Majority of researcher are attracted by the social network analysis due to the rush of people towards social network. Along with many problems, social network analysis is facing an interesting problem that is ranking of users in social network which is gaining more attention due to the increasing number of social users. Measuring centrality of nodes in a social graph, have been important issue in social network analysis. Lot of centrality methods have been proposed in this regard. In this paper, hop based centrality measures called SAM is purposed. To investigate the measure, we applied on various dataset. In comparisons, on all these social graphs, we obtain better results than other centrality measures (i.e., Degree, PageRank, Betweeness and Closeness) using SIR model.

“…The problems that arise when public policy is guided by misinformation or 'fake news' [20] about a science do not apply only to Northern Ireland or the UK [106][107][108]. Elsewhere, parents of children with autism, professionals who want to deliver ABA-based services, and academics who teach the science have similar experiences [109]. Within discussions of politics and science, Lupia [12] recognised that this scenario is not uncommon:…”

“…Unfortunately, as outlined in this paper, at times the use of propaganda strategies [17] has resulted in public policy decisions that are based on 'fake news' [121]. This is not to say that the science of behaviour analysis does not value legitimate criticisms [109,122]. However, parents of children with autism increasingly reach the conclusion that self-help [104] and/or legal action [123][124][125][126] is the only way they can safeguard the rights of their children to have access to educationally and medically necessary supports and interventions [127,128], thus protecting their children against people who bring politics into science instead of using science to inform public policy.…”

How ‘Fake News’ Affects Autism Policy

Since autism was first recognised, prevalence has increased rapidly. The growing economic as well as social cost to families and society can only be mitigated by effective interventions and supports. It is, therefore, not surprising that there is much heated debate and most governments have developed public policies to address the management of autism. This paper describes how well-known 'propaganda' techniques, that have become prevalent in the helping professions have been used to influence autism policies by spreading 'fake news' about the scientific discipline of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Over the past 40-50 years, meaningful evidence has accrued showing that interventions based on ABA can help people with autism reach their potential. In view of this, nearly all of North America has laws to mandate that ABA-based interventions are available through their health care systems. In contrast, across Europe there are no such laws. In fact, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the body guiding health and social policy in the UK, concluded that it could not find any evidence to support ABA, and therefore could not recommend it. This paper addresses the reasons for these diametrically opposed perspectives.

“…a useful benchmark for advocacy in the fight for professional recognition of behaviour analysts internationally (Gandalovičová, 2016;Keenan et al, 2014;Kelly et al, 2018). Not surprisingly, therefore, the decision by the BACB sent shock waves across the international behaviour analyst community.…”

Higher education, behaviour analysis, and autism: time for coalescence

This special issue represents the cumulation of discussions at the 2 nd International Summit on Higher Education, Autism, and Behavior Analysis that was held in Stockholm, Sweden, January 2018. This summit followed the 1 st International Summit that was held in Texas, USA, September 2009. At that time, the rapidly rising prevalence rates of autism worldwide and the urgency of consumer protection meant that the summit focused on developing suitable Higher Education programs for behaviour analysts. The proceedings of the 1 st Summit were published in a special issue of the European Journal of Behavior Analysis (Ala'i-Rosales et al., 2010). Since then, the discipline has grown exponentially. We now have 306 Higher Education institutes that deliver verified course sequences (VCS) in Behaviour Analysis worldwide. However, most of these courses are located in the USA (n = 217), with only 34 of these courses located in Europe, and the quality of community-based support for families affected by autism remains a major concern (Keenan & Dillenburger, 2018; Roll-Pettersson et al., 2016). The purpose of the 2 nd Summit was to discuss future directions, requirements, opportunities, and challenges for Higher Education in the field of Behaviour Analysis, specifically with regards to autism intervention. Globalisation and disciplinary identity At the end of December 2019, the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) notified the international community about changes to their certification procedures to come into force by the end of 2022. Up until then, behaviour analysts worldwide could become Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), based on their training and experience, regardless of their place of residence. After this date, only residents of the USA/Canada will be able to sit the BCBA exam. The reason for this decision was anchored in requirements for recognition by the professional body in the USA/Canada. For obvious legal reasons, professional bodies can only approve a profession within their own country boundaries and jurisdiction. Of course, this is true also for European countries. While the BCBA was not professionally recognised in any European government, it had served as
