“a negative trend”

East Asians have a belief that one’s life trajectory across the lifespan is not linear but fluctuating or cyclical (Ji et al., 2001 ), helping them reappraise a negative trend in their life into one that has a promising outlook.

Similarly, analysis of clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas-Breast Invasive Carcinoma (TCGA-BRCA) cohort reveals a positive correlation between WWOX expression and E-cadherin levels, alongside a negative trend with fibronectin levels in TNBC samples.

It is worth mentioning that the isotherm of NaA zeolite ( Fig 3 ) shows a negative trend in gas adsorption; this may be due to the pores of the zeolite being blocked, preventing the correct adsorption of the gas.

High-throughput sequencing showed that the microflora of each sample had a positive trend in alpha diversity and a negative trend in beta diversity.

According to current observations, the soil moisture content in the Arctic does not yet show a negative trend and remains on average close to saturation.

Assessment of antibiotic prescription patterns in the pulmonology department based on classification AWaRe 2021 and WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) 2021 (22nd edition) revealed a negative trend in the use of the most costly group (A) of antibiotics with a low level of evidence of efficiency or safety in pulmonology: Doripenem, Ertapenem, Levofloxacin, Cefepime.

Large parts of Amazonia show a negative trend in atmospheric moisture content over the past decades ( 25 ).

Whereas ASV31 and 56 remained unaffected by early life determinants, ASV26 was significantly lower in high SES infants and maternal non-smoking children and showed a negative trend towards eBF (Fig. 2 , S5 data ).

The proportion of BMVC-positive cells significantly correlated with the percentage of cell apoptosis in a negative trend ( Figure 5d ).

In female liver, Fst expression showed a negative trend but did not reach statistical significance.

On the contrary, the Top1O network shows a negative trend, evolving from the pick of 160 countries in 1960 (that is, 70.8% from the total number of countries) to 116 countries in 2000.

It is also worth noting the effectiveness of monotherapy with iPDE-5 in the short term ( p = .05); however, upon observation after 6 months, a negative trend in the obtained IIEF scores was noted, likely associated with the persistence of a high level of stress, which will be further discussed.

We visualized a negative trend between over-water flight, wind speed, and hours since sunset, and found a positive association between use and both temperature and the change in temperature over a 24-h period (Fig. 5 ).

There was a negative trend between observed DIN and predicted tick activity based on borreliosis cases diagnosed in the Helsinki healthcare district (estimated with a 1 month delay from tick bite to diagnosis), but due to low samples size, there was no power to detect it statistically ( n = 5 months, r = −0.51, p = .38) (Figure 4 ).

However, a negative trend was revealed regarding the energy flux density (EFD).

When comparing beta1 values before and after the language course, a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a negative trend; that is, a decrease in beta1 power between T1 ( M = –0.85, SE = 0.35) and T2 ( M = –0.89, SE = 0.32), 95% CI [–0.05, –0.01], effect size = 0.68.

On the other hand, the zeta potential value has a negative trend (−16.37 mV) due to the presence of carboxylic groups on the surface of the conjugates.

In the present study, younger parents and those with less education reported spending more time in active play with their children compared to those older than 32 or with higher educational attainment; although there is limited research with preschool parents in this area, one study found a positive trend between parent education and preschooler physical activity and a negative trend with parent physical activity [ 88 , 89 ].

Most of these studies reported statistically significant positive outcomes (or at least positive trends) for survival or tumour remission and quality of life, while several studies reported no effect on survival, recurrence, remission and QOL; just one study showed a negative trend for disease-free-survival [ 15 ].

These findings suggest that prosthetic rehabilitation for partial tooth loss may help reverse a negative trend in cholesterol, possibly by restoring masticatory function and enabling a healthier diet.

However, significant changes in δ 13 C shell through time can also indicate broad shifts in ocean carbonate chemistry, as documented by a negative trend in modern δ 13 C shell in M . californianus relative to δ 13 C shell of archival and archaeological M . californianus shells collected in Washington State [ 58 ].

When plotting the individual baseline 4 β OHC levels against the respective paired after:before 4 β OHC ratios, a negative trend between the two variables was apparent (i.e., those with lowest baseline obtained highest ratios and vice versa; Figure 1 c ).

The results indicate that neonatal complications and prematurity alone do not significantly predict dyslexia diagnosis, but a negative trend was observed between intraventricular haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia and reading comprehension and word decoding performance.

“Bed Characteristics + Year” was best supported for Δ % Generalists (ΔAICc = 0.00), displaying a negative trend with D 50 . Δ % Herbivores was best modeled by “Year-only” (ΔAICc = 0.00), although the “Hydrologic Variability + Year” model was also supported (ΔAICc = 0.80). Δ % Tolerant was best modeled by the “Bed Characteristics + Year + Riparian Canopy” model (ΔAICc = 0.00), with a significant negative relationship with riparian canopy cover and a negative trend with D 50 , while the “Riparian Canopy + Year” model was also supported and showed the same negative relationship with riparian canopy cover (ΔAICc = 1.28, Table 4 ).

Even though the correlations were negligible, we noticed a negative trend between height and spine length reduction, indicating more shrinkage in heavier and taller patients.
