Because volunteerism is a planned activity that unfolds over time, people who more frequently focus on the future might also be more likely to initiate volunteerism and sustain it over time. Using longitudinal (Study 1) and experimental (Study 2) paradigms, we investigated whether time perspective, and in particular a person's orientation toward the future, is related to volunteers' beliefs and behavior. In Study 1, a person's dispositional level of future time perspective was closely linked to volunteer beliefs and behavior. In Study 2, people who wrote about the future reported higher intentions to volunteer, and this was particularly true for infrequent volunteers and those with lower levels of dispositional future time perspective. Across two studies, we found evidence that future time perspective, whether a chronic disposition or a pattern of thought elicited by someone else, is linked to volunteer beliefs and behavior.

InterDIA: Interpretable Prediction of Drug-induced Autoimmunity through Ensemble Machine Learning Approaches.

Drug-induced autoimmunity (DIA) is a non-IgE immune-related adverse drug reaction that poses substantial challenges in predictive toxicology due to its idiosyncratic nature, complex pathogenesis, and diverse clinical manifestations. To address these challenges, we developed InterDIA, an interpretable machine learning framework for predicting DIA toxicity based on molecular physicochemical properties. Multi-strategy feature selection and advanced ensemble resampling approaches were integrated to enhance prediction accuracy and overcome data imbalance.

The identification of spikes, as a typical characteristic wave of epilepsy, is crucial for diagnosing and locating the epileptogenic region. The traditional seizure detection methods lack spike features and have low sample richness. This paper proposes a seizure detection method with spike-based phase locking value (PLV) functional brain networks and multi-domain fused features.

Microplastics (MPs) are produced from various primary and secondary sources and pose multifaceted environmental problems. They are of non-biodegradable nature and may stay in aquatic environments for a long time period. The present review has covered novel aspects pertaining to MPs that were not covered in earlier studies.

Background: Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder affecting millions worldwide, with significant impacts on daily functioning and quality of life. While traditionally assessed through subjective measures such as the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the advent of wearable technology has enabled continuous, objective sleep monitoring in natural environments. However, the relationship between subjective insomnia severity and objective sleep parameters remains unclear.
