Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die raren Studien zum Schlaf Inhaftierter fokussieren auf Schlafqualität und Insomnie. Aufgrund von Traumatisierung wie belastenden Haftbedingungen ist ein hohes Risiko für Parasomnien, v. a. Alpträume, bei dieser schwer erreichbaren Population anzunehmen. Dennoch gibt es hierzu bislang keine Studien. Ziel war es, Parasomnie- Alptraumprävalenzen in Justizvollzugsanst...

Nightmares are frightening dreams that cause the dreamer to wake, with the events that occur within the nightmare well remembered after awakening. There are those who experience nightmares frequently (at least one nightmare a week). While studying nightmares, Hartmann (1989, 1991) theorized a distinct personality trait he referred to as boundaries of the mind, and conceptualized a boundary cont...

Spreadsheet languages for distributed computing are of great interest because they unite ease of use with the ability to express parallel computations. This paper discusses some issues that these languages raise, in the context of dataflow and intensional programming languages such as Lucid. First, proper design and implementation of spreadsheet languages (as we see it) places stress on both th...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (dmus) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. in this paper, we study the measurement of dmu performances in dea in situations where input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. by imprecise data we mean situations where we only know that the actual val...

Keypoint matching between pairs of images using popular descriptors like SIFT or a faster variant called SURF is at the heart of many computer vision algorithms including recognition, mosaicing, and structure from motion. However, SIFT and SURF do not perform well for real-time or mobile applications. As an alternative very fast binary descriptors like BRIEF and related methods use pairwise com...

The Afrotropical Cynipoidea are represented by 306 described species and 54 genera in four families: Cynipidae, Figitidae, Liopteridae and Ibaliidae, the latter represented by a single introduced species. Seven of these genera are only represented by undescribed species in the region. Seven new genus-level synonymies, one genus resurrected from synonymy, 54 new combinations, one combination rei...

The author examined the associations among sleep-related experiences (e.g., hypnagogic hallucinations, nightmares, waking dreams, and lucid dreams), dissociation, schizotypy, and the Big Five personality traits in 2 large student samples. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that (a) dissociation and schizotypy are strongly correlated-yet distinguishable-constructs, and (b) the differentiatio...
