Excerpts

For geographic factors, we observe that, compared with hospitals located in rural areas, hospitals located in urban areas are less likely to receive a reward; compared with hospitals located in the New England area, hospitals located in the Mid-Atlantic and West South Central areas show a significantly lower likelihood of receiving a reward; hospitals located in the East South Central area show a moderately significant less likelihood of receiving a reward, while hospitals located in other areas do not show a significant difference.

Similarly, in Kozieglowy, a Polish WWTP, it was reported that the wastewater treatment process leads to a significant increase in the relative abundance of bla OXA-48 genes in the effluent [ 69 ], whereas in research from the Baltic Sea area, the relative abundance of bla OXA-58 was decreased in the effluent; however it was weakly significant and found only in one of the three studied WWTPs [ 141 ].

Correlation Analysis of Soil Enzyme Activity, Soil pH, and Soil Nutrients The correlation analysis of soil enzyme activity, soil pH, and major nutrients showed the following: urease exhibited a significant positive correlation with SOC and a highly significant positive correlation with TN in the soil; catalase exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with the pH value of the soil; alkaline phosphatase exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with total nitrogen in the soil; sucrase exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with total nitrogen in the soil; sucrase exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with the pH value of the soil; and alkaline phosphatase exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with TN.

It is notable that in the male group, a decreasing trend in both physical fitness score and muscular fitness score was observed with the increase/rise in freshmen year. 3.2.

Our results showed that although the prevalence of overweight was not significantly changed, the prevalence of obesity exhibited an increasing trend in this college student population (6.98% in 2017 to 9.15% in 2020).

Depersonalization The linear regression model in case of the depersonalization variable is p = 0.097, which indicates the model to be marginally significant, yet statistically insignificant.

The interaction between emotion valence and group was marginally significant, and the activation of the right dlPFC (ch41) in the pure depression group was significantly higher under positive emotion than in negative emotion.

Current data suggest an increasing trend in the use of AVP and terlipressin among preterm neonates.

The histogram in Figure 1 a shows that the population age distribution had a clear trend toward a normal distribution, with the largest number of people in the 37–56 age group and the smallest number of people aged 77 years and older. 3.1.2.

p < 0.05 was considered significant difference and p < 0.01 was considered an extremely significant difference. 2.2.

The difference between the two groups was marginally significant at one and two years.

Therefore, it remains theoretically and practically significant to explore the impact of ETS on green technology innovation through the PSM−DID model and a series of heterogeneity analyses. 3.

From 2000 to 2020, the ecological risk value of each ecological risk cell increased and decreased, and the overall ecological risk value showed a trend of increasing first and decreasing later ( Figure 8 ).

On the one hand, residents living in high-altitude areas have a risk of an apnea–hypopnea index and changed sleep structure [ 42 , 43 ], which may cause poor sleep in older adults; further, a study indicated that poor sleep directly affected individuals’ mood and emotion [ 44 ], which may be significant contributors to the development of depression.

The duration of hospital stay and health expenditure increased by 1.73- and 1.34-fold for each additional comorbid chronic disease, respectively [ 20 ]; this represents an extremely significant rise in costs.

The regression parameters for digitization levels in Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan show a decreasing trend but still a positive contribution.

96% of the towns show an increasing trend in the quantity of construction land, and the south and north parts of the study area have more construction land compared with the center part.

For Fe 2 O 3 ( Figure 1 f), we did not find a clear trend in its concentration among the aggregate sizes.

A p -value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant, and a p -value of < 0.01 was considered highly significant.

Figure 4 and Figure 5 demonstrate that the average value of the ecological regulation function index was 0.092, 0.091, 0.091, 0.089, and 0.085, respectively, from 2000 to 2019, indicating a negative trend overall.

In the multivariate-adjusted model (model 3), HR estimates were 0.95 (0.82 to 1.10) for 1–2 times/week, 0.84 (0.72–0.97) for 3–6 times/week and 0.82 (0.69–0.98) for ≥7 times/week, respectively, exhibiting a significant trend ( p for trend < 0.01) between frequency of egg intake and the risk of mortality ( Table S1 ).

If regulators only use pyramids of sanctions—a regulatory approach that focuses primarily on escalating penalties for non-compliance—then they risk only focusing on the poor performers and missing opportunities to support a positive trend in compliance [ 26 ].

Further diagnosis of OLS model results showed that Moran’s I of OLS model calculations, LM LAG and LM ERROR obtained by Lagrange Multiplier tests, were highly significant, indicating that the spatial dependence in the dependent variable of RPR poses specification problems for the OLS model and that it should be handled in further analyses.

2 avg in all washout durations when rills formed, and both W/D ratios of the two plots showed an increasing trend with increasing washout duration.

Flow was the key factor in determining the hydraulic characteristics of runoff, and it had a significant or extremely significant positive correlation with hydraulic characteristics parameters, except in the case of Fr (Froude number) ( r = 0.039).
