In the replication crisis in psychology, a “tone debate” has developed. It concerns question of how to conduct scientific debate effectively and ethically. How should scientists give critique without unnecessarily damaging relations? The increasing use Facebook Twitter by researchers made this issue especially pressing, as these social technologies have greatly expanded possibilities for conver...

It is increasingly apparent that social media is a unique and important resource to explore spontaneous relations and discourses among individuals. Data analysis in social media, however, is difficult because approaches have not been streamlined. In this paper, we move from the discussion of present perspectives in the analysis of social media to then discuss the methodological strategies avail...

Social cooperation often relies on individuals’ spontaneous norm obedience when there is no punishment for violation or reward for compliance. However, people do not consistently follow pro-social norms. Previous studies have suggested that an individual’s tendency toward norm conformity is affected by empirical information (i.e. what others did or would do in a similar situation) as well as by...

Three models of expert-public interaction in science and technology communication are central: the dissemination model (often called the deficit model), the dialogue model, and the participation model. These three models constitute a multi-model framework for studying science and technology communication and are often described along an evolutionary continuum, from dissemination to dialogue, an...

The thesis posits that analytical studies relating to knowledge based industries (especially social media) as rent seeking organization must be revisited. Proponents of cognitive capitalism, especially Autonomist Marxists attribute sources of revenue in knowledge based industries to “rent seeking behavior” departing from Marx’s labor theory of value. Industrial production process requires capit...

We develop the scheme of indefinite constraint databases using first-order logic as our representation language. When this scheme is instantiated with temporal constraints, the resulting formalism is more expressive than standard temporal constraint networks. The extra representational power allows us to express temporal knowledge and queries that have been impossible to express before. To make...

This paper refines and extends the empirical base of previous work on children’s use of referring expressions in spontaneous discourse within the Givenness Hierarchy framework, and further develops implications of this work for our understanding of the development of a theory of mind. The study supports earlier findings that children use definite and indefinite articles, demonstrative determine...

— We give a proof, based on the Poincaré inequality, of the symmetric property (τ) for the Gaussian measure. If f :Rd → R is continuous, bounded from below and even, we define Hf(x) = infy f(x+y)+ 1 2 |y|2 and we have ∫ e−f dγd ∫ e dγd 1. This property is equivalent to a certain functional form of the BlaschkeSantaló inequality, as explained in a paper by Artstein, Klartag and Milman. RÉSUMÉ. —...

In this paper, we present deadline-constraints causal order protocol respecting Δ based on P/S architecture for broadcast of real-time collaborative applications in social networks to guarantee causally ordered messages delivery from brokers to subscribers. Every broker disseminates a broadcast message with a 1-Scalar, the time-stamped information that represents the maximum gossip round, that ...
