The purpose of this study is to examine the role of interaction between mass media and people in the diffusion of innovation using the Trust-Distrust model, one of the theories of opinion dynamics. Therefore, in this study, we ran simulations using the Trust-Distrust model to confirm the differences in opinion distribution across different network structures. We used the five adopter categories as the agents of the Trust-Distrust model and applied the random network, scale-free network, and small-world network as the networks for simulation. As a result, we confirmed that differences in network structure lead to differences in the diffusion of innovations (distribution of opinions).

In this paper, we discuss the decision optimization of tourism projects in Hebei Province, China. To improve the process of analyzing tourism projects, we introduce a model that includes multiple decision makers as subjects based on a standard four-dimensional evaluation system. In order to improve the effectiveness of decision-making results, we will increase the number of decision makers to 40.

Stewards of patient data have a duty to respect the preferences of the patients from whom, and for whom, these data are being collected and consolidated.
Methods: We conducted democratic deliberations with a diverse sample of 217 patients treated at 4 sites to assess views about LHSs, using the example of CancerLinQ, a real-world LHS, to stimulate discussion.
Using interviews with residents of Idaho (a rural northwest US state) who identify as skeptical of climate change, we examine how skeptics rationalize their doubts about climate science. Skeptics tend to question the reality and human causes of climate change by (1) raising concerns about incentive structures in science that could bias climatology, (2) doubting the accuracy of data and models used by climate scientists, and (3) perceiving some practices of climate science and scientists as exclusionary. Despite these concerns, skeptics exhibit deference to scientific authority when using scientific assessments to make policy decisions, including environmental policy.

Objective: To date, no study has reported a diagrammatic path model that involves patient-provider communication on pregnant women's adherence to prenatal care recommendations. To bridge this gap, this study aimed to validate a path model to display the direct and indirect influences on adherence to prenatal care recommendations.
Methods: A cross-sectional study founded on an evidence-based proposed theoretical framework was conducted among pregnant women (18-45 years) in their second or third trimester (n = 401) in the Midwestern United States.
