Excerpts

At the same age and gender (see Figure 2 and Figure 3 ), children and adolescents in different levels of physical activity have different inhalation rates, which shows a decreasing trend: the inhalation rate ( IR ) of vigorous physical activity > IR of moderate physical activity > IR of light physical activity > IR of sedentary behavior > IR of rest.

None of the regression results were highly significant for the core explanatory variable, namely environment dissatisfaction, indicating that governments seldom invested in water pollution governance in response to public opinion.

There is a highly significant correlation between engaging in aggressive behaviors in school and engaging in psychological cyberbullying.

Nevertheless, an increasing trend of groundwater overexploitation and deterioration at both the regional and global scales, mainly due to anthropogenic activities, has recently been demonstrated [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].

On the one hand, different variables may be significant in models using variables derived with different contextual areas.

Similar underreporting of Roma ethnicity was observed in younger age groups with borderline significance ( Table 2 ). 3.2.

Similarly, the dynamics of P and K showed an increasing trend over the period of composting due to mineralization.

The OC content of compost samples showed a decreasing trend.

Afterwards, the technical standard SBM, Standard of Building Biology 2015, by the Baubiologie Institute of Germany IBN [ 14 ] is adopted and interpreted as a guide for the risk prevention of exposure to geomagnetic field variability expressed in nanoteslas (nT), distinguishing four degrees of possible effects on human beings: Non-significant values 0–100 Weakly significant 100–200 Strongly significant 200–1000 Extremely significant +1000 nT For the analysed dosimetry, we set values close to 1 μT (1000 nT), since it requires immediate and rigorous action based on the precautionary principle.

Global adherence to Group 3 procedures was also better when the team included over 6 caregivers, although a U-shaped relationship appeared, with a nearly significant difference.

However, an obvious trend can nonetheless be seen.

From this is can be concluded that there exists an increasing trend between 1981 and 2014, however, it is not significant for most physicochemical parameters.

Further statistical analysis of the residuals indicate that the model developed is highly significant, which is supported by a small residual in relation to the regression model as illustrated by the Durbin-Watson (D-W) factor of 1.63.

Nowadays, there is an increasing trend in estimating the health risk using soil contamination indices, soil-plant transfer factors, and metal contents in edible plant parts [ 25 , 31 , 274 , 275 ].

In line with earlier population based studies, depression was diagnosed in health care more frequently among women, among those with the shortest unemployment period, among those who had made frequent visits to health care, and among non-manual workers [ 14 , 38 , 39 ], even the difference between non-manual workers and manual workers did not quite reach statistical significance.

In the present study, the association between longer TV viewing at baseline and an increase in relative body weight was almost significant while that of game using time at baseline was not.

While trends in the incidences of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) remained stable in Taiwan (2004–2011) [ 28 ], a decreasing trend (−31%) was reported in Glasgow (UK) (1980–1997) [ 10 ].

With regard to hypospadias and cryptorchidism, no change in the prevalence of hypospadias was observed in Nova Scotia (Canada) [ 29 ], but an increasing trend was reported in the EU (1999–2008) [ 8 ].

Overall, the DDE/DDT ratios from the 1981 [ 19 ], 2001–2002 [ 18 ], and 2013–2016 (the present study) studies showed an increasing trend reflecting no recent exposure to OCPs among Taiwanese women at childbearing age.

The female Australian general population demonstrated a clear trend of increasing risky drinking with age [ 24 ], whilst for female nurses the trend appeared reversed; trends were similar but less marked for males.

By contrast with the other materials, in the case of cabuya fibers, an increasing trend in dissolved concentrations seemed to occur after about 22 h of contact time.

In the present study, we set January 2006 as a cut-off time point and we observed that PFHxS concentration did not change before and after January 2006, whereas PFOS concentration showed a decreasing trend during both periods.

only reported that maternal PFOS levels were higher between 2000–2002 than between 2007–2008; maternal PFNA levels were lower between 2000–2002 than between 2007–2008, suggesting that there was a decreasing trend of PFOS and an increasing trend of PFNA [ 28 ].

Figure 4 shows the age-adjusted rates for selected countries, and an increasing trend is visible in some countries in the GBD 2016 [ 10 ] measures while the trends based on reported data in Odgerel C.-O.

However, we did not see an increasing trend of risk factors from CT1 to CT8.
