[ 37 ] reported only statistically significant increased odds for hyperactivity/inattention and a nearly significant increase for total difficulties.

Overall, there is relatively little change in HHI overtime in developed countries; though there is a slight trend toward less concentration.

The current study found that the lactate dehydrogenase activity and urea level were surprisingly the highest in the goalie/substitute group, compared with the midfielder/defender group, and a decreasing trend of the levels of these variables over time was noticed in these groups (a significant negative correlation of LDH and urea with match-time for the season).

The most active players, like midfielders, perform immense physical effort during each soccer match, so it is therefore not surprising that an increasing trend in the CK level was observed in this subgroup.

An increasing trend is forecasted over the next few decades.

The average annual precipitation is 1308 mm with an increasing trend from upstream (1035 mm) to downstream (1616 mm), and the precipitation in the southwest monsoon season (rainy season) accounts for 85.2% of the annual precipitation ( Figure 2 a).

A positive value of the slope indicates an increasing trend and a negative value a decreasing trend.

Data from the FAO in 2006, collected from six developing countries, showed that there was an increasing trend in dietary energy availability from 1970 to 2000 [ 12 ].

Results: A time-trend analysis shows that the infanticide rate tended to grow despite a decreasing trend in the quarterly infant mortality rate.

Results indicate that: (1) compared to the original Terra DT and Aqua DT AOD data, the average daily spatial coverage of the merged AOD data increased by 94% and 132%, respectively; (2) the values of four-year average AOD were high in the north-east and low in the south-west of the PYRD; (3) the annual average AOD showed a decreasing trend from 2014 to 2017 while the seasonal average AOD reached its maximum in spring; and that (4) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and slope contributed most to the spatial distribution of AOD, followed by precipitation and population density.

According to the relevant literature [ 50 ], from 1960 to 2012, the number of haze days showed an increasing trend of fluctuation in Xi’an.

[ 6 ] found an increasing trend in ED dental visits over the years 2001 to 2008 in data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).

There was a highly significant association between MA and the environmental component of the QOL scores [ 12 ].

Before the introduction of CII, an increasing trend existed in the OOP expenses.

Yet, the heritability between fathers and offspring was highly significant, arguing against a simple spurious association fully explained by an aftereffect of pathogen transmission of infection during pregnancy.

The results in Table 6 show that all of the coefficients obtained from the RPL model were highly significant at the 1% level and the signs agreed with our expectations.

The RH add showed a trend for a more asymmetric pattern than HA for all musical cadences.

In these studies, there was a significant trend for increases in the number of infections in contacts as the degree of smear positivity in index TB patients increased.

The best regression equations were selected according to two criteria: the equation had to be logical (i.e., it had to provide a causal explanation for an observed trend), and it needed to have a high goodness of fit (i.e., R 2 ) [ 38 , 40 ].

Each age- and sex-adjusted risk ratio and attributable fraction was highly significant.

Introduction The role of healthcare workers (HCW) in the transmission of pathogens from patient-to-patient is well documented; however, increasing evidence reports the contaminated environment as highly significant in pathogen transmission; in particular, high-touch surfaces are recognized as a possible reservoir of infectious agents and their contamination can pose a risk also for the spread of multi-resistant organisms [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ].

The incidence rate of benzene toxicity has shown an increasing trend between 1994 to 2012 [ 4 ] with the main cause attributed to occupational exposure among workers in the manufacturing of basic chemical solvents and refined petroleum products [ 2 , 5 ].

A strong trend in the reduction of energy consumption does not hamper economic development in China, with late-2015 to early-2019 providing a good empirical example.

All paired comparisons between the lowest difference category (< 5 dB) and the other difference categories were highly significant (post hoc), despite the difference category variable itself was not significant in the model (cf.

By analyzing the equation between the genetic toxicity and the parameters of FQs, it can be seen that the coefficients before TE, EG, Q YY , Q ZZ , Q XZ , Q YZ , CT, GE, log P , HL, and Mol Wt were all positive, indicating that they had positive effects on the genetic toxicity of FQs; that is, the genotoxicity of FQs showed an increasing trend with increasing TE, EG, Q YY , Q ZZ , Q XZ , Q YZ , CT, GE, log P , HL, or Mol Wt.
