This study examines the relationship between personality and quality of life (QOL) in psychiatric outpatients (N=495). Personality was conceptualized using two-dimensional models, respectively, the five-factor model (FFM) and Cloninger's seven-factor model. The WHOQOL-100 was used for assessing QOL. Neuroticism and Harm Avoidance had negative correlations with QOL, whereas Extraversion, Conscie...

With the ever-increasing amount of digitized music becoming available, metadata is a key driver for different music related application domains. A service that combines different metadata sources should be aware of the existence of different schemas to store and exchange music metadata. The user of a metadata provider could benefit from knowledge about the metadata needs for different music app...

The psychometric properties of the newest version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (the TCI-R) were evaluated in a large (n = 727) community sample, as was the TCI-140, a short inventory derivative. Facets-to-scale confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses of the TCI-R did not support the organization of temperament and character facet scales within their superordinate domains. Fiv...

Academic researchers in artificial intelligence tend to use computational ontologies for knowledge modeling whereas commercial developers tend to use XML schemas, even though there is considerable overlap between the two representations considered as models of knowledge domains. Each representation has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to the other. There are active initiatives on t...

Personality interacts with psychosocial variables, psychopathology and coping strategies of patients with schizophrenia. Psychobiological model of personality is important for schizophrenia as temperament dimensions, except dimension Persistence, have been associated with different neurotransmitter systems. Comorbidity of psychiatric and somatic disorders and syndromes is generally associated w...

We consider the problem of planning in complex domains where actions are stochastic, non-instantaneous, may occur concurrently, and time is represented explicitly. Our approach is based on the situation calculus based language Golog. Instead of general search for a sequence of actions, as in classical planning, we consider the problem of computing a deterministic, sequential program (with stoch...

Abstract Several adverse psychological outcomes among sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are well documented in the literature. Notwithstanding emergence of these data, SGM still receive little attention regarding interventions, which include Schema Therapy (ST), an emerging integrative psychotherapy approach. Even though revisions have been proposed to expand ST’s understanding emotional needs...

Data integration systems often provide a uniform interface, called a mediated schema, to a multitude of disparate data sources. To answer user queries posed over the mediated schema, such systems employ a set of semantic matches between this schema and the local schemas of the data sources. Finding such matches is well known to be difficult. Hence much work has focused on developing semi-automa...
