The water discharge into the Yellow River initially showed a decreasing trend but then increased from 1990 to 2016.

UK’s national statistics data found that there is overall an increasing trend of 1.6%.

The results indicate that from 2005 to 2020, Jiangsu’s ACEs showed a decreasing trend, with an average annual decrease of 0.32%, while agricultural carbon emission density (ACED) showed an increasing trend, with an average annual increase of 0.16%.

The second was whether ER and hospital inpatient service utilization showed a decreasing or an increasing trend with an increase in the total number of outpatient visits.

Trend Test of Association between Outpatient Visits Types and ER or Hospital Inpatient Services Utilization There are two main trend findings, as follows: firstly, a decreasing trend in the number of hospitalizations, and secondly, an increasing trend in the chance of ER visits with the number of total outpatient visits.

Overall, the total ESV showed a decreasing trend. 3.3.

This study observes an increasing trend in the number and frequency of papers on vulnerability in the Himalayan region because only seven (7) papers were published during the first period (from 1994 to 2011), while fifty-two (52) of them were published in the last nine years (2012–2021) ( Figure 4 ).

The increase in non-vegetated areas in Tocantins in these last ten years has been an important trend shown by the Brazil MapBiomas platform, with native vegetation being replaced mainly by areas of agriculture, livestock and urban infrastructure (MapBiomas, 2021).

Both comparisons are at the limit of significance.

Statistical significance of differences between the compared means was assumed at p < 0.05, and probabilities at p < 0.01 were considered highly significant. 3.

The strength of their internal logical association is an increasing trend.

The research result is theoretically and practically significant for both China and other countries or regions worldwide when formulating environmental regulations and their implementation. 2.

In addition, the ratio of the trunk flexion/extension strength of peak torque showed a decreasing trend, whereas that of work and average power did not change significantly following PT.

In the past 20 years, energy consumption for human activity and economic development in the YRB has been relatively large, showing an overall trend of fluctuating growth. 3.1.2.

Based on a confidence level of 0.05, the Mann-Kendall test results were divided into nine grades: extremely significant increase, significant increase, slight increase, insignificant increase, no change, insignificant decrease, slight decrease, significant decrease and extremely significant decrease.

ET showed an increasing trend in the most regions of Ningxia, accounting for 96.58% of the total area ( Table 1 and Figure 6 ).

The unnecessary use of a single dose of intravenous antibiotics, especially a third-generation cephalosporin (ceftriaxone), is a worrying trend since these should be reserved for complicated UTIs [ 51 ].

All four groups show a slight trend of increasing average SUHI intensity through time.

A wide body of research has already demonstrated that defense mechanisms might be significant predictors of physical and mental health [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], especially under stressful conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].

Enhanced Workforce Safety and Improved Management Pledges toward OSH The highly significant influenced social factors pointed out by the interviewees were enhanced workforce safety (frequency: 9.8%) and improved management pledges toward OSH (9.3%).

The change in pattern of carbon emission levels from 2005 to 2019 showed the change of urban production energy consumption, the rough development mode leading to a continuous rise in total energy consumption, which, in turn, led to the rise of carbon emission quantity, but the annual growth rate of carbon emission quantity from 2005 to 2019 showed a decreasing trend.

The intra-regional differences in carbon emission quantity in the eastern region were the first among the three major regions, and the intra-regional differences showed an increasing trend during the study period, showing the imbalance of urban production energy consumption in the eastern provinces.

Since the 1990s, in the countries of the global economic centre, the incidence of breast cancer has followed an increasing trend [ 3 ].

In fact, they generally show higher nitrate contents at lower TDS values, roughly resembling a negative trend ( Figure 5 a).

Similarly, the industrial-central area wells display heterogeneous responses: #19 shows a stationary pattern, #17 and #20 a decreasing trend (slope Theil-Sen around −0.2) and #18 a relevant decrement (slope Theil-Sen = −0.83).
