Excerpts

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.

While all four meteorological variables were statistically significant, due to the large sample sizes, not all those effects seemed to be practically significant.

Cincinnati is classified as a humid subtropical climate zone (Cfa, Köppen climate classification) and demonstrates an increasing trend with more extreme hot and humid weather types [ 27 ].

Similarly, the unaffected hands of both the patients showed an increasing trend of TCT for IE and CE tasks of track 4 ( Table 4 ).

However, the results of the included studies are insufficient to indicate a favorable trend from the effects of BFR in the long term and follow-up; therefore, future studies are required to evaluate these periods in order to demonstrate whether its effects are maintained or improved with respect to high-load or aerobic exercises.

As regards to the ground workers, a decreasing trend in positivity percentage was noted; likely as a result of the trainings carried out, the ensuing greater consciousness of his or her own role following the training received, and greater awareness due to the regularly performed medical checks.

Hazardous air pollutants will show a decreasing trend as the level of green technological innovation increases.

If we consider the change in physical activity practiced before COVID-19 and during lockdown, a significant increasing trend (within-group comparison) of the frequencies was observed for younger age groups ( Z = 2.73; p < 0.01), while a decreasing trend was shown by subjects in the three older age groups.

Previous research of this study population employing single-chemical models have found either significant or borderline significant associations between these two PAHs and childhood leukemia [ 60 ].

The PCB index was also positively associated with the outcome although this effect was marginally significant (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.96, 1.51).

Table 5 shows the effect of “time1” was highly significant, whereas the interaction “time1 × treatment” was not significant.

Further, a significant trend was observed from very good to very difficult childhood indicating that among those who evaluated childhood as difficult a higher proportion reported to live with underweight and obesity and to have low consumption of fruit and berries and fish, high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and low level of physical activity.

However, one of the limitations of our approach is that the results produced are likely to be significant underestimates of the true burden of disease from transport.

In the period, weight and BMI were observed in an increasing trend in all urbanization trajectory groups, among both men and women.

These findings confirmed our results, where mercury-exposed gold miners suffered significantly more often from neuro-psychological disorders [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 54 ] and showed somewhat significant worse results in neuro-psychological tests [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 54 ].

While our data are consistent with data from other centers [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ], there is an increasing trend, especially in the US, to reduce the LOS to one day by using the awake-surgery method, which increases safety without compromising outcomes [ 42 , 49 ].

When the range of Φ was between 0.7 and 1.0, as Φ increased, S L showed an increasing trend as well.

When the range of Φ was between 1.0 and 1.3, as Φ increased, S L showed a decreasing trend.

These results indicated there are more published studies of teacher mobility from North America, which was an expected trend, given that the high turnover rates in the United States are widely known [ 4 , 10 ].

Second, as a whole, the carbon emission TFP of China cities does not perform well, but it shows an increasing trend over time.

The industrial green efficiency in Sichuan province was low, but in recent years industrial green TFP is greater than 1; green technical efficiency showed a trend of rapid growth, but the technology progress inhibited the trend.

For word production, contrary to our hypothesis, the Early pointers showed a trend that was similar to the Typical pointers.

The Early pointers showed a positive trend in word comprehension, which developed at a higher rate than for the Typical pointers, as we had hypothesised.

Turning to the moderating effects, those for the Early pointers on the linear developmental trend of comprehension were positive with respect to the Typical pointers, as expected, and nearly reached significance (b = 0.173; 95% Bayesian Cred.
