Furthermore, every 5% increase in transboundary water resources has a decreasing trend, which shows that although increasing water diversion quantity from transboundary river basins was conducive to socio-economic development, the utilization efficiency of water resources of transboundary river basins decreased.

The criteria for significance in the procedures was set at p < 0.05 (significant) and p < 0.01 (highly significant). 3.

The prevalence of dementia shows an increasing trend, with it estimated at 5.0% and the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment at 27.0% [ 3 ].

The economic shock, nevertheless, as seen globally, is likely to be significant.

Previous studies that approached SmO 2 using other NIRS positioned in the vastus lateralis during a dynamic maximum knee extension exercise obtained results that were very similar to those obtained in this study, revealing that the knee extension exercise caused a slight increase in this variable and then a decreasing trend according to all the publications consulted [ 19 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].

Results with p < 0.01 were reported as highly significant.

(3) The EI has a highly significant positive promoting effect on ESTFP at a significance level of 1%.

Several of the significant determinants of CIM in the European sample of this study are also significant in Hong Kong, e.g., distance to school, age, neighborhood settlement types (in our sample: street connectivity, accessibility of public transportation, and availability of open spaces), and density are significant in both Europe and Hong Kong, but household income is significant in Hong Kong but only marginally significant in Europe.

The prevalence of cyberbullying perpetration, victimization, and their overlap varies in different countries and research contexts, and there has been an increasing trend in recent years [ 10 ].

Results: There was an increasing trend observed in the reported cases of HIV/AIDS in Fujian Province.

A positive trend in its economic growth and improvement in inhabitants’ lives has been observed [ 1 ].

When participants were classified by tertiles of BPA and Σbisphenol concentrations, a significantly increased risk was observed for the women in the second versus first tertile [OR 3.7; 95%CI 1.3–10.3 and OR 5.4; 95%CI 1.9–15.6, respectively] ( Figure 1 ), although a significant trend was not observed ( p -trend > 0.100).

In addition, TBARS concentrations showed a close-to-significant relationship with increased endometriosis risk [OR 1.6; 95%CI 1.0–2.8], and classification by TBARS concentration tertile revealed that the association between endometriosis risk and concentrations of BPA [OR 2.0; 95%CI 1.0–4.1] and Σbisphenols [OR 2.2; 95%CI 1.0–4.6] was only statistically significant for women in the highest TBARS tertile (>4.23 μM).

Compared to normative PSS-10 data, our means showed an overall trend of higher averages in the country-level analyses we report (e.g., Germany and Mexico; we were unable to find pre-pandemic PSS-10 data for Pakistan) [ 12 , 47 , 52 , 53 ].

Other studies suggest that there is an increasing trend in gambling, the prevalence growing rapidly in adolescents to decline in young adulthood [ 69 , 85 ].

In a study aimed at determining the prognostic factors of perceived health 3 months after surgery, the use of walking aids before the fracture was evidenced as a significant and independent risk factor for a low PCS-12 score, PCS-12 score prefracture, and cognitive dysfunction, while the only statistically significant and independent risk factor for a low MCS-12 score was the prefracture MCS-12 score, and while the female gender demonstrated marginal significance [ 46 ].

For males and according to LOWESS, we found a steady trend from the youngest ages to middle adulthood (around age 55), following a negative trend until the age of 74 and an increase from there.

This result was also confirmed by regression analysis: geographical location entered in the model with a p -value at the limit of significance).

As the significance test for small coefficients that are of no practical significance tends to be statistically significant in a large sample [ 24 ], we chose the absolute value of correlation coefficient > 0.3 [ 25 ] as the threshold of being practically significant in this study.

In Miami, none of the racial/ethnic/nativity groups are significantly over- or under-represented in 100-year flood zones, although the result for non-Hispanic Whites approaches statistical significance for overrepresentation.

According to Figure 4 , the early-warning value of ecological security in the Qinghai alpine agricultural mountainous area showed an increasing trend each year.

Interactive Effects of RH and Air Pollution on FeNO The interactive effect between RH and PM 2.5 showed a nonsignificant trend towards an increase in FeNO for days with medium (percentage change = 0.02; 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.05) and high (percentage change = 0.02; 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.06) PM 2.5 concentrations compared to days with low PM 2.5 concentrations ( Table 4 ).

Regarding the incidence in the general population in Münster, ASRs illustrated a decreasing trend of total GC and other/missing type of GC, whereas no significant trend for intestinal or diffuse GC could be seen.

The contribution rate of the cultivated land is located in the second place, with an average contribution rate of 26.55%, and the ecological value also shows a decreasing trend.

In the study area, the dominant source of Ca 2+ provided by gypsum and anhydrite dissolution and that of Na + provided by the dissolution of the Na 2 SO 4 minerals mirabilite and the nardite can be deduced from the highly significant correlations between Ca 2+ versus SO 4 2− and Na + versus SO 4 2− ( Table 3 ).
