The Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) is an instrument widely used to assess volunteers’ motivation based on the Functionalist Model of Omoto and Snyder. It assesses six factors that reflect several motivational functions. VFI has been translated into various languages validated in different cultural contexts, but some studies have reported factor structures (e.g., five or four factors).

Stomach cancer belongs to the most common malignant tumors in Portugal. Main causal factors are age, dietary habits, smoking, and Helicobacter pylori infections. As these do not only operate on different time dimensions, such as period, or birth cohort, but may also vary along space, it is of utmost interest model temporal spatial trends jointly. In this paper, we analyze incidence stomach Southern Portugal between 1998 2006 for females males jointly using a multivariate age‐period‐cohort...
Abstract The main goal of this work is to obtain reliable predictions pollutant concentrations related maritime traffic (SO 2 , PM 10 NO X and NO) in the Bay Algeciras, located Andalusia, south Spain. Furthermore, objective predict future air quality levels principal traffic-related pollutants Algeciras as a function rest pollutants, meteorological variables, vessel data. In sense, three scenarios were analysed for comparison, namely Alcornocales Park cities La Línea Algeciras. A database...
Predicting the levels of a pollutant in given area is an open problem, mainly because historical data are typically available at certain locations, where monitoring stations located, but not all locations area. This work presents approach based on developing predictions each points immission station available; this case, shallow Artificial Neural Networks, ANNs, and then using simple geostatistical interpolation algorithm (Inverse Distance Weighted, IDW), map constructed over entire study...

<h3>Background</h3> Registries are becoming an increasingly important source of data, providing additional information on the use biologics in clinical practice. The real-world data currently available regarding SC anti-TNFs is still limited. Therefore, it utmost importance to increase knowledge Golimumab (GLM) effectiveness <h3>Objectives</h3> This study was designed access GLM 50 mg/monthly + MTX through 52 weeks treatment biologic-naïve RA patients. primary objective investigate...
Using self-determination theory, this study examined the autonomous motivation and regulatory styles of volunteers. The Volunteer Motivation Scale (VMS) is one main instruments available to assess these constructs, but it requires validation adaptation for different contexts. Therefore, goal was analyze psychometric properties 12-item VMS in a sample Portuguese consisted 207 volunteers, mostly women (74.4%), aged from 14 81 years, various areas volunteering. measures included...
Abstract Background Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a growing public health concern with high incidence of executive functions (EFs) changes, affecting disease progression and treatment effectiveness. Inconsistencies persist in studies on the role neuropsychological rehabilitation (NR) EF recovery within AUD interventions. Our aim to analyse effect NR EFs Methods A prospective cohort study included 65 participants both sexes, diagnosed AUD, free psychiatric comorbidities or severe neurological...
