“…Each node involves a different number of connections in the HnICN, so the network structure of HnICN is a topology with different densities for each node [ 27 , 28 ], where the density indicates the potential collaboration range of each node. In fact, the information collaboration process related to a certain matter may require multiple departments’ participation.…”

The increase of the aging population in China and the rise of the concept of healthy aging have accelerated the transformation and upgrading of the traditional elderly nursing pattern. Nevertheless, there is a critical limitation existing in the current situation of China’s elderly care, i.e., the medical institutions do not support elderly nursing and the elderly nursing institutions do not facilitate access to medical care. To eliminate the adverse impact of this issue, twelve ministries and commissions of the Chinese government have jointly issued a document, i.e., the Several Opinions on Further Promoting the Development of Combining the Healthcare with the Elderly care (SOFPDCHE), to provide guidance from the government level for further promoting the integration of elderly healthcare and elderly nursing. Under this background, this paper constructs a healthcare–nursing information collaboration network (HnICN) based on the SOFPDCHE, proposing three novel strategies to explore the different roles and collaboration relationships of relevant government departments and public organizations in this integration process, i.e., the node identification strategy (NIS), the local adjacency subgroup strategy (LASS), and the information collaboration effect measurement strategy (ICEMS). Furthermore, this paper retrieves 484 valid policy documents related to “the integration of elderly healthcare and elderly nursing” as data samples on the official websites of 12 sponsored ministries and commissions, and finally confirms 22 government departments and public organizations as the network nodes based on these obtained documents, such as the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China (NHC), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (MIIT), and the National Working Commission on Aging (NWCA). In terms of the collaboration effect, the results of all node-pairs in the HnICN are significantly different, where the collaboration effect between the NHC and MIIT is best and that between the NATCM and MIIT is second best, which are 84.572% and 20.275%, respectively. This study provides the quantifiable results of the information collaboration degree between different government agencies and forms the optimization scheme for the current collaboration status based on these results, which play a positive role in integrating elderly healthcare and elderly nursing and eventually achieving healthy aging.

“…Furthermore, by considering the dependency of DMs' interactions to their current and past opinions, a memory-based connectivity mechanism for opinion dynamics models under social network is proposed in [160]. In addition, for social networks with switching topology, an opinion dynamics model is proposed in [161],…”

“…In [20], the competition was introduced into the continuous-time DG model, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for opinion polarization were obtained when the signed graph was structurally balanced. However, since the structurally unbalanced network had a very complex structure, the structurally unbalanced networks were less discussed [25]. Although competition may be a source of inconsistency, the authors of [25] pointed out that opinions could achieve a consensus in a signed network.…”

In this paper, the leader-follower architecture is constructed by combining intermittent-influence leaders with a signed social network. Unlike a typical network with leaders where leaders are supposed to continuously influence followers, in this article, the leaders intermittently influence followers. Furthermore, the number of influences is limited. We focus on how intermittent-influence leaders impact the evolution of followers’ opinions. The relationship between followers’ opinions and the number of leader broadcasts is analyzed in detail. Then, the number of broadcasts is regarded as the cost, and the changing trend of the revenue per broadcast is obtained. The results show that as the number of broadcasts increases, the revenue per broadcast decreases gradually. Finally, the concept of assimilation is introduced to weigh the costs and benefits, and the minimum number of broadcasts required for the leader to assimilate the followers is derived. Two examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the main conclusions.
