Analysis at the Census Tract Level Correlations at the census tract level aggregation of PM 2.5 data, census data, tree canopy data, and GIS data revealed that four variables are significant ( p -value 0.05), with one being almost significant at that level ( Table 7 , Appendix B ).

Literature Review At present, tourism carbon emissions continue to show an increasing trend [ 11 ], and tourism development has a significant enhancement effect on carbon emissions [ 12 ].

Without emergency rhetoric [ 31 ], very few people are able to discuss the fate of people with disabilities in Romania, even though there is a positive trend of change in all areas, and confidence-building efforts are beginning to take shape in education.

The odds of hypertension among the participants with only work-related burnout increased by 40% (OR = 1.40; 95% CI: 0.99–1.96) compared with those without burnout, with marginal significance, while personal burnout (OR = 1.21; 95% CI: 0.88–1.67) and both burnouts (OR = 1.31; 95% CI: 0.89–1.90) were not statistically significantly associated with elevated odds of hypertension.

From the source equivalent emissions, all four sources of pollution equivalent emissions showed a decreasing trend: from 2002 to 2007, agricultural solid waste > agricultural fertilizer > rural life > livestock and poultry farming; and from 2008 to 2019, agricultural solid waste > rural life > agricultural fertilizer > livestock and poultry farming.

Overall, the equivalent emissions of ANSP in Gongyi City during 2002–2019 show a zigzagging decreasing trend from 8.23 × 10 8 m 3 in 2002 to 5.48 × 10 8 m 3 in 2019, indicating that the management of ANSP in Gongyi City displayed a positive trend.

As shown in Figure 5 , the carbon emissions transfer from the pilot areas of the Shanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and Ningxia chemical industries showed a decreasing trend from 2007–2012 and an increasing trend from 2012–2017 after the implementation of the pilot carbon trading policy.

Third, attrition analysis showed a number of highly significant differences between drop-outs and completers, which reduces the external validity of the study.

Abstract As a destructive and economic disaster in the world, drought shows an increasing trend under the continuous global climate change and adverse health effects have been reported.

In this study, we observed a decreasing trend in the PM 2.5 concentrations on the pedestrian road with increasing wind velocity, regardless of the planting type.

The results indicated that, at P-1, the PM 2.5 concentration portrayed an increasing trend with the increase in the wind velocity in the wind direction of 0°, regardless of the planting type.

There was a marginally significant interaction effect for exercise but none for eating and sleep.

In terms of economic growth ( Figure 3 ), the function center also showed a trend of right shift over the years, and the right shift range was roughly equal, indicating that the level of economic development was steadily improving year by year.

All curves decreased, showing a negative trend as the vaccination campaign progressed.

Thus, there may be significant differences in farmers’ behavior and decision-making.

The values of NP and PD generally exhibit a decreasing trend in gradients I and II from 2005 to 2020, while they are observed to increase in gradients III and IV.

Average haematocrit percentage was high among three (0.35%) clean-up workers, with a decreasing trend (4.84% per year).

These parameters showed a slightly increasing trend over time, which did not differ by age.

The trajectories of BUN were stable during the 2 years and showed an increasing trend at 3–5 years after the clean-up for both smokers and non-smokers.

With the intensification of human planting activities, ET values of urban industrial and mining land, forest land, and cultivated land changed largely ( Table 3 ), and the T:E ratio showed an increasing trend since 1982.

The cropland area was on a decreasing trend, but the number of cropland patches was increasing yearly.

The forest area showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing.

The landscape loss index of cropland, forest land, and grassland showed a slightly increasing trend.

According to the evaluation results, the water quality showed a trend of gradual improvement.

From 2013 to 2018, WQI generally showed a positive trend.
