Callous-unemotional and borderline traits, antisocial behaviors, depressive symptoms and social anxiety were assessed in 972 high-school students. Cluster analysis yielded four groups: a low traits group, a second group that was above the mean in callous-unemotional traits and below the mean in borderline traits (moderate callous-unemotional traits cluster), a third group that was well above th...

Certain clinical traits (e.g., ruminative response style, self-criticism, perfectionism, anxiety sensitivity, fear of negative evaluation, and thought suppression) increase the risk for and chronicity of emotional disorders. Similar to traditional personality traits, they are considered dispositional and typically show high temporal stability. Because the personality and clinical-traits literat...

Traits offer a fine-grained mechanism to compose classes from reusable components while avoiding problems of fragility brought by multiple inheritance and mixins. Traits as originally proposed are stateless, that is, they contain only methods, but no instance variables. State can only be accessed within traits by accessors, which become required methods of the trait. Although this approach work...

A decade into the Syrian war, Lebanon remains country hosting largest number of refugees per capita worldwide, limiting their work to three sectors economy. Most employed have therefore been active in informal market under indecent and insecure working conditions. One solution currently being promoted by humanitarian development organisations private sector is that digital web-based labour mark...

Relationships between breeding field-test traits and competition traits were studied to investigate whether the latter could be usefully included in the genetic evaluation of Icelandic horses. The current method of genetic evaluation is based on records from breeding field-tests only. The breeding field-test data included 16401 individual records of Icelandic horses evaluated in 11 countries du...

Despite the undisputed prominence of inheritance as the fundamental reuse mechanism in object-oriented programming languages, the variants – single inheritance, multiple inheritance, and mixin inheritance – all suffer from conceptual and practical problems. Traits overcome the problems arising with the different variants of inheritance. Traits are essentially groups of methods that serve as bui...

Traits are fine-grained components that can be used to compose classes, while avoiding many of the problems of multiple inheritance and mixin-based approaches. Since most implementations of traits have focused on dynamically-typed languages, the question naturally arises, how can one best introduce traits to statically-typed languages, like Java and C#? In this paper we argue that the flattenin...
