Excerpts

In terms of the distribution pattern of the main peak, the peak of the main peak of the national carbon emission density function is increasing and the width of the main peak is decreasing, indicating that the absolute difference in national carbon emissions is showing a decreasing trend.

However, for the limitations of Cramér’s V, which is the tendency of generating a relatively low correlation value for highly significant outcomes [ 47 ], Cramér’s V generated a low dependency value even though the chi-square dependent factors had high significance (lower p value). 4.8.

Then, it provides a dynamic analysis on the APE of the YREB from 2010–2019 and studies the differences in the agricultural efficiency in the YREB by using the combination of the DEA and Malmquist index without excluding the influencing factors of environmental factors and random disturbance, with the APE of the YREB showing an increasing trend in terms of fluctuation=; however, the APE of Jiangsu and Hubei is low due to environmental factors.

Several factors may cause these contradictory results; however, a few of them may be significant.

The overall supply level enjoyed by these communities is higher in the main urban area and lower in the new urban area, which is characterized by a decreasing trend of radiation from the urban center to the periphery.

FMD after hypoxic breathing showed a trend to increase, therefore suggesting that the influence of hypoxia-triggered microparticle formation is limited in our setting and, possibly, a greater influence of inspired NO.

Urinary BPA and t,t-MA concentrations showed an increasing trend, both warranting further studies on their exposure pathways.

It showed a decreasing trend during the emission reduction phase of the 2008 Olympic Games, and a continuous decreasing trend after enacting the enactment of the APPCAP policy in 2013.

In polydrug users, there may be significant issues with recall of the timing or frequency of prior use.

For example, if the number of steps per week is compared and there is an increasing trend in the number of steps compared to last week, we can guess that the participants exercised to gain steps during the week.

Health communication and messaging interventions tailored for Black cisgender women that target misconceptions, stigma, attitudes, and risk perception may be significant in increasing PrEP acceptability and uptake in this population.

All the recorded ODs show a decreasing trend for the covered period.

Negative, moderately significant correlations were found between participation as well as between the sub-scores of participation: physical activities, social events, and frailty (see Table 3 ).

During the physiotherapy intervention, a positive trend and an increased level were seen, which were maintained during follow-up.

the predicted peak flow (delta_PF) were significantly different in the post-fire period when compared to the pre-fire or during-fire periods for Fire #1 and marginally significant for the during-fire vs. post-fire periods for Fire #2 ( Table 3 ).

Possession of an independent children’s room has positive effects on migrant children’s self-esteem, which is marginally significant, providing some support to Hypothesis 1b.

Public complementary health insurance improved access to dental care (aOR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.48, 3.95), and private supplemental complementary health insurance was linked to a positive trend toward significantly better access (aOR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.02, 2.65). 3.3.

In fact, in our findings self-efficacy also showed an interesting trend, with a progressive increase from before to during the pandemic (Self-Efficacy: 28.28 before the pandemic, 36.54 in the second wave).

However, the analysis of the complete live birth dataset revealed a clear trend toward lower birth weight, especially in the case of older and less educated mothers.

In the multivariate model including the educational factor, an increasing trend of newborn birth weight was observed only for primiparous mothers in the age group 20–24 years.

Therefore, an increasing trend in the use of smartphones was noticed.

While road traffic injuries (RTIs) are decreasing in high-income countries, reports from 2016 showed an increasing trend of RTIs in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a disproportionately higher rise than the number of motor vehicles available [ 2 , 3 ].

The number of studies published annually on this topic was low and remained practically constant until 2005, after which the number of publications began to increase, achieving a highly significant increase in the final five years. 3.2.

Indeed, HR infants in the subsample seemed to show a small trend toward preferring the familiar trials over the novel ones at test.

Measuring O 3 seemed to be affected by temperature and RH, with a negative trend, except for a handful of sensors, while the effect of WS was more mixed.
