coordinating intelligence from Member States, the restriction of academic and technological partnerships with high-risk third countries, the reinforcement of cyber resilience through joint infrastructure protection drills with NATO, and the creation of a targeted investment mechanism to reduce dependency on foreign critical technologies. These concrete instruments, when integrated, can strengthen Europe’s defense capabilities, reduce strategic dependencies, and safeguard its democratic and technological sovereignty.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study focuses on understanding the structure of networks of financial institutions in the Philippines. The literature notes that the financial sector occupies a central position within corporate networks. More importantly, the significance of deepening understanding of the connections within the financial sector stems from its role as an intermediate sector. The financial sector is crucial because of its role in promoting efficiency in other economic sectors. In fact, this sector occupies a unique position of influence regarding how the wealth of an economy is generated and allocated. Using a network lens, the structure of interrelationships via ownership is examined to draw insights related to corporate control, competition, and financial sector development. Data from the Philippine Stock Exchange on publicly listed financial companies and their networks is utilized to distinguish between subsidiary networks, ownership networks, and networks created by board interlocks. The subsidiary network of financial companies is found to be fragmented, and the connections among members of a group are closely knit. Subsidiary networks exhibit a hub-and-spoke structure, with a parent company in the center and subsidiaries around it. This centralized structure is thought to be used by investment companies to pool assets, cut costs, and improve efficiency. Financial institutions also diversify their portfolios by owning various companies not only in the financial sector but also in other sectors. Evidence of interconnections among companies in the financial sector and between financial companies and others is found. The networks formed via interlocks of board members and officers show a high proportion of triples, suggesting ease of reaching others within a short distance—a characteristic of the small-world phenomenon. The finding of an interconnected network, nearly a single-component network, also suggests that the extent of corporate control can be broad.

Full textAbstract:
This report analyzes the possible evolution of the hydrogen transport infrastructure system in the Basque Country in the medium term. The objective of the work is threefold: (1) to characterize medium-term infrastructure development scenarios (over a 10-15 year horizon); (2) to identify key factors that influence the development of the Basque hydrogen system and analyze their potential impact on the determination of the medium-term scenario; (3) to draw conclusions of a strategic nature for the Basque Country. The hydrogen production-transport system scenarios analyzed range from a totally decentralized scenario (with production infrastructures on site, at consumption facilities or in industrial hubs) to a totally centralized system designed on the basis of the current gas network. The main conclusion of the report is that the optimal strategy in the short term from the point of view of the Basque Country involves supporting a rapid deployment of hydrogen in industrial hubs (Port of Bilbao area), while a wait-and-see position should be maintained to see how the sector develops in the coming years to advance in the configuration of infrastructures in the longer term.

Este informe analiza la posible evolución del sistema de infraestructuras de transporte de hidrógeno en el País Vasco en el medio plazo. El objetivo del trabajo es triple: (1) caracterizar escenarios de desarrollo de infraestructuras a medio plazo (en un horizonte de 10-15 años); (2) identificar factores clave que tienen influencia sobre el desarrollo del sistema de hidrógeno vasco y analizar su potencial impacto en la determinación del escenario a medio plazo; (3) extraer conclusiones de carácter estratégico para el País Vasco. Los escenarios analizados del sistema de producción-transporte de hidrógeno abarcan desde un escenario totalmente descentralizado (con infraestructuras de producción on site, en las instalaciones de consumo o en hubs industriales) hasta un sistema totalmente centralizado y diseñado a partir de la red gasista actual. La principal conclusión del informe es que la estrategia óptima en el corto plazo desde el punto de vista del País Vasco implica apoyar un despliegue rápido del hidrógeno en los hubs industriales (zona del Puerto de Bilbao), mientras que deberá mantenerse una posición de esperar y ver cómo se desarrolla el sector en los próximos años para avanzar en la configuración de las infraestructuras a más largo plazo.

This research is grounded in the theory that scale-free networks form between many organizations in a community when coordinating social care services and influential hubs in the network emerge (Barabási & Réka, 1999).We explore the variability in the structures of social care networks, focusing on how the diverse needs of community members and the array of providers influence these structures. We posit that the architecture of these networks may hold the key to discerning patterns in community health and social outcomes. Our study examines the resilience of social care networks, defining them as systems designed to enhance interactions among all nodes to meet diverse community needs. We discuss community as a network and community resilience as a process, introducing three key properties—scale-free, small world, and hubness/information spreading scores, for understanding network resilience. We analyzed 20 social care networks, which have been active over an 18-month period using the referral technology tool to send and receive service referrals, providing raw interaction data among organizational nodes. We focused on two primary objectives: 1) Social care networks are more likely to exhibit scale-free properties and contain influential hubs; and 2) There is significant variability among social care networks in terms of scale-free properties and centrality measures. Using the three properties—small world, scale-free, and hubness/information spreading scores—we classified the 20 social care networks into different structural profiles. We analyzed node,edge radius, diameter, to understand the network structure characteristics. Our findings highlighted four distinct network structures, which we ranked from most to least resilient. We discussed the implications of these structures on community-level outcomes, including the potential centralized vulnerability when hubs and information spreaders overlap, creating efficiency during normal operations but also increasing vulnerability to disruptions. Our findings offer insights into the emergent properties of complex systems, particularly in networks intentionally designed to enhance resilience and meet diverse community needs. We conclude by discussing the variability in centrality and structural metrics within the identified groups and propose future research directions to explore the long-term impact of these network structures.
