Abstract:
This survey evaluated the influences of motivational functions, gender, age, and religiosity on two facets of volunteerism in Singapore. The two facets evaluated were length of service and fulfillment of duty commitments. One hundred and twenty-eight volunteers (Mage = 44.9 years; SD = 11.7 years; age range: 24–71 years) from a Singapore volunteer welfare organisation filled out 3 questionnaires: the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI; Clary et al., 1998), a questionnaire on facets of volunteerism, and a questionnaire on demographic data.

Volunteerism constitutes a significant economic contribution, especially within faith-based organizations, yet the motivations behind volunteer engagement remain complex.

The Baby Boomer generation in the United States is growing older, and the number of adults age 65 years or older is expected to double by 2050.

This quantitative, nonexperimental study was designed to identify the motivations of volunteers who served the socialization needs of isolated older adults in a rural U.S. community.

Abstract:
Due to their physical constraints, small-size loudspeakers cannot reproduce low frequencies free of unexpected effects such as distortion. In this article, a psycho-acoustic phenomena-based system was developed to process bass sounds in tracks with different features. The resulting signals are assessed by a set of volunteers and an objective algorithm. Based on these data, some regression processes (linear, gaussian, neural network, regression trees for exemple) are used to provide functions to generate similar volunteer scores. Validation experiments were performed considering the perception

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to evaluate the trunk kinematic data of asymptomatic human volunteers using the discrete wavelet transform. Five human volunteers with mean age of 29.6 (SD=7.4), height (m) 1.73 (SD=6.4), and weight (kg) 69.3 (SD=6.6) were recruited from the student and employee population of an academic institution. Participants were asked to walk back and forth at their comfortable speed carrying loads on one hand, on the right hand side of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 pounds on a wooden walking platform for a maximum of 30 steps (cycles). Participants walked with self-selected s

Abstract:
Background: The volunteer movement in Ukraine, which has always intensified in times of greatest threat, has since February 24, 2022, accumulated the efforts of volunteers, directing all their efforts to help the army. This has led to an increase in the number of volunteer organizations helping the military. The social demand and the needs they respond to set high expectations for volunteers. In such circumstances, volunteer organizations must pay special attention to the organization of volunteer activities. The question arises: how do volunteer organizations working to help the military cope

Abstract:
Background: Subjects with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are at higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). By definition, they perform normally on conventional neuropsychological tests. However, it is unclear whether computerized tests can detect subtle changes in this population. Objective: To compare cognitive performance in conventional and computerized tests of the CANTAB battery in people over 55 years old, divided into three subgroups: Controls, SCD and MCI, according to the NIA-AA 2018 criteria.

The article studies social media as a communication platform during the war. The set of mass communication tools to meet the audience’s information needs, coordination of volunteer activities, popularization of the volunteer movement, and involvement of the Internet community in helping the Armed Forces were analyzed. During the Russian-Ukrainian war, social media became the platform where the exchange of information takes place much faster; good analytics could be found quickly, which were pushed out of the information space. Also, social media have taken on the role of a platform where you c

Abstract:
An injury of the periodontium followed by an inflammatory response often leads to root resorption. Resorption is accomplished by osteoclasts and their generation may depend on an interaction with the cells in direct contact with the root, the cementoblasts. Our study aimed to investigate the role of human cementoblasts in the formation of osteoclasts and the effect of IL-1β hereupon. Extracted teeth from healthy volunteers were subjected to sequential digestion by type I collagenase and trypsin. The effect of enzymatic digestion on the presence of cells on the root surface was analyzed by hist

Abstract:
Highly imperiled Oregon white oak ecosystems are a regional conservation priority of numerous organizations, including Oregon Metro, a regional government serving over one million people in the Portland area. Previously dominant systems in the Pacific Northwest, upland prairie and oak woodlands are now experiencing significant threat, with only 2% remaining in the Willamette Valley in small fragments (Hulse et al. 2002). These fragments are of high conservation value because of the rich biodiversity they support, including rare and endemic species, such as Delphinium leucophaeum (Oregon Depart
