While a lottery and threat of punishment in the vignette experiment have no statistical significant implication on our respondents’ beliefs, our small lottery experiment suggests that even lotteries greatly decreased the number of individuals refusing the register for the vaccine, though the small sample size makes this effect only marginally significant.

Nevertheless, an encouraging trend was observed in Bukit Bangkong village which was found to have the least infections (14.9%).

According to pixel statistics, the inter-annual change rate, k , of NDVI showed an increasing trend from 2001 to 2020, accounting for 98.64% of the entire study area, and only 1.36% of the area showed a decline ( Fig 8A ).

However, the NDVI in this region showed a trend of slow increase, and the long-term trend k was between 0 and 0.003 ( Fig 8A ).

In terms of interannual variation, the air temperature in the study area showed a slightly increasing trend, with an average annual increase of 0.047°C.

In terms of spatial distribution, the overall trend of the multi-year average air temperature distribution showed a decreasing trend from southeast to northwest and from east to west ( Fig 5A ).

Although this is not surprising, due to the antimicrobial properties of this fat [ 18 , 21 ], the fact of reaching higher representation later on at the end of the experiment, with a clearly significant predominance in Sutterellaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae [ 19 ], increased the expectations in this sense.

Within them, patients with non-V3a/b subtype and positive PD-L1 showed a trend towards a longer OS.

Changes in performance were varied with a 100 m time-trial improvement of 0.6% [ 41 ], whereas practically significant improvements at the elite level of 0.8% in 50 m front-crawl was also were reported by another study [ 19 ], as per the smallest worthwhile change in Olympic level swimming being 0.3–0.4% [ 50 , 51 ].

Lines 291-292: You call a “P = 0.07” “marginally significant” below.

From both biomarkers, ST-2 showed a trend to be elevated in AF patients and seemed an interesting biomarker but it did not improve the performance of NT-proBNP.

Therefore, the serum FGF21 level after aerobic exercise may be affected by upstream regulatory factors, showing an increasing trend initially, and then decreasing.

Indigenous cattle populations showed a trend that the length and number of ROH increased from north to south [ 38 ].

Statistical analysis demonstrated that the individual parameters by themselves displayed only modest significance and had low predictive power compared to the pyrexia scores calculated by the proposed algorithm.

With respect to individual, university-like organizations, the ETH Zurich was on rank 1 for both 1900–2019 and 1990–2019, although with a decreasing trend (T 2015-2019 = 0.79) in relative paper contributions in recent years ( Fig 6C ).

Among the symptoms of stress analyzed at baseline, we detected significant associations between immigrant-related stress and symptoms of sickness, aging too quickly, and trouble staying asleep, but only the association with staying asleep remained marginally significant at follow-up ( S2 Table ).

A Chi-square test returned a highly significant association between these variables for each of the three timepoints if the OTU counts were weighed according to the number of sequences assigned to each OTU ( Table 3 ).

Cities are becoming increasingly intensified and engineered with an increasing trend for high-rise buildings and a commensurate decrease in green space [ 38 ].

0.35% of road length experiencing HREs, with a cumulative length of 714 miles, show a negative trend.

About 22% of road sections experiencing HpR exhibit an increasing trend in the annual occurrence of HP events with time, indicating a riskier future ahead.

Over 33,887 miles of road sections (~5.3% of all road section within the CONUS and ~17% by length of the road sections experiencing HREs) show a positive trend of HREs.

Overall, we observe an increasing trend in average similarity during the mHTI in all three years: as the institute proceeded, scholars appear to have become more similar to one another in terms of their perceptions of team psychological safety.

Furthermore, there were highly significant correlations between BMI or triglycerides and plasma PAI-1, indicating that participants in our groups were representative [ 42 – 44 ].

Although the numbers are small, with only 9% receiving radiotherapy, the trend toward significance in survival is different to another small study on consolidative radiotherapy in HIV DLBCL, which found no significant difference in OS in patients who received radiotherapy [ 48 ].

On the other hand, the Moran indexes of the spillover risk probability maps indicate a slightly larger degree of clustering that might be significant (p-values smaller than 0.005).
