During the COVID-19 crisis, we face a wide range of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors on social media that play a significant role in spreading information regarding COVID-19. Trustful information, together with hopeful messages, could be used to control people's emotions and reactions during pandemics. This study examines Iranian society's resilience in the face of the Corona crisis and provides a strategy to promote resilience in similar situations. It investigates posts and news related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, to determine which messages and references have caused concern in the community, and how they could be modified? and also which references were the most trusted publishers? Social network analysis methods such as clustering have been used to analyze data. In the present work, we applied a two-stage clustering method constructed on the self-organizing map and K-means. Because of the importance of social trust in accepting messages, This work examines public trust in social posts. The results showed trust in the health-related posts was less than social-related and cultural-related posts. The trusted posts were shared on Instagram and news sites. Health and cultural posts with negative polarity affected people's trust and led to negative emotions such as fear, disgust, sadness, and anger. So, we suggest that non-political discourses be used to share topics in the field of health.

Nowadays, some e-advice websites and social media like e-commerce businesses, provide not only their goods but a new way that their customers can give their opinions about products. Meanwhile, there are some review spammers who try to promote or demote some specific products by writing fraud reviews. There have been several types of researches and studies toward detecting these review spammers, but most studies are based on individual review spammers and few of them studied group review spammers, nevertheless it should be mentioned that review spammers can increase their effects by cooperating and working together. More words, there have been many features introduced in order to detect review spammers and it is better to use the efficient ones. In this paper we propose a novel framework, named Network Based Group Review Spammers which tries to identify and classify group review spammers with the usage of the heterogeneous information network. In addition to eight basic features for detecting group review spammers, three efficient new features from previous studies were modified and added in order to improve detecting group review spammers. Then with the definition of Meta-path, features are ranked. Results showed that by using the importance of features and adding three new features in the suggested framework, group review spammers detection is improved on Amazon dataset.
