Culture and the self: Implications for cognition, emotion, and motivation

by Hazel Rose Markus, Shinobu Kitayama - Psychological Review , 1991
"... People in different cultures have strikingly different construals of the self, of others, and of the interdependence of the 2. These construals can influence, and in many cases determine, the very nature of individual experience, including cognition, emotion, and motivation. Many Asian cultures have ..."

. In contrast, individuals seek to maintain their independence from others by attending to the self and by discovering and expressing their unique inner attributes. As proposed herein, these construals are even more powerful than previously imagined. Theories of the self from both psychology and anthropology

Forecasting bankruptcy more accurately: a simple hazard model

by Tyler Shumway - 0 otherwise P (Yit = 1) = FLOGIT (z 0 (i;t) ) with Yit = 1 , Y it < 0 where Y it = c + Z 0 (i;t) + " (i;t) and the , 2001
"... I argue that hazard models are more appropriate for forecasting bankruptcy than the single-period models used previously. Single-period bankruptcy models give biased and inconsistent probability estimates while hazard models produce consistent estimates. I describe a simple technique for estimating ..."

Inconsistency management and prioritized syntax-based entailment

by Salem Benferhat, Claudette Cayrol, Didier Dubois, Jerome Lang, Henri Prade , 1993
"... The idea of ordering plays a basic role in commonsense reasoning for addressing three interrelated tasks: inconsistency handling, belief revision and plausible inference. We study the behavior of non-monotonic inferences induced by various methods for priority-based handling of inconsistent sets of ..."

Analysing Inconsistent Specifications

by Anthony Hunter, Bashar Nuseibeh - In Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Requirements Engineering , 1997
"... In previous work we advocated continued development of specifications in the presence of inconsistency. To support this we presented quasi-classical (QC) logic for reasoning with inconsistent specifications. The logic allows the derivation of non-trivial classical inferences from inconsistent inform ..."

Managing Inconsistencies in an Evolving Specification

by Steve Easterbrook, Bashar Nuseibeh - SECOND IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING , 1995
"... In an evolving specification, considerable development time and effort is spent handling recurrent inconsistencies. Tools and techniques for detecting and resolving inconsistencies only address part of the problem: they do not ensure that a resolution generated at a particular stage will apply at ..."
Abstract - Cited by 52 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
at all subsequent stages of the specification process. Previously, we have advocated tolerance and management of inconsistency, rather than strict enforcement of consistency. The advantages of this approach include the ability to delay resolution, facilitation of concurrent development, and greater

Menstrual cycle characteristics in European and Inuit women exposed to persistent organochlorine pollutants

Computing repairs for inconsistent databases

by S. Greco, C. Sirangelo, I. Trubitsyna, E. Zumpano - In CODAS ’01 , 2001
"... The objective of this paper is to investigate the prob-lems related to the extensional integration of information sources. In particular, we propose an approach for man-aging inconsistent databases, i.e. databases violating in-tegrity constraints. The presence of inconsistent data can be resolved by ..."

repair is preferred if it minimizes the value of the polynomial function used to ex-press the preference criteria. The main contribution of this work consists in the proposal of a logic approach for query-ing and repairing inconsistent databases that extends previ-ous works by aallowing to express

Querying Inconsistent Databases: Algorithms and Implementation

by Er Celle, Leopoldo Bertossi, Católica Chile, Escuela De Ingeniería - in: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Logic (CL’00), Springer LNAI 1861
"... Abstract. In this paper, an algorithm for obtaining consistent answers to queries posed to inconsistent relational databases is presented. This is a query rewriting algorithm proven to be sound, terminating and complete for some classes of integrity constraints that extend those previously considere ..."

Measuring the perception of light inconsistencies

by Jorge Lopez-moreno, Veronica Sundstedt, Francisco Sangorrin Diego Gutierrez - Proceedings of the 7th Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization, ACM
"... In this paper we explore the ability of the human visual system to detect inconsistencies in the illumination of objects in images. We specifically focus on objects being lit from different angles as the rest of the image. We present the results of three different tests, two with synthetic objects a ..."

Inconsistency Management Policies

by Maria Vanina Martinez, Francesco Parisi, Andrea Pugliese, Gerardo I. Simari, V. S. Subrahmanian - PROCEEDINGS, ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PRINCIPLES OF KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION AND REASONING , 2008
"... Though there is much work on how inconsistency in databases should be managed, there is good reason to believe that end users will want to bring their domain expertise and needs to bear in how to deal with inconsistencies. In this paper, we propose the concept of inconsistency management policies (I ..."

(IMPs). We show that IMPs are rich enough to specify many types of inconsistency management methods proposed previously, but provide end users with tools that allow them to use the policies that they want. Our policies are also capable of allowing inconsistency to persist in the database
