Risk prediction and credibility detection of network public opinion using blockchain technology

Zeyu Wang et al.

Summary: This study aims to improve the accuracy of risk prediction and credibility detection of network public opinion (NPO) and optimize the network environment using blockchain technology. A smart contract is used to build a risk management system of NPO, enabling the tracing of public opinion through a smart ledger. The study introduces blockchain, NPO, and related theories, discusses the network situation of public opinion dissemination in the blockchain environment, implements a BT-based risk management model for NPO, and conducts experiments to verify its effectiveness. The research also optimizes the theoretical framework of NPO credibility model detection based on the public opinion risk prediction model. The results show that the experimental schemes could reasonably predict and detect the risk and credibility of NPO under the BT, contributing to the optimization of network environment control measures.

The Expansion of Higher Education and the Education-Health Gradient in the United States

Robert T. Frase et al.

Summary: The United States experienced rapid expansion in higher education from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s.

Findings suggest that education expansion improved the health of individuals who earned a degree due to the expansion, but also exacerbated health inequalities through displacement mechanisms.
