In fact, with the exceptions of Japan, Germany, UK, and Belgium, total energy use has experienced an increasing trend in all countries, which may weaken the positive effect of increased energy use efficiency in the long-term.

Occupation and race were excluded from the final multivariable models as their adjusted p values exceeded the threshold for marginal significance.

This borderline significant finding, although not confirmed by the multivariate analysis, might be cautiously explained by a possible mediating role of job support in the relationship between stress and health outcomes [ 44 , 45 ], when it acts in combination with other influencing factors, either organizational or personal.

Over time, they showed a decreasing trend with the increasing population from 2005–2013.

It is noteworthy that in low-middle elevation area (2000–3000 m), the temperature decreases as elevation increases, and the VFC may be affected by changes in temperature over the vertical gradient; the VFC is sensitive to temperature at this elevation segmentation and showed a trend of reduced as elevation increases, and this may also relate to human activities.

Statistic Z was calculated using Equation (6); when Z > 0, it shows an increasing trend, and when Z < 0, it is a decreasing trend.

[ 17 ] reported an increasing trend of suspended sediment from the canopy top region toward the flow bed; however, the present study showed an inverse trend.
