We show that factor forecasting models deliver real-time gains over autoregressive models for US real activity variables during the recent period, but are less successful for nominal variables. The gains are largely due to the Financial Crisis period, and are primarily at the shortest (one quarter ahead) horizon. Excluding the preGreat Moderation years from the factor forecasting model estimati...

A common approach towards the role of the moderator in Internet discussions is to see him as a filter. In this article I want to show that the moderator in government-initiated Internet discussions about public issues can be seen as a democratic intermediary, and that this role has the potential to enhance the quality of those discussions as forms of deliberative democracy. I develop a conceptu...

Resum Moderation in virtual communities should not be a private privilege. This paper proposes a method for participants in a social network to decide their own rules for accepting (or not) contents. With the norm argument map, participants are able to argue about norms and voice their opinions about other people?s arguments. This structure, equipped with a method to fuse all the data introduce...

This article describes and validates an agent-based model that integrates social psychological theories on collective effort, group identity, and interpersonal bonds to understand trade-offs in designing online communities. The model is then used to examine when different types of moderation in online communities will be valuable: no moderation in which all members are exposed to all messages, ...

In this study, on the combination of chlorpromazine with two aromatic rings, halogens are attached to the rings, and changes in the angles and lengths of the ipsos are calculated. Calculations show that by changing the halogen based on the amount of electronegativity, the magnitude and variation of the angular lengths The lengths of the links also change in the following order. The angles of th...

In behavioral sciences, researchers often examine whether any linear moderations exist in their studies. That is, they evaluate the extent (i.e., magnitude, direction) to which a linear effect of a predictor X (e.g., cognitive ability) on a criterion Y (e.g., performance) may differ across the levels of a moderator M (e.g., gender). In that case, researchers often run a liner regression analysi...

This study presents a meta-analysis synthesizing the existing research on the effectiveness of workplace coaching. We exclusively explore workplace coaching provided by internal or external coaches and therefore exclude cases of manager-subordinate and peer coaching. We propose a framework of potential outcomes from coaching in organizations, which we examine meta-analytically (k = 17). Our ana...
