SIPS - Screening-Instrument für prämenstruelle Symptome : Die deutsche Version des Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool zur Erfassung klinisch relevanter Beschwerden
No full textPremenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and severe Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) are common, yet often remain unrecognized and not adequately treated. One reason for this is the lack of a valid German screening instrument. The aim of the present study was to create a German version of the English "premenstrual symptoms screening tool (PSST)" and to verify its applicability. The German version of the PSST was created as "Screening- Instrument für Prämenstruelle Symptome (SIPS)" and its reliability and validity estimated based on data from 47 women with and without PMDD/severe PMS, using internet-based daily symptom-ratings. The retest-reliability of the SIPS was r=0.69, Cronbach`s Alpha was 0.924. As indicator of the convergent validity of the SIPS, there were significant differences between women with and without PMDD/severe PMS as identified by the SIPS, with regard to prospectively assessed premenstrual symptomatology (F(2,44)=4.52, p>0.001) and symptom change (F(2,44)=25.23, p>0.001). The SIPS is reliable and valid and may help improving the identification of women who require treatment for their premenstrual symptoms

Gazzettino di Venezia - Mercoledì 8 settembre 1937. Rassegna stampa SIPS 1937 (recto)
No full textIl Gazzettino riporta, in prima pagina, due interessanti articoli che fanno riferimento all\u27imminente Riunione della SIPS a Venezia: nel primo il quotidiano da notizia dell\u27adesione al Congresso di Padre Agostino Gemelli in rappresentanza della Pontificia Accademia delle Scienze, di cui è Presidente, oltre che della vasta partecipazione di scienziati e studiosi. Inoltre annuncia la presenza del Re alla cerimonia inaugurale a Palazzo Ducale, ripresa da parte dell\u27Istituto Luce "per essere inclusa in una delle sue cronache cinematografiche".
Nel secondo si annuncia la nomina di 21 fascisti del GUF a segretari aggiunti, nella varie sezioni, per tutta la durata del Congresso.
E\u27 interessante notare che, assieme a notizie sulla SIPS, si trovi un articolo sui Corsi per Stranieri, tenuti regolarmente a Ca\u27Foscari, a testimonianza dell\u27attività didattica e internazionale della Scuola.Segni a pastello rosso sui margini degli articol
The Italian version of the 92-item Prodromal Questionnaire: Concurrent validity with the SIPS and factor analysis in a sample of 258 outpatients aged 11-36years.
No full textBACKGROUND:
Current early screeners for psychosis-risk states have still to prove ability in identifying at-risk individuals. Among screeners, the 92-item Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-92) is often used. We aimed to assess the validity of its Italian translation in a large Italian adolescent and young adult help-seeking sample.
METHODS:
We included all individuals aged 12-36years seeking help at psychiatric mental health services in a large semirural Roman area (534,600 population) who accepted to participate. Participants completed the Italian version of the PQ-92 and were subsequently assessed with the Structured Interview of Prodromal/Psychosis-Risk Syndromes (SIPS). We examined diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) and content, concurrent, and convergent validity between PQ-92 and SIPS using Cronbach's alpha, Cohen's kappa, and Spearman's rho, respectively. We tested the validity of adopted cut-offs through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves plotted against SIPS diagnoses and the instrument's factor-structure through Principal Component Analysis.
RESULTS:
PQ-92 showed high internal consistency, acceptable diagnostic accuracy and concurrent validity, and excellent convergent validity. ROC analyses pointed to scores of 18 on the Positive subscale and 36 on the total PQ-92 as best cut-offs. The Scree-test identified a four-factor solution as fitting best.
CONCLUSIONS:
Psychometric properties of Italian PQ-92 were satisfactory. Optimal cut-offs were confirmed at ≥18 on the positive subscale, but at ≥36 on the total scale was able to identify more SIPS-positive cases

Reliability asssessment of SIPS based on a Safety Integrity Level and Spurious Trip Level
No full textAs the number and complexity of System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) in operation increases very rapidly, it must be ensured that their performance meets the reliability requirements of electrical utilities, in terms of dependability and security. A procedure based on Markov Modeling and Fault Tree Analysis is proposed for assessing SIPS reliability. Many operators tend to have SIPS permanently in service; this reduces the probability the arming software or the human operator will fail to arm the SIPS. Whilst this can decrease the probability of dependability-based misoperation, it may increase the probability of security-based misoperation. Therefore, the impact of having SIPS always armed is examined and compared with the impact of arming the schemes only when required. In addition, two reliability indices are introduced for quantifying the level of SIPS reliability: Safety Integrity Level and Spurious Trip Level. The proposed method is illustrated using the South of Lugo "N-2" SIPS, which is part of the South California Edison grid.</p
Towards ponderomotive squeezing with SIPS experiment
No full textThe core of the experiment presented in this work is a 1-meter scale suspended interferometer with arms cavities, called SIPS (Suspended Interferometer for Ponderomotive Squeezing) and designed to be radiation pressure limited in the frequency band of the gravitational waves ground-based detectors. It will provide both a source of squeezed states by ponderomotive effect and a suitable test bench for the generation of frequency dependent squeezing (FDS) through Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) states filtered in the arms cavities, useful to investigate the possibility to apply these techniques to reduce the quantum noise in the second and/or third generation of interferometric gravitational waves detectors, like Advanced Virgo+ or Einstein Telescope (ET). In this paper we focus, after a summary of the basic principle of the ponderomotive squeezing generation and of the noise that we expect will affect the SIPS sensitivity, on the study and realization of the local and global control system which is necessary to keep the interferometer in its working point
Behaviour of structural insulated panels (SIPs) subjected to short-term out-of-plane transverse loads
No full textStructural insulated panels (SIPs) are a panelized building system composed of external oriented strand board (OSB) wood sheets bonded to a lightweight boardstock or pour-in-place foam core. This paper describes an investigation on the structural behaviour of OSB-faced SIPs subject to short-term out-of-plane transverse loading. A total of 35 panels with varying types of foam core, thickness and other construction details were subjected to partially distributed uniform loading. The results showed that the ultimate shear resistance of SIPs is proportional to the mechanical properties of the core, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the core. The observed relationship between core shear stress at failure and core thickness was used to calibrate a reliability-based design expression to predict the shear strength of full-size panels based on properties obtained from small-scale foam material tests. Sandwich panel theory can accurately predict the initial stiffness of SIPs when behaviour remains in the linear range. Finally, recommendations regarding panel design and construction are made to improve the shear behaviour of SIPs.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
