title: Therese Cornelius-Schneegans 1878-1971

description: Grundlage für die Annäherung an das Œuvre von Therese Cornelius-Schneegans (1878-1971) waren die im Nachlass der Künstlerin befindlichen Quellen. Hieraus wurde ein biographisches Gerüst erstellt, in welches ihre erhaltenen und überwiegend undatierten Arbeiten eingegliedert wurden. Die Wahl ihrer künstlerischen Ausbildung bestätigte die Hemmnisse, denen Künstlerinnen am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ausgesetzt waren. So konnte für Therese Schneegans der Besuch der Malschule Strehblow und weiterer privater Ausbildungsvarianten nachgewiesen werden. Durch diese kam sie sowohl mit der Münchner Schule und der von ihr vertretenen Tonmalerei, als auch mit fortschrittlichen impressionistischen Strömungen in Berührung. Zusätzliche Anregungen lassen sich durch das künstlerische Wiener Umfeld kurz nach 1900 bemerken, wobei sie sich eher den Vertretern einer naturalistischen Richtung verbunden fühlte. In den ersten beiden Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts kann bei Therese Schneegans eine fruchtbare Auseinandersetzung mit zeitgleichen fortschrittlichen Tendenzen, besonders in der Gattung der Portraits festgestellt werden, was vor allem bei den Selbstbildnissen zu einigen der wichtigsten Arbeiten in ihrem Œuvre geführt hat. In den 1920er Jahren lässt sich ein Abwenden von der Bildnismalerei erkennen, deren alleinige Ursache nicht in den wirtschaftlichen und familiären Belastungen gesehen werden kann. Versuche einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kunsthandwerk zeugen von einem spielerischen Umgang mit Formen und Ornamenten, angewandte Umsetzungen ihrer Entwürfe konnten in den 1920er Jahren nicht festgestellt werden. Durch die Heirat mit Carl Cornelius verließ sie 1929 Wien und siedelte sich in München an. Die veränderte räumliche und auch bald danach politische Umgebung bewirkten eine Abkehr von ihrem Wiener Stil und eine Hinwendung zu einer dem lokalen Geschmack angepassten Formensprache in der angewandten Kunst. Durch die gesteigerte Wertschätzung, die das NS-Regime dem Kunsthandwerk entgegenbrachte, war für Therese Cornelius ein Rahmen geschaffen, in dem sie ihren kunsthandwerklichen Arbeiten trotz thematischer Unverfänglichkeit einigermaßen erfolgreich nachgehen konnte, ohne sich mit den Machthabern arrangieren zu müssen. Da in ihren letzten Lebensjahren keine bedeutenden Arbeiten mehr entstanden sind, kann von einem Alterswerk im engeren Sinne nicht gesprochen werden.

description: In the bone regeneration field, properties of 3D scaffold could be improved using cellular and their released products. Even if previously documented, poly-(lactide) (PLA) scaffolds were not thoroughly evaluated for their design-related characteristics. The aim of the study was to investigate the properties of 3D printed PLA scaffolds for bone regeneration obtained through 3D printing, evaluating the differences in terms of structural properties, in vitro and in vivo cellular responses induced by different scaffold structures. Biofabrication is to generate a construct with biological function. In particular in our reserach we describe the fully process, including printing scaffold step, in vitro culture phase and subsequently in vivo transplantation. Five porous scaffold designs (A-B-C-D-E) were fabricated from a poly-(lactide) (PLA) filament. Scaffold structural parameters, such as porosity and pore size, were measured using scanning electron microscopy, and micro-computed tomography. Nano-topographic surface features were investigated by means of atomic force microscopy. Over a 112-day period, scaffolds were hydrolytically degraded and changes in weight, pH and mechanical properties were measured during degradation. Osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs on different scaffold designs after 21 days of culture was measured by means of RT-PCR and Western Blot. In vivo study was performed using C57BL/6 mice and was designed in 5 different groups: - Group1: Scaffold loaded with hPDLSCs - Group2: Scaffold loaded with conditioned medium (CM) derived from hPDLSCs - Group3: Scaffold loaded with exosomes (Exo) purified from CM - Group 4: Scaffold loaded with engineered exosomes (e-Exo), exosome treated with PEI (poly ether imide) - Group5: Scaffold, used as control. Histological analysis were performed after 60 days of in vivo transplantation and morphological evaluations revealed a high bone tissue formation and osteogenic cells commitment in group 3 and 4 when compared to other groups. From these results, the cell-laden PCAMSC scaffold offers a significant advantage in the TM regeneration in a rat subacute TM perforation model. It may offer attractive opportunities in the conservative clinical treatment. This study demonstrated that scaffold of group 3 and 4 significantly improved bone tissue regeneration in animal model and successfully showed new bone deposition in situ compared to the control scaffold (group 5) and group 1 and 2. Based on the results, we believe that the bioprinted scaffold may become a novel treatment for tissue regeneration approach therapy.

description: An increasing number of submissions of high-throughput sequencing (HTSeq) data to the public data repository enables comprehensive data analysis to develop secondary databases. We have been developing databases by processing archived raw sequencing data, Quanto and ChIP-Atlas. Quanto is the database of experimental metadata calculated from the sequencing data. ChIP-Atlas is the database of transcription factor binding sites extracted from the public ChIP-seq data. Through the development of these databases, we came up with many difficulties in processing a massive amount of published data. Here we want to discuss two of the major problems in handling a large amount of data, (1) ensuring to process all the data by the same procedure, and (2) processing them efficiently on the stable computational environment repeatedly upon the new submissions. In this poster, we introduce our activity to introduce Common Workflow Language as a workflow description language, and intercloud project to run the workflow against the public data efficiently.

Siphonaria alternicosta Potiez & Michaud 1838 [in 1838–1844]: 55, pl. 10, figs 18–20 (no type locality).— Menke 1844: 54; Catlow & Reeve 1845: 100; Jay 1850: 104; White & Dayrat 2012: 60.
Siphonaria alternicostata Hanley 1858b: 151.— Paetel 1889: 427 (invalid; incorrect subsequent spelling of alternicosta).
Taxonomic remarks. The original description and original figure as the only indication to the identity of S. alternicosta provide insufficient information to identify this species. No type specimen(s) are known to exist (Philippe Bouchet; pers. comm.). Menke (1844: 54) considered S. alternicosta (incorrectly attributed to Quoy & Gaimard) as an accepted species occurring on the W coast of Australia. The original figure resembles S. restis sp. nov. from WA somewhat, but this similarity is not considered taxonomically significant. We consider S. alternicosta as a nomen dubium.

Subjects: Facial anthropometry; Marfan syndrome (MFS); stereophotogrammetry

description: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare genetic disorder of connective tissue caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which result in alterations of fibrillin-1 and dysregulation of TGF-b bioavailability in the extracellular matrix. MFS is a clinical diagnosis. It is crucial to prevent acute aortic dissection; nevertheless it is difficult, due to the high degree of clinical variability of the disease. A quantitative definition of craniofacial abnormalities associated with MFS is not available and they are usually evaluated through a qualitative impression. The study aimed to better characterize the facial phenotype associated with MFS, identifying new morphometric features useful for the diagnosis of the disease. 3D facial images of 61 Italian subjects diagnosed with MFS, aged 16-64 years (21 males, mean ± SD age 38 ± 15 years; 40 females, mean ± SD age 41 ± 13 years), and divided in 6 non-overlapping age groups, were obtained by stereophotogrammetry [1]. From the coordinates of 50 soft-tissue facial landmarks, linear distances and angles were measured; z score values were calculated comparing patients with healthy Italian reference subjects (400 males, 379 females), matched for gender and age group. Statistical comparisons were performed by Student’s t test. All subjects with MFS showed a greater facial divergence (p<0.001; mean z score = +1.9) and a reduced facial height index (p<0.001; mean z score = -1.9), being both the values mostly influenced by a shorter mandibular ramus (p<0.001; mean z score = -1.9) and an overall mild but significant increase of facial height (p<0.001; mean z score = +1.2). Gender differences or age-specific trends were not observed. Quantitative facial abnormalities pointed out in the current study enrich the information about the phenotypic expression of MFS and suggest their usefulness in the recognition of the disease.

Subjects: Anatomy; greater palatine foramen; lesser palatine foramen; maxillary nerve block; maxillofacial surgery

description: Anatomy of greater palatine foramen has acquired a growing relevance in the fields of dentistry, maxillofacial surgery and otorhinolaryngology [1,2]. Several publications are available concerning the collocation of greater palatine foramen; however available literature has so far focused on few metrical measurements and has not yet performed a complete analysis for the localization of the greater palatine foramen. This study provides a novel approach to the metrical assessment of the position of the greater palatine foramen on 100 skulls belonging to the Milanese contemporary collection, based on six linear measurements and two angles. Possible differences according to sex and side were assessed through two-way ANOVA test (p<0.05). Statistically significant differences according to sex were found for the distances of the greater palatine foramen from: the intermaxillary suture, the incisive foramen, the posterior palatal border, the most posterior point of the palate; palatal length; the position of the greater palatine foramen relative to palatal length (p<0.05). For what concerns side, only the distance from intermaxillary suture, from the most posterior point of the palate and the angle at the incisive foramen showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Results provide a complete metrical assessment of the localization of the greater palatine foramen and additional data for the assessment of differences according to sex and side.

description: Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are extragalactic objects with X-ray luminosities above the Eddington limit for a 10 Msun black hole (BH). ULXs may host super-Eddington accreting neutron stars or stellar mass BH, although the exact proportion of the two populations is not yet known. We investigate the properties of the ULX NGC 4559 X7, which shows flux variability up to a factor of 5 on months-to-years and hours-to-days timescales. A flaring activity was also observed during the source highest flux epochs. Flares are unpredictable, with different durations and all flat-topped in flux. The latter suggests that, at the flare peaks, there is likely a common switch-off mechanism for the accretion onto the compact object. We analysed all the available XMM-Newton and Swift/XRT observations to investigate the spectral and temporal evolution of X7, looking for short and long-term variability. We look for long-term periodicities and for coherent signals through accelerated searches that included orbital corrections. We described the X7 spectra with two thermal components plus a cut-off powerlaw model. We found three well defined spectral states, where the spectral variability is mainly driven by the two harder components. In addition, a pulsed signal at 2.6-2.7s was detected in two XMM-Newton observations. The significance of these coherent signals is relatively weak but they are found in two different observations with the same parameter space for the orbital properties. If confirmed, it would imply a high spin-down of 1e-9 s/s, which could be extreme amongst the known pulsating ULXs. X7 would become a new extragalactic ULX pulsar. We discuss the spectral and temporal results of X7 in the context of super-Eddington accretion onto a stellar-mass compact object, in particular suggesting that the source might likely host a neutron star.

Subjects: Proinflammatory cytokines; psoriasis; immunofluorescence

description: Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by the formation and the progression of silvery plaques on the extensory surfaces of our body. Proinflammatory cytokines as Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22 and IL-23 represent for the normal skin a psoriatic microenvironment. In the 3D human skin model standardized in our lab in the last decade, we were able to dissect the events in which each cytokine exerts a specific effect, e.g. keratinocyte proliferation, Langerhans cell activation, cytoskeleton arrangement, and, more recently, the epidermal expression of Toll like Receptors (TLRs) 2, 7, 9. Several experimental studies reported that in psoriasis TLRs are expressed and their activation triggers i) NFkB translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and ii) the release of beta defensins (HBDs). The present study was aimed at investigating the intracellular NFkB activation and HBD1 and HBD2 expression induced by a cytokine mix (TNF-alpha, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23) by indirect immunofluorescence. Bioptic samples of normal human skin were obtained after aesthetic surgery of young healthy informed women (n=7). After overnight incubation to reduce mechanical and termical stress, skin fragments were incubated in a Transwell system for 5 (T5), 24 (T24), and 48 (T48) hours with the cytokine mix. Parallel control samples were carried out and each patient was represented at all time points. In controls at all time-points NFkB was localized only in the cytoplasm, while, starting from T5, scattered basal nuclei were observed in the cytokine-incubated samples. At later time points, in the upper spinous and granular layers, NFkB nuclear immunostaining was evident. HBD2 expression was affected after cytokine mix exposure, while HBD1 distribution was similar to controls. Thanks to this simple but effective model, a deep knowledge of the early events occurring in the normal epidermis exposed to cytokines can be achieved, excluding the contribution of the blood and lymphatic vessels herein absent. This basic research can thus represent an important tool for targeting and counteracting single phenomenon leading to the formation/progression with the most innovative biological drugs.

description: Patients with Down syndrome (DS) present delays in motor development, showing a unique pattern of locomotion in clinical settings. Hippotherapy (HBR) is a field of rehabilitation therapy to achieve physical, social, and psychological well-being through therapeutic horse riding, providing a new stimulus related to gait and may helping balance and postural control [1], [2]. Herein, we have enrolled fifteen male individuals affected by DS, aged from 19 to 36 years old. All patients were vaccinated for tetanus and previously screened for any contraindications to practice HBR. The HBR protocol included a six-months period of horseback riding exercise, performed weekly. Before, during and after the study period, functional mobility, strength and performance in balance were assessed by Time Up and Go Test (TUG), 30s Chair-Stand-Test (30CST), MRC-scale and the Berg-Balance-Scale (BBS). Furthermore, the OPTO-Gait for dynamic analysis and the Diasu Ultrasensor systems for static analysis were applied at the same timepoints, in order to assess the HBR effects on movement reaction time, muscle activation, functional mobility, muscle strength and balance in DS. In conclusion, we provided objective clinical data on the role of HBR to determine a functional improvement on gait speed, rhythm, width, bilateral symmetry, gross motor function and balance in DS.

description: Electron hydrodynamics encompasses the exotic fluid-like behavior of electrons in two-dimensional materials such as graphene. It accounts for superballistic conduction, also known as the Gurzhi effect, where increasing temperature reduces the electrical resistance. In analogy with conventional fluids, the Gurzhi effect is only expected in the hydrodynamic regime, with the decrease in the resistance occurring at intermediate temperatures. Nonetheless, experiments on electron fluids consistently show that superballistic conduction starts at close-to-zero temperatures. To address this paradox, we study hydrodynamic flow, and we find that replacing the classical dynamics with tomographic dynamics, where only head-on collisions are allowed between electrons, solves the dilemma. The latter strengthens superballistic conduction, with potential applications in low-dissipation devices, and explains its differences with the Molenkamp effect and conventional fluids dynamics. Our study reveals that the superballistic paradox is resolved by considering the electrons not as classical particles but as fermions.

description: Patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) are commonly characterized by exercise limitation. The benefit of isolated (i.e., small muscle mass) muscle training and its potential translation to whole body exercise in patients CHF has been recognized, however the mechanisms responsible for this positive outcome remain poorly understood. To study oxygen (O2) transport and metabolism at maximal cycle (whole body) and knee extensor (KE, small muscle mass) exercise in this pathological condition, eight healthy controls and six patients with CHF with reduced ejection fraction commenced 8 weeks of KE training (both legs, separately). Before and after training, they underwent cycle and KE maximal exercise studies. Pre-training cycling and KE exercise peak leg O2 uptake (VO2) were 17% and 15% lower, respectively, in the patients compared to controls. Although KE training did not alter cardiac output at maximal KE or cycle exercise, it increased O2 delivery (by 54%), arterial-venous O2 difference (by 10%), and muscle O2 conductance (by 39%) at maximal KE exercise, yielding an increase in peak single leg VO2 of 53%, which exceeded untrained control subject values. Post-training, during maximal cycling, O2 delivery (40%), arterial-venous O2 difference (15%), and muscle O2 conductance (DMO2) (52%) all increased, yielding a 40% greater peak leg VO2, matching that of the controls. Small muscle mass exercise training-induced improvements in both peripheral convective and diffusive O2 transport and subsequent O2 utilization were the main mechanisms responsible for the increased whole body exercise capacity in patients with CHF. Such clear improvements in these factors and exercise capacity support the efficacy of small muscle mass training as a powerful approach to promote a metabolic reserve and maintain physical function in the face of continuing central limitations associated with CHF.

description: As a cornerstone in the Evolutionary Computation (EC) domain, Differential Evolution (DE) is known for its simplicity and effectiveness in handling challenging black-box optimization problems. While the advantages of DE are well-recognized, achieving peak performance heavily depends on its hyperparameters such as the mutation factor, crossover probability, and the selection of specific DE strategies. Traditional approaches to this hyperparameter dilemma have leaned towards parameter tuning or adaptive mechanisms. However, identifying the optimal settings tailored for specific problems remains a persistent challenge. In response, we introduce MetaDE, an approach that evolves DE's intrinsic hyperparameters and strategies using DE itself at a meta-level. A pivotal aspect of MetaDE is a specialized parameterization technique, which endows it with the capability to dynamically modify DE's parameters and strategies throughout the evolutionary process. To augment computational efficiency, MetaDE incorporates a design that leverages parallel processing through a GPU-accelerated computing framework. Within such a framework, DE is not just a solver but also an optimizer for its own configurations, thus streamlining the process of hyperparameter optimization and problem-solving into a cohesive and automated workflow. Extensive evaluations on the CEC2022 benchmark suite demonstrate MetaDE's promising performance. Moreover, when applied to robot control via evolutionary reinforcement learning, MetaDE also demonstrates promising performance. The source code of MetaDE is publicly accessible at: https://github.com/EMI-Group/metade.

Taxonomic remarks. The original description and original figure of Michelin (1832) do not provide enough detail to resolve the identity of this species. No type specimen(s) are known to exist (Philippe Bouchet; pers. comm.).While the original figure in Michelin (1832: pl. 17) matches the features of the atra group, particularly that of S. atra and S. alba, this species remains indeterminable. Hubendick (1946: 69) incorrectly rejected S. sowerbyi as a nomen nudum (followed by White & Dayrat, 2012: 68). Morrison (1972: 56–58) treated S. sowerbyi Michelin, 1832, S. sowerbyi Guerin, 1832 and S. sowerbyi Michelin,1868 as synonyms of S. laciniosa based on similarity in shell form and ‘common reproductive development’. These synonymies are not accepted here. This nominal species remains a nomen dubium.

This transfer to Siphonaria rendered S. stellata Blainville, 1827 as a junior secondary homonym (Art. 57.3; White & Dayrat, 2010: 68). Examination of Helbling’s figure (1779) reveals a shell that resembles specimens from Hawaii (e.g., S. waikoloaensis sp. nov., Figs 72D–F; S. mauiensis sp. nov., Figs 56G–I) or Mauritius (e.g., S. incerta; Figs 35H–L) and is unlike the shell of S. exigua (Fig. 3J). The identity of S. stellata is currently unknown and there is no prospect of clarifying its identity based on the original description alone. The use of the name S. stellata (Helbling) for material from the Bay of Bengal in Nagabhushanam & Krishnan (1993: 480) is therefore questionable. We consider this taxon as a nomen dubium.

description: India is the second largest supplier of elasmobranch (sharks, rays and chimaeras) products in the world and the Indian coastline has a high concentration of threatened elasmobranch species. Unregulated fishing of elasmobranch in India, may drive many threatened species to extinction and additionally, will cause a collapse of the fishing industry, threatening livelihoods in the region. To address this issue, we propose to determine elasmobranch species and their population abundance to assist species specific stock assessments. We also plan to generate awareness among fishing communities about the importance of elasmobranchs in oceanic ecosystems and the need for regulated fishing practices.

description: Many regulatory decisions are based on meta-analysis of observational studies. There is a need to understand the reliability of meta-analysis studies. Our idea is to examine the reliability of the base studies used in two meta-analysis studies, one appearing in Lancet and the other in JAMA. Both of these studies examine the claimed causal effect of air quality on heart attacks. We count the number of outcomes, predictors, covariates and lags used in each base paper. Lags are of interest as the air quality yesterday might have a health effect today. Outcomes, predictors, covarites and lags are used to estimate multiplicity. Covariates are used to estimate the number of possible models. Together they can be used to estimate the analysis search space available to the researcher. Altogether we examined 21 base papers. We find a median of 11,520 possible analyses with an interquartile range of 1,440 to 81,920. We conclude that the base papers do not support their claims due to a very large model search space and that therefore the meta-analysis paper claims are not supported either. The benefit of our work is to inform regulatory bodies that previous regulations are not supported by papers using sound statistical analysis.

description: In 2012, to address the shortage of cutting-edge bioinformatics training courses in Australia, due to a scarcity of skilled trainers, a group of 8 Australian researchers from Bioplatforms Australia facilities and from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation developed a training collaboration with EMBL-EBI training team. A group of Australian bioinformaticians attended an Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing workshop in March 2012 and, subsequently, a Train-the-trainer (TtT) workshop to develop their skills in training in a workshop setting and in developing and delivering bioinformatics workshop curriculum. This poster describes how this group built on their experiences to train other bioinformatics trainers in Australia by undertaking a Train-the-Trainer Instructor course, by remote coaching, and subsequently successfully delivered a Train-the-trainer workshop to a group of their peers.

description: Siphonaria stellata Blainville, 1827
This species was described by Blainville (1827: 297) and attributed to ‘de Roissy’ from an unknown origin. It is a secondary junior homonym of Patella stellata Helbling, 1779 and therefore invalid (Art. 57.3 of the Code). The name has subsequently been referred to by Hanley (1858b: 153) and Paetel (1889: 429). Hubendick (1946: 48) and Morrison (1972: 56) treated it as a junior synonym. The listing of S. stellata in Adcock (1893: 11) as a synonym of S. luzonica (from SA, Australia; misidentified S. zelandica) is incorrect and a reversal of priority. Figures of ‘ S. stellata ’ RS in Hubendick (1945: figs 42, 53) are here attributed to S. javanica Figs 6H, I. Shells of ‘ S. stellata’ figured in Hubendick (1946: 91, pl. 3, fig. 20–23) are of various accepted species, such as S. viridis (fig. 20 from Thursday Island, fig. 22 from WA) and S. javanica (fig. 21 from Mindanao, fig. 23 from Java). A shell figured in Satyamurti (1952: 252, pl. 34, fig. 2a, b) resembles Helbling’s figure of P. stellata. Morrison (1972: 56–58) treated S. stellata Blainville 1827 along with 29 other nominal species as a synonym of S. laciniosa. The identity of S. stellata listed in Ravenish & Biju Kumar (2015: 38) is unknown (unfigured, no reference specimens).

Sequence Matters in Online Probing:  the Impact of the Order of Probes on Response Quality, Motivation of Respondents, and Answer Content

Subjects: online probing; probes; cross-cultural; order of probes

description: Due to the growing significance of international studies, the need for tools to assess the equivalence of items in international surveys is pressing. Online probing is a powerful tool for identifying the causes of non-equivalence; it incorporates probing techniques from cognitive interviewing in cross-national web surveys. So far, our online probing approach has applied three different probe types – category-selection probes, specific probes, and comprehension probes – to inquire about different aspects of an item. Previous research has mostly asked one probe type per item but in some situations it might be preferable to test potentially troublesome items with multiple probe types. However, empirical evidence is missing on whether the sequence of probe types has an impact on response quality, respondents’ motivation, and answer content. In this study, we report evidence from a web experiment that was conducted with 1,354 respondents from Germany, Great Britain, the U.S., Spain, and Mexico in June 2014. In this experiment, we asked respondents three different probes for one item and we manipulated the sequence of probes in each experimental condition. Our research indicates that the sequence in which different probe types are asked has an impact on response quality, the respondents’ motivation, and probe answer content. However, the respondents in the five countries react differently on the variation in the probe sequence suggesting that response behavior on probes is partly culturally driven.

How to Abbreviate Questionnaires and Avoid the Sins?

Subjects: shortening of test, abbreviated version, reliability

description: Creating shortened versions of research tools is common and justified. Unfortunately, it is often performed without due methodological care and awareness of the consequences of such actions. Even though the errors committed during short form construction were collected by Smith and his collaborators in 2000, it did not distinctly affect the practice. The mistakes made by researchers still come down to two main faults: assuming the transferability of validity and reliability between the full and shortened versions, and lowering the validity and reliability requirements for short forms. These two problems manifest as 9 sins committed during the construction of short forms. This article intends to present procedures which prevent these mistakes and ensure creating possibly the most reliable short version of a research tool and assessing the costs of a selected shortening method. To this end, the work determined a priori the expected length of the tool, the benefit of reduced questionnaire completion time in relation to the cost of reliability loss. Also, it estimated overlapping variance of the full and short version and classification accuracy of the new, short version. Since there are many statistical techniques of questionnaire shortening, an additional effect of this article is a comparison of the efficiency of shortening by means of three various techniques. The results show similarity between the method based on factor loadings and Cronbach’s α method, and a slight advantage over the two of a method based on difficulty and discriminatory power in the IRT paradigm.
