Excerpts

There was a moderately significant delay in sleep timing and a surge in napping.

arabiensis density along with a slightly increasing trend, suggesting that the time series needs both the non-seasonal and seasonal differencing to be stationary.

[ 17 ] showed that when atopic dermatitis diagnosis was based on the exhibition of atopic dermatitis-associated symptoms and not the definition by dermatologists, the increased risk of the child having atopic dermatitis would become borderline significant with the experience of increased chronic stress in mothers.

While an almost significant association between maternal chronic stress and childhood atopic dermatitis risk was observed when symptom observation was used as a strategy for atopic dermatitis ascertainment (adjusted RR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.0–2.3, p = 0.05), such association was determined to be insignificant when the strict definition of atopic dermatitis was used (adjusted RR: 1.1, 95% CI: 0.7–1.9).

It was also found that there was a positive trend between flocculation efficiency of Chlorococcum sp.

When the flocculation efficiency was compared with the proteins content, it was seen that there was a definite trend.

Notably, there was an increasing trend in the number of these calls over the study period.

The values of SORMR are between 0–5.5 and present an increasing trend.

The distance to the medical center was positively associated with BMIZ, and marginally significant for two of the three algorithms.

If we consider the three fully-adjusted models separately, the cognitive-judgmental aspects of well-being, measured with the Satisfaction with Life Scale, have a direct, though marginally significant ( p -value: 0.078), connection with Internet use; degree of physical activity; volunteering; wealth; lack of impairments related to ADLs or IADSLs; age and being married.

Even though statistically of marginal significance, this was also true for male thyroid cancers (HR 1.74), female breast cancers (HR 2.24) and radiation-related cancers (HR 1.59 for males, HR 1.77 for females), but not for radiation-insensitive cancers (HR 0.59 for males, HR 0.98 for females).

For males, the risk was elevated but marginally significant in the survival analysis, with wider confidence intervals ( Table 3 ).

The effect estimates for the youngest cohort became almost significant ( Table 4 ). 3.3.

With this model, the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 were analyzed, and the conclusions were as follows: The overall risk of the water environment demonstrated a decreasing trend in the study area.

A significant trend of increasing PM 2.5 efficiency and decreasing potential mortality reduction can be witnessed from the east to the west among China’s cities.

As observed from the urban illustration, the lower PM 2.5 concentration efficiency agglomeration mainly exists in the cities of the northern coastal area and eastern coastal area, which shows a decreasing trend from the east to the west.

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.

Differences between moderate and other asthma severity levels were highly significant according to the one-sample Chi-square statistical test.

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 ].
