Get PDFThree studies were performed to investigate the psychometric properties of the paper- and-pencil and online versions of the Italian Saving Inventory-Revised (SI-R) in nonclinical participants. In Study 1, the SI-R was administered to a community sample of 473 participants together with measures of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, compulsive shopping, depression, and anxiety. In Study 2, temporal stability of the SI-R was investigated by administering the scale to 75 participants twice with a 4-week interval in between. In Study 3, 452 participants completed the SI-R through the internet. Evidence of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and replicability of the original three-correlated-factor structure was obtained. After ruling out the bias due to nonrandomized assignment to administration methods through propensity matching, multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence of measurement invariance among the administration formats. However, higher latent and manifest mean scores were observed in online participants, consistent with the online disinhibition effect. These results suggest that the Italian version of the SI-R retains the psychometric properties of the original in both the paper-and-pencil and online versions, though different norms may be needed

Gekko melli — Rösler et al. 2005; Rösler & Tiedemann 2007; Yang et al. 2012. Gekko (Japonigekko) melli — Wood et al. 2020 Type materials. Lectotype. ZMB 27659 A, adult male, collected by R. Mell from N. O. Kuangtung [= northeastern Guangdong], PR China; designated by Bauer & Günther (1991). Paralectotype. ZMB 27659 B, juvenile, same data as lectotype; designated by Bauer & Günther (1991). Specimens examined. Two adult male and five adult female specimens. Male SYS r000267 (Fig. 5B 1), collect- ed from Mt. Jiulian, Longnan County, Jiangxi Province, PR China; male SYS r000440, and females SYS r000438, 0439, 0451–0452, 0453 (Fig. 5B 2), collected from Mt. Yinping, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, PR China. Common name. Mell’s Gecko (in English); meí shì bì hŭ (h氏ŧt). Etymology. The specific name melli is in reference to the collector Rudolf Emil Mell (1878–1970), who was the director of the German-Chinese Middle School at Canton [= Guangzhou City] and collected many animal specimens in Guangdong. His name appeared in Rösler & Tiedemann (2007) as “Robert Mell” due to a typographical mistake (Herbert Rösler, personal communication). Revised diagnosis. (1) medium-sized gecko species, SVL 64.5–80.3 in adults; (2) tubercles on dorsal body, limbs and tail absent; (3) eye moderate, ED/HL ratio 0.21–0.24; (4) rostral moderate, RW/HW ratio 0.20–0.22, RW/RH ratio 1.83–2.13; (5) mental elongate transversely, MW/HW ratio 0.14–0.18, MW/ML ratio 1.11–1.56; (6) nares bordered with rostral, internasals 1–2; (7) interorbital scales between anterior corners of the eyes 34–40; (8) midbody scale rows 148–160; (9) ventral scale rows at midbody 44–46; (10) scales between mental and cloacal slit 171–192; (11) subdigital lamellae on first fingers 9–11, on fourth fingers 9–14, on first toes 10–12, on fourth toes 11–14; (12) fingers and toes with distinct webbing; (13) 9–11 precloacal pores in a continuous row in males; (14) a single postcloacal tubercle on both sides; (14) dorsum greyish white to dark brown, with iregular large dark patches between nape and sacrum; (15) top of head with an small incomplete W-shaped marking, and posteriorly followed by a large inverted W-shaped marking on dorsal neck. (Fig. 6B). Hemipenial characteristics (Fig. 3B): (1) hemipenis clavate, bilobed, densely covered with denticulate-seamed calyces; (2) sulcus spermaticus centrifugal, bifurcate at half of truncus; (3) lateral welt developed, visible from asulcate side, in contact with sulcus lip; (4) calyces extend to lobes and proximal 1/3 of truncus; (5) tongue-like welt weakly developed; (6) apical folds small, arc-shaped, not in contact with each other; (7) a relatively large and rounded area on the asulcate side of the lobe, calyces on this area not well developed (Fig. 3B, Ch 7). Remark. The original description of Gekko (Japonigekko) melli in Vogt (1922) contained no information of locality or designation of type materials. The lectotype and paralectotype was designated by Bauer & Günther (1991) with providing the locality as “N. O. Kuangtung ” [= northeastern Guangdong] while the exact locus is unavailable. The lectotype and paralectotype were redescribed by Rösler & Tiedemann (2007). Currently, this species is recognized from multiple localities in eastern and northeastern Guangdong and neighboring southern Jiangxi (Yang et al. 2012; this study). G. (J.) melli is also expected to occur in southern Fujian which is geographically related to eastern Guangdong, but confirmation requires further vouchers (see Discussion section).Published as part of Lyu, Zhi-Tong, Lin, Chao-Yu, Ren, Jin-Long, Jiang, Ke, Zhang, Yin-Peng, Qi, Shuo & Wang, Jian, 2021, Review of the Gekko (Japonigekko) subpalmatus complex (Squamata, Sauria Gekkonidae), with description of a new species from China, pp. 236-258 in Zootaxa 4951 (2) on pages 247-249, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4951.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/466397
Predictive and Probabilistic Tracking to Detect Stopped Vehicles
No full textMany techniques and models have been proposed for vehicles surveillance in highways. In the past, tracking algorithms based on Kalman filter have been largely usedfor their efficiency in the prediction and low computationalcost. However, predictive filters can not solve long-lastingocclusions. In this paper, we propose a new mixed predictiveand probabilistic tracking that exploits the advantagesof predictive filters for moving vehicles and adopts probabilistic and appearance-based tracking for stopped vehicles. The proposed tracking is part of a complete videosurveillance system, oriented to control tunnels and highwaysfrom cluttered views, that is implemented in an embeddedDSP platform and provides background suppression,a novel shadow detection algorithm, tracking, and scenerecognition module. The experimental results are obtainedover several hours of videos acquired in pre-existing platforms of CCTV surveillance systems
Auto-iris Compensation for Traffic Surveillance Systems
No full textThis paper addresses auto-iris compensation. Auto-iris can be really troublesome for motion detection and tracking techniques based on background or frame differencing,since it can change quickly the average intensity of thecurrent frame. To cope with this, we introduced a two-step autoiris compensation approach in our traffic monitoring system. First, the auto-iris detection is based on the computation of the average of the luminance difference obtained by background suppression. Then, if an auto-iris is detected, the compensation phase is started. In this phase, the auto-iris’ behaviour is empirically modelled and, thus, compensated. Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed approach, with both quantitative measures and visual analysis

Is it more disgusting if I think about it? Examining the interaction of obsessive beliefs and disgust propensity in clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder
No full textIndependent lines of research have identified disgust propensity and obsessive beliefs to be important affective and cognitive processes in contamination symptoms. In non-clinical samples, a previous study integrated these lines of research and found that disgust propensity more strongly predicted two different measures of contamination fears when obsessive beliefs – particularly overestimation of threat – were higher, suggesting that cognitive factors potentiate the role of disgust propensity in contamination fear. The present study aimed to replicate these findings in a sample of 103 patients with OCD. Unexpectedly, while disgust propensity was related to two self-report measures of contamination fears, obsessive beliefs were not. Moderation analyses failed to reveal an interaction between disgust propensity and obsessive beliefs in predicting contamination fear. It is suggested that disgust propensity is more relevant to clinical contamination fears than are obsessive beliefs – either directly or as a moderating factor. Implications for theory and treatment are discussed
