Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Short Dispositional Flow Scale–2 and Short Flow State Scale–2 for Persons With Schizophrenia in Taiwan
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
The Chinese versions of the Short Dispositional Flow Scale–2 (DFS–2) and Short Flow State Scale–2 (FSS–2) showed goodness of fit when administered to persons with schizophrenia in Taiwan, and future studies would be suggested to apply the same validation method for the Short DFS–2 and Short FSS–2 in other cultures or populations.

Forewing rounded apically, apical cells less than 1 / 3 total length, RP and MP’ separated and originated from r cell, MP’’+CuA’ from m cell, width of c cell equal with r cell. Hindwing with CuA bifurcated. Abdomen brownish. Legs yellow except claws brownish (Figs 1, 2). Ventral male abdominal apodemes broad, reaching segment 4 (Fig. 4), Pygofer with dosrsal margin strongly concave, apex with few microsetae (Figs 5, 6). Subgenital plate broad, with an oblique line of 14 macrosetae and ca. 23 microsetae in 3 rows; outer margin bearing 5 moderately long and stout setae forming the basal group and after that along with ca. 25 marginal setae (Fig. 7). Paramere elongate, with apical teeth and setae (Fig. 8). Aedeagus arcuate in lateral view, with broad single central flange on ventral surface from midlength to apex (Fig. 9), subapically with pair of lateral flanges on each side, inner flange narrower than outer one; preatrium more than half length of shaft (Fig. 10). Connective with base broad, apex narrow, apical margin deeply emarginate (Fig. 10). Anal tube process only visible in ventral view (Fig. 11). Etymology.

The new species is similar to M. stenoprocessa Yu & Yang, 2013 and M. plana Qin & Zhang, 2011, but differs from the latter in having the single central flange broad and extending from midlength to apex, the narrower flange is inside the broader one (Figs 9, 10).Published as part of Yu, Xiaofei & Yang, Maofa, 2014, Key to species of the leafhopper genus Membranacea Qin & Zhang (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae, Empoascini), with a new species from China, pp. 97-100 in Zootaxa 3878 (1) on page 99, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3878.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/22492
Ishiharella multiprotrusa Yu, Yang & Dietrich, sp. nov.
No full textIshiharella multiprotrusa Yu, Yang & Dietrich, sp. nov. (Figs 36–43, 52– 53) Type material. Holotype: 1 ♂, Thailand, Loei Phu Ruea NP office, 17 ° 28.805 ’N, 101 ° 21.242 ’E, 870m., malaise trap, 12–19 July 2006, Patikhom Tamtio leg (QSBG). Length: ♂ 3.54mm. Crown orange, area between eyes with two pigmented depressions and yellowish patches (Fig. 52). Eyes grey (Fig. 52). Ocelli white (Fig. 52). Face yellowish, anteclypeus black apically (Fig. 53). Pronotum orange with brown depression in lateral margin and blackish posteromedial patch (Fig. 52). Scutellum yellowish, scutoscutellar sulcus brownish (Fig. 52). Forewing brown, hind wing hyaline (Fig. 52). Legs yellowish except claws black (Fig. 53). Male ventral abdominal apodemes reaching posterior margin of segment 3 (Fig. 36). Male pygofer narrowed anteriorly, anterior margin bearing few setae (Figs 38, 39). Subgenital plates longer than pygofer in lateral view, fused almost to apex, bearing 8 macrosetae in one row and ca. 23 microsetae in 3 rows (Fig. 37). Paramere elongate, apex slender, cheliform (Fig. 40). Aedeagal shaft short, broad, ovoid, strongly compressed, ventral process nearly symmetrical, bearing three pairs of branches, branches slender and bowed laterad, becoming progressively longer distally (Figs 41, 42). Anal tube process falcate in ventral view (Fig. 43). Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the combination of “multi-” and “protrusus”, refering to the aedeagal process with three pairs of branches that look like protrusions. Remarks. The new species is similar to I. inflata Yu & Yang, sp. nov. in having three pairs of branches on the aedeagal process (Figs 41, 42), but differs from the latter in having the middle pair of branches longer than the basal pair and not crossing the basal pair in lateral view (Figs 41, 42), and by shape of the paramere apex (Fig. 40).Published as part of Yu, Xiaofei & Yang, Maofa, 2015, Five new species of Ishiharella Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) with a key to worldwide species of the genus, pp. 571-580 in Zootaxa 4000 (5) on pages 577-578, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4000.5.6, http://zenodo.org/record/23823
