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 ).

Another evident change is a positive trend of class 1 in the total country area and EU27 according to CLC data, which is still not as strong as for the FUAs.

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).

The runoff V avg (average velocity of all sections in the plot at a certain duration) , Fr avg , P avg , ε avg , and R avg values of the two plots showed a trend of first decreasing (25–75 min), then increasing (75–125 min), and finally stabilizing (125–200 min) with increasing washout duration ( Figure 7 a–e).

The quality of life scale data showed highly significant differences in the intervention group associated with hip replacement surgery, and patients who underwent knee replacement also reported a significantly better quality of life.

Nevertheless, while analyzed as LC risk categories used to define high and low risk patients, it showed barely a trend toward significance in trichotomous analysis and lost its predictive value when analyzed as dichotomous clinical categories (high vs. low risk) ( Table 4 ).

(2007) suggest that maternal exposure to pesticides is associated with a modest but marginally significant risk of cleft palate.

Partial Least Squares analysis showed that the IL6IL23Th17 axis and magnesium/calcium had highly significant total (indirect + direct) effects on HR-QoL/disabilities, which were mediated by G-CoDe and the symptomatome (a first factor extracted from negative and positive symptoms).

Household income, however, yields a highly significant negative total effect on annoyance, and this is in line with expectations from environmental inequality research.

Results : In general, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) of malaria presented a decreasing trend between 1990 and 2019, with an average annual decrease of 5.6%, 6.2%, and 10.7%, respectively, in STP.

Specifically, all indicators first presented an increasing trend from 1990 to about 2000, followed by a decreasing trend until 2019, although the incidence rebounded slightly after 2015.

The rate of YLDs of malaria showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing from 1990 to 2019, and a sharp increase in the YLD rate could be found from 2000 to 2005.

In this context, epistemic motivation [ 19 , 20 ] and belief in conspiracy theories [ 21 , 22 ] may be significant predictors when it comes to the perception of coronavirus information and, as a consequence, may predict the fear of this infectious disease. 1.2.

for the vegetation cover of the whole territory; in their study, the vegetation cover of the desert areas in Xinjiang showed a decreasing trend and the oasis areas showed a significant increasing trend [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].

In terms of time, the interaction between the factors showed a trend of increasing from 2000 to 2011, decreasing from 2011 to 2017, and slowly recovering after 2017.

The FVC showed an increasing trend in the study area.

A negative trend was also observed in n-PFOS and ∑PFOS ( p for trend < 0.05).

As our previous study, low-dose PFOA and PFOS might present a hormesis-effect, which shows a positive trend on cognitive function [ 26 ].

Through a visual inspection of the plotted time series, most search terms showed an increasing trend during the first months of 2022.

However, despite such an effort, the number of accidents and diseases has not substantially diminished: for example, data reported by Eurostat show that although a decreasing trend can be observed, considering both accidents and diseases in the EU Member States in the period 2013–2019 at a general level [ 4 , 5 ], it should be noted that: a considerable number of accidents related to the use of work equipment and machinery can still be observed; diseases classified in the musculoskeletal disorders category showed no decrease in the period 2013–2019.

All q-values of POPD(X 1 ) and GDPD(X 2 ) showed a decreasing trend in the urbanization subsystem.

Meta-Regression Analysis of VR-Based Exposure Therapy Sessions The meta-analysis showed a trend in the dose–response relationship, but there was no significant dose effect ( p = 0.159) ( Figure 5 ), which indicated that more therapy sessions could not yield larger effect sizes. 4.

The northwest region of the YRB showed a trend of supply exceeding demand, while the southeast region of YRB showed a trend of demand exceeding supply.
