Whether looking at the 286 cities in general or the four major regions of China, China’s carbon productivity generally showed an increasing trend from 2005 to 2015, indicating that China’s carbon emission reduction efforts achieved some success, and the change in this indicator is verified with the change in carbon emissions per unit of GDP and the change in average carbon emissions per unit GDP in the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries.

The original multi-class dormitories and government offices began to collapse, while the commercialization of housing led residents of similar socioeconomic status to gather in similar communities; subsequently, the environmental differences between communities became increasingly obvious, and the residential space gradually showed a trend of stratification [ 4 , 5 ].

A borderline significant decreasing trend was observed for 2-Hydroxyfluorene, ΣPAH and ΣPAH n .

A monthly decreasing trend was also observed for humidity and wind speed; conversely, an increasing trend was observed for temperature ( Figure S1 ). 3.2.

Environmental Exposure Profile Levels PAHs exposure and PM 10 measured by pollutant monitoring stations of Palermo city showed a decreasing trend over the study period ( Table S1 and Figure S1 ).

The volume taken during a breastfeed was highly variable however, as would be expected, there was an overall trend to an increased volume of intake with increasing PMA.

Similarly, cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease, atherosclerotic heart disease, and stroke) has demonstrated an increasing trend in incidence, has become a serious threat to human health, is one of the most common diseases affecting the quality of life and is the leading cause of death worldwide [ 16 ].

The results of the academic intervention moved students in a positive direction with changes being at or near significance.

We then introduced three simple criteria to reduce the number of monitoring stations: (1) retain the monitoring station if there were similarities between its data and average data of the group to which it belongs; (2) retain the station if its data showed higher concentrations; and (3) retain the station if the monitored concentration levels had an increasing trend.

Phase angle has also been analyzed in relation to resistance training, and an increasing trend of its values has been registered [ 20 ].

For neonates in Group 3, this difference was apparent during the heel-prick stages ( Figure 3 ), suggesting that the combination of BMO and BMTSF interventions had a larger calming effect than BM odor alone.

As the pH increased, the flotation yields showed an increasing trend ( Figure 1 a).

Therefore, the improvement made through this study would be highly significant in terms of the effect of the developed program.

(2) APS, GES and OES decreased, and the rest of the space types showed a trend of expansion.

From 1990 to 2000, the overall ES showed a decreasing trend, with a decrease of 0.37%.

Likewise, one of the individual characteristics that has been most influential in terms of new barriers created by the pandemic is fear of contagion [ 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 88 , 89 , 94 , 95 , 97 ], an aspect that has been discussed in many publications, including opinion articles [ 113 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ], and also played a highly significant role in previous epidemics as a factor causing problems or delays in seeking medical care [ 2 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 72 , 76 , 101 , 108 , 143 , 144 ].

The change in SF showed a clear trend for the ions, including Na + , Cl − , and Ca 2+ .

However, one of the limitations of our approach is that the results produced are likely to be significant underestimates of the true burden of disease from transport.

In the period, weight and BMI were observed in an increasing trend in all urbanization trajectory groups, among both men and women.

Before 2000, the landscape patterns of OC showed a trend of fragmentation, and after 2000, landscape connectivity increased.

In addition, offspring showed a trend of higher development of hepatic tumors in males and hematopoietic tumors in females.

The same study showed an increasing trend of tumors in offspring: hepatic tumors were higher in males, while hematopoietic tumors in females [ 52 ].

Further, the efficiency of ammonium nitrogen removal followed a decreasing trend until day 30, and the efficiency of ammonium nitrogen conversion soared from 40.8% to 70.8% from day 32.

In terms of toilet facility type, a significant trend of reduced risk was found among participants using a flush toilet (with septic tank) versus those using a pit latrine (IRR 0.69, 95% CI 0.51–0.92).

Although differential metabolites were obtained in this study, the metabolic pathway results showed marginal significance.
